The Power Of Aura And The Temple Of The Sea

Chapter 2

Ash gazed down as the strange feeling over came him once again but more than before, he snapped out of it when he heard Max yelling "hello!" The girl down at the bottom hill who was directing the Pokémon who were swimming in and out of the water paused their practice when she heard Max's voice. "Hey can we have some water?!"

She blinked in confusion but smiled since they seemed like nice kids, "of course!"

"Yeah, yeah!" Cheered Max as he went to poke his finger in the big bubble of water but the Pokémon inside jumped out and knocked him over "wahhh!"

"Hey who are you guys?" Asked the girl.

"My names Ash and this is pikachu," said Ash introducing himself and his Pokémon who perched on top of his shoulders.

"Pika!"

"My names May," May followed and then Max.

"And I'm Max."

Brock lit up in happiness and excitement once he had idea of who the girl was "hey your with the underwater marina group right?"

The girl nodded "that's right!"

"And you're names Lizabeth and you're the star of the show?!"

Lizabeth giggled "right again!"

"Aweesssommme, your on the all time tip-top of my favorite stars list, this must be destiny, that we should meet, I'd be delighted to go a swimming date with you and all your wonderful water Pokémon!" Brock screamed in excitement but was pulled away by Max and by his ear.

"Not on your life," Max muttered as he pulled the breeder away.

Ash stood in a daze the feeling was overwhelming him now he held his head "uhgggg."

"Ash is something wrong?" Brock asked a little worried.

"Yeah this feeling's come back and its much stronger than before."

"Perhaps you should come inside the trailer Ash and get some water?" Suggest Lizabeth.

Ash nodded "yeah maybe that's what I need," the group entered the trailer and introduced to Lizabeth family.

Ash couldn't control this feeling and something pulled him towards another room in the trailer, "wait don't go in there!" Cried the grampa.

But Ash was already in there, what he saw was a red-headed girl lying on a bed but she looked pretty hurt, "M-Misty?!"

"Pikachupi?!" Cried Pikachu.

"Ash did you just say Misty?!" Asked Brock as he and the others came into the room.

"Yeaahhhh," Ash said in shock.

"You kids know this girl?" Asked the grampa.

"Yeah she used to travel with me and Brock and she's also met May and Max a couple of times before," explained Ash he hadn't taken his eyes of the gym leader.

The grampa sighed "come we'll explain everything right Jackie?!"

They turned to a man dressed as a clown, "right since you kids know each other its only right!" He agreed.

They gathered at the table in the trailer and Lizabeth father was driving the trailer to the next town, the marina group had offered to give Ash and the others a sample of their show, "so Jackie how'd Misty get here and what happened?" Asked Ash who was eager to find out.

"I saved her from the pirate known as Phantom, he must've have kidnapped her from the Cerulean gym," explained Jackie with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Whose Phantom?!" Ash growled.

"He's a pirate that sails the ocean in search of the sea crown and he'll stop at nothing till he get's what he wants. He captured your friend because she is a link to the sea temple and she needs the help of a pokemon called manaphy who guides her to the temple which is located underwater." Jackie explained with folded arms as he leaned against a wall of the trailer.

"A link to the sea temple," muttered Ash with a frown.

"We think Misty maybe a descendent of the people of the water," said Lizabeth.

"People of the water?" Brock questioned.

"Yes, that is what we are, the people of the water sought peace and harmony with the water pokemon so they left to go live with them in what is known as the sea temple and on the eve of the solar eclipse that is when they held their celebrations in honour of the water pokemon, they had also built the sea temple to protect the jewel known as the sea crown," added the grampa.

Suddenly Pikachu called from the room that Misty was in, "Pikachupi!"

Ash stood up and ran into the room, Misty was begging to wake up. "She's waking up."

Misty slowly opened her eyes her vision was blurry to begin with but the yellow blur she saw began to unwind and she was able to make out that it was a Pikachu, "Pikachu?" She asked softly.

"Pika!" Pikachu cried happily as he nuzzled her.

"A-are you...Ash?!" Misty cried in shock as she sat up and hugged the pokemon trainer.

"Hey Mist I'm glad to see your alright!" he hugged back.

After a few minutes Misty was up and out the bed with her clothes on and was happy to see her old friends again, "wow I just can't believe you guys are here!"

"It's so awesome to see you again Misty, you could travel with us for a while?!" Beamed May.

"Yeah great idea May, we're heading to the next town to see the marina groups show," Ash said towards Misty.

Misty smiled "I'd love to see that, and I've heard of you guys before."

They soon arrived at the town and the gang watched the performance and even joined in at the end, once it was finished they waited around until the marina group gathered up their stuff, Misty noticed the marina groups buizel playing about with a container the water pokemon almost dropped it but she managed to catch in time before it hit the ground.

Misty awed at what was inside when she accidently pushed a button that opened it, "huh?"

Jackie approached her and took the container off her hands and pasted her a smile while waving his finger at the buizel, Jackie took the container and placed it back into the trailer. Misty blinked in confusion "I wonder what that was?" She muttered to herself.
