THE KILLER SECRET....
THE KILLER SECRET....
Jolt could barely believe his eyes as his sister weakly walked in and stared at Jolt."Your alive...."Jolt said in a stunned expression staring at Ashley from where he lay on his bed as she smiled back at him standing on her hind paws while perking her right ear up and gave a cheesy grin.
"If that little bitch of a rat thought she did me in...she needs to think again!" Ashley said as her cheesy grin faded as she passed out only to be caught by Jolt mid-fall. Jolt then looked up at nurse Joy and while holding her in his arms."Does she know?" Jolt asked in a solemn tone.
Nurse Joy shook her head."No, I was going to tell shortly after telling you but I can wait till she wakes- " No! She is not to know....not just yet...." Jolt said cutting Nurse joy off mid-sentence. "I'll tell when I feel she needs to know...i want the time I have left with her to be happy..." Jolt said looking down at his unconscious sister.
Nurse Joy nodded silently"If that is what you wish then I will respect that...but don't wait till it's too late to tell her...she needs to know soon." Nurse joy said in a soft tone.
Jolt cautiously lifted up his sister and lay her on the bed where he once laid."Where are we anyways?" Jolt turned to ask Nurse Joy but she seemed to be frozen in place."What the.....hell?" Jolt said looking around him realizing everything around him seemed to be frozen in place. Just then a figured appeared in front of him causing Jolt to take a few steps back."Who are you?! Are you an ally to Chris?!" Jolt asked in a demanding tone.
The figure raised his right hand which seemed to consist of only three short fingers."Calm yourself...I mean you no harm. My Name is Mewtwo....i was a friend of your father's." Mewtwo said as his body fully appeared.
Jolt blinked several times in disbelief."Mew.....two? What is all this? What did you do?" Jolt said seemingly pummeling Mewtwo with questions.
"I have frozen time in an effort to speak to you in private. There is something I must ask of you." Mewtwo said in a sincere tone.
"You could have just waited till I left the Pokemon center ya know...." Jolt said in a bitter tone."No need to freeze the space time continuum just to talk to me..." Jolt said giving an annoyed look which made Mewtwo laugh.
"I only do this when I need to speak to someone with a message of urgent importance. Plus it's fun to show off." Mewtwo said with a grin.
"What is it with legends being such show offs......"Jolt thought in an annoyed tone.
Mewtwo cleared his throat."Back to business. The Pikachu named Jessica....i need you to find her for me...i don't know what happened but something she is doing is blocking my psychic powers from tracking her. I believe she may have teamed up with Chris but for what reason I am not sure."
"I must find Chris first!" Jolt said in a angry tone."I only have a few month's left and I won't spend it chasing after some minion of his!" Jolt said giving a determined glare at Mewtwo."I wish I had never met her in the first place! She tricked me..and because of her I won't be able to be with the one I love...but..Chris is the source of this." Jolt said looking back at Ashley then back to Mewtwo as he spoke.
"Find Jessica and your sure to find Chris." Mewtwo said in a confirming tone to which Jolt nodded.
"Fine....but no more screaming in my head...." Jolt said rubbing his forehead.
"I have not contacted you at all till now...if I did contact you..it would have to have been from a different time period....but how is that possible.....unless..." Mewtwo said as he put his hand on his chin and began to rub it in deep thought.
"What's going on? What do you mean you haven't contacted me? It has been your voice booming in my head helping me in tight spots!" Jolt said bewildered by Mewtwo's reply.
Mewtwo looked up into the sky with a determined expression on his face as he spoke."Something about this entire thing seems out of place...as if...this shouldn't have happened...but no matter...once you find her please let me know strait away but calling my name in your thoughts." Mewtwo said and faded away in the blink of an eye as everything seemed to become unfrozen at once.
"You are in the Goldenrod city Pokemon center." Nurse joy said and gave Jolt a confused look as he looked around hysterically for a moment before looking back at her." Are you ok?" Nurse Joy asked curiously.
"I'm fine...just a little light headed is all...."Jolt said looking back at Ashely.
Ashley woke up a few hours later to Jolt's arm around her sleeping soundly. Ashley gave a smile and gave Jolt a kiss on his nose causing him to wiggle it a little bit before opening his eyes."Well hello there beautiful." Jolt said with a smile.
"How long was I out?" Ashley asked getting on all fours and stretched her hind legs one at a time.
"Not sure..i dosed off myself after a bit." Jolt said stretching his arms and legs as well.
"well we should get to finding Chris soon...the faster we take care of him...the better!" Ashley said with a determined tone in her voice.
"Actually we need to find that Pikachu who looks like our mother..she's the key to finding Chris I think." Jolt said hoping Ashley would go along with it.
"Hmm....you might be onto something there dear....but I don't know..what if she's a dead end?" Ashley said jumping on the bed and stumbling slightly.
"Careful honey...we both still haven't fully recovered..i think we should take a short break and enjoy the time we have together...after all..we haven't seen each other in a long time." Jolt said with a smile getting off the bed and walked over and kissed her passionately.
"It's only been a week." Ashley said with a giggle.
"Ya..but being away from you it seems like an eternity." Jolt said in a romantic tone giving Ashley another kiss.
"An eternity without me....now that would be lonely wouldn't it?" Ashley said with as she wrapped her paws around his head giving him short kisses between sentences.
"Ya....it would...."Jolt said as painful reality set in with him. He would have to tell her sooner or later...yet he was afraid to..he didn't want to worry her yet at the same time he knew that some time soon she would be all alone in this world without him to protect her. These depressing thoughts caused Jolt to stop kissing Ashley and hold her tightly as a silent tear streaked down his right cheek onto Ashley's shoulder.
"Is something wrong?" Ashley said pulling Jolt away just enough so they were face to face.
"No...it's nothing..." Jolt said knowing that he just lied strait to his sister's face.
Jolt then stood up and walked to the door of the Pokemon center room."It's a nice day outside...lets go enjoy it." Jolt said and walked out with Ashley following him eying him suspiciously.
Once outside Jolt and Ashley walked out of the front door of the Pokemon center and immediately felt a rush of fresh air brush against their fur.
"It's really is nice out here." Ashley said looking up at the sky to see two Pigey flying overhead.
"Where would even begin looking for Jessica?" Ashley asked curiously looking around.
"If I know her she will come back after us when she finds out we're still alive...in the meantime..let's enjoy ourselves." Jolt said with a smile.
Jolt's lack of determination to find Jessica struck Ashley as odd as he was bound and determined to find Chris before."Jolt..what is going on? You've been obsessed with Finding Chris up till now..what are you hiding from me?" Ashley Asked in a worried tone.
But Jolt wasn't paying attention to her...he was staring in the direction of a Warturtle who had been staring at them for the last ten minuets since they walked out the door.
"Jolt?" Ashley asked curiously as Jolt began to walk slowly in the direction of the Warturtle.
The Warturtle noticed Jolt walking towards him and broke in a sudden dash causing Jolt to do the same.
"Hey,you! Come back here!" Jolt yelled at the Warturtle but ti wasn't looking as it kept on running.
"Warturtle aren't this fast..i should have caught up with him over five seconds ago!" Jolt thought as he increased his speed using agility but as he did so the Warturtle seemed to pick up speed as well.
"He must be genetically altered like me! Time to break in some real speed!" Jolt said aloud and sped up to the point where he seemingly disappeared from sight in a blur and suddenly appeared in front of the Warturtle in another blur causing it to give a look of shock on it's face as it skid to a halt less than three feet from Jolt,jumped in the air and shot an Icebeam at Jolt which caught him by surprise encasing him in a block of ice.
"Jolt,no!" Ashley screamed horrified causing the Warturtle to look at her but her horror was soon turned to relief as the ice surrounding Jolt began to crack around him till it shattered in a burst of electricity.
The Warturtle looked back shocked"Impossib-ack!" The Warturtle began to say but was cut off by Jolt grabbing it by the neck in an instant.
"Do you have any idea how many times I have heard that come out of my enemies mouths just before I pummel the shit out of them?" Jolt said in an annoyed tone arching his fist back and hitting the Warturtle square in the nose with a thunderpunch sending it skidding back into a car leaving a nice dent in it.
Just then a man dressed in punk rock clothing ran up to the car next to the dazed Warturtle."My car! Dude, battle somewhere else! You are messing up my rad cool car man!" The man said in a rocker's tone.
The Warturtle looked up at the man and glared at him. He then turned around and Shot an Icebeam at the car freezing it into an ice cube then punched it with his fist literally shattering the car into bits causing the man's face to go a dark shade of blue with small streaks flowing down from his forehead as he looked at his shattered car in disbelief before falling comically backwards passing out.
Jolt looked at the shattered car then back to the Warturtle"something tells me the next Icebeam he shoots at me I should dodge...."Just thought in a awkward tone.
Ashley stood there watching as the Warturtle and Jolt traded blows"Ok..i need to tap into my power...i just need to remember that feeling of rage I felt before...." Ashley said forcing herself to remember the painful event of watching her mother being killed before her eyes. Soon enough she felt the same rage she felt before."GOT IT!" Ashley said aloud and dashed at the Warturtle with breakneck speed as her tail began to glow.
"Irontail Blade!!!!" Ashley cried out as she slashed down at the Warturtle who looked up just in time and back flipped out of the way leaving an ice sculpture version of itself in it's place.
Ashley's Irontail Blade attack cut through the ice sculpture version like a hot knife through butter causing it to fall apart at the middle each half falling to the side.
Jolt looked at the ice sculpture version then back to Ashley in amazement."Um..honey..we need to ask him questions first....and I don't think he's a Gengar...so killing him is out of the question..." Jolt said with a sweatdrop.
"So it's true....you really are Jolt...i heard you were dead..." The Warturtle said looking at them both with a smile."Forgive my actions..i thought you might have been a Gengar impostor." The Warturtle said with a quick bow.
"Who are you?" Jolt asked not letting his guard down.
"My name is Silver Shell but you can call me Kendory. I am the last of my clan....the Icebane clan." Kendory said with a bow.
"The Icebane Clan?" Jolt said with a confused expression on his face but Ashley seemed to know what he was talking about.
"I heard about this clan from grandma...she said it was a elite clan of Squritle and Warturtle who were trained in the arts of ancient fighting styles and Pokemon attack techniques. I thought that clan was wiped out shortly before the invention of the pokeball?" Ashley said in a curious tone leaving Jolt still confused beyond all reason.
"I see your grandmother is well versed in Pokemon lore...Pokemon lore is the only way we keep the hidden history of Pokemon alive..without it...we'd have no knowledge of our true heritage. As to our clan being wiped out...we almost were but a few of us survived and trained our descendants but in the past one hundred years our clan is all but gone..." Kendory said with a sigh.
"How did you manage to keep out running me till I broke up my true speed? Usually I can catch up to most at half speed."Jolt asked still not convinced that he wasn't genetically altered like him.
"It's called: The art of glacial speed. By quickly focusing and icy aura at the heels of my feet I can maintain a great deal of speed by skating on them. It's similar to the aura poke use to use an Icepunch attack that Pokemon use now at days." Kendory said calmly.
"Ok..next question:How did you manage to freeze that guys car to the point that it could be shattered like that?" Jolt asked still not convinced.
"I was trained in the most harsh of conditions by the great ice Pokemon Articuno herself to use an Icebeam attack to that great strength you saw there. And the journey wasn't an easy one. And to answer your last question I'm sure you are going to ask next. I used an Ice clone technique. By using a similar method as to how I use my Art of glacial speed I focused the icy aura all over my body till it forms a sold coat then I use teleport to escape it. Because I am not a psychic Pokemon I can only use the attack to teleport for mere seconds. Few Pokemon even in my clan have tried to master that technique due to the fact if done wrong proves to be fatal....so...Have I proven myself to you yet?" Kendory asked giving a sincere look.
Jolt still wasn't convinced but Ashley seemed to look on with awe and admiration."Can you train me? Please?!" Ashley asked desperately which caught both Jolt and Kendory off guard.
"Sis...have you lost it? I mean even if this guy is genuine in what he says..there's no way you can use half the stuff he does...your not a water type!" Jolt said with a skeptical look.
"As unfaithful to my skill as he put it...Jolt does have a point...most of the Icebane clan arts are water type based." Kendory said agreeing with Jolt.
"I can still mimic them using my electric type abilities! And plus I have heard of electric types learning ice type moves!" Ashley said still not convinced that what she was asking was impossible.
Jolt simply facepawed to this statement while Kendory gave a thoughtful glance at her.
"Will you see the training through to the end no matter what? The Icebane clan training is harsh and merciless...once you begin...you CAN NOT stop till it's finished no matter what or all that you had learned up to that point will have been useless." Kendory said in a official tone much to Jolt's disbelief.
Ashley stood on her hind paws and attempted to but stumbled...in the end she bowed on all fours"When do I begin.....Sensei?" Ashely said in a sencere tone.
"We begin tomorrow. Meet me at the forest edge...your brother may come and observe but he CAN NOT interfere." Kendory said as he walked away.
"Are you sure about this sis? I mean if this guy is dead serious..this won't be easy..and plus it could be a trap." Jolt said placing a paw on Ashley's shoulder.
"Yes I am sure....I won't be able to tap into my power and I think this training may be the way to do it..." Ashley said with a confirming tone.
Later on that night Ashley and Jolt decided to sleep in the Pokemon center....
Jolt suddenly awoke from his sleep clutching his chest which seemed to be in agony but he didn't make one sound for fear of scaring Ashley."Damn it! That poison is only to get worse till it kills me...i can't let her know though...not yet....but how long can I hide this secret?" Jolt thought to himself as he looked at Ashley sleeping soundly next to him.
I suppose if this guy if he is the real deal can protect her when I'm gone..but we need to start searching for Jessica soon....I'll watch this guy tomorrow and make sure he's the real deal..if so I'll search for Jessica on my own I guess..."Jolt thought to himself and laid down and slipped into an uneasy sleep.Chapter End Notes:Hope you enjoyed this chapter..next chapter is when things get interesting...
Jolt could barely believe his eyes as his sister weakly walked in and stared at Jolt."Your alive...."Jolt said in a stunned expression staring at Ashley from where he lay on his bed as she smiled back at him standing on her hind paws while perking her right ear up and gave a cheesy grin.
