Eyes of a Child
By firehedgehog
Chapter Eight
The man smirked as he slipped through the deserted alleyways of
viridian city, he licked his parched lips and teeth with his tongue. His eyes
narrowed as he planned what he would do to Satoshi when he found him,
not once did he care that the child was his own flesh and blood.
He had hated his youngest since the day he had first lay eyes on him,
only freaks had eyes like those. At first he had wondered if his bitch wife
had cheated on him, he even had a blood test and found that Satoshi was his
child.
He spits disgusted at the thought of Satoshi related to him, it was
during these thoughts that he caught sight of a well-dressed man taking a
short cut through the alley.
"....." He said, he then smirked realizing that he needed new clothing to
wear to fit in and get closer to Satoshi.
He edged himself into the shadows till he was hiding from sight, his
smirk grew as the man came closer... only a few more steps.
'Now' he thought leaping towards the man a thick rope like string in
his hands, he had found the string earlier and saved it because it could
become useful.
"Grrrr," the man said as he began to strangle his victim, he watched
sadistically as the mans face slowly went from its normal color to other
shades of color. Finally his victim stopped struggling, you couldn't struggle
anymore if you were dead.
Joseph Oak smiled widely as he pulled the mans clothing off him and
puts them on himself, he then dragged the unknown man to a dumpster and
... well dumped him.

"Police have no leads of the murder in Veridian city, the victim was
Dustan Mutou a pokemon breeder expert. Police ask that if you have any
information please call, the family of Mr. Mutou hopes for the help of
everyone... this is Jane Hope signing off in Viridian city," a brown haired
woman said, a second later the news went back to other stories.
***
Ash woke up sweat running down his forehead, again he had that
nightmare. In the nightmare he would be running to a house, he knew that
someone was waiting for him.
But just as he was about to see that person a man would appear, he
would hear this chilling laughter and see cold eyes that seemed so familiar
but couldn't place.
He looked around his room for pikachu then remembered that his
pokemon friend was at the local pokemon center, he had caught a cold
earlier and the Joy there had wanted him to stay the night.
'I need walk awhile, I don't think I'll be able to get to sleep for a while
tonight' Ash thought, slowly he climbed out of bed (or more acurtly
accidentally rolled off it onto his butt).
He shivered from the coldness of the floor as he pulled on fresh
clothing, for once he didn't pull on his traveling clothing but the style he had
worn before his pokemon journey.
Ash now wore a white sleeveless turtleneck shirt, loose blue jeans,
silver metal wrist bands, and brown leather boots that went halfway to his
knees.
'Bet Misty wouldn't recognize me at the moment' Ash thought with a
wide grin, since no one would be awake at this time of night he didn't even
bother to put on his contacts. He looked at himself in the mirror and nodded,
he looked nice with these on and he wondered if he should start wearing this
style of clothing again.
'There fading' Ash thought with a frown, on his cheeks the lightning
bolt like marks were slowly fading as he got older... before they had started
to fade away he had thought they might be birthmarks.
'Oh well, might as well go on my walk now' Ash thought with a slight
shrug of his shoulders, then he silently climbed out his window and down
the vines outside... he had used this way to sneak out many times as a kid.
***
Joseph Oak smirked as he stepped apon the outskirts of pallot town,
he knew his father lived here so there was a good change Satoshi was here.
'The old bastard is probably still playing pokemon scientist, when I'm
done dealing with Satoshi I'll deal with him' he thought licking his lips, and
then he would get rid of his other two brats.
Joseph knew that he was certified insane, the doctors at the jail had
told him after a few examintions. There was only reason he hadn't been in a
padded cell, they were afraid that the looney bin didn't have enough
security to keep him imprisoned.
Anyway he knew he could of escaped it, as a child on a dare he had
learned how to escape a strait jacket. And also he was immune to most of the
drugs they used, when he had been sixteen he had used many kinds of drugs
(his father had never known of those facts though).
'Wait, what is that I see heading to the forest?' Joseph thought, he
could just see a dark shadow heading to the nearby forest in and around
pallot. He squinted his eyes and saw that it was human, he smirked and
slipped after the figure.
'If I'm lucky it will be Satoshi or someone near him, I'll make that
person an example of my power' Joseph thought his eyes gleaming madly, he
pulled out a gleaming knife he had bought earlier... with the money from the
man he had killed.
'Of course he didn't deserve to live, only the fitist survive and Satoshi
isn't the fitist' Joseph thought, his fingers itched to bloody themselves on a
corpse of one of his victims.
***
Ash ran, he knew that someone was following him... and even if he
used all the short cuts he couldn't loose him. A fine sweat covered his body
making his dark hair stick to his face, he was seriously wondering why he
had been so stupid to leave all his pokemon behind.
'I'm sure I saw a knife in this persons hands, if only I could get it
away from him and i'd have a better chance' Ash thought but knew that it
was a bad idea all the same, he could easily be maimed or killed trying that
kind of stunt.
'Wait theres a river nearby with an overhanging bank, if I remember
right in the last storm a couple trees were knocked down forming a good
hiding place' Ash thought, his amber eyes gleamed like a cats in the moons
silver light, thankfully his eyes had adjusted by now so he didn't trip as he
ran.
Ash was breathing quite hard by the time he got to the river, he
estimated that he had at least ten minutes till the knife weilding man caught
up to him.
'I'm going to get very wet, but its that or die' Ash thought, with those
thoughts the dark haired teen walked into the water till he got to the deep
part.
He easily swam to where the fallen trees were and got under them, he
sighed in relief when he saw that he was completely hidded from view.
A few minutes later he heard the crunch of shoes on rock, he closed
his eyes in deep terror as that sound came near his hiding place. Ash knew
that one mistake could reveal him, one mistake was all it took to be killed.
'Please go away... please, all I want to do is go home and go to bed' Ash
thought tears slipping down his clammy river wet face. He wanted to cry
loudly, in all his life he had never had anyone chasing him to kill him.
***
Joseph snarled angerly, he had lost the child he had been chasing but
he had reveled in the fear he had felt from the child. He hadn't gotten a
chance to see the childs face, but next time they met the child wouldn't be
lucky enough to escape.
'I'll look for the child for a little longer, maby a few more hours... but
after that I better move on to find a hhiding place for the day' Joseph
thought, he truly hoped the child hadn't escaped because he still had many
terrors planned for his intended victim.
***
Ash shivered, his lips were blue and chattering. Thankfully he had
made it back to Pallot as the sun was rising, because Professor Oaks was
nearest he went there.
As soon as he stepped inside the lab the amber eyed boy found
himself dried and wrapped in a thick blanket... it didn't help much.
His mother had arrived a few minutes ago with his contacts, he was
wearing them now. But he found something strange, why hadn't Professor
Oak been surprised at his eye color... could he had known maby.
"Ash tell us what happened, we need to know?" Professor Oak asked
with great concern, he looked at his mother who looked ready to cry for fear
of his life.
"Well as you can guess I snuck out... I did it tonnes of times as a kid,
everything was fine till i got to the forest nearby. Everyone knows thats its
one of the safest places in Pallot even in the dead of night His mother and
the professor nodded, thats when it all went wrong," he said, his mother put
her arm around him and crying he told them of everything that had
happened last night as he hid for his dear life in the river.
