Chapter 3# " Pikachu!" screamed Ash and Misty! Pikachu lay there not breathing or moving. Missingno looked at the weak Pikachu and grinned. Missingno looked at Ash and Misty and began to choke them again. Ash's face was getting very pale and Misty's face was turning blue! When Ash and Misty thought this would be the end of the journey, Missingno all the sudden dropped Ash and Misty on the floor and didn't move. Misty and Ash ran over to Pikachu to see if he was alive. Pikachu looked up and Ash and Misty and smiled and said" p..ik..a.c..hu". They all looked over at Missingno who was froze still. " Hey Ash look up at Missingno's face!" Ash and Misty saw there was gigantic slash across its face! Missingno started to bleed out his face. Missingno fell to the ground, blood and all. " Do you think it's dead?" asked Misty. " Of course he is. Look at the size of the slash!" said Ash. " Yeah but.. who did that?" said Misty. Ash and Misty looked around the room. Misty gave up looking. She pulled out a super potion out of her cloak and sprayed some on Pikachu. Pikachu sprung up from the ground ready to go! Just then Ash saw something. It had long sky blue hair and a big sword. It turned around and said" Who are you?" it asked. It took out the pokemon Charmander and the pokemon lit up the room so Ash and Misty could see. It was a girl. " You look very familiar," said Ash and Misty. "Don't you remember me from 10 years ago. I'm Duplica!". " WWWHHHAAATTT!!!" said Ash and Misty. They sat down and Duplica told her story. " Well when you guys left... Wait a sec.where's that boy named Brock? " He died 5 years ago" Ash sighed. " Oh, i'm sorry," said Duplica. " Well anyway, as you know you guys left when you where done helping me re-build the imitation house. Well me and Ditto worked there for 2 years then I left to become a Ditto master! I finally did when I was 17 years old. I was right about to go to the pokemon league when Team Rocket beat the @#$! out of me and took off with my Ditto! So I made my way to the Team Rocket H.Q. When I went to sneak in, I fell down a trap door and landed on a hard floor. Then I looked up and saw you guys being killed. So I took out my Musasami sword and slashed Missingno across the face. " Where in Team Rocket headquarters? " Yep" said Duplica. " I think were stuck here" said Misty. " Nonsens, said Ash. There has to be way out here!". PIKACHUPIKA!!! " What is it Pikachu?" asked Duplica. Pikachu walked over to the end of the left wall. Pikachu pushed on a tile on the wall. A secret crawl space appeared. " Good job Pikachu!" said Ash. Pikachu, Ash, Misty, and Duplica crawled down the long path. " Hey I think I see a light!" said Misty. When Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Duplica, they found themselves in a big room filled with Pokeballs. " These must be all the pokemon Team Rocket has stole," said Duplica. " Well lets free all of these pokemon!" said Ash. So Ash,Misty,Pikachu and Duplica took the pokeballs and started to free the pokemon. After all the pokemon were out and free, Duplica spoted a near by window. " Venasaur ggoo," said Ash. One by one, Venasaur put the pokemon out side on the grass with its vines. After all the pokemon were gone, Venasaur was called back into it's pokeball. Ash noticed that there were three large things hanging behind them. " Hey you guys. I think there's something behind us!" said Ash. All at once Misty, Pikachu, Ash and Duplica turned around. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" said them all. Quickly Pikachu went into Misty cloak and got out a flash light. Pikachu shined it out near Ash and co. Pikachu froze at sight of what he saw. Ash and co. gathered up all their courage and turned around to see. They saw three tore up mangled bodies hung by a cable string. They were Team Rocket members or use to be. " EEEWWW" screamed Duplica and Misty. " Come on you guys. We have to get moving" said Ash. The group walked into the next room finding themselves in the front room of the Team Rocket H.Q. There were elevators and stairs all over the place. They snuck over to the directory. There are 700 rooms and 7 floors. " Lets slit up and look for a path to Giovanni's office" said Ash. " Why do we need to find a way to Giovanni's office?" asked Misty. " Because on this map there are about one hundred security guards outside his office. Ok now that that's taken care of, lets pare off into groups now, Ash said. Me and Pikachu will search floor one, two, and three. Misty and Duplica will search floors four, five, and six. Then we all go in at floor seven. We'll meet back at the directory in four hours. Everyone clear on that?". " Yes" said Duplica and Misty. " Before you go Ash I want you to hang on to this pokemon. It always comes out of its pokeball!" Misty screamed. So Ash and co. started looking for things and ways to get to Giovanni. Ash and Pikachu took the stairs and Misty and Duplica took the elevator to the 3 floor. So now lets turn the story over to Ash and Pikachu. " So what floor should we explore?" asked Ash. Pikachu looked at the map of Team Rocket H.Q and pointed to the 1 floor. " Alright then. were going to the 1st floor. But what we really need are some Team Rocket uniforms" said Ash. When Ash and Pikachu got out of the elevator, they noticed one Team Rocket member in a closet trying to get out the mop and broom. Ash tip toed over and pushed the guy in the closet. Before the guy could yell or do anything, Pikachu did an electric shock that knock him out. Ash ran in the closet and quickly switched clothes with the Team Rocket member. Ash came out looking like a Team Rocket member! He had a black shirt on that had the letter " R " on it. With that shirt he had black pants and boots. He also had a hat that was black too. Ash and Pikachu looked around finding nothing at all, until, Pikachu saw a room that had a security guard. Ash tried to walk in the room, but the guard hit Ash on the head with a club. " OOOWWW, why did you do that!" Ash screamed. " I need an ID you dumbshit!" said the guard. Ash flashed the ID at the guard. The guard said " Ok fine get your ass in there!". As Ash was pushed into a hall, there was a password key that would open the next door if you knew the password. " Well Pikachu, you know how good I am at cracking codes," Ash said swiftly. Pikachu just rolled his eyes and sighed. On the key pad it had the keys: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,a, b, and c. Ash looked at the key and said " Lets try this!" He typed in: 1945a88bc. Then all the sudden an alarm went off and both doors opened. Security guards came running out from both door ways. They all pointed there guns to Ash and Pikachu. The guard that hit Ash on the head came up and took off his hat. " Your not a member!" said one of the guards. " Pikachu electric shock!" Pikachu zapped all of the guards. " RRRRRRRUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!" screamed Ash as he ran over the body of the guards. " HEY GET BACK HERE!!" screamed 3 of the security guards. Ash ran right into a hard brick wall! "OW, DAMMIT!" said Ash. Now there were 7 guards cornering Ash and Pikachu. " Were screwed!" said Ash. Then all at once the guards clubbed Ash till he was knocked out. When Ash woke up, he saw Pikachu in a cage 10 feet away from him. Ash then noticed that he was under a wall full of spikes and knifes! " This is what happens to all the in intruders," said one of the security guards. Ash was tied up and couldn't move. He then was being lowered. Pikachu couldn't use any electric power because Pikachu was hooked up to a buch of wires so if he used any electric powers it would just be drained to the lambs and light bulbs in the building. Pikachu sighed and started to punch his way out of the glass case, but it didn't work. " OOOOOHHHHH *********IIIITTTTT!!!!!!" screamed Ash! Is this the end of the road for Ash? Will Pikachu save Ash from the spikes and knifes below? Will our hero's ever find the way to Giovanni's office? find out in the next chapter: Chapter 4#
