Love Struck Brock
Chapter 5: Emergency
At the rollerblade mania the rest of the group continued their day of fun. Ash was rollerblading fast through the rink gaining speed each time.
Ash: Hey look at me, I'm as fast as a Rapidash.
Todd walked in carrying some food, he'd finished his session and worked up an appetite. He turned to Ash and quickly noticed Ash's path.
Todd: Ash watch out!!!
Ash: Huh?
Ash turned and saw that it is too late to turn right and was headed right for the guardrail. He crashed into the guardrail and flipped over and landed. Todd walked over to him and helped him up.
Todd: You okay Ash?
Ash (dizzy): Where's Misty, I have to kiss her fifty times cause I hear fifty clanging sounds. Make that a hundred kiss. Wa!
Ash fell over and Todd shrugged. He sat next to the fallen Ash and ate his snack. Misty rollerbladed over and saw Ash on the ground looking dazed.
Misty: What happened to him?
Todd (in between bites): He crashed. He said something about giving you a hundred kisses.
Ash (dizzy): 200 kisses, that binging sound doesn't seem to end.
Todd: What's he talking about?
Misty: Um, just a little cute romance. Could you get Ash up?
Todd: Uh sure.
Todd picked up Ash and held him up so he was standing, Ash was still pretty dizzy.
Ash (dizzy): I see an angel, am I in heaven?
Misty giggled and blushed.
Misty: Kinda close to there Ashy. I know what'll snap you back to your sense.
Misty grabbed onto Ash's face and planted a kiss right on his lips. Todd let go of Ash and Ash was standing straight up on his own. The kiss lasted a minute long and when it broke Ash stood on the other side of the guardrail smiling.
Ash: I never thought crashing would feel so good.
Misty: Silly. Come'on Ash, let's go skate together.
Ash: Okay.
Just as Ash was about to skate to the open gate he noticed that his rollerblades were unbalanced, a bit damaged.
Ash: Um, Misty I think we have to stop. My rollerblades are feeling weird.
Misty: Aw you party pooper, you broke it when you crashed huh.
Ash: I dunno. I better return them.
Ash returned it and asked about the damages and costs. Luckily the manager was nice and said Ash didn't have to pay for it since it normally happens. Though if he really broke it then he would. It canceled anymore time for rollerblading and Misty returned her rollerblades too. They sat next to Todd who was just finishing up with his snack.
Todd: So how did you two get hooked up?
There was a moment of silence, Ash and Misty looked at each other and shrugged.
Misty: Would you believe that we traveled into the future found ourselves married and then fell in love?
Todd: Huh?
Ash: We found Team Rocket's hidden time travel machine and went into the future.
Todd: Run by me that again, I think the DJ is playing the music too loud.
Misty: Ashy boy was acting dense and accidentally recommended that we should go on dates first. One thing lead to another and Ash and I just kissed under a tree.
Todd: Oh that's nice. I though you said something about future and another said time machine or something like that.
Ash and Misty just sweatdropped and nodded smiling. Todd turned back and quickly fumbled with his camera.
Todd: Aaahh!! Pikachu rollerblading, now there's a cool shot. Okay, special point, size, pose, centering, same pokemon in picture.
Ash: What are you talking about?
Todd: Opps I forgot I'm not on the island anymore. Just forget it Ash. You're pikachu is funny. I never saw a Pikachu that could rollerblade before.
Ash: Well Pikachu learns everything from me.
Ash stood up proud and Misty slyly smiled at Ash.
Misty: Not all, Pikachu doesn't crash like Ash does.
Ash: Crashing is like an art, you need to do it just right.
Misty: That would make you an abstract artist then.
Ash fell whining. Misty laughed and sat on Ash.
Ash: Hey, ouch! Why are you sitting on me?
Misty: You keep falling over, I better just sit here and make sure you don't hurt yourself.
Ash: Wa! Misty! You're heavy!!
Misty took out a mini mallet and whacked Ash on the head.
Ash: Ouch! Um okay you're as light as a feather!
Misty smiled and stood up, Ash got up and dusted himself. They looked at Todd who was just reviewing the picture.
Ash: You took a picture?
Todd: Yup. I'm just putting a caption now.
Misty: What does it say?
Misty sweatdropped at what Todd put. It sounded weird. Romantic couple, Misty on top of Ash.
Ash: Hey that's funny.
Misty: I think the captioning needs work.
Pikachu circled a few times and hopped right off the area. He gave his cute small rollerblades to the return guy. They exited and headed back to the Pokemon Center. On the way they saw Brock and Nancy walking by, with Brock holding her bags ofcourse.
Ash: Hey look, there's Brock!
Misty: Wonder where he's going, he just passed the Pokemon Center.
Ash: Would it be a violation of the deal if we go up to him now?
Misty: Well um no cause we're just gonna ask him where he's going, ya know, so we don't worry.
On Brock's side Nancy just asked him to go to her place to drop of her things and also to teach her make the treat, Brock was very excited, part of the start of a good relationship is when the girl invites the boy to her house or that's what Brock believed. His fantasy was popped when he heard familiar voices.
Ash: Hey Brock, where're ya going?
Brock: Oh um hi guys um where'd ya been?
Confusion kicked in after the fantasy popped. Reality just hit Brock upside the head.
Misty: Just rollerblading around. Hey Todd's back with us!
Todd: Hi Brock!
Brock: That's nice. Now would you guys go keep your side of the . . .
Nancy: Oh hi again. Ash and Misty right! And I don't think Brock mentioned you.
Todd: The name's Todd. I like taking pictures. I'm the number pokemon photo masker!
Ash and Misty sweatdropped, Ash bumped Todd on the arm.
Ash: Masker?
Todd: That's right I'm the . . . no not Masker, Master I said Master!
Misty: Déjà vu!
Todd: I take pokemon pictures.
Nancy: Oh that's great. So we have two pokemon trainers, two pokemon breeders counting myself. And a pokemon photographer. Why don't you all come to my place for dinner. My parents would love to see you, and my dad, he would love to battle one of you two Ash and Misty.
Ash: I'll be delighted to battle. Yeah!
Misty: Sure.
Brock's head was practically covered with sweatdrops. There goes his moment with Nancy that evening.
Brock: But Nancy, I'm sure Ash, Misty, and Todd are very busy tonight right!!!
Ash: Actually no. We're completely free.
Brock quickly headlock Ash and dragged him towards and side quickly.
Brock: You are busy! If you want the riceballs then you're busy got it!
Misty slide in (without moving her foot) and interrupted Brock.
Misty: No the deal is still on. You said not to bother you and Nancy. We're not! We've been invited to her home so we could meet her parents and Ash here can battle with her dad. So we are in no way bothering you two.
Brock: But . . .
Nancy: Hey I'm delighted you can take great shots. My mom loves showing off her pokemon, maybe you could take a few for her.
Todd: That'll be great. It's my service to take pokemon pictures.
Brock: Waaa!!
Brock hurried back to Nancy, he was scared that she was flirting with Todd.
Ash: Hey that's my line, you stole my line Brock!
*****
Floating in the sky . . .
Butch: They're all there, plus that photo kid is with them!
Cassidy: Let's go!
Just a few steps take when suddenly a shadow surrounded Ash and everybody. As the sun set over the horizon two figures slowly floated down, the sun still shinned in only making the two figures have dark shadow silhouettes.
Butch/Cassidy: Prepare for trouble and make it double!
Cassidy: To infect the world with devastation!
Butch: To enlighten all peoples in every nation!
Cassidy: To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
Butch: To extend our wrath to the stars above!
Cassidy: Cassidy!
Butch: Butch!
Cassidy: We're Team Rocket, circling earth all day and night!
Butch: Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!
Butch/Cassidy: That's right!
Ash: What the?
Before anyone could do anything or even say anything Butch and Cassidy held up weapons that resembled a bazooka.
Butch: We got you now!
Cassidy: It's the end of the line for everyone.
They both fired and two nets flew in and netted everyone down. The end of the nets had special glue that stuck to the ground on contact making this capture flawless. In one net were Ash, Misty, and Todd, the other was Brock and Nancy.
Ash: Can't move.
Misty: Ash! Pikachu didn't get caught!
Ash looked and saw Pikachu pulling on the net trying to get it off them.
Ash: Pikachu try biting through it!
Pikachu: Pika!
Right before Pikachu start Cassidy walked over and snatched Pikachu. Pikachu tried a thunder shock but Cassidy was wearing rubber gloves.
Cassidy: No, no, no, don't even try.
Ash: Hey let go of Pikachu.
Cassidy: Was it Jessie and James after this little thing. Well I guess we'll have to claim this reward ourselves. Lets round them up!
Brock: Not without a fight!
Brock reached for his pokeball and opened it.
Brock: Geodude go! Geodude lift this net up!
Geodude grabbed onto the net and flew up with it. Brock and Nancy were free.
Brock: Geodude free Ash, Misty, and Todd too!
Just as Brock commanded he felt a swift hook from Butch, followed by a gut punch and a spinning heel kick to the side of his head. He tumbled down and felt the wind just knocked out of him.
Nancy: Brock!
Butch: Don't mess with us! Jessie and James are push overs compared to us.
Brock stood up and raised his fists. He spat and targeted Butch. Meanwhile Ash, Misty, and Todd were tending to Cassidy.
Ash: Give me back my Pikachu!
Cassidy took out a tiny weapon, looked like a gun and held it to Pikachu's head.
Cassidy: Don't try anything or you'll be one pokemon short.
Butch dodged out of Brock's hook and turn around backhand punch and tried an offense of his own. Just as he was about to knee Brock in the gut he felt his leg being grabbed and Brock looking at him with a 'I saw that move a mile a way' look. He pushed Butch which made him collide with Cassidy. Cassidy fumbled the gun and Pikachu flew out of her arms. The gun dropped to the ground and a shot fired. Everyone looked where it fired at, all they saw was Nancy holding her right shoulder in a moment of shock.
Brock: NANCY!!!!!
Seeing this an opportunity to escape Butch and Cassidy activated their rockets and jetted out of the seen with an haunting echo laugh.
Cassidy: Next time it'll be worst!
Nancy dropped to the ground holding her shoulder, she momentary looked at her palm and it was covered in blood. Brock ran up to her and looked at her shoulder. He saw the blood starting to stain her clothes.
Brock: Hang on Nancy, don't move. ASH CALL 911!!
Ash and Pikachu hurried along and ran as fast as he could. Misty and Todd stayed to watch over.
Brock: You're going to be okay Nancy, take it easy.
Minutes seemed like hours for Brock, but in a short while an ambulance arrived at the scene. Nancy was cared for by the emergency crew, Brock hopped in with Nancy. Everyone else got a ride in a police car. Once in the hospital doctors analyzed Nancy and all Brock as well as everyone else could do was wait in the waiting room.
Brock: What's going on in there! Is she going to be okay?
Misty: Relax Brock, I'm sure they're handling her wound the best they could.
Todd: Yeah, this hospital has a pretty high response time.
Brock: It's not fast enough for me!
A doctor walked into the waiting room.
Doctor: Are you all friends of Nancy Klay.
Brock quickly approached the doctor and got overly carried away and panicky.
Brock: Is she going to be okay Doc? I want to know! Now! Tell me I can take it! Does she need blood? I'll give all of mine! Just tell me if she's alright!
Misty bonked Brock over the head with her mallet and dragged him back to his seat.
Misty: Calm down Brock. Let the doctor speak.
Ash: What is the condition doctor?
Doctor: Well, the bullet wound is not as bad as you all may of thought. We removed the bullet from her and we stitched her up. She'll be perfectly fine. All she needs now is rest from the lost of blood. A day in the hospital should have her all better. She'll have to go easy on her arm though, it'll be a bit weak for a few weeks but will be perfectly fine after.
Brock sighed a relief, everything was gonna be alright.
Brock: So Doc, can we see her?
Doctor: Sure you can, once we transfer her to a room you can see her till visitor hours.
Once Nancy was transferred Brock and everyone was around her.
Brock: I'm sorry Nancy.
Nancy: That's okay Brock. Nothing you could have done. Has my parents been told?
Misty: Yeah, the doctor called them up, they'll be here in a few minutes.
Nancy: Okay good.
Brock: Team Rocket . . . I'll make them pay for this.
Nancy: Brock, don't worry. There are times when things like these happened. Just do me a favor.
Brock: Anything!
Nancy: Take care of Vulpix for me.
With her working arm Nancy reached for her belt and took out a pokeball and handed it over to Brock.
Nancy: Make sure it'll be fine, I don't think I can take care of it while I'm in the hospital.
Brock: I will.
