Chapter eleven
Rain on my parade
It was a new morning for Ash and his friends. Ash had both got his badges from the battle dome and the battle roulette. They were now heading to the battle castle which was past Fortree and to Lilycove. Everyone had just woken up and finish eating breakfast. After packing up their equipment they all started to head to Fortree. Everything was fine until they all got lost.
“Hey Brock, haven’t we already been though here?” Ash asked.
“I hate to admit it Ash but we are lost.” Brock replied and sighed right after.
“What!?” Max, May and Amelia replied in shock.
“I know!” May said as a light bulb appeared on top of her head showing that she had a idea. “Let’s use Max’s poke nav.”
“Sorry to burst your bubble sis but the poke nav has run dried. I forget to charge it at Mauville.” Max said as he showed his sister the poke nav and tried to press the on button but the poke nav wouldn’t turn on.
“No…”May said as she dropped on the ground. “I don’t want to live here in the rest of my life!” May complained.
“May.” Ash said as he offered his hand to help May up. “You and I and the rest of us have been though these problems before. Remember the time we got lost and tried to look for Max and Brock?. We got out alive together so don’t let this bring you down.” Ash said ending with a smile. “We will get out of this forest together.”
“Your right.” May said as she gladly accepted Ash’s help and Ash pulled her up to his body.
“Aww love birds.” Amelia teased. “I wonder if you and…” Amelia said before being discontinued by her older brother who covered her mouth quickly.
“If you want to get out of this forest alive I suggest you keep our mouth shut. Because if you don’t well let’s not get there. I’m sure you know what will happen.” Ash whispered.
Amelia gulped. “Since when did you become so mean?” Amelia asked.
“Well let’s keep going guys.” Brock suggested. “If we don’t we might actually be stuck here for the rest of our lives.”
“Like we not lost enough.” Max mumbled with his arms crossed.
So the five of them kept walking into the thick forest. Soon the sky above them started to get darker and darker by the minute. When the white clouds became dark and grey it started to pour down rain on their heads.
“This is just great.” Amelia complained. “Like anything else can get worse.”
Soon the temperature started to drop slightly and making all of them cold and thunder flashed across the grey sky. Soon more buckets of rain started to fall on them and made it hard to see each other.
“Me and my big mouth.” Amelia sighed.
“Guys.” Brock called out. “We should hold each other’s hands so we won’t get lost.”
“Good idea.” Max replied.
Amelia hold Max’s hand while Max hold Brocks. To the three surprise neither Amelia or Brock weren’t holding anybody’s else hands.
“Hey.” Max said. “Where’s Ash and May?”
“Oh no” Amelia gasped. “They must be behind us. We should go back and get them.”
“If we do we might not be able to get to Fortree.” Brock added. “There is no doubt that this weather will worsen by the minute if we don’t reach the town now.”
“But what about Ash and May?” Amelia added.
“Pika pi!” Pikachu added showing concern to his master.
“I know Ash will look after May and himself. I know Ash. He always has ways to get out of things.”
*~*~*~*
Still the rain didn’t stop at Ash and May. The two had lost Brock and the other’s. the two were holding hands. Ash was dragging May to walk with him so they wouldn’t get even lost. Then out of nowhere thunder struck a tree behind May and made her jump in shock and hug Ash by his back with her arms wrapped around Ash’s chest. When May hugged him Ash blushed red and spread across his cheeks. Ash got his hands and put them on top of May’s and put one down and hold the other. Ash continued to hold hands with May as they walked into more into the forest. After a few minutes Ash’s slight blush faded away.
As the weather was still wasn’t on their side Ash and May knew that it was getting dark.
“Ash” May said to her best friend. “It’s getting dark and cold. What are we going to do?”
“I guess we will have to sleep her for the night.” Ash replied. “We have no other choice.” Ash said as he looked around for dry shelter. “Let’s go over there.” Ash pointed to a huge tree that hade good enough shade to keep them both dry.
The young brunette just nodded in response. Both walked over to the huge shady tree. It’s leaves where so long that they were touching the ground. Ash brushed the long leaves out of the way and enter him and May under the tree. The both sat on the dirt. Ash saw that May was rubbing her arms trying to keep herself warm.
“Here.”
May looked up and saw Ash covering him and her with a blanket.
“Sorry if this is all I have. Brock is normally the one that has all the other equipment.” Ash smiled.
“It’s okay” May sadly smiled. “At least we both have something to keep us warm and dry.”
The two watched the rain drops from the leaves fall down to the dirt as more rain kept falling from the sky. Thunder was still around and frighten them a few times. Soon May couldn’t help it anymore and few asleep on Ash’s shoulder. Soon Ash fell asleep also. Both friends were sleeping on each other as the rain and thunder continued.
*~*~*~*
Back at the Fortree poke centre Amelia, Max and Brock were inside dry and warm. All of them couldn’t but help to worry about Ash and May. The weather still continued and it was getting colder since night had came.
“I’m really worried about them.” Amelia said as she got up from the couch. “They should be here by now.”
“Calm down Amelia.” Brock replied. “They are just fine.”
“How do you know that?” Max asked as he laid his head on his arms on the table. “We don’t even know where they are.”
Sacul was in the background and couldn’t help but hear the conversation. Sacul walked a little closer to hear more.
“Let me remind you all that Ash and May are missing in the most worst weather we have all seen. We all know that Ash and May have survived in many situations but all of them can’t compare to this! Just look outside that window. Now tell me if they can survive though that. Maybe for now but not for long. They are both wet and cold and when your wet you feel more colder. Now add the coldness of the mornings into place. Now imagine how cold they are!” Amelia complained in a high tone of voice. “We have to find them before it’s too late.”
Sacul couldn’t help it anymore but to stop hearing the conversation and walk out the poke centre doors into the wet cold rain.
*~*~*~*
The rain had slightly got lighter and the thunder flashed only a few times but if was getting colder and Ash and May were still wet. They were still sleeping. They both hugged each other for warmth. At a few times both started to shake in coldness. Soon footsteps came closer to them. It was Sacul.
“Found you.”
Sacul got a poke ball from his belt and threw it on the floor. Soon out came a psychic pokemon. It was Alakazam. Sacul knelt down and slowly shake them both.
“Hey.” Sacul greeted.
Both Ash and May woke up.
“Wait your Sacul.” Ash replied in surprise. “What are you doing here?”
“You and your friends back at Fortree can’t help to worry about you two so I decided to look for you.”
“But why?” May asked.
There was silence in Sacul answer. Soon Sacul answered back.
“I have been though what you guys have been though. The coldness, the wetness you feel, and how lonely you can feel.”
“So that’s why you came to get us?” Ash asked.
“Pretty much.” Sacul smiled. “Well let’s go.”
Ash both got up and offered his hand to help May up from the dirt. Sacul couldn’t help but to look at how Ash helped his best friend up.
“Hey I just notice this but you tow look nice together. Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?”
“NO!” the two quickly replied with a slight blush on their faces.
“I see.” Sacul replied. “Let’s go.”
“Don’t tell me we are going to walk in the wet again. I feel really weak and cold.” May complained.
“Don’t worry about that.” Sacul replied. “We are just going to use Alakazam’s teleport here. He will teleport us back to the poke centre.”
The three went close to Alakazam and Alakazam’s spoon’s started to glow light blue. Soon the three disappeared within a second.
*~*~*~*
“Where are they?” Amelia said as she paced from the table and the couch. “Now I’m really starting to worry.”
“You have been worrying about them since they got lost Amelia.” Max replied as he was still on the table with his head lying on his arms. “Remember your not the only one worried about their older brother and sister.”
“Pikachu.” Pikachu said sadly.
“Everything will be fine.” Max said as he tried to change his tone of voice making it more cheerful to bring Pikachu’s sprit up again.
Then suddenly the poke centre doors slide open and in came Ash and May with Sacul behind them. Pikachu’s ears went up and jumped off the table and ran to his master and jumped into his arms. As Pikachu rubbed his face against Ash’s he found that he was very cold. Soon everybody followed with a smile on their faces. Max ran to his older sister and greeted with a hug. He to find out that his sister felt very cold.
“I’m so glad your okay.” Max smiled. “We were all getting worried. Even Pikachu.”
“Well Ash and I are alright now so there isn’t to worry now.” May replied with a smile on her face.
“Pikachu.” Pikachu said cheerfully.
“I’m glad to see you as well Pikachu.” Ash replied with a smile.
May shifted her eyes away from her brother and looked at Ash. He couldn’t help but to slightly smile at Ash as he smile at his Pikachu and he hugged Pikachu. She couldn’t believe that the Ash she was looking at helped her and himself to keep warm and that he was the one that covered her and himself with the only blanket he had.
Then Amelia noticed that Sacul was starting to fade from the crowd by walking away. Amelia slowly walked away from the group and followed Sacul who was starting to walk out of the building. When Sacul was out of the building Amelia made her pace a little faster to catch up with Sacul. Soon Amelia was out of the building and saw Sacul in the distance.
“Lucas!” Amelia called out.
Sacul looked over his shoulder and saw it was Amelia. Ash’s younger sister.
“I know it’s you Lucas.” Amelia called out again.
“I’m not Lucas.” Sacul replied as he took a few more steps away from Amelia.
“If your not Lucas and then why did you rescue Ash and May then?” Amelia asked.
Sacul didn’t reply and slowly walked back to Amelia.
“You caught me.” Lucas sighed.
“What are you doing here?” Amelia said in a low tone. “If team cyclone sees you here you are going to get Ash and I in more trouble then we already. Ash hates you like hell itself and I can’t blame him. I mean you got us into this mess.”
“It wasn’t my fault. I had to do it. I couldn’t stand it anymore.” Lucas replied.
“I’m sure in that thick skull of yours that what you did was wrong and getting Ash and I involved was even more stupid.”
“So you hate me as well?” Lucas asked.
“No I don’t but I can’t blame Ash. Our whole life is ruined because of your actions. And thanks for adding more bad reputation to the family even more. Like we even needed more. And to add you showing up makes it even better doesn’t it?”
“If you were in the same position like me I bet you would do it to.”
“No I wouldn’t.” a voice came from the building.
Both looked at the entrance of the poke centre and found it was Ash.
“Ash?” Both asked in shock to find Ash overhearing their conversation. “What are you doing here?”
“Aren’t I allowed to join?” Ash asked.
“So you really hate me?” Lucas asked.
“I always hated you since we were both little. Hating you know isn’t something new. Even talking to you is hard enough. Why don’t you just show yourself to team cyclone. Do that and I might be happy.”
“Well good news to you I’m back at team cyclone.”
“What!” Amelia said as he turned Lucas towards her direction. “How dumb can you get? You will get yourself killed!”
“I have one more thing to do before…”
“You die?” Ash added. “Why would you go near death itself Lucas?”
“What I am doing is right.” Lucas replied as he faced Ash once again.
“Like anyone is going to appreciate it. Who are you. A hero?” Ash asked.
“Talking to you is a waste of time.”
“Seeing you here right now is a waste of time!” Ash yelled.
“Both of you stop it!” Amelia said as she got in the middle of the two with her hand blocking the two from getting any nearer. “This isn’t helping Lucas’s situation.”
“Who said I was helping a criminal like him Amelia? Just let team cyclone kill him already.” Ash said as he started to walk away from the two.
Soon it was Amelia and Lucas left outside.
“I have to go Amelia.” Lucas reminded Amelia. “I don’t want you guys to get more involved then you guys are already.”
“I understand.” Amelia sighed.
Lucas got out his Alakazam and made Alakazam use Teleport and soon disappeared. Soon Amelia walked back into the building.
*~*~*~*
A few minutes after Ash confrontation with Lucas May decided to join him. Ash in the main room of the poke centre.
“Ash?” May asked in a concerning manner. “Are you okay?”
“Not really.” Ash said without looking at May directly.
“What happened outside with Amelia?” May asked as she took a seat next to Ash.
“I saw Lucas.”
“Lucas?” May asked. “Who is he?”
“His just… a person I hate.”
“Why do you hate him?” May asked.
“It’s a long story May” Ash replied. “A story I really don’t want to get into.”
“Oh.” May replied. “Well I’m here is say thanks and give you something.”
“What is it?” Ash asked.
“This.” May replied as she gave Ash a quick kiss on the cheek. “That’s for helping me in the forest in the rain.” May smiled.
But Ash couldn’t reply back. He had just froze like a statue. May knew that she wasn’t going to get a reply from this boy. May just giggled at the sight.
“The typical Ash.”
