Chapter 10- Legendary Legend
"So how far is it now?" Asked Drew impatiently.
May looked amused, "i'm the one who usually asks that.."
"Well this time I asked, is there anything wrong?" Drew smirked slightly.
"I don't mind you asking, it saves my breath." May grinned.
Drew sighed.
"Almost there" Brock answered Drew's earlier question.
"Is that it?" Paul asked craning his neck to look at something ahead.
Ash also craned his neck trying to look, "Looks like it."
"Yup" Misty confirmed as she saw a sign appear up ahead.
They reached the small town called Abbey Town. It was small and quiet. A slight breeze blew here and there and the place seemed deserted. Too deserted actually. There was not a soul in sight outside even though the weather was quite nice. Our little group headed to the Pokemon center to refresh themselves a little before turning up at Prof Pines and to let their Pokemon rest a little and also to get directions to Prof Pines lab.
They reached the Pokemon center.
"Hello? Nurse Joy?" Brock called. This place seemed deserted too.
"Nobody seems to be here" said Paul, voicing everybody's thoughts.
"Nurse Joy? Chansey?" Brock tried again.
"Maybe they are in the emergency room?" May suggested.
"Possible." Drew agreed.
"Yes, anybody called?" A young woman of about 23 walked into the room taking off a white apron from over her pink frock and straightened her pink hair and the hat that had the red cross that told the others she was the Nurse Joy of this Pokemon center.
"Nurse Joy when I hear that melodious voice my heart starts to beat double.." Brock started, "OWW! OWW! Not the EAR!" Misty as usual pulling him away with a "Cool off lover boy!" ((A/N- Some things never change whatever you do! =P ))
"Nurse Joy we just need you to heal our Pokemon and give us directions to Prof Pines Lab please?" Ash asked not seeming at all bothered by Brock and Misty.
"Sure." Nurse Joy answered, "Just give me your Pokemon." She bustled around getting the healing equipment on. "To get to Prof Pines Lab you have to just go down the road then turn to the left then the first right then the second left and it will be the big mansion at the end of the road." Nurse Joy gave directions while healing their Pokemon.
"Err..." May hesitated, "Did anybody get all that?"
"Yes 'miss late to understand' I did" Drew teased May.
May grinned, "What happened? That was the lamest name you came up for me yet?"
Drew smirked, "Just testing you."
May nodded as if she understood then she understood fully what he had said and pounced on him in playful anger.
Drew just caught her, "It wont be so easy to hurt me you know.."
May got off him and punched him on his hand. Drew just smirked.
Drew and May both suddenly turned around to see the others, Misty had her elbow on Ash's shoulder and was looking at him as if what they were doing was as interesting as a circus, Ash was grinning at them, Brock Smiling at them and Paul was watching them and almost- I said almost smirking. All of them looked like they were watching the clown perform in a circus.
Drew flicked his hair "What?"
May blushed, luckily Nurse Joy came to her rescue.
"Your Pokemon are fully healed. Please take care." Nurse Joy smiled.
"Thank you!" Everyone chorused.
They walked out of the Pokemon center and followed the direction nurse joy told them and sure enough they reached Prof Pines lab or mansion as she had said.
They walked up to the door and knocked. Dawn opened the door after a minute or so.
"Hi!" Dawn squealed and threw herself on Paul who happened to be the first person in front. She realized what she had done and blushed pulling back quickly. "Sorry.." she mumbled. To her surprise and delight Paul actually hugged her back. Dawn smiled.
May and Misty also came up and hugged her and they all started moving inside.
"We were worried." May said.
"Where is Brock?" Ash asked though he wasn't worried about the older boy who could look after himself.
"He's gone out for a walk." Dawn informed them.
"He left you alone?" Paul frowned.
"He went to town to check out what is going on around here because Prof Pine wont even notice we are there once he got started on that idea I think you gave him on the phone." She said cheerfully.
"Why dint you go with him?" Misty asked curiously.
"I sat down in the drawing room trying to find a 'legend' about this place which is all we got out of Prof Pine before he started work on that thingy of his." Dawn sighed.
"Looks like you weren't having a good time judging by the way you flung yourself on Paul." Drew grinned mischievously obviously trying to get two two together.
Dawn blushed, "I was just glad to see you guyz and Paul was standing in the front so..." she tried to shrug it off lightly, nobody except Paul bought her story. Paul felt kind of disappointed though.
By this time they were about to reach the main lab area.
"Where are we going?" Drew asked.
"To the place where I left the laptop. I still need to find that legend Prof Pine was talking about." Dawn answered.
When they walked into the main lab Drew exclaimed out loud at what he saw. "WOW! Impossible!"
"What?" May asked curiously.
"There are Pokemon cloning machines over here!" Drew explained.
"What?" May, Paul and Dawn exclaimed.
"I saw them before but dint know what they were." Dawn added.
Ash nodded, "Remember the ones Mew Two used?"
Pikachu and Misty nodded but May and Dawn looked confused.
"It was in one of the adventures when Ash Brock and I traveled together." Misty explained.
May and Dawn nodded.
They reached the area where Dawn had left the laptop and she ran over to it and sat down. As soon as she saw the screen her eyes widened. The others dint notice this immediately, they were too busy taking in their surroundings.
Eventually Paul noticed her face as Dawn went pale and her eyes scanned the page quickly again and again.
"Whats wrong troublesome?" Paul asked, concerned but not showing it.
For once Dawn dint notice what he called her, "Come here!" She managed to shy in a husky voice unlike her own and all of the others came rushing beside her trying to look at what was on the screen that was scaring Dawn so much.
Everybody pushed and jostled and the laptop was about to fall off and did fall off but hovered for a moment before Dawn caught it. She was the only one who noticed it hover a little.
'Whew! That was close these humans are so stupid they almost lost their most important clue, I dint want to have to do that but if I didn't then our plans would have had a drastic change but I think the blunette noticed.' the Figure 2 from last chapter sighed.
Dawn snapped out of her dilemma and shirked, "STAND BACK! I WILL READ IT OUT!"
Nobody listened to her. Pikachu suddenly let out a thundershock as he was being pressed by Ash ans Misty. Everybody immediately stopped fighting and fell down all of them burnt black. They then got up dusted themselves off and stood waiting for Dawn to speak.
"Okay...so its the legend of this region or that's what the heading states. Before I read out the actual thing I want to tell you that I dint open this, it was there when I came back now and it wasn't there before and I dint even press anything that made it pop up. This was just there in the word document when I opened the laptop I have no clue weather its real." Dawn started. She paused for breath.
"Go on!" Ash said impatiently.
"I am." Dawn replied. "So.. I'll just read it out from the starting." she paused again and took a deep breath. "Silver Legend- The said to be true legend of the silver region-
Open shall space and time,
And the mirror that should not shine,
Ultimate one if thus comes alive,
Nobody on earth will survive.
Four couples are thus made to meet,
To perform a very difficult feat,
If they manage to stop this dreadful energy,
They and their true loves will be free.
Called they are to this region from a-far,
Use they must the sacred ancient tower,
The right melody they must choose,
Otherwise the battle they will all loose.
Love they must the other more,
True love is needed to open the door,
Aim to save their partners they should,
Otherwise the earth will be gone for good."
Dawn stopped and in the silence that followed she noted everybody's reactions.
Paul looks stunned, which is very unusual for him. Drew looks thoughtful, May looks -no correct that- IS terrified, look at the way she is clutching Drew's hand. Misty looks disbelieving and Ash looks... as if he has already accepted the legend and the challenge that it posted. Dawn noted.
In the dead silence that followed, Brock's voice was heard, "What was that?"
Dawn sighed, "Did you hear all of it?"
Brock nodded, "Only the verses not what it was but seems to me like the silver region legend but I was just confirming."
Dawn nodded, "It is.."
Everybody slowly snapped out of their shock...
"I have some information for you too, but first Dawn, answer some of my questions..." Brock asked.
Dawn looked at him expectantly, "Fine but I can't wait for your information!"
"Where did you find it? We need to find out if its a reliable source or not to believe its true." Brock asked.
"It just popped up when I started the laptop in this word document." Dawn answered showing Brock the actual thing.
Brock frowned, "Something this serious cant just pop up out of nowhere. You must have clicked something somewhere remember!"
Dawn frowned "I dint open it, don't you believe me?"
Paul nodded and spoke in a low voice "I believe you." Dawn flashed him a grateful smile.
Brock appeared to be deep in thought, "Maybe its some kind of a sign..." he muttered.
Dawn looked thoughtful too, "Possible"
Drew spoke, "It could be someone is trying to warn us about it. Couldn't it?"
'Ding-Dong that Grass-head IS clever he seems to have the best brain!' Figure 2 thought.
"That's more than likely." May nodded.
"But who?" Ash asked. 'Pika-pi?' Pikachu was confused as well.
"And why? This couldn't refer to us could it? We are only 3 couples here unless Brock has a STEADY girlfriend?" Misty turned to said boy after saying this.
Brock shook his head, "You think I would?"
Misty laughed, "I highly doubted it the way you went after nurse joy!"
"Jokes aside lets get back to the job at hand." Paul snapped.
"It refers to you, that is why it is sent to us." Brock mused. "The lady also said something similar.."
"Huh?" Everybody turned to face him.
Brock sweatdropped, "Right, I still got to tell you guys about that."
