A New Journey - Ash Ketchum {2}

Chapter 5 - The Lost Lapras

The blimp crushed in a forest, waking Emma, the Pikachu, Togepi, Ash and Misty up in a startle. Emma landed on top of Ash, making them blush, while both their Pikachu were on the boy's head, and Misty was sitting next to them.

The cage was opened and they walked out of the blimp. "We made it," Ash muttered. "Where are we?" Emma asked, as she looked around. "It looks like middle of no where," Misty said. "Come on," Emma said and they started walking down a path. "My head hurts," Misty muttered.

The kids were walking for what felt like hours, Misty was getting tired while Ash and Emma looked perfectly fine. "Hey guys, can't we take a little break?" Misty complained and they finally stopped. "Yeah, all right," Ash said and Misty fell on the ground, sighing in relief.

Emma looked around with a frown, "We've been walking for a while and still didn't see anyone," she said. Misty looked up, "Hey, maybe it's a deserted Island?" she asked and Ash and Emma looked at her. "Deserted?" Ash repeated. Misty looked horrified, "What if we won't find the ocean?! We'll have to eat bugs and Berries for the rest of our lives!"

"Calm yourself, will ya?" Emma asked, "We'll find the ocean and get out of here with Gyarados." Misty shook her head in panic, "You don't know that!" she said. "Pikachu-Pi!" the female Pikachu called and they all looked to where she was standing. Emma's Pikachu was standing on a tree, pointing to the side with a smile, "Pika! Pika-chu!"

Emma grinned, "Hey! Pikachu says she sees the ocean!" she said. Misty stood up with a smile, "Really?!" she asked, "What are we waiting for then? Let's go!"

The trio ran to the direction the female Pikachu had pointed and to their relief, they spotted the ocean coming to their view. "Pikachu, you our hero!" Misty said to the female Pikachu.

"Pika-Pika," the female mouse said as she hopped on Emma's shoulder and pointed to the right side. They looked over ins surprise to see houses and shops not far from the beach. Emma looked at a poster, "Hey we at Tangelo Island," she said. "Tangelo Island?" Ash and Misty repeated.

The kids were walking down the waterfront after looking around. "Well, luckily we crushed into a fun Island," Misty said with a smile. "And you were worried," Emma said with a chuckle. "Togy, Togy," the Egg Pokémon said with a smile.

The Pikachu's ears shot up, "Pi?" The kids looked at them in confusion. "What's up Pikachu?" Ash asked. They all looked down at the beach when they heard a whimpering. They saw three older boys around a stranded Lapras.

Lapras is a large sea Pokémon, but this one looked a little younger. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.

One of the boys was sitting on it, and the other two surrounded it while holding a stick. "Come on, move it!" one of them called in annoyance. "Hey!" Emma called angrily when she saw one of the boys raising the stick to hit the Lapras, and the boys looked at her and her friends as they ran closer, "What do you think you doing to that Lapras?!"

"None of your business!" one of them said. "Yeah, so get lost!" the other one said. "It is our business! Leave that Lapras alone!" Ash snapped. "I bet that Lapras didn't do anything to you!" Misty said.

"Who asked you?!" the one who was sitting on its back asked, and he got off, and held a Poké ball, smirking, "This will teach you not to get into someone's else's business."
