Hey guys, sorry for not updating for a while. I've lost my inspiration to write. I just don't feel inspired anymore. I'll still update, I promised myself to not give up on this story. But as long as I'm lacking inspiration updates will be longer, and the chapters won't be very good. It also hurt me a lot, because my last chapter only got 3 reviews. So if you're still reading, just please let me know. It means so much to get a review from you guys. I hope you enjoy this chapter; it's the start of something bad.

Let's do this ~

"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Gary screamed, getting up off the ground and trying to run. But he was unable to see since they had no source of light. He tripped over something hard and fell to the ground with a hard smack. "Ouch." He mumbled.

"Gary stop being an idiot. Okay guys, everyone okay?" Dawn said, trying to keep calm.

"May and I are fine."

"I'm good." Misty and Leaf replied.

"I guess I'll be okay." Muttered Gary, still upset from his previous fall.

"Tracey, Ash are you okay?" Dawn asked. Silence. "Guys, don't freak us out, answer." Still no answer. Dawn immediately started to worry. A bunch of questions were raging in her head. Where was Ash? Was he in trouble? Did he fall asleep, or did something bad happen? Was she over thinking this? Did the 'ghost' take Ash? Is Ash with Tracey?

"Tracey this is not funny. Where are you? Please answer me." Misty's voice was shaky, obviously feeling the way Dawn was.

They heard a noise coming from downstairs; it was the sound of glass breaking. It was followed by a loud scream. "That was Ash!" Gary shouted, shooting up from his position on the ground. "We got to get down there!" At this point everybody was up on their feet.

"Are you forgetting Gary? We're trapped! The only way to get down is the ladder, which is gone!"May reminded everyone.

"So what? We got legs, we can jump." Drew replied.

"We're too high, we'll hurt ourselves." Gary said.

Although no one could see, Drew's eyes narrowed. "You're kidding right? Our best friend is in danger and you want to stand up here because we may get a little injured? That's just wrong man. Fuck it. I'm jumping. You can stay here if you want. I'm not willing to."

With that, Drew jumped through the floor. A loud cry escaped his lips, but he continued to carefully walk around, looking for his friend.

"I'm going too." Dawn announced. Before anyone could protest to stop her, she leaped down, following where Drew had gone only a few seconds ago.

"Tracey is down there too." Misty jumped too, following Dawn.

Gary, May and Leaf all decided it was there turn to go too. One after the other, they all made their way downstairs. The jump wasn't as bad as they anticipated. It was kind of fun. May thought.

The stormed continued to rage, still as strong as before. Luckily this floor of the house had lights, so they could finally see where they were going. The gang all met up in the kitchen, trying to decide what to do next.

"Let's all separate, we'll cover more space, and find Ash and Tracey sooner." Misty suggested.

"No." Everyone's attention was now on Drew. "There's something dangerous in this house. I'm not letting May go by herself. Whatever it is has got both Tracey and Ash. No way any of us are going alone. Pair up and go searching. Let's go May." Drew grabbed May's hand, and both of them exited the kitchen, and headed for Misty's room.

"Leaf let's go." Gary said, wrapping his arm around her waist and directing her to the living room.

"That leaves me and you." Misty said to Dawn, "Let's check out the basement, okay?" Dawn nodded in response.

*.*

"Stay behind me May." Drew ordered. He kept an arm out, making sure she was protected. They both remained silent as they tiptoed around the house.

"I'm scared Drew." May admitted. Drew stopped walking, and turned around so he could look at May directly in the eyes. He placed his hand on her cheek, smoothly running his thumb over her soft skin.

"Don't be. When I'm with you, don't ever be afraid. Nothing and I mean nothing will ever hurt you when I'm around. You're my world May, and no one will ever hurt you. I love you."

"I love you too." They shared a short sweet kiss, which helped May relax a bit. Drew would protect her.

Drew was about to say something when he was interrupted by an ear-piercing scream coming from downstairs. Drew grabbed May's hand again, and they both sprinted to where the noise came from. On the way there they met up with Gary and Leaf who were going in the same direction as Drew and May.

"Dawn and Misty headed that way before, come on we have to hurry!" Gary shouted, looking over his shoulder at Drew and May.

All four of them ran down the stairs leading to the basement, taking two steps at a time. They stared at the sight in front of them, no one believing their eyes. It was too crazy to actually be true. Right before their eyes was the legendary Pokémon, Zapdos. Ash and Tracey were in the corner huddled together, with their eyes closed, wishing it was just a dream. The majestic Pokémon was flying above them.

"This legendary bird Pokémon causes savage thunderstorms by flapping its glittering wings." Drew thought aloud.

"That's what caused the thunderstorms." May stated.

"And the glass breaking was from when Zapdos crashed through the window." Misty added.

"HELP!"

The sound of Tracey's and Ash's scream made them remember what was happening. But what exactly were they to do?

Zapdos looked at the gang, before it flew off and disappeared into the stormy night. Everyone stared after it, completely amazed by the appearance of a legendary Pokémon.

Gary had learned from his grandfather that it was a one in a million chance of seeing a legendary. They only appear when it was absolutely necessary. So what was the reason for Zapdos appearance? Gary asked himself.

Dawn rushed over too Ash and pulled him into a tight bear hug. "Are you okay Ashy? Are you hurt?"

Ash chuckled, "I'm fine Dawn, really." She nodded, and leaned in for a kiss. Their lips meant, and automatically sparks started to fly.

Next to them were Misty and Tracey, kissing as well. They pulled away, and started into each other's eyes, smiles planted to their face.

"Hey guys look outside!" May yelled catching everyone's attention. The storm finally subsided, making the sky clear except for the bright stars that were shining brightly above them.

"So the storm really was made by Zapdos." Drew murmured to himself. "Let's go back upstairs, this place gives me the creeps. " He shuddered.

"Okay, let me cover the window with a blanket though, so no Pokémon get it, especially bug type Pokémon!" Misty said.

"You guys can go up, Ashy boy and I will put it up." Gary volunteered. Everyone nodded, and began up the stairs arguing over bug type Pokémon. Ash grabbed the nearest blanket and gave one side to Gary to hold. They easily covered the window with it. "Okay what's the deal man?" Gary blurted out. In response he got a confused look from Ash so he continued, "No legendary Pokémon just comes in and attacks. So tell me, what's the reason?"

"I have no idea dude." Ash said, walking towards the stairs but was blocked by Gary who got their faster.

"Now for some reason I don't believe that. My grandfather is Professor Oak. He taught me about Pokémon, especially legendary Pokémon. I know this isn't Tracey's fault; there was always something different about you. You're a good guy Ash, I like you. But something doesn't add up, and I will figure it out. You can count on that."

Ash scratched the back of his head, "Whatever you say Gary." The two boys made their way upstairs and into the living room where everyone else was.

"What took you guys so long?" Leaf asked, noticing the tension between the two friends. Gary gave her a quick kiss, and mumbled nothing. She gave him a questioning look, but left it alone; for now.

"So what happened?" May asked, saying what they all were thinking.

"Ash and I got hungry so we went downstairs to grab some food. But Ash accidently knocked down the ladder on our way down. We saw that there was no food, which was why Ash screamed. I told him to be quiet because we didn't want you to know we were trying to sneak some food. So we looked everywhere in the kitchen for anything to eat. Then I remembered Misty kept snacks in her basement, so we went downstairs. That's when Zapdos came." Tracey explained.

"But why did Zapdos attack you guys?" Dawn asked.

Tracey shrugged, "I don't know. Complete mistake I guess." Gary snorted, which made all eyes turn to him. "What is it Gary?"

"Nothing; I was just thinking of something." He said smoothly.

Drew broke the silence that had formed, "Let's go back up in the attic." Everyone nodded in agreement.

They all sat around in the attic, talking and laughing like they were an hour ago. Everything appeared to be normal. That was until a small bang came from the back left corner of the attic.

"It's the ghost from the movie!" May shrieked as she jumped into Drew's arms. Drew was making circles on May's back, an attempt to calm her down.

Gary's laughing made everyone stare at him, confused. "Guys, it's only a Shedinja."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Misty. "THAT'S BUG TYPE. GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. Everyone was now laughing at Misty, who was even more freaked out than before. Tracey scooped up the Pokémon in his arms, and opened the window to let it free. Tracey went back to Misty and wrapped his arms around her to soothe her.

"I guess that was the ghost that was living in your attic." May said.

Misty shuddered, "I rather a ghost than a bug Pokémon!"

"Technically it is a ghost. It's a ghost and bug type." Gary corrected.

Misty narrowed her eyes. "Same thing." Gary was about to reply when Misty put her hand out to stop him. "Just shut up brain boy."

Gary chuckled to himself. He wanted to become a Professor like his grandfather, so the name brain boy made him super happy.

"What a day." Dawn commented, rubbing her head. Everyone nodded in agreement. They looked at one another, and burst out laughing. The day they had today would be one they wouldn't forget. "I'm glad I got to share this experience with all of my friends. It's nice to get my mind off of things, you know?"

"Yeah, after everything that's been going on lately it's nice to enjoy a night with my friends. Plus it was totally amazing seeing a legendary Pokémon!" May said.

Drew nodded, "Zapdos is one of my favourite legendaries; it was a dream come true for me."

"I'm surprised that Zapdos didn't hurt any of us. Moltres didn't have any problem hurting people." Leaf said without really thinking. Dawn flinched at the mention of Moltres, the memories slowly creeping back into her mind. Leaf slapped her hand over her mouth. "Arceus Dawn! I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking!"

"Don't worry about it, it was an honest mistake." Dawn reassured her.

The room was silent.

"I'm still hungry." Tracey said. Everyone looked at him, and began to laugh again. Everyone except Dawn, who was still thinking about what Leaf said.

May put her hand on Dawn's, "Everything is okay now Dawn." Dawn gave her a sincere smile, and mouthed a "thank you." The brunette winked at her.

"Guys we should go to bed, it's already 3." Gary said, pointing to the clock.

"We should pull an all nighter! It's 3, there's no point in going to bed now." Dawn suggested.

"Sounds like a good idea to me." Drew said. Everyone nodded to show that they were in also. "I say we play truth or dare again."

"Okay! But I'm the dare champion, so this time try to challenge me a bit." Gary joked.

"Don't worry Gary, we'll definitely get you." Drew assured him.

"My turn first!" May shouted. "I pick Ketchum."

While May gave Ash a dare, Gary realized something. The first day when I heard his name I remember thinking that I knew him. But as time went on I forgot about that, and let it go. But tonight when Zapdos appeared something inside of me told me Ash was behind it. And I was right. I finally realized who you are, Ash Ketchum. Gary thought.

Then Gary looked at Dawn who was smiling at Ash.

If only she knew.

So how'd you like it? I hope you really enjoyed it because I put a lot of effort into it!
