Remember this is through Misty's POV. it's a semi-WCverse . no Brock and the events never actually happen. enjoy

AAAAAAAA

It was a warm sunny day \and Pikachu, Togepi , Ash and I were strolling along on a path. . My crush was walking ahead with Pikachu, looking at where we were on the map. {Today is going to be the day} I thought. {today's when I' m finally going to finally tell him the truth.. i'm gonna tell him why I've stayed by his side all this time and why I've forgiven him about the bike . I can do this . How hard could it be to say four simple words: Ash, I love-}

A tug at my pant leg broke my train of thought. I looked down and saw Togepi. (Mommy?) he asked. He'd imprinted on Ash and i when he hatched so he called us Mommy and Daddy.

"Hmm? what's wrong?"

(daddy says he knows where we're going but I dunno if he does )

"Oh for the love of Mew." I sighed as we walked over to him He wore a light color ed short sleeved tee shirt under his usual vest and black capris/ Pikachu was on his usually spot on his right shoulder ."You got us lost yet again didn't you?"

"Uh...No I didn't. "

I raised my eyebrows and rolled my eyes. " uh huh…riggggght. Ash . and my Psyduck can swim without a floating ring .. if you know where we are, then tell me where are we on the map.. genius. "

"Um..." he looked sheepishly at me and pointed to a blue spot on the map. "Here we are."

Pikachu sighed from his perch. (That's a lake you're pointing at.)

"Oops."

"in other words... you don't know where we are!" I told him as I took the map from his hands, rolled it up and hit him over the head with it.

"Owwwww!" he cried

{What a blockhead) . "You total blockhead!" I voiced my thought.

I folded the map , put it in my backpack in my backpack. After a few minutes of Ash rubbing where i hit him, we resumed walking. "Come on, Misty. I have a very good sense of direction" he pointed out as we walked. "I don't need a map to know where I'm going" .

{Rigght. And Daisy, Violet and Lilly are super tough when it comes to battles} I thought.

"Since when have my directions gotten us lost or off track?" he continued

(You really want to know?) Pikachu muttered .

"Let's see." I ticked off on my fingers. "The time Primape chased us, when we got stuck in that blizzard, getting lost on the way to Vermillion City ."

(In the forest with those ghosts and you wented the hoot-hoot from that lady. ) Togepi piped in.

(when we had to seek shelter at The House of Imite, the Spearows,, Need I go on?) Pikachu added

"uh no …" He blushed red with embarrassment as we spoke for a few seconds and nervously chuckled. "Okay, you win." {'He's so cute when he's embarrassed} I privately thought.

"So I'm not the greatest with directions "

"You dolt! You're just realizing that now? "

"Well, I was able to lead us out of Mount Moon and I was able to solve Blaine's riddles-"

"Yeah, thanks to my help. " I countered.

"I almost had them . And I managed to save Lapras on my own. Plus I was able to find my back to the indigo conference after the Rocket attack. "

I rolled my eyes and sighed. {He's so stubborn on certain things. But that's what I love about him.} "Okay Mr. Hotshot I'll give you that. But who stopped Tentacruel from destroying Porta vista? Who was the one who figured out the Shamuti legend? Who got the Salveyo weed for you and Tracy?"

He opened his mouth to say something-probably to say something that would either earn him another whack or start a yet another long argument with me . "

Pikachu shook his head as he jumped down from his trainer's shoulder onto the ground. (Don't even try to come up with something Ash. you know she's right.)

His trainer closed his mouth." gee .. thanks a lot pal."

(Sorry . The truth hurts.)

We walked in silence for a bit before caming to a fork in the road. The left side looked darker and spookier than the right. (Which way mommy?) Togepi asked

"The left looks a bit creepy" I admitted.

"Trust a girl to be a bit scared of the dark. "

I glared at him resisting the urge to hit him again. "You're cruising for a bruising. besides If it's dark you don't know where you're going or what you're gonna run into ."

(Don't worry. If it's weally dark Daddy can use cyndaquil)Togepi had a point but I was still a little wary.

"Come on Mist." my crush, begged giving me a Growlithe puppy eyed look. "Please? There might be so water-types there"

Pikachu looked up at me . (You're the one with the good sense of direction. and the map…)

"Well, I guess I can stand a little dark" I agreed.

We followed the path to the left. "Besides if I'm gonna be the greatest pokemon master in the world I can't be scared of a little darkness" Ash added

{Only the thought of someone beating him in a battle scares him} I thought.

"One of these days I'm going to get there and finally show Gary who the better trainer is" he continued. "I just know it. I've got a sixth sense about these things"

. " Well Mr. sixth sense, you're going to- crash into " but before I could finish he crashed into a sign on a post and fell onto the ground. "That sign".. I ended and winced.

"Owww" he rubbed his head.

(Daddy!) Togepi jumped out of my arms and ran to him as did Pikachu.

( Ash! Are you okay?)

"Yeah, Just my ego is a little bruised."

'{Like that's gonna slow him down } I thought. I knelt down and helped him up. He looked at the sign he had bumped into. It was an old faded sign with the words faded and in some cases gone. and read it aloud:

"If you are brave at the end of .. path

you will find .. cave

Way Deep In the heart .. cave you .. see

if you.. search carefully …

a hidden lake… of Dratini"

It took him all of five seconds after reading it to jump in the air. "Yes! That will surely wipe the smirk off Gary's face! Dratinis are so rare! I don't think even he's s caught one."

{'Here we go again.} I didn't like Gary at all. He was self-centered and a big jerk who was always ahead. I liked the idea of him beating him in a Pokemon battle. They had battled once before when we were back in Pallet Town after Ash won the Orange League but Gary had easily creamed Pikachu in a battle with his Umbreon- then an Eevee. Ash had taken the loss pretty hard and was determined to show him who the better trainer.

Pikachu looked pumped too (Yeah, that will show that stupid umbreon of his. )

"Last one there is a Slowpoke !" he laughed as he and Pikachu took off. I picked Togepi off the ground and slowly followed after them.

"A Dratini would really give me respect from Daisy, violet and Lilly. And it has been a while since I got a new pokemon" I said to myself. " But that's odd someone would outright advertise that.. It looks like an old sign . so who knows if .-" .

(Mommy?)

"Hmm?"

(What's a drateny?)

I thought hard. "It's a rare blue dragon Pokemon that looks like a small serpent. According to books, it's really rare and is pretty strong. It evolves into a Dragonite. Drake of the Orange Crew has one."

(Oh.) He was quiet for a few minutes. (Is Daddy sure that it's not something the dummyheads set up?) He asked

I stopped in my tracks. Togepi had a point there . "I don't know if he does."

(How can he be sure it's not? Daddy's fallen for their twaps a lot and this could be one of them)

{Think misty; remember the egg sellers' trick? The Hawaiian girls' trick? The survey takers trick?}. This did seem like something they would do'. But if the note was telling the truth,, they'd want the Dratinis for themselves and knowing Ash, he'd want to save them.

"You're right Togepi. This does seem weird. I need to go back to that sign to take a closer look- " I felt something crawling on my pant leg so I looked down saw two Weedles rubbing against my pant leg.

" EEEEEEEEK! Get away you stupid bugs" I screamed as I kicked them into a nearby bush. Suddenly a swarm of Beedrill came out of it!

"uh oh!"

(Get her!) They buzzed.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I ran as fast as I could as the bugs chased me.

.

I somehow outran the bugs and reach the opening of the cave. Ash and Pikachu were waiting for me in front . I stopped to catch my breath

"What took you?"

. ( We heard you scream) Pikachu told me .

I pointed at the huge swarm of Beedrill that was flying toward us. "Th-th-THAT!"

He quickly unclipped Bayleef's pokeball, maximized it and did his famous turning the hat backackwards poke ball throwing pose as he threw it into the air, calling her out, "Bayleef! I choose you!"

The ball split in two and a white burst of energy came out and materialized into his Bayleef. After she materialized She turned around, and proceeded to lick his face as a sign of affection.

(Uh, Bayleef. You might want to stop licking daddy and turn around) Togepi suggested

She blushed. (Oops) . She turned around , saw my terrified face and then glanced at the Beedrill.

(GET THE HUMANS!) the bugs buzzed. She got in between the bugs and me.

(I don't think so !) The grass type yelled as she used Razor Leaf, Body Slam and Vine Whip on them.

(take that! and that!) Pikachu joined in, shocking the bug types. No matter how hard they fought, the bees kept on coming. Even

though they kept the bees at bay and managed to dodge most of the attacks the two P okemon were hit with attacks. It was only luck that neither of them was poisoned.

( Daddy, Bayleef and Pikachu are getting weally tired) Togepi commented after a while.

My crush recalled the grass type pokemon to her ball and picked up the electric P okemon, who was panting for breath . (too... many bugs.. They… just keep… on coming) he panted in between breaths.

"What do we do now" Ash asked.

The bugs had trapped is in a semi circle. they seemed to know we were beaten. I noticed a yellow-orange ball growing at the end of their stingers. "Run! They're charging up Hyper Beam!" I grabbed his hand with my free one and we dashed into the cave just as the bugs fired the Hyper Beams.

We made it inside as the beams were fired and a ton of rocks came over the entrance, leaving a small sliver of light. "That was a close one." I remarked

( I know mommy)

"Let's go find those Dratinis!" Ash said. "I'll lead."

"I don't think so" I put Togepi on the ground, got a flashlight out of my pack turned it on

He groaned. "But-"

I gave him a cringe worthy look. "I have a better sense of direction that you do. Whose so brilliant idea landed us in here? " He opened his mouth to say something but nothing but a tiny squeak came out . I thought so"

We started walking, our footsteps echoing in the deserted quiet cave. (Do you know where we're going mommy?) Togepi asked

(None of us do) Pikachu told him (but I'm sure we'll find a way out.)

We walked on in silence for a bit. I was still jittery from the bugs' attack. Something about this cave gave me the creeps.

"There!" I pointed the flashlight's beam toward a rickety looking bridge across a huge looking chasm about twenty five feet away.

"Yes! Watch out Dratini because you're mine! Gary, you're going down!" he shouted- the statement echoing through the cave.

(Shout it to the whole world why don't you) Pikachu muttered.

"I think there might be some Dugtrio in this cave that didn't hear-," I began but I stopped . There was a sound of wing beats in the air.

Pikachu's ears perked up and twitched (Something definitely heard you. And it's coming closer)

A big flock of Zubats and Golbats flew toward us. We screamed and I dropped the flashlight, which hit the ground. The biggest Golbat leered at us . ( so here' s the sound of that noise that woke us up . two loud humans and a mouse full of delicious meat and blood) it said and noticed Togepi behind my legs. (oh my .. what's this?) it asked as a long purple tongue extended from it's large mouth. (a little appetizer as well.)"

(I'm not an app-an appet- appet-teaser) my baby pokemon told the bats who laughed.

The lead Golbat with it's tongue out licked it's mouth with it . {ew}

(delicious meals for my flock )

(We're not meals for you) Pikachu uttered a low growl and shocked the Golbat . it screeched in pain and tackled the mouse, who stumbled from the impact. The yellow mouse Pokemon just managed to dodge Leech Life and Bite attacks. in retaliation he used Quick Attack on the Golbat but missed-he tried a Double-Edge attack but it countered with a Wing Attack.

. (Weakling) it said as its wings glowed silver and it hit the little mouse with a strong Steel Wing attack, flinging him against the wall.

The electric type let out a whimper of pain as he hit the rocky wall on his shoulders and fell to the ground. We were by his side in a flash. He wasn't badly hurt, just a few fur was spiked up. (That bat's toast- Owww) he gave an expression of pain as he tried to stand up but flopped on the ground .

"What's the matter Pikachu?" Ash asked him.

(I think I injured my shoulders when I hit the rocks ) he replied. We noticed there were some bad gashes on his shoulders from the rocks, some of which were bleeding . He shivered as the flock leered hungrily at him and at us. Zubats and Golbats drink blood to survive.

We huddled in a circle, trying to ignore the taunts of the Golbats and Zubats circling around us

(We're gonna feast well!)

(Can't wait to sink my fangs into that tasty looking morsel)

(Tasty looking humans)

(Yummy snacks)

(Feast time!) The lead Gobat pointed at us with a wing. (Separate them and attack!) The flock surrounded us and then attacked us trying to bite our skins. I couldn't see anything and the bats separated us. Every time I felt one on my skin I flung my backpack at it to keep them away. I didn't give the bats a chance.

"Shoo! Shoo ! Get away from us, you stupid bats!" I cried out but the bats kept on coming at us. Pikachu was covered in them and tried shocking them off of his body which somewhat worked. I heard screams of pain from him and Ash. I called out Staryu and command it to use Swift, Bubblebeam and Water Gun on the bats surrounding the electric type. Once it did that I returned it. I knelt down by the mouse's side. " Are you alright?"

(Thanks) he panted, (where's ash )

My crush was about six feet away surrounded in bats biting him. (Leave my daddy alone!) Togepi jumped out of my arms and started waving his fingers, glowing blue. Metronome!

"Togepi! No! " I cried out. He opened his mouth and fired a small stream of fire at the bats. {Whew! Flamethrower! } breathed a sigh of relief. The bat pokemon got burnt but only a few of them flew away. I

(M-Mommy.. Daddy's hurt.)

I ran over to him and Pikachu shocked a few more away. "Are you okay?" I asked him.

He nodded but I saw that his arm was red with blood and he winced in pain.

"Thanks Togepi. But how are we going to take care of the rest?

Pikachu smirked. (L et's double up.)

"Good idea" I unclipped Politoed and Corsola's pokeballs, maximized them and called them out. Ash did the same thing with Cyndaquil.

Politoed started doing a dance after he materialized and then turned to me (you rang for me?)

(Ready when you are!)

I pointed at the bats in front of us. "Corsola, Bubblebeam! Politoed, Water Gun and Swagger!" I commanded

"Cyndaquil, Flamethrower!" Ash told her. Pikachu caught his breath before adding his Thundershocks to the mix-he knew that the bigger bats would be the problem. The bats countered with their attacks so soon the space was filled with fighting pokemon and us shouting commands and encouragement to our four.A short while later, most of the bats were burnt, paralyzed, or confused. They flew off leaving only three heavy looking Golbats.

(COWARDS! FOOLS!) The bigger bats yelled at them.

"Okay you're doing great. All you have to do is work together to bring these bozo bats down and then you get a long well deserved rest" Ash and I told our tired group.

The Golbats looked at us and then gathered white energy inside their wings. ' {They're powering up to use Razor Wing} I thought.

"Corsola, Spike Cannon! Politoed, Mega Punch!"

(How 'bout something to spike up the mood?) Corsola said as she unleashed her Spike Cannon.

(Like a little punch?) My green and yellow pokemon said as he Mega Punched the bat pokemon

(My turn) Cyndaquil opened her mouth as she unleashed a huge Flamethrower attack, effectively fainting one Golbat.

"Nice job!" Ash told her. "You deserve a long rest Cyndaquil." He returned her to the pokeball and minimized it. I heard him wince as he re-attached it to his belt. 'his wounds must be worse than it looks'

He looked up and saw the remaining two Golbats fire their Razor Wind attacks us! "Duck!" he shouted as he pushed me out of the way onto the ground . The razor sharp blades of energy just missed me by inches but it nicked his shoulder and arm He yelped in pain.

The bats lunged at us, their fangs glowing purple. (You'll be delicious as a post battle snack!) They swooped in to use their Poison Fang attacks!

At the same time Ash and I cried out "Corsola, Politoed! Water Gun at full force!"

"Pikachu, Thunder!"

(Snack on this!) They said as they unleashed their attacks. The combined water/electric attacks hit the two bats. They screamed loudly and flew away.

Politoed jumped up and down with glee. (We did it! We beat them.)

Corsola looked out of breath . (I don't know about you Politoed but I feel like I could sleep for a week.)

I pointed Corsola and Politoed's Pokeballs at them. "You did really well and deserve a long rest. Return" I returned them to the balls and put them back on my belt.

Togepi tugged at my jeans (Mommy! Daddy and Pikachu are hurt weal bad)

I picked up my flashlight and went over to them, following him. Ash was clutching his hurt arm to his chest, looking pale. I noticed that there were numerous puncture marks on his arm, each one bright red. There were also some bigger bite marks, which were freely bleeding. {The bats must have gotten a lot of his blood}. There were gashes on his shoulder and shirt where the razor Wind had hit. {He looks awful}.

"I'm …fine Mist," he groaned and then winced in pain

"No, you're not". I put my backpack down, opened up and rummaged through it until I found a clean shirt. I closed it up and gave the shirt to my crush. "Here Use this to stop the bleeding"

"thanks" he took the shirt from me and i tied it over over his injured arm. I blushed

(That will definitely work until we get to a 'Center) Pikachu commented. The electric mouse was worse off than his trainer. he had marks on his fur where the Beedrils had hit it. his shoulders looked like they was sprained. Bleeding Puncture marks where the bats had bitten him danced across his fur and tail. he looked pretty pale. He looked at me and saw a concerned look on my face (Don't worry Misty. once we get to a 'Center Joy will fix me ) he panted and carefully jumped onto Ash's good shoulder.

I extended my hand and helped Ash to his feet. "We have to get out of here quick," I told them as I put the flashlight back.

"But-the Dratini-"

"We don't even know if there really are Dratini here. That sign looked pretty old and faded . Asides from me, we're all injured. It could be a trap or a trick"

(The dwateny will be still here) Togepi said as I picked him up. (Daddy, I know you want a drateny but you're weally hurt)

"Togepi's got a good point. " I pointed to the injured limb. If you managed to weaken a Dratini, how would you be able to catch it with a Pokeball?" I pointed out.

He sighed- looked pretty disappointed . "Guess you're right. "

{If they don't get their wounds treated soon it could get much worse} I thought as we walked towards the bridge. I gulped when I saw the bridge. It was a rickety looking wooden thing across twenty or so feet and below it was a deep dark chasm.

Ash looked over at it as well. "Y-you and Togepi go first I'll b-be right behind you"

I cautiously put my foot on the first plank. It seemed to hold me so I went slowly forward. I glanced back over at them quickly. The teen seemed to be nervous about something as he followed me a few steps away. I kept hearing him wince from his injuries .

(Mommy...) Togepi asked in a small voice.

"Yeah?"

(what's got Daddy so worried?)

"I think .. it was those Golbats attacking."

It was when we were halfway through that I heard a weird noise coming from one end of the bridge. I looked behind me and saw that the frayed ropes holding the bridge together were snapping!. {The Razor Wind attack must have hit the ropes}

"RUN!" I yelled as I reached the other side. "Come on, run for it!"

(Daddy! Hurry up!) Togepi chimed in.

But just as Ash got to the other side, the bridge gave way! He cried out in alarm as he started falling through the air. Putting

Togepi on the ground, I reached for his free hand ...and missed. I watched as the ropes and bridge plank fell to the other side they fell into the darkness.

"NOOO!" I called out and almost felt my heart quickly pound out of its chest.

Tears started to well up in my eyes and rioll down my face . I couldn't say anything for a few minutes . {Oh please no. "No. He can't be-.. Oh Ho-Oh he can't be ...}

(Misty, down here) Pikachu's voice came from below me. I looked down and I saw Ash tightly holding onto a small ledge about five feet below with his hands Pikachu was on his shirt -his paws clutching on to the tee shirt tightly. {I-I thought-I thought they were goners}. .

My crush looked up at me.. "h-h-hi "

my fears instantly disappeared replaced by anger and i quickly wiped my wet face. . "Hi? Hi? I thought you were...d-goners when that bridge snapped apart! You scared the near out of me and all you can say is 'Hi?' You total knucklehead! "

"I ... didn't realize you cared so much."

I put a scowl on my face. "I...just know you're .. hopeless and clueless on your own. and you still owe me that bike,"

"oh... right... that. "

(Can you help us up?)Pikachu asked. Obviously the mouse's trainer was too scared to speak about their predicament - he was pale as a sheet.

"I'll try." I bent down on my knees to reach them. "Togepi, hold onto my jeans tightl."

('Kay.)

I extended my hand so my crush could reach it. "grab my hand".

He lifted his free trembling hand and tried reach mine but missed. "I-I c-can't. Something down there is trying to pull me down" he looked really scared. No, more than that-he was terrified. I had never seen him like this before.

I could feel it too. "Just grab on." I begged. He tried again and caught my hand this . I started to pull him up. "If we don't make it out of here alive there's something I want to tell you. something I- I've been wanting to tell you for a while..Ash I -"

But as if it knew that someone Was trying to help him up, the unseen force got stronger and it caused him to be pulled into the darkness which in turn made Togepi and i fall into the pit! I shouted his name but everything was spinning around me and I felt his hand slip away! (Daddy!)

"Ash!"

(Ash! )

"Misty!"

(Mommy!)

Pikachu, Togepi, ash and I shouted each other's names but suddenly it got way too dark to see anything. Down, down, down we fell into the blackness for how long I don't know . Something hit my head and darkness enveloped me.

I opened my eyes as i found myself on something soft. I opened my eyes and found myself on some sort of gray furry carpet of some sort . I looked around as I got up to my feet . I found myself in a long dimly lit hallway with large barred windowpanes separating something. {Where in Mew's name am I ? }

I heard a voice but it was at the other end of the hallway. "I wonder if Ash and Pikachu are do you think Togepi? Togepi? " I quickly looked around for him but he was nowhere to be seen. Immediately my anxiety and fear rose - he was only a Baby Pokemon after all. " Where are you Togepi?"

I got another shock when I looked down and saw all my Pokeballs were missing! I bit my lip-I felt unprotected without my pokeballs in this unknown place- vulnerable even. I'd be glad to see any of them now …even Psyduck!

{Calm down Misty}. I thought. {Surely there has to be an explanation for why my Pokemon have vanished and how i ended up here.. wherever here is. Maybe who ever is at the end of this hallway can help me out.}

I started walking when a mournful howl stopped me in my tracks. (Hu. man girl …Help…Me.) a voice to me left said. I turned to the section it had come from. When I got to the window I stopped and gasped in a largeish cell, I saw a familiar blue spotted leopard Pokemon, its regal purple cape like mane dull and matted. It legs were shackled and a black collar around its neck. I recalled seeing it before in Johto.

"S-S-Suicune." I bowed in respect to the Legendary Pokemon . "How d-did you get .. wherever we are?"

Suicune looked at me sadly .. ( It.. does not matter.. I was foolish and weakened. ) . It tried to break the wall with a Bubblebeam attack but a bolt of electricity came out from the collar and shocked the Water Type Pokemon.

I noticed that the bar like panes in front of the glass were just like jail bars. {Maybe I can bend the bars} I thought. I touched one and got a very nasty shock that seemed to burn my fingers. I looked at the trapped Legendary.. "I'm sorry.. I can't free you."

Suicune gazed at me, despair in it's eyes. (You tried child..) it said painfully.

. I couldn't bear it so I moved on through the hallway. It was horrible. In the cell across from Suicune I saw an ill-looking Dragonair. It looked weakly at me. In one cell I did a double take when I saw Moltres trapped inside a force field. It was putting up a good fight but it broke my heart to see the legendary. In another cage a shiny Espeon wearing a black collar was trying to teleport but something in the room or perhaps the collar was preventing it from doing so. I shuddered. Wherever I was it wasn't good. There were lots of pokemon that I passed in cages. Some called out for help others, just stared dully at me all of them were injured it was hard to walk past them, knowing there was aught I was able to do.

There was a shinny Arcanine that howled for my help. I wished there was some way of helping these poor pokemon. "Don't worry. As soon as I find out what's going on I'll free you" I promised.

As I got closer to a door near the end of the hallway I heard someone shouting at something "I said to share your knowledge of his or her whereabouts or experience a world of pain!"

I heard a loud but familiar distinct cry of pain. (Help!)

"Togepi!" My heart racedas I quickened my pace.

In a much larger cell near the end of the hallway there was a blue and red dragon Pokemon that I didn't recognize. The poor pokemon's wings were chained together and its wings were tied up. Like the other Pokemon. it seemed to be wearing a power-restricting collar around its neck. It roared as it thrashed about in its cell, thrashing against the cell's windows and the walls. Every time it did a blast of electricity or ice came out from the walls and hit it. It screeched in pain. . "Whose's that Pokemon?"

(It's called a .. Salamance It wants to escape… out of here. But it will not ..be able to break free.) A weary voice spoke in my mind I stopped. I knew that voice..

I turned around to face the speaker. "It' s you!" I walked toward where the voice was coming behind a cage in a black light screen bubble near the heavy door was Mewtwo. He had his hands shackled together as well as his feet and was struggling to break free of the bubble. A dark pulse of energy would hit him every time he tried to fight back. There were black restraints around his tail and neck too. Those fierce black eyes from Mount Quena turned their gazed on me.

(You're the girl from Mount Quena) he spoke in my mind.

I nodded. "Y-yes."

(You must escape this place … before they… find you.)

I didn't know who 'they' were were and i wasn't so sure I wanted to know. "Not without my Togepi. or.. my friends.. " I shook my head.. "How did you end up.. Wherever we are?"

The man made legendary looked sad. (They used the clones… tortured Pidgeottwo, Charizardtwo, Meowthtwo N.. Nidoqueentwo .. Pikachutwo.. and … others) . I remembered the clones . (They.. are relentless) he paused.

" Have you seen a boy with black hair and/ or a Pikachu around?" I waited for his answer, hope rising in my chest/ {Did he remember ?}

(The boy ….who saved me at Mount… Quena? ) Mewtwo's eyes went wide for a minute as if remembering . (No. But the other ..one is in there. H-h-he's in .. pain.. )

My heart leapt. "M-M-M-My Togepi?"

(Y-Y-Yes) the psychic type looked to the door . (you must hurry.)

His eyes glowed. He strained for a few minutes but then the door silently and slowly opened for me. Dark energy hit him as he did so and he groaned in pain. His eyes stopped glowing.

"Thank you." I rushed inside the door. I stopped in my tracks. I was in a big white room and in the center of it was a platform and on that platform was… "Togepi!" I ran to him over to him but a barrier pushed me away and I fell onto the floor ten feet away

(M-Mmommy? Where are you !) He turned around and I saw that he was very hurt.

Poor Togepi'. He had whip marks on his shell and I saw that he looked thin and worn out. There were bruises over his body and there were a lot of wires attached to him. He was strapped into the podium so he could barely move. My anger boiled at the sight of him. {Whoever did this to him is going to pay}

"I'm here sweetie!"

He looked down and saw me. His face split into a grin as he struggled against his bonds. (Mommy! Mommy!)

"What happened to you?"

(D-d-dunoo. I don't like it here.)

"there's a barrier around you so I can't free you right away. But I'll find a way '

(Watch out for the mean human with the cold- ) his eyes went wide horror as I heard footsteps approach. I hid in the shadows. A figure of a man appeared in the door way.

" shut up ! No one can hear you anyways " A cold voice – which sent a chill down my spine- commanded. "I told you to find them for me and all you do is cry . now tell me where are they"

(Don't know what you mean) the little pokemon mumbled

the man noticed me. " get away from my prize girl! 1,000 volts of Flare Blast! " the voice yelled and I saw a huge mixed blast of electricity and fire come out of nowhere, aimed for me. I saw Togepi get hit with twice the same amount!

(MOMMY!) He screamed

"TOGEPI!" I yelled but the attack ht me just as it hit him. I yelled as the mix of fire and electricity struck! I was surprised I wasn't killed or badly burned – it was that intense! I felt like I was being burned and shocked to death at the same time. I let out a loud ear-piercing scream.

The attack stopped ten minutes later. I fell to the floor, smelling like signed flesh and clothes. I couldn't move- the pain was too great. I forced myself to look up. I glanced up and saw that Togepi's skin looked badly burnt and as that he tried to move but another zap of electricity hit him.

He reached out was one badly injured hand as if he could reach me. (Mom...my) his eyes fluttered and he fainted or so I thought.

"to.. gep .pi"

During the attack another shadow approached the other. He spoke in a pompous snobbish voice.. one I recognized right away though it had been over two years since I had first heard it. "I know that girl."

"That one?" the first voice asked.

"yes. She was with him in the orange islands" the collector said.

"Really?" the first voice rumbled.

"Yes." the collector replied. "Does she think she can steal my prize?"

"He's ... not an object," I muttered as I tried to inch forward. The pain was too much so i stopped.

"What is she doing here?" the first voice asked.

"I saw her save the brat when Lugia plunged into the water after it used Aeroblast to free itself from my rings and destroy my ship." I imagined him looking down at me with total dislike.

"Now that you mention it. She does look familiar from reports i've heard from various agents . ." That cold first voice remarked. " but What to do with her?"

"I have no use for her." The Collector scoffed. " Get her out of that room and put her in a cell. I'll deal with her later- make him talk. Attila, get her. "

A sinking feeling appeared in my stomach- I had an idea of whom the him was. . I shakily got to my feet as running footsteps approached and tried to run. But a pair of muscular arms grabbed me before I could move. I felt something cold against the side of my neck. I knew it at once that it was a knife blade. My heart beat faster than ever in my throat. I looked up and saw a tall spiky yellow haired man. His eyes were hidden behind dark shaded glasses. " hmmm. " he studied me. "You're kind of cute. Hun and I are going to have fun with you later "

"Let me go!"

He grinned as his grip on my arms tightened, "No way brat- Boss's orders. If you don't listen or obey..." he let sentence hang in the air.

"Please don't hurt him. He's just a baby pokemon," I muttered.

"Then you'd better do what I say," Attila said. "Hun has had his fun with Hero Boy-" I shuddered when he said those last two words. {Oh no! Please don't let hero boy be who i think it is} I thought but in my heart i knew it to be true.

"Anyways soon I get to have my turn. move along , girl" he ordered as he dragged me away.

I screamed. "TOGEPI! TOGEPI! …"

as I was led away, I heard Togepi faintly call (mommy, where are you going ? )

Attila led me out the door down a dark long staircase. I shivered everytime I saw a spiderweb. My heart was thudding in my chest.

'{Stay strong for him. Stay strong} I thought though the image of my poor injured Togepi burned itself in my brain. {Who would do such a thing to an innocent baby pokemon ? What were the collector and that other man talking about? What do they want with-}

I was so wrapped in my thoughts that I didn't notice when Attila stopped in front of a small cell. It had a small cot and sink and there was something like a dusty old television mounted on the wall. "Welcome to your new home" he laughed as he shoved me in.

I hit the ground on my leg as he locked the door, put the gun away and drew out a spray bottle. .

A stab of pain jolted through me. "Nighty -night." he pushed a button on the spray bottle.

Out of the bottle came a thick cloud of sparkling blue dust specks that settled over me. The effect was instant- the second the Sleep Powder cloud touched my skin my eyes grew heavy with sleep and darkness overwhelmed me.

I woke up to soft whimpers near the cell. Groggily I opened my eyes and tried to gingerly stand on my right but my injured leg weighed me down. I switched feet but found I couldn't go as much as a foot. There was a clanking noise. I turned around and noticed an iron chain tied to a post in the wall attached to a thick shackle around my good leg. I felt sweaty and sticky. I tried to brush the sweat out of my hair but I discovered my hands were tied behind my back. .

'{just Great'} I thought bitterly. "Lousy Attila. When i get free and I get out of here I swear I'm going to kick his-"

(Misty, is that you) a familiar but weak sounding voice asked in what seemed to be two cells down to me.

"Pikachu? Where are you?" I whispered.

(A couple.. cells down from you. I'm in a cramped rubber. Cage behind. A force field) he wheezed. He seemed to be in pain.

"Wh-where are we?"

(Dunno . Are you.) he coughed (okay? ).

"I think so. My leg got injured when Attila threw me in here and my legs are trapped. How about you?"

(B-Beaten till my fur was bleeding and blue. Front paws .. injured.)

A lump appeared in my throat. "Wh-where's-" the dusty television crackled on.

The screen blazed to life and I looked up to see the sneering face of the collector. I heard a gasp come out of my throat. In one hand was a sharp knife and it was pressed up against the throat of my pale tied up trembling Togepi. He held the poor pokemon with his other hand in a strong grip.

"Good morning girl. Have a nice sleep?"

"Let me out. Leave him alone " I glared at him. Evidently it was the same kick of two-way television Jessie Meowth and James used in Saffron City.

"Now, now. Why would I want to give it up? I need your help- "

"He has a name..."

(m-mommy. I'm sc-scared...)

The Collector ignored us. " your help in getting it to obey it's new master... me" he grinned evilly.

"let him go and then go to hell!"

"oh, that was the wrong thing to say. " he stated as he accidentally let his blade slip into Togepi's throat.

My baby Pokemon screamed. ( MOMMY!)

I struggled against my bonds as I yelled his name . " TOGEPI! TOGEPI!... TOGEGPI..."

"TOGEPI!" I shouted his name out.

(M-Mommy?) I looked down and saw his outline. I blinked, looked around and saw I was in my room at hime . He was pulling on my right arm. (Mommy, wake up. wake up. why were shouting out my name?) he asked.

"N-no reason, sweetie. I just had a bad dream, " I told him. {That's all it was, Misty… it was just a bad dream. it was just a bad dream }. I was pretty shaken from that nightmare .

He looked at me oddly so I gave a warm smile. {I'll never tell him about that horrible nightmare} I silently vowed inside in my mind. {N-Never}.

the end:

Author's notes: Scary huh? Now you know why Misty will never tell Togepi about it. Did i make it realistic enough? I hope the characters weren't too OOC Remember she has not met Giovanni just yet so that's why she doesn't recognize his cold voice.
