In the nick of time prt: 3

Hi again. Sorry it took so long for me to up date, like I said my computer had a nasty virus and I had lots of evil home work (mostly math, I hate math home work.). First before I start I only have 2 things to say- #1. I got no reviews from any one at all. =( #2. I will not update until I get 4 more reviews. So please review. All right I’m done complaining. Here’s the disclaimer. Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon or Yu-yu-hakisho or any of the characters involved in this story. ____________________________

(P.s. if you don’t get any of this, read the Hole story, not just in the nick of time but A new Trainer on the Block, other wise you will be totally lost.) Normal P.O.V.

"I’ve got the boy you have requested sir." Said Kate into a little box you would see in an office building. "O.K., come on in then Kate." Said a child’s voice from the receiving end of the type of walkie-talkie. The doors that they were standing in front of then opened and Ash looked around but seen no one. ‘Maybe he’s invisible’ thought Ash. "Hay look down here." Said the child’s voice that was on the type of walkie-talkie. Ash looked down and saw a toddler who was only about as tall as Ash’s knee’s. Ounce again Ash started to snicker. "Why are you laughing?" asked Kate who was very annoyed by now. Especially since he was probably laughing at her boss. "I didn’t think that Yuskay was telling the truth but…I guess he was." Ash said laughing even harder.

Kioima was annoyed at the instant Yuskay’s name was mentioned because at that point he knew why he was laughing. "I’ve been getting this a lot today." He muttered to him self. You couldn’t see Kioima’s Mouth very much because of the binkie he had in his mouth. Witch was blue if you wonted to get real technical about it. He also had a Japanese suit on (but I really can’t describe it but I’ll do the best I can k people’s.) with a hat. On the hat it said Jr. in small letters. The suit fit on him just right, it was all blue with a red waist band around his (of course) Waist. He of course had on shoes with it witch were brown. "Shut up will you!" said Kate taking out her mallet and hitting him across the room. After Ash recovered Kioima said, "Your ordeal is very simple Ash." "Please tell me it’s not the spirit egg." Plied Ash. "Nope, not really but it is, from my last experience, just as difficult." Replied Kioima. "Darn it." Whispered Ash under his breath. "So what do I half to do?" asked Ash in a slightly scared voice. "Well first of all you need to get someone in the living wolds attention so that you’ll still have a body to go back to. From that point on I’ll let you know what’s next." Said Kioima. "Well I really don’t have a choice do I?" replied Ash.

"We should get going then." Said Kate to Ash. "Sure." Said Ash, who now seemed to be in a better mood. =)

5min. Later…

"Umm Kate? If living people can’t see us how do we get there attention?" asked Ash. "Well, the easiest way is to wait until they fall a sleep. The living are more in tune to the super natural when there unconence." Replied Kate. "Cool, so all I have to do is pick a person I know that can stop the funeral and wait until they fall a sleep and go in there dreams?" questioned an excited Ash. "Bingo." Said Kate. "Perfect, it’s already 8:00 p.m.," said Ash looking at his watch. "Let’s go to my house, I’m dying to see what’s going on there." Added Ash. They headed over there and to Ash’s surprise Gary was there! "What’s Gary doing here?" Ash asked himself.

"Hay is any one there?" asked Gary, knocking on the door. The door opened and Mrs. Ketchem was standing in the doorway with puffy eye’s and tears rolling down her cheack’s. "What wrong Mrs. Ketchem, is Ash home?" Ash then muttered "Wrong thing to say Gary." Mrs. Ketchem began to cry harder. "What did I say, what’s wrong?" asked Gary in dismay. "I’m sorry Gary, forgive me, come on in and I’ll tell you all about it." Said Mrs. Ketchem trying to hold back her tears. "Wow, she’s really broken up about this." Whispered Ash to him self. They then headed into the house. They listened as Mrs. Ketchem retold the story about Tom showing up and Ash getting kid napped and also how Ash had saved Misty’s life and how he ended up dying. After she was done Ash checked his watch and gasped at the time. It was already 8:30! It had taken a half-hour just to get through that one story! Gary had his head down in disbelief. "I…I…I can’t believe he’s actually dead. After all he’s been through. Saving the world. I just can’t believe it." Stuttered Gary. "Watch now he’ll cheer for joy." Said Ash with a smirk. Then to Ash’s total surprise, he saw a tear run down Gary’s cheek. "What? I thought Gary hated me." Said Ash in disbelief. "I guess not huh." Said Kate. Gary then looked up right at Ash. "Wait a min. I thought he couldn’t hear us Ash whispered. "He can’t, but some people have what you would call high spirit awareness, and they can some times feel the presence of a goast in the room." Replied Kate. "Wow there’s a lot I didn’t know about Gary." Said Ash. "What’s wrong Gary?" asked Mrs. K.

"Oh nothing, I just can’t believe it." He replied. "By the way, wear’s every one else?" asked Gary. "Oh well, Brock went back to puter cidey, Tom’s up stairs, Misty refuses to come out of her guest room;" started Mrs. K "And Richie is devising a plan on getting her out while pikachu stays on Ash’s bed and when we try to pick him up he just simply shocks us and refuses to move all the other pokemon are staying at your grandfathers lab, Amy also stays in her room crying her eye’s out. I’m trying to cheer everyone else up even though I can’t even cheer my self up." Added Mrs. K. "Here let me help, do you won’t some hot chocolate?" asked Gary in a comforting voice. "Sure thank you Gary." Replied Gary.

" Let’s see if Misty’s asleep shall we." Suggested Kate. "O.K." replied Ash. And they headed down the hall to Misty’s room. When they got there they saw misty sleeping and crying at the same time. "Were in luck." Exclaimed Kate. "All right here goes nothing." Said Ash flying down next to Misty. "No Ash please don’t go." Misty mumbled. "Misty you need to listen to me" said Ash who was sitting on Misty a little. "Ash." She said again. "Hay! Can you here me?" asked Ash in a kind of up set voice. "Your heavy." She answered to Ash’s questioned. Ash immediately slides off of her stomach animation style. (The screen changes and Ash and Misty are both standing up talking to each other in her dream.) "You need to listen to me very carefully ok Misty." Said Ash in a very Sirius tone. "O.k." replied Misty as she shook her head to show that she under stood what he was saying. "You got to tell my mom to stop the funeral, tell her I’m coming back. Please don’t cry, you know I hate it when you do that." Ash said as he took his hand and wiped a way one of her tears. "ASH!" yelled Misty as she sat up right in her bed. Ash stood by watching her debate weather the dream was really true or not.

Ash hoped she would go with the side that said it was truly real. The next morning Ash’s spirits were dampened when Kate told him that Misty had dismissed the idea that the dream was true. "This dream thing isn’t working Kate is there any other way to talk to living humans?" asked Ash. "Well there is one way, but I don’t think you’ll like it." Replied Kate. "I’ll decide that on my own thanks, what is it." Said Ash in a grouchy mood. ‘Man, being dead sure makes a lot of people grouchy, I wonder why.’ Thought Kate before answering Ash’s question.

"Well you could take over someone’s body for a while and relay the message through them." Answered Kate. "What’s the catch?" asked Ash suspiciously. "Well you have to find some one who has high spirit awareness." Said Kate with a devilish smile on her face. "Oh no, no way am I taking over Gary’s body." Said Ash in no mood to take over his rival’s body. "Well then I guess your body will have to get burnt to a crisp and you’ll have to stay in spirit world for a long, long time." Said Kate getting more amused by the second. "EEERRR FINE I’ll do it." Said Ash very annoyed by this point. First his dad comes back after 13 year’s of pretending to be dead, then he gets kidnapped after that he gets shot and next he finds out he’s dead. Then after that Misty doesn’t believe he actually came into her dream’s and now he has to take over his rival’s body, and to top it all off Kate just told him that he has only one hour to find Misty and tell her his message.

All and all it has been a pretty bad week. "Alright he’s ready you know what to do right?" asked Kate confidently. "Yup. But I still don’t like this." Said Ash. Ash floated down word into Gary’s body. "Cool it worked." Said Gary/Ash. "Hay Gary, can you come up here for a min. please." Shouted professor oak from the up stair’s of his lab. "Sorry I can’t, I gotta go to m… I mean Ash’s house for a min." replied Ash hurrying out the door. "It’ll just take a second." He called back. "Darn it." Whispered Ash to him self. "O.k. coming, grandpa." Said Ash, who had to keep reminding himself that he was Gary and not him self. Ash/Gary walked up the stairs into professor oak’s lab. "What did you wont gramp’s?" asked Ash/Gary. "Do you mind if I look at one of your pokemon for a min.?" asked Professor oak. "Sure." Said Ash/Gary. Ash/Gary took a pokemon from his belt and handed it to the professor. Then Ash rushed back down the door and o to his house. Ash checked to see if any one was in the house. To his misfortune no one was there.

Ash rushed down to the market and was over joked to find Misty sitting on a bench by her self. "Perfect." Said Ash to him self. "Hay Misty." Said Ash/Gary cheerfully. "Go a way Gary." Said Misty in a harsh voice. "Umm Misty I have a really big surprise for you." Ash/Gary said. "What is it?" said Misty in a hash voice still. "I’m not Gary." He said playfully. "Why don’t you bug off jerk." Said Misty angry with him for teasing her. Ash thought real quickly for a way to convince her that he was really Ash. That’s it! "Ya, well your scrawny." Said Ash menacingly.

"Huh, what did you say?" she said suspiciously. "I said you were scrawny and I was about to tell you that I’m not Gary I’m Ash in Gary’s body." He said smiling at her. "Ash is it really you, yes but I got to hurry and tell you some thing before this guy gets his body back." Said Ash now getting sirous as he checked his watch and discovered he only had 10 min. left before he was booted out. Tears rolled down Misty’s face as she shook her head to show she under stood what he had just said. "I’ll say this quick because he gets his body back in about 5min. ok. Don’t let my mom go on with the funaral, because I’m coming back. I just have to wait a while o.k.? please beleave me." Said Ash. "I do beleave you and it’s not the stupid jokes or the tricks you play on me some time’s there are ways you talk and lauph that I would never mistaken for some one else. Come back soon O.K.?" said Misty hugging Ash/Gary.

"No problem." Said Ash quitely as his spirt left Gary’s body and Gary had his body back. ‘Wait a min. I thought I was with my grandpa.’ Thought Gary who just now noticed Misty hugging him. ‘Wow I guess not, Misty must not be able to resist my good looks. Hehe.’ Misty felt a change in the way Gary was hugging her and knew it was no longer Ash who was hugging her but Gary. "PERVERT!" she yelled as she slapped him and walked a way cheerfully. Ash and Kate followed Misty untill her mom discorvered that Ash was in fact a live with an hart beat and all even though Ash still had to go through the ordeal to truly get back his life.

____________________________Finally done with the 3rd part of ‘in the nick of time’ next time I hope to write what Kioima has planed for Ash to get his life back. Will Ash get his life back or will he have to say his final good bye to Misty and every one else. Done, done, done. I need 4 review’s to move on to the next chapter.
