Ok, last chappy in the story. I'd like to thank and dedicate this to all my reviewers, espicially to my friend, Rowena's Raven, who can't com e on and update her stories coz she's movin', which means no computer. Welp, here's the chappy.

WARNING: Character death in this chappy.

Charter Six - Captured Soul

As Ash, Misty and Pikachu raced through the house away from the skeletons chasing them, a Misdereavus appeared next to the skeleton at the front. [Get the boy, you know what to do...] It said with a grin before fading away into thin air.

"Misty watch it!" Ash said, pushing her down and narrowly dodging an axe that had flown through the air at them. He quickly pulled her to her feet again, forcing her forward. He knew he was pushing her a little to hard, but what choice did he have?

Suddenly, a boney hand reached forwards and grabbed Ash's arm, pulling him back and pinning him to the wall. He watched in horror a a shining blade raised above him.

"PIKACHU!"

And electric attack surged through him for a few seconds before the skeleton before him turned to dust and the attack stopped. Saying a quick thank you to Pikachu, they continued on. A dagger flew passed Ash's faces, cutting a thin line in his face.

"Ash, what are we going to do!" Misty yelled back, terror on her face. "There's no way out." She mumbled as she looked out the window at the end of the corridor, tears of fear briming in her eyes. "It's all over..."

Ash looked out the window and then back at the skeletons, who were walking slowly towards them. He once again looked out the window and narrowed his eyes. "We'll have to jump..."

"PIKA?!"

"WHAT!?" Misty said right after Pikachu. "But Ash, we're on the top floor, we might not survive."

"Our chances arn't much better here," Ash said, graqbbing her hand and holding Pikachu in his other arm. "Now let's go!" With a few steps back and a fast-paced run, Ash leapt out the window, crashing through the glass and began falling. He quickly turned so his back was facing the ground and held Misty and Pikachu too him, doing his best to protect them from the fall.

Suddenly, the world seemed to go in slow motion. Ash thought he felt a hand grab the back of his head, and it felt like he soul was being taken from his body, slowly but surely. The last thing he heard before he blacked out with an evil laugh...of a Haunter.

He soul really was being taken, but the Haunter promised, it would be returned.

But it was when it was returned that was the problem...

Ash opened his eyes slowly, groaning and holding his head as he did so. He tried to strech his arm up, but it hit something soft, and sort of silkey. He felt along the low ceiling with confusion, as the material continued down the walls beside him, on either side. His eyes suddenly grew wide, and he slammed on the the ceiling, panicking as his oxygen supply was begining to run out and he felt pressure on his lungs. "Let me out!" He yelled as loud as he could, but coughed heavily. "Please..." He whispered as his vision went blurry.

"Pika?" Pikachu twitched his ears and looked at the ground in confusion.

"What's the matter Pikachu?" Misty asked through sobs, her voice dull. She was wearing all black, and the weather matched her feelings, dark and cold.

Pikachu's ears lowered and he shook his head, tears once again falling from his eyes. [Nothing, I was just hearing things...] He mumbled, staring at the gravestone in front of him.

Ash Ketchum
Aged 14

Misty shut her eyes tight and let the tears flow. "Ash..."

"Misty..." Ash whispered as he relieved himself of his last breath, hearing the maniacal laughter of the ghost Pokémon around him.
