Chapter 8: The Twerps Arive

"There it is!!" Ash pointed to the mansion up on the hill.

Brock took out his binoculars. "You sure that's it?"

"Positive! That's where the Pokemon show is going on right now!"

Misty shivered. "It's so cold out here, and dark." She was wearing the same pink jacket she had on in the movie Revelation: Lugia/The Power of One.

Ash laughed. "Don't worry, Misty! This will be great! I've been waiting for this for a long time..."

"Pika!" Pikachu laughed.

"Toge prrrrrrriiiiii!!!" And Togepi trilled.

"Alright! You ready? Let's go!" Ash led them to the mansion. He knocked on the door. "Hello? Is anyone in there? Can you let us in? Please!"

No one answered.

"Hello!!?" He banged on the door, and sighed. He knocked again, and the door creaked open. Everyone gasped. "Uh...shall we go in?" Ash asked nervously.

They all nodded.

They walked inside slowly. "Where is everyone? Where's all the Pokemon?" Misty asked.

The booths and benches were deserted, and there weren't any Pokemon in the cages. (No, they didn't die, they all ran away. I'm not that mean...I'm not about to ruin this story with bloody dead bodies and poor, innocent pokemon getting killed! *shiver*)

Ash looked around. "Ok, I don't see anything here, maybe it's all upstairs.."

"Maybe it's over.." Misty said.

"Or maybe...They all ran away because they saw...ZOMBIES!"

"Brock, that's crazy!" Misty told him.

"No...there's..some...right...there.....heh heh.." They turned around to see, yes, ZOMBIES!

They all screamed and ran up the steps. "Where do we go?"

Brock saw a door. "There! Run in there!"

They opened the door, slammed it, and locked it. They sank down. "Phew! That was close!"

Misty shivered. "What were they? Were they REAL zombies?"

"'Fraid so, that's what it looked like.." Ash said. He sighed. "Hoo boy...this isn't what I expected...."

((Meanwhile))

Jessie was in the room she was locked in. She sat on the bed, humming The Eboshi Tatara Song from Mononoke Hime. The tune of it gave her hope, and sounded so sweet without the words even. It reminded her of one of those old slave songs they use to sing so they would get hope for the future. She looked out the window, and still no sign of James. She started crying and bowed her head. She really missed him, and was scared. Scared of leaving the earth, scared of what Bloody was gonna do to her, and scared of what he would do to James. He was a madman from what she could tell.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and there in the doorway stood Bloody. He looked angry. "He has arrived..."

"Who?"

He smiled. "That man..."

"James...You mean James!"

"I didn't want anyone to know about this...whoever knows will die!"

She glared at him, and then, did a very stupid thing. She swung her hand at him and slapped his face. He glared at her with one eye open, and then held out his hand, blasting her back with a blast of dark energy. She hit the window and broke it, falling outside, but she managed to cling on to the sill. Below her she saw a graveyard, along with some zombies. She screamed and looked above her, seeing Bloody smiling and laughing sinisterly. "Well well...looks like this will be more fun for me."

"Please! Don't kill me!"

"Foolish idiot girl!" He grabbed her hands in attempt to pull her fingers off the sill. "Now....TIME TO DIE!!!"
