I would like to thank everyone who has replied to my new fan-faction and I am glad you like it. It seems this one is popular. If you think I am slow at posting new chapters up for this story, remember I am working on another story at the same time and that shortly I will be heading back to college and also I have been in a writers block with this story since I first posted the first chapter. So be patience, because it is rewarded in the end.
A week later, Delia and the others have not heard of any news of Ash. They have been staying at the pokemon center all of this time. Nurse Joy has been really nice to them. Officer Jenny suggested that they all go home and she would contact them if she had any news of Ash. While leaving, Jessie, James, and Meowth appeared but did not stay long. Pikachu thunder them away even before they started their motto.
"Kids I think it would be wise if you all go home yourselves. I will contact you if I get any information on Ash." Delia said
"Are you sure Mrs. Ketchum?" Misty asks
"Yes, I will be okay." Delia said
"Okay Mrs. Ketchum." Brock said
They said their goodbyes to each other, and left for home. May and Max traveled with Professor Birch. Brock and Misty traveled with Oak, Gary, Tracey, and Delia till they reach Kanto, then they left for their own homes.
At the underground research base south of Ever Grande City, they have been keeping Ash sedated since his first panic attack. Ash is dreaming he is swimming. He sees something circling around him. He can not make out what it is, it is too dark. Something brushes against his back. He turns around, nothing is there. All a sudden he is hit in the stomach, sides and back. He wakes up and is breathing heard. He looks around and sees he is in something round and with liquid. He is cold. Bits and pieces of past events flood back to him. He remembers being attacked by something and then getting hit in the face and he could not see. He then felt something hit him hard in the stomach and he blanked out, but he is not for sure where he is now.
He looks around and sees people walking around doing various tasks. One person looks up from a screen and took off running, and left the room. He can not hear what is going on outside and he hurts still. He tries to move his arms and legs, but can not. He looks down and sees a strap around his chest, about three inches wide. He looks to his left and sees his upper arm and wrist are strapped to a pole and sees an IV line attached to his hand. As he looks he sees a lot of cuts and gashes all over his body.
He looks back to the room and sees a lot of people looking at him. The man who ran out came back with another man who looked like he was wakened from sleep. A redheaded woman follows them in. He sees the fetched man talking to the others and hits one on the head. He reaches down and messes with something. Ash wished he could hear what is going on.
"Dam it, I told you to turn the temperature up on the chamber to seventy five degrees yesterday. Do you have jelly in your ears?" Ducky said "How are his vitals?"
"His blood presser is in the norm, heart rate norm, and he is not having trouble breathing."
"Good." Ducky said
The doctor walked over to the end of the control panel and turned on a microphone. Ash was fallen asleep till he heard noise coming from the room. He jumped and looks out to the group that has gathered. He notices the liquid around him was warming up. He heard a voice and looked around to find who was talking He sees the man that was fetched slightly bent down, talking to a microphone.
"Do you hear me?" Ducky asked "If you hear me, nod your head yes."
Ash nodded his head. He tried to speak but his voice was horsed. He tried again and asked his question to the doctor.
"Where am I? Who are you?" he asked
The doctor chuckled and Ash did not like it.
"You are at a Team Rocket research and development base. For who I, I am Doctor Ducky Webster, best genetics researcher around." he said
"More like a quack pot mad scientist." Annie said rolling her eyes
"Hey, shut up you reject from a beauty pageant." he yelled at Annie
Ash was left in silence as the two fought between each other. It went on for a few minutes till the lab assistants broke them up. Annie stormed out of the room. The doctor straightens up his lab coat and started to sneeze. He grabs his tie and uses it as a tissue. He saw what he had done and took it off, ordering one of the assistants to take it to clean it. The assistant walked out of the room with a disgusted look on his face. The doctor walked back to the microphone.
"What do you want with me?" Ash asked
"Oh, it is simple. The boss wanted you eliminated, but I suggested that I could use you in my next project instead. He agreed and you are now my guinea pig for my next project." he said and turned off the microphone.
Ash did not like what he had just heard and started to yell at the top of his lungs, and pulling at his bonds. His throat hurt, but he kept on yelling. He finally noticed that no one was paying attention to him and quit. He saw as the doctor ordered the assistants around.
"Get the serums out of the back room now. Pull out the lime green ones."
Many of the lab assistants are at the computers adjusting settings. One comes out with the requested serums. He is pushing a cart and on it were ten test tubes setting in a wooden holder, color lime green. Ash noticed that they were bigger, four inches in length and three inches in circumference. He does not like the look of them. He watches as the doctor picks one up and talks to someone at the control panel
"I want you to do a red and white blood cell count every two hours. By the time we finish giving him the tenth dose, his immune system will be three times faster at battling infections and other stuff. Make sure the backup generators are on standby. I do not want the chance of losing him when we are hit by a blackout like last month. I lost so many pokemon we where experimenting on."
"Yes sir."
The doctor walked forward to the chamber and looked up at Ash. The doctor smiled an evil grin, and inserts the tube in a slot at the front of the chamber. He twists the tube and Ash noticed as the lime green liquid drains out of the tube and it starts to come through an IV line attached to his right hand. He tries to jerk it free from the restraints, but it is no use. The lime green liquid enters into his body. It burns as it enters and Ash convulses as it race through his system. Soon he stops convulsing and his body is still.
"Sir, his breathing has return back to normal. His heart rate is normal also." someone says
"Good. Wait an hour before administrating the next dose. When you are done with the last dose let me know." he said and left the room
As he was walking to his office, he sees this experimentation will go very well. He also sees this as a potential advancement up in the ranks of Team Rocket. He enters his office and closes his door. He walks over to his desk and tires to open his converted drawer. It does not open, and he looks down. A lock has been placed on it. He gives a sigh and walks over to his closet. He opens it up and pulls out a lock cutter. He walks back and breaks the lock off. He tosses it in the garbage and opens his drawer up. It is empty. He sits down and gives out a sigh of frustration. He knew he stocked it last night, but it is now empty. He gets up and heads over to cafeteria.
"Just my luck, I have to take it slow with the administration of the serums and now my icebox is empty. Oh, well, this will be my greatest work so far."
