DISCLAIMER: first off thank you for checking this fan fic out plus I don't own Pokémon because if I did Ash would be his actual age and he would be with Serena XD. And I know its highly unlikely that Giovanni is ash's actual father but if any of you guys have any theories on who ash's father might be let me know because that answer has been killing me .

Chapter 1

In a small town outside the big city there was a beautiful single mother with short silver hair that was tied up into a short ponytail, she had flawless features and gorgeous snow white skin she was absolutely stunning. she raised her only son for 9 years, she always gave thanks that even though he is the son of a cold heartless man that was also the leader of team Rocket. despite all of that her son was still somehow kind and generous, nothing like his father. The boy had her nose but his father's pointy chin he even had silver highlights in his hair that resembled his mothers hair. However she would be terrified when he would get angry over the town's bullies he had his father's heartless gaze and unstoppable rage. She absoultly loved her son but she feared that maybe deep down inside him he could be corrupted like his father so she kept his father's identity a secret from him she believed her son deserved a chance to become a man and not to be tainted by his father's influence. However her wishes would be shattered as the leader of team rocket contacted her and demanded to see his son. She knew what she had to do. She spent all night with her son trying to make the most of what she had left with him and held on to him tight throughout the night. she woke up her son early and told him to run some errands into the big city but before he left she told him how much she loved him and that he is a special and wonderful boy and to not let anyone change that about him. She slowly smiled as she watched her little boy walk into town and a single tear escaped her eye. Soon she felt a chill run up her spin and slowly braced herself when she noticed a helicopter coming over the horizon with the recognizable red R on the side. She will not let them take her little boy.

The young little boy ran as fast as his little feet could carry him, heading towards the smoke that came from his house "NOO MOOOM" the little boy shouted as he ran towards his home and saw his mother's charred dismembered body in the middle of the house that was engulfed in flames. The boy's eyes watered and tears streamed down his face as he felt his heart break as the woman who loved and raised him for nine years of his life laid there lifeless. "don't look kid" a strange man said as he turned the young kid away from the devastation. The little kid kicked and punched trying to get lose "ENOUGH BOY…listen I am your dad my name is Giovanni and I run a powerful organization, come with me and I will train you to become strong and fearless. you will have your revenge but you must fallow my orders and never question me do you understand "Giovanni said as he placed his heavy hand on his son's shoulder. The boy clenched his fist and looked up into his father's eyes and felt comfort in him and slowly nodded his head in agreement "Excellent… so do you have a name boy?" Giovanni questioned as he guided the young boy to his private helicopter "my name is Ebon" the boy answered as he stepped into the helicopter and watched his childhood home crumble down to Ash.

10 years later

In a secret Team Rocket base

Ebon sat in his room and he stared blankly up at the wall thinking back to that day 10 years ago. His now medium short black and silver hair, he was a stocky build thanks to his training, "my mother would kill me if she saw this" Ebon laughed to himself as he ran his hand up his right forearm, his fingers grazing the dark black inked tattoo that coiled around his entire forearm. All of his training the past ten years has made him cold and distant, and thanks to his father's intel, his mentors, and his team he tracked and killed the men Giovanni said where responsible for his mother's death. The only comfort he got was when he was with his father, even though he was gone for the first year of his training, Giovanni said something about business in pallet town but after that he grew close to his father. Giovanni told stories of him and his mother and how he wanted them to be safe so he sent them away for their own safety. He apologized that he couldn't save his mother and he promised Ebon that together they will kill those responsible. Ebon smiled to himself as he remembered his father's promise "I promise mom I will make this right and make those responsible pay for what they did to you" Ebon thought in his head while a Team Rocket grunt knocked on his door which snapped him out of his daydream. "what do you want grunt?" the team Rocket grunt gulped and nervously shooked as he tried to look into Ebon's soulless eyes " boss man wants to see you … have another assignment" the grunt stuttered. Ebon smiled as he walked past the grunt "finally. If im lucky my dad found another person who is responsible for my mother's death and I can get out of this shit hole" Ebon thought as he made his way towards Giovanni's office

Ebon walked past members of Team Rocket all of them in their dark black shirts with the solid red R on their chest. Ebon was a member of Team rocket but he didn't bother stealing Pokémon he believed it was beneath him and all he wanted was to kill the murderers who killed his mother however that didn't stop the members of team Rocket giving him the nickname of Assassin. "well look who is back from the dead. I was wondering when you would get out of that room of yours" Ebon turned around and smiled slightly as he saw his former hand to hand combat master " good morning sifu and if you must know I got an assignment from the boss " Ebon answered as he crossed his arms "well thanks to my training you'll take down whatever he sends at you kid, but keep training if you get too soft ill might have to kill you" Ebon's master warned which caused Ebon to chuckle "you wish old man" Ebon walked pass his old mentor and made his way back towards his father's office.

Ebon barged his way into Giovanni's office and stood waiting for his father's assignment. Giovanni exhaled in annoyance "I do wish you would knock before you entered boy" Giovanni slowly swiveled around and instantly noticed his new tattoo "when did you get that?" Giovanni pointed out. Ebon smirked and showed off his tattoo "you like? I got it after I killed that man who was responsible for my mother's death. He rambled on and on how the right hand of god fell from his grace and became the devil and how I fallowed in his footsteps blah blah blah and then I put a bullet in his head" Ebon explained while Giovanni stood up and handed him a file" that's my son. Kill a man and insult them by putting his fears on your own sleeve hehe I like it" Giovanni chuckled" he did kill my mother and he deserved what was coming to him just like this man here" Ebon stated as he eagerly opened the file but his hopes where shattered when he saw a picture of team Rocket's lowest grunts, Jesse, James and a Pokémon named Meowth "what the hell is this?" Ebon shouted in rage "I need you to help them capture a Pikachu and eliminate its trainer" Giovanni stated calmly as he turned his back towards his son "IM ONLY LOOKING FOR MY MOTHER'S MURDERER… this is a team rocket issue not mine" Ebon snapped as he tossed the file aside "WELL ITS YOUR ISSUE NOW BOY… I helped you so far and asked for noting in return now im asking your help not as the leader of team Rocket but as your father Giovanni Ketchum" Giovanni demanded. Ebon growled in agreement and crossed his arms "fine… ill help your rag tag team" Ebon sighed in defeat. "now I have a line of superb Pokémon for you to choose from to help you in this assignment" Giovanni offered as he placed his hand on his son's shoulder who was now his height "no thanks. I already have a weapon of choice and no offense but I don't trust those damn animals" Ebon stated as he pulled out a solid black pistol "this bad boy is way more lethal and efficient then a Pokémon and there's a guarantee that whoever gets shoot with this no mere Pokémon center can help them" Ebon chuckled as he loaded his pistol and walked out of his father's office. Ebon made his way towards his destination and noticed his one and only friend he made in team Rocket. He stood a few inches taller than Ebon with bright blonde hair and pale blue eyes, his face was heavily scared and he missed a piece of his ear lobe on his left ear. "Germain. You bastard how are you" Ebon greeted as he shake his hand "its about time I saw your face again you bastard I was wondering where you were hiding" Germain teased as he nudged his shoulder "ive been hiding from your ugly mug, I swear every time I see your jacked up face I have a nightmare" Ebon quipped as he chuckled while Germain walked beside Ebon both making there way down the hall "up yours pretty boy, unlike you im a man who killed his way to the top…you should really come back to our team Ebon we could use the extra muscle…and…Lauren misses you " Germain admitted. Ebon smiled softly and then felt a soft feminine hand touch his shoulder which caused him to quickly spin around to see a beautiful woman with long straight red hair and a slim figure with beautiful curves in all the right places "it is true Ebon we need the extra muscle…and we need some one on one I wouldn't want you to become sloppy and lose your stealth" Lauren teased and giggled as she saw Ebon blushed slightly. Germain frowned towards Ebon and Lauren "Lauren go check on the new recruits I need to speak with Ebon alone now" Germain ordered which Lauren agreed without hesitation. "Listen I would love to join your team again Germain but right now I'm on a mission for the boss. Maybe after I could join for a few missions but as long as they help me find clues to my mother's killer. Understand." Ebon warned as he pointed in Germain's face. Germain gave Ebon a smug look and nodded his head in agreement. Ebon dressed in his dark grey combat pants and boots with his black long sleeve shirt with a Kevlar vest over it. Ebon walked his way towards the dock and noticed the two team rocket members and a Meowth standing next to a blimp "hey who is the kid dressed in all black? He is kind of cute" Jesse whispered to James as he nodded in agreement "that kid looks familiar…almost like the boss himself" Meowth thought to himself as he watched the young man make his way towards the three of them "so im sure you two have been brief am I right? Good now put your Meowth back into its pokeball and let's get this blimp in the air" Ebon ordered as he stepped in the blimp and waited for them to take off. Meowth jumped onto the ledge to get eye level with Ebon "Listen Twerp I don't know who put you in charge but we know the ropes so just sit back and relax we may not need your help anyways" Meowth bragged. Ebon was caught off guard with the talking Meowth but shook it off and ignored the annoying feline. Once the group where off in the air and made their way to their target Jesse spoke up and asked Ebon the question that bothered her "so kid… how old are you? "Jesse asked. Ebon looked over his shoulder and gave her a quick answer "I'm 20" Jesse, James and Meowth looked in shock "wow I didn't know the boss started taking in kids now" Meowth uttered in disbelief. Ebon and Team Rocket entered a town with all the towns folk dressed up as Pokémon "hmm it must be a festival going on here maybe we should-" "we don't have time for such childish things. Ill be off scouting and ill swoop in to save you from your certain screw up" James stated but was cut off by Ebon as he walked away from the group "geez who died and put him in charge? "Meowth questioned as all three members of team Rocket entered into a costume store to blend into the crowd.

Ebon walked down the streets and watched as children ran around in costumes getting treats and laughing. He stopped and stared at a single mother holding the hand of a little boy as she walked with him down the street. Ebon felt pain and sorrow in his heart and slowly he started to remember how his mother would stay up late making him a costume for a festival similar in his old town, he always loved the effort and detail his mother put in his costumes. Ebon slowly felt a tear start to form and quickly wiped it away and just as he was about to walk away the little boy tugged at his mother's hand and guided her towards Ebon without him noticing. Ebon jumped back slightly when he noticed the young boy and his mother standing in front of him, the little boy offered Ebon one of his pieces of candy and smiled brightly " the rule is your supposed to be in costume but it looked like you needed something sweet" the boy cheered and the mother smiled joyfully and playfully winked at Ebon then she walked away with the little boy skipping alongside his mother. Ebon looked down at the piece of candy and felt a single tear flow down his cheek and smiled softly as he watched the kid and his mother disappear into the crowd.

Ebon hid in the alleys as he watched his GPS tracker that he stuck onto Meowth when he wasn't looking "so it seems that those screw ups ended up in the mayor's digs" ebon said to himself as he leaned against the wall and slowly made his way towards the mayor's front gate. Ebon slowly snuck his way in knocking out the guards one by one and hiding their bodies in the large bushes. Ebon slowly made his way to the top and noticed a group of kids all dressed as Pokémon battling team Rocket and they were winning. Ebon slowly pulled out his pistol and aimed it at the kid who was dressed as a snorlax and slowly stepped out of the shadows but stopped in his steps as he noticed the familiar look in the kids face. A blonde short haired girl standing next to the boy noticed Ebon and quickly informed the kid dressed as snorlax "ASH LOOK OUT"- "what Serena?" Ash questioned after Serena pointed out Ebon "WHAT IS YOUR NAME KID…YOUR FULL NAME "Ebon shouted as he cocked his gun and was ready to fire. Ash frowned and Pikachu immediately jumped in front of Ash and began to charge up its power "I WONT ASK AGAIN… DON'T THINK I WONT KILL YOU" Ebon roared as he stepped closer while Ash immediately stood in front of Serena and stared down Ebon "my name is Ash…ASH KETCHUM FROM PALLET TOWN" Ash shouted and waited for Ebon's next move. Ebon's heart dropped to his stomach and he felt his eye start to twitch but quickly shook it off and holstered his pistol. Ash kept starring down Ebon and kept guarding Serena "so do we get your name?" Ash questioned which caught Ebon's attention and snapped him out of his train of thought "no. but maybe later kid... now how about you blast these fools away" Ebon answered as he pointed towards team rocket "WH- WHAAA…What is that kid thinking" Meowth shouted. Ash smirked and nodded in agreement "PIKACHU USE THUNDER BOLT" Ash shouted as he pointed towards the confused team Rocket "PIIIIIIIIIKAAAAAACHHHUUUUUUUUUU" Pikachu shouted and shocked team rocket causing an explosion that sent team rocket soaring through the sky. "now I think you owe us a name" Ash stated as he turned to look for Ebon but he was gone "where did he go?" Serena questioned while everyone searched their surroundings "well at least the brute is gone "Clemont exhaled in relief as he retrieved his Chespin. Ash Frowned and turned around to face the group "I don't think that is the last time well see him" Ash said to himself as he walked away. Bonnie instantly nudged her elbow to Serena " I see Ash defended his girlfriend without hesitation " Bonnie teased making Serena blush which caused Bonnie to giggle

Ebon ran as fast as he could and hid in an alley with sweat dripping down his forehead "Ketchum…Ketchum… and from pallet town…I have a little brother" Ebon thought to himself but then frowned " I need a word with my "Father" " Ebon spoke to himself as he waited and noticed officer Jenny pull up and instantly get off her cycle and run up to the mayor's mansion "today is not your day cop" Ebon thought to himself as he hop onto the cycle and drove off into the distance.

Ebon stormed into the team rocket base and walked past everyone "whoa Ebon where is the fire?" Germain shouted from across the hall with Lauren by his side. The pair rushed to Ebon's side " I need to speak to the boss" Ebon simply stated as he kept his pace " Ebon wait please…speak with us. tell us what is wrong" Lauren pleaded however Ebon ignored her and kept walking down towards Giovanni's office. Ebon kicked open his father's door's "YOU BASTARD, WHERE ARE YOU HIDING" Ebon shouted as he frantically searched for his father "well if you calmed down you will see im over here" Giovanni stated as he sat in his chair and took a sip of his wine "I take it the mission was a success since you're here" Giovanni questioned while he kept his eyes on his desk reviewing over the papers. Ebon stormed towards his desk and sent his papers flying off his desk and glared into his eyes" YOU BASTARD…why….YOU HAD ANOTHER SON" Ebon roared while Giovanni slowly looked up and simply stood up "yes its true I had another son so-" "WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER? DID YOU EVEN LOVE HER?"- "GROW UP BOY DON'T BE A FOOL… listen I wanted your mother to understand but she was to stubborn SHE FORCED MY HAND…don't make the same mistake" Giovanni warned. Ebon stared in shock as he slowly stepped back. Giovanni walked around the desk and stared straight into Ebon's eyes stopping him in his tracks "y…you killed my mother?" Ebon questioned in a weak and shaky voice "DON'T BE STUPID BOY. You're missing the big picture I am on the verge of limitless power we can live like kings, I was trying to explain this to your mother but she was to stubborn so…yes I had to cut her out of the picture so I can show you what you were truly capable of and look at what you have become, your practically unstoppable you're the perfect killing machine MY killing machine" Giovanni explained. Ebon felt sick to his stomach and his heart broke as he thought of what his mother would have thought of him now "you… made me a monster…you killed my mother… I will kill you, you bastard but not here…this place is crawling with soldiers" Ebon thought to himself as he clenched his fist "well I do love power and these where the best years of my life… what the hell lets take over this world" Ebon lied as he stared into his father's eyes "Excellent, that's my boy. Now let's get to business, come well take my private helicopter" Giovanni stated excitedly

Ebon sat patiently in the passenger seat of the chopper while Giovanni flew the helicopter towards some snowy mountains "so where are we headed anyway?" Ebon questioned as he stared into the snowy mountain "we are headed to Anistar city this is the fastest way there" Giovanni shouted over the motor as he took the chopper over the mountain. Giovanni reached the mountain and set the helicopter on auto pilot hovering over the peak "look at this view. its simply amazing isn't it son" Giovanni questioned as he stood up and looked out towards the snowy mountains Ebon stood up and stared with his father "oh by the way boy…did you tell anyone else about your discovery?" Giovanni questioned as he turned his back towards Ebon "no I didn't. I went straight to you" Ebon answered. Giovanni smiled softly "good boy" Giovanni said softly as he turned around and pointed a gun at Ebon's face "wh-what are you doing?" Ebon questioned as he attempted to step back but felt the back of his foot reach the ledge "you truly did have the making to be the best but you know too much and that knowledge could ruin me and I won't go down because of you or that bastard Ash" Giovanni explained as he loaded the pistol and took Aim "YOU BASTARD Ill KILL YOU. YOU MADE ME SLAUGHTER INNOCENTS AND YOU KILLED MY MOTH-*BANG*"Ebon shouted but was cut off when Giovanni shot Ebon in the shoulder sending him plummeting down the mountain into the snow. Giovanni stood over the edge of the helicopter and fired at Ebon a few more times hitting him once in the knee and arm then the chest "you will die by blood loss or you will freeze to death either way my power is secured" Giovanni said to himself as he took control of the chopper and flew away. Ebon laid in the snow feeling himself lose consciousness while and image of his mother appeared "i…im sorry mom…im so sorry mom…id be lying if I said if I was gonna see you…but…we both know where im heading and I deserve it…I love you mom…and I …. I hope you can forgive me someday" Ebon whispered to himself as he closed his eyes and accepted death's cold embrace

Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie where riding two Mamoswine up the snowy mountain "Come on Clemont were almost there" Ash shouted over his shoulder while Serena also looked back to see Clemont and Bonnie far behind "THIS ISNT A RACE YOU TWO" Clemont shouted as he nervously guided the Mamoswine up the mountain. The Mamoswine instantly stopped in their tracks and looked towards the west smelling fresh blood in the air and they took off towards the source "WHOOAAWHOOAA WHAT ARE THEY DOING?" Clemont shouted while everyone held on for their life "I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK THEY FOUND SOMETHING IMPORTANT "Serena shouted as she wrapped her arms around ash making sure to hold on "WHOOHOO THIS IS SO MUCH FUN AND WAY TO GO SERENA" Bonnie shouted as she winked towards Serena making her face burn bright red. The Mamoswine sniffed up and down the mountain until they came to a halt "I think they found something" Ash stated as he hoped off and noticed the red stained snow. Ash quickly started digging into the snow with Pikachu while Serena, Clemont and Bonnie joined Ash "come on guys were almost there " Ash shouted but stopped when they finally saw what was under the snow "ITS HIM" they all said simultaneously "Clemont noticed Ebon's injuries and quickly covered Bonnie's eyes. Pikachu quickly charged up its electricity and gave a powerful wake up shock but nothing happened. Clemont slowly placed his finger on Ebon's neck and felt a light pulse "he needs a Pokémon center fast" Clemont stated as he covered his little sister's eyes "HEY HEY I WANT TO SEE" Bonnie whined in which Serena took Bonnie aside and Ash and Clemont threw Ebon onto the Mamoswine. Serena made sure Ebon didn't fall off of the Mamoswine while Ash guided the Mamoswine down the mountain, Serena stared at Ebon and noticed that him and Ash shared the same facial features. They both had the same chin, and eyes however their noses where different and Ebon was a lighter skin tone then Ash.

Once Ash and the gang made it to the city they noticed a Pokémon center down the road "Serena, Bonnie you two get nurse joy tell her that this man needs her help immediately "Ash ordered while him, Clemont, and Pikachu put pressure on some of his wounds. Serena and Bonnie ran towards the Pokémon center and informed nurse joy of their situation "oh dear ill be there right away please watch over the Pokémon while I go get your friends "Nurse Joy pleaded as she grabbed a gurney and took off towards Ash and the others. Serena and Bonnie sighed in relief and sat down to catch their breath "hey bonnie did you notice anything familiar with that man…doesn't he look like someone we know?" Serena questioned as she sat with Bonnie. "well now that you mentioned it he kind of looks like an older Ash" Bonnie admitted, Serena looked out towards the window and held her hand to her chest "I hope Ash is safe" Serena thought as she noticed a storm coming in.

Nurse joy, Ash and Clemont burst through the door wheeling Ebon through "you two stay back here ill do my best to help your friend but it doesn't look good" Nurse joy shouted over her shoulder while she disappeared into the emergency room "so what do we do now?" Bonnie questioned as she stood next to Clemont and noticed his jumpsuit had some red stains on it "we do what nurse joy says. We wait" Ash answered as he sat next to Serena his hand brushing against Serena's making her face burn bright red "h..his hand is touching mine" Serena thought as she attempted not to freak out.

After the storm cleared nurse joy checked on Ebon "this isn't good if he doesn't get a blood transfusion he wont make it" she thought to herself. Nurse joy came out of the emergency room and informed Ash and the group about their friend's situation "oh no is it that bad" Serena questioned as she covered her mouth " I already ran some test so we can have one of you donate blood but unfortunately your friend's blood type is rare, its AB negative and only 1 % carry that blood unless they're related" nurse Joy informed as she wiped her hands clean "well why don't you check us? maybe we might carry it " Ash asked as he stood up ready. Nurse joy smiled " I guess it wont hurt… ok lets give it a go" Nurse joy stated as she go out her tools and ran test on Clemont, Serena, and then Ash. Serena and Clemont both came up negative and as nurse joy attempted to get a sample from Ash he began to panic in which Serena and Clemont had to hold him down "WAIT WAIT I CHANGE MY MIND IM PROBABLY NOT EVEN A MATCH" Ash begged as he tried to get lose not paying attention how close his face was to Serena's. Serena's face burned bright red as her lips was just inches away from his "ASH LOOK AT ME… you will be fine" Serena reassured as she squeezed his hand comforting him. Ash nodded his head in agreement and held onto Serena's hand tightly and closed his eyes as nurse joy extracted blood from his arm. Nurse joy took the vile and began to run some test and surprisingly Ash had the same blood type "oh thank goodness I can make quarts from this single vile *BEEP BEEP*…wait whats this?" Nurse joy stated but her attention was brought back to the monitor. The monitor revealed that Ash and the man not only had the same blood type but they were related, their DNA sequence was the match similar to two siblings "i…I have to inform them" Nurse Joy thought to herself as she hurried out of the lab.

Ash and everyone else sat in the waiting room of the Pokémon center waiting for the news, Serena used this time to speak with Ash alone "Ash…can I ask you something" Serena questioned as she scooted closer to Ash. Ash looked up and smiled "sure Serena what's on your mind?" "well umm…what do you think about the man we brought in?" Serena questioned which caused Ash to sit up straight "well at first I thought he was one of team rocket but I saw something in his eyes almost as if he was conflicted and confused. he could have easily killed us but he didn't I know its crazy but when I saw him it felt like I was looking in the mirror" Ash confessed as he looks down at his feet. Serena placed her hand on his shoulder and Ash slowly looked up and smiled brightly which caused Serena to slightly blush. "he will make a full recovery "nurse joy informed causing everyone to huddle around her "he is resting up now but Ash why didn't you tell me he was your brother" nurse Joy questioned which caused everyone to stare in shock "I..i don't have a brother" Ash answered " well according to the blood test you two are a perfect candidates for siblings, you obviously have different mother's however you two share the same father" nurse Joy revealed which Ash had to sit down due to the shock "i…have a big brother…I have an older brother" ash repeated to himself as he ran his hand through his hair. Pikachu look worried as his partner began to act hysterical, Pikachu slowly made his way to Ash's feet and charge up its electricity "PIIIIIIIKAAAAAACHUUUUU" Pikachu shouted as he sent a powerful thunderbolt towards Ash knocking him on his back and shocking him out of his hysteria *cough cough* THANKS Pikachu I needed that" ash spoke to himself weakly.

Ebon slowly opened his eyes blinding himself with an intruding bright light "argh….what…no…WHERE the hell am I" Ebon questioned as his eyes began to adjust to the blinding light . Ebon summoned all his strength and lifted himself off the gurney and clung to the wall as pain shot up from his left knee "HOLY SHIT" Ebon shouted as he hoped on his right foot and noticed not only was his knee bandage but he was also naked. "the real problem is I don't know which situation to fix first" Ebon quipped to himself as he located a towel and a pair of crutches. "well…aint no time like the present" Ebon said to himself as he limped out of the room and searched down the hall "as much as I love walking in the nude I need some clothes fast" Ebon thought to himself

Serena sat next to Ash as she dusted him off and gave him a cup of her water "here drink this it will make you feel better" Serena stated as she offered Ash her water and watch as he gulped down the drink "how are you feeling?" Serena questioned "How am I Feeling? Oh I don't know apparently I have an older brother that I didn't know about, for as long as I can remember I always felt alone without a father and this guy most likely knows who our dad is and lived with a complete family" Ash vented as he looked down and sighed in defeat. Serena felt Ash's pain in his voice and slowly attempted to touch Ash's hand "WHERE IS HE" a woman's voice shouted which caused Ash to jump and face the direction of the voice and Serena to sigh in Defeat "ah man… I was so close" Serena thought to herself as she stood next to Ash to face the direction of the voice "Officer jenny? " Ash shouted which caused Officer Jenny who was dressed in her regular police uniform with her hair in a ponytail to turn her attention to the group "have you seen this man? "Officer jenny asked as she showed them a wanted picture of Ebon" this man is wanted for countless crimes and just recently he stole my cycle during a festival" Officer Jenny pointed out. Ash slowly read the man's name "Ebon…my brother's name is Ebon" Ash thought to himself.

Ebon slowly limped his way into the main lobby "THERE YOU ARE" Officer Jenny shouted as she stomped towards him "OH CRAP ITS YOU" Ebon shouted as he tried to get away only to have Officer jenny's rope wrap around his legs and tripped him over." WHERE IS MY CYCLE YOU PUNK" Officer jenny shouted as she quickly seized the opportunity and tied Ebon's hand behind his back "WHOA WHOA….damn i can see you're the kinky type *SMACK* OW OK IM SORRY" Ebon teased while Officer Jenny lifted him up on his feet "WAIT LADY HOLD ON " Ebon pleaded but it was too late when his towel came undone. Nurse Joy quickly covered Ash's eyes while he quickly covered Serena's eyes and Clemont did the same with Bonnie, Officer Jenny felt her face burn red while her eye twitch. she quickly cut him loose "COVER YOURSELF UP YOU PERV" Officer Jenny ordered as she felt her face regain its natural color "YOU CALLING ME A PERV? AT LEAST IM NOT WALKING AROUND WITH THAT DAMN SEX WHIP" Ebon shouted back only to get a knee rammed into his groin causing him to collapse and roll around in pain. Ash slowly walked up to Ebon with an embarrassed look on his face, Ebon slowly got up and noticed Ash was staring at him "its that kid…my little brother. Was he the one who found me?" Ebon thought as Ash walked up and stood in front of him. Ash tried to think of something anything to say to Ebon "i…we. Umm" Ash struggled causing him to stutter which Serena noticed and walked to his side and pushed her own insecurities aside and grabbed Ash's hand giving it a reassuring squeeze "its ok Ash I'm here for you" Serena whispered and smiled at Ash. Ash smiled and looked Ebon straight into his eyes "My name is Ash Ketchum and…your my brother" Ash stated as he looked up at his older brother not breaking his stare. Ebon stared down towards Ash and sighed as he ran his hand through his hair "Listen kid…I mean Ash…can we talk about this later, you know when im not standing here naked" Ebon asked as he limped to a bench and rested his knee. Ash fallowed Ebon and sat next to him both staring off into the distance trying to think of something to say. Pikachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder and sat in front of Ash and Ebon looking up at the two taking in how much they look the same" Pika Pi" Pikachu whispered as he jumped up onto Ebon's lap. "thanks by the way" Ebon thanked as he kept staring off into the distance scratching behind Pikachu's ear making him squeal in pleasure. Ash nodded his head and sat awkwardly next to his newly discovered brother "how bad was I when you found me?" Ebon questioned "well you were shot multiple times once in your knee and chest plus you lost a ton of blood, oh and when we found your body you where freezing to death" Ash listed while Ebon slowly started to remember what happened and how he got there "now its my turn to ask you the questions" Ash informed as he sat up straight while Ebon looked into his little brother's eyes "go ahead kid "Ebon stated as Ash took in a deep breath " you grew up with a mother and a father… I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous …I always wonder what it might have been if I had a family…so how was it? Growing up with a complete family" Ash questioned as he tried not to let his emotions get the better of him "Listen kid I didn't have a family… my mother raised me for nine years until…she was burned alive…and then our "father" brought me in and trained me under Team Rocket to become a killer, he blinded me into thinking I was making a difference I thought I was killing the people responsible for my mother's death but it turned out it was our father who was responsible for her death…he took her from me…he made me a monster" Ebon confessed as he stared up his black tribal tattoo that ran up his right forearm and felt guilt in his heart "you should have left me for dead Ash im a monster who deserved what he had coming to him…and don't try to look for our father he wont accept you…im sorry you grew up thinking you had nothing but you do have a mother who loves you…while mine on the other hand is probably ashamed of me" Ebon slowly put his hand on Ash's shoulder and turned to look Ash in his eyes and smiled softly towards him and Ash looked in shock as he saw as he saw Ebon's red watery eyes "your wrong. your not a monster Ebon, the man who pulled a gun on me could have killed me but I saw confliction in your eyes. our father may have tried to corrupt you but in that moment you fought back your instinct and choose not to" Ash argued which caused Ebon to start to chuckle as he slowly wiped away the tears "your such a kid Ash hehe" Ebon chuckled while Ash punched his shoulder which caused Ebon to curse in pain. A few feet away Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, Nurse Joy, and officer jenny smiled as they watched the two brothers connect with one another. "Jenny do you really have to bring him in? "Nurse Joy questioned as she brought out some old clothes for Ebon "yes I do, it's my job I can't turn back on the oath I took "officer Jenny argued as she crossed her arms. Nurse joy sighed in defeat "well can you at least give the boy one day to spend with his brother" Nurse joy pleaded. Officer Jenny sighed in defeat and nodded in agreement. Nurse joy smiled softly and walked towards the two brothers and handed Ebon the pair of clothes "here you go, we had some clothes that people donated. im sure they will fit and I bet your eager to get out of that towel" Nurse joy offered and Ebon slightly bowed giving his thanks and stood up "I don't know the towel is pretty comfy and Officer Jenny over there seems to like what she is seeing" Ebon teased loudly as he winked towards officer Jenny causing her to blush heavily and quickly turn her back towards Ebon while everyone else laughed and giggled.

Ebon stepped out of the restroom with his new acquired clothes and smiled as he looked himself up and down the mirror. Ebon was given a pair of sneakers dark blue jeans a white T-shirt and a denim vest that was slightly torn "not bad. The punk look looks pretty good on me" Ebon quipped as he stepped out to reveal himself to the rest of the group. Everyone stared in shock as he slowly limped his way towards them "wow you look great" Serena informed excitedly "YEAH you look like a Pokémon trainer" Ash shouted excitedly "yes your attire is a great improvement from your towel" Clemont teased in which Bonnie jumped up and down excitedly "yeah you look really handsome now" Bonnie giggled as she smiled brightly "thanks guys… what do you think officer jenny" Ebon teased as he playfully winked towards her causing her to slightly blush "i..i think you look like a criminal" Officer Jenny stated as she turned on her heel and marched towards Nurse joy. Ebon sat with Ash and the rest of the group and Nurse Joy gave Ebon some special medicine to help his knee heal faster. Ebon sat with Ash swapping stories while Officer Jenny stared towards Ebon and frowned "admit it, you think he is kinda cute" Nurse joy whispered which caused Officer Jenny to jump and glare at Nurse joy with a deep red blush across her face "WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU JOY… let me explain this for you, he is a criminal ,I am an officer, he broke the law and I am supposed to bring him in. I mean for god sake Joy he killed innocent people" Officer Jenny explained. Nurse Joy just smiled softly and looked towards Ebon as he playfully teased Ash in front of Serena making him blush slightly causing everyone to burst out laughing "look at him. Does he look like a heartless killer? You heard him, his father used him he blinded him with lies and made him his puppet. Poor Ebon thought he was avenging his mother's death and you heard him he feels like a monster" Nurse Joy informed as Officer Jenny looked at Ebon and felt her heart ache for him "I know joy…look I can take what he said as a confession and get him a plea bargain under the circumstances of manipulation…I will do anything I can for him" Officer Jenny stated as she sighed in defeat and glared towards the smiling Nurse Joy "what are you smiling at now Joy " Officer Jenny questioned "oh nothing…hehe its just… you like him so much its so obvious" Nurse Joy teased while Officer Jenny growled in frustration

Ash, Serena, and Clemont introduced Ebon to their Pokémon. Ash and Ebon both discovered that they had a few things in common Ash on one hand loves a good Pokémon battle while Ebon loves a good ole sparring session and most importantly they love to eat. Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie watch in horror as Ebon, Ash and Pikachu devoured their food in mere seconds. Ash and Ebon looked up from their plates and noticed their friends shocked faces and then looked at each other and noticed their cheeks filled with food and giggled as they went back to eating. Ash never felt happier in his life he never could have grasped how good it felt to have an older brother he felt at peace. Ebon always felt alone his father was distant all the time and his mentors and "friends" tried to kill him constantly in order to bring out his best but now with Ash he felt at peace and he promised himself he will never let anything hurt his newly discovered little brother. The day quickly came to an end and Officer Jenny made her way towards Ebon and the group "I am truly sorry to inform you but I have to bring in Ebon for the crimes he has committed" Officer Jenny revealed as she handcuffed Ebon and stood him up. Everyone stared in shock in which Ash jumped up "NO I WONT LET YOU…for once in my life I know what it feels like to have more than a mother…to have a family. I may not have a father but now I have a brother AND I WONT LET YOU TAKE HIM" "PIKA PI PKA" Ash and Pikachu shouted as they both blocked the exit. Officer Jenny was about to speak but was cut off by Ebon. He gave Officer jenny a pleading look and she nodded softly, Ebon slowly walked towards Ash and got on his knee "ASH THAT'S ENOUGH… listen I wish I could spend more time with you I really do but I made mistakes and I have to be responsible and pay for them… it wouldn't be right if I ran away from it" Ebon explained to Ash as he watch tears run down Ash's face. Ash quickly wrapped his arms around Ebon's neck and quietly sobbed into his shoulder " me you wont forget me…please" Ash begged. Ebon slowly felt the tears began to form in his eyes and shut his eyes tight "I wont. I promise after I serve out my punishment I will find you" Ebon promised as he lightly kissed Ash on the top of his head and smiled softly "you take care of him for me ok. Im…im trusting you Pikachu" Ebon stated as he stood back on his feet while Pikachu jumped back on Ash's shoulder and nodded in agreement. Ash wiped away his tears and quickly ran out the back door with Serena, Clemont and Bonnie fallowing behind him "ASH WAIT" Serena shouted as she wiped away her own tears. Officer Jenny sighed "come on lets get moving…we will take my new cycle…it has a side car" she ordered as she guided Ebon out of the Pokémon center feeling guilty. Ebon slowly walked out towards the front of the Pokémon center "Be safe little brother" Ebon whispered to himself as he thought of Ash
