A Misfortune (Pokemon)

Chapter 2: Safety incoming

Ash

"H- ey- Hey!" A voice shouts out as i feel a hand on my shoulder. "Wake up!" I open my eyes, freezing after seeing who it was, a Team Skull member. I pull Nebby closer to my chest protectively. "Woah now." He let's go and carefully lifts his hands up. "What do you want?" I snarl at the man. "Yo, calm down. I ain't want nothin from you."

"Then why are you here?" I shift uncomfortably, I feel so very drained. "Not important. The thing is why the hell are you out in an alley, don't you have a home to go to?" He asks, confusion laced in his voice.

I don't want to go home. What if Kukui yells at me too! What if they take Nebby from me. "I don't want to go back..." Is all I say. I watch as even more confusion appears in his eyes. "I don't want them to take Nebby from me." I pet Nebby carefully hoping that Nebby stays asleep.

"Well you can't just sleep in an alley," He offers me a hand, "so how about you come to Po Town with me?" I just take his hand letting him pull me upwards. It's cold and I'm still tired.

He leads me through the streets of Mele Mele island towards the docks, I think. I know that I shouldn't be this trusting but Team Skull aren't as bad as everyone thinks.

"When we get to the port and sneak onto a boat you can sleep on the way to Ula'Ula island." He tells me, I just nod unable to produce words. He just hums to my nod.

We make it to the docks and wait till no ones looking to sneak onboard. "Oi!" A voice shouts out from behind us once we board the boat. We turn to see three other Team Skull members. These three I know because they are always appearing and causing trouble. Pikachu hops off of my shoulder, sparking at them.

"Why do have that kid with you!? Don't you know that he's been a nuisance to Team Skull!" The blue haired one, Tupp, exclaims. "I do know that Tupp. This kid was unconscious in an alley." They were now looking at me in confusion. "What? Why were you in an alley?" Rapp exclaims.

I can't comprehend what's going on anymore. I can tell they are saying more but I can't hear them. All of a sudden I'm collapsing sideways and watching as the four them lurch forward to catch me. I close my eyes, I'm tired.

Tupp

We were headed towards the docks to head back to Po town when we see the Pikachu kid. Getting closer I noticed one of my fellow gang mates. I tell him the kids a nuisance, then we find out the kid was unconscious in an alley, and now the kid straight up collapsed. Rapp was holding this weird cloud thing that was orginally in the kids arms.

Zipp was making sure the kid was breathing and helping Zurie (team member) check up on him. "He's really cold." Zipp says frowning. The kid's Pikachu was now pressed up against the boy.

Zurie ran off to get the kid some blankets. The question is why the kid was in an alley in the first place and why he isn't with those friends of his.

I take a seat on the deck near the boy. I ain't going soft, it's just- what the fuck is going on? Zurie returns with blankets and carefully cloaks the boy in them. "Do you know why the boy was in an alley?" I ask Zurie. "Not really... except that cloud thing in Rapp's arms is named Nebby and someone or something wants to take Nebby from him. Is what I get in response. Well damn- the kids on the run.
