Alternate Universe

Chapter One

Headlights shinned onto the all welcoming, and slightly falling apart, BitterSprings sign as a motorcycle flew past it. It was early morning in the sleepy town and not a single shop was open even then Gas station was closed, the town wasn't very big, just a little one light town and not even a red light just one of those little blinking yellow light kind of towns. The motorcyclist took little time in actually looking around the non awake town before pulling into the small auto repair shop, and turning their bike off.

From said parking lot they could see most of the town, straight across from this shop was a fairly new renovated donuts shop with the post office to the right right of it, and the highway to its left, to the left of the auto shop was the "local cafe' every town had. Up passed the light was the gas station with the added Antique shop attached to it. Assuming like most town either a left or a right at the light took you to the housings and the all so famous more then likely two of hair salons and or barber shops. While the other way took you to either a local park or theater, guessing from this town they where going with park. As the biker rolled its head while holding its neck headlights shinned on them, as a red beat up slightly rusting chevy rolled into the parking lot.

A slightly taller then average highted man, stepped out he wasn't big and muscular but he was well built and more on the just skinny side of things. He had black hair in a mess, like he just rolled out of bed and put on jeans he stepped up to the bikers side, he stood for a second sipping his, what was assumed coffee, as he eyed the newcomer.

'Whats wrong with it,' was all the young man asked as he dug in his pockets for keys

"Nothing," came a grumble from under the helmet

"Then what you want," was the sassy reply

"Help wanted," the biker said pointing at the sign in the window

'So you want a job, look man its too early for interviews, and there's paper work, and-," the sound of a bigger truck pulling up stopped the man

"Mr. Ketchum," was all a woman had to say as she rolled the window down

"How many" the man groaned as he stretched his arms

"Well its everything you've ordered this month, so a lot,"

"Damn it, hey you still want that job, help me do this and you got- hey where you going,"

"Moving my bike is all, calm your tits," the biker said as he rolled his bike behind the Chevy and took his helmet off, along with his jacket. He was a bit taller then the Ketchum man, and bigger built, not fat but muscle. He had purple hair pulled back in a small, ponytail. The man walked to the back of the truck and threw up the door before hopping inside. The Ketchum man took his jacket off and set his coffee down before going to help. All and all it took about 45 minutes to unload the truck before sending it on its way.

"So base pay is 9/hr. We work from 5-5 everyday except saturdays we work till 3 and we are closed on Sundays. We do everything from stickers to the computer work on cars, and delivery trucks come every Tuesday. Got it?,' the Man said sitting down once he got the shop open

It wasn't much, much nicer then some run down ones, had a couch as you entered the door, a counter with a register and the door to the office behind it, vending machine and a window to see inside the average Joe care auto shop. The newcomer smelt coffee brewing witch made him turn around, sitting beside the register was a coffee pot going to town making the black liquid.

'So I didnt catch your name there newcomer,"

"Didn't catch it because I didn't say it,"

'So damn rude, well I'm Ash Ketchum, my pregnant Fiance runs the antique shop and helps at the gas station her name is Misty, now your turn,"

"Paul,"

"Just Paul,"

"Stone, anything else,"

"When did you get out,"

Paul's dark eyes glared into the Ketchum's brown ones, before he rolled his neck.

"About a week ago,"

"What was you in for,"

'A year, beat up the damn mayors kid after he hit my woman,"

"Aw, at least they let you off easy, or whatever,"

"Yeah, I got released 3 months early after they found out it was a defense charge, well more or less cops couldn't hide all the evidence from the video tape,"

"I don't mean to be so nosy I usually leave that up to my wife, but i just need to know who I'm fixing to be paying not that this truly even affects that, just show up an work I don't care what ya did,"

"I figured as much, you seam like the second chances kind of human,"

"Ill take that as a complement, and now ill leave you with your first chore, count my tires!," and with that he entered the office.

"Sorry I'm late Dawn I was being Nosy at the Auto Shop," said a honey blonde haired woman as she started to look at the donuts in the cases.

'Thats fine Serena, let me guess you want your cream filled donuts while Mr. Clemont wants his plain ol glazed and Bonnie the cinnamon twist?," a Blue haired woman with bright eyes asked coming around the corner in a pink apron

'Yes, then I gotta get the station opened and running, but have you see the new face,"

"New face,"

"Yes, there's a new fella helping Ash at the shop, I had to take my Car over there, Clemont finally said he couldn't fix it so I took it in,"

"Whats he look like,"

"Big and Dangerous, nothing like what grows around here," the blonde said as she took her donuts and paid before leaving

The blue haired woman looked out the window hoping to steal a glance a the man, but sadly her morning "rush" was coming in so it would have to wait for a later date and time.

"Darn a wholes days work and I still haven't seen the new guy everyone's buzzing about," Dawn muttered to herself as she cleaned the last of the trays

BING DONG

"Oh sorry I'm fresh out of donuts you'll have to come back tomorrow-,"

Dawn turned around to stare down the end of a pistol, as a person dressed in black stood behind her

"Fresh out of donuts but loaded on cash pop the drawer,"

Her legs started to shake as she tried to walk calmly to the register, her fingers didn't wanna move right as she had to try three times to get the right buttons pushed to pop the drawer.

"There isn't much most people use their cards today,"

'Shut up!,"

The guy yanked the drawer up, and started towards the door his gun still pointed at Dawn, he pushed on the door signaling the welcoming bing-

SMACK

The guy fell over and causing his gun to go off, Dawn screamed as it sounded and the money hit the floor. Standing in the door way was Paul and Ash, one on the phone with the police the other holding the crowbar staring down the blue haired woman who was now sitting sprawled out on the floor tears running down her face.
