Jokers Finish Last DISCLAIMER: sorry, I don’t own pokemon, but, I have talked top veronica Taylor before!! Rating: PG-13, Contains material that some reader may find SCARY! Unusually for Pallet Town the weather was bad. The sky as black as night, even though it was only 9am. The thunder rumbling like someone was dropping huge boxes of bricks. The rain was so thick you couldn’t see more then 3 foot in front of yourself. Ash, Misty and Brock sat in the living room boredly. With a heavy sigh Brock turned on the television. The news mans statement caught ash, misty and Brocks attention. “Hello, I’m here at Corington Mansion; a nearby neighbor claimed to have heard noises of pain an suffering coming from the old, condemned mansion, here’s what she has to say”, said the news man giving the microphone to a young girl about Brocks age. “I heard screaming an shouting, it was....horrible, my boyfriend went in to see what was going on but he came out shaking an he couldn’t talk about it, someone, anyone who’s brave enough to go inside an see what happened or what is happening, please I beg you”, said the girl in a shaky voice. Ash looked thoughtfully. “I have a plan”, said Ash, with an evil grin, “There’s been no excitement around here lately, an Pokemon trainers month isn’t over for 3 more weeks, I say we take this adventure while we can!”. Misty glared at him. “Ash, that could be dangerous”, she shivered, “You heard her....there was screaming...an....shouting.....I don’t think I’d be able too”. They continued to watch the news. “I doubt anyone will take this task, but we hope this mystery gets solved before Pallet gets a reputation of horror, this is Kevin Chasy, signing off for the Pallet New brigade”. “Please Misty, It will be fine....PLEASE”, begged Ash. Misty sighed an grabbed her coat. “Hey, don’t forget me”, smiled Brock grabbing his coat. They ran as fast as they could to the mansion, soaking wet, they noticed the news van was just about to leave. They ran faster. “Wait, wait, we are here, we’ll go in”, shouted Ash. The newscaster grabbed his microphone and the turned on the camera. “NEWS FLASH! 3 teenagers have just agreed to take on this task, whoa re you an why are you doing this?”, asked Kevin Chasy. “Hi, I’m Ash, and these are my friends Misty and Brock, we have decided this is the adventure we have been waiting for!”, said Ash, happily. “Aren’t you scared?”, asked Kevin. “Just a little, more worried if this old hell hole will stay standing in the storm”, said Misty. “Don’t worry, it’s perfectly safe, do you children know what this mansion was used for in the 19th century?”, asked Kevin. “No....”, said Ash, Misty and Brock in union, worriedly. “It was once a mental institution, A lunatic asylum”, said Kevin. Ash and Misty gulped while Brock laughed. “A...Lunatic Asylum....forget it, you wouldn’t get me in there for 1 million dollars” said Brock laughing uneasily. “What? your not going? Brock come on, we may need you!”, said Ash. “Dude listen, I went in an abandoned asylum once, with 3 of my friends, but only 2 of us came out”, said Brock. “ASH!”, cried Misty, “You and your stupid plans!”. “Are you chickening out on me too?”, said Ash angrily. “No, of course not, I’m just freaked out”, said Misty worriedly. “You guys go ahead, I’ll stay here an wait”, said Brock. “CHICKEN”, growled Ash. “AM NOT”, shouted Brock. Ash made some chicken noises as he an Misty stepped up to the mansion door. “you’ll pay Ash”, said Brock watching them go in. As soon as they stepped into the mansion a deadly cold hit them. It didn’t quite look like an asylum. The room they had just stepped into was a huge open area with about 4 hallways, 2 on each side and 2 staircases, 1 on each side, in-between each hall way. Dust covered every surface as if it were a grayish sheet. Another cold wind blew past them, it felt like a snowy wind. “Ash, this doesn’t look so bad”, said Misty. “Yea, I know, Brock doesn’t know what he’s talking about”, said Ash walking towards one of the hallways. Misty followed. “Don’t leave me, we have to stay together”, said Misty . “ I know”, said Ash looking around. The hallway they had entered had doors on each side, it looked as if it went on forever. Every door was closed. “Sh...should we go in one”, said Ash, now feeling a little scared. “I guess”, said Misty following him into one. Ash got out his flashlight and turned it on. Just the look of the room made Ash and Misty jump. There were shackles on the wall wear they used to restrain their patients. There was a bed in one corner of the room. It was so dusty you couldn’t tell weither dust covered it or a sheet. The was a cupboard by the side of the bed. Ash grinned. He opened the cupboard. “Ash, don’t, please let’s just go to another room”, said Misty. “Mist, come on, let’s just see if there’s anything in there”, said Ash looking through it, meanwhile Brock was planning revenge. “I need to find someone who’s good with jokes and pranks”, sighed Brock, He heard a voice from behind. “Well you just found one”, Brock turned to see the same girl who reported the sounds, “ I can’t believe they bought this “screaming and shouting” thing”, laughed the girl. “You mean, nothing happened”, said Brock. “Not one singly thing, I wasn’t even home last night, if your looking for a jokester, you just found one”, smiled the girl. “Well then, maybe you can help me pull some pranks”, said Brock, “my friends that just went into the asylum are expecting nothing to happen, want to pull some pranks?”. “sure, I got some idea’s, they’ll never know what hit them”, grinned the girl. Meanwhile back in the mansion they were already having some Problems. “AHH”, screamed Misty hiding behind a rock. An old book had been thrown across the room, but no one was there except Ash and Misty. Ash who was currently laying one the floor with his hands over his had got up. “What was that....”, asked Ash quietly. Misty felt something icy cold touch her back she jumped up an ran to Ash. “I wanna get out of here”, she cried. “M...me too”, said Ash grabbing her hand an running as fast as he could towards the main room. they ran and ran until they came to a black door with a sign that said “Lobotomy Room”. “Lobotomy....ASH GET US OUT OF HERE”, screamed Misty. “Misty, shut up....”, said Ash whispering, “Do you hear that?”. “hear what?”, whispered Misty. “footsteps....”, said Ash slowly turning around to see who was behind him, expecting to see nothing he saw a young girl, she looked about 12 years old, she he could see straight through her. It became so cold Ash and Misty’s breath became visible. “Misty, on the count of 3 run” whispered Ash, “1” “2”, said Misty. “3....RUN”, screamed Ash running as fast as he could into the lobotomy room and locking the door behind them. Ash looked out the little window then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was gone. “A...Ash, turned around”, said Misty, her voice breaking with fear. Ash turned around to see a doctors bed an a table full of shape looking tools.... then he saw the girl they had just ran from, his eyes widened. “Don’t be afraid, Dr. Within has gone for the time being, we are safe”, smiled the girl. “D...Dr. Within? Who...is he?”, asked Misty, her voice breaking even more now. “The lobotomy doctor, don’t you remember? hasn’t he ever given you a lobotomy? Well you are still alive so I guess not”, smiled the girl. “A few times.... it would have only been once but....I’m trapped”, said the girl. “c...can you help us get out of here?”, asked ash, his voice now beginning to break. The girl laughed. “get out? Ha, once your in, your in”, laughed the girl floating through the wall. Ash and Misty looked at each other. To Be Continued...... So? whatja think? Sick huh?
