Chapter 9
Castelia City warehouse district
Jason grunts into his gag as X lands in front of an abandoned warehouse that looked as though it was falling apart as Jason looks at the warehouse he notes a number 16 on the side of the building. Seymour pulls him off of X's back and pushes him into the warehouse and into an office where Jason is pushed onto an old mattress where Seymour ties his ankles and leaves the room with Jason trying to get comfortable with his training pants being wet, cold and uncomfortable after four hours of flying at speeds faster than a plane he looks out the window to see X taking off and into the distance.
Unknown to anyone else a Rattata saw what had happened and scurried off into the city to find help to free the young boy he saw in trouble, knowing that he had no chance of freeing the boy himself.
A Beartic officer in a blue HAA uniform by the name of Tobias Iceclaw walks down a busy street in the middle of the Castelia Farmers market on routine patrol on the lookout for trouble while remembering his orders to be on the lookout for a boy with Jason's description and enjoying the crisp chill of the autumn air when a Rattata runs in front of him "Hey where's the fire-type kid?" he asks as a joke when the Rattata stops in front of him, then he notices the Rattata acting very agitated and immediately started to grow concerned "What's wrong?" he asks.
"I saw a human child who is tied up being pushed into an old warehouse by a Scrafty, a Drapion and a Garchomp with an X on its face in the warehouse district" he says quickly.
The look on Tobias's face turned serious "Is this the human child that you saw?" he asks, pulling out a Photo of Jason.
"Yeah, that's him and my name is Clyde Hardtooth by the way" he says, pacing back and forth with a panicked look on his face.
"Look Clyde I need you to calm down, panicking like this won't help anyone, now I need you to show me where you saw this kid and in a hurry, every second counts" he says, trying to calm the excited Rattata down.
Clyde nods and runs off to the warehouse district with Tobias following close behind, as they approached warehouse 16 Tobias pressed himself against a wall next to the entrance and peeks inside and watches Mike and Seymour playing a card game on an old wooden spool "I see the Scrafty and Drapion but I don't see the kid or this Garchomp, I need to call for backup" he moves away from the entrance and hides on the side of the warehouse and picks up his radio "Dispatch this is officer Tobias Iceclaw I need backup to Warehouse 16 in the abandoned section of the warehouse district, I believe I have a solid lead on the human child that was reported missing" he says, listening for a response.
"Roger that Officer Iceclaw we are sending two officers to assist you, please monitor the situation until backup arrives"
"10-4 Dispatch" he says, hanging up his radio and peeking around the corner to monitor the entrance "Listen Clyde I want you to stay close and out of site, we are going to need a statement from you later and I don't want you to get in the way when things start getting serious" he says while continuing to monitor the front entrance to the warehouse.
"Yes sir I understand officer" Clyde says and lays on the ground to make himself harder to see.
30 minutes later as the sun begins to set
Two officers in HAA police uniforms approach Tobias and Clyde, the first is a Luxray called Jackson Voltaire and a Bisharp named Brian Steelblade, Tobias turns to them and smiles at them, relieved to have back-up.
"Tobias how did you get this lead?" Brian asks, stopping in front of Tobias and Clyde.
"I got my lead from this Rattata, he told me he saw this human child was tied up and being foced into this warehouse, I followed and checked the situation out and there is a Scrafty and a Drapion inside but I don't see the Garchomp that he talked about and I am confident that the child is here but I don't know where exactly so Jackson can you use your powers to see where he is" he says, looking at the Luxray.
"Ok, but I hope you are right about this" he then looks at the building and activates his powers as his yes start glowing, quickly confirming that the child they were looking for is in the building "Okay, he is there in an office upstairs and I saw where the Drapion and Scrafty are but there is no Garchomp in the building so please tell me that you have a plan for this" he says and looks back at Tobias.
"I do, Jackson you will go in first and use thunder wave to paralyze the two inside, then me and Brian will move in and arrest them while you go upstairs and free the child in the office and radio for some squad cars to come and pick them up and an ambulance for the child, we don't know if he is injured, Brian after we make the arrests you go to the entrance and watch for this Garchomp, if it shows up Jackson will come down and watch over the other two while you and I will face off against the Garchomp" he says, addressing the other two. "If you are both ready then lets head over to the door and we can begin"
Jackson and Brian nodded and got into position by the door, Jackson snuck into the warehouse and looks at Mike and Seymour from behind the crates, keeping an ear out for any surprises he may have missed before, he sneaks up to them and uses thunder wave just as planned and Tobias and Brian rush in and arrest Mike and Seymour and start reading them their rights while Jackson moves upstairs.
Jason lays on the mattress and struggles against the ropes holding him as tears fall down his face and get soaked up by the gag, he looks down at his pants to see that he had another accident and his training pants had leaked onto his pants, then he looks over at the door and hears loud banging on the door, being powerless to do anything else he watches the door thinking it is one of his captors coming for him but his eyes widen in surprise when he sees a large Luxray bust down the door and he immediately begins to struggle in panic.
"Relax kid I'm not here to hurt you" he says and pulls out his badge and shows it to Jason who starts to calm down and relax as Jackson unties the rope with his teeth "My name is Officer Jackson Voltaire are you ok?" he asks
Jason takes the gag off his mouth "I'm ok, my name is Jason Collins are you going to take me back to my mom and dad?" he asks.
"Don't worry we will get you back to your parents but first you are going to go to the center to get checked out and cleaned up" Jackson says with a smile, then he radios for some squad cars.
Meanwhile outside of the warehouse
X sits on a nearby cliff and watches what is going on as police cars pull up to the warehouse and officers drag out Mike and Seymour and snorts steam before flying off into the night sky.
Jackson leads Jason out of the warehouse and into an ambulance with a Wigglytuff nurse waiting to take care of him. The Wigglytuff nurse lays Jason on the gurney and straps him in as the ambulance drives off to the Castelia center "Don't worry sweetie, you are safe now and we will take good care of you my name Delia Trueheart but you can call me nurse Trueheart" she says and gently strokes his hair to comfort him, then she puts a pillow behind his head and begins examining him.
20 minutes later at the Castelia center 8:00 PM
Two Primape orderlies carefully unload the gurney and bring it into an examination area followed by Nurse Trueheart, after the orderlies lowered the gurney and unbuckle him Nurse Trueheart helps Jason up and measures his height and checks his weight then she takes him to another area where she helps him to take a bath and giggles when he falls asleep in the bath "he must have been exhausted from everything that happened" after draining the tub she carefully lifts him out and dries him off with a towel before dressing him in a hospital gown "I can't believe we don't have any training pants in his size, I'll have to talk to the supply officer later but I guess this will work for now" she says putting a diaper on him, then she carries him to an unoccupied hospital room and tucks him into bed "goodnight sweetie" she says and kisses his forehead before she leaves the room and closes the door behind her.
Sorry this chapter took so long to put out but writers block continues to be my biggest enemy, credit for the characters of Mike, Seymour and X go to DiscreetMidnight, I didn't write any dialog for them because I didn't feel right writing for someone else's characters without permission but I had to use them or the chapter would not make any sense.
