(continued)
Charizard swooped into the original campsite a few hours later, looking full of itself as usual. Misty and Pikachu had just finished gathering up the rest of the supplies and were about to take them to the new camp it arrived. Misty let out a small, inarticulate sound of rage when she saw it. "Just where the hell have you been!?" She shouted at the suprised dragon pokemon, dropping the packs and stomping towrd it.
Charizard pulled back in shock, raising its wings defensivly. Just what the heck was going on? The confused pokemon turned toward Pikachu, looking for an explanation and was even more surprised by what it saw. Pikachu was furious. Pikachu was never furious....what was going on? First the little human girl charges at me like she wants to battle.....now Pikachu looks like it'd like to electricute me. Charizard tilted its head questioningly and asked, "Zard.....charizard char chari?" (Pikachu....whats going on here?)
"Chu pikachu pi Pikapi kachu pi pika!?" (Why did you leave Ash alone with a Rhyhorn!?) Pikachu demanded, sparks flying.
"Char? Zard charizard char. Zard." (What? There wasn't any Rhyhorn. Honest.) Charizard replied, clearly confused.
"Pikachu! Pika kachu Pikapi pikachu chu pi kachu pika pikachu pi pika?" (What! You're saying that when Ash let you out it wasn't to battle a Rhyhorn?) Pikachu asked, now just as confused as Charizard.
"Char, charizard zard rizard char Charizar zard charizard....char charizard zard char char!" (Of course not, I would never leave Ash alone with a Rhyhorn....the kid may be annoying, but I don't want him dead for goodness sake!)
During this exchange Misty stood and waited, fuming. Oh what are they saying? Why can't pokemon speak english? That Meowth of Team Rockets' can. If he can so can Pikachu darn it. I hate waiting. Finally she decided to not wait anymore. "What are you two saying? Charizard I hope you have some excuse for leaving Ash like that....but even if you did, no excuse is good enough!" She shouted, not noticing the rather puzzled looks on both the pokemon's faces.
Charizard was astonished at Misty's outburst. She was so angry! She'd never actually been angry at me before, it thought, annoyed maybe...but never angry.She is usually more annoyed with Ash than me when I act up. Whats happened? "Charizard....char zard?" (Pikachu...whats happened?) It asked, concerned, if the girl was this angry...it must be bad...
"Pikapi....Pikapi chu kachu pi. Pi.......pikachu" (Ash......Ash is hurt really bad. He...might die.) The yellow pokemon said softly. It looked up at Charizard with tears in its eyes. "Kachu pika chu Pikapi chu pikachu. Pikachu pi." (Tell me you didn't leave Ash. Tell the truth.)
"Char! Charizard char zard. Chari charizard." (No! I wouldn't do that. I promise.) It replied vehimetly. "Izard Charizar?" (Where's Ash?)
Pikachu looked at Charizard searchingly. Was it telling the truth? Pikachu wasn't sure...it thought so...but...then what had happened? Pikachu looked into Charizard's eyes and saw concern...worry. Those emotions were so strong in the electric mouse that it had to fight for a moment to control them. Finally, it made a decision. "Pikachu." (Follow me) It said, turning and heading toward the new camp...and Ash.
Charizard hesitated a moment, glancing at Misty, and then followed Pikachu. It tried to ignore Misty's outraged demand that it come back right this minute. As it followed along, it became aware of a coppery sweet smell. A familiar smell...horribly familliar. It was the smell of blood, a scent the fire type knew well. It had recently hunted so the memory of the smell was especially fresh. What made it so horrible though...was that it was Ash's blood. The smell was so strong...a great deal of blood must have spelt. Charizard rumbled worridly as it and Pikachu approached the camp and the source of the smell....just what would it see? It wasn't sure it wanted to know. Charizard had to fight the impulse to fly away. To not see the awful sight that it knew was waiting for it.
Misty followed the two pokemon silently, carrying the packs. She didn't understand what was going on. Why was Pikachu taking Charizard to see Ash. She was sure that was what was happening..but why? She didn't want Charizard anywhere near Ash. She wondered again what the two had said to each other.
To be continued...
Its short...I know...but I've been busy. Sorry. I'll write more as soon as I can.
