All My Way, On My Own Ages: Ash: 14, Kara: 9, TR:21, Alec: 14 Part: 4 Ash's P.O.V. through out the whole story unless I say so. It had now been a few days since I left back on my journey alone. I would normally shoo Kara away from me but she kept bothering me. She had raced off about an hour ago and was due back any minute from the rate that she was annoying me. "Lasana City, here I come!" I had been really psyced all day since we were pretty close to Lasana. Pikachu rolled his eyes and continued on. "Prepare for trouble!" "Make it double!" "To protect the world from devistation!" "To unite all peoples within our nation!" "To dennounce the evils of truth and love!" "To extend our reach to the stars above!" "Jessie!" "James!" "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!" "Surrendor now or prepare to fight!" "Meowth, that's right!" "Team Rocket!" I yell angrily. "That's right twerps- hey where are the other twerps?" Jessie whimpers. "They're not here, now go away right now!" I yell with Pikachu's cheeks crackling with electricity. "Tch...tch, twerp. Be nice to us," James scolded. "You wish," I muttered. "Now you just stand still as we do some business!" Jessie says. "Uh-huh, sure," I say and head down the road to Lasana City. "Oh yeah...here's what you came for, Pikachu Thunder Bolt!" I say and just a few seconds later I hear a "ding" in the distance as Jessie and James blast into space. "Pathetic Losers..." I say sarcastically. "Pikachu pi." (Let's go.) * * * "Hiya Ash!" Kara called out. My temper was rising greatly already for I knew what I was in for. "Watcha doin?" She says in a singsong voice. "Nothing," I mutter. "I can't hear you!" Kara calls. "NOTHING!" I yell. "That's more like it," Kara said. "Will you go away?!" I say. "No." "WILL YOU PUH-LEASE GO AWAY!" "No." "EEEERRRRRRR...GO AWAY!" Kara started her new fake cry that always made me feel guilty. I tried to ignore it but it sounded so real. "Sorry..." I say and trail off. The guilt got me again. "It's okay!" She says as she looks up revealing eyes that had not been crying. "Will you please go away or do you want it to happen like last time," I say and smirk. That had gotten Kara's attention. "Okay, bye!" She calls as she runs off. "Heh...heh." That always got her. * * * I sat by the little stream, washing my face in the crystal clear water. I had to remember to update my pokedex with the new doo and clothes so nobody would think that I stole it. (A/n- thanks for reminding me Kleptomanic Can Opener.) "Hey Pikachu!" Pikachu looked up and ran over to me. "Pika?" (What?) "Could you go see how far the road is away from here?" "Pik!" (Sure!) Pikachu always liked to exersise, so I always gave him the chance. As Pikachu ran off I heard "Hey!" Someone called. "Yeah?" I say looking up at a boy with brown hair and brown eyes. He had highlights that were fading away. "Do you know the way to Lasana City?" He asked. "Well sort of, I am heading there." "Are you a Pokemon trainer?" "Uh...yeah." "Then I challenge you!" "A Pokemon battle?" I ask. "Duh..." "Alright! Go Ivysaur!" "Go Tauros!" He yelled. "Ivysaur, use your Razor Leaf!" "Ivy!" (Okay!) I watched as the leafs that were sharp as blades came in contact with Tauros. It did a bit of damage, but not much. "Tauros, use your Stomp attack!" Right then the ground started to shake and Ivysaur lost his balance. "Good now, hit it with a Tackle!" The Tackle attack hit Ivysaur dead on. "IVYSAUR!" I stood there clueless. I got an idea. "Ivysaur use Vine Whip and throw Tauros!" Ivysaur got up slowly and used his Vine Whip and grabbed Tauros and threw him. He slammed against a tree. Tauros got up pretty quickly. "Tauros! Use your Glare attack!" I stood in horror as Ivysaur was being paralyzed. "Close your eyes Ivysaur!" He did so. "NOW, SOLAR BEAM!" I watched as the sunlight soaked into Ivysaur. Soon a huge beam of white light came out of the bloom on Ivysaur and blasted Tauros. This time a crash was heard and the tree that had once been standing was on the ground. "No Tauros!" The boy ran over to the fainted Tauros. I stood in shock and soon ran over to the boy. "Is he okay?" "Yeah." The boy said. He stood up. "You are worthy," he says as he holds out his hand. I take his hand. "Worthy of what?" "Me." I sweatdropped. "Pikachu pi." (Hi Ash.) "Hey Pik. So how far is it to the main path?" "Pika kachu," (Not far.) he says happily. I nod to ask something. "So what's your name?" I ask. "Alec, Alec Risk." He concludes. "Ash Ketchum," I said. A/n- thanks for the reviews so far. Three more reviews till the story goes on!
