Chapter 2: One Jump Ahead

Suddenly, the lights went back on and now we see Ash Ketchum being chased by a group of Exploud in the ice rink, and the Exploud are now angry and yelling at him!

Ash performed 3 turns, the spin, the mohawks, the spirals, and the spread eagles to the edge of a "rooftop" and… GASP! Almost dropped a bottle of potion he was holding! He looked over his shoulder. The Exploud guards were after him.

"Stop thief! I'll have your hands for a trophy, street-Raticate!" yelled the Exploud leader.

"All this for a bottle of potion?" Ash asked himself. He performed the split jump and the walley jump. He landed back down to the ice, held out his hand, and the bottle of potion fell right into it.

"You thief!" yelled the guards. "You won't get away so easy!"

"Ha! You think that was easy?" asked Ash. Then he noticed the guards were back on the street, splitting up.

"You two, over that way! And you, follow me!"

Ash wrapped himself up in a sheet, and pretended to chat with some girls."Morning, ladies!" he said.

"Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we, Ash?" said Sakura.

"Trouble? Ha, how can I?" said Ash. "You're only in trouble if you get caught!"

"Gotcha!" sneered an Exploud guard, grabbing Ash by his collar.

"Oh, great! I'm in trouble!"

"And this time!" all of a sudden,a yellow pokemon with brown stripes on its back, black-tipped ears, red cheeks, and a lightning bolt-shaped tail jumped in front of the Exploud guard, and used its Thunderbolt.

"Perfect timing, Pikachu. As usual!" said Ash.

Pikachu winked.

"C'mon! Gotta keep…

One jump, ahead of the battles

One swing, ahead of the sword

I steal only what I can't afford… That's everything!" sang Ash as he performed the 2-foot spin.

"One draw, ahead of the lawmen,

That's all, and that's no joke!

These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!"

"Riff-raff! Street-Raticate!

Scoundrell! It's you we hate!" sang the Exploud guards as they threw fruit at him.

"Just a first aid kit, guys…!"

"RIP IT OPEN, TO THE PIT, GUYS!"

"I can take a hint, got to face the facts; you're my true friend, Pikachu!" Then the duo skated past Casey, Melody, Bianca and May.

"Who? Oh it's sad, Ash Ketchum has hit the bottom! He's become a one-man rise in crime!" they sang.

"I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got them!" sang Ruby, trying to hit Ash with a broom.

"Got to fight to win, got to steal to fight, tell you all about it when I got the time!" sang Ash, as he ducked.

"One jump, ahead of the Slowbros

One skip, ahead of Houndoom…

Next time going to use a Vileplume!"

"There he is!" shouted an Exploud guard.

"One jump, ahead of the Hitmon,

One hit, ahead of the flock…

I think I'll take a stroll around the block!"

"Stop thief!"

"Vandal!"

"PIKACHU!" screamed Ash.

"Scandal!"

"Let's not be too hasty…!" sang Ash as he skated past Luanna.

"Still I think he's rather tasty!" Luanna sang along with Bianca, Melody, May, and Casey.

Ash jumped and performed a 2-foot spinpast the Exploud guards.

"Got to fight to win, got to steal to fight… otherwise we'd get along!"

"Wrong!" yelled the guards. They jumped and skated into a circle, but Ash and Pikachu were already gone. They chased them around the ice rink, and then Pikachu began to fight back with its electric attacks.

"Hey! That Pikachu is going to shock us!" cried a cowardly Exploud guard.

"You idiots… WE'RE ALL BIGGER THAN THAT LITTLE RODENT!" said the leader.

"Hmm!" said the other guards in realization. They started an attack too. Pikachu just grinned and took off. Ash, still on the run, made it to a rope. He climbed up and scurried to safety, and the Exploud guards all collided with each other, making a sound like bowling pins being knocked down.

"One jump, ahead of the hoof beats," sang Ash. People in the background were singing also.

"Vandal!"

"One hop, ahead of the hump!"

"Street-Raticate!"

"One trick, ahead of the challenge,"

"Scoundrel!"

"They're strong, but I'm much tougher!"

"Take that!"

"Here goes, better throw my hand in,

Wish me happr landin'

All I got to do is JUMP!"

The Exploud guards all jumped out the window too, but they didn't have a parachute. So while Ash performed a loop jump, a lutze, an axel jump, and salchow jump all together, they all fell in a cart of "Camerupt manure."

The audience burst into an applause as Ash got safely away from the Exploud guards. Upon landing safely in an alley, Ash pulled out the bottle of potion to heal little Pikachu. "And now, we heal, alright!" Then he saw some young children, complaining about having no money for potion to heal their injured Pokemon. He looked at Pikachu. Ash took pity on them, and offered them his share of the potion. "Here, go on and take it," he sighed. The kids gratefully accepted his gift, and he patted them on the heads.

Then, they heard some noise, so they went to the street to investigate.

A very pompous-looking man was riding a Rapidash.

"On his way to the sultan, I suppose…" said some townsperson. "Another suitor for Misty…" agreed another.

The kids whom Ash had helped earlier ran out excitedly to pet the Rapidash.

"Hey! Get out of my way, you filthy, mangy brats!" yelled Rudy, raising his whip.

"Hey, you!" said Ash, standing up for the kids, letting the whip snap around his forearm. "If I were as rich as you, I'd afford some manners!" he finished, throwing the whip back in Pikachu's face.

"Ugh! I'll teach you some manners!" he shouted, offended.

Rudy shoved Ash onto the ice. Everyone laughed.

Pikachu grew very angry and sparks were coming out of its cheeks.

"Look at that, Pikachu;" said Ash. "it's not everyday you see a Rapidash with two rear-ends!"

That did around and really treated Ash. "Ha! You are a worthless, pathetic street-Raticate! You we're born a midget, you'll die a midget street-Raticate, and only your fleas will mourn you!" he said. The doors to the sultan's palace slammed shut.

"WHY, Y-Y-YOU! I'm not worthless… and I don't have fleas! Grrrrrrrrr!" yelled Ash. "Come on Pikachu, let's go home,"

Ash and Pikachu skated on home.

"rif-raff, street-Raticate,

Hope it's not too late.

If only they'd look closer

Would they see a poor boy? No siree…

They'd find out

There's so much more

To me…"

"Some day, little buddy… things are going to change; we'll be rich… live in a palace, and not have any problems at all."

(The lights dimmed again, and then turned back on again)

By the next morning at the palace, things weren't going so well. The suitor was no longer interested in Misty. "I've never been so insulted!" he said.

"Leaving so soon, are you?" asked Brock.

"Good luck marrying her off!" yelled Rudy.

"Ooh, Misty…" said Brock. "Mist... Misty…"

All of a sudden, the evolved form of Meowth, jumped up in front of him, in an attempt to scare the Pewter Gym leader.

"Now- stop- I- ugh! Confounded, Persian! So, this is why the suitor stormed out!"

"Oh Father, Persian was just playing with him," Misty insisted. "Weren't you, Persian? You were just playing with that over-dressed, self-absorbed suitor, weren't you?"

Persian meowed very loudly.

Brock frowned. Misty awkwardly cleared her throat.

"Mist, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor who comes to call!" said the Pewter City gym leader. "The law says you…"

"'must be married to a prince, or a gentleman's son,'" Misty finished for him.

"By your next birthday," he added.

"The law is wrong! I hate that stupid law…" sighed Misty.

"You've only got three more days!"

"Brock, I hate being forced into this," Misty explained. "If I do marry… I want it to be for love."

"Misty, it's not only this law. I'm not going to be around forever and… I just want to make sure you're taken care of, provided for…"

"Please, try to understand; I've never done a thing on my own, I've never had any real friends…" said Misty.

Persian yowled.

"Except you, Persian!" said Misty.

Satisfied, Persian went back to minding its own business.

"I've never even seen the outside world!" said Misty.

"But Misty, you're a princess!" said Brock.

"Then maybe I don't want to be a princess anymore!" she yelled.

"OOOH! I- Heaven forbid you should have any daughters!" said Brock to Persian. Persian was confused.

(The lights dimmed again, and then turned back on again)

Talking to himself now, Brock went inside to think about the situation. "I don't know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn't nearly so picky…"

Colonel Hansel skated up.

"Oh, Hansel, my most trusted servant. I am in desperate need of your assistance!" said Brock.

"My life is but to serve you, Master," said Colonel Hansel.

"It's this suitor business, Misty refuses to choose a husband. I'm at my wit's end! " he explained.

"Ah, wit's end!" Murkrow repeated.

Getting distracted by Murkrow, Brock tied a bow in his hair. "Oh! Have a cracker, Murkrow!"

"Ha ha ha!" laughed Colonel Hansel. "My master certainly has a way with dumb blondes!" Murkrow glared at Colonel hansel. "Now then, perhaps I can devise a solution to this…thorny problem…"

"If anyone can help it's you," said Brock.

"…but, it would require the use of…a ring," said Colonel Hansel.

"Oh…the ring?" said Brock. "But it's been in the family for years. I was planning on passing it on to Misty after she got married…"

"It's necessary to find Princess Misty a husband… don't worry, everything will be fine…" said Colonel Hansel, hypnotizing the Pewter City gym leader with the Arbok staff.

"'Everything will be… fine,'" repeated Brock.

"The ring?"

Brock slowly handed Colonel Hansel the ring. "Here…Hansel… whatever you need will… be… fine,"

Colonel Hansel snatched it away, and released him form the mind-control. "You are most gracious, my liege! Now, run along and play with your little toys…"

"Yes, that would be… very good…"

Murkrow waited until he and Colonel Hansel were out of sight… then spat out the cracker! "I can't take it anymore!" he screamed. "If I've got to bite down, while that…"

Colonel Hansel skated to his secret lair.

"…BAM! WHACK!" Murkrow continued.

"Calm yourself, Murkrow," said Colonel Hansel, ascending a secret staircase. "Soon the power will be mine!"

"And then, I get to . Ha ha!"

(The lights dimmed for a few minutes, and then it came back on)

That night, Misty put on a disguise and snuck out. She started to climb up the stairs to the outside world, when Persian pulled on her dress, beseeching her not to go.

"Mrrr-eeooww..."

"Oh, I'm sorry Persian," she said, sorrow in her voice. "But I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I love you, and I'll miss you." She hugged it and then left. "Goodbye,"

Persian was sad.

( the lights began to dim for a few minutes, and then come back on again)

The next morning in the marketplace, Ash and Pikachu had already devised a scheme to obtain breakfast.

"Okay, Pikachu… go!" said Ash.

Pikachu saluted, swung down under the fruit stand, grabbed a watermelon…everything was going according to plan.

"Try this, your taste buds will dance and sing!" said the salesman. Then he saw Pikachu trying to steal a melon!

"Why you!" Distracted, he put the watermelon he was holding down.

"PIKA!" Pikachu cried out.

"Get away from there you cursed filthy, mangy pokemon!" While he had his back turned, Ash swiped the melon he had just left unattended to. The salesman was befuddled.

"Pikachu," smiled Pikachu, as it hopped back up onto the top of the stand.

"All right, Pikachu," said Ash, breaking the melon open on his knee. "Breakfast is served!"

Meanwhile, Misty was curiously skating through the marketplace. Everyone was hawking something!

"Buy a pot! No finer pot in brass or silver!"

"RageCandy bar! Berry juice! RageCandybar and Diveballs!"

"Would the lady like a necklace? A pretty necklace for a pretty lady!"

"Magikarp! I catch them, you buy them!" That salesman startled her.

"Oh, I don't think so," She accidentally backed into a fire-eater, who burped out the flame. He also blew her cover briefly.

"I'm really, very sorry!" she said.

Ash had only just noticed her. "Wow!" he said. That must be Misty, he thought to himself. When she went away, I missed her alot and I thought about her everyday.

Pikachu cried out in pokemon language, as it tried to snap Ash out of his gaze as Misty put her disguise back on.

"Oh, you must be hungry," said Misty to a little boy, reaching up at a fruit stand. "Here you go!" She handed him an apple.

"You'd better be able to pay for that…" said Loudred, as the big old salesman.

"Pay?" said Misty.

"No one steals from my cart!" growled Loudred.

"I'm sorry, Sir… I don't have any money." said Misty.

"THIEF!"

"If you let me go back to the border of the city I can get some… from, from the sultan…" she protested.

Loudred didn't listen. It slammed Misty's arm down on the stand and took out its sword. "Do you know what the penalty is for STEALING!" it asked.

"No! No, please!" cried Misty. Just then, Ash grabbed Loudred's arm.

"Oh thank you, kind sir! You've found her. I've been looking all over for you…" he said, pretending to know Misty for the Ice Capades when he actually knew her. "What are you doing?" asked Misty.

"Just play along!" whispered Ash.

"You… know this girl?" asked Loudred, confused.

"Sadly, yes. She is my sister," said Ash. "She's a little crazy!"

Offended, Misty just uttered an, "Ugh!"

"She said she knew the sultan!" said Loudred. Ash was prepared for that too.

"She thinks this little Pikachu is a sultan!" he said, looking over at Pikachu. The lightning mouse pokemon was pick-pocketing, but then it grinned innocently.

Misty, willing to sacrifice her dignity rather than her hand, played along and pretended to think that Pikachu was a sultan. "Oh, wise Pikachu, take me to the sultan." Pikachu played its part, too, and patted her pitifully on the head.

"Tragic isn't it?" said Ash, pretending to return the apple. "But, no harm done. Come on 'Sis' time to go see the doctor…"

"Oh, hello Doctor, how are you?" said Misty to a Camerupt.

"No, no, no, not that one…" muttered Ash. "Come on 'sis,'"

Pikachu tried to give a bow and a grand exit, but it ended up dropping a bunch of stolen goods. Loudred made a menace of himself and Ash, Pikachu and Misty skated away.

(lights dimmed for a few minutes, and then come back on again)

Meanwhile, in the secret lair, Murkrow was running on a treadmill kind-of thing.

"With all-do respect… your rottenness, couldn't we just wait for a real storm?" he panted.

"Save your breath, Murkrow! Faster!" ordered Colonel Hansel.

"Yes, oh my evil one!" said Murkrow. And faster he ran.

"Sands if time, reveal to me the one who may enter the Cave," said Colonel Hansel, looking into an hourglass, and spying Ash.

"Yes, yes, there he is; my diamond in the rough!"

"That's him?" screeched Murkrow. "That's the guy we've been waiting-" he stopped running and got mashed around and around in the treadmill. "FOOOA AH WHOA! WHOA!"

"Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace… shall we?"

Murkrow got slammed into the wall. "Swell," he said with a cough.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Colonel Hansel.

-

That evening, Ash helped Misty up to his "pad." When she tripped over the"rooftop," he caught her. It was awkward…but they both knew what the other was thinking.

"I want to thank you for stopping that man," said Misty.

"Uh, forget it. So, this is your first time in the market place, huh?" asked Ash as he pole-vaulted over to the next rooftop.

"Is it that obvious?"

"Heh, well you do kind of stand out…" said Ash. Misty just smiled and accepted the compliment. "I mean, uh, you don't seem to know how dangerous the marketplace can be-"

Misty performed the 2-foot spin, then she jumped and then she performed the off-ice spin. Ash had just set down as a "bridge."

"Hey. I'm a fast learner!" she said, tossing the pole to Ash.

Ash told his Pikachu to jump over.

Pikachu was just sitting there going what the heck!

"Oh, watch your head there," said Ash, guiding Misty underneath a hanging piece of wood. "Over here."

"Is this where you live?" asked Misty.

"Yep. Just me and my Pikachu. Come and go as we please."

"It sounds fabulous!"

"Well, it's not much… but it's got a great view!" he pulled open a curtain, and showed her the palace. "The palace looks pretty amazing, huh?"

Not thrilled, Misty replied. "Oh, it's wonderful."

"I wonder what it'd be like to live there, and have servant, and valets, and live like a Pokemon master…"

"Sure. People to tell you where to go and how to dress…"

"Well, it's better than here. We're always scraping for potions, and ducking the guards…"

"You're not free to make your own choices…"

"Sometimes you feel like you're…"

"You're just… trapped!" they said together.

"So, uh, where are you from?" asked Ash, grabbing an apple from Pikachu and handing it to her.

"What does it matter?" asked Misty, rhetorically. "I ran away and I am not going back!"

"Really?" asked Ash, as he gave a rare candy to Pikachu. "How come?"

"Pikachu..." sighed Pikachu

"Brock's forcing me to get married."

"Oh that's, that's awful!" said Ash. Then he saw that Pikachu was trying to steal the apples away from Misty.

"PIKACHU!"

"Pika..." groaned Pikachu.

"What?" said Misty.

"Uh, Pikachu says… that's not fair!" Ash translated.

Pikachu had no idea why he said that. That's not what he'd meant at all!

"Oh did he?" asked Misty.

"Yeah," said Ash. "Of course."

"Really?" asked Misty. "And does Pikachu have anything else to say?"

"Well, uh, he wishes there was something he could do to help."

"Pikachu!" .

"Tell it that's very… sweet." Misty and Ash leaned in.

"HERE YOU ARE!" growled an Exploud guard.

"They're after me! They're after you!" Misty and Ash said together.

"Oh, Brock must've sent them to-"

"Do you trust me?"

"What?"

"DO YOU TRUST ME!"

"Yes…" said Misty. She took his hand.

"Then shut up and JUMP!" They performed the 2-foot spin, then they jumped and they performed the off-ice spinning from the"loft" and landed on a pile of "sand".Ash bumped right smack-dab into another Exploud guard.

"We just keep running into each other, don't we Street-Raticate?" sneered the Exploud.

"Run!" yelled Ash. Pikachu encountered the guard with its thunderbolt, but got thrown into a pot anyway. Ash only encountered more Exploud guards. "No, get out of here!"

"It's the dungeon for you, Boy!" said the Exploud.

"Why you...let him go, now!" yelled Misty, hitting the Exploud.

"Lookie-here men, a street-Marril!" he said, shoving her to the ground. "Ha ha ha!"

"Unhand him!" yelled Misty, removing her cloak. "By order of the princess of Ever Grande!"

Shocked, the Explouds bowed. "Princess Misty…" said the leader.

"A princess?" whispered Ash.

"What are you doing outside the palace walls? And with this street-Raticate?" the Exploud inquired.

"That's not your concern, do as I demand; release him-NOW!" Misty repeated as she grew furious.

"I would, Princess Misty, but my orders come from Colonel Hansel. You'll have to take it up with him."

"Believe me, I will!" said Misty, squinting her eyes.

(The lights dimmed again, and then turned back on again)

That night, when Colonel Hansel was sneaking out of a hidden passageway, Misty skated in.

"Colonel Hansel?"

Not wanting her to see what he'd been up to,Colonel Hansel slammed the 'wall' shut, with Murkrow still stuck in it. "Colonel, I'm stuck!" he gasped.

"How may I be of service to you, Misty?" asked Colonel Hansel.

"The guards just took a boy from the market, on your orders!"

"The Pewter City Gym Leader has charged me with keeping peace in the town. The boy was a criminal," Colonel Hansel explained.

"What! What was his crime?" asked Misty.

"I can't breathe, Colonel-"

"Why, kidnapping a princess, of course!" said Colonel Hansel.

"Colonel, I just can't breathe-" Murkrow kept gasping until Colonel Hansel, sick of it all, slammed the 'wall' back into blace with his foot. "AGH! That hurt!"

"NO! He didn't kidnap me, I ran away!" said Misty.

"Oh dear!" said Colonel Hansel. "How frightfully upsetting, had I but known!"

"What do you mean?" asked Misty. "Haven't you heard of 'innocent until proven guilty,'?"

"Sadly, the boy's sentence is already being carried out."

"What sentence?" asked Misty.

"Death," whispered Colonel Hansel.

Misty gasped and sat down in shock

"By beheading."

"No…" gasped Misty in disbelief.

"I am exceedingly sorry, Misty," said Colonel Hansel.

"How could you?" said Misty in dismay and in horror, as she twirled off, crying.

Finally, Murkrow got the 'wall' open, and came out, frazzled and panting. "So, how did it go?" he asked.

"I think she took it… rather well!" said Colonel Hansel.

(The lights faded out as the scenes were changing, and then turned back on)

That night, Misty was crying in her room. Persian came to comfort her. "It's all my fault, Persian," she said, wiping away all of her tears. "…I didn't even know his name." Persian hugged her as she cried onto his shoulder.

(The lights began to dim again for a few minutes, and then turned back on)

In the dungeon, Ash was struggling in shackles.

"Ugh! She was a princess, I can't believe it. I must've sounded so STUPID to her!" Just then, he saw Pikachu up in a window. "Hey, Pikachu! Down here!" Pikachu hopped down. "Can you come on, help me out of these!" But before freeing this Pokemon trainer, Pikachu scolded him, by pointing its finger and doing an impression of Misty. "Hey, she was in trouble! Ah, she was worth it," sighed Ash. Pikachuonly mumbled as it picked the lock. "Don't worry,little buddy, we'll never see her again. She's a princess, remember? And there's a law; she's got to marry a prince…she deserves a prince." Messaging his wrists he sighed "I'm a… I'm a fool. This is so stupid"

"You're only a fool if you give up, Boy!" came a creepy voice.

"Who are you?" asked Ash.

The old, hunchback-man waddled over with his cane. "A lonely prisoner like yourself, but together… perhaps we can be more!" he said.

"…I'm listening," said Ash.

"Pikachu?" asked Pikachu.

"There is a tomb, Boy, an Ancient Tomb, filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams!" he said, showing them some rubies.

"Pika!" gawked Pikachu.

"Treasure enough to impress even your girl, I'd wager! Why, you could even show the world that you're a Pokemon Master!" said the old man again, concealing them and hopping away.

Murkrow was hiding in the man's cloak, sweating. "Hansel, could you hurry up? I'm dying in here!"

"But the law says only a prince can marry a prince, that or-"

"You've heard of The Golden Rule, haven't you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules!" the man said, grinning with drooley teeth.

"So, why would you want to share all this treasure with me?" asked Ash, a little suspicious.

"I need a stiff back and a pair of strong legs to go in after it, what do you say…do we have a deal?"

"Uh, one problem: it's out there…we're in here," said Ash.

"Mm-mm-mm!" said the old man. He used his cane to push back a brick, and reveal a secret passageway. "Things aren't always what they seem."

Ash and Pikachu looked at each other. "Pika? Pi, Pika? Pikachu?" shrugged Pikachu.
