Eyes of a Child
By firehedgehog
Chapter Nine
"Aachooo!" Ash sneezed, the dark haired boy groaned and pulled his
covers closer to himself. It had been four days since his chase in the forest,
he now had the flu and it was driving him crazy.
"Lunch time," a cheerful voice called, he lowered his covers slightly to
see his mother enter his room. She was holding a bed tray and on it was a
bowl of some kind of soul, she got him to sit up and quickly set up the trays
small legs so he could eat in bed.
"Thanks mom, thankfully I'll be able to eat today," Ash said with a
weak smile, he hadn't beeen able to eat anything other then Jello for the last
few days.
"Thats okay sweatheart, just take your time eating and only eat as
much as you feel you can," she replied, she kissed his forhead and left the
room.
"Pika pi," pikachu said, Ash smiled at Pikachu who hadn't left his side
since he had gotten sick.
"Don't worry pikachu, I'm going to eat," Ash told his pokemon, pikachu
was quite worried about the human. Ash hardly ever got sick, never a flu as
bad as this.
"Hey stop worrying, I'll be up in no time," Ash said as the sad look on
the pokemons face, Pikachu gave a happy 'Chu' and then watched Ash slurp
his soup before it cooled.

Gary sighed as he looked out his bedroom window, it was pouring rain
and it didn't look like it was about to stop anytime soon.
'It matches my mood perfectly, depressing' he thought, he still was
quite depressed that most records of his brother Satoshi had been lost years
ago.
"Gary, why are you still in your room?" a female voice said, startled
the spiky haired boy turned around to see his sister. As usual May wore her
long dark hair loose, her dark eyes held a spark of mirth in them...
something she usual had when talking to her brother.
"Just watching the rain and wishing it would stop, theres nothing to
do," Gary said almost wining, he of course never wined... he at least never
did when others were about.
"Well it won't... wishful thinking though Gary, anyway I have
something for you to do," she said, his interest grabbed he looked at her with
keen interest in his eyes.
"What is it, there has to be something I can do," he said and his dark
haired sister laughed, she passed him a small postage marked item.
"Could you drop this at Ashs house, the mail man dropped it here by
mistake. And you could always go visit Ash while your there, hes down with
the flu and stuck in bed," she said, he nodded at the idea.
Gary was also surprised, he had not known that Ash was sick... the
younger boy hardly ever got sick.
"Sure, it will probably make me not depressed either," he said, he
quickly thanked her and ran out of his room. By the door he pulled on his
raincoat and got his umbrella, then he ran outside into the rain.
***
"Stupid rain," Ash muttered feeling slightly bad tempered, he was not
in a good mood because he was sick and the weather seemed to want to
make him feel worse.
"Ash, you have a visitor!" his mothers voice called from downstairs,
Ash blinked and wondered who would want to visit him while he was sick
and in this weather.
"Hey Ash," a voice said, Ash turned to look at his bedroom door and
saw it open and Gary enter. The older boys face was flushed from the
weather outside, Ash nodded.
"Hi Gary, what are you doing here with this bad weather?" Ash asked
the older teen, Gary smiled and sat on a chair nexy to his bed.
"Well the mailman dropped a package at our house that should of
been dropped here, and also May told me your sick and you could use some
company," Gary told him, Ash smiled.
At that second Pikachu jumped up onto the bed, Ash gently scratched
pikachu begind his ears. The electrical mouse gave a soft purring like sound
at the soft touch of his trainers fingers, then gave a soft sigh and curled up
on Ashs lap.
"You know what, thats the third time this month the mailman has
done that," Ash said with a grin and it was true, he sometimes wondered
why the mailman still had a job.
"Really, someone should tell his boss and get him fired," Gary said, Ash
nodded in agreement.
"Defenately," Ash said, the two of them then began to talk about what
they were planning to do next week... that is if Ash was over his flu.

"So... hes already near Pallot town," Officer Jenny sighed, she rubbed
her temples in frustration. The man that had escaped from prison was very
dangerous, she had actually hoped that Joseph Oak would just vanish... fall
off the earth if that was possible.
But the blue haired female cop knew that it was just wishful thinking,
anyway she had a job to do. A wakko was on the loose wanting to kill a kid,
she had to stop him before Joseph did that deed.
"Yeah, he chased a kid in a forest nearby. The kid was smart enough to
escape by hiding in the river under a falling tree, but he was lucky that
time," another cop told her, Jenny frowned at this... she knew who that boy
was but she had to pretend she didn't know.
"Who was it?" she asked, but she already knew the answer.
"Ash Ketchum, at the moment the kid is at home down with the flu,"
the cop said, Officer Jenny sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Thats all, I need to be alone for the moment," she told him, he nodded
and left the room leaving her alone.
'Ash Ketchum aka Satoshi Oak, I have to protect you... but how can I
do that without letting everyone including yourself know your true identity'
she thought in frustration, she groaned at the task set before her.
'I know I'll set a guard on him on the bases that Joseph might track
him down because he escaped, from Josephs files i know if he lost his prey
once he'll go after it again till he destroys it' Jenny thought and she paled,
what if Joseph was going after Ash right at this moment.
'I better move fast, a kids life is on the line here' she thought, quickly
she got up and ran out of the room.
***
Ash Ketchum sneezed, he blinked surprised since he hadn't felt it
come. Usually his nose would begin to tingle, it was very annoying.
"Bless you," Gary said, Ash gave a weak grin.
"Thanks Gary, wonder if someone is talking about me," Ash said, Gary
gave him a confused look.
"What are you talking about Ash?" Gary asked, Ash gave a small
embarrised laugh.
"Well I heard that people sneeze when someone is talking about
them," Ash told him, Gary rolled his eyes.
"Ash thats just a rumor somepne probably started, don't be silly it was
just a sneeze," Gary said, Ash sighed.
"I guess its true, who wants to sneeze everytime someones talking
about them anyway," Ash answered, it would be weird if it was true though.
"You got that right," gary said, they both laughed at the thought of it.
***
Delilah Ketchum smiled as she listened to the conversation going on in
Ashs room, at the moment her ear was pressed up the door.
'Boys, they're such silly creatures' she thought with a giggle, but
hopefully when the two boys grew up they wouldn't be so silly.
