Chapter Six

Okay, correction.. THIS is the longest chapter I have written so far! Yeah, enjoy it.x

"Where did it go?" mumbled Ash to himself, he scratched his head still staring at the crystal bell in his hand.

***

"So you fell down the slope and Suicune saved you, then before you could do anything else it disappeared, leaving a crystal bell in your hand?" asked Brock, running through the story for the third time, making sure he hadn't skipped any details.

"Yes!" said Ash," Don't you guys believe me?"

"We believe you Ash," said Misty examining the crystal bell," I just don't understand why Suicune would give you this bell.."

She shook it gently, but it made no sound," Must be broken," she said handing it back to Ash who put it in his pocket.

"I think its best if we leave this till the morning, its late and we're all tired,' said Brock, he stood up and extinguished the camp fire.

***

"Did you hear that?" asked Jesse to James and Meowth.

They were standing behind a few trees nearby and had been listening to the conservation Ash had with his friends.

"Yeah, looks like that legendary pokemon the boss is looking for is around here," said James.

"And that means the boss is nearby!" said Meowth jumping up and down excitedly.

The trio looked at each other with evil glints in their eyes.

"Are you guys thinking that we should catch Suicune?" asked Jesse.

"Before the boss does?" asked James.

"And once we have Suicune we can rock up to the boss and demand a promotion!" said Meowth.

"But guys, we have err, a bit of a problem," said James scratching his head.

"And what's that?" asked Jesse.

"..What does Suicune look like?" he asked.

"I guess we're gonna have to wait till the morning and ask the twerps!" growled Jesse angrily.

***

"Sir, we've err, had a bit of a problem."

"What do you mean there has been a problem!" yelled Giovanni, he swung his chair around to face the vulnerable Rocket Grunt.

"We've lost track of Suicune," the Rocket Grunt said, as calmly as he could, trying the hide his shaky voice," D-Don't worry, we have working on the problem so there is only going to be a..umm, short delay and-"

"How much longer is this delay going to be!?" interrupted Giovanni.

"We're not sure at this stage, but possibly-"

"Well hurry up and spit it out!" shouted Giovanni.

"Three days at the latest," managed the Rocket Grunt.

"Three days!" shouted Giovanni, he stood up and threw the wine glass he was holding in his hand at the poor Rocket Grunt. He fell on his knees and ducked just in time and the bottle missed him.

"Now get out of here before I get even more mad!" ordered Giovanni.

The Rocket Grunt staying on his knees quickly crawled out of the room. The automatic door shut behind him, and soon the room was quiet.

Giovanni casually sat back down in his chair and poured himself another glass off wine. Before reaching the glass up to his face to take a sip he looked at a photo frame sitting on a nearby table. Inside was a picture of his son- Ash.

He shook his head before taking a sip," You better stay out of my way Ash, I'm still going to catch Ho-Oh, whether you're my son or not," he thought.

***

"I'm only going to say this one more time," said Ash," I'm tired and hungry! How much longer till we get there?"

Jesse turned her head around.

'In about 10 minutes so stop your whining!" snapped Jesse, she turned her head back around to the path in front of her.

"You said that 10 minutes ago!" said Misty," And how do we know you guys aren't playing a trick on us and leading us around in circles?.. I swear we've seen that tree before."

This time Jesse, James and Meowth all stopped walking and turned around to face the others.

"And I swear girl that you are starting to become a pain in the-" said James.

"Pika!" interrupted Pikachu, it jumped up and down and pointed to some sort of creature that was lying on the path in the distance.

They all ran to see what it was. Pikachu reached there first and as soon as it saw what it was its ears perked up.

There lying on the path was Suicune. But instead of it glowing its healthy blue it was a dull green. It's eyes were closed and the cloud of mist that usually sitting on its back had disappeared.

"What is it?" asked Misty.

"It Suicune!" said Ash, he immediately leaned down next to Suicune," Suicune wake up!"

Team Rocket stood a few metres away listening to the other three panics and tries to revive Suicune.

"That's Suicune!" said James.

"It's so dull and look at the ugly green colour!" said Jesse turning her head away in disgust.

"Meowth aren't you going to say something?" asked James.

Meowth didn't say anything just stared blankly at Suicune.

"Meowth, what's wrong with you?" asked Jesse.

"Yeah, you look like you've seen a ghost!" said James half laughing at his own joke.

Meowth ignored them and walked other to Suicune. Meowth's eyes suddenly started glowing a blue, hazy colour.

"Shake the bell," said Meowth.

"W-What?" asked Ash confused, he looked up to Meowth.

Meowth maintained staring at Suicune," Shake the bell that you received from Suicune."

Ash slowly took the bell from his pocket. He shrugged his shoulders and shook the bell gently. To his surprise it made a gentle ringing sound. It soon started glowing blue and got brighter, and brighter.

The light had gotten to bright for any of them to see anything. Ash closed his eyes and put his arms up to shield himself from the light.

He heard a large howl. And opened his eyes. The light was still intense but he managed to make out Suicune standing on all fours making the howling noise. The light then started to dim down until the bell was only slightly glowing the blue colour. The ringing stopped.

Meowth's eyes also returned to normal," What wh-where am I?" he asked drowsily.

No-one said anything. They all just stared completely shocked at Suicune.

"Err, what just happened, and why was Meowth acting all weird?" asked Jesse, trying to break the silence.

"I have no idea," replied James, he lowered his voice," Hey, this is our chance to snatch Suicune while they're still-"

"We can hear you,' said Brock," Ash, maybe you should try and talk to Suicune."

Suicune seemed to understand perfectly what Brock said and barked a couple of times.

Pikachu nodded its head up and down and started talking back to Suicune in a series of Pika's.

Meowth also started nodding its head," Suicune says that, that bell he gave you Ash has the power to call Suicune whenever and wherever you are, and also has the ability to recover Suicune."

Ash stared at Suicune,' Well why did he give the bell to me?" (I'm just going to assume that Suicune is a boy in this story, to stop me from always having to use 'it' and Suicune's name.. Bear with me here)

Suicune looked at Meowth and barked a few times.

Meowth looked at Ash and answered on behalf of Suicune," He says because you have a pure-heart."

At this point Jesse and James burst into a laughing fit.

"Pure-heart?" laughed Jesse.

"That sounds like something out of a fairytale!" laughed James.

Suicune glared angrily at them and its eyes started to glow a faint blue.

Jesse and James stopped laughing and saw that their bodies were also glowing a faint blue.

"I think you guys have gone a little bit too far this time,' said Misty shaking her head.

Before Jesse could answer back with a snappy comment she and James were lifted into the air.

She tried to scream but couldn't move her mouth, or any other part of her body. She could also tell James was trying to do the same thing. They then found themselves hanging upside down and their heads just touching the ground. Suicune smiled at them and the glowing stopped. Jesse and James went crashing down on the ground head first.

Ash, Brock and Misty laughed.

"I wouldn't be doing that again if I was you," said Ash in between his laughing.

Suicune barking again caught their attention.

"Can't you find someone else to deliver your messages?" asked Meowth tiredly.

Suicune growled.

'Err, I mean I love this job," laughed Meowth," He said that he needs your help to restore peace."

Suicune again barked, but this time for a lot longer.

"Well," started Meowth," Ho-Oh is in danger as you already know, any you also already know that in order for you to catch Ho-Oh you must possess all three the legendary dogs- Entei, Raikou and me- Suicune... The person that controls Ho-Oh, controls well.. Everything and everyone basically. Suicune couldn't let this happen, and this morning he was being chased by Team Rocket, but with his last strength he teleported here.."

Suicune nodded, approving Meowth's translated version of the story.

"That's terrible,' said Misty shaking her head.

"Suicune,' said Ash turning to Suicune," Where were Team Rocket? We need to find them."

Suicune shook his head and barked at Meowth.

"He don't want to tell you,' said Meowth,' Says its to dangerous."

"Listen, Suicune," said Brock," We'll be fine; when we all work together we're un-stoppable!" (Pfft, yeah, pretty lame thing to say lol)

He smiled sweetly at Suicune. But no, it wasn't enough for Suicune and he shook his head. (If Brock smiled at me, I would run away!) Suicune barked a few times at Meowth.

"He said that he doesn't want you near Team Rocket," Meowth said pointing at Ash,' he says.. err, something about, err about, Hey Suicune, what was the reason again?"

Suicune shook his head and barked a few times.

"Said something about, it not being a good idea if you meet the leader of Team Rocket," said Meowth scratching his head.

"What!?" said everyone at the same time.

"Why?" asked Ash.

Suicune just stared blankly at him.

Here's the chapter.. And I'll just remind you to rate and review.. Guys, rate andreview, there we go =D
