Pokemon Talking "Hi"
Telepathically "Hi"
Chapter 8: My Human Mom
Since the attack on the Pokemon Center. We now find our reunited heroes back together in the forest, planning on what their next action.
"Tell me again why we're in the middle of the forest and not back in the Center?"
"Because May, Its safer for Ash and Lu out here than in a building full of people who might try and capture them." Max told his sister.
"We are lucky that Nurse Joy and Samantha promised to keep it all a secret."
Brock couldn't agree more with Dawn. "Only a angel like Nurse Joy would have the heart of gold to keep such a life changing secret."
Ignoring the delusional Pokemon Doctor, the others turned their attention to the Mew. "So Ash, do you have any plan somewhere in that empty skull of yours?"
Ash rolled his eyes at Misty's question. "Right now we need to figure out who's doing all of this, find where they are and rescue the Legendaries. Who ever it is they're using the same traps as that collector guy that we met in the Orange Islands."
"You think it could be him doing all this?"
Tracey disagreed. "Last time I checked, he was put in prison."
May got out a small tablet from her bag. "It might be him, the local news says he just recently found missing from his cell."
"Doesn't mean it could be just him. Someone could of helped him escape." Lu pointed out.
Ash scratched his head with his long tail in thought. "Yeah, and in return helped make more traps?"
"We can't be so sure, we need to find more clues on who's doing this." argued Brock.
"It must be an organization. Only they have the power and money to set something up like this." Said Max "But Ash had face off against Team Rocket, Magma, Aqua and Galactic. It could be any of them or one that we've never heard of."
The group was silenced, thinking to the point that it hurt their heads. Dawn finally had enough. "Well like Brock said, we aren't going to know until we find more proof. So I think we should get dinner started and get some early rest. Its been a long day." With that said the group of teens agreed.
The night was peaceful with a pitch black sky filled with bright stars. The group of Trainers and Pokemon slept without a care in the world, all except for one white Mew. While Ash was asleep next to Lu and Pikachu, but his mind was in a completely different place. He was floating in a dark room, no light, no sound. He didn't like it, something felt really bad. "Hello?" He called out, he wasn't expecting a reply when all of a sudden.
"...Ash..."
The young Mew's eyes widened. That voice, it sound so familiar but yet it sounded broken, unheard of. He flew closer to the voice and looked still nothing. "Who's there?"
"...Ash..."
Again he flew closer towards the voice but this time he found someone. His heart broke from the sight. A women, cuffed to a chair, covered from head to toe with cuts, bruises, and burn marks. It took him a second to realize who it was, he never saw her like this before, she was always healthy, full of spirit. But now she was completely broken.
Her head slowly lifted up and her black eyes looked at the Mew in front of her, and she smiled. "Since I found you on my door step...I always knew you're special, Ash.."
"..M-Mom.." He couldn't believe it. This wasn't her. This must be a nightmare. But his body moved closer to the broken form of Delia Ketchum. "W-What...What happened to you!?"
"These people...took me...they called themselves Team Rocket. They moved me..to their base...kept asking me all these questions about you. I..never told them anything. So...they..."
"T-Team Rocket did this!? This was them!" Ash was in a state, his own eyes never stopped crying and his voice was braking from his emotions.
"Yes, Ash...I think..they're the ones...that started everything."
Ash couldn't take this, he hugged her with everything he had, his crying never slowed down. "T-This can't be real! This is all a dream, I'll wake up right? You're fine."
She only shook her head. "No, Ash. I'm awake right now...Even if you're not in front of me physically... I can see you in my head, I-I can hear your voice. This...is real."
"N-no...this can't..."
"Ash look at me." His golden eyes looked right into her brown ones. "I don't know if I can make it through this...but please listen to me. I thought..I would never be happy. After...I was left and the love of my life...abandoned me. But...you came...I was trusted to look after you and love you...and I was so grateful...I was given a chance to...raise a baby, even if it wasn't mine. You made me proud...going on your Pokemon journeys...even if you got into dangerous situations that frightened me so much."
"M-Mom, I.." she gave him a gentle shush.
"Promise me, Ash. Never change...and stay happy... No matter what."
"I...Promise."
She smiled "And if you're ever human again make sure to change your you know whats...and always keep your fur clean."
Ash was to emotional to argue and just nodded. "I will, Mom."
"Thats my baby boy."
The world around them started to fade around them as Delia's eyes got heavy. Ash panicked he didn't know what to do, how to save her. "No, Mom! Don't close your eyes! Please don't go!"
"I love you."
"NO!"
Her eyes closed, along with her heart.
"NO!"
Everyone jumped at Ash's scream. Night time was over and everyone was about to get breakfast ready. "Ash, whats the matter?"
Ash ignored their questions. He was having a hard time controlling his breathing and in a fit of rage shot a shadow ball at a near by tree, causing it to fall and the Pokemon inside to fly or run away.
"Ash, why did you do that?!" Misty shouted. It was new to see Ash this worked up. He looked at his friends, the tears appearing and dampening his fur.
"Shes dead! My Mom! IT'S ALL TEAM ROCKETS FAULT!" He was going to release another attack but a flash appeared and pulled him into a hug, along with a pink tail wrapped around him. "Just let it out, Ash."
Ash new who it was. All he could do was hug her back like his life depended on it. "S-Shes gone...shes really gone..."
Mew rubbed his back in a motherly way. She felt so useless and she hated it, seeing her child like this and she couldn't do anything. "But she will always be watching over you. Like we did."
"Sir, our traps are ready to capture the targets on your word." said a Rocket Grunt.
Giovanni smirked watching the screen in front of him showing both Mew's. "Attack and capture."
