Whoa! I got another chapter out ALREADY!! Betcha none of you saw this
coming! Two chapters in like, two days. And this one is about eight pages
long! Go me! I stayed up all night to finish it. I hope I get a lot of
reviews for this. I'm hoping for 100.
Disclaimer: If I owned pokemon, I'd have the best laptop computer money could buy. Instead I'm using a mean, old, cranky, possessed one my brother gave me when he got a new one. So all things considered, I think it's obvious I don't own it.
Ash charged the Hydra sword drawn. The Hydra swung one of her claws, but Ash nimbly jumped over it, bringing his sword down and cutting open the palm. The Hydra roared, all three heads coming at Ash at once. Raikou leaped for the left head, while Zapdos dove for the right. Ash swung his sword just as Pikachu let lose a devastating Thunder attack at the middle head. The combined force cut off the head, causing it to fall into the water and dissolve. Raikou's mighty jaws and claws cut through the left head, and the force of Zapdos's fall, drove his beak straight through the right head's neck. The body fell with a loud bam!
"That was easy" Ash said, turning away from the Hydra to face Raikou and Zapdos.
"Great thunder attack Pikachu!"
Uh, Ash? Raikou said.
"Pika chu chi?" Really? thanks!
Ash Zapdos said urgently.
"Yep, that thunder attack and my sword cut that head straight off!"
ASH! Both Zapdos and Raikou yelled.
"What?" Ash asked annoyed.
Look behind you! Raikou told him pointing.
"Huh?" Ash turned around to see the Hydra's body standing up. It was wiggling around. Then suddenly nine heads sprouted out of it! The heads looked at each other, grinning, then roared at the startled Ash and co.
Uh-oh Raikou stated. There was no time for a response as the Hydra charged them.
******************************************************************
"AAAAAAAA" Ash screamed, chopping heads franticly. Raikou, Zapdos, and Pikachu were in a frenzy with electric and physical attacks, trying to protect Ash, but with every head cut off, three more sprouted out of the body.
Maybe we should stopped with the whole, head thing Zapdos panted, sending a electric shock at one of the sixty something heads.
Ya think? Raikou retorted, franticly dodging teeth.
"What else can we-"
"PPIIIIIIKAAAAAA!" LOOK OUT! Pikachu yelled. Five heads were going straight towards Ash! With a cry, Zapdos dove, grabbing Ash in his talons, and pulling up. The heads ran into each other, causing them to scream in rage. Suddenly, about half of the heads, focused their attention on the bird and the boy. Zapdos used all of his flying skills, dodging teeth, claws, and tongues. His mind concerned on one thing. Keeping Ash safe. Then one of the heads came up from behind, knocking into Zapdos and causing him to drop Ash, right onto the Hydras back! Ash dug his sword into the Hydras flesh. The Hydra bucked and kicked in agony.
"Keep the heads busy!" Ash yelled as he hung onto his sword as if his life depended on it. Because it did. If he let go, he'd be flung off and ram into the very hard cave wall. If one of those heads came back for him, he'd be deader then a Sandshrew crossing the freeway at rush hour. Raikou slashed, bit, and shocked for all he was worth, Zapdos flung himself into the middle of the heads, clawing and shrieking, and Pikachu was using agility, as he raced in, around, and up necks and heads. Then Zapdos had an idea.
Ash! Focus all your energy into the sword! he called out.
"What!? Why?" Ash yelled still holding on.
Just focus your energy into the sword and picture it flooding through the it and into the Hydra! Do it NOW!
Ash closed his eyes and pictured Raikou, Zapdos, and Pikachu, fighting for their lives, and for his life. He thought of Demon and Shadow, laughing at him. But most of all, he thought of Misty, lying there, unconscious. All his anger flooded out of in and into the sword. Then the sword let it all out in a tidal wave of energy. The Hydra screamed, a bright light forming in her chest, then the energy exploded in her, causing the Hydra to blast into pieces from the inside out. Ash was flung off, but Raikou leaped and caught him in his teeth. Zapdos landed wearily, shaking himself and flinging pieces of hydra every where.
UUUUUUG! he shouted in disgust. Pikachu followed Zapdos's example, shaking himself vigorously. Raikou and Ash landed in the lake, washing away all traces of Hydra off them. Ash swam to shore and ran back into the cave. One thought on his mind. Misty. He found her laying next to Togipi who was still trying to wake his mother up. No one was awake.
******************************************************************
"Why isn't she awake? They said the spell would be broken once the Hydra was defeated!" Ash shouted at Raikou and Zapdos, as he cradled Misty's head in his lap.
"Pika-pi…" Ash… Pikachu's ears drooped a little when he saw Ash and Misty in such states.
Raikou sadly knelt by his sister as Zapdos stood by his.
Obviously they were lieing Zapdos snapped, angry at the world. Raikou nuzzled Suicune's face then looked up thoughtfully.
They shouldn't be under as deep a spell as Articuno. Misty wasn't fully connected with her yet, so there for, neither was Suicune. he looked thoughtfully at Ash, then turned to Zapdos.
Maybe he could try to call her back? Zapdos looked at Raikou with hope in his eyes.
You're right! But… he turned to Ash,
This is high level magic that can only work if the caller truly loves the person he's calling to. He must believe fully in himself and in her. Do you think you can do it Ash? Ash nodded, determination in his eyes.
"I'd do anything for Misty"
Okay Zapdos nodded I'll coach you through this. Close your eyes Ash complied.
Now think of Misty, your most vivid memory of her Ash thought of the night they confessed their love. How the moonlight shown on her face, making her glow like the angel he believed she was.
think of that memory, and look for a tie, a connection between yourself and Misty. Not a physical one, but one that exists only between soul mates. Then call to her, and bring her back!
Ash searched through the darkness, finding what looked like in his mind's eye, a line coming from his heart, connecting to Misty's. He grasped that tie, and called out to her.
******************************************************************
:Misty? Misty where are you?:
:….Ash? are you there?: her voice was faint and far away. But it was there!
:Misty! Yes it's me!:
:Oh Ash! Where are you? It's so dark…..:
Ash concentrated on the line, his thoughts only on Misty.
:I'm here Misty! Please come back to me!:
:Ash? Ash!: her voice was nearer. Ash 's heart surged with hope.
:Misty! Come to me! Please Mist, find your way back to me!: Misty followed the sound of his voice, franticly looking for her one and only love. Suddenly they found each other, colliding in a flash of yellow and blue.
******************************************************************
Ash opened his eyes, and looked down at Misty. Misty stirred and her eyes fluttered open. She smiled at Ash, wrapping her arms around his neck as he leaned down for a kiss. Behind him, Suicune had stood up rather abruptly, knocking Raikou, who had been standing rather anxiously over her, down and making him hit his head rather hard on the cave floor. Pikachu couldn't help but laugh. Suicune shook herself and yawned.
What happened? she asked.
Raikou slowly stood, rubbing his head and filled Suicune and Misty, (who had broken away from Ash for air) on what had happened. Misty picked up Togipi hugging the little pokemon to her.
"Togi prrrriiiii" he said happily. Then everyone's joy was broken by Zapdos's cry of despair.
She still hasn't woken! It was true. Articuno had not stirred.
******************************************************************
They all stood around Articuno. Well, every one but Misty stood. She was kneeling by the ice bird, touching Articuno's cheek softly.
"How can we get her to wake up?" Misty asked, looking up at the group.
Raikou, Suicune, and Zapdos looked at each other, conferring.
We don't think Articuno's really asleep….. Suicune told them thoughtfully.
"What do you mean? Isn't it obvious?" Ash asked confused. In all outward appearance, Articuno did look like she was asleep. Zapdos shook his head.
Articuno is one of us! A legendary pokemon, and the most powerful Ice pokemon alive! She just couldn't be rendered helpless just by a sleep spell!
We think Raikou continued, that Articuno is locked away some where in her mind. Her consciousness blocked from controlling her body.
"How'd you come up with that?" Ash wanted to know.
When I went got affected by the spell, it wasn't like falling asleep Suicune told him, more like I was in a semi-conscious. Like a dream you can't get out of Misty nodded in agreement. That's how it felt to her to.
"So how do we bring her back?" Misty wanted to know.
We think if you call her, she will come Zapdos told Misty. She always did put loyalty and love to the Water Queen higher than anything else. he added. Misty bit her lip.
"but….I don't know how" she faltered looking away. Ash touched her shoulder.
"You can do it Misty, I know you can!"
"Pika!"
"Togi!" Misty nodded.
"If you guys think I can do it then…" she took a deep breath.
"I'll try."
She'll need a lifeline. Some one to anchor her to the real world. We don't know how powerful, this spell can be. We don't want her to be sucked up in it. Suicune pointed out. Ash automatically volunteered.
"What do I have to do?"
Just talk to her, make her stay with us Raikou explained. Ash nodded and sat besides Misty, taking her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Ready"
******************************************************************
Misty closed her eyes. Taking slow, deep breaths. She reached out her mind toward Articuno. She could feel her. She was very close.
"I feel her…." Misty's voice sounded sleepy and distant.
"Where are you?" Ash asked, keeping the grip on her hand.
"I don't know….it's very blue, and it's kinda cold…." Misty replied.
She must be in Articuno's consciousness Raikou whispered.
Shhhhhhhhh! Suicune and Zapdos both replied.
"She's near, but she's trapped. She can't get out…."
"Try to find out where she is." Ash told her.
Misty was silent for a while. The Ash asked.
"Misty? Where are you now?"
"There's a wall….it's black and purple. It clashes with all the blue…." Misty's voice sounded puzzled.
"Is Articuno on the other side of the wall?" Ash asked her. Misty nodded.
"Yes, I can feel her over there." Ash thought for a moment, then asked,
"Is there anyway around it?" Misty went silent again, then said.
"No. No matter which way I go, the wall extends that way." Ash looked over at the legendary pokemon. They nodded.
"If you can't go around it, then you're going to have to go through it."
******************************************************************
Misty summoned up her power and mentally pushed at the wall. It trembled a little, then held firm.
"It's not working…" she told her audience.
Let me add my strength to yours Suicune said. Misty felt Suicune's power mix with her own. Again, she pushed at the wall. The wall trembled more, but still held firm.
"Nope…" she said to them. Waiting to see what they thought. Then she felt Raikou's, Zapdos's, Ash's, and even Pikachu's and little Togipi's strength all pour into her. The pokemon had connected to Suicune, and then to her. Ash had connected to her directly, pouring all his love and strength into her. Misty used all the power of her friends to slam against the wall. At first, it almost seemed as if it worked. The wall started to tumble, then collapse in on it's self. Then Misty was shot with such over whelming pain that she wasn't sure if she screamed, blacked out, or what. All she knew was the pain. And then…..she felt another power, and she was slowly incased in a barrier of ice.
******************************************************************
Ash could feel the wall breaking, and he almost shouted in joy. Then his joy was quickly replaced by horror, as Misty let out an ear-piercing scream that tore at his heart. Ash had no idea what to do. No idea how to stop whatever Misty was going through. He had never felt so helpless in his life.
******************************************************************
Misty didn't know what was happening. All she knew was that the pain was going away, all she cared about at that moment was that the pain was going away. Misty felt something like feathers wrap around her, then a voice in her head said.
Do not fear, my lady.
Then she was being lifted up, and out. Back to her body.
******************************************************************
Ash was just about to yell at Suicune to do something, when Misty stopped screaming, and fell limp in his arms. Then before he could even try to figure out whether that was good or bad sign, Misty opened her eyes at the same time Articuno opened hers. They stared at each other for a moment, then they bonded.
Please review! Come on! I'm so close to 100! It'd make me soooo happy if I got 100 reviews. *Does big puppy eyes* Please?

Please review! Come on! I'm so close to 100! It'd make me soooo happy if I got 100 reviews. *Does big puppy eyes* Please?
