Hey Everybody! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was swamped with school. As always, I don't own Pokemon. (Gosh I'm tired of saying that.) Well that's all I have to say! Enjoy the story! Part VI Ash still sat on the edge of a sidewalk, crying for the demolished Cerilian City. He kept thinking to himself……"I should of seen Misty by now…now she is gone with the rest of the town!!" He yelled, while pounding his fist on the ground. "What do I do…I know it was Team Rocket no doubt, but I don't know where they are. This was probably the plans that, Locknile told me…I should of paid more attention…and because of my foolishness, she and the rest of the town is gone…. gone!!!" He yelled as he pounded his fist on the ground even harder. After a few minutes of silence, he got up and said confidently, but angrily, "Don't worry Misty! I'm coming!! I won't let you down…I care for you too much to let you get hurt….Locknile…Get ready for the battle of your life!!!" (Back with Brock and Duplica, searching for Ash.) "Ash! Ash! Where are you!?" Brock, yelled worried. "You can come out! We'll look for Misty together!" Duplica, yelled also worried. "Pika, pikachu chu pika. [Come on, Ash. Don't make us worry.]" They looked for about half an hour, until they spotted Ash walking back to, from which he ran away. Ash stood in front of Brock and Duplica, with a confident look on his face, but still a little with a desolated, despairing look lingering from his distraught moment, from before. "Guys…will you work with me to find Misty?" Ash, said with so much emotion in this one little question, that even though the little value of the words, that it may seem to most people, had power in them, which made him seem that he loved Misty that much more. Brock had lost much confidence, but when Ash said those few words, Brock was filled with a new energy of optimism. "Yes Ash, we will find her, and defeat that crook, Locknile!!" "Yes we will! Team Rocket doesn't know what there up against!" Duplica, said while making a fist in the air, showing off her confident nature, which she is so accustom to showing. With all professed and the habitual natures back to everybody in the group, they roamed the town, looking for clues. They roamed hour after hour, but there was only demolished town. After the third hour they thought they would give up soon. They sat down along a sidewalk that was there, and one of the few things still intact. "Oh my gosh, there isn't a single thing around here…only rubble." Duplica said while sighing. "Don't worry, honey. We will come across something soon." Brock said trying to cheer her up. They sat there for a few more minutes, when they stumbled upon someone particular, or you could say it stumbled upon them. Someone ran across them while they were sitting on the bench!! They didn't know who it was or even if it was a person. It dashed right in front of their eyes. Not, so fast as you would think a Suicune, but it dashed fast enough. They saw it running down the street of rubble. Ash, being the self he is told every body to follow it. "Come on guy's!! Lets follow it!! It could be a clue!!" Everybody then got the idea and ran toward the figure. They ran just fast enough, and quietly, to stay behind it, and for it not to notice them. The kept running, until they saw the figure stop. The figure stomped on the ground in a strange way. Then the figure jumped back, and a big door opened on the ground, that our heroes would of never noticed. A building came out of the ground! It looked like a building with no windows and no doors, that could not be entered, but the mysterious figure knocked on the wall a strange way, and a keypad came out of the wall. The figure punched in some numbers and a door opened! He entered the door. Ash, turned to Duplica and Brock, and said, "Come on guy's. Lets go in! Hurry!" Brock and Duplica nodded, and they rushed inside the door before it closed, and went back into the hole in the ground. When they got inside, it looked very abnormal to them. There were all kinds of passageways. The mysterious man had gotten away from them, but that's all they needed. The traveled through, the passageways and were frightened by them. "Brock, I'm scared. What is this place?" Duplica said, shivering, holding on to his arm. "I don't know honey, but what ever it is, I'm sure we will find out soon." He said while trying to calm her down. "Pi Pikachu Pika [Maybe it has to do with Team Rocket.]" "Good idea Pikachu! If it is Team Rocket, then Misty should be here!" Ash, said with sort of relief, but his mind still with the fact that Misty is locked up here. Then all of a sudden they heard, a noise in the distance!! It sounded like footsteps! It got closer each second! Our heroes were all nervous!! They couldn't find any place to hide, so they got ready with a Poke'ball in each hand! Then when the mysterious footsteps came, they were attached to a Team Rocket Grunt! "So you're the intruders that every body was talking about! Your trip ends here now! Surrender or face a horrible defeat!" He said with anger in his voice. "You think you can defeat Team Rocket! Well we you are wrong! Team Rocket can't be beaten, with our higher posts! And, even me, a grunt, is very strong." "No we won't give up! Get ready for a battle!" Ash said confidently. "Fine with me! You'll be sorry you ever messed with Team Rocket!" The Rocket Grunt held out a Poke'ball and threw it! "Go! Goalbat!" "Goal Goalbat Goal! [Get ready, to battle!]" Ash pointed out on the battlefield. "Go! Pikachu!" "Pi Pikachu! [Let's Go!]" "Go Pikachu! Use Agility!" Ash yelled confidently. Pikachu speeded up until it was difficult to see! "Now Pikachu! Quick Attack!" Pikachu dashed towards Goalbat! "Dodge it, Goalbat!" Goalbat successfully dodged it! "Now use, Air Cutter!" Goalbat swiped its wings and gusted up a blade of air! It hit Pikachu, but it didn't do much damage! "Now Pikachu! Thunder Wave!" Pikachu shot binds of little Thunderbolts to bind and paralyze Goalbat! "Good Pikachu! Now use your Thunderbolt!!!" Pikachu shot a powerful Thunderbolt at Goalbat and it was a direct hit! Goalbat periled to the ground in defeat! "Goalbat! Return!" Team Rocket Grunt held out the Poke'ball and looked at it, angrily. "Useless Pokemon!" He looked at Ash and said, "You think you've won now, oh wait until you face our leader! You'll wish you've never become a Pokemon Trainer!!!" The Rocket Grunt ran off into the profound, polysyllabic, halls. "Well guy's, I guess we know what we are facing… We have to keep our heads up, and battle our hearts out. We have to keep strong, determined…" Ash bent down and let Pikachu jump up in his arms, smiling. "…. And most of all, we have to be one with our Pokemon." Ash turned around to his companions. "Are you guy's with me!?" He stuck out his hand. "Yeah!" Brock said enthusiastically, as he put his hand on Ash's. "We will beat those thugs!" Duplica, said confidently, as she put her hand on Ash's. Ash turned around towards the long hallway, and pointed. "We're coming Misty! You don't have to worry! Locknile, get ready for the battle of your life!!!!!" Did you like it? Please review. I don't know when I will get the next part in. So to everybody, Gotta Catch Ya Later.
