Chapter 7.
A Dark Coincidence
The trio were bored. Very, very bored. As they walked through the woods, it was clear that nothing bad was going to happen, at least not for a while. They travelled pretty far, but their weary legs did not stop them. They had a mission… And they were gonna complete it.
Ash scratched his head… ' How much further…'
' For crying out loud, I swear this darn forest goes on Forever ! '
' Quit your meaningless complaints' Brocked replied. ' Your just wasting your breath, in a situation like this you have to control everything you do… We are in a desperate time Ash, and if anyone should know this already I was sure it would be you.
' All right all right ! Jeez…
' Look fellas ! ( Misty pointed )
We have reached the city ! Yay !
' Hmph, its about time… Ashley folded his arms in a slump.
They continued to walk into the city…
Little did they know that, the pokemon centre was far from safe.
As they walked through the mist, a shadow of nothing was watching from afar.
Eyes…piercing like daggers…
There they were, they had finally reached the pokemon centre.
Misty looked through the window. It seems there was actually nothing there at all.
Where was nurse joy ? chansey ? anyone !!??
' Dude, you'd think even in a fan fic like this thered at least be Someone to turn to !!'
' Whats that Misty ? '
Ash and Brock were puzzled…
' Aheheheh, nothing guys, just thinking out loud !'
Anywho lets go inside. Even if no-ones there then it will at least have some warmth, im freezing out here!
As they entered, the door slipped open, in a crackle of stardust.
Empty.
The walls were dark, and pale. The carpet was stained, down with tears and rips everywhere. The windows were completely black. It was supposed to be morning, but the sun did not rise. For some random reason…
' This bites guys. Nothing anywhere ! ' Ash quickly became frustrated.
' Hold on.'
Theres something on the side here… its dusty, but it could be of some use .
Elm's Report 2.
After my research failed, the shadow pokemon are restless.
I couldn't help but to join him… 'He threatened us with destruction of pallet town as we know it… But still, I feel meaningless in the situation now. I secretly betrayed him, I only joined because I had no choice, and now, I am on the run.
If anyone finds this.
Stop him. Stop him now.
Before its too late.
The rest of the words were too blank to read.
' Who ? ' Who Created the shadow pokemon then ???'
' It doesn't say.
The name has been scratched out, and its impossible to read.
' Damn. Any clues ? Where is this guy… I want to give him a piece of my mind.'
Brocked coughed… ' Like I said, we don't know.'
' Fair enough. Its settled then.'
' We'll just have to find him ourselves !'
' I've had enough of this! All this destruction, and pain…
Ash broke out into anger, and tears…
' I had a dream once !! For gods sake… I always wanted to be a pokemon Master.
This person, whoever he is, he is destroying the love the people have for the Pokemon!'
I'm one of the best trainers there is ! Do you have any idea how much I have struggled through to get where we are now? A lot. Oh yes, all over the world… Not to be selfish, but to help Others. After all my journeys, we have helped so many people…
I have a dream!
' And He's not going to take it away from me!'
Brock and Misty were touched…
Lets go then. They both said at once.
' We're gonna stop this . NOW.
Ash's words had given them inspiration.
They dashed off out of the pokemon centre, and into the night.
They exited the building.
Thud.
They fell to the floor.
Knocked out cold, almost immediately…
They were being taken away.
( Approximately 521 Miles away, 2 hours later )
' Ughh…. Where are we…'
Misty, Ashley and Brock were in a Room.
A Black Room.
No Lights.
No Sound.
Nothing.
' What ? How the hell did that happen. The last thing I can remember is running out of the pokemon centre when… something got us… I cant remember.
Brock stopped his speech.
' Be quiet. Don't say a word. Don't even move.
Misty was in fear.
They stood there.
There were no doors, windows, or any escape.
Very weird, it was as if they were in a different dimension. Nothing resembled the human world.
All of a sudden.
A Screen Appeared.
Right on the far wall, in clear view of the trio.
Pikachu didn't like it.
'Pikachu….chu…..'
He jumped into Ashley's backpack. And hid.
A voice echoed.
' Greetings.'
' And Welcome to my Insane Asylum'.
The trio were in peril. They had no chance here. Whoever it was, they were on his turf, and no escapes. Ash reached for his belt.
' Listen I don't know who you are but you better let us go ! '
Pokeball, GO!
Hm, what ??
AH!!!!!!!!
Nooo!!
' Guys. They've taken our Pokemon !'
The voice echoed once more.
' Hmph, do you honestly think we are that stupid ?'
' Of course we took them, And from this day forward we shall use them for our own personal gain, better than you fools ever could'
Misty was outraged, so were the others.
' Listen you big bully if you don't let us go im gonna *^&*:^&%^:^%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Misty screamed !!!!
The facial expressions on ash and brocks face were unthinkable.
Anyhow.
The voice was mature. Very deep indeed.
' You got some lip. Maybe you could work for us one day hm ? '
Misty was infuriated ' Not a chance ! '
' Now you let us go, and give our pokemon Back !'
Brock Yelled ! ' Misty's right . As a Pokemon Breeder, I hereby state you have broken 67 federal offenses. It would be in your best interest to let us escape before the government heres about your little mishap. If I were you I'd see it my way.
Brock was calm. He knew Exactly what he was doing.
' Pitiful… The voice replied. The government have no business here.
In fact, I am immune from them.
You see, I have created my own Dimension.
Our own world.
A sound flicked. A switch was pressed.
The light was switched on.
Before them, a Man was standing.
A Cane of pure Diamond he was holding, looked incredibly sharp.
A Blue Blazer, and a Tie that looked like a business man.
His trousers reached down all the way to his jet black shoes, and his face…
Well you could say it was evil itself…
' I. Am Giovanni.'
Ash was angered.
' Who are you ?'
The Man laughed.
' Do you not remember the Mewtwo Incident ?
I was there.
Do you not remember all those times you were chased by villains ?
My doing.
Did you not see all the shadow pokemon are destroying the world ?
I amaze even myself sometimes.
Genetic Beings, engineered and full with hate, and anger… That is my ideal pokemon.
That was it.
Ash Was Infuriated !
' That's Enough !!! Arrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!
He charged towards him ! Pokemon are Not Like That ! Damn You !!!!
He ran, and speeded towards the foe…. His hand was ready to punch the man.
' I do not think so.'
' Persian !'
The cat like pokemon pounced from the shadows, and Pinned Ash to the floor.
' arr!!' The pain was deep as his claws scratched the trainer.
' Stop ! '
Brock and Misty Ran towards him.
' I would not do that if I were you.'
Giovanni Raised his staff.
' One move, and One word from me and this boy will become my kittens next meal.'
They had to stop… but only for Ash's safety.
Brock asked.
' Giovanni… What do you want…'
The man Smirked.
' Everything. Power. Money. The World.
'And if I have to take your lives to achieve this, then I shall.'
All hope was lost.
There was no happiness left.
The man was crazy. There was no logic in his thinking… and nothing could stop him…
Pikachu wanted to help Ash… but he could not move… for 1 step and his master would be seriously hurt.
Was there… any way now… to continue…
Ash thought deep.
For the first time in his life… The confidence was gone…
As the darkness closed in, he was near fainting.
However…
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The wall beside them Burst open.
A Light Crawled in through the Darkness.
' What ? Who's doing is this ?'
Giovanni was angry. More angry so than He was at present.
There was…. Someone there….
Music ????
It was sounding… from a pair of audio speakers in the wall…
' Prepare For Trouble !'
' And Make it Double !'
' To Protect the world from Devistation !'
' To Unite all Peoples within our Nation !'
' To Denounce the evils of truth and Love !'
' To Extend our reach to the stars above ! '
' Jessie !'
' James !'
' Team Rocket, Blast off at the speed of Light !'
' Surrender now, or Prepare to Fight !'
' Meowth, That's Right !!'
It was Team Rocket.
' All right !'
Ash Misty and Brock….
All yelled toether, in Joy.
For once…
They were actually happy to see them.
James Spoke.
' Now Now children, don't have fear. We are here to help.'
' You see, Jessie replied, The Boss hasn't been paying us, and we have a bone to pick with him !'
Meowth cried ' And no more money… Tat means no more Food ! We're so starving, we're gonna have tah revolt Boss ! You asked for it !
' Pitiful…'
Giovanni echoed.
I never payed you to begin with fools ! You never succeeded in catching the Pikachu you promised me Years ago…'
' That's not important ! Jessie and James said together.
' We don't care about catching Pikachu !
' In fact, ( Meowth Replied ) Hehehe… We kinda came up wit a much betta idea!
He pressed the red button on the controller he was holding.
Zap !!??
' Argh !' What is the meaning of this !? '
A Beam of electricity shot out at Giovanni, Pinning him to the floor.
' You had this comin Boss ! '
' You neva treated any of us with a decent respect !'
' Not tah mention all da times ya left us for the other rocket members !'
James shouted : ' That's not important Meowthy. What is important is that we stop his shadow pokemon. It's a villainous idea, but even us guys have limits.
Jessie yelled ! ' And for that, we must help the Twerps ! '
Brock, Ash and Misty were touched… There was good in their hearts…
Yeah ! Ash saw this is a distraction.
He Pushed Persion off of him, and jumped for Giovanni's Cane.
' Hahah ! An Opening !'
Giovanni snarled…
' You will pay for this ! '
' Wanna bet ? I think you'll the one whos gonna be forking out the cash when I break this priceless diamond cane of yours !
SNAP.
He broke it in two parts.
' No ! How Dare you defy me !'
' All of you ! You are Done ! '
Giovanni had 1 pokeball.
Persion was sent away.
' You have unleashed my fury. As a gentleman, I didn't think it would have to end like this.
Go !
Dark Mewtwo !
