Electrical - Ash Ketchum {1}

Chapter 28 - The Tower of Terror

As me and my friends were heading off to Lavender Town for Ash to catch a Ghost Pokémon so he could defeat Sabrina, I was at the back with Misty, talking quietly with her.

"So, how's everyone back home?" She asked. "They okay," I answered, "Apparently, there's a video of me when I was talking to the giant Tentacruel in Porta Vista."

"Oh, no, they must have been really worried," Misty said. "Yeah," I said, "But, that's okay. As long as I'll stay out of trouble." Misty smirked, "We're with Ash, so that's gonna be tough," She said and we both chuckled on that. "True," I joked and we continued to chuckle.

"Hey, what's so funny?" Ash asked. Misty and I looked over to see Ash and Brock looking at us in confusion. "Oh, nothing," I said and Misty chuckled. "It's a girls' thing, carry on," She said. Ash and Brock exchanged a confused look before they continued to lead the way. Misty and I exchanged a smirk and a chuckle before quickly following them.

The sun was setting, and we were still on the way to Lavender Town. My Pikachu was on top of my head while Ash had his Pikachu on his shoulder.

"How far is this town? We've been walking for a while," Misty pointed out. "We should be there soon, it's not far from here, now," I answered as fog started to appear, as we were walking.

"The fog is coming in," Ash said. "Maybe we should forget about catching a Ghost Pokémon," Misty said. I smirked, "Are you scared of Ghost Pokémon, too?"

"Nope, just Bugs," She answered and I smiled as I rolled my eyes. "We've came too far," Brock told our redhead friend, "Everybody, let's hold hands so we won't get separated in the fog."

"Good idea," Ash said before holding out his hand for me. I grabbed it as I grabbed Misty's hand too. "Hold on," Brock said before accidentally grabbed Ash's Pikachu's tail, which caused the male mouse to electrocute him as Misty yelled in fear.

Brock fall to the ground in pain as Pikachu landed on his stomach, giving Brock an apology look, "Pika, Pika." Misty and I looked at Brock. "You okay, buddy?" I asked. "Brock, you shouldn't do that, you scared me," Misty said.

"Well, Misty, you sure scared me," Ash said and we looked at him in confusion at his voice as he laughed creepily. Misty and I backed away to stand next to Brock as he stood up. "Say what?" Misty asked in fear.

"Ash?" I asked. "I feel like a Ghost myself," Ash said before he turned around creepily. Brock, Misty, me and both mine and Ash's Pikachu screamed in fear. Ash's face was carved like a skull, and he was making the most terrifying expression.

He suddenly laughed and pulled off the mask. "Sorry, guys," He said, "I was just testing you. If we're going to try to catch a Ghost Pokémon, we got to learn to deal with fear. That's the only way we can become a great Pokémon trainers."

I grabbed him by the collar, "Are you insane?!" Misty and Brock stood at both my sides as they glared at Ash. "You must be crazy!" Misty shouted. "Don't ever do that!" Brock shouted. "Pika!" mine and Ash's Pikachu shouted. Ash looked at us all nervously, "I'll, uh, I'll just save the mask to Halloween."

"Or never!" I said and let go of his collar before grabbing the mask from his hand. My Pikachu suddenly tapped on top of my head and I looked at her, "What is it?" She pointed forward, "Pika!" We all followed her gaze and saw not far from us a town. I smiled, "Hey, that's must be Lavender Town!" Ash grinned, "All right!"

...................

After we all got past the town to a tower, it was night by then. "This is the Pokémon tower, where Ghost Pokémon hung out," Brock said. "I, uh, like what they did with the place," Ash muttered. "Okay, Ash, it's time for you to show us what a great trainer you are," Misty said, "Show us that you're not scared."
