Chapter 2: Like Father, Like Son
A group of Rockets slide into the back of the Pokemon Laboratory, Planning to steal all the rare Pokemon, but things don't always go as planned.
"I think we made it this time, guys!" exclaimed one of the Rockets as they loaded a Syther into their van. "You guys never learn, do you?" said a man leaning against the van. He was very well built, and was wearing a black tank top, blue jeans, and an old, red and white Pokemon League ball cap. Beside him stood a boy how looked a lot like the young Ash, only had orangey red hair and green-blue eyes, instead of Black and Brown. "What should we do with them Dad?" the boy asked, "Gee, I don't know. What do you think Pikachu?" the man said as he turned toward his Hummer and watched a little grayish yellow electric mouse jumped out and ran to the man and jumping to his shoulder. "Want me to use the Ultra Shock, or just the good old, Thunder Shock?" the Pokemon said to him in English. "I want to know something first, why are you guys trying to keep us occupied?"
The man asked the Rockets. "You'll never get nothin' out of us, Ketchum!" Master Ketchum just smiled, "OK, we can play it that way. Pikachu, Ultra Shock if you please."
Pikachu jumped from his shoulder as he started to gather energy "All right, you people are so toast!" Ash stepped behind Pikachu "You guys have around ten seconds to live, so if you want to go with a clear conscious, you better start confessing." The leader of the Rockets snapped OK! OK! I'LL TALK! JUST CALL OF THAT PIKACHU!"
"OK, Pikachu, return." Pikachu stopped gathering energy and snapped his fingers in disappointment. "The Boss wanted to keep you out of the way long enough for him to off some kid!" Master Ketchum grabbed his shirt "Who?" The Rockets continued to spill his guts "I don't know who he is but he looked a lot like you only a lot younger, he even has a hat like yours!" Ash continued to press him "Where did he come from?" "Don't know that either! But I heard a rumor that the Boss brought him here from another time using his new prototype Time Machine thingy!" Master Ketchum let the Rocket go, "Unload those Pokemon, and get out of my sight." The Rockets quickly did as he said and took off in their van. Master Ketchum, Pikachu and the boy watched them drive off "So, you're just going to let them go, Dad?" Master Ketchum Just smiled at his son "No I'm not."
He then looked up in the air "Togatic, did you get the tracker on the van?" A small bird-like Pokemon appeared in front of the Pokemon Master and spoke to him telepathically,
Yes, Daddy, I got it on there! Master Ketchum patted the Pokemon's head "Good Job, Old friend, same to you partner." He said turning to Pikachu "Thinks Pikapi, But I hate even pretending to let those losers go." "So now what, Dad?" asked the boy angrily "First, I'm taking you and Togatic home, then me and Pikachu are going to have a nice, friendly conversation with Giovanni."
Five minutes later at the Pokemon League H.Q., Master Ketchum was trying to talk his son out of doing something stupid, when Master Ketchum's friends walked up "Jessie, James, would you please not let A.J. leave, under any circumstances. Got it?" Ordered Ketchum, Jessie and James nodded in understanding "got it boss!" they replied in unison. Master Ketchum nodded and got back into his hummer and drove off, following the tracking devise strait to Team Rocket's secret base. As soon as he was out of sight, A.J. called out his Rapiddash and took off after his father. Jessie and James Just laughed, "You think we'll get fired for letting him go?" Jessie asked her husband. James just shuck his head "This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last. He's just like his Dad." Jessie smiled "…and he's just like his Mom, too!" James' smile vanished "Yeah, and I think that's what hurts Ash the most."
C. Cowboy: Well, here's chapter two. Can Master Ketchum get there in time to save… himself? We've seen Both Team Rockets and Ash, Pikachu, and Togapi's future selves, but what happened to Brock and Misty. If you want to know then send in at least one positive review!
