"The Shadow Disk?" Ryder asked. Ash nodded, along with Fidelity. "What is that?"
"It's a disk made out of shadow energy," Ash said, playing with an orange. His mind was doing flips. It was hard to register the fact he just found something out about himself that was so big; he was able to use the Shadow Disk, but that also meant there was more to it then that...how much more?
"Really? I think I've heard of this Shadow energy before...I don't remember where though..." Belle sighed, as she made dinner. The basket of apples sit on the counter near her, waiting to be cut and used for fruit salad.
"I'm going to go lie down. I feel sick."

"It's starting to get dark! We should go back," Misty said. Paran, Fox, and Lance nodded in agreement, each of them looking worn out. May was the only on that seemed to want to continue.
"You all go on back. I'm going to keep going." They frowned.
"May..." Lance said.
"...Don't push yourself..." Paran added. Fox coughed. They looked at him.
"What? You have something to add to this?" May asked. Fox frowned.
"You are stressing yourself way to much." She rolled her eyes.
"I'll be fine. The minute I start feeling tired or something, I'll come back."
Misty nodded, along with Lance, Paran, and Fox. "Good luck, May," they said.

Ash sat up in bed, breathing heavily. "It...was only a nightmare. No big deal...just go back to sleep, and maybe I'll forget about it..."
He slid back down into the blankets, frowning. He stared at the ceiling, frowning. Even though at first he wanted to remember everything, now he wished he could stay the way he was; it was painful remembering.
The sun had started rising. Ash sat back up, glaring at the wall. He got out of bed, and went out into the kitchen. It was about an hour, before Belle walked in. "Oh, good morning! You're up early," she said, pulling the carton of milk out.
"Yeah." Ash picked at the scratch on his arm, frowning. "I had a nightmare."
"Really? About what?" Belle asked, as she fixed breakfast.
"Oh, it was were I was in this tower." He looked at her. "Nothing much. It was more warped then anything else."
"'Morning." Fidelity and Ryder walked in, just as Belle finished breakfast. Ash was already at the table, as they all joined him.
"I was thinking...maybe we could go on a picnic today?" Belle suggested.
"I like that idea!" Fidelity said. Ryder nodded tiredly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Do we have everything?" Ryder asked, as they stood in the dinning room. When everything was set, they left. The TV was left on. They didn't see the reporter talk about the missing Shadow Master...
"It is so pretty out today!" Belle said, as they put the basket and blanket down on the ground. Ash spread everything out, half stuck in his thoughts. "Let's have lunch, shall we?"
Ash was quietly chewing on a sandwich, when a yell rang out. A small baby girl appeared out of nowhere, peering up at him curiously. She had to be 2 years old at least. He let her crawl onto his lap. "I am so sorry!"
The mother ran up, panting. Ash looked at her, and saw the telltale sign of her being pregnant. "It's alright," Belle said.
"She just crawled away! I told him to watch her..." The woman took the baby girl away, and went back to tell the father off. Ash went back to sinking into his thoughts, new ones added on.
"Are you alright?" Fidelity asked. He shook his head.
"I don't know..." Ash stood up, and paced back and forth. He was already confused. "I-"
"YOU!" Ash turned just in time, to see the same group of people as before standing there. "We have found you! The League has finally achieved what we have strived to do!"
"Run! Go, hide!" Ash said to Bell, Ryder, and Fidelity. They nodded, and ran away. He looked back at the group, frowning. 'The League...!'
He remembered it. The raids, the destruction, the deaths... Ash felt a fierce anger bubble up. Black electricity shot out at them, startling him. He ran to catch up, before they could recover. "What in hell did I do back there?" he said.
Fidelity, Belle, and Ryder where hiding in the bushes. "What was that?" Ryder asked, as Ash dropped down next to Fidelity.
"The...League?" Ash said, rubbing his eyes wearily. His expression turned to one of pure hatred. "The League..."
*~*~*~*
Silently, Ash (23 years old) crawled on his hands and knees through the bushes, not even wincing as thorns tore at him. He peeked through the leaves, watching the raid. Pikachu sat on his lap, as he sat quietly on the ground.
A scream came from nearby. A girl, only nine or ten years old, ran past, looking quite frightened. She was being chased by one of the Trainers. He caught up to her. "Come here, you..."
The screams of terror turned to cries of anguish. Ash's eyes widened, the horrified look he had evident. "No...no..."
He wanted to tear that Trainer apart. That man didn't deserve to live! Ash held back, knowing being caught would do no good. Pushing down his anger, he got away from the bushes, and headed back to Indigo City.
*~*~*~*
"How about we go home? It's not safe with those strangers walking around and attacking people," Ryder said. Ash didn't dare verbalize his thoughts.
'They aren't randomly attacking people...just me.'

That is chapter three! Still having trouble making them longer! Errrr, no fair! But anyway, onto reviews:
Shadow Fox- Yeah. Hm, length has been a challenge. I just have to keep trying though!
EjqHorseLady- I'm trying to get them out as fast as possible, so you won't have to wait.
heath 999- The Shadow Disk? Well, it's a disk made out of shadow that Ash can use as transportation.
"The Shadow Disk?" Ryder asked. Ash nodded, along with Fidelity. "What is that?"
