Of Bread and Nights

Ash caught up with Misty fast enough, but seeing her fume with rage as the triple-cheese-octopus-pizza sandwich being flown about by a filthy bird wasn't a very safe thing to do, especially when "a hungry man is a mad man". (Misty: I'M A GIRL, FREAK.)

When the dark pokemon stopped at last, Misty came screeching to a halt (Brock was left behind at Misty's mercy)
Ash was right behind, followed by pikachu.

"Give me back my food!" Misty demanded at the bottom of the tree.
"Misty, did you notice we're lost?"
"I don't care, I want my food!" She yelped.
"Maybe pikachu can help?" Brock wheezed, catching up at last.
"Good idea. Pikachu, thundershock!"

"Fajito, mirror move."

The lightning bolt bounced off the mirror and headed straight back for pikachu, who only managed to sidestep it in time. But no-one asked Ash to stand there.

"YAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" He shouted in agony while the electrical attack took toll.

*Sorry about that, Ash*

This time round, all three humans heard it.
"Show yourself!" Brock commanded.

Out from the shadows stepped a girl about Ash's age. Her long black bangs blew around carelessly, revealing cold blue eyes, her black braids a great contrast to her brown vest, aside from her jet black clothing. Next to her was a houndoom.

"Who're you?" Misty managed to blurt out, forgetting her hunger for a little while.
"Ilona Wolfe, where I come from does not matter to you," she said in a monotonous voice, bowing as she did so.
"How'd you know my name?" Ash asked suspiciously.
"The trees have ears," she said, still in that expressionless tone. The murkrow fluttered down and dropped the sandwich before being stroked.

*Yours?* Ilona handed the sandwich back.
"Why don't you talk?" Brock asked. Togepi giggled.

Ilona walked over to Misty and tickled Togepi on his horns.
*When I telepatate, I am more... expressionable?* Then she burst into a fit of psychic laughter, though only a slight smile was evident on her face.
*C'mon, I'll take you to the nearest pokemon center, they have lotsa food there!*

She barked to the houndoom and cawed at the murkrow before setting off.
Seeing that the group were still standing there, she winked at Ash.
*I don't bite y'know. And I'll treat you to the food, take this as my way of saying sorry for electrifying you.*
With that, she disappeared into the darkness.

"Wait up!"
"Pi Pikachu!" Pikachu squealed happily.
"Wait Ash, I wanna finish the sandwich!"
"Who cares about the sandwich?"
"I DO! I MADE IT!"

And the gang started quarelling once more, much to the amusement of you, my audience. (Unless you're not amused? -_-)
