Chapter Nine: On our Way

Ash, Misty, Brock and the rest of the group were getting ready for their 'out of dimension' trip. Excitement filled the air; it was just like the old days, when they ventured into new places and meeting new people. It was wonderful to feel like a child again…

"I can't wait to see another world. Do you think it will be anything like your world or mine?" Max asked the golden lion as it smiled sitting on a huge boulder.

"Could be Max. But who knows…it could be very, very different to the one you're in now." Sedmet said trying to impress the child. He blinked twice staring up at Sedmet it sheer amazement.

"Cool!" max beamed.

"You know, this kinda reminds me of our journeys when we were younger!" Ash chuckled, feeling the cold wind of the night caress his hair.

"Yeah." Misty smiled thinking of all the things that could happen on their trip.

"'Sob' This is so wonderful! 'Sob'" Brock grabbed Misty and Ash into a bone crushing hug, turning Ash blue. "It will be just like old times! Travelling the wide-open spaces! Going where no one else has dared to go! It will be like reliving the day our friendship grew!"

To Misty and Ash's dismay, Brock was getting a little over emotional. They rolled their eyes, not knowing weather to scream at Brock for them to let go or burst out laughing.

"¬.¬U He definitely needs a girlfriend!" Misty whispered to Ash, while Brock was still in merriment.

"¬.¬U Yeah, a friendship preacher or something." Ash replied.

(A.NZ Star: Sorry, she already has a boyfriend! No offence to Téa fans. Téa is my third favourite character from Yugioh; I just added that for humour! And for the Téa bashers!)

"Hey guys, did you hear something?" Ella asked blinking twice.

"No." Ash said looking confused, but got out of Brock's vice like grip.

"It was probably the wind, or a stray Pokemon wandering around." Gary informed the lioness.

"Or the authoress again." Sedmet rolled his eyes.

"Hmm…Anyway I better get the portal ready." The cat girl went off back to the lake where the portal was, she didn't like going near it by herself but it would have been to dangerous to let anyone be near by when she opened a new world.

"Well, here it goes." Ella took out Misty's Cascade Tear that the redhead let her borrow. She slowly dipped the ancient necklace into the pond, making ripples run in the water. She muttered a few words in a Swahili. When She finished chanting, she felt the world shake beneath her.

"Ahh!" Before Ella fell in, she felt a hand grabbing her arm and was pulled back on her feet.

"Are you Ok Ella?" She was met with a blue pair of eyes that belonged to a girl Ella was always glad to see.

"Yeah I'm fine Misty, I'm just tired." Ella said.

"Ok. Thanks for doing this for me Ella." Misty smiled.

"No problem Mist. I'm sure you'd do the same for me. Well Sedmet and me better get home for some rest." Ella said dusting herself off and handing the Cascade Tear to misty.

"Yeah, say hello to Timon and Pumbaa for me." Misty smiled as Ella went off to get her twin brother.

After they went back to Pride Rock, everyone else went home to get ready for their journey.

MISTY'S HOUSE

Misty fiddled with the blue diamond necklace, wondering about a certain Grandmother…

How could someone break somebody's heart like that? All Shinju did was love him. But he played her as a fool… I hope I never get my heart broken like that.

With that final thought she dozed off to sleep.

ASH'S HOUSE

Ash climbed into his bed and shut off the light, making himself comfortable.

"Night dear! And don't over sleep!" Mrs. Ketchem hollered sweetly from the bottom of the staircase.

"-.-; Good night Mom! Good night Pikachu." Ash said, resting his head on his soft pillow. He smiled as Pikachu rested on the edge of the bed

"Good night Ash. Don't let the bedbugs bite." Pikachu giggled.

"Bedbugs?" Ash whimpered. "O.O… AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Ash screamed as he clinged onto his blankets.

"Why did I have say that? -.-;" Pikachu mumbled to himself, slapping his forehead.

PRIDE ROCK

Sedmet and Ella were in Pride Rock ready to go to bed, but…

"Sedmet, Ella dear. Are you sure you've done everything?" Sarabi, the mother of the pair, asked.

"Yes mother, can we go to sleep now!" Ella growled, laying comfortably on the rock in her lioness form.

"Have you packed? Washed yourselves? Taken…what are they called again?… Oh yes cloths. And packed you're weapons?" Sarabi asked ignoring Ella's last question.

"YES!" Ella and Sedmet yelled, desperately wanting to go to sleep.

"Mum, please we know all about the human world and we've double-checked everything." Sedmet informed Sarabi, while letting out a yawn.

"Well, mother is right. You can never be to prepared." Their eldest brother, Simba had pointed out. Yet no one asked how he appeared out of nowhere?

"Simba!" Ella growled, telling him not to encourage their mother. Sarabi smiled at her children,

"It's good to hear. Now gets some rest. Goodnight." Sarabi said sweetly, going to her rock.

"-.-; Goodnight Mum." Sedmet and Ella mumbled before entering into the land of nod.

(A.N: I know how they feel. My Mum can be like that sometimes too. ¬.¬)

BROCK'S HOUSE

Brock was in bed, having his usual dreams. Disturbing dreams, that would probably haunt whoever had the misfortune of seeing them. But lucky for us, we are used to this kind of strange behaviour from Brock. Well… most of his weird behaviour…

DREAM

Brock was on cloud nine, literally. Clouds had surrounded him in the sapphire night sky. He was waiting someone, and then he saw her! His breath was taken away instantly.

"You're here! I have been waiting for this all my life! I can't believe it's you! Blue Eyes!" Brock gasped, love hearts appearing from his eyes. Before him was with a girl with short chestnut brown hair and pastel blue eyes. She was very tall, taller then Brock in fact, making him look like a midget.

"You're more handsome than I ever imagined!" Gasped the girl that Brock called Blue Eyes, since he did not know her real name yet. Brock only knew Blue Eyes by online dating, and has recently hooked up with her.

"Oh yes, it was true love that brought us together!" Brock proclaimed, loud enough for the entire planet to hear. Yes, he would have even made the famous romantic Romeo proud. Not...

"Kiss me you no-eyed idiot!" Blue Eyes begged holding out her arms. Brock immediately ran to the girl, but when he got there. Well…

"Come here baby!" Brock said moving his eyebrows up and down a lot, while running. Before he knows it, the girl suddenly transformed into a stone wall and he collided with it

"OWW! Where did she go? Hot girl? Hot girl? HOT GIRL?"

END OF DREAM

"HOT GIRL? AHHHH!" Brock screamed like Homer Simpson, quickly sitting up on his bed. "Oh, it was just a bad dream! Well, I hope meeting Blue Eyes won't be a catastrophe in real life! I can't wait to see her in Domino City! Hold on my love Blue Eyes! Brocky-poo is coming!"

(A.N: O.O…ookkkkaaayy… that was a little weird.)

MISTY'S HOUSE

Misty was still asleep, but could not stop turning and twisting, for she was about to have a nightmare of her own.

DREAM

Misty was standing in a dark cold alleyway, with the moonlight shining down at her. Misty wrapped her arms around her body to keep warm. She looked around and did not like what she saw. Everything was so creepy. Suddenly she saw a boy in the shadows, running so fast, that she couldn't even get a glance at his face.

"MISTY NO!" He screamed.

"Huh? What's going on?" Misty questioned herself. "I'm over here!"

But the boy did not here her; it was like she was invisible. Misty decided to run after the stranger, it was obvious he was looking for her or trying to rescue her. But why? She didn't have any idea who he was.

"Hey wait! I'm right here!" Misty called again. But still the little guy did not reply. All of a sudden he came to a complete stop.

"No!" He sobbed.

By the time Misty caught up to the mysterious stranger, he was on his knees with his face in his hands. Sobbing, his appearance covered by the shadows in the dark alleyway, so Misty still couldn't see him. But she could tell tears were gracing his cheeks.

"No! NO! This can't be happening! I can't believe I let them take you like that…" The boy cried, punching the hard concrete ground.

Why is he so upset? The poor boy… Misty thought "Don't cry. What's the matter?"

But before Misty could even get close to him, two giant, terrifying beasts, hidden from the shadows pounced on her! They made a deafening roar and tried to attack Misty!

END OF DREAM

"AAAAAHHHH!" Misty breathed heavily, sweat coming off her forehead. "Oh, oh, it was just a nightmare! Thank god! But it was so strange…who was that guy? And why was he so upset? That is it! No more midnight snacks!"

She rested her head on her pillow again, trying to get back to sleep after her awful dream.

But who is he…Misty thought before finally going to sleep.

THE NEXT MOURNING

It was morning and everybody was ready, back at the lake. Despite the distractions from last night…

"Hey Misty, you look awful. Didn't you get any sleep last night?" Ash asked. Misty did look awful, she looked very pale and had dark circles under her eyes.

"No. I had a bad dream which I couldn't stop thinking about! It kept me up till 5:00 PM!" Misty growled.

"You're not the only one who didn't get any sleep! Ash kept me up all night complaining about bedbugs!" Pikachu said, crossing his arms.

"HEY! I had a bad experience with one of them and it scared me for LIFE!" Ash exclaimed, with everyone giving him weird look.

"Ash, who are you talking to?" Brock asked.

"Pikachu, who else?" Ash said, like it was no big deal. This "O.o" was the look of Brock, Tracey and Misty's faces.

"Everybody ready?" Ella said

"Yep!" Chirped Tracey.

"Yeah, it's only Gary, May and Max who have to get here!" Ash informed his girlfriend.

"Here I am!" Gary cheered, carrying his suitcase along with him to the group.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Ash yelled at his rival.

"SO WHAT?" Gary yelled back.

"IF MAY AND MAX WERE HERE NOW WE'D BE LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!"

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

Out of nowhere a ear-splitting whistle could be heard, everyone looked at Tracey who was wearing a referee costume. "Red card!" Tracey yelled, holding out a redcard.

"Why can't you two be friends?" Ella asked.

"Because HE is an idiot!" Gary exclaimed.

"I am not the idiot STUPID!" Ash yelled.

"OH YEAH!"

"YEAH!"

But before another argument could occur,

"OK, Now that is really getting annoying!" Misty said, well, shouted.

"Come on, we both know you're good friends!" Brock smirked.

"You aren't fooling anyone!" Sedmet smiled.

"So shake hands and make up!" Ella said. But Gary and Ash took one look at each other and turned away.

"Humph! ¬.¬"

"DO IT! OR I'LL CLAW YOU TO DEATH!" Sedmet threatened.

"O.O" Were the faces of Gary and Ash, so they decided it was best to get it over with and shake hands.

"Hi Buddy! It's great to see you!" Ash chirped, faking a smile.

"Same to you friend!" Gary said, mustering a smile. But then all of a sudden hug each other by everyone's surprise!

"OoO;" Were the look on Pikachu's, Sedmet and Ella's faces and O.OU were Brock, Tracey & Misty's faces.

O.O Ash and Gary realised what they were doing, they immediately let go of each other. They felt really embarrassed, while Ella was smiling happily and the rest were dumbfounded.

"'Shudders' That was very disturbing!" Ash muttered under his breath.

"Why did I do that!" Gary asked himself.

"Maybe its because you secretly miss being close friends!" Pikachu suggested.

"You're lucky no one else can understand you but me!" Ash growled, glaring at the little mouse, making everyone make this face O.o;;;

"Ok…" Ella said. "Come on Sparkscat!" As she yelled, a small lion like cat with glistening scales all over its body.

"HUBBA! HUBBA! Hello beautiful!" Pikachu smirked flirtatiously at the cat.

"In you're dreams!" Sparkscat purred.

"We'll see about that!" Pikachu exclaimed, laying on the floor and falling asleep immediately and snores REALLY loudly! Like a warthog with a cold!

(A.N: Don't own the Simpsons! I didn't the last 3 lines! Nobody can sue me!)

"I am glad no one else could hear that!" Ash muttered to himself.

Then out of nowhere, the two youngest kids of the group came running, gasping for breath. It wasn't easy being where they had to be on time with the weight of their suitcases.

"Sorry we're late!" Max huffed. "But somebody forgot to do all their packing last night!"

"Hey! I was tired!" May snapped at her brother. "I thought if I had an early night and do my packing in the morning!"

"And now we are LATE!" Max yelled back at his older sister. "It took you 2 hours just to pick out you're under wear!"

Max and May continued to argue, nothing Ash, Misty, Tracey, Gary or Brock could do would calm them down.

"ROOOOOAAAAARRR!" Everyone jumped in their place, when they heard a thunderous roar coming from the lion twins, who got sick of all the loud noise.

"Eeep!" Squeaked Max and May who hugged each other for protection.

"That got your attention!" Sedmet chuckled.

"We've gotta go now!" Ella exclaimed.

"Exactly! We have no time to lose!" Misty reminded everyone. Now that everyone was here they could go on their exciting trip! But sadly there were more distractions!

"Hold on one moment! Ahem Sedmet…" Ella looked at her brother, crossing her arms. Everyone blinked twice and started staring at Sedmet too.

"What?" Sedmet asked, blinking a few times, before realising what his sister was talking about. "Oh no! You can't make me!" Before Sedmet could runaway, Ella grabbed his tail and yelled,

"Yes I can! Now you do it! Unless you wanna be put in a zoo the second we're in Domino!"

"Fine!" Sedmet growled, when his sister finally let go of his tail. He concentrated hard and his eyes glowed gold. So did his body and then changed its shape…

"OoO!" Were the looks and everyone's faces and this "o.o;" Was Ella's face.

"OH MY GOD!" Ash screamed covering his eyes.

"MY EYES ARE BURNING!" Brock screamed too, covering his eyes as well. But didn't he know he hasn't got any eyes?

"WHOA!" Was all Misty could say, covering her eyes in embarrassment.

"…Wow…" May said blushing.

"OoO Now I've seen everything…" Max muttered.

"Max, May cover your eyes!" Tracey chided like an old lady, putting his hands over his eyes.

"O.O I am not going to say anything…" Gary said.

"SEDMET! COVER UP!" Ella shrieked, running up to her brother.

Sedmet was in his human form; he had red, short shoulder length hair with black streaks similar to his sisters. He still had his tail and cat features like Ella. But there was one problem…

"Why is everyone staring at me?" Sedmet asked, the poor innocent lion didn't know his own humiliation.

Sedmet looked down at himself to see he was…

"AAAAAHHH! I'm naked! Just like in those books in human biology!"

Wearing nothing. He absolutely died of embarrassment! He had to cover his 'private' parts with his hands until Ella found him a red shirt and brown combat trousers and more spare clothes. Let's just say his private parts weren't so private to the gang anymore. But now, finally, FINALLY, the guys could go on their trip without anymore interruptions!

"Everyone ready now!" Ella asked.

"Yes!" Misty smiled. Until…

"WAIT A MINUTE!" All the boys chorused at once. Would they never get to their destination?

"Where are we going to stay?" Tracey asked.

"Where we gonna eat?" Ash asked.

"Do we even have any money?" Gary asked.

"Are there even any Pokemon there?" Max asked.

"Yeah, maybe I could get a little girlfriend!" Pikachu smiled.

"Men. They're all the same!" Sparkscat shook her head.

"What about other animals? Will there be any other animals?" Sedmet asked.

"AND WHERE THE HELL AM I GONNA COOK?" Brock asked like a crazy maniac with his pan in hand.

This was what all the girls had on their faces "--;"

"Ok SHUT UP for a sec!" Misty began. "We will be staying in my sister's old apartment, by ourselves! Where there will be plenty of food and money when we get there."

"WWHHHOOOO!" Ash and Gary chorused doing a weird, voodoo, victory dance. Earning a few weird glances.

"And unfortunately there will be no Pokemon there and the only animals you'll see there will be tamed." Misty said.

"Aww…" Sedmet and Max groaned in disappointment.

"Oh well, unless they let their Pokemon out it's just you and me Sparkscat baby. Alone…" Pikachu smirked, lowering his eyebrows.

"Oh-no!" Sparkscat groaned.

"BUT WHERE WILL I DO MY DAMN COOKING? Brock yelled violently, it looked like he was about to turn psycho. But Misty could stop him!

"…D-don't worry B-brock, you'll get to do l-lots of cooking." Misty stuttered, backing away from the psycho Brock.

"Phew! I thought I was about to have a heart attack! Or go psycho… Ha, ha, ha, ha. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BRWAHAHAHAHA! HA!" Brock laughed like a loony person, scaring everyone back into a corner.

"Don't worry readers, he can't go psycho. Not in this chapter." Ella said, grabbing onto Ash's arm.

"Come on let's go! I wanna see the new place!" Ash complained.

"And the sooner we get there, the sooner I can figure out the mystery of the Cascade Tear!" Misty exclaimed, punching her fist in the air.

"And the sooner I get to meet my Blue Eyes!" Brock said dreamily.

"WHAT!" Everyone shouted in confusion.

"Umm… Nothing! I meant nothing!" Brock nervously laughed, this time he was backing away from the group.

"…Ok, get ready and hold on to your luggage!" Ella instructed, like those air hostesses. She started chanting next to the lake, soon a blue fire came from and began to grow massively, turned into a whirl-wind which picked up everyone in it's path! Now they could finally they were on their journey"
