CHAPTER 8: ESCAPE TO MT. SILVER

"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!!!!" Giovanni's shocked expression faded into an evil smile, "Well, if it isn't the legendary Ash Ketchum, World's Greatest Pokemon Master and leader of the Elite Six. Future Ash smiled, "You forgot your worse nightmare." Giovanni smirked, "Not quite, Master." The Jet landed in the clearing next to Brock and Pikachu (The one from this time). Ash jumped from the open hatch and Pikachu jumped into his arms, "Hey Buddy, did you miss me?"  Pikachu nodded and perched himself on Ash's head. Jessie and James were the next out, as Persian leapt to Ash's side. Then A.J. ran out and to his father's side. F. Ash looked at his son, "Go help your aunt and uncle get the Kids on the L-1."  A.J. nodded and ran to the other Ash, "Hey, Dad said get Misty and Brock on the L-1!" Ash nodded, "I'll get Misty, you get Brock!" Ash ran to where Misty was watching the man that clamed to be Ash. "Ash, where have you been?" Ash just helped her up and headed toward the L-1, "It's a long story." Jessie and James helped Brock and A.J. on board and then helped Ash and Misty, and Persian jumped in behind them. "All right Gary they're all on, take off but keep it low to pick up the Boss!" Jessie exclaimed. Gary did just that as the jet swung around right above Ash's head. James opened the hatch and dropped a rope ladder. Before F. Ash could climb the ladder Giovanni, "I'll be nice and tell you a secret. Have you ever wondered how I seems to always be one step a head of you? They is a chance that you have a leak in you oh so tight inner circle!" Ash's eyes went wide and almost fell off the ladder, "He has a point, every time I think I have him he slips right through my fingers."

Ash shook it off and climbed the ladder, not even looking back at Giovanni. He entered the cramped cockpit. "Everyone alright?" Everyone nodded and made his way to the Pilot seat. "There's a good place that would be easily guarded about two and a half miles south east of here. It's an old cave on the side of Mt. Silver."  The jet was there in less then a few minutes. The cave was high on the side of the Mountain and Big enough for the L-1 to land in. they all exited the jet, Brock and Misty were very unnerved by the events of the last half hour. "Ash, who are these people?" Misty asked. Ash turned to his future self. He signaled for Ash to come over. "Ash, I'm sorry, you have no choice but to tell Misty how you feel. The others and me will tell Brock and Pikachu, You can go back into the L-1, and tell Misty what's going on. You know that all this will reveal your inner most secrets. She can stay out here and I can tell her, or you can take her in there and let her hear in from you. Your call." I-I guess there's no other way then." Ash said stuttering. Future Ash smiled, "Don't worry, you know how you feel, and if I'm not mistaken the last name on the grave stone is Ketchum if that tales you anything!" Ash nodded fighting back tears; he never wanted to remember that part of his trip again. He then turned and walked Back to Misty.

"Hey, Mist, come with me for a second. I need to talk to you about something." Misty looked puzzled but went with him anyway. They walked into the cockpit and set in the pilot and copilot seats. "We'll these people are from around twenty two years in the future. Well, the one in the hat like mine is me. And the other three adults are Gary, Jessie, and James. Misty Laughed, "We'll what about Brock and me?" Ash dropped his head to his chest, "Well, Brock as just fine, but you…you… died… eighteen years from now." He said with tears now running down his face. Misty was now in shock. "How?" was all she said. Ash looked in her eyes "I know all about Kasumi Syndrome, Misty. And there's some other things that you should know." Misty looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "First of all do you see that orangey-red haired boy, standing beside that older Pikachu?" Ash said pointing out the window, Misty looked out and then back at Ash, "Yeah, I see him. Who is he?" Ash just blushed a little as he placed her hand in his, "Well, his name is Ash Jr. He's your son, our son." Misty almost fell out of her seat. He was six when you died, or will die." Then he let a smile brake his face, "That is if we didn't have the CURE for your Kasumi syndrome!" Misty's eyes lit up as she grabbed Ash in a tight hug. "I brought them back with me to save you." Misty looked at him in the eyes, "You have a cure?" Ash nodded, "Yeah, It was discovered two weeks after you past away. I can understand how the other Ash feels; he seems very distant and unhappy. I'd feel the same way if… I-I-if I lost… you." Ash said as he blushed as red as a magicarp. You're doing this… for me?"  Ash just nodded, too embarrassed to look her in the face. That's when Misty raised his chin in her hand and softly kissed his lips. Ash turned blood red. Then a little grayish yellow Pikachu walked into the cockpit. "Yo! Pikapi, come out here for a sec, K?"  Misty's eyes went wide again, "Did… Pikachu… just… speak… English?" Ash just nodded, "Yup, Bout forgot about that. Meowth taught him about a few years from now when they join up with us." Misty just rubbed her forehead, "I'm getting a head ache!" Ash laughed, "You'll get used to it?"

The three walked out side the jet, F. Ash looked inquisitively at his younger self. Ash winked and gave him a thumbs up.

F. Ash also noticed Ash's lips now matched the color of Misty's lipstick, and laughed to himself, "If this don't work, at least he'll get her a few years earlier!"  Ash walked up to him. F. Ash placed a hand on Misty's shoulder. "Did Ash tell you everything about why we're here?" Misty nodded, "All right, we'll rest tonight and proceed with the procedure first thing in the morning." Everyone nodded and went to there other activities. Ash smiled to himself, "Nothing can go wrong now!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

C. Cowboy: Well here's another Chapter out of the way! I know this got a little weak, but I got some serious writers block while writing this! BTW, does anyone else think Ash shouldn't have said 'Nothing can go wrong now'? Until next time!
