Part V After the encounter with Locknile, all three of our heroes were disturbed, especially Ash. Our heroes were camping out in a small forest near Cerilian City. Ash, had a hard time falling asleep, but when he did he had the weird dream again. Everything went the same except when he saw the three figures holding Misty captive, which were Jessie, James, and Meowth! He looked over to the right and saw someone that made his heart jump, not with excitement, but with fear. He saw Locknile!! He was laughing in an evil manner while he held out a Poke'ball and tossed it into the air, and out came Tyranitar! Tyranitar and Locknile turned toward Misty. Then Ash heard Locknile's voice! "Tyranitar! Hyper Beam!" Tyranitar charged a Hyper Beam and shot it toward Misty!! It hit Misty, causing her to scream!!!!!!!! "Misty!!!!" Ash screeched, while he ran as fast as he could toward her, tears forming in his eyes. But, again he was knocked down by an invisible force field!! He fell down but got right back up!! He grabbed for one of his Poke' balls. "Go Jolteon!! Use Headbutt to break down the force field!!" "Jolt! [Got it!]" Jolteon rammed right in to the force field as hard as it could……but no avail. "Keep trying, Jolteon!" Ash said tearfully. He thought, *Don't worry Misty! I'll set you free! * Jolteon kept trying! Again!! Again!! Again!! Again!!! Until it finally broke!!!!!!! Ash ran towards Misty immediately but was stopped by Locknile's Tyranitar! "Tyranitar! Hyper Beam!!" Tyranitar once again powered up a Hyper Beam, and shot it off!!! It was coming toward Ash!! At a very high rate!!!! It was about to hit when an unexpected thing happened. I guess you could call it a miracle…….A Seviper and Cacnea came in and blocked the attack!!!!!!!! And the hit was so powerful that the two Pokemon flew back, far behind Ash!! Ash was surprised, but grateful. He turned toward where the Pokemon came from, and saw some one who he never thought would help him in his time of need…...Jessie and James!!!! Ash immediately woke up from the dream and sat there sitting up in his bed, scared and surprised as ever. He lay back down and thought about the dream and all its possible solutions. Since Pikachu explained the dream, as he had before, he reasoned out what the new changes meant. But, he was still baffled by one thing. Why would Jessie and James help them? All through his Pokemon journey, they consistently tried to steal Pikachu with some crazy scheme. They were like his mortal enemies……well whatever was going to happen, Ash had to prepare for it. Time would tell. The next morning they got up sleepy. They have had a hard night due to Locknile's visit. They got up regardless because they were almost to Cerilian City. They walked for about half an hour and they finally reached it. They expected to feel relieved when they got there……but something horrible happened……the town was in ruins!!!!!! Every building was in ruins, nobody was roaming the streets……it was a ghost town!!! "How…how…did the town get like this….?" Ash asked in fear. "What ever happened, the whole town is demolished…." Brock said sadly. "I wonder where everybody is……" Duplica said sadly. "Pi Pikachu Pika…….. [I hope they all are all right…….]" "Wait!!…….Is this a foreshadow, of my dream?" Ash asked with his eyes wide open, and he was trembling all over. "…….All those people……Where are they…….Where is Misty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?" Ash fell down to his knees and started to feel tears in his eyes. Brock and Duplica came over and put a hand on each of his trembling shoulders. Brock could sense all of his sadness. It was like all his sorrow was radiating off of his body, and he could feel it with the slightest of touch. Brock bent down on his knees. "Now Ash, don't be like that. We will find Misty and the rest of the City. "Yeah, listen to Brock. Your Misty will be all right. You have nothing to worry about." "Pi Pikachu [Yeah, Don't worry Ash.]" Ash was still crying when he got up and ran off into the unknown streets of the demolished town. Brock put his arms around Duplica, trying to comfort her, knowing she was very stressed right now. "Don't worry about him. He'll be fine once he has some time to think for himself." "Brock…Do you think we will really find Misty and the rest of the town?" "I…I don't know……but, one thing is for sure. We will look for them!" (Over at the Team Rocket Base.) "Help Ash!!!! Where are you?!!!!!! Misty screamed while she struggled against the strong chains, that held her against the wall. "Don't even bother, you brat!!" Your little Ashy isn't coming for you! Said Locknile. "You don't know anything!! I know Ash will come! He wouldn't let anything happen to me!!" She screamed fiercely. "Well, well, don't you seem confident. Well no matter, even if he did come, he wouldn't stand a chance against Team Rocket!!" "He is the Champion of, the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn League!! You won't stand a chance against him!!" "Then why did he lose to my Tyranitar, out in the woods? He won't ever defeat me!" "Ash always finds a way through things in a battle!! That time was just a fluke! He will beat you next time!!!" "You don't know anything you little pest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he said furiously. But then said with an evil laugh, "Besides, I wonder what he will make of the town? And, even if he figures out who demolished it, how will he find our base? It is well hidden. So you are wrong pest!" He left the chamber, in which he held Misty captive. Misty was nearly in tears. She thought to herself, * What if Ash doesn't find me?….Is Locknile right…No snap out of it Misty!! He will find me!* Misty, tried to get it off her mind, but couldn't. She was in a horrible place. She could hear screams of civilians from the city, being tortured……She couldn't stand it! She just tried to fall asleep even though she was standing up, hanging from chains,….trying to get the horrible subject off her mind. What do you think so far? I want, you the readers, to tell me what you think will happen, later on in your reviews. Thanks for reading.
