Hello everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I'm quite proud of this one. It starts off rather sweet and lighthearted, but by the end of the chapter, you definitely won't be getting that same vibe. We're getting into the climax of the story now, so enjoy!
"Ugh, I can't believe the gym inspection has to be today."
Ash frowned at his wife, who was tiredly leaning against the counter with her head down and eyes shut. She let out a downtrodden sigh before halfway opening her eyes and immersing herself into deep thought.
"I don't know if I want you doing this Mist," Ash warned from his seat at the kitchen table. "You know the inspection involves you walking around the gym along with the inspector, answering questions and all that. I don't want you putting any extra stress on your body."
"Well I go back to battling in two days, so I better start getting used to it," Misty turned around, staring down her concerned husband.
"That's another thing," Ash rubbed the side of his face. He hadn't shaved for a few days because he was too busy taking care of and worrying over Misty. The fact that it took quite awhile for the affects of Ash not shaving to appear anyway was a real testament to the fact that he had been ignoring this small chore. "Is you battling such a good idea?"
"I'll be fine Ash," Misty grunted in annoyance. "Somebody in this family needs to get back to work."
"Damnit Misty," Ash threw his head back. "You make it sound like I enjoy being suspended or something! The past two weeks have killed me; I don't know if I can make it through another two."
"First of all, I thought you frowned upon swearing in front of the baby," Misty smirked as she patted her bump. Ash blushed at the realization, but said nothing in response. "And secondly, I know you don't like it. But you did the deed, and now you have to pay for it."
Ash groaned and folded his arms on the table, resting his head atop them.
"Besides," Misty continued sweetly, "it gives you some extra time with Aiden and Michelle. I'm sure they love being with you, especially with the baby on the way. They're going to have to share you soon enough."
Ash only responded with a muffled noise. Playfully rolling her eyes, Misty approached the disgruntled Pokémon master and sat down on his lap.
"Oof!" Ash huffed, finally lifting his head. He was met with the slightly perturbed face of Misty, which caused him to raise an eyebrow in query.
"What was that noise about?" Misty deadpanned. "Are you trying to tell me something?"
"Hmm…no!" Ash quickly replied, his eyes widening. "Not at all babe. I'm not implying anything."
"You think I'm fat, don't you?" Misty pressed on.
"Oh Misty, always with the "fat" accusation," Ash sighed, resting his cheek against her arm. "I would never, ever think of you as fat. You're pregnant. Its two totally different things. You're still the most beautiful girl in the world."
"Really?" Misty's lips slowly bent into a smile.
"Yes, really," Ash cooed, gently pulling down Misty's head so he could give her a kiss on the lips.
"Mmm," Misty moaned happily before pulling away. "I have to go over to the gym now. The inspector should be here any minute."
"Just be careful, okay honey?" Ash pleaded quietly.
"Of course," Misty ruffled Ash's already messy black mane. "I'm going to try and get this done as quickly as possible."
She stood up, Ash standing along with her. He pulled her into a tight embrace to deliver another sweet kiss to the gym leader's lips. Misty wanted to melt in his strong, secure arms. Ash was being so sweet this morning that it killed her to have to leave.
"Ash, seriously, I have to go," Misty moaned against his mouth. Ash chuckled huskily, obviously knowing that his wife was seriously detesting having to go to her inspection.
"I know you do," Ash pressed one final kiss to her neck, right atop where her pulse was beating wildly. "Go on."
Misty threw Ash one last smile before heading out the door and over to the gym. Just as she was approaching the building's glass doors, Misty caught sight of Mr. Andrews, the league's Kanto region gym inspector.
Pulling her shoulders back, Misty turned around and greeted as brightly as she could manage, "good morning Mr. Andrews. Lovely day isn't it?"
"Yes," Mr. Andrews mumbled mindlessly. His eyes were locked on Misty's rapidly growing belly, causing the gym leader some insecurity. She cleared her throat, which effectively snapped the middle aged man out of his trance.
"Sorry about that," Mr. Andrews smiled sheepishly at the rather un amused red head. "It's just…you've certainly grown since our last encounter."
"Yes, well that tends to happen when you're pregnant," Misty's brow twitched slightly as she rested a protective hand atop her bump. She didn't really have any special dislike for the inspector, but when it came to people discussing her weight; Misty was typically less than thrilled.
"Well, what do you say we start this inspection?" Mr. Andrews smiled gently at her. Misty let out a breath and nodded, leading Mr. Andrews into the Cerulean City gym.

"Higher, Daddy! Higher!"
Ash laughed along with his daughter as he laid on his back, lifting the girl into the air. Her arms were hanging down towards him as she was raised up, although every now and then she would hold them out as if to imitate the act of flying.
"What kind of Pokémon do you think I am, Daddy?" Michelle asked.
"Hmm, let me see…" Ash playfully thought aloud as he lowered Michelle so she was only halfway up. "Well, you're a very pretty thing. And you're also my little girl. I'd like to think of you as a Swablu!"
"They're so fluffy!" Michelle shrieked in excitement.
Chuckling, Ash lowered Michelle all the way down. She was now resting atop him, her head nestled snuggly between his neck and shoulder.
"Put me up again Daddy," Michelle requested after a few moments of rest.
"Only if you give me a kiss first," Ash turned his head to smirk at the little girl.
Michelle inched a little closer to her father so her head was right next to his. Tilting her head, she pressed her little lips against his cheek, giving him as big a kiss as she could manage.
"Mwah!" Michelle finished dramatically as she pulled away from her father's cheek.
"Wow, what a nice kiss!" Ash cooed, lifting the girl back into the air just as he'd promised he would. "That was very sweet of you baby girl."
"Your cheeks are scratchy," Michelle complained. She raised one of her hands up to her mouth, gently rubbing her lips. "I don't like that."
"Sorry princess," Ash frowned sympathetically. "I forgot to shave. Maybe I'll do it later, because your Mommy doesn't like it either."
"It's not nice," Michelle agreed.
"Hey Daddy."
Ash felt someone poking the top of his head. He rolled his eyes back and found Aiden kneeling behind his head, the boy's small finger prodding at his scalp.
"Hey champ," Ash blinked. "What's up?"
"Can we play a game?" Aiden inquired. "I came up with a good one."
"Sure buddy," Ash smiled. He lowered Michelle onto his stomach and sat up, causing the girl to whine sadly. "Sorry princess. But you and I have been playing for quite awhile. It's Aiden's turn now."
"But that's only because he didn't want to play with us," Michelle accused. The disgruntled face she made afterwards was a perfect match for that of her mother.
"I know, but he found a game he wants to play now," Ash patted his daughter's head. "It's only fair sweetie."
"You can play too Shelly," Aiden tried, shrugging his little shoulders.
"There you go!" Ash beamed at the still annoyed little girl. "We can all play together! Doesn't that sound fun?"
"I guess," Michelle sighed, although a little smile was soon gracing her young and beautiful face. "What game are we going to play, Aiden?"
"I wanna play swords," Aiden grinned. "I'm gonna be the hero, and Daddy is gonna be the bad guy."
"What about me?" Michelle was scowling now.
"You can be the princess I have to rescue," Aiden suggested.
"Okay," Michelle jumped off of Ash. "Where do I go?"
"Climb up into the window in the living room!" Aiden called as he ran off to retrieve the toy swords. "We can pretend that it's the tower Daddy put you in."
"I would never put my little girl in a tower!" Ash gasped playfully.
"But you're the bad guy in the game, Daddy," Aiden replied very seriously. "So you have to!"
"If you insist buddy," Ash chuckled, getting up to his feet. He watched as his two children scampered off in different directions, preparing for Aiden's well thought out game. "What should I do in the meantime, Pikachu?"
"Ka," Pikachu sighed. He was sleeping on the nearby couch and didn't seem to want to be disturbed, even by his trainer.
"Okay, guess I'll just sit here and wait for Aiden," Ash shrugged, sitting down on the couch next to his electric type.

"Look sir! There's the little girl!"
Loki grunted in annoyance at his assistant's disruption, but the silver haired man soon processed his inferior's words.
"I do assume you mean the one we already tried to steal?"
"The very same."
Loki pulled the binocular system away from Castor, causing the navy haired man to pull back and frown slightly. Loki set his sights on Michelle, who was sitting in the window sill and looking out into the room.
"Excellent," Loki murmured. "So we know they're in the house."
"You're not just going to go for the girl again, are you?" Castor prodded.
"No, do I look stupid to you?" Loki sneered as he pulled away from the binoculars. Castor gulped and quickly shook his head. Breathing out, Loki continued, "now that I know what they're capable of, I've thoroughly planned ahead. I'm going to get both children this time."
"But how?" Castor asked quietly.
"I have my ways," Loki narrowed his emotionless, steel grey eyes. "You don't have to worry about a thing. Just stay here like the good, albeit useless, little servant you are and make sure I receive a proper getaway."
"Yes Master Loki," Castor muttered, watching intently as the older man turned on a heel and marched off, accounting for all of the poke balls resting on his belt.

"Try as you may, brave knight, but you'll never get to the princess!"
Aiden glared at his sword wielding father, who was standing guard in front of the window sill where Michelle sat. For someone who was nice to everyone he met and didn't have a single bad bone in his body, Ash was pretty good at playing the part of the bad guy. He'd witnessed enough of them to imitate the act, after all.
"I will, you'll see!" Aiden cried, pointing his own toy sword at the older male.
"Would a foolish knight such as yourself really start a sword fight with an evil…" Ash paused as he tried to come up with a good title for himself, "magician such as myself?"
"Magician?" Aiden repeated, laughing as he broke out of his character. Ash tried to hold back his own fit of laughter, but it was no use. He too broke character and began chuckling along with his young son.
"Ha! I tricked you!" Aiden called out. He ran towards Ash and began hitting him in the legs with his toy saber. Ash yelped playfully and tried to hold Aiden back, but it was no use. Aiden's assault with the plastic sword was too great, even for the Pokémon master.
"Oh no, you got me!" Ash cried dramatically. He fell to the ground and moaned a little bit for extra affect before closing his eyes and sticking his tongue out of the side of his mouth.
"Yay, I killed him!" Aiden cheered. He jumped up onto the couch and then into the window sill, where he sat proudly next to his sister. "And I rescued the princess and her prized Pikachu."
"Pika!" Pikachu commented from atop Michelle's head.
"You make a very good bad man Daddy," Michelle smirked.
The Pokémon master popped up, his chocolate brown eyes gleaming. "You think so Shelly?"
"Uh huh!" Michelle nodded. Pikachu jumped off her head and into her lap, clapping his little paws together as if to applaud his trainer's performance.
"Can we play this again later Daddy?" Aiden asked. "I want Mommy to play too!"
"She might be too tired to play champ," Ash frowned.
"Mommy's gettin' really big," Michelle piped up.
"Don't let her know that princess," Ash quickly shook his head. "She'll get really upset if she hears that."
"Okay, I won't say anything," Michelle's eyes widened slightly. She certainly didn't want to upset her mother.
"But she's only gettin' bigger cause the baby's gettin' bigger, right?" Aiden blinked.
"That's right," Ash nodded.
"So why would she get upset?" Aiden drew his legs into his chest.
"Because Mommy is very sensitive right now," Ash explained. "Her feelings get hurt really easily. If you tell her she looks bigger, she thinks you're calling her fat."
"How do you know?" Michelle inquired.
"Err…let's just say I have some experience in that department," Ash chuckled, nervously rubbing the back of his head.

Hmm, this seems to be an excellent spot to continue with my mission.
Loki was leaning against the side of the house, a devious smile plastered on his face. He selected one of his poke balls and enlarged the sphere, pressing the center button so it opened and emitted a ray of light. The beam soon formulated into a Salamence.
The large dragon Pokémon glanced at its master, small puffs of smoke shooting out from its nostrils. In turn, Loki smirked and looked towards the window, where he spotted Ash playing with his two young children. Their little smiles, the jovial laughter he could hear coming through the glass…
"They won't be in such high spirits when I succeed," Loki turned back towards Salamence. "Use dragon tail on the window. Break it up. And try not to hurt any of them. Just startle them; garner some attention. And then prepare to battle."
Salamence's only response was through a low growl. Its tail began to glow a bright shade of white. With a small flap of its wings, Salamance was up in the air, just hovering above the ground. With another puff of smoke, Salamence spun around and whipped his tail at the window. Only the end of his tail connected the glass, and with just enough force to shatter the glass.
Loki watched in pleasure as the two children shrieked in horror, their father gasping and pulling them away from the damaged window.
"And so it begins," Loki murmured, stepping away from the side of the house to put himself into a better view.

"Aw man, Misty is not going to be happy about that," Ash groaned as he stared at the shattered window.
The two crying children in his arms quickly tore him away from that problem, however. Ash quickly moved on to try and comfort the startled children, bouncing them up and down while kissing their heads.
"Don't worry you two, everything will be alright."
Aiden and Michelle only continued their hysterics, showing no sign of stopping anytime soon. Ash looked back up at the window and glared at it.
That was not random, glass doesn't just break on its own, Ash thought darkly. Someone is definitely behind this, and I'm going to find out who. No one targets my family and gets away with it.
"Pikachu, stay here with Aiden and Michelle," Ash instructed strongly. "Take them somewhere safe."
"Pika?" Pikachu asked worriedly. Where?
"Try the attic," Ash replied. Pikachu nodded, gently nudging at the two terrified children.
"Pipika, Pipikachu," Pikachu beckoned softly. The twins kept on sniffling, but eventually turned their heads in order to stare down at the electric mouse.
"Go with Pikachu you two," Ash murmured as he put the children down on the floor. "I'm going outside to see what's up."
"Daddy, no!" Michelle cried, jumping up for him. Ash frowned and wrapped his arms around the young girl, giving her one last hug before putting her back down and standing up.
"I won't be gone long sweetheart," Ash comforted. "And Pikachu is going to protect you and Aiden."
Aiden and Michelle were looking up at their father with tear filled eyes, and didn't dare say a word. Ash gave them both a small nod before running off towards the door, determination locked in his russet eyes.
He ran outside and stood in the walkway, head switching from side to side. Ash knew something was up, and he swore to himself he'd spend all day looking for the source of the attack.
"I know you're out here," Ash barked gruffly. "Show yourself!"
The sound of rustling bushes could be heard, causing Ash's breath to get caught in his throat. He took a cautious step forward and nervously reached towards his belt, preparing to grab a poke ball if need be. Almost as soon as it began, the rustling noises came to a halt, and the air was still once more.
"Hello?" Ash called unsurely.
"Greetings, Pokémon master. It's been awhile, hasn't it?"
Ash's head snapped forward. His dark brown eyes narrowed and a deep growl came from within him. The amount of anger that filled Ash upon seeing this man was indescribable. It was an anger that Ash never thought he could be capable of.
"You have a lot of damn nerve showing up here after what you did to my daughter," Ash bit. "I ought to kill you."
"Perhaps," Loki mused, his grey eyes rolling in shallow thought. "But you aren't bold enough to do that, Pokémon master. I know for a fact you would never harm another living creature, yet alone another human being."
"Maybe you'd be the first," Ash retorted quietly. Loki had a point; Ash would never be able to hurt even the worst person in the world. Right now, however, he wished he had it in him.
"I doubt that," Loki finished his challenge with a little smirk.
"You broke that window, didn't you?" Ash nodded towards the shattered glass.
"Not me, no," Loki chuckled as he shook his head. "No, that was the fine work of my Salamence. All I did was tell him what to do. He's a very obedient thing, very strong. Not even a Pokémon master such as yourself could take him on."
"Try me," Ash could feel his cheeks reddening. "I'll destroy that thing. And then I'll destroy you. Or you can just run away now like the coward you are."
"I'm no coward, dear master," Loki continued grinning, which only further infuriated Ash. "Running for me would never be an option."
"Then I've got a nice surprise for you," Ash showed off a mocking smile. He plucked one of his poke balls and enlarged it, shifting his eyes off to the side and beaming proudly at the sphere. "I've just recalled one of my best Pokémon. He'll make your Salamence look like a weak little Caterpie."
"It's such a nice fantasy world you live in," Loki chuckled slightly. "It's really too bad I must shatter it for you."
With a snap of his fingers, the large, teal colored dragon appeared, puffing smoke out of his nostrils. The appearance of Salamance didn't even deter Ash. He simply pressed the center button and released his own Pokémon, the one he knew for a fact could take on Salamence without a problem.
"Let's see if you can handle my Charizard," Ash replied smartly, furrowing his brow.
The big, orange fire type glared at his foe. Charizard looked down on every single one of his opponents, but the fact that this particular one was also a dragon only made Charizard despise him even more.
"Salamence, I assume you can take care of this minor nuisance?" Loki inquired with a non caring tone. In turn, Salamence roared loudly and gave a strong flap of his wings.
"You're going down!" Ash stormed. "Charizard, fire spin!"
Charizard let out a ferocious cry and unleashed a stream of swirling fire from his mouth. Salamence just started at the oncoming flames, eyes narrowed in concentration while reflecting an uncaring stance.
"How tame," Loki muttered. Clearing his voice, he called, "Salamence, use crunch, won't you?"
Salamence flew up above the fire spin attack and right towards Charizard. He swooped down, opening his mouth to reveal a set of glowing white fangs. Effortlessly, Salamence bit down in Charizard's neck, causing the orange dragon to cry out in pain and go crashing to the ground.
"Charizard!" Ash yelled in concern. There was no way that one crunch attack could knock out Charizard. He was just way too powerful. "Come on!"
Just as Ash had suspected, Charizard got right back up in the air, his face only looking angrier after Salamence's attack.
"Ah, so he is powerful," Loki stroked his chin.
"Of course he is," Ash narrowed his eyes. "Don't be a moron."
"Me? A moron?" Loki let out an evil laugh. "You do realize that you are the one accusing me of that, correct Pokémon master?"
Ash growled before barking, "Charizard, wing attack! Don't show Salamence any mercy!"
Charizard burst forward, his large wings glowing the same shade of white that Salamence's fangs had just portrayed. He tilted to the left and cut Salamence right across his teal colored body, causing the half dragon type to yelp in pain.
Loki huffed quietly, not showing any concern for his hit Pokémon. "Oh please. Salamence, use dragon tail."
Salamence recovered rather quickly and, within seconds, threw his glowing tail at Charizard. The fire type didn't have any time to react before being hit square in the face and once again sent barreling to the ground.
"No!" Ash yelled, his hands balling into fists at his side.
"This is our second battle now and it's almost worse than the first," Loki bemoaned. Setting his gleaming gray eyes on Ash, he remarked, "really, how is such a failure like you the Pokémon master?"
"You're going to be so sorry, I swear!" Ash screamed. Looking down at his Pokémon, he ordered, "Charizard, get up! And blast Salamence with heat wave!"
Charizard got back up, albeit more slowly than before. Wincing slightly, he blew out a thin screen of blazing hot fire. It enshrouded both Salamence and Loki, which technically wasn't supposed to happen. Ash didn't particular mind Charizard's gaffe, however. He probably sensed how much Ash hated the stupid silver haired man, and had included him in the attack on purpose. When the fiery partition disappeared, however, both Loki and Salamence were gone, greatly concerning Ash.
"Where the hell did they go?" Ash hissed.

"Misty, the gym is looking excellent! Now I see why you've had such an increase in challengers over the past year."
"Thank you sir," Misty smiled sheepishly. "I take every opportunity I can to improve the facilities. It's good to stay up to date, you know?"
"Indeed, I do," Mr. Andrews beamed and nodded. He looked around the gym one last time before scribbling some more notes onto his notepad.
Misty was glancing her emerald eyes downward, hoping to catch a little glimpse of whatever it was Mr. Andrews was writing. She had both hands resting on her stomach, occasionally giving it a comforting rub. About midway through the inspection, the baby must've woken up, because she'd been kicking relentlessly. Misty felt every jab, every movement, and she was actually beginning to grow tired of it.
"Did I pass?" Misty finally piped up, especially after Mr. Andrews threw her a little smirk.
"Yes, with flying colors," Mr. Andrews confirmed. Misty grinned and took her hands off of her belly to clap. The baby kicked as hard as she could, clearly not pleased over the loss of her mother's attention. Gasping softly, Misty put her hands back, looking down at her bump as she did so.
"I just have…one concern," Mr. Andrews broke Misty out of her revere. His face was emotionless, which caused Misty's lips to bend into a frown.
"What is it?" Misty blinked. "Did you see something wrong with the gym?"
"No," Mr. Andrews shook his head. "No, it's not that."
"Then what is it?"
Mr. Andrews cleared his throat and gazed up almost nervously at the water type gym leader. "How far along are you, Misty?"
Misty wasn't entirely sure of what Mr. Andrews had meant until she noticed him motioning towards her belly. "Oh. About five and a half months. Why?"
"You won't be able to battle much longer. It's getting closer and closer to your due date…and that baby is growing rather quickly."
Misty felt one of her eyebrows twitch, but she wasn't about to disagree with the man. As much as she hated people commenting on her weight, and at the moment she still wanted to slap the inspector, he was right. For someone who was only five and a half months along, she was pretty big.
"Why is that a concern though?" Misty pressed.
"Who's going to run the gym while you're gone? Or at least help you out?" Mr. Andrews sighed sadly. "I'd hate to see this gym go downhill."
"It won't," Misty laughed dryly. "I'll keep battling for as long as I can. Just because I'm…huge doesn't mean I can't battle. I'm not impaired in that department, despite what my husband will try to tell you. And when it comes time, I'll go on maternity leave, just like last time." Finishing up with a smirk, Misty added, "the young trainers of Kanto can wait for a gym battle with the tomboyish mermaid for a few weeks, now can't they?"
"I suppose so," Mr. Andrews showed Misty a little smile.
"Besides, I have my assistant Justin helping me out at the moment. He's not here today, but he's a very sweet and helpful young man. This gym will be just fine."
"I trust you," Mr. Andrews affirmed. "Congratulations my dear."
"Oh, thank you," Misty blushed slightly as she smiled down at her midsection.
"I meant on passing the inspection," Mr. Andrews chuckled.
"Oh!" Misty looked up, a heavy blush resting on her cheeks.
"But congratulations on that too," he nodded towards her stomach, chuckling at the gym leader's little mix up.
"Thank you," Misty repeated, a girlish giggle escaping from her lips.
Mr. Andrews decided to leave from the back, and Misty went out the front glass doors, her usual way. She sighed as she tiredly rubbed the back of her neck. Misty couldn't wait to just get home and see her family. Gym inspections were dull; her family never was. Misty just knew that Ash would be standing near the door, excited to find out the results of the inspection, and the twins would be jumping up and down, eager to play with her.
Walking in front of the house, Misty noticed one of the windows was broken. She narrowed her eyes, not overly thrilled with that sight.
"What the hell did Ash do now?" Misty muttered under her breath. She didn't even want to know what game Ash was playing with Aiden and Michelle to cause that. "I'm not fixing it. He better be aware of that."
Misty opened the front door and walked into the living room. It was dead silent, which concerned Misty even more. After a few seconds, there were still no footsteps, no excited shrieks and squeals, and no Pokémon crying out happily in their own language.
"Ash?" Misty called. No response. "Aiden? Michelle?" Still nothing.
Okay, this is a little unnerving…Misty thought.
"Pi…"
Misty's ears perked at that one. It was very quiet, and Misty couldn't even be sure of whether or not she had made it up in her mind.
"Pikachu?" Misty beckoned.
"Pikachupi…"
Okay, I'm definitely not imagining that, Misty furrowed her brow. Looking up the steps, Misty found Pikachu peeking out from the top of the stairs, his right ear bowed slightly while twitching intently.
"Pikachu, what are you doing?" Misty asked as a little smile appeared on her face.
"MOMMY!"
Misty's heart started to pound as she jumped slightly. That scream was certainly out of nowhere. And it was a chorusing yell. It came from both Aiden and Michelle, of that Misty was sure of.
This was confirmed when the two children came racing down the stairs, their eyes still glistening with tears. They both jumped at their mother's legs, holding onto her as tightly as they could. Misty could feel them shaking and crying, and she knew she had to take care of them.
"Oh, what is it?" Misty cooed. She knelt down, with some difficulty, but she was able to do it, and gathered the twins into her arms. "What's happening? Where's Daddy?"
"Someone broke the window!" Aiden wailed. Misty looked back up towards the shattered glass and her eyes widened slightly. So it WASN'T Ash!
"What do you mean someone broke it baby?" Misty soothingly rubbed the back of Aiden's head.
"It…it just broke!" Aiden continued sobbing. "A…and Daddy went outside t…to see who it was!"
"And where's Daddy now?" Misty repeated.
"We don't know!" Michelle blubbered. "He…he's still gone!"
"Who would do that?" Misty asked herself, still tending to the two young children in her arms.
"Well, isn't this just perfect!"
Misty's head shot up at the unfamiliar voice. Aiden and Michelle unsurely turned their heads as well, looking for the source of the voice. Upon seeing the figure, Michelle screamed and buried her face into her mother's chest. Misty focused in further on the man. She had never seen him, that she knew, but for some reason she felt like he'd been described to her before.
Messy silver hair, grey eyes, a strange choice of clothing…
"Who are you?" Misty spat.
"Allow me to introduce myself," the man leaned in through the window pane. "My name is Loki. And I'm here for all three…excuse me…all four of you!"
Loki's back. Of course he is, he's our villian! And if you guys hate him now, just you wait until we get deeper in. You're going to want to kill him just as bad as Ash wants to.
I didn't get many reviews last chapter :( Where are all of my loyal reviewers? I miss reading everybody's feedback :P
