Hey sorry guys, I wasn't aware that people actually liked my story O.o. From the help of PokemonTrainerLisa I did find out about Hocus Pokémon and As Clear as Crystal. It is probably no surprise to me that I was just about as much disappointed as you guys probably were. It was just like the ghost episode! Ash went Pikachu for the combined time of about 5 min! Why do they always cut the really cool stuff short? sigh Well to tell you the truth I wasn't planning on going anywhere with this… I just thought it was a really cool idea (that I thought I made up all by my little lonesome, but go figure it was in an epi :D) and had to post it….. …. sigh But when I read rsmith3813's review I just about died laughing, so I had to update then! So I'm trying to start it now… but I am now working so it might take me awhile to write, enjoy!
Chapter 3: Poor Bill the employee…
"Ash you're going to!-" but Pikachu's warning came to late. "AAAAAHYEAHAYAYAHAYAH AAAYAYASHAYAYAYA YOU AYYYAHYAY-" came from Misty's direction. Ash looked over to see a frying Misty. "Hey Misty what happened to you?" Ash asked dumbly. "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED; YOU GOT YOUR ELECTRIC SPARKS IN THE POOL AND FRIED ME!"
This was all too frustrating for our only naturally born Pokémon in the facility. "CAN WE PLEASE STOP FIGHTING FOR ONE MOMENT?" Pikachu yelled, halting Misty and Ash's fight. "Whoa Pikachu… sorry…."
"It's alright… but you guys need to stop fighting!" Pikachu sighed. Ash and Misty nodded, "Ok we need to think of what we need to do," said Ash. "Well for one thing we need to get out of here," replied Misty. Ash looked over to her, "Why do you say that?"
"Because they're coming back with more people?" Misty said as she nodded towards the hotel entrance. Sure enough there was that same employee walking for the pool with a few other individuals. "We need to get out of here," said Ash. "Well what about Misty?" asked Brock. "O right…. Misty why did you have to be a water Pokémon"
"It's not like it's my fault doofus"
"Ok remember when we were caring for that Horsea? I still have that bowl in my bag, Pikachu can you run upstairs and back down with it? I'll get a wagon, Ash… you prevent them from getting Misty, ok?" said Brock calmly. Pikachu nodded and ran off in one direction. "Whoa wait why do I have to protect Misty?" questioned Ash. "Because you won't be able to do anything else," said Brock as he shot off. "HEY WHAT WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN!" Ash said as he started after Brock but Misty caught his attention. "AAAAAASSSSHHHHH GETT OVER HERE!" Ash turned to see two employees sitting at the edge of the pool, reaching out for Misty who had dove down and away from them.
"Go get her Bill," said one of the employees. Bill the employee turned to look at him, "Me? Why me? Can't YOU go get'em?"
"No"
"Why"
"This is dry clean only." Bill the employee was about to snap back a comment when Ash ran up behind them. "PI! PIKA KAPICHU CHA!" The employees turned and looked at Ash. "You get'em after all…. It is dry clean only," smirked Bob the employee. The other employee gave a "hardy har" and got up to get Ash. "STAY BACK! IM WARNING YOU!" Ash warned as more sparks started to come from his cheeks. "Uh… maybe you should get him Bill…….," The employee said as he backed up nervously. Bill stood as well, "Maybe we should… call professionals…. He doesn't seem too friendly….."
"Yah… let's," said the employee as he started to scoot away from the pool, Bill right behind him. Ash at the same time started to get closer to the pool and in a matter of seconds was standing protectively in front of the pool. "Hey… you go distract him…. I'll go make that call," the other employee said as he shot for the hotel. Bill the employee sighed… poor Bill… and stood there in front of Ash… as if standing there… in front of Ash… did a heap of good. "O man…. What if they don't get back in time….. they're going to call the pound… or someone… and have us dragged away!" thought Ash as he nervously scanned the area for signs of either Pikachu or Brock. On his second glance back he saw a ball of yellow running towards him. "Hey Misty! Here comes Pikachu!"
"Really? Where?" Misty said as she surfaced and looked beyond the pool. Within approximately 69.7693 seconds ((XD)) Pikachu was to the edge of the pool and stopped next to Ash, putting the bowl down. "Ok… here it is.. but what are you guys going to do about your stuff?"
"No time……" Ash said as he looked up at Bill the employee. Poor Bill, when he saw Pikachu run up with the bowl, he didn't know WHAT to do, he couldn't just let them get away! "Hey.. what are you doing…" he said as he slowly came closer. "PI!" Ash said, causing Bill the employee to jump back, he really wasn't good at this sort of thing. "How are we going to get her into that….," Ash said as he turned back to look at Pikachu. "We're going to need Brock.. he can levitate…. …. … sorta… he'll be able to lean over and get her in," replied Pikachu. Misty frowned, "Hey so… what I'm just going to be tre-"
"HEY!" came the sound of Brock's voice from behind. They all turned to see Brock carrying a wagon behind him. "Good! Now Brock bring it over here and pick up this bowl and you'll have to hold it over the pool and scoop up some water with her in it," said Pikachu. "Ok," Brock replied as he wheeled it close and started on his task. Ash looked back out to see the other employee come walking out again and towards Bill. "Hurry he's coming back and he's already called someone…," Ash informed the rest of the group. "Called who…," Pikachu started but looked to the two employees. "I just called Pokémon control; they'll be here soon… I sent someone to check their owners rooms so we'll-," he stopped and looked over to Brock, Ash, Pikachu and Misty, "Hey what are they… What are they DOING?" he said as he rushed towards the four. "HURRY BROCK!" Pikachu exclaimed as he looked back at the group. "Working on it," Brock said as he lifted Misty out of the pool, "got it." Brock set Misty down on the wagon then took the handle and sped off. "HEY WAIT FOR US!" Pikachu and Ash said as they dashed after him.
"AW NUTS THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!" the employee exclaimed as he ran after them, but to no avail. He stopped and breathed hard before looking back at Bill. "You just LET them do that?" Poor Bill…. "I'm sorry I didn't…."
"Doesn't matter… Pokémon control can find 'em…," the other employee said as he started back for the hotel, Bill the employee following after.
Ash and gang ran for what felt like hours, never looking back once. After a good 40 minutes of running they stopped and collapsed. "They can't be," Ash stopped to breathe hard, "anywhere near," another pause, "us…"
"No.. they shouldn't. Unless they had rockets strapped to their feet..," Pikachu said with a great big heave. Brock and Misty though, seemed to be a little bit more energized. "Come ON, can we get ON with it? Ash get off the ground you're being so dramatic," whined Misty from her royal perch in her little water bowl. "Get off it Misty I'm tired"
"O Bull you are!"
"I was just running for HOURS at TOP SPEED Misty, YES I am"
"They might be right behind us!"
"They're NOT!"
"You don't KNOW that, you're not PSYCHIC!"
"Yah too bad I'm NOT maybe then I'd have the power to shut you up!" yelled Ash as he collapsed on the ground for another time. Misty floated there in utter shock before she glared at him. "You're so mean…" Ash didn't reply. Pikachu sighed and sat up, "We should be heading out soon.."
"I agree..," Brock said as he looked from where they came to where they were headed. "What are we going to do about your guys stuff…," Pikachu asked. There was silence for a second. "Well… whenever we go back to normal we can just go back and get them..," Brock replied, not being too sure of his plan. "We'll have to stay close then… but not too close, they called Pokémon control…," Pikachu said as he got to his feet again. Ash groaned and rolled over. "Isn't this a good spot…"
"No," Pikachu said as he ran over and started to try and pry Ash off of his spot. Ash whimpered slightly and stood up as well. "This has to be one of the stupidest plans Team Rocket has ever had," grumbled Ash. No one said anything for a time as they continued on. Why had Team Rocket done this? Were they really going to turn them in as well with Pikachu if they did get a hold of them? All these questions spinning through Ash's head as he walked on in silence.
After a time of walking, Ash was still spacing out so did not notice that both Brock and Pikachu had come to a halt. "Well… we'll have to go-" thought Ash as he collided into the front of someone's leg and fell back. Pikachu and Brock exchanged glances and looked back at the owner of the leg. The mysterious man paused while looking down at the strange Pikachu with the big funny hat. After a few moments he spoke, "Ash?" Ash paused then sslloowwllyy looked up at the figure. After squinting at him for a bit, Ash's eyes widened, it was Gary Oak from Pallet Town and he was wearing a nasty little grin.
