Chapter Thirteen: To The Library! And Beyond!
It was a cold, brisk morning, down the streets of Domino. It seemed almost deserted, but what place wouldn't be at at 7:20 am in the morning? Misty couldn't help but breath in the fresh air that caressed her skin. But the peace wouldn't last for long. Not with the loud, thumping foot steps behind her.
"Misty!" A young, feminine voice called to her. She stopped and turned to the sight. There were all her friends running behind her. It was the strangest sight. Ella was giving a snoozing Ash a piggy back ride with Pikachu on his shoulder. Max and May were still in their pajama's and slipper's. Brock was carrying his cooking pan, with Tracey clutching to it as well and Gary and Sedmet were doing nothing out of the ordinary.
"Let go Tracey! It's mine!" Brock growled, tugging at the pan.
"NO! I love cooking more then you do! You WERE the chef around here once! But it's my job now!" Tracey replied, clenching his teeth. He held to the pan tighter!
"In your dreams!" Brock screamed. The tug of war kept going.
"Why did you drag me out in my Eevee pajama's!" Max exclaimed, with his sisters tight grip on his hand.
"Because we had no time to change!" May shouted. "Everyone would have left without us! And besides, you're a slow dresser!"
"ME! Look who's talking!" Max scowled.
"'SNOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!' Banana milkshakes!" Ash grunted in his sleep. Ella shook her head.
"The things men dream about." She said rolling her eyes. "Eww! Ash stop drooling on my shoulder!"
"Guys!" Misty's eyes went to the size of melons. The others came to a dead stop, you could hear the floor screeching from the friction of the other's shoes. "What are you doing here?"
"Us? What are you doing at 7:20 AM and out on the streets, when normal people are asleep!" Max exclaimed, earning a slap round the head from his big sister. "Ow!"
"Well Max, this is the reason." Misty took out the Cascade Tear from under her sweater and showed the glowing gem to everyone.
"Oh… pretty…" Ella and Sedment cooed, hypnotised under the jewel's trance.
"I contacted my sisters last night, and they said I could do some research in the 'Domino Library'. They said I could find clues there to open the Cascade Tear."
"And you picked this time in the morning to go!" Gary growled.
"Well I didn't say you had to follow me." Misty said, rolling her eyes.
"But you knew we were going to follow you anyway!" Ella said. "Besides it was Ash's idea."
"Then why is he asleep?" Misty asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well he did wake up to follow you but then went back to sleep. We wouldn't have followed you if he didn't get us so damned curious!" Sedmet barked.
"Well come on. Let's go somewhere and have breakfast, then we'll head to the library." Misty smiled.
"DID SOMEONE SAY BREAKFAST!" Ash chirped, waking up from his sleep. He nearly knocked Pikachu off in the process. "… Hey… why am I still in my pajama's? And why is Ella giving me a piggy back ride!"
THE UNDERWORLD
"At last, my plan will be set in motion." Amaya smirked, petting Apel. With the other hand she held Rhea the mirror. The gypsies face didn't appear this time, instead it showed the Pokemon trainers eating in a small café, stuffing their faces. "Takumi! Yukiko! Are you ready for your mission?"
"Yes madam!" The two small beasts saluted.
"Good. Whatever you do, don't! Lose the girl and her friends. Tell me everything you over heard and don't leave a speck of information out! And don't get caught by anyone! Or else…" The witch threatened. With a wave of her staff, the witch created a portal in the dirty, black floor. She instructed for her two minions to jump in.
"J-jump in!" Yukiko stuttered nervously.
"In there!" Takumi shuddered, looking at the whirling whole.
"GET IN!" Amaya screamed, making the beastly twins jump and fall in.
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Their screaming vanished in a couple of second and the hole vanished.
"You know that was mean." Rhea said, glaring at Amaya.
"I will smash you into pieces ya know. I don't believe in the supersticious mumbo jumbo of seven years bad luck." Amaya sneered.
"Yes m'am." Rhea said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. What did do to deserve this?
EARTH
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A black whole formed in the sky, spitting out Yukiko and Takumi into a dumpster, in an alley. "… Ow!" The two muttered. Pushing the clanking and disguisting rubbish, the beastly twins emerged.
"Where the hell are we?" Yukiko whined, scratching his head.
"Earth you idiot! Remember!" Takumi growled. Hey, you would be in a bad mood too, if you had a huge, throbbing bump on your head. The monsters jumped out of the rubbish tip and sneaked a peek at the Pokemon Trainers, without getting caught or sighted by the humans.
"Shouldn't we take what they say down on paper?" Yukiko asked.
"No, just remember the important stuff about the Cascade Tear." Takumi said airly, his eyes focused on the teens. Yukiko kept an eye out for any wandering people.
Over to the humans, the guys were having breakfast (Duh you knew that).
"Let go Brock!" Tracey growled.
"Not if you don't let go first!"
"Will you both shut up! It's a stupid pan, let it go!" Gary grumbled. He did not know of the enraged actions he had caused.
"Did you just call our pan STUPID!" Tracey and Brock chorused, their eyes glowing blood red. Gary shrinked in his seat and started producing a lot of sweat!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Gary screamed like a little girl and started running for his life. Brock and Tracey shortly followed him down the street, swinging the pan to hit the spiked haired boy, earning strange glances from the passers by.
The others looked at each other like this '-.-;'.
"Pretend we don't know them?" Ash suggested. Everyone nodded, going back to eating and talking.
In the alley Yukiko and Takumi watched in awe.
"Why did the blind man and the British immitater attack that guy?" Yukiko asked.
"I don't know. It must be sacred… Let's steal it for the boss! If it's valuable the boss will want it!" Takumi suggested, beaming like a new born baby.
"OK!" Yukiko giggled, getting a little too excited. So the brothers chased the angry cooking pair, hiding in the shadows, so they wouldn't be unnoticed.
"So…" Ash began curiously. "Why are we outside?"
"Oh I'm not going to explain all that again!" Misty grunted, slapping her forehead. "Ella, can you please tell him?"
"Why not… Ok Ash don't fall asleep while I'm explaining everything Ok? Ash?"
Ash had his head on the table with drool coming out if his mouth. Loud snores also emitted from the boy's mouth.
"O.O He fell asleep AGAIN!" Max gasped, with his mouth touching the table.
"I have an idea, that will wake him up!" Pikachu grinned evilly. His red cheeks gave off high voltage, shocking the boy out of his sleep.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" And Ash jumped up off his seat, nearly high enough to reach the sky.
"Ouch!" May grimaced, watching the boy fly sky high.
"Cool! He can fly!" Max beamed.
"I cannot believe it!" Ella and Misty chorused, also looking at Ash fly.
A few seconds later Ash came back to the ground, hitting it pretty hard.
"OW! Pikachu!" Ash glared at the yellow mouse, who portrayed a look of innocence to escape his master's wrath.
"I'm sorry Ash. I didn't mean to hurt you!" Pikachu said, using his famous chibi eyes.
"… Argh! I hate it when he does that!" Ash growled, getting back in his chair.
"Now where was I? Ok! We're going to the library!"
BROCK, TRACEY, GARY, YUKIKO AND TAKUMI
"Come back here you cad!" Tracey screamed, he and Brock were still chasing Gary! With the monster twins close behind.
"How dare you insult the great pan!" Brock cried.
"It's not great! As I said, it's STUPID! S-T-U-P-I-D! STUPID!" Gary screamed loud enough so the whole city could hear! And sending Tracey and Brock into such rage, that foam was coming out of their mouths! "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"YOU WILL DIE!" Tracey and Brock screeched. Nothing could save him now. Except…
"Must! Get! Pan!" Takumi and Yukiko huffed, running on all fours. They were so exhausted, they felt like they had been running for hours, when it was just a few minutes. Everyone wondered, how long could they could keep running for so long?
"Kids! What are they fed these days!" Takumi gasped, taking in deep breaths.
"Isn't there a way to slow them down without being seen!" Yukiko asked, desperate for a solution.
"Well…"
"AH COME ON! Mama gave you the brains and I got the good looks! NOW USE YOUR DAMN SMART ASS BRAIN OR ELSE!" Yukiko screamed, almost revealing the two monsters to every human.
"SHUT UP DUMB ASS! DO YOU WANT US TO GET CAUGHT!" Takumi yelled in his brother's face. "Besides, I have a plan! You just wouldn't let me finish!" He said calmly rolling his eyes. But Yukiko was still paralized from his big brother's ranting. Even his hair was standing on end.
"All right! No need to yell!" He exclaimed, combing through his hair to flatten it to it's 'normal' shape. Takumi took a strange shaped object out of his pouch. It was a glass bottle filled with a golden liquid, taped around it's waist was an unusual dialect, never seen by human kind before. "What's that?" Simple Yukiko asked. Takumi smirked with a mischevious aurora hanging over him.
"This, my brother, is what will get us our promotion! I stole it from Annubis himself! Not even the boss knows of this potion!" Takumi said, confident in himself. "This the alixer of time."
"What does it do?"
"You'll see…" Takumi turned pulled the cork from the bottle, and threw it over at the humans. In a matter of seconds, something odd occurred. Everyone walked in slow motion, even the growth of the trees, the speed of the light reflecting on everything, the seconds ticking seemed to have stopped.
"… Wow!" Yukiko gasped, his mouth hanging out. "Wha- how!" Takumi patted him on his head.
"Just one of life's many mysteries little bro." Takumi said, but his brother didn't pay attention. He was still in awe. "Come on! Let's get the mighty pan for our boss!"
"Yeah!" Yukiko cheered, getting out of his bewildered phase. They quickly kidnapped the cooking equipment, who wondered what were they doing? Why would anyone want to steal a ordianray cooking appliance? But the pan was just an unanmiated object that had no thoughts or feelings. If it weren't, it wouldn't care about being taken away by these strange creatures. He just didn't want to be in the centre of Brock and Tracey's insane rivaly!
Yukiko and Takumi went back to the shadows as quickly as they appeared. Now it was time to do their real job. Who knows, if they did it right, maybe they would get a promotion? Maybe… if Amaya was in a good mood. But that's as likely to happen as pigs flying across the sky!
When the two brothers left to follow the pokemon trainers, they had already began to make their way to the library and to find the other three friends… or should they be foes? Who knows…
"Brock! Tracey! Gary! Stop acting stupid and psycho so we can find the first clue!" May called out to the men. But no reply followed.
"Where do think they went?" Sedmet asked. "I hope they haven't gotten lost."
"Yeah or we'd have to send a search party out for the idiots." Misty said, rolling her eyes.
"Let me try to call them!" Ash suggested. "GARY! BROCK! TRACEY! GET YOUR BIG BUTTS OUT HERE!" Ash's voice echoed out into the city, managing to make hundreds of the poor elderly people become deaf, breaking windows and setting car alarms off.
"Ow! I'm death!" Ella cried covering her ears. It was mistake for her to stand next to the loud boy.
"My glasses! You broke them!" Max cried, looking at the shattered glass coming apart from his specs.
"Oh don't worry Max, you've got a spare in your pocket remember?" May reminded her brother.
"Oh yeah!" The boy happily reached into his pocket and sported his new specs.
"Ok now that we're all nearly deaf, can we please act like adults?" Misty said.
"Um I don't you can say we're all nearly deaf Misty." Sedmet said tilting his head towards Ella.
"What? Sorry? I can't hear!" Ella yelled.
"Oh no! What have I done! I made my girlfriend deaf!" Ash cried, hugging Ella. "don't worry darling! I'll cure you some day!"
"What? You're getting me a Sunday? Cool! I love ice cream!" Ella smiled innocently, while everyone sweatdropped.
"Oh yeah, and Misty, we're not all adults yet." May pointed out, Max nodded in agreement.
"Ok, ok." Misty muttered. "But can we please hurry up and find the others so we can go to the library!" But as her eyes wandered, she caught the sight of the missing people. "Oh my! Guys look!"
She pointed at the scene of the crime! There was Brock and Tracey, without their coveted pan, still angry at Gary. He on the other hand was scared of his wits, running for his life, as you knew. But something was different. The scene was like a photograoh. Literally!
"What happened to them?" Max asked poking at the statue like trio. Sedmet circled the guys taking a whiff of their scent.
"Ergh! Something smells awful!" Sedmet grimaced, backing away.
"Maybe Gary forgot to shower… for a few YEARS!" Ash giggled. Misty rolled her eyes for the hundrenth time today.
"Ash I don't think it's B.O that's stinking up the joint." Sedmet said. "It smells more like… an alixer." Sedmet pointed out.
"Ash won't think bit's C.E.O bats up the point? What are you talking about?" Ella asked, raising an eyebrow. Being deaf could get you easily confused.
"How long is she going to be deaf for?" May asked.
"Probably for a couple of hours don't worry." Misty said, patting Ella on the shoulder.
"But what are we going to do with the other three? We can't just leave them here…" Max said.
"Why do you think they're standing still anyway?" Ash asked, taking a closer look at his friends and rival.
"I don't know…" Misty sighed.
"I think I know what is wrong!" Sedmet announced.
"What?" Everyone gasped. Even Ella and she had no idea what was going on!
"I think… that two little monsters spilled some of the alixer of time on Brock, Tracey and Gary to steal the pan because they thought it was worth something, when it's not but they don't know that! So they're bringing it back to their boss to get a promotion OR! Just sell it for money!"Sedmet finished, crossing his arms in triumph. Everyone was quiet… no one said anything… but they burst out laughing instead!
"AHAHAHAHA! Good one Sedmet! Sure that's what happened!" Ash laughed, holding his stomach.
"You are so funny! Just when I thought you were the silent and serious type!" May giggled, crying tears of hysteria.
"Oh- oh my! You're funnier then… then! I can't think of anyone right now ahaha!" Misty chuckled.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Was all Max could say. Sedmet frowned, crossing his arms. The poor lion pouted.
"How come no one takes me seriously?" Sedmet whined. Before anyone could answer his rhetorical question, they heard a loud thump to the ground. Brock, Tracey and Gary groaned, with their faces facing the ground. While Gary just lay there, the other two franticly searched for their pan.
"Argh! What happened?" Gary moaned, rubbing his soar head. "I feel like something tried to crack my skull open!"
"No, no one did that… unfortunatly…" Ash sighed dissapointed… again.
"Where is it?" Both Brock and Tracey exclaimed, not caring about the buzzing sound that echoed through their brains. They were on all fours, searching the landscape. "Where's my precious pan!" They stopped looking. They turned their heads to one another and stared… then glared… then made a resolution! "YOU STOLE MY PAN!"
"All right Tracey, what did you do to my baby?" Brock growled, putting his hands on his hips.
"Me! What did you do with my MOST prized possesion?" Tracey narrowed his eyes mimicking Brock.
"GIVE IT BACK!" The two yelled at each other, catching the entire attention of Domino's citizens.
"You wanna take this outside!" Brock threatened, pulling up his sleeves.
"We are outside! Jack ass!" Tracey retorted, also pulling up his sleeves.
"'GASP!' YOU'RE THE JACK ASS!" Brock replied in a high, squeaky voice.
"I BEG TO DIFFER!"
"WELL AT LEAST I DON'T TRY TO BE BRITISH!"
"'GASP!' That… was going too far!" Tracey growled a cat's low tone, as if he was purring. Brock and Tracey bent their knees, sharpened their 'claws' and clenched their teeth. Staring each other out and thinking of snide and rude comments to make.
"Is what I think is going to happen?" Misty asked.
"I hope so!" Ash Squeaked in excitement.
"What's going on? Why are Brock and Ash fighting?" Ella asked. She was still a little deaf from earlier, the only parts of Brock's and Tracey's word slinging match was the text printed in capitals. Again no one answered Ella's question. In a few seconds it began…
Tracey was the first to strike! With a slap on Brock's cheek! He returned the same action by slapping Tracey hard on the face! And soon these actions became more and more frequent, untik it became a bitch slapping fight! People all over cat called and started clapping, urging the two to keep up with the fight!
"OK! That is enough!" Misty shouted, separating the two with the help of Ella and May. Ash, Pikachu, Sedmet and Gary groaned, dissapointed that they were not going to see a fight today.
"Oh come on! It's not like they're a couple of sluts having a cat fight!" May said. Then all the guys went into deep thought, well except for Ash. He did have a girlfriend you know. "Hey! Stop that!"
"Why should we?" Gary smirked.
"Hmmm!" May growled in the Marge Simpson way, (A/N: Don't own her) narrowing her eyes.
"Ok, ok! No need to go Marge Simpson on me!" Gary smiled, winking. But he just made the girl even madder! Too bad the guys were too in the heat of argueing to notice the little monsters in the corner.
"Takumi, I'm confused." Yukiko said out of the blue.
"You're always confused Yukiko." Takumi said rolling his eyes.
"No I'm not! I'm talking about the behaviour of the humans! One minute they act like they're friends the next they're fighting over stupid stuff!" Yukiko said.
"Well, that's what humans do! Even if they're friends! They're a complex species Yukiko! That's why we thank the heavens that we aren't them! Hahahaha!" Takumi cackled along with his brother.
"Now who'd like a cookie!" Yukiko smiled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Takumi said, raising an eyebrow. Yukiko blinked twice, thinking of his answer, and that was, "Uh… I don't know… Maybe I'm having an outer movie experience?"
"What? I don't even know what that is!" Takumi exclaimed.
"… Really… HAHAHA! I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW! FINALLY!" Yukiko said dancing around in his spot. Takumi rolled his eyes and went back to watching the teens.
"OK! TO THE LIBRARY AND BEYOND!" Ash screamed making a ludicrous pose.
"Ash, we're already at the library!" Misty said.
"WHAT!"
"We've been walking for the last five minutes! Haven't you noticed?" Gary smirked, letting out a snide laugh. Ash narrowed his eyes, but he had a plan! He turned to the miserable Brock and Tracey, who had been mourning their precious pan. They wore black in honour of it's memory.
"Oooohhhh Brock! Tracey! Gary said he's glad you're pan is gone! And that it was the UGLIEST pan in the universe!" Ash yelled, a huge smile on his face. Brock and Tracey narrowed their eyes and glared them at Gary.
You better run…" They both growled and the hunt began again!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Hehe, so. Who would like to do some research?" Ash giggled.
