Prologue
It was a regular Friday night in Pallet town. At one particular house on Petalburg street, the Maple family was getting ready for bed. It was the end of November, a day after Thanksgiving as a matter of fact. The Maple family had just finished eating Thanksgiving leftovers for dinner and were currently getting ready for bed. The family was made up of two parents and two children. The parents names were Norman and Caroline Maple. They had two young children name May and Max. May was 4 years old and Max was only a year old.
It was Thanksgiving break right now, so preschooler May didn't need to go to sleep as early as she usually did. It didn't matter either way because from all the turkey she had eaten, she was very tired from dinner. She told her parent and her little brother goodnight and she headed to bed. Little did she or her family know, someone very evil was plotting something that would change all of there lives forever.
Ketchum Household
Delia Ketchum was cleaning up the kitchen in her small house. Her and her son Ash had just finished eating a leftover dinner from Thanksgiving. It had been just the two of them over the holidays, since Delia's husband, Red Ketchum, had left her and Ash over a month ago. Not much after her 31st birthday. He had told her that he just didn't want to be in a relationship with anyone anymore.
Delia had cried the first week or two, as everyone would do if there loved one just up and left, but the hardest part was explaining to her 4 year old son why his father wouldn't be coming home anymore. He had been confused asking why daddy hadn't come home yet. It broke her down to the point of tears to tell him that daddy wouldn't be living with them anymore. She had decided to wait until he was older to explain to him in full detail of what had happened. She wanted to wait until he understood a bit more.
Her son Ash was 4 years old and on holiday from Kanto preschool. He was a little young for his grade but he was very smart, a trait her inherited from his mother. Why Delia was doing the dishes, she began to think to herself.
"I wonder how Ash will react to knowing about his father in the future, I hope he understands completely." As Delia was thinking about the future, a 4 year old Ash Ketchum was talking to himself in bed.
"I wonder when daddy will come home," Ash mumbled. He was clearly confused about everything that was going on, but he was only 4 years old. "I miss daddy a lot, I hope he comes home for my birthday at least, I wanna share my presents with him!" When that statement left his mouth, little Ash closed his eyes and drifted asleep wanting his daddy.
Several hours later at the Maple household
It was late at night at the Maple household, 1:30am to be exact. Everyone was peacefully sleeping in bed, all happy and calm. Unbeknownst to them, all of there lives were about to change forever. Little did they know, just outside of May's window, a very evil man was plotting something unspeakable. He was an erie man with a shady past with petty crimes such as battery and thievery, but tonight was different. He was about to take an unsuspecting girl and make her his "toy". He was a very sick man, not physically but mentally.
As he approached the bedroom window, he notice a few small securities on the window. Thankfully for him he knew how to disarm small locks and alarms, so he did so and slowly began to open the window. As he looked into the bedroom, he immediately noticed his target. A little girl still in deep slumber on her bed. He grinned evilly. He stepped into her room quietly and made his way over to the little girls bed. On the way he had to watch his step for there were so many toy's on the floor. One wrong step meant too much noise and waking someone up.
Soon enough he reached her bed. He quickly thought about what move to do next. He quickly decided to grad the girl by the mouth to prevent her from screaming. As he grabbed her by the mouth, a small "eeeeekkkk" was heard but muffled by his hands. As the little girl looked around and tried to escape, tears had started to escape from her eyes. She was scared.
"Do not make a single peep or I will hurt you bad kid!" The man whispered harshly. The little girl began to whimper faintly, which was a big mistake. The next thing she knew, her hair was being yanked with enough force to make new tears appear. She stopped making noise as she just wanted the pain to stop. As the man was climbing out of the window with his prize, the window suddenly slammed down on his hand and breaking it instantly, leavung a nice sized gash to. The next thing he knew he was running through the forest with a little girl, who had passed out about 5 minutes ago due to fear. He took a moment to stop and listen carefully. It was finally silent, just what he wanted to hear.
"I guess I finally lost the cops," the man mumbled. He looked down at the unconscious girl and smiled evilly. "Looks like you're mine now sweetheart, I can't wait to see what fun I can have with you."As the man kept walking, he thought of all the things he intended to do with the girl over the years... That is if she even lasts that long...
The next day the kidnapping was all over the news. Apparently someone had broken into the Maple household and abducted the families 4 year old daughter, May Maple. In the interview with the parents about what had happened, Mrs. Maple broke down on her knee's crying, while Mr. Maple tried to conceal his tears but failed as well. They both pleaded for the man to bring there baby girl home. The news reporter told the camera information to know when looking for the girl.
"Please everyone keep a sharp eye out for little girl May Maple," the news reporter said. "she has brown hair, is around 44inches tall, and has ocean blue eyes. Any news to report on little May should be notified to the police immediately."
For the next 6 months, Pallet town was searched from top to bottom looking for May. Several people that had suspicion towards them had there houses searched only to turn up nothing. People held events to raise awareness of May's disappearance, to even her parents getting May's face on the back of milk cartons. In the middle of June the following year, May's father Norman received a phone call from the police station.
"Hell Mr. Maple. I'm afraid I have some bad news for you," the officer said.
At the tone and the voice of the officer, Norman got scared at what he was about to hear.
"We have officially called off the investigation. We've spent almost 7 months searching for your daughter and we haven't found any evidence. We are deeply sorry for your loss..."
After hearing these words, Norman stopped listening and hung up the phone. Tears were flowing freely from his eyes at this point. He had basically lost his little girl. Just at that moment, Caroline Maple walked into the room to see where the crying was coming from. She saw her husband and asked whats wrong. In between sobs he replied.
"They've called off the search...our little girl is gone..."
As the words left Normans mouth, his wife had started to sob in his chest. They both just held each until no more tears where left.
They had just lost there baby girl forever...Or had they?
