Chapter 4

Misty woke slowly. Her head was throbbing and the cold stone floor under her wasn't helping. She put a hand to her head and groaned. Someone was talking close by. Was it Ash?

"…Hell of a head ache from Leafreon's sleep powder…" Was all Misty managed to catch. Who was talking, was it Mikey? Yes Mikey.

"Mikey?" She managed to say through the pain in her head.

"She's awake, call Jessie and James now." Someone called out.

Misty opened her eyes. The world swam in front of her. She closed her eyes and fought with the urge to throw up. A door opened somewhere.

"Is she awake?" Asked a posh man's voice.

"Yes." Answered someone else…Mikey.

"Get her here now!" Ordered a fractious woman.

Misty felt someone grab her waist and pull her up right. She groaned as the trip from horizontal to vertical brought another wave of nausea to her. She opened her eyes and, after she gained focus, studied the figures before her.

A man with blue hair and green eyes stood holding a rose next to a woman with long red hair and blue eyes. They were both wearing a white uniform with a red 'R' on the front.

"W…who are you?" She asked groggily.

The man smiled slightly.

"To protect the world from devastation." The woman stated.

"To unite all peoples in every nation." The man followed. Misty stared as they continued in that fashion until…

"Jessie!"

"James!"

So now Misty knew their names.

"What do you want with me?" Misty asked.

"Your friend Ashura owes Team Rocket a terrible price and you are the bait to get him here." Jessie let a small smile creep over her lips, "But first we might hurt you just to make him angry."

"You bitch! Why don't you just leave Ash alone?" Misty spat at the Team Rocket leader. Two men in black costumes grabbed Misty and held her back so she couldn't move.

Jessie placed a finger under Misty's chin, "Because he did something to the boss that was unforgivable." Misty made the move to bite Jessie but Jessie was too quick.

"So he killed him, big deal. Why don't you just get over it?" Misty's eyes shot daggers at Jessie.

"Because the boss didn't die!" Jessie signalled to another Rocket Grunt who opened the door and pushed in a wheelchair. The thing sitting in the wheelchair brought yet another wave of sickness over Misty.

"What is that?" She managed to ask.

"I," The thing hissed, "Am the leader of Team Rocket!"

Misty gasped as the thing lifted its head to reveal a horribly burnt and disfigured face of what would have once been considered a man. One eye stared at her from a heavy and paralysed body.

"You d-died!" Misty insisted. Misty could see Jessie and James didn't enjoy looking at their boss.

"No!" The man whispered, "Ashura planted a bomb in my office. The force of the explosion wasn't enough to kill me but it did seen a large piece of metal into my spine, paralysing me from the neck down!" The scars and incurable burns on his face stretched as he did the only thing he now could.

"Now we shall exact the revenge for what Ashura did our leader!" James interrupted.

The thing laughed, "Giovanni will have his revenge on Ashura and everything he loves!"

Ash watched as Pichu began to grow larger. Its tail grew to the size of a Raichu's and Pichu himself grew to the shape of a Pikachu. The light cleared.

Ash examined the Pokémon before him with curiosity.

It looked like a Pikachu but its body was a dirty sand colour and its eyes were crimson. A small red gem was planted on its forehead. Along its back, instead of the two strips, it had a mud-brown, three-pronged, crown shape. Its tail like that of a Raichu but the lighting-tip was shaper making it a whole other weapon.

"King!" It said menacingly.

Ash took a step back as did his Pikachus.

"W-what are you?" He asked.

"Kingchu!" it growled.

"K-Kingchu?"

It nodded without taking its eyes from Ash.

"You-you still remember me don't you?" a small sweat-drop trickled down Ash's head as the newly evolved Kingchu watched him.

It nodded, again not taking its eyes off him.

"Will you help me rescue Misty?"

"Chu!" It nodded.

"That's good to know," Ash sighed, "Now hoe are we going to sneak all of you along with out Team Rocket noticing?" He looked at the Pikachus expectantly.

"Kingchu!" The small red gem on Kingchu's head began to glow. Pikachu and Cascade were outlined in red before they and Kingchu disappeared.

"Pikachu?" Ash looked around in surprise.

There was an alarmed "Pika!" and a small stone from the floor of the cave moved forward.

"Invisible?" Ash put his hand out and felt the ears of his Pikachu even though he couldn't see it, "that's perfect Team Rocket will never be able to attack something they can't see."

He stood up and pulled his cape around his body. He felt two small 'things' climb onto his shoulders and something sit on his head.

"Comfortable?" he asked the invisible Pokémon.

There was an agreed "Chu!" from his upper body.

He turned and started towards the Rocket headquarters where he knew he'd be confronting some people he hoped he'd never see again.

***

Misty sat the small room Team Rocket had provided for her cell opposite a cat like Pokémon. The Pokémon stared at her with dislike. She gave it a dirty look.

"Don't give me a dirty look gurl!" The Meowth said angrily.

"Huh? You can talk?" She jumped in surprised.

"O' course I can talk!" It said.

"Huh and there was me thinking you were just another stupid Meowth." Misty knew annoying the Pokémon was a bad idea but right now she was so angry she would even bite Ash's head off, wait she'd do that anyway!

"Stupid Meowth! Dat's it you're gettin' a taste of my Fury Swipes!" The Pokémon jumped up and pulled out its claws.

"Funny I thought a Meowth's most powerful attack was Pay Day!" Misty looked at the fuming Pokémon without interest. Although she didn't know it, she had just annoyed Meowth even more.

The cat Pokémon jumped forward and slashed across her forearm. She cried out in pain.

The door opened and James walked in.

"Meowth what do you think you're doing?" The posh blue-hair man asked, "The boss said keep her quiet!"

"You got it Jimmy!" The Meowth turned back to Misty grinning.

"I'll look after her for a while and you can have a break." James pushed Meowth from the room and closed the door.

Misty stood up at looked James in the eye. He smiled.

"You've got a lot of vivacity." He said.

"And you've got a lot of ass!" She replied.

He frowned and grabbed both of her arms, pinning them to her sides.

He leaned in so she could smell his breath, "Why don't I fuck yours!"

He was about kiss Misty and with her arms restrained to her sides she did the only thing she could; spat in his face.

He receded and let her go. Wiping his face with a handkerchief he growled at her.

"No time to anyway we've got a date!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her from the room.

***

A large explosion on the main doors represented Ash's entrance into the Team Rocket headquarters. He was surrounded instantly.

Ash looked around lazily, "you redecorated." He stated.

Misty was pulled into the room through a door opposite.

"Ash!" She cried out happily.

"Misty are you okay." Cool entrance forgotten Ash tried to run to Misty but was stopped by three or more Rockets holding crossbows and Pokéballs menacingly.

James pulled Misty aside as Jessie entered followed by the wheelchair holding Giovanni.

Giovanni took one look at Ash and began laughing.

"Well Ashura it's been a while." He hissed, "I missed you son."



Now that's a cliffhanger. This chapter took me a while cause I kinda ran outta time. Love and all to those who reviewed!

Who would have guessed Giovanni was Ash's father. Okay you may have.

Cause I don't really know what happened to Ash's father I just rewrote Ash's history, which is okay cause really I only stole the characters anyway (But really they belong to Nintendo!!! Don't sue!!!).

Until next time
