All My Way, On My Own

Part: 17

 

            I stood in the smoke. I had called out Charizard to help thrust away the smoke; I wasn’t about to let anyone die, even if they were my worst enemies. It took nearly twenty minutes for everything around to settle down.

 

            It was the weirdest thing. The only person left was James. Let’s just say he was the only one conscious… They were all breathing, but not very well. I needed to get help!

 

“Charizard! Give me a ride to Azul, now!” He nodded, fortunately having a clue that people were in danger. I swung my leg over his back as he positioned to take off. But of course Kara and Pikachu had to run up to me.

 

“But Ash!!! What about me?!”

 

“Pikachu pi pik?!” (Yeah, what about me?!)

 

“Kara, you stay here and make sure that they’re alright! Charizard can’t carry both of us plus you, Pikachu. You need to stay here to protect the area! Charizard go!” I slowly felt us hovering a few feet off the ground before they could complain. Team Rocket wasn’t about to take anything in this condition!

 

The view was magnificent from up above, no! I shouldn’t care, I need to get to Azul and grab some help!

 

Charizard shot through the air like a bullet, my cap almost flew off about a seven times, but luckily I caught it. “Hurry Charizard! They need our help!” Charizard let out a tremendous roar and zoomed off even faster in the town’s direction.

 

 It was only minutes before we arrived in Azul near the police station and I recalled Charizard. “Officer Jenni! Help us please!”

 

“Huh?” As I ran into the station she immediately stood up. “What happened?!”

 

“Team Rocket! They were battling! Huge explosion! People and Pokemon hurt!”

           

            “Where?!”

 

            “Just a few miles back on route 192! Hurry!” I bellowed.

 

            “Oka-huh? Wait a minute! You’re Ash Ketchum! Listen to me, you stay right here until I get back!”

 

            “Wha?” I asked perplexed, how did she identify my name?

 

            “Just stay here! I’m gonna call in troops to take care of this situation then I will be back, just wait here!”

 

            “O-okay…” She ran of down a hallway and disappeared. “Huh? WAIT JENNI!” Nothing answered so I sped down the hall and after Jenni. “JENNI!” I stopped at almost every door and peeked inside, most of them being empty and a few with Pokemon ready to protect where they were.

 

            I finally opened a door nearly at the end of the hall and there was Jenni standing on the phone while typing many things on the computer. “Jenni!” She stopped her mid-sentence and looked to me.

 

            “Ash, I told you to stay put!”

 

            “But my Pikachu and my friend Kara! There with Team Rocket to make sure they’re alright!” I hollered.

 

            “Just go back to the lobby! I’ll tell the troops to bring them here.” I sighed, relived that they were gonna be fine and headed back to the lobby.

 

 

            It took virtually an hour for Jenni to finally finish and she reappeared into the lobby.

 

            “Ash, come with me.”

 

 

A/N- I’m so sorry it took so long, school’s been killing away my time for this stuff and I’m just saying that people should expect about 3 more chapters of this maybe 4. Thanks everybody who reviewed and kept me going on this story!
