Misty's Return

Chapter 7

"Whoa look at this place, that must be the temple Brock was talking about," Ash said as he looked around the place, he and Misty were walking down the hill and reached the small river that flowed by in front of the temple, many water Pokemon swam about in it. Misty looked to her left she gasped at the beautiful sight she was seeing a blue waterfall cascading down the edge of a cliff.

"Ash look a waterfall," Misty called out to Ash who was looking the other way, the waterfall flowed from a small cliff that connected to the cave.

They both smiled while watching all the pokemon swim about "hey let's check out the temple." Ash suggsted he wanted to see what was inside.

"I don't think we should Ash." Misty didn't seem to like the look of the temple it looked quite run down bits of the stone seemed to be falling apart and there could be some strong pokemon in there.

"Oh come on Misty what's the worst that can happen," Ash said as he and Pikachu began running towards the temple and they stop at the bridge. Ash was about to his foot down on the brigde but was stopped by a aura spear heading towards him, Pikachu pushed him out the way.

"Pika!"

"Whoa...Thanks buddy where'd that come from?" Ash had fell on the ground, he was now sitting on it and pulled himself when Misty came over to him.

Misty frowned at him but her eye's widended when she saw the attack and she ran over to him "you where saying," Misty said quite smug and with a smirk. Ash just glared at her and ignored what she said.

Out of now where a Lucario appeared "it's a Lucario," Ash said as Lucario growled at them.

'Humans are not welcomed here so I suggest you leave.'

"What was that..did you just talk?" Ash asked shocked not many pokemon had the abilitly to speak.

'Yes by using telepathy I can speak to humans, now I advise you two to get out!' Lucario glared down at them.

"Wait please don't attack us..We don't mean to be here It's just we had no choice but to be in this cave and now we're trying to find a way out and we found this place." Ash siad as he tired to reason with Lucario and Pikachu helped out and it seemed to work as Lucario lowered it's hands and nodded and grunted.

'I suppose I could help you find a way out,' Lucario said as he turned round.

Meanwhile Team Rocket and the hooded figure still lurked about the tree and Meowth was getting impatient "hey what's that pokemon?" Meowth asked.

"That's a Lucario it's the guardian of the temple," the hooded figure said folding his arms.

"I say we grab it," Meowth almost jumped out the tree but the hooded figure grabbed him by the head.

"Not yet you idiot we have to wait until those kids reach the stones inside the temple then we can grab them!" The hooded figure whispered but in a slight yell.

Ash and Misty and Pikachu were about to turn back but as they did a Registeel blocked the way out "what's that?" Misty asked it didn't look very friendly.

'Oh no it's Registeel now that it's seen you humans there's no stopping it!' Lucario yelled and ran over to try and stop it from attacking them. 'Quick get inside the temple!' Lucario yelled while charging up an aura sphere.

Both Lucario and Registeel started battling one another one attack nearly hit Misty but Ash was quick to grab her by the hand and they both ran inside the temple,Pikachu was on Ash's shoulders. "Misty are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine...Thanks Ash," Misty slightly blushed and they both smiled at one another.

They walked through many stone corriders and everntaully reached a large room, right in the middle of the room were two big stone marble pilliers, the left one was pink and the right one was blue, covering the floor was a small pool of water under the pillers, the walls were carved with many different pictures of pokemon and green vines also covered the walls.

Ash and Misty walked further, and as they neared the small pool of water it started to glow they both gasped at the sight, it eventaully stopped glowing and two stones came out of the water and like the pilliars one was pink and the other was blue.

An evil laugh was heard and they both turned round switly to the entrance of the large room were right in front of it was Team Rocket and the hooded figure, "Team Rocket what are you three doing here?" Misty yelled.

The hooded stepped forward "you know it's a good thing that these three have been following you around for so long Ash heheh, otherwise I would never have discovered this!" He lifted his hands towards his hood and was going to pull it down to reveal himself.
