This part takes place shortly after Ashes first attempt of escape.

In Lance's office, he is pacing back and fourth. He is very worried. He has not been able to get a hold of Boyd and his partner Monty for about three months. He started to get worried when they did not make their weekly reports. He believes that they have been captured, but by who, he does not know. His last contact was when he was heading to meet with his Rocket spies in Kanto. He is also getting more worried over Ashes kidnapping. No one has made a ransom demand and no news of his kidnapping. He is getting daily calls from the gym leaders and Ashes friends and he regrets telling them that he has no new information for them. The only last clue is the vehicle Boyd and Monty drives. It was found abandon in Viridian City. It is his only lead, but he wants more information before acting. He soon gets feed up, and leaves his office to train his pokemon to relive some of his built up frustration.

In the office of Giovanni, he is talking to Mrs. Crimson if she has had any break troughs with the spies they have caught.

"I have been able to find out who they are working for and the disk we found on one of them. They work for Lance, and the disk contained a program to create a backdoor into our computer system so they can enter unnoticed and find out about our plans. I am currently working to see if they have placed anymore spies at our other locations and what information they have gathered."

"I want to know every detail you found and do a complete background checks on all new employees in the past six months."

"Yes sir."

A beep is heard on a intercom in Giovanni's office. He reaches over and turns it on.

"What is it Miss Evelyn."

"Mr. Henry is here, along with your son. Also Mr. Cain is here to discuss with you his current project."

"Send in Mr. Henry and my son, and tell Mr. Cain to wait. I will be with him shortly."

"Miss Crimson if you excuse me, I have some family problems I need to take care of."

"That is okay sir; I am not offended at cutting our meeting short. I will start having the background checks done as I get back to my office."

She gets up, gives a bow to her boss, and walked to the door. As she opens it, Mr. Henry comes walking in carrying someone over his shoulder. She exits and heads back to her office.

As Henry walks in, he puts Ash in the floor and bows to his boss. Ash is starting to wake up, but slowly. Giovanni looks at him for a minute with hate.

"How is Mr. Bishop?"

"He is recovering right now sir. He has a minor concussion and a large gash on the left side of his face."

"Where did you find my son?"

"I found him on the main floor in the private area, heading for the southeast emergency exit."

"How was he able to get to the main floor?"

"I do not know, but I will find out sir."

As the two men were talking, Ash was coming to. He opened his eyes, and finds he is staring at the floor. He quickly closes them. He fells sensitive all over his body, his head hurts and he thinks he will throw up, if he had anything in his stomach. He fells cold and pulls his body closer to himself.

Giovanni seeing this orders Mr. Henry out. As Henry leaves, Giovanni is thinking what punishment he would give to his son.

"Get up now!" he yelled at Ash

Ash ignored the man's order, and curled tighter.

Giovanni gets up quickly and heads to Ash. He grabs the front of his shirt and picks him up off the floor. He slams Ash against a wall and held a hand over his neck, pinning him to a wall.

"You will do as I tell you to do from now on. This is your new home and you will learn to like it. One more bad action from you, you will be severally punished."

As he was talking to Ash, he was tightening his grip on Ashes neck. Ash struggled to get lose from the mans grip. He clawed at his arm but it was not working. He raised his legs up and kicked the man in the chest hoping that would work. It did and Giovanni went flying right into his desk, knocking many items off his desk. Ash fell down to the ground grasping for air and was shacking with fear.

The people outside the office of their boss, hears the commotion going on. They hear an enraged boss, and a loud thud against the wall. They hear a loud crash. Soon they hear things breaking in the room and Henry runs in. As he enters, he sees Ash throwing books and anything he can get a hold of at his boss. Both Giovanni and his Persian are behind the desk trying to avoid from being hit. Ash stopped throwing, to see who enter the room. He went white in the face. He threw a book at Henry but knocked it away before it hit him. He advanced where Ash was, and Giovanni was doing the same thing with his Persian. He was trapped, in a corner of the room and the only escape he saw, was to get to the door and run.

"You are going to regret doing that to your father." Giovanni said

"You are and will never be my father!" Ash said and stated throwing more things at the two men.

Henry ran up to Ash, but Ash moved out of the way and managed to jump up on the desk. Giovanni tried to grab him but missed. Persian saw its move and jumped up as his trainer missed. He grabbed Ashes right leg with its front paws and sunk his claws into his flesh to stop Ash. Ash jerked his leg loose, but wound up with deep gashes on his leg. He let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground, hitting his head on the side of a table, and blacking out. Henry ran over and gathered Ashes arms behind him, not wanting to give an opportunity to escape again.

"You do not have to restrain him Mr. Henry, he knocked himself out." Giovanni said as he moved closer to Ash.

Henry released him and watched as his boss tore open the pant leg to look at the wounds on Ashes leg. Giovanni looked back at his Persian, which it cowered down with the look of rage in its trainers face. Giovanni got up and went back to his desk and sit down. He looked at the blood on his desk and floor. He also looked at the scatted books, papers, and broken items all over his office.

"Get him out of my sight." he said

Ash was coming to with a major headache and blurred vision. He tired to get up off his stomach but did not have the strength and fell back down. He gave out a cry of pain when he moved his right leg. Henry grabbed one of his arms and pulled it around the back of his neck and gripping his wrist. He wrapped his other arm around Ashes back and grabbed his pants and picked him up and headed out the door carrying and dragging Ash at the same time.

Outside, Mr. Cain had watched as Henry jumped at a loud thump against the wall in his bosses' office, and saw the man run in when he heard a series of loud crashes. He heard yells coming from someone and then it was all quite. He was not for sure how long this lasted, but he saw a couple people had gathered where he was, who wanted to know what is going on. Few minutes later, the door was open, and from where he was, he saw a small pool of blood. He watched as Henry walked out of the room, with the same person he saw the man carry in a few minutes earlier. He gulped at the sight of the kid. He saw the deep cuts on the kid's right leg and blood flowing from his face. Henry looked up and the people who had gathered quickly left. He jumped when his name was called out from the room Henry just exit. As he walked towards the room, he was actually scared of his boss. He has not been in years, but after seeing the kid, he was almost petrified with fear.

He walked in and bowed at his boss. He saw the mess all around him and his boss did not seem very pleased with himself.

"Ignore the mess Mr. Cain; I had a disagreement with my son. What do you have to report?"

"Sir, I have the new results of the enchantment research you wanted. I am about eighty-five percent down converting it to human use. I should be able to have it completed by the end of next week." he said

"Fine, get it done. Have my sectary summon someone to clean up this mess."

"Yes sir." Mr. Cain said and left

As he exited, he walked over to the secretary and told what she needs to do and he left to the elevators. As he enters, he was glad to get away from his boss, before something else happen.

Back in the office of Giovanni, he finds his report he was given by Mrs. Crimson. It has drops of blood on it, but he ignores it. He opens it up and reads over her finding she presented him. He closes it, gets up, and walks out of his office. He walks pass his secretary and into the hallway. People scatter once they see him. He walks to his private elevator and headed down to sub-level six. As he exits, he goes to the small infirmary to talk to Mr. Bishop. As he enters, He hears Doctor Ramous talking to someone, but more like pleading. He looks towards the back of the room, and saw Bishop putting his Rocket uniform on. Ramous is asking him to stay in bed and that he needs his rest.

"I am fine doc, so quit your bellyaching."

"But Bobbie, you received a concussion."

They looked up as they heard the door closed. They saw who it was and bowed to Giovanni. Giovanni walks up to them and dismiss the doctor.

"Mr. Bishop, I see you are felling better."

"I had have concussions before sir. Was Mr. Henry able to capture the kid?"

"Yes."

"I am sorry for losing him. It will not happen again."

"It wont, you and my son will be leaving by the end of the week to a new location, to continue your training. He is currently in Mr. Henry's custody. Until then, you are off duty." he said

Giovanni left the room, traveled up in the elevator to the main floor, and left for home.

Ash did not know what was happening to him. He felt as he was picked up and dragged around. Bright lights hurt his eyes and his leg hurt whenever it moved. He could not make out many sounds around him and his whole head hurt. He tried to focus his vision, but it was no use. He was getting sleeper by the minute. He felt as he was dropped on a hard cold surface. He curled up and groaned when he encountered pain.

Henry watched as Ash curled up in a ball. He was not happy with the kid. He walked to a mirror and saw a big burse over his left eye. He cusses at the sight of it. He would more then happily, to take the same book he was hit with and hit Ash with it until he was black and blue all over, but being the boss's son, he could only hit him to discipline him. A person walks in, wearing a lab/doctor coat. He looks at Henry and then behind him. He see someone with a bloodily leg. He walks over to Ash and looks at his leg. He shudders at the sight. He knows about Henrys reputation.

"Mr. Henry what happen?"

"A disagreement with the boss. Have him patched up. I will be leaving, and make sure you keep him from leaving the room. I will be back within the hour to take him back to his room." he said and left

The doctor watched as he left. He called for his assistant and began looking at Ashes leg. He took off Ashes shoes and cut the remainder of the pant leg off. He looks at the damage. It will take a while for the leg to completely heal and he cannot stitch it up. He cleans Ashes leg and wraps it up. He checks him over for more injuries, but only finds the gash on Ashes head and that he had a concussion. He stitches it up and placed him in a bed. He tells his assistant to keep an eye on him. He walks away to clean himself up.

Ash is dreaming a violent dream. He is running and is trying to get away from someone. He looks back and sees Henry chasing him. He picks up his speed but the man is gaining on him. He trips on something and falls down to the ground. As he opens his eyes, he sees a pair of black shoes and red pants. He looks up to see the man that clams himself as his father. The man grins at him and reaches down to grab him. Ash wakes up and finds he is lying on his left side facing a white wall, and someone in white is holding him down, and he fells someone's weight on his legs. The people holding him down release him. One of them takes the cover off Ash and looks at his leg. Ash looks also and sees bloodily bandages.

"Dam it, he reopen his wounds. Dale go get new bandages and don't forget the scissors."

Dale left and came back with a role of gauze, scissors, towels, alcohol, rubber gloves and a few other items in a tray. He hands the doctor the scissors.

"Turn him on his stomach."

The man gabbed Ash by the shoulders and forced him on his stomach. Ash wanted to get up, but the man held him down. He felt as the cold scissors hit his skin, and as the old bandages were cut off. It hurt when the man examined the wounds and Ash heard a take in of breath from one of them. Ash craned his head around to see his leg but saw as the doctor gabbed a syringe from the tray and drew some liquid out of a vile. He came close to Ash, took out an alcohol pad out of a package, and wiped down Ashes arm. Ash struggled to get out from underneath the man holding him down.

"Hold still!"

He heard that and went pale. It was Henry and he had return. The doctor quickly administrated the shot and quickly Ash felt his body go numb. The assistant got off Ash and helped the doctor place the new bandages on Ash. Ash did not turn his head to look at Henry. He starts to shake from fear, and from the blood he has lost and not eating since breakfast.

"I thought you had him bandaged up already." Henry asked

"We did, but he was trashing in his sleep, and broke open his wounds." the doctor said

"Hurry up; I need to take him back to his room."

"He can't be moved…" the doctor tried to say but was cut off by Henry

"I don't care; get him ready to leave now."

They quickly finish bandaging Ash and left. Henry walked over, grabbed Ash by the hair, and forced him to sit up in the bed. Ash looked at the man and saw that his left eye was swollen shut. He also saw that Mr. Bishop was there, also with his left side bruised up with a bandaged covering up his left eye and the side of his face. He saw they had hate in their eyes. He looks down from them. He does not know what they will do now with him. He wants to go home and be with his friends and mother. Henry grabs Ash by the arm and made him stand. It hurt when Ash had to place weight on his leg.

"Now start waking." Henry said

Ash did as he was told to do. It was hard for him to walk. They got to an elevator and went down. They exit and as they past the security desk, Ash noticed the officer had two black eyes, a broken nose, and was missing some teeth. He quickly stood up once he saw Henry and Bobbie leave the elevator. They took him to his room and left him. Ash was relived they did not do anything to him, but does not know how long that will last.

"If I had my way with that kid, I would have punished him to an inch of his life." Henry said

"I doubt it would work. He has a stubborn streak, like his father."

"So you will be leaving at the end of the week to somewhere else?"

"Yah, the boss thinks it would be wise to relocate his son somewhere else. Since we found those spies, he does not trust to keep him here. He believes that that Lance character may come snooping around here."

Two days passed, and he left Ash in his room. He mostly stayed in bed. There are burses on his neck from Giovanni. The only person he has see was someone who comes in the morning and at night to change his bandages. His meals are nothing but oatmeal. On the third day, Mr. Bishop enters and finds Ash sleeping away. He walks up and drops a suitcase down on the bed. Ash bolted up in bed and looked at the man.

"We will be leaving in the morning. Pack all of you clothes."

"Where are we going?"

"You do not need to be concern about that."

Mr. Bishop turned around and left the room. Ash looked down at the suitcase and knocked it off his bed. He looked up at the clock in his room and saw it was eight at night. He set there thinking of his options until some noise caught his attention. He looked around his room tell his eyes fell on the air vent above his dresser. He saw eyes looking back at him. He got up, walked over to his dresser, and looked up at the vent cover. What ever was in there scurried away when Ash came near. As he looked up at the vent, he came up with a possible escape. If it worked, he will be able to get out of the building and seek help. He hopes the vent is big enough for him to craw through and held his weight. He limped back to his bed, for he knew if he escaped now, they would know when the doctor came to change his bandages.

Few minutes later, the doctor arrived. He changed his bandages and soon left. Ash looked at the bowl of oatmeal the doctor left him and ignored it. He got up and climbed on top of the dresser. He tired pulling it off, but it was screwed in. He wished the doctor did not closely guard his instruments; he could have stolen his scissors to use as a screwdriver. He was about to give up, until he remembered about his belt buckle. The thin metal piece may be big enough to use to unscrew the screws. He hopped down and regretted landing on his right leg. He ignored the pain and pulled his belt out of a drawer. He got back on the dresser and took the belt buckle off. He tried the metal pin, and it worked. It took him some time, but he got the four screws off. He set the vent cover down and got off the dresser. He got a change of cloths out. He pulled out gray sweat paints and shirt. He smiled at himself. He remembered watching a spy movie. The main character said it was better to wear broken up patterns of gray and not pure black. With pure black, you stick out at night. Pure gray would have to serve his purpose tonight.

He replaced his buckle back on the belt and placed in back in the drawer. He pulled on his shoes and got back on the dresser. He had to hop up to get inside the air duck, but he made it after a couple tries. He was able to turn around and reach down for the vent cover. He had already thrown the screws down the drain in the bathroom. He also had made it look like he was still in his bed. He pulled the vent cover back on and it stayed on. He turns around and started to craw though the air duck. He smiled to himself. He knew he would get out.
