Authors note: heeey!! Me again!!! You’re still reading this?! Then it must mean you like it! (yay). I’ve got so much time, that I’ve began on this chapter right away. The sooner the better…^_^ well not much more to tell…
I don’t own pokemon, because if I did, then I would try to make money outta’ this (which I don’t!) and be very very rich (which I’m not!). The same goes for the other anime, I ”borrowed” the idea from.
Now, since we got that clear, let the story begin.

PART 3

It’s been a day since Ash, Misty, Brock and Team Rocket arrived at Silver city. The forest that surrounded the city is haunted by a vicious evil Ursaring. Ash and Team Rocket learned that the hard way. Team Rocket promised not to steal Pikachu, because of the events. So let’s just say that they maked some kind of a truce.

Ash still didn’t talk to anyone. He was in deep thought about that Ursaring. He couldn’t belive that a pokemon could turn evil. All Pokemon were kindhearted…right? He’d tried to figure out what’s wrong, also wondering why that Ursaring only had one eye, it looked like it’s right eye got blown away, or something. But that doesn’t make a Pokemon evil, does it? And what kind of an attack could do that, anyway? All those questions where rumaging Ash’s mind. What? Why? How?…

It was morning, you could hear some few pidgeys chirp outside. The most of them had either been scared away, or flied away to a warmer place. The sun rose over The Silver Mountain, throwing light over the little city. Some Nidorans where..”making out” in the outskirts of the city. Team Rocket slept peacefully, while Brock where up, flirting with Joy (as usual), and Misty (who also where up) sat on the couch, worrying about Ash (boy, she worries a lot about that kid!). Ash himself was still in bed, but didn’t sleep. In the matter of fact, he didn’t sleep all night, those questions still haunting his mind. Pictures of the evil Ursaring, kept popping up in his mind. He just couldn’t get over it! He’d never seen an evil pokemon, thought he never would….

¬¬¬

It’s 9.30, and Team Rocket had just got out of bed refreshed and restored…well Jessie were, James was still half asleep, with Meowth sleeping on his head. But the smell of food (which Brock was making in the kidchen, he took a break from flirting with Nurse Joy) suddenly woke the two up, and they sped out to the kidchen.

Brock: Well, goodmorning to you two. Sleep well?

Meowth: Ya fine! Is the food done?! I’m starving!

James: Me too!

By now Jessie also came out to the kidchen. There she saw the sight of James and Meowth shaking Brock to give them some food. She shook her head in disgrace.

Brock:(still being shaken) t-t-take i-it e-e-easy!!! T-t-the f-food’s do-one in a-a fe-ew min-nut-tes!

Meowth: Well hurry up! I’m starvin’ here!

Jessie:(to Brock) Here let me take them for you.

Jessie took Meowth by it’s tail, and James by his shirt and dragged them out the kidchen, leaving Brock still half shaken. He wondered why Jessie helped, but came to the conclusion that she probably was hungry too, and took James and Meowth away, so the food could be done. Brock decided not to wonder about it anymore, and get the food done, or he’ll get shaken up again.

Out in the hall, Misty sat on the couch, with Togepi slumbering in her arms. She just saw Jessie drag James and Meowth away from the kidchen. She looked towards the bedroom door where Ash was. When she stood up she checked on Ash, but couldn’t see if he was awake or not, since his face was towards the wall. They where sleeping in bunkbeds (Ash being in the lowest bunk) so she couldn’t check. It was weird though. Ash’d never been like this. He didn’t even eat dinner last night. Even if Ash where ill, or something, he’d never skip a meal! What was wrong? Gah! Those questions again!..

Brock:(shouting from the kidchen) Misty! Food’s done!

Before Misty could react, James and Meowth rushed to the kidchen, as if their life depended on it. Jessie walked slowly towards the kidchen, a little bit angry at James and Meowth.

Misty:(sarcastic) Guess they’re hungry.

Jessie looked at Misty, having a tired look on her face. ”You should see them, when they’re REALLY hungry” she said sarcastically, and walked out to the others. Misty shook her head, sometimes Team Rocket could be REALLY weird. Just then Brock came out of the kidchen, with a scared look on his face.

Misty: What’s the matter?

Brock:(a bit scared) They’re like animals, on a killing spree!!!

Misty:(sarcastic) That bad?

Brock: Worse!

Misty laughed a bit, and then Brock joined in. They stopped when they heard a familiar voice ” Is it really that funny?” They looked towards the direction the voice came from and saw….

Misty/Brock: Ash!!

Ash looked like something the Meowth dragged in, having messy hair, his clothes a bit messy too and he had a tired looking face (well wouldn’t you, when you haven’t got your nights sleep?). Pikachu walked out the bedroom, out beside Ash. Unlike Ash, it got it’s sleep.

Brock: So Ash. You’re up! Are you okay? Misty’s been all worryied about you.

Misty:(blushing) Well… you didn’t act normal.

Brock:(laughing) Misty! Then it means that Ash is okay!

Ash: I resent that!

Brock: Well, at least you’re talking. Do you want something to eat?

Misty: That’s if Team Rocket haven’t eaten it all.

The trio laughed a bit, and then went out to the kidchen and got something to eat. It wasn’t easy though. James and Meowth ate like crazy, but Jessie managed to hold them down, so the others could get something. (Why is she so kind? That’s easy to tell.. Jessie just thought it would be fair, since Brock was so kind of making some food to them. So now you know ^_^).
Misty looked at Ash while eating. He did seem to be norm….. himself now, but did only speak, when spoken to. Misty couldn’t wait longer, so she broke the silence..

Misty: Ash, why were you so quiet yesterday?

Ash looked a bit surprised at Misty. He didn’t expect to be asked about that. Well, at least not now. Team Rocket and Brock looked at Ash, curious about the answer.

Misty: Well?

Ash: uhh… It’s just because, I’ve never seen a Pokemon like that Ursaring..

Brock: What are you talking about? We’ve seen many Ursarings before..

Ash: Well, I don’t remeber them looking pure evil, and have it’s right eye blowed out.

Misty: What do you mean pure evil? And what’s that again with the right eye?

Meowth: What he just said! Pure evil, and right eye blowed out! It scared the hell out of me!

James shivered by the memory, ”M-me too”…

Jessie: But I wonder why it attacked us?

James:  Ya, I mean, for once we didn’t do anything…

Brock: Well, if it WHERE evil, which I doubt, then it didn’t need a reason.

Misty: But Ash! Why were you quiet about that?

Ash:(sarcastic) I’ve just never seen an evil pokemon before that’s all! Wouldn’t you be a bit surprised when you suddenly saw something like that?

Misty: Well.. I guess…

They all decided not to talk more about it. They finished their food, and luckily, the Chanseys and Blisseys volunteered to wash the dishes. So they all sat out in the lobby, and rested..

¬¬¬

Out in Silver forest, a couple of Ponytas and Rapidashes were running across an open field in the middle of the forest. The snow falled lightly. They all had fun. But in the tress nearby, a big figure, with a crimson red glowing eye of pure rage, was watching the playing Pokemon. it was about to attack the horses, when a couple of men, suddenly came into the clearing. They where carrying some signes. The figure decided to wait a little bit.

Man 1: Why do we have to hang those warning signs up? It’s bad enough that we have to go in here in the first place!

Man 2: Well, we do have to warn people from that bear! Didn’t you hear the news? Some kids were almost killed by that-that thing!

Man 1: I don’t recommend them for being kids! They looked to be about 17… Anyways, aren’t we in a bit of danger by going in here too? The bear could be here!

Man 2: That’s why we have to hang those signs up, so we can warn people from it! You don’t want innocent people get killed, do you?

Man 1:(head hanging low) no…..

Man 2: Good, now help me set those signs up!

The two men, went for one of those trees, the figure was hiding behind. When they were only a few feet away, the figure jumped from it’s hiding, roaring its horrorful roar. The horse Pokemon ran away, scared by the roar. In the distance, you could clearly hear thr roar. If you hear closely, you can hear the two men, screaming their last scream…

¬¬¬

It’s past noon. Ash, Misty and Brock are taking a little walk trough town. Team Rocket wasn’t in the mood for a walk, so they stayed at the Pokemoncenter. Pikachu was slumbering on Ash’s head, and Togepi was chirping hapily in Misty’s arms. They saw Officer Jenny talking with a stranger, some couple of feet away. Brock (the girlcrazy maniac) went absolutely gaga (again v_v) over her. Ash (who are almost himself again, still a bit quiet) and Misty sweatdropped, and it was up to Misty to drag Brock away (again -_-), before he could interrupt Jenny’s conversation. Misty dragged the hormon boy further down the road, with Ash following. When he passed Jenny, he heard a bit of the conversation.

Jenny: ……the men disappeared?…when…..happen?

Guy: …this morning…..blood everywhere…think it’s…..e Ursaring….

Jenny: Again?…what to do?…

Ash froze in place. Did he just hear wrong, or has two men just got killed by a Pokemon?! He couldn’t belive it. Misty noticed that Ash stopped following them. She let go of Brock, and went back to where Ash stood. He had the same mixed nervous/surprised/pale face, he had yesterday. ”Oh no, not again!” she thought.

Misty: Ash, what’s wrong?

Ash:……The Ursaring had killed two men…..

Misty: WHAT?!!! WHEN?!!

Ash:….This morning…..

Brock:(now joined the team) How do you know?

Ash glanced back at Jenny and the stranger (who still talked), answering the question. Brock went gaga over her (again), but Misty got him back to reality. Pikachu just woke up, not understanding what was going on. ”Pikapi, pikachu?? (Ash what’s wrong?)”

Ash:(a bit low) The Ursaring killed two men.

Pikachu: PIKA?!! (WHAT?!!)

Misty: I haven’t even realized it was evil yet, and now it killed two men?!!

Ash:(still low) I don’t think it was the first time….

Misty, Brock and Pikachu looked at Ash surprised.

Misty: W-what do you mean?..

Ash:(looking at Misty) Remember why we came here in the first place?

Brock: So you’re saying…. Oh…. That’s bad…

Misty: BAD?!!! IT’S TERRIBLE!! ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO WAS MISSING ARE MURDERED BY A POKEMON!!!!! (calmed down) (sigh) Well.. guess that we figured out the mystery. I wonder if Jenny figured it out yet…

Ash: I think so…

Jenny and the stranger was now walking towards the trio. Brock was blushing, he thought that Jenny wanted a date with him. Ash, Misty and Pikachu sighed, while Togepi was chirping happilly. Brock stopped blushing, when he noticed that Jenny was looking at Ash.

Jenny: Excuse me. But weren’t you one of them who got chased by the Ursaring yesterday?

Ash: uhh… yeah… why?

Jenny: Well, I want you to tell me, what happened, when you got attacked.

Ash: But I thought that Team Rocket told that to you.

Jenny: Team Rocket? They told me that they were ”Team Raket”

Ash:(sweatdropped) Yeah, that’s what I meant.

Jenny: Well, they did tell me. But I also want your version. I would’ve asked you yesterday, but you didn’t seem too well.

Misty: Who cares about that?! What’s that with the Ursaring killing people?! Why aren’t you doing anything about it?! More innocent people can get killed, if you don’t do anything!

Stranger: It’s not that easy, than you think!

Brock: Why not?

Stranger: Well, I can put it this way. Can you come with an idea, to get rid of that monster?

Brock:……no….

Stranger: Not even one?

Brock:..n-no.

Stranger: Not even killing it?

Brock: WHAT?! NO!

Stranger: Yeah I thought so. That’s what most other people says, but they can’t realize that it’s the only way.

Ash: KILLING A POKEMON?! But you can’t! There must be another way.

Stranger: See what I mean.

Misty: Who are you anyway?

Stranger: I’m the mayor of this town.

Brock: But isn’t this town too small to have a mayor?

Misty: Obviously not.

Jenny: Listen, I know how you guys feel about the situation, but you must understand that this Pokemon has killed over 10 people! Any other human who did something like this would get executed, and since trainers say that you should see Pokemon like you see humans, then they should get the same punishments.

Ash: Yeah, but still….

Misty: I think that I understand now…

Brock looked down at his feet, he was ashamed by this, but he agreed with the situation. But Ash (being the most stubborn one in the group) refused to agree. He still belived that every Pokemon was kindhearted, even though he saw the raging Ursaring, he still belived… Never EVER will he agree to kill a pokemon, even though what Jenny said gave meaning.

Mayor: Listen, I’m holding a meeting today for the townspeople, to find some volunteers help stop that bear from hell. Would you like to join?

The trio was silent. They all had mixed feelings about this. they would like to help stop this plague, but they didn’t want to kill a living being, even if it was on a killing spree. Ash made clear that he didn’t want to have anything to do with it, Pikachu agreed with him, but Misty and Brock still didn’t knew, what to say.

Mayor: Okay, I can see, that you two still don’t know. You can think of it, ’till the meeting begins. It’s in front of the Pokemoncenter at 5.00pm.

And by that, the Mayor and Jenny left the trio. Ash couldn’t belive it! Not even did the mayor want to kill a Pokemon, but he holds a meeting about it, in front of the Pokemoncenter! What nerve! There was a silent moment, ’till Brock began to speak.

Brock: Well, I guess we should head back to the Pokemoncenter, the meeting begins in 3 hours.

Misty: Yeah, I guess….

Then they all headed back to the Pokemoncenter. Ash was a bit mad at his friends, since they still thought about it. How could they be doubting about to kill a pokemon or not. But they were his friends, and he will respect their decision, neither it was good or bad.

The snow was falling yet again. A couple of trainers was walking through the forest. They were watched by a mysterious figure behind the trees. Its eye glowing deadly red. You could hear a terrifying roar, followed by some desperat screams for help…
