Chapter 28: Within the Darkness
He was breathing hard. He was seeing nothing, but darkness. He realized his eyes were closed and began to barely open, yet he felt like he was losing his breath. All he could barely see is a silhouette of a person. The person was shaking and was sobbing.
"I am so sorry Ash." A feminine voice whispered.
He tried to say something, anything important. However, his breathing made it difficult and then he felt his eyes become heavy and then it blacked out.
Unknown location
He opened his eyes and found a brown colored ceiling. He got up and felt body aching from his bizarre slumber. He looked around and found a strange room that he doesn't recognize. He then took out his Pokedex and began to contact Professor Oak.
The line was dead.
He found it odd and he began to continue to try to make any contact, nothing. He tried to use his GPS, and nothing occurred. He tried his map system, he was in an unknown location. He tried his badges and found it odd.
Eight Badges.
He couldn't remember how he got all eight of them. He shrugged it off and checked his Pokedex count.
649.
"Impossible." He said to himself. How did he caught all of those Pokemon. He tried to remember how he did it. He tried to remember, but it came out blank strangely. He then checked his Pokemon, he had a six full team. He took out all of his Pokemon. He raised his eyebrow. Five Unown spiraling around him for a short while as they tried to move around to make some lettering. Once it stopped right in front of him, it said 'LEAVE'.
He felt a bit unnerved with what the message said. He then looked at his last Pokemon and frowned. A Pikachu who looked hurt. Parts of his body had open wounds and gave a weak "Chaah."
He picked him up and went around to find a way out. He kept looking for anything, but only found a small opening hole. He went in and it began to become darker and darker. He kept going more until, he felt the ground.
It was a pitch black. He couldn't' see anything. Suddenly, his Pikachu began to glow and gave a harsh flash. He closed his eyes from the flash. Once that was over, he nearly dropped Pikachu in disbelief in the room. It was blood red everywhere, from the ceiling to the floor. Everywhere.
His stomach began to clench and felt sick to the stomach and those Unowns followed him. Giving him that menacing look. He kept moving at the only direction that he can move: forward. He kept walking for some time, when the place light began to dim down, slowly. Overtime, it dimmed more until it was nearly pitch black. He noticed a strange sign that was their. He checked it out. It simply said "Turn Back Now?"
He raised his eyebrow again. He found it disturbing sign as the Unowns swirled around him. He simply said "Yes." Then he felt a teleport and felt something in his arms being pulled. Then he screamed in pain as if it were ripped up. He then felt numb from his arms and took a number of breath, he looked around and noticed he was in a whole. He tried to climb out, but realized what happened to his arms.
"What happened to my arms?" Ash thought.
He noticed the Unowns once more and they were shaped differently. They swirled for a moment and then they stood right in front of Ash. It messaged "HEDIED".
Ash was in disbelief. Pikachu is dead. He began to cry. Cry for the Pokemon's death, cry for his missing arms. Then he felt another teleport.
He was in a red room, and yet, he couldn't walk. He looked down and realized his legs is gone. He pondered what was going on. Then the Unowns returned and swirled for a brief moment. Then it stopped and another message "DYING". He was hyperventilate and knew he had to move forward somehow. He was able to, as he was hovering over. He looked around the red room, and found nothing but a hallway. He then saw his mother and father, yet they lack color. He tried talking to them, yet nothing came out of his mouth. He tried talking to them, but nothing. He tried touching them, and when he did it felt cold. He cried, unknowingly blood of tears were coming out of his eyes. He wanted to leave, go home, wherever it was. He moved on, and found a trainer who looked so much like him, but was transparent, with only an outline of his appearance.
He threw his Pokeball and out came a Pikachu, yet sad looking. He noticed a Pokeball is thrown and out came a Celebi. He wanted to throw up, this Celebi was missing an eye, an arm, and a leg. It was a shiny one, but brutalized from some unknown purpose. He saw how the fight went on.
Pikachu began with Curse. It did something, but it was insignificant to Celebi.
Celebi used Perish Song. Ash in some thought knew that the Pokemon was going to take out both of each other.
Then Pikachu did Flail, no damage was done
Another note sang, getting near the end.
Then Pikachu did Frustration and was a hurt greatly that Celebi wont be able to survive another hit.
Ash was shocked when Celebi did Split Pain. He pondered how it was possible, then again he wasn't sure about everything that has occurred to him. He heard another note, but hoped it will be over.
Pikachu did Mean Look, and it did nothing. He felt sorry for him. Then he heard the last note, in relief that it is over. However another shock occurred for him, as Pikachu did Destiny Bond. He heard an agonizing cry as Celebi was at the ground, not moving. Pikachu did also.
Pokemon died right in front of his eyes from that battle. Then he looked at the trainer, and his eyes widen. He was missing his head and he disappeared. Suddenly he felt another pull.
He looked around and he was at his room. His poster of the Pokemon competition to his alarm clock. He was home, but felt something was off. The window showed nothing on the outside. The Unowns make their presence in a sinister look, formed the letters "NOMORE". He also felt as if he was lacking something. He moved on toward the door, looking for someone. And he found nobody.
No one was home, just everything was in its place. He began to cry, as he can't remember who lived at the house. It was losing its purpose as his memories were fading away. He needed to keep his sanity left. He made the risk to leave the house.
He went through the wall and was able to see nothing but darkness. He kept going as slowly his teenage memories were disappearing. He can't remember how much he kept going nor how he ended up where he was. He then saw a bit of light and a figure. As he approached more, his childhood memory was disappearing. He was closer and closer.
He then saw it was himself, but his eyes were lacking any life. He then said "Goodbye….forever."
He disappeared and the last bastion of his memories are gone.
He was then in a graveyard. He noticed a tombstone that felt a connection to it. He reached it and it was a tombstone with no name. A picture of himself was their.
The Unowns made their last appearance that was given him what his thoughts were "IMDEAD".
He didn't know who he was, and he was dead. No one will remember him, nor know what he has done. Forgotten, like everyone else.
It was a goodbye for himself…
"Don't give up until the end." A young girl's voice said
He looked around where it came from and as he did found it. A young girl with honey blonde hair, blue eyes and a confident smile was given toward him.
"Never give up." She said
"Who are you?" The young man said
"I'm Serena, you're best friend. Remember me?"
He had a blank look.
"Remember what you promised to me? You will be the very best and find me."
A strange memory of him helping the girl from the ground getting up. Saying the words "Never give up until the end." Echoed in his head.
"Please, come back to me. Please remember."
The young man was trying to focus who he was, but it felt like something was blocking him.
"Say your name."
He is trying to remember hard, but it was difficult. Suddenly a young man with tan skin, closed eyes, and a confident smile was their.
"You can do it!" He said cheerfully
A name was slowly etching in his mind. Slowly his form was coming. A girl with red hair, cerulean eyes, and again a confident smile was their.
"We're with you!"
More people were appearing in his mind. A name finally came to him and said "My name is Ash Ketchum. I am a Pokemon Trainer. I am to be the best, like no one ever was."
Suddenly he felt strong, confident, and hopeful. He felt that presence trying to squish him and his identity. He began to fight back with his will, and encouragement was heard from these people and he pushed on and on. He finally felt close and he gave a strong push that he pushed it out of it.
To be continue….
