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.
