THE POKEMON MASTER

CHAPTER SIX

Back in the lab Tammy got out of the chair and saw everyone eating popcorn. She wined, "No fair I wanted some." Macey handed her her popcorn, "You can have mine." She smiled, "Thanks." Macey informed them, "I'm going outside to play with the pokemon." With that she went outside but as soon as she stepped out the door an Eevee jumped on her causing her to fall. Prof. Oak said, "Oh I forgot to tell you your brother sent over your Eevee cause she missed you." She smiled dusting herself off, "Hey Eevee I missed you too. If I could hold seven pokemon you bet you would be one of them." Eevee started talking fast and Macey almost didn't catch what she had said. Tammy asked walking over to them, "What did she say?"

Macey answered, "She said Ho-oh told her to come meet me in her dreams so she got Dylan to transfer her over here." Peter said, "I wonder what you'll need her for." Travis said thoughtfully, "What ever it is it can't be good." Ash spoke up, "You know Ho-oh!" Misty asked, "How do you know Ho-oh?" Macey thought, 'Great go ahead a slip up like that. He said I wasn't suposed to tell anyone.' Then a voice came into her head 'I need to talk to you right away. Bring Ash and his friends as well.' 'Okay Ho-oh your the one that said it not me.' She sighed, "How would you guys like to meet him?"

Tammy practicly sreamed, "What! You know your not suposed to do that!" She looked at her, "Ho-oh said to bring them." That caught Tammy and Peter off guard. Sure they had met Ho-oh but he didn't want anyone to know where he lived. Travis broke the silence, "Well if we're goig see Ho-oh we should pack up and get going." They nodded. Everyone was excited to go see Ho-oh. Macey and her friends because they hadn't seen him in a long time, and Ash and his friends because they never met Ho-oh. It took them all day to get to the Virdian Forest riding their pokemon.

When they got there Macey returned her Rapidash, Charizard, and Pidgeot. Tammy returned her Torous and Fearow. They walked into the forest with Misty and Peter watching out for bugs. They finally made it to a giant tree that was bigger than any other tree in the forest. Macey walked up to and said, "Hey Ho-oh we're here!" Then the tree opened up and a voice came from it, "Come in." So they walked in and saw the bird pokemon sitting on a perch. The inside of the tree was huge! It looked bigger on the inside than it did on the outside.

Tammy asked in a hurry, "What did you want to see us about?" He said coming down, "Patientence child you will find out soon enough." Macey ran up to him and hugged him around the neck saying, "It is good to see you again father." Ash, Misty, and Brock said in unison, "FATHER!" When she turned around to face them her eyes were gold. When she started talking her voice was softer, "Yes. I am the daughter of Ho-oh. I was fused with Macey when we were younger so I would be safe." Brock asked, "Did she know about this when it happened?"

She nodded, "We asked her if she would do it and she agreed to it. We would've found a different human if she would've said no. She wouldn't have been the first to say no. In fact we asked about twenty people before her." Travis smiled, "Just like Macey to help a pokemon in need." Tammy laughed remebering when her and Macey were younger, "Yeah even before she was the greatest Pokemon Master ever she thought of it as her duty to help as many pokemon as she could." Peter agreed, "Even if it meant indangering herself she was up to the challenge."

Macey, who was back to normal, said blushing, "I didn't know you guys thought that highly of me." She turned to Ho-oh, "What's wrong?" He asked, "What makes you so sure something is wrong?" She answered matter of factly, "Every time you call us to come see you something is wrong in the pokemon world." He sighed, "I wish I could tell you you're wrong and that nothing is wrong but... But Riacku is hurt bad and needs you to heal him before terrible things start to happen." She said determined, "Well what are we waiting for lets go help him."

Everyone nodded and was ready to go when Ho-oh said stopping them, "Not all of you can go. Only Macey and her pokemon may go." They were disapointed and Misty asked, "Why is she the only one that can go?" He answered, "She most go into the land of the legendaries and pokemon that don't like humans." Macey complained, "Great why did he have to go there. Last time I went there I was almost eaten." She apoligized, "Sorry guys but I'll bring back some pictures." After she said that Ho-oh teleported the rest of the group back to the Prof.'s lab. Back at the tree she asked, "Shall we go?" He nodded, "Yes let's go."

She climbed on his back with Pikachu and Eevee on each a shoulder. Then the tree opened again and he flew off. When they got there it was late that night. When they got to him Macey jumped off of Ho-oh and ran to Riacku. He was laying on the ground panting when she came up to him. She asked softly, "What happened to you?" He answered weakly, "Team Rocket." She asured him, "Don't worry I'll heal you and you'll be as good as new." She placed her left hand over his heart and one of her eyes turned gold. They started glowing a bright white along with Eevee.

Once she was done she moved her hand and he stood up. He looked like he had never been hurt. She hugged him and he thanked her. When she got back to the Prof.'s lab it was seven in the morning. She went straight to bed and she slept till noon. When she woke up she smiled and went to eat lunch. Like she had promised she brought back pictures of lots of legendaries. Ash seemed more excited than a kid in a candy store. She told them, "You guys have to promise me never to tell anyone about what you saw last night." They nodded and everything went back to normal.

That day the gang spent it with Flava and by the end of the day they were friends. The next day Lance called her saying, "There's trouble in Vermilion City. The water is rising fast and a flood is sure to form." She nodded, "We're on our way there right now. Don't worry about a thing." She hung up the phone and said, "Sorry guys but we have to go now. There's going to be a flood in Vermilion City." Tammy said, "Right I'll go get the pokemon." She ran out the door to get them. Peter told Ash, "Don't worry we'll meet up again some day." Then he ran out to join Tammy.

Macey said, "Like I said sorry but duty calls." Brock said, "We understand go on." Misty said, "It was great meeting you and your friends." Ash asked, "Is Peter right? Will we meet again?" Macey smiled, "You bet we will! And it won't be at the League it'll most likely be on our journeys." He smiled and Tammy came in, "Come on let's go we're ready." She nodded, "Right then ran out to fly on Charizard to Vermilion City. After that day Macey was right they did meet up again in Johto and Hoeen. When Macey, Tammy, and Peter were fifteen they disappeared. No one knew what happened to them until they came back three years later.
