Dark Shadows
Part 2. Shuukai
A loud screech echoed in the air, Misty looked at the source of the yell and saw a spectacular blue Pidgeotto being attacked by a flock of Spearows. She fled from Ash and ran in the direction of the Pidgeotto, with Suicune running next to her. Ash ran over to where Rapidash was and returned her to her poke-ball, then ran in the direction Misty went.
Misty now riding Suicune, looked up at Pidgeotto and at the attacking Spearows, thinking fast. "Pidgeotto, Whirlwind."
"Pidgeeeottoo," Pidgeotto started to slowly flap her wings and then increased her speed, until the Spearows were blown against walls and knocked unconscious. The bird came flying down to land on Mistys' closed fist held above her head. Ash caught up to Misty and his mouth dropped wide open at the site of Pidgeotto, the colour of it was nothing like normal Pidgeottos. The usual pink stream of hair coming off her head was a frosty shade of light blue and white, her back, wings and tail were dark blue, with the tips of the wings dark navy blue, and the tail sprouting six long tail feathers. Pidgeottos' face and chest were pearly white, her beak and feet were shiny silver while her talons were gleaming gold.
"Misty, what happened to that Pidgeotto?" he asked.
Misty lifted Pidgeotto down to her lap and removed the cylinder case off her back before replying, "Silver Wing, is blue from being around my sisters and me too much."
Silver Wing flew up to land on Ashs' shoulder. He flinched at the motion but Misty didn't move, so he didn't comment. Misty took the lid off the container, a blue stone slid out then a poke-ball rolled out, she then reached inside, pulled out a letter, and read it.
"Hmph, figures," she commented.
"What does?" Ash asked. Misty leaned down and handed him the letter, he read it silently.
Dear, like, little sis Misty,
We, like, need your pokemon, we're being attacked again. Team Rocket wants Daisy back. So can you and any others, like, spare some pokemon? By the way Misty, you, like, left a pokemon behind so we sent him to you and a water stone so you can, like, evolve him.
Luv Daisy, Lilly and Violet
He finished and looked up at her, "So? What figures?"
Misty looked at him like she couldn't believe her ears, "That they need my help again, that's what."
"At least they only need your pokemon this time."
Misty rolled her eyes.
Another loud screeched echoed through the air followed by another and then a loud crash as bits of rubble fell, and then the sound of a fight. They both turned their heads in that direction, "Mistress, we should go and see what happened," Suicune said, Misty looked at her and nodded.
"What did she say?" Ash asked.
Misty turned and looked at Ash, "Can't you hear her?" Ash shook his head, she then looked down at Pikachu who had been silent all this time, "Can you, Pikachu?" Pikachu also shook his head. Misty then turned her gaze to Suicune, "Suicune?" she questioned.
Suicune looked at her, 'I speak inside your head, Mistress.'
"Thanks for telling me" Misty said out loud then, thought 'Can I talk to you in my head as well?'
'Yes.'
"Misty?" Ash waved his hand in front of her eyes, trying to wake her out of the trancelike mode she had gone into. "Misty, what did she say?" Misty looked at him and explained.
"Suicune said that we should check that out." She then grabbed the letter from him and put that away along with the water stone and poke-ball and Suicune jumped away. "Lets go."
"Wait, how am I supposed to travel?" Ash asked, Misty looked down at him.
"Ride Rapidash."
"I kinda can't, seeing that you blasted her into a wall". Misty frowned and pulled something out of her coat pocket and threw it across to him. Ash caught and looked at it.
"She will be fine if you use that Super Potion." With that Suicune continued to leave. Ash pulled out Rapidash's poke-ball and sent her out, she came out lying on the floor now conscious but still injured. Ash bent down to Rapidash's height and sprayed the potion in her mouth. Rapidash swallowed the liquid and jumped up full of energy and ready to go. Ash hopped on to her back, he looked up to see if Silver Wing was stable on his shoulder, and was amazed to find that she was no longer there and Pikachu was in her place. He shrugged and said "Lets go, Rapidash," and Rapidash took off after Misty.
As they were riding Misty and Suicune were having a silent conversation.
'Mistress, why didn't you tell him I talk in your head?'
'If I keep it a secret it and no one knows about it, it will come in handy.'
It was then silent.
After a while Misty broke the silence
'Suicune?' Misty waited for a response.
'Yes, Mistress?'
'Why do you call me Mistress?'
'Because you are my Mistress.'
'Can't you call me Misty, I feel like you're a slave.'
'I'm not a slave. You're just my Master, and I call you what you are, Mistress.'
Ash came round a corner and walked up to Misty. Misty was staring from atop a ledge down to the scene going on below, her eyes wide in bemusement. A large group of pokemon; wild ones being lead by Alakazam, were fighting against another large group of pokemon being commanded by Team Rocket. Team Rocket was sending out pokemon and returning others, as they were defeated, briefly ordering the newly sent out pokemon to attack.
"Blastiose, Hydro pump."
"Hitmonlee, Mega kick."
"Charizard, Fire Blast."
The list went on, and more wild pokemon were coming out of hiding places, Rattatas, Spearows, Growlithes, Meowths and many others. Ash stopped when he was next to her, "Misty what's happening?" he said, dismounting.
"The pokemon are defending them selves," she said, her eyes not moving from the scene. She watched as the wild pokemon drove off the remaining pokemon and Team Rocket. Below them a Growlithe noticed them and barked a warning to Alakazam. He turned and looked up, his eyes fixing on the two standing there next to their pokemon. He disappeared to reappear in front of them with aloud 'Ala'. They both backed up at the sight of a powerful pokemon so clearly angered at their presence, but their pokemon stayed where they were. Alakazam raised his arms in preparation to attack,
"Alakazam, stop," a new voice sounded behind them, but when Ash and Misty span around no one was there. They turned back to see that Alakazam had teleported away and was down with the pokemon, walking away.
"Mystica, Erika calls."
Ash and Misty span around once again to see a woman floating in midair, wearing a dark purple robe reaching down to her feet with straight black purple hair just past shoulder length, her arms pulled behind her.
"Sabrina…" Misty trailed off, as Sabrina interrupted her,
"Hurry, Erika needs your help" and as if reading her thoughts she added "I will meet you there," and with that said, she disappeared in a flash of white light.
Misty closed her eyes and lifted her arm up high with her fist closed tightly. "To me," her voice rang around in the air and Silver Wing appearing from no where landed on her fist. Ash walked over to Misty, "Shouldn't we go and help Erika like Sabrina said?"
"Yes, but first my sisters," and with that she pulled out the letter and pen and wrote something on the back. Misty placed all her poke-balls, besides the one she had been given, into the case along with the letter and pen. But she kept the water stone and clipped the one poke-ball onto her belt.
She then put the case on Silver Wings' back and threw her in the air with a shouted command, "To Daisy." Misty then went to Suicune and mounted her, 'we'll have to go West to reach Celadon city.'
Suicune nodded then jumped down from the ledge, leaving Ash to take the long way around.
After only an hour and a half of walking the group ran into another trio of Rockets, after a few blasts of water and a much deserved thunderbolt, they quickly left.
Half a day later, just as night was settling and the darkness was starting to loom towards them, they reached their desired destination; Celadon city, only to be greeted by a battle.
Misty searched among the many people and pokemon for Erika. Then she spotted her holding a rather long stick and fighting against an Electrabuzz, "Erika!" Erika looked up at the sound of her name, saw Misty and smiled hitting the pokemon on the head, finally rendering it unconscious. She signalled for Misty to come down, as soon as Misty reached the ground she was attacked by a group of electric pokemon. Suicune responded by blasting them with ice blasts, and they were frozen into ice statues.
"Erika, what's going on?" Misty yelled over the commotion. Erika ran over to her, "Misty help us, all the electric pokemon have gone haywire."
"And you want me to help! In case you hadn't noticed I'm all water pokemon."
"Just try," Erika yelled in desperation. Misty hopped down from Suicune and pulled out her last poke-ball throwing it in the air, "Lets see what she can do." Her poke-ball opened to reveal a small brown dog-like pokemon with white fur around her neck. "Evee!" it yelled with determination. "Eevee, use your bite attack." Eevee jumped forward and bit the closest pokemon which happened to be a Pikachu. 'Pikaa' it shouted in surprise and pain as Eevee's small teeth dug in to its yellow fur.
'Suicune, turn as many as you can into ice.'
Suicune disappeared to appear in front of a Raichu blasting it and freezing it into a statue. She than disappeared to appear in front of other unexpecting pokemon.
At the same time Ash was just defending him self, "Pikachu, thunderbolt." Pikachu charged up and shocked a leaping pokemon unconscious.
"Rapidash, Fire blast." Rapidash span around and let out a huge flame of fire shaped like a person, then let out another on some more unexpecting pokemon. Ash was doing okay with Pikachu shocking anything that came too close and Rapidash blasting them away. But despite the many hits one particular Jolteon was getting, it was still advancing slowly, even though all its comrades had fallen down, either unconscious or fainted. Rapidash was tiring fast and Pikachu's electricity was having no affect on the electric dog. Ash was running out of ideas when Suicune appeared in front and froze the Jolteon in its tracks. Suicune then disappeared as quickly as it had come.
'Mistress.' Misty heard Suicune's voice and span around looking for her 'Behind you, Mistress.' Misty looked behind her to be greeted by Suicune, 'It is done as you asked.'
"Thank you Suicune" Misty said out loud. The fighting had stopped and people were now collecting their pokemon, the electric ones as well, Misty noticed. Erika turned to her friend and hugged her.
"Thanks for coming."
"You're welcome."
"Misty, where are you?" Ash came round the corner, leading Rapidash looking for Misty; he saw her standing with a woman he didn't recognise.
She was wearing a green kimono covered in flower patterns and holding a large stick. Ash looked closely at her face she had light green eyes and black shoulder length hair being held back by a red head band, it looked familiar. He didn't think twice about it and just ran over. Eevee than choose that moment to come trotting over as well, triumph written all over her face.
"Come inside, we've probably got a meeting…" Erika stopped as Ash reached them; she looked at the intruder then questioningly at Misty. Misty looked blankly back at Erika. "Misty…"she began, "who's this handsome fellow?" Misty looked at Ash,
"Him?" she spoke with disbelief.
"Hey! That's not very nice."
"Oh… I know that voice…" Erika said slowly, Ash looked at her, it finally clicking.
"Would you prefer this one," he spoke in a weak attempt at sounding girly.
"I'm surprised Erika, you usually know everything." Erika hmphed and looked down her nose at Misty.
"No, my spies no everything besides, he's changed since the last time I saw him." Misty looked at Ash, he was handsome, she'd admit that, but he didn't look like he'd changed much.
Erika looked Ash over carefully then stared at his eyes, Ash returned the stare.
"His eyes haven't changed."
Erika turned around and led them into a building, she closed the door and made sure it was securely locked. Erika then moved forward along a hallway with many doors leading off, she then led them into a room full of people. They were all talking together sitting at long tables or on couches placed around the room.
As soon as Erika entered she struck a pose and said as loud as she could with out screaming "Look everybody it's the pokemon master!"
Nobody moved.
"Who cares?" Erika said, Ash and Misty were shocked.
Three girls moved from what they were doing, and came to greet Erika. They all were wearing green kimonos with their hands in front of them held in praying pose, they then bowed.
"Mistress Erika!"
"How are you?"
"How are your pokemon?"
Erika smiled, "I am fine and so are my pokemon, but I think my friends pokemon might be a little injured." They then turned to Misty and Ash, and bowed to them, "Do you want us to heal your pokemon?" They presented their hands in front of Ash for any poke-balls.
Ash pulled out Rapidash's ball, he had returned her to the ball when they reached the entrance, and placed it in one of the many hands. He then turned to Pikachu sitting on his shoulder, "Pikachu?" he questioned. Pikachu looked at him with an expression on his face that clearly said 'what do you think'. Ash sighed and said, "Stupid question."
Pikachu 'pika-ed' in agreement.
They then turned their attention to Misty, she spoke inside her head to Suicune, who was waiting somewhere outside, 'Suicune, do you need healing?'
'No, I am fine, Mistress'. She then pulled out a poke-ball and handed it to them, "That's it."
The girls turned to Erika, "Mistress, we shall take them to Nurse Joy." Erika nodded her head and two left while the other one stayed. Misty looked down at her feet at Eevee and Eevee looked up at her, "Eevee, go with them." Eevee obediently ran after the girls.
Erika walked forward through the people, with the remaining girl behind her leading Ash and Misty.
As they were walking Ash spoke quietly, "Misty, why did you give them that poke-ball?"
"To heal my pokemon, stupid."
"But I thought you sent all your pokemon to your sisters."
"I kept one."
"But your sisters…"
"What they don't know won't hurt them," Misty stated matter of factly.
Erika stopped as she reached a door. She turned to the girl, "Laselle-"
"Lass," the girl corrected her. Erika ignored her and continued talking,
"Do you know were Sparky is?"
"Round about."
"Well find him and bring him here as fast as you can." Lass got a little bit away before Erika spoke again.
"Hurry…Laselle." With that Lass turned around and pulled down her eye lick, poking her tongue out as well; Erika smiled and copied the action. Lass than turned and ran away. Misty smiled, Erika loved teasing Lass.
Erika changed her emotion very quickly as she opened the door and lead the two in. There was a long table with nine seats, four on each side and one at the very top, sitting at the very top was Koga. Misty turned and shut the door behind them.
"Look Koga!" Erika said loudly, "Not one experienced trainer, not two experienced trainers, but three!" she then moved taking a seat on the left, three seats away from the door, and placed her wooden stick on the table horizontally in front of her.
"I expected a different third one."
Erika pouted. Misty, used to Erika's quick personality changes, ignored her and took a seat opposite her, while Ash just stood dumbstruck at the door. Misty waved her hand at the chair next to her and Pikachu ran over, Ash following suit. He removed his back pack and sat down next to her, placing the backpack on the ground next to him.
Misty looked across at Erika "Do you know were Sparky is?"
"No, hopefully Lasselle…"
"It's LASS!" a voice interrupted her, the door then opened to reveal Lass standing there with a scowl on her face. A man about 6'2 feet wearing a dusty yellow coat, grey pants and a yellow tank top, his hair was bright yellow, stood behind Lass.
Sparky entered and sat down next to Erika, Lass then shut the door.
Koga stood up "Everybody this is Sparky, Lt. Surge's replacement for his gym. Sparky is also his nephew and one of the four Eevee brothers. Sparky this is Misty." Koga pointed at Misty "Misty is the youngest of the four sensational sisters and also the current gym leader for Cerulean City. This is Erika," he pointed at Erika "She is the gym leader of Celadon city. This is Ash and Pikachu." He said while pointing at them "They are the current Pokemon Masters. We are gathered here because Giovanni has too much control and we have to stop him. Now let the meeting begin." With that he sat down.
*************************************************************
What you think? I based Suicune on the 'Disputable dog' out of the book called 'Lireal' did any one notice? I just finished it and it was really good.
Yeah… about the name, yeah it's Japanese my cousin recommended… Yes I know it looks like a bunch of letters jammed together, but amazingly enough it means something. (You wanna know what it means it's in a Jap dictionary, same with malignant, but that's in a normal dictionary. Don't get the two confused, (that would be funny))
