C. Cowboy: Okay, Dokay, here's another chapter. In this one, the Heroes prepare to make the trip back in time with the cure to Misty's disease, but can they make it before Giovanni and Team Rocket gets to her?
CHAPTER 6: PREPARE FOR DEPARTURE!
"Archanine! Flamethrower! NOW!!" Yelled Gary Oak as he ran beside fellow Master, Ash Ketchum and his son, A.J. "Pikachu, take out that guard with a thunder shock!" Ashley yelled as his number one Pokemon leapt from his shoulder and proceeded to near electrocute the guard. The three continued down the hall till they met a locked door. "Well, looks like this is it! You want to knock down the door or do you want me to do it, Ashy Boy?" Gary asked with heavy sarcasm, "Oh, be my guest Gary, take her down, and be quick about it. It's almost dinner time!" Ash added with equal sarcasm. Gary then pulled a poke ball off his belt and threw it to the floor in front of him, "Rydon! I CHOOSE YOU! Tackle that door!" Gary yelled as the massive Pokemon appeared in front of the threesome. The Rydon obeyed the command and took down the steel door with one tackle. "Rydon! Return!" the three walked into the room with a large machine with a doorway on the side of it. "OK lets download the info on this thing and send it to the scrap pile!" A.J. said as he and Gary watch the door while Ash downloaded the plans and program for the Time Machine to his Pokegear. "GOT IT! Pikachu Ultra Shock this thing!" yelled Ash as Pikachu began gathering energy in the form of a large electric bubble around its small body. Once it was satisfied that it gathered enough energy, it threw its head back and absorbed the bubble into its cheeks and released the energy in the form of a gigantic energy bolt directly toward Team Rockets' Time Machine. All that was left of the machine was a hole in the wall.
"Mission complete, Pikapi!" the little Pokemon said looking up at Ash. Ash patted Pikachu's head and turned to leave, "Lets get this information back to Jessie and James."
A few hours later Gary and the older Ash was prepping the L-1 and watching Ash's younger self talking about "old times" with Pikachu when Jessie walked up to them. "All the medication I need has been loaded on the jet, Boss." Gary looked shocked at Ash; "You're not going to pull what I think your going to pull, are you?" Ash looked solemnly at Gary, "And why shouldn't I?" Gary put a hand on Ash's shoulder, "I know you miss her, but you're playing with time itself! You could destroy even the whole world as we know it!" Ash brushed Gary's hand off his shoulder and grabbed him by the collar, "Ever since I was ten years old, I've stuck my neck out for this 'World'. How was I repaid? The one thing I held most dear is taken away. I don't care about this world anymore, Gary. I haven't cared since Misty died. The only thing that has kept me going is A.J. If it wasn't for him, I might be worse then Giovanni ever dreamed of being! And if when we get back, everything in the world has changed, as long as Misty is alright, I really don't care about anything else." Gary looked shocked at Ash, but somewhere down in his gut he knew this was coming. Gary then lost the shock expression and smiled at his friend, "What do need me to do?"
A few hours later the storage room in the back of the jet was transformed into an operation room. Jessie, who was now a highly know Doctor and the one who discovered the cure for Kasumi Syndrome was triple checking to make sure that she had all the equipment needed for the procedure. "You ready, Jessie?" Purred the Persian as it linked into the back of the jet, "Yeah, as ready as I ever will be I guess." The Persian rubbed against Jessie's leg, "I hope we see our past selves! Their faces will probably be funny when they see us helping Master Ketchum." Jessie smiled and nodded. Back then, they were enemies, but now not only were they friends but were also the unofficial aunt and uncles to Ash's son! "Aunt Jess, you in here?" Jessie looked up to see A.J. walking in the room. "Well, hello there, A.J., can I help you with something?" A.J. looked down at his feet, "I was just needing to talk to somebody." Jessie walked over and put an arm around her 'nephew's' shoulder as Persian left them to themselves, "You know you can talk to me about anything!" A.J. continued to look down, "D-Do you think… my Mom, I-I mean the Misty in the past… will…like me?" Jessie squeezed the boy in a warm hug, "of coarse she'll like you, and she'll love you, too! But do you remember your father's past self's reaction to you. She'll probably be just as surprised, if not more, but give her time. She'll warm up to ya!" She said pulling him in front of her and kissing him on the forehead, "Now go help your Uncle James carry the rest of my stuff!" A.J. smiled and ran back the way he came and past his father, who he had no idea was there the whole time. "Thanks, Jessie, for everything." Ash said as he walked up to the doctor. "No it should be us thanking you. If it weren't for you, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu, James and I would probably be in jail right now, or even worse! Think of us helping you save Misty as a way of paying back our debt to you." Ash just smiled as he turned to leave, "Thanks Jess. This time I owe you guys one." As he left the door he peaked back inside, "By the way, we take off in a hour."
To Be Continued…
C. Cowboy: Yeah I know it was short, but it's just a lead up to the next few chapters, BTW If you think thing are going a little to smooth for the good guys, you might be right. In the next Chapter the future heroes take the younger Ash home, but what will be his friends reaction, and who else will be waiting?
