Chapter five: Loss and Reunion.
After he left Aqua, Mickey and Riku, Axel decided that he no longer had any desires to be in this place, and since Castle Oblivion is like a giant maze, he couldn't find either the two 'guests' who came here earlier, or even what the Superior was looking for. The next thing to do was to make his report, report it to Saix, and then he can finally go home.
He was walking through the halls which, though it didn't seem like it, were a total wreck and a hellva mess done by Aqua's group.
"All righty then. Guess I'd better get my report together." Axel grumbled, "Man, what a pain." as he looked around the mess and damaged parts.
"Castle Oblivion...was completely destroyed by two unknown attackers, as well as Riku, the King and the new female Keyblade wielder. As for the Organization...I was the only survivor." Axel practiced his lines to write his report, though he could hear the commotion above him and the battle that was going on. "Or soon will be."
Sighing and deciding to make sure that he would be the only one, Axel muttered to himself, "Man, I wanna get back and have some ice cream." before wondering if Roxas would still be at the Clock Tower after each of his own missions.
As soon as the trio found Maluxia on the next floor, they quickly fought as they didn't have any room to talk, and Aqua wouldn't allow the Nobody to trick her or her friends. They fought long and hard, but half-way during the battle, however, just as Marluxia was about to strike again, he was sudden struck from behind, and he froze in shock at the unexpected attack, which Aqua, Mickey and Riku were all stunned on what just happened.
"You do not exist, Nobody." a voice that Riku recongised spoke, and the silver-haired teen gasped.
DiZ was standing behind the now fading Marluxia, his hand stretched out as he had hit the Nobody with a powerful source of Darkness. Marluxia had no words, as he just collasped but vanished before he even hit the floor. Aqua, Mickey and Riku were horrified at the display of darkness, before glaring up at DiZ who smirked evilly.
"Now that he's out of the way, I shall have my puppet." DiZ announced, offering his hand to Riku, saying, "Come, Riku. Your only purpose is to serve me."
"No." Riku shook his head, "What makes you think I'll join you?" getting into a fighting stance.
Mickey's eyes furrowed as he gazed at DiZ. He felt that the man in red looked familiar, but at the same time, there was a terrible darkness that was inside him that made the king mentally shudder. "What do you want with Riku?" he quired.
"I would need him to finish off Organization XIII and to find Sora." DiZ answered. "Once they left their home, their only purpose was to serve the Worlds and protect them, driving away any threat."
"So you think that Sora and Riku don't have a choice even if they would want to go home?" Aqua demanded, joining Riku and Mickey into defence and fighting stance. The darkness inside this man...it felt so horribly familiar. "Who are you?" she asked.
DiZ stood tall, losing his smirk. "I am the servant of the Worlds. All those who protected them are no more than tools, mistakenly given hearts."
"You're wrong!" Mickey cried out, feeling angry, "It's the darkness inside you that's makin' you try and hurt our friends. I'm not sure what kind of darkness, but you don't want to save the worlds! We won't let you take away our friends!"
"Then you leave me with no choice." DiZ stretched out his hand again and a gust of wind bursted out. It was so strong that Aqua, Mickey and Riku, who had dealt with other powerful gusts during their journey in Castle Oblivion, couldn't even block this gust of wind and were easily blown and thrown like rag dolls before they all landed hard on the floor, quickly worn out as their weapons desummoned themselves.
As Aqua painfully tried to get up, DiZ was slowly approaching her and the other two who were also having difficulty in getting up. She desperately tried, but she was quickly exhausted to the point of shutting her eyes and prayed that something would happen. She failed again.
"NO!" Another familiar voice shouted, and when Aqua opened her eyes, she gasped in disbelief, as did Mickey and Riku who was twice as shocked as Aqua. Standing in front of them was a familiar young man with brown hair, and a familiar Keyblade.
Terra.
"You...!" DiZ growled at the sighto of the younger man.
"Terra...Terra it's you!" Aqua muttered in relief and disbelief. The last time she ever saw her friend...but how did he return to normal? He looked the same as she last saw him in the Keyblade Graveyard ten years ago.
Terra, who wanted to turn around and greet his friend, knew that there was no time. He knew what he had to do to keep her and Ven safe. He didn't know where Ven was, but he had a feeling that the blond was safe for now. Aiming his Keyblade behind him and over Aqua, Mickey and Riku who looked surprised and confused.
"Terra?" Aqua asked, uncertainly.
"Aqua...Riku...I'm sorry. It's the only way." Terra muttered, as he summoned a portal behind the trio who suddenly knew what he was doing; He was going to sacrifice himself to by them time to escape DiZ.
"Terra, no!" Aqua screamed, as she, Riku who also tried to stay but he was already sucked in, long with Mickey who screamed, and Aqua cried out, "I'm not-I'm not losing you again!"
But it was too late. She too was swallowed up by the portal and Aqua gave out a final scream of pleading before the portal closed, and Terra was left behind with DiZ who smirked evilly. Just as Terra turned back, DiZ quickly used his dark powers and Terra was instantly frozen, causing him to drop his Keyblade.
"Can't move!" Terra grunted.
DiZ walked up to the trapped Keyblade wielder and inched close to his face, whispering, "You'll do for now. Until I can get Riku and Sora." before he teleported himself and the frozen Terra through darkness and out of Castle Oblivion.
Inside the Chamber of Waking, the comatose Ven who was still asleep and his body still the same as ten years ago, with his eyes closed, shed tears as he sensed what happened.
Meanwhile, back with Sora's group...
It took about three hours to make the raft and get supplies, but finally..."Finished!" Sora exclaimed happily. The raft was complete. The sheet would be used as a sail, hand-made boxes filled with supplies, and Donald provided magical bottles holding fresh spring water and more boxes with with fruit.
"Wow, the raft looks amazing." Namine admitted. She felt a bit more free, having to help out her new friends, and being able to be outside more than when she was born.
"I guess that means we're ready to sail." Goofy thought happily.
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Let's get sailing!" Donald declared.
"Hold on a sec." Sora told them, "Our Raft needs a name first." causing the others to look at him, with questionable looks, causing him to sweatdrop and shrug, "Or not."
After an hour break, the group pushed the raft into the water and climbed on before it could float away without them, and with that, with hand-made oars, the group of five set sail towards their next adventure in hopes of finding Riku and the King and return home, and welcoming Namine to Destiny Islands.
It was an hour after Aqua, Mickey and Riku found themselves in a grassy field as they made it out of the portal, but while they were relieved that they were out of Castle Oblivion, they were upset as Terra had sacrificed himself to save them.
They managed to recover from their injuries, but as they stopped for a rest, they couldn't help but feel guilty for the loss of Aqua's friend.
"Aqua? Are you okay?" Mickey asked, worriedly. He couldn't blame her for what's happened. He'd be feeling like how Aqua's feeling right now if anything happened to Donald or Goofy.
But the blue-haired woman didn't answer. She hasn't even talked for the past hour. Finally, she muttered, "I...need some time alone." and walked off ahead of the other two.
Sighing as he watched poor Aqua walk off for a while, Mickey looked at Riku and asked, "How about you, Riku? Are you going home?"
"I don't know." Riku admitted as he sat on the rock where he rested. "I can't feel Ansem like I had before, but, there's still that darkness that DiZ forced within me. How can I face Sora, Kairi or everyone back at home like this?"
For once Mickey didn't know the answer, and repeating what he said earlier problably would make things worse, so, he just sighed, and muttered, "We'll work something out. We should rest first."
As Aqua paused on the path that lead on miles and miles of more field, she finally broke down into tears and buried her face in her palms and cried. She felt so lost despite having finally made it back into the Realm of Light. Maybe she should've just statyed in the Dark Realm and be lost in the darkness. All her dreams back years ago were for nothing.
'...I don't even deserve the title of Master at all.' Aqua thought miserably. 'I just...I just want Terra, Ven and the Master back.' as she continued to cry.
Back with Roxas...
When he learned about Castle Oblivion being destroyed and that there were no suvivors, Roxas was in shock and disbelief that Axel, his friend, was gone, never to be seen again. The Dusks made the report on the notice. Roxas was so shocked and upset that during a mission with Xigbar in Agrabah that Roxas couldn't think straight, and finally, he collasped as something happened.
Xion, who returned from her mission on that same day, noticed Lord Xemnas leaving Roxas's room, and when she took a peak, she was shocked on not only finding her new friend in comatose, but with ink on his face and pink bows in his hair.
"Roxas!?" She softly exclaimed.
"So Lord Xemnas drew all over Roxas's face?" Xigbar asked, grinning as he drank coffee. "As if. It was totally the Dusks." knowing all too well on how the useless Dusks would do childish jokes on anyone.
Xion, who was with Xigbar, Demyx(who again was playing on his siter), Luxord and Xaldin, muttered, "I was sure it was Xemnas who drew on Roxas's face." much to the others's amusement.
"Ha! That'd be awesome!" Demyx bursted out laughing, as Luxord also bursted into laughter.
Despite this, Xion continued to worry, and the next day, she found that it got worse, and so she decided to clean up the mess so that Xemnas wouldn't notice, though Demyx warned her that the Dusks would keep doing it.
The next day after that, Xion saw that the Dusks had done it again and she screamed out in disbelief and desperation, while Demyx, who again joined her, muttered in a understanding but knowing tone, "Told ya."
After that the next day, Saix found them in Roxas's room and gave Demyx an ear-pulling lecture(which is really funny) while sending Xion off on her next mission, though he was probably unaware on how stupid the Dusks were at this stage.
In the meantime, Xion, finding herself on a beautiful world with a beach and sea shells, brought one each to Roxas in hopes that he would eventually wake up.
"Ven...Ventus!...I know it's a only place, but you'll be safe...Terra and I will be back before you know it...Ven...I'm sorry...one day...you will waken again...I'll come back someday...I promise...Ven..."
"Sora!...I know you will come back! And make sure to bring my lucky charm to me! Sora...!"
Ven? Sora? No. My name is...
Roxas opened his eyes, tiredly as he wondered what happened. He was surrounded by sea shells on his bed, but he felt groggy in the head, and starving. Still, he couldn't believe that Axel was gone.
Despite that Xion was relieved that Roxas was awake again and told him what happened as he was passed out for three weeks, Roxas was still sad that he would never see Axel again and Xigbar told him, "No use in crying over spilled milk." but that didn't help either.
He returned to Twilight Town on his next mission, but when Roxas noticed the same three kids he saw earlier, he couldn't help but remember his time of having ice cream with Axel. He was so lost in his thoughts that the young teen didn't notice Heartless and they attacked him out of the blue.
Snapping back to reality on that attack, Roxas summoned the Keyblade and fought against the Heartless, but he was losing concentration as he kept on thinking about Axel to the point of getting pinned down by the Heartless. However, the said Heartless was destroyed by a Chakram that seemed to appear out of nowhere, and all of the Heartless were annilated.
While panting for breath, Roxas heard a familiar voice cockly say to him, "That was a close call, eh, Roxas?" and when the boy turned around, his expression was priceless as he looked in sheer disbelief.
"Hey there." Axel greeted as he approached the teen.
"AXEL!?" Roxas exclaimed, pointing his Keyblade at Axel, shaking all over with a shocked expression. It was like his friend came back from the dead.
The red-haired Nobody quirked an eye-brow at the younger Nobody's expression, and asked, "What's wrong? You've seen a ghost?"
It appeared that Roxas looked like he was seeing a ghost, as the teen stood up after dismissing the Keyblade and he blabblered and stuttered on, "But...I thought you were gone! Castle Oblivion-The whole team was annihilated!"
"Oh come on." Axel grumbled, unable to believe what he was hearing. Was the kid really that worried about him? He was a lot more tougher than the guys who are now gone at Castle Oblivion. "You thought I would be annihilated? Don't be stupid." he lightly flicked Roxas on the head, "I told you I'd be back before you know it." he told him.
Despite being flicked on the head, Roxas formed a huge relieved smile and his eyes glimmered in tears. "I'll go buy us some ice cream!" and ran off to get the treats as Axel watced him go.
"Don't listen to the Dusks." Axel advised after Roxas told him about the reports. "They never get the facts straight." before taking a bite out of the ice cream and Axel smiled. He was certianly happy to be having ice cream again. Upon speaking about ice cream, Roxas told him how he started inviting Xion for ice cream while Axel was at Castle Oblivion.
"Xion?" Axel asked, slightly confused, but then he remembered and muttered, "Oh right, No.14."
Roxas nodded, and continued, finishing, "So I promised her that when you got back, the three of us would all have ice cream together." but became puzzled as Axel, who just took another bite out of the ice cream, was so surprised and shocked that he spat it back out. "Are...you okay with that?" Roxas asked, worriedly.
The redhead nodded, getting over his shock and confusion, replying, "Yeah, it's fine." before he asked, "Just...what were you up to while I was gone?"
Roxas smiled, happy that Axel was back. The fogginess and sadness was completely gone.
After returning to the castle, Axel returned to his room for a nap since he was completely exhausted. He decided to give out his report later, and layed in his bed. When he couldn't sleep, he shifted his pillow up so he can sit-lay there, with his hands behind his head. He gazed out of his window in his cell-like room, gazing at the growing heart-shaped moon that was Kingdom Hearts.
He suddenly sensed something/or someone coming, and looked to his right, then relaxed a little when it was someone he knew. "Ever heard of knocking?" Axel sighed, as Saix teleported in.
"Why didn't you report in?" Saix ignored Axel's comment.
"Can't you let me catch my breath?"
"You took the time for the detour on your way back."
Hearing this made Axel roll his eyes. Might as well get over with it. "I gotta hand to you, you were right." Axel began, "About Marluxia and the traitors. You knew who to send."
"Hmph." Saix muttered, "I only send those who were getting in the way."
"And reduced our numbers in half." Axel smirked, finishing for the blue-haired man. "You're not afraid to break any eggs. Sure hope...I wasn't one of those eggs."
Saix remained silent on that, which Axel noticed and protested, "Hey, whoa there. That's a bad time for you to go silent on me."
"It's good to see that you made it back safely." Saix responded.
"Yeah, well, you can relax." Axel replied, "I just moved things around just the way you wanted, even though we have a major problem in those two mysterious guys who knocked out some of our numbers."
"And I thank you for it as well as being careful." Saix nodded, in somewhat approval, "You may get your rest." as he opened up a corridor behind him and stepped backwards into it, before vanishing to another part of the castle.
At this comment, Axel chuckled. "Stop it. Your graditude creeps me out."
The next day, in Twilight Town...
"Grrr." Axel groaned as he was tired, though he was back to normal work with Roxas. "Would it kill him to give me a day off?" Axel grumbled to himself, "Graditude from that guy is like a poke in the eye." grouching the fact that Saix made him get back to work, and he had just returned from Castle Oblivion for crying out loud!
"You want a exiler?" Roxas offered, seeing the tired look on his friend's face. "It was on bargain, but..."
"Sure, why not." Axel thanked, as the kid gave him the bottle, only to read the label, and cringed. 'It's past his expiration date!'
Roxas in the meantime, didn't notice his friend's expression, but did notice more heartless appearing, and summoned his Keyblade, ready to fight. Axel, who had just finished his exiler, tossed the bottle and summoned his chakrams.
After they eliminated the Heartless, Roxas noticed the three kids again, and, remembering the promise he made to Xion, smiled as he gazed up at the sky, thinking, 'Finally. The three of us can have ice cream together.'
However, Xion, who was sent to Beast's Castle, fought as hard as she could as more Heartless kept on coming at her. However, she could only use her powers to drive them away, but now, everytime she tried to summon her Keyblade...it wouldn't come out.
"Why can't I summon the Keyblade?" She asked herself. Now she was deeply worried.
If she can't use the Keyblade, she can't collect hearts...
The next day, when Xion didn't turn up, and Roxas was being told by Saix on the rate of the collecting hearts, it made the blond grow to hate the blue-haired man who told him to collect more hearts and nothing else.
"What's his problem? Stupid Saix!" Roxas grunted at himself as he fought against the heartless, finding himself so angry that he didn't even notice just how many Heartless he was eliminating, so he was blindly destroying so many that Axel only managed to eliminate two. "Fine! I'll just beat up millions of Heartless! Then we'll see if he has any reason to complain!"
"Ha-ha! That's the spirit! Axel praised. He was really enjoying spending time with the kid more and more everyday, even ever since he got back from Castle Oblivion. Roxas was panting in both exhaustion and anger, but more anger and annoyance than anything else. It seemed like Roxas can be a curious kid, a determinated kid, but now it seems that he's starting to develop a short temper.
Roxas glanced up at the floating hearts, and wondered, "But that's weird. I thought I was going a good job. I wonder how Xion's doing?"
Meanwhile, back with Sora and his group...
They had made it to another land continant, and had arrived at a new world...the only problem is...how did they get here in the first place?
"Wonder how long we've been around here?" Sora couldn't help but ask, as he walked with Donald, Goofy and Namine, while Jiminy rode in his hood.
"All I remember is this strange flash of light while we were at sea..." Namine recalled vaguely.
"Yeah, and then we woke up in that here centre with the nice nurse." Goofy added.
"And it's been three weeks since we were found too." Donald added.
"Nothing seemed to happen to my Journal either." Jiminy stated, as he checked the said book, everything he's written through out the journey still there. "I hope nothing happened to us."
Namine shook her head, saying, "All of your memories are still intact, so that's a good sign."
"And we're all a-okay too. Ah-yhuck!" Goofy agreed.
Sora smiled and agreed, "Yeah. As long as we're okay, we can continue our journey in finding Riku and the King. For now, let's explore this place for a little bit and then see what we can do."
However, just as they took another step, suddenly the ground gave way underneath them and they all cried out in surprise as they fell into a pit-fall trap and landed at the deep hole, all over each other, and groaned at the unexpected experince.
"Ow...what happened?" Sora groaned.
"Garwsh, I think we fell into a trap." Goofy muttered, a bit worriedly.
"You sure did!" a voice from above ground said, sounding all smirking, causing everyone to look up quickly, to see a man with short purple-blue hair, a woman with long pink hair, and a strange looking cat that was standing on two legs, and a gold charm on it's forehead.
"Hey, what's the big idea!?" Donald ranted on, getting into his temper tantrums again.
"Prepare for Trouble, in a deep hole," the woman began.
"Make it Double, not from a mole." the man added.
"To protect the world from Devastation."
"To unite all people's within our nation."
"To denounce the evil's with truths and love."
"To astand our reach from the stars above."
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket, blasting off in the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth; That's right!" the cat, named Meowth, concluded.
Sora, Donald, Goofy and Namine all looked blankly confused, and looked at each other, all shrugging. Even Jiminy couldn't figure out what this Team Rocket was talking about. Sora then asked Jessie the woman, James the man and Meowth, "Um, can you say that again?"
Team Rocket slumped, before they glared at the group and Jessie ranted, "Listen you spiky-haired twerp! Do you know who we are!?"
"You're bad guys!" Donald accussed. "But your dumb motto doesn't make any sense!"
For this reason, Jessie, James and Meowth were hurt by these words and crouched down, their backs to the group, and they muttered miserably, "That was just mean."
"Sorry, but uh, we don't have anything you'd want to steal from us." Goofy shrugged.
"Not even Pokemon?" Meowth asked.
Not knowing what a 'Pokemon' is, Sora shrugged, "We're looking for my best friend Riku and Donald and Goofy's friend Mickey, and we met Namine and decided to help her out too."
"Well, we haven't seen any 'Riku' or 'Mickey'." James shrugged, "They could be anywhere." only to be smacked on the head by Jessie who glared at him in annoyance while he was comically dazed.
"We're supposed to steal Pokemon, not give these kids some help!" Jessie scolded.
"Yeah, who's side you're on!" Meowth added.
Suddenly, because that Team Rocket were bad guys, that meant they were the perfect targets to the Heartless, because the said Heartless appeared all around them and hole Sora and his friends were in, alarming everyone, and Team Rocket, who were also cowardly, quickly clinged onto each other for dear life and shuddered and shivered in fear, as the heartless surrounded them.
"What are these things!?" James cried out.
"I don't wanna be around to find out!" Jessie screamed.
"They ain't Pokemon, d'at's for sure!" Meowth yelled.
"They're Heartless!" Donald exclaimed.
"Look out!" Sora warned.
Suddenly, a Thunder appeared out of nowhere, and not only it zapped the Heartless into oblivion, it also electricuted Team Rocket who yelped out comically, before there was a small explosion that caused them to be blown into the sky, screaming, "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" and disappeared.
"They're...gone!" Goofy muttered.
"Who did that?" Donald asked.
Just then, a yellow looking mouse, a bit big for a normal mouse but smaller than King Mickey. This mouse had red round cheeks, pointy ears with black tips, brown stripes on it's back, and it's tail was shaped like a lightning bolt with a hint of brown at the bottom, and black eyes with white pupils. When it opened it's mouth, it said, "Pika?"
"Pika?" Sora blinked, confused. "What's a 'Pika'?"
"It's very cute." Namine thought.
"Pikachu!" a boy's voice called out, and the little mouse looked back to see a ten year old boy, a twelve year old girl and a sixteen year old boy rush over. The youngest boy looked into the hole, and noticed Sora and his friends, and asked, "Hey, are you guys alright?"
"Yeah, we're okay. Just need a way out of this hole those three weird guys put us in." Sora answered.
The boy wasn't surprised as he sighed, "Guess Team Rocket left empty handed again." as he and his companions helped Sora and the others out of the hole.
"Thanks." Sora nodded.
"That's okay, and you should really thank Pikachu for saving you guys from Team Rocket and those weird black things." the boy shrugged. To Donald and Goofy, this ten year old reminded them of Sora. He kinda looked like Sora too, except that his hair was black, he wore a red and white cap, a blue and white vest with a dark green shirt underneath, blue jeans with a belt that had six red and white small balls hanging, and black and white sneakers with red dots on it. He had dark black-brown eyes as well and green fingerless gloves.
The girl with him had orange-red hair with a short ponytail facing skyward, green-blue eyes, a yellow tank-top, blue shorts that was connected to red straps, red sneakers with yellow lightning strikes on it, and in her arms was an adorable little egg-like baby with a spiky head, adorable eyes, it's body of an egg with red and blue decorations, short stumpy arms and legs.
Lastly, the teenaged boy had dark brown spiky hair, his eyes seemed to be closed, an orange t-shirt with a green sleeveless vest, brown jeans with a belt that also had white and red balls, and navy-blue shoes with white laces, and he seemed to have his eyes on Namine who flinched. In fact, he approached her, his face all pink and red, and he gently took her hands into his own.
"Hi, I'm Brock, and I'm a Pokemon Breeder as well as a specialist in human relations." Brock, the older teen began, acting like he was in love, much to Namine's confusion, and Sora's hint of jealousy, Goofy's puzzlement, Jiminy's confusion and Donald's annoyance. It also annoyed Brock's friends too, though. "It's such a relief that young beautiful girl like yourself isn't hurt by those dreaded monsters. Perhaps it was fate that you and I were ment to be toge-AGH!"
He was suddenly cut off when the red-haired girl tugged him hard on the ear and pulled him away, as she scolded him, "Let's get going before you hurt somebody or yourself." while he grunted in pain.
"He's weird." Sora admitted.
"Brock's like this whenever he meets a girl." the youngest boy explained while placing his hands on his hips.
"Garwsh, he doesn't seem to be shy in meetin' them. Cus' Sora's kinda shy when it comes to girls." Goofy thought, causing Sora to blush at this.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Sora protested, which caused Namine to giggle at the teen's expression, making him blush even darker.
The ten year old boy was confused, and thought, "I don't get what the idea of girls is. I mean, sure they're different compared to guys, especially when you're travelling with Misty."
"What was that, Ash Ketchum!?" Misty, the girl in question who was still holding Brock's ear, glared at the boy who is Ash Ketchum, or Ash, and who cringed back scaredly, and he muttered, "Uh...nothing." which also scared Sora, Goofy and especially Donald who thought to himself, 'She's like Daisy!'
"Whoa, no offence, but she has a temper like Donald." Sora admitted, which Misty's glare deepened, and Donald glared at him as well, which was a comical scene. "But anyway, at least everyone's safe for now. Anyway, I'm Sora." he introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Ash, from Pallet Town." Ash introduced himself, then gestured at the yellow mouse who climbed onto his shoulders, "And this is my partner, Pikachu."
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu said, waving happily at the group.
"Donald Duck." Donald introduced himself.
"Name's Goofy." Goofy added.
"My name is Namine." Namine added.
"My name's Misty." Misty introduced herself, then gestured at the little baby she continued to hold in her left arm, "And this is Togepi."
"Togi, Togi, pree!" Togepi said happily.
Namine smiled at the little baby and said, "Even Togepi is very cute, like Pikachu." which Pikachu heard and blushed in slight in embarrassment at the white-blonde haired girl's comment.
"Anyway, was it Pikachu that gave out the Thunder or something?" Sora then asked, which confused Ash and his group.
Ash then responded, "You mean Thunderbolt? Yeah, it was Pikachu. You know, Pikachu's an electric type Pokemon."
'Oh, so that's what Team Rocket talked about. Wait, did mean that Meowth and Togepi are Pokemon too?' Sora thought to himself.
"Gawrsh, Pikachu's Thunderbolt sure was powerful." Goofy admitted.
"Aw phooey!" Donald on the other hand said. "I can do a whole lot better!"
This seemed to be an insult, though, because Pikachu looked annoyed, and without Ash's permission, casted Thundershock which zapped Donald who screamed before it stopped and he was slightly churred black comically. Seeing this made Sora, Goofy and Namine laugh, and Ash couldn't help but join in, while Misty and Brock looked at the poor white duck who collasped to the ground, before he sat up and huffed while crossing his arms.
"Aw nuts." Donald grumbled.
Back with Roxas...
After not seeing Xion again today, Roxas was getting worried, as he and Axel returned to the Castle after another mission, and were in the halls of their rooms.
"I guess Xion didn't come to the Clock Tower today." Roxas thought.
"Hey," Axel spoke up, "I'm gonna hit the showers. I'm all sweaty and gross."
"Okay, I'll go get us some clean clothes." Roxas replied, heading to his room while Axel went to his, and both made way to the bathroom to clean themselves up after a hard day.
Just after they left, Xion approached Roxas's room, and, she was disappointed that she couldn't see him. 'Maybe it's best that I don't see him.' she thought as she sadly walked away. She still couldn't summon her Keyblade and she had no idea why.
This was not good news at all.
A/N: I don't think this story is going along how I wanted, but I'll will try to do harder next time in the next chapter and maybe make them shorter as writing long chapters is difficult to fill in.
Please continue your reviews, fellow readers, and I'll see you again as soon as possible. I've added Pokemon as a world for this story 'cuz I wanted to.
