The Messenger part 5: Red and Blue alike
By Xen

Maximus looked out towards the ocean shore. "There both out there. However, I don't have a water pokemon that could support me and I can't walk on water. Hum. Can I create storms or something like that." Maximus's sword just did nothing. "OK, guess not. I guess I'm waiting for them to show up. I hope they come this way." Maximus continued waiting. Three sand castles later...
"I can't believe this. There just out there. What in the world could be taking them so long? I've could of gotten two or three more masters waiting for these guys. They better do some major but kissing when I find them. Now how far are they?" Maximus held the opal to his eye. "One of them is going to be here soon and the other is here! They're on the other side. Good." Maximus quickly ran into the forest behind him in search of his target.
----------------------------------------------------------
"So is this the island there so post to be on." A Meowth said.
"Where sure about it. Their not another island for the next ten miles." A red headed women said.
"And this time Meowth we can't fail." A blue haired man said.
"You just better get it right this time. We got to get that Pikachu."
"I don't think a Pikachu should be that great of an importance right now." Maximus said as he came into view.
"How are you?"
"My name is unimportant. I am here for you James."
"Me?" James said.
"What do want with him?" Jessie said.
"He has been chosen."
"I don't like. I don't want to be chosen."
"I didn't either, but I didn't have a choice. Just come with me and no harm will come."
"Look no one is taking him anywhere. You better yourself out here, or you going to pay regret it." Jessie said.
"Look I know you very protective of your boyfriend, but I have my orders."
"He not my boyfriend. You're going to pay for that remark." Jessie took out a pokeball. "Arbok get him." Arbok lunged towards Maximus, but Maximus grabbed Arbok by its head and tossed it down. Maximus took out his sword and encased the pokemon in a pokeball. Jessie was stunned by the act
"I almost forgot, I need you Arbok as well. Thanks for reminding me."
"You not getting away with that!" Jessie ran forward ready to attack.
"Jessie don't!" James yelled, but it was too late. Maximus plunged his sword into Jessie. Jessie split up blood as Maximus took his sword out. Jessie fell to the ground, dead.
"No."
"I warned her but she didn't listen. Now you are coming with me."
"Never! You killed Jessie! What would make me come with you." Maximus hit James and fell unconscious.
"I can't hurt you much, but you'll be staying here till I can get the other." Maximus dragged James to a tree and tied him with a vine. "There that should keep you. Now wait here." Maximus went into the forest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"This place looks ok." A man in a bandanna said. Two other peopl0e where with him. A boy with a Pikachu held up a pokeball.
"Ok Lapras, return." The water pokemon they were riding on returned to its pokeball.
"Couldn't we find a town or something?" The girl asked.
"Well this is the only island for miles, let alone one with a town."
"Yeah Misty, we where lucky to find this place." Ash said.
"No, I'm lucky you guys got here at all?" Maximus said as he appeared form the forest.
"Who are you?"
"A man on a mission."
"I thought this island would be deserted? Is it yours?" Tracy said.
"No, It is deserted."
"Then why are you here?" Ash asked.
"I'm here for the Pikachu."
"Never."
"Ash I think he serious." Misty said.
"Quite observant aren't you. I guess that's why I've come for you as well."
"Me?"
"Where not going to let you take her." Ash and Tracy stood in front of Misty.
"Gee that's what that girl said earlier before I killed her." Misty pushed the two out of the way.
"I'll go with you." Misty said.
"What?"
"You can't go with him. You have no idea what he'll do."
"However, I don't want him to hurt you. He killed someone and he might do it again. I don't want any of you getting kill for me."
"Smart choice. None of you would be able beat me anyway. No just hand over the girl and the Pikachu."
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Ash asked.
"If I don't he's going to hurt you two. I think its better if me and Pikachu just go." Misty took Pikachu and walked towards Maximus.
"Good decision. Now we shall be off. Don't follow us, or I will fight back." Maximus grabbed Misty and Pikachu and sped off into the forest."
"What should we do?" Tracy asked.
"I just can't let them be taken. We have to follow them." Ash and Tracy ran after Maximus.
-----------------------------------------------
Maximus returned to the spot where he had left James. Misty spotted the dead body of Jessie.
"You killed her?"
"She was in the way. All that those that stop the messenger shall perish. But before we get started." Maximus points his sword at Pikachu. "Capture." Pikachu became encased within a pokeball and took it form Misty's hands.
"What are you going to do with Pikachu?" Misty asked.
"Give it to it owner of course."
"But Ash is it owner."
"Pikachu is going to it real owner. This Pikachu is the chosen electric, just like the pokemon you're going to get, once I unlock your powers." Maximus looked around. "Dam it, he's gone. Must have been that Meowth. He couldn't have gotten far though. Stay here." Maximus quickly went into the forest and soon came back caring James body.
"Is he?"
"No, he's one of the chosen like you." Maximus placed James next to Misty and drew out his sword. "Now stand still. Unlock." A beam of light cast down upon the two. The beam changed into a dark black purple over Misty, while it held a lighter purple over James. "Now for your pokemon." Maximus took out two pokeballs and out came an Arbok and Haunter. "Go to your master." The Haunter and Arbok went toward James and Misty. The Haunter approached James and changed shape. It became a long chain with a small knife and weight on the ends. The Arbok that went near Misty changed into a long war bow. The bow fell into Misty's hands while the chain lay besides James. "Now do you remember?" Maximus asked.
"I do. I will go with you now."
"Good. Um.. I guess I'll just..." Maximus tied the chain around James. "There. Can you just hold him? And leave your pokeballs here you won't need those pokemon anymore." Misty dropped her pokeballs and backpack and held on to James. Maximus took James pokeballs off his belt. "Good." Maximus took out his sword. "Ok. Teleport." The opal glowed and the three disappeared as Ash and Tracy exited the forest. They saw Misty, James, and Maximus vanish before their eyes.
"They're gone?" Tracy said.
"Misty?" Ash said. Tracy then noticed Jessie's body that lay there.
"Oh my... Ash she's dead!"
"Huh? Ah. I guess she was the one that guy said he killed."
"He killed her and kidnapped Misty."
"And he took Pikachu."
"We got to do something."
"What do we do?"
"Lets get going to nearest town. We got to tell Officer Jenny. She might be able to help us."
"Ok. Lapras come out." Ash threw his pokeball and the water pokemon came out. Ash got on the Lapras."
"Wait Ash." Tracy grabbed the pokeballs Misty left behind. Tracy gave to Ash. "We should take of her pokemon for her."
"You're right. We won't till we find you Misty. I promise that. Lapras lets go!" Lapras rode out of the shore and to the ocean.
---------------------------------------------------------
The door of poison closed behind Misty. Maximus still stood with the unconscious James. "Guess that leaves you." Maximus dragged James to the ghost door. The stone door opened. "In you go." Maximus threw James into the chamber inside. "Finally, now I really get going. I've wasted my time getting those two. I think the electric should be next, since I wasted that long getting it." Maximus raised his sword above him. "OK, sword take me there." Maximus said as he vanished form the ruins.
