Chapter Five
Sorry I took so long on putting the last chapter up, I actually had it written ages ago, but it wouldn't let me upload it for some reason, and I only recently tried again.. Anyway, yes, please note we're half way through the year, and I also was busy studying for my half-yearly exams.. I completely aced the Science one! But haven't got the others back, so that's another reason I took so long.. I will in the future try and post a chapter once a week.. That's a really big commitment for me, its equivalent to me ripping of a page everyday for my hanging wall calendar, you know, the ones where there's like a page for a each day... Yeah, enough of that, whatever that was, enjoy this chappie!
"Playing with fire,"
"Hmm what?" asked Ash, he was dozing off next to Pikachu who sleeping next to him. It was dark. The light that shone from the moon bounced of the nearby treetops. It and the campfire were the only signs of light. They were just outside the Ilex Forest! Not far to go until they reached Eucrutak City!
"You're playing with fire; we're playing with fire with this whole big lets-trust-team-Rocket thing!" snapped Brock, he was stirring pot filled with his famous vegetable soup over the fire.
Ash stood up angrily, "Hey! You were the one suggesting that we will help them to catch a decent pokemon if they helped us!"
"Quiet down Ash!" said Misty, she was lying in her sleeping bag. She gestured over to the trees behind him, there team Rocket were laughing and talking.
Ash sat back down again defeated, "Like I said,' he lowered his voice," You were the one who-"
'Guys, just drop it!" said Misty," We all got ourselves into this mess, and we'll all get ourselves out of it." She dropped her head in an attempt to get back to sleep.
Ash dropped his gaze from Misty to Brock, "How do you think we are going to do that?"
"Well, first we have to make sure we don't do anything stupid, one false move and Team Rocket has us right where they want us," said Brock, continuing to stir the soup.
"What do you mean?" asked Ash scratching his head.
"Ash, don't tell me that you actually trusted Team Rocket with that deal!" said Brock," I mean, its Team Rocket we're talking about."
Ash looked down at the ground to hide his embarrassment. True, he did trust Team Rocket with the deal, he guessed it was because he thought that they saw this as a chance to make up for all the stuff they've done.
"Look, the point is Ash,' said Brock, he took a sip of the soup he was stirring," Be on your guard... The soup is nearly ready."
"Nearly!" moaned Ash,' I'm starving!"
Brock shrugged his shoulders still looking at the soup," Hey, you can't rush perfection!"
Ash rolled his eyes,' I'm going for a walk!"
"Don't go too far!" He heard Brock yell from behind him.
"Yeah, yeah," mumbled Ash.
They decided to stop for the night near a river bank, and at the bottom of a large cliff. Because Ash was bored out of his mind, he decided to climb the cliff. (God, that was like the most mind-numbing thing I've written so far -_-) he walked around until he found an easy climbing path.
"Be on the lookout for traps!" He thought.
So far, so good.. No traps. When he reached the top he closed his eyes. He took a deep breath in. He could smell the fresh air, along with the faint smell of Brock's cooking.
"Ash, dinners ready!" He heard Brock shout real faintly.
'Score!" said Ash opening his eyes, he jumped up excitedly and went to turn around but tripped over a rock, he went tumbling down the slope. Before he could even scream he felt a force grab the back of his jacket and with that came to a sudden stop.
When he turned around he saw that holding the back of his jacket in it's mouth was a large blue dog-like pokemon.
"Suicune.." Ash whispered.
He stared into its eyes for a while then Ash blinked and it was gone. Ash stood up and brushed all the dirt of him. It was then he felt something was in his hand. He opened it and observed a small, clear-blue bell.
And that's it! I know, you's are all probably angry at me for making it REALLY short.. But for some reason, it felt right to end the chapter there. I feel like an author! I should embrace it while I can :D Once again, rate and message!*
