When a path takes 2 ways
Ch 2
(The next morning Brock got up early because he couldn't sleep. He was thinking about Ashley. It was clear that his wife Suzie couldn't sleep because she was sat at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in her hands. Brock went to join her)
"Hi" he said quietly "You couldn't sleep neither?"
(Suzie shook her head)
"I'm scared Brock" she said upset "I keep thinking what if Jessie and James got the wrong Ashley. I don't want to go on a wild goose chase and get my hopes up" She started to cry
"Shush Suzie" Brock came and hugged her "Jessie and James are smart and if they say they are the people then they are"
"You think so," Suzie said
"I know so" Brock gave her a warm smile
***
(A couple of hours later Ash, Brock, Misty and Suzie were waiting outside Rocket Café the name of Jessie and James restaurant. A head poked itself round the corner, it was James)
"Hi" he said "Jessie is working so its just me and" he paused "Meouth
(The four of them went inside and went up to the flat that Jessie and James shared. Growlithe started licking James as he entered)
"Down boy" he said
(Growlithe obeyed its masters commands and sat down)
"So James tell us," Brock said sitting down
"Yeah" Suzie asked, "What did happen that day?"
"Well" James said, "Just what I said on the phone to Ash. I know it's the right couple though because they had Team Rocket uniforms on," he added
"Where is the Slowpoke Well?" Suzie asked
"It is in the next town to Goldenrod which is Azalea town. It is on the border," James said
"Thank you James" Suzie said
"Yeah" Brock said, "You don't know how much of a help you have been"
"Its nothing" James smiled
(Ash, Misty, Brock and Suzie exited the flat and went back to Brocks car)
"We need to get there as soon as possible," Brock said
"What about tommorow"Ash said
"Ok" Suzie said "We will see you tomorrow
(Ash produced a Pigeot from a pokeball and him and Misty climbed on it and flew away into the distance. Brock and Suzie got into their car and drove away not noticing that a camera was watching their entire movements)
***
(Ned put away the camera)
"Fools" he said bitterly "I must be patient. They wont come that easily. I must move quickly"
(Suddenly he heard a knock. Ned quickly got onto his bed)
"Yes" he said weakly
(It was Anna. She came in)
"Sir" she said "The child has had his meal and produced some lightning moves today. He also learned some defence moves too," she added as an afterthought
"Good" Ned said He paused
"Anna" he said "The parents of Ashley as well as the "Master" he spat out "And the runt of a girlfriend are planning to come tomorrow to launch a attack"
(Anna gasped then snorted)
"What yourself and Andrew must do" he managed to get out "Is to brainwash him from his family. He must not know anything about it"
"I will Master" Anna promised and went out of the room
(Ned laughed)
"With every energy the kid brings out the stronger I become" he laughed, "Soon I will be able to take over the whole Pokemon world and nothing will be able to stop me" he let out a laugh)
(Anna crept out of the room. Andrew was there)
"We have to brainwash him Andy," she said
"But why" Andrew said
(Anna sighed)
"Because his mother and father are coming to take him away" Anna said "We will be putting him into battle"
(The pair of them crept into Ashley's room. We see them coming out later)
"I hope the boss will understand" Anna said
"I am sure he will," Andrew said
***
(Delia Ketchum was sunbathing in her garden. Her son Ash had given her daily calls to her for her son's best friend Brock son Ashley getting kidnapped for Team Rocket. Then her "Friend" Professor Sam Oak came over on his bike)
"Hi Delia" he said
"Hello Sam" Delia came over
"How is Ash and Misty," he said
"Fine, but I haven't had any calls lately. I hope they are ok" Delia said
"I think they will be fine" Sam said
(Delia was about to hug him when the phone rang. Delia went inside)
"Hello" she said, "Yes, Oh that is wonderful news. Just be careful ok, right I talk to you soon bye"
(Delia cut off the phone and went back outside)
"That was Ash," she said to Sam
"Yes" Sam said
"He said that tomorrow he was going on a rescue mission," Delia said proudly
"Oh good news" Sam said
"I hope he is ok" Delia said
Next time
Brock and Suzie go to Slowpoke Well to Rescue Ashley
Will Ned find out that Anna and Andrew haven't brainwashed Ashley?
And Will Ash come face to face with Ned again?
