THE QUEST FOR MISTY'S CRYSTAL

	Wind Dancer flapped harder than ever agasined the rain and wind. A 
lightning bolt struck the sky and lit it up behind them. Thunder boomed and 
echoed though the air. Ash clung onto the silver mane of the horse.
	"Were almost there! Wind Dancer, turn left!" May shouted over the thunder 
and wind.
	Wind Dancer did as told. She had trouble, but was able to turn and find 
the castle. Ash felt Pikachu and Gato stick there heads out of his back pack.
	"I thought we would never make it." Gato said.
	"Pikachu."
	They got to the castle.
	"Okay, land in the back of it and under its roof." May said.
	Wind Dancer flew around and did just that. They landed right next to the 
door. Wind Dancer pushed it opened and trotted in. Her hooves clicked on the 
cement floor. Ash and May got off the wet horse and Wind Dancer shook herself of 
water. Pikachu and Gato jumped from Ash's back pack, dry as ever.
	"That's the way to fly." Gato said.
	"Come on. I see the others." May called in a whisper.
	They all went to the middle of the room and sure enough, the others were 
there. They were also soaked and wet. All the queens still in there battle 
forms.
	"To bad Saraya and Ray didn't come." Blaze said.
	"They have to take care of Misty." Nina said.
	"Okay, what's the plan?" asked Gato.
	"Amy's on it right now." Mel said.
	They all looked over at Amy. She had a blue visor over her eyes. She held 
a laptop computer in her left hand and typed fast with her right. Yellow, red 
and orange lights flash in the visor. Amy looked up and around as more lights 
flashed.
	"I've found where Catze is, follow me." Amy said.
	They all began to walk down a long dark hallway. Amy's computer beeped and 
clicked. 
	"The plan is, we fight and keep Catze busy, you grab the Heart Crystal and 
run. Wind Dancer will then take you home. Don't worry about us." Lita told Ash.
	"Okay." Ash agreed.
	"And what ever you do, be very careful with that crystal. Treat it like 
its your life. If it breaks, well, you know what will happen." Erika said.
	Ash didn't even want to think about it. Amy stopped and so did the others. 
She closed her computer with a snap and it disappeared. Her visor did as well.
	"Catze is in this room. Wait for a single, Ash before soming in." Amy 
said.
	"What is it?" asked Brock.
	"You'll see Lita's lightning bolts." May said.
	"Got it." Ash said.
	The queens went into the room and disappeared. Fighting was soon herd.
	"Pikachu pi?" 
	"Yes Pikachu, we have to go to." Gato told the mouse Poke'mon.
	Pikachu looked nervous. Wind Dancer snorted at the electric Poke'mon and 
Pikachu ran onto Ash's shoulder. Suddenly, blue lightning bolts exploded from 
the area.
	"Let's got." Brock said.
	They pushed open the door and looked around the room fast. Ash saw the 
Heart Crystal floating in a glass cover. He and Brock ran to it and lifted the 
glass. Ash grabbed the crystal and ran to Wind Dancer. Pikachu and Gato already 
sat on the horse. Catze saw them.
	"Fools! Come back!" she yelled and shot a black ray at them.
	Wind Dancer turned to the ray and stuck her horn out. It hit the horn and 
was conducted into it. Wind Dancer then shot the ray out and hit Catze. She 
cried in pain and sank to the ground. The queens began to attack her. Brock and 
Ash got on with the crystal. Wind Dancer flapped her wings and took off. She 
crashed though a giant window. Glass flew every where. Ash held the crystal 
tight in his hand. Black rays were shot but all missed. Suddenly, Catze appeared 
in from of them in the air. Wind Dancer couldn't stop and ran right into her. 
Ash and Brock held on best the could. Ash had trouble holding on to both the 
crystal and Wind Dancer's mane. Suddenly, the crystal was snatched from Ash's 
hand. Wind Dancer was able to recover and she turned to Catze, who held the 
crystal.
	"Give it back!" Ash yelled at her.
	Catze floated in the air and rain. She smiled.
	"For what?" she asked. 
	"Anything!" Ash cried.
	Catze's black visor appeared and she searched. She then found her target 
again. Her visor disappeared.
	"For your Heart Crystal." she told Ash.
	"Fine!" Ash agreed.
	"No! What are you doing Ash!?" Brock cried.
	Wind Dancer flew fast and hit Catze with her head and horn. The crystal 
was knocked from Catze's grasp and Gato caught it.
	"Get out of here Wind Dancer!" Ash yelled to the horse.
	She flapped and turned hard. With amazing speed, she flew off into the 
dark clouds. When Catze returned to the room where she was, the queens were 
gone. She shrugged.
	"Master Tigra will be more happy that I found what she wants." Catze said 
and disappeared.
	Meanwhile, Ash and the others had made it back safe and sound. Ray greeted 
them all with Saraya and Mew.
	"You all are wet and hurt!" Ray gasp when she saw the other queens.
	Ash got off Wind Dancer and went to Ray.
	"I got Misty's Heart Crystal back. Where is she?" Ash asked.
	Ray pointed to a room and Ash went in it with everyone following. Everyone 
entered and watched Ash knee down to Misty's bed. He held the Heart Crystal over 
Misty's chest and let it got. The crystal floated down and disappeared into her 
chest. Misty's eyes slowly opened.
	"What...happened?" she asked Ash.
	Ash smiled and stood up. Gato jumped into Misty's arms.
	"Your all right now." Ash said to her.
	Misty blinked and sat up. Ray and everyone else smiled. Mew did a happy 
back flip in the air.
	"That was crazy." Brock said.
	"Yeah, but now I see what this danger is." Ash said.
	"Not so fast!" came Catze's voice.	
	Everyone looked to the window in Misty's room. Catze appeared next to it 
inside the room.
	"Ash, you said I could have your Heart Crystal if I gave you Misty's back. 
You aren't breaking that deal, are you?" she asked slyly.
	"I guess I am." he answered.
	"Too bad." Catze said and held out her hand. 
	The cat head glowed.	
	"When someone makes deals with me, they keep them." Catze said.
	A black beam was shot from the cat head and at Ash . Suddenly, the beam 
was reflected by a yellow beam. Ray stood in front of Catze holding her dress.
	"Guess what, Catze? Were going to be the first people who don't keep deals 
with you." Ray said and pointed her staff at Catze.
	Catze smiled.
	"I'll get Ash's Heart Crystal and Misty's. You watch!" she yelled and 
disappeared.
	"I'm confused." Misty said.
	"You might want to stay that way." Gato suggested.
	Ash turned to Ray.
	"No way is she going to do that. I'll do it. I'll help you find Echo and 
destroy Tigress." Ash said.
	Saraya jumped for joy. She ran and hugged Ash.
	"Thank you Ash! You saved my mommy and I knew we could count on you!" 
Saraya said.
	Everyone smiled and Misty got up from her bed.
	"I won't ask but I guess if Ash goes, I'm there." Misty said.
	"I'm going!" Gato said.
	"Pikachu!"
	"Can't leave me." Brock said.
	Ray smiled.
	"Very well. I will send you to search. Good luck and we will keep in 
touch. I'll tell you this, the first place you need to be is in Dark Forest." 
Ray said.
	A portal appeared behind them.
	"Good luck!" Saraya yelled and ran back to the others.
	Ash, Misty, Brock, Gato and Pikachu turned and went though the portal. 
They appeared on a path that had a sign. It read,
		Dark Forest Keep Striate
	"Let's go then." Ash said.
	They walked down the path.
	"Like I said last time, here we go again." Gato said with a sigh.
	They went down the path on yet another adventure.
