Kidnapped!!

By Speed Demon



Ash groaned and yawned deeply. "Wake up, Pikachu! Wake up Mist! It's time to get going."

Ash heard Pikachu rustle in his sleeping bag like always, but an unusual silence emanated from Misty's sleeping bag.

"Misty! I said it's time to get up!" Ash said, waiting for the usual "Shut up" or "Go awaaay, I'm sleeping!". Still nothing.



Ash rolled over. "Mist-" He stopped suddenly, staring at her empty sleeping bag crumpled on the ground. A small slip of paper rested on top. Ash struggled out of his bag, leaving behind a very grumpy Pikachu.

"Pikaaaaaaaaaaaa…" Pikachu started to yell at Ash, but stopped as soon as he saw his face. Ash looked like he'd just been hit by a truck.

"No," He whispered. "No, no, no, no, * no *"

"Pi?"

"Misty's been kidnapped," Ash said slowly. "And the only way to get her back is to give up all of my Pokemon, even you."

"CHU?! Pika kachu chu! Pi chu ka ka kachu!"

"Yeah, I know that it's crazy. Apparently they're part of Team Rocket. It says here that if I get the authorities involved, they'll cut off the "negotiations" and I'll never see Mist again."

"Chuuuuuuuuu…"

"I don't know what to do!" Tears were forming in his eyes. Pikachu noticed that his trainer was trembling violently. Ash collapsed to the ground, sobbing. Pikachu patted his shoulder comfortingly as Ash continued to cry.

A/N: Sorry I made Ash so emotional, but (at least I think) when the person you love most disappears suddenly and you might never see them again, you tend to get emotional. Also, I'm sorry that this chapter is very short again. -_-

Next Chapter: The Rockets receive a call from Giovanni, and what is Nathan up to? ^_^
