Diamond started to laugh. Ash looked at the others and yelled, "Run!" They all turned around and started to run. Diamond yelled, "Oh no you don't!" and started to run after them. Ash ran to Maylene's side. He asked, "Do you know about this?" Maylene nodded. She looked back. Diamond was getting closer. She looked back at Ash and said, "Everyone in town is in their homes, so they should be fine." Gary pulled out his poke ball and said, "I think Umbreon can talk to her. Umbreon come on out and talk to Diamond!" Ash yelled, "Gary, no!" But it was too late. Umbreon came out and tried to talk to Diamond. She kept to them. Ash looked at Gary and yelled, "Return him, now! She'll kill him!" Gary hurried and looked at Umbreon. Diamond was about to attack. He quickly yelled, "Umbreon return!" Umbreon barely made it inside without being hurt. Diamond looked at him and started to run. The gang kept running, but Gary tripped on a rock. Diamond was getting closer. Ash saw him and ran in front of him. He looked at Gary and said, "Go! Tell the guys I'll hold her off!" Gary nodded his head, got up, and ran. Ash looked at Pikachu and said, "Go with them." Pikachu shook his head. Ash yelled, "Please Pikachu. Go protect the others. For me." Pikachu didn't want to go, but listened. Ash stood there. He thought: Ok, I'm ready. Maybe she'll realize it's me. He heard Diamond cry out, "It's useless, Ash. Diamond isn't in control. I am!" Ash's eyes widened. He started to slowly back up. He then turned around and ran. Diamond was getting closer. She then was right behind him. She then yelled, "Shadow claw!" Ash turned around to see her hand turn black. He tried to run faster, but was too late. Diamond stabbed him right in the back. Ash stopped. He coughed up blood. Dawn noticed and yelled, "Ash!" She started to run back. Ash fell to his knees, Diamond's hand still in his back. The gang then started to run to them. Maylene yelled, "Lucario, hurry and get Baby and the collar. Quickly!" Lucario said, "Yes ma'am." and disappeared. Diamond finally pulled out her hand. She looked at it. Blood was covering her hand. Her head then shot out great pain. Ash turned around and looked at her. Tears were filling her eyes. She was crying, "No! No, I didn't….Ash…no…..you killed him! Damn it!" Her eyes then turned to normal and teeth as well. She fell her knees go numb. She fell to the ground. She crawled to Ash. He was losing blood, and quickly. He looked at her. He moved to her and lied on her lap. Diamond started to cry. She was yelling, "No….Ash please don't die." She closed her eyes as the tears fell. She then felt something warm brush her cheeks. She looked to see Ash's hand on her cheek. She said, "It's my fault. I killed you. Ash…please don't die!" Diamond fell to his chest. He heard her sob. He rubbed her back and said, "Diamond, it's going to be ok." But he knew he was going to die. She looked at him and said, "I know you're just saying that. I murdered you. It's my fault. I KILLED YOU!!!" She was crying. Crying more than she had ever cried before. The gang then made it to her. Brock bent down to him, but Diamond yelled, "Don't touch him, or death will on your hands too." Diamond looked back at Ash. His breathing was getting lower. He was about to die. Diamond held onto him, saying, "I'll never let go. I won't, I just won't. I won't let you go." Brock shed tears, Maylene had her head in her hand, sobs could be heard, Dawn was crying in Gary's chest, and Gary was crying into Dawn's hair. Pikachu was crying and even Jake was. Ash weakly said, "Diamond, I will always love you. I…" He didn't get to finish. Diamond looked at him. He wasn't breathing. Ash……..was dead.
I'm sorry, but I am totally bursting out in tears. I'm serious. I will write the next chapter. I promise his funeral is going to be nice. Unless……
