CHRIS’S REVENGE
#9 of JOLT AND ASHLEY’S FORBIDDEN LOVE STORY
Ashley ran as fast as he possibly could down the street a crossed town causing many by standers to look on suspiciously as the brown furred Pikachu dashed down the sidewalk and made a turn past the pokemart."Please be ok...." Ashley said under her breath as she neared the comer of the block they lived on.
Ashley ran to their house and stopped in front of it. "Doesn't look they got here yet...good." Ashley said breathlessly as she walked up to the door and opened it.
As the door opened and swung to the side the sight that beheld her caused her to look on in shock and horror as only audible sounds could be heard emitting from her mouth.
"No....no......please god......" Ashley thought to herself as tears of anguish and pain began to stream down her cheeks.
"NOOOOOO!" Ashley shrieked finally as she ran over to Josh and held him sobbing who had been laying on the living room floor in a puddle of blood with what looked to be a large claw in his back starring blankly in horror with one paw extended out towards the door.
"Please god, noooooo!" Ashley shrieked again holding Josh tightly in her arms not caring at all that his blood as now staining her brown fur.
After a few moments Ashley turned her head to look into the living room to see Alexia who had been impaled through the chest by what looked to be another large claw hanging from the living room wall with her head laying limp as her blood dripped from her hind paws onto the floor.
"Alexia! Oh god! Koda, Camellia, Mom, Dad....SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME!" Ashley shrieked laying Josh's head down and ran past Alexia up the stairs only to see what looked like a Pikachu's ear with a bow tied around it laying on the steps.
"Camellia....." Ashley said questly then immediately dashed up the stairs the rest of the way to see Camellia laying in the upstairs hallway earless sprawled on her back and what looked to be a streak of blood from where she was dragged which was the Boy's room.
Ashley stood on her hind paws and opened up the door to the boy's room to see Koda laying on the floor his head looking as if it had been turned in a 360 degree angle with a look of shock on his face.
Ashley then slammed the door shut and leaned her back against it sobbing silently with tears flooding down her cheeks as she slowly slid down it till her rump was on the floor.
Ashley then heard a cluttering sound from Ash and Julian's room and as if by impulse ran as fast as she could, ran though the broken door to see her father laying on the ground impaled though the chest on the bed and looked over to see her Mother being gagged by what looked like a Jolt version of a Gengar hold her up by her throat.
Julian then looked over to see Ashley standing on all fours staring in horror." Run....Ashley...." Julain said and gagged again." Get out of here while you can...." Julian said again and gagged once more." They are too strong..." Julian said and gagged again.
"You talk to much you little rat....time to die!" The Gengar said and then extended it's right paw to what looked exactly like the claw that she saw in her brother and sister.
"Mom, noooooo!!!" Ashley shrieked as she ran forward but Julian raised a paw and shook her head. "Mom's....still alive......protect her.....please my daughter...." Julian said just before the Gengar jabbed her through the chest causing her to cough up blood as her eyes widened in shock and horror. Julian then looked up at the Gengar and smiled." you have no idea what you've just done...." Julian said and then turned to Ashley who looked on as if she was frozen in place." Ashley...sweetie....don't let it consume you...use it...." Julian said and closed her eyes with what looked like a peaceful smile on her face and went limp in the Gengar's paw.
Ashley stared on ion what looked like a trance-like state just staring even when the Gengar threw her mother to the wall she continued staring. "They are all gone.....me and Jolt are the only ones left.....that thing killed them....they are gone forever......I‘ll never see them again....I‘ll never see Josh‘s smiling face....never hear or feel Alexia comfort me ever again....." Ashley thought to herself as the Gengar walked up to her.
In Ashley's mind she could see all there smiling facing in front of her and then shattering like a glass almost a moment later. "Everything I ever held dear...everyone I ever loved.....taken from me!" Ashley thought as she felt herself begin to be filled with an unspeakable rage as the Gengar was now standing in front of her extending a claw of it it's paw smiling evilly at her.
"I've always been so helpless....never could do anything to save anyone....." Ashley thought to herself as the Gengar arches it's arm back ready to impale her in the next moment.
"well....NOT ANYMORE!" Ashley said aloud standing on her hind paws and stopped the Gengar's Arm mere inches from her face much top it's surprise.
"H-how? No one can match my strength!" The Gengar said in a shocked tone but Ashley was not listening the only thing that could be seen was her eyes which were filled with a deep rage.
Ashley then snapped the Gengar's arm breaking it with a single twist of her paw causing the Gengar to cry out in agony and drop it's claw and then threw the Gengar to the wall.
"T-t-this can't be possible!" The Gengar said fearfully holding it's arm still as Ashley picked up the claw the Gengar dropped and walked over to it.
"you can't beat-" But the Gengar was cut off by Ashley lifting it by the throat.
"Ironic isn't it...that you die the same way you killed my mother!" Ashley yelled and rammed the Claw through the Gengar's chest so hard that the wall behind it could be seen cracking. But Ashley wasn't finished she dropped the Gengar who was coughing and gasping for breath as it gagged on it's own blood and walked over to her mother and took the claw out of her walked back over to the Gengar and lifted it up again and jabbed a second claw into it's chest causing the Gengar to cry out in pain.
"Still not dead yet....good! Because I'm not done with you!" Ashley said dragging the Gengar by it's ears down the hall and stopped in front of her sister." This is for Camellia!" Ashley yelled as she literally ripped the Gengar's ears off it's head causing it to shriek in pain. Ashley then knocked the Gengar down the stairs and followed it slowly on all fours she then saw Alexia still impaled on the wall and took her down with the up most care and took the claw out of her as delicately as possible and then walked over to the Gengar once agin picking it up by the throat and slammed it against the wall.
"This is for Alexia!" Ashley shrieked and jabbed yet another claw through the Gengar's chest "nailing" it to the wall. The Gengar by now was looking barely conscious gasping in agony with each breath it took as tears of fear and pain dripped down it's cheeks. Ashley then walked over to her brother and took the claw out of him as carefully as possible, walked over to the Gengar, and yanked him off leaving the claw still in the wall as she dragged him over to where Josh laid at and though it down next to him.
"This is for Josh!" Ashley yelled and threw the claw down impaling the Gengar though the back causing it to give another shriek of agony. Ashley then got on it's back and lifted it's head up choking the Gengar.
"I...was...only...following...orders..."The Gengar managed to say between gags as blood seemed to be pouring from every part of it now.
"And this......" Ashley said straining against the Gengar's neck as it attempted to stop her from doing what it knew she was planning to do." Is for Koda......BURN IN HELL!!!!" Ashley yelled as she twisted the Gengar's neck snapping it.
Ashley dropped the Gengar's neck and slowly walked over to the couch which had miraculously been left unscathed, sat on it, And crossed her paws putting her head in between them as she sobbed loudly...
MEANWHILE IN THE POKEMON CENTER.....
"Your family is probably already dead....and will your sister be as well no sooner she arrives." Huntress said maliciously as she traded blows with Jolt.
"No...I refuse to believe that! My family is strong! They could never be killed by the likes of you!" Jolt said just before he jumped into the air and launched a thunder attack which the Huntress deflected to the side causing the bolt to hit a piece of the Pokemon center equipment which exploded almost instantly upon impact.
Huntress simply snickered at this. "Such a naive little Chu..."Huntress said as she extended a claw out of her right hand and chucked it at jolt which caught Jolt by surprise and dodged barely looking behind him to see it impaled in the wall and then look at his shoulder which was now bleeding now as his own blood began to stain his yellow fur.
Jolt immediately held his shoulder in pain and looked on at Huntress who was already drawing another." How did she cut me like that? I've hit razor sharp lab objects before when I fought with my mother in Chris's lab and they didn't even scratch me..." Jolt thought shocked.
"It hurts doesn't it...you've never been wounded like that before have you?" Huntress said with an evil grin." Chris designed us to be able to regenerate any bone in our body and designed our bone to be able to be able to physically harm you and your mother with our it which we can extend from our palms." Huntress said and chucked another claw at him which he jumped out of the way of." So like I said....your family is DEAD!" huntress said throwing multiple claws at jolt which jolt barely dodged with each strike at him.
"I've got to get rid of this bitch and then get to Ashley and the rest of our family!" Jolt thought to himself in a panicked tone as he dashed forward only to be gripped by the throat by huntress a split second before he struck and lifted into the air.
"You're going to die Jolt...Chris no longer needs a inferior design such as yourself walking around...it's an insult to his genius." Huntress said as she extended a claw out of her right palm and arched her arm back ready to impale Jolt through the chest.
"HEY BITCH!" A voice came from the torn door way which caused huntress to turn her head in that direction to see a very blood stained Ashley holding a claw in her right paw standing on her hind paws with a look of pure rage in her eyes." DROP MY BROTHER!" Ashley yelled and threw the claw which impaled Huntress right though her skull killing her instantly causing her to drop jolt to the floor as she fell to the ground with her head gushing blood.
Jolt stood up and stared at her for a few moments in shock holding his shoulder before he ran over and hugged Ashley tightly who was now sobbing uncontrollably." Ashley what happened?!" Jolt asked in a panicked tone.
"They're all dead Jolt...." Ashley said in a sobbing whisper." Mom....Dad....our entire family is DEAD!" Ashley said beginning in a whisper and ending in a shrieking tone.
"Oh, god...." Jolt said in a whisper as tears began to swell in his eyes. Jolt held Ashley in his arms as he too began to sob loudly.....
Sometime later....
Jolt, Ashley, Rachel, Meo, and Professor Oak stood next to many other's who had known the Ketchum's stood silently as a priest spoke. (play Sadness and sorrow now)
"Today....we honor those who live have been lost at the hands of a terrible tragedy." The priest said and let a motion of silence ensue to all who were attending.
After a few moments the priest spoke up once again" In the Name of God, the merciful Father, we commit the bodies of Koda, Alexia, Camellia, Josh, Julian, and Ash Ketchum to the peace of the grave."
The priest said softly before he drops three Handfuls of earth over their graves as he spoke" From dust you came, to dust you shall return." The priest said dropping the finally handful of earth over their graves.
The priest then turned to everyone attending and bowed his head as did." Let us prey." The priest said and began to recite a prayer. "God, we thank you for the life that you give us. It is full of work and of responsibility, of sorrow and joy Today we thank you for Koda, Alexia, Camellia, Josh, Julian, and Ash Ketchum , for what they has given and received. Help us in our mourning and teach us to live for the living in the time that is still left to us. Thank you for eternal life that can give light and joy to our days and years already here on earth. God, we thank you for your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to see that it is he who opens the gate to the life that shall never die."
Everyone including Jolt and Ashley said" Amen" After the priest had finished.
The priest then turned to face the graves of Koda, Alexia, Camellia, Josh, Julian, and Ash Ketchum. "The Lord bless you and watch over you. The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord look kindly on you and give you peace; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." The priest said as everyone stared in sadness at the graves. Ashley buried her head in Jolt chest fur and began to sob silently into it.
The priest then turned to everyone with a deep sorrow in his eyes. "Let us go in the peace of the Lord." The priest said softly and began to walk away. Everyone silently followed including Ashley who still was sobbing quietly.
Later that evening.....
The Ketchum household had been cleaned by professional staff so that not one speck of blood remained. However for Ashley the images of her family laying dead in that house still haunted her so they went to Jolt and Ashley home they had built in the forest instead.
Ashley, Meo, and Rachel sat silently in the house not speaking for sometime while Jolt stood staring out the door into the night till Rachel finally spoke up." It's hard to believe they are really gone...but the proof is in the pudden...." Rachel said in a soft tone.
"Now I wish I had never left the house with Rachel...I could have done something.....anything...." Meo said quietly.
Ashley looked up tears still dripping down her cheeks and placed a paw on his shoulder." There was nothing you could have done....you would and grandma would have been killed too..." Ashley said her voice breaking as she spoke and looked at Meo for a few moments before she buried her head in his shoulder sobbing loudly.
"All we can do now is cope with our loss and try to move on..." Rachel said quietly until Jolt abruptly punched the wall putting a dent in it.
"We didn't lose them......THEY WERE STOLEN FROM US!" Jolt yelled at the top of his lungs." When I find Chris...I won't only kill him....I'll incinerate him!" Jolt said as he punched the wall again putting a hole in the same spot he put a dent in.
"Don't you think for one moment you're going to do this alone..." Meo said standing up and walking over to Jolt.
Ashley then stod up without warning and glared at both of them tears still streaking down her cheeks." IS THAT ALL YOU FUCKING CARE ABOUT? REVENGE? WHO CARES THAT WE LOST ALMOST EVERYONE WE EVER CARED ABOUT! NO, ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOUR PETTY REVENGE! YOU OF ALL POKEMON KNOW REVENGE ONLY ENDS IN MORE PAIN MEO!" Ashley screamed at the top of her lungs and dashed out the door followed by Rachel who flashed them both a glare as she walked past and stopped just before she walked out the door to turn and look at them.
"Revenge solves nothing....I thought you had learned your lesson Meo...I guess I was wrong..." Rachel said and then stared at Jolt with the same glare." You some common fucking sense for once in your life young Chu! Ashley needs you now more than ever and all you can think about is revenge! If you love her as you say you do...then I suggest you come out to speak to her after you've had a long time to think about things...." Rachel said and then turned around and walked out into the forest to join Ashley leaving Meo and Jolt standing there with stunned expressions on their faces.
"I'm a fool...." Meo said looking down at the floor." I know I shouldn't be obsessed with revenge...but...I can't sit here and do nothing while Chris roams free able to take more innocent lives!" Meo said looking up at Jolt with a determined expression on his face.
Jolt shook his head" It's different this time Meo....Chris not only attacked our family...he killed them...and Ashley told me the first Chu she say was Josh laying dead with a claw in his back looking as if he was trying to escape with a terrified look on his face....Next to me Josh was the Chu she was closest with. Ashley will never been the same again Meo." Jolt said and began to walk toward the door." I'm going to go speak with Ashley now. Take care Meo." Jolt said then turned and walked out the door.
As Jolt walked thought eh forest at night the night cool breeze whisked through his fur causing him to stand for a moment and stare up into the sky at the moon which was now full." Everything used to be so simple....now it's not anymore." Jolt said to himself as Ashley slowly walked up behind him." I know your there dear...come stand beside if want." Jolt said without looking behind himself.
"You always could hear something coming from a mile away." Ashley said softly as she walked up next to him, stood on her hind paws, and held his left arm laying her head on it.
Jolt then let out a sigh and put him arm around her holding her tightly at his side. "But I couldn't hear or see this coming...our family maybe gone...but they will forever live in our hearts." Jolt said softly still looking at the moon.
"Jolt...I know what your planning to do...and I just want to say one thing." Ashley said which caused Jolt to look down at her.
"Ashley...this doesn't only have to do with our family...if chris has indeed gained this kind of power...he must be stopped...and I'm the only one strong enough to do it." Jolt said in a quite yet passionate tone.
"I know....and I want to help." Ashley finished causing Jolt to give a look of surprise.
"Ashley...you don't have my kind of strength...I know you want to stop Chris as much as I do...but your not strong enough." Jolt said in a concerned tone.
Ashley looked up at Jolt with a sorrowed look in her eyes and then turned away.
" Jolt...then I saw that thing kill..." Ashley broke off causing Jolt to come up behind her and put his paws around her." When I saw that thing kill our mom....something changed in me...." Ashley said breaking off once again.
"I know...it's ok...it changed all of us honey." Jolt said softly only to have Ashley break Jolt hold and turn around to look at him.
"No I mean something really changed in me! I matched that thing's strength and then some and I..."Ashley said breaking off once again.
"You could? How is that possible?" Jolt asked with a shocked expression on his face.
"I don't know! It was me...but it wasn't me....it's hard to explain...it was like I was staring at a monster version of myself....I was cruel and merciless to that thing....it scared me at first...but then I thought if I could tap into that strength...I could help you." Ashley finished to which Jolt shook his head.
"Out of the question sis...I love you...but we can't risk our litter." Jolt said and locked his muzzle on hers kissing her passionately and broke the kiss shortly afterwards and walked away." Stay with Rachel." Jolt said and walked away slowly into the forest followed closely by Meo who had ran out next to him.
"Are you sure about this Jolt? I mean leaving her with Rachel like that?" Meo said causing Jolt to stop and place a paw on his shoulder.
"Stay with them Meo..." Jolt said and before Meo could object raised his paw to stop him." They need someone to protect them in case Chris finds them here. And I would trust that responsibility to no one other than you." Jolt said smiling at him warmly." I'll be back as soon as I can..." Jolt said and began to walk away only to be stopped by Rachel.
Jolt groaned at this" Please no lectures." Jolt said breathlessly as he stared at her only for her to hand him a handkerchief.
"Don't open it...that's a thunderstone...if things get too bad...use it." Rachel said placing a paw on his shoulder.
"Thank you...Rachel. But I can‘t take this..." Jolt said handing it back her." I'm going to make the last thing he sees my paw in his skull...but not as a Raichu. Please take care of Ashley for me while I'm gone." Jolt said and then walked off into the forest leaving Meo and Rachel looking on until he faded out of sight....
