Pokémon Diaries
Fated Moment (Episode 14 or Chapter 14)
Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Pokémon. Somebody else does. (Lucky them)
Side Note: This fic is almost over! AND it's going to be good! (Well, at least I hope so) So please R&R! Can't wait to hear from everyone! :D
Narrator: As Ash and company arrive in Cerulean, the first thing they notice is a giant grey solid dome covering the area where the Cerulean Gym would be, knowing nothing can get in or out...without force.
May: Do you guys see that? What's up with that dome thing? It's ugly.
Dawn: I don't know May, but I bet Misty is stuck in there.
Brock: It has to be Team Rocket. Only they could pull this off.
Drew: And I'm guessing that's the Cerulean Gym that's been blocked off?
May looked to Drew, then back towards the dome.
May: Yea, I just hope Misty is alright.
Ash: She better be, but if not, then I'm going to give Team Rocket a piece of my mind.
Chuckling was heard somewhere above them.
Familiar Man's voice: Ooh someone's feisty today.
Ash and his friends along with Pikachu, looked up above them to see Team Rocket in their Meowth balloon. The only thing different about this balloon, was the fact that it was decorated with rockets and reflective mirrors along with some sort of cannons.
Ash: Team Rocket. *in a pissed off tone*
Jessie: Listen, is that a voice I hear?
James: It's speaking to me loud and clear.
Jessie: On the wind!
James: Past the stars!
Meowth: In your ear!
James: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace. Dashing hope, bringing fear in its place.
Jessie: A rose by any other name is just as sweet.
James: When everything's worse, our work is complete.
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Meowth: And Meowth, now dat's a name!
Jessie: Putting the do-gooders in their place
Team Rocket Trio: We're Team Rocket, and we're in your face!
Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
A moment of dreadful silence surrounded everyone as Team Rocket finished their usual introductions.
James: Uh...what's with these twerps? Their unusually quiet.
Jessie: *chuckling evilly* We finally stunned them into silence! Oh look, poor twerps are scared of us. Hahaha!
As James and Jessie start laughing, Meowth peered down from their balloon, and noticed the killer looks on Ash's and his friends' faces.
Meowth: Uh...knuckleheads...use your eyes for once! Dat's no scared looks on deir faces!
Jessie and James: Huh?
Just as Jessie and James looked down, Ash, Brock, Drew, May, and even Dawn brought out their Pokémon. Even their Pokémon looked pissed off.
Ash: I'll give you one last chance Team Rocket! Get rid of that dome, or we'll get rid of you for good!
Stunned looks were on the Team Rocket trio for a moment, until they broke out into laughter.
James: Ha-ha! That twerp has guts!
Jessie: He thinks he can get rid of us that easily!? Ha! What a laugh!
Brock: What are you talking about?
As Team Rocket stopped laughing, Jessie raised a controller of sorts in her hands, while she smiled smugly along with James and Meowth.
Jessie: Just try it you twerp! You really don't want to see what this can do!
Meowth: Dat's right! One wrong move, and dat gym goes bye bye!
Stunned silence surrounded everyone, until Brock spoke up.
Brock: ... Are you saying that there are explosives surrounding the dome?!
James laughed loudly.
James: How thick can you get? The explosives are inside the dome! Ha-Ha!
Suddenly Jessie and Meowth ganged up on James.
Jessie: Don't be stupid James! You're giving them our plans!
James: No I'm not!
Meowth: Yes you are! Have you ever noticed why our plans always go wrong? It's because dose twerps always figure a way out when we tell dem our plans!
Jessie: Meowth has a point James and you know it!
Meanwhile, Ash and his friends were already coming up with a plan in a huddle, while Team Rocket was arguing.
Ash: You heard him. The explosives are inside the dome. Meaning we have to get rid of those explosives, before we get rid of the dome and Team Rocket.
May: But how are we supposed to do that? That dome looks really tough to get through.
Drew: I have to agree with May. Even with all of our Pokémon combined, we won't even put a scratch on that thing.
Ash looked at Drew, then to everyone else.
Ash: I never said anything about going through it.
As Ash looked at Brock knowingly, Brock smiled back at Ash knowing his plan well.
Brock: Way ahead of you Ash. *takes out a Pokéball and threw it* Go Steelix!
As Steelix came out, Ash was semi-surprised to see it while remembering that Brock said he didn't have his Steelix with him, since it was with a friend of his.
Ash: I thought you said Steelix was with a friend of yours?
Brock: I got it back before we left Prof. Oaks party. My friend was there, he gave Steelix back. *turning towards Steelix* Steelix! I want you to make an underground passage to the gym!
As Steelix buried itself underground, Brock was about to follow it, until Ash stopped him.
Ash: I need you to hold off Team Rocket with everything you've got. *looking towards Drew, May, and Dawn* I need you guys to stay here and help Brock out, and try not to blast them off into space again. *looking towards Pikachu* C'mon bud, let's stop those bombs!
Pikachu: Pika!
Before anyone can say anything, Ash jumped into the hole in the ground with Pikachu, right after Steelix returned to Brock. At the same time, Team Rocket heard the ruckus that Steelix made.
Meowth: Ack! Look! Dey made a hole in the ground!
James: Guess they aren't that dense after all.
Both Jessie and Meowth hit James on the head, for being an idiot giving away their leverage in the battle.
Jessie: Ugh! Looks like we've got no other choice!
As Jessie was about to push the button on the remote, Brock's Crobat knocked the remote from Jessie's hands with its Wing Attack, sending the remote to the ground. While Drew's Flygon caught the remote in mid-air.
Jessie: Hey! Give that back!
Meowth: Looks like we have to fight dis one out Jess!
James: Bah! Take this brats!
Narrator: As Team Rocket battle it out with Brock, May, Dawn and Drew, Misty heard the battle going on outside of her Gym, but she couldn't see a thing since the dome was blocking her view.
Misty: That has to be Ash out there.
Daisy: You sure Misty?
Misty turned around to see her three sisters looking more worried by the minute.
Misty: I'm sure that's Ash. It has to be him.
Violet: What if it isn't Ash? Didn't you tell him not to come to you?
Misty looked at her sister a bit surprised.
Misty: How did you know that?
Violet: Um...*looking towards Daisy*
Misty: Daisy? I told you not to say anything!
Daisy: But that was before Lily told me that we didn't have any hope of getting out of here, but like, we do now!
Misty shook her head in annoyance.
Lily: Look Misty, Ash is out there battling for our... I mean, for your freedom. You should like, be happy.
Not a moment later, the ground shook below them for a few minutes leaving them scared for themselves.
Misty: What was that?!
Daisy: Maybe an earthquake?
On that moment a tall and shiny Steelix popped out from underneath a ground, a few feet away from them Gym, and the Sensational Sisters along with Misty.
Misty: Steelix!? How...? No way... that means that...
Suddenly Steelix disappeared back from where it came from, leaving a gaping hole in the ground.
Daisy: W...was that a Steelix?
Misty: Yea it was. But it was Brock's. Does that means that Brock is out there fighting, and not Ash?
A few minutes later, a Pikachu climbed out of the hole.
Misty: Pikachu!?
Pikachu: Pikachupi!
As Pikachu jumped into Misty's arms, Misty looked up to see that Ash alone climbed out of the hole that Steelix made.
Misty: Ash...
As Ash stood up he looked at Misty with longing in his eyes, not until he remembered why he came here to the Gym for.
Ash: Hey Misty...look, there's something I need to do here, but it's gonna be risky for you to be out here. So...go back inside where you will be safe.
Misty: Huh? Why?
Ash: Just...do it alright?
Misty: *fighting back the urge to start an argument* Ash...why should I hide, where the danger is clearly outside, since I can hear a fight going on?
Ash looked away.
Ash: Misty, I don't wanna fight you. But I also don't wanna see you get hurt.
Misty looked into Ash's eyes only to see that his eyes were filled with sadness, but with a tinge of something that looked like protectiveness. She had never seen that look on Ash's face before, which meant that being inside was a hell of a lot better than inside and outside of the dome combined.
Misty: Alright, I'll go inside. But Ash...
Ash looked at Misty, not losing that sad look in his eyes,
Misty: Whatever is happening...I believe that you can save us.
Ash knew that the "us" was not meant for the Gym and her sisters or her friends, but it was for the both of them alone.
Ash: *smiling* I'll be back, don't you worry. *looking at Pikachu still in Misty's arms* You ready buddy?
Pikachu: Pika!
Ash: Alright! Let's do this!
As Pikachu and Ash ran to the outer side of the Gym, Misty ushered her three sisters back into the Gym, while being more worried than she already was.
As Lily closed the door behind them, Daisy spoke up.
Daisy: What was that about Misty?
Misty shook her head.
Misty: I don't know. But I know Ash. He is never serious, not even in Pokémon battles. But, the look on his face now... I've never seen that look on his face before. He was dead serious on keeping me safe...something is going on...something not good.
It was a full hour later while Misty only thought of Ash, where a big explosion was heard somewhere outside the Gym. Causing the whole Gym to shake and make a few loose bricks fall to the ground. As the shaking stopped, Misty heard that one thing she never wanted to hear in her life again.
Pikachu: PIKAAAAPIII!
