Hi Everybody! Here is part III. I don’t have much to say, except I don’t own Pokemon and I never will. Enjoy the story. ^_^ Note: I will put up a summary for this soon. Part III When they got to the place where the scream was, they were frightened to the bone, from this horrible wreckage. The whole, east side of town, had been demolished!! It was horrible!! There were people suffering, just lying there, injured very badly! “…Wha…What happened here?…” Locknile said with a shiver in his voice. “The whole place…is demolished…” Misty said the same way. “Who did this?!” Ash, suddenly said angrily. All of a sudden Ash felt a tug on his pant leg. Ash looked down, still angry, and when he saw this, his angry face turned into a frown of sorrow. “Please…please…help us…” A person said from the ground, which had been injured badly, from the destruction. “Big…Big, powerful Pokemon…Mew…Mew…Mewt-“ But, that was his last word, as he dropped, dead. Ash immediately knew what he meant. “That Mewtwo!!” Ash said angrier than ever, “How could he cause destruction of innocent lives, and not have any remorse about it?!!!” “We should go help any survivors, Ash” Misty said. “Good Idea. Locknile, go call an ambulance, and Misty, Pikachu, and I will go find any survivors.” They couldn’t find many survivors. Most of them had already, passed away, because they suffered too much damage. “[Ash…I’m scared] Pikachu, said nervously.” “What are you scared about, buddy?” Ash said, changing his whole attitude to help out his friend. “[If Mewtwo can cause this much destruction…how are we going to bring it down?]” “Pikachu, we all get scared like this, when we are facing our fears, but we have to learn to stand up to them, or we would just be letting more room in for our fears to step in. Mewtwo is powerful, but everybody has a weak point. There is no invincible Pokemon. So don’t back down.” Ash, said with a smile on his face. “[Thanks.]” Pikachu said with a smile. But, their faces were immediately serious again, when they were back to finding any survivors. They were looking for about a quarter of an hour, but they couldn’t find any people that had made it though, this horrible attack. It was like a wasteland. No life. No spirit. No tranquility…Just waste…the feeling of dread surrounding you. Which made you feel sadness…pain…fear…it made you think about what you have. What you are thankful for in your life. The simple things…people really never appreciate the simple things, like taking a nice walk, on a tranquil day, taking a nice relaxing bath, even sleeping. You never realize how wonderful those things are…until they’re gone…until you are banished from the experience that would of made your life seem so pleasant…full of spirit…full of tranquility. * I wonder if any of these people had those same realizations? * Ash thought. After a bit more of searching, it seemed they had lost all hope. There was no one to be found alive…all, had passed on. “Why…why could a Pokemon do this?” Locknile said, “There are no evil Pokemon…they can only do evil things for their trainers.” “But, that Pokemon was different…different from any other Pokemon.” Misty said, “…It didn’t seem natural.” “[It didn’t seem natural to me at all. It acted with out feeling…almost like a robot, that was programmed to kill…]” Pikachu said. “No matter what,” Ash said, “It will pay…but maybe…just maybe, it isn’t its fault.” He said, with a look of realization on his face. “Maybe, he’s just like you, Locknile.” Ash, said looking back at him. “Do you think, he is being controlled by Giovanni, like you were?” “All I really know is that it was made by him. Giovanni is controlling him, but I don’t know if it is for reasons like me…it just seems like that monster is naturally evil…” Why they were discussing this, little did they know that a shadow was watching them, out of sight from our heroes. It moved along, behind the buildings that were still standing, out of sight, still. It kept going around in circles, getting closer each time around, our heroes. When the shadow was close, it walked up to them, looking like it was looking around for something, like it was being stalked. While everybody was still talking, Ash caught a quick glance of the shadow person, and jumped up immediately with a Poke’ball at hand! “Who are you and what do you want?! Ash said with caution, and a slight bit of anger in his voice. Both Misty and Locknile were behind Ash, with a Poke’ball at hand. The cloaked person came into brighter light. Now everybody could see what the cloaked figure looked like. “Not so loud!” The cloaked figure said, with exclamation, but not loud. “I am not a threat. I know of your situation, and I am here to help.” They could tell that the cloaked figure was male. His entire body was covered, even his face, in a big brown overcoat. All you could see was his eyes. They looked mysterious. He had a big black hat on his head. “How do we know, you are not a threat?” Misty said. “You have to trust me on this! I am wanted, by Team Rocket. I have to go undercover to avoid being spotted, by them. I am totally against Team Rocket. I know of your situation, so I have come with some information.” “[I think he’s telling the truth]” Pikachu whispered into Ash’s ear. Ash immediately gathered the group in to a circle. After some talking, they were back in their original positions. “Ok, we trust you.” Ash said with a smile on his face. “Thank you.” He said with a smile, but you couldn’t see it due to the over coat. “I have some information for you. I know you have encountered and seen the damage of the horrible creature, called Mewtwo. This monster was created by Giovanni, himself. He thought, what he was getting into was good, but he would regret it. After much toil, he finally created this monster. But, immediately when the monster awoke, it went on a rampage. It caused destruction to the whole lab. It was a monster. It killed all the scientists that were working on it. It was about to kill Giovanni, but after some words from Giovanni, Mewtwo took things into a different perspective. Giovanni had made a deal, with Mewtwo that they would team up, to cause world destruction, seeing that this monster was created to cause destruction. But, since Mewtwo didn’t, yet, fully trust Giovanni, and Mewtwo knew it was much more powerful than Giovanni, Mewtwo was threatening to kill him, unless he followed its orders. “But, that doesn’t make sense,” Ash interrupted, “When we encountered Mewtwo, it was acting like Giovanni was the leader, like it was the one being controlled. It said, if we messed with Giovanni’s plans, that we would pay.” “That does baffle me a bit.” The cloaked man said. “…Hmmm…” The cloaked man sat down closed his eyes, and started to think. While he was thinking, Ash was thinking also, * Where have I heard his voice before? It seems so familiar. Well, it doesn’t matter now. I’m just glad he’s helping us. * Locknile, Misty, and Pikachu were thinking the same thing, but they didn’t talk about it. After about three minutes, the cloaked man got up. “I can think of no reason, why Mewtwo would do that. You will just have to be more of caution, as you travel along.” He said seriously. “Giovanni is moving around the region constantly, he may even move into new regions, like the Johto and Hoenn regions. If I have any more information, I will come to tell you immediately. I have to move along now. I’ve already been here long enough. Be of caution. There are many of Giovanni’s spies, around every corner. They are very dangerous.” He said seriously. “I will see you again.” The cloaked man turned around and walked until out of sight from our heroes. “Ash,” Locknile said, “We have to be of caution, of every thing the cloaked man mentioned. I feel from now on, things will get more serious. We have to be on full alert. Even when we sleep, we have to have someone be out at watch. We can take shifts during the night. Do you three understand? Ash, Misty, and Pikachu nodded. “[We don’t have to be afraid at all,]” Pikachu said while looking at Ash, [As long as we stick together, nothing will come between us.] Ash smiled, remembering their little discussion earlier. “You are one-hundred percent right, buddy. Are we all in?” Ash said, while putting his hand out. “All the way.” Misty said putting her hand on top of Ash’s. “All the way.” Locknile said putting his hand on top of Misty’s. “[All the way.]” Pikachu said putting his hand on top of Locknile’s. Now that our heroes were more aware of their companionship, they have become closer, and more of a team. They will stick together through all of the hard times, and enjoy all the good times. They have met a new companion that will help them through all they persist. And, who knows, who it is. All that really matters is that they are one step closer to saving Locknile’s family. They will never quit being a team. Enjoyed the story? There is only one way to tell me, and that is to review. Gotta Catch Ya Later!
