It’s Not the End, it’s the Beginning 2: Golem and Death Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, WB, etc. Prologue: It’s been 3 years since their first encounter with Onix (They were 16 at the time). Ash and Misty have been through a lot: Saving Worlds, watching others die, their first kiss, my writing skills being improved, and much more. They have matured a lot since that night of their Onix encounter. Ages: Ash: 19 Misty: 19 Paul: 20 Brock: 21 Gary: 19 Prof. Oak: ?? Ash and Misty were walking around town when they bumped into Brock. Ash/Misty: Brock! Brock: Ash! Misty! What are you doing here? Ash: We got a code 2 at the local shop. Ash took out a small piece of paper and studied it. Ash: Where’s Gravel St? Brock: It’s next to the gym. Misty: Thanks Brock. Ash and Misty walked off. A Pokemart. Ash and Misty entered and looked around. Ash gave the piece of paper to the man behind the desk. The man nodded and pressed a button. One of the walls slid up and Ash and Misty walked through the opening. Ash took two black trenchcoats off the wall and handed one to Misty. They put them on. Misty passed a pair of sunglasses to Ash and put hers on. Ash put his on and opened a door. They walked into the next room. On one wall was a picture of a Golem. A man was sitting at a desk. His nametag said Mr. Oak. Ash: Greetings from planet Earth, professor. Oak: Very funny Ash. Listen up. A Golem has destroyed the path between World 2 and World 7. Misty: There’s a World 7? Ash: Ya Misty. It’s called the Zone of the End. Misty: Oh. I forgot about that. Oak: It’s up to you to restore that path. Ash: Ok. And how do we get there? Oak pressed a button and the Golem painting slid sideways, revealing a bowl of shimmering, swirling, blue, and purple liquid. Ash: World 7 path? Oak nodded. Oak: Good-bye. Ash and Misty poked the liquid and instantly were gone. A Cavern Ash and Misty landed with a THUD! And got up quickly. Ash: See Onix? Misty: No. Ash: Good. Voice from behind: Glad you could make it. Ash: Onix! Ash and Misty spun around quickly and came face-to-face with a Golem. Golem: No, I am Golem. You are Ash and Misty. Best agents W.C.A. ever had. But you will not defeat me. Golem curled up into a ball and flew into the air. He turned into an ordinary boulder and fell to the ground. The air filled up with boulders and also fell. Misty: Ok. This will be hard. Ash: Nope. GO! GOLBAT! Ash threw a pokeball into the air and a Golbat popped out. The Golbat used sonar to find Golem. When he found him, Golbat landed on him. Ash nodded and sent out Blastoise. Misty sent out Starmie. Both of them: Water gun! Blastoise and Starmie both used water gun on Golem. Golem turned back to his normal form, angrier than before. Ash: Blastoise! SKULL BASH! Blastoise charged straight towards Golem, head first. Golem dodged just in time and Blastoise slammed into the wall. Growling, he got up and stared at Golem. Golem: What, do I have something in my teeth? Suddenly, movement! Behind Golem. He turned, but was too late! Charizard kicked him flat in the face. Golem fell over. Misty and Ash smiled at each other. They both blushed and looked back to fight. Golem was out cold. Ash called in a W.C.A Squad to take him out. He went over to the pool and sat down, splashing his shoes in the water, Ash: Misty? Misty sat down next to Ash and looked toward him: Ya, Ash? Ash: Ever wonder why we do this? We’re 19, we should be living our lives. Misty stared out into the water: You’re right, but the Worlds need us. Without us, they’d collapse into chaos. Pokemon like Golem would destroy the paths. I mean, look around you. This cave is really a cove in World 7. Outside it’s like our World with people like you and me. If we didn’t do this, they might not exist. They could die, Ash. Misty’s eyes started to get glossed over and Ash took her hand in his. Ash: Shhhhhhhh…it’ll be ok. Misty looks at Ash’s hand and pulls hers away. They’d both been nervous around each other since that night of their first kiss. ***Flashback*** Ash and Misty were celebrating their first World save. They had just had a picnic and were lying down, staring at the stars. Ash had his arm around Misty’s shoulders. She didn’t care, she had feelings for Ash. Ash pulled her closer. Ash: Congratulations. Misty smiled: You too. Ash turned his head and smiled back, staring into Misty’s eyes. He leaned in for the kiss; Misty did the same. Their eyes were closed; they were now kissing. Both pulled away surprised and laid at opposite ends of the blanket for the rest of the night. ***End*** The W.C.A Squad finally popped in, carrying heavy machinery in with them. One member walked over and handed Ash one of the two bowls he was carrying. Ash and Misty poked it, reappearing in Oak’s office. Oak: Congratulations. Both of you. Here’s your pay. Oak handed them both a fat wad of bills. Ash took his smiling. Misty just stuffed hers in her jeans packet. They hung up their coats and put their sunglasses on the shelf. Together, hand-in-hand, they headed outside, into the sunshine. Ok, it sucked. But I wanted to sart the third one(the first good one) so soon, so I had to end this one quickly. What do you think?
