Cartoonfan: Thanks for all the reviews. Well here is Ch. 9

Ch. 9 Feelings and a Legend

Morning soon came. A warm filling soon hit Ash's cheek. Stirring in the blanket, Ash started to open his eyes. He looked around and noticed the blanket covering him. He sighed. Gripping May's hand, he felt the cold feeling as if no life was running through her body. Breathing came from her lips so he knew she was not dead.

Standing up, he walked out the room. Standing in the door, he looked one more time at May's peaceful face.

No one was outside as he walked into the waiting room. Nurse Joy was only sitting at the table typing away at her computer. She noticed that confused look on his face and told him and Misty and Brock left for town. Ash nodded his head and took a seat.

About half and hour went by before Misty and Brock returned. A smiling face was on the faces. Ash just smiled as Brock walked by. Misty went to stand by a window. Ash moved from his seat and walked over to her.

Misty looked up at Ash and noticed his eyes showing now emotions. "Brock and I decided to go into town. I noticed you were asleep so I decided not to wake you up." said Misty talking soft and then heading to May's room to see how she was.

Ash never moved from the window instead he stayed by there and looked out. Staring out, he noticing the birds flying by. He wished May was back to normal. He remembered when she was happy. How she enjoyed watching Ash battle or how she wanted to compete in a Pokemon contest. Tears started to run down his face as he thought how she used to be to how she was now. Ash banged his hand against the window.

Misty leaned against the door. She watched Nurse Joy replace the dead flowers with fresh ones. No smile seems to be upon her face. There was only sadness.

Brock soon appeared beside Misty. He gave her a weak smile, but approached Nurse Joy. Misty could hear Brock asking how May was doing. Nurse Joy only shook her head. There was no change in her. Brock laid his hand upon her shoulder and gave a weak smile before leaving the room.

Ash noticed Brock returning, but never moved from the window. Brock headed to a seat and sat down. He picked up a book and started reading.

Misty felt sorry for everyone as she stood in the door watching May sleep. Ash was not speaking to anyone. He didn't even try pokemon battles that much. Pikachu felt as if his trainer was in pain. Brock was quiet. He visit May constantly, but always had the same remark on his face, quiet. Misty wished May would awake and that everything was back to normal, but nothing was. A couple times as she turned from Ash to May, she kept thinking that maybe it would have been better if May never joined the group. True that Ash was a pain, but he was fun to be around. Completely, she missed how everything used to be and hope that it would revert back to normal. At that time, she wished that May would just disappear.

Misty was in shock as she thought of that. Leaning against the wall, she pressed her hand against her face. Fear ran through her. Did she really hate May that much or did she care that much for Ash that she didn't want anyone else to take him away. Quickly turning around, she ran to the bathroom. Three tears were running down her face as she looked in the mirror. She felt awful for thinking that way. She didn't want May to disappear. She just wished there was away that May wouldn't hurt Ash so much.

After splashing water on her face, she returned back out into the waiting room. Instead of reading a book, Brock was reading a newspaper. Ash was still by the window, but instead was sitting in a chair next to it asleep.

Misty soon walked over to where Brock was. He looked over his paper and noticed how sad her expression was. Turning his head over to where Ash was, he realized it that Misty was concerned about Ash.

Misty soon sat down beside Brock, however, as she was just about to close her eyes, Elise came running in. For the past hour, she was hunting down Brock, Ash, and Misty when she heard from someone that a boy and his pikachu were staying at a Pokemon Center because a girl got injured.

"I am glad that I finally found you. I've been looking for you everywhere. I got some news about that pokemon that you reported." Said Elise.

"What did you find?" Asked Misty.

"I found out that's it name was silver and it is suppose to protect Silvertown. But, one day it vanished without a sight. Some people say that a group of pokemon hunters found it and took it but that was about 100 years ago or more." Replied Elise catching her breath.

"So that is what happened to Silver I feel sorry for it." Said Misty looking at Elise.

"Yeah and ever since Silver vanished bad things have been happening that's why we do a carnival every year hoping one of these days Silver will come back and bring peace to this town." Said Elise grabbing a chair and sitting down.

"Brock, we should wake Ash. He needs to know about this." Said Misty looking over at Ash who was sound asleep.

"No. I think it is best for him to rest. Too much has happen and this news will probably upset him even more. In other hand, I can fill in everything." Said Brock laying his paper down.

"Okay." Said Misty not sure if that was a good idea, but deciding to go ahead with it.

"While we're on the topic, how is everyone?" Asked Elise

"Ash is recovering slowly and well, May, is still the same." Said Brock.

"Anyways, tell us more about this pokemon named Silver and the town." Asked Misty wondering about the story and Silver.

"Legend goes that hundred of years ago Silvertown was in great trouble. They had no food, water or even plants they were bone dry. They had no rain for at least 9 months. A boy named James Newberry he was about your guy's age. He started studying the town and seeing why there was no rain. One day while he was walking around he stumbled across a cave. He was curious and decided to check it out inside this cave where markings not known to mankind. After studying it for hours he decided to leave and come back tomorrow. As he was leaving he saw this silver like pokemon go by. He didn't see all of it only a glimpse of it. So everyday he would come back to this same cave and wait for that same pokemon to go by. The villagers thought he was going insane but, James new he saw a pokemon. After several months he decided to give up and leave. 30 years later he came back to the same town. He saw that the town that was once dry was full of plants, water and food he was confused. So he decided to go up to where he saw the cave and it was gone it was like it vanished. As he was leaving he saw silver like pokemon fly above him. Right away he knew that that was the same pokemon he saw 30 years ago. He decided to do research on the pokemon he saw and found out that its name was silver it was suppose to bring food, water and luck." Said Elise telling more of the legend about Silvertown and Silver.

"So that's how the town got its name. I always thought it was weird that the town had the same name as the pokemon." Said Misty amazed by the story.

"Yeah, that's pretty much the reason. We just need to get that pokemon back before anything bad happens." Said Elise as she was standing up.

"Yeah, that's true, but the problem is how." Asked Misty.

"I wouldn't know. There has to be answer somehow." Replied Elise

"Ya, but at the moment, let's not even think about it. If Ash finds out about this, I just don't know how he is going to react. We need to concentrate on May and hope she survives." Said Brock.

"At the moment, I have to leave. I have more things to do, but please keep me updated on May. If I find anything about Silver, I will tell you." Said Elise running off.

"We will and thanks." Said Brock going back to his paper.

"Now what do we do?" asked Misty.

"Nothing except wait." Said Brock.

Misty didn't like the waiting, but knew there was nothing she could do about it. Standing up, she decided to go check on Ash, however, when she arrived over where he was sleeping, he was no longer there.

"Nurse Joy, did you see where Ash went?" asked Misty

"He left about 20 minutes ago. Didn't say where, though." Said Nurse Joy writing on her clipboard.

Misty sighed as Nurse Joy left the room. A wondering question was on her mind. Where did Ash really go? She wished he would just talk with her, but he never says a word. Unknown to Misty, Ash was sitting at the docks staring at the water.

Cartoonfan: Sorry I have to end it. Why did Ash head to the docks? Is there a chance he heard the legend. What will happen with the pokemon named Silver. And will May ever awake. You will just have to wait and see in the next chappie. Bye :)
