Hell's Nightmare

Chapter 2 Hell’s nightmare

(Early that mourning: 3:30 a.m.)

 Ash's mom, Delia, walks up to the front door. She searches for her keys, within her purse.


 "I hope Ash didn't have a party behind my back! I warned him before I left, and I swear if he did, I'm going to kill him!" She unlocked the door, and went in...

She takes off her coat, not noticing the great amounts of blood on the floor, which is kind of obvious. Suddenly, some victim's cell phone rings, playing the ring tone, The Man Comes Around:

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him."

Nothing but darkness crept over Delia that day.


Her screams could be heard from miles away.

 (About 4 hours later 7:30-ish A.M)

 Even though the police had arrived at the scene a mere 1.23 minutes after the call, they were completely unprepared for the hellish sight within. Even after being at the scene of the murder/massacre for almost 4 hours, the police were still bringing out body bags of loose limbs, and completely mutilated corpses. Outside the Ketchum House, was an armada of law enforcement vehicles consisting of police cars, motorbikes, SUVs and even a helicopter. The entire surrounding area up to 30 feet from the house was enclosed by yellow police tape. The nearby road had been closed to the public. “We have breaking news from Pallet Town; the police have confirmed that a mass murder took place in the early hours in a house on the outskirts of pallet town. We now go live to the press conference.”

(At the Police Precinct in Pallet town)

 Officer Jenny was giving a press statement:“As most of you are now aware that approximately 4 hours ago, we were called to a house on the outskirts of Pallet town, by a call about a murder. When the law enforcement officers arrived on scene we found more then just a murder. So I am now informing the public that we now have NOT MIGHT have a serial killer on the loose. The killer is believed to be mentally insane, and most likely a Sadist. The killer seems to favor blades and other edged weapons. The killer seems to enjoy killing and torturing not only humans but also their pokemon. Although we still haven’t been unable to determine the number of victims within the house, the rough estimate is over 60 victims. The victims identified as of now are Ash Ketchum, Dawn, May, Brock, and Richie.  So please if you have any information that may help lead to the capture and arrest of this sick deranged manic please call the hotline listed below. (1-800-4552) Also be advised the killer is likely armed and extremely dangerous.

 (Meanwhile in the town of Altomore)

 Bianca was watching the Pokemon Hour Morning Show when the station cut over to the press conference.“Aww, I want my cartoons! Stupid old news bulletin” Bianca grumbles under her breath Bianca’s grandfather, Lorenzo puts down his paper and fixes his eyes on the television “I mean come on! They never show a news bulletin when the Poke Olympics are on…” She keeps ranting “Hush!! They just said something about a murder massacre in pallet town in kanto, isn’t that Ash’s hometown!? Bianca shuts up long enough to hear the list of identified victims including Ash and company. She then stares at the TV with eyes glazed “No this can’t be. Why…WHY!!” she yells outLorenzo puts his arm around his granddaughter, tears already running down his face into his beard. “Bianca. Just let it all out.” he whispered to her as she cried into his chest“ Wwwe can’t tell Latias, it’d break her heart. She had all ready lost her family, anymore sorrow will kill her.” Bianca said fighting back tears.Her grandfather closed his eyes and remembered what happened almost 6 years ago, when she lost her brother to the same fate as her father. A noble cause that left her as an orphan alone in the world.. Meanwhile in a hidden garden within the city of water, a Latias was still asleep on a tree branch of a mighty oak, dreaming of her first love, Ash Ketchum.

 (Within Latias’s dream)

 It was a memory of when Ash last came to see her, only 4 months ago. He came on April 23, the anniversary of when then first met. After she met Ash the first time all those years ago, she worked hard to learn English, to tell him what she felt. When he came, she was there on the dock waiting for him, to welcome him back, because she loved him so much she didn’t cloak herself, nor did she disguise herself as Bianca. When she saw his face, she flew forward with a flying tackle to hug him, before flying away with Ash happily chasing right behind her. Latias recalled with a laugh, he was much too big to ride on her anymore, so they spent the day running through the city together. They ended the day up in the Altomore Clock Tower, watching the sunset , while snacking on vanilla ice-cream cones.After Ash finished his cone, he turned to her and chuckled. She turned to him with her mouth stuffed with a cone. She quickly swallowed it and asked him what was so funny.He moved closer to her and licked her cheek, getting a smear of ice cream she missed.She recalled how happy she felt being this close to him, with this warm burning feeling deep inside her chest, she’d asked years ago what that feeling was, and Bianca answered with a grin “it’s love silly”. Suddenly the dream changed into a world of nothing but darkness. She was all alone. “Ash?” Latias said confused “Latias?” A voice says behind herShe  turns only to see  her love, Ash, standing in the shadows, his face and body veiled by the shadows  “Latias, please forgive me.. I’m afraid that I  won’t to be able to see you ever again. I won’t be able to keep the promise I gave you.” Ash said as he averts his gaze This hurt Latias deeply “You hate me don’t you!” Latias said confused and upset Ash turns his head and  looks at her straight in the eye.. “I love you Latias and I’m so happy to have met you, but it’s time for me to go.” He turns to walk away, only to stop when Latias calls his name “Please Ash, this can’t be real, this has to be a bad dream!” She yells out “Latias this may be a dream, but I’m really here”, Ash says sadly He then turns back and the darkness seems to clear revealing a large bloodstain in the front of his shirt and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. His eyes show immense pain and sorrow. “Ash!” Latias cried trying to jump forward to grab him and to heal him with her psychic powers, only to find she could neither move nor heal him.  “I’m sorry, but it’s too late for me and the others.” he says before turning to look at something above them only he can see. “No please I can help you!” she whimpers amongst tears flowing down her face. Voices are heard echoing through the darkness faintly from all around. “Ash?”“Ash? It’s time to go.”“Ash where are you?”“Ashy boy where are you!?“pika pika!” He returns his gaze to Latias and says sadly “I must go, my time on this world is now over. Please don’t cry Latias. Although I am leaving I will always remain  in your heart always.” He walks closer and gives her a kiss, and holding back tears, he then walks toward a faint light far away. After 5 steps he then disappears along with the light. “Ash..” she whispers tears falling down her face. She had always wanted Ash to kiss her, but not he was leaving her! She hears a noise, like metal hitting metal. She turns to see a  man cloaked in black, with a hood that covered his head completely, walking toward her with a large sword drenched in blood. Although she didn’t know how , she knows he was the one who killed Ash. Blind with grief and hatred she charges forward with a mist ball in her claws. The man stops and stabs in sword into the ground, then calmly waits for her attack. Latias flies forward releasing the mistball, while releasing a Psywave. Both at which hit the man without fail. She then turns invisible and circles behind him, then to attack with a Zen head butt. The man suddenly side steps to the left, then grabbing her by the throat as she passes, choking her. Latias becomes visible, her claws trying to wretch the hand from around her throat. He holds her up by her throat then tosses her away from him.  She hits the floor hard, gasping for air. The man then pulls his sword from the ground and walks toward her, his boots clanking. She notices him coming toward her with sword in hand. She struggles to get up only to fail. She closes her eyes begging it to be quick, hearing the boots clank louder and louder then right next to her. She waits for the heavy boot to crush her skull; she waits for the cold blade to pierce her body. Nothing. She opens her eyes to see the man walk past her crumpled form. After 4 steps past her body, he stops and speaks:“I only spared you, because I grew tired of playing with you. Remember my name! My name is “The Annihilator”  He then turns toward her and with his free hand pulls down his hood, revealing his face.  “No that can’t be… No that’s not possible!! NO!!!!” She screams out, for she had seen this face before!! He was there when Altomore was nearly engulfed by the sea, if it wasn’t for her father’s sacrifice. But that wasn’t possible that happened 500 years ago! He then walks toward her, sword raised. Latias then screams as the blade pierces her body.

 (Secret Garden of Altomore)

 Latias  falls  from the branch, she was sleeping on, hitting the soft grass below the tree, not that it matters, for she was dead before she hit the ground, her life extinguished by a sword thrust through her heart. About 40 feet away, at the fountain in the middle of the garden, where the Soul Dew is kept, the fountain stops flowing, and the Soul Dew goes dim and then shatters into glass shards. A continent away, a girl sits up in bed after being awakened by the screams of the Soul Dew and its protector.
