Part II Everybody was enjoying their time off, before they had to set off, on their journey. Especially Ash and Misty, making up for the lost years. It would take a long time, before Ash and Misty had caught up, with each other, but they were enjoying every bit of it. They were so happy with each other that they wanted to spend every second of every day, with each other. Every moment was precious…every moment was special. But, the time went so fast that before they knew it, it was time to set off. There was a bunch of good by’s and then immediately they set off, still waving until both groups were out of sight. Ash and Misty were waking down the road, hand in hand and right beside them was Locknile. After a while of walking Ash noticed that Locknile had a sad look on his face. “What is wrong, Locknile?” Ash, said. Misty then noticed this. “……What could Giovanni be doing to my family right now?…Are they in pain?…Is Giovanni abusing them?…” Both, Ash and Misty could feel that he was very distraught, right now. They could under stand his sadness…pain…fear. They truly knew what that was, from their own experiences. “Don’t worry about it, Locknile,” Misty said, “I’m sure your family is alright. I promise we will help them escape.” She, said with a smile on her face. But, deep inside, she knew she wasn’t sure of the outcome of their heroism. Locknile’s family could be dead, for all she knew, but she had to give her friend a few words of encouragement. She couldn’t bear to see anybody like this. Especially, after her experiences. She had to keep him up to spirit, so that they could help his family. “Misty, is right, you know.” Ash, said with a smile on his face, but still feeling the same as Misty. “Thank you, you guys.” He, said with a smile on his face, looking hopeful. “I don’t know what I would do with out you. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be threatened to do stuff, by Giovanni…thank you.” With Locknile’s hopes finally re-energized, they continued onward to their destination. “Hey guy’s, I know this sounds like a stupid question, but where is Giovanni’s place anyways?” Ash said, acting embarrassed, knowing that this was mentioned before. “It’s ok, that you forgot Ash. And, anyways, Giovanni has probably moved his castle by now, from that underground place, near Cerulean City.” Locknile said, not as saddened as before, but with a more enthusiastic and hopeful voice, with in him. “He is always on the move, and he could be anywhere by now, but there are plenty of people in this region, and we will track him down!” He said, holding a fist up in the air. “Yes!….but one thing still bothers me.” Misty said. “What?” Locknile and Ash said at the same time. “…That Powerful Pokemon…Mewtwo… You guys don’t understand how much fear, was in me, when that creature attacked us…” Misty, said with shivers in her voice. “Oh My Gosh!!” Locknile screamed out, “Did you just say Mewtwo?! I over heard Giovanni talking about that creature!……I’ve seen him…he is unstoppable, but I never thought that Giovanni would us it for this situation.” Locknile said getting shivers just like Misty. “I’ve seen that creature blow cities to pieces with one Shadow Ball…no Pokemon can stop it. It’s a Pokemon with no compassion towards humans at all…it’s just like a robot being controlled by Giovanni… It is a killing machine, that never lets anything get in its path…” Locknile barley whispered, losing all signs of hope, in his eyes. He fell on his knees, just staring at the ground, like he had no life in him. Both, Ash and Misty could see the fear in his eyes. They have never seen anybody this afraid before. It was like he was drained of all his energy. He was pail white, and this was just thinking about Mewtwo. They dared not to think, what he would do, if Locknile saw the horrid beast, once again. Ash and Misty got on opposite sides of him, and tried to calm him down. “Locknile,” Ash said, “Even though, Mewtwo may seem unstoppable, that doesn’t mean we should break down and give up…we should stay strong and face our fears…our foes. Mewtwo can and will be defeated! If we work together with our Pokemon, we will conquer our fears and our foes. We are all friends and only that and the power of teamwork, will over come all our problems.” “You know, Ash is right.” Misty said. “…You are right, Ash. I won’t give up.” He said getting up to his feet. “Lets head on and defeat Giovanni and that monster!! Thank you, you guys.” He, said with a smile on his face. They went on with smiles. It wasn’t long, after that, until they reached Viridian City. ”Hey guys, I think we should rest. It’s almost sundown and we should get some rest at the Pokemon Center.” Locknile said. “He’s right.” Said Misty. “We should get some rest. I’m getting a bit tired myself.” But, that conversation didn’t go on very long. All of a sudden, there was a loud explosion! It sounded like it came, from down the street! It scared all of our heroes half to death! “What was that?!” Misty said, breathing heavily from the scare. “We should go check it out!” Ash said, with a worried look on his face. When they started, running down the street, there was another explosion followed by a loud scream! But, that only made them run faster, with more worry! When they got down the street, to the place of the scream, they were horrified at what they saw!! They had never seen anything so dismaying!! It frightened them to the bone! But, little did they know, that there is someone here, which would lead them one step closer to their destination. I hope you enjoyed the story. What do you think? There is only one way to tell me, and that is to review. Gotta Catch Ya Later.
