Chapter 3. A metal background
Ash was seating down as he watched the woman Delilah rush around as she cooked up a quick supper and tried to keep Ash from moving with a blanket strapped around him and something glass like in his mouth with some kind of red liquid inside which the woman kept looking at worriedly especially when it reached close to the top of the glass wait is it supposed to do that interested Ash waited till Delilah's back was turned before he pulled the device out it had numbers on it and as he watched slowly the red line went down
'was it supposed to measure something' Ash thought before he felt someone carefully pull it out of his hands and back in his mouth
"You have to keep that in there little mister now then let me see the snake bite hopefully it hasn't swelled" Delilah said ''oh she hadn't noticed the metal during the small fight and probably thought Elektřina had caused the electricity
"Oh that's fine not much can get through this" Ash said raising his arm and showing the metal that know had some scraps on it
"Hmm true enough but your arm could have bruised underneath" Delilah said not noticing the wires sparking
"Huh there isn't one that is my arm" Ash said and he watched as slowly Delilah went from playfully pretending to realization especially when Ash pulled up his sleeve to show where the metal meet the skin and went under it
"Oh well this so surprising what happened to your arm" Delilah said looking over the child for more harm that's when she noticed the odd light that seemed to follow the child's eyes then she stared long and hard when she figured out that the right one was glowing and was causing a bit of a flashlight effect on anything that came close enough
"I've always had them as long as I can remember" Ash said shrugging as he looked around the house it was really big for him any ways and as he looked around more he noticed pictures on the wall of Delilah with several different Pokemon most looking like the pictures were taken in the wild then he noticed something there was water coming from Delilah's eyes was she crying oh no did something hurt her did he hurt her on accident without meaning to or something and jumping back Ash backed up a bit surprising Delilah
"Oh sorry did I hurt you or something if so I'm really sorry I didn't mean to" Ash said but confused Delilah just shook her head
"No you didn't hurt me I'm just sad about what might of happened to your arm and eye" Delilah said but she instantly noticed something off Ash was staring at her
"What's sad is it a emotion I'm still trying to grasp those" Ash asked surprising Delilah how did he not know
"Why don't you know anything about emotions" Delilah asked then she heard a noise as her front door opened
"Delilah you won't believe what the police found in a Team Rocket bas" someone said freezing when they spotted Ash tensed up on the couch with Delilah looking at him in confusion
"Huh Delilah I'd back away slowly" the person said and Ash realized he recognized the man he was one of the people that had came with the police to investigate the Team Rocket base that Ash escaped from
"Oh no we need to escape he might want to experiment on us like team Rocket" Elektřina said causing Ash to tense even more but then both of them froze as Delilah put a soft hand on Ash's knee
"Why he's just a child Professor Oak and besides he's been a great little gentleman while he's been here" Delilah said this caused Ash to blink
'What's a gentleman' and unknowingly Ash turned towards the professor and sent him a confused and pleading look that made the professor smirk somewhat
'Well he does act like a child but what if it is a act and I know from some of the notes I've read he could easily take both me and Delilah out easily but'
"Hmm really now that is interesting I didn't think they would" Oak was saying till he noticed something the kid was staring at him looking him over then he watched as his right eye turned red as a spark flew from his hand and before anyone could make a sound the small bolt hit its mark as a small electronic bug fell of professor Oak's coat
"Heh sorry you had a listening device on you" Harry said breaking out of that little programming while Oak just picked up the bug that had a red R on it
"Well your story might just interest me the more I find" Oak said and smirking Ash decided he liked the old man and shrugging he told them everything he knew how Team Rocket made him although he didn't know how, he told them of the day he met Elektřina and how the two became like brother and sister after sending electrical communication at each other then he had told them of their escape which Elektřina had mostly planned by the end Delilah was frowning angrily at Team Rocket while Professor Oak was just in thought
"Hmm it seems that the papers I got from the base was somewhat incorrect it stated that you had a control node attached to you" Professor Oak said surprising Delilah but Ash just shrugged
"They have to take them off at points so they can either repair them or resize them honestly they're more like control collars" Ash stated shrugging as the two adults gave each other looks at this info
"Wait if he saw that then maybe he" Elektřina said and instantly Ash realized where she was going and instantly turned sharply surprising the two as he stared wide eyed at Professor Oak
"Wait if you know about the collars do you know where the others are" Ash asked hopefully although this caused both humans to pause and stare at him
"Others" Professor Oak almost whispered staring at the highly dangerous being in front of him
"Yeah my brothers and sisters do you know where they are" Ash stated hopefully
~Elsewhere in a unknown location~
We find ourselves looking through what could best be described as a prison with each cell looking different as two team Rocket members passed by one cracking down a metal pole onto the bars causing the blue eyed inhabitant to dive backwards before it watched as they passed as its neighbors did the same that is till the two passed by a darkened cell where the red eyes just glared at them hateful even as one stuck the metal pole in and launched electricity inside making the occupant scream as they laughed before they continued on and stopped at the cell next it which was covered in grass and tree limes but also had flames going up and down the cell bars before they were extinguished and the two men now setting there weapons to fire strolled
"Subject G get out here right now you runt" one of them growled as a pair of brown eyes opened and turned to them with fear as he reluctantly moved towards them
"We've got a mission for you it seems Subject E has managed to escape the boss wants you to track it down and destroy it" the Grunt stated rushing forward with the control collar but quickly Subject G's eyes turned red as a vine went swinging forward only for him to have to jump back as fire engulfed the vine right into the grunt as he clipped the collar on and flames danced inches from his skin
"No no please I don't want to hurt Ash no" G whispered reaching towards the collar but not touching it as the guards walked him out but as they were exiting the red eyes flashed before they turned upwards
"Did you hear that" a deep but kind voice asked
"I did the little munchkin actually managed to escape ha" a female voice stated from above
"Yeah but for how long" another voice stated this one was almost tiny in tone and caused the others in this hell hole to slump
"Oh Ash will survive after all he has been taught by us" red eyes stated smirking as he inched out of the shadows showing a tanned face with scars running across as his red eyes looked around at his fellow inmates
"I hope your right Shadow I hope your right" another silky voice stated before they heard the steps of someone leaving.
~Back at the Ketchum residence~
"Hmm and none of them want to work with team rocket" Professor Oak asked as Ash quickly shook his head
"No they hate the place and they used to keep all of us together but they sent me away to" here Ash shivered
"Upgrade me and get rid of Elektřina so I wouldn't have any form of attachment" Ash stated looking down only to feel arms in circling him and looking up he looked right into the kind brown eyes of mrs. Delilah
"Well if we're going to help you and your siblings you guys are going to need a place to stay" Delilah stated smiling as she wiped away some tears
"Agreed I'm going to need time to crack the rest of the password codes I got from the Rocket base and I might need your help for that" Professor Oak stated and quickly Ash nodded with a glint in his eye as Elektřina appeared on his shoulder once more and nodded as well
"Good well I'll be heading back to my lab if there's anything else you need" Professor Oak was stating before Ash stood
"Wait there is one last thing there probably going to send one of my sibling to kill me and if I had to guess they would send Green he's a Grass type" Ash stated this caused Oak and Delilah to frown
"Well then we have even less time because this is the closest town from where the lab was so more than likely they will try and check out here first hmm I'll keep an eye out for any new people in town" Oak said as he left then Delilah took him upstairs and showed him to the extra room she had which she let Ash keep and as he sat down on the bed he turned towards Elektřina
"So how long do you think there going to be nice to me" Ash asked not knowing as Delilah paused as she was passing the door
"I don't know maybe till they actually see us fight or maybe when they get are full data off of the Rocket files" Elektřina stated which caused Ash to slump
"Yeah probably huh well you got any ideas where we should go next if everything goes wrong" Ash asked shocking Delilah as she leaned closer to the door before promising herself that whatever she learns about this child or his family she would never ever turn them away from her home and nodding she walked away as Elektřina commented that the Sinnoh sounded like a good place but was pretty far
Well what do you guys think and before you ask yes there are several beings like Ash in this world and each has their own typing I have already thought up what most of them look like and how Ash is going to save them so till next time bye
