Up To Them
Pikachu
Part 4
Saturday June 5, 2004

School’s almost out! I can’t wait! Expect tons of updates from me I hope. 
Well, here’s the next part!

	“What do you mean we can’t see the President??” Ash yelled. 2 very large 
security guards were blocking their way into the White House.

	“We need to see a pass saying you are allowed in.” One of the guards told 
them.

	“Look, we have a way to stop that meteor with powers!” Misty said. The 
guards looked at each other and laughed.

	“Powers. That’s a good one. Why don’t you kids go home now?” The guards 
said.

	“But we-“Ash began.

	“Go home or we’ll place you under arrest.” They said firmly. Ash and Misty 
looked at each other and turned around and went back in their car and sped 
off.

	“I can’t believe it failed. We should have known it would be too easy.” 
Misty said finally as they went speeding through Ohio.

	“We’re just going to have to train ourselves. If we don’t in 50 days, we’re 
going to be goners.” Ash said. The rest of the way back to Minnesota was 
quiet as Ash and Misty had nothing to say to each other.

	“Just how are we going to train ourselves?” Misty asked as they pulled into 
her driveway.

	“Find huge boulders. I’m sure there are places around here where we can 
find decent sized boulders.” Ash said.

	“Ash. You keep forgetting the size of this thing! It’s not a tiny boulder!” 
Misty said.

	“I know. That’s why we’re going to work on throwing the boulder farther 
every time. The farther we throw it, the more strength we have.” Ash said.

	“I suppose that does make some sense. Can we master our powers in time 
though?” Misty asked.

	“Let’s hope so. Well, I’ll see you in the morning. Try and get some good 
night’s sleep.” Ash said. He then walked out of Misty’s door and drove away. 
Misty watched for a minute and hopped in her car as well and drove off to a 
boulder field where she was sure Ash was heading. Sure enough, as the first 
stars were popping out in the sky, she saw Ash’s car also pull into the 
field.

	“I had a feeling you were going to come here.” Misty said.

	“It’s best to start practicing now isn’t it?” Ash said.

	“I guess. Why don’t we start with that one over there?” Misty said, 
pointing to a boulder about 40 feet high and 30 feet long.

	“Okay. Concentrate hard.” Ash said as he put his hands out in front of him. 
Misty did the same. Nothing was happening.

	“I don’t know about this Ash.” Misty said.

	“You need to focus everything on the boulder. Come on.” Ash said. Misty 
sighed and put her hands out again. Nothing. Suddenly though, the boulder 
began to glow white around the edges. With hard effort, Ash and Misty 
concentrated even harder and it rose a couple feet in the air before they 
became tired and it crashed back down.

	“Well, that was a start.” Ash said, panting.

To be continued…

Okay. The next few parts are going to be leading up to them getting 
stronger. I hope this wasn’t too boring. Review! ^_^
