"Volta! Volta! Where are you? Volta! Amy? Amy! Mom!" Ray shouted and heard his own voice echo in the trees. He had to stop to catch his breath. He only walked but he's already exhausted. Then he noticed the bushes move,
"Ow…that was the worst ride ever! Never again will I time travel!"
"I agree, Bro…"
"Hey, where's the Boss?"
"Don't know…"
"…Those two…" Ray growled and his tiredness was forgotten.
"Pika!" Volta and Pikachu ran towards Reena,
"Ugh…I'm okay," she said and slowly sat up,
"What a fall. How did I live? Huh? Oh…"
"Thanks Raikou," said Reena and smiled at the thunder Pokemon next to here.
Reena looked around, the skied were clearing up, slowly but it looked a bit lighter than before.
"There, there now. It's okay Celebi, it's alright, everything will be alright," Amy whispered.
"Bi?" Celebi looked at Amy's face, and then saw young Sammy and Ash Ketchum when they were playing together long ago.
"Bi? Bi!" Celebi opened its eyes a bit wider, she looked just like him…
"Calm down now…and let me down so I can clam down too," Amy added the last part since they were still in the air.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WHERE IS SHE?" Ray demanded with anger, of course it was more threatening with all his Pokemon out.
"W-We don't know! We just woke up! We don't even know where our own Boss is! How are we supposed to know where Reena or Celebi is?" Trent defended as Ray's Pokemon threatened to make things ugly.
"But if you want my advice I suggest you find Celebi before something happens," Kiara added.
"Yeah, then after I'm done I'll make sure Officer Jenny knows where to find you! Bell use Sleep Powder! Shadow! Try and sniff out Volta!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"See Celebi? You're going to be okay!" said Amy, happy that her feet touches the ground, and smiles at Celebi in her arms who was still confused but was trusting Amy.
"You! Hand over Celebi!"
Amy turned her body around to see a familiar face.
"You…"
"Hand over that Celebi, Girl!"
"…No! Not after what you did at New Island! Especially what you did to Ray!" Amy shouted holding Celebi closer. Without a doubt, this was the same woman she saw at New Island. That long curly Blonde hair gave it away and that very memory of Team Rocket members obeying her every command.
"…Oh yeah, I remember you now. Your friends with Ray…Now be good and hand over-"
"Make me!" Amy then took off with Celebi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I thought Amy and Celebi were supposed to be here" said Reena standing at the exact spot where Celebi was supposed to be and where Amy was standing before.
"Something must've happened," said Volta and continues stiffing,
"I wish Raikou could help us too," said Pikachu, worried about his trainer,
"Raikou said something about meeting up with other Pokemon. Something about my Charizard too…" said Reena and looked up at the sky, it was lighting up a bit more.
"Hey, there's another scent here!" Volta exclaimed,
"And Amy took off that way!" Pikachu pointed,
"So is the other scent," Volta added.
"Come on; let's help Amy before something happens to her or future Ash will kill me…scratch that, future Misty will!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Where are they Shadow? Huh? There they are! Volta!" Ray cried and Volta's ears perked up and ran into the bushes without a word.
"Ray!"
"Volta! You're okay, I'm so relieved…"
Ray held Volta close once she leapt into Ray's arms. Then once they had their moment, Volta slapped Ray, luckily she had small paws.
"What was that for?" Ray asked feeling his cheek,
"You shouldn't be out here, FOOL!" Volta scolded,
"Volta's right…I'm not with Richie so who knows what could happen…" Reena added with sadness in her voice.
"…If I do disappear, it won't be your fault. Neither yours nor Father's. And Volta, if I do disappear, watch our other friends and that includes the humans. Take care of everyone and look after Amy for me," said Ray and Volta gave him an angry look,
"Don't talk like that! The past will be fixed. As soon as you return to the past that is!"
"I know…but without Celebi-Oh no! We have to find Amy!" Reena suddenly remembered but then noticed Amy's Pikachu wasn't here.
---------------------------------------------------------
"Gotta keep running! Gotta keep running! Gotta keep running! I'm surprised that I still have the energy to continue running! But If I don't protect Celebi…Ray and Ivan might disappear forever! I can't let that happen!" Amy continues running blindly through the forest, not daring to look back.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Ray, go back to the lab," said Reena,
"No!"
"Ray!"
"No! Either way, I'm either going to die or live!"
"…Good point. Fine, let's split up," said Reena and walked off to let Ray choose his own way. She didn't think things could get worse. Reena knew that scent alone couldn't guide them through the trees where a lot of different smells exist. Reena continued to walk with pain aching in her heart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amy finally stopped for a rest as she fell backwards against the tree and slid down to sit,
"I'll protect you Celebi! Don't you worry!"
"Bi?"
"Hey…was that Ray's voice?" Amy stood up and began walking towards that voice calling her name. Then suddenly her Pikachu jumped out at her.
"Pikachu!" Amy cried happily as she uses one arm to catch him and Pikachu was just as happy. Celebi looked at the two: smiling, laughing, happy just to be together again.
"Amy!"
"Oh Ray! You're okay!" Amy would've jumped on him but she was holding two Pokemon in her arms and one was beyond too important to risk losing.
"Amy! Are you okay? You're not hurt right?" Ray asked worriedly and Amy shook her head,
"No, I'm okay. But we have to do something about Celebi…" said Amy showing Ray Celebi which has a dark shade of green instead of the bright lively green Celebi is supposed to have.
"…I have an idea!"
"You're out of your mind RAY HIROSHI YAMOUCHI!" Lu shouted over the phone.
"Please Lu! It's the only thing I can think of! Do this for my mom! Please! If you don't help, time will be messed up for good and I could disappear forever! If you won't do it for my mom then do it for your favorite trainer in Emerald Village please?" Ray begged and gave a bit of puppy dog eyes.
"Fine! I'll be over at Pallet Town with the private Jet soon…" Lu mumbled and hung up. After that, Ray peeked into the room where Ivan was and was happy that he was still asleep. He was even more happy when both of them are more solid than before. Ray went into the living room where everyone waits now. Even Misty, Delia, and Mimie joined them.
"Ray, are you okay?" Misty asked feeling Ray's forehead,
"Yes, I'm feeling better now…where's my, uh, future mother?" Ray asked when he didn't see Reena,
"I guess we have to go back out there to look. The skies are beginning to clear and most people have stopped panicking," Isaac reported,
"Well that's good to know…" said Delia,
"Mime! Mr. Mime!" Mimie agreed.
"But lets go back and look for Reena," Isaac added,
"Okay," said Rose and stood up, followed by Terri and Amy.
"You're staying," said Ray holding Amy's shoulder,
"Why?" Amy asked,
"We have to wait for Lu and since Celebi seems to trust you only, you have to come with me," Ray explained.
"…Okay, I will," Amy agreed and sat back down.
"Then we'll go look for her," said Terri and the three headed back towards the forest again.
"I feel like everybody just disappeared," said Reena to herself as she wanders around and getting no where.
"Ray must've found Amy…"
Reena continued to try and find her way around but she never has actually been to Pallet Town before and that's already a problem.
Reena stepped into a more open area with a bit less trees.
"I've been here already!" Reena cried and just wanted to pull her hair out.
"You…you gave birth to that troublesome boy that keeps interfering with our Team Rocket schemes of controlling legendary Pokemon!"
Reena slowly turned around and gasped a bit,
"I remember you now! I remember who are in the past…you, you're Dom-"
Pidgey and Spearow scattered from the area. Rattata and Sandshrew fled the scene.
Isaac, Rose, and Terri turned towards the direction of the sound.
"What was that?" Rose asked with fear,
"…That was a gunshot!" Isaac and Terri exclaimed in unison.
----------------------------------------------------------
"Ray!"
Ray screamed in pain that heard throughout all of Pallet Town.
---------------------------------------------------------
A heartbeat just made the biggest beat it had ever made. Richie clutched his chest,
"What's wrong, Richie?" Ash asked,
"I…don't know. But…something happened!"
"Like what?" Gary asked,
"Like…like……like Reena has been blown off the planet…"
"Ray…It won't end like this, I won't allow it! Yet…I feel like I'm losing myself, I'm sorry, Ray. Richie……I love you…"
I have to say sorry for ending it like that but…can't do anything about it. Heh…
I know this is shorter than previous chapters but give me a break please?
