Dreamer

Chapter 13: Ash’s memories

Gary managed to get himself, Misty, and Lina into the main floor of the City Master’s office. Misty and Lina were unconscious from something and Gary didn’t know what. Maybe there was some type of security effect that affected them but some how missed Gary and the answer to everything would be found in the main office. Gary couldn’t just leave the girls laying around, who knows what someone might do to them so he made sure they were with him.

Gary: Lina, Misty, I hope you wake up soon. Carrying you two around is exhausting.

They weren’t far from the main office, Gary placed the girls sitting against the wall then he went to observe the security device.

Gary: Is there anyway to by pass this . . . wait a minute!

In further observation it appeared to be broken. Gary placed his hands on the door and pushed. The door opened and saw Ash chained up against the wall, Kurai laying not too far from him, and the City Master on the floor as well. There was someone else in that room and he was trying to catch the floating Osmosis Sword now turned into DREAMER.

Gary: Hey! Who are you?

G/S?: I thought everyone would be out cold. Unless you’re not a prodigy!

Gary: Prodigy? You know of that!

G/S?: I don’t have time to chat!

The mysterious man tried to snatch the DREAMER but Gary ran up and tackled him down. G/S? pushed him off and went after the DREAMER again but Gary stopped the attempt.

G/S?: Do you mind!

Gary: That doesn’t belong to you!

G/S?: Your after it too I assume!

Gary: Only to make sure things turn out okay.

G/S?: Stay out of this, this thing is mine!

Once again G/S? tried to get a hold of the DREAMER but Gary kept interfering. G/S? decided the only way to get the DREAMER was to make sure Gary was immobilized.

G/S?: You bothered me enough! Now eat . . .

*****

The surroundings changed again for Ash. This time he was on the airship that was being torn apart by a storm and Ash was fighting a thief that took his Pokemon Belt. The fight resulted in both of them falling off the airship.

Ash: Misty!!!

Ash held onto his belt tightly but didn’t know that the metal buckle of his belt would attract electricity. Lightning struck the belt and electrocuted Ash. G/S? saw it as they both fell but some super natural power was involved, the electricity was flowing around Ash and didn’t harm him. Ash was unconscious but he appeared to be fine physically. They plummeted to earth at great speed, it was highly unlikely they’d live from the impact. Another supernatural act was performed and Ash became awake but he had emotionless eyes. He spread out his arms and electricity flowed around him and formed into a strange figure, it almost looked like wings.

G/S?: They look like . . . Zapdos wings.

Moments away from crashing to the ground the energy turned into a pure shape and really became wings. Ash’s descend slowed down make it soft to land. G/S? crashed on Ash’s back which knocked the energy out of Ash but they both landed safely. G/S? looked around and saw that they were near the outside of PKMN Society. He wasn’t harmed at all from his fall and quickly dashed out of the scene. The PKMN Society police saw the laying Ash on the floor and quickly called for an ambulance. Ash got into the PKMN Society and was treated from his wounds. G/S? was curious at just what happened and was determined to find out.

Ash’s surroundings changed once again and he was confronted with Ultima.

Ultima: That is what happened. Now for your memories.

The surrounding changed once again to a bedroom in a cozy house out in the country. Ash was a young boy reading himself his pokemon journey. Scene after scene occurred how Ash was introduced to his first pokemon, tried to capture one, and later being chased by a horde of angry spearows. Ash fell off a waterfall and nearly drowned in the river when he was fished out by . . . Misty.

Misty: Aw its just a dumb kid!

Ash: Sorry I . . .

Ash stared at her for a moment and he realized who it was. It was Misty from the playground from long ago. The girl he made a promise with about going together to a place where dreams come true, fall in love, and get married.

Misty: What?

Ash realized there was no time to waste, his Pikachu was very badly hurt, he had to make it to the nearest pokemon center. He quickly took Misty’s bike and rode off with it.

Ash: I’ll give it back don’t worry!!

He knew he would, he’d meet her again and they’d remember their promise together and be together to go there. The spearows got closer to him, then he took a horrible spill and flew off the bike. Pikachu was in a near death state but Ash wouldn’t give up. Rain started to pour and lightning started to spark through the sky. He wouldn’t give up, things were bad but he’d face it head on. If it was death that was coming for him in the image of the spearows before him then let it come, he was prepared but he wasn’t going to let anything happen to Pikachu. Ash whispered to himself a quiet good bye to Misty, “I wish could keep that promise to you, it’ll be the last thing on my mind before . . .”

Ash: Come and get me!!

The spearows all got into formation and charged right at Ash. He felt his Pikachu jump on his shoulder and jump right towards the spearows. He knew what was happening, if Pikachu used whatever strength it had left, it’d die. There was almost no chance of survival. Ahs prayed within that instant for a miracle, then something within him surged out. Electricity flowed out of him, shielded his Pikachu and shot out the spearows. Lightning attracted lightning and the sky raged an electric storm that scared the horde of spearows away. His Pikachu didn’t realize that it didn’t use any of its remaining strength, it had too little and had to save whatever he had left to survive.

When they both woke up they saw a wonderful rainbow and a mysterious bird flying away. Ash thought at just what happened, he couldn’t remember clearly, he only remembered his bad run in with the spearows but everything else was blurred out. He couldn’t recollect his remaining thoughts what happened at the deciding moment, he also couldn’t remember very well at how he managed to get as far as he did. He saw a blurry image of a girl, fishing near the river, he thought he knew her but he couldn’t come up with the name. Maybe it was just a déjà vu feeling but what was important now was getting to the pokemon center right away.

Memories flashed in front of Ash’s eyes. It felt like he was reliving the moments but the memories were going very fast. He saw only images and his mind recollected the missing memory and restored it plus giving him a pure awareness of what he felt like during that memory.

Ash: I remember . . . that’s when . . .

*****

Gary swallowed a lump in his throat and panted out his exhaustion. This stranger was very skilled, maybe stronger than Gary. They were battling in the office of the City Master with lethal usage of Pokemon. Gary was amazed that the person he’s fighting has pokemon that would actually take a life of a person; it was the very first time he saw of it. Gary knew he had to win otherwise the thief might disrupt some supernatural event happening at that moment. G/S? ran towards Gary and grabbed a pokeball from his belt, he tossed it to the ground and called out Hitmontop. Gary had no time to evade the attack himself so reached for his pokeballs and tossed out Nidoqueen. Nidoqueen got hurt by a blazing attack by Hitmontop so Gary had to recall it quickly.

G/S?: Your not any good at this are you? If you leave now I’ll forget all about this.

Gary: I can’t just let you have what doesn’t belong to you.

G/S?: Maybe but see if you really can stop me. This is the end!

G/S? tossed a pokeball behind him and out came Victrebell.

G/S?: Vinewhip, tie him up, then do stunspore so he’s paralyzed for awhile.

Gary: Your not gonna get me that easily!!

Gary rushed towards G/S? but the Victrebell was in his way.

*****

Ash’s memories flowed through his mind as he continued to relive moments. Currently Ash was in his mid-early teen years kneeling on a rail watching the sunset. The ocean sparkled like a diamond when it reflected the sun it was marvelous. As Ash watched the view, Misty walked over and joined him.

Misty: How long are you gonna stand there and watch the sunset?

Ash smiled but continued to gaze as the sun went down.

Ash: When there is no more sun left.

Misty: Then you’ll probably wait around for the moon right?

Ash: Am I that predictable?

Misty turned her back towards the sun and leaned against the rail.

Misty: Yup. Soooooooo . . . how long are we gonna stay here?

Ash didn’t say a word, Misty knew the answer, until the sun went down and the beautiful night sky decorated the heavens. A few minutes had past and the sun was down, the starts became visible, and the sky became dark blue.

Ash: That was beautiful.

Misty: You’re so corny sometimes.

Ash: Haa haa haa, what happened to the days when you were saying how this was sooooo romantic and how that was soooo romantic?

Misty smiled and giggled a bit. She clung onto Ash’s arms and laid her head on him.

Misty: Its all right here.

Ash smiled and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small case to give to Misty. Inside the case was a big surprise for Misty, it was a shinning gem made into a necklace.

Ash: Remember that one time we were all adventuring through that cave filled with ghost types? I did some digging and found this. I had the jeweler in this city make it into a jewel. So, ya like it?

Misty didn’t have to say a thing, she loved it and expressed it with a warm hug. Tonight, she’s going to give an extra special treat for Ash.

*****

Further down memory lane, Ash and Gary were in an nearly empty gym at night. Ash was soaking wet from a sparing match with Gary, Misty was busy giving Ash a massage while Gary continued to work out.

Ash: Ya got a mean right hook, almost took me out a few times.

Gary: Gotta stay strong to survive out there. It’s not all peaceful and forgiving, ya gotta learn to defend yourself.

Ash: I kinda wish for a peaceful, no fighting community. That’s the place where I wanna be.

Gary stopped and wiped the sweat of himself.

Gary: What about the adventures?

Ash: Hmmmm. . . I see your point.

Misty stopped massaging and sat down next to Ash. She picked up a towel and wrapped it around her neck.

Misty: I’m gonna go run on the treadmill for awhile okay.

Before leaving Ash gave Misty a light tap somewhere where he was only allowed. Misty retaliated with a quick whip with her towel.

Gary: Looks to me like “romeo” has gotten soft because of a girl.

Ash chuckled and stuck his fist out.

Ash: That’s not what your swelled up face says.

*****

Ash laid in bed thinking to himself as Misty snuggled up close to him. He felt her soft smooth skin against his own, it felt so good it put him at ease. He could fell her soft movements teasing him a bit, trying to get him aroused again.

Ash: Aren’t we frisky tonight.

Misty: Always.

Ash placed an arm around Misty and pulled himself closer to her to give her a kiss. Things go hot for the two once again and Ash laid on top of her lightly kissing her lips, smiling and giggling the whole way.

Ash: You think it’ll always be like this.

Misty: Always.

Ash: Yeah, always. Hmmm, hey isn’t “Always” a brand of . . .

The romantic moment was broken with a stupid question and a slap to the face with a pillow. Ash laughed but remained the way he is. Misty was getting ready for another exciting love session but Ash wanted to savor the moment of just being together and slightly talking, before getting to the intense stuff.

Ash: You never get bored of his do you?

Misty: Never.

Ash: From always to never, aren’t you clever with words. When do you think we’ll settle down and enjoy the easy life?

Misty: When there’s nothing left to do I guess. But when the time comes, we’ll have to teach a couple of young Ash’s and small Misty’s how to live like their parents do.

Ash: Haa haa haa, thinking about that already? Well, that’d be nice. I wonder if the world is ready for more carrot head girls running around and losing bikes.

Ash readied to get hit by a pillow but it didn’t happen, instead Misty did something that would really shut Ash up, the fun way.

*****

Gary continued to fight G/S? in the main office but he was losing his strength. G/S? played dirty to keep Gary off him but Gary continued to prevent G/S? from getting the sword. Gary was hit by almost everything that wasn’t nailed to the floor, he was cut, bruised, and bleeding. He tackled down G/S? and pinned him against the wall. There was a hard blow to Gary’s mid section then a pounding on his back. G/S? stepped over Gary and proceeded to get the sword. Gary could barely move, the pain was preventing him from getting up and stopping G/S? everything appeared to be lost.

Gary: I can’t stop him . . .

G/S? reached up and grabbed the sword by its handle, in mid air he took it and claimed it.

G/S?: I got it! Now, I have some of the potential energy of several prodigies!

Gary cursed himself, closed his eyes and awaited death to claim him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and thought it was the grim reaper calling for him, no it wasn’t, it was too warm and felt like . . . he opened his eyes and Ash was standing next to him. The chains were unlocked, Misty and Lina were waking up as well. The City Master and Kurai was also getting up.

G/S?: I thought everyone here was dead? Doesn’t matter, guess I can test this out on everyone first.

Ash: That’ doesn’t belong to you.

G/S?: Who are you to tell me what belongs to me and what doesn’t?

Ash: Well . . . I am Ash Ketchum.

In the next chapter: Confrontation between G/S and the four prodigies. Kurai fights hard for his father’s sake, Ash realizes who he is, Misty is aware of her own potential, and Lina’s questions of her own strength finally answered. The fight goes on in the heart of the perfect academic utopia city, PKMN Society. The DREAMER is at stake.
