Kakure

Seth was thankful to Elle for doing what she did, when Meowth called his bluff he had been momentarily confused and unsure of how to continue. Her little stunt though helped him collect himselflong enough to hear the pokemon spill his guts on their hide out. "That wasn't so hard now was it?" he asked, tossing the pokemon to the now awake, but groggy, Jessie and James. "You know what time it is right?" asked Elle.

(lol blasting off again pun)
 
Elle grinned slightly after Seth tossed the meowth into the hole with the others and she moved closer to the edge to look at them, her grin becoming bigger as she looked at them. Hearing Seth speak, she looked at him before glancing at Ash. "Perhaps we should let him do this part." she whispered to Seth. "It could put him on the road to making up with Pikachu. She said this parts always been her favorite when dealing with them." She looked over at Ash where he stood with her new friend. "What do you say Ash? You up for sending them off?" she asked him.
 
Seth had to admit, he was a little bumped out he wouldn't get to send them off, he had grown fond of it by now to, but Elle had a point. "Yeah better hurry before they start the lame mottoa again," he smirked.

Ash still seemed a little depressed, but he took out Pikachu's pokeball. "Use a thundershock Pikachu," he said hoping she would listen once he tossed the ball.
 
Elle moved close to him and kissed him on the cheek. "We can do it next time. I promise." she said softly before turning to watch Ash. She could tell that he was still depressed over the fight between him and Pikachu. She stood back near Seth and waited.

When the pokeball was thrown, Pikachu appeared she looked at Ash with a glare for a moment before turning her back to him and looking at Team Rocket. Using more power then she needed, she used thundershock and watched as the trio were surrounded with yellow electricity before there was a loud explosion and they went flying through the air. "It looks like we're blasting off again!!!!" they screamed before disappearing.
 
Seth flinched as he watched Pikachu go to work on Team Rocket. He even felt that it was a bit excesive, and almost felt sorry for the trio, though remembering what mewoth said about a poffin shop and clefairy picture, it made him forget about them quickly as he was a step closer to helping Sarah and Jewel.

Ash really wasn't sure what to say when OPikachu glared at him, he just sort of pulled his hat down more so the brim covered his face more as he looked down.
 
Pikachu looked over at Ash again and opened her mouth to speak before noticing that he'd pulled his hat down and wasn't looking at her. Closing her mouth again, Pikachu turned away and began walking along the road towards the town, her shoulders tense and her ears laid back. Sarah and Elle watched with wide eyes. "I'll go after her." Sarah said softly before scurrying after Pikachu.

Elle sighed and looked at Seth before moving over to Ash, ducking down to look under his hat at him with a slight pout before reaching up quickly and plucking his hat off his head. "Hey, you shouldn't be pouting." she said softly. "You should apologize to her. Do something special for her or with her. Pikachu will forgive you, but only if you apologize. She does love you.... she's just feeling a little hurt."
 
Seth wondered what to do, but it seemed Elle already knew what to say. He couldn't blame the kid for being so, useless, after all Ash never liked to admit he messed up, so it was mostlikely hard for him to apologize even if he really wanted to.

"But what should I do?" Ash asked Elle. "I mean I can;t just say sorry....right?" he was like a little kid who did something wrong and didn't know how to tell his parents about it, like he got a bad grade.
 
Elle smiled slightly and nodded. "Yes, you can and you will." Elle said softly. "You will go to her, appologize for what you did or didn't do that hurt her and you will do it now. If you don't, you'll always feel bad and she'll always feel as if you don't care. Now go or I'll give you a shock." Elle had her hands on her hips, his hand clenched in one of her hands. When she finished speaking, she smacked Ash with his hat a couple of times then shoved it onto his head, standing up onto her tip-toes to press a soft kiss against his cheek. "Go one Ash. She misses you." she said, this time she whispered with a small smile.

Up ahead Pikachu had slowed down and she was softly talking with Sarah, her ears drooped and her head rested on her shoulder while Sarah walked with her arm around Pikachu's waist, softly whispering to the older girl.
 
Ash seemed to cower under her assault, though it wasn;t painful, it was surprising, escpecially the kiss as the end. He nodded, smirking gntly and ran on ahead. "You think that was a little overboard Elle?" Seth asked her, having watched the whole thing. He hoped the trainer did alright with this little apology of his.

Ask cught up to the two girls, breathing heavily a little bit. "Pikachu....I'm sorry," he said straight out, he had more to say, but he had to catch his breath first.
 
Elle smiled gently and watched Ash run on ahead before turning to Seth with a small smile. "Nope. I don't think it was." she said while shaking her head. "He needed some sense knocked into him. Why? Do you think it was?" she asked him, moving over to Seth side and linking her arm with his. "Come on. We don't want to fall too far behind."

Pikachu was leaning against Sarah, her eyes closed part of the way and her ears laid back. When Ash came running up, the girls paused and looked at him curiously as he breathed heavily. When he apologized, Pikachu looked surprised and she remained quiet. "Do you want me to stay?" Sarah asked her and Pikachu shook her head while pulling back with a gentle sigh. "No. I'll be fine." Nodding, Sarah pulled away the rest of the way and trotted back down the road towards Seth and Elle, leaving Ash alone with his pokegirl.
 
Seth thought about it for a moment "Well...it's true...he did need it knocked into him, but maybe a quick zap would have sufficed," he suggested "seems a bit cruel to hit him with his beloved cap," he said but smiled at the irony of what he said.

Ash calmed down a little bit more "I'm sorry...I know I havent been...a good trainer...a good friend either," he said. In truth there was one thing bothering the boy, not pikachu at all, but his own self. "I...don;t really know how to explain why I have been...such a horrible jerk...but it isn;t you at all," he said.
 
Elle tilted her head slightly while holding an arm out to the rattata that came trotting up to them and smiled when the other pokegirl grasped onto the plusles arm. "Yeah well, from what I've heard, he's been zapped so many times by Pikachu that a quick zap probably wouldn't of sufficed." she said to him before grinning. "At least I didn't fry his hat like I wanted to."

Pikachu gently chewed on her bottom lip as she gazed at him. As he continued to apologize, she sighed while gently tugging upon her ear. "Ash.... I.. I love you." she said gently, her voice thick with emotion. "We used to be so good together. What happened to us? After everything we've been through together... After all I've done for you... Being ignored and pushed to the side hurt so much." The girl shook her head and bowed it, some of her longer bangs falling in her eyes as she softly sniffled.
 
"Ok that might have been going to far," Seth agreed. He waited with the two girls as Ash spoke with pikachu up ahead.

Ash felt horrible when she seemed so sad. "Pikachu...it's not you...I love you to...it's just," he said wondering how to say it. "I was curious...about well...a normal girl before," he said finally. It had been gradual, but he had begun to notice normal girls, human girls. It was natural of course, but he felt like he was doing something horrible.
 
Elle giggled softly and leaned against Seth a little, her head resting against his arm as they watched Ash and Pikachu.

Ash's words didn't do anything to comfort her. When she heard him, she looked up at him with a soft squeak and wide eyes before she slowly nodded. "Oh." she murmured. "You should of told me then. I would of backed off and given you more space to meet girls. It's... only normal after all. That a trainer becomes interested in his own kind. Now I feel kind of thick. I was supposed to be able to... spot the signs." Pikachu run her fingers through her hair as she tried to regain some composure.
 
Ash shook his head gently "It's not like I ever hinted it...." he muttered. "I mean...I remember how Brock would go on and on about them, but I never really noticed," he said now feeling stupid himself. "Just this one time....I caught May...." he didn't want to finish, but he was sure pikachu would have gotten the idea. "Afterwards I kinda just kept thinking about it...and felt a little bad, and embaressed."

Seth knew what had been the problem for the most part, of course to him it didn't seem that big a deal, and he'd told Ash a while back to just say it.
 
"You still should of told me." the Pikachu said softly. "Professor Oak told me one day you would start becoming interested in human girls. If you had told me... I wouldn't of been as hurt and I wouldn't of felt so.... alone." She looked back down the road where Seth was standing with the girls before sighing. "After all, that's the way things work and us pokegirl go on." The young pokegirl smiled gently at Ash before reaching up and fixing his hat in an affectionate manner.
 
Ash smiled gently when she fixed his hat "Yeah...Seth said something like that too," he admitted. "I'm sorry...I should have told you...it was just complicated," he told her, gently pulling her close to him. "I love you...so it just felt like it was...well a little wring," he smiled gently, and then kissed her softly.

"I guess that is a good thing," Seth said as he watched him kiss her. "Kinda makes you feel...toasty inside huh?" he joked.
 
Pikachu rolled her eyes and she shook her head with a soft chuckle. "Seth's too wise for his age." she said with a smile. "Ash... with you, everything is either complicated or very simple. But that's what I've always liked about you." As he pulled her close to him, she set her hands against his chest and gazed up into his eyes while playing with his shirt as he continued speaking. When he kissed her, she closed her eyes with a soft sigh and kissed him back just softly.

Elle looked up at Seth and nudged him gently. "Oh stop it." she said with a giggle. "Come on. Lets start to catch up."
 
Seth smirked but nodded and began to walk with the two to catch up with their friends. Of course he waited to say anything until after thy finished kissing. "Finally said something huh?" he nudged Ash as they walked into town.

Ash had rather enjoyed the kiss, and Seths question made him feel rather stupid once more.Though he didn;t say anything in response.

"A clefairy picture," Seth told himself, trying to remember what Meowth had said, his mind had quickly jumped from joking to serious planning on what to do, he guessed it would be best if he managed to steal a team rocket uniform right away.
 
Elle and Sarah once again linked arms and they walked with Seth. When they reach Ash and Pikachu, the two girls smiled at the older one. They could see that Pikachu was happy that Ash had apologized for being a jerk towards her. "Seth, leave him alone." Elle said with a chuckle. "I'm sure Ash knows he's screwed up."

Pikachu slowly ran her hand down Ash's arm before slipping her hand into his own, gently lacing her fingers with his as she held his hand. "Ignore him." she said to Ash with a small smile.

When Seth spoke to himself, Elle looked at him again. "And you press that star on it." she said softly before sighing. "If I know clefairy's and I do, then any picture with one i it will have more then one star on it." She sighed and glanced at Sarah who was smiling gently.
 
Seth had been wondering about getting into the headquarters when they got into town, he doubted they could just waltz inside, they'd need disguises or something. "What should we do guys?" he asked as they sat in the pokecenter, he'd been playing with a thin red coffee straw as he pondered about this.

"I'd like a plan before doing anything," Ash said, which was neither helpful nor anything new.
 
The group sat in relative silence as they relaxed in the pokecenter. When Seth spoke up, Elle looked up from where she was sitting with Sarah. She was holding the ratata's hand as the smaller purple girl dozed off. "Well, I think we should ask about Sarah's trainer first. Then we should get a disguise. I was thinking one of those uniforms those Rocket people wear." she said softly. "But I really want to find her trainer first. I don't want her getting mixed up in all of this."

Pikachu nodded in agreement from where she was sitting next to Ash. "Yeah. She doesn't need to be mixed up in our problems and what we're doing." she said softly. "And I'm sure her trainer misses her just as much as she misses him."
 
Seth nodded in agreement. "What if he is doing exactly what we are planning now?" he asked the plusle. "He might already have tried." In his mind there was no doubt Sarah's trainer was fighting team rocket, he just hoped he had not failed already.

"What is his name?" he asked, hoping someone knew.
 
Elle shook her head slightly. "No, I don't think..." she began saying before Sarah's sleepy voice interrupted her. "Daniel." she mumbled. "His name is Daniel. And he isn't the type to do those things." Elle looked down at the sleepy girl and smiled gently while running her fingers through Sarah's short purple and cream colored hair. "Well, now we know." she plusle said.

Pikachu smiled slightly before nodded before looking up at Ash. "Yeah, I'm sure her trainer isn't quite as crazy as you two." she said, though it was affectionately.
 
Seth nodded but still had to add "You'd be surprised the length people will go through to help someone they love," he said, knowing that like Daniel he would not have normally gone and done what he was doing now, but it was for Jewels sake, and that was enough reason for him to try. "Well...we can go around and ask to see if Daniel is looking for her I suppose...though I don't know how far he may have traveled already," he doubted the trainer would just abandon her.

"Could put flyers all over town......even offer a reward," Ash suggested. "He isn't a lost growlithe you know," Seth responded, and Ash only blinked.
