The One

~ Part 5; Escape~

(Still other things POV)

I watched the Misty girl call out the Pigeot and hope on her with great haste, bringing the boy with her. "Come on Ash…" She murmured.

"Let's go Pigeot!" Misty shouted.

How that – or any other pokemon for that matter – can carry humans is beyond me. How would you like someone riding on your back?

Misty sighed and began to talk to herself (Weird human habit) "Why Ash? Why'd you save me? You're supposed to be the chosen one! So why save ME?" The girl bit her lip in frustration. Time for me to show my wonderful talents!

~

(Normal POV)

  She could only run. No time for eating, No time for the bathroom, no time for stopping. She HAD to get there! What if something happened just because she wasn't there to warn people? What if it had already happened? It would all be her fault! She bit her lip and willed herself to keep going as fast as her legs would carry her.

~

Misty was riding Pigeot, eyes on the road intently. She just HAD to get to the pokemon center on time! What was wrong with Ash?

  A pokemon center came into view. Maybe Nurse Joy could help!

Pigeot came to a halt and dropped misty and Ash off in front of the pokemon center. Barely remembering to return Pigeot, she ran into the pokemon center carrying Ash.

"Please! Nurse Joy! You have to help Ash!"

Nurse Joy looked up from the magazine she was reading and gasped. "What happened?"

"I don't know! Just please help him!"

Nurse Joy nodded vigorously and called Chansey over. "Chansey, please take this boy into a room, I want to see if he's ok."

"Chansey! ((Got it!))

Nurse Joy turned to the shaking Misty. "Do you need help?" Misty shook her head. Nurse Joy gently laid a hand on her shoulder and said, "go outside and get some fresh air dear, I'll tell you when you can see him."

"But-"

"Don't worry! We've got some expert pokemon on it right now!"

Misty was hesitant, but Nurse Joy knew what she was talking about, right?

She walked outside and walked in an empty meadow for a while. The chirping sounds of the pokemon and the gentle breeze seemed to calm her. She took in a deep breath and silently prayed that Ash was ok. Last time she checked, he was breathing. But she still felt that something was wrong.

She plopped herself on the grass and looked down, trying to find something amusing on the ground to keep her mind off of Ash.

She suddenly snapped her head up and listened. The pokemon, they were going louder and louder, while the breeze was so strong it could knock her over, but at the same time it was almost gentle like, trying to calm her and hug her in it's warm embrace. Silly huh? Misty thought so at first. She suddenly noticed where the wind seemed to gather in one spot. She gasped in surprise. It was, it was, shimmering! Suddenly as broad as daylight, she could begin to see a pair of ocean blue eyes stare curiously at her.

"I hope their ok!" Brock stated.

He and the others that were left behind were walking back to the pokemon center.

"Man!" Gary groaned. "Why did I let her use my Pigeot? I don't want to walk to the pokemon center! Do any of you have flying pokemon we could use? Anyone?"

Everyone looked at him, slightly annoyed.

"How could you think of yourself at a time like this?" Ritchie snapped.

"Pika! Pika-Pi pikachu cha pi chu PIKA?! Pikachu pika! ((Right! Pika-Pi could he really hurt and your worried about YOUR FEET?! You're supposed to be used to walking!))"

Gary only blinked at Pikachu. Ritchie nodded in agreement,, while Sparky let out an annoyed 'Pika!'

Togetic and the rest of misty and Ash's pokemon trailed beyond in their own conversation or laughing at the funny humans.

Pikachu left Sparky and Brock and moved back with the other pokemon to chat with Togetic. "Pikachu? ((How are you?))"

"Why?"

"Pikachu Pika! Pi Pika, Pikachu chu pika! Pikachu! ((About what just happened! I have to admit, you kinda freaking me out. Why are you not fazed.))"

Togetic shrugged and looked at Pikachu. "'Tis the curse of a physic pokemon"

"PIKACHU? ((WHAT IS?))"

"Knowing everything that is going to happen, just, knowing."

  Pikachu eyes his little friend. He looked into Togetic's eyes and noticed that his eyes gave it all away. Togetic pretty much knew about most things that were to happen. But he didn't ant to know. He was still a young pokemon! Yet, because of his evolution into a physic pokemon, his innocence was taken from him.

  "Pipipi…" Pikachu started.

"Bulba! ((Pikachu!))"

Bulbasaur called. Pikachu hopped over to his old friend.

"Pika? ((What?))"

(Ok, Pokemon talk is off, this Pokemon are talking in human for now)

"I was just thinking,"

"About…"

"About what happened. I have a funny feeling about this…"

Pikachu only nodded as his mind began to wander off at what happened.

(Flashback)

(Pikachu's POV)

All of us watched Pikachupi speed off with Pika-Pi on Pigeot, Gary crying over his pokemon and whining something about walking. I just shook my head and angrily turned to the majestic ice and thunder pokemon with my cheeks crackling with electricity.

  "PIKA! PIKACHU CHU PIKACHUPI?! ((YOU! WHY'D YOU TRY TO HURT PIKACHUPI?))"

The bird turned to me and said, pointing to Team Rocket. "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRTICUNO!! ((I wasn't aiming for 'Pikachupi,' I was aiming for These three imbeciles! Why would I try and attack the mistress?))"

"Pika? ((Mistress?))"

"ARRRRRR! ((NOW GO!))"

"Pi- ((Bu-))"

"ARRRR! ((GOOOO!))" The cave shook from the majestic birds mighty roar. I narrowed my eyes but turned to leave. As much as I want to get back for Pika-Pi and PikachuPi, I'm really not in the mood to mess with a legendary pokemon.

"What?" Brock asked. Poor Brock couldn't understand pokemon too well."

Team Rocket backed away nervously, they knew Articuno was aiming for them. "Bird gayl here says dat we should go, and I'm all for dat!" Meowth cried running full speed out of the cave.

Brock and Ritchie returned their pokemon and started to go out with Pika-Pi and PikachuPi pokemon following.

"Come on Gary!" Brock cried.

"ARRRRRRRRRR! ((GO NOW!))" Articuno yelled, throwing an ice beam at Gary, but fortunately, missing intentionally. "No way! I want to catch these birds!"

"ZAAAAAAAAAP! ((Go or we won't miss!))"

Knowing Zapdos, (known as the cranky one) is one to keep his word, I pushed Gary out. Pika-Pi saved him for some reason, and he's not going to get frozen today!

"PIKA! ((RUN!))"

Gary noticed that they weren't lying (Finally) And ran out with me trailing behind.

(End Flashback)

(Normal POV & Pokemon talk on)

The pokemon stopped their conversations and looked at the humans arguing. Well, actually, it was one in particular…

"I;M NOT MOVING AN INCH WITHOUT A RIDE! I'm a prized pokemon trainer and I deserve better traveling." Gary folded his arms and plopped right on the ground glaring at Brock and Ritchie. "I'm not moving an inch!"

Ritchie had had enough. "

"Gooooo!" He called out throwing a poke'ball.

He winked at Brock and Brock nodded, winking back and throwing a poke'ball.

Gary got up and smiled smugly. "See! I knew you'd see it my way!"

"Free! ((Hi all!))"

"Dude. ((Howdy.))"

Gary's face cocked in confusion. "What's this?"

"Happy, sleep powder."

"WAAAaaaazZzZzZz"

Both Brock and Ritchie sighed in relief.

"Geodude, would you mind carrying Gary?"

"Dude. ((Nope.))"

"Thanks Geodude!"

OK! So did you like it? I hope so! I know, I didn't answer who that mysterious pokemon is yet, but at least I gave some sort of hint, right? Please review!

P.S. Gameguardianx7, is this ok? I hope so! Feel free to e-mail me! Please?
