Thanks to JL01 for the inspiration of POV writing I will now add it, and sorry about the long wait people just couldn't figure out how to write this chapter so it WILL be rather long(er). Any flash back thoughts will be quoted and italicized. And just thoughts will be bold and italicized. Thx again for reading.
Chapter 23: A Day filled with Misery
(Latias POV)
As Ash and Misty went to sleep I decided it was time for a nice walk away from the others then after that I would come back and goto sleep with my sweet little Ash and the others.
I then assumed normal form and cloaked to take a long hard look and the trail ahead of us and noticed a small town to the east and west of the campsite, and also a rather bad looking storm creeping up behind us, but roughly about a day or two away.
Suddenly if outta nowhere a large 'flock' of Pokémon just fly by and go east towards the town and a lake, I get a somewhat good look at them and decide I should probably get the others up and follow them.
I quickly drop back down to the campsite and leap it everyone's tent almost simultaneously.
(Normal POV)
"Wake up everyone; it's terrible we must hurry!"
"Wha…what is it Lati?"
Lati quickly brings up second sight and shows everyone the 'flock' of Pokémon.
"Hey that's…"
"That's who Ash?", asked Misty.
"Misty, Brock; you both should know who that is… remember that time in Johto…"
"Oh yeah him! I remember now!"
"Lati we know that group of Pokémon, it's no big deal, just let them about their business and we will probably see them later on."
"Ash it's not more like a probably, it's more like an almost definitely."
"How so Brock?"
"Well considering where Lati saw them headed, that will put them at your…"
"Let's see…"
"Plus two, carry the four…"
"7th gym general area."
a/n: alright guys this part is based on the first Pokémon movie (just a shortened version) and then the conclusion of that movie during the Johto series (Mewtwo returns and strikes back). So if you haven't seen them go rent, buy, read the summaries on Serebii, or *cough* torrent *cough*. One is on dvd (1st movie) the other is on vhs (hasn't been dvd released yet as far as I know) so your best bet is to read it on serebii's website. well enjoy my shortened version that I cramped together.
"Wow…that far away huh…"
"Yeah…"
"Wait guys I'm lost just what are you talking about?" May asks rather suddenly
Dawn and Lati also nodes in agreement.
"Well I'm not sure he would want us to say anything, but since you're not trying to take him away or anything I'm sure he won't mind."
"Ok…first lets all take a seat so no one gets hurt."
"Next, I'm gonna need to explain a few things, so no questions till I finish."
May, Dawn, and Latias each nod their heads.
"Alright now, first there this was a Pokémon… that was created by science. Essentially a clone."
"A clone?"
"Yes… a clone…of a fossilized mew…"
!
"Done by Team Rocket…"
!
"We don't know all the particular details behind his creation, but one thing we do know is this…he was angry at the world and he wanted everyone to know it…he even went so far as to kidnapping one of the Nurse joy's to aid in his conquest."
"He called trainers from all over Kanto to try and defeat him, because as far as we knew at the time he was a Pokémon trainer, but little did we know it was soon to be a battle for survival."
"Soon after arriving on his 'new island', he then proceeded to 'steal' all the trainers Pokémon and clone them."
"Next thing we know a battle breaks out between the originals and the clones, but the problem is they are equally matched and if something wasn't done they would end up killing one another. Finally mew…yes mew…and you can close your mouths now…"
Dawn and May, sit back down with their jaws on the ground.
"Anyway, mew and Mewtwo fight it out and I try to stop the fight by literally jumping into the fight to stop them."
"After that I blanked out…"
"Ash…I don't remember if we told you this, but you died at that moment. You were turned to stone…I only (*sniff)…remembered…that (*sniff)…just…now…as…you (*sniff)…told…the… story (*sniff)…"
Misty begins to weep along with Latias
"Oh Misty…Latias"
Ash pulls both close to comfort them and Brock finishes up the part of the story.
"So all the Pokémon that where fighting stop and begin to cry right along with us…and if like magic Ash suddenly brought back to life and wakes up."
"Then Mewtwo decides it would be best if everyone forgot the past few events so he erased all the trainers' memories and sent us back to (unknown)* city's Pokémon center several days earlier."
A/N: was never told the city name, but if anyone has found it just message me with the proof and I will make changes (with your credit here)
"so… how did you guys remember all this if he wiped all your memories?"
"Well about two years later while shooting for the Johto league we see him and instantly remember all that had happened. After all was said and done only Team Rocket forgets why they are there and leaves. Basically Team rocket wanted the water and all the clones that had taken refuge there, so they decided to move in and make a base there once mewtwo was confirmed."
"Anyway, we were spared from the memory wipe, but team rocket was not and ended up leaving with nothing. Afterwards we said our goodbyes and haven't seen or heard from them since."
Two of the girls just sit there stunned beyond reason, Lati on the other hand was glowing as if she was reading Ash's thoughts and watching them as if she was watching them like a home movie.
"So Lati, I trust you understand just what happened?"
Lati stops glowing and simply nodes wiping a tear from her eye.
"What's wrong…"
"Oh no, she must be torn up about seeing me from Misty's point of view of me being turned to stone."
"Oh Lati its ok, I'm fine see I'm right here."
Ash gets up and takes a seat beside to comfort her until seconds later Lati changes to Misty's shoulder to cry on. Misty then puts her arm around Lati to help comfort her until she finally stops crying.
"Alright now that that's all cleared up how about we get in a few more hours of sleep so we at least have some energy tomorrow."
Everyone heads for their respective tents and falls asleep…
The next day…or several hours later…
Everyone is up and around getting ready for the day and breakfast…
"Ahhh!"
Three screams come from the tents, one in each…
"Misty!"
"Dawn!"
"May!"
"Ash…help me…"
"Misty it's just…oh alright...come here little one."
The little frightened Caterpie crawls up to Ash and away from Misty and Ash releases it back into the woods.
Misty jumps into his arms as he reenters the tent scared out of her pants, saying things only either her lover or a psychic would know.
"Alright now let's check on Dawn…"
They rush over to her tent only to see that her hair is in another fritz.
"Oh Dawn…"
"Now for May let's hope she at least had a good excuse…"
"Alright Ash for your information I'm fine, I just misplaced my um… nevermind."
"Brock walks up to her and hands her a picture."
"Here you go May; it was just underneath your sleeping bag."
"Thanks Brock…"
May takes it as soon as Brock gives it to her and shoves it into her bag as to avoid any more troublesome incidents.
About an hour later…
"Alright guys dig in!"
"Yay! What's for breakfast Lati?"
"Breakfast taco's, topped anyway you like."
"Wow, haven't had those in a while",
"Yeah it seems like forever since I had real eggs with bacon and chicken."
"Alright guys, let's dig in!"
Everyone: "Itadakimasu!"
…
"Wow Lati this is good, the eggs are cooked just right not to runny or hard I think I might want seconds."
Lati simply nodes in response with a big smile on her face while continuing to eat her own taco.
About 45 minutes later…
"Oh that was good Lati I think I'm going to enjoy your cooking…"
"Hmph!"
"Oh sorry Misty, it's just…ok I guess there is no excuse that can get me out of this. But maybe you should ask Lati if she wouldn't mind teaching you."
Misty's face turns from one of grief to sadness.
"Lati you wouldn't mind would you?"
"Lati happily nodes and grabs Misty's hand."
"Well…ok…If Lati doesn't mind…"
Lati releases her hand and starts jumping up and down all over the area they were at.
"Wow and I thought Misty would be the one to be doing that not Lati, it's almost like she wants to teach her how to cook."
"Ash don't say that, it like you're saying that she wouldn't make a great teacher."
"Yeah Ash don't be mean!" added May.
"I was just…oh never mind forget I said anything…"
"Hey come on Ash, give her some credit it's the first actually thing you asked her to do in a while so let her be happy."
"Yeah…Brock I get it…"
"Good, now since Lati cooked we get to clean," commented Brock.
Everyone stops what they were doing and immediately starts packing up so they can try to avoid doing the dishes.
But before anyone can get back Lati stops them dead in their tracks and 'psychically' carries them back to finish the job.
After 20 minutes of cleaning everyone is packed and on the road.
Now that our heroes have filled there stomach's, they are making their way for the next gym. What sort of adventure awaits find out now on Events Unexpected.
…
"Brock how much longer till we get to the next city?" complained Misty
"Well according to the map we should be only a…few…hours…from…"
"They climb over the next hill only to stare at the mountainous range in front of them."
"Brock I think, your map is wrong…", replied Dawn
"No it can't be…" said Brock
"Well for the first time, Brock has actually gotten us lost…" Misty commented
"At least the Pokémon center on the map is here," replied Ash looking over Brock's shoulder
"Yeah it is!" said Brock at once
"Huh?" asked Misty.
"Where?" added Dawn.
"Where do you see it Brock?" asked May
"Right there just before the edge of that mountain to your left."
Brock was pointing towards the southwest mountain closest to them.
"Oh…there it is, I see it now let's go guys." May said while running ahead of the group a bit.
"Alright May slow down now no need to rush things."
"Ok Misty, considering you're now stuck in your wheelchair, I can slow down a bit."
"Oo, I can't wait to sleep in an actual bed," commented Dawn.
"I know what you mean Dawn, I love a good mattress over a sleeping bag any day." Agreed Misty
"Oop!"
"What is it Misty?" asked Brock.
"Oh nothing there just fighting again…" she replied placing her hand on her belly
"Ash can we stop for a second I wanna feel…if that's ok with Misty…" Dawn asked rather nervously.
"Oh May of course its ok, come on everyone." Ash replied.
Ash and company stop for a brief minute to 'feel' what seems to be a fight going on inside Misty.
"Come on Lati don't be scared," said Misty.
Latias was hiding behind Ash while everyone else was kneeling in front of Misty with all hands on stomach.
…
"It's ok Lati… they won't bite…yet…" commented May
Lati hesitates before finally nodding and joining the others.
As she gently touches Misty's stomach, a sudden jolt sparks through her and collapses on the ground reverting to her original form.
"Lati?" everyone yells in shock.
"Brock! Help me get her on my back, I'll go on to the Pokémon center to get Nurse Joy to look at her and meet up you guys later…"Ash said rather suddenly.
"Sure thing Ash." Replied Brock.
Brock, May, and Dawn assist in getting Latias onto Ash, and Ash takes off towards the Pokémon center.
"I'll see you guys shortly…I'll call you when I get there."
"Alright Ash, talk to you soon." Dawn replied
"And May, Dawn; I'll leave Misty to you two ok?"
"Sure…", they reply
"Love you Misty!"
"See you soon Ash…"
And just like that Ash is jogging off with Pikachu and Rilou at his side and Lati on his back.
About 20 minutes later…
"Nurse Joy!"
Ash bursts into the Pokémon center and stuns Nurse Joy in the process.
"!…what is the matter, what happened?" asks Nurse Joy rather concernedly.
"Nurse Joy we were traveling together and she just collapsed on the ground." Replied Ash
"Chansey, bring me an ex stretcher stat!" ordered Joy
"Chansey!"
Chansey then appears almost out of nowhere with the stretcher and Ash nearly jumps out of his shoes.
"Woah!"
"Put her onto the stretcher I need to examine her." She ordered again
"Sure, give me a hand please?"replied Ash
Nurse Joy grabs Latias' other arm and helps Ash place Lati onto the waiting stretcher.
"Is she gonna be ok Nurse Joy?"asked Ash
Nurse Joy examines her briefly.
"Yes she'll be just fine, she just had and little too much activity going on at one time, so nothing to be worried about. I'll put her into one of our dark rooms so she can get some sleep."
"Thanks…that's a relief"
Suddenly Latias wakes up with a jolt, startling Ash and Nurse Joy at the same time.
"Lati! You're awake!" cried Ash
!
"Pika!"
"Ri!"
"Lati you ok?" he asked
Lati slightly nodes and tries to sit up holding her hand on her head.
"Lati please don't try and get up, you need your rest…"
"But I must, Misty is in great danger!" she replied
"What…how…how is Misty in danger?" asked Ash rather quickly
"I don't quite know, but when I put my hand on her something flashed in my head and that's why I passed out" she answered.
"Alright Latias calm down, I'll call them now to check on Misty" said Ash.
Meanwhile back with Misty, May, Dawn, and Brock…
*Joint – Kawada Mami*
"Hey my pokégear is going off, that must be Ash," said Dawn.
"Hello?"
"Hey Dawn, its Ash I made it to the Pokémon center with Latias, but when we got here we found out something disturbing…"
"Disturbing…what is it Ash?"asked Dawn.
"Well Latias woke up as soon as we laid her on a stretcher to take her to a quiet room so she could sleep it off, and in the process she told us that something may be wrong with Misty is she doing ok for the moment, Dawn?"
"Well take a look for yourself we're right outside."
"Oh, ha"
*Ash waves at the gang standing outside the door as he pulls his phone down and hangs up.
"Hey guys, so you made it ok?"
"Yes we did, how's Lati?" asked May.
Ash steps to the side and reveals Lati (now back in her human form) standing behind him.
"Lati! You're okay!" cried Misty
"Yes, but I am a little troubled though…"
"Troubled? About what?" asked Brock.
"Well…"
Latias explained what she had felt upon touching Misty.
"Wow, I never thought anything could happen like that, I mean I know you're a psychic type, but I never thought you could still do stuff like that."
"Yeah me neither, it all just happened so fast my mind couldn't take the stress and that's why I collapsed."
"Well at least it wasn't anything serious, since we are already here how about we stop for the day and let Lati get some sleep."
The gang nodes and heads for the foyer to take a breather while Ash follows them to check on Misty and the kids before stepping outside to train a bit before dinner. Meanwhile Lati follows Nurse Joy to the quiet room she had prepared so that she could get some sleep and clear her mind.
(1st person POV)
The next morning…
*phssss
"Good morning Nurse Joy", I whispered
"Good morning Mr. Nick, you're running a little early this morning…" replied Joy still yawning
"Yeah, goods came in last night and I've been tasked with driving all over the island to get all this to each of the centers, before the end of the day." I continued
"Wow you got a full day ahead of you don't you…" sighed joy rather concernedly.
"Yeah…"
*Bing
"Tsutarja!" Called the little light blue snake looking grass type.
"Pokabu!" Followed the red and black pig that was right behind Tsutarja.
"Miju, Miju!" Also called the little blue sea otter with a shell on his stomach.
"Hey guys I thought I said stay in the truck until we got to the next stop." I said
"Oh are these your Pokémon?" asked Joy/
"Yeah I'm takin care of them for, my kids until they become of age to train them on their own."
"I've never seen these little guys before, what region do they hail from?" Joy asked
"All the way from isshu, where my lovely wife and three adoring kids are staying in Hiun city, at least until we move into Kanoko town when there tournament is over."
"Wow, they are so cute, are they just lying around in the cab while you drive?"
"Yeah either that or bickering, I let 'em out whenever we take a lunch break so they can stretch, but other than that I keep 'em on a close leash so they don't get lost out here. I mean there perfect starter Pokémon for anybody."
"Do you mind if I examine them real quick?"
"Yeah sure, I haven't gotten there check up yet since last week so I guess now is a better time than any to do it."
"Thanks, come here little ones, let's go get your check up and then I'll have a special treat for you!"
"No Joy, don't give 'em any sweets…" I sighed
"Don't worry; I know about their little hyperactivity, I'll get them some special fruit."
"Phew, I'd hate to have to put them back into their Pokéballs just for that again, it's hard enough to control the rascals now…anyway thanks again Joy."
Nurse Joy steps into the back room to examine the three Isshu starters while I take a quick breather and wait for them to come back from her checkup.
(Normal POV)
*yawns
"What's all the ruckus going on in here?" asked Ash as he walked into the foyer.
Ash and Lati step into an almost empty foyer.
*snoring
"What's that sound?"
"It's coming from over there Ash…" replied Lati.
Latias points to the seats that are near the doors leading outside.
Ash and Lati approach the being rather cautiously.
"Oh, it's just a delivery worker taking a nap." Sighed Ash.
*healing music plays
The snoring stops and the being shifts a bit in the sofa.
"Alright Mr… oh hello children sorry if we woke you up, Mr. Nick your Pokémon…are…"
Nurse Joy stops and stares at him rather joyfully, that is until the three starter decide it was time for him to wake up and leap on him all at once.
(1st Person POV)
"Ahhh!" I scream
"Oh it just you three, you scared me, ya know that?" I realize before making a troublesome scene even more so than before.
"Tsu…"
"Poka…"
"Miju…"
"Oh so that means you're done with 'em Joy?"
"Yes the three of them are all perfectly healthy, especially for one's so young for their age."
"Huh?" I ask
*bing "no data available"
"Huh? Again with that…" commented the young man
"What's wrong kid?" I asked
"It's my damn Pokédex, this is the second time it's told me no data."
"Second? When was the first?"
"About two weeks ago when I saw…"
"Ash darling what's all the commotion going on in here?"
"Oh Misty you shouldn't be up, just head back to bed and we'll talk later."
"Ash these two are hungry, and I can't sleep when they are like this…"
"Oh alright…"
"Sorry Mr…"
"Nick."
"Sorry Mr. Nick but I'll have to talk to you about it another time, duty calls…"
"Don't worry about it I have a little time to spare, before I need to get back on the road so I can stick around."
"But…" interrupted Joy.
"Don't worry about it Joy I planned for this anyway so don't worry about it, plus it will give time for these three to stretch out a bit more."
"Ok, just remember to keep an eye on them." She replies
"Hai, hai."
"So Ash, what were you saying?"
"Well first, I need to explain something to you before I get started, and second you definitely need to see the Pokémon."
"Alright, lay it on me…"
We sit down in one of the booths so that Mrs. Misty could eat and Ash spent the next 5 min. summarizing how he came across and caught this Pokémon.
"So where is the little tyke I may know a little about him."
"Hang on just a sec, 'xcuse me darling", Ash said as he removed the Pokéball from around her neck.
"Come on out Zorua."
"Zorua?"
Seconds later the little black and red fox appear on the floor next to my three starter Pokémon.
"Oh…that little one, yeah he rings a bell, I've seen a few of them in Isshu."
"Isshu?" Ash and Misty both reply.
"Yeah Isshu, it's a rather small country on the opposite side of the Orange islands."
"Hmm…" thought Ash
"Yeah I know where that is…" chimed the young girl standing next to me.
"Woah…you scared me there pretty lady, I didn't even here you step in."
"Eh…heh…heh…" replied Ash nervously.
"May I?" she asked
"Sure, here you can sit on the inside close to your friends."
"Why thank you Mr. Nick, by the way your home town looked really pretty."
"Wait how did you know where I'm from?"
"She is psychic, wouldn't think about it too much." Replied Ash.
"Oh, so I trust you know what my family looks like too don't cha darling?" I asked
"Hai, and they look very kind too, and I know what you're thinking right now you shouldn't give that one to Light; you should give that one to Hikari."
"What, how did you know… oh right psychic…could you not do that again please, it's a little unnerving?"
"Sure, I'm sorry if I invaded too much…"
"Easy Lati, don't invade his privacy too much." Ash commented
"Lati? Now where have I heard that name before…" I thought.
"Latias is what you're thinking right?" came a voice in my head
"Huh?"
Lati was simply just staring at Misty rather calmly.
"Shh… don't look too alarmed, I only want to ask a favor…" she says again
"A favor…can't you just do it out loud?" I ask in thought
"No actually I can't I'm a Pokémon." She replies
"A what now?" I query
Latias reveals her true form to my mind's eye.
"Don't look to alarmed or you'll startle the others." She orders
"Do they know?" I ask
"Yes they do, they just don't know who I've told yet…" she replies
"Well, what is it that you would like me to do?" I ask
"All I want is a ride into the next town for me and my friends." She says
"That's it?"
"Um-hmm….that's it, no tricks."
"All right, but if you guys wanna ride you had better get them to get ready because I have a schedule to keep."
"Don't worry I'll make it worth your while."
I think for a few min.
"Alright deal, but you have to get them to come out now otherwise I'll leave without you."
"Thank you!"
And the telepathic images disappear, and we appear back in the Pokémon center.
(Normal POV)
"Wake up May, Dawn, Brock!" Lati yells
"What is it Lati?" they ask at once
"I found us a ride into the next town and I need you guys up and packed, Now!"
"Alright just let me…"
"No! No buts you can take what you need when we get there if we are not ready now, we lose the ride."
"Alright we're comin…"
"Just one more thing don't tell Ash and Misty…and just follow my lead."
"Hai." They reply groggily
"Well Ash, are you ready for your next gym battle?"
"Yes Lati, I am but the only problem is getting there."
"What's wrong Ash?" Nick Asks
"Oh its nothing, I'm sure we can figure something out." Ash replies
"What town you headed to?"
"I don't remember the name let me ask Brock."
Ash starts to get up as Brock, May and Dawn groggily walk into the café.
"Hey Brock good timing, what is the name of the next city that the gym is in?"
"Oh it's…Star town." Replies Brock groggily looking at his map
"Star town…that's actually my next stop, how about I give you guys a lift?"
"Really? That would be a big help." Replied Ash
"No problem, just grab your stuff and we can leave now."
"Thanks."
"Just meet me out front when you've got everything."
"Alright…got it."
"Within minutes Ash and company are outside standing in front of what looks like one of the biggest trucks they've ever seen."
It is a blue and black eighteen wheeler, complete with overnight cab.
"Wow…how do you drive something this big while off road?"May asked
"Well missy it's simple, powerful all wheel drive and a diesel engine to power it. So virtually no loss in power, even while off-road."
"And it's got a video phone and Pokémon transport device onboard, normally it's just me and the Pokémon, but I think I should have enough room for everybody."
"And Mrs. Misty if you ever feel dizzy or sick I have a nice comfy bed you can lie on."
"Thanks…"
"Come on guys!"
After about 2 min. of trying to get everyone into the cab, the gang is off full speed headed towards Star city.
"So Ash, you want me to add those entries to your Pokédex?"
"Yeah that' would be great, but I think it might be better if Professor Oak does it."
"Sure, just give him a call and I'll set up the link."
Within moments, Ash is conversing with Professor Oak about all that has happened this morning.
"So Ash five Pokémon you've never seen before huh?" comments the Professor
"Yeah professor, and this guy here is willing to give the data to you."
"Well Ash, I can't just accept data from just anyone, security reasons and all; can I talk to him?"
"Yeah sure hang on just a sec."
"Nick?"
"Yeah?"
"The Professor wants to speak to you."
"Oh sure, hang on just a sec…"
"Computer."
*an acknowledgement signal goes off
"Transfer call to HUD, top right display."
*another acknowledgement signal plays
And Professor oak appears on the windshield.
"Hello professor… it's been a long time since we last got the chance to talk."
"Who is this?"
"I'm ashamed Professor after all this time; you still forget one of your best tech students…"
"Tech student? Wait…oh now I remember, wow it has been a long time, how have you been?"
"I've been good, word around is that your still hanging out in Kanto."
"Yep, been here's since you graduated back in '25."
"Wow it has been a long time, anyway Ash here tells me that your Pokédex still needs to be finished, mind if I give you the data?"
"Yeah sure, let me just open up our download server."
After several grueling minutes the transfer is started and the two colleagues continue to chat.
*ding, "transfer complete"
"Ah, good just in time; Ash just give me a sec to sort out the data…"
Several more minutes later…
"Done, now Ash if you'll just insert your Pokédex into the slot below I'll begin the update and transfer."
"This way I'll have live update's of who you see and catch."
"Alright Professor, thanks…"
*ding, "update complete"
"There you go Ash talk to you soon; and you as well Mr. Nick."
And with that both screens go blank and Ash searches his newly updated Pokédex.
"Wow, that's a lot of new Pokémon…maybe after the kids are a little older we can take the kids for a little sightseeing."
"Yeah that sounds nice, Ash…"
"Breaking news from the isshu region with a special bulletin, Hiun city has been attacked by several unknown terrorists, and three buildings have been utterly brought to the ground. So far no casualties have been reported as of yet. We will bring you more news on this story as it arrives."
(1st person)
"My concentration to the road just flew out the windows and exploded like an electrode in a china shop. My wife, kids, and home were all gone."
"Ck…"
"Ick..."
"NICK!"
"Yes!"
"Are you alright?" Lati asks
"No, just a second guys I need to make a call, computer dial wife cell"
* acknowledgement signal goes off
After a few seconds…
"The number you have reached is not available, please…"
I clicked the phone off immediately, computer dial bakery main.
"A bakery why, there?" asked dawn and may.
Latias stopped them before they could finish their sentence
"Furakara bakery, how may we help you?"
"Oh good Nagisa, it me. Have you seen my wife, and kids today?"
"Yes they were here about 5 min. too 10min. ago, why?"
"Nagisa, you mean you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the kitchen making more anpan (sweet bean bread)."
"Well take a quick look out the front door and look across the street and tell me what you see."
"Ok,"
Her face, just goes from very cheerful to one of absolute horror.
"Mr. Nick how did she not know?"
"It's complicated May, when she's cooking her bread, nothing and I mean nothing but a phone call, or a love tap from her husband will wake her up from the trance. Even if the room is on fire around her, it's complete and utter dedication to cooking."
"Wow…"
"Um…Mr. Nick let me call you back… I'll let you know if I hear anything."
And with that she hangs up the phone before even waiting for a response, and darts out the door.
"Thanks…"
(Normal POV)
"More breaking news from the isshu region, from one of the structures one body has been found in the debris."
With that one remark Mr. Nick was staring at the screen with 100% attention.
"It is that of what appears to be an approximately 30 year old female..."
More despair fills his ears and shows upon his face. And Latias is glowing with her psychic power in the back of the cab trying to keep him from killing them all in what he was hearing by losing control of the big rig.
Seconds later Latias is calming him down and bringing him back into reality.
"No…no…no!"
And the truck comes to a stop on the side of the road with the driver frozen in his seat.
"Hey why did the truck stop?" asked Misty
"Look its tsutarja, he stopped the truck. Mr. Nick must have taught them that if ever anything happened like this they would know what to do and prevent anyone else from getting hurt, including them."
"And for them to have reacted so quickly with this, they must have done it more than once."
About an hour later…
"Ugh…my head, hey kids you alright back there?" Nick asks
"Kids?"
"Tsutarja?"
"Mijimaru?"
"Pokabu?"
"Anyone?"
"Thunder Bolt!"
"Pika…chu!"
"What in the high heavens?" Nick asks stepping out of the truck
"Oh Mr. Nick you're awake, we were wondering when you would wake up you had a rough day yesterday." May replied
"Any news?" he asked
"Yeah a Mrs. Nagisa called to check up on you and asked how you were doing, other than that no we haven't seen any other updates, concerning the attacks and your family." Replied Brock
*Joint- Kawada Mami
"Hey my pokégear is going off…" said Dawn
"No its mine…hello?" said nick
"Daddy?" replied an all too familiar voice
"Princess?"
"Daddy!"
"Oh my god baby are you ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine daddy the nice bakery lady is with me right now."
"Oh thank god, where's mommy?"
"Mommy? I haven't seen her at all…"
"Sweetie can I talk to your daddy please?" asked Nagisa that could be heard over the phone
"Sure!"
"Daddy the bakery lady wants to talk to you."
"Ok sweetie,"
She hands her phone over to Nagisa
"Nagisa how bad is it?"
"Oh it's bad they only just found your daughter 20 min. ago and she was all the way at the park."
"The park? What was she doing over there?"
"The firefighters are saying that someone must have teleported her out of there, just before the explosion happened; they are still looking for your boys and wife."
"Thanks Nagisa, can you watch her for a little bit until I finish up here, I'll be on the next flight to isshu, this weekend…"
"Sure no problem, do you still wanna talk to her?"
"No, I feel that I won't even be able to speak to her without crying. Just give her a big hug and kiss for me and tell her that I'll see her before church."
"Sure, we'll see you then."
"Thanks Nagisa…"
And with that last remark, he hung up his phone and leaned onto the truck.
"Are you gonna be ok, Mr. Nick?" asked dawn.
"Yeah, I'm sure she's probably in the hospital right now and either unconscious or in a coma."
*slap
"Latias!" everyone cried
"Why would you talk like that about her she could be anywhere right now and all you can think about is the worst case scenario, you're unbelievable." She cried
"Lati every time they go shopping, the last place she stops, always is the Furakara bakery for their fresh bread and pastries, no matter what she been doing or anything."
"And when I talked to them earlier she told me they were there about 5 min. too 10min. before and our house is about that time away from it. That's the main reason we chose to live there, is because the bread is so fresh that if kept out of room temperature for more than 5 minutes the bread tastes different. That's why they are so popular."
"Oh yeah I remember hearing about them in a magazine, top 5 bakeries in the world. They are so good that the moment you step in it's almost like heaven on earth. And any bread you buy is either required to be wrapped or eaten there otherwise it will taste different after about 5-6 min." May commented
"So you have no idea what I'm going through right now!"
"Latias, May, and Dawn all walk up and hug him almost simultaneously."
"It's gonna be ok." They say at once
"We are here for you just let it out" Latias says
"Gah!" he yells pushing the girls in all directions
He then charges for a nearby tree and begins to punch it, with everything he's got.
The girls just sit there still rubbing their tailbones from the pain. And Latias gets up calmly and begins to glow light blue again.
Meanwhile Brock is trying to keep Ash from pummeling the guy for pushing the girls down.
"Ash just look closely, Lati has things under control" Brock states
About 5 minutes later Mr. Nick is calm and almost ready to get back on the road.
"Lati?"
"Yes Mr. Nick?"
"Can you use your psychic powers to see if their alright?"
"No I'm afraid my powers don't reach that far, from here."
"Ok…thanks anyway."
"Alright guys let's get going we have a lotta time to make up."
"OK!"
