"An Umbreon! We've hit the Eevee evolution jackpot!" James exclaimed, peering out into the rain from where they were positioned on the road.
"Alright, new plan," Jesse began, "we take the new girls Eevee, Vaporeon and what ever other pokemon she has, then we steal whats-his-names Umbreon and after that we'll capture Pikachu!"
"Good plan Jesse, why didn't I think of that?" James asked
"Its because brains come with beauty of course!" Jesse replied.
"I hope this doesn't go for to long," Misty commented noting that the clouds were getting darker, "oh, an Umbreon, Krystal do you have one of them yet?" Misty asked.
"Yep, though I have only had her for a few weeks," Krystal said.
"Umbreon, tackle now!" Gary yelled looking Krystal up and down.
"Ok Pikachu, agility and then give that Umbreon the biggest thunder you've got!" Ahs shouted.
"Oh, QUICK, GET OFF THE GROUND!" Misty yelled grabbing Krystal and jumping into Gary's convertible just as a brilliant flash of blinding yellow lightning shot out from Pikachu hitting not only Umbreon, but because of the rain, Gary, Ash and Brock as well. Misty and Krystal peered out from the convertible...
"...and Pikachu...is...the winner!" Brock managed to say before collapsing back onto the ground.
"Pikaaa!" Pikachu said happily.
"Go Ash!" Misty called out cheerfully, as she jumped out of the convertible before moving to help up Ash.
"Good going Pikachu, you did great," Ash said,
"oh...sorry Brock." He added, noticing that Brock had also gotten shocked. Krystal climbed out of the convertible heading over to the group.
"Ash, that's one strong Pikachu you've got there, I hope my Jolteon can learn a thunder that strong," Krystal said, standing beside Brock.
"Wow, you have a Jolteon," Ash said
"And an Umbreon," Misty added.
"I...I cant believe it...I...I lost...to Ash!" Gary stammered looking at his defeated Umbreon who was lying beside him. Ash and Misty along with Brock and Krystal turned to watch as Gary recalled Umbreon before lying down on the muddy ground.
"Ah, is he alright?" Krystal asked, eyeing the boy lying in the rain questioningly.
"Don't worry about him, he just a sore loser," Ash said dryly, watching as Gary slowly sat up.
"Well now that you two have had your pokemon battle, can we please think about finding some shelter, the storm is getting closer you know," Misty said as she looked at the sky.
"Yeh, I think we should. Brock, you said those trees weren't that far off right?" Ash asked
"Yeh, they shouldn't be to far off now..."
Fork lightning struck the ground just beside Gary, he and the others screamed in shock as he scrambled back until he was sitting in front of Misty and Krystal. A loud clap of thunder sounded directly above them,
"Ah, I think we should RUN!" Misty yelled, as another fork of lightning struck the nearby tree.
"Ok, lets get out of here!" Krystal said, grabbing Gary, who was to shocked to move, by the arm and running down the road behind Ash and Misty, Brock following a short distance behind them.
"Oh just great now they're running!" Jesse huffed
"Well, what are you waiting for? lets get after them before we lose track of them why don't we!" Meowth yelled brandishing his claws.
"Right!" Jesse and James said in unison as they took off down the road after Ash and the group.
Brock had been right and it wasn't long before the group entered the forest.
"I think I see a cave up ahead!" Misty called out veering off the road and into the trees, Ash close behind her.
"She's right, I see it just past these trees!" he called back.
"Tis about time I got out of the rain," Krystal said as she, and Gary who was still shaking as she dragged him behind her as they entered the cave closely followed by Brock.
"Oh great, did you have to bring him with you?" Ash said, looking up from trying to ring out his jacket, noticing Gary for the first time.
"I couldn't just leave him there, though he does need a shower though," she said lightly indicating to the mud as she looked Gary up and down, Misty laughed and Gary just turned and walked out of the cave mumbling something, though they couldn't hear what.
