The New Rocket Member
By firehedgehog
Chapter Nine
Crystal carefully followed the Four
teens that had captured Jack, she
frowned angerly wondering how
someone so powerful could be caught by
pokemon trainers so ordinary. When
the pokemon trainers stopped to rest
Crystal touched her hand to her
face, she could still feel where jack had hit
her and she could think only one
thing... why?
Why didn't he kill... why had he
seemed so angry when that ice beam had
hit there enimie, he was so angry
that he had slapped her. She still
remembered how he had saved the
other teen, he had glowed such a
beautiful gold color, when he had
saved him she had felt a strang enery in
the air.
"Jack, what other powers do you
have," she whispered, she sighed as the
pokemon trainers were on there way again
and she started to follow them.
***
As they walked to there hideout from
team rocket Misty studied Jack, his
sleeping form looked so innocent and
she admitted that he was cute...
actually he was very cute.
His green hair fluttered slightly in
a gentle wind and it hung loose since his
hair tie had come out awhile ago,
long eyelashes gently touched his skin. It
was then that Misty blinked and
blushed, what was she doing thinging of
someone from team rocket like this.
She now looked at pikachu who was
still with Tracey who stayed near
Jack, even after all these years the
two got along. Pikachu wouldn't let the
others come near him, Misty had
tried to get near pikachu but then pikachu
had given her a shock.
Misty sighed wondering how they
could deal with pikachu and make it into
its old sweet self, how she missed
pikachu cuddling her and those days of
asdventure.
'But those are over with now, Ash is
no where to be seen and probably only
Team rocket knows where he is...
also they had pikachu slave to there
most powerful agent' Misty thought
sadly, she closed her eyes with a sad
sigh and was startled when she felt
something soft rub against her leg.
Misty opened her eyes and looked
down, there was pikachu looking up
with those button brown eyes of his.
Then before she could say anything he
bounded away and jumped onto Traceys
shoulder, now Misty smiled
knowing that she had finally been
forgiven.
'Thank you pikachu' she thought
happily, the day seemed brighter now.
***
Pikachu sighed wishing that Jack was
awake, since being near the red
haired girl again he had decided to
forgive her.
He looked at Tracey who was
checking Jack over, Pikachu had never seen
Jack use that power before and he
had been awed by it. During that time
he had saved the pokemon watcher he
had felt an almost god like power,
could his trainer be even more
powerful then even the pokemon he
protected for he was the guardian.
He looked at the blue sky above
almost sadly, even now he could
remember how there life had been so
different only six years ago. Jack still
had the innocence of a child like he
had years ago as Ash but it was
hidden now, Jack hid it deeply
for it could be a weakness as the guardian.
***
A storm raged in the distance, black
clouds gathered and a rumbling of
thunder was heard and lightning
began to flash.
Pokemon everywhere looked at the sky
sadly knowing that the final battle
between good and evil was to come
soon, humans could not feel it for they
were not in tune with nature as they
were.
Deep underground something began to
awaken, long ago it had been
trapped there by the pokemon of the
world to stop it from destroying the
world. Now it was coming back
stronger then before, the ledgendary
pokemon could not stop it this
time... it waited for soon it would be free.
***
Brock sighed happily as they finally
came to there base, this was there
hidden base where they kept records
on there missions against team
rocket.
Thankfully team rocket did not know
of this place, they would keep it a
secret for as long as they could.
"Put him in the brig," he
said as they enetered and he pointed at Jack, the
two men nodded and began to go to
the unconcious team rocket member.
"PIKA!" pikachu said
angerly getting in front of them, pikachu glared at the
two men sparks
coming from his cheeks.
"Sir?" one of the men
questioned, Brock frowned wondering what he
should do since pikachu wouldn't let
anyone near Jack but Tracey. Then it
hit him, he would let Tracey take
Jack to the brig, pikachu would go with
him and nothing bad would happen.
"Tracey why don't you take him
to the brig, pikachu trusts you and can you
stay there till Jack wakes up?"
Brock asked, Tracey nodded and picked up
Jack who he had layed on a
couch. Brock dismissed the two men and
watched Tracey walk away, pikachu
was at the boys heels looking at Jack
with concern.
***
Jack woke up slowly his eyes hurting
even from the dim light, his head hurt
terribly as if someone had hit him
many times on the head with a mallot. He
sat up slowly feeling vertgo from
dizzyness, he blinked feeling sick to his
stomach as he looked around.
He was clearly in a prison of some
type, actually it looked quite comfy for
he was in a real bed and
the cell actually had a private bathroom from what
he could see.
What caught his attention was the
familliar teen sitting inside his cell on a
comfy chair fast asleep, he
smiled lightly slightly happy at seeing pikachu
sleeping on the boys lap.
Jack knew that he was still quite
weak from healing Tracey for that type of
healing took much energy, he had
once done it a year ago for pikachu... he
had never told pikachu since the
pokemon didn't remember his near death
experience.
He yawned feeling his eyelids
becoming heavy, with one last look at
Tracey and pikachu he lay down again
and fell asleep a smile on his face
and for once it was a true smile
***
Jack woke up again a few hours
later, pikachu and tracey were still asleep
and that caused him to smile again.
He was happy that there friendship
was still there, he had lost so much
and he wanted pikachu to be happy.
'If I'm going to find out anything
I'm going to have to wake them up, at the
moment I'm to weak to get out of the
bed so I'll have do it some other way'
Jack thought, he frowned and tried
to think of some way.
He sat up and sat indian style
looking at the two, he knew that if he stood
up he would probably get dizzy and
faint... not something he wanted to do
anytime soon.
"Pikachu... wake up," he
said in a tired voice, he sighed realizing that even
his voice told him how energy he had
used to bring tracey back from the
brink of death.
"Pi," pikachu muttered
still asleep, Jacks eyebrow twitched.... he would
have to find a different way. Then
he spotted something beside the bed, he
picked it up and grinned evilly at
the two sleeping across from him.
"Wake up," he said in a
sickly sweet voice, he then threw the object he had
found which hit tracey on the
forehead.
"Wah!" tracey said waking
up and he stood up, that caused pikachu to fall
to the floor and wake up.
"Pikachu!" pikachu yelled
startled, Tracey yelled as lots of electricity
shocked over him.
"Omph," Tracey said
falling into the chair once again, a puff of smoke left
his mouth... one fried Tracey served
by pikachu.
"Ha ha ha... that was so
funny," Jack laughed weakly, pikachu quickly
jumped onto his lap and
gave him a hug.
"Really Ash, I thought you
would be more mature than this now," Tracey
said sitting in the chair again, the
room grew silent at what Tracey had said
and Jack and pikachu looked
nervously at the pokemon watcher.
"How did you you Trace?"
he whispered to the other teen, Tracey looked at
him his eyes seemingly to darken at
a memory.
"Years ago I used a computer
program to see what you would look like if
you had grown up, you look exactly
the same except for your hair and eye
changes, also how pikachu
reacted towards you... you two have a bond
that forms rarely and I know pikachu
wouldn't be able to do it with another
human," Tracey said, Jack frowned
and sighed.
"Have you told anyone else
yet" he asked the other boy.
***
Tracey looked at Ash as he asked
that question, Ashs eyes held a sorrow
and also an anger towards something.
As Ash sat there he abstantly ran
his fingers through pikachus fur,
the electric pokemon enjoyed this and
gave a small purring sound.
In his mind he knew that he should
tell the others that Jack was Ash but
something held him back, he knew
what had happened years ago that had
changed Ash into Jack... he had
thought his friends had betrayed him. But
he knew that he couldn't tell them
for Ash didn't want them to know, he
guessed that Ash didn't want them to
know what he had become over the
years.
"No I havn't told them, I won't
tell them till your ready," Tracey said, Ash
gave a sigh of relief at that, as
Tracey watched a saddness seemed to
creep across the other teens eyes
and then vanish just as quickly.
"Thank you Tracey, I don't want
them to know... its best if they think i died all
those years ago," Ash said with
a far away look in his eyes, when Tracey
saw that look he knew that Jack must
regret many of the things he had
done during team rocket.
***
Crystal silently slipped inside the
building they had taken Jack, she
frowned hoping that they hadn't
damaged her perfect guy. She licked her
lips which had grown dry, she knew
that she only had one chance to save
her partner and if she failed it
could mean his life or even her own.
'Damn Jack, why did you have to get
caught.... why did you save one of the
enimie' she thought angerly for she
could still feel the spot that he had
slapped her, she would find out as
soon as she got him out of this hole.
"I'm on my way," she
whispered, once she saved him he would owe her big
time... oh yes and the payment sh
asked would be fun for her.
***
Jack looked at Tracey not knowing
what else to say, it was then that he felt
something miles away and it made him
want to shiver. It was a terrible
power and evil, it was
ancient and trying to escape from somewhere deep
in the earth... he frowned.
"Whats wrong Ash?" Tracey
asked concern on his face, Jack winced at
hearing his old
name come from the lips of someone he still considered a
friend.
"Please tracey, call me Jack
its my name now," he said, the older boy
shrugged.
"Then Jack it is," he
said, "But whats wrong?" he asked, Jack sighed and
answered.
"I don't know what exactly
except something bad is going to happen soon...
very soon, , I don't really know how
to describe it yet I can sense it," Jack
said with a frown, Tracey frowned.
"I don't know why but I hope
your wrong, but I feel that your right," Tracey
said, they both looked at the
ceiling of the cell not knowing what to do.
