Chapter Eight

"Lapras go," Crystal called as a wild pokemon attacked them, the wild

pokemon was a Marill and Jack saw that it was only attacking because it

was badly hurt and starving.

"Lapras Body Slam," Crystal called to her pokemon, lapras gave a small

cheerful sound and slammed into the other water pokemon.

"Marill," the small pokemon cried as it fell to the ground, as Jack watched

Crystal took out a pokeball and threw it. He watched as the ball rocked for

a few seconds and then grew still, Crystal had caught Marill.

"I got another pokemon, I have two now," Crystal crowed happily, Jack

rolled his eyes but smiled slightly at how innocent Crystal could sometimes

be.

"You still have quite away to go to get six Crystal, maby later we can have a

battle," jack said as they continued on there way, Crystal gave him a feral

grin her eyes gleaming.

"I count on it, how else am I going to keep in practice if i don't battle

anyone," she said, then with her back straight she walked off to take care

of some personal bussiness.

"This is going to be fun, isn't it pikachu," Jack said to his pikachu, pikachu

smiled.

(Yup, are we going to play with her or actually battle) pikachu asked, jack

looked thoughtful for a few seconds.

"A real battle, it could be fun," Jack said shrugging his shoulders, a minute

later Crystal came back and they continued on there way. Already they had

picked up the disk, now all they had to do was go to the pick up area where

they would be brought back to base.

***

A few miles away four people waited for them to arrive, they were Misty,

Brock, Tracy and Gary Oak. Misty wished that they had chosen a better

place to hide, she was getting a cramp in her side and she really needed

to pee.

Then finally one of there pokemon they had sent out to watch for Jack and

his pokemon arrived, the urgent way it moved told them that Jack was near

and soon there plan would go into effect.

'We'll save you pikachu, we'll save you from team rocket' Misty thought, as

she sat her eyes became teary as she thought of Ash.. the first and only

boy she had ever had a crush on.

She felt a hand on her shoulder, turning her head slightly she saw that it

was tracey his face sad his eyes telling her to be brave. Misty smiled at

him and he nodded knowing that she would be brave, she had to be brave

for she was about to face the person that had Ashs pikachu.

"Ash," she whispered, a single tear fell down her face and darkened the

dirt beneath her.

***

It was getting dark slightly now, it would be around midnight before they

arrived at the pick up place. Crystal looked slightly tired while Ash looked

the same as always, pikachu was on his shoulders because he was tired

of walking and decided to take his favorite perch on Jack.

"Stay where you are," a voice suddenly screamed and the two froze there

hands slipping to there pokeballs, as Jack watched four people seperated

themselves from the shadows of the forest. To his surprise he reconized all

four of them, he smirked slightly to himself wondering what they wanted.

"Why hello Miss waterflower, how are you,' he said making his voice sound

mocking, she glared at him and he watched as the others grab her before

she could actually attack him with her bare hands.

"Bastard, you stole my pokemon and sent me to the hospital," she yelled at

him her face going a lovly shade of red, the other three sweatdropped and

reached for there pokeballs.

"What do you want, is it a pokemon battle," he asked in a calm voice,

mocking was fun once in awhile and it had always been fun at seeing how

much he could get Misty angry before she struck out... seems her temmper

was just as bed as it had been before.

"Hurry up, we have to hurry," Crystal said glaring at the four, Jack smirk

grew slightly as he saw the way Brock was gazing at his partner.

"We want the disk, pass it over," Gary said holding out his hand, Jack and

Crystal looked at each other and broke out laughing and even pikachu

joined in.

"You must be joking, but if you insist we can have a pokemon battle to

decide the fate of the disk," Jack said and he spun the disk on the tip of his

finger, the four quickly discussed it.

"we accept, and if we win we also get pikachu," Misty said and Jack

blinked startled, they wanted pikachu so they all knew that he had belonged

to Ash and thought him stolen. When in reality he was still with ash who was

just using a different name, he looked at pikachu who nodded.

"You sure?" he asked his friend, he didn't want to loose the closest friend in

a stupid battle.

(I want to test myself against them, anyway theres not much of a chance

that you will loose is there) pikachu said and Jack sighed, if pikachu

agreed he would do it.

"Agreed, if we win you leave us alone," he said, Crystal next to him ageed

also.

"Lapras go," she said, Lapras appeared in a flash of light.

"Pikachu go," he said, with those words pikachu jumped off his shoulders

and ran to the area the battle was to take place.

Be careful pikachu he said telepathicly to pikachu who was the only one

to hear it, pikachu looked at Jack and nodded.

(I will) he said.

***

Misty gritted her teeth and glared hatefully at Jack, already the jerk had

beet her new pokemon and now only three pokemon there side remained.

What more he was using pikachu against them, the jerk must be using

mind control drugs on pikachu or something.

"Lapras ICE BEAM!" Jacks partner screamed, in awe Misty watched as

the ice beam froze there last three pokemon and kept on going... right

towards Tracey.

"Tracey get out of the way," she screamed at him, he looked at her his

eyes going wide seeing the ice beam. But it was too late as the ice beam

hit, the battle they had lost and it had cost an even greater cost... another

friend she had lost.

"NO!" she screamed running to her frozen friend and Brock and Gary

joined her after calling back there pokemon, tears flowed down her face

and she touched the ice that was quickly killing her friend.

"You idiot, that Ice beam struck him... if we don't help he'll die," she heard a

voice shout, startled they looked up to see Jack look angerly at his partner.

"But he's the enimie Jack, who cares if he dies," she said recalling her

lapras, then to everyones shock Jack slapped her face.

"Crystal every life is precious, many team rocket agents may kill but I never

will and as my partner neither will you," Jack said glaring at the girl, Misty

gasped when she heard this.. he didn't kill.

"..." the blue haired girl said holding a hand to the red spot on her face,

then as she watched Jack started walking towards them.

***

Jack walked towards the four, he had no anger when he looked at the

frozen tracey still seeing the pokemon watcher as a friend even after all

these years.

"What do you think your doing," Misty growled stepping in front of him, Jack

sighed to himself. It seemed that to help Tracey he would have to stop the

others from interrfering, with a gentle touch of his power he made it so that

the other three pokemon trainers couldn't move, but they could still breath

and move there eyes.

"I'm going to save your friend," he said walking around her frozen form, he

then walked over to the frozen tracey.

"One thawed healthy and alive Pokemon Watcher coming up," he said

placing his hand on the ice which was quite cold, he closed his eys and

began.

***

Brock could not move but thankfully he could see what Jack was doing, at

the edge of his mind he wondered how Jack had known Tracey was a

pokemon watcher. If he could he would of gasped as Jacks body began to

glow a golden color, an invisible wind gently moved Jacks green hair in

what looked almost like a dance.

He began to skake inside as the ice around Tracey began to melt, slowly

at first and then faster and it rose into the air as steam.Then there stood

tracey who looked unharmed and healther then ever, then to Brocks

happiness Tracey opened and took in a deep breath.

"Done," Jack said in a very weak voice opening his blue eyes, then his

eyes closed and he fell to the ground in a faint and Brock found he could

move again totally and so could the others.

He looked at Jacks partner who had gone pale and was staring at the

downed Jack, then before any of them could stop her she grabbed the disk

that had fallen onto the ground and ran into the forest very fast.

***

Tracey gently lay the fainted boy into his arms, he knew that Jack had

saved him and he knew that there was something special about Jack. In

his arms Jack moved slightly and Tracey looked at him, he slowly and

carefully studied the other boys face and he paled as he finally figured out

where all the clues were heading.

'Ash, your alive' he thought a small smile tugging at his lips, a small pika pi

made him realize that pikachu was looking at his trainer worried from in

front of Tracey.

"Don't worry pikachu he just fainted from exaustion, all he needs now is

rest," he said, pikachu looked at him relieved.

"Pi," pikachu said and he jumped onto traceys shoulder surprising him, as

Tracey watched the other three trainers walked over to him.

"Are you alright Tracey?" Gary asked concerned, he looked at jack/ash

who still hadn't woke up.

"I'm fine everyone, to tell the truth I feel heathier then ever," Tracey said and

it was the truth, he felt full of energy and as healthy as he had been as a kid.

"What should we do with him?" Brock asked looking at Jack, Tracey didn't

know why but he felt as if he should hide the fact that Jack was Ash for

now... also he had to keep Ash out of Jail for he had just saved his life from

certain death.

"I think we should bring him back to our base for questioning, we might find

out more about team rocket that way then him in jail," he suggested, the

others talked among themselves for a few minutes and then agreed.

"If anything happen that he does he's your responsibility," Misty said glaring

at Jack, Tracey nodded knowing that Ashs or Jacks life was in his hands.

"Agreed," he said, tying Jack up they picked Jack up and started on there

way home.
