Wow, 5 chapters left! Oh, and last chapter I called Nate, Jude. Man, I'm such a moron. Don't even ask me how I got those names mixed up, so thanks to LuvAllPokemon for mentioning that to me. If you check now it'll say Nate because I fixed it, so sorry if I confused anyone…


Chapter 45

Ash's POV

I woke up groggily. I could faintly hear someone yelling my name, probably to wake me up, but before I could get up a bucket of ice cold water splashed my face!

"I'm awake!" I jumped up from my bed, but my head collided with…Gary's.

"Why did I get stuck with waking you up?" Gary growled. I grabbed my towel from my dresser –yes, I get soaked, a lot- and dried my hair. I got out of the tent with my Pikachu in tow.

"So buddy, how'd it go with the love stuff?" I asked. I wasn't really quite sure what love was, but if Pikachu knew then I wasn't going to stop him.

"Pi…" Pikachu sighed and left an awkward silence. Together we walked through the damp grass to grab a 'light' breakfast. I decided to interrupt the dead silence,

"What kind of Pokémon food do you want, buddy? There's oran, pecha, nanab, bluk, aspear…" I listed the flavors of food. Pikachu indicated to the oran and sitrus flavored food. I grabbed half a cup of oran and half a cup of sitrus and mixed the brown colored cylinders. I handed a small bowl, much like a dog's to Pikachu.

I grabbed a plate of pancakes, bacon, sandwiches, and an energy bar. I did say light, right? What's more light than an energy bar? I was done in 5 minutes, but Pikachu wanted to thoroughly chew his food, so I was out in half an hour. I don't know why, but Pikachu made sure every piece had ketchup on it.

"Now that I have you, we're going to finish our tasks even sooner!" I cheered. The yellow mouse's red cheeks sparked in agreement.

"We've completed one task and that's getting Cerberus's whisker and we have five tasks, so we have…" I started using my fingers, but Pikachu helped me with four fingers, 3 on one hand and 1 on the other.

"Oh, right! We've got four left! Next, is going through the Labyrinth! This is going to be an awesome adventure!" I said. Together Pikachu and I walked to the exit of the demigod base. All the guys were there, but I didn't see any of the girls.

"Where are the girls?" I asked.

"No idea. I think they're helping Dawn carry her useless crap." Paul answered. Wow, if I said that I would've been buried alive by those girls. A brunette girl with pale skin came up to us. I think it was Kane's daughter or something. Wasn't she that girl that was ignored by everyone? I wonder why.

"Would you guys mind if I tagged along?" She asked nervously.

"Who were you again?" Paul asked. She flushed immediately.

"I'm Felicity Kane, but if you called me Fliss, that'd be great." She looked down at the ground.

"Go for it, it's not like, we haven't already gotten two extra people." Drew said referring to Lisa and Simon, I think.

"Wow, thanks!" Fliss clasped her hands together and grinned.

"No problem, a reward would be fine like, a hug." Gary held his arms out, but Felicity didn't open hers.

"That's not very nice; you have a girlfriend named Leaf." Fliss answered.

"It's just a hug." Gary rolled his eyes, "See, I'll hug Ashy-boy right now." Gary came over to me and gave me a man hug. You know those ones for guys.

"See?" Gary said releasing me.

"Don't try to molest her, sheesh." Paul scoffed. I don't know what molest means, but I'm guessing it was something bad because Felicity blushed and Gary as well.

"Guys, Lisa's missing!" Dawn yelled coming up to us.

"Call her. Don't make me go deaf." Paul grunted.

"I don't have her number." Dawn said shyly.

"Then who does?" Drew asked. Dawn shrugged.

"I don't even know if she has a phone." Dawn admitted. I heard Paul scoff.

"What about the others? Are they looking for her?" Gary interjected.

"Yeah, so as long as we find her there's no need to worry." Dawn said brightly.

"Man, it's like this camp doesn't want us to leave." Gary cursed under his breath. We split into groups. I was with Gary, my childhood rival. Paul was with Drew and Dawn was with Fliss.

Hm, if I were Lisa where would I be? The bathroom? I went to go check the bathroom.

"What are you doing? Why would she be in the men's bathroom?" Gary sighed. Oh, right! Lisa was a girl, but I can't check in the girl's bathroom.

"I forgot she was a girl." I said sheepishly.


Lisa's POV

You know I typically would just kick my kidnapper in the groin, but since it was a white haired kid I had to think of something a little worse. Why? Well, after I regained my consciousness I saw him turn into Nate. That little piece of crap!

I haven't got the slightest clue to how he shapes shifts, but this ugly white haired kid did. Now, if only I knew whether he really was a guy or not…

For all I know, he might be a she that likes the forms of guys better. I wouldn't blame her/him because periods, pregnancies, girl drama, and you're more likely to get kidnapped/raped, no thank you! I know I'm supposed to think that girls are superior and blah, blah, blah, but I'm honestly not into that whole sexist crap.

Anyway, this white haired kid looked like he was about my age and what was up with those red eyes? Is he supposed to be some kind of human rabbit? Wait; if I look a little closer his hair is actually a white hat! Okay, I should probably focus on my kidnapping situation, but seriously this kid is capital U-G-L-Y!

Well, I was in the back of a black pickup truck and my hands were bound behind my back with thick ugly ropes that could cause third degree burns! My mouth was taped with duct tape –how cliché can you get? And my feet were bound with the same hideous ropes. The only other thing in the truck was this sack of stuff; at least I think it's filled with stuff. It was quite lumpy.

What else could be inside? Liquid? Gas? Plasma? Well, I guess you could put liquid in it, but it was one of those old fashioned potato sacks, so unless you want a smelly, squishy sack, then I suggest put something solid in. I inched closer, worm-style, which was totally not worth it.

Not only was it painful, but inside were ironically potatoes. Okay, I admit I was totally craving some French fries, but I preferred the cooked version and not the premade ones.

"Help!" I screamed, but it came out as, "Mmm!"

I saw the white haired kid jump. I guess he still thought I was out cold like, those potatoes.

"Shut up! I thought I hit you hard enough to put you out for a week!" The ugly guy replied. I tried to sigh, but couldn't because of the annoying tape bounding my mouth. I remembered my wings and absorbed them back through my skin. It wasn't actually as gross as I thought because all it looked like was that my wings were disappearing through my skin.

Phew, what a relief! Those things got heavy and annoying. Oh, and a shower would be nice right now because I'm in the back of a gross pickup truck! The only relieving this was that it was fall and not summer, so not sweating to death was pretty nice. I tried to reach for one of my Pokémon, oh wait, I can't!

My freaking hands are freaking banded by some freaking ropes that are freaking butt ugly! I know that most people would be scared when they're kidnapped, but the only feeling I felt was irked. If I could only get one of my Pokémon…

An idea struck my already too dense for my liking head. My Meganium absolutely loathed Poke Balls and that's just how I plan on getting my precious fully evolved Pokémon out. My Meganium simply adores flowers and jelly beans, but I currently didn't have any of those items…

I thought about the others, Espeon, Milotic, Torchic, Togetic, and Gardevoir-currently at school. Espeon's too loyal to disobey me by getting out of her Poke Ball, Milotic's too large, Torchic's too young, but Togetic might have some potential.

"Togetic, if you can hear me then please come out and untie me," but of course it came out as, "Mmf mm uuuhhh guuuh…" So to be frank I sounded like, a constipated mummy. I groaned; the only way I could even try to lure my Pokémon out would be to get the tape off of my mouth.

"Would you be quiet back there?" The white haired ugly complained. I also heard him use some vulgar words that I would've never said, no matter how angry. I'm actually not quite sure why I hated swearing so much, maybe it's because I was raised with manners unlike someone I knew driving a pickup truck…

I kicked the potato sack out of boredom, but let's just say I was tempted to say those so-called vulgar words because those were not normal potatoes. They were hard as rocks! Why in the world would you want rock potatoes?

My right foot was throbbing underneath my worn out black converse. Why not my left foot? Oh, that's right because I thought I was kicking some normal potatoes! Thanks a lot ugly!

I decided to ignore my throbbing pain by watching the scenery of trees, rocks, wild flowers, moss, and enjoying the fresh forest air. Yep, I can still feel the pain. I decided to annoy the crap out of Mr. Possible Rapist by making the loudest sounds possible.

"MMMMM! EEEEEEE!" I may have started screaming.

"Would you shut up!" The white haired guy yelled once again. I continued my muffled out screams until he got so frustrated and screeched the rusty, black pickup truck to a halt.

"That's it! I'm coming back there!" The white capped guy went to the back and ripped the duct tape off my face. Sweet freedom and so I decided one last scream would do.

"HOLY, CRAP! DID YOU KNOW THOSE POTATOES ARE NOT FREAKING SOFT! I'M IN SO MUCH FREAKING PAIN!" I yelled as soon as he got near enough for me to scream into his ear. He covered his ear.

"I think I'm going to go deaf." White haired guy said. Good, that's what you get for kidnapping me, moron!

"Let me go!" I screeched.

"It's my job! Why can't you just obediently get kidnapped?" He groaned.

"That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard!" I rolled my eyes. When a bright light flashed out an Espeon I cheered. My darling Pokémon ripped my ropes with her sharp, fang-like teeth. I guess I was wrong about Espeon being too loyal…

Or maybe she finally sensed my danger. "Go, Swampert!" Ugly released a huge cobalt Pokémon with three-fingered palms, small pointed protrusions from its upper jaw, two orange gills on the side, two large black fins that looked like it was growing out of its eyes, and a black tail fin that was in a half-circle shape.

The Swampert striked a menacing pose. "Use hydro pump!" White hair said. The large Pokémon shot a large beam of water toward Espeon, but also toward the truck.

"Dodge." I shrugged and let the hydro pump flip the truck sideways as well as leaving a large dent on the side.

"Crap, my boss is going to kill me! That's the second one this month!" White hair said some more vulgar words. Hm, looks like he wasn't raised with very many manners.

"Espeon, please use psychic." Espeon's eyes glowed blue and Swampert started glowing pink. Swampert was lifted up and then smashed to the ground.

"Swampert, use earthquake!" White hair commanded. Swampert got up and started to make the ground shake.

"Espeon, use dodge technique #2." I said. Espeon bounced on her tail and then proceeded to use psychic to stay up. If you haven't figured my signature Espeon move is psychic then you might want to go back to Trainers School.

"Swampert, uppercut it with hammer arm!" Swampert's arm started to glow and uppercut Espeon out of the air. Espeon regained her composure as if nothing happened. Fighting types aren't good against psychic, duh!

"Espeon, use psybeam and then use psychic." I ordered. Espeon emitted a rainbow colored swirling beam and then used psychic to make them into sphere shaped pieces that surrounded Swampert. The spheres proceeded to smash into the poor Swampert's exterior.

White haired kid used some more of those cusses, "Swampert, get up and use hydro cannon!"

The strongest water type attack, I see. He just wants to finish me off now, but I think it's going to be the other way around because he's only damaged my Espeon with one attack and I've hit him a multiple of times.

"Okay, use dig and then hyper beam." I said. I had exchanged my swift for dig. Espeon dug a hole as the hydro cannon missed and Espeon emerged from the ground using hyper beam. The poor Swampert took the full blow and collapsed onto the ground with swirled eyes.

"Return." White haired guy took out his Poke Ball and returned to Pokémon. I saw this as an opportunity and took his arms behind his back. Did he actually expect me to lose? I thought of an ironic idea. I made sure he could wiggle his way out and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Memory loss has never been so sweet.

Now, he won't remember a thing. White hair gave a puzzled expression, much like a baby's. "There, now you won't kidnap more people." I smiled. I took one last look at the rock potatoes, scowled, and left with a permanent amnesic guy trailed behind me.

"Espeon, do you want to stay out here or do you want to rest?" I asked. Espeon nudged her nose on the Poke Ball and returned herself. Great, now I was stuck by myself with another guy with poo brain. I sent out Torchic.

"Tor?" She chirped when there was nothing to battle.

"You're just going to help keep me company today." I explained. I hoisted her up into my arms. Dang, she was warm! I trudged my way back to camp, which took me until morning! A truck could really drive you places! White hair's just lucky I could remember where the camp was or else he would've gotten a punishment a hundred times worse than just permanent amnesia.

When a random someone tackled me to the ground I moaned in pain. I looked over and saw May…

"I found you!" May cheered.

"Get off of me before I collapse from the pain." I groaned. May got off me and tried to find where I'd been injured. She wasn't going to find it until I actually take off my shoe.

"I injured my foot if that's what you're wondering." I answered.

"What happened to you?" May asked.

"Well, I was kidnapped by this ugly white haired kid, but I took care of it. He's suffering from the permanent amnesia." I explained, but when I looked back to see if he was still there, he wasn't.


You know guys, I think I'm getting good at being late to update because it seems as though even during summer I update a few days later, but with only 5 chapters left what could go wrong? Oh, and if you haven't figured out that the ugly kid Lisa's referring to is Brendan, then you might want to go back to Trainers School like. REVIEW!
