Heart of Sorrows
There is a massive twist. It maybe only to me though but I hope you think it is too. Also Ash can understand Pikachu!.
Chapter 11
Pikachu's POV
Running…. Running that's all I could do, I just couldn't stop. James was trying to catch up to me but he was failing, falling over numerous times, before slowing his pace and panting for air. Soon I lost him in this maze of trees.
I could smell Ash's scent getting stronger; I knew I was closer to him than before. I stopped, I could hear something faintly. I raised my ears to check my surroundings, what I heard made my eyes tear up.
'Pi….ka…chu…I..I..Lo..ve Yo…u'
The voice went silence… my heart stopped.
'I LOVE YOU TOO' I shouted, My voice echoed through the trees.
'H..el…p… M…e'
Ash….
I followed his voice through the forest. It leads me to a beautiful lush green opening which was full of Pokémon. An object caught my eye, it was a dark log, I swear I had seen it before. Next to it laid a body of a boy.
The boy had raven hair; he wore a red jacket and tight black jeans. The boy looked hurt. I ran over to see if I could help.
On the way I saw a red hat lying on the log. I quickly ran over it, it looked very familiar. It was upside down, I picked it up. My heart sank.
The hat had a white half semicircle.
The red hat belonged to my best friend. Maybe he lost it or maybe its not even his. I looked on the inside of the hat and on the rim of the hat Ash and I put our mark.
Inside the hat it states:
Ash Ketchum
And
Pikachu "PikaPi"
(PikaPi means Ash)
Next to my name has my paw print. I remember the day we did this before setting out on our new journey together.
FlashBack
We were on the airplane and Ash fell asleep. So I decided to take his hat off as a little joke. But he immediately woke up.
'Pikachu give me back my hat' he giggled,
I shook my head.
I had a black felt tip pen in my hand but unfortunately I held the wrong end and the black ink transferred to my paws then passed onto the hat accidently leaving my small paw print on the rim of the hat.
'Pikachu your ruined my hat' Ash wasn't amused.
'Sorry' I gave the pen and hat back to Ash, I put my head down in shame before starting to walk away.
'Pikachu come back, im not mad at you!' Ash said with a grin on his face. 'You gave me an idea'
Ash began writing his name with the black felt on the rim of the hat and wrote mine next to it near my paw print 'Best friend forever til the end'
'Yeah' I squeaked in happiness.
We both looked at eachother and couldn't stop giggling.
This was 10 years ago
FlashBack Ended
I started to smile but it quickly faded as I turned my attention to the unconscious boy on the ground. I ran to his aid hoping he was still alive, I put my ear next to his mouth to listen for breathes but there wasn't any. I noticed the red jacket was soaked, I touched it and my hand felt wet what I saw on my hand made me feel sick. My hand was cover in red liquid. Then I realised that the jacket wasn't originally red… I looked at the boys face I moved his blood soaked hair out of his eyes, I back away quickly as tears gushed out.
'PikaPI… PIKAPI' I yelled… nooo he can't be dead.
The red jacket was originally blue the one Ash wore on his way to Kalos his mum made it for him. 'New clothes, new adventure' we always used to say.
My eyes began to become sore as I tried to rub the tears away but the continue to fall.
I thought I would be able to save him this time….
I cuddled up next to Ash's body, I wanted to be with him for as long as I could but I quickly fell asleep.
10 minutes later
'Pikachu… Pikachu buddy wake up' hissed a boys voice,
'Not now im tired' I answered as I cuddled into Ash's body more,
'Pikachu WAKE UP' shouted the voice impatiently.
I opened my eyes to see a raven haired man he had 'z' birth marks under his eyes, he had auburn eye that looked soulless… he was wearing a tight blue jacket and black tight jeans.
I rubbed my eyes a couple of times… Ash…
'PIKAPIII' I yelled as I was happy that he was alive.
'Pikachu we need to get back, im glad that I found you buddy' Ash said with a huge smile on his face.
'Ash how did you find me?' I asked a bit confused,
'I was walking around searching for a place to rest so I could try to find you in the morning. And you were lying by the log' Ash explained he looked honest.
Yesterday must have been a dream…
'really…' I questioned him,
'Pikachu why would I lie to you?'
In many ways Ash wasn't Ash, he didn't have that cheerful spirit like it had been taken away… Well we have all had a bad day so that may be why hes acting like this but its not falling me.
'Well you don't seem yourself' I continued chatting,
'How can't I be myself?' Questioned Ash, he looked puzzled.
'For starters your not as cheerful and ready for anything like you usually are' I answered honestly.
Ash just looked down as if I had hurt him by my words.
'Im sorry Pikachu' Ash replied to me.
I couldn't resist the urge any longer, I jumped up to Ash to nuzzle into his cheek. My eyes sparkled. I stretched my arms out wide to hug into him and never let go… but there was only one problem… I went straight through him. I looked back at Ash. He seemed horrified as he touched his chest. He didn't know either.
'Inkay use Psychic' Shouted a man within the tree.
My body was surrounded in a purple light as I was slowly lowered to the ground.
I quickly ran over to Ash. He was in shock.
'WHAT HAPPENED?' I yelled I couldn't help myself.
'I DON'T KNOW' Ash yelled back. Before I could reply I looked over into the forest to see James emerged with a look of confusion rise as he looked towards me. Then he looked over to the log with a shocked look that overtook his face as he raced towards it.
I looked at Ash then looked to where James was headed… there was still a body.
I used quick attack to get there quicker than James. Ash trailed behind me. Once I approached the body. I took another good look, it was my trainer, my best friend, my partner and my family. Ash Ketchum was lying on the ground lifeless but all that remained was the soul of Ash.
'How… How. Am…Am I DEAD' Ash panicked as he began to walk in circles.
'…' I couldn't say anything, I didn't know what to say I was overfilled with sadness that I couldn't think straight.
'Pikachu am I dead' Ash asked again.
'Unfortunately yes' I began to cry again.
'There must be a reason for why im back… in…this…form' Ash wondered.
I didn't know why Ash was back but I was glad as I knew he was with me.
'Pikachu who are you talking to?' asked James,
I gulped and ran away with Ash following. 'I guess only I can see you' I whispered, 'I miss you…' I began to feel the sense of longing and lost for my trainer. I knew his soul was here but not the real him, the one I could hug and nuzzle into. And not the best friend that I would travel with and battle together. I could no longer do that because Ash… Well Ash is dead!
'Pi I wish that I was with you all the time but we knew that someday this would happen but no matter what I will always love you til the end of time' Ash stated I could tell he wanted to pick me up and hug me.
Something hit me in the head, not literally but I thought about what had happened earlier. 'You saved my life after I saved Dawn's' I mentioned, I wonder if Dawn's okay?'
'Maybe that's my quest to find Dawn' Ash said as he regained his smile.
'That may be harder than you think' I said looking around.
'Why?'
I shook my head and laughed 'Well we are in Kalos while she is in Sinnoh'
'Oh right' Ash said rubbing his hand on his neck.
I sat on the log for a little while thinking about all the travelling I had done with Ash and now it had finally come to an end. I knew I never saw ever region out there but I knew travelling with my best friend made my life complete.
Meanwhile Back In Sinnoh
Bonnie was running throught the forest heading back to where she had started… The Sinnoh Airport.
'Bonnie, where are you going?' Misty asked as she tried to catch up to her.
'You can't just run off on your own you know' said Kasey still annoyed by not being able to go to her Electabuzz game.
'IM GOING BACK HOME' Bonnie shouted,
'Well were coming with you' said Tracey
