The Lost Aura Prince
Nightmare!
Ca.2 – In the Middle Ages

The black-haired boy slept peacefully tucked into Misty's bed. Misty had protested that a strange boy would sleep right in her bed. Her three sisters had a room that even the spoiled prince would be happy with it, but Misty's room was so small it had hardly anything more than her hard bed. But Misty's mother had said that he would be in Misty's room.

The yellow mouse with a tail that resembled a lightning bolt lay beside the sleeping boy. It had refused to leave the boy named "Ash" for a single minute. The yellow mouse watched with concern when Ash began to turn around and mumble in his sleep.

In Ash's dream

Ash sat in his room and read in the Bible. He really hated to read. Well, he had no problem with reading, he just hated to read the same book again and again. If it had not been for the young prince's faithful best friend he would have died of boredom.

Ash flipped through the book, uninterested, when he heard a light knock on the steel door.

"My young prince, I've been sent here to inform you that the king and queen are looking for you," a male voice said from the other side of the door. Ash slammed the holy book shut and sighed. He knew when his mother and father inquired after him, it meant they would ask him if he has read the Bible, or it's bad news.

When the guard heard no response, he knocked a bit harder at the door. "Your Highness?"

"I'm coming... I'm coming... I'll just change," Ash replied as nicely as possible. He could hear when the guard walked away.

The young prince jumped out of the bed and put on one of his favorite tunics. Then he put on his golden crown and went up to the sleeping yellow mouse.

The sleeping magical creature lay on a red and white pillow, in the shape of a circle. (A pokéball.) He smiled and patted the sleeping mouse, who woke up and smiled.

"Pika Pikapi.. (Good morning Ash..)" Yawned the electric mouse. The young prince smiled.

"Good morning Pikachu." Pikachu stretched and scratched his eyes.

"The king and queen want to meet with me." Pikachu looked at Ash entirely uninterested and closed his eyes again to go back to sleep. Ash looked at his yellow friend who tried to go back to sleep.

"Please..."

"…"

"I do not want to go alone .." Pikachu opened one eye.

"You can get a bottle of ketchup," Ash said in a singsong voice. Immediately after the word "ketchup" left his mouth, Pikachu started jumping around like a happy Spoink.

"PIKACHU PIKA PI?! (What are we waiting for?!)" cried Pikachu. When he started to pull Ash's arms, Ash laughed.

Ash walked into the corridor with his excited friend on his shoulder. On the wall, there were lots of plaques with the former royal families. When Ash looked at his family photo he felt that for some mysterious reason, it didn't feel right. He felt that he didn't belong to this family.

Ash walked up to the guards guarding the king and queen. Because the guard recognized the young prince, he was allowed in.

Ash walked into the room and saw his parents sitting on their thrones. He gulped and went up to the king and queen.

The king frowned when he saw the dangerous creature on the sole heir. He had said at least hundred times that guards will keep the rat from the young prince. The king stood up and gave gestured for all the guards to leave the room, as he would be talking about the kingdom's fate. At once, all the guards left the room, leaving the young prince alone with the king and queen. Pikachu obviously still sat on Ash's shoulder.
