Chapter 11: Payback
Ash & Misty were heading to back to Cerulean so Ash could pay Misty
back. 2 days of quiet travel go by, and they're in Cerulean.
Misty quietly walked into the Gym, and appeared suprised to see what
was going on when she came. Her sisters were putting on a show. Misty signed in, and
walked into her room. "Just like it used to be, nothing's different but there's more
dust on everything: my clock, books about Water Pokémon, & my model of the late St.
Anne."
"<back in Misty's head> I only have 1 thing to do- turn the
calendar. <chuckles>" Misty turned the calendar, put the check with her name on
it with the memo of "Bike" on it, and collapsed on the bed.
"Misty, something wrong?"
"Yeah. I'm so used to ground travel, <takes a deep breath> I
don't think I want a new bike right now."
Ash only looked at her open-mouthed, not believing what she had just said. "You're
suprised, I know."
Ash could only nod a yes. "Let's get back to Seafoam for that Pokédex upgrade."
Chapter 12: Surf
It was mid-December by the time Ash & Misty make it to the coast
south of Pallet. They obviously started to surf on Lapras. There were some small chunks of
ice out on the water, but it wouldn't be long before they got to where it all melted.
"Ash, how do you think we were teleported to Pokémon Tower anyway?"
"I don't know. What I do know is that if anything weird happens
here, Butch & Cassidy are behind it."
Misty believed him. "That's probably it."
"It's not all bad. You've got Golduck & Starmie, and I've got
Haunter. If we keep one of them out all the time, I think we're safe."
"I don't know, my Starmie doesn't know any Psychic attacks."
Misty said.
"Not even Teleport?" Ash questioned.
"Not anything." she exclaimed. Then she sighed. Ash didn't
know what to do. 2 days of riding on Misty's Lapras only get them halfway between Cinnabar
& Seafoam.
Ash & Misty were camped out on a small island, and Ash woke up. It was cloudy. "I
knew it," , he thought "this has to be the work of Butch & Cassidy's
Drowzee." "Misty, Misty, wake up."
"Hi, Ash. Something wrong?"
"Yeah. There are clouds out. Butch & Cassidy know we're where we are."
"Just send out your Haunter."
"Are you sure it'll work?"
Misty only nodded a yes. "Just send out your Haunter." she repeated.
"I hope you're right. Haunter, come out! Haunter, there could be some psychic attacks
going on around here. Follow us, <Misty sends out her Lapras & waits for Ash>
and keep them from happening. Got it?"
"Haunt."
"Good."
"Come on, Ash! The sooner we get there, the sooner we can leave!" Ash ran over
to Lapras & got on. The clouds darkened as they surfed on, and Misty realized Ash was
right. "You were right, Ash. It is a psychic attack. There are only whitecaps &
choppy waves close to us, and around that there's nothing but smooth sailing. If we move
there, the bad area moves with us."
Back at the Rocket Base on Seafoam Island, Butch & Cassidy couldn't
believe it. "How does she know?!?!?!" Cassidy screamed in despair.
Chapter 13: Tentacool Squirts
Butch only shoved his shoulders up & gave a 'I don't know' face. 5
minutes later, "Why does it matter? Let's tell all the Tentacool in the area to
squirt them with their Acid attack, Drowzee!"
Back out on the water, Ash & Misty screamed. The wild Tentacool had
them surrounded! "Haunter, Night Shade!" Ash cried. Misty screamed again as they
entered a world of blackness: Haunter's Night Shade. Misty held her breath, despite the
fact there w a s air to breathe in there. Ash even spoke to her, "Misty, it's okay.
You can still breathe."
"<loud exhale, could have been a sigh> Ash?"
"Yeah, what, Misty?"
"Your Pidgeot has to get us to Seafoam! An-" Misty didn't
finish. The Tentacool struck back, combining their Water Guns to drench them. Ash somehow
managed to call Haunter back. Misty sent out her Starmie, and signaled for Ash to give
each of them a green needle, then grab onto her. The weather cleared, so Ash & Misty
could see the sun shining on them. Misty shoved her head up against her Starmie, trying to
get its attention. "Starmie!" she thought, "Hurry up! Try to teleport us to
Seafoam! I need you to at least try, please, Starmie." Starmie did have telepathy,
and it understood Misty.
Ash didn't have a clue why Misty had told him to grab her. "What
if I'm doing this wrong?" Ash thought nervously.
Starmie tried to get just 1 Teleport off, and it didn't work. "Oh,
why'd I send out Starmie & not Golduck?" she imagined, "I can't believe
myself. I can't switch Pokémon, my hands are full. So are Ash's, but that doesn't matter.
"Misty! Look!" Ash's voice!?!?! They surfaced somehow!
"Ash, it's Seafoam Island! I can't believe it!"
"Neither can I, but there it is! Misty, where'd you-" Ash was
suddenly swept under the surface. He still was holding Misty, but he didn't know why she
was diving down. Toward a cave. When they finally got in the cave, whitewater was
everywhere. They were flung up, toward the roof of this place. "Ash!" Misty
screamed. Her backpack strap was caught on a stalactite from the cave roof!
Chapter 14: Stuck in the Seafoam Islands
Ash felt himself fall through the air in this slighly darkened cave,
just looking at Misty hanging up on that stalactite. He splashed, and was slowly drifting
away from her. Ash surfaced in the slow moving current. "Pidgeot, go!"
Ash swam over to a shore & Pidgeot let him ride. "Ash, hurry!
It feels like my arm is going to fall off!"
"Misty, hold on! <Pidgeot flies over to where Ash can get a
hold of her> It's okay, I've got you!" Ash graabed Misty by the arms & managed
to pull her on, where she could grab her backpack. "Misty, how's your arm?" Ash
questioned.
"Let's see. <raises her hand so she can look> It's fine.
Thanks, Ash." Misty hugged him.
"Pidgeot, land over there. I love you, Misty." Ash reminded.
"I love you, too, Ash." She smiled, blushed, & even cried
a little. They landed. "Misty, do you know about this place?"
"I once heard a legend my sisters told me. It read: A cavern in
Seafoam Island contains a mystical bird Pokémon, Articuno. If anyone enters the cavern of
the lengendary Pokémon, <sniffles & starts crying> is doomed. Ohhhhhh!"
Misty sobbed.
"Any prophecies on saving yourself?" Ash questioned.
Misty got on her knees. "Get out the way you came with a Ghost
Pokémon at level 37."
"Misty, believe it or not, Haunter's at that level."
"Ash!" Misty jumped into his open arms. "Oh, Ash, I
don't know what to say!"
"How do we use Haunter to get out?" Ash asked, loving Misty.
"We make it carry us out to open ocean, the way we came in."
She let Ash go, but still blushed at him during the conversation.
"You mean through that gusher?"
"However we came in."
"Go, Haunter! Carry us out of here by going through there!"
Haunter grabbed them, and slowly drifted through the water to the outside. Ash & Misty
had to use green needles on each other, and Haunter finally got them out to the surface,
where Misty sent out her Golduck, and Ash grabbed Misty to get to the shore of Seafoam.
Chapter 14: Meanwhile, back at the Team Rocket Base
"How'd they do that!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! I
can't believe it!" Cassidy screamed, looking in despair at the image Drowzee was
providing them of Ash & Misty.
"They have some pretty promising Pokémon. I can see why they get
past all of our attacks."
"I'm glad you're happy about it." Cassidy glared
sarcastically.
"Well, I've got a plan." Butch said defiantly.
"I hope it's better than telling Drowzee to tell wild Pokémon to
attack them!"
"It's simple. We just constantly put Seafoam into a stormy
hurricane and just watch them starve to death out there."
"That plan is so pathetic, Jessie & James could have thought
it up! I don't like it."
"Got any better ideas?" Butch boomed.
"Yeah, we constantly tell Drowzee to Teleport them everywhere they
can't make any sense of where they are or where they're going!" Cassidy suggested,
angry.
"That's too boring. And besides, if they fall off a cliff, they
all die- including that Pikachu!" Butch noticed.
"Well, at least it's better than that pathetic plan you thought of." Cassidy
boomed.
Butch didn't respond. He just walked off to his quarters to collect himself.
Cassidy still wanted to get something going. She decided to call
Giovanni. "Sir, they're here. On Seafoam Island!"
"You mean you s t i l l don't have that Pikachu?"
"No, sir." Cassidy chimed nervously.
"Well, another pair is on its way there now. You've got 3 days to
get them! Understand?" Giovanni boomed, scaring his Persian so much it ran out the
door of his office.
"Understood." Giovanni hung up, purely enraged. "Ohh, I
can't believe they failed!" Giovanni fumed.
