Hey it's Terradoll. This is part 4 of the Lovely Bones and Pokemon crossover! YAY! Sorry I haven't been updating much, but recently when I would've written alot I was stuck up in the no-Internet and no-cell service mountains for my own uncle Stanley's funeral so... Now today I have lots of homework and guitar and hopefully I can get half of this done!
P.S. For all you crazies who went back into the Lovely Bones movie to see when there was a midnight dance with Susie and Ray, STOP LOOKING! I made it up using the scenery from the Lovely Bones. I'm making up some new scenes and twisting/adding some from the actual movie.
Oh well, I do not own Pokemon, or the Lovely Bones
Misty POV
After I left Terra's hotel room, I headed home. It was getting late, and I was tired.
Once I got home and finally fell asleep in bed, I had the strangest dream.
I was at a lake. There was a full moon that had a clock on it for some odd reason. There was a gazebo in the middle of the lake with an Indian boy and a golden-haired girl in it. The boy wore black pants and white tee with a black jacket. The girl wore a golden strapless dress and had golden gloves and a golden flower in her hair.
He led her out onto the lake and suprisingly, they could walk. Then they began to dance. I looked down at myself and gasped. I was wearing a white dress and white gloves. My orange hair was down and I could feel something in my hair... a flower maybe?
A boy stood in front of me in black pants and a white tee. I could only see the back of his head, but I knew who it was. His unruly black hair could only belong to one person.
"Ash" I said his name with a soft confidence. He turned. A smile spread across my face. It was him! I held out my gloved hand to him and he took it, leading me out to the water to dance. As we stepped onto the water, a soft music started playing.
Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings, I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done?
You seem to move uneasy
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness cause you pain
And this song's my story
At night I pray
That soon your face will fade away
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby
We easily danced on the water, staring lovingly into each others eyes. He led me for hours, twirling me and then becoming entwined again. I looked at the moon and saw that the hands were at midnight.
There was a feeling a couldn't control, but for some reason I led Ash back to the shore. He looked at me sadly, like I was leaving. There was a tingling feeling in me.
We both leaned forward and our lips met for a second. Sparkles covered my vision and the last thing I heard was Ash's soft voice calling my name.
I awoke in my bed, Pikachu cuddled up near my shoulder, sound asleep. It was just a dream, but it had been so real. I grasped a pillow tightly to myself. If only he were still here, then maybe that could've been true. We could've danced, we could've kissed.
But Ash was dead. Somebody had killed him, and gotten away.
I would find them, and make them pay
Terra POV
"You have no idea how scared I am, do you?" asked Sylvia, pulling her black hood over her head.
"Relax, I'm not even sure if it will work," I said, pulling out a pair of brown color contacts.
"You'd still manage to creep me out somehow through, wouldn't you?"
"Yep"
"Hey, why are you putting color contacts in?"
"Uh, my mask showed my eyes. If my eyes are naturally blue, then we want him to see a girl with brown eyes," I explained before grabbing my makeup kit. That and my blonde hair were the only factors that had shown.
"Do I have to put contacts in too?"
"Yup, here" I said handing her a green set. I was finishing up my makeup and pulling my hair back inside my black hood just like I had on the boardwalk with Sylvia. Eating water ice in 50 degree weather while its raining and a cold wind is blowing hair in your face was not one of my smartest moves, but it was fun.
I handed Sylvia the makeup kit. My eyes now looked deeper and darker, not to mention brown. I had put on a pale white makeup to hide some of my tan. Sylvia needed to do the opposite.
"I'm ready" she said, turning to face me.
"Really?" I asked, sarcastically.
"No"
I laughed and grabbed the bag near to door, "C'mon. Let's go"
"Can't we go like, another day or later or something?"
"No! And besides, Jake's closes at midnight and you wanted water ice and I want my soft serve, so get a move on it"
"Fine" whimpered Sylvia before following me out the door.
Normal POV
The night was cold as Terra and Sylvia walked from the cheery lights of their hotel to Pallet Town graveyard. Terra walked carrying a black bag, curiously looking at the several gravestones. Sylvia on the other hand held the glowing lantern in one hand and clung to Terra's arm with the other.
She would swing the lantern around to a gravestone and pull herself closer to Terra in fright. Terra on the other hand, would peer, interested and say, "Look! These are twins who died at birth!"
"That's so sad"
"Yhea it is but let's keep going"
"Cold hearted" mumbled Sylvia under her breath as she passed the angel gravestone of the twin babies.
"Here we are!" said Terra, dropping her bag near a grave. A large tree shaded it and a few to the side and behind. Sylvia bent down towards the grave, holding the lantern in her hand. She pushed away several bouquets of roses and lilies to examine the engraved name.
"Ashton Satoshi Ketchum, 1997-2010, May he be a Master in Heaven" said Sylvia, reading the gravestone aloud.
"Told you we got the right one"
"Hey, why do we have a lantern when we live in a world with flashlights?" asked Sylvia, placing the bouquets near the grave again.
Terra shrugged. "I don't know. Cause lanterns are more, y'know, have that otherworldly feel to it"
"You are losing your mind" stated Sylvia
"Already lost it. And besides, I went on a ghost tour in Princeton and they used lanterns and they had flashlights too."
"Can you lose your mind twice?"
Terra rolled her eyes and knelt on the ground. She opened the black bag and Sylvia held the lantern over for light. "What the heck is in there?" asked Sylvia.
"Stuff" said Terra as she rummaged through and found a small incense burner.
"And lots of it" commented Sylvia. Terra started to place several herbs and ingredients in the burner. She sprinkled something on them and then draped them in different liquids.
"What is that?" asked Sylvia, watching closely but not knowing any of the ingredients.
"Stuff" replied Terra, giving the same answer.
"Of course" said Sylvia, commenting on Terra's answer.
"Did you expect me to give like, a full answer?" asked Terra, once more rummaging through the bag.
"Kind of hoping"
"Then you're the one losing your mind"
"Hey, isn't that bag you backpack?"
"I'm putting stuff in a burner! What do you do with a burner? You BURN it! If anything is to catch on fire, I'd rather have it be my math textbook than a nice bag" said Terra.
"I'm not sure if that's what you do with a burner..." Terra turned and glared at Sylvia with cold eyes. Even though the blue of her eyes was covered you could still tell that there was a cold, blue ice underneath.
"And I'm going to shut up now"
"Good idea!"
Sylvia sighed and waited for Terra to finish. She would wander not to far away from Ash's grave and look at several others. Occasionally she would shiver in the cold late August wind.
"Done" said Terra, backing away from the burner. Sylvia headed back over towards her friend, "So now what do we do?"
"Back up"
Sylvia listened and stood a few feet behind the blonde. Terra took the bouquets and moved them so she could see everything engraved clearly. She knelt in front of the burner and held her fingers in a three finger gun position. Her eyes were shut and her mouth moved slightly. Sylvia couldn't understand what she was saying, it seemed to be an ancient language.
Sylvia did catch a few fragments of the chant
"Chaos one has brought..."
"I offer thee..."
Terra sat up taller and Sylvia stepped closer.
"Azrael let him come, bring him forth to me"
"Azrael? Uh-oh" mumbled Sylvia under her breath, recognizing the name as the Angel of Death.
Terra quickly stood and bent near the fire. There was a flick of movement and fire shot out of a silver lighter in Terra's hands. The herbs in the burner quickly caught on fire and glowed in an orange flame. Sylvia drew back at the sight of the fire. "Who gave Terra a lighter?" she quietly asked herself.
"Azrael, I call thee,"
She tossed one last shining ingredient into the mix
"Bring him to me!"
The flame erupted in purple. Sylvia drew back farther and the light of the lantern was blown out by a sudden wind. Terra stood in front of the grave, arms wide as the purple fire glowed in front of her. A strong wind blew from the grave and blew off both their hoods and blowing back Terra's now exposed blonde hair. Her unzipped hoodie fluttered out behind her as well as Sylvia's.
Yet, the fire did not blow.
Sylvia shielded herself from the wind, the lantern tossing in her grip. Suddenly, a blue-white light burst from the grave and Sylvia screamed in horror. The light soon subsided along with the wind. Terra put her arms down, but the purple fire did not die out.
"Don't EVER do that AGAIN!" shouted Sylvia at Terra, who was trying, and failing, to stifle a laugh.
Another blue glow came from the grave again. Only now it was fainter and barely there. Sylvia crept forward a little, praying nothing like that happened again.
Suddenly, sparkles gathered around the front of the grave where there had been a clearing so Terra could see the engravement. The sparkles started to take a shape. They gathered in a shilloette of a boy. The sparkles the died out and started to define the lines and details of a young boy wearing a blue jacket, jeans, a black tee and a red-and-white Pokemon Leauge cap. His eyes were tightly shut, like he was in pain.
"Oh, my, God..." said Sylvia, drawing nearer to the ghost of none other than Ash Ketchum.
Continued Normal POV
Ash lay on his bed in his room in the in-between. You could create anything there if you desired it enough, so Ash had made a replica of his room. He lay there, staring at the ceiling. Time alone like this gave him time to think about Misty and what he had left behind. Sometimes, a tear would trickle down his face, but he could never get his old world off his mind.
Why was he alone? Didn't he have Susie? Sometimes, Susie would go off into another part of heaven. Not everybody wanted everybody in their heaven. If it was like that, it would be like Earth again. Earth wasn't perfect, heaven was. Or, at least it was supposed to be.
Heaven was being trapped in a perfect world, like a snowglobe.
Susie was with him most of the time, but sometimes she would dissapear and go off to some other part of heaven.
'Nothing like this must've ever happened to her' Ash would think, 'She's an angel sent to guide me to the real heaven'
Suddenly, sparkles covered his body and he began to disappear. "What's going on!" Ash shouted. Was he going to finally and truly die now?
Ash closed his eyes, expecting pain. His world was silent and black until he heard a soft female voice.
"Oh, my, God..."
Ash opened his eyes to see himself back in the real world in front of two girls. One he didn't recognize. She had dark hair and green eyes and somewhat tan skin. The other was blonde with brown eyes and unnaturally pale skin.
"Hi, Ash," said the blonde girl.
"Where am I...what...how am I... am I-?" Ash started to ask but was cutoff by the blonde.
"We're in Pallet Town Graveyard."
"So I'm still..."
"Yes Ash, you're dead"
Ash recoiled at the statement. A heartless missile fired into his heart. Declaring the truth about what had happened.
"Then how am I..."
"You don't remember me, do you?" asked the blonde.
"Um.." said Ash, racking his brain for a blonde girl. The only one really close was Susie, but Susie wasn't from his Earth.
"I'm Terra. I traveled with you, Brock and Misty before. This is my friend Sylvia," said the blonde. Ash gasped. He remembered her. She had traveled with them. Terra was a tough tomboy who had an obsession over her iPod and forcing them to listen to it. She also had taken karate and had a suddle connection with the dead. 'She must have increased her connection' thought Ash as she smiled.
"Terra called you here to see what you remembered about..." Sylvia choked on her words and looked away, unable to say it.
"About..." asked Ash, wondering.
"About the night of your murder" stated Terra coldly.
Ash recoiled again to Terra's cold statement about him. "I...don't really remember anything. She was masked and had blue eyes, gold hair and a high pitched voice. Other than that it was a blur. She was really violent to me. I don't like to remember it," Ash said, cringing.
Sylvia raised an eyebrow. Terra? High-pitched? Sure, her voice was soft but definitely not girly or high pitched. The only thing to define her voice was that it was full of attitude.
Terra never flinched. She kept a cool, practiced face from several games of Poker. "Anything else? Anything...unique?"
Ash closed his eyes and thought back. She had thrown him against the wall and on the ground. Then came the knife. He saw her gloved hand flash the blade and then raise it high. Ash closed his eyes but instead remember what little he saw. Yes, she wore long sleeves and gloves, but in the small tan part between the end of the sleeve and glove, Ash saw something. A black peace sign drawn onto the girl's left wrist.
"Yhea. She had a peace sign, on her left wrist."
Terra went and pretended she was looking through her bag. She rummaged through her backpack and pulled up her jacket sleeve. It was dying out, but still there. Her hand-drawn copy of Lady Gaga's peace sign tattoo on her left wrist. Terra cringed. This would be able to define her. Oh well, maybe make this whole thing a little interesting.
Sylvia attempted a poker face because she understood just like Terra. Her obsession over Gaga had driven her far enough to constantly redraw a black peace sign on her wrist. She knew that Terra hadn't had it at the time she traveled with Ash, but she had it at the time of the murder.
Terra chanted a small incantation under her breath and Ash's ghost wavered. Time for those acting lessons to come in.
"What's...happening?" asked Ash, panicking. He didn't know what was going on, and those past few weeks had been scary to say the least.
Terra made her expression a nervous calm, "I think you're leaving, Ash. The spell can't last forever and well, you're truthfully not supposed to be here."
"If I saw you, then maybe I can see-"
"Ash? Where'd he go!" shouted Terra, though Ash's form was still in front of them. It bought her some time and secretly, she ended the spell. Ash disspeared leaving behind only a small rain of blue sparkles.
Terra breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God he's gone, he could've figured it out"
"Ok, so now that scariest and most scarring moment of my life is over, are we going back to the room for you to wash off the faded marker tattoo or are you still hung up on getting ice cream," asked Sylvia.
"You bet I am! Let's go I'm hungry! And besides, that wasn't very scarring. Health class is scarring," teased Terra, packing everything up walking back towards the faint lights of Pallet Town.
"Don't even go there," sighed Sylvia, catching up to her blonde friend as they made their way from the graveyard, knowing what they needed to stay hidden.
Continued Normal POV
It was long after midnight and Terra quietly snuck out of the hotel and made her way over to the cove where she had killed Ash.
The cave was dark and damp, the smell of saltwater in the air. A few Pokemon lingered in the dark cave, but not many. Terra walked around cautiously, a dark chill seeping through her black coat and into her skin. She headed towards the back of the cave and turned on her small flashlight.
The back of the cave was darkest and harbored a small alcove. The same walled alcove where Ash had been found. She found a small covered hole in the cave wall and moved away the rock. The small hole was the perfect size for the notebook in her hand. She slid it in, and covered the hold again with a rock. She then backed out of the alcove and sprinted out of the cave and back to Pallet Town.
She sprinted because it was the same feeling she got when her basement was dark. Something evil was coming for her. But this case was different. Plain.
Someone was coming for her
