Chapter3- The truth of Alice… "I keep telling you, I'm Alice. Gemma never travels!" Ashley sweat dropped as Alice shouted at the man nearly on the floor. Alice finally finished "Now go!" The man ran as fast as his little legs would carry him. She turned to Ashley who by this time had face faulted. They walked into the room. "What was all that about?" Ashley sat in a chair giving her friend a funny look with her bag on the floor next to her. "Gemma, my sis" She sighed "My identical twin" Ashley sweat dropped really odd twist…I never would have guessed "I didn't know, must be hard. I only have a big brother…" "So'k" Alice shrugged. She sat down on the bed and pulled out one of her poké balls. Ashley looked at mew's phy ball. She smiled and the ball opened cause both to look up. Alice gasped and Ashley twitched and a sweat drop appeared. Ashley got mew around the waist "Is…that mew…yours? "Alice 's mouth hung open and hit the floor. "Yeah," she turned mew to her and whispered angrily "What are you playing at?" "MEW MEW! Mew mew mew, mew!" Ashley let go of mew and dug out her pokédex and hit the translation button. "What did you say?" "I asked to be freed from your grasp" "Go on…" "I heard a pokémon call, I did!" "If I let you go you stay to the shadows, I don't want anything to happen to you, ok" "Right, thank you Ashley" and mew vanished. "Dose he or she," Alice paused and sweat dropped not having a clue "know how to teleport?" "SHE" Ashley stressed "no, I think she just can because she's a physic pokémon." Ashley was flicking through the moves for mews. She put the pokédex away and sat to await mews return. She was slipping into sleep when a "mew!" was yelled down her ear causing her to jump 2 feet up in the air and clutch her heart. Ashley turned to mew as she spoke to she mew curled up giggling. "So?" The translation was still on and mew said, "I was right…Will you come with me?" "Yeah" she looked at Alice who nodded and this time mew and Ashley disappear. Ashley was looking out onto one of the main corridors of the ship with mew next to shoulder; mew pointed to under the nearest table where she could she a pair of eyes. "Right, return mew." And Ashley ran over to the table and lifted the grey cloth to revile not just an ordinary eevee but one that was pale pink and light brown with it's amazing, blue eyes. It started to back away. Little one I won't hurt you…I promise… It was as though the eevee had heard her and walked slowly forward and allowed Ashley to pick her up. Ashley ran around the ship and eventually found Alice's and her cabin. She went into see everything just how it was before she left. She put the eevee down on chair but in doing so knocked off a poké ball. Ashley didn't know cause she went to the computer and teleporter (for pokémon and items) and smiled as she opened her item box to see her mum had put some stuff in there. She got a potion and turned around… The eevee had vanished but then Ashley saw the poké ball on the floor. She went to pick it up but it opened and the eevee popped out. "So you want to come with me?" The eevee smiled and nodded. Ashley held up the potion "This may sting but it should make you feel better." It sat very still till Ashley was done. "So what happened to you?" Ashley asked pulling out her pokédex and pushing the translation button. "My name is Lola…as to what happened, I know. My last" She paused "trainer was always cruel to me because he want me to evolve into an espeon. I couldn't, he didn't care but he wanted to keep me because I was a rare alternate colour pokémon. He left me here on the ship to fend for myself…when you turned up…I felt safe and I could trust you but also like I'd known you before…" "Don't worry…I won't let anyone hurt you…" Ashley sat on the chair and Lola jumped into her lap. Ashley reached into her bad beside the chair and pulled out a brush and groomed Lola… Ashley felt herself being shaken and so opened her eyes and Alice's head swam into view. "Wake up sleepy head" "OK! I'm up!" Alice shot backward "Sorry…the ships docked, come on…" They were ready and left the ship in 5minuets flat with Alice questioning Ashley about Lola who was still out. Ashley saw Lola was getting tried and returned her. "Here we are…Pluto city, home of the ghosts and the mist badge." "I want to go to the gym…" "Before we do…there's something I have to tell you…" Ashley turned to her friend "What?" "Gemma isn't just my sister but…the gym leader…" "No problem" Ashley did a 'V' for victory and dragged Alice towards the gym. They walked inside. "Alice…your back." Said a voice from the shadows. Out stepped a girl, it had to Gemma. "I know you've told her…" "Gemma, lay off Alice" "Who are you…?" "Ashley Noishebarra" "Lets go…" ::*-*:: "One on one. No time limit…"Gemma took one of her poké balls in her hand. "Right…go Lola!" "Go haunter!" "Go! Bite attack now Lola!" Lola bit haunter and clung on "Keep going…your doing great!" "Use confusion ray!" Haunter swung this say and that shooting it's ray. It started to slow down. "One last bite now!" Lola sunk her teeth right in and jumped out the way when haunter fell…Lola ran into Ashley's arms. "You were great! Well done you deserve a nice long rest…" and she recalled the beaming Lola back into her ball… ::*-*:: Ashley heard a voice and looked up "Hey Ashley" It was Gemma walking over to her. Ashley stood up when Gemma reached her. "Here" she held out a badge in her palm "It's the mist badge…"And she handed it over to Ashley… A/N: Hello! Well Ashley has the first badge of Vana, what else will befall our young heroin? Find out in the next chapter… {Usgi: Ok…scary}{Ashley: You said it…}
