Ch 3 Rescue
As the terrified teens looked at the evil face of the ghost, they felt like all hope was lost. It was impossible to escape his grip. May noticed that it looked familiar somehow. She remembered something her mother told her. She said that her mother, Sapphire, knew a girl name Leaf. Leaf told her about a ghost that looked exactly like this one. It lived in Lavender Tower in Kanto. But how could it be here?
"Five little teenagers in my grasp. How convinient," he said menacingly."Master will be pleased."
"What do you want with us?" Ash asked the ghost. It chuckled a little before closing off the exits and setting them down.
"Master Nightmare has a problem," he explained."You see, he thinks you will be a problem in the future. I intend to fix it. Permanently."
Before they could respond, he flew backwards into the wall. He grimaced and looked to the doorway. There, a boy about their age stood, smirking. He had brown, spiky hair and had a pokeball belt around his waist."I don't think so, Ghost," he said.
"YOU!" Ghost said painfully. He got up, hand on his side."RECOVER!" The ghost healed his wounds with recover. Before he could do anything else, the boy's eyes flickered and started glowing. Ghost got a bright outline and started flying high. The boy slammed him into the wall twice, and finally into the ground.
"Ready...to give up," the ghost panted. The boy chuckled slightly and walked to the ghost and grabbed him by the neck. He threw him into the air with great force. He crouched down, and to everyone's surprise, sprang up. His fist hit the ghost right in the face. He grabbed the ghost and brought him down to the ground with the speed of a missile and the force of a nuke. The ghost panted and wheezed, coughing up blood occasionally.
"You...*cough*...win," he managed.
The boy smirked."Good. Leave us. Tell Nightmare that his plans won't be safe around me," the boy said. The ghost managed to limp up into the air and use teleport, leaving the teens with the strange boy. He watched where he teleported for a while, and then looked to the teens. he shook his head, and motioned for them to follow. They did, and he led them outside. he took a pokeball off of his belt, and threw it. out came a large blue dragon with red wings and sharp teeth.
"Salaaaaa!" the salamence cried.
"Hey Jet. Could you help me?" he told the Salamence. The dragon nodded and spread its wings."Any of you got flying pokemon?"
"I have Fearow," Gary said. He released the bird from its ball.
"I have Staraptor," Ash said. He threw the ball and out came the Staraptor.
"I have to get back to the Pewter gym, so I better go," Brock said.
"If you don't have a flying pokemon, choose someone to ride with," The boy said."Oh, by the way, my name's Harry."
Misty climbed onto Staraptor with Ash, Gary flew by himself, leaving May with Harry. He held out a hand for her."Come on," he said. She grabbed his hand and was pulled in front of him. She felt a little heat in her cheeks when he put one arm around her.
"Let's go, Jet," he told the dragon. The dragon nodded in response, and flew into the sky with incredible speed. May couldn't help laying back since it went kind of fast. Apparently Harry knew it was too fast, because he slowed it down.
"Sorry, she likes to go really fast," he said.
"Wait, she?" May asked. Harry chuckled."Yeah. Surprised, aren't you?" he said.
May eventually started feeling sleepy, so she laid back into Harry's arms and fell asleep
Ghost limped into the office where Nightmare was. He knew he wouldn't feel any sympathy since he was hurt. Nightmare was heartless. Once he entered, he saw the figure looking over the project."Nightmare, sir," he asked.
"What is it, Ghost?" he replied.
"I*Cough*got beaten," he said painfully. At this, Nightmare turned to face him. He walked over and inspected his wounds."Harry did this," he finally said.
He turned and faced the window."This is not good," he said."If Harry is this powerful, who knows what he could do to my machine?" He started pacing the floor."We need to take something from him that he cares about," he said."Something like...him," he said pointing to the picture of a horse-like white pokemon.
"You mean...the god?" Ghost asked. Nightmare nodded."Exactly. Leave me," he said. Ghost left the room where his friend Missingno was standing."What happened in there?" he asked. Ghost just shook his head and walked to the infirmary.
The lobby of the building was larger than May expected. Harry walked up to the counter to a woman probably in her mid-twenties."Hello Harry. Here to see markus again?" she asked.
"Yeah, and I've got a couple of friends," he said. She nodded."By the way, you have someone in the infirmary that wants to see you," she told him. He nodded and walked towards a door that read,"Infirmary." The inside was filled with pokemon in bad shape. But Harry only walked towards the back where there was a door. Inside was a hallway with many doors. He walked inside one and saw a girl about his age. She looked terribly injured, and harry looked devastated. He grabbed the girl's hand and she woke up."H...Harry?" she asked.
Harry smiled."Yes it's me," he said."What happened to you?"
"I was climbing Mount Silver when this figure came and slashed at me. It missed, but I fell into a ravine. An Ursaring saved me and carried me to the Pokemon Center where Nurse Joy called here," Harry shook his head."What did the figure look like?" he asked. She couldn't finish. She closed her eyes and fell back. Hr grip loosened on Harry's hand. The nurses rushed in to help her. May saw that a single tear escaped his eye.
