Chapter 12 Dead Memories
They had made it to the Pokemon center they took zero to be check on and riley was taken to get the poison out of his system
a few hours later the professor showed up they had moved zero to a room to rest and riley had all the poison out him and was feeling better
they all wanted to visit zero but he was still asleep 'oh hes still asleep' maya was disappointed 'well he needs his rest maya' 'yeah your right riley lets go do something while we wait'
riley and maya thought of what to do then the professor suggested 'why don't you guys visit zacks old house' 'great idea professor me and riley have been thinking of visiting their'
so riley and maya headed to zacks house but on the way riley started to remember the good times he had their and the bad all the times zack would get mad at him for doing things he was told not to do
and all the fun he had with zack with all their training he really missed zack but before he knew it they had arrived at the house 'where here riley' they looked at the house it was covered in dust
and it could use some clean up 'wow he left this place really dirty' 'yeah he could have cleaned it' they explored the house remembering all the fun zack was maya started to cry a little while looking at some old pictures of zack and her
while riley was out back looking at zacks old workshop area "man its been so long since i was here i miss zack" exploring more of the outside he found zacks grave
it was all dusty i didn't look like it has been visited in a long time riley started dusting it off when he saw more words under zacks name.
Here Lies Zack Q a Great Friend To Pokemon And A great Adopted Son 1997 - 2012.
"zack was adopted!?" then maya came outside looking for riley 'hay riley where are you' she then walked out back to see riley at zack's grave 'oh there you are what are you looking at' she looked at zacks
'oh your looking at zacks grave' she said saddly 'wait' she bend over to look at the words under zacks name 'zack was adopted did you know that riley!?'
'no i didn't i just found out too' 'wow i thought the professor was his dad all this time' 'did zack know he was adopted?' 'i don't think so' 'ok riley how about we head back to the Pokemon center to check on zero'
'yeah sure maya' so they headed back to the Pokemon center wondering if zero was awake on the way their riley started thinking "wait if zack was adopted did the professor even care about him all he really care's about was his work
and it looks like he does not even visit zacks grave and about his work he just tested on me and zack without even asking he just tricked him into flipping that switch that ended up in zack dying in the end and who are his real parents uhh i have so many questions"
after all that thinking he didn't realized that he walked into the Pokemon center 'riley you ok the spaced out' 'what yeah im fine lets go see zero'.
they walked to zero's room he was awake but he was talking with the professor and the door was locked the only way riley could see in the room was the small window the door had
then maya started knocking on the door 'hay can we come in' they stopped talking and the professor opened the door for them 'oh sure come on in maya riley why don't you stay out here foe a moment' 'why?' 'zero said he doesn't want to see you right now'
zero then turned his head to the door 'i didn't say that professor i want to see riley' 'no i say he should stay out there for just a few minutes' 'no send him in why don't you want him in here' the professor started getting annoyed 'fine riley come on in' the professor moved letting maya and riley in "why didn't he want me in here what a jerk" riley thought to himself
'so zero how are you feeling' 'oh im fine' 'that's good' riley sat down on one of the chairs and maya sat on the end of zero's bed maya then said 'hay professor we visited zacks grave while we were at his house' just as maya said that riley sensed a feeling of anger coming from the professor
and a sense of sadness coming from zero 'oh did you that's nice want some water' 'oh sure' 'riley you too' riley nodded they both started drinking the water 'oh by the way zack was adopted?' after she said that the anger from the professor grew larger and their was also some sadness there too and the sadness from zero was gone instead it was taken over with shock 'wait zack was adopted' zero muttered out
'how did you know that maya' 'oh it was on zacks tombstone' now the emotions coming from zero were all tangled up full of confusion anger sadness happiness and shock
"whats with his emotions" riley thought to himself 'do you know who his real parents were professor' 'yes they died a long time ago' while he looked at zero zero though was looking straight down his emotion were going crazy but the one that had most control of zero was sadness 'so his parents died then you adopted him'
just as zero stopped talking the door was kicked in it was G and the two poachers the two poachers immediately pointed there guns at riley and maya "what the hell what is he doing here" riley then stood up really fast
'G what are you doing here' Riley growled 'im here for the runt' G then walked past the professor and to zero's bed 'Wait!' the professor yelled 'what about our deal'
'our deal is over you said you deliver riley to us and you failed so im taking zero' 'wait hes right there take him he has no way to escape'
'professor you told G you give him Riley but hes my Pokemon and was also zack's' 'you bastard' 'let me explain i told G i give him riley in order to protect my research' 'what research' 'its me right' Zero said with his stare looking at the professor 'yes zero your too good a test subject for me to let them take you'
'and that's also why i drugged there water before they drank it' 'what' suddenly maya passed out 'You Baster..' then riley passed out 'riley maya!' zero was shocked 'hmm looks like you did deliver good job professor' 'yes now take them and leave' 'my pleasure you idiots pick them up and move them to the truck' the two poachers picked up maya and riley and carried them out of the room
'good bye professor good bye zero have a nice day' after that G left.
