CHAPTER 2: THE BIG FALL

DISCLAIMER: once again I do not own Pokemon; the only characters I own are Amanda and Mitch.

C.COWBOY: Well I got three reviews so on with the show! I'm not the greatest typist in the world so read the story, not the typos.

Chapter 2: UNHAPPY REUNION

 

Brook, Amanda, Ash, and Misty made it into Garnet City. Amanda offered the group her guestroom, they all happily accept (all except Ash who has been obviously unnerved.)

She tells them there's a bunk bed and a couch.

Brook: I call top bunk!

Misty: I guess that leaves Ash and me to fight over the bottom bunk. (To Ash) So, what will it be: Paper, rock, scissors?

 Ash: (distant) It doesn't matter. Take the bunk if you want it.

Misty, Pikachu, and Brock looked at each other in surprise.

Misty:(concerned) uh…Ash, this is the part where you start to argue with me.

Pikachu:(concerned) Pika pi Pikachu? (Ash, are you alright?)

  

Ash: Yeah, never better. Why?  

Brock: You don't seem like yourself lately.

Misty: it's not like you not snapping at me.

Brock:(to Misty) Maybe he's just scared of going to the gym battle latter.

Ash:(nervous) um… maybe we should skip this gym this time.

Misty, Brock, and Pikachu look at Ash in shock. It even gets Togapi's attention.

Brock:(dumbfounded) what… did you just say?

Misty: (angry and shocked) All right, who are you, and what did you do with the real Ash Ketchum?

Pikachu: pika pika chu  (yeah, who the hell are you?)

 Ash: I…I have my reasons.

Misty:(pissed) and the reasons are?

Ash:(walking outside) just…just trust me for once, will you?

Misty: don't even go their Ash Ketchum!

Then the fight is interrupted when man in the distance yells causing Ash to cringe in fear.

? :  IS THAT LITTLE ASHLEY KETCHUM I SEE?

Ash: Oh please God no.

Ash turns around to see his older brother, Mitch Ketchum, running toward him. Mitch then placed Ash in headlock.

Mitch: How's my baby brother, huh Ashley Washley?

Misty And Brock just looks at each other.

Misty/Brock: Ashley… Washley?

Ash: (blushing) All right, you had your fun. NOW LET ME GO!

Mitch: since you asked so nicely. (Releasing Ash's head) I wondered how long it would take you to get here. I can't believe my baby brother is a Pokemon trainer!

Ash: (blushing more) I'm not a baby anymore! (Yelling) I'M 14 YEARS OLD FOR GOD'S SAKE! SO STOP CALLING ME "BABY BROTHER!" AND MY NAME IS NOT "ASHLEY", MY NAME IS NOT "ASHLY WASHLY". MY NAME IS ASH. I CALL MYSELF ASH, MY MOM CALLS ME ASH, MY FRIENDS CALL ME ASH, HELL, EVEN MY ENEMIES CALL ME ASH! SO WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME ASH?

Mitch: You're right about one thing; your name isn't "Ashley". It's Adrian Ashley Ketchum.

Ash: (blushing with anger and embarrassment) SHUT UP! SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!

Brock stood there in shock while Misty and Pikachu hide behind him. None of them had ever seen Ash like this.

Misty: (Thinking) I've never seen Ash this angry. I wonder if I'm like this with my sisters.

Pikachu: Pikachu. (He's going to blow.)

Mitch: touchy, touchy. Didn't mean to get you riled up like that, Bro. (Looking at Misty) you must be Ashy's girlfriend, Missy, Mom told me a lot about you to! (Back to Ash) I don't know Bro, Isn't she a little bit scrawny?  Well considered how dense you are I guess you have to take the best you can get.

Misty started to retaliate but Ash stepped in front of her almost protectively

 

Ash: You can talk about me, but nobody, NOBODY TALKS ABOUT MY FRIENDS!!

With that Ash jumped at his brother swinging a punch, which Mitch easily avoided.

The others just watched in aw.

Pikachu:( shadow boxing) Pika pi! Pi ka cha, pi ka chu! (That's it boss! Give him a left, give him a right!)   

        

Misty:(thinking) normally Ash would probably laugh at that crack, or even say the same thing about me. Why? Why is he standing up for me?

             

Ash continued to throw his best punches, but Mitch dodged every last one. Ash finally landed a punch to the side of Mitch's face.

Mitch: (enraged.) YOU SON OF A…

Mitch finished the statement with a sharp blow to ash's ribs that caused him to fall to the Ground.

Mitch: (angry) I AM YOUR ELDER BROTHER, AND YOU WILL RESPECT ME!

Mitch then kicked Ash in the side before turning and walking off

Mitch: (Laughing) You really didn't think you could defeat a real Pokemon Master, did you? 

Misty and Brock ran to their fallen friend

Misty: (worried) Ash? Are you all right?

Brock: (Angry) where does that guy get off? Is he really your brother, Ash?    

Ash just pulled himself to his feet, and wiped the blood from his lip.

Ash: (almost whispering) Yeah, he's my brother, and … he's really a Pokemon Master.

C. Cowboy: like it so far? Don't like ash's big brother? Wondering how that big jerk could possibly be a Pokemon Master? Well, get me three positive reviews and you'll find out.
