The Forgotten Cards
Pikachu
Part 11b

Thursday January 20, 2005

Sorry for the long hiatus in story writing. I've been quite busy. I kind of warned that this 
might happen. Well, I'm at school right now. Since 8th hour is open for me, I have 2 
hours of type time. Enjoy! ^^

Last time on The Forgotten Cards:

   "What is this place?" Misty asked. Sakura was glancing around.
	
	"I think it's the land of the dragons!" Sakura said. Misty peered over the edge of 
the rock and her eyes became little dots.
	
	"Ummmmmm, Sakuraaaa? You better come take a look at this!" Misty shouted.
Sakura looked over the edge and jumped. They were on a rock inside a volcano! Lava 
was flowing furiously below them, which explained the heat that had been radiating up to 
them.
	
	"YAAAAAAA! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!!" Misty screamed as she clung onto
Sakura.
	
	"Misty, I can't breathe. And no we aren't. We'll get out of this." Just as 
Sakura said that, the rock cracked and gave away.

Now onto the story…

Sakura and Misty screamed as they plummeted faster and faster towards the boiling lava 
churning underneath them. Sakura whipped out a card.
	
	"Shield Card!" Sakura shouted. A silvery cloud erupted from her staff and 
whipped around them. Shortly after, they hit the lava and bounced harmlessly around on 
it. Misty looked as if she was about to pass out. The only thing keeping the lava from 
engulfing them was a thin layer of silver at their feet that was the Shield Card.

	"How do you propose we get out of this??!!" Misty screaming over the 
bubbling sound of the lava. Sakura was thinking hard.

	"Do you think Winter would work? I mean, it is cold but I don't know if it 
would be good enough to freeze at least a foot of this so we could climb up." Sakura 
considered. Misty shrugged.

	"Give it a try. I don't want to be stuck in this inferno until I die." Misty said. 
Sakura nodded and summoned out winter. It blasted its way out in a billowing cloud of 
snow and ice. It made contact with the lava, which was blasted sky high into the air and 
bounced off of the shield. Misty screamed again. Slowly, the lava began to harden. The 
billowing waves of lava began to slow down as ice and snow spread across the whole 
base of the volcano. The harden rock steamed with great smoke jets rocketing out of the 
sky. Finally at long last, the card finished its job and returned. Sakura took a deep breath 
and recalled shield. Their feet planted firmly on the rock but it was starting to steam a 
tad.

	"We don't have a lot of time. Let's hurry up and get out of here." Sakura said. 
They slowly walked across the base and made their way to the edge and began climbing 
up. Below them, some slight heat began to radiate from the rock but Misty and Sakura 
were already a forth of the way up. Misty made the mistake of looking down and almost 
passed out again. The rocks were glowing red and looked as if they would melt any 
minute.

	"Don't pay any attention Misty. Just keep climbing." Sakura encouraged. Misty 
was breathing sharply but tried to gain control. Still climbing slowly, they steadily made 
their way towards the mouth of the volcano. When they had reached three fourths of the 
way up, some of the rock on the base crumbled and gave way to a heat channel. Heat 
blasted up with amazing force but lost some of its steam when it hit them. Still, it didn't 
exactly feel nice to be blasted with heat from a volcano. Now that a channel was open, 
the rest of the rock below them melted rapidly as they made their way up and over the 
mouth of the volcano. Sakura and Misty plopped down with exhaustion.

	"We survived. I can't believe we survived." Sakura gasped. Overcome by 
tiredness, their heads plopped onto the soil below and they fell into a deep sleep.

********************Later…********************

	Misty sheepishly rubbed sleep from her eyes. It was the next morning now and 
the sun peeked through the reddish clouds. Misty for the first time, saw the beauty and 
majesty of the world they had come to. She had seen the dragons the night before but saw 
the complete world they lived in. Great rock perches peeked at different intervals 
throughout the land. Some of the dragons playfully flew around each other and spit mini 
fireballs at their playmates while darting around.

	"Beautiful isn't it?" Sakura asked. Misty jumped and turned around. Sakura had 
a card in her hand. Misty stared at it.

	"Is that the World Card?" Misty asked. Sakura smiled and nodded.

	"It is. I caught it last night when you were sleeping." Sakura explained. Misty 
smiled. Sakura put her hand on Misty's shoulder.

	"Let's go back home." Sakura said. They both grabbed the World Card and a 
faint white glow surrounded them. Slowly, they faded into the land and were transported 
back to the others.
