Ashchu's Instincts (Part 17)

Ash stood gawking at the fire
"What.." he managed to stutter out, Ashchu ran to the window to look at what was happening and whimpered in fear
"Ash whats going on?" he said, tembeling
"I don't know little bro" Ash said, coming back inside the room
"Hey!" they heard a sleepy voice say "Keep quiet!"
"Gary?" Ashchu asked, turning around and saw two pokemon laying on the far end of the bed, an eevee and a pikachu
"Be quiet guys" Bolt said, half asleep "It's like 2 in the morning"
"But guys!" Ashchu said
"Night..." Gary said, turning around to go back to sleep
"The lab's on fire!" he yelled
"WHAT!?" both Bolt and Gary screamed, sitting up instantly
Ash nodded "Yeah look" he said pointing at the window. Bolt and Gary ran to the window and looked at the blazing fire consuming the lab
"We have to get over there to help!" Bolt said
"Good one Bolt" Gary said sarcastcly "We're not water types, what can we do?" Ash frowned at him
"I don't know about you, Gary!" he said "But I'm going over there to help my pokemon!" Bolt ran to his best friend's side and nodded to him "Ashchu, you stay here" Ash told his brother, who quickly nodded
"Alright, I going with you" Gary said "Come on, we have to go through the window" both pikachu nodded
"Ashchu, get mom to call the fire department!" Ash said before he climed out the window, followed by Bolt
"Okay, I gotta go wake up mom" Ashchu said to himself and ran out the open door towards his mother's room, he pushed the bedroom door open and jumped onto the bed
"Pika pik kachu! (Wake up mom!)" he yelled
"Wha... Ash?" she asked, Ashchu shook his head "Ashchu, what is it?" Delia asked, half asleep
"Pik achu ka chu pi! (There's a fire at the lab! Call the firefighters!)" Ashchu yelled
"I don't understand you" Delia said, Ashchu smacked himself for forgetting that before grabbing his mom's sleeve and pointing at the window
"Pika pi (Come on)" he said, tugging at her sleeve with more strength until she got up and looked out the window to see the fire
"Oh my... Get me the phone, now!"

Ash, Bolt and Gary had just reached the lab and walked to the garden
"Hello!?" Ash yelled "Can anybody hear me?!"
"I hope gramps is alright...." Gary said quietly, before he heard Bolt sniffing around the area
"*Cough cough* I can't smell anything because of the smoke" Bolt choked
"And I can't hear anything with the crackling wood around us" Ash said
"I wonder what started this fire" Gary said, then they reached the entrance to the lab
"Tracy!" Ash yelled when he saw his friend on the floor, the three pokemon crowed around him, Gary put his finger on his neck "What are you doing?"
"Checking his pulse" Gary said Ash looked over Tracy, no burns, no soot but he did have a bruise on his neck "Few!" Gary sighted and smiled
"He's alive, just knocked out"
"Good, but what-.." Ash was cut short by a familiar voice
"Sorry Sam, business is business" the voice said
"Now, where is he?" another voice said, however they were talking to did not answer
"I recomend you answer my commpanion's question" a third voice said quietly "we don't want this getting ugly, do we?" Ash squinted in the direction of the voices and saw three human silouttes standing in front of them he slowly walked in their dirrection, silently signalling Gary and Bolt to follow him, they got close enough to see the people that was standing there and resisted the urge to gasp, it was Brodie, Doug and Lewis, each of them dressing a lot different than the last time they saw them. Brodie was wearing a combination of silver and black armor of what looked like kelvar, with a strange looking visor, Doug looked like he was dressing lighter and was covered in dust with some kind of flashlight on his helmet, Lewis was wearing a trenchcoat, gloves and some kind of spiked boots and had a strange silver rod, like a portable fishing rod
"Some reasercher you are Lewis" Oak said
"My, still gutsy as ever, eh teach?" Lewis chuckeld at his captive's outburst "We don't need to talk anymore thought, he's here" as soon as he finished that sentence, he wipped the rod torwards Oak, it started to expand to a metallinc stick with electricity arcing throught it, and smacked Oak on the neck shocking and knocking him out
"NO!" Gary screaned, seething with anger his eyes turning slightly red
"Well, Ash is mine, kay?" Lewis asked calmly, ignoring the seething eevee
"Fine by me, I'll deal with mister over-reaction over here" Brodie chuckeld
"I'll deal with Bolt then" Doug said
"Stop-talking-won't" Gary muttered, his eyes getting a brighter and brighter shade of red
"Grrr, I don't care what you Cipher wackos want, you ain't getting it!" Ash growled
"A little guttsy Ash. Luck boys" Lewis said, grabbing a pokeball from his pocket "Sneasel!"
"Need me, boss?" the ice type asked when he popped out of the ball, he then saw Ash "Oh. I get it, can I?" Lewis nodded and Sneasel lunged at Ash and kicked him in the opposite dirrection, and then ran after him
"Ow, that hurt a lot" Ash moaned in pain, getting up
"Oh, I'm sorry" Sneasel said sarcastecly
"Shut up!" Ash yelled, sending a thunderbolt straight at Sneasel, how just smirked and dissapeared just before the bolt hit "How in the..!" Ash was cut short due to a Night Slash attack hitting from behind
"I was trained in speed bucko!" Sneasel laughed before his claws glew violet, dissaperared and struck Ash twice in a row right on the chest
"AAUGH!" he screamed falling to the ground in pain, bits of his yellow fur on the ground in front of him "He's too fast.." out of instinct, he shut his eyes and felt his ears wiggled, but he coulnd't hear anything other than burning wood and the grunts of his friends' battles
"Poor poor stupid rat" Sneasel said, putting his bottom paw on Ash's chest, causing a painful reaction from him "We st the place on fire to dissable your senses"
"Brick Break!" Ash yelled in pain, hitting the enemy square in the face and sent him into a nearby tree, Ash got up and looked around and saw Bolt a shadow Larion and to see Gary attacking with Hyper Voice mercylessly at another eevee, Brodie's Ditto, before he heard a scream of anger
"You little!" Sneasel screamed in rage as he ran straight a him with a Metal Claw, too tired to run Ash closed his eyes to prepare for the hit, but it never came. He opened his eyes to see Sneasel unable to pass his tail, witch was glowing silvery white
"Alright, I'm using Iron Tail!" Ash yelled in joy, coutering every hit from Sneasel like a pro and constantly hitting him back until the dark-ice type collapsed on the ground out of exhastion "Haha, better think before you mess with Ash Ketchum, pokemon... um" Ash stuterred, forgeting the rest
"Ash!" Bolt yelled, runnig over
"Bolt! You okay?" Ash asked
"Yeah, his pokemon were tough, but I did it!" Bolt said "And I knocked him out with a good shock"
"Good job!" Ash said happily
"Not...so...fast...punks" Sneasel grunted
"What are you gonna do, huh?" Ash mocked him, but jumped back when Sneasel started glowing "Oh crud..."
"You were saying?" Weavile said when the light dissapeared from him, he started glowing dark purple "Dark Pulse!" he screamed a beam of pure darkness straight at Ash, sending him flying into a flame and running after him
"ASH NO!!" Bolt screamed in horror, running straight to the fire, Weavile jumped out and ran to his trainer with something in one of his claws, not caring about that Bolt waved his tail at the flames until the went out, Ash was nowhere to be found "Ash! Ash!" Bolt yelled "Dude, this ain't funny, come out!" he then steppet on something made of fabric, he looked down to Ash's cap laying on the floor "Nononononono" Bolt cried, picking up the cap and running at full speed to Lewis "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ASH!"
"Calm down, he's right here" Lewis said, smiling and taking a step to the side to reveal Ash behind, with a confused look on his face, but apart from that he was totally calm
"Ash!" Bolt said happily "Your okay!" Bolt took a step closer but Ash moved closer to Lewis's leg "Ash, whats wrong?" Ash ignored him and turned to Lewis
"Do you know this pikachu, master?" Ash asked inosently
"Master?!?!" Bolt yelled, looking at Lewis
"Hehehe" Lewis laughed, pulling out a pokeball with a lightning bolt on it "Yes, I'm his trainer now. Ash"
"Yes master?" Ash asked happily
"Attack him" Lewis said with a grin
"Alright!" Ash said happily, getting down on all fours and started to spark electricity at Bolt
"Ash, please don't listen to him!" Bolt said
"Sorry, but if my master says it, I gotta do it" Ash said cheerfully "Thunderbolt!"
