C. Cowboy: I'm back with another chapter. You remember in the last chapter 'Super' Pikachu slaughtered the Mewtwo army. But Togapi was seriously hurt in the process. Gotta love drama! R&R!
Chapter 9: Togapi Emergency
"Ash, Togapi's… n-not breathing…" Misty said in a state of shock. Pikachu's ears twitched "PIKAPI! PI KA PIKACHU!!" 'Ash! I don't hear a heartbeat!!' Pikachu then reached for Togapi, "Pi ka pika." 'Give her to me.' Misty reluctantly handed Togapi to Pikachu. Pikachu then looked up at Ash, "Pikapi, pika pi kachu." 'Ash give me some room.' Ash nodded, "OK everyone give Pikachu room to work. Everyone backed off except Misty, "Come on Mist," Ash said pulling her away from Togapi, "Pikachu knows what he's doing." 'I hope.' Pikachu then placed a paw right in the center of Togapi's chest, "Pika Pipipi, pikachu." 'Come on, Togapi, fight." Pikachu then sent a small electric current through Togapi's body. Togapi's body jumped from the shock. Pikachu's ear twitched and then he shook his head and sent another shock. Misty then tried to reach for Togapi, but Ash grabbed her into a gentle embrace. He saw her crying and then held her head to his shoulder, "It'll be alright, Misty, It'll be alright." All Misty did to reply was placed her arms around him and gave him a tight squeeze. Pikachu listened again, and once again shook his head, "Pi pika, kachu. Pika pichu, pika pi kachu!" 'One more try. Come on little girl, don't leave us!' He then sent another shock, and then listened again. His eyes then lit up and it looked like he was going to start dancing, "Pi pika pikachu!!!" 'I've got a heartbeat!!!' Misty gripped Ash so tight that he felt his ribs start to buckle. "It isn't over yet!" Brock said, "We have to get her to the Pokemon Center, NOW!" Ash let go of Misty and recalled Lugia, picked up Togapi, and made a dash for the Center.
A few hours later Nurse Joy took Togapi into the O.R. Out said Ash was pacing back and forth while Misty set with her head in her hands. Pikachu, Brock, Gary, and Melody set there just as worried as Togapi's 'Parents'. Nurse Joy finally walked out and looked at Misty and Ash. In a second Ash and Misty were on their feet listening for Nurse Joy to tell them anything, at this time they didn't care what. "She made it through the operation just fine, the next twenty-four hours will tell the tale." Joy said not helping Misty one bit. Misty set down, and cried into her hands. "I know how you're feeling Mist, you just have to…" Ash said trying to make her feel better, but she cut him off before he could even start. "How can you possibly know how I feel?" Misty said hatefully, "You can't Know how I feel!" Ash eyes narrowed and he bit his lip, he knew that was just Misty's emotions talking, and that starting an argument now would not be a good thing. Before he could lose his temper, he turned around and walked outside the center, slamming the door behind him. Pikachu jumped to his feet, glared at Misty, and followed Ash outside. Unlike Ash, Melody didn't care if Misty was upset or not, "Smooth one there, Mist." Melody said with an angry face, " You can't possibly know how I feel!" Melody said mimicking Misty. Misty looked up at her, "Well… h-he can't." Melody let out an almost evil laugh, "Just what do you think he's been going through the past year with Pikachu?" Misty's head shot up, "Oh God, what have I done? He'll probably hate me now! First I lose Togapi, and now I've lost Ash AGAIN!" Melody grabbed Misty's shoulders, "Calm down girl, You ARE NOT going to lose Togapi, and you ARE NOT going lose Ash!"
Ash walked for a while then he felt his hair start to stand up with static electricity, "Wish you'd learn to control that." Ash said as Pikachu caught up with him. "Pika." Sorry." Pikachu then looked up at Ash, "Pika pi kachu pika?" 'Want me to shock her for ya?' Ash giggled a little "No, I just thought we both needed time to cool off. That's all." You sure about that? Ash head shot up and he jumped back when he saw two big blue eyes staring at him. "MEW! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT! YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK!!" Mew just giggled and disappeared. Ash looked around and then felt something setting on his shoulder, Penny for your thoughts. "You're the psychic type, Mew, you tell me!" Mew giggled, You're just so cute when you think you're smart! I COULD scan your mind, but… I kindda like to hear it out loud. Helps with anger management. Ash just cocked an eyebrow but started to talk anyway, "Its just Togapi, she can do… Things… Things she shouldn't be able to." Have you tried training her? "No, Misty won't let me train her." I have a feeling she will now. Once Togapi recovers, help her to harness her inner strength. Trust me on this, very soon, you'll need all the help you can get! Bye-bye! In a flash Mew was gone, "MEW! WAIT! WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN???" Ash could hear Mew giggling, Now, that would be telling, wouldn't it? Keep Misty close; she is your greatest strength, but a year ago, she proved to be your greatest weakness as well! And with that Mew was gone.
TO BE CONTINUED…
