Chapter~ Explanations.
Justin and mew ran all the way to Prof. Omni's lab after his match. He was happy for the sweeping victory, but wanted to see what had happened with Anabel.
When he got to the lab, he walked in to see everyone sitting down, and Anabel with a very shocked face. From the looks of things, the crew had told her everything, from right after the Kalos league to the recent events.
"so.. let me get this straight. Professor Oak was ashamed of your failures, tried to make you quit by talking to you, and then basically removed your privileges to anything competitional? Anabel quizzed as the crew nodded in response.
"And for taking Ash's side, you guys were banned from anything as well?" Anabel continued to ask, getting more nods. She turned her attention to Caleb and Justin.
"I'm sorry, I don't really know you two. Are you in the same situation?" by Anabel asking this, Caleb deadpanned while Justin went on to explain.
"Well yes and no. Same reason, different circumstances." Justin replied as he pulled Caleb up. "I'd tell you, but there are more important things at hand, so maybe another day." Justin continued. Anabel nodded in understanding.
"So Anabel, could you tell us what you heard about us? We would like to know what Oak has been telling us." Ash requested. Gaining the attention of the others, who had been silent during the story Ash had been telling.
"Well you see, it all began like this…"
Professor Omni was walking down the halls of the conference stadium reading the files of the round one matches so far. They went as follow. Jack Marco. Ritchie Sapphire. Harriet Jerico, yada yada yada, he could go on forever. So far 1,000 matches had already gone by, but 4,000 were still to go. Omni brushed his hands over his head as he read over ALL of the matches. Why didn't he just stay with the others and listen to the story? Anything would be better than this. As he continued to walk, he didn't notice the angry-looking professor walking towards him.
"Excuse me, Omni? If I may have a word?" Omni paused when he heard the voice of Prof. Oak and turned to see the distressed professor.
"Yes, Oak? What is it?" Omni replied as he looked at the demeanor of Oak. He looked tired, stressed, and slightly angry.
"I'd like to discuss the contestants of Ash Ketchum, Clemont Xero, Serena Yvonne, Bonnie Xero, and Max Maple. I told you why Ash was banned and you still allowed them to participate?! These five are criminals! Surely you've read everything about them? Abuse of pokemon, murdering pokemon- mostly those that didn't even belong to them, and Poke theft! We even have one trainer as a witness! His name's Damien. Here, I'll go get him for you-" Oak continued to say before being interrupted.
"Umm, Oak? I am very aware of why they were banned, and I'm also aware that they are wanted for these crimes in the regions. I've seen everything." Omni explained as Oak gave him a shocked look in disbelief.
"Are you sure you know EVERYthing? You know the younger two right? Max and Bonnie? They were kidnapped! kidnapped from their families I say! At one point we recovered them, but they attacked us! They have been brainwashed! The kids could have an excuse, but the older ones are most certainly criminals! We should march up to them right now and arrest them and confiscate their pokemon! It's safer for everyone here if we-"
"Now wait just a minute Oak!" Omni shouted at the Professor, who flinched for a second. "I've done PLENTY of research and I am WELL aware of everything about them. But as far as Genzu knows, the evidence just doesn't fit! My Espeon read their minds when they first arrived and not only detected no forms of brainwashing, but no memory of pokemon theft, murder, abuse, or anything else in that range! Now please, leave me be, I have a lot of battle records to look at." Omni continued in a tone of anger as Oak walked away.
"You'll regret this Omni, just you wait.." Oak mummered as he continued to walk away.
The frontier brains sat in a meeting hall room waiting for Scott to walk in. It was nearing the season of the Battle Frontier, and a new set of trainers were coming in. The year before it had been ten, a significant jump compared to just Ash or Reggie. This year there was supposedly twenty-something. Were they in for a surprise. Scott walked in with a stressed face as he sat down at one of the chairs and pressed a button, causing a holographic screen to appear. It was an article about a certain five trainers.
"What's this all about Scott? I thought we were going to discuss the new Season?" Noland quizzed as Scott shook his head.
"We will afterwards, right now I need your opinion on this. Just read it." Scott said in a flatlined voice, causing everyone to look at him in shock. They had never seen Scott talk like this before. Needless to say is surprised them. After getting over their initial shock, they began to read the article.
WARNING TO ALL TRAINERS AND PEOPLE OF: KANTO, JOHTO, SINNOH, UNOVA, KALOS, OR HOENN! THESE 5 TRAINERS ARE WANTED FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN IN YOUR REGIONS FOR THEIR VARIOUS LEAGUES AND COMPETITIVE REGIMENTS!
Serena Yvonne- Pokemon Abuse and Murder. Kidnapping, thievery.
Clemont Xero- Pokemon Abuse and Murder. Kidnapping, fraud, thievery, constructing various robots for destruction.
-Next was the one that made everyone's eyes widen in shock-
Ash Ketchum-Pokemon Abuse and Murder. Kidnapping, fraud, thievery, murdering Delia Ketchum.
THESE THREE ARE WANTED FOR ABUSE AND MURDER OF NOT ONLY THEIR POKEMON, BUT OTHER POKEMON TOO. AS WELL AS THE KIDNAPPING AND POSSIBLE BRAINWASH BY PSYCHIC TYPE OF MAX MAPLE AND BONNIE XERO. THESE THREE ARE CONSIDERED ARMED AND DANGEROUS. DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO TO ARREST THEM AND SEND THEM TO THE KANTO POLICE FORCE!.
After everyone had read the article, they turned back to look at Scott.
"Scott… this can't be true, can it?" Anabel quizzed as she continued to read the papers.
"Yoish! Of course it's not true! This is just made up by Scott to pull our legs right Scott!" Greta proclaimed as she slammed her hands on the table, obviously unamused. The rest of the frontier brains continued to give their opinions on the matter, obviously all in favor of Ash. After the noise died down, Scott continued to speak
"I hate to say it gang, but it's no lie. There have been recent photos and videos turned in with them having punched or hit their pokemon.-" Scott pulled up videos showing Ash, mainly, punching or kicking his pokemon. "- and about his mother…-" Scott then pulled up a picture of the Ketchum residence, or what was left of it. It was burnt down and there was police tape everywhere.
-WARNING! AWFUL IMAGE ABOUT TO BE PUT IN YOUR HEAD! SKIP UNTIL NOTIFIED IF YOU DON'T WANNA READ! CONTAINS SLIGHT GORE. THIS IS A REASON IT'S RATED T!-
Next was a picture of a body bag…, with Delia in it, and a hole where her heart should be. Everyone gasped at the horrific image of Delia. Not only that. but she was completely scalped, was missing an eye, and had no legs attached to her
OK, CONTINUE READING HERE!
"Ash's finger prints were found on the knife. We can only pray that Delia didn't have to feel any pain…" Scott continued as he took the image down. The Brains had shocked and angry faces on them, as if they wanted to kill.
"Why that little wretch! If I ever get my hands on him I'll rip him to shreds!" Greta shouted as she continued to look at the image on her holograph.
"That goes double for me." Lucy stated.
"To think we ever respected that kid.." Brandon stated in initial shock as he shook his head.
"Now hold on everybody. This is Ash we're talking about! Surely this is a setup!" Spencer rebuttaled, but to his dismay, no one seemed to pay him any mind and completely ignored him, causing him to sigh in dismay.
Anabel couldn't believe what she had just seen and read. To think she ever had a crush on him! She would surely make him pay if she ever got her hands on him!
"And that's everything that happened.." Anabel stated, causing the entire crew to just stare. In horrid shock. Ash was the first to speak up, and it WAS NOT GOOD!.
"Do you mean to tell me.. that those mistakes for people.. KILLED MY MOTHER!" Ash basically screamed, causing everyone to fling, feeling the burst of aura come off of Ash.
"Ash, please calm down man!" Justin tried to reason with Ash, but to no avail.
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! I'LL KILL OAK FOR THIS!" Ash screamed as he started for the door, only to be stopped by Serena.
"Ash, please stop! By attacking Oak, you're only falling for his trap! He wants you to do this! And by doing this, you're only making yourself a murder like those articles said! We'll find a way to make them pay, but this isn't the way!" Serena yelled at Ash to attempt to get him to snap out of his anger. Ash began to calm down before turning to see Anabel, Abel, and the rest of the Crew looked completely terrified by Ash's outburst.
"... Guy's I'm sorry, I just… they killed my mother…" Ash burst into tears after saying that, causing Serena to hug him in attempts to comfort him.
"Ash, trust me, we will make them pay for what they've done. All of them.. That much I can assure you." Clemont said in attempt to comfort his friend as well. The others just remained silent, unsure of what to do in this new situation.
Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door. Justin went to answer it, opening the door to a panting girl.
"Huff, Huff! Are you? Great you are! I'm so glad I was still able to find you!" The girl panted as Justin looked at the girl in confusion.
"Umm, can I help you with something? And how did you even know where I was?" Justin quizzed in confusion as he continued to look at the girl in confusion, before she sprang up and held out a pokeball.
"My name is Aubree, and I challenge you to a battle!" Justin then continued to deadpan to this.
Inside a cafe, Franklin continued to read over the report the man had given him.
Ash Ketchum hm? Dispose? That was something he hadn't done in a while. Wait a minute.. these reports..
Franklin could tell almost immediately that these reports were fake, but just shrugged. Oh well. A job is a job.
