pokemon story: the deep connection

Chapter 25: A dream, a feeling and a plan.

Ash's pov

"Fever!?"

And as she said, fever started attacking me head on. I had nothing in my brain. The cave where pikachu and Serena were probably jailed was right in front of me. And I, was motion less, energy less, . Fever had made me dull. Adding the terrifying rain, the condition wouldn't be worse.

A thunder, enormous one, hit the earth which possibly caused me going blind-black.

While unconscious, I had the worst dream of my life. It had dark blue black background and large sand-clocks in which serena, pikachu, clemont and bonnie were trapped. They were crying for help, yelling my name. as the time wss ruining by sand was falling on top of them, and their half body was already buried in sand. More scare was added with miette's evil laugh and her large head floating around, saying "ash! I tricked you. Hahaha hahaha hahahahaha......"

The last call by serena when they were completely sunken in sand was loud and pleasing which woke me up with a jerk.

"Ash!? Are you alright?" Misty asked. We were in the hollow trunk of a large tree and it was still raining hard outside. It was the early morning and the sun was about to rise.

"Yes, I guess I am fine, just a little headache."

"Did you dream something bad? You screamed like hell. And you were burning all night!" Misty said putting her hand on my forehead. "Now you look better! The fever is gone too!"

"You didn't sleep last night?" I asked. She was up the whole night talking care of me.

"Oh yes I did and that's want friends are ment for." She said humbly. This was the extremely rare side of misty which could be only seen for water type pokemons. Well, at this stage I don't want to see the angery destructive misty at all.

When she said 'friends' I was reminded about serena and others. Even they are my friends and I have to save them at all cost.

I got up, I was feeling weak but managed to get up.

"Are you going again ash!?"

I didn't say a word, just nodded a yes and started walking. Misty came along with me.

We entered the cave alert from every corner possible. I was focused, scared, angry and fucked up at the same time. Misty was there for support which was a big relief.

After walking a long way inside, we encountered a point where we had two path to go. I chose the left one and misty continued on the right side.

Another long walk led me into a large hall and right in front of me was Serena. Her condition was not good at all. Her beautiful hair was all messed up. She was weak. But surprising was that she wasn't in a cage. Instead, she was on a platform and was holding two ropes with each of her hand holding one rope.

I ran upto her yelling her name. My eyes were watering with joy of seeing her again. I stopped at her and lifted her her hanging head up. I wiped her face which glowed up one more as soon as she opened up her eyes. There were tears and a smile on her face.

"A...ash" she somehow uttered.

"Serena! Everything will be fine! And.....And.....And I am sorry!" I said criticising myself, regretting what I did to her.

There was an awkward silence. We stood there peeping in each other's eyes. Her ocean blue eyes were like shade in a hot summer day.
I wiped her face one more but this time it turned red, very red I should say.

"Let these ropes go and come with me."I said.

"Nooo....." It seemed to be clemont's sound.

"What!? You guys were here too but why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked.

"Well, bonnie was enjoying watching you both sticking to each other so she told me to shut up." Clemont replied.

"Yes! You both were so cute! And! We are here on your left side and the pokemons on the right but you were only able to see Serena in danger not us." Bonnie said. What she said was true.

"Pika....pi....." pikachu scremed from the other side.

"What are you wait for guys, let's go. You all are not even in cages." I said.

"You see, we are not inside cage but on this platform. The lever Serena is holding is connected to both our's and pokemon's platform. If she releases any one of the rope, all the pokemons and me and bonnie will fall down in the burning magma. If any of us try to run, Serena's platform will fall into the heat. All three of us can't run at the same time because Serena has the rope plus she has become very weak." Clemont lectured.

It shocked me. I can't let all my friends die here.

"Well, I have a plan!" I said to which everyone's ears turned up.

I tossed up frogadier's pokeball and he appeared. I gossiped my plan to him and now it was time for action.

I went up to Serena and took the levers from her hands. Now it was me at the place of Serena. As soon as she left the ropes, she fell on my arms,, unconscious. I wanted to hug her but what freaking luck do I have.

"Frogdier, move her away from here." And frogadier did what I asked to do.

"Now listen you all, run on three! So one.........two........."

"Pika....pi?"
"Have you gone mad?" Clemont and pikachu shouted. "You will die, idot"

"I know! But we don't have another option. Don't worry, frogadier will use his frubbles to catch me if possible." I said with a smile to which they had no reply.

"Uh? No it's just three meters below your platform. You will get roasted up." Clemont still not willing to do that.

"C'mon Clemont, trust me. We don't have Batman coming to save us!" I said.

"Three! Run!"
