Bonjour,Hola and hello Pokémon lovers.Very,very,VERY sorry it's been so long but with school it's taken a while to finish.To top it off my computer was sent off to be up-graded on Tuesday so i'v had to wait a couple of days.Just to avoid confusion about the following part,Ash and co are inside the base and Ash is thinking of the story Adam and Ember told them in the car reveiling what Ash's father was really like. Funny thing,i was looking at my file for some rough work to tidy and put up as part 5 but when i looked. . . .there was none.That means this part will be written with speechmarks and will actually look like a story.Since i'v been back at school i'v to work hard on some very important coursework so the other parts of the story will take a while.But i refuse to be one of those writers who either takes weeks to complete one part or forgets the story all together.Pokéwarriors will be finished and you WILL so the sequels and even my alternate series.And no,Giovanni is NOT Ash's dad.Cool idea though Pikapal and hehe your little 'part' in my stories will be previewed at the end.ENJOY.

POKÉWARRIORS PART 5;THE DARK KETCHUM PAST
"Isn't this place wonderful Ash?"asks Misty,who looking at the huge vast of land that is home to all P.A.T.A agents Pokémon."Yeah,it's like the Safari Zone"Ash replied."But much bigger and has lots of strong Pokémon"Brock added.Adam and Ember can be seen near the a small lake which is Adam's private place for his water Pokémon.He's feeding some small plant Pokémon(Oddish,Paras,etc) which seem to enjoy their food and the attention their trainer is giving them as he smiles at the active bunch."He may have a lousy attitude,but he's great with Pokémon.They seem to bring a much happier side to him"said Misty,turning her gaze back to the Staryu and Starmie swimming across the water surface.Misty was right is saying Pokémon change Adam,they're his biggest strength and yet his weakness."Raising water and plant Pokémon is a lot of work but fire type Pokémon are even harder.Ember seems to be in full control of her Pokémon"Brock pointed out,eyes locked on Ember as she pats her favorite Pokémon,Charizard. "In control?She's acting like Charizard couldn't hurt a Caterpie"said Ash.
Misty,eyes shining at the grace of Adam's Golduck hadn't heard a word Ash was saying. . . .until he said Caterpie."CATERPIE!WHERE,WHERE GET IT AWAY FROM ME?!?!"Misty jumped up on Ash,holding him for dear life."Ha ha ha,Misty i didn't say there was a Caterpie here i ment it looked like Ember's Charizard couldn't harm a Caterpie ha ha" "OH YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY DO YOU?TAKE THIS!"Misty took the biggest mallet she had and whacked Ash on the head."Errrrargh"Ash is on the ground looking at the stars orbit his head." Besides,if her Charizard looks so soft how can it do that?" "Huh?"Ash looks to see Charizard lift the biggest boulder he had eer seen(About 10 tons) with one hand/paw."Waaaaa,even my Charizard can't do that" "They must make a great team Adam and Ember" "They met like in a fairy tale" "Yeah,i still remember what they told us back in the car"
"Er,let's just say it wasn't easy"said Adam,noticing Ember holding back a laugth as she remembers the whole training camp experience."Well,how did you two meet"asked Misty,determined to find out more about Adam and his "link" to Ash.Adam quickly turned in his seat to prevent anyone see him blushing."Ahhh,Adam are you blushing about when we met?"teased Ember."Course not,i'm very proud of the day we met actually"answered Adam slightly annoyed."Then you won't mind me telling Misty about when we met"she asked."If you must"he said."*Giggle*Okay then,well it happened about 10 years ago. . .
*FLASHBACK*
Adam walked aimlessly about the camp base with his head down.He was miserable as always,ever since he was taken from his mom and brother nearly a year ago.His Boss as he wanted to be called wanted Adam to learn to be polite,obedient,etc.They wanted to change him but Adam would have none of it.He just kept quiet and made sure P.A.T.A regretted bringing him here.He kept himself sane by reading up on Pokémon.He loved learning about them and counted the days until he gets his first Pokémon.But he felt a prang of guilt,although he didn't like most of the adult agents,(Or even the children ones for that matter)he really liked his new 'dad' Agent John Young.He was always kind to him and never scold him for not doing what he was told.He was worthy to called dad.Unlike Jak Ketchum.As he walked past the medical bay,Adam heard screaming and objects being thrown.Someone was very angry.Adam rushed inside to find a group of Agents and Doc Roberts hanging about a doorway,ducking as trays and test tubes went flying by.
He saw his dad."Dad,what's going on,who's in there?"Asked Adam,raising his voice above the shouting.John saw him and took him to one side to avoid being hit."Adam.Last night a friend of mine found a girl your age sleeping in the woods.Later we found a small house trampled by Pokémon so we're sure it's Team Rocket and. . . .a women we thinks is the girls mother was found dead" "You. . . you told her"said Adam,knowing now why this girl was so upset."When she woke up,she asked where her mother was.When we told her what happened she totally lost it and started throwing things at us"John cast his eyes back into the room watching as anyone tried to get near but failed."Let me talk to her.I'll let her know we're here to help"offered Adam,feeling responsible for helping in some way."What?No way it's too dangerous,she's getting close to the knives"told John.Scared and shocked that Adam would ask something like that."Please dad,i'm an agent and i'm supposed to serve and protect People from Team Rocket.They've destroyed her life and i want to help her,please"begged Adam.He had never be so determined to do his dutys before this young girl came by and felt like SHE was his duty."Ok,your her age so she might listen to you.Just calm her down ok son?"agreed John,a smile curving on his lips.
The girl was still screaming and throwing anything that came to hand at these men in black who had taken her to a strange place and told her her mom was dead.She was so upset but it turned to violence as she let loose and was about to throw another tray when she saw a young boy about7-8 squeezed past the adults.He was wearing a suit like the others.Adam thought she was very pretty.Her long fiery red hair shown as the light through the window hit it.He noticed her gaze and looked down at himself."Yeah i know,doesn't make my image look good does it?"quipped the boy with almost white blond hair.The girl almost smiled but greatly calmed down."It looks like i'm going to have diner with the President.So formal,hey here's an idea.Why don't i just loosen up a bit so i don't look like a suit?"Adam took off his jacket,unclipped his tie,removed his shades and undid a couple of buttons.The change made him look like well,a kid.And this was enough for the girl to lower the tray.'Good,she's a lot calmer.It's safe to move a lot closer'.
Adam slowly made his way towards the girl,smiling all the time."Where are my manners,i haven't even introduced myself.My name's Adam,Adam Young and you are miss. . . ?The girl tried to get the words out,her throat was dry from shouting but she managed to to whisper."E-Ember,Ember Car. . Flames"she corrected.Wanting to keep the name change from the night before."That's a beautifal name.Now what's a pretty thing like you doing in a dump like this?"Adam could see tears forming in her eyes."A-a bunch of bad men calling themselfs T-team Rocket came to my home and demanded money but my mom refused.They called out their Pokémon and started destroying the house.*Sob*my mom told me to run and pushed me out of the house.As i was running i heard a crash but i was too scared to stop and ran deep into the forest.Next thing i knew i woke up here"said Ember,barly holding back tears" That's so awful but they can't hurt you now,your safe with us we're here to help you and so i'm i.I promise you're going to be fine"promised Adam.Ember looked into Adam's eyes,he had the caring looking brown eyes.Ember couldn't believe how nice this total stranger was to her but she also promised herself that he wouldn't be a stranger for long."Thank you!"she cried as she dove herself into his arms hugging him tight.Adam hugged back and stayed that way for a while.Meanwhile John had never felt so proud of Adam.His performance was 10 out of 10,he handled the problem like a true agent.'Maybe this girl can bring Adam to his peak'
For the better part of the day Adam and Ember had the time of their lives.They played with all the Pokémon in the grounds,Adam told Ember what P.A.T.A was about and finally Ember asked about his family."Well. . . i have a little brother called Ash who's about 3 now.My mom's really nice,although she sent to to be brought up by total strangers"spited Adam."Why did she do that?"asked Ember."*Sigh*I guess i was a pain or i wasn't good enough or something"Bitter feelings as he thought as what he had done to be taken away like that."Don't say things like that,we've only known each other for only a few hours but i already know you are the best"scoulded Ember,a worried look on her face."Thanks,well that's my family for you"Adam finished, turning away not wanting to let Ember know about his dark past.But Ember saw right through him."Hold on,what about your dad?"asked Ember.Sighing in defeat Adam spilled."The guy with the brown hair that was at the front is my foster dad.My real dad's in prison"admitted Adam."What did he do?" "He came back home failing at his Pokémon journey,turns out half the Pokémon he had were stolen from other trainers.He changed after that,started drinking and coming home late.My mom was worried out of her mind and when she confronted him he. . . he hit her,and when i tried to stop him he hit me too"his voice trailed off,still feeling the sting as his father's hand hit him.
"That's awful" "My foster dad told me he bumped into mom one time when she was crying and she poured her heart out to him.He figured my dad was maybe joining the ranks of Team Rocket so later that night his theory was right when dad came home wearing a Rocket uniform.When i saw it i thought i was going to puke,he made me shamed to be his son.It was a set up and the 'new recruit'was arrested for Pokémon theft and GBH.I haven't seen him since.A week later i was kidnapped while playing with my mom"Ember could tell by his voice that Adam was glad his dad was in jail."What about you dad Ember?Where's he at?" "I-i don't know.He left when i was little,but he gave me this lighter"Ember took out of her pocket a gold lighter with the initials P C engraved in."What does P C stand for?"asked Adam."They stand for my dad's name,Pete Carpenter" "I thought you said your last name was Flames?" "I changed my name last night.You see,when i was alone in that forest i lit a fire to keep myself warm.I stared into the fire for hours admiring how over hundreds of years that fire kept itself alive even when it was put out.I knew there and then that i had to be like the flames,to survive no matter what.I changed my name to suit my new me"
"Wow,you are special"Adam said,totally amazed at Ember strength."What's going to happen to me Adam?"asked Ember.She had no where to go now her mom was dead."I. . . guess your going to an adoption agency and you'll get a new home"replied Adam,knowing full well that P.A.T.A was a secret agency and no one could know of them."NO!"shouted Ember."What?"asked a stunned Adam."I don't want to be adopted,i want to stay here with you"pleaded Ember,she didn't want to call anyone else mom and dad.Adam thought of Ember as his best friend,losing her would be painful."Ember i want you to stay too but you can't unless your an agent like me" "Then i want to be an agent like you"said Ember in a plain voice.Her answer didn't go down well with Adam."Ember you have a choice,i didn't" "Team Rocket killed my mom,i'm not going to rest until they are destroyed.I have a better reason to stop them you and i should be able to help you.Please Adam"begged Ember,fresh tears forming.Adam felt terrible,Ember DID have a better reason to hate TR more then he did.Pushing another promise,Adam was going to grant Ember's wish."Ok Ember, i'll talk to dad.I'm going to take care of you,promise"Ember dug herself again in his arms,crying softly.
The next morning Ember woke up to find the Boss standing next to her bed along with Agent John and Adam."Good morning Miss Flames,sleep well?"asked the Boss,in his gruff voice.His face was covered in shadows as always.(EPM;Thought i'd make the Boss like Giovanni just for fun^-^)"Yes sir"yawned Ember,stretching her arms,smiling at Adam who smiled back."You had better get used to addressing me as sir young lady"warned the Boss."Huh?I don't get it" "Look behind you"told Adam,his smile almost saying"You'll like it"Ember turned to look at a chair and on it was a women's suit,just her size and a pair of shades.A P.A.T.A uniform."F-for me?"studdered Ember,almost thinking she was dreaming."Yes,every agent must wear a uniform" "I'M AN AGENT?"squealed Ember,jumping on the bed with joy.Adam went up to her."Yep,i begged dad for the agency to adopt you.It exchange though we both must work very hard. . . if we are to be partners when the time comes"explained Adam,relived that his dad also convinced the Boss for her to stay."Partners?Oh thta's great thank you Mr Young,thank you Boss. . . and thank you Adam"she sniffed.The Boss cleared his throat."I hope you realize Ember what this means.You must live in secret from the outside world,this job is dangerous.You may regret wanting to be a part of this"he cautioned.But Ember didn't regret anything."As long as Team Rocket are still out there and i'm with my best friend,i'll do anything"retorted Ember,surprising Adam as she called him her best friend.Well. . . the feeling was mutual."Ditto"added Adam.Then both 8 year old started laughing with joy while John and the Boss looked on,knowing deep down it was the right decision.
*END FLASHBACK*
"That was such a beautifal story WAAAAAAA!"Wailed Brock,crying those weird tear things."Yeah,i guess those two clicked straight away"noted Misty,feeding Togepi."Imagine denoting your lives to stop Team Rocket at 8.To think we thought Team Rocket were bad"said Ash.The three had left the building and went to the Pokémon grounds where Adam and Ember were STILL seeing to their Pokémon."Hey you guys,been waiting long?"asked Ember combing Flareon's coat."Only an hour,Adam may take that long Ember but why are you still tending to your Pokémon.You don't have that many"asked Ash."I have all the fire Pokémon in the world(EPM;Moltres doesn't count.)and your right there aren't that many but fire types take up a lot of time. . . .plus i can't keep away from them*Giggle*"said Ember,rubbing Flareon's tummy and hearing it growl lightly at being tickled.
"Your all set Sandshrew my little mouse Pokémon,hmmmm.I wonder where my OTHER mouse Pokémon is?(EPM;Get ready for a red face Pikapal hehe)PIKAPAL!WHERE ARE YOU?"shouted Adam across the fields.After a few seconds,Adam could hear little feet approaching.Then suddenly,out of a bush a yellow object ran at Adam Adam with incredible speed."PIKA PIKA!"it cried."No wait Pikapal,don't use your raised tackle attack OOF!"The little ball of yellow crashed into Adam,sending him flying to the ground.Ash co and Ember ran to him,Ember smiling at an all too familiar scene."Adam,are you alright?"asked Ash.Adam sat up holding the little Pikachu up."Yeah,Pikapal packs a powerful tackle for something so small"Small was right.Pikapal was just smaller then Ash's Pikachu.Pikapal's head was slightly larger than it's body but had huge ears with big black tips.Most of it's tail was black too and it had pink cheeks.This was a new species of Pikachu(EPM;The one from 'Pokémon:Gold/Silver version')."Wow,look at that Pikachu"gasped Brock.taking out a note book and writing things down."AW,it's so cute"said Misty.Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and went up to Pikapal and Pikapal vive versa.They exchanged a few "Pikas" and "Chus" before they shook tails and started chanting(EPM;Like in 'Pikachu's Goodbye')."Ha ha ha those two seem to be getting on fine"laughed Ash.
"Yeah,Pikapal's very nice are a loyal Pokémon. . huh?"Porytron was beeping in Adam pocket.He took it out and opened it."Adam,the other Trainers are here with your friends.They are heading your way"chimed Porytron."Thanks.Ash,Misty,Brock some of your friends have just arrived at the base.They'll be here any minute"informed Adam,getting up and dusting himself off."Cool,i hope one of 'em Richie"hoped Ash.He never got a chance to talk to him after the league."And you'll meet some of our friends too.If you think we're strange,wait until you see them"Ember said coyly.Smiles between Adam,Ember and even Pikapal.Ash and co are a liitle worried.

"That Blastoise just defeated 4 Pokémon that had the type advantage over it without breaking a sweat"gasped Brock.Looking on with his mouth wide open as Adam petted his most powerful Pokémon.
"If my friends are fighting i want to challenge this 'P.A.T.A Master of yours"challenged Ash.His eyes were burning with the thought of a battle since winning the Pokémon league."Ok Ash,i accept your challenge"said Adam.The chance to finally battle his brother making his heart beat faster.
"PIKAPAL!"shouted Adam,as he watched on helpless as Ash's Pikachu was making the final move to finish off Pikapal."Pikachu,quick attack"cried Ash,tasting victory at hand.
"Misty i-i l-love you"
"Ash. . . .i'm your brother"
