Peace to you. I'm back with the newest chapter guys. I had so much of fun writing it! This chapter is by far the best in my opinion. Don't forget to review to tell what you think. Even a single review can motivate me drastically to update quicker and better! Let me tell you something. I was able to update this chapter comparatively this fast because of a certain PM, which encouraged me a lot and a lot and... A LOT!

"Mr. Ash Ketchum, we've arranged a special place for you. Please come with us."
'...'
'They're here!.'
'They are finally here.'
'Did I not see this coming?'
'Of course I did.'
'Did I not know that the time for my deserved punishment was knocking at the door?'
'Of course I knew.'
'Then why am I feeling so... Afraid? Did I not know that after what I did, they would personally make sure that I go to hell?'
'I guess, in the end, no matter how strong hearted a person is, no matter how bold and brave a person could be, he or she will have to fear death.'
'Death.'
'Who knew that this five letter word could be so terrifying.'
'I have to ge...'
"Mr. Ketchum. Your time is up. Now, if you would follow me then I'll take you to the vehicle."
"What's your name, girl?"
"My name? It's Rowena, Sir. Rowena Sitan."
"Ms. Rowena Sitan... What do you think of me?"
"Sorry, Sir?"
"What-Do-You-Think-Of-Me?" Ash asked the black haired girl with a slight curiosity in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Sir. It's totally forbidden for me to talk with you anything unofficial. Please Sir, we must go n..."
"And may I know why?"
"It's the rule of Pokemon Department of Justice, Sir. Rule 34, section-2: 'The officials must not speak with any prisoner about anything unofficial."
"I see. Do what you wish. Where do you want to take me by the way? Or is it also another... Unofficial question."
Rowena chuckled a little. This man certainly was totally different from the others she took with her in the past. This man knew exactly where he is to be taken. And still... He didn't look worried a bit where any normal person would've screamed like hell for what was going to happen to them.
"It's not an unofficial question Sir. But it's unfortunately, not a legitimate question. Surely you know that according to Rule 28, sect..."
"Okay okay. I understand. Please don't mention the rules again. I take it that you memorized all one hundred and eighty of them."
This time Rowena actually smiled a little. "No Sir. I only know one seventy eight."
"Hmm... What a pity! Lead the way."
"Yes Sir."
"How much longer, Ms. Rowena?" Ash asked in an emotionless tone.
"We're almost here, Sir. It's just over that hill. Won't take more than 10 minutes."
"Hmm... I still wonder why in the world they decided to take me there to execute the order. You guys could've done it in PokeFreaks, couldn't you?"
Rowena Sitan didn't say a word. She knew this particular person for very long and she also knew that she should definitely not fall into one of his talking traps.
"So... You wanna stay silent, eh? Oh well, what can I do? It's not like I can just kill you, take on the two armed girds in the front seat and run for my dear life, can I?"
Rowena just shrugged a little. Pretending to just stay the way she was.
On the other hand, Ash was in deep thoughts about something. Just an hour ago, when he was being taken away from the PokeFreaks, all the prisoners looked into his eyes at once. So sharp those stares were. He would never forget those eyes. As if they were telling him to stay strong and never cower in fear.
And when he said goodbye to Giovanni, his roommate, the man said something that shocked every part of his body.
'Ash... my lad. I'm sorry... For everything I put you through once upon a time.'
Not only the mentioning of his nick name but also the begging for forgiveness. Ash was so stunned that he couldn't even mutter a word. Merely shaking his head, the dumbfounded Ash left his cell. On the way... To his long undeniable destiny.
"Sir, we're here. Please get off the car and follow me." Rowena gently said.
The two guards already had gotten out of the vehicle, The Pajero. The black car was very beautiful looking and very expensive. Not to mention bulletproof.
Ash decided to play a little before entering that large white building in front of him. Why shouldn't he enjoy what little bit of time was left.
"Do I have to go Rowen-chan? I don't want to go there. I wanna talk with you." Ash said in a childish tone.
"W-What are you saying Sir?" A very very shocked Rowena could be seen.
"Aww. You are so adorable, Rowen-chan. Why can't we be friends? And what's with the... Sir? We've known each other for at least two hours, haven't we? Surely you can call me Ash-kun, right?" With a giggling tone Ash talked again.
For no reason at all, Rowena started to sweat like crazy. Sweat was coming out of every part of her body. The most amazing thing was she didn't even know why in the world was she suddenly getting so scared of the man sitting in the backseat of the car. It's not like he's gonna suddenly attack her, right? R-Right?
"Mr. Ketchum, Please get off the car. I'll have to use force i-if you don't. P-Please get o-off..."
Suddenly Ash's voice changed. With a dark, deep and husky voice he asked, "Ms. Rowena, why are you getting so afraid of me all of a sudden?"
"S-Sir, I didn't mean any..."
"Is there something on my face, Rowena? Which is making you... scared of me?"
"Sir, I really didn't..."
"Now do you understand why had I been given the capital punishment Rowena? Every sane person in this world is afraid of people like me." Ash's voice returned to normal and with a little smile he casually asked the question while getting out of the car.
Rowena did not return the smile. She didn't even dare to look at him. She didn't even dare to look at those auburn eyes of his which showed nothing but sympathy for... Everything.
"Let's not make them wait any longer, okay Rowena? I'm sure they are all looking forward to seeing my lifeless body after it's done, Ha Ha Ha."
In an almost faint tone she replied, "This way Sir."
And so, Ash was being led to his final destination. The place where his soul was going to travel to another world. Where we, the living, do not have the permission to enter.
Ash chuckled a little from the bottom of his heart, thinking,'This is it, Ash. Get ready. Soon... You are going to face your ultimate fate... Your undeniable fate... Your destined fate... but moreover... Your... Cruel Fate.'
That'll be all. I'm glad that I was able to update faster than usual. Please Read and Review. Once again, even your single review can help me out superbly! Please take care of yourself. Yes! I'm directly talking to you man! Sayonara!
