Chapter 5: The Trap

"C'mon James! Wish harder!" Jessie screamed.

"I know! I know!" James groaned.

This was so unfair! Why did he always have to be the bad guy? He really wanted to be a good guy and live a good life and everything! But sometimes… he wondered, maybe he had all of that before? After all, he had been rich and happy before but then he had been betrothed to that damned chick Jezebel.

I really wanna be a good guy! He wished so hard there were tears streaming from his eyes!

"Hey, what's happening?" wondered Meowth.

There was a huge blast of light and the Wizard emerged. He looked at James with his mysterious dark eyes.

"You were the guy who made the wish, right?"

Ash blinked open his eyes. He caught Misty looking at him and blushed. Misty turned red and turned away as well.

Sora looked first at Misty, then at Ash. It was an awkward moment.

Ash shrugged, "I don't think this is working."

Tai scuffed the top of his sneaker along the ground. "…yeah."

Yolie said, "So how are we meant to find him now?"

"I don't know!" Davis whined.

He paused. "Hey, where's Kari?" he looked around, and then smoke started coming out of his ears. "Wh-where's T.K? How come he's not here either…?"

"Uh…" Davis looked a bit blank for a while as realization hit him. "So if Kari's not here… and T.K's not here either… then you put them together and-"

"Hey, look there they are!" Sora cried. "They're over at that ice-cream place across the road!"

Tai watched everyone else run across the road to get ice cream. He frowned.

But who was the person who got their wish granted?

"Sucked in! You fell straight into a trap!" A high-pitched evil-sounding voice came from somewhere from the ceiling.

Then a huge cage thing that looked like a bird cage without the bottom came falling from the ceiling, trapping Satoshi inside. The bars were electric shocking things that would electrocute you if you tried to walk through.

"WAAHH! I'm sorry, Mr Wizard!!!" James sobbed.

Meowth: "Get over it, James!"

A look of pure surprise and fear crept onto Satoshi's face.

Though he tried all his teleporting spells he knew and all his assistance spells, he wasn't able to get out of the cage.

"Heh heh heh…" Jessie laughed as she sat cross-legged on top of the cage. "Do you like our full magic-proof cage? I got it on Ebay! You can buy everything on there these days! Including portable holes… aren't they awesome?" she trailed off.

"Why would you do something like this?" he sputtered.

Jessie smiled crookedly, "Well, I'm not sure but a wish-granting wizard would be very handy… and not only that- I know it will sell for a very high price on Ebay!"

Drew sat by himself, a loner as everyone else around him chatted and talked. He wasn't even sure what he should be doing. Last time he checked, he was in a totally different world- A part of the Digital World- an alternate universe of the Digital World- in a place called Odaiba, Japan.

He sighed and looked over at the others.

Everyone else looked pretty calm. There was Izzy, who spent hour after hour tapping away on his laptop.

And Joe, who spent all his free time studying. (Studying? Who would do that?)

And Matt, who was trying to compose at least a few bars of music with his guitar but couldn't because May just wouldn't leave him alone.

Yeah… there was May.

He had pondered his feelings for her before. I mean… she'd always seemed a bit flirtatious, whether it was with Ash, or with that guy who cooked the noodles, or that guy called Tyson- from the Hoenn League- she really seemed to have a crush on that guy…

And Drew himself, maybe just another reject.

Huh, kinda dumb. Drew grunted in spite of himself. He laughed lightly. What a dumb, stupid situation to be caught in. And right now, at a time like this. Boy, was he an idiot or what?

Matt looked extremely annoyed as he tried to tell May to piss off without hurting her feelings. So obviously, he didn't feel the same way.

Drew watched everything through half-closed eyes, giving an impression that he was bored. But he was in fact watching everything carefully, trying to find a way…

"Hey Drew? Are you bored?"

"Aiee!" He jerked up.

May smiled cutely at him. She had given up on Matt for the timebeing and was sitting next to him, poking his face so close to his, wondering why he was looking so confused.

"Wha? No, I'm fine!" Drew took a big breath to relieve himself, and he blushed as he sat up straighter. "But, Geez, May, don't do that again!"

May tilted her head to one side. "Huh? What-"

Okay, so maybe she still didn't know what his feelings for her were but he made a silent vow to himself.

Okay, May, before we go back to the Pokemon World, I'll confess my feelings to you!

"I'm so sorry, sir!" James said so sincerely. He had apologized over and over again.

The wizard watched him from inside his cage. He was sitting quietly on a chair, with a cup of coffee in his hands. The coffee and the chair were things James had snuck in for him, therefore resulting in severe electrocution burns on his hands.

The Wizard's outward appearance looked extremely calm but inside he was going mad. What was he meant to do now? He knew from experience and from the Magician, who had been his sempai- the guy a bit more skilled in spells and the person with whom he had utmost respect, that he had got himself into this mess.

"So I assume what you wished for was from the heart?" he asked slowly.

James looked at his feet. He was sitting cross-legged just outside the cage, like an innocent little kindergarten, nursing his sore hands.

"Well… I really did want to be a good guy!" he cried. "I wanted to go and open my own little restaurant, and I could serve people their coffee and their food and wear a little red bowtie and…" James drifted off, lost in his own world.

The Wizard watched him with one eyebrow raised and a sweat drop running down his face.

Heh. Funny thing to wish for…

"What are you doing, Meowth?" Jessie wondered, looking over Meowth's shoulder as the cat pokemon typed away madly on the computer.

"I have to get the Panic! At the Disco album!" Meowth cried. "Ryan Ross is the best! And I have to get the My Chemical Romance CD as well! And…"

"What are you talking about?" Jessie screamed. "You can't do that! You have to purchase this ray gun! And these atomic bombs! We're baddies!"

Satoshi thought. But the way things are going, I don't think this guy will ever get a chance to have his wish fulfilled.

Well, personally, I don't know why the Wizard thought that it's a funny thing to wish for opening a little restaurant… I mean, he didn't mind when someone wished they were a duck, and when someone wished they were a cow, and when someone wished that the world was upside down…

Uh, tell ya what I'm wishing for right now? I want the Panic at the Disco album! But my dad won't let me get it because he thinks the lyrics are bad!!! Arghhh!!!
