I don't own them.

Chapter 'whatever-this-is' is finally done! I honestly lost track of it. Anyway, I e-mailed the people who asked me to e-mail them when I updated. This story will be coming to an end soon, I think. Maybe 4 more chapters. But they will probably be longer since there still a lot of unresolved issues. Maybe it'll be ten more. I don't really know yet. I just want you guys to know I love you, and your feedback really does help me get inspired. Anyway, please let me know what you think. You can also e-mail me at cream_filled_peaches@yahoo.com ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~

Misty walked into the musty room that had served as a library at some point. The house, although dirty and untended, still radiated elegance. Misty had known Ash's family had a lot of money, but she hadn't known HOW much. She opened one of the drawers in the desk, not really knowing what she would find. She found nothing but a few papers with an insignia at the top and some notebooks, but nothing of importance. They looked like account books. She looked through some of the other drawers, but found nothing. She leaned against a filing cabinet, accidentally tipping it over. She muttered something under her breath and picked up all the papers. She was about to pick the thing back up, but she saw something gleam on the floor. It was a small gold necklace with the same insignia she had found in the papers. She shrugged, and put it in her pocket. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~* ~ * ~ Ash looked at Amita, stupefied.

" What?" the words came out more like a croak. " Your father betrayed Misty's parents. He's the one that killed them. Picture this, Ash. Misty's parents are a young couple. They know nothing about the immortals, and Magnus makes them an offer they can't refuse. He'll set them up for life. That way, they'll have more than a good gym that can support them. They'll have a lot of extra money to buy their daughters whatever they want. All they have to do, is slip your father the name of a couple of good pokemon trainers they battle. So Misty's father decides that there is no harm in that, but then the trainers start disappearing. One at a time. Until her parents confront Magnus. He makes them another offer. He'll show them what happens to the trainers, and give them more money and security. The trainers are being recruited into A*D*O so they can fight the immortals. Money can control people, you know Ash. Misty's parent's were good people, but they didn't want to live without their luxuries and niceties. Eventually, Misty's parents get in on that whole immortal business. They start working for both sides too. Until Magnus betrays them. With both the immortals and A*D*O on their asses, they decide to fake their own death. They try to, but they end up dying anyway. Misty found a tape earlier. An old tape that had 2 copies. Magnus planted a camera in the bedroom when her parents were talking. Misty thinks her parents are still alive, but they're not. Magnus made damn sure they didn't survive. She was meant to find the tape. I'm surprised she didn't think twice before rushing off. The tapes were switched, that's why she never saw that footage. They set a trap for her. or rather for you. Your father wants you on the side of the immortals. That's the only way they'll get off his ass. If he gets you to fight with them, his status will be restored. But with Misty alive, you'll never join the battle on their side."

Ash stared at Amita for a second. He got up quickly, and began to run out of the alley. He crashed against something near the entrance. He got up and touched the air in front of him. He turned around to look at Amita, and saw her holding her hand up. He punched the air, but his fist hit the invisible wall again.

"Let me the hell out of here." He ordered quietly.

" Sorry, Ash. I want to get Magnus. I am using Misty as bait. I'm going to get that son of a bitch."

" LET ME OUT!" Ash yelled again, but she didn't let the wall weaken.

"Listen to me, Ash. I'm helping you. We kill Magnus, and we weaken the immortals. The immortals depend on him. That's why they let him free. He's the only human left that actually works with them. Your father is bigger than you think. The immortals may have human supporters, but they all follow your father. You kill the king, and the kingdom falls. We'll make it to Misty on time."

Ash looked at her, eyes narrowed. I at least want to keep an eye on her. Can't we."

" Sure." She said. She waved her hand, and they disappeared.
