Chapter Three- Trusting Strangers

Ash fell to the floor he quickly stood up and brushed himself off. He looked around it was very foggy. He could barely see. He looked around and directly ahead he saw a figure in a cape hunched over something.

He walked up to the figure, and was about to speak when the figure turned towards him. Now ash could see his face, it was rough looking and there was a giant scar on the right cheek. One eye was all white and the other had a stare that made your inside cold. He started to speak; his voice was deep and raspy.

"aaahh Ash I knew I would come across you again someday." "How do you know my name?" "I've known you forever don't you remember me? "No" "I am a great friend of your father." "He is dead now," "Yes that was a shame, I was there." "What? Tell me what happened." "You have to do me a favor first." "What why?" "I need you to get me out of hear, the master of this mansion has imprisoned me hear for internity for no reason and you need to go and get her red gem on her necklace and break it." "Why should I?" "You want answers about your father right? Then you will help me." "That's it that's all I need to do?" "Yes now hurry, there is not much time." "Why? What is going to happen?"

But the man in the cape had turned around and disappeared. Ash turned around too and started walking towards the way he fell in he pressed his hands against the fog and soon he fell back in to the hallway. He looked around for his friends but they were gone, he walked down the hallway careful not to touch the walls.

"Why should I trust that man" ash thought to himself." because he knows how your father died" said his conscience. But his gut was giving him a different feeling one of extreme hunger. He finally found a staircase and he went down the stairs. When he got to the landing and look around he saw that he was in the kitchen. He walked over to a refrigerator looking thing but it was laying on its side. Ash opened the door and looked in, it was filled with lemons.

"Lemons?! What sane person has a refrigerator filled with lemons?" Ash said questingly too no one. "An Insane one is the answer to your question." Said a female voice.

Ash turned around quickly and he came face to face with a teenage girl with bright red pigtails. She was wearing a long black cape and a red tank top. She was also wearing black capries with zippers everywhere with a bright blue sparkly belt, and black boots with three huge buckles. She was also wearing a studded bracelet but what caught ash's attention was the silver chain with a red gem at the end.

"Who are you?" asked Ash "I am Pheyer I am the worlds greatest pokemon trainer!" she said rather proudly. "Umm sure." "Really, any ways, I want to know what you are doing in my kitchen." "Why do you have nothing but Lemons in your Fridge?" "Why do you where the same clothes every day?" "Cause I cant fit that much in my book bag! Anyways how do you know I don't?" "Cause you smell ash, really bad, hey there is a shower down the hallway to the left in the green door." "How do you know my name?" "Umm because my little friend over there has your bag." She pointed to the houndoom who had just walked through the door. "And where are my pokemon!!!" "They are resting and getting ready for our battle, duh, now go get a shower so you don't smell up my house any more."

And with that she turned around and walked out the door, the houndoom dropped ash's bag at his feet and then followed his master out the door. Then Ash walked down the hallway to the green door and got a shower.
