WHO: Ash, Pikachu and You
WHERE: The Hotel and right outside the hotel
WHAT: Ash doesn't like sitting still. Or his apparition
WHEN: During the Event
WARNINGS: possible mentions of torture, mind control and suicide.


1. Chosen One
It's not the first blizzard Ash has faced and with how he travels like he does he highly doubts it'll be the last. However, that doesn't mean he likes being trapped in one place. He's lucky he and Pikachu were able to make it to the hotel but now that means they can't leave until the storm's over.

He's okay at first-he finds an empty room and he's tired enough that he and Pikachu are able to sleep for awhile-hoping that when they wake up that the blizzard will have stopped. Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case.

"Man.. how long is this gonna go on?" He asks.

"Piika..." Pikachu watches the window with him until they're both distracted by the sudden growl of their stomach and Ash groans.

"Maybe we should see if there's food anywhere." He rolls off what's going to have to pass for a bed, Pikachu leaping up to his shoulder as the two move out of the room. The two make their way down the hall but freeze at the sight of familiar wild red hair.

Pikachu leaps down and stands protectively between the man and Ash. "Pikaa...." Pikacchu growls. "Pika?" He suddenly aware he doesn't have electricity to defend Ash with.

"Lysandare." Ash says, anger leaking into his voice. "What are you doing here?" He demands. Lysandare steps closer and Ash takes a step back.

"I'm here to remind you of your part in my death." The man states, his voice eerily smooth as he moves closer still. Ash takes another step back.

"My part?" He stares blankly.

"Pikapi!" He can vaguely hear Pikachu's voice and then the sounds of Pikachu trying and failing to summon a thunderbolt. He should be more concerned about that but his brain isn't able to concentrate on anything else.

"Yes, Ash Ketchum, it's because you refused to submit to my machine and help me recreate the world." Lysandre steps even closer.

"Pikapi! Pikachu!" Pikachu is calling out to him but he can't think about that as Lysandre's words register.

"You wanted to destroy the world and everyone in it, there's no way I was ever gonna agree to that!" Ash says heatedly, gesturing wildly with his arm to emphasize his point and backing right into a wall.

"That doesn't change the fact your actions decided my fate. If Greninja had just been a little faster-if you'd just realized what was happening.. you could have prevented it all.." Lysandre was far too close now. "Chosen One." He moved to grab Ash and he let out started cry, throwing his hand up to block and closing his eyes, bracing for whatever Lysandre was going to do.

Only..

"Pikapi!" Pikachu's voice was beside him, sounding desperate. Ash chanced opening his eyes and looked around. Where... did Lysandre go? He takes in a deep breath and then lets himself slide down the wall.


2. Making an escape - After the blizzard

Ash has been cooped up in the hotel long enough. The snow's stopped and he can't wait to get outside even if he's not exactly dressed for the cold. It takes some doing but he's able to pry the door open and lets himself out in to the cold air.

"This would be so much easier if we had Talonflame here..." He comments to Pikachu as he has to step very carefully in order to avoid falling over. He's not really got a clear destination in mind, he just needed to get out of the hotel.

"I wonder if there are anymore people trapped in their homes. We should help them out." He tells Pikachu who is clinging to his shoulder. His companion lets out a noise of agreement.

Radley nods kindly. "Yeah, it is," he says. "But sometimes it's harder to do that." That's how he feels about things back home. But he had been trying anyway, before being sent here.

"That's good," Radley says slowly. He doubts Ash has recovered, however.

"Well, the offer always stands," he says. "If you find it's not so easy to forget, I'm here to listen."

He knows pushing won't help. The person has to be ready to talk.

"Okay then," Radley says.

He wonders how the kid Signers deal with being involved in world-ending disasters. If the stories about the Signers are true. He has a hard time wrapping his mind around children being called to save the world.

Radley laughs.

"Sure. Come on over."

He heads for his room.
