Chapter Eight
Okay guys! First of all allow me to apologise for not updating for like.. Hmm 2 months? I don't know, anyway: I'm Sorry. Forgive me? Great! Well here tis the magnificent Chapter 8! But I just want to say that I have absolutely no idea where this story is going... I'm just making stuff up as I go. :]
xx
"I guess we better go and find Brock, Ash," said Misty, still shocked about what just happened.
"Y-Yeah," said Ash, looking down at the bell in his hand.
"Where do you think they would be?" asked Misty.
Ash said nothing and still stared at the bell.
"Ash! We have to find Brock to tell him what just happened!" said Misty impatiently.
"I suppose anywhere where there is food, there's Team Rocket, and since Brocks with them-"
"C'mon then!" said Misty grabbing his hand and running into the town.
***
"Hmmm, mph phmmp phh?"
"Brock, we can't understand you when your mouth is full of food!" said Misty.
Ash and Misty ran into the first restaurant they saw when they entered Euchatek City. And surprise, surprise, they found Team Rocket stuffing their faces, along with Brock. The three of them were sitting across the other side of the room away from Team Rocket.
Brock swallowed his food.
"I said, so does that mean you control Suicune?"
"What? No, not control exactly just-"
"You're his trainer?" said Brock raising an eyebrow.
Ash looked down," Really?"
"Looks like it Ash." said Misty.
"But I don't have a pokeball or anything I-"
"Ash look at Pikachu, Pikachu doesn't have a pokeball, and you're its trainer." Interrupted Misty.
Pikachu nodded happily in agreement, and was nibbling on a drumstick.
"But I don't get it, what's meant to happen next?" asked Ash, he looked up.
Brock and Misty looked at each other.
"Neither do we," said Misty.
"The first thing we need to do is to find Eusine, hopefully we'll get some answers of him," said Brock.
"Well, where would he be? Professor Oak never told us," said Ash.
"Excuse me,' said Misty to a waitress passing their table," Do you happen to know someone around here with the name Eusine?"
The waitress stopped walking and scrunched up her face," Sure do honey, he's the village lunatic.. Has all these crazy theories that the world is gong to end soon, and is on a chase looking for this legendary pokemon.. What's it called again? Socine?-"
"Suicune." interrupted Ash.
"Yah, that's the one," nodded the waitress," You'll find him-"
"Has anyone ever told you how your apron contrasts perfectly with your deep, ocean blue eyes?" interrupted Brock.
But before the waitress could answer Misty was dragging Brock back to his seat.
The waitress shook her head, "Err, anyway as I was saying, you can find him in the Burnt Tower. It's the other end of town, when you walk out of here, just take a left and you'll eventually see it."
She smiled.
"Thanks! We really appreciate it!" said Ash getting up and sprinting out the door, Pikachu following closely behind.
"Your welcome, I would have showed you, cept my boss has been in a cranky mood all day."
"Bye," said Misty, sprinting after Ash, dragging Brock behind her as he tried to make another attempt to pick up the waitress.
"Hey wait a minute!" said Meowth," Guys stop eating! The twerps just left in a real hurry."
"What?" said Jesse," Twerps? The other two are back?"
"I didn't even realise they were even gone," laughed James.
"C'mon, we better go and see what they're up to!" said Meowth.

Ash ran the whole way to Burnt Tower, and stopped outside panting.
"Well, I can see where they got the name from," said Misty.
Ash looked up and saw that it was a burned building with part of the roof missing- probably the remains of a tower.
"Let's go inside." said Ash.
Inside was completely in ruins. It was as if they had just stepped into a cave of some sort. There was no floor- Just dirt and solid ground. There were large boulders scattered everywhere, and Zubat were hanging from what remained of the ceiling beams.
"This place is a complete mess!" said Misty," Why do you suppose Eusine would be in a place like this?"
"I have no idea, do you think we should split up?" asked Ash.
"No way! This is already really scary for me!" said Misty.
Suddenly a flashlight shone on their faces. They held up there hands to shield out the bright light.
"What are you three doing in here? This is strictly off limits!"
Ash managed to make out an outline of a person wearing black clothes.. With a print on the T-Shirt.. And, a black hat.. And some sort of eye mask.
"It's Team Rocket!" said Ash.
He grabbed a pokeball from his belt," Go Totadile!"
The small, blue crocodile emerged from the ball in a great flash.
"Watergun!"
Totadile shot a quick stream of water at the Rocket, forcing him into a wall, and being knocked out.
"That was close," said Misty.
"Quick, turns out his flashlight so if there are anymore, they won't be able to see us!" ordered Brock.
Misty obediently ran up to the rocket and turned off the flashlight.
"Now what?" asked Ash.
"Why are Team Rocket here?" asked Brock to himself.
"Well wherever there's Team Rocket, there's trouble," said Ash.
Their thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a shout.
'I already told you! I don't know anyone called Ash, or how he could possibly be connected with Suicune."
The trio looked at each other, and Ash held up a finger to his lips. The others nodded.
"Stop lying Eusine, if you don't tell us-"
"No! Don't touch my pokemon!"
"Right, that's it, where are they?" asked Ash.
"They sound like.. They are.. underneath us?" said Misty.
"I have an idea," said Brock, he threw a pokeball into the air and Onix appeared before them. His head was barely touching the roof.
"Onix, we need you to break this floor! But be careful, there are humans below us somewhere!"
Onix looked puzzled at his master, as did Misty and Ash.
"What? Brock are you crazy? We'll fall!" said Misty.
"And there isn't another floor underneath us!" said Ash.
"You guys have got to trust me.. Do you?" said Brock," We haven't got much time!"
Ash and Misty looked at each other then Brock.
'We trust you," said Ash.
And at that, Onix slammed its tail on the ground one-two-three times until the ground below them broke, and they all fell into darkness.
!! Omg! Noo, a massive cliff hanger! .. Well it's not really that much of a cliff hanger, but enough for you to hate me! But no sweat tomorrow is Sunday! So I'll start writing the other chapter... Not sure when it'll be done though. xx
Once again review! ^_^
