Yay for me on chapter 20, not a good accomplishment though. Well this one will be from someone else's perspective as Jason can no longer control himself. It's pretty obvious who's it is. I found my pokemon emerald which I haven't mentioned I lost. I've already fixed the chapters up a little, not much though. You don't have to go back and see the changes if you don't want to. By the time you have read this I will have already revised the chapters that needed it. Anyway enjoy.


Chapter 20: Starting The Rush

This bright white room is really hurting my eyes. If I ever see that woman again I'll kill her despite the consequences. I don't care If I go to jail, what she did to him was inexcusable. My injuries don't matter, but what they could be doing to him right now. How could I have let them take him? If I wasn't hospitalized I would hunt them down now. Three broken ribs and a large healing gash across my chest. It's been a week since they took him. I felt so weak not to be able to do anything about it. The very thought of that fucking bitch pisses me off to no end. Even being surrounded by all my pokemon doesn't calm me down. I know they're all worried, I'm glad they care, but even that won't calm me down.

"You need to calm down. What happened, happened. There's nothing we can do about that."

"So we're supposed to just sit around and do nothing?!"

"What else can we do?! They already have him. Three of your ribs are broken and you're wrapped in bandages. It's a wonder you weren't killed. You are human, we are not made to survive such attacks like that. Just because we wear insulated clothing does not mean that we can take an attack of that force head on. I don't care if you were trying to save her life, she would have had a better chance surviving than you. In fact she would have been able to continue fighting."

"I know...but what was I as a trainer supposed to do? Just stand there and let them hurt our pokemon? I feel useless enough during normal battles, I didn't want to let them be hurt. They would do the same for us so why shouldn't we for them?"

"You have to understand that taking risks like that are best avoided."

"So you'd just stand there and watch it happen?"

"No I would have done the same thing..."

"So why are you lecturing me on something you would have done yourself?" I asked, ending this conversation. He looked at the floor. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV located on the wall in front of my bed.

This just in coming to you live from the channel 5 helicopter flying over Mauville. Anna how are things there? A woman appeared on the screen.

This is insane! The camera shifted to show the ground. There was a pink orb flying around dodging several blue ones being fired at it.

There seems to be an intense battle going on, between which two pokemon we have not confirmed yet but a battle of this magnitude could cause some major damage to the city of Mauville. The camera zoomed in on the source of the blue orbs. The dark figure running around firing what looked like Aura Spheres at the pink orb. On closer inspection the figure looked familiar. No way...that can't be him.

"Blake you might want to look at this." He looked at the screen and his jaw dropped.

"Is that...is that him?" He asked.

"I-I think so..." I tried to sit up. My chest felt like it burst into flames as I struggled. Can't let that stop me.

"You aren't thinking about going to Mauville are you?"

"What else am I supposed to do?!"

"You're in no shape to be doing ANYTHING! A week may have passed since you were hurt, but that's not nearly enough time before you're able to be active."

"And you're going to stop me?" I asked

"...No...but the hospital staff will." His answer was the truth...more like they will try.

"I have a way around that."

"You're going to break out of a hospital? I don't know if that makes you a bad person or not."

I recalled all of my pokemon except my zangoose. She was my ticket out.

"We're leaving." I told her. The expression on her face showed she would have questioned me. Too bad she can't talk to me like I can to her. "Don't give me that look. You're going to carry me out of this hospital." Whatever she said after I told her that I didn't understand, but my guess is that it had something to do with my current condition.

Now it's firing at us! We all turned to the TV the moment this was said. The dark figure that I assumed was Jason, was now firing at the helicopter.

Pilot get us out of here! Right after she said that, they were hit. The screen turned to static for a few seconds before switching back to the original host.

"We have to stop him before he gets himself killed!" I don't know what he absorbed to make him strong enough to take down a helicopter but whatever it was, it's going to wear off eventually and when it does...

"How are we supposed to get there in time?"

"I don't know, but we won't know unless we try." I turned to my zangoose. "If you won't carry me then I'll just have to run there, and in my current condition..." Guilt, it always works.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Blake asked.

"If we don't who will? Help me onto her back." Won't get into detail as to why it took a few minutes to do this.

"Now reach into the left pocket of my bag." Blake did as told. He pulled out a blue syringe.

"X-Speed?"

"Yep, never thought I'd use one of them." The look in my zangoose's eye clearly said "X-Speed?" Blake gave me the syringe, took my bag, and then stepped over to the window and opened it. He then released his Flygon outside of the window. X-Speed triples a pokemon's speed and works like steroids for humans. It also increases their stamina extraordinarily, but once it wears off the user will be depleted of strength and will have to rest.

"See you on the way there." He jumped out the window.

"Alright time for us to go." She walked over to the door. I opened it since she was unable to. My doctor was right at the door.

"Wh-What are you doing?" She asked.

"We're leaving." I answered.

"You can't leave, you're still hurt!"

"I have to go!"

"But your ribs..."

"We'll use force if we have to." I stared directly into her eyes.

"You're going to Mauville aren't you." How did she know?

"Y-Yeah, you saw the news?"

"Yes, you must have family out there. If you're that determined to see them then I won't stop you. Elevators are down the left hall, through the double doors to the right past room 518. Entrance is to the right once you get to the 1st floor" She moved out of our way. Why can't more people be like her?

"Thanks. Lets go!" We started down the left hallway which was very much empty. Either this floor was empty of patients or all the doctors were treating someone else. We reached the double doors which were electronically locked, luckily the person behind the counter wasn't really paying attention and opened them anyway. The elevators were a little down this next hallway, there was a large window facing them. Just as I pressed the down button Blake flew by the window. If only I wasn't afraid of heights.

"Come on, come on, come on!" I was always impatient when waiting for an elevator. They always seemed to go slower for me when I was alone than when someone else has pressed the button. The door opened and she stepped in. After pressing the 1st floor button and moving down a few floors, the elevator stopped. Just as the doors opened wide enough she burst forward full speed, running past anyone who happened to be there. Someone who was standing by the entrance opened the doors and allowed us though so we didn't lose any speed. We weren't the only ones leaving, there were a few trainers and adults on their way to Mauville. So first we've got to make our way down Route 112, the short way. As we were going down the large hill on Route 112 someone rode next to us on a bike.

"You on your way to Mauville too?" He asked.

"Yeah. You heard the news?"

"I want to see this battle for myself. Not so often you get to see two legendary pokemon fight." Two legendary pokemon? One of them is surely Jason, but the other...I really don't know what the other one was.

"What makes you think they are legendary pokemon?"

"There are no normal pokemon out there with that much power. I want to catch one of them if I can." Shit this guy just wants them for his self. If he's thinking that way then what about the other people on their way there?

I took the syringe I was holding and injected it into my zangoose's arm hoping to have hit a blood vessel. She dropped on all fours and began running at a speed I've only seen her reach in short bursts like when using Quick Attack. My chest hurt more and more as she ran. I looked into the sky and thought, Blake, you better get there in time...


As you can see, Claus and Blake now have to race several other people to reach Jason and save him from publicity and being killed by the police, but once they get there what will they do? How can they stop him? Will they be able to stop him? And if they do, what will they do about the police and the people who find out that he's owned by Claus?

Review and let me know what you think.
