Chapter 2 Ka-BAM!!The explosion blew a hole threw the side of the building.Out of the smoke and debri Ash was falling from the top floor of the building.A few seconds after the explosion knocked him unconsious temporarily,he came to."Crap!"he yelled.He was about one hundred stories from the ever aproaching ground."Oh man,oh man"he mumbled as he reached into his backpack."Pikachu,my whip!"Pikachu handed him his whip from inside his pack. Ash gripped it tightly and snapped it upward.The steel and leather whip wrapped around a poll sticking out from the side of the building.Ash was dangling 900 feet from the ground,but at least he was alive.He sighed a breath of relief.The relief was short lived,though,as another explosion tore a hole in the building a few stories up.A red-headed girl fell out of the gaping hole,screaming."Crap, Misty!"he yelled as she fell past him.Ash quickly grabed her hand as she fell past."N-nice catch,Ash,"she said. Ash looked down at the long haired girl(she wears her hair down)and said,"That was a little TO close,"back at her. Misty gulped."So,uh,how do we get down?"she asked. "That's what I was trying to figure out untill you showed up,"he said back,harsher than he intended."Wait a minute," he said,"if you could climb up my arm,I could use it to get my pokeballs."Misty reached up to grab his arm with both hands and with much difficulty,she was finally able to wrap her arms around Ash.His heart skipped half a dozen beats. After years of travling with Misty,he finally realized he had deeper fellings for her.Not that he could ever tell her that. With his now free hand,he reached down to grab two pokeballs from his belt and threw them down.They opened,revealling Charizard and Pidgeot.Misty let go of Ash and dropped on to Pidgeot.Ash also let go of his whip and dropped on to Charizard.Then,after retreaving Ash's whip,they flew away from the building and landed on the roof of a nearby building.After stepping of,Misty asked,"Do you think Lance and Brock are all right?"As if to answer her question,two more explosions burst out of the Federation building.Out of the first one,an older boy leaped out.After falling about 50 feet,he opened a pokeball reveiling a giant Onix.When they hit the ground,the rocksnake pokemon burrowed underground,absorbing the shock that would have killed his trainer."There's Brock now,"Ash said.From the second explosion,a rocky flying pokemon flew out.It carried a 15 year old trainer with spiky,golden hair.After a few seconds,the trainer hurled two capsules at the building creating two more explosions."And that.....would be Lance,"Misty said.Lance had a tendancy to overdo things. It took about five minutes to get the four rebels reunited. "Did you get it?"Lance asked."Oh yeah,big time,"Ash replied,rubbing the back of his head."He means the disk stupid!"Misty said."Oh.Yeah,I got it.Right here,"he said, slipping the disk out of his pouch."Great.Now lets get out of here before the Feds. find us,"Brock said
