Chapter 7

Misty screamed.

Pain like none she had ever experienced before was throbbing through her. Muscle screaming she dropped to the floor.

"Misty!" Ash was at her side in a second.

Misty was crying.

"Pikachupi pika Pikachu!" Cascade said encouragingly.

"It doesn't…feel like its gonna stop!" Misty managed through gritted teeth.

The pain eventually died away, but the memory was still fresh in Misty's mind.

"Is that it? There's no more right?" She asked squeakily.

"I thinks there's gonna be a lot more Misty. We better get you to a doctor." Ash helped Misty off the floor. This time she didn't refuse his help.

"More?" Her voice was small. Ash was surprised, was this the first time Misty had really been afraid?

"I know a Pokémon doctor, we can go there!" Ash pulled out Pidgeot's Pokéball.

"Wait, a Pokémon doctor? But I'm not a Pokémon!" Misty leant against the cave wall.

"Don't worry. Most Pokémon and humans are basically the same when they give birth!" Ash said cheerfully.

"I feel so much better now!"

Ash called his Pidgeot out.

"Pidgeot can you fly us to the docks?" Ash asked. The Pokémon nodded.

Ash helped Misty climb on Pidgeot's back and, with their Pikachus and Kingchu; they took off towards the dock.

"Ash can I ask why we're going to the dock?" Misty asked.

"Sure."

Misty sighed, "Why are we going to the dock Ash?"

"The Professor owns an island off the docks, we can catch a ship there!" Ash explained.

"Why don't we just fly there?"

"Well… because of Team Rocket the Professor has a strict security system. Anything that enters the air or water space around the island with out a special pass is blown up by a mutated Pokémon the professor created once."

"Sounds like a mad professor to me!" Misty mumbled.

***

They landed on the docks and proceeded to look for a ship heading to the island.

"Please let us come with you!" Ash pleaded.

"No!" Jenny said flatly, "We don't allow spies to the island!"

"We're not spies, I'm a good friend of the professor's!" Ash insisted.

"What's your names then?" Jenny eyed him suspiciously.

"A-Satoshi and, err, Kasumi!" Ash lied.

"Never heard of you!" Jenny started climbing the plank to her ship.

"You have to take us! My…wife," He stressed the word under Misty's gaze, "Is going into labour!"

As if to prove the point another contraction decided to hit Misty. She scream and fell to her knees. No other pain like it.

Jenny's gaze became softer for a moment but Jenny shook it off.

"I can't let you come." She insisted sadly.

"But if we don't come with you we'll be destroyed by Missingno!" Ash argued.

"How do you know about Missingno?!" Jenny asked in shock.

"I've been to the island before please let us go!" Ash explained

Jenny nodded and helped Misty get on board. The ship left as soon as Jenny pulled up the boarding-plank. Misty and Ash stood at the front of the ship with their Pokémon while the crew hurried back and forth across the ship.

"Kinda' feels like home huh?" Misty smiled; the pain had gone now, for the moment.

"Yeah." Ash nodded in agreement.

The island in the distance came closer.

"Hey A-Satoshi!" Jenny called, "We're coming into Missingno territory!"

Ash and Pikachu shivered, Misty looked up at them.

"What's Missingno?" She asked.

"The mutated Pokémon that guards the island."

"What's wrong then? Didn't you say this ship could get past it?" Misty asked.

"Yeah but…you see, the Pokémon can't be caught, I have never seen how the professor keeps it under control." Ash admitted.

"What?" Misty shouted, "I would have preferred my chances with Team Rocket than a stray un-catchable Pokémon! Still at least Cascade can protect me!"

"Err, heh, actually Missingno is immortal, it can't get hurt." Ash sweatdropped.

A crewman that was listening to their conversation jumped.

"What!"

Jenny eyed them again. The water around the ship stirred, slowly at first but it got faster and more violent.

"Missingno!" Jenny shouted.

A huge grey-black thing rose out of the water. It could only be described as mist, evil mist. Misty tried to identify its shape, even gas Pokémon had a basic shape, something that held it together but this Pokémon had nothing.

"MISSSSSSSSS" It hissed moving towards the ship.

The crewmen that overheard them freaked out as the mist came closer.

"Shit, Jenny do something!" He ordered.

Jenny didn't move. The mist came closer.

"MISSSSSSSSS"

The freaked out crewman threw out a Pokémon.

"Go Machop!" He ordered, "Destroy that thing! Strength!"

"NO!" Jenny called but it was to late. Misty and Ash fled from the front of the ship as the gas floated onto the deck.

"Machop!" The Machop declared. It threw itself at the Missingno. It hit with all its force. Misty expected it to go straight through but it bounced back as if the whole of the gas was solid.

"MISSSSSS" The black gas quickly crept over the Machop. The Machop screamed, a human scream, as the mist smothered its body, as if the simple touch of the gas burned.

"No Machop!" The crewman ran forward and tried to pull his Pokémon from Missingno's grip. The gas smothered him as well.

The screams we almost unbearable. Pure pain.

Finally Missingno backed away from the crewman and his Pokémon, or what was left of them.

Misty could hardly bare to look. When she had killed the victim hadn't ever been in that much pain, a simple freeze maybe a little torture, but this was horrid. Parts of flesh and bone had been completely melted away and what was left had been burned black. The skulls of both the human and Pokémon were showing in parts, the eyes sockets totally empty. And yet the crewman's arm was still moving as if he was still alive.

"What now?"

Missingno crept closer.



Missingno! I couldn't thing of a decent guard Pokémon that could kill easily so I used the infamous Missingno, game crasher extraordinaire. Sorry about how long it took to write this but I joined an RPG that is taking up most of my time. Lake-eerie, a wild Pokémon RPG. I will try to finish this soon but it may take a while.

Yes, I know that the cover names were there Japanese counterparts! That's why I used them.

If you liked this you know what to do… REVIEW!!!!!!

Who will die next? Yep a lot more death coming up!

Until I write again

Stay Blissy
