Chapter Six - Too Late

Ponyta nudged Ash lightly. [Ash, are you ok?] He was feverish, Ponyta could tell, even though she was only a very young Ponyta. She turned to the other Rapidash and Ponyta. [He helped us so now it's our turn, we have to help him!] The rest of the Pokémon nodded in agreement.

A Rapidash stepped forward. [What we need first is to figure out whats wrong, but how are we going to do that? We don't know anything about healing]

Ponyta frowned and looked at Rapidash. [We need to speak to some humans]

[Humans?!] The Rapidash said in shock. Most on the other Pokémon had the same reaction. [But humans try to capture us every time we get anywere near them. For all you know you could be next]

[I know] Ponyta said, looking down at Ash, wo was breathing heavily. [But its a chance I'm willing to take] She looked back at the others. [Take care of him while I'm gone] She said before turning and running off south. [Be strong Ash...] She thought as she ran.

Ponyta raced across the land, on and on until she found some humans. Unfortunatly, they were Pokémon trainers, but they didn't seem so bad. She didn't have time to think, she just ran towards them as fast as she could.

"Look Brock, a Ponyta" Misty said looking behind her. They were taking a rest after looking for Ash for the past few days. The Ponyta seemed to be panicing about something, and when it stopped in front of them, it began jumping up and down.

Pikachu listened intently to what the Ponyta had to say and caught the enough words to piece it together. [Theres an injured Rapidash that Ponyta wants us to help] He explained to Misty.

Misty thought for a moment then turned to Ponyta. "Did this Rapidash had a black mane and brown eyes?"

Ponyta tilted her head but nodded.

"Thats Ash!" Misty said jumping up. "Come on Brock, we have to help"

Ponyta rushed across the land, not at fast as before, now carrying the wait of one person and two Pokémon. One of the humans, Misty she thought she was called, had convinced the other one, Brock, to let her take the medicines to Ash because Ponyta could run faster with her insteed of Brock. Brock agreed and gave Misty the potions, while Pikachu and Togepi went with Ponyta and Misty.

As they approached the area were Ash was, they saw no sign of them. Not one Rapidash of Ponyta. Ponyta walked around the area. Something had happened, by the looks of the tracks the Pokémon had run off as fast as they could. Ponyta set her vision on the tracks and began to follow them.

After a few minutes, they heard something behind a huge tree. When they went to check it out they found the whole herd, but were was Ash?

Ponyta stepped forward. [Guys what happened? Were's Ash?] Ponyta asked, but no one answered. They all had a saddened look on there face. [What happened?] Ponyta repeated.

One Ponyta looked over. [There was nothing we could do...It happened so fast]

[What happened so fast?] Ponyta asked, fearing the worst.

A Rapidash near by sighed. [A trainer came, decided they wanted a Rapidash for their team, and because Ash was already weakened...]

Ponyta's eyes grew wide. [No...]

[Yes] The Rapidash said. [He was captured]
