The Power of Two

chapter 2

There were a bunch of orangish fish along the water known as Magikarp, including a giant one that was actually a robot ship.

"What the heck?" Akito said as he now swam up to it and began to knock on his proving it was made out of metal.

The knock seemed to make three voices cry out. This startled Akito and decided that maybe he should just go on his way and up to the surface and see if he could hitch a ride on a boat. And where he swam up to find a boat along with some Pokemon and people on the boat.

"Do you guys see anything?" one boy with spiked black hair in a vest with a red and white hat asked.

"I think we're okay..." the girl with spiky orange hair said as she held a Pokemon called a Togepi in her arms like she always has.

"Pika..." a yellow Pokemon known as a Pikachu wandered, then saw Akito and looked startled a bit. "PIKA PIIIII!!!" he sounded alarmed from stranger danger.

"What, a stranger, where?!" The girl with long black hair exclaimed and then began to look around.

Pikachu clung to the girl like a surrogate mother.

"There, there, it's okay, Pikachu..." the girl tried to calm the Pokemon.

The boy with the hat came over and looked for the 'stranger'. "Anyone out there?" he asked, a little protectively in case this stranger was a threat.

"Down here." Akito said as he was now right next to the boat's side.

The people and the Pokemon looked down to see Akito.

"PIIIIIKAAAAAA!" Pikachu spazzed out, nearly electrocuting his trainer.

"PIKACHU, CALM DOWN!" the boy tried to settle the electric based Pokemon. "Sorry... He gets weird around new people..." he said to Akito apologetically.

"It's okay, but is he a Pikachu?" Akito asked, knowing all about Pokemon, especially since he watched every episode before and after reading and watching mystery movies and novels.

"Oh, yes, my first and best Pokemon," the boy smiled. "By the way, my name's Ash Ketchum."

The red-haired girl came over, holding her Togepi. "Oh, my... Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, but, um, mind helping me get into your boat?" Akito asked, extending his hand out to them.

"Sure, come here." the stronger tan boy held out his hand to Akito, trying not to get pulled into the ocean himself.

The girl with black hair also helped Akito out of the ocean and onto the boat they were surprised at what they saw. The red-haired girl went to get a towel, then noticed the tail fin before it disappeared and became legs. In the distance, there was an older teenage girl with wavy black hair with a ponytail and ocean blue eyes. She swam away from the boat, quickly going off like she was about to warn someone about something. No one else ever saw her.

"Whew, thanks," Akito said. "By the way, my name is Akito Fudo."

"Hi, Akito." Ash smiled.

"I'm Misty," the red-haired girl smiled. "I'm so glad you're not hurt."

"Yeah, that'd be messy, the name's Tracey." the tan boy added.

"Emi, come meet our guest!" Ash called to the black-haired girl who seemed to resemble the woman Akito met earlier by accident.

"Coming, bro," The black-haired girl said as she made her way over to them. "Hello, I'm Emi and it's so nice to meet you....."

Everything became silent as Emi and Akito's eyes met and felt like they were the only two there.
