Well here's the next chapter, I'm still ill, so I can't really get into writing, but I don't wanna make you guys wait a month for the chapter. Again. So if this chapter isn't very good, then I'm terribly sorry and I beg you to forgive me. Please. Any who...

And now onto the story...

Chapter 24

"So Ava". I said as we walked along, Ava being on my shoulder like normal. "What do you think of your new name"?

"I love it daddy". She said, licking my cheek. "And I love you".

"I love you too". I replied.

"Hey". Torrie said suddenly. "Where'd Connor go"?

"Huh". I looked around and noticed he was gone. "For fucks sake. Connor, don't bother".

There was no reply. "He's just hiding trying to scare us". I said.

"No He isn't". Darkrai said, appearing in front of me.

"Wwaahh". I yelled. "Give me some sort of warning next time you... Wait what"?

"He isn't hiding". Darkrai explained. "I sense those Team Rocket people again, the ones that keep appearing. It appears they captured him".

"Fuck". I said. "Fuck, shit, monkey bollocks".

"What do we do"? Sighed Torrie. "It's not like those guys can do much, there just so annoying".

"Darkrai, can you lead us to them"? Eddie asked

"Certainly". He answered. "Follow me".

"Great". I sighed as we followed him.

We walked back the way we came for about five minutes and found a path that led away from the main path. The ground seemed disturbed by foot prints and dragging marks. "This way". Said Darkrai, leading us down the path.

We followed this path for a few more minutes and we came across a large boulder which the path veered around. As we reached the boulder we heard talking.

"Those kids should be here by now". Said a female voice; which could only be Jessie.

"Wobbufet".

"Patience". I heard Xatu say. "I'm sure they'll show up. Oh wait you can't understand me. Damn it".

I put my finger to my lips to signal the others to be quiet and then walked over to Torrie. "I need Kadabra for a moment". I whispered into her ear. She nodded and handed me a pokeball. I took it and signalled for them to all stay where they are.

I edged around the rock until I could see them and saw Connor tied up on the ground, leaned against a tree. I then released Kadabra, signalling for him to be quiet. "You're not Torrie". He whispered.

"You think". I whispered back. "Never mind that. Connor has been taken prisoner by tem rocket, I need you to teleport over there, get hi and teleport back. Understood"?

"Uh huh". He said. He then disappeared and reappeared a moment later with Connor. Connor was unconscious.

"You take him to the others". I whispered. "They're just around the rock".

He nodded and carried Connor away. I smiled and stepped around the rock, a pokeball in hand. "Hello". I said, making Jake jump.

"Come for your friend, have you". He laughed, "Well you aint getting him without a fight".

I smiled and began to laugh. "Phahahahaha. You fucking idiots".

"Huh". Said Jessie. "What are you laughing at"? I pointed to the tree where Connor had been tied up and they turned to it. And they saw he was gone.

"Awe man". Groaned Jake.

I smiled again. "Go Bulbasaur".

"Uh oh". Said, Jessie, Jake and Xatu in unison as Bulbasaur appeared in front of them in a flash of red light.

"Oh". Said Bulbasaur with a mischievous, conniving smile. "It's you again".

"Bulbasaur, vine whip". I yelled, and, as if he knew what to do already, his vines shot straight at them from his bulb and started whipping them all over. Again.

He whipped them all over their bodies; he hit Xatu in the face and sent him flying. He as he whipped Jake he knocked the button on a pokeball and Xatu disappeared in a beam of red light. "(That was lucky)". His other beam hit Jessie in the foot and another smacked her right on her ass. "(That looked intentional. Naaaaa, it's just me)".

"Get em Bulbasaur, whip them until they cry". To someone who saw me, I would have looked like a mad man. Especially the smile.

"Please". Whimpered Jake, who was now on the floor, marks all over his body. "Please stop".

"Bulbasaur". I said. "Send em flying". He nodded and grabbed them both around the waist and threw them. "Well done". I said. "You wanna stay out".

"Na". He said. "Can't be arsed to walk".

"Alright then". I said, pressing the button on his pokeball and he disappeared in a beam of red light. I then put the ball on my belt.

"Interesting". Said a mysterious voice from above me. I looked up and there, stood on the rock was a short man cloaked in black, I could only see his mouth but I could tell he was staring at me. On his chest was the team rocket logo. "You could make it far in team rocket. Why do you fight them"?

"Because, I hate them". I yelled.

"Why though"? He said.

I pointed to my face, then raised my top to show my chest. "What do you think"?

He smiled at me and spoke again. "So. You're Kasper O'Connor. I want to ask how it's their fault. In case you forgot, you meddled in their business".

"Well if they weren't so evil then I wouldn't have to". I yelled again.

"Well what about all of those that you murdered in cold blood in saffron city". He said calmly. "They did nothing to you". He smiled again.

"Your try 'na get to me". I said. "Well it won't work".

He smiled again. "Good bye Kasper. Maybe we'll see each other again". He turned and grabbed onto a rope behind him and he was flown off by a Dragonite that the rope was attached to.

"That was weird". I said, then realised I was on my own.

"Daddy". Said Espeon, appearing next to me.

"Oh hey Ava". I said, picking her up.

"The others are waiting for you on the road". She said, climbing onto my shoulder. "And Connor is awake".

"Thank god". I said. "Let's go".

We walked; well I walked, back along the path to the road, where I saw Connor sat on the ground, rubbing the back of his head and blinking a lot. The others were stood around him, talking among themselves. "I think he may have a concussion". I said as I got there.

"Are you sure"? Eddie asked.

"Yes". I said. "See how he's blinking a lot, that's a sign".

"How'd you know that"? He asked.

"Well I've had quite a few concussions in my life". I said. "So I know". I walked over to him and his eyes were wondering around lazily and he had a dopey look on his face. "Yep, definitely a concussion. I put my arms under his and pulled him up. "Come on; let's get you to a Pokémon centre". He smiled a dopey smile.

This made me smile and I began to chuckle. I thought it best not to mention the mysterious guy yet. I pulled out the map and checked it and we appeared to only be a short walk away from Vermillion City. "Sweet". I said. "Not far to go now".

I was right about it being a short walk as twenty minutes later we were at the entrance to the city. A few people had challenged us on the way but we declined, explaining that we had to get Connor to the Pokémon Centre.

We made our way, passing buy buildings, shops, houses, ect. And eventually came across the centre. "Hey, Nurse Joy". I said as we entered the Pokémon centre. "We need some help. I think he's concussed". As I said this I pointed to Connor.

"Oh, yes, he does seem to have a concussion". She said, looking him over. "What happened"?

"Dunno". I confessed.

"We managed to get a little out of him". Said Torrie. "He said he was walking behind us when felt something hard hit him on his head, then when he woke up he was tied to a tree".

"Tied to a tree". Gasped Nurse Joy.

"Oh yeah". I said. "Don't worry about that, I dealed with it".

"Well ok". She said. "Let me take him to a room and sort him out".

"Ok". I said. "Thanks. See ya later Connor".

He smiled dopily again.

We had waited about half an hour when Nurse Joy told us we could see him. We went in and he was sat in a bed with a bandage on his head, somehow we had failed to notice he was bleeding.

"So how you feeling"? I asked.

"Great actually". He replied. "These nurses can really work wonders".

"I know exactly what you mean". I said to him. "They heal you up pretty darn fast".

"Mmmmhhhhmmmm". He said.

"Ummm, Mr. O'Connor". Said Nurse Joy, walking into the room. "The police are here, they wanted to have a word with you. Privately".

"Sure". I said. "Lead the way".

She led me out of the room and down the corridor to the lobby. "You can use the office". She told the Police Officers.

"Thank you". Said Officer Jenny. Nurse Joy then led us behind the front desk and through a door into an office. "Here we are". She said; she then left the room.

"What can I do for you officers"? I said.

The officers glanced at each other and shifted slightly. "Maybe you should sit down". Said Officer Jenny. "We have some bad news".

"What"? I asked, get nervous now. "What's happened".

"We are sorry to be the ones to tell you this". He said. "Were afraid your mother, she has been kidnapped".

My eyes widened as she said this. "What". I yelled. "Who, how, why".

"Now we understand you are upset but..."

"You think". I yelled.

"When, what happened"? I asked.

"We discovered earlier today". Said Officer Jenny. "A friend of hers went round your house to see her but there was no answer. She looked through the window and the house was a wreck. She called the police immediately and some officers went around to take a look. Whilst they were there they found a note from the kidnapers". She held up a piece of paper and read out what it said.

"Dear Kasper O'Connor,

We have your mother, and you aren't getting her back, not unless you hand yourself over to us. Meet us at the top of Pokémon tower at midnight on the 13th of October, come alone, and don't bring any Pokémon".

"That is all the note says". Said the other Officer.

"Who was it from"? They glanced at each other again and so I asked again. "Who was it from".

"Team Rocket".

Oooooohhhhhhhh, cliff hanger. Sorry about that, I myself hate cliff hangers, but still. Hopefully this will get you to keep reading and reviewing.

So, what will happen to Kasper and his mother. Keep reading to find out.
