Chapter four: The Iced Getaway

'

Ash looked at the ship for a while. Some people might have considered it an antique, but Ash thought it was the coolest ship he had ever seen. He looked at the word 'Bebop' written on the side, then scanned the rest of the ship.

"So, this ship called the Bebop?" He muttered to himself. "Weird name. . ." His stomach growled, and he was sure the other pokemon were as hungry as him. He turned and walked off, searching for another area to let out his pokemon.

If he had waited one second longer, he would have seen Spike and Faye walk out, looking for him. Edward followed, curious.

"Ed always wanted to see a dragon!" She peeped excitedly.

"Shut up!" Spike hissed back at her. He saw Ash walking away.

"There he goes. . ." Faye muttered. "Let's follow him."

"Following the leader!" Ed yelped, leaping over Spike and running towards Ash. Spike gave Ed a death look as he grabbed by the arm. "Will-you-be- quiet!"

Ash stopped. He thought he had heard something. He waited for a few seconds, and then kept walking.

It was then Ed ruined their plan to sneak up and grab Ash. "Hey, Ash Caaaaaaatsup! Come over here're!" She yelled.

Ash turned around. First thing he saw was a tall, lanky man with fuzzy green hair cover a pink-haired girl mouth and shout "Why you little . . ." THEN he looked over at Faye, who had her gun drawn. Ash, realizing that they were bounty hunters, turned and ran.

"ED!!" Spike and Faye yelled together. Spike dashed off towards Ash, Faye right behind him, as Ed giggled and did a somersault after them.

Ash turned hard down a corner and sped off down the street. Spike followed in pursuit. Faye slipped while turning and tumbled to the floor. As she got up, Ed dashed off in front of her, yelling "Fires and Breathings and Dragons, oh my!" "I'm gonna kill that kid." Faye muttered as she ran off towards them.

Ash ran as fast as he could, Spike at his heels. Pikachu poked his head out of the backpack, looking around curiously. When he saw Spike chasing Ash he glared angrily, sparks flying out of his cheeks.

Spike looked taken aback, but didn't stop running. "What the . . .?"

Ash noticed Pikachu, and yelled over his shoulder "Use thunderbolt, Pikachu!!"

A few minutes later, Ed and Faye ran up to find Spike struggling back to his feet, looking like Team Rocket after trying to stupidly catch Pikachu again.

"What happened to you?" Faye asked, eyebrows raised. Ed blinked. "Spike- person looks like he was electrocuted."

Spike looked at Faye. "Lets get back to the Bebop . . . he's headed for the docks, we can outrun him on our ships."

Faye nodded. "Alright, let's go."

~*~*~*

Ash stopped near the ocean, panting. Pikachu Scuttled out of the Backpack and stood on Ash's shoulder.

Ash looked around, waiting for them to come up. He knew they wouldn't give up yet. He looked around.

'I'm trapped,' He thought, 'They cornered me. They'll find me and get me easily . . . but maybe . . ."

Ash took out a pokeball, looked at it, then out at the ocean again. After a moments thought, he grabbed front of his cap and turned it so that he was wearing it backwards.

Just then, The 'Redtail' and the 'Swordfish II' soared overhead. Spike looked at Ash, puzzled. "He's not doing anything . . . stupid kid."

Faye peered at Ash, and said thru the COM link "Hey, it looks like he's wearing his hat backwards. . ."

Spike moaned. "Why the HELL does that matter??"

Ash bit his lip as the ships drew closer with incredible speed. He tossed out a pokeball. "I CHOOSE YOU, LAPRAS!" In a bright red fizz of light, Ash's Lapras appeared in the water, crying out. Spike stared in shock. Faye found it a little harder to pilot the 'Redtail'. "Spike. . ." She said timidly, "I think we've found more than we bargained for. . ."

Spike watched as Ash jumped on Lapras, then got out of dreamland. "Alright, Fairy Tales or no Fairy Tales, we have a bounty to grab. . . He's only about 11 years old, so just try to scare him."

Faye nodded and took the left side of Ash while spike took the right. Ash seemed to be surfing on top of Lapras, as he rode on her shell, his jacket flapping behind him. He saw Faye and Spike's ships and gulped. "Here we go. . ."

Spike swerved behind Ash, aimed carefully, and the next thing Ash knew a bright blue beam flew past, inches away from him. Ash shivered, then gained control of his fear. "Lapras, use Ice beam now!"

Lapras turned to Faye, and aimed carefully as she swam at the same time. Her Ice beam attack would have hit if Faye hadn't swerved out of the way- still, the side of her 'Redtail' was covered with frost.

"What the fuck was that?!?" Faye yelled.

Spike yelled back thru the COM link "I have no idea! This is crazy!"

Ash suddenly remembered something he had done to earn his first badge . . . he gulped, hoping his idea would work as a quick getaway. "Lapras, use Ice beam like we did in the race!" Lapras nodded, then used Ice beam- not at Faye or Spike, but at the ocean in front of her. She kept it up, and slid down the ice, soon far ahead of the two star ships.

Spike raised an eyebrow. "This kid isn't so bad. . ." Faye yelled back "WHO CARES?? THAT FREAK TRIED TO FREEZE MY SHIP! HE WILL PAY!"

Faye's Star Ship suddenly swayed in mid-air, not on her command though. "Uh oh . . . Spike, I'm running out of fuel, you're on your own now. . ." She withdrew and headed back to the bebop. Spike went off towards Ash at full throttle, shooting bullets at him wildly, but not really aiming at him, just trying to scare him. Ash yelled and ducked, then looked at the Star Ship flying towards him. "Pikachu, use Thunder Bolt!" Pikachu poked his head back out of Ash's backpack and used the attack. Spike yelled as the COM link shut off, the screen exploded, the engines malfunctioned and more. The 'Swordfish II' fell back, and Spike watched sadly as Ash soared off on Lapras, soon becoming a speck off in the distance.
