A.N. well I think there should be some romance soon I'm not sure though the stupid story wont listen to me and is going its own way, rude huh?! Oh by the way I've decided to do as in robotech (good story read it) and always put a little thingy at the top of the story! OHHH and thanks for the reviews!! (I got 2!!!) I feel special.

Chapter 7 The Banned

I got to admit I was scared spitless when Misty killed Fritz but even that was a distant event for it did not pertain 'directly' to me it didn't happen to me if you will. So maybe that was the difference when she killed Fritz than when all of the citizens of Pewter stepped out of the shadows to kill us, and the only possible way to escape was Brock. But even all of that didn't scare me as much as when I realized Brock had set up the ambush to kill us I guess that's when it got personal.
Recollections by Ash Ketchum

Once again Ash didn't want to open his eyes the room smelled of lemons and other citrus fruit used in cleaning detergents. The room was dimly lit or more aptly there was a small sliver of light coming through some medium sized shudders but to ash it was bright as day due to his new eyes which had changed just like his ears and somewhat enhanced nose.

He didn't know what had happened in Pewter all he remembered was as he was passing out all of the towns people bursting into pieces and a small drop of white blood falling to the ground right in front of him and then blackness.

A slight rustling to the side totally inaudible to a normal ear alerted him of soon to be visitors.

Four people walked in Loriel, Lt. Surge, Sabrina, and of course Lance. Each of them were the same as they were the last time he saw them but something was different something that made his head fell somewhat fuzzy.

"Ah so the little one is awake I see!" Surge said laughing at nothing.

"Shut up Private Surge." Loriel said happy to once again get under his skin. For her little comment she was awarded a look from Surge that would have burned her if looks could kill.

"Lance? Loriel? Surge? SABRINA???" Ash said getting more and more incredulous as he finished.

"Not who you were expecting ehh?" Lance questioned with a small smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"No duh." Ash replied bluntly.

All of them burst out laughing at the obvious answer.

Giving them a glare Ash turned away trying to think.

"So you killed the towns folk?" Ash said finally remembering what had been nagging at him.

"No. that would be. Slayer." Sabrina informed him hesitantly "errr. I gotta go." She finished and disappeared.

"Well I'll go check on the other one." Loriel smiled to herself.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Surge yelled at her retreating form.

She gestured back.

"THAT wasn't very lady-like!" Surge laughed.

"Now down to business." Lance said seriously.

Two figures where setting by a shinning brook and the smell of mould hung lightly in the air.

"Why Slayer I thought you were dead. again." One of them said removing his hood to show a slightly aged face with much life left in it.

"DON'T call me that." The other one replied sweetly leaving his hood on.

"Oh then what should I call you? Robin Hood?" He questioned.

A snarl was heard from the hood but before he could say anything a pair of arms rapped around him a voice whispered "I call him many things. What one do you want?"

"DON'T TELL HIM THOSE!!!" the hooded one screeched shattering the primordial silence.

"So nice to see you Sabrina. Errr. Cant think of any I want right now but if you think of a good one before you sleep tonight tell me ok?" the old one said digging into 'Slayers' skin even more.

"We'll stay up for a while tonight I'll think of something then." Sabrina smiled looking at the hooded one expectantly.

"YOU TWO HAVE NO SHAME!!" he shrieked as he jumped into the night.

"I better go find him and 'apologize'" she disappeared with the last word filled with expectation.

"Ahhh young love." the old man sighed as he stretched out on the small bank to watch the stars.

After a long and boring talk (Ash thought it was) they were now going to meet up with Misty and Loriel.

As they approached a wall and were showing no signs of stopping or turning. Ash began to wonder what he and Misty had gotten themselves into.

After walking through the wall which, gave Ash heart spasms, they found themselves in a small room with one door on the other side.

In the middle of the room was a small table with six chairs around it and in two of the chairs were a very rumpled looking duo with lipstick all over there faces.

"For some reason Mist I never thought your taste was the same as mine." Ash shook his head as he sat down.

A slight blush of anger or embarrassment crept up her cheeks and she pulled out her mallet.

As Ash flew by Surge he turned to Loriel. "Do you have to ignore all advice I give you?"

"ENOUGH!" Lance said punctuating every syllable.

"Sorry BOSS!" Surge laughed making it quite obvious that he was no such thing.

"We have to decide what to do." Lance snarled at the large man.

"Its obvious isn't it?" Surge asked starting to wonder what Lance was getting at "We need someone to train us."

"Yes but it gets complex you see the only one who can train us now is. him." Lance sighed and started to rub his temples.

"Ohhh.. Well we have no choice do we?" Surge said less than thrilled now.

"No none, so when Sabrina gets back she can rescue him and we'll start training." Lance said looking up at the group. Misty and Loriel who were looking lovy dovy at each other, Ash who was stumbling around totally out of it and last, Surge the only one who was even here.

"Well there is one good thing about this group." Surge said as if reading his friend's mind, "We always get what we want!"

A.N. Guess there was a little romance ehh? Well R & R k?
