C. Cowboy: Well it's about time for young Ash to go home to his friends. But as far as they know they are the only ones going to the past. Can Master Ketchum match the much more experienced Giovanni. Now on with the show!
CHAPTER 7: GOTTA GET BACK IN TIME
The large black jet began to lift off with the older Ash and Gary in the pilot and copilot seats. Behind them set the younger Ash (with Pikachu in his lap) and A.J. beside him. In the next row were James and Jessie and Persian sleeping under their seats.
"You ready to go home, Ash?" Asked the older Ash, "Yeah! I've missed Brock and Pikachu and Togapi and… um… er Misty." Gary chuckled "No point hiding it from us now. We knew you two were crazy about each other back then and we definitely know now." Ash blushed and looked over Gary's shoulder at the control panel. On the older Ash's side there was a picture of a beautiful woman with blue-green eyes and orangey-red hair that came down just above her shoulder. She was wearing a light, white jacket and a tight blue tank top and short shorts, (basically how she looks in the Gold and Silver game or Pokemon Stadium 2.) and looked very happy. "Is that who I think it is?" The older Ash smiled at his younger self and nodded for a reply. "Wow." Was all the younger Ash could say as his older self handed him the picture for a closer look. It seemed that 'beautiful' was an understatement. Gary pressed a few switches; "You know we could be kicked out of the league for this, Ashy Boy." The older Ash just smiled at him, "Where's your since of adventure?" Gary just shook his head as the jet's new 'Time Drive' came online. "I just hope this thing works better then your last toy, James." James jumped to his feet and started to yell some unkind words, but was cut off when Persian let him know that he was standing on his tail. James calmed down as Jessie dressed his many scratches. "All right! Everyone hang on! Cause here we go!" Ash said as he pushed the throttle, pushing everyone back in their seats. In a flash of light they were gone.
Present day:
Misty marched in front of Pikachu and Brock. "If Ash is all right, and I'm worried for nothing, I'll kill 'em!" Misty snapped out of worry and anger. "Don't worry Misty, He has his Pokemon with him. So there's nothing to worry about. He probably just fell asleep under a tree." Brock said trying to calm Misty and Pikachu. Misty just kept pacing while Pikachu stared at nothing in particular. If Brock was right, Ash had a really, REALLY, big thunder shock waiting for him. After a few minutes they heard footsteps coming toward them. They all locked up expecting Ash, but got three other, two in Team Rocket uniforms the other in a red suit and tie. "Misty Waterflower, I presume." The Man in the suit said. Misty just nodded not sure what to do and was wishing Ash was there. "If Ash was here he'd… look at me and I'd think up a plan." She said kind of disappointed at her thoughts "But it's not as easy without him. Why is that anyway?" The man walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, "My names Giovanni and I'm from the future, Twenty two years in the future to be exact." Misty smirked trying to keep from laughing, "So if you from the future, what do you want with… us!!!!" Misty said giggling. "Well, not you in particular, but two people who are direct results of you. In my time, your husband and son are making my Team Rocket have several… problems. So I figure, if I take you out of the picture here and now, I won't have to worry about Master Ketchum and his worthless son in the future." Misty eyes went wide as two words sunk in, husband and Master Ketchum. Could it be that someday her and Ash would get married! "No, this had to be some kind of joke." "It's no joke my dear, and now I'm afraid you now have to die." Giovanni said as he released a Rydon. "Over my dead body!" came a voice from above them.
Everyone looked up to see the L-1 and then a person jumped from the side hatch and spin jumped down to the ground between Misty and Team Rocket. The man slowly rose to his feet with Pikachu on his shoulder. Butch and Cassidy cowered behind Giovanni and he just looked shocked. "I won't let you touch her." The man said as Pikachu jumped down to his side. Giovanni was silent, but the two minions managed to let out, "M-M-M-MASTER K-K-K-K-K-KETCHUM!!!!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
C. Cowboy: Well the heroes are now back in time and the younger Ash will soon be reunited with his fiends, but only if Master Ketchum can match Giovanni. Please review. And remember flamers will be hunted down and beaten with a big stick. Thank you.
