Chapter 9
Forget Me Not!
Dr. Kathy shook her head in shock, her facial expression was full of sadness as she held her clipboard close to her chest and looked in on her subject, a monster. Why had Giovanni forced her to give Ashley chemical X20?, worst of all, Why did she listen?
She was scared, scared for her life that's why! Giovanni knew Kathy's weak spot, and everyday he brought Kathy down physically and emotionally. It was something Kathy had regretted ever since Ashley left; she should have quit right there, but she didn't.
Suddenly a sound came from Ashley's cage, if it was Ashley at all. Kathy watched as this some-what familiar creature began to wake up. It had a brown and white fur coat. It had gorgeous white feathered wings that were as big as a Pidgeots, and it had an ivory horn like a Rapidashs on its forehead. Last, it had razor sharp black claws on its front paws that Kathy swore could cut through those metal bars like paper.
The beast, known as Ashley in her evolved form, opened her eyes and looked around. She lifted her head and looked around herself, she was lying on some soft blankets, and she was encaged! She was behind bars, and she knew this was one place were she didn't belong!
But if she didn't belong here then where did she belong? Come to think of it, where did she come from?, how did she get here?... who was she?
Ashley tried to get to her feet or paws in this case, but was unsuccessful as she fell back down in a heap. Ashley growled miserably then closed her eyes and resumed to rest. She would solve all her questions later. Dr. Kathy looked down at the sleeping dog, she better not disturb it or god only knows what might happen.
Tell me if anything happens Giovanni's voice echoed in Kathy's head as she walked out of the room.
Maybe this is better left unknown Kathy told herself.
What is my dear? A horribly familiar voice asked.
Kathy gasped in sock to see Giovanni standing before her, his evil grin and cold stare made Kathy cringe. Two Team Rocket members were standing behind him.
~
Mewtwo was flying furiously back and forth releasing his anger in small waves of destruction and aggravated yells. Gary had finally managed to calm Ariana from a crying fit over the absence of Ashley, Gary felt like he was about to break down himself.
How could she be so foolish?' Mewtwo yelled out as he kept flying back and forth.
Mewtwo, relax man.
Mewtwo repeated in an insane but calmly manner.
at that point Mewtwo turned around and gave Gary an enraging look.
How am I suppose to relax when they have Ashley, you don't seem to understand what they can do if they figure out her powers
No, I don't Gary argued back, Sean would tell me but he's not here
At that point Mewtwo did relax and looked around By the way, where is the boy? he asked calmly, as if nothing had ever happened.
Gary felt like face faulting, he sighed Sean went back to the gym to earn his pay as a gym leader Gary explained.
Gary looked down at the sleeping Ariana calmly, he thought Why would they want to take such a sweet little girl like Ariana, or a beautiful, gorgeous teen like Ashley Gary smiled at the thought of Ashley, he liked her, he liked her a lot.
So what do we do? Gary asked.
Mewtwo sighed and looked over towards the front door of the gym from their place on the balcony. His look was full of anger and frustration.
I don't kid, I don't know

Ashley paced in her cage angrily, roaring with every turn. She stopped when two Team Rocket members came prancing in through the lab door. Ashley glared at them; she felt as if she had met them some where before, like on a trail or something.
Well these were the same members that Ashley had tricked so many times, they had heard about this pokemon's capture, and know it was pay back time.
The two members teased and taunted her, while this only enraged Ashley even more she decided to wait it out, they would have to stop soon.
Five minutes
Fifteen minutes
Thirty minutes!
These bungling idiots hadn't stopped making fun of her.
Don't those mangy mongrels have an off button? She thought. Finally she knew she would have to shut them up herself, and she was going to do it the best way she knew how!
Ashley's mighty roar silenced the men and the two screamed and clung to each other in fear.
You fools! stop that this instant! Giovanni yelled.
Giovanni had walked in a few seconds earlier and had seen the whole thing. The two fools stared at the angered beast as Ashley leered at them, her eyes glowed a blood thirsty red.
The two men shivered as they backed away to the door, Dr. Kathy backed up to let the first one pass. The second man decided that he wasn't done yet, and as he stood behind the door, he peeked over and stuck his tongue out at Ashley. Ashley let out another furious roar at the man and he ran away more scared than his partner.
Ashley puffed then continued to pace back and fourth through her cramped cage and let out her rage fly with every mighty roar she did. Her Roar's sounded as mighty as a lions' and her deep threatening growl was just as similar.
Giovanni approached the ravenous beast, Dr. Kathy was standing next to him. Ashley let loose another mighty roar but Giovanni did not seemed at all frightened, not even Kathy, she was more saddened then frightened.
Ashley roared at Giovanni again, expecting him to run in fear, but he didn't; instead Giovanni seemed to grow restless himself. Stop that this instant! Giovanni commanded I know you can speak our language, you are not the first of your kind I have dealt with.
Ashley paced quicker in her cage and growled in anger with each turn; finally she stopped, stared Giovanni in the eye, then demanded Who are you?
Giovanni and Dr. Kathy were shocked, Ashley didn't remember who they were. They remembered their last encounter with Silver, the pokelord, who used to evolve from Ashley. In fact, they remembered it all to well.
~
Flashback
~
Who are you? Giovanni asked.
I am Silver, a Pokelord. Ashley's evolved form isn't quiet developed yet so I have possessed her body until it has, and when it is developed I can assure you it will be a hell of a lot more stronger than me. By 50x at the least! Silver explained.
Ashley's rage has forced me to come out and be controllable because this rage came from the heart. The forced evolutions she could not control so I did as I pleased
Giovanni relaxed a bit and got an idea of his own Why don't you and me become partners_
Silver interrupted him by shaking his head and saying I know what Ashley knows, and more. I would never betray my kind, nor the pokemon. We pokelords are guardians to the pokemon and to each other. I would never help you!

Reality

Giovanni chuckled to himself as he thought Silver wouldn't help me, but maybe'
Giovanni smiled down at the cage pokelord. My friend, who have seemed to forget who you are, I can help you remember
Ashley growled threateningly.
Trust me, that will come all in good time Giovanni stated.
I do not need your help human. With my powers I will become invincible, and I will find out who I am with out your help Ashley argued.
Giovanni shook his head at the pokelord. A wild fire destroys everything in it's path. It will be the same with your powers if you do not learn to control them properly, I can help you do that
Suddenly a strange rush came over Ashley, like deja vu. She remembered a big purple cat and a small girl, no more than six, playing with the cat's tail. She remembered a man in a black suit saying the exact same thing to the cat.
Ashley shook her head to get her senses back together. So do we have a deal? Giovanni sneered.
Ashley gave him a not so certain look How do I know I can trust you? What makes me think that you're going to pull a fast one on me? Ashley remarked.
Giovanni was a little taken back by this remark. I can assure you that I am not pulling your tail. You have no one else to turn to and on the plus side I can make you become invincible.
Ashley turned her head away and thought for a moment, then she heard the door to her cage open. Ashley turned to see Giovanni motioning her to step out of the cage with his hand in a gentlemanly manner.
Ashley pranced out of the cage then gave a big stretch and yawned loudly. She sat, leaned over and gave herself a good scratch.
So, do we have a deal? Giovanni's voice asked; he was holding out his hand.
Ashley looked up to see Giovanni's extended hand. Ashley still wasn't sure, something inside her told her not to trust him, but Ashley placed her paw in Giovanni's hand and the two shook hand and paw in agreement.
Giovanni chuckled evilly, at the same time, Ashley gave him a suspicious look. Giovanni turned and headed towards the door he stated.
she studdered.
Giovanni turned around and looked at her sternly. Give that thing a full check up. I want her in top condition he said, and he left the lab.
Dr. Kathy sighed and looked down at Ashley who was looking up at her.
*
Ashley stood on the examining table as Dr. Kathy checked her eyes, Ashley seemed to pick up on something. You do not fear me, instead you feel sorry for me, why? Ashley asked.
Dr. Kathy dropped her tool to her side and sighed. She smiled at Ashley and stroked her soft fur on the side of her face. Kathy couldn't go on before a tear reached her eye.
Ashley felt saddened by this and surprisingly she leaned over and licked Kathy's cheek in sympathy. Kathy just patted Ashley's soft fur.

Giovanni sat in his office; a man stood before his desk with the same evil look Giovanni had.
I can't take the chance that the girl won't regain her memories, so that is why I have hired you in case my plan back fires. Giovanni explained.
Don't worry sir, I have a prototype up and working, and I am already developing the device for you so it will suit your needs. The man said.
Giovanni thought for a second I can't make the same mistake like last time
I want you to make another one Giovanni ordered.
The same size sir? the man asked.
No, this one should be dramatically smaller, about the size of your fist?
The man chuckled I'm thinking you have another pokemon in mind sir?
Yes Terry, I do. Giovanni turned to face his office window, then he returned his attention back to Terry. Who ever said that cats and dogs can't work together will soon be proved wrong terribly wrong! and both Giovanni and Terry broke out into evil laughter.
~
Kathy walked into Giovanni's bedroom with Ashley at her side, Giovanni sat at his small table near the end of his room. The room itself looked like it could fit a whole house in it, it was that big. Giovanni put down the papers he was looking at and looked up to see Kathy with Ashley.
Ahh! my two favorite girls Giovanni said happily as he stood up.
Instantly Kathy could feel something was coming up, and it wasn't going to be good.
Ashley, Ashley, just the pokemon I wanted to see Giovanni said as he went pack to the table.
Yes, you wanted to see me Ashley stated.
Giovanni said as he picked up two pictures on the table then headed back towards Ashley and Kathy.
Kathy, how is she? he asked the doctor.
In perfect health, sir Kathy sighed.
Good, you are free to go. I wish to talk to Ashley alone Giovanni ordered.
Kathy walked out of the room but not before eying Ashley a warning to be careful. Giovanni stood before Ashley, the pokelord, the most powerful thing on the face of the planet, but Giovanni wasn't going to let her know that.
He did his best to smile a friendly smile down at the pokemon Ashley my dear; since you'll be staying her for a while I decided it's only fair that you earn your keep
Ashley questioned.
Oh, just by doing some small favors and tasks for me Giovanni explained.
Sounds fair enough Ashley sighed.
Giovanni only smiled, then he showed Ashley the two pictures.
Ashley looked at the two pictures, then she looked up at Giovanni What's this? she asked.
I have your first task for you Giovanni said. I want you to fetch me these two you see in those pictures
Ashley examined the the pictures, one was a young girl, the other was a pokemon.
Who are they? Ashley asked.
The girl is named Ariana, the pokemon is named Mewtwo! Giovanni explained.
And you want me to bring them to you? she asked.
Yes, can I trust you that you will not fail me?
You can count on me. I won't let you down, Master
~
MASTER?! Dose Ashley really know what she's saying? What is it that Terry is making for Giovanni? Will Ashley regain her memories back before Giovanni convinces her to do something terribly wrong? And will Mewtwo be able to fight Ashley now that he knows it's her?
Find out next time in chapter 10 Ready or not her she comes! (Title may vary)
