Pikachu hit the wall, Misdreavus's Psybeam ramming into him. As the beam faded Pikachu fell to the ground. I...I can't loose...Pikachu stumbled to get up, facing Misdreavus yet again. Ash...I will save you.
"Pika pi, Pikachuu? Pika pika pikachuu!" [Ash, you hear me? I will save you, so just hang on!] Pikachu shouted down the hall, tears filling his eyes.
"You'll save him?" Misdreavus laughed, "All you're going to do is join him...once I kill you!"
"Pikachuu!" [We'll see!] Pikachu spat.
Pikachu could only think of one way to get her down. He needed to attack her with just one powerful electric attack, something that would pack an outstanding punch. She was already paralyzed, but she just needed the extra punch to have it really start to go into effect.
Misdreavus charged towards Pikachu, a shrill, high pitched laugh escaping her lips, "Now Die!"
She launched another Psywave at Pikachu. This is my only chance! Pikachu dashed out of the way, speeding his way to the other in of the hall way using Agility. Misdreavus turned around.
"That won't work again!" She screached, launching a swift attack.
Pikachu took in a deep breath and then out of him sprang about 15 other Pikachu's. The swift hit one of them, causing it to fade out, revealing to be one of the fake. Misdreavus continued her act, using swift on every Pikachu.
"I'll find you soon enough!" She screeched, getting rather annoyed.
The real Pikachu smirked. You won't fine me soon enough. The electric energy he's been generating began to crackle in the air. Mistreavus, suddenly feeling the unbalance in the air, turned to see the real Pikachu, charging up for a powerful Electric attack.
"PIIKAACHUUU!" [NOW ZAPCANNON!] Pikachu cried out, releasing the ball of electricity in a beam current.
Misdreavus's eyes widened. If she was hit by that, she'd be unable to move! Her eyes began to glow and within a second she shot a similar electric beam out of her. Her beam collided into Pikachu's, causing a mass explosion! Smoke exploded throughout the hall, covering everything in a think blanket of cloudiness.

Ash was flowing through the blackness. His concentration was focused only on his breathing, he had to keep breathing. He had to stay alive. How was he supposed to get out of this. He had no idea where he was. He was falling, falling into nothingness, dissapearing from existence.
He couldn't see. He couldn't move, and it took every ounce of his power to just keep breathing. If he didn't find a way to get out of here soon, he would dissapear.
So...cold...Ash could feel his lungs begin to tighten. It was becoming hard to continue breathing and it was getting colder...much colder. He couldn't remember why he wanted to stay alive anymore, his memories were fading away.
As he fell deeper into the darkness, he began to have doubts. He couldn't get out. He couldn't remember what was important to him anymore. Why...? Why couldn't he just give up and die...? He no longer knew. There no longer was a reason. He had lost all hope, had nothing to live for.
I...have...nothing...
...nothing...
He stoped his breathing, no longer wanting to try so hard to inhale one stupid breath. He just wanted to die. He had always been alone, he couldn't remember ever having anyone by his side. His whole life he's been alone. No memories of happy times, only sad, lonely times. He deserved to die. Alone....just like he's always been...
...a...lone.....
"Ash!"
Ash's eyes flung open at hearing his name. He could breath again, his breathing was hoarse, he felt like a fish out of water, gasping for air. It was no longer pitch blackness, now there was some light, a ball of light. He reached out towards it, wanting to embrace it's warmth...he was so cold....and the light was so warm...
"Ash! You can't die!" The voice rang from the light.
The light transformed into a human shaped figure. It was now bright, frightening away the darkness. Ash stood there in awe. Once again he found himself frozen unable to move.
"Ash!"
The light figure approached him, a sparkle of tears falling from the figures cheeks. His eyes widened. That voice! "....Mis...ty..?" Suddenly, he could see her form perfectly as she ran towards him, into his arms. To his amazement, he could see right through her! She was transparent. A spirit maybe? He did not know, but there was one thing he was sure of, this person, spirit, ghost....it was Misty....it was his Misty.
"You can't leave me Ash!" she cried out, sparkiling tears falling down her cheeks.
His arms wrapped around her. She placed her head on his chest, crying into it. Her body was still emitting light, stilling the darkness that surrounded them. His hold on her tightened and he laid his head on her transparent shoulder.
"...Myst..." he whispered, being filled with warmth.
Warm...
So...warm...
"I don't want to be alone! Please, Ash...please..." she cried, uncontrollably into his chest, and chocked out, "I don't...I don't want to be alone..."
He held her as tightly as he could. Her warmth filled his soul and he felt completely alive again. He lifted his head off her shoulder and looked down at her. She was so scared. Scared of being alone. He lifted her head up, making eye contact with her. He smiled his warm smile down at her, causing her tears to stop. A small blush crept across her face as he gazed down lovingly at her.
"Don't worry my little angel..."
Ash slowly leaned in towards Misty. Her eyes grew wide as he placed a small, tender, kiss on her cheek. Her face flushed and she looked down a little embarrased. His hand came up to her cheek and gently caressed it.
"I'll never let you be alone...I'll always be here for you..." he whispered.
Slowly, he removed his hand from her cheek and backed away. She looked up at him with sad eyes, knowing all too well what he was about to do. His warm smile still played on his face.
"Thank you...for saving me..." his face was still peacefull as he looked up into the darkness. "Now...I have to go...save you..."
"Don't go Ash...I'll be...alone...again..." she whimpered.
He smiled at her as his gaze was once again upon her, "I'll be with you soon...just hold on a little longer...I promise...Misty...I will save you."
The ghostly figure of Misty lowered her head and whispered, "...please....hurry..."
Ash nodded silently and then closed his eyes. I'm coming, don't worry Misty. His body began to fade as he could feel his true body returning to consciousness. He opened his eyes and glanced at Misty to find her crying again. He smiled and mouthed her a final 'soon' just before he dissapeared.
_____________________________________
Pikachu forced his body to move. He had been knocked temporarily uncounscious, due to the blast. By the look of things he suspected so had Misdreavus. His body ached all over, it was ready to give in and just collapse on him at any moment.
The air around them became heavy and thick, electricity crackling all throughout it. The electric current in the air patterns was draining away Pikachu's electric power. His breathing was now heavy and uneven, he was loosing his power and he had already lost almost all of his health.
This is not good...Pikachu looked frantically through the heavy smoke that once again filled the hallway. If I get hit just once... His ears perked up, fealing sudden motion around him.
"That wasn't too bad. If I hadn't of shot MY zapcannon, I'd be the one out of breath right about now..." Misdreavus informed her opponent.
Pikachu's breathing only turned towards the worst. His energy was now completely drained, he had nothing left. Instantly he felt his masters aura. His head jerked towards the location of his arising master. ....Ash...? But...how...? Pikachu didn't care how as long as Ash was okay, that's all that mattered right now.
Pikachu smiled to himself. Ash was alright, he would save everyone. He could finally rest now. Pikachu closed his eyes and fell to the ground, unconscious. Misdreavus smirked as she felt Pikachu's spirit fall uncounscious.
Darkness crept out of every dark corner and made its way to the unconscious Pikachu. The darkness covered him in a mass blanked, smothering him in the pitch blackness. The darkness moved away from that spot back to their corners. No trace of Pikachu was seen, the darkness has completely swallowed him up.
"Sweet dreams Pikachu...Now Miss Yuuki will have yet another friend to play with."
Ash made his way down the corridor only to hear Misdreavus's last comment. His eyes widened at what he heard. Pikachu...? She's tooken Pikachu now too...? His eyes filled with anger. She would pay. Misdreavus, Yuuki. They would pay!
"Misdreavus tell her to give them back!" Ash yells, startling Misdreavus.
"Y-You?!" she stuttered in astonishment, "But I took your soul away and threw it into the darkness! There's no way you could of survived!"
"I was saved by an angel..." He said softly, "Now it's my turn to save her."
"Noo! You can't take Miss Yuuki's friends away again!" Misdreavus yells, "You don't know what Miss Yuuki's been through!"
Misdreavus's eyes began to glow a ice cold blue and waves of energy began to emit from her body. The energy waves hit Ash full force, knocking him against the wall.
"You could never understand!" she continued to yell in a fury, "My master, Miss Yuuki, is soo lonely! She needs friends! She needs Misty more than you'll EVER need her!!!"
Repeatidly, Ash was thrown up against the wall, slamming hard into it then dropping to the ground only to be thrown up against it again. He yelled in pain, while somehow still taking in everything she's said.
"HOW would you know??!!" Ash yelled, standing up. "You could never understand how much they all mean to me, Especially HER! YOU are the one that doesn't understand! YOU co--"
Ash was stopped short as Misdreavus blasted him with yet another wave, smashing him into the wall.
"YOU'RE WRONG!!" she yelled, tears running down her cheeks, "YOU'RE WRONG!!!"
She blasted him again and again. But he would just get back up after every blow. She couldn't attack him anymore because she was exhausted. She had used up all her energy and somehow this boy was still standing.
"Misty...she is my world..." He breathed out, holding his arm. "If you take that away from me...then...I'll have nothing to live for..."
Misdreavus, who was gasping for air just as much as him, looked up at him, her eyes still angry. "Yuuki is...she is right for...taking that girl from you..." Tears began to form in her eyes. "Yuuki has been through so much....she was alone...she had noone...but know she has Misty..."
"Yuuki...is...a ghost.." Ash said in between breaths. "Her spirit...hasn't been put to rest...?"
"No....She died here....in a fire." Tears continued to fall from the pokemon's eyes, "All her friends lived their lives and then went to heaven when they passed away...leaving Yuuki behind...alone...They all left her!"
"I understand now..." Ash said lowering his head, "Yuuki is a spirit...whose died in a fire long ago...she was lonely and needed a friend..."
"You've got it." Misdreavus said, looking at him angry again. "Now will you just let her be? Forget about your friends! Yuuki needs them more!"
Ash shook his head. He lifted his head up to look at Yuuki's pokemon, a smile across his face.
"Yuuki has friends...friends that have been waiting a very long time to see her..." He closed his eyes and replaced his smile with a serious look. "I think I can get her to realize her friends are waiting."
Misdreavus looked at him in shock. He looked back up at her seriously.
"I need you to bring me to her. I can show her she's not alone. It is time for her to finally be at rest...so she can return to her friends...and you...can also be free.....your spirit will finally be put to rest too."
Misdreavus looked into his eyes and saw the anger he once held for her and Yuuki had completely vanished. Now his eyes held a sincere look. She didn't know why...but she trusted him. The thought of Yuuki finally being able to be happy was enough.
This boy...he was truely one of a kind. He was special.
Misdreavus hesitantly nodded. "All right...I'll take you to her..." she smiled over at him, for the first time giving him a genuine smile. "I'm counting on you...Ash..."
