After a full week of relaxation Ash and Jesse finally get their gear together and get ready to leave Heaven. On their way out of town they bump into Diego. "You guys leaving?" He asks. "Yeah. We have been here long enough. Gotta get to the next town to fight the Elite. Umm.... Where is that by the way?" Ash replies. "There are a couple tiny towns along the way. Nothing real special about them. You want to go to Purgatory. That's the town you arrived in. If you want I can show you the express route? You could be there by tonight." Diego says. Ash looks at Jesse and they nod. Diego leads them to the top of the mountain and over to a section that is restricted. "Are you sure we should be here?" Ash asks worried. Jesse nudges him. "Relax. It is only restricted for tourists. I own this mountain and this is my personal route. So no worries." Diego says opening a door. It is a small section of the mountain top that has been sectioned off. There isn't even a roof or any other walls. "Alright you have a few choices. The rodent ball. Stay warm and get there the fastest, but harder to stop. Next we have your traditional wooden toboggan. You may get chilly but it is the easiest to stop. After that we have these plastic sleds. Fun ride but you can't ride together. You can also snowboard or ski down if you choose. I personally recommend the luge. Excellent speed and you can actually fool around on the way down. If you do "it" you can join a club that is very hard to get into." Diego says showing the equipment. "Couldn't we do it in the ball?" Jesse asks making Ash perk up. "You can. I don't recommend it because you could mess up the stabilizers in it. But by all means feel free to try." Diego explains. After several minutes they choose the luge. "Give me you all your personal items. Phones. Wallets. Any valuables. Don't worry about pokeballs." Diego says. "Why?" Ash ask handing everything over to him. Diego puts all the belongings into a large duffel bag and tosses it over the mountainside. Before either of them could say anything Diego pushes the luge over the side as well and away they go. It is like an actual luge course except there are no curves. In the track next to them (up a ways) they can see their bag. Shino is sitting in the warden's office again. Out in front of the prison all of the day shift guards are having a family picnic. "Now, Shino, I don't allow this type of thing but because you are a national icon I can't really refuse either. You have been a model prisoner since your arrival and I expect that to continue. The things you requested are on the table there. (points to a table behind Shino) You can change in my personal bathroom. Go on." The warden says. Meanwhile Maurice is not doing so well. The stress and worry has taken its toll. Not to mention the physical harm he has caused himself trying to answer a simple telephone. He hasn't showered in a week and has barely slept. He hasn't eaten hardly anything either. There is a knock on his front door and he races to answer it. On the way he bumps his right foot on a chair. He finally answers the door and a look of terror comes over his face. Shino has cleaned himself up in the bathroom. He walks out dressed in his usual gear and lets out a refreshed sigh. "Never thought it would feel this good to wear these again." Shino says looking himself over. "Well lets go." the Warden says. They walk outside and all the kids cheer. A few of them look around and Shino says "What are you looking for?" "Your bug." one of them says. From out of no where Scizor comes running up and slides to a stop next to Shino. All the kids cheer and pull out a pokeball. "We want to see you fight." one of the older kids say. All of the kids here are between six and ten and there are eighteen of them. "Really? I suppose I can do that." Scizor says as he is lead off by the kids. Shino has a seat at a table and grabs a soda. Just as he opens it Scyther and Kabutops emerge from the grass. "Master!" they say and bow. "Didn't expect to see you guys here. What is it? I am sorta busy." Shino says. "We would like to know when you plan on returning home." Kabutops says. "And what are our orders?" Scyther says. "Not sure if I am going to return. And as for your orders. Go home and make sure nothing happens to Karen's grave. And relax a bit. If you'll excuse me." Shino says walking over to Scizor. Scyther and Kabutops bow and leave. For the next few hours Shino and Scizor entertain everyone. They do all kinds of tricks and even spar with one another. They also pose for pictures and sign autographs. As they leave two of the female guards stay behind for a moment. First one approaches Shino and says "I realize this is sudden but before I transfer I was wondering if I could visit your cell tomorrow." She winks. "If you want." Shino replies and she walks off. The other one runs up to him and gives him a big hug. "Unlike her, I am single and don't have to worry about anyone finding out. Would you mind if I visited tomorrow afternoon?" She says nibbling on his ear. "Will I get to see your "show"?" He asks. "What show?" She asks. "You know. The show you put on when I am asleep outside my cell door. It sounds very interesting." He whispers into her ear and then playfully bites her neck. She turns bright red after realizing what he meant, then runs off. "Thanks Warden." Shino says shaking his hand. "You are welcome. And thank you. Everything is ready." The warden says. He leads Shino back to his cell and says "Keep the clothes. I will tell the night guards." Shino bows and hops onto his cot with an evil smile. "Remember, first shift will be here at five a.m." The warden says and closes the door. Ash and Jesse are walking out of the ocean and Officer Jenny is walking towards them. "That bastard Diego." Ash says in a pissed tone. "You aren't the first one he tricked. He gets everybody. Follow me and I will take you to the Pokecenter." Jenny says leading them towards the Pokecenter. Ash and Jesse get a room and then take turns showering. Once they are in dry clothes they head back out for some dinner. As they are walking Ash notices a huge iron gate with a sign next to it. "Only those of whom have been deemed worthy may enter. Please present your pieces of eight." Ash reads aloud. "Guess you have to show your badges to it." Jesse says. In Tempest, Maurice is sitting down to a huge meal and the left side of his face has a hand indent in it. "Ma, I told you I was sorry for not telling you. I can handle this on my own." Maurice says. "I know. Its just with your little brother going to Jhoto for college and Shino in prison I don't know what to do with myself." She says and sits down in a chair. "I know Ma." He says and gives her a hug. There is a knock at the door and Maurice runs to answer it. He opens the door and his jaw drops. Guadalupe is standing there with a basket in her hand. Maurice invites her in and they sit down. Ma gets up quietly and leaves.

Bright and early the next morning, Ash gets up and quietly leaves for the Gym. When he gets there Diego is just arriving himself. "You are an early riser." Diego says opening the door. "Not usually. I just wanted to get this done." Ash replies walking inside. Diego locks the door behind them. "You are still going to have to wait a bit. My pokemon are still asleep." Diego says taking a sip of his coffee. While they are waiting Diego grabs his guitar and starts playing a very haunting piece of music. While he is playing a Sandslash walks in and pours himself a cup of coffee then walks over to Diego and cuts the guitar strings. Diego opens his eyes and sees a very pissed looking Sandslash. "Sorry." Diego says. Sandslash leaves and Ash says "That was odd." "Not really. Sometimes he breaks my guitar. Fortunately he didn't break this one. (Flips the guitar over and shows the back) See. Karen gave this one to me as a graduation gift from high school." Diego says with a hint of sadness in his voice. About an hour later the gym lights come on and Ash and Diego head into the gym. Pokemon of all kinds are sleeping everywhere. Above Diego's box perched on a light is an Articuno. "You have an Articuno?" Ash says in amazement. "Oh, him. No, he's not mine. He just likes to sleep here. Now lets get this match started after we move some pokemon." Diego says nudging one with his foot. Another hour goes by and the battlefield is finally cleared. Ash takes his position and Diego takes his. "Ok, who wants to start things off today?" Diego asks his pokemon. A Farfetch'd steps out twirling its leek. Pikachu jumps onto the field and the ref starts the match. Farfetch'd stands there and motions for Pikachu to attack. Pikachu uses Agility and then goes for a Tackle. Farfetch'd side steps him and smacks him with the leek in the back of the head. Pikachu rolls a bit and stops. He turns around and uses Thunder which Farfetch'd simply twirls the leek and the electricity is rendered harmless. Pikachu thinks for a second and then runs around Farfetch'd in a circle so that a dust cloud forms. Farfetch'd looks around waiting for the attack. The dust dies down and Pikachu has vanished. Farfetch'd looks all around and then from the lights above Pikachu dives down onto him. Just before Pikachu goes for the kill, Diego stops the match. "That was very good. Not many trainers have beaten Farfetch'd. You should be proud." Diego says walking toward Ash. "Why did you stop it?" Ash asks. "I am against killing pokemon for Gym badges. Here take this. (hands him the badge) Its Heaven's Gate. You my friend are going to the face the Elite trainers and possibly the Champion. Congratulations." Diego says shaking his hand. Ash takes the badge and then does his annoying celebration stance. Diego raises his eyebrow. Then Ash runs all the way back to the Pokecenter where Jesse is still asleep. Ash bursts into the room scaring the shit out of her. "I did it!" he exclaimed. "I am going to battle the Elite and then hopefully the Champion." Ash continues. He jumps onto the bed and hugs Jesse. She hugs him back and says "That's great. I am so happy for you." Ash finally calms down and notices Jesse is standing there in just her panties. "Sorry." He says staring at her panties. She raises his chin up and looks him in the eyes. "My face is up here but, I am glad you like these. Now lets have a celebration dinner." She says. Shino is sitting in his cell thinking, when a guard walks in. "You have a visitor." The guard says. Shino gets up and walks down to the visitor room. He walks in and stops dead in his tracks. In Devil's Mind, Guadalupe is laying on her bed staring at the pictures on the dresser across the room. Maurice is laying on his bed staring at the ceiling back in Tempest. "How much longer is this going to take? This waiting is killing me." He says. His phone goes off and he practically kills himself trying to get to the phone. "Hello? Guadalupe?" He says out of breath. "Hello, Maurice? This is Naomi from the newspaper." She says. Maurice slams the phone down. "Son of a... Damn near kill myself for some stupid newspaper call." He says. As he cleans up the mess he made, his cell phone starts to ring but the battery dies making it look like he hung up. Guadalupe stares at her phone. "What the hell? He must still be upset. I'll give him a few more days to calm down before I try again." She says and hangs up. Maurice finishes cleaning and sits back down on the bed. He stares at the phone waiting for it to ring. Shino is sitting down on a chair with a red handprint on both sides of his face. "Sorry Ma for making you worry like that." He says. "Damn it boy. You had me real worried. Go off and get yourself thrown in prison. What the hell is going on in that head of yours?" She asks. "Nothing. This was one of Karen's wishes." He replies. "Are you eating at all? You look thinner." Ma says looking closely at him. "Yeah." He says. "Don't you lie to me, boy. When was your last meal?" She asks. "Six days ago." He says. Ma glares at him and then backhands him. "You stay right there. I will be back in a bit." She says coldly and leaves. She returns a little bit later with several bags from KFC. "Eat. There is plenty there so start eating." She says. Shino digs in like a hungry dog. Scizor pops out of his pokeball and scares Ma accidentally. She slaps him and says "Don't be scaring me like that." Shino and Scizor devour the food in minutes. "Thanks Ma. That tasted real good. I think I could sleep for a week now." Shino says rubbing his belly. He hugs her and heads for the door. "Take care of yourself." She says. Shino nods and the guard leads him back to his cell where he quickly fell asleep. For the entire next week he slept soundly and nothing could wake him. During that week Ash and Jesse hung around Heaven and did some sightseeing. As for Maurice and Guadalupe well, due to a series of odd events they have not spoken to each other. Blackouts. Misplaced cellphones. Dead phone batteries. Tree branches taking out the phone line when Maurice picks up the phone to answer it. And of course the newspaper calling at the weirdest times. Maurice's right leg is in a cast and several broken phones lay strewn about his home. Along with some broken furniture. Maybe next time.

Sunday, December 28, 2008

Ash and Jesse walk out of the Pokecenter around noon and head towards the gym. There was a line so they headed toward the cafe across the street. While they are eating Akurei pulls up a chair and sits down with them. "Good afternoon." He says. "What do you want?" Ash asks. "What's with the attitude?" Akurei replies. "Nothing. Just nervous about the Gym battle." Ash says. "Don't worry to much about it. Diego isn't that tough. (Jesse gets up and heads towards the ladies room) Now Ash, it seems you have done quite well. A beautiful girlfriend and working on your last badge." Akurei says. "What's your point?" Ash asks. "Be at the top of the mountain at ten o'clock tonight. And you had better come alone. I'll watch Jesse for you." Akurei says. "Keep your hands off her." Ash shoots back as Jesse walks back to the table. "What was that about?" Jesse asks. "He wants me to be on top of the mountain at ten o'clock tonight for some reason." Ash replies. "You should go and see what he wants. I am going to bed early tonight." Jesse says. Back in prison Shino is sitting in his cell trying to heal his broken bones. "Damn." He says finding another one. A guard walks in and says "The warden wants to see you. (Shino steps into the hall and the guard sees the wounds) Are you alright? What the hell happened to you?" "I'm fine. Just need to rest for a couple days and I will be back to normal. Did your kid like the autograph?" Shino replies walking down the hall. "Very much. Would you mind if I brought him in so he can meet you?" The guard asks. "That's fine. How about next week. My schedule is packed this week." Shino says with a grin. The guard laughs and knocks on the Warden's door. Shino walks in and sits down. Meanwhile Maurice is on his hands and knees groveling before Guadalupe. "How could you have such little trust in me or your brother? I realize psychics are complicated but there is no reason to think I would cheat on you." She says. "I am so sorry. I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me." Maurice begs. "I don't know. This is going to take some time. For now pack your bags and get out." She says turning her back on him. Maurice gets up and packs his bags. As he walks out the door he looks back at her. Ash and Jesse are standing in line when it starts snowing. "That is odd." Jesse says. "What is?" Ash replies. "There is snow all over the place and its snowing, yet we are out here in shorts and T-shirts." She says. "Yeah it is." Ash says looking around at the snow. A couple more hours go by and Ash is finally at the door. As he reaches for the handle he notices the "closed" sign. "You have got to be kidding me." Ash says. Jesse checks her watch. "Its six o'clock. Lets go sight seeing for a bit. At nine thirty they head back to the Pokecenter. "Well you have a date, so I am going to go to bed. Good night." She says and kisses him. Ash kisses her back and backs her against the wall. While they are kissing Akurei pulls up on his motorcycle. He revs the engine startling them. "Hope I didn't interrupt anything." He says. "Yes, please leave." Ash says. "Can't but I will be more then happy to finish where you left off." Akurei says. Ash glares at him and says "Not a chance. She was going to bed. And you are going to lead me to the top of that mountain." Ash climbs onto the back of the bike. They ride off. Shino on the other hand is getting his usual nightly beating from the night guards. They throw him back in his cell and he lays there laughing demonically. Ash reaches the summit and looks around. There is no one up there. The moon is so bright and big from this height that it is almost like daylight. Misty walks out from behind a boulder and says "Sorry to call you away like this but I wanted to talk to you alone." She says and walks towards him. "Misty? What did you want to talk about?" Ash says looking around. Akurei has gone back to the Pokecenter and picked Jesse up. Akurei puts Jesse on his back and runs up the side of the mountain. They hide behind another boulder and Jesse quietly listens and watches. Misty runs over and hugs Ash tightly. He finds himself unable to move and hugs her back. "Oh, Ash. I am so sorry for hurting you. I thought you were the problem in our relationship but I was the one to blame. I pushed and pushed and finally pushed you away. Now I am afraid that I have lost you completely. (Ash opens his mouth to say something but Misty puts her finger to his lips.) Let me finish. I didn't realize how much I actually cared for you till I saw you with Jesse at the canyon in Baseton. Before you say anything let me explain. I called and asked Akurei if had seen you around and he told me you where you were. I then had him follow you around till I got there and then followed you myself. When you kissed her my heart broke. And then the next morning I was waiting for you in the waiting room when you asked her out. My heart completely shattered. I dove behind the counter because I couldn't face you. You looked so happy. I haven't seen you smile like that since you asked me out. Then just a few days ago when I saw your picture in the paper about you and her staying in that fantasy hotel I just lost it. I came here immediately. Ash, I know I hurt you and I am honestly and truly sorry for that. Could you find it in your heart to forgive me and take me back?" Misty with tears streaming down her face. Jesse is sitting there nervously. "Shit. I just lost the best thing that has ever happened to me. What am I going to do now?" Jesse says to herself and starts sobbing. "Misty, I will admit that seeing you with James pissed me off beyond belief. I also know why you dumped me. It was because all I ever talked about, Jesse helped me figure that out. She has helped me a lot since I met her. As well as Shino and Karen. They all helped me become the person I am today. You helped more then anyone and I thank you for that. You were my first love and I will always love you but I am not in love with you. I love Jesse. (Jesse looks at him and smiles with tears of joy running down her face.) She has taught me so much in the last few weeks. As for the picture, nothing happened. That happened to be the only place with open rooms. Had I known earlier how you really felt about me then things may of turned out differently. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to Jesse." Ash says and kisses her cheek before turning to walk away. Akurei shoves Jesse out from behind the boulder and Ash sees her. She runs up to him and hugs him tightly. "Ash do you really mean it?" Jesse asks with tears still running down her cheeks. "Yes. I love you Jesse." Ash says hugging her back. Misty falls to her knees and starts sobbing uncontrollably. "I love you too, Ash." Jesse says and kisses him passionately. Akurei walks over to Misty and picks her up. "Come on. Lets go get you something to drink." Akurei says carrying her off.

The summit may of been in sight but it was just out of reach. The path they were walking on had been taken out in a landslide a couple weeks before. "Great. Now what?" Jesse asks looking at the thirty foot gap separating them from the rest of the path. "Leap of Faith." Ash says reading the sign. They look down and see several bodies rotting on the mountainside below them. There is absolutely no way around this. Guess I should of explained this path better. Its like a wooden walkway that is about fifty to two hundred feet above the mountainside. Ash lets out a Pidgeot and before Ash can say anything a major wind gust blows Pidgeot straight down into the mountain. Ash looks down and sees a fresh blood splatter. "That's not going to work." He says. Diego is standing on the other side of the gap looking and laughing silently at them. "I love when tourists come to visit." Diego says. "How the hell are we supposed to jump that?" Jesse asks. "Have faith and take a running leap." Diego replies. Ash takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He takes a few steps back and runs for the gap. Jesse does the same thing. Sitting in his cell Shino is quietly making water float in mid air from the leaking ceiling. His stomach growls and breaks the silence. Meanwhile in Devil's Mind, Guadalupe and Maurice are getting it on with one another when Guadalupe screams Shino's name at the worst possible moment. Maurice practically falls backwards off the bed. "What?!?!" he says surprised. "Nothing. Its just that I have been sensing his presence for some reason." She replies. "How long has that been going on? You were cheating on me with my best friend?" Maurice says grabbing his clothes and storming out still naked. A couple women outside stop what they are doing and stare at him with smiles on their faces. One of them shudders and collapses on the ground with an orgasmic look in her eyes. "That son of a bitch!" Maurice says getting into his car. Ash and Jesse open their eyes and see that they are floating in midair. Diego walks over to them in the air laughing. "Beautiful paint job huh?" Diego says knocking on the boards beneath his feet. The thirty foot section that was supposedly knocked out in a landslide is actually a well painted section that looks like the ground below. Even the dead bodies are fake. "That's not right." Ash says. Diego stops laughing and helps them up. "I know but it is so funny to watch people on this bridge. Follow me." He says and leads them into town. "Welcome to the highest town in all of the entire Pokemon League. You are currently standing at over fifteen thousand feet up. And if you climb that (points to a large mountain a mile away) it will make it over seventeen thousand feet up. I highly recommend it. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The gym will be open tomorrow afternoon so have some fun. Oh, before I forget the fantasy hotel is over there (points to a hotel). " Diego says and walks away quickly. Ash blushes and looks over to where he pointed. A massive banner is hung up over the fantasy hotel that says "WELCOME ASH AND JESSE!!" Jesse turns a deep red and quickly runs to the pokecenter. Back in the prison one of the guards who beats Shino opens the cell door around three in the morning. "Wake up scumbag." He says kicking Shino in the ribs then grabs him by the hair. He drags Shino all the way to the exercise area which is dark. Once inside Shino gets to his feet and looks around. As he turns around something hits him in the face sending him flying. "How could you do that?" someone says running at Shino. Shino quickly rolls to the side and hops to his feet. "Do what?" Shino replies and backs away a little. "Don't deny it! I know what the two of you did." someone says and the lights come on, illuminating Maurice. Tears are running down his cheeks. "I have no clue what you are talking about. What is it you think I have done?" Shino replies. Maurice ignores him and lunges at him. Shino monkey flips him into the wall. "I thought you were my friend. I considered you my brother. Hell, you were closer to me then my own family and you still stabbed me in the back. Wasn't one enough? You could of had anyone? Why her?" Maurice says having gotten up and started throwing punches. Shino easily dodges the punches. "Just calm down. You know you won't land a punch until you do. What do you mean could of had anyone?" Shino asks genuinely confused. Maurice doesn't say a word but throws more punches. Shino finally has enough and blocks the next right hook, then clotheslines him. Before Maurice could get back up Shino drives his knee into Maurice's chest and knocks the wind from his lungs. "Now that you are laying there explain to me what has been going on. I have been in solitary confinement since I have been here. They treat me like the lowest thing in the world. So whatever it is that you think I did I am sorry if I actually did something." Shino explains sitting down next to him. Maurice regains his composer and sits up. "Tell me, I have to know, how long has it been going on?" Maurice asks quietly. He doesn't even look Shino in the eyes. "Like I keep telling you, I have no clue what you are talking about. I don't even know what day it is. So are you going to tell me the problem or are we going to beat the hell out of one another? Either one is fine. I could use some exercise." Shino says. Maurice smashes Shino upside the head with a fifty pound weight from a nearby weight machine. Shino rolls across the floor leaving a blood trail. He hops up and blood is flowing down the side of his head. Maurice tackles him and starts hitting him with two ten pound weights. "I am going to kill you for what you did!" Maurice says striking him over and over. Shino tries to block but Maurice pins his arms down with his knees. "DIE! DIE! DIE! BY MY HANDS! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Maurice shouts as he pummels him repeatedly. Shino lays the motionless and Maurice gets up. He looks at the weights in his hands and notices the dents in them. Shino gets up very slowly and as he is bent over Maurice grabs the fifty pound weight and upper cuts Shino. When Shino hits the ground Maurice slams the weight down on his chest. The sound of bones breaking echoes throughout the prison. Shino laid there coughing up blood and holding his ribs. "I never thought you would actually sink this low. I know you have done some low and terrible things in your life, but this, this is unforgivable." Maurice says picking up more weights. He stands over Shino's head with them and says "I'll see you in hell." Shino brings his legs up and kicks the weights into Maurice's stomach. Maurice drops the weights and they don't hit the ground. Instead they float there, in fact anything loose in the room is floating. "I am tired of this shit. (grabs Maurice by the throat and pushes him against the wall) The next words out of your mouth had better be the reason you are so pissed at me." Shino says through gritted teeth. "Fu..." Maurice attempts to say. Shino slams him against the wall and says "Try it again but this time start with I am pissed because." "I... am... pissed... (Shino loosens his grip a little) because you are having an affair with Guadalupe." Maurice says and Shino lets go completely. A confused look comes over his face. "Excuse me?" Shino says. "You heard me you bastard. You are having sex with Guadalupe." Maurice says. "Since when? And why was I not informed of this development?" Shino says. "What do you mean?" Maurice asks. "I have never had an interest in her like that. Yeah she's beautiful woman but she has eyes for you and you alone. I may be a cold blooded murder and a thief but stealing my own brother's woman? That is beneath me. Where did you get this idea?" Shino says. "Well we were doing it and when she peaked she called out your name." Maurice explains. Shino shakes his head and takes a deep breath. "Alright sit down. (they sit down) If we were having an affair I wouldn't be in prison. Also Aurora would be sending her usual threats to her. And did it ever occur to you that maybe her fantasy in her head got out of control? (Maurice glares at him) Calm down. I seriously doubt she thinks of me like that. Did you ask her why she called me name out?" Shino explains. "She said she felt your presence for some reason." Maurice replies. Shino thinks hard for a moment and says "Of course! I have been practicing my psychic abilities more often lately. Maybe she has just picked up on my psychic waves? (Maurice sits there quietly) You stormed out and came straight here, didn't you? (Maurice nods) Dumbass. Go straight home and you better have some jewelry or something she really likes because your ass is in the doghouse. First off you don't listen to her. Second you just proved you don't trust her and third you let your emotions get the best of you. (Maurice just nods) Go on. Get home and beg for forgiveness." Shino says. "Sorry about all this." Maurice says getting up to go. "Don't worry about it. Nothing new. Now get going." Shino replies and Maurice leaves.

Ash walks into the arena and Aurora is standing there in a school girl outfit. "Nice to see you again, Ash." She says. "Yeah. And you are?" Ash replies. "How rude. (Aurora pouts in that cute yet seductive way) I'm Aurora. We have met a few times before. How can you forget me?" She says. "Oh, now I remember. Sorry, I am bad with names and faces. It is good to see you again. What's with the outfit?" Ash says. A smile overcomes her. "It helps me win matches. I flash a little thigh and the trainers forget about the match. Although there are a few who can resist my charms. Shall we begin?" She says. Jesse sits down on a chair and Ash pulls out a pokeball. Aurora tosses out a pokeball and a Poliwrath comes out. Ash switches pokeballs and tosses out a Venomoth. "What an unusual choice?" Aurora says, "You know what to do Poliwrath." Poliwrath opens his mouth and a fine mist comes billowing out. In seconds the room is filled with the mist and its so dense you can't even see the field. Ash smiles and says "Now! Just like we practiced." Venomoth lands quietly on the ground and begins to flap its wings like it is injured. Poliwrath makes its way over and just before it gets there Venomoth takes flight. Venomoth does this a couple more times and each time Poliwrath misses him by seconds. "Second stage, Now!" Ash yells. Venomoth takes to the sky and uses whirlwind, blowing the mist out the door. Poliwrath is covered in a purple powder. Aurora opens her mouth to yell but it was to late. The powder has taken effect. Poliwrath starts having a seizure and his eyes roll back into his head. Foam forms in its mouth and its skins starts liquefying. Before for long the bones are melting and Poliwrath is no more. "Very well played. You were the first trainer to ever keep your cool in a situation like that. Here's the badge." Aurora says handing him the badge then giving him a kiss on the cheek. A light blue lipstick kiss is left on his cheek. "There that should drive those other trainers crazy. Tell me, how did you know I would use that technique?" She says. "Shino trained me to fight against all kinds odds. He also told me you and your siblings can control certain elements." Ash replies. "I see. Speaking of him. I saw him yesterday. He looked like shit. But for some reason he is happy. You two take care. (She leans over to Jesse and whispers) You caught yourself a decent guy." Aurora says. Ash and Jesse head back to their room. "Anything you want to do?" Ash asks. "You serious?" Jesse says shocked. "What do you mean by that?" Ash says surprised. "I thought you would of wanted to rush off for the next badge. Like normal." Jesse replies. "I do but I realized that's what pissed Misty off so I decided to take things easy and enjoy myself." Ash says. Jesse smiles and kisses him. "I guess I did catch a decent guy." She says to herself. While they are eating a siren goes off and the entire town starts running for cover. Ash looks outside and the streets are empty. "What the hell is going on?" Ash asks the waitress. "Sorry, it was a warning system to alert us that Shino was on his way. They are removing it today. I guess somebody set it off accidentally." The waitress says. The next two days Ash and Jesse explore the town and on the third day Jesse says she is ready to head to the next town. While they are walking to the path for the next town another trainer runs up to them with a newspaper. "Can you sign this for me?" He asks. Ash looks at the kid for a second then takes the pen. As he signs it he happens to see the picture on the front page. Ash grabs the paper from the kid and opens it up. On the front page was a picture of Ash and Jesse walking into the fantasy hotel and below it was a picture of them walking out of the fantasy hotel. The headline read "Not so good and decent anymore." The kid snatched the paper back from Ash and took off running. "What? How the hell did this happen?" Ash says. "All the paparazzi that used to follow Shino around were forced to find new celebrities to harass." Akurei says walking up behind them. "Why aren't you in any tabloids?" Jesse asks. "I killed a photographer after I told him to stop taking pictures. He didn't stop so I didn't stop punching. Fair trade." Akurei replies. "What brings you here?" Ash asks. Akurei's eyes follow the path all the up till it disappears into the cloud. "Just checking on my family. That's all." Akurei says and heads toward the path. "In a few hours this path will be closed so you may want to get some mountain gear before heading up." Akurei says looking back over his shoulder at them. An hour later Ash and Jesse have brand new mountain gear and start up the path. Ash stops next to a sign post. "Pathway to Heaven." The sign says. Ash and Jesse look at each other and laugh. Just as Akurei said the path closed a couple hours after they started. The wind began blowing fiercely and snow was being whipped around. Ash and Jesse found a small cave and went in. Pikachu stood there shaking like a leaf until Ash put him into his pokeball. While Ash struggled with the tent, Jesse got a fire going. In a short period of time the fire was raging and the tent was up. The cave began to warm up and while they watched the fire, sleep overcame them and they slept soundly. The fire burned itself out and the first rays of the morning sun came flooding into the cave waking the travelers. Once everything was packed up they continued on their trek to the next town. While they hiking Jesse looked around, there was nothing but the tops of clouds for as far as the eye could see. "Who in their right mind would put a town and gym all the way up here?" She asks. "Have no clue but I think I can see the summit." Ash replies. Sure enough the summit was in sight but not in reach.

The guard leads Shino into the visitor room and Shino sits down. A couple minutes later Akurei walks in. "Long time no see." He says. Shino nods his head and his eyes finally adjust themselves. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Akurei asks. "This would be the first bit of light I have seen since I have been here. I am in solitary confinement the entire time. They spray me with a fire hose for a shower. Its nice here. Just what I expected. No special treatment." Shino replies. "Glad you are enjoying yourself. While you have been getting such great treatment your little bug has made quite a commotion out there. He killed over a hundred trainers and then displayed their heads on national television." Akurei explains. "I see. Where is he now?" Shino replies. "Aurora has him. Oh, you will be happy to hear. Ash and Jesse are a couple now. Ash asked her right in front of Misty. I guess they didn't see her. I myself didn't see it I was getting a medical exam at the time. (Shino raises and eyebrow) I have to admit. Its not the same out there without your ugly mug popping up on the news all the time. Well, I need to get going so I will let Aurora come in and talk. Later." Akurei says and leaves. Akurei isn't out the door yet and Aurora is running through it. She jumps into Shino's lap and starts kissing him. The guards watching on the monitors are all glued to it hoping she gets undressed. "Is there something you want me to do for you? Maybe relieve some "pressure" you have building up?" She says in between kisses. The guards start making jokes about her. *You can use your imagination on what those are.* Suddenly the camera fogs up and the view is gone. "DAMN!!" All the guards yell. The entire room is filled with mist. "That's what happens when she gets real excited. Or gets off. You safest bet is to stay here and wait." Akurei says to the guards. They sit back down and wait patiently. About a half hour later the room clears up and Aurora is laying on the table panting with a big smile on her face. Shino leans over her and whispers into her ear "Thanks and I am sorry." She turns her head toward him and says "Its alright. I can wait for as long as it takes." Shino kisses her and knocks on the door. He goes back to his cell and once the door closes he spits out a pokeball. *I am not sure if I made this clear but Shino still has on the necklace Karen gave him.* And out of the pokeball pops Scizor. "Yo." Scizor says and lays down on the cot. "Glad to see you again." Shino says. "So the rumors were true." Someone else says making Shino and Scizor jump. Ash awakens in a hospital bed and looks around. Jesse walks up to him in a sexy nurse's outfit and his eyes bulge out of his head. She has the white thigh high stockings held up with a white garter belt and white high heel shoes along with a short white nurse's gown and white nurse's hat. "Good. The patient is awake now. How about an exam?" She says. Ash just looks her over from head to toe a few times and with each time his eyes move slower over her body. "I do believe you are starting to swell up." She says and Ash looks down. He quickly covers himself with the pillow. "What the hell happened and why am I wearing a hospital gown?" Ash asks. "Well I picked this room because the bed looked the most comfortable. Actually the caveman room had the best bed. But that extremely tiny outfit would of killed you. Glad to see you liked my choice. As for your clothes a machine dressed us. It was very unusual. Just lay back and relax. I called the gym and the leader won't be back till tomorrow. I am guessing the line will still be there. In other words we (puts down the clipboard) have (climbs onto the oversized hospital bed) all night and all day (straddles Ash's waist) to have some fun. (Kisses him deeply)." Jesse says seductively. Ash tries to complain but gives in and kisses her back. Back in prison Shino is sitting on the floor and Scizor is laying on the cot. "How the hell did you get in here, Mewtwo?" Shino asks. "I have my ways of persuading people." Mewtwo replies before heading back into his pokeball. "I am tired, so good night." He says and the pokeball closes. "Yeah, there ain't much to do is there. (Shino shakes his head no.) Guess I will go to bed as well. Wake me when there is something to do." Scizor says and goes in his pokeball. "The gang is all together again." The little black ball says. "Yeah. I guess we all are. It just doesn't feel the same without Karen around." Shino says before falling asleep himself. The next morning Ash and Jesse are sound asleep in the hospital bed. Ash has Jesse wrapped up in his arms and she is smiling. Around noon Jesse wakes up first and rolls over to face Ash. "He has grown up quite a bit since I first met him. Who would of thought we would end up in a fantasy hotel together." Jesse thinks to herself and kisses Ash. Ash opens his eyes and smiles. "Morning." He says. "Morning. Wanna get some breakfast?" She replies. They get up and Ash realizes he is completely naked. He looks back at Jesse, who is bent over and completely naked as well. "Did we?" He asks. "No. We got caught up in the heat of things and stripped each other then made out for awhile. I don't think this place is appropriate place to do it the first time. Maybe when we get a fancy hotel room. Or I can't wait anymore and take you by force." She explains. "Sorry for being like this. I have never been past holding hands. If I get too annoying feel free to dump me." Ash says. Jesse walks over and hugs him. "Your innocent good boy act is one thing I like about you. It would take more then not getting laid to get rid of me. Now lets forget about this for awhile and go get some food. I'm starved." She says. They finish getting dressed and go eat. The next day Ash wakes up early and heads for the gym. He stands in line for a couple hours till he finally gets inside the gym. Then waits another half hour till its his turn to fight against the Gym Leader. A few minutes before its his turn whistling (the kind guys do to a beautiful woman) is heard from the trainers behind him. "Hey baby, why don't you come over here and keep me company. I will show you the time of your life." A trainer says and Ash turns around to see Jesse walking toward him. "Sorry, but I don't think you could even last long enough to show me to the door." Jesse shoots back at the guy. The other trainers laughs and he runs off with tears in his eyes. Jesse hugs Ash and he says "I thought you would of slept all day today after last night." The trainer right behind them looks at them wide eyed. "Nah. I wanted to be here to cheer you on. Although I am pretty sore. Tonight just take it easy and go slow. Those three hours were incredible." Jesse replies. The jaw of the trainer behind them drops and his eyes roll back. Then he faints. Jesse looks at him and whispers "Guess we should keep talk about this in private." Ash agrees and its now Ash's turn to fight for the badge.

"Last night pretty incredible." Ash says. "Yeah, you really wore me out. Next time take it a little bit easier with my mouth. It really hurts today." Jesse says. Misty quickly ducks behind the counter and covers her mouth. "It can't be. Did they really do "it" last night? And what's that about hurting her mouth? With what? No, it can't be. Did he put "that" in there so hard that he hurt her? How long did they do "it" to be that tired? Ash did look very exhausted. Oh my God! That means Ash is actually over me. (moaning coming from Nurse Joy's office) How can this be? He promised he would always love me and never leave my side. (moaning turns to muffled screams)" Misty says to herself turning red at the thoughts running through her mind. The muffled screams are now loud enough to be heard down the street. Ash and Jesse are both standing at the front door looking at Nurse Joy's office door. Suddenly it bursts open and a very naked Nurse Joy falls to the floor panting. Misty quickly took this opportunity to hide in the hallway. Akurei walks out in just his boxers. "Excuse us." He says to Ash and Jesse while he picks up Joy. "Every time we do this you wake up everyone on the block." Akurei says to Joy. Her face has an extremely relieved look on it and she is still panting. The office door closes and Ash looks at Jesse. "They were..." Ash says and Jesse nods. Officer Jenny walks in as they are walking out. "Was that Joy screaming?" She asks. Jesse nods and Ash says "She is in her office." Officer Jenny opens the office door. "Now this is a real party. Great you brought the cuffs." Akurei says before the door closes again. Another couple days go by and finally the road has been opened. Over two hundred trainers make their way from Baston to Sanctuary. The next morning Ash and Jesse along with the rest of the trainers make it to Sanctuary. Along the way there were a couple trainers that had died from falling off the trail. Ash and Jesse walked the entire way holding hands and stopped quite a few times to make out. Sanctuary is right in the clouds and has an incredible view of the Dark Islands. "Well if it isn't Ash Ketchum of Pallet town." Someone says. Ash turns around and sees Kyle standing there. Kyle is from one of the first chapters. He showed Ash around and taught him the basics of fighting on the Dark Islands. "Kyle, right? (Kyle nods) Good to see you again." Ash says shaking his hand. "Good to see you made it this far. How about a fight?" Kyle says. Ash smiles and they both pull out a pokeball. Both of them send out a Pikachu. Actually Kyle is dressed in the same clothes as Ash. The only difference is height and hair color. Kyle is taller with blonde hair. "Go Pikachu!" they shout at the same time. Pikachu 1 (Ash's) and Pikachu 2 (Kyle's) square off and stare each other down. Pikachu 2 makes the first move and runs straight for Pikachu 1 who runs at Pikachu 2. When they meet a dust cloud is kicked up. Electricity is sparking throughout the cloud and grunts from the hits are the only sight and sound. A Pikachu screams and an arm flies out of the cloud along with some blood. Ash and Kyle both look on in anticipation. The dust finally settles and Pikachu 2 is the one missing an arm. Pikachu 1 has blood dripping from it's tail in two different spots. The spot close to the base is a wound and the other blood spot is where it severed Pikachu 2's arm with Irontail. Pikachu 2 runs again at Pikachu 1 this time Pikachu 1 crouches down and at the last second bites into Pikachu 2's throat, biting into both jugular veins. Then using Pikachu 2's momentum Pikachu 1 monkey flips him over the side of the cliff. A trail of blood marks the way to the side of the cliff where Pikachu 2 went over. Pikachu 1 spits out the large chunk of flesh in it's mouth. Kyle and Ash look over the edge and a couple hundred feet down a bloody Pikachu body lies motionless and impaled on a sharp rock. "Good match." Ash says. "Yeah. You definitely have come a long way since you started. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to battle a legend like you." Kyle says. "You're welcome. I guess. Why are you talking like that was your final match?" Ash replies. "It was my final match. I told my parents, if I win this tournament then I will continue but if I don't then I will help run the family business." Kyle says. "And what is that?" Ash asks. "Writing and producing porn movies." Kyle replies. He waves goodbye and walks off. Ash's jaw drops at the that last comment. Jesse walks up to him and says "We could make our own little movie if you want." Ash turns bright red at the thought. The two of them head over to the gym and see the line is way too long so they start toward the pokecenter for a room. They get there and all the rooms are filled. The same as the hotels. They come across this small little spa that looks a little suspicious. "What do we have here?" The lady owner says looking at them. "Do you have any rooms to rent?" Ash asks. "Of course, but we don't get many trainers in here." The lady owner says. "How come? It looks real nice in here." Ash says. Jesse is looking at the Koi pond. "Well, we are a fantasy hotel. (Jesse looks at her with a very shocked expression on her face and Ash looks confused.) You obviously have never heard of one. Each room is designed to fill a specific sexual fantasy. Such as the naughty school girl classroom, the nasty nun chapel, and the dirty little nurse exam room. There are others as well. (Ash has turned so red by this point that he could almost pass as a Scizor.) Why don't I give you the book to browse the rooms. Its more discreet that way. Also each room comes with a video camera to tape your fantasy." The lady says handing him a rather thick book. Ash takes it and sits down. Jesse sits next to him and holds back her laughter. "Apparently you must really want to make that video with me?" She says and starts laughing. "Of all the places I pick, I pick this place." Ash says to himself. They look through the book and Ash turns another shade of red with each page. All the while Jesse is as comfortable as can be. "Something wrong Ash?" Jesse says in a sultry voice right in his ear. Ash looks at her with a towel shoved up each nostril to stop the blood. "My. My. Somebody has a dirty mind. We just started dating and he already wants to role-play. Which outfit did you imagine on me that you liked best?" Jesse says climbing onto his lap and whispering into his ear in her sultry voice. Ash is having a sensory overload and points to a picture. Jesse looks at it and blushes. "I never thought you were into S & M. But if that's what you want me in how can I say no." Jesse says. Ash passes out and Jesse sits there smiling and shaking her head. "Maybe I went a little to far this time. He did almost have a heart attack when he saw me in that swimsuit." Jesse says to herself. Meanwhile Shino is sitting in his dark prison cell when the door opens. A guard steps in and says "Excuse me. Mr. Shinogami. You have visitors. Please follow me." The guards jumps when Shino puts his hand on his shoulder. "Lead the way. I can't see that well right now." Shino says trying to get his eyes to adjust to the light.

At five o'clock Ash walks into the room and sees Akurei sitting on the chair dozing. "Ahem." Ash says waking Akurei. "Oh. Ash. Sorry for barging in here like this but I needed some place to hide. And to talk to you." Akurei says standing up. "What about? I need to get changed." Ash replies. "Sure. Have you seen Scizor around?" Akurei asks. Ash opens his bag and pulls out some wrinkled dress clothes. "Nope. Not since his little show on the news awhile ago." Ash says. Akurei looks at the clothes and says "Ok. If you do see him call me and tell him I am looking for him. If you don't mind me asking what is with the dress clothes?" "Jesse told me to dress up for something tonight." Ash replies. "Ah. Come with me. We won't be gone long." Akurei says heading for the door. Ash returns just before six and is dressed in the finest suit money can buy (courtesy of Akurei). Jesse walks out of the room right at six in a expensive evening gown. Her hair is done up along with her nails and make up. An exquisite necklace hangs just above her more then ample chest. They see each other and neither of them say anything for a full minute. "WOW!" they say at the same time. "You look incredible." Ash says finally. "You clean up pretty good yourself." Jesse replies. A limousine pulls up and they get in. They end up at the finest restaurant in town. They sit down at a candle lit table and order their meal. "So Ash, how does it feel to be out on a real date with a real woman?" Jesse asks. Ash blushes instantly having just realized that this was in fact a date. His mouth goes dry and his palms starts sweating. "Calm down. Take a deep breath. Relax. You have made it through all the other meals just fine." Jesse says calmly and grabs his hand. "I ... have ... never ... been on an actual date like this before." Ash says finally. "That's what I thought. Just relax. As long as you don't start talking about pokemon then we won't have any problems." Jesse says. Ash calms down and they enjoy the rest of their meal. After eating they head over to a dance club. After being taught how Ash loosens up and starts to have some fun. Sitting in the V. I. P. section Akurei spots them and laughs at the sight. His phone goes off and he answers it. "Yeah. ... I know where he is. Why?... I see. Well he is in Baseton. ... Yup. Later." He says and hangs up. "This should be interesting." He says with a smile. Off to the east of Baseton (the town Ash and Jesse are currently in) Is a huge canyon and has a spectacular view of the night sky. After dancing Akurei invites them into the V. I. P. section. After a couple minutes he excuses himself and gets on stage to perform. Ash and Jesse knock back a few drinks and are getting closer to each other throughout the night. By the end of Akurei's performance Ash and Jesse are sitting right next to each other. Akurei picks up the tab for them and leaves. They leave shortly after and Jesse whispers something to the driver. A little bit later they pull into the parking lot of the canyon sight seeing area. It overlooks the canyon. The moon is huge and full. There is not a cloud in the sky and the stars are out in full force. They both stare up at the stars for awhile until Jesse shivers. Ash takes his coat off and puts it on her. They are facing each other and slowly getting closer. She puts her hand on his cheek and smiles. Ash takes a deep breath and kisses her full on the lips. She wraps her arms around his neck and holds him there for several minutes. When they finally break the kiss Ash and Jesse are blushing slightly. "Not bad for a twerp." She says playfully. Ash laughs a little and kisses her again. This time catching her off guard. They spend more then an hour there kissing one another and the entire time Misty sits there with tears running down her cheeks watching. Akurei looks back at her and says "Should of made your move sooner." He quietly rolls his bike away and drives Misty to the pokecenter. As she gets off the bike he says "Don't do anything stupid." She just nods and heads inside to her room. The next day Ash wakes up and tries to stretch. His left arm is trapped under something. He looks over and sees Jesse sleeping peacefully. She stirs a little and snuggles closer to him. "Don't get up just yet." She says sleepily. Ash pulls the blanket up over both of them and puts his other arm over her. Misty has been sitting in the waiting room all morning long waiting for them. Akurei walks in and Nurse Joy tackles him. "Come back for some more of my special care, huh?" She she says kissing his neck. "Not right now. In a little bit." He says getting back up. "What do you want?" Misty says. "Come with me." He says holding the door open. They leave and a couple hours later they return. Misty's eyes are red from crying but she looks a little happier. Akurei takes Nurse Joy by the hand back to her office. Jesse finally gets up and Ash stretches. "I'm impressed. You woke up in my bed and didn't flip out." She says standing there in her silk shorts and matching spaghetti strap top. "I know. Its weird. Of course you were laying on my arm. That made it rather difficult." Ash says staring at her body. She notices his gaze and smiles. "And what do you think you are looking at?" She says jokingly. Ash freezes and looks at her terrified expecting to get hit. "I'm kidding. You can look all you want." She says. "Umm. Did... anything...... happen..... last night?" Ash asks. Jesse laughs and says "And what if something did? What would you do now?" She says quizzically. Ash turns bright red and covers himself with the blanket. "I finally had sex for the first time and I don't remember it. How messed up is that? What do I do now? Wait, what if she ends up pregnant? Was I any good?" Ash continues this train of thought until he feels something sitting on his stomach. Jesse pulls the blankets off his head and says "You have got to learn to take a joke. Nothing happened last night. Aside from a very intense make out session. At the canyon. In the limo on the way here. The parking lot of the Pokecenter. The waiting room. And finally here. We were both so worn out that we fell asleep. Okay?" Ash returns to normal. She is sitting on his stomach and moves her knees closer so she can lean forward. "We could just get it on right now?" She whispers in his ear before kissing him. Ash looks down and sees straight into her shirt while she is whispering in her ear. Jesse sits back on his stomach and smiles deviously. "It seems you enjoyed the view very much." She says reaching behind her. Ash blushes and says "Wait! Not right now. I think we need to slow down." Ash grabs her wrists and holds on to them. "That's fine. Whenever you are ready for the next level just let me know." She says "I never knew you were into the rough stuff. She adds looking at her wrists. Ash lets go and she climbs off him. She disappears into the bathroom and he lets out a sigh of relief. "You better not be doing anything naughty out there without my supervision." She says with a laugh. Ash just lays there more exhausted then he was when he went to bed. Once Jesse cleaned up and dressed the two of them headed out the room. As they are walking down the hall to the waiting room Ash says "I have a question. From what happened last night does that mean we are dating now?" Jesse smiles and says "That is up to you. You just need to ask the question." As they enter the waiting room Ash stops her and says "Jesse would you be my girlfriend?" Jesse blushes and gives him a long deep kiss. "Of course." She replies. Misty stands there completely shocked at what just happened.

Ash and Jesse are sitting at the Pokecenter glued to the news. Neither of them can believe what they are hearing or seeing. "I can't believe he would just turn himself in like that." Ash says. "This is Jeff Rousch reporting live from a forest preserve just outside Devil's Mind. This area is normally very peaceful and a spot where newbie trainers come to train but today was not the case. Hundreds of trainers have flocked to this spot to try and capture, yes I said capture, Shino's infamous pokemon, Scizor. (a large cloud of smoke starts billowing out of the trees.) As you can see he is putting up quite a fight. According to the locals a secret valley around here is said to be home to the metal bug pokemon. (It starts to rain) That's very odd there are no clouds in the sky. (he looks at his sleeve and sees that its blood falling) OH MY GOD!!! What the hell? (Scizor comes walking out of the now burning forest dragging something behind him.) Folks I would advise you to stay far away from this area at all costs." Jeff says before the front half of his body falls to the ground. Scizor grabs the camera and while filming himself kills the cameraman. "Attention all you pathetic trainers out there. If you wanna come after that's fine but be fore warned. This will happen to you and your pokemon. (pans down to a large pile of human and pokemon heads.) I am not joking. I don't care if you are a man, woman, or child. You will all meet the same fate. (pans back to his face.) I WANT TO BE LEFT THE HELL ALONE!!! You have been warned." Scizor says and drops the camera so it faces the remains of Jeff. Ash looks away from the TV and tries to calm his stomach. Jesse sits there absolutely stunned. "That was Shino's Scizor. I don't know if that was some sort of challenge or warning? Do you Diane?" The male anchorman says. "Not sure Tom. But if I were a trainer I would steer clear of that pokemon. Now on to sports." Diane says. Before the camera switches to the sports guy, Mewtwo steps out of the forest. Two trainers run towards him and a purple flash of light is seen before blood sprays the camera lens. A few days go by and the Scizor thing has died down. Trainers have stopped going after him and sightings of a strange purple cat have increased. Ash and Jesse left Current and head into a nearby cave that leads to the next town at the bottom of the large mountain. "I hate dark places like this." Jesse says scooting closer to Ash. "I talked to the locals they said there is no dangerous pokemon in the section where the main path is." Ash says as Pikachu collapses on the ground. Ash picks him up and he is passed out. Ash takes off running with Jesse right behind him. An hour later the arrive at the town. Nurse Joy greets them at the pokecenter and Ash hands her Pikachu. "He just collapsed." He says. Joy smiles and says "No need to worry. You just came from Current, right? (Ash nods) He needs some rest. You see Current is like a charger for electric pokemon. The electric pokemon get so much energy from just standing there that when they leave their body returns to normal. So in a couple hours he will be back to normal." Ash sighs in relief and says "Where is the gym?" "We don't have a gym here. The pokemon gym is a couple miles up the mountain. However the only path leading there has been shutdown due to the extremely dense fog." Nurse Joy says smiling. "That sucks. Guess we have no choice but to sit around and wait." Ash replies and heads for the couch. Jesse has already fallen asleep on a nearby chair. Around sunset Ash is awoken by Jesse. "Come on. I got us a room." Jesse says holding up a key. They walk down the hall to the room and Ash is sweating bullets. "I have never been invited to sleep in a girl's room before. What should I do?" Ash says to himself. Jesse gives him a smile and opens the door. Inside are two beds and Ash sighs in relief. "Why Ash were you thinking something perverted just now?" Jesse says teasingly. Ash's face turns even more red and she laughs. At the prison were Shino is being held three guards enter his cell. Shino is sitting on the ground with his back against the wall. "So, this is the Great and Powerful Shinogami?" One of them says. "He doesn't look all that powerful to me." Says the second one. The third one kicks Shino in the face and the back of his head hits the wall. Shino does nothing. The guards then began to kick him repeatedly till they were wore out. As they were leaving the first guard turns towards Shino and says "Just think. Everyday for the rest of your life we get to beat your ass." Shino sits back up and doesn't say a word. The cell door slams shut and Shino holds up the little black ball. "It appears that this will be a relaxing vacation." Shino says with a smile. The ball lights up for a second and then fades. The following morning Ash and Jesse are sitting down at a restaurant having breakfast when Jesse says "There are a hell of a lot of trainers here. More then usual." The waitress sets their bill down and says "Yup. The pass to the next badge has been closed for a couple weeks now and all the trainers have been stuck here." The waitress walks off. "Well I can hone my skills for awhile." Ash says grinning. Jesse rolls her eyes and sighs. For the next few days Ash does nothing but battle the trainers. He manages to actually send several home. On the fourth day Ash doesn't get up instead he stays in bed. Jesse wakes up around noon and sees him still sleeping. "Wow. I can't believe the runt actually gets tired of battling." She says wrapping her robe around her and quietly walking over to his bed. She looks down at him and smiles. Ash wakes up and looks straight into her eyes. He blinks a couple times and jumps making her chuckle. "Just calm down. You have never been around a woman before have you?" Jesse says. Ash quickly covers himself with his pillow and shakes his head. "No. Misty was the only girlfriend I have ever had." Ash replies. "Is that so?" Jesse says. "Do what you like today. Just be back here and dressed up by six sharp." She continues with a smile.

Friday, December 12, 2008

The following morning the courthouse is completely packed. All the news crews have the courthouse surrounded and inside people are packed in like sardines. Akurei and his siblings show up outside and everyone makes a path. They come to the courtroom doors where four guards are posted. "Sorry no admittance for anyone." One guard says. "Why?" Akurei says. "Shino wants no one inside." the guard replies. Akurei shoves the guards out of the way and opens the doors. "You know you could of just knocked." Shino says. "What is the meaning of this?" Akurei snaps. "Are you just going to give up and run and hide?" Diego says. "Yeah. Something like that. My entire purpose was to protect her and I was the reason she died." Shino says. "Bullshit. She knew what could happen if she stayed with you and she chose to stick with you through the good and bad. Now she is gone and you are just going to give up? You are a real fucking coward!" Akurei says angrily grabbing Shino by the shirt. "Say what you will. Everyone I have ever loved has been killed right in front of my own eyes. My parents died right in front of my by some deranged serial killer. He hacked them to tiny bits with a katana. My aunt had her skull bashed in by some high school pricks. And now Karen died because some asshole agent wanted me dead. Tell me what is left for me? Put yourself in my place. Lets say all of your siblings died in some horrible way right in front of you. What would the great and powerful Akurei do? You don't know what is like to watch someone you truly love and care for die right in front of you. To watch the light leave their eyes. When something like that happens to you then come and talk to me." Shino explains and shoves Akurei back. "What is going to come of this? You get sent to prison and what? Rot there for the rest of your life? What a great end to the Infamous Shinogami." Akurei shoots back. "I have taken countless lives for more then a decade. I am a cold blooded killer. What makes you think I should be on the streets?" Shino says. "You just can't stand being alone." Akurei says. "Alright. Suppose I don't go to prison I stay out. I end up going with Aurora. Another agency comes after me and end up killing her what would you say then? Your precious little sister gets killed because she is with me. What would you do then? Huh?" Shino snaps back. Akurei stands there quietly. "That's what I thought. This is my life and if I choose to rot in prison then so be it. I would rather have you hate me for doing this then for being the reason why your sister died. This is the best option I have." Shino says. The judge comes in and Shino sits down. Shino looks at the judge and laughs. "Good to see you are still on the bench." Shino says. "Yeah. Its been along time. You were my first case and now you are going to be my last." The judge says. "Lucky for me then. I get the only judge who will actually give me a fair punishment for my crimes." Shino says. "I am to understand that you wanted this court case to happen? (Shino nods) Ok. After reading over the evidence against you there are really only two options I can do. One is the death penalty. Which I think would be the easiest way for you to end your pain. Option two is life in prison without chance of parole. Tacking on the other life sentences would be rather redundant. So I have decided to go with option two. You will spend the rest of your life in a prison cell at the Forgotten Super Maximum Security Prison on Forgotten Island." The judges explains. "Would you like to say something before I make this final?" The judge quickly adds. "Yes. I want to thank you for that judgement. As for my few friends I bid you farewell. You can hate me all you want for this but this is what Karen and I had discussed before she died. This is sort of her dying wish and I will honor it. As for my possessions I leave them to you Akurei." Shino says. The judge bangs the gavel and the bailiffs take Shino into custody. Shino smiles as the bailiffs haul him outside. The crowd outside cheers as Shino comes out. "Serves you right!" "I hope you drop the soap!" Rot in prison you scumbag!" "I hope they throw away the key!" "You deserve so much worse then this." "Hope they torture your ass in prison!" "Karen never loved you, she pitied you." More insults were shouted and almost everyone who could get close to him slugged him. By the time he made it downstairs he was bleeding from his nose and mouth. His right eye was swollen and the left one had a nasty cut above it. The bailiffs loaded him into the back of a squad car. The car was specially designed to do high speed pursuits. "Nice to meet you Shino. Today we will be doing over a hundred miles an hour to get you there by dark. The garage doors opened and the driver floored it. He runs over a couple people who were running towards them. Dozens of people in their cars tried to keep up but the squad car was too fast for them. Within two hours Shino was being dropped off at the prison. The guards grabbed him roughly and shoved him all the way to Booking. "Normally I don't allow prisoners to keep their personal items but in your case I will allow it. Just put all your clothes in this box and change into that jumpsuit there." The guard says. A few minutes later Shino is being shoved and pushed all the way to his cell. As he passes all the other cells, the inmates back away and some even cower under their bunks. Shino gets shoved so hard by the guard that he drops his stuff and hits his face on the concrete floor. The two guards stomp on him and and kick him a few times before slamming the door shut on his ankle. The ankle breaks and the solid steel door is all bent up where it hit his ankle. His cell is absolutely pitch black and has one very small window the has been sealed over by bricks. The door is completely solid steel with a small opening in it to put a tray through and that has a small sliding door on it. It is the very last cell on the top floor of the prison. The nearest prisoner is four cells away in any direction. Shino gets his bed made and sits down against the wall on the floor. "So Mr. Shinogami what are you going to do now?" The little black ball asks. "Sit here and enjoy my surroundings. What else is there to do?" Shino replies. "True. There ain't much to do. So what about me?" The balls says rolling around. "You are free do go whenever you choose. I plan on staying here." Shino says closing his eyes. "Well, I might as well stay as well. Those guards look pretty angry. I have to keep my promise to Her and watch out for you." The ball says floating around. "Good. Now to enjoy a long awaited vacation." Shino says and falls asleep.
