Well thanks for the two reviews.
Yes, Pikachu's Thunderbolt…I doubt that it would have inflicted that much damage if you look at the situation anime-wise. So I went with that…
I hope all of you can read easier now…I tried to split up the paragraphs so let me know if it's okay.
Enjoy
I do not own Pokemon or any characters or events depicted, this is solely fanmade.
Changing Ways: Chapter 8: Sacrifice:
Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy were sitting in the living room area of the Gym having some refreshments. Pikachu and Totodile were playing a game of tag. Misty smiled warmly at the sight. Her thoughts then turned to Gyarados, who was now bound and trapped in a cage on the bottom of the pool.
Ash noticed Misty's expression change to one of sadness. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder which caused her to startle and turn to him. Ash smiled sincerely at her and gave her shoulder a squeeze as if saying that everything will be fine.
Misty smiled and nodded back at him in appreciation. Ash turned his attention to a sandwich however and started devouring it immediately upon picking it up off the plate. Misty sighed while Nurse Joy sweat-dropped. The pokemon continued playing their game of tag.
"So Ash, you've recently participated in The Silver Conference?" Nurse joy was busy making small talk with the two trainers.
"Yeah I managed to get to the Top 8…" Ash nodded and looked over at Misty, who seemed to be deep in thought.
"Misty?" Ash nudged her shoulder, causing her to jerk her head towards him.
"Huh? Oh hey Ash…" Misty smiled half-heartedly at the raven-haired trainer.
"You okay Misty?" Ash looked at her with a sad expression.
Misty slowly nodded. "Yeah…it's just I don't understand it…We never did anything to harm the Magikarp here at the Gym, so I don't get why this Gyarados is in such a bad mood…"
Nurse Joy and Ash listened intently with solemn expressions on their face. Pikachu and Totodile were both exhausted and they were napping peacefully by their master's feet.
Misty stared forlornly at her feet. "My sisters and I always performed shows with all the Magikarp and they were never vicious towards anyone of us or even our pokemon…" Misty's eyes grew wide as an idea struck her.
Misty jumped up from the couch. "I've got it!" she exclaimed as she almost ran Ash over as she darted up to her room.
Ash and Nurse Joy watched as she disappeared and then sweat-dropped. Pikachu and Totodile awoke from the ruckus. Pikachu climbed onto Ash's shoulder while Totodile happily danced on the spot for Nurse Joy, whose attention was now drawn to it.
Ash and Nurse Joy along with Pikachu and Totodile were now in the pool room. Ash was kneeling over the side of the pool and looked down to see Gyarados at the bottom. Pikachu was imitating Ash and also peeked down. Totodile was dancing for Nurse Joy, who in return looked very intrigued and clapped hands for the little pokemon.
"Hmmm, I really feel sorry for Gyarados Pikachu…I wish there was some way that we could help it calm down." Ash stated with sadness evident in his eyes.
"Pikachu…" Pikachu added with a grim expression.
Just then Misty walked into the pool room. Nurse Joy was the first to notice her…and of course her choice of clothing.
"Oh my…Misty…" was all the shocked Nurse Joy could stutter out.
Totodile did not really bother itself about Misty and continued dancing happily.
Ash immediately spun around to confront Misty about her earlier departure. "Hey Misty where'd you run…off…to…" Ash's sentence came out slower and slower near the end as he caught a glimpse of Misty.
In the doorway stood Misty, wearing light blue pants with a star on the side resembling a mermaid's tale. With it she wore a pink bra designed like sea shells and a necklace decorated with pink pearls and similar pearls on the braids in her hair. She also wore extensions that made her hair look longer as it cascaded elegantly down her back. To be honest, in Ash's eyes, she was absolutely gorgeous right now.
Ash's eyes were now fixed on Misty and his cheeks had pinkish stripes over them. "Uhh…I…" was all he could mutter out.
'WOW…' is all that drifted through Ash's mind as he stared at her, his shoulders slumped slightly forward, as if he would collapse any second. To be honest, this was the second time that Ash had seen her wear this outfit, but unlike now, he did not pay this much attention to how she looked in it the last time. But it was really hard to ignore, and since Ash has gotten a bit older, he started noticing things. And right now he noticed that Misty was HOT. He shook his head vigorously a few times to snap out of it, but that only ended up with him staring at her again.
Misty tilted her head at Ash, who was looking pretty ridiculous right now as he gawked at her. "Uhm Ash…you okay? You're kinda freaking me out…"
Ash snapped out of his staring and then realized that he probably looked like a bumbling fool right now. "Uhh…" Ash began, but he soon found himself staring at Misty in awe again. "I uh…what are you doing in that thing anyway!" Ash suddenly recovered, hoping to change the topic to get out of his current predicament.
Misty glared at Ash, making him shrink on the spot. He did not want to argue with her while she was dressed so…wonderful? "For your information, this is part of my plan to get Gyarados to calm down, so there!"
Ash grunted and turned away, crossing his arms and closing his eyes. Actually he did all this to avoid staring at Misty, which causes him to look around quickly with a blush on his cheeks.
Misty shrugged Ash's unusual behavior off as hunger. Nurse Joy stepped up to Misty and examined her with a skeptical eye.
"So Misty, what exactly IS your plan?" Nurse Joy tried to inquire.
"Well we always performed underwater ballets with the Magikarp and all the other pokemon in the Gym. So maybe if we can recreate that special moment and memory, the Gyarados might calm down!" Misty exclaimed excited.
Nurse joy nodded. "Well Misty, let's see if it will work then."
Ash was now facing Misty, but still tried to direct his gaze anywhere else. Pikachu was looking at Ash with a confused look on his face, wondering what is wrong with his master.
Misty gulped and started shaking like a leaf because of nervousness. Ash noticed this and pushing his hormones aside for a moment stepped up.
"What's wrong Misty?" Ash inquired as he looked on at her trembling figure.
Misty looked up at him and smiled nervously. "Well you see…" she started. "When I was just a little baby girl, I once crawled up into a Gyarados' mouth and almost got eaten. I've been scared of them ever since…" Misty trembled at the memory.
Ash looked sympathetically at Misty and gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry Misty…everything will be fine. Besides, I'm here to protect ya." Ash puffed his chest out to emphasize his statement.
Misty sighed at Ash's incompetence. 'Anyway…I've got to get over my fear in order to obtain and fulfill my obligations toward the Gym…So here goes nothing…'
Misty climbed up the ladder and onto the diving board. She walked up to the edge and looked down on the pool. Gulping loudly, Misty gathered her courage and dived gracefully into the pool.
Ash and Nurse Joy stood by the edge of the pool and looked on. Pikachu was still perched on Ash's shoulder while the ever hypergenic Totodile has stuck his head in the water to see what was going on below.
Below the water Misty was swimming down to the cage where Gyarados was kept in. The sight made Misty stare in guilt and sadness at the poor pokemon. A Seaking along with three Goldeen, a Dewgong, Starmie, Shellder and Horsea soon joined Misty in front of Gyarados. She nodded at the pokemon and she began swimming beautifully through the water with the pokemon all swimming around her with Horsea perched on her hand.
Gyarados looked on for a moment, seeming to remember, but it was soon forgotten as it let out a mighty roar of anger. Misty and the gym pokemon all startled at it. They all looked on as Gyarados created a whirlpool. Misty and the pokemon tried to get away, but it was in vain as they got caught in the giant whirlpool.
Ash and Nurse Joy watched in horror as Misty and her pokemon were swirled around in the whirlpool.
Ash clenched his teeth and bawled his fists. 'Misty…no…' Ash ran in the direction of the pool with all intend on diving in and playing hero.
Nurse Joy grabbed Ash by the arm and yanked him back. "Are you insane! You will get injured and most likely killed out there!" Nurse Joy exclaimed forcefully.
"Let me go! I gotta help Misty! Lemme go Nurse Joy!" Ash struggled to break free from Nurse Joy's grip.
Ash finally escaped, but stopped at the edge of the pool, looking to spot Misty in the whirlpool. Sure enough Misty was being ragged around in the current. Most of the Gym's pokemon escaped the current and were looking on in horror as their master was trapped. Ash looked closer and noticed that Horsea was underneath Misty, desperately trying to push her up to the surface.
Ash turned to Totodile, who was also looking on at the sight. "Totodile jump in there and help Horsea out!" Ash cried out.
Totodile nodded, then danced a few times in the air and finally plunged into the water. It swam into the center of the whirlpool to get to Misty and Horsea.
Horsea was struggling to say the least. Misty was at the point of passing out because of the lack of air. "Horseeea" it exclaimed. Horsea wasn't about to let its master drown, but it could really use some help right now because Misty's was at the point of passing out and was beginning to become dead weight.
Totodile swam up next to Horsea and Horsea immediately noticed the increase in speed up to the surface.
Totodile smiled happily at Horsea as they pushed Misty up.
Ash was bent over the edge of the pool waiting for them to resurface. As soon as he saw Misty's silhouette appear; he practically pushed his head and upper torso into the water to try and pull her up.
"Hold on Misty I've got ya!" Ash yelled as he pulled her onto the side of the pool. He let Misty's head rest on his lap.
Misty slowly opened her eyes and looked up into Ash's concerned face. "Wha…Ash?" Misty blinked a couple of times before remembering what was going on.
'Gyarados…water…whirls…!' Misty's eyes shot open and she sat up. "We've gotta stop Gyarados!"
Misty was attempting to get up, but Ash folded his arms around her and held her down. "Misty calm down, you've gotta relax a bit 'kay?"
Misty turned to Ash and then slowly nodded as she breathed in the wonderful air which eluded her lungs down below.
Ash stroked some of Misty's wet hair out of her face, which of course, caused both of them to blush at each other.
Misty smiled nervously at Ash and mumbled thanks under her breath. Ash looked at her and noticed her wet mermaid costume clinging to her fragile body, causing him to look away in embarrassment.
He noticed Nurse Joy returning all the pokemon that were hovering in the pool to their respective pokeballs. He returned his gaze to Misty, who was slowly getting up off him. He followed her and brushed himself off.
Ash turned his gaze to Misty, who much to his horror was busy removing her mermaid tail.
"Misty wait you can't just undress he-"Ash was cut off when he noticed, much to his relief, that Misty wore her bikini bottoms below the mermaid-like costume, but now Misty's slender legs caught his attention.
Misty threw the costume aside and removed the extensions in her hair. She tied her hair in the familiar pony tail on the side of her head. "Ahhh…much better." She exclaimed, now feeling more comfortable and ready for action. "Well that plan completely backfired on us…"
The gang heard some wolf whistles coming from the entrance to the pool room. Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy all turned towards the doors, where they found three boys standing in the doorway.
"At what are you guys whistling at! And what do you want here!" Misty yelled angrily at the trio, suddenly becoming a bit more self-conscious about her attire.
The three boys laughed and looked at Misty, again wolf whistling at her.
Ash growled viciously at them, causing the three boys to smirk at him.
"Now now, no need to be jealous kid." The shortest one of the three said to Ash, still smirking.
Ash growled again and balled his fist and pointed it in the air to the boy. "Who says I'm jealous! And who are you guys!"
The shortest member of the trio once again smirked. All three of them wore male kimonos. "Allow us to introduce ourselves…"
With that said; the shortest member struck a karate pose. "I am Kim!"
The slightly taller but fatter boy then also struck a pose next to Kim. "And I am Kai!"
The third boy, who was taller but skinnier than then Kim then also struck a pose. "I am Kail!"
"And together…we are…The Invincible Pokemon Brothers!" the three of them exclaimed simultaneously.
Ash, Misty, Nurse Joy and Pikachu all sweat-dropped while Totodile danced happily at the commotion.
"Uhhhh right…" Ash began. "Now what do you want!"
"Well…first we were just planning on sabotaging the Gym's PIA test…but now…" Kim began, gesturing towards Misty. "We were thinking of maybe asking this beauty out on a date" The three boys began laughing.
"YOU WERE GOING TO DO WHAT!" Misty and Ash unknowingly exclaimed simultaneously, at the second comment and not the first.
Kim snickered. "Now now kid, like I said before…don't be jealous."
"I am not jealous!" Ash yelled. He then turned to Misty, turned his back on her and then blushed.
Misty watched Ash with her head tilted to the side because of his flamboyant behavior towards this subject. The information of earlier then sprang to mind. Turning to the trio of boys she glared. "You were planning on sabotaging my inspection!" Misty yelled angrily at the boys.
Ash recovered from his embarrassment and also turned his anger to the boys. "What's the big idea! You can't just waltz in here and try to ruin everything for Misty!"
The three boys smirked at the remarks. "Oh no…we're not here to only sabotage the Gym's inspection…we're here to take over the Gym once you're fired!" Kim pronounced.
Nurse Joy, Ash and Misty all gasped at hearing the Brothers' real plot.
"Over my dead body you are!" Misty retorted back viciously.
The boys laughed at Misty's brave show of anger, and then each removed a pokeball from their belts.
There was now a crowd starting to come into the Gym and sitting down on the seats on opposite sides of the pool.
"What's with all the people?" Ash wondered out loud as he glanced around the pool.
This time Kai stood forward. "We told all the people of Cerulean City about your little problem…" he motioned to the pool. "And they all came to watch the dawn of a new era…the dawn of The Invincible Pokemon Brothers as the new gym leaders of the Cerulean Gym!"
"And just how do you think you're going to accomplish that? It's not like you can just disown Misty of the Gym." Ash stepped up and smirked, happy with his argument.
"That is why we challenge Misty, current gym leader of the Cerulean Gym, to a battle for the title of leader of this Gym!" Kim spoke up.
"Unless of course, she is too scared of losing easily in front of all these people…" Kai added.
"Pffff…" Ash snorted at the last remark. "Like Misty would fall for something like-"
"Fine…I accept your challenge." Misty pronounced determinedly.
Ash face faulted, with his legs twitching in the air. He recovered quickly though and was soon standing in front of Misty. "Are you crazy! Do you realize what's at stake here!" Ash exclaimed while swinging his arms wildly.
Misty barely noticed Ash as she was smirking confidently at the trio of boys. "Hush up Ash…I've got this covered no sweat."
Ash stared at her, unbelief evident in his eyes. 'Didn't she hear what I just said?'
Sighing in defeat, Ash walked over to Misty's box from where she would be battling. The four boys from earlier have also returned in the meantime and the boy that was rescued out of the water was now an announcer.
"Alright ladies and gentleman…this battle will determine the new gym leader or gym leaders of this Gym! The match will be between current the gym leader Misty Waterflower! And the challenging team which consists of Kim, Kai and Kail: The Invincible Pokemon Brothers!"
The crowd roared and booed for their respective sides. A few boys in the crowd wolf whistled towards Misty, who was still wearing her bikini pieces while some people screamed in excitement.
"And now…the judge of this battle, please give a warm welcome to our very own…Nurse Joy!" the boy yelled into the microphone.
The crowd erupted into applause as Nurse Joy smiled sheepishly and waved to the crowd.
On Misty's side of the field, Pikachu, Psyduck, Totodile and Ash sat on the bench while Kim, Kai and Kail were all standing in the battle box. The three pokemon all wore red gowns and sported white fans with red P's on them.
"Pikachu, Pikachu, Pika-Pika-Pika Chu!" Pikachu cheered Misty on as he made gestures with the fans in his paws.
Totodile was dancing yet again while Psyduck stared in front of him, no emotion in his eyes with his head tilted to the side.
"The gym leader chooses her pokemon first!" Nurse Joy exclaimed.
"Alright Staryu let's go!" Misty yelled as she threw Staryu's pokeball.
The starfish pokemon erupted from its ball as it landed on one of the platforms on the battlefield. "Hyah" it pronounced with its battle cry.
"I choose Hitmonchan!" Kim yelled as he threw the punchy pokemon's ball in the air.
Hitmonchan appeared out of its pokeball, but sadly there wasn't any solid surface beneath it, and so it fell into the water. "Hitmonchaaaan" Hitmonchan yelled as it thrashed around in the water.
"Oh no folks…it looks like Hitmonchan can't swim!" the commentator boy exclaimed.
The crowd gasped as they looked on. Ash and Misty looked on worriedly while the Pokemon Brothers were just watching on.
"Quick Staryu jump in and save Hitmonchan!" Misty ordered frantically.
"Hyah" Staryu obeyed and dove in after the drowning Hitmonchan.
Staryu came close to Hitmonchan and was about to help it swim out, when…"Now Hitmonchan!" Kim yelled to his pokemon.
Hitmonchan stopped thrashing around and suddenly punched Staryu, a one-hit KO because of the unexpected attack.
The crowd booed, Nurse Joy glared at the Pokemon Brothers, who were now dancing around celebrating.
"Hey that's not fair! You guys faked the drowning to trick us!" Misty yelled. She was now furious because of her pokemon being taken advantage of like that.
"I agree…Faint Attack is illegal in this battle and therefore I declare Misty's Staryu the winner of this round!" Nurse Joy stated, anger seeping from her voice because of the trainer's dirty tactics towards the poor Staryu.
"Return Staryu." Misty returned Staryu to its pokeball. "I'm sorry about this Staryu…" Misty clipped the pokeball back onto her waist and retracted another one. "Okay Corsola…I choose you!" Misty yelled again as she threw the pokeball.
Corsola appeared in the water. "Corsola" it exclaimed happily.
Kim recalled Hitmonchan and then threw another pokeball. "Tentacruel let's go!" he yelled as the pokeball popped open in the air.
"Tentacruel" exclaimed the giant jellyfish pokemon upon its release.
"Let the second round begin!" Nurse Joy yelled, signaling the start if the battle.
"Okay Tentacruel let's start this off with Bubblebeam!" Kim ordered.
Tentacruel obeyed and fired hundreds of little white bubbles at Corsola, which injured the little coral pokemon massively.
"Corsola…are you okay!" Misty yelled worriedly at her pokemon. "Quick Corsola Recover!"
Corsola obeyed and was soon enveloped in a bright white light as Recover's effect took over. The light dissipated and Corsola looked good as new.
"Great job Corsola! Now use Tackle on Tentacruel!" Misty ordered her trusty pokemon.
Corsola nodded and swam towards Tentacruel at full speed.
"Not so fast! Kai, Kail; do it…now!" Kim yelled at his brothers, who both appeared behind him with pokeballs in their hands.
"Right!" both of them said simultaneously as they threw the pokeballs.
Two more Tentacruel appeared out of the pokeballs and were headed straight for Corsola. The one Tentacruel bashed into the unsuspecting Corsola from above and the other then rammed Corsola from the side, slamming it into a rock near the cage in which Gyarados was kept in.
Misty, Ash and Nurse Joy all gasped as they looked on. The Invincible Pokemon Brothers just stood with their arms crossed, smirking.
"You three are violating the rules!" Nurse Joy yelled angrily at the three boys.
"No we are not! The challenge that was issued applied for the Invincible Pokemon Brothers, not just for me." Kim replied, denying the accusation.
"You're just too chicken to fight Misty by yourself!" Ash got his share in the argument. For some reason he was still furious with those three boys because of their remarks towards Misty earlier and he just couldn't get it out of his mind.
"You'll pay that kid! Or should I say your little girlfriend's POKEMON will pay for that! Tentacruel: All of you use Poison Sting on that Corsola!" Kim retaliated with a vicious smirk on his face.
The Tentacruel all directed their attacks at Corsola who was still badly hurt. The needles collided with Corsola, who was now greatly injured.
"No…Corsola!" Misty yelled in shock. "Hang on I'm coming!" Misty ran towards the water and dove in towards her Corsola.
"Misty!" Ash yelled after his best friend. He ran after Misty and was about to jump in until Nurse Joy stepped in his way.
'Whoaaaa…!" Ash yelled as he tried to hit the brakes before slamming into Nurse Joy. Luckily he stopped in time and fell harmlessly in front of her feet.
"Nurse Joy? What's da big idea! I've gotta go help Misty!" Ash yelled as he tried to get by Nurse Joy, but she would have none of it.
"Ash wait…just stay put Misty can take care of herself okay?" Nurse Joy said sternly to Ash.
Ash hesitated for a few moments before he hanging his shoulders in defeat and nodding slowly. He walked over to the side of the pool and watched as Misty made her way over to Corsola.
Nurse Joy turned to the three brothers. "And as for you three…you are disqualified from this battle and banned from all official Pokemon matches!" Nurse Joy was livid. She had never in all her life been so ashamed of pokemon trainers. These three boys gave pokemon trainers everywhere a bad name and she will make sure that they never get the chance to do such a thing ever again.
"Banned! You can't do that!" Kim yelled at Nurse Joy.
"I can and I did…you are dirty pokemon trainers who disobey the rules and I will not allow you to sour future competitions and battles for anyone else!" Nurse Joy spat back.
"So you want to be that way? Tentacruel! All of you attack that Gyarados with your Poison Sting!" Kim ordered the Tentacruel.
"Wait what!" Ash yelled across the pool at the three brothers.
The Tentacruel directed their attacks to Gyarados who was defenseless inside of the cage it was kept in, so it took the attacks head on.
Misty watched on as Gyarados got hit by the attacks and roar in agony. 'No…Gyarados!' Misty checked on Corsola to make sure it was okay and ordered it to use Recover and go back up.
Misty swam over to Gyarados' cage and, without thinking her next move through; she swam right in front of the poison needles that were meant for Gyarados, taking the attacks head on.
Misty let out a scream as the poison started to weaken her and making small cuts on her bare skin. This caused her to lose a lot more air and she soon found herself close to the point of passing out.
Ash witnessed the whole scene from above and when he noticed Misty go limp and stop screaming, he lost it…
'They hurt her…THEY HURT HER!' Ash let out a screamed of rage as he got up to his feet.
Nurse Joy, anticipating what was coming next, quickly got a hold of his shoulder. "No Ash! We can't lose you down there too!"
Ash turned his gaze to Nurse Joy. This caused her to stutter backwards. The look in his eyes, they were filled with rage and anger.
"Let go of me…I'm going and you will not stop me." Ash told Nurse Joy in an uncomfortably calm voice as he shook himself loose out of her grip.
Nurse Joy looked at him with a worried expression.
"Pikapi…" Pikachu walked closer to Ash, uncertainty in his voice.
"You stay here and protect Nurse Joy Pikachu…I'm gonna get Misty." Ash told Pikachu without looking at him.
Ash gave one last look up at the three brothers and then dove in…
Nurse Joy and Pikachu looked on as he disappeared into the water. Totodile also joined them, but his happy-go-lucky way of looking at life was replaced by a look of fear and worry.
Ash swam down to where Misty was floating limply. He saw the Tentacruel unleash another wave of Poison Sting on her. His eyes grew wide and he did the most sensible thing that came to mind…he swam in front of her, folding his arms around her with his back facing the incoming attacks.
Ash screamed out in pain as the needles hit his back. He tried to help Misty up to the surface, but they didn't cover much ground. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed one of the Tentacruel coming closer to them.
His eyes grew wide. 'Oh no…' was the last thing running through his mind as the Tentacruel was on him.
From there everything went slow motion for Ash. He looked at his surroundings. In front of him, in his arms, was Misty who was unconscious. Ash smiled at the sight of her. She looked so beautiful in his eyes right now. He directed his gaze to behind her, where Gyarados' cage was with Gyarados still trapped inside. It had picked up a bit of damage, but not nearly as much as Misty.
His attention then turned to the oncoming Tentacruel again. Doing the only thing he thought he could in that short period of time, he pushed Misty out of the danger of being slammed by the Tentacruel and in return he got rammed into the side of Gyarados' cage, knocking the wind out of him.
Ash gasped for air as he was thrown into the cage, but sadly no air came to him. He winced and looked around only to spot Misty floating limply a few feet to his right.
'Misty…no.' Ash swam over to her. 'She's still breathing!' Ash grabbed hold of her and started swimming towards the surface.
Pikachu, Nurse Joy and Totodile were standing over the edge of the pool, hoping to see the two children. Nurse Joy had already returned all of the Gym's pokemon for safety reasons, save for Gyarados of course.
"Pikapi…" Pikachu's ears were drooped as he searched for any sign of his master.
Ash was really having hard time getting to the surface. He was fatigued and injured and Misty was also dead weight in his arms. But he was making ground and he could see light flickering above them.
As they reached the surface, Ash felt something wrap around his ankle. 'Oh no…'
Ash was pulled down again. He looked down and saw that one of the Tentacruel had grabbed onto his ankle. He looked at Misty in his arms and then back up at the surface.
Ash started swimming up again and got Misty above the water, but before he could get himself out of the water, the Tentacruel yanked on his foot again, pulling him down. He looked up in horror at Misty.
'No! She won't make it if she gets pulled down again!' Ash gave Misty a big push towards the edge of the pool, causing her to lie on top of the edge.
"Pikachupi" Pikachu exclaimed as they saw Misty pop up under the water and get pushed up onto the edge.
Nurse Joy pulled Misty out of the water to safety. "She's still breathing! Thank goodness…but where is Ash!" Nurse scurried over to the edge again. What she saw made her gasp in horror.
Pikachu also peeked over the edge and his eyes stretched wide in fear. In the water they saw Ash being pulled down deeper into the water. "Pikapi" Pikachu attempted to dive in, but Nurse Joy grabbed hold of him.
"No Pikachu it's too dangerous!" Nurse Joy yelled as Pikachu tried to squirm out of her arms.
Pikachu stopped squirming and looked on as his master disappeared into the depths of the water…
I feel like the latter part of this chapter was badly written. It was kind of hard to make all the changes and everything gel. Tell me what you guys think.
Please R&R!
