I'd never thought I'd see the day...people like my 'weird' fic! ^_^ This ios it for a little while, though. I need time to write (this was, originally, all one document, but it was easier to break down into small parts. and now I've run out and have yet to write more ^_^;)
Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon, nor do I have anything to do with it. Ash, Pikachu, etc. are all property of other people (no matter how hard I wish...sigh...)
"You know her?" Alex asked.
"I think...so..." Ash replied."I can't remember exactly."
Alex looked at him, his eyes purple.
"Ah, according to what I can see in your mind, yes, you do know her." he said, turning to Emily."Is she going to be okay?"
"Yes, I believe she will." Emily replied.
"What is she?"
"Normal and...electric." Emily frowned."An interesting combination."
The woman groaned and opened her once brown eyes, which were now a muddy red and greyish yellow.
"What happened?" she whispered, her eyes changing to silvery-grey and blue. Ash stepped closer.
"Duplica?" he tried. The woman stared.
"Ash? Is that you?" she asked.
"My name is Ash. That and apparently your name, those are basicaly all I know." Ash shrugged.
Duplica struggled up.
"Ash, how could you forget?!" she cried. Ash frowned.
"I...don't know."
"Duplica," Emily interupted before the girl could yell again."please, Ash has been through a lot. He let loose an elemental tantrum so powerful that it compromised most of his memories. He might not recover them all. Most are locked away in his mind, and others were completely erased."
Ash stiffened, whirling around. He listened hard, his eyes whirled a grim black and gold.
"I hear something!" he hissed. They all froze."Hide!"
They all dove inside the cave entrance, and watched. It was a trainer. Duplica started to relax, but the others didn't. There was something sinister about him. He carried a net, a coil of rope, a dagger, and a gun, as well as six black pokeballs.
"He's a...bounty hunter!" Emily whispered.
"A what?" Ash asked quietly.
"He hunts people like us, and sells them to Team Rocket. He can detect the elements we pocess." Alex explained, putting on a pair of dark sun glasses to hide the glittering changing colours of his eyes. He handed a pair to Ash. Emily put hers on, and gave another pair to Duplica.
"He's the one who caught our little brother." Emily said, her eyes filling with tears.
The bounty hunter came close to the cave entrance. They all held their breaths. They were doomed! The bounty hunter smirked, and caught Duplica by the arm, dragging her out of the cave. That made Ash mad (though he didn't know why). He yelled, his eyes glowing a brilliant green, and and thrust his arms foreward. A storm of razor leaves shot towards the bounty hunter, who was no longer smirking. He dropped Duplica, trying to avoid the attack, but didn't quite manage it. The attack was followed by a fire blast. The bounty hunter screamed as it burned him to the core. Ash wasn't through. His eyes glowed a bright purple as he grabbed what was left of the bounty hunter, and teleported it somewhere. He came back, empty handed, and fell to the ground. Duplica scooted away from him.
"What happened?!" she cried.
"He lost control again." Emily said."He was so enraged that he couldn't help it."
"We've got to train you guys properly." Alex said."There can't be anymore slips like this."
He picked Ash up, and carried him back into the cave. He could apparently see in the dark, as could Emily, who led Duplica. They walked for a long time, then came to a hidden chamber. Emily conjured up a ball of flames to light the room for Duplica.
"Welcome to our home." Emily said. Alex laid Ash down on one of two stone beds, covered by a thick blanket of some kind.
"Ash will be alright. He'll sleep himself out." he said."That was quite an attack he gave, even for a begginer, so he's exhausted."
Emily was rooting around in a trunk that was against one wall.
"We're almost out of food, Alex." she said worriedly.
"I'll go get some, then." Alex replied. He forced his eyes to remain one still colour (brown)."There. Got any prefrences?"
"Try Pewter City. They have low prices," Emily replied, then added hopefully."and I'm partial to their rock candy..."
Alex laughed.
"Alright, I'll get some rock candy for you."
"And search for some more of 'us', too? You never know..."
"Of course." Alex replied."These attacks and round-ups are getting too frequent. I'm afraid of what's going to happen if any more are caught."
He teleported away, leaving Emily to explain everything to Duplica.
"That'll be $121.79, please." the cashier said to Alex. Alex forked over the money, and took the 4 bags of groceries. He left the store. There was un uneasy silence outside. As a precaution, Alex put his sunglasses back on. He was passing by the gym, when the doors burst open, and several people were dragged outside by Rockets. All but one were beaten unconcious. Alex stood watching, open mouthed. Was this a raid? Apparently, yes it was. Alex recognised the man who was left standing.
"Dad!" he was yelling."Timmy! Suzie!"
"Shut up!" one of the Rocket's yelled, backhanding the man. Alex rushed in to defend the young man. He attacked with psybeam. He used it with such force that all the Rockets crumpled over (and all this without relinquishing his hold on his precious groceries!). Alex grabbed the man and teleported back to Mount Silver.
Duplica and Emily woke up as Alex teleported with 4 bulging bags, and an unconcious man.
"Only one?" Emily asked worriedly.
"He was the only one they were interested in. He reads rock and fighting." Alex replied, tired."Put the groceries away, Emily."
Emily silently started putting the groceries away. Duplica, however, was staring at the man.
"Brock!" she cried. Alex looked at her with his rainbow eyes.
"You know him." his reply was a fact, not a question. He put Brock on the other bed and covered him."Ash not wake up yet?"
"Not yet." Emily replied, shaking her head."He's cried out a lot, raving, but nothing more. Uh, that IS normal, right?"
"I'm not sure..." Alex replied."Let's hope that all didn't unhinge his mind."
