Pokemon Fan Fiction / Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Mountain Town ❯ The Beginning ( Chapter 1 )

Mountain Town

Ash, Brock and Misty were walking on a wide path that entered a small town of about thirty houses. There were lush green fields surrounding most of the outer houses, dotted with miltank and the occasional pidgey. Large purple mountains surrounded the town, dropping sharply then sweeping gently on the green hills slowly descending into the valley floor on which the town was based. With the thick forest they had just come through behind them and the sun setting fast behind the mountains, they were more than eager to find a pokemon centre in this little mountain town.

Ash almost dragging himself along the ground, turned to Brock, "Hey Brock, where's the pokemon centre in this town?"

"It's strange, but this town isn't even on the map."

Misty piped in "Maybe this is a new town, and they haven't marked it on the map yet."

"Well, this map is fairly new Misty, and by the looks of this town its fairly old. So that still doesn't explain why this town isn't on the map-"

Ash was at the point of exhaustion, "Who cares whether it's on the map or not! I'm tired and hungry, are you coming Pikachu?"

"Pi-ka"

"Right that's settled, LET'S GO FIND THAT POKEMON CENTER!"

Ash conveniently forgot his lack of energy and ran off into the town with Pikachu bounding beside him. Brock and Misty had no choice but to follow screaming out `WAIT FOR US!!!'

When they got to the town, they stood in awe of how neat, and perfect it seemed. Everything was washed, and although ancient looking seemed almost brand new. However no one was in sight, no one running home, no one working, no one talking in the streets…no body. The companions decided to disregard this and continue their way to finding a pokemon centre. But after a solid half hour of searching, they couldn't find it anywhere. It was dark, and they needed somewhere to stay.

Ash heard distant giggling from somewhere, but ignored it. Then he heard it again, from another direction.

"Do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Misty asked.

Ash strained his ears for the mysterious noise, but couldn't hear it anymore. However he was so concentrated on finding it he didn't notice the woman who had just turned up in front of him. Ash almost back flipped on the spot, but instead just fell over. Upon looking up at the woman, well whom he thought was a woman but now looked like a young lady, he discovered she was extremely beautiful. She had long flowing black hair, tied loosely with a red ribbon. Her eyes were a deep blue, with a hint of purple like the surrounding mountains. But before he could say anything, Brock had already intercepted and was holding her hands telling how beautiful she was. Almost immediately was Misty by his side, dragging him away by the ear.

"Brock, will you ever learn!" Misty leaned in closer to Brock so only he could hear, "Plus I don't trust this girl, there's something `peculiar' about her."

The lady bent over to help Ash get up, "I'm sorry, did I scare you. It seems that you have no place to stay, yes?" Ash nodded, mesmerised by the lady's beauty, "Well you can come and stay at my house with my sisters." She smiled, and began to lead the way to her house.

Brock screamed, "SISTERS!!! SHE HAS SISTERS!!!!!"

Brock and Ash followed the lady almost like puppies; Misty however was hesitant of this strange lady. Call it women's intuition, but Misty just wasn't getting good vibes from this woman. Reluctantly she followed the strange lady down the pristine streets of the quiet town, right up to a large cream coloured house, decorated with colourful flowers illuminated by garden lights.

They entered the hallway of the house, and were immediately greeted by the smell of warm home cooking. Misty realising just how hungry she was, decided to let her intuitions drop, she was probably just over reacting anyway.

Two beautiful girls entered the hall and escorted them to the dinner table. They had to be twins, as their appearance was absolutely identical. Both had ruby red hair, and dazzling ice blue eyes. They were both the same height and build and even, it seemed, had the same voice tone as well.

The travellers looked upon the feast with dreamy eyes and drooling mouths, foods of all kinds were laid out on the table. Truly a feast fit for a king. Three places were set at the table, all though obviously there were more than three in the household. It was almost as if this whole dinner had been pre planned for their arrival, however the twins looked a slight disappointed when Misty took a seat and Pikachu had to share seats with Ash.

After they had eaten, they were each shown to a room, each room being exactly the same as the other. Cream with large four post beds and crimson red drapes hanging from them. The bed linen was white silk, with purple silk pillows.

"It's almost like a hotel." Misty stated.

The girls leading them seemed to ignore Misty's remark, in fact they seemed to almost ignore that she was even there. The twins directed them towards the baths, conveniently forgetting to get Misty a towel or even telling her where to go. She was left to figure it out by herself as Ash and Brock and Pikachu were carted off by another sister towards the baths she had made ready for them.

"Gee, real hospitality. The meal was great, but I'm not even sure they wanted me eating it. They don't even want to know that I'm here, I mean even Pikachu got a towel. Guess I'll just have to find my way around myself."

Meanwhile in the baths Pikachu Ash and Brock were relaxing in each of their own rather large bathtubs.

"These sisters are really nice, and this place is fantastic!"

Ash opened one eye lazily, "Yeah, that food was great and this bath is so relaxing."

"Pi-ka."

The brunette sister who had made the baths for them walked in, Ash and Brock quickly ducked for cover under the bubbles, both turning red as tomatoes.

"Oh don't mind me, I just wanted to know if you three needed anything. Back massage, scrub you're back?"

Ash and Brock, even redder now, shook the heads from side to side very quickly. The brunette girl smiled and left the room.

"Phew, guess that one doesn't know much about modesty."

"You said it Brock, I'm just gonna go back to relaxing, and hope she doesn't come in again."

Misty was walking from hall to hall, not quite sure where she was anymore as each of them were the exact same cream colour.

"This place is a labyrinth! I'll die before I can have a bath. I guess I'll try this door. What? It's jammed…hmmm." Misty looked around her to see if anyone was nearby. With returned curiosity of just what was so peculiar about this family of beautiful girls, she proceeded to push the door open.

Finally the door came free, only to reveal and old closet with dingy red walls and carpet. Disappointed, Misty was about to leave the closet until she noticed something scrawled on the walls.

"Of beauty, beware…"

Puzzled by this, Misty didn't notice the black haired sister standing behind her. Misty shrieked and hit her head against the back of the closet.

"I'm sorry, I seem to be getting into a habit of doing that. My sisters forgot to give you a towel so here you go. Oh and the bathrooms down the hall on your left." She smiled at Misty with an almost believable smile, yet it still felt false.

Misty not wanting to attract attention to her suspicion took the towel graciously and walked down the hall. She peeked back around the corner to see the black haired lady carefully locking the door to the red closet and walking away nervously.

"Something's fishy here, I've got to find out what. I don't think Ash and Brock are going to be much help, they're too busy mesmerised by these witches. No it's up to me! But first, man do I need a bath."

Misty headed towards the bath, with the slightly eerie feeling of eyes watching her. She could also swear she heard giggling in the distance. But she was tired, so she passed it off as mind tricks and decided to go and enjoy her bath.

Somewhere in a dark room, a voice speaks out from a glowing entity in the centre. "She's too close, I don't like it…. "

Review and tell me if you want me to finish this, my friend thinks its crap… which it probably is I don't know I'm half asleep -_-
