Here is chapter 11. Enjoy!!

Mall Disaster

"MY EYES!!" misty exclaimed as Brock removed his shirt and made a posing on top of the table while she covered her eyes. Brock isn't exactly someone you'd call 'sexy. He may have the chest and biceps but the big bell could be a minus and when compared to ash's, she'll have to say Brock looks like a warthog.

"Come on misty, it can't be that bad" Brock said, making several provocative poses.

"Ugh, never mind that, I'm going to the mall, come on ash. Togepi, Pikachu,watch over Brock for us okay?" with that, the girl left dragging ash along the streets.

"Hmph, we'll just see about that!" Brock said as he continued making some poses.

"Hmm, ash, what's better, the pink one or the blue one?" Misty asked her partner, still half naked, as she went out of the dressing room holding a pink shirt and a blue blouse.

"The blue one" ash immediately pointed the blue blouse without a second thought. Personally, he doesn't really care about what misty is wearing. She looks good in almost anything. What he does care about is finding a black shirt. The air-conditioning unit of the mall is freezing him.

"Okay, then I'll take the pink shirt" misty said, returning the blue blouse.

"Why do you ask my opinion if your not gonna take it" ash whined, standing up from the chair. Misty grabbed the ropes that bound his limbs together and dragged him to the cashier. Needless to say, they earned weird stares from other people.

"Because, I know you don't have any taste at all, ash ketchum. If you liked the blue blouse, then it's ugly" misty explained paying for the shirt.

"Say what? Now listen—" but before he could continue, a huge bang echoed through the mall. All inhabitants of the structure was visibly shaken. Then suddenly, the building collapsed.

"MISTY LOOK OUT!!" Ash jumped to cover for misty.

"Preee?" togepi looked at the disintegrating building some distance away.

"Pika?" Pikachu looked at where togepi was looking too.

"What's up you two?" Brock inquired, looking at the location the two pokemon are staring at. Then, his mouth dropped as he saw the mall Misty and ash entered slowly disappear on the horizon.

'I'm dead, oh my god I'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdeadI'mdead" the phrase echoed over and over again in misty's mind.

"Misty? Are you alright?" a voice called her. She opened her eyes only to meet with ash's worried ones. She looked around her only to see the debris of the building. It was then that she realized their position.

She was crouched on a pocket of air. Ash is on top of her, standing on all fours, a huge slab of concrete that would've crushed her on top of his back. He's grunting every now and then, obviously having trouble keeping the huge slab from crushing them both. There is also the fact that he's sweating like crazy to support this.

"Ash are you alright?" she asked, worry evident in her voice.

"Don't worry mist, I'm fine" he gave her a shaky smile. He tried to use his pokemon to get them out a few minutes earlier bu he found that he can't reach his pokeballs. If he tried, one arm would be left to support him and the concrete. It would be too much and it would surely collapse. Misty is not on the best position to get his pokeballs either so their stuck.

Misty felt something wet touch her ear. The looked to her side and to her horror, she saw that it was blood, flowing down ash's arm. She trailed its path and found the source: A metal pipe pierced through ash's shoulder releasing an insanely huge amount of blood. "Oh my god ash, your shoulder"

"Don't worry about it mist, its nothing, really"

"Officer!" Brock ran towards Officer Jenny who is now at the disaster site.

"Huh?" the blue haired police looked behind her only to see a half naked man with atogepi and a pikachu running towards her.

"Officer Jenny, my friends are in there, are they safe?" normally, he'd flirt with the beauty but this is a more serious matter.

"We're not sure son, why don't you and your pokemon go to that tent and wait. We're still looking for survivors" the woman pointed at a tent some distance away. Brock nodded and headed there, hoping that his friends are inside.

She couldn't hear anything but ash's constant grunts and groans of distress. She could feel nothing but his blood on her ear and his sweat trickling down on her. She couldn't see anything but his tired, trembling muscles begging for relief.

"Ash?" it was the only thing she could say. It was the only thing she could do. She felt so useless at this hour! Damn, if she had known that ash would be suffering this much because of her, she would've just let herself die than seeing him in so much pain.

"I'm fine, Misty, I'm fine" like misty, his dictionary is very limited at this hour. His breathing has become shallow and he could feel his arms going numb.

Just hen, they heard someone yell. They strained their ears to hear clearer.

"Is anyone there?" the volume was weak but they heard it—a rescuer.

"HELP!!! WE'RE DOWN HERE!!! HELP!!!" Misty was the one who yelled. Ash is too tired to yell or even speak in a normal volume.

"Over here" they heard the rescuer yell to his comrades and to their relief, a stream of sunlight entered their makeshift 'tomb'.

"Help" Misty said again as soon as she saw the face of the rescuer "me and my friend got stuck here"

"Friend?" at first, the rescuer looked confused but he soon found the answer when he saw an arm, too muscular to be a female's, supporting the slab of concrete. "Don't worry miss, we'll get you and your friend outta there" with that, the rescuer took misty's hand and glided her up, covering her eyes so as not to blind her from the sudden sunlight.

Ash smiled as he saw misty leave the danger zone. "You'll be alright misty, take care" he gave her a smile.

It was like a slow motion to misty as she witnessed ash's arms giving in. it was like a slow motion when she saw the slab of concrete crush her beloved below its mass weight.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!!"

To be continued

By the way, I found on the internet a character named May (I didn't really finish the story of pokemon) and it seems like she's a major character. I would like top ask you guys if you want her in this fic?

Okay, as you can see, this chapter is a serious one compared to the other chapters. This is because, when I looked at my fanfic, I realized that there isn't much romance as it should be. So, I used this chapter to add some fluff. Hope you guys are not too disappointed.

Sorry for the long update. Please review
