When we Band Together
ELP: Sorry about the miss-spelling of a name. Jesse should be Jessie. Okay, on to the next chapter! I own nothing.

Misty sighed loudly, rubbing her eyes.
" Geez, not only is it hot in here, it's muggy. Don't you have air conditioning?" Sabrina shook her head.
" No." Ken followed Sabrina into a room, the others left staring.
" Must be something psychic. Um, May I suggest going somewhere more........ Air conditioned?" Misty nodded at Jessie's comment.
" How about the Pokemon center? It's air conditioned, plus they have a few vacant rooms. We'll all stay there for the night." Ash stated. Miyako calmed down, adjusting her glasses.
" I'm up for that." Davis was still rubbing his nose, Kari and Takeru snickering at him. Ken and Sabrina came back. Ken looked different. He no longer wore the grey Tamachi uniform, but a new outfit. It was a white shirt without any sleeves, blue jean shorts, and sneakers. He also had a Pokeball on a chain around his neck, along with a silver gauntlet around his right hand and left ankle/shin. Houndour barked and leapt over to Ken, right up into his arms. Ken smiled, putting Houndour down. Wormmon was perched on his shoulder, looking happy as ever.
" Okay. We need to travel to Lavender. The rest can follow, but the only absolute necessary people are me, both former rockets, Misty, and Miyako. We need to travel up into Lavender tower. The rest can come as well. We'll rest at the Pokemon center for the night. Take a tour around the city, but be back before night fall. Try and stock up and supplies. And anything neat you see, doesn't really matter." Ken explained, using hand gestures, which drew slight attention to the gauntlet with something under it.
" Okay, whatever. Let's just get this over with..... " Miyako grumbled, skating out of the gym. Misty walked out of the gym, everyone at her heels. They all stood outside.
" I have an idea. How about we put our names in a hat, and then make groups of 2?" Kari suggested, grabbing Takeru's hat right off his head. Takeru had a bad case of hat head.
" Okay, just right your name down, fold it once, and put it in the hat." Kari quickly collected the names.
" I just shuffled them, so let's let Pikachu choose." Pikachu leapt onto Kari's shoulder, and picked the first name out of the hat. It was Kari. Then, it picked another one. It just so happened to be Takeru. This went on until the groups were made: Jesse and Miyako, Takeru and Kari, Davis and Ash, Brock and James, Misty and Ken, and Cody was added onto Davis and Ash's group, just to keep them in line. Everyone split up, agreeing to meet at the Pokemon center in 2 hours. { Okay, we'll mostly only focus on Jessie and Ken's groups, so........ BLAH!}
Misty and Ken walked down the path, looking at all the shops.
" This is pretty nice...... OH! They sell fishing stuff over here! Come on, let's go!" Misty grabbed Ken by the arm and pulled him into Brother Guru fishing shop. It was a massive fishing store. Misty awed.
" Wow! I could spend all day in here!" Ken laughed a bit, watching her out beat the store manager on fishing knowledge. Houndour was staying loyally by Ken's side, while Wormmon was guarding from above. When Miyako was finished, she had won a free Super Rod and a about 500p.
" Geez, you sure know how to reel in the cash, eh?" Ken asked, holding the door for Misty. They walked out.
" Well, I guess I'm good at it. My mum taught me...... Anyway, let's keep walking around."
Miyako and Jessie walked into a Poke Mart, looking around.
" Geez, looks like we can stock up on supplies here...." Ken and Misty walked into the store, meeting up with Jessie and Miyako.
" Hey. Looks like this would be a good store........ Okay, look for things like Antidote, Paralyze Heal, Awakening, Revive and any type of potion." Ken stated, turning and looking through the Pokeball section. Jessie got the Antidotes, Miyako got the Paralysis healings, Misty got the revives, and Ken got everything else. They paid for it, and walked back together, looking for the others at the Pokemon center. They walked into the center, which was being robbed by a rocket with an Ekans.
" Let me handle this........" Misty said dangerously, letting Staryu out.
" Staryu, stop that rocket!" She exclaimed. Staryu tackled the Ekans, and then gave him a good dosage of water. Houndour barked at the rocket, grabbing onto the back of his leg and pulling the rocket off his feet. Ken pressed his foot against the rocket's head, keeping it from moving. Jenny arrested the burglar and went off. The rest of the group flooded in, carrying supplies for themselves. Brock went gaga for Nurse Joy. Misty grabbed Brock by the ear and yanked him away.
" Keep to yourself, dork." Meanwhile, Ken was checking out 2 rooms for them. One for him, the former rockets, and anyone else, and then one for everyone who was left. Kari pulled out Takeru's hat again.
" Okay, let's draw again. This time we'll let Wormmon choose." Wormmon jumped over to the hat, and started picking out names.
" Okay, 11 of us, so one group will be made of six, one of 5. The first group will be made of five. Okay, it'll be....... Miyako, Ken, Jessie, James, and Misty. And then the rest of you will be in another group. Let's get to the rooms, it's getting very late." Wormmon stated, leaping back up onto Ken's shoulder. Everyone retired to their rooms. Jessie slumped down on the bottom bunk.
" I call this one." She stated, throwing her legs up, kicking off her boots, getting under the covers and nearly falling asleep then. James took the above bunk. Ken sat in a chair, rubbing his eyes a bit.
" Ken, you look wiped out, man." Miyako said, sitting on the bottom bunk. Ken looked up, and nodded.
" I am. I'm tired, depressed, tired, tired, tired..........." Ken dosed off in the chair, breathing lightly. Miyako rolled her eyes.
" Misty, gimme a hand moving this guy." Misty and Miyako grabbed Ken, lifting him up and throwing him onto a bed. Ken rolled onto his back, Houndour curling up beside him, resting it's head on his chest. Wormmon snuggled up beside Ken, enjoying the warmth under his arm.
" Geez, someone's got fans......." Misty giggled.
" Pokemon and Digimon are loyal to their trainers. Take that Arbok for example. It's around Jessie's neck and torso, but it would never hurt her, because it loves her. Houndour will never hurt Ken, like Hawkmon would never hurt you." Miyako nodded slightly.
" Cool. So, do you want the above bed or below?" Misty climbed up.
" Top." Miyako crawled into her bed, cuddling Hawkmon.
" Night............" The room fell silent. Pikachu silently snuck into their room, curling up beside Misty, not being able to stand the snoring of Davis and Ash put together.
In the morning, Misty thought she was first up. She quickly got dressed, making sure she was ready for another day. She walked back into the room. Ken was sitting there, already dressed, looking through an encyclopedia of Pokemon.
" Morning, friend. I'm just waiting for the others to wake up." He stated, flipping the page. Misty smiled, looking around. Jessie's arm was hanging over the side of the bed, Arbok curled around her. James was hugging Weezing like a stuffed bear. Miyako rolled off the bed, landing with a thunk. She groaned, standing up. She looked around, not having her glasses on. She stumbled around, searching for them.
" Come on, where are they......" Ken slipped the glassed on Miyako's face, waving hello.
" Good morning. Smell the bad breath of mornings, eh?" Miyako slapped Ken upside the head.
" Shut up." She exaggerated, walking into the bathroom. She came out a little less...... hostile then before.
" Me need food. Where canteen?" She said lazily, still not awake. She had brushed and neatened up, but was still tired.
" Here, have this. The only canteen they have is a vending machine with nothing but chocolate." Miyako perked up, running past Misty and the piece of toast.
" Chocolate!" She exclaimed, screeching around the corner, waking the others up. Jessie groaned, looking around. She made another groaning sound, then buried her face in Arbok's coils. James rolled off the top bunk, landing with a loud thunk.
" OW!" He exclaimed, rubbing the back of his head. Jessie pulled a mallet from nowhere and smashed him into the ground.
" You quiet. Me sleep." She mumbled, still trying to sleep. James sighed, standing up.
" I've always wondered why she was such a grump in the morning........ Oh well. I want a donut........." Ken threw him a donut, James catching it with his mouth.
" I thought someone might like one........" Miyako came running back in, her arms loaded with chocolate. She waved a bar in front of Jessie's face.
" Wake up, and smell the chocolate!" She exclaimed. Jessie looked up, snatched the chocolate with her teeth, ate it, and then tried to go back to sleep. Miyako rolled her eyes, eating more chocolate. Ken laughed.
" Okay, James, give me a hand. We'll pull Jessie out of bed. You try and coax Arbok to help." Once James got Arbok off Jessie, Ken grabbed the blanket, and pulled on it, making Jessie fall to the ground, looking around.
" Oh........ *YAWN* What time is it?" She asked, standing up. Ken smiled.
" 8 am. Okay, Misty, you've got travel clothes, and so does Miyako. Jessie, James, you guys get these on. It's a little more easier to move in. Plus, you won't be mistaken for a Rocket." Jessie changed first. She was wearing a white shirt that showed her mid-drift, a denim blue vest, some blue jean shorts, and a pair of white runners. She shook her head.
" Oye. I look like one of you guys........." Ken laughed.
" Well, now you are. James, hurry up, I want to get out of here by 8:30." James changed quickly, coming back out. He had blue jean shorts, a blue vest, a dark blue shirt, and some runners.
" Yuck. Terrible fashion, eh?" Ken rolled his eyes.
" Well, deal with it. Let's go." Miyako quickly devoured the remaining chocolate, strapped on her roller blades, and headed out the door, wondering why the sun had not risen in the town square yet.
" Okay, we'll fly. Does anyone here other then me and Ken have something to fly with?" Jessie nervously tapped her fingers together.
" No, not really. The Meowth balloon got scrambled up." Misty smiled.
" The only way I can travel is by land or sea. Sorry, I don't have anything." Ken smiled.
" Miyako, Misty and Jessie will go on Aquailamon. Me and James will go by Stingmon. Let's get going." Wormmon and Hawkmon Digivolved, becoming the powerful Stingmon and Aquailamon. Everyone leapt on, Meowth riding on Jessie's head. They took to the skies, breaking through a layer of grey clouds into a beautiful sky above, smiling wide.
" Head to Lavender!" Ken shouted, pointing to the Lavender tower, which was far in the distance. They broke through the clouds again, coming down into Lavender square. Wormmon and Hawkmon became themselves again, smiling wide. Ken started to walk to the tower, thinking about something. Misty caught up beside him.
" What are you thinking 'bout?" She asked, smiling sweetly. Ken sighed.
" I...... I just can't believe how hollow Sabrina's eyes were. I also couldn't believe how Giovanni got away..... I don't know, I'm just thinking. We have to go to the top of the tower. Trust nothing the dark spirits say. If they talk to you, don't listen. And whatever you do, do not go to the light." He stated, staring up at the large, grey building. Everyone walked in, the person at the front desk staring.
" Are you here to stop the spirits?" Ken nodded.
" Yes." The receptionist smiled wide.
" Great! I'm not sure what's disturbing them, but it's got something to do with the top of the tower, on the.......... I think it's the 13th floor, I'm not really sure. The first 9 floors are clear, it's just the last 3." Jessie paled out a bit, gulping silently. They started up the stairs, standing in the middle of Pokemon Tower. An eerie scream and moaning emitted from the staircase and floors above. Jessie and James leapt into each other's arms, looking around frightfully.
" Oh, get a room." Miyako said sarcastically, starting to walk to the staircase. Jessie and James broke apart, still staying close, hugging Meowth like a plushie. They starting up the staircase, still hearing the eerie sounds. Once they reached the 9th floor, the sounds had become much louder, booming through the corridors like thunder crashing. Ken sighed.
" Remember, don't listen to the dark spirits. If they are pitch black, then don't listen." Ken stepped onto the first step, but was sent skidding back. A spirit dropped down. It was a dead Marowak, ready to attack. Houndour barked, standing ready.
" Houndour, attack with Ember!" Houndour shot burning hot embers from it's mouth, scorching the creature. It moaned, and disappeared. Jessie and James' eyes were bugged out, and they were pale, along with Misty. Miyako trudged up the stairs, not really caring much. Everyone stepped onto the 10th floor. The room was filled with black spirits, all moaning and screaming. Ken shouted over their loud voices.
" DON'T LISTEN!!! JUST FOLLOW ME!" Ken shouted, starting to sprint towards the next staircase. The others followed, avoiding the coaxing voices of the spirits. They ran up the staircase, following Ken. Ken screeched to a halt, the others stopping as well. It was the 11th floor. The room was filled with flying tombstones, whirling around, being tossed by the spirits. Ken sighed.
" Okay, everyone grab hands. Take a deep breath. Don't let it out until the other side, or they'll start throwing stones at us. Ready, set, go!" Everyone bolted across the room, holding their breath. They let it go as soon as they entered the last staircase. They ran up, and stared forward. It was a hall, leading to a large throne at the end. They walked slowly, not encountering any spirits. Suddenly, a ghostly figure floated up from the throne. It was a woman. She had lavender hair, that went about to her waist, and deep, caramel eyes. She was wearing a white shirt, and a lavender skirt/dress. She had small, lavender shoes on. Her features were pale, and extremely soft and sad. Miyako, for the first time in the tower, faltered, taking a small step back. She had gone pale.
" Mom?" She asked weakly, barely being able to stand. Hawkmon flinched a bit, remembering what Miyako had told him about her mother. The figure outstretched her hand, pointing to something. Everyone followed her finger. A Marowak statue had been moved. It was pure gold with a crown on it. Ken, James and Misty grabbed it, hauling it over to the throne. Miyako, Jessie and the figure stared as the statue was placed on the throne. The sun finally rose. The light came through a window, shining into the Marowak's crystal eyes. It reflected, bouncing off a mirror that was hung at the end of the hall, and bounced through all the mirrors. They were all strategically placed, so the light flew through the whole tower. The figure smiled wide. It touched hands with Miyako, but it's hand only went through.
" Thank you........" It whispered, slowly floating back to the throne. Miyako chase after it, stopping in front of the throne, watching the figure sink down into floor. She nearly collapsed, putting a hand on her forehead weakly. Ken caught her, realizing that she had fainted.
" She just fainted. Let's get down to the Pokemon Center. I'm sure the others would have caught up by now." He stated, carrying Miyako down the many staircases. They went to the Pokemon Center, and stared at the other Digidestined and trainers. Cody looked furious.
" I knew you were up to something........" Ken simply laughed at Cody's fury.
" Of course. If we hadn't gotten to the tower before the sun rose, we would never have been able to stop the rebellion of spirits. A statue had been moved in the tower. We simply put it back." Ken explained, placing Miyako down in a chair. She snapped awake.
" I can't believe I fainted..... Oh well. Now what do we have to do?" She said, still a bit shaky from the incident. Ken smiled.
" We have to travel to Cerulean. I need to speak to an old friend. If we fly again, we should arrive by Nightfall. Step lively, now." Ken stated, walking out of the Center. Pikachu once again kicked Cody, quickly jumping back onto Ash's shoulder. Cody grumbled, plunking down onto Armadillomon. Jessie and James looked up at the sky.
" Are you sure it's safe to fly again? I mean, that was quite a freaky incident, if you ask me." James stated. Ken smiled, and laughed.
" Of course. I trust my Digimon with my life. Now, let's get going." They quickly took to the skies, letting out a whoop. They traveled over Saffron, then they turned right, already being able to see Cerulean gym. Misty sighed.
" Great. I have to see my sisters again......." Jessie smiled.
" Well, think of it this way........ You won't be seeing them everyday, either." Miyako blinked.
" I hate my sisters. They bite, they scratch, they steal boyfriends, they scheme, and they laugh like demented idiots, such as Davis." Miyako stated, shuddering at the thought of her sisters. They landed in Cerulean square, Misty's sisters staring at them. Misty rolled her eyes.
" Great, the Beauty Queens......" Ken walked over to them.
" Excuse me. I'm looking for the Cerulean gym leader, Master Sumi Hana Oki. Could you direct me there, please?" The sisters, and Misty, stared at him.
" Like, Mom went to find something on, like, Nami Island, and like, never came back." Daisy stated, pointing to the west.
" And like, the only way to get across the water is to part it. But like, we haven't figured out how to do that. She like, said she taught only one of us. But like, we can't figure out who." Misty blinked.
" I'll show you where, Ken. Come on, let's go." The 3 sisters stared at Misty as she ushered her friends to the sea side. For some reason, no one was on the water.
" Why isn't anyone fishing? It seems like a great day to fish." Meowth stated. Misty sighed.
" If anyone but a relative of Sumi Hana Oki touches the water, it becomes violent, creating a terrible storm. That's why everyone only fishes in the Naoko sea, where the water doesn't go violent. The Youma sea is always deserted because of the curse." Ken blinked.
" So, do you know any relatives of Master Oki?" Misty looked down.
" I'm her daughter. I'll part the sea. Just, don't touch the water. But first, I need to get a few things from home." They all walked away from the sea side, following Misty. They entered a small house. Misty used a small key, and opened a chest, pulling out a few seemingly useless things. A coral, spiral flute like thing, a Coral Staff, a blue sapphire, a ruby, and a silver necklace. The Coral staff, at the very top, had a gold eye embedded into it. She locked the chest again, and they returned to the sea side. Misty popped the ruby and the sapphire into small cavities in the necklace, and stood tall.
" Okay, get ready to run. It'll hold for a while, or until someone touches the water. Okay, ready......." The staff glew brightly, the seas following it's golden color. But, suddenly, the sea was turned into a different color. One side was ruby red, one was sapphire blue. A silver and gold beam stretched from the staff, cutting the two colors in half. The sea flung into 2 parts, high into the air, creating a path that lead straight to Nami island. The staff continued to glow. The little group took off, running quickly. The leapt up onto the island, the water crashing down behind them. Jessie and James stared, slack-jawed.
" How did you?" They asked simultaneously. Meowth rolled his eyes, speaking in his lisp.
" Don't you get it? She's the daughta of Master Oki, ruler of water. That means she's got da power of water. you guys are dense....." Meowth explained, sharpening his claws. Misty nodded.
" Meowth is right. My mom is the Master of water. That's why I wanted to become a water trainer, just like her. But, she's still much more powerful then I." Misty stated, smiling a bit.
" Okay. Let's find Master Oki. I need to speak to her." They started to walk off. They came to a pretty obvious place. In the middle of the beach island, was a large coral, with a doorway. Beside it was 2 statues: One of a Blastoise and one of the Cascade badge. Misty sighed.
" This must be where mom is. She has a Blastoise. Let's go in, she should be there..........."

ELP: CLIFFIE! Actually, the only reason I am stopping is because my hands are going numb from the cold.
Sammy: R&R!
