Dead Beat

"Giovanni! Please, wait! Don't go!" Deliah yelled out as she rushed out the screen door. It loudly banged shut behind her. She ran over to the long black limo that sat in her driveway, her stomache churning with nervousness. Why was he leaving her now? Didn't he care about their relationship, or his son?
"Deliah, I'm never coming back to this horrible place again, and there's absoulutly nothing you can do to stop it..." Giovanni snarled coldly as he rolled down the windows of his black limo. Deliah finally caught up with the limo, and she stopped in front of the windows. Her breathes came out in gasps from all the running. But she was also gasping in nervousness. Her husband was about to walk out on her, and destory everything---their family, and their memories.
She looked up at Giovanni and cried out, "What about Ash? He'll want to know what happened to his father!" Her body shook violently as the tiny drops of tears escaped from her brown eyes. The tears dripped onto the concrete driveway, making little tip-tap noises as they hit.
Giovanni smirked. The sight of Deliah crying was too good to be true. He was always sadistic, and that was one of the reasons he wanted to leave her.."I don't care what you do with him," he sneered. "I just hope I never see that brat again..." After saying those harsh words, the black limo started driving away. Deliah threw her arms up in the air, yelling for Giovanni to come back. But it was worthless. The limo kept driving, and if Deliah tried to chase it, then the limo would just drive away faster until it was out of sight. She knew it would.
Deliah stood there, staring hopelessly at the black car edging it's way through Pallet Town. Gioavanni had told her that he had a driver coming to pick him up, and that he wanted to leave. Giovanni had never cared about Deliah, or their son, Ash. But Deliah couldn't, didn't, see that until now. After the harsh beatings and fights, after stealing her money, or what she had left of it, after all the two had went through, Deliah now saw what she couldn't see before.
Giovanni had never cared, and he would never come back.
I was just two years old when that happened. Although Mom didn't see me, I was there. I was hiding behind the screen door, watching as my dad drove away. I don't know why he left, but I do remember him and my mom fighting alot, so I guess that's why. I also remember seeing my dad hit my mom alot. She always told him to stop, but he never listened. He just kept beating her and beating her, so in a way, I'm happy that he's gone.
My mom told me that my dad left to become a Pokemon master four years ago, but I don't think so. After seeing my dad drive away, and my mom's shouts, I've never thought so. I've always known the truth about my dad, but I never told mom about it because I didn't want her to worry.
I'm not too sure if I'm correct on this or not, but I think my dad works for Team Rocket. I do know that Dad left me and Mom because we were going through harsh times. We didn't have enough money, and Dad wouldn't give Mom any of it because he was so greedy. He fed off Mom's money, or what she had left. So when Mom ran out of money, Dad decided to leave.
He was sadistic, and he was greedy. He never cared about me or my family, but he did care for himself.
Brock and Misty belive that my dad left to become a Pokemon trainer, but he didn't. Everytime me and my friends vist my Mom, she always talks about Dad and how good of a trainer he was. Stuff like that makes me sick to my stomache. Especially when Mom tells me how much I resemble my dad. Blech!
I know why Dad left me and Mom. I know about Pokemon trainers, and when they leave their familes behind. But what I can't understand are dead beat dads.
A/N: Sorry if this story was confusing, but I tried explaining it through Ash's eyes. If you need anything answered, please lemme know. Flames/critcs are welcome here!
