Ash awoke to the calling of Misty's voice. He went to open his eyes but was greeted by a torchlight right in his face, so he quickly shut them again. He shook his head for a moment.
^Something doesn't feel right^ he thought he he raised his hand up to block the light.
"Ash, you okay?" Misty asked as she leant forward a little along with the torch.
"I'll be allot better if you get that torch out of my face" he snapped slightly.
"Hmph!" Misty complained as she got up and moved the torch.
"Come on Ash" Tracy comented as he helped Ash to his feet. Ash tried to stand but his legs wouldn't hold him.
"Ash? What happened?" Misty questioned as she got under his other arm and helped him allong. Ash thought for a moment,
"I can't remeber properly" he stated quietly. Pikachu sat on one of the steps and watched them walk allong. SOmething up by the roof caught his attention. He noticed a pair of bright violet eyes focused the others.
"Pika!" he called as he sprung to his feet and ran to the others. The eyes watched him and reacted to his movement by letting out a tremendous, earpiercing scream. All three trainers yelped and covered thier ears, trying to block out the noise. Ash fell to his knees since his support had suddenly let go.
"Ash!" Misty bent down to him, "You alright?" Ash looked up to her but seemed to be focused on something behind her. Misty watched as Ash's expression turned to horror.
"DUCK!" he yelled as he threw himself onto misty to get her down, Tracy and Pikachu dropped just as a gush of wind seemed to fly over them. Ash looked up and saw the eyes were gone.
"Let's get out of here!" called Tracy as he helped Ash up and started out of the cave. Then the scream came again and a gush of wind followed.
"It's attacking us!" Ash called as he turned and grabbed a Pokeball, "Bulbasaur! I choose you!" he called as he threw the ball at the ground.
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur answered back.
"Bulbasaur, Razor leaf!" Ash called. Bulbasaur complied by letting loose a flock of razor sharp leaves at he flying affendor. It seemed to simply fly threw them. Bulbasaur got a growl for a reply allong with a different attack. Bulbasaur was suddenly bolting around the room getting chased by a fire blast attack.
"Bulbasaur, return!" Ash cursed as he tryed to find a different Pokemon to use.
"Pika!" Pikachu called as he stood infront of Ash. The winged offender was now hovering a few metres away from them.
"Pikachu! Thunder bolt attack!" Ash called.
"Pika.." Pikachu charged up his attack. The winged offender seemed to chuckle. "CHU!" A bright yellow thunderbolt came from the little electric pokemon and straight into the offender. It just stood there. Pikachu stopped the attack as he saw it was doing nothing to the offender.
"Damn! Pikachu, quick attack!" Ash called. Pikachu sprinted towards the offender but it simply evaded the attack by taking flight. It headed towards Pikachu but by-passed him. Instead, it scooped up Ash and flew out the exit of the huge room.
"Ash!" Tracy and Misty called in unisen as they all sprinted after the runaway.
Ah man!" Ash cursed. His eyes were stinging as he was being carried away. He couldn't open them.
"Lem'me go!" he yelled.
*No need to yell* A strange female voice replied.
"What the!"
*No need to talk either* it added.
"What! what do you mean!"
*I shall explain in a moment* it replied as it neared the exit of the cave. Suddenly something wooshed past the two with a
"Hiah!" followed.
"Staryou!" Ash cheered as he recognised the noise it made. The winged one simply growled.
*Why do you keep attacking me?* the voice asked.
"Attacking you? You mean your that winged thing?" Ash added.
*Winged thing? excuse me, but I think you reffer to me as a Pokemon* it stated as it evaded another of staryou's attacks.
"Pokemon?" Ash added as he tryed to open his eyes to see it. But the pain wouldn't allow this, "Where are you takeing me?" he asked.
*Somewhere we can talk iin peace* it added as it flew threw the exit and up into the night sky.
