Chapter fourteen
It's hard to believe that within a few hours, the things you treasure the most can vanish within hours. With Ash disappearing with only two days left before the finals and Dawn hiding to share her rage with only herself. I had to know only count on my three closest friends now, Drew, Lyra and Mimi. We had our thickest and warmest clothes over us. We all held our hands together as we made our way to the west side of Mount Silver.
I couldn't let two of the most important people in my life go.
Not ever.
Panting.
Running.
The two things my mind really focused on. Hall after hall, door after door. No sign for who I was really looking for. It felt like I was going nowhere and this running was completely pointless. Soon I was a figure in front of me.
"Drew!" I called out. He turned around as soon I called out his name. "I need your help!"
"Wait, what for?" Drew asked as he packing his things, ready to leave in a few days time.
"Ash is missing and I can't find Dawn either!" I panicked.
"But why would Ash go away with the finals only two days away?" Drew asked.
"I don't know, I don't know!" I panicked once more as I repeated the same words in the same sentence. Soon I started to cry in front of Drew. "Dawn is missing because she found out that…"I paused. I was afraid that if I told Drew that Ash and I were dating I would lose him to. I continued to gaze the dull grey carpet below me.
I don't want to lose anymore of my friends.
"…you two are dating." Drew stated.
"You knew?" I replied as I looked up at him.
"I could tell already." Drew told me. "I'm happy for you both."Drew added as he tried to smile. I knew deep inside of me he was hurt. "Don't worry. As a friend I will help you find Ash and Dawn."
"But thing is I have no idea where to find them." I replied as I wiped my tears away.
"Maybe we know." A voice called from behind.
I turned around and saw Lyra and Mimi together. Together and dressed in warm clothes ready to go outside. I could already tell by the way that they dressed that we were going to a very cold place.
"Mount Silver." Mimi replied. It was the first time I heard her voice so serious and determined.
"Why up there?" Drew asked. "The west side of this mountain has one of the worst snowstorms you can ever imagine."
"I have a feeling Ash wants time on his own. Why he did it, I don't know." Mimi added as she brushed her long brown hair off her shoulders. "It's the only place that would make sense to go. He knows it's a place where his hard to find."
"It's better if we all go together." Lyra added.
"And Kenny?" I asked.
"It's better if he stays here, with Dawn. So she has somebody to talk to and somebody can look after her. She isn't herself right now."
"I know." I muttered. I knew it myself already. Dawn running out of the room and hours later Ash goes missing. Could they be both connected? But Ash told me himself it's better to leave Dawn alone to think.
Did Ash have his own reason to leave before the finals?
I had to know.
We all had to know.
At first the snow wasn't bad but snow it got thicker within moments. We all held hands as we walked through the thick snow. My mind was a thick as the snow as many questions rose into my mind.
Why would Ash go? Is he really up here? Is he alright? Why didn't he tell me?
So many questions without answers.
And soon enough the four of us reached the cave Drew and I were in before a few weeks ago. We all decided it was better to stay here until morning where the snow would hopefully be calmer so we could continue the search for Ash. We gather all we need for a fire and hours past and Drew and Lyra were fast asleep. Only Mimi and I were still awake. Watching the cracking of the fire and gathering its warmth. I looked at Mimi's face. It had a sense of worried and uncertainly.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
All Mimi replied was a simple sigh.
"Maybe it's best if I leave you alone." I suggested.
"Thanks." Mimi replied in a soft low voice, nearly as soft as a whisper.
I soon stood up and walked around in the deep cave. I decided to look around to past the time. The cave was quiet and the walls were wet and cold. It wasn't dark since the roof of the caves had holes, so snow or rain could get in easily. I was at a dead end when I decided it was time to head back, maybe by now Mimi was back to her cheerful mood and out of her depression. It was around here when I heard heavy slow footsteps right behind me. It didn't last long when I turned around.
"Ash?" I asked "is that you?"
"I'm not Ash. The name is Alex." He replied. By the tone of his voice, he sounded older than me.
"Two trainers?" I asked.
"It's been news between trainers and coordinators that two strong trainers, one girl and one guy lives up on the mountain and challenges anybody they see up there, nobody has ever beaten them. This rumor has been going for three years and these two trainers have never gone down that mountain. "
"And their names?" Soledad asked who I didn't think she would be interested in Harley's stories.
"Many names but the ones I have heard often are the names of Amelia and Alex." Harley replied. "But they never talk from what I heard so I don't think that are even their names." Harley said as he started to think about the idea. "But like if we are going up there. We are going there for the grand festival." Harley cheered as his serious side quickly faded.
"You're one of the trainers that live on top of this mountain." I stated. "Are you here to battle me?"
"Like I said before. I don't battle people that let their Pokémon dance on a small stage." Alex laughed, but it sounded more of a mocking laugh to me. "I'm here to look for Amelia. She is missing."
"And why ask me where she is?" I asked in an annoyed sarcastic tone of voice.
"Because you two are the same age and she has the same colour hair as you and me."
For somebody to have lived on a mountain for three years straight, without and warm clothes over him, I was still amazed he could still talk to somebody and have a decent conversation with them. To add with that, he is actually looking for somebody around my age with my same hair colour. While we were talking it felt like I was talking to Ash himself. Alex did have the same eye colour as Ash and Mimi.
Auburn.
"I don't know where she is." I soon said right after. "Mimi was the one that dragged us here to look for my boyfriend, Ash."
"Mimi?" Alex asked. "Could it be?" He asked himself and soon ran off, towards where the others were sleeping.
"Hey! Wait!" I called but Alex completely ignored my call. I chased right after him until we reached the others. Alex didn't have a pleased look on his face.
"Amelia!" Alex yelled right at Mimi. "Get up now!"
Mimi didn't responded and kept staring at the fire which was about to go out. She soon turned her head around. Her eyes had fear, pain and many more mixed emotions in them. Alex had anger, distrust within them. Their eyes could express and tell more of the story than their lips could describe.
"Who…are…you?" Mimi asked. He eyes started it glitter as the water started to build in them.
"Don't play dumb, Amelia. Get up and let's go." His voice was so hard and demanding, it was terrifying to listen to. It strike fear to anyone. He walked right to Mimi and grabbed her arm. "Let's go!"
"Get off of her." Lyra called out as she pushed Alex off Mimi. "She isn't Amelia."
Alex just glared at the group and glared at Mimi the most and walked up the path until he reached me. He looked at me like he disliked me as well. But I had no idea why.
"We will meet again, and when we do we are going to talk." Alex replied before walked away from the group. The darkness at the end of the cave made him disappear and leavening the four of us alone once more. I turned around to face the others. I looked into Mimi's eyes and saw fear in them. I never saw this side of Mimi before, the side where only fear existed, where your say doesn't matter and where you're alone and can't get back.
"S…S…Sorryy…" Mimi cried. Her voice was so full of fear that you couldn't understand the words that came out of her lips.
"It's alright." I replied as I knelt down and placed my hand on her shoulder. "It's not your fault."
After that scene we all went to sleep without saying other word.
Light shown through the holes from the roof of the cave, as I opened my eyes to find that the weather had slowed down. To add to that Mimi was gone. After what happened yesterday she must have went down the mountain for some time to herself. I woke up both Lyra and Drew soon woke up right after. Now that Mimi was gone we had to rely on Lyra to lead us up the mountain since she reached the top before. We all made our way to the top and were shocked to what we found out. Near the entrance was a huge bolder, so we couldn't be seen the three of us hid behind the huge rock.
There on the edge of the cliff was where Alex was standing. Next to him was Amelia, the girl Alex was looking for the night before. What was shocking the most was Ash was only a few feet away from them, he couldn't even stand up straight.
"Battle me!" Ash yelled. We could tell by the tone of his voice that he wasn't himself.
"We already bet you. What point do you want to prove?" Alex yelled back.
"I was only warming up!" Ash yelled even more. But there was something wrong with his voice. As if it sounded for a second it was about to fade out.
"Get off this mountain Ash!" Alex yelled.
"How…do you know my…name?" Ash asked back. He was now breathing heavily.
Alex just stood there studded. He bit his lip like he knew the answer but didn't want to tell Ash.
Just like me.
"Tell me!" Ash yelled. Now he was acting like a fool asking and forcing people to answer his eager questions.
"Stop it Ash!" I yelled as I decided to be time to stop hiding from the bolder. Soon Lyra and Drew did the same.
"May?" Ash asked. He had a red blush on his cheeks, we all knew it wasn't because of embarrassment but because he had a high fever. "What are you doing…" Ash said before fainting onto the snow, our guess that Ash having a high fever was right. If we waited any longer Ash could get even worse if we didn't do anything. We all ran towards Ash as I held Ash in my arms while sitting down on the cold snow. Drew send out his Flygon ready to leave the mountain as Alex watched. Amelia watched but soon couldn't help it and run towards us.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked in a yelling tone of voice.
"I'm helping my older brother!" Amelia replied.
"Wha?" Lyra asked in a confused tone. We all wanted to know what was happening around us. "Who are you?" She added.
"My name is Amelia Ketchum or you might know as Mimi."
"Mimi!" We all replied in shock. "But how?"
"I will talk about this later. Right now we need to go before Ash's fever gets any higher."
"Amelia…" Alex replied but didn't seem to bother finishing his sentence.
"Big brother." Amelia replied as she turned around to face him. "When I leave this mountain, forget you ever had a little sister." She added as she got out her pokeball. "Ever since we got up here you have become as cold as the blizzards here. You're no longer the brother I once knew!" She yelled as she released her Ditto. "Ditto use transform on Flygon please."
"Dit." Soon Ditto followed Amelia's orders and transformed into a Flygon.
We all got on. Drew, Ash and I went on Drew's Flygon and Lyra and Amelia went on the other. As I held one hand onto Drew I thought that Drew could have left when Ash and I bet him in the grand festival. But why was he still here helping me?
"Drew why do you still help me?" I asked.
"I've told you before May." Drew answered back as he looked over his should to look at me. "I'm a friend; you helped me in the past. I want to return the favor."
"Thanks again Drew." I smiled as I look at Ash. I placed my hand on his forehead and his fever was still high. I was getting more worried by the second as we headed to the hospital. What if we didn't head back in time?
Ash.
He has saved me so many times, since we first met back in Littleroot town to now. Three years ago was when I visited him at the Wallace Cup. Two years after that was when we met again here in Johto, only to find out that Ash has completely forgotten who I am to him.
Five years has past all together.
Five years since I met Ash.
Five years to wait to tell him how much he means to me.
And to lose Ash now?
Would just be a waste of waiting for five years.
They say good things come to those who wait, but they never tell if you how long they will stay or if they will go away again. What is the point of waiting if they will leave you once more? Why can't they stay? Why can't a fantasy like a happy ever after exist?
"Ash…" I muttered as I held Ash closer to me. "I don't want to lose you now." I pleaded. "Please hold on. Do it for me." I brushed his face with the back of my fingers and softly kissed his lips. "Do it for us."
End of chapter.
