Author Notes: First, I want to comment on the reviewer who didn't like my
choice of Misty being a Spearow. To be honest, I don't like it either, but
it was a lack of options. I couldn't think of a pokemon that was closer to
the size of a hawk as well as how it looks. Unfortunately, Spearow was the
only one that I could think of. I might have been to be able to pick a
better one if I knew about all the stuff from Ruby/Sapphire. Anyway, I
guess that it's then my problem, but oh well. Also, I chose the characters
for minor parts that I felt would do well. I couldn't think of who owed Ash
more than Jessie, James, and Meowth. After all the times of them trying to
steal Pikachu would need to be repaid somehow. Also, even though they don't
show any real intelligence after the first episodes that they appear in, I
felt that I should give them the benefit of the doubt of being intelligent
enough to leave Team Rocket before they were drafted into Senzei's personal
army. Knowing them, they would have been killed quickly in that army. Well,
I guess that here's chapter 4.

Jared was speechless for a moment. When he tried to speak, he couldn't make a sound. His mouth worked, but he couldn't seem to speak. When he finally spoke he asked, "How would he be able to break the curse?"
"I don't know. All I know is that they would need to confront him together. I think that it would need to be to show him what he destroyed, but I don't really know. I doubt that Senzei even knows how to break the curse; except that all three need to be in the process," James replied.
Jared thought about this. He really didn't have any clue over what he should now do, although he was certain that he was going to go to Saffron city just so that he could help Ash. If anything, he would be in safe hands if the soldiers saw him. "It's a real sad thing," James comments.
"What?" Jared asks.
"Ash and Misty both live half-lives. Always together, but forever apart," James replied. "You know, some Spearows and Arcanines mate together for life." James sighed. "Senzei didn't even give them that." James paused and then finished, "Not even that."
"How long has it been like that?" Jared asked solemnly.
"I don't know. I think that it's been at least two years. Just when they were really exploring how deep their feelings went for each other. I don't know how much further they would have gone. But now, we'll never know," James said, sighed. "Anyway, Misty and Ash were already in love when Senzei first saw Misty. At that time Senzei thought that if he beat Ash she would love him. Although Senzei did beat Ash in a pokemon battle she didn't fall in love with him. He grew angrier and angrier until finally he tried to kill Ash. Their friend Brock saved Ash and that's when they started their lives of running. Unfortunately, Brock died to save his best friends. It was then that Jessie and I decided to quit Team Rocket. Meowth wasn't that far behind us either. Eventually Senzei caught up with Ash and Misty. This time Ash beat Senzei in a Pokemon battle, but at the end, Senzei somehow cursed them. Ever since then, neither has really been at peace. Senzei has even put a bounty on Arcanine pelts as well as Growlithe pelts. Neither pokemon are very common anymore. They are nearly extinct. Ash's rival, Gary, still has his Arcanine, but he is in hiding for just as long as Ash. I just hope that soon this nightmare will all be over," James finished. Jared was surprised at all the information that James told him. There really is a lot more to how Senzei came to power, Jared realized.
"Senzei loved her?" Jared asked.
"As near to love as that a**h*** could come to it," James replied. Jared began thinking this over as he wondered how the curse had been put on Ash and Misty.
Soon Jared got up and began to explore the castle. He avoided where Misty was because he wasn't certain of what would all happen. He didn't really know what to think. All he really wanted was to have his old life back. Even as he thought about that, he knew that it wasn't possible to get that back. He even wondered if he really wanted his old life back, now that he knew that he could soon start on the life of a pokemon trainer.

Senzei was having a very difficult time sleeping. Recently he had been having nightmares of the big Arcanine coming to him and killing him without any of his guards being able to stop him. Senzei woke up just as his personal bodyguard opened the door.
"Sorry, but the hunter has just arrived," his bodyguard, Eric, said.
Senzei was grateful to have any interruption to that dream that he's had the past few weeks. Though, now he knew that he would be able to have that Arcanine killed before it had a chance to attack him. Senzei smiled as he got ready to look at how the hunter would kill the Arcanine that somehow loved his woman. Soon Senzei would be able to get what rightfully was his.

Jared watched Misty as he was told to do so by Jessie. Jared wouldn't have been here otherwise. He could tell that Jessie was the type of person that he didn't want to get on their bad side. Jared was looking towards the horizon as he could tell false dawn was just about here. Jared turned in surprise when he heard Misty stirring.
Jared turned to Misty to see her trying to get up. "Don't go so quickly!" Jared cried, softly. "You might start bleeding again."
Misty slowed down a little then and soon she was in a sitting position. "So, what's your name?" Misty asked.
"Jared," came the reply.
"Hmmm," Misty said, thinking. Misty then looked at what she was wearing; or in other words, what she wasn't wearing under the blanket Jessie had left with her. "Could you leave for a moment so I could change?"
Jared nodded and left. He shut the door and waited for a few minutes. He would have waited longer, but Misty came out. Jared looked at her and saw that she was wearing a yellow shirt that came down to her belly, blue short shorts, and red suspenders. Jared tried not thinking of anything other than what they were going to do next as in on their way towards Saffron city, but a stray thought kept on creeping in on Jared.
Eventually they began to converse, but were soon stopped when they heard soldiers calling up at Meowth who was being the gatekeeper. "Let us up in the name of Senzei!"
"Okay, hold on please!" they heard Meowth cry back. "You two! Stop drinking and open the gate. Jared looked over to where Jessie and James were and saw them pouring beer on their clothes. Jared could tell that they were going for a drunken ploy. The soldiers then would think that they had been drunk and wouldn't do really anything to them because they couldn't do anything when they were drunk.
Misty came up next to him when they were acting like they were struggling to open the gate, but weren't able to because of their supposedly intoxicated state. "Break it down!" Jared heard the soldiers cry.
Jared then began directing Misty to one of the few towers that were standing. Jared could only think of getting to a place where they would be safe. However, the door was soon broken down and soldiers were streaming through. Jared knew that they had been seen as the soldiers began to charge towards the tower where they were. "Wait! Watch out for those . . ." Jared heard Meowth cry, but it was too late. Many of the soldiers had fallen into deep pits that Jared didn't even know were there. " . . .pits." Jared almost thought he heard Meowth finish lamely.
Jared didn't waste any more time as he did what he could to get Misty to run to the top of the tower which he hoped would give them a way to escape. They made it to the top, but there was a soldier right behind them. Jared gave a swift kick to the man's groin and pushed him down the stairs. Then Jared quickly shut the trapdoor on the top of the tower and began sliding the rusted lock to give them even more time. "They're after me," Jared heard Misty call out to him.
"Don't flatter yourself," Jared replied, focusing more on getting the lock into place. The main thing about the trapdoor Jared liked was that it was fresh wood and was sturdy. It wouldn't break too easily. Unfortunately, when Jared was almost done with the lock, a soldier thrust his sword up between the boards and almost sent the sword straight through Jared's head. Jared jumped back to avoid that from happening. Yet, he hadn't realized that Misty had gone behind him and Jared accidentally knocked Misty over the edge. Jared quickly grabbed her arm and tried what he could to get a firm grip.
"Don't let go," Misty pleaded. Jared knew that he didn't want to, but she was slipping out of his grasp. Jared tried tightening his grip, but it didn't have any effect. Jared didn't want to try then to loosen his grip, although he was getting cramps in his hand. Though, as Jared hears pounding on the trap door, Misty's arm keeps on slipping out of his hand. Soon he's holding her wrist and for a moment she stops slipping. Jared uses that time to gauge the distance that she could fall. Jared estimates it to be about 200 feet down to the ground from where they are. Jared hardly notices the sun beginning to crest the horizon. Finally Misty slips from Jared's grasp. As she falls Jared can only stare in horror as he sees her plummeting towards the ground. She is screaming and he hears her blood-curdling cry reverberate through his head. However, he sees in a flash her become a Spearow as the sun completely rises. Her cry melts into the shriek of the Spearow.
Jared sighs in relief that she's safe now. Jared then turns his attention to finding a place to hide from the soldiers.

Author's Notes: So, is anyone who saw the movie liking how I'm working this? If not, I do accept flames. I only accept flames because it lets me know that this was read. Even if I don't get flames, but reviews, I know that this was read; although I do prefer reviews to flames. ^_^ Anyway, I'm wondering now if I'll have six chapters. Where I ended here was where I had originally expected to end last chapter. ^_^ What irony. Anyway, please let me know what you think! And thank you for reading this fic so far!
