Part 12
Paul moans in agony. Ash tries harder, but it was no use, he had to think fast or Paul… No he wouldn't think such thoughts. He grabs the first pokeball he could grab out of his pocket. A red beam flashes and the exiting Pokemon was Chimchar.
"Chimchar!" The Pokemon shouts upon it's release.
***
Chimchar blinks in confusion. His old master was right there in front of his eyes. He couldn't believe that state he was in. Chimchar steps back and shakes with fear, his face masked with horror. "Chim…char…" He shakes his head side to side. He backs up a bit more, backing up into Ash's leg. He looks up, finding a tear-filled eyed Ash.
Ash looks down into Chimchar's eyes, "Chimchar please help Paul! Use Flame Wheel "
Chimchar shakes his head in agreement. He blows fire and wraps himself into a fire ball. He then moves swiftly like a wheel and crashes full force into the mechanical arm, which held Paul captive.
The arm fractured only slightly by the heavy blow. Paul continues to moan in agony. Chimchar then attempts yet again. This time loosening the grip enough to sustain Paul's pain. Paul then passes out. "Paul!" Ash quickly jumps back onto the mechanical arm. He grips tightly to the sides and pulls with all his might. Finally after Ash's effort Paul sides out of the hand. Ash captures Paul into his arms, thus causing Ash to fall to the ground. Ash looks down at Paul and sobs miserably. "Paul, Paul! Please wake up!" Paul wasn't making any movement. Ash hugs him to his chest. "I'm sorry Paul. I was lying when I told you I hated you! Paul I Lo…"
Suddenly the mechanical arm that held Paul explodes. Ash had to act quickly and roll with Paul still in his arms, out of harms way. Chimchar quickly dashes away in a different direction.
During this dilemma, Ash's Pikachu was trying to free Paul's Pikachu from the other arm. When the sudden explosion sends them flying into the nearby bushes, but it caused no harm to either. Ash's Pikachu fell on top of Paul's Pikachu, who quickly pushed him roughly to the side. He then dashes quickly to his master. Ash's Pikachu stares after him annoyed, but quickly dismisses it. He follows him in pursuit.
Team Rocket was trying to get their robot under control, but were failing. The controls were going haywire, tossing them every which way. "How do you stop this crazy contraption?!" James yells.
***
Ash was on top of Paul, holding him securely in his arms. Ash lifts his body slightly and looks down at Paul's face. He still has not awaken. "Paul please wake up. Oh please." He looks up into the dark sky above. Droplets of tears stream down his cheeks, and land onto Paul's face.
Paul's eyes flutter open slowly, and was surprised to see Ash. "…Ash?"
Ash quickly directs his eyes downward and smiles widely. "Oh Paul!" He embraces him tightly.
Paul widens his eyes at this and shrieks in pain. He couldn't remember exactly what had happened. His body was aching painfully, he knew that much. He looks past Ash and notices Team Rocket and their robot. The memories flood back in full force, causing him to push Ash aside, roughly.
Ash lands in the grass, and looks up at Paul, startled. Paul attempts to get up from the ground. His body was too injured though, so he just fell backwards.
Ash quickly gets up to attend him. "Paul you're too injured, stay put and I'll help you." He kneels down and offers his hand.
Paul slaps at his hand, "I don't need your help!"
Ash wipes at his tears and sends Paul a glare. "If it wasn't for me…"
"Pika!" Both Ash and Paul's Pikachu approach them. Ash and Paul direct their eyes toward them as they advance closer.
"Pikachu!" Ash yells with outstretched arms. Pikachu runs quickly to Ash and jumps into his awaiting arms. "Hey I guess you were worried. Well I can assure you, Paul and I are just fine, right Paul." He turns and looks down at Paul with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah." Paul says as he tries to get up.
Ash lets Pikachu go and reaches his hand out to Paul. "Just grab."
Paul sighs, "Alright." Paul grabs Ash's hand and Ash pulls him up. Paul stumbles, and to keep him from falling they both embrace. This causes them both to blush.
"Be careful Paul. Haha!" Ash lays his head on top of Paul's shoulder and smiles goofily.
Paul's face was heating up fast. He didn't want to lose control, but it felt so good. He wanted desperately to stay in Ash's arms forever. But he didn't want to upset the boy again with his strong feelings. Paul sinks his arms out of the embrace and pushes lightly onto Ash's chest. Paul looks down into Ash's eyes and halts at the sight. Ash looked absolutely breathtaking. His beautiful hazelnut eyes looking up at him. His stomach felt as though butterflies had blossomed inside him and were having a party.
"Paul…?" Ash questions as he looks into Paul's eyes. Ash was lost, Paul's eyes were something else. They were just gorgeous, the beauty in those ebony eyes of his. You could seriously lose yourself in those dark crystallites.
Paul and Ash's Pikachu watch in wait and wonder. Paul's Pikachu was frowning with his little arms crossed. He didn't have any idea what in the world his master was doing. Ash's Pikachu was smiling brightly, he knew what was about to happen. Chimchar comes up behind the two Pikachu in wonder also. All their curious eyes marvel at the sight.
Paul moves his head slowly down, his lips inches away from Ash's. Ash closes his eyes and puckers his lips on the await.
Paul's Pikachu widens his eyes. 'Wha…' Out of nowhere though a mechanical arm grabs all three Pokemon. Interrupting Ash and Paul's sweet moment. (A/N Errr!!! Those stupid Team Rocket. LOL XD) Ash and Paul watch in shock and anger. Pissed beyond words that they were interrupted.
"Pika!"
"Pikachu!"
"Chim!" The three Pokemon shout.
Ash looks up at Paul. "I'll be right back!" He settles Paul softly down onto the grass. Paul blinks up at him and flushes brightly. Ash sends him a shy smile before running off.
Ash runs over to Team Rocket, sliding into the dirt and halts. "Hey haven't you guys done enough today as it is?!" Ash glares up at them.
Jessie looks down at the youth outraged. "It wasn't our fault, as to what happened. How could we have guessed our robotic arm would go haywire? That doesn't mean we are going to give up on our plan!"
Ash produces a pokeball out his pocket and sends it soaring. "Go Gliscor!" The huge bat like creature comes out of the pokeball.
"Gliscor!" He sticks out his tongue, playfully and winks. (A/N: Awe I just love Gliscor. He's so cute! XD) Gliscor soars through the air waiting for Ash to command him to do something.
Ash points at Team Rocket. "Gliscor use Wing attack!"
Gliscor heads dead on at the trio, sending them flying into the ocean of darkness above. "We were so close too!" Jessie pouts.
James rests his hand under his chin, "Awe wasn't that just romantic. Twerp love. Woah!!!" He shakes with glee.
Jessie looks at him in disgust, "James!"
Meowth covers his face in embarrassment.
Wobbuffet comes out of it pokeball as they all disappear into the distance. Chanting their usual goodbye. "Team Rocket Blasting Off Again!!!
"Wooobbuffet!!!" Then they all disappear into the stars.
***
Ash catches Pikachu and Chimchar into his arms. "I'm so glad you're alright!" The mechanical robot crashes to the ground, a pile of dust left behind. Gliscor crashes onto the three in happiness. "You too Gliscor! Hahaha!!!"
"Gliscor!" Gliscor smiles happily.
Paul's Pikachu lands to the ground smoothly and then sought after his master. He dashes over to his master sitting in the grassy area.
Paul watches as his Pokemon approaches him. "Hmmm…" Paul was glad his Pokemon was alright. He takes out his pokeball, "Return."
Pikachu bows his head and a red beam sucks him into his pokeball. Paul looks at the pokeball for a brief second before returning it to his pocket. Paul then attempts to get up, but fails in his attempts. His body still ached.
Ash walks up and grins, "Don't even try Paul. You wont be able to walk for awhile now." He reaches his hand out. "Here grab."
Paul looks up at him and smirks. "Fine." He rolls his eyes and lets Ash pull him up.
Ash links his arm around Paul's waist. "Now lets get you to the hospital." Paul leans into him.
Pikachu smiles at the sight as he walks alongside the two. 'I think these two are one step closer to realizing their feelings for one another. This was much better than my plan.' He covers his mouth with glee.
***
Ash and Paul make their way to the towns hospital. On their way there, they both run into their friends. Dawn was the first to speak. "Oh my, what happened!" Her eyes open wide with terror. Some passing people were sending worried glances as well. Nothing like this has ever happened during one of their festivals.
Misty too, had a worried look. "What in the world?"
Ash sends them a reassuring smile, "No need to worry. He just needs to see a doctor, and he'll be good as new."
They all looked concerned still, but agree. Shaking their heads in understanding. Dawn gets on the other side of Paul, and wraps her arm around his waist also. "I want to help too."
Ash smiles at her, "Thanks."
***
They all rush to the hospital. The doctors took him in right away, now all they have to do is wait patiently. They are all seated in the waiting room, on a long green sofa. The room was small, but had a comforting feeling to it. A television was blaring in the corner. They were the only people there. Everyone else was having a good time at the festival.
Dawn hugs her Pokemon Piplup closely to her chest. "I sure hope he'll be alright." A single tear escapes her eye, with several more following.
Ash looks over at her, "Don't worry Dawn he'll be fine." 'I hope so.' Ash thinks as he tried to cheer Dawn up. He was just as worried for Paul as she, maybe more.
Brock studies Ash for a moment before he spoke. Ash could feel his stare and looks over at him. "So what happened Ash?"
Ash sighs, "Team Rocket."
They all speak at once, "TEAM ROCKET!"
Ash shakes his head up and down. "I couldn't believe it either. They had Paul and his Pikachu in their clutches." It pained him to relive the thought. "And if I wouldn't have shown up when I did, Paul would have…" He puts his fist into his eyes to keep himself from crying.
Brock lays his hand down onto Ash's shoulder. "He'll be alright now, that's all that matters."
Ash takes his fist away from his eyes and looks up at Brock. "You think?"
Brock smiles down at him. "Of course. Paul is a strong individual, you think a few broken ribs would stop him?"
Ash sighs in relief, "I hope nothings broken."
Brock smirks. "Maybe not."
Misty wraps her arm around Ash, "Yep, Paul will be just fine. You wait and see." Misty was still aggravated at Paul, but she made an exception since Paul was hurt. She could at least feel a little sorry for him. It seemed like Ash and Dawn did worry a great deal about Paul, even though he has been a jerk to them. Maybe Paul could change for the better, after all.
