The Power Of Aura And The Temple Of The Sea

Chapter 4

The gang was all in the in the trailer and Misty cradled the baby Manaphy in her hands. The little one had not stopped crying since they had entered the trailer and Misty having a hard time trying to calm him down, "mana, mana!" Manaphy cried.

"There, there, Manaphy, everything's going to be alright," Misty said softly as she rocked her hands back and forth the pokemon finally opened it's eyes and smiled up at Misty, he then yawned and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Guess we're finally, all tuckered out," said Lizabeth.

"Yeah, with a day like today, who wouldn't be?" Said Ash as they all gazed at the at the little blue Pokémon.

"Hey, Misty I could take over if you want?" Offered Lizabeth's mum to give Misty a break.

Misty nodded "yeah, if you don't mind."

Suddenly Mananphy started crying again as Misty gave him to Lizabeth's mum. "Oh, dear its okay calm down manaphy. Oh Misty, I'm afraid this little one only prefers you!"

She was right manaphy had stopped crying again once he was in Misty's arms, he giggled once he saw Misty and fell right back to sleep. Misty sighed with a smile "oh well."

"Hm, I'm getting the feeling that manaphy thinks your it's mother Misty," said Lizabeth.

Brock nodded in agreement "yes very often that when a human happens to hatch a pokemon the Pokemon will think it's their mother, just like Togepi Misty."

Misty was shocked but she remembered how Togepi didn't want to go to anyone else but her. she nodded and cuddled into Manaphy, Ash couldn't help but smile at the sence. Soon the trailer stopped and the gang had arrived at a temple in the middle of the forest. They entered and came to an area that was a bit dark Lizabeth's grampa turned on a lantern. "Do you kids have any water Pokémon?!"

"Yeah," Ash answered.

"Well, now it's your turn."

They all released their Pokémon and they swam until they reached a mural deep under ground but they were unaware that they were being followed by Phantom and Team Rocket. "Hey that looks like the temple I saw in my dream!" Stated Misty.

Everyone looked at Misty "you even got the name right Misty!" Stated Lizabeth.

Jackie turned to face the group "hm, while it is said that Manaphy is the prince of the sea, there is also a human known as the princess of the sea; she and Manaphy were to become partners and rule over the water Pokemon and the descendants of water. Manaphy was to guide the princess back to her home so she could take the crown and raise the temple back to surface once more!"

"So, who's the princess?!" Asked Ash .

Suddenly the gang were attacked by a water gun and an evil laugh sounded out "thought you could get away huh?!" It was Phantom, the evil pirate grabbed Misty "got you!"

"Misty!" Ash cried and pounced on him. "Let her go now!"

Phantom growled "get of me you brat!"

"Ash!" Misty cried as she struggled in the pirates grip.

Phantom's assistant released a smoke ball which made all of them disappear along a captured Manaphy who caught in a net since Jackie was too late stop them. "Noooo Manaphy, Misty!"

"Hey, where's Ash and Pikachu?!" May cried as she noticed that Ash had disappeared along with the rest.

"They must've disappeared along with Phantom!" Jackie growled "come on let's get out of here!"

"Right!" Said Lizabeth's grampa.

Meanwhile on top of a submarine traveling the sea, Ash, Misty were being held in the grips of two pirates. "Let's us go now!" Ash screamed.

"Hahhaha, sorry kids but that is not an option, the princess and prince of the sea are now mine!" Phantom laughed evilly.

Ash gasped "you mean Misty is the princess of the sea?!"

Misty's eyes went wide "what?!"

Phantom grinned as he turned back round to them, "that's right little boy, and I bet you didn't even know did you Misty?!"

Misty eyes went wide again and she looked down, "I don't."

Phantom smirked "then you'll also not know that you don't belong to your present family, hehe, you're real family died a long time ago!"

Misty felt tears sting the corners of her eyes "what?!"

Ash growled "you liar!"

"I am not lying little boy and I can prove it once we reach the sea temple; you two take these two and lock them up!" Phantom ordered two of his minions.

"Yes, sir!" They replied.

Ash and Misty struggled about in the grips of the pirates and they were flung inside a cage and bound in chains. "Hey let us out now!" Ash yelled.

"Sorry lover boy but you and you're little girlfriend are stuck here so don't try anything funny or you may get hurt!" One of the pirates chuckled evilly at the trainers.

Ash clenched his fist as they left them alone the two laughed the whole way out, Ash sighed but he turned to Misty when he heard crying, "Misty?" He said as he sat down next to her.

"Ash, you don't think it's true do you?" Misty asked softly.

Ash placed an arm round her shoulder "hm, I don't know Misty, Phantom does seem sure of himself, but don't worry I'll protect you Misty I won't let him hurt you," Misty looked up at Ash and cuddled into him which shocked him a little but he hugged her back.

Meanwhile in another part of the sub, Phantom gripped Manaphy tightly in his hands, "haha finally the prince of the sea is mine; now Manaphy I will place this tracking device on you and will lead me and the princess of the sea to the sea temple, if you don't the princess and her little friend and Pokémon will get hurt!" Phantom chuckled as he looked towards a cage that held Pikachu and Ash and Misty's bags which had their Pokémon inside.

"Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu growled from the cage.

"Quiet you little rat!" Phantom glared at Pikachu.

Manaphy was crying but had settled down once Pikachu had talked to it, Manaphy had agreed to take the tracker device. "Perfect!" Phantom grinned.
