Chapter 2


       Every few seconds the lightening would light up the inside of the 
mansion. Revealing everything. Ash didn’t know whether to turn his flashlight 
off or leave it on. After that girl had told them there was no way out they 
began to run as fast as they could, now tired and cold they sat on an old dusty 
couch. 
    “Ash”, said Misty with a shiver, “Do you think that girl was right, do you 
think there’s no way out?”.
    “I don’t know Mist, by day light everything will be over, but we can’t sit 
here until then”, said Ash standing up. Misty pulled him back down.
    “Are you joking? What are you trying to get us killed! This was all your 
idea!”, shouted Misty.
    “I’m not just going to sit around here all day, we’d be like sitting ducks, 
we have to get up an move around it we want to find a way out! and if you didn’t 
want to come, you didn’t have too!”, shouted Ash standing up again.
   “Fine, we’ll go looking, but when and if we get out of here, I am not talking 
to you for like a week”, said Misty following him into another hallway.
   “Really? YAY”, said Ash jokingly. Ash pointed his flash light to a sign above 
a door, it read “Mr. Within’s office”. Ash grinned.
   “Ohhh no, if we go in there, I’m giving YOU a lobotomy!”, cried Misty. Ash 
opened the door against her will. There were pictures all over the wall of Dr. 
Within and what seemed to be his lobotomy tools. Not one picture of his family.
  “This is sick.... it’s like he “LIKED” giving people lobotomy’s an possibly 
killing them”, said Ash shining his flash light from picture to picture.
  “Ash, look at this”, said Misty pointing to what seemed to be an award, it 
read “ This certificate is presented to Dr. J. Within for performing an 
outstanding amount of lobotomies in 1 year. Dr. J. Within has a record of 
performing up to 20 lobotomies a day, an only 60% of those people died. these 
Lobotomies were conducted using his favorite tool, an ice pick. Although this is 
a very horrible procedure, DR. Within loved his work as if it were his child”.
  “He was one sick man”, said Ash as the door closed behind him. Ash and Misty 
jumped. They turned around to see a young looking man take off his jacket. Once 
again, Ash could see straight through him. Misty grabbed Ash’s hand. Dr. Within 
turned around and walked to his desk, not yet noticing Ash and Misty. Then he 
did.
  “May I ask why you are in my office”, he said in an abrupt voice.
  “Erm we....ah....we were looking for the way out”, said Ash, backing towards 
the door.
  “The way out? you must be joking”, laughed Dr. Within. Misty gulped.
  “Well, it’s ah....nice meeting you. Bye”, said Misty as she turned an ran, Ash 
followed. They ran and ran until they came to what looked to be a kitchen. It 
looked as if it hadn’t been used in thousands of years. Rats ran around, the 
kitchen was a disaster. 
    “wow, I’d hate to eat here, probably as bad as your cooking”, joked Ash, 
trying to liven up the mood.
   “very funny, come on, let’s just get outta here, I saw 2 huge doors, maybe 
they’re the way out”, said Misty walking out of the kitchen, Ash followed. They 
walked up to two huge brown doors. They had pokemon markings on them.
  “Hope there’s no wild houndour”, joked Ash. They opened the doors and walked 
in. It was pitch black so they figured it wasn’t the way out, but kept going so 
they could see what was in there. Misty rested against the wall.
  “Oh MY GOSH”, shouted Misty jumping forward.
  “what? what’s wrong?”, said Ash running over to her.
  “the wall, it’s wet”, said Misty. Ash shone his light at the wall where  Misty 
had been resting. It was covered in blood. Ash, dropped the flash light.
  “Ash? what‘s going on”, asked Misty picking up the flash light. With out 
answering Ash touched the blood, it was fresh. He heard a noise from behind.
  “Mist”, he whispered, “don’t move a muscle, I have heard that noise before, it 
can‘t be good”. Ash slowly turned around to see a man with a butcher’s knife. 
Once again, Ash could see straight through him.
  “You were in my kitchen”, snarled the man.
  “we...er....we are looking for the....waiting room”, said Misty.
  “No one goes into my kitchen and insults my food, especial one of the 
patients”, glared the man.
  “patients? You got it all wrong, we aren’t patients here”, said Ash with an 
uneasy laugh.
  “Don’t lie boy! no one else is allowed in here”, said the man, taking a step 
towards them.
  “Please believe us, we are just looking for the way out”, said Misty.
  “We all are, but that doesn’t mean you’ll find it”, said the man, taking 
another step closer. He slashed the table with his butchers knife. Ash didn’t 
hesitate, he turned an ran as fast as he could. Misty, stunned by the force of 
the knife couldn’t move.
   “Ash...I can’t move”, said Misty glaring at the knife. Ash didn’t hear her, 
he just kept running. then he turned around an realized she wasn’t following 
him. 
  “MISTY? where are you?”, he shouted. He ran towards the two huge door’s he’d 
just ran out of. They were locked.
  “Let me in!”, shouted Ash, hitting the doors with all his force. They finally 
opened the reveal nobody was in there. He heard a scream from behind. It sounded 
like Misty’s. He turned an ran towards the scream. It led him to the hall they 
first went into. Another scream. Misty’s, for sure. He ran to the door he heard 
it from. It was one of the patient rooms they had entered earlier. He opened the 
door an found Misty shackled to the wall.
  “Ash, help, get me down from here”, she cried.
  “I will, just keep calm”, said Ash trying to open the shackles. They were 
locked. 
  “This was a bad time to of left my pokeball’s at home”, sighed Ash.
  “Will they open? am I stuck? forever?”, said Misty worriedly. 
  “no, don’t worry, I need....an axe, or that butchers knife” said Ash, thinking 
fast.
  “no, don’t you dare leave Ash Ketchum,”, said Misty.
   “I have to go back to the kitchen, you’ll be fine”, said Ash running out the 
door. Misty screamed at the top of her lungs. Her scream echoed around the whole 
mansion. He found the kitchen. He opened a draw to find knifes. All blunt. The 
butcher... he needed the butcher’s knife.
  “I can’t believe this, I’ll never get it off him”, snarled Ash. Another 
scream. This time Misty’s scream sound different. She was screaming for Ash. He 
ran back as fast as he could to see the butcher standing in front of her.
  “I need that knife”, growled Ash walking towards the butcher.
  “Sorry boy, but you’ve just been...”, the butcher began to laugh an pulled of 
his mask to reveal...Brock, “TRICKED”. Brock burst out laughing.
  “You idiot, you think this is funny”, screamed Ash.
   “Just a bit”, laughed Brock, releasing Misty. Misty slapped him.
  “What was that for!” shouted Brock.
  “For being such an idiot, was that you the whole time? with the little girl 
and the doors closing and Dr. J. Within an everything”, shouted Misty.
  “Girl? Dr. Within? that wasn’t me, But I did close a few doors”, laughed 
Brock. 
 “Keep laughing Brocko”, said Ash grabbing one of his hands.
 “Cause you won’t be in a minute”, said Misty grabbing his other hand. The 
pulled him backwards and put him into the shackles.
 “Not laughing now Brocko”, said Ash walking to the door.
 “why not Brock? This is awfully funny.”, said Misty, also walking to the door.
 “And remember something”, said Ash.
 “Jokers Finish Last”, said Ash and Misty in union. They walked out and closed 
the door.
  “Guy’s, your joking right....GUYS?”, shouted Brock. No one answered.
