The Grey Knight: Chapter 1: The Johto League.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, or anything related to it.

In the darkness of Victory Road, a man dressed in all black was lurking. He was armed with a sword, and a pistol. He appeared to be waiting. Flanked by a Lucario and a Raichu, the man kneeled patiently.

Just as the sunrise hit his location, the man instantly sprang into action. He placed his Pokemon back in the Pokeballs, Walking directly up to the castle, known to many as the home of the Johto League, he tried to avoid detection; or at least attention. Receiving weird looks from G-Men agents, in civilian 'uniform', likely from his attire, he walked into the Castle.

Turning to his left, the strange man walked toward what appeared to be a stone cold wall. However, the man knew better than this. Placing his hand on the wall, he saw a code station appear on the wall. But before he could type in the code, he felt a hand touch is shoulder.

Turning around, he was met by a pretty G-Men agent. Knowing her to be Leaf, despite her badge reading Agent Green, he spoke to her with a cold tone.

''Leaf, what do you want?''.

''How to you know my name?'' she asked, equally coldly.

''I know all about the G-Men and those under its employ'' said the Man.

''I could have you arrested for suspicious activity in a Government Building'' she threatened.

''And I could attack you with the gun at my side'' the Man spoke, showing her the slide on his Pistol.

The young woman stepped back slightly in alarm. ''What do you want?'' she whispered.

''I want a meeting with Lance'' the strange Man answered.

''Why, so you can kill him'' she accused him.

''If I were here to kill him, I would have used a Sniper'' he replied in a low voice.

''I can lead you to him'' she said, G-Men training kicking into gear.

''Do not try and stop me Leaf; I am an Aura Master and will destroy you'' he said, and typed in the password. Leaf stepped in front of him, although reluctantly.

The side door opening, Leaf and the Man walked in.

''Walk on ahead, tell him the Grey Knight wants to speak to you; you are in my shooting range'' he instructed her, ending it with a warning. He stayed a few steps behind her.

Leaf walked forward. It was a long corridor, no entrances on either side. No one not in the G-Men was supposed to know about this; it was barely decorated and thus black. At the end was Lance's G-Men Office. Lance was barely in, although he was today. Leaf supposed this wasn't a coincidence. He was smart.

Leaf knocked on the door, and heart an okay to come in.

''Anything you need, Leaf?'' asked Lance, before she could speak.

''The Grey Knight apparently wants to speak to you'' she replied nervously.

She saw Lance freeze, and almost instantly whitened.

''Is he here?'' Lance demanded, almost not wanting to know the answer.

''He has a gun pointed to my head'' she whispered.

Almost straight she was pushed into the left corner, and the Grey Knight came in, and aimed his pistol directly at her. Lance got up, but didn't risk an advance. Leaf slowly raised her hands and placed them on her head, almost out of pure fear.

''Let her go'' demanded Lance.

''Oh, how cliché'' mocked the Grey Knight sarcastically.

''What do you want, Ash'' demanded Lance.

''Ash!'' said Leaf alarmed. What had happened to her childhood friend?

''I want a clearance of your military outside Mt Silver''.

''Why?'' asked Lance.

''It is… unnerving, for the people I protect daily'' replied the Grey Knight, or Ash now.

''The people you protect…'' muttered Lance.

''I want it removed'' demanded Ash again.

''No'' replied Lance, daringly. How did he breach my defences, and take Leaf hostage. She is well trained, and smart.

Ash clicked the safety off the Pistol, for effect, and spoke in a low voice: ''You have one last cha-''.

Leaf turned and swung her leg at Ash pistol. Ash smoothly ducked under it, and used his momentum to pistol whip before she could react. He moved his second arm and put her in headlock; and pushed the gun harshly into the side of Leaf's head.

Lance, whom had begun to advance, instantly stopped.

''I warned you Leaf'' he spoke coldly. He kneed the back of her leg; it would now also be incredibly painful to kick.

''You bastard'' she hissed, squirming furiously, but it had little effect. Lance looked on, helpless. His newest agent had been captured by the enemy in HIS office and he could do nothing.

''Well, Lance, you know where to find me, and you can submit to my demands. In the meantime, I , cannot guarantee her safety, although I promise you I won't kill her… for a while'' Ash said carefully. Before the Champion or the prisoner could react, Ash seemingly teleported.

Location: Mt Silver.

The instant Ash reached Mt Silver, he roughly threw Leaf into the wall. Surprised, she could not react.

''Lucario, hold her in place with Physic, and when I signal drop her into the chair'' commanded Ash, throwing out a Pokeball and pointing to a chair in the corner.

Leaf could not react in her dazed state, and Ash got out some rope. As she came to her sensors, she felt her hands restrained roughly. She was then moved into the chair. She was then tied to the chair at the stomach, thighs and ankles.

''Lucario, stop the Phsyic'' commanded Ash.

''You seem well prepared'' she snarled, struggling against her bonds.

''And you seem helpless'' he countered.

''You could have gotten in and out with teleportation, you had no need to take me Hostage'' she accused, still stinging from the truth of her easy capture.

''I wanted a hostage, and I hoped you would be on duty'' Ash replied.

''Why?'' she asked, confused.

''You make the perfect hostage; you are skilled, intelligent, and a worthy asset to the G-Men'' Ash replied, again.

''You are almost complementing me now'' Leaf said, almost as if she disagreed.

''Why don't you use that intelligence for good use; tell me the codes for the central G-Men hub so I can disable it?'' Ash said.

''That doesn't sound smart to me'' Leaf retorted.

''Don't make me have to electrocute you'' warned Ash, getting his Raichu out.

''Ash, you wouldn't, please'' Leaf almost pleaded.

Surprised by Leaf's begging, he decided she needed a tad incentive.

''Raichu, warning shots'' said Ash, then looking away. Raichu fired a thunderbolt, and although it was weak, it caused Leaf to shudder and hiss in pain. Raichu repeated this, every ten seconds, and this torture began to

''Ash, what happened to you, you used to be carefree and kind, and now, now, you'' she struggled. Raichu was really starting to hurt her.

Noticing this, and in a rare act of mercy on his part, he called off Raichu.

''Thank you'' Leaf whispered, panting furiously.

''I won't need to torture you again, Leaf, and I don't want to, but please, just tell me?'' he asked her.

''I, I'' she stuttered.

''I can wait'' Ash said, and leaned against the wall.

Struggling weakly against her bonds, she attempted to get her hands free. But she couldn't. At least not yet.

''Do you know what the G-Men did to me, Leaf?'' asked Ash.

''No'' replied Leaf, clearly confused.

''Then, I should probably tell you'' he answered. ''That might explain… a few things''.
