C. Cowboy: like that cliffhanger? Well, I'm not that evil so I won't make you wait to see what happened. So here we go. R&R!
CHAPTER 16: Dark Days Begin
"Just… make it quick… you know I never liked pain…" Misty said looking up at Ash tears going down her face. Ash's red eyes began keep getting lighter and lighter, as he watched her cry. "Goodbye Ash," Misty said closing her eyes, "I'll always love you." The energy blast then was just about to leave Ash's hand as his eyes went wide, "MISTY! NO!" he yelled as he jerked his hand away from Misty and aimed the blast into his chest. It hit dead on, and sent him flying backwards.
"ASH!" Misty yelled running to his side, picking his upper body into her lap, and lightly placing her hand over the bloody spot on his chest, "Ash, please say something!" Ash groaned and slowly opened his eyes, and Misty smiled when she stared into his chocolate brown eyes. He then weakly gripped her hand, "I… I do…" his head then slumped down and his body went limp.
"My God…" Misty then looks up to see Leo's shocked face, which then formed a smile, "HE'S BACK!! WHOO HOO!!!"
"ARE YOU NUTS?" Star asked from her setting position because he knocked her down running through the door, "Isn't sanity really just a one trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is the one trick--rational thinking-- but when you're good and crazy, the sky is the limit!!" Star rubbed her forehead, "Idiot." She then saw Misty cradling Ash. "Is he still alive?" Leo and Jimmy then got to Ash's side, "yeah he's still alive, barely." Jimmy said "We have to get him to a doctor, now!" Jimmy and Leo then started to pick up Ash's body when they saw Duplica staring above their heads. "What is… it…" Leo said seeing what she was looking at; a large portal in the sky. "We better get going, while the getting's good, but nobody panic." Jimmy said picking up the pace.
They all started toward the when they heard something land on the roof behind them. Where do you think you are taking my servant? They then slowly looked behind them and saw something that struck fear in their hearts. I do not believe we have met, I have been known as Destroyah, but you may call me Master. "Ok… now we panic." Leo said dragging Ash and Jimmy toward the door followed by the girls, Destroyah then teleported between them and the door. They came to a screeching halt, "Not good" Star said out loud. Where do you think you are going my friends? Destroyah said with a smirk. Then an energy blast hit Destroyah in the side knocking him down. GO! GET OUT OF HERE NOW! Mew yelled as he shot another blast at the monster. With out even looking back the others shot toward the door carrying Ash.
They made it down and out of the tower in record time, and looked back up and saw the fire fight. Togetic and Pikachu met them at the bottom and glared at Ash's body in Jimmy and Leo's arms. And nodded for Togetic to teleport them to safety.
Once Mew dodged Destroyah's attacks, and tried as many attacks as he could, but he was only keeping him occupied. Once he sent they got away, he looked at Destroyah and sent one more blast send him back. Until we meet again, old friend. Mew said escaping himself. Destroyah smiled and looked around. This world is now mine for the taking. He said to himself taking to the air. He then looked down at the tower, and smiled, I think I'll have a little fun he then sent a blast at it's base, send the newly reconstructed tower to the ground.
SOME TIME LATER…
"Pi. Pi Chu." Ash heard this and slowly opened his eyes. "P-Pikachu?" Ash asked looking at the small yellow figure on his chest. "Is that you, Pikachu?" Ash asked, letting his eyes focus. Once they did he realized it wasn't Pikachu, but a little Pichu, a bit smaller then most Pichus, it had bright friendly eyes, and one floppy ear, not unlike Pikachu. When the little one saw the still form he was setting on was watching him he slightly freaked and sent a few dozen volts through Ash causing him to scream out and fall of his small bed. "ASH!" A familiar voice called out, "You're awake!" Ash opened his eyes to see Misty right next to him, looking concerned. "Mist? What's going on?" without another word she wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him tight. "Pichu! Pichu!" the Pichu yelled happily jumping up and down, before Misty patted its head. "Ash, meet Peaker, Peaker, meet Ash." Ash looked confused but patted the little Pichu's head, "Where'd he come from?" Ash asked, "He's the youngest of Pikachu and Kurai's litter." Ash almost freaked, "WAAA? How long have I've been out?" Misty looked away, before looking back sadly, "Ash… you've been in a coma for almost five months."
TO BE CONTINUED…
C. Cowboy: Short, I know, but with my school and work schedule, count your blessings, Heehee. Anyway, what all has happened? What else has Destroyah done? And how will Pikachu take Ash's return? Find out next time. And remember patients is a virtue.
