The One
~ Part 2; Reunion ~
She was running through the forest for all she was worth. She absolutely had to get to them before it was too late. She felt as though the fate of the world was on her shoulders! And in a way it almost was! If she didn't get there in time, history and the future could be altered forever. One person made that difference, and if she didn't warn that person. There would be no one left to save the world.
~.
Ash and his friends could only stare in awe and watch as the majestic bird passed over them. After that, an unmistakable cold settled in, even in the middle of July.
"Why was Articuno here?" Misty managed to squeak out.
"I don't know and I don't care! I'm going to catch her!" Yep, Ash was back to his old self. And Misty sighed "You would." She mumbled to herself.
"Ash, isn't that a little dangerous?" Brock questioned.
"Brock's right, Ash, Articuno would just go out and show herself to the whole world without a good reason! And it has to be pretty good too!" Misty added, "Besides Ash, it's too cold, we should go find shelter or something."
"Aw come on! Do you know what a rare case it is for THE Articuno to come out and for us to see it?"
Ash stared at his best friends with puppy dog eyes.
Brock remained firm.
Misty shut her eyes tight. Who could resist those puppy eyes? Certainly not her!
No! Misty! Just don't look at his eyes and everything will be ok!
"Hey Misty?"
Misty opened her aqua-green eyes to met Ash's eyes.
Ash's cute, adorable, chocolate, puppy dog brown eyes with those cute stars in and eyes shaking.
"AGH! Ok, we can go, but if you get hurt Ash Ketchum! Don't blame us! And if we see it, I want to get a chance to capture her too!"
Brock turned to Misty with an amused face.
Misty just shrugged. "What?"
"Technacly, it would be your fault."
"How?"
"You were the deciding vote."
"Um…"
"Uh-huh. Maybe my puppy eyes will work on you if I tell ask you if we can see Nurse Joy."
"Absolutely not."
"Oh? And why him?"
"Uh, b-because this is a special occasion!"
Brock just smirked and said, "Riiiight. OW!"
Misty snarled and walked away leaving Brock to rub his sore head.
"Hey Misty," Ash asked.
"What?"
"Do you wanna race?"
"You're on!"
Brock heard something short of the sound of an torus stampead, so he turned around to see, but was only to be twirled around by Ash and Misty running fast beside him. He whirled around in dizziness and plopped on the ground, swirly eyed.
~
After race, (which Misty won) Ash and Misty panted leaning on a tree and waited a while before Brock and Pikachu finally managed to catch up.
They'd been following Articuno for some time when someone popped out of the bushes.
"Hey! That's a nice Pikachu you've got there! I bet mine's better! Wanna battle?"
Ash immdiatly agreed. (Of course)
"Great, one on one. Go!" The boy cried, his Pikachu hoping onto the battle field.
"You too Pikachu!"
"PIKA! ((ALRIGHT!))" ~ Ash's Pikachu
"Pikachu pika Pikachu! ((Prepare to be burnt!))" ~ Boy's Pikachu
"Quick attack!" The boy yelled.
"Pikachu, agility!"
Ash's Pikachu ran circles around the boy's.
"PIKACHU! ((HOLD STILL!))"
"Pikachu! ((IN your dreams!))"
"Alright Pikachu!"
Both Pikachus were breathing hard, running themselves till they were out of breathe.
"THUNDERBOLT!" Both trainers cried.
The two Pikachu charged up and released a powerful thunderbolt. Together, it coounted as a thunder attack.
Ash's Pikachu had the advantage by being at a hire level. So, all the electricity ran into the other Pikachu.
"Alright Piakchu!" Pikachu ran tiredly to Ash and inot his awaiting arms.
"Sparky! Are you ok?" The boy ran to his Pikachu.
Everyone looked at the boy.
"Richie?" Ash started.
Richie looked up in surprise. "Who – Ash!"
"Pikachu! ((Hi Sparky!))"
"Pika! ((Hi!))" Sparky weakly called from Richie's arms.
'Do you want to borrow one of my super potions Richie?"
"No, that's ok, I have a max potion in my bag."
He took his book bag of and sprayed Pikachu.
"Pikachu, Pika? ((How are you feeling, Sparky?))"
"Pika! ((Great!))" He did Richie's pose. (Whatever that is)
"Well, then I suppose your looking for Articuno, like I am." Richie guessed.
"Yep!" Ash was interrupted by a loud *Ahem*
"Oh, sorry, you remember Misty and Brock, right?"
"Yea! I don't think I ever really met you,"
He looked at Misty for a while then pointed at her. "Say, Ash, is that's that the one you said you – mmph!"
Ash quickly covered his mouth and laughed nervously. "Yep! That's the one I um, owe, um, I owe her the bike!" Whew! Nice save Ketchum! I can't believe richie was about to spill my secret, good thing I thought of a good excu-
"Hey! That's right! You DO still owe me a bike!"
Oops!
"Um…" Ash backed away nervously.
Misty brought out her mallet and began to chase Ash around the forest were they had been traveling.
Richie and Brock sweat-dropped.
"Are they always like this?"
"Yep, every day."
"*Pika.* ((*sigh*))" Pikachu sighed one of those mushroom things.
"OOOOOOW!"
Misty came calmly walking back.
A few minutes later, a crumpled Ash followed.
"Are we going to go or not Ash?" Misty asked.
Ash said nothing but glared and walked ahead of her.
"Pikachu. ((I guess so.))" Pikachu shrugged his shoulders and answered Misty's question.
Misty sighed in annoyance and walked behind him followed by Richie and Brock. All of them noticing it was getting colder.
~
Our heroes and heroine had been walking for a while.
Ash and Richie related stories about their resent travels and what they intended to do once they got to Articuno – or any other legendry birds for that matter.
Pikachu and Sparky also shared their tales of battles they'd had. Most f the time they exagerated. But the other never noticed. They just kept telling stories, most likely to outdo the other.
Brock walked in front of them all looking at the map, trying his best to desifer where they were – or where they we going.
Misty was the last person trailing behind. She started out near the front, but began walking slower and fell behind. IN her daydreams, she dreamed about her dream life. You know, the usual. Water master, husband, and who is that lucky husband you ask? Ash of course! Who else? But the point is that Misty was falling slightly behind. While Togepi slept peacfully in his mother's arms.
Pikachu took a break from showing of to Sparky and was the forst one to notice Misty's lacking. "Pi Pikachupi! Pikachu pika. Pika-pi pika pikachu pika Chu pika! Pikachu pika Pikachu chu pi? ((Hey Pikachupi! You better come a little faster! Pika-pi is ready to catch Articuno! Didn't you want to catch Articuno too?))"
Misty snapped out of her day dream and was about to answer when –
"PIKACHUPI PIKACHU! ((PIKACHUPI LOOK OUT!))"
Everyone turned around by Pikachu's sudden outburst and noticed with horror that something was coming up behind Misty, coming up fast! Very fast!
"AGH!" Misty screamed, paralized form fear.
Everyone dove for cover - except Ash. Ash found himself torn from saving himself or saving Misty.
He quickly made his decision.
Misty could only stare at the in coming dust storm. Suddenly, in the nick of time, she felt someone push her out of the way, once the dust storm had passed, everyone looked around to see fo Misty had made it ok.
Everyone's fear was soon turned in to a surpressed laughter.
There, on the side of the road, was a dust covered Ash, covering Misty, who was almost clean her self for Ash had saved her. (Togepi of course managed to stay in Misty's arms the whole time)
"Are you ok, Misty?"
Misty smiled warmly at ash, her innermost dreams were coming true.
Ash gulped and looked Misty in the eyes. She really can be beautiful… Ash gulped and leaned in for a kiss when they heard a soft "Awwwwwww"
Ash and Misty snapped there heads and looked at a grinning Richie, Brock, Pikachu, and Sparky.
"No! No! No! Don't mind us!" They grinned motioning for them to get back the way they were.
Ash was about to make a comment when a could of dust came again, this one was slower though and came to a complete top in fromt of Ash and misty.
"So! If it isn't the loser and Misty! Why don't you dump this jerk and come with me!"
"Gary." Ash growled.
"Go away Gary! You were the one who almost got me killed!"
Gary looked surprised. "Me? I would never harm you! Me and my Pigeot were just trying to get to Articuno first, that's all!"
"Riiight." Misty rolled her eyes.
"Hey! We're going to Articuno too!" Ash said.
"Yea, but I'm going top get there first!"
"Hey!" Gary and Ash both turned to see Richie walk up and point to Gary. "Aren't you the one who lost in the fourth round at the pokemon league?"
Gary blinked I recognision, then growled. "Yeah? So? That doesn't mean I'm that bad! It was those cheerleaders who took my cosintration. Besides, I'm much better now! See you losers later!"
Gary got back on his Pigeot and flew away.
"Gr! I have to get there first!"
Ash ran after gary with more power than he knew he had.
"Ash, wait!" Misty called out to him.
Ash's friends and Piakchu quickly followed Ash.
~
They ran for another 15 minutes or so before stopping about a five minute walk from a cave.
"Ash *gasp* we *pant* HAVE *Weez* to stop *cough*!" Brock managed to cough out.
Richie, Pikachu, Misty, and Sparky could only nod their heads in agreement.
Ash nodded, himself slightly tired turned back to the direction of the cave.
"I'll be there Gary, just wait!" He growled.
Suddenly, the cold air got horribly colder and a terrible scream filled the air.
All their eyes filled with terror – they recognized that scream – and it came from the cave.
"Gary!"
