Chapter 13 & 14: Past of the Ghosts
"How may I help you?" the butler, Kai, said with a bow
Zoey raised an eyebrow at the ghost's polite nature, "Um….Hi….?"
Kai straightened himself and gave a smile, "I suggest you leave once you finish your business…"
Pikachu and Yori both growled at Kai but he only ignores them and disappeared as he kept walking. Dawn freaks out at this, she shrieked and began running off.
"Dawn!" Ash, Brock, Zoey, and Mel called out
"You troublesome woman! Get back here!" Paul shouted as he ran after the girl
"Hey! You guys, we can't get separated in here!" Mel cried out but it was to late, "Geez, are those two always so energetic?"
The group couldn't help but sweatdrop at the thought of Paul being energetic.
"Yay!" the little girl cheered while jumping up and down, "We have new people to play with, Mr. Gengar!!"
The pokemon grinned, "Yup! I'm sure they'll love to play with us! Actually I sense two people coming this way, Mimi!"
The girl giggled as she ran out the room, "More friends! Yay!"
The ghost pokemon gives spine-chilling laugh as it dissolves out of the room.
"G-Ghosts!" Dawns shrieked as she ran through the burnt corridors.
Paul gave an audible groan as he ran after her, "Why is she my girlfriend again?"
"Well well! What do we have here?"an ominous voice called out
"Ep!" Dawn immediately stopped running and jumped behind Paul.
Paul pushed Dawn further back and pulled out Chimchar's pokeball as Gengar appear before the two. Gengar waved his finger after seeing this, "Ah ah ah! Things wouldn't be fun if you could fight back!"
Gengar's eyes glowed blue and than all of Paul's and Dawn's pokeballs disappeared. Gengar smirked as Shadow Ball formed in between his hands, "Now let's have some fun!"
"Where are those two?" Mel wondered as Yori jumped onto her shoulder
"Knowing Dawn, she probably ran off to the other side of the building…" Zoey said
The group suddenly heard laughing.
"Tch it's the ghost pokemon!" Mel grunted
Just as the sentence left her mouth the group was surrounded by ghost pokemon that materialized into the room. The ghosts were mostly Gastly and Haunters.
"We're surrounded!" Brock exclaimed as he and Ash reached for their pokeballs
"What do they want?" Ash questioned Mel
"I'm not sure. I've always ran into them every time I look for Rotom!" Mel replied
"Monferno! Mon!" Yori cried out after jumping off his trainer's shoulder
"Pika! Pikachu!" electric began forming at the pokemon's cheeks
"Glameow, curtain" Zoey yells as she threw the cat's pokeball in the air
"Let's go, Croagunk!" Brock exclaimed while throwing the pokeball
"Glam! Glameow!"
"Croagunk! Croa!"
Through all the fighting and trainers yelling out commands, Mel pulled out a pokeball and tossed it behind her so no one would notice. From the pokeball came a dog-like pokemon with a very short tail, yellow fur that were sharp as needles and a white spiky collar.
"Akira, try and look for Rotom!" Mel whispered softly
"Jolt!" the pokemon replied nodding its head before disappearing in the blink of an eye
Mimi skipped through the corridors of the mansion with her worn out Chimchar doll, until she spotted Paul and Dawn dodging Shadow Balls.
"Awww! Mr. Gengar's losing!" she giggled
Dawn turned her head at hearing the new voice, "Ep! It's another ghost!"
"Dawn! Pay attention!" Paul shouted as he tackled Dawn to the floor, barely escaping the in coming Shadow Ball.
"Urg…thanks Paul" Dawn whispered as she opened her eyes
Dawn soon noticed their position. Paul was above her with hands on either side of her head, making it look like he was pinning her to the ground. Mimi sees this and couldn't help but laugh; even Gengar stopped attacking to snicker at the two. Paul blush lightly and quickly got off of Dawn and gave faint apology as Dawn sat up with her face just as flushed. Mimi suddenly appeared beside Dawn, "Ahahaha! Big sis's blushing! Big sis's blushing!"
"Big sis?" Dawn thought to herself as the ghost gave her a smile
"Looks like the young mistress has taken a liking to you!" Gengar sighed, "Guess that means the fun just ended for me…"
Paul watched in confusion Gengar made Mimi and Dawn laugh by making funny faces, "What the? Aren't they the enemies?"
"Hang on" Dawn said, "Aren't you supposed to be evil ghosts?"
"Evil ghosts?" Mimi asked aloud as she cutely tilted her head to the side
"Someone told us some ghosts have been causing problems for some people" Paul informed
Mimi puffed her cheeks and pointed accusingly at Gengar, "Mr. Gengar! I told you to stop scaring people who pass the forest!"
Gengar scratched the back of his head and replied sheepishly, "Well it gets boring here and the gang and me just wanted to have some fun!"
Mimi puffed her cheeks again and turned her back to Gengar while crossing her arms across her chest.
"Oh come on, young mistress! Don't be mad!"
"Hmp!"
Akira slowly walked down one of the many corridors in the mansion. She kept looking left and right, trying to find any sign of the electric ghost pokemon. Suddenly, a trail of electricity passed from one room into the opposite room. Akira ran into the same room the trail ends and become aware of the large TV in the room. She walked over to the TV and sat down in front of it, waiting patiently. A pair of eyes soon appeared on the screen and then the rest of the body became visible. The figure was shaped like a lightning rod with blue aura of electricity around it making it look like lightning.
"(Come out, Rotom)" Akira pleaded
"(How many?)" the pokemon inquired with miserable eyes, "(How many more times are we going to go through this?)"
"(Until you finally decide to return to Mimi's side)" Akira answered in a soft tone
Rotom sighed and jumped out of the TV screen and moved in front of the lightning pokemon, "(But how can I go back to Mimi? She thinks I abandoned her…and I did…)"
"(You didn't abandon her…after all you're the one who protected her soul when he burnt down this place)"
Rotom chuckled lightly, "(Your trainer is something. To be able to figure out what happen that night all those years ago…"
Akira narrowed her eyes, "(She found out that he was the one behind the burning of this place. He found out that you were part of the Council of Legends despite you not having a legendary rank.)"
Rotom shifted his eyes to the ground, "(I was at one of the meetings when Gengar telepathically told me that one of the appliances had caught on fire. His Majesty allowed me to leave and when I arrived the fire had already spread to Mimi's room and that she was cornered!)"
Akira's eyes softened as she watched tears roll down the pokemon's face.
"(I possessed the showers and the sinks trying to put the fire out but the flames just wouldn't go away!)" Rotom glared at the burnt ground, "(It was made of dark flames that wouldn't go out with normal water and it was targeting everyone and everything's soul. I rushed to Mimi's side and found that she and Gengar were unconscious. At the same time I also felt Kai's presence diming. I used the little power I had left to form a barrier around the three and any remaining pokemon left to protect their souls from being consumed…and now their soul is chained to this place!)"
Rotom sighed and looked to Akira, "(If I hadn't left for the meeting that day… then maybe…)"
"(This isn't your fault, Rotom)" Akira interrupted, "(You did what you could…I'm sure Mimi will understand your reasons just talk to her…)"
"(But I can't!)"
Akira gave Rotom a hard glare, "(You're just being selfish now!)"
"(What?)"
"(You believe that this is the only way to atone for your so-called "sin"? You're willing to let Mimi think you abandoned her when you were right beside her the whole time…are you willing to let her continue her afterlife without you?"
With that said Akira stood up and strolled out the room. Rotom turned his gaze to a picture that was framed and placed on top of the TV. In the picture there were three figures, Mimi, Gengar, and Rotom. Mimi had her arms out stretched, making it look like she was going to hug you, signifying she took the picture. Both Gengar and himself were holding up what looked like a brand new Chimchar doll. All three of them had a grin that went from ear to ear…a true and real smile…
"(Hey!)" Rotom yelled out as he went after Akira, "(Wait up!)"
