Chapter 3 - Freedom
~
I gazed at the infinitely immense building which was Mewthree's fortress. "ATTACK!" I yelled as we rushed towards it.
~
It was a massacre, the rebels against Mewthree's soldiers. It was a battle that needed to be fought. "I'm going in." I said nodding to Misty. She nodded at me and I hopped on Pidgeot. I flew over the battle to the top of the fortress. Looking around, I saw an air duct leading to the rock carved dungeon. About a good 100 foot drop. "Life can't get much better!" I yelled jumping down it. I landed safely thanks to the training of our original leader, Zach. I'm not sure if he's alive or not. He was taken by Mewthree a couple years ago. He's dead either way. I don't think anyone can survive her torture without losing something. So basically, he's dead. I ran through the endless corridors of her fortress once again to come upon a cell. Two people inside. "Who's there?" a sweet kind voice asked. "Ash Ketchum, leader of the rebels." I said as I pried the cell bars open. "Ash?" the woman asked, "My god it's really you." My mom. It was my mom. "Who are you?" I asked looking at the shadowy figure next to her. "Don't you remember me Ash?" the man said, "It's me Zach. I'm 2nd in command of Mewthree's forces. Ever wonder how they found you. Knew your next move? Well, I'm the reason. I played as a prisoner until you came Ash. I see my training paid off." "You asshole." I cried attacking him, "You know how many people have died because of you, they either gave their life, or died at your hand!" He threw me into the stone wall. Blood spewed out of my mouth as I collapsed on the floor from the blow. Suddenly there was a KLUNK! and Zach fell to the ground. My mom stood behind him holding a stone in her hand. She ran over to me after throwing the rock to the ground. "You okay Ash?" she asked. I nodded somewhat weakly. She helped me up and we walked to where I fell down. Grabbing a little invention I got from Rick *The Pokémon Trading Card Game* I pointed it upwards. "Hold on." I said as my mom hugged me tight. I fired and a grappling hook fired up and latched on. I then pressed another button and it pulled us up. The battle was still going stronger than ever. Brock was off to the side hidden from all but my mother and me. Misty was with him. But she was laying on the ground with an arrow in her side. "Mom, get to the base, you know the way." I said, "Adios!" I jumped off the top of the fortress and landed on someone from Mewthree's army, then bent low to the ground and crawled to Misty. "Wartortle, soap 'n suds!" I said. After I had gently pulled out the arrow Wartortle cleansed the wound. "Charizard, suture it." I said. Charizard blew a VERY gentle flame on the wound suturing it, preventing it from becoming infected. I hopped on Charizard with Misty and Brock. "RETREAT!" I cried to the rebels. I overheard Mewthree stopping her army from going after us. She evil, not dishonorable…
Weeks Later
"What's the body count, how many soldiers did we lose in the battle?" I asked. "Exactly 512." the man said.
"Freed?"
"452."
"Dammit!" I yelled slamming my fist onto my leg. The battle was all my own fault, my own pride was there. If I hadn't gone to save my mother no one would've died. Suddenly our troops sent to check on Pewter rushed in. "Brock they're here!" I yelled. They went to check on families in Pewter, seeing if anyone was left alive. "So?" I asked as Brock ran in. "I'm sorry sir, no survivors, Pewter City, has been completely obliterated." the leader of the troops said. "No." Brock said, "That's not true, and I'm going to prove it. My family are survivors! They lived through it! I know it!" With that he ran out of our hideout towards Pewter. "Aw shit." I said, "Richie…If we're not back in a week, you know what to do." I looked over at Misty who was holding Chris. "I'll be back." I said, "I promise." With that I jumped up and ran after Brock.
3 Days Later
"Brock." I said kneeling over a dead body on the streets of the ruined Pewter City, "This man was shot recently, meaning, our troops…are traitors!" "Ash, we'll get them in a sec, help me with this block of concrete!" he called over to me. I walked over to him. Underneath the concrete was Jimmy. I helped him lift it off and we pushed it to the side. "The others." Jimmy said coughing up blood, "They made it to…Cel-a..don…" His eyes slowly rolled back in his head as his body fell limp. "JIMMY!" Brock screamed, "NO!" "C'mon Brock, we're going to Celadon."
3 Days Later
"Now lets go, we have 1 day before we're announced dead." I said. We started our journey quickly to our hideout after finding his other brothers and sisters.
1 Day Later
We were at the hideout. But no one was there except for Richie. I ran over to him. "Ash!" he cried. "Richie, where are the other?" I asked. "I had to send them underground." Richie said, "We have a few spies in our group. They told Mewthree where we were. I stayed and fought. I'm gonna die Ash. We're all gonna die." "No, I'm not gonna let that happen." I said as I picked up Richie. He had a broken leg and couldn't walk. Brock, Richie, and I walked down to our underground hideaway.
5 Hours Later
I wiped the sweat from my brow. "I have an announcement to make!" I yelled, "I am going to go on a mission, to find the 5 Legendary Birds. Anyone willing to come with me can. We may have a chance with Mew and their strength put together." "I'll go." Mia said. "I'm going." James stated. "You're not leaving me out!" Brock laughed. "I'll go." Jessie said. "We leave at 900 hours. Be ready, my friends." I said looking down upon them.
