S2 Chapter 5 Fine Then, We'll Come.
"Go, Articuno!"
Articuno chirped, and used Blizzard on the growling Houndoom on command from Ash.
I yawned widely. Ash's battle was scheduled the day after he registered, which was, of course, today. I hadn't gotten much sleep last night, since I was mostly worried about the upcoming meeting between me and *him*.
I tried to focus on the battle. The Houndoom had a resistance against Ice moves, but Ash had trained the arctic bird very well, so it caused it to reel over and become momentarily stunned.
Ash used his few free seconds by commanding, "Articuno, Peck!"
Articuno jabbed the poor canine in the forehead, causing it to fall backwards, but then it hopped to its feet.
Ash's opponent commanded something, but I was unable to hear it because I could feel another headache coming on...And I knew what that meant.
Why are you keeping me waiting? Must I have someone bring you to me? Do you insist on avoiding your destiny? the evil voice inquired.
Leave me alone! I sent back, eyes closed painfully.
A malicious laugh. I don't think so. You must come to me soon, or our meeting will be that much more painful.
You don't scare me! I shot with a confidence I didn't feel.
Lying doesn't become you...And also, you're bad at it. I could feel him grin sinisterly. I won't wait much longer. If you're not at the Seafoam Islands by noon tomorrow...I'll have to get you there by brute force. And you wouldn't like that...Now would you?
I squeezed my eyes tighter, I'll be there.
Don't forget your companions.
Dang. I thought I could slide that by him. I can't promise that.
Then I can't promise that they'll be unharmed, he replied.
Why are you doing this? I whimpered.
I told you. I believe the correct phrase would be "This world ain't big enough for the two of us".
I abruptly cut off contact with him. I couldn't take anymore.
But I could still hear echoes of his fanatic laughing. Curse him!
Luckily, I had been sitting behind Misty and Brock, so they hadn't noticed me slumped on the ground. Ash had been too busy to notice, although a few crowd members were looking at me curiously. The Houndoom was down, and a very tough Mareep was out.
Guys, I prompted Misty and Brock.
They turned and looked at me inquisitively.
I have some bad news.
