THE POKEMON MASTER

CHAPTER FIVE

Misty was in shock. She coudn't believe someone like Macey would do such a thing. She thought about it for almost an hour before she decided to go to bed. On her way to her room, with a sleeping Togepi in her arms, she saw Macey leaveing Tammy's room. Misty asked "How is she doing?" She answered "She cried herself to sleep. I hope she forgets about it in the morning." "Why do you say that? Has she forgot about it before?" She nodded "Yes, she has but, it's always going to be there and something is most likly to triger it again. Well I'm going see if I can get Flava to trust." She started walking when she stopped and said "Oh and Misty please don't ask her about it tomorrow. For her sake please don't remind her of it again." Misty nodded "I won't. I promise." Macey smiled "Thanks Misty. You know for understanding. Oh and before I forget please don't tell anyone." Misty nodded "Promise."

As Macey walked down to the room Flava was in she thought about what had happened that day. Not just about what happened between her, Misty, and Tammy just a few minutes ago but, about the twin thing, Flava, and somehow Travis got in there with her pokemon and her friends. A voice in her head said "Hi Macey! What you so stressed about." She thought "Hi Sam. What do you want?" Sam: "What do yoou mean 'what do you want' I live here. Can't I talk to the only person who can hear me?" Macey: "I'm sorry. I just can't stop thinking about Flava. You remeber when Team Rocket kidnapped us a year ago. Do you think they ever made a clone of me?" Sam: "Maybe. Well I beter go you have to help Flava. See ya later." Macey: "Yeah see ya."

When she walked in she found Ash talking to Flava. She said "Hi. If your trying to make peace with her I don't think it'll work." He said "How do you know? It might work." She smiled "Let me try." He stepped aside and said "Be my guest." She walked up to Flava and asked "Why do you not trust people?" The pokemon didn't answer. Macey sighed "Please Flava! I know how you feel." She asked "How would you know how I feel?" Ash jumped "You can talk." She rolled her eyes "What does it sound like?" She turned to Macey "It's your fault I'm here. If you wouldn't of drew me and, if Team Rocket wouldn't of found that peice of paper I wouldn't have been made. I used to be four pokemon. They formed me by combineing an Eevee, an Abra, a Pikachu, and a Vulpix. Please answer my question. How do you know how I feel?"

Macey sighed again "I know because when I was younger I didn't trust hardly anybody." Ash and Flava asked "Why?" She answered "At first I didn't like people because they hurt pokemon but, one day when I was about three I saw a boy helping a pokemon that was hurt. When I asked him why he was helping it. He told me that pokemon are our friends not our slaves. He said he was a pokemon trainer and, didn't make his pokemon fight if they didn't want to. That's when I reliesed that there are good people in the world. I hope you get to see the good side of humans and not just the bad like I did." She turned and left.

Ash and Flava were dumfounded at first but got over it. Ash left to find Macey. He found her outside watching the pokemon. Ash asked "Why didn't you tell us you were the Pokemon Master?" She answered "I didn't want you guys treating me all special like a queen or something." Ash admitted "I guess your right. We probably would act like you were our queen and we had to do every little thing for you." She said "Look I have to go help the Prof. and Travis run some test on my Pikachu. See you later." Ash asked "Why do they run lots of test on your Pikachu?" She answered "He's different from other Pikachu." "Why is he so different?" "You see Team Rocket used him in experiments before I got him."

She got up off the hill she was sitting on and went to the lab. Once there she asked "Anything new?" Travis said "The Prof. has made a new machine that records memories." The Prof. said "Yes sirry. My newest machine is up and ready. I have tested it and it's ready." Macey asked "Pikachu are you ready?" He nodded. She said "Remember I'm going to be right here if you need me." He snuggled up to her. Then he jumped in the chair and, the Prof. hooked up the helmant to his head. Prof. Oak started explaining how it works "This is the moniter. It's also were the memory will appear. As the memory is played it is also recorded. Macey if you will please call everyone in here." She walked over to the intercom and pushed the buton "Ash, Misty, Tammy, Peter, and Brock get your butts to room 175 on the double."

In a few minutes everyone was there. The Prof. pushed some butons and the screen flashed on. It was a quiet scene until a boy and his Pikachu ran by followed by Team Rocket members. That Pikachu was Macey's Pikachu but a little younger. The rockets caught up to them and shot the boy. Then they took Pikachu and his pokemon. Pikachu was crying while trying to get loose. then the screen flashed again and they were in Team Rocket's hq. There were pokemon in cages all over the place. A quick scene passed by showing how Team Rocket beat the pokemon for not listening.

Then there was an explosion and lots of pokemon, including Macey's, ran into the forest. Soon after they saw Prof. Oak and Macey walk near the fallen Pikachu. Then they heard the Prof. say "Go pokeball!" The screen flashed again. This time Pikachu was with Macey, Tammy, and Peter walking down the road. A short while later pictures started flashing. They had Macey and him in all of them and Tammy, Peter, and the other pokemon in some. Then Pikachu opened his eyes and the moniter went blank.He scratched his ears and jumped on Macey, who took off the helment.

She said "Are you okay Pikachu?" He nodded and a tear rolled down his cheek. Oak asked "Anyone else want to go?" Tammy volunteered "I'll go next." She sat down in the chair and put the helment on. (A/N :There are different sizes of the helments and chairs.) She asked "Are you sure this won't hurt?" Oak nodded "Now just relax." She mumbled "Sure easy for you to say your not the one in the chair." She closed her eyes and the screen came on. Her, Macey, Peter, and their pokemon were walking in the Viridian Forest. It was early in the afternoon when they stopped.

Peter said "This looks like a nice place to set up camp." Everyone nodded and started making camp. Then Pikachu, who was sitting in a tree, dropped an apple on Macey's head making a huge bump appear. She growled "Hey Pikachu watch it would ya." He wasn't listening to her. Instead he jumped out of the tree and ran into the brush. She said "Hey Pikachu wait up!" Then her, Tammy, Peter, Eevee, and Squirtle ran after him. When they finally caught up to him he was with other Pikachu. Everyone gasped and Tammy said "I've never seen so many Pikachu in one place."

Macey agreed "Yeah I know what you mean. Not even Prof.Oak has so many Pikachu at his lab." Back in the lab. Ash, Misty, and Brock kind of expected Macey to run out like Ash did but she didn't. Misty mocked "Well at least she knows not to jump out at them and make them run away." Ash growled at her in responce. Now back to the memory. Eevee and Squirtle went meet Pikachu after he motioned for them to come over. Then Pikachu ran over to the humans and said something to them. They nodded and went back to the campsite. Once there they started eating.

When they were done Tammy said excitedly "I can't wait to catch a Pikachu of my own!" Peter said "Don't get to excited you might have a heart attack." She stuck her tongue at him. Macey offered "I'll help you catch one if you want me too." Tammy hugged her tightly "Thank you May. You're a true friend." She looked at Peter with narrowed eyes "Unlike some other person I won't mention." Macey was turning blue by this time. Peter said "Um... Tammy I think you should let Macey go she's starting to turn blue." Tammy let go and blushed "Sorry."

Just then Pikachu, Squirtle, and Eevee came running out of the bushes followed by another Pikachu. Pikachu jumped on Macey along with the other three pokemon. After they jumped off of her she fell backwards. Then Pikachu came back and jumped on her head making her fall on her back. Then the other three pokemon ran over her. Tammy and Peter ran over to her and hekped her up. Peter asked "Are you okay?" She said in a daze "Yeah I'm fine." Then she fell back to the ground. They helped her up again. It started to get dark so Tammy yelled "PIKACHU, SQUIRTLE, AND EEVEE COME BACK TO THE CAMPSITE! IT'S GETTING LATE!"

When the pokemon came back to the campsite they apoligized to Macey for running her over. She smiled "No problem. Just don't do it again." Just then three rockets jumped out of bushes and demanded "Hand over all of your pokemon now!" Peter said "No way these are our pokemon and we raised them." One of them said "Fine if you won't give them to us we'll take them. Go Persian!" "Go Muk!" "Go Weezing!" Macey said "Go Pikachu!" Tammy said "Go Squirtle!" Peter said "Go Eevee!" "Persian use fury swipes!" "Pikachu thunderbolt!"

Persian went at Pikachu but Pikachu jumped on him and shocked him. "Now Muk use toxic!" "Squirtle dodge it and use a skull bash attack!" Muk spit out some toxic slug but Squirtle dodged it and hit Muk head on with a skull bash attack. "Weezing use a slog attack!" "Eevee use takedown!" Weezing spit some slug at Eevee but she dodged it and hit him with a takedown attack. All of Team Rocket's pokemon fainted. The three trainers gave eachother a high five. Then turned to the rockets and Macey commanded "Pikachu blast them with a thunderbolt."

That sent them blasting off. As they were blasting off they hit a tree, and the Pikachu the three trainer's pokemon were playing with later that day started to fall out the tree. He was going to fall off the cliff but when Tammy saw him falling she ran and jumped off the cliff to caught him. She caught him but now she was falling too. She fell into the water and was getting close to the waterfall. Macey grabbed a rope and tied it to Squirtle. He jumped into the river and grabbed Tammy by the shirt. Back on land Macey and Peter pulled them in with the rope.

When they got them out of the water Tammy asked the Pikachu "Are you okay?" He nodded then ran off into the forest. The next morning that same Pikachu was following them. When Macey noticed him she told Tammy "Hey Tammy I think someone wants to join our team." Tammy turned around and offered "Hey Pikachu if you want to come with me if you really want to." He grinned and ran up to her. She laughed "How about I call you Thunder so there won't be any confusion between you and Pikachu here." He nodded and she put him in a pokeball.
