Disclaimer: I do not own anything at all, let alone Bebop and Pokemon.
Author's Note: This is a short chapter, sorry about that . . . it's basically the aftermath of Ash's getaway, and even a little preview of the next thing that's going to happen . . . Mwuahaha, and I am so evil, making you wait to see what happens every other chapter.
Chapter six: Going to Earth
'
"Can you believe it??" Ash asked Annie as he flipped the 'Closed' sign so that it said 'Open' to those passing by. "I TOLD you I can take care of myself. . ."
Annie smiled. She didn't know that Spike had been the one chasing Ash, only that bounty hunters have chased him and he had managed to escape them. Ash had come back after feeding his pokemon in order to 'help' Annie out again, like he had promised.
"I'm just glad your okay." She said, still smiling. "I wouldn't want anything to happen to my best co worker, not to mention the greatest Pokemon Trainer I know. . ."
"I'm the ONLY trainer you know, Annie."
"Well, that makes you a lot more important."
Ash smiled back. "Thanks . . . say, Annie, do you know of a place I could stay? I usually go off and sleep in a dark alleyway, but since bounty hunters are looking for me now. . ."
Annie chuckled. "I see what you mean. Well, I can't think of anywhere, I'm afraid. You'll manage though."
Ash shrugged, and then looked down at his shoes. The Store was open, but as long as no one came, he'd still be able to talk with her.
"Do you think they'll call off my bounty eventually?"
Annie shrugged. "Only one way to find out." She turned on a TV hanging just above her head. It fizzed for a bit, then it showed 'Big Shot'. Ash sat on a stool and watched curiously.
The day's 'Hot News' wasn't so pleasing for Ash. "Ash was seen riding on a giant whale this morning, leaving a trail of ice behind him. Better catch him now, bounty hunters, 'cuz now the price is DOULBE!!!!" Lights blinked in the background reading 'DOUBLE', and Annie turned off the TV.
"They won't be forgetting you anytime soon . . . any more stunts like that and who knows what might happen . . ."
Ash sighed, rolling a pokeball on the counter boredly. "I guess I should run then. That way they won't be able to find me. If I stay in one place they'll track me down easier"
Annie sighed. "I'm afraid so."
There was moment of silence. Ash took off his cap and wiped sweat off of his forehead. More silence.
"A-Annie?" Ash asked. "Do you know how I could get to earth?"
Annie smiled. "I can buy you tickets for the next ship ride there. Why do you want to go there?"
"Earth is probably the best place to hide." Ash said, as if he had been thinking about it for hours. "Besides, I want to. . . I need to find out if you're right, Annie."
There was another long pause. Finally, Ash broke the silence once again. "I'll pay for some of the ticket. It's my trip we're talking about anyway."
Annie shrugged. "It won't make much of a difference. After all, I'm the one who gave you all the Woo Longs you have."
Ash shrugged. "You have a point. . ."
Someone came into the store at that moment. Ash quickly put away his pokeball. "I'll call the spaceport and see when there next ship fly's to Earth." Said Annie. She turned on the radio and got out her phone.
Ash got down from the stool to find the three stooges looking at the magazines.
"Excuse me, young lad," Croaked one of them, "But do you know where the 'Old Grandpa' Comics are?"
Ash shook his head. "I haven't heard of them, but they're probably somewhere back here . . ."
TwoMinutes~*~*~*Later
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPONED TO YOUR SHIPS???" Jet yelled when he saw the massive wreckages.
Spike was still looking pretty bruised from both thunder attacks from Pikachu. He even had a band-aid right over his eyebrow. "I wish I could answer that Jet. But basically, our asses were kicked by an above average kid." Faye's Redtail wasn't so badly damaged, until the frost on the side melted and got into of the ship. Well, am sure we all know what happens when electricity meets water.
Spike could barely remember how he got his ship back on the Bebop. It was still sizzling from Pikachu's electric charge, and his hair was more wild than ever, if possible.
"I can't believe this!" Jet shouted. He groaned. "I guess you guys want me to fix them up, huh?"
"That would be great, Jet," Faye said, shivering slightly from the cold of her ship, "I want to get that little midget for this . . . I could have gotten completely frozen for the second time in my life!"
"And I was almost killed too!" Spike said angrily. "That yellow radioactive rat stopped me from grabbing Ash twice!"
"The turtle is worse! It knocked my engines and made a leak in my fuel tank!"
"Quiet!" Snapped Jet. "I get the point! Go complain somewhere else!"
Ed suddenly came into the room. "The Wizard is going to Earth!" She cried "he boughty boughty ticket tickly!" She had obviously done her usual hacking to find out this information, with didn't surprise Faye Spike or Jet at all.
"Wizard?" Asked Jet. Spike shrugged. "I guess that's what they'd consider Ash. . ."
"Who cares what he's known as?" Faye butted in.
"Did ya see 'Big shot' today?" Asked Ed goofily, "They doubled his reward! He's now up for 160,000.000 Woo longs, Oohlala!"
"That's good money," Jet agreed, "But do we have to? You guys are going to end up fried by that dragon of his. . ."
Spike shrugged. "No other bounties are that big, and besides, that friggen' kid owes us."
11Hours~*~*~*Later
Shita walked out of the room, head bowed down. She looked at her feet as she walked down the hallway of 'The Red Dragon' headquarters.
'Why do the elders want us to chase after a boy and his creatures?' She wondered. She knew it was no joke and that the boy was very powerful to have such strange and strong allies, but he was still a boy.
Shita had bluish-silver hair and light green eyes, and her face was almost pale, and would be if it weren't for her bright pink cheeks.
She walked outside on that windy evening. Once she got to the nearest phone, she picked it up and dialed a number. As she waited for someone to answer, she thought of the pictures they had managed to get of the Dragon.
Where did that thing come from? Where was the boy from? Would they actually find a way to capture these creatures and control them? Many questions went into her mind, but before she could answer then the phone stopped ringing, and a fizzy vision of someone in a dark room came into view.
"What is it?" Asked the voice on the other end.
Shita drew breath, then let it all out. "The elders have accepted your proposal, Vicious. We are to work together and try to corner the boy once we are ready."
Shita heard him chuckle, and squinted in the fuzziness. She managed to see his silver hair glimmer in what seemed to be moonlight from a window.
"I heard he's going to Earth tomorrow, so we should head out now to find him. Are you ready?"
Shita nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Right then. . ." Vicious said slowly, "I'll meet you by the church. Once I get there, just follow my lead. . ."
*~*~*~ You were right, Luis Silva, 'The Red Dragon' IS after Ash's pokemon. I don't know who the Martian Military are though, thanks to my darn parents; they won't let me see the movie. :C ( anywho, I might have said earlier that I was too tired to make up a character; well, I proved myself wrong by making Shita!
