A.N. Like I said before sorry for the short chapters but the prologue and # 1 where actually the same one just cut into two parts. Any ways they say separation makes the heart grow fonder hopefully it'll make your little reviewers hearts so. And reviews will be appreciated even minor ones would be. Now the moment you've all been waiting for. THE DISCLIAMER!!!

Disc: No I don't own pokemon k? Got it? Answer me!

Chapter 2 Out of the Ways

As the three companions stepped out of the mirrored depths of the room a slight crack was heard as if glass had just fractured.

As they turned there were cobwebs racing to the edges of the mirror door tinny and insubstantial cracks and after a second the door shuddered and a shattered into a fine fog that slowly drifted away.

"Wow, that's weird!" Brock said somewhat stunned the other two nodded in agreement.

After standing there for a second staring at a small dirt path where the door had been they turned and headed into the small and peaceful town of Pallet.

"They made it through the Ways I see."

"Yes indeed they did."

"It would have been much simpler if they had just died there."

"Yes it would have."

"What about the other one?"

"Unfortunately he did too"

"Damn."

Mrs. Ketchum was out sweeping the sidewalk in front of her house when she saw three figures slowly trudge towards it.

Quickly she put down the broom and ran out to meet them as the walked in.

She immediately grabbed Ash cloak and all and continued to suffocate him in a hug of pure relief.

Chuckling to themselves as the convinced Delia to put poor Ash down to breath they shot nervous glances at each other silently asking 'how we gonna explain it to her?'.

Unfortunately they didn't get the chance to as Ms. Ketchum got a chance look in the hood and promptly fainted.

A figure in dark blue pants a black shirt with a green vest slowly walked down a now vacant street in the rain.

As he blinked away the newly formed tears that were slowly seeping into his neon green reptilian eyes every time he recalled what had happened when he got back to his house.

~~~flashback~~~

After stepping out of the mirror door it had shattered into fog. After walking 4 miles in the rain he finally stood on his houses front steeps. The doorbell rang a long low chord that could echo to every part of the house slowly the door opened and a long shaft of light fell not only onto the porch but also on the shinning reptilian eyes and red skin of the boy standing there.

~~~end flashback~~~

As he walked under a street light many bruises and cuts became apparent. They had not been receptive to there son "the Freak" as they had called him when he had been tossed in a gutter a few blocks away nearly unconscious from the pain.

Slow tentative footsteps reached his ears and a voice slightly quaking called "Fritz?" when the boy looked over his shoulder he suddenly tripped for behind him stood his girlfriend Nakita Thomas.

+++

The rain pounded down on the metal rough of the small apartment echoing in every room thousands of little plip plips.

Fritz sat there wearing only a pair of old shorts that he had in his bag while Nakita put on the last Gauss wrap.

"So ya gonna tell me what happened?" She asked giving his back a solid slap causing him to sit up very strait.

"Guess I have to." After telling her all that had happened he concluded by saying

"I'm goin' to Pallet because I heard while I was eavesdropping that there are two others and that they were going to go there."

"In that case I'll give you a ride anything to get out of Cerulean."

"Thanks a bunch Niki!" he said vehemently and with that they were off!

+++

After finally getting Ms. Ketchum in a bed they went down stairs for a drink and to cool off.

After a moments silence Ash started "Well now wh."

Suddenly there was a crash and three objects slammed onto the floor in the kitchen with a sickening "THWAP".

In the renewed silence a few moans where heard from the people on the floor one was covered totally by debris and the other one was a pretty 15 year old girl while the weird pokemon just laid there.

Suddenly recognition dawned in Misty's eyes "Nakita!" she yelled and rushed forward.
