Chapter 2: Signs and Resentment Ash stopped running and turned around, everyone was out of site. he walked slowly on, thinking. Brock, who wasn’t far behind, also began walking, as not to get too close to Ash. Ash couldn’t believe his luck, first Pikachu decides to live with his mother for a few years, then Misty gets in trouble... live threatening trouble. Ash opened up his map. Kayla City was about 10 miles away, he could make that before night. But Kayla forest was uncharted. Did it even exist.... or did Misty’s sister just not want him to know where she is. He decided to get to Kayla City, stay in a Pokemon center, then go into Kayla Forest the next morning. He began running, as to pick up time again. It took him about 2 hours to get to Kayla City. It was a large city, much like New York. He wondered around looking for the Pokemon center. It was in the very middle of the town. A Huge Pokeball shaped building. Ash went up to the counter. “Nurse Joy, Hello, anyone there?’, shouted Ash. A Nurse Joy finally came out. “hello, how may I help you?”, asked Nurse Joy. “A room please” “OK, here’s the keys to number 7, right down the hall, enjoy your stay”, said Nurse Joy walking off again. “Hmm, 7, must be my lucky day”, said Ash with a little smile. Ash walked into his room, threw his backpack on the ground and jumped on the bed. “So tired”, he whispered to himself as he drift to sleep. He straight into dream mode. * dream* He was walking down a dark path in the woods. The sky was pitch black, the only light was off the moon. A SCREAM! Ash turns around quickly.....it sounds like Misty..... ANOTHER SCREAM..... defiantly daisy’s preppy scream. Ash runs in the direction of the scream....he stops to see Giovanni laugh evily. There on the ground lay Misty and Daisy bodies. Giovanni points the gun at Ash’s head.... is about to pull the trigger... *Dream ends and Ash jumps up* Just before Giovanni pulls the trigger Ash jumps up. He turns around and looks at the clock.... it’s 6: 32 a.m. He breathes a sigh of relief and runs his fingers through his hair, then gets out of bed. He was so shaken from the dream, he forgot where the key was. As soon as he found it he ran and gave it to Nurse Joy. “Nurse Joy, do you know where Kayla Forest is?”, asked Ash. “Yes, go passed Rindy’s, and out the back exit of the City, and there it is....I wouldn’t suggest you go in there though”, said Nurse Joy, with a shiver. “Why not?”, asked Ash, worriedly. “It’s best you don’t know....just...be careful”, said Nurse Joy, walking away. “Err....ok”, said Ash, turning for the door. He began to run again....Passed Rindy’s and out the exit...... there it was..... Kayla Forest...It actually wasn’t that big. In fact Rather small. Obviously, this was good news for Ash. He began to run towards the forest.... All of a sudden he crashed into a something. An old man. “Child,... where are you going?” asked the man. Ash was now angry. “Into the forest”, said Ash. “This forest.... the one behind me.....but why?”, Ash sighed. “I can’t tell you why..... now if you’ll excuse me”, said Ash pushing past and running into the forest. “Stupid boy....”, snarled the old man, walking into the city. Ash ran and ran until he heard noises. People talking. Ash quietly approached where the talking was coming from..... It was defiantly girls voices. Ash peeked over the bush, expecting to see some of Giovanni’s warriors. Instead.... it was Daisy and a Blue haired girl. Ash run out. “Daisy?”, shouted Ash. “Ash? like oh my gosh, what are you doing here”, said Daisy running over to Ash. “Looking for Misty, your sisters said you were here”, smiled Ash. “Ah...Misty....well see.... she’s not here”, said Daisy, uneasily. ‘What? where is she?”, asked Ash worriedly. “Giovanni got her....’, said Daisy sadly. Ash felt like screaming. “Will he...kill her?”, asked Ash, as if he were about to cry. “ No, I doubt he’d do that”, smiled the blue haired girl, “I’m Shan, and Giovanni, is my brother....he wouldn’t do that”. “Where is Giovanni?”, asked Ash angrily “I don’t know”, sighed Shan. “I’m going to find her”, said Ash turning away. “Like, but you don’t even know where Giovanni is?”, said Daisy. “I know.... but I have an idea.... and if I’m wrong, Team Rocket (Jesse & James) will help, they owe me anyway”, said Ash turning away. “Hey, when you see my brother, tell him I know he has a heart....somewhere”, smiled Shan. Ash smiled back. “I will”, Ash said as he turned an ran. The sun was beginning to set, he had been running for a long time. He stopped to take a break, and lent against a tree. He felt something soft against his back. He sat up and turned around to see a piece of Misty’s pink coat. He ripped it off the tree and starred at it in surprise. “she’s not far away.....she can’t be”, said Ash standing up and beginning to run again. Meanwhile at Cerulean Gym..... “I swear, if my Brock gets hurt, I’ll never forgive Ash”, growled Kimi. “Calm down, I’m more worried at Misty and Daisy”, sighed Lilly. “This is ALL Misty’s fault.... she must have done something bad for this Giovanni dude to want her dead....”, said Kimi, meanly, “And now, Brock might end up getting hurt for it”. “Don’t you get it!! Brock isn’t in danger, Ash is now....don’t you care about Ash at all? I thought you were his friend”, snarled Violet. “I thought you were his friend”, said Kimi, mimicking Violet, “ OH whatever, all he ever talked about was Pokemon and Misty....I mean Hello”. “Do you even care what happens to Misty?”, asked Lilly. “I didn’t even know the chick so, no”, smiled Kimi. Violet and Lilly looked at her in disgust. “Kimi, your a sick chick”, snarled Lilly, as she and Violet walked away. Kimi shrugged it off and went to sit outside. To Be Continued......
