Chapter #7- The Fall

"What's taking so long!?" Ash whispered harshly while stomping his foot impatiently, "We've been standing here for hours!!"

"Well, actually Ash," Brock smirked, "It's only been three minutes…"

"WHAT!!"

"Ssshhhh!!" Misty clasped her hand over Ash's mouth, "Do you want Team Rocket to catch us!?"

"Buu de not ebe…" Ash began his voice muffled by Misty's hand that was still over his mouth, before Misty interrupted him.

"What!?" Ash pulled her hand down to where he could be clearly understood.

"I said: 'but they're not even here yet'" Ash said, pouting slightly. He looked at Misty and Brock questioningly, "So what's the point of being quiet?"

Brock looked at Ash and raised his eyebrows, "Um, if they show up, we don't want them to hear us, do we?"

"No," Ash shook his head, "Guess not."

"Exactly," Brock finished, turning back to Kenny, leaving Ash to stand there feeling like an idiot.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Kenny stood in place trying as hard as he possibly could to stay still, though he wasn't doing a very good job at keeping his hands from trembling, and his palms from getting sweaty.

Truth be told, he was nervous, deadly nervous, but not about what you might think…He was nervous about what would come up after they faced Team Rocket, his feelings for Dawn…

How do they expect a twelve year old kid to do this!? We're barely preteens! How am I supposed to handle a teen situation!?

Kenny shook his head. He couldn't think of a time when he was in a more stressful situation, and it was driving him insane, but he remained calm on the outside. He did not want Team Rocket to show up with Dawn and her see him having a nervous breakdown.

No, on the outside he was just a young chestnut-haired kid standing on the bank of a lake holding an abnormally large backpack…

As he continued to stand there, his thoughts began to wander again, but this time they were focused on a certain blue-haired coordinator. Was she okay? Was Team Rocket taking care of her? Was she hurt, scared, or even worse…? Kenny shuddered. No, no she was just fine, just fine, he told himself. Or he at least hoped…

Just like the night before, Kenny was too deep in his thoughts and worries to notice the Meowth-shaped balloon approaching up ahead. Nor did he notice when it landed and a Meowth and three people got out; a young man with lavender hair, a lady with long red-violet hair, and a young girl around eleven with bright blue hair and eyes, her hands tied up and a rag in her mouth.

After a few moments, though, he became aware of their presence, and once he saw her, he bolted straight for the girl.

"DAWN!!!" He cried but stopped suddenly when Meowth pulled out his claws.

"Not so fast, Romeo," Meowth laughed, seeing Kenny flinch, "Remember our deal?"

Kenny stood up straight and nodded. Slowly, all the time keeping a close eye on Meowth, he took the bag off his back and opened it. He then reached into it and pulled out a pokeball, showing it to Team Rocket then tilting the bag to show them the rest of its contents.

They stared at all the glistening pokeballs greedily, eyes flashing, waiting for an opportunity to seize the bag and make their escape.

Kenny zipped the bag closed again, looked at them, closely, "Kay, we kept our part of the deal now you keep yours by letting Dawn go." He placed the bag on the ground and kicked it toward them.

"Well," Jessie started.

"We would," James continued.

"But we gotta go!" Meowth finished, grabbing the bag, while Jessie and James grabbed Dawn, pulling her back into the balloon once more as it took off again.

"See ya, twerps!" Jessie waved as the balloon began to lift off the ground.

"NO!!!" Kenny screamed dashing toward the balloon, and grabbing hold just as it completely lifted off the ground.

"KENNY!! WAIT!!" Ash and the others cried running from the cover of the trees, but the balloon was already well over the trees by now, Kenny dangling on the rim of the basket for life.

"Misty we gotta do something!!" Ash yelled looking at his girlfriend for help. Misty rolled her eyes at him in response.

"Well Ash, you can try using your Pokemon," She stated gestering to the pokeballs on his belt.

"Oh, yeah!" Ash exclaimed, smacking himself on the forehead. He grabbed a pokeball and threw it into the air, "Butterfree, I choose you!"

"Free-free," Butterfree 'sang', flying gracefully in circles around Ash's head.

"Butterfree, use whirlwind on Team Rockets' balloon! Quick!" Ash commanded pointing at the balloon barely visible over the treetops now.

"Free." The butterfly Pokemon nodded, casting a powerful whirlwind in the direction Ash was pointing, perhaps a little too strong…

The whirlwind shook the entire balloon hard, causing Dawn to go falling over the edge and Kenny to lose his grip and the balloon go zooming into the horizon.

"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again!!!..."

"AAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Dawn screamed as the wind whipped at her clothes as she continued to fall.

"Dawn!" Dawn jerked her head in midair to see Kenny falling beside her, his hand outstretched, "Take my hand! We'll fall together!"

"Ok, Kenny!" She said grabbing his hand and holding it tight, "Don't let go!"

"I wont ever Dawn, I promise."

Well how was that? I'm not entirely sure so plz let me kno XD.
