Hey Everybody! I have decided the continuation of the story. This is the last part, but it will continue with a second novel. Once you read this part, you will understand why I have planed a second story. In addition, once again, I don’t own Pokemon. Enjoy the story. Part IX Tytranitar had fainted, and the battle was over. Locknile had a look of many feelings right now. In one, little expression he showed, hate, fear. He showed so many emotions at once, that he dropped to his knees……and started to cry… A reaction that Ash and friends never thought he would bestow. Ash looked seriously at Locknile, feeling many mixed emotions as well. He was angry with Locknile, very much…but Ash started to feel compassion for him… It was like he could sense that he was distraught…and could see much deeper. Ash could sense a feeling in Locknile that was more than evil…maybe…just maybe…all of this…isn’t his fault. “Locknile…” Ash, whispered. He paused for a moment, then got up, and went over to a wall. He entered a code on the keypad, and pressed a red button. To Ash’s surprise, the button opened a roof, leading outside, and the button also opened a space in the wall and Misty came out, not in her chains. “Misty!” Ash yelled as he ran over to her. When Ash got to her, she started to wake up, from her faint stage. “…A…Ash…is that you?” Misty said faintly, but still recovering. When she saw Ash, and knew it was him, she popped up. “Ash! It is you,” she said brightly. “I knew you would come…” But, just then, she started to feel faint again, and collapsed in to his arms. “Misty! Are you all right?!” Brock, Duplica, Pikachu, Jessie, James, and Meowth, all came over to where he was. Brock put a hand on his shoulder, and said, “She will be all right. She is just really tired.” Ash nodded and smiled. “Brock? Will you watch Misty for me…I think I need to talk to Locknile…” “Ash! I don’t know if that is a good Idea! He could just be playing a trick!” Ash looked into Brock’s eyes seriously. Brock now could sense Ash’s sureness. “Ok, but just be careful.” Ash nodded and walked towards Locknile’s direction. “Locknile…why…why are you crying?” “Just leave me alone!! Take your girlfriend and just get out of here!!!” Locknile said angrily, still crying. “Why…why are you talking to me anyways?!” “Well…you just let us go…there has to be something wrong.” “Why do you want to help me?!…I put you through so much pain…” “Because…I know what it feels like to be like this…to be in pain…the pain you put me through has showed me how much I loved Misty. Though, I’m still very, very, angry with you for putting Misty through all that pain!…I can’t bear to see a person in any kind of pain. Why do you cry so?” “Well…even though I act like I act big and bad, and it may seem I don’t care for my Pokemon at all…I do.” Ash was looking at Locknile very seriously through his despair. “I really do care for them…It’s just that evil Giovanni!! He’s making me do all this!!!! He said if I don’t do all the tasks I did…that he would kill my family…” Ash, suddenly felt even more compassion for him now. “I’m really sorry…I can’t keep on doing this to you…and see my Pokemon go through the same pain…so go now! Before, Giovanni finds out that you survived, and he destroys you!! He is a much stronger trainer than me!! Very much stronger!!!” Everybody was listening, now, to Locknile’s explanation. Misty was still unconscious from the abuse before, but she would be fine too. Every body was starting to feel compassion for Locknile now. Then all of a sudden Ash got an Idea. An idea that would put him on another adventure of a lifetime. As they were having the conversation, Misty was starting to wake!! Ash noticed this and told Locknile he would be back in a sec. He immediately ran over to Misty. “Misty! Are you alright?!!” “Ash!” Misty screamed as she threw her arms around him. “I’m so glad you’re here! This evil person has captured me an abused me!! Have you defeated him?!!!” Misty was asking with more anger and anticipation in each question. “Misty, calm down. Everything is alright.” Ash said assuring. “But, I’m so glad to see you!! Are you feeling alright?!” “I’m a little sore, but I’m just fine. You probably took care of that Locknile guy good.” “Misty…Locknile isn’t what you think he is.” “What do you mean?” “He isn’t evil…it seems the evil is protruding him.” Ash finished explaining what was going on to Misty, and then Misty understood. “We should help him out…it’s not fair to him…all he was doing was trying to protect his family.” “That’s what I thought. We should help him.” They went over to Locknile, to tell him the wonderful news. “Thank you guy’s…and Misty…I’m sorry for handling you like this…I was just trying to protect my family.” “I understand, Locknile…” “You guy’s need to go back home for a few day’s,” Said Locknile, “to recuperate. Giovanni is a long way’s away from here.” Locknile looked up towards the sky. It seemed now he was in a trance. He held a fist up. “We will get you back, Jenny…James…Mary…we will all get you back!” (Over to Ash and Misty) Ash and Misty are having a private conversation. “Ash…thank you for coming all this way to rescue me…that was really brave of you…most people wouldn’t of done that…especially for me. Thank you…” Misty said, as she stared into Ash’s eyes. “I didn’t do this all alone…Brock, Duplica, Pikachu…even Jessie and James helped me. I couldn’t of made it through with out them…I rescued you because…I could bear to see you in pain…after I learned that you were held captive……it was like an alarm went off inside of me…that Locknile was a menace…but it wasn’t his fault…I couldn’t bear to see you pain…………I love you… “…I love you too Ash.” She said as tears started to form in here eyes. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” “I’m just so happy…I’ve loved you ever since the first day I met you…but never had the heart to tell you.” “It doesn’t matter now…we are together now, and that is all that matters.” They both paused…looked into each others eyes…looking…looking…getting closer…closer…and they fell into a deep kiss, marking their life ahead of them…what they would persist through life with each other…some good…some not good…but they love each other so much, that they will try to over look those bad things, and look forward to the good ones. They were happy, and would be that way forever. Their hearts will always leap with joy!! It may seem like their adventures are over…but it’s just the beginning. Though Ash and Misty are back together, they have agreed to help Locknile rescue his family, from the evil clutches of Giovanni. They will still endure hardships, but try to overcome them. There are still some sad hearts, that are still crying, but some hearts are now leaping with joy…now it is their job to help the crying, so that everybody will be happy, and all sadness in the world will leave. It is a quest of arduous effort, but with teamwork and perseverance, they will be successful, and make the world happy. “Look out! Giovanni!” Everybody yelled, “You’re going down!!!” How did you like the story? As you can tell, this is the end of “The Cry of a Lonely Heart,” but it isn’t the end of their adventures (That is why I didn’t put an epilogue), as you can see the reasons in this part. There won’t be an epilogue till the end of the second novel. I have a pretty good story line lined out, but I haven’t come up with a title, for continuation of this novel. So that’s all I have to say. Please Review.
