Chapter 25

Altomare Waterways & The Secret Garden

A Crying, Dawn unknowingly ran towards the entrance of the Water Ways with Kenny in pursuit.

Kenny: Dawn! Slow down!

Dawn: Leave me alone Kenny!

Dawn kept running while crying. Unfortunately she wasn't paying attention to a sign that said "WARNING CONSTRUCTION UNDER WAY DO NOT ENTER!: "and that's when it happened.

Kenny: DAWN LOOK OUT!

Dawn ignored Kenny's warning and then she slipped and fell.

Dawn: slip AHHHHHHHHH! crash

Dawn: Huh where am I.

Dawn fell into a open hole and now she was in the Altomare Water Ways with no way to get out fortunately for her she had a soft landing on some hay that was left behind.

Kenny: Dawn! Dawn!

Lyra ran over to Kenny

Lyra: Kenny what happened?

Kenny: Dawn fell into this hole.

Lyra: DANE ARE YOU THERE!

Dawn: Yeah I'm fine!

Lyra: Ok where going to get you out so stay put.

Dawn: Ok.

So Lyra and Kenny ran off to get some help. Ash then ran by looking for Dawn.

Ash: Dawn where are you!

All of a sudden

Ash: slip AHHHHHHHHH thud. Ash fell into a hole and was in the water ways as well only the hole he fell into was a different one and he didn't have such a soft landing. But it was a short drop so he was fine.

Ash: Ouch that hurt. Pikachu are you okay?

Pika!

Ash: Where are we? We should find away out of here come on Pikachu lets go.

So Ash and Pikachu walked through the Water Ways looking for a way out.

Meanwhile Dawn was waiting for Kenny and Lyra to come back with something like a rope.

Dawn: I wounder where they are?

gggggrrrr

Dawn: Wh What was that?

She said in fear.

Out of the shadows of the Water Ways a wild Mightyena appeared

Dawn: It's a Mightyena.

She nervously said

grrrrr

Dawn: Easy Mightyena calm down.

Dawn reached for one of her Pokemon at her waist but then realized that she had none with her.

Dawn: O no I must have been so angry at Ash that I ran out and forget my Pokemon back at the hotel.

grrrrrrr

Dawn's Thoughts: Now would be a good time to run.

So after a few seconds Dawn ran while yelling

Now to Ash.

In the distant Ash heard Dawn's screaming

AHHHHHHHHH!

Ash: Pikachu did you hear that?

PIKA

Ash: That voice sounds familiar

Pika pika chu

Then Pikachu did an impersonation of Dawn to signify that it was her.

Ash: Your right that does sound like Dawn.

So Ash and Pikachu continued walking through the tunnel.

Meanwhile Dawn was still running from an angry wild Mightyena.

Meanwhile above the Water Ways Dan had come to the hole Ash slipped and fell into.

Dan did some investigating then looked at the mild dirt around the hole and saw a foot print in the dirt around the edge of the hole.

Dan: Hmmm someone must have been here and I'll bet they slipped into this hole.

Dan then saw the mild dirt around the hole that Dawn slipped into where he saw another foot print.

Dan: 2 people were definitely here and they sure did slip and fall into these holes. I need to get down their but that drops way to big. Wait a minute I've got an idea.

Dan pulls out a Pokeball and release a Pokemon.

EXCADRILL I CHOOSE YOU!

Dan: Excadrill I want you to dig a downward tunnel right where your standing.

EXCADRILL

Excadrill digs a tunnel right into the Water Ways with Dan following

In the Water Ways.

Dan: Good job Excadrill return.

Dan then preceded to run deeper into the tunnel.

Meanwhile Dawn was still running from Mightyena.

Dawn: This thing won't stop chasing me!

Up ahead in front of Dawn was a small plank bridge where she saw her opportunity to escape from Mightyena. So she ran to the plank bridge and crossed it to get away from the wild Mightyena.

Mightyena was getting ready to jump across to get Dawn but then stopped and ran off.

Dawn: What a relief.

All of a sudden the water started to rise a little bit.

Dawn then walked down the waterways looking for a way out however the only thing she found was more trouble.

Dawn turned a corner and then ran right into some guy in a hood.

Unknown Trainer: Hey your not supposed to be here! Go Aridos!

ARI

Unknown Trainer: Aridos use string shot to tie her up.

Dawn then let out a loud scream which echoed through out the water ways. Both Ash and Dan who were in different parts of the waterways heard the scream.

Ash: DAWN! Lets go Pikachu.

Dan: That sounds like Dawn.

Both Ash and Dan picked up the pace and dashed through the waterways.

The Unknown Trainers then decided to take Dawn with them.

Dawn: LET ME GO! Where are you taking me?!

Trainer: Quiet girly since you found out about our operations we can't let you go so your coming with us.

30 minutes later someone finds Dawn and the Unknown Trainer.

HYDRO PUMP!

A blast of water hits the trainer sending him flying and into the water.

Unknown Trainer: wahhhhhhhhh!

Dawn: Huh? Dan?!

Dan: Feraligatr use Ariel Ace to free Dawn.

(Yes Feraligatr can learn Ariel Ace. Just use the TM Ariel Ace)

Feraligatr frees Dawn from Aridos's web.

After the trainer submerges he then says,

Trainer: grrr not you again go Golem!

Dan: Swampert I choose you!

Trainer: ARIDOS USE SLUGE BOMB, GOLEM USE HYPER BEAM!

Dan: Both of you dodge.

GATR!

SWAMP!

Dan: Now Feraligatr use Ariel Ace on Aridos and Swampert use Dynamicpunch on Golem.

Feraligatr rushed with incredible speed towards Aridos and ran right into it

Swampert hurled it's fist at Golem and made direct impact with it

Both Pokemon were knocked out instantly.

Trainer: Return. I WON'T FORGET THIS! He said while running away from them.

Dan: Great job guys. Dawn are you okay?

Dawn: Yeah thanks. How did you find me?

Dan: I could her your scream all the way through the waterways.

Dawn: Who was that guy?

Dan: He's a Pokemon hunter. Him and his group are looking for a rare Pokemon to put on the Pokemon black market. Look we can't stay here we need to get out of here.

Dawn: Why what's up?

Dan: This place is going to fill to the top with water in a few hours. However someone else fell down here to I think it was Ash and I'll bet he came here looking for you.

Dawn: Yeah well he can stop while he's behind. She said like a little brat.

Dan: Never mind that lets go.

So Dan and Dawn ran deeper into the tunnel looking for Ash when all of a sudden water flooded the hall that Dan and Dawn were in.

Dan submerged looking for Dawn.

Dan: Dawn, Dawn where are you?!

Dawn: Over here. cough, cough

Dan: She's drowning! FERALIGATR GO AND HELP DAWN!

Feraligatr obediently obeyed and rushed to save Dawn from drowning.

The current swept both of them away and then they both ended up going down different tunnels of the waterways. Swampert was with Dan and Feraligatr was with Dawn.

Dan ended up heading towards a water fall that was about 30 feet above ground level, left the waterways and led straight to the ocean.

Dan: A WATERFALL!? YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!

Dan fell off the waterfall but managed to grab on to a lose steel poll before completely falling off the waterfall. Swampert rushed to save it's trainer.

Dan: Darn it I'm slipping.

Swampert was still trying to catch up to Dan while he held on with every last bit of strength he had.

Dan: I'm slipping.

SNAP went the poll

Dan: ahhhhhhhhh. huh

SWAM PERT

Dan: Swampert! You made it!

Swampert pulled Dan up to safety.

Dan: That was close great job Swampert. Come on we got to find Dawn before the current rises to the 2nd floor.

Dan and Swampert made their way to the 2nd floor of the waterways.

Meanwhile Dawn was out cold and Feraligatr just managed to save her from drowning. Dawn was lying on Feraligatr's back when Feraligatr stopped on the 2nd floor and found some solid ground where he laid Dawn down then rested.

Ash was on the second floor and not to far from Dawn.

Ash turned a corner where he saw Dawn lying motionless on the ground next to Feraligatr.

PIKA!

Ash: DAWN! Ash ran over to Dawn.

Ash: Dawn, Dawn, are you okay!? She still wasn't speaking. So Ash put his ear to her to see if he could hear anything.

Ash: She's not breathing!

Ash then took both hands and did CPR.

(Their was no kissing involved in the CPR)

Dawn finally moved and cough out water and got some air back.

Ash: DAWN!

Ash was so relieved that he wrapped his arms around Dawn.

Dawn was blushing so much red that she was warmed up in no time. But she was also happy that Ash cared and then she shoved him aside.

Ash: Hey what was that for?

Once Feraligatr saw Ash it got right in Ash's face and started to growl.

Ash: Easy Feraligatr

Feraligatr was determined to protect Dawn at all cost.

PIKA, PIKA!

Dawn: You got a "cough" lot of nerve. Acting like you care about me. She angrily said.

Ash: Dawn your my friend why wouldn't I care about you.

Dawn: Why don't you go back to your other girlfriend wherever she is.

Ash: Dawn that was not my girlfriend. It wasn't like that.

Dawn: Really then what was it like? She slowly said while getting up.

Before Ash could speak a voice was heard not to far from them.

Hey guys!

Dan came running.

Ash: Dan what are you doing here?

Dan: I was looking for you guys, Dawn are you okay?

Dawn: Yeah I'm fine.

Dan: We got to get out of here before the Water Ways fill up.

Dan then saw the tension between Ash and Dawn.

Dan: Is something wrong with you two?

Dawn: Never mind lets go. She said with some attitude.

Dan: Great job Feraligatr take a nice rest. Dan returned Feraligatr to it's Pokeball.

After that everybody starting running looking for an exit.

Ash: All the ways are blocked by blast doors.

Dan: Yeah those giant blast doors shut to prevent overflow into the city.

Dawn: Hey guys look over here.

Ash and Dan ran to see Dawn.

Dan: Hey its two water chariots and I got 2 water Pokemon. Wait there are 3 of us and 2 water chariots... 3 + 2 = 5 no that's not the right equation I think it was

Ash, Dawn and Pikachu: ?

Dan: Right 1 of use is going to have to share. Ha I must be a genius. hahahaha

Dawn's Thoughts: Wow

Ash's Thoughts: It took him this long to figure that out?

Dan: Alright who's sharing?

Dawn: I'll share with Dan.

Ash: !

Dan pushed Dawn toward Ash

Dan: Yeah that's what you think, your sharing with Ash.

Dawn: ?!

Dan: I don't like sharing my space and whatever problem you 2 are having sharing a water chariot might help you guys out.

Dawn: But

Dan: Why are we standing here we need to move.

Dan picked up a chariot and threw it in the water then he got the other one and did the same.

Dan: Come on out Swampert and Feraligatr!

Both Pokemon were released from their Pokeball and then they both jumped into the water and grabbed the line and were ready to pull the chariots.

Dan jumped on to his water chariot with Feraligatr ready to pull.

Dan: What are you two waiting for hurry up!

Dawn: How are we supposed to share one of these things it only fits one person!

Dan: That's easy. Have Ash stand in the middle so he doesn't fall off and then stand next to him and hold on to him.

Dawn: NO WAY!

"roar"

Everybody looked behind them.

Ash: What was that?

Dan: That's the water and it sounds like one of the other water pipes is releasing water. A torrent of water is going to be here any minute you two better get over whatever problem your having and share the chariot or I'm leaving without you.

So Ash & Dawn sucked it up. Ash got on the chariot first and grabbed the line after that Dawn stepped on to the chariot and put her arms around Ash's chest.

Ash: Hold on tight Dawn

Dawn: Don't get the wrong idea Ash I'm still mad at you.

Dan: Lets go.

So the chariots rushed forward through the tunnels of the water ways.

Dawn: Which ways is the exit.

Dan: I have no clue

Ash & Dawn: YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING!

All of a sudden a giant wave of water passed the corner behind them and everybody turned their head around.

Dawn: That wave! It's gaining!

Dan: FASTER FERALIGATR AND SWAMPERT!

So as the wave was approaching fast the trio turned a corner and moved through a tunnel but the wave was so big more spilled into the tunnel all of a sudden the trio came to a dead end.

Dawn: O no were not gong to make it!

and right as the water was getting ready to close in a giant geyser instantly springed Ash, Dawn, Dan, Pikachu, Feraligatr and Swampert through an opening in the ceiling

Everybody: WOAH!

the geyser kept going and then everybody landed on solid ground

"crash"

Ash: Ow that hurt

Dan: Is everybody okay.

Dawn: Yeah, but where are we?

Ash got up and then

Ash: Wait a minute this place it looks so familiar.

After that the wind blew and the sound of noise chandlers could be heard all over.

Ash looked around and saw a girl on a swing unfortunately Dawn saw her to

Dawn: Their's your girlfriend Ash why don't you go say hi. She angrily said while turning around.

Ash: She is not my girlfriend Dawn!

Bianca then saw Ash and ran over to him and was happy to see him.

Dawn: Humph

Dan: ?

Ash: Are you the real Bianca or not?

Then Bianca stood back and like that transformed back into Latias right before everybody's eyes

Dawn: !

Dan: !?

Dawn: She's a Pokemon!

Dan: Forget that is that the legendary Latias?!

Ash: Yes.

Dan: Ash why aren't you as surprised as us?

Ash: This place that were in is called the Secret Garden and it's where Latias and her trainer live.

Dawn: So that girl you were with was really Latias.

Ash: I still don't know. Latias was that you earlier today?

Latias nodded and then started rubbing its head in Ash's face.

Dawn: Ash do you know this Latias?

Ash: Yeah

Dan: That's so cool.

Then the real Bianca came by with with her grandfather a fat guy with a beard, blue overalls and a red shirt under the overall.

Bianca: Whats going on here?

Ash: Hey guys sorry for dropping in unexpectedly.

Bianca: Ash? Is that you?

Ash: Yep

Bianca: Latias is that where you have been all this time, hanging out with Ash?

LA

Lorenzo: Well, now we know why Latias has been so happy it's because Ash was back.

Bianca: Who's this your girlfriend?

Dan: Hahahaha! Even she thinks you guys are a couple and she hasn't even met Dawn yet.

WHAM!

Ash and Dawn both hit Dan

and he fell on his back to the ground then got up and said,

Dan: That was uncalled for.

Dawn: No it's not like that at all, really. She said with a awkward smile.

Meanwhile on the far side of the garden near another water fountain 5 people in hoods came up from the fountain unknowning to the others.

Pokemon Hunter 1: There's the Pokemon we have been looking for.

Pointing at Latias.

Pokemon Hunter 2: Go Metang! Use Take Down on that Latias.

METANG!

Out of nowhere Metang rams right into Latias knocking it out and stunning it.

Ash: Latias!

Dawn: Where did that Metang come from!?

Dan: Look, over there!

The sneak attack was then followed up with a net that captured Latias then the 4 trainers came over.

Ash: Who are you and what are you doing with Latias?!

Pokemon Hunter 3: Were taking Latias and their is nothing you can do about it.

Dan: GO EXCADRILL! Use Slash!

Pokemon Hunter 2: Metang use Meteor Mash to keep Exadrill away.

WHAM! Meteor MAsh hit its mark and Excadrill was sent flying backwards.

Pokemon Hunter 4: Like we said there is nothing you can do.

Ash: Go Pikachu! Your not getting out of this garden until you hand over Latias!

Dan: That's for sure.

Excadrill then hops to its feet and stands alongside Pikachu.

Pokemon Hunter 1: If it's a battle you want then you got it. GO ARIDOS! Release your Pokemon guys.

Pokemon Hunter 2: Metang and I are ready. He says with a grin.

Pokemon Hunter 3: Go Crobat

Pokemon Hunter 4: Go Golem

Ash: 4 against 2 isn't fair.

Dan: Forget that they don't care.

Dan's Thoughts: I can't use Feraligatr or Swampert because their to tired from everything that has happened in the Water Ways.

Dan: Excadrill it's up to you and Pikachu

EXCA

PIKA

Pokemon Hunter 1: Whats the matter Dan your Feraligatr and Swampert to tired out? I'll bet they are after having to go through the Water Ways. Hahahaha!

Dawn reached for one of her Pokemon and then she realized,

Dawn: O no I left my Pokemon back at the hotel!

So as Ash and Dan prepare to battle a mysterious group of Pokemon Hunters that has captured Latias and has our heroes out numbered what will be the fate of Latias and what is this teams objective. Will our heroes save Latias or will this group succeed in their evil plans. Stay tuned.

Hey guys I know It has been a while since I posted up another chapter, I've been a bit busy these days and a bit lazy during my free time, sorry about that.

I also got Pokemon Black 2 earlier and it's awesome. I caught a Rilou and it evolved into Lucario the next day. If any one is wondering, you can find Rilou near Floccesy Ranch. Very earlier on in the game.

Tip: If you see Rilou catch it.

I don't really like a lot of the Unova Pokemon but some are cool. I like Black 2 because they brought back a lot of classic Pokemon like Eevee etc. You can actually catch wild Eevee in the game.

But thats not important.

What is important is when the next chapters will be here. I want to make a Thanksgiving and Christmas chapter so I will NOT be releasing chapters until late November. I need time to make more chapters. So that way I can release them on a weekly basis.

So once late November comes their will be new chapters. I might however post 1 chapter a bit earlier.

By the way I really appreciate everyone's support for A&D Adventures I have worked so hard on this story and It's great to hear such positive feedback. So since I do not want to keep you all in a lot of suspense that's why I'm telling you all when you can expect new chapters. Better to know when the chapters are coming then to wonder if they will ever come again.

Review and Comment. Don't forget to tell me what you all think about Pokemon Trainer Dan. He has more to do with this story then you think.

Later
