"Sir, here is the control, it sends messages to the brain to remind the boy of his past, but I must warn you about-"reported a tall Team Rocket member, but was interrupted as Giovanni snatched the control out of his hands. Giovanni didn't care what it did to Ash; he justwanted to see how much pain it would cause on his brother's son.
The tall member slowly went off to return to his duties, but was soon gripped by the strength of a new comer.
"Release Ash and I release him," shouted Jason, angrily.
Delia, Sam, Brock and Misty saw Ash held by chains and clutched his head in deep pain and soreness. Delia didn't think twice, but raced over to her son, but a powerful solar beam was inches away from her. Delia fell to the floor, cake in dirt and dust, butshe still trailed overto her blood stained son.
"Delia/ Ms K," they all yelled in distress.
"Ash," whispered Delia. "Come on look at me, Ash"
Ash slowly peered into his mother's glowing eyes, but showed no emotion to his mother's embrace. Giovanni hit the button firmly as he watched the mother and son reunion and chuckled at the sight. Ash furiously slapped his mother and threw her across the floor as his mind clasped in pain.
The group joined Delia to see if she was alright, Delia showed signs of movement, and then she angrily glared at Giovanni; knowing exactly what was controlling Ash. The bulk of metal that Giovanni held in his hands was the main problem that they had to overcome to get Ash back to his normal self.
Giovanni's dragonite stood irritably in front of the devil boss of Team Rocket and snorted at the group.
"What have you done to, Ash?" fumed Misty, breaking the stunning silence.
Giovanni jumped onto the ground, and walked towards Jason and chuckled at the nervous state he was in. "I will answer your question Ms Waterflower, I have showed Ash the truth of his slut mother and her horrible lover," explained Giovanni. "This control does what it says, it controls Ash's mind, which I know you have worked out for yourselves. You see, with the touch of the button, I can do this." Giovanni lightly pressed the button and heard Ash cry in distress.
"Stop it," They all screamed, trying to help him, but a large cage came bounding down in front of the group. They tried their best to break free, but it was unbreakable, there was no way they could get out of this one.
Ash stood weakly up and struggled to release himself from the chains that held him like a captured lion. 'What's going on?' 'Why does my mind feel so mixed up' He thought, but flashes of the past crept into his mind.
A little boy stood in the doorway taking in all the violence that occurred in the kitchen. The smashes of wine bottles and plates echoed the house. The hollow cries of his mother pained him as he quickly ran into the kitchen to protect his mother from the evil. There stood a figure, with a blade in his hand and an evil glint in his eye. "Leave my mum alone, you big bully," the boy cried. The figure smirked and knocked the boy over the head with a broken wine bottle and the whimpers of "my baby, Ash, come on baby, speak to me" as the boys' eyes drooped.
"Leave him alone, Giovanni," roared Jason.
"Aww….so my baby brother finds his voice finally," joked Giovanni. "You see Ash; this man here took your mother and my wife away from our arms. That's right; he is the cause for your pain."
Ash shuddered with revenge as Giovanni told the information that he needed and violently tried to be set free from the chains.
"You're very lucky, those chains are holding him, brother," smirked Giovanni, watching Ash turn into a wild bear.
Misty and Brock noticed the small round circle on Ash that looked like it was injected into his neck and stared at each other; in confusion.
"That's not true Giovanni," Delia replied. "I did love you, until you turned into this abusive husband and I couldn't take your anger any more, andyou-" Delia paused and silent tears came to her eyes.
The weak young woman was lead to her bedroom; she tried to break free from the grip of her husband, but could not. She tried shouting for help, but she could not be heard. There was nothing she could do, but allow her husband to play with her.
"Angel," whispered Jason, sadly and cuddled her.
Delia pushed him back and didn't want Giovanni to see her tear drops. "You raped me Giovanni, and I will not forgive you!" she shouted with fury.
The room went silent as Delia's secret was out into the cold air; the gasps of shock came from Brock and Misty's mouths, but soon hushed into sadness. Samuel looked down to the ground, remembering Delia telling him too, back in the older days.
Suddenly, the cage started to lift and the group rushed out in different directions.
"What is the meaning of this?" declared Giovanni.
A team rocket member came forward and stuttered apologising as he explained that a mysterious pokemon had entered the building, and had shockedthe control computer to break down and burn up.
Giovanni grumbled in anger and noticed Misty and Brock crouching down to Ash's level. They tried to free Ash from the chains that surrounded him; they also struggled to keep him steady of removing the circle that was painfully injected into his neck.
"It's alright, Ash, we are going to help you," muttered Brock, using his power to release him from the heavy chains.
Giovanni threw the control to the floor and pounced onto the pair that tried to ruin his plan. "Stupid kids!" he hissed, hitting Brock and Misty in the stomachs. Misty cried in upset as she held onto her stomach, while Brock managed to get up again to take another blow; but this knocked him out into daze.
Giovanni smiled and quickly returned to the control that he had left on the floor and was going to begin the power of the experiment. He laughed as he pressed the button to Delia's and Jason's death by their own son. Nothing happened! Ash did not cry in pain but was crouched down in despair.
"What, I don't understand, what's wrong with this thing?" stuttered Giovanni nervously.
Samuel laughed and smiled "I think you may need these." In Samuel's hands held a few batteries poundingin the light.
Giovanni stared in shock of his plan back firing and saw his brother's determined face. Every threat that he had given to his weak brother in the past had blown out of Jason's mind and was replaced by bravery for Delia and Ash. Jason smiled at his brother; they had traded places; now it was Giovanni who looked in defeat.
"How does it feel to be defeat?" asked Jason. "You see, you seek for revenge, but I seek for the love of my family and friends. That night, you raped my Angel, I will never forget."
Jason was slumped on the couch, watching television and drowning his sorrows with cans of beer and packet of peanuts. Unexpectedly, he heard the doorbell ring. 'It's just those stupid con merchants' he thought and turned up the volume. But the doorbell kept ringing and the whimper of a cry could be heard, this drew Jason's attention. Slowly, he opened the door and a weak, shivering half naked young woman stood in the doorway. "Delia, what happened?" asked Jason, seriously. "Jason, he…raped me," she cried, and fell into his arms.
The death glare heated between the two brothers and their pulses rose high; someone was about to blow.
"I'm not the only who committed a sin. You dated my wife behind my back and then slept with her the night I raped her. Delia must of got over it quickly then," replied Giovanni, defensively.
"Shut it," hissed Jason and punched his brother.
The match had begun, Delia and Sam tried to break the pair up, but it was no use; nothing could stop them. The pair tossed and turned, lunged, punched and kicked each other; waiting for someone's heart to bleed. Anger froze the air and deep red blood entered the scene as the rip and tear of the skin could be heard.
"Jason!" cried Delia, trying to run up to her bleeding lover, but was held back by Samuel.
Jason was cornered with his brother towering over him; revealing a blade in his grip. Giovanni snorted with happiness as his brother's death and Delia's sadness was near. However, the blade glinted into Ash's view and Ash recognised it was the same blade he saw in his flashback. This all made sense; it was not Jason who was fighting with his mother in the kitchen. It was Giovanni!
"No," gasped Delia and Samuel.
A yellow pokemon came rushing in and heard the quick order from its trainer "Pikachu, thunder shock!" A bolt of electricity flew towards Giovanni and socked him inside out. Ash stood in the balance with a small yellow mouse at his side. Ash was still battling with his dark mind, but managed to save Jason from the blood sucking Giovanni.
"Ash, you saved me," stuttered Jason, looking at the boy.
Ash nodded, holding a round circle in his bloody hands, he had torn out the control device from his neck. Ash said, "Thanks to my friends and my best pokemon." Ash soon grasped his weary head and the flashbacks increased and screamed in agony.
"No, I won't let you win," screamed Ash.
Jason, Delia and Samuel came to his side giving him support to conquer the evilness within his body.
"What can we do?" asked Delia, desperately. No one knew the answer to that hard question and hoped for a miracle to come.
"I know," replied a soft voice. Everyone turned around to see Misty weakly walking forward, massaging her stomach in every footstep, Misty crouched down to the screaming boy and wrestled him to the ground and forced her soft pink lips onto his.
'Come on, Ash, hear me," Misty thought. Ash soon came to the flavour with his lover's lips and his mind began to untie while happiness poured out. Ash gazed into Misty's eyes and saw the calming oceans as their lip were locked. The memories flooded in of himself, Brock and Misty's pokemon adventures and then the memories of his mother and Professor Oak waving him off for the start of his journey and supporting him through his Pokemon Leagues.
Slowly and carefully, their lips drew back and the nervous glance on Ash was tightly in progress.
"Love you too, Mist," whispered Ash and smiled weakly. Everyone quietly laughed and treasured the moment of Ash's return.
