Crimson/Red

Chpt. 3

"You mean you've really never heard of Brock?" Misty said rolling her eyes to Ash, I knew you were hopeless but you don't even know the gym leaders! Misty face had disbeif written all over it aggrevating Ash more then anything else she had done to him.

"Yeah! So! Lots of people don't know the gym leaders!" Ash barked to her cutting in front of her, his fist tightened and their iritated eyes locked together, but soon they cut off as Misty shoved him out of her way walking like she was better then him.

"You've got alot to learn, Ass..." she growled walking faster, a smirk cut across her face making Ash's tempature rise as he once more shot in front of her.

"My name is Ash! And who the hell said you could tag along!" rolling her eyes again she shoved him out of her way once more, her eyes scanning the area.

"Listen, Ashley..." her angery voice cutting through Ash like fire,"Until you buy me a new bike...your stuck with me kid," her voice instantly calmed as her eyes scanned the woods harder,"Now where is the road we have to take...Uh-huh! There it is...come on Ass we need to get there before sundown!"

She swiftly began to walk through the tall grass in her new found leadership, Ash grobiling behind her,"My name is Ash! Ash! Ash! And who said you could come with me or that I was buying you anything! Hey! Your not listening to me!" he yelled to her, running to catch up, Pikachu letting out a loud harsh sigh on his head.

.....

"You know that boy from last night Jesse?" James said with disbeilf, staring at the self proclaimed leader of the group who glared back at him.

"He told me there was a rare Pokemon he held and if I robbed the Poke Center sucessfully, it would be my reward! How was I suppose to know he was apart of team Rocket or it was a life or death cituation!" she barked the last line with dispair, meowth sighing beside her.

"Yeah well how are you going to get us out of this mess, Oh Mighty One!" Meowth barked coarsely,"We have until 6 0' clock tonight before he comes back to kill us!"

"He said train," James said with confindence making his friends glare to him, making him duck as they chucked things at him.

"It doesn't matter because the both of you are idiots and are going to get us killed!" his claws flinging forth slicing into their flesh,"We're gonna die and it's all your falt!"

"I'll show you! You little hair ball!" Jesse hands were wrapped around his throat, James trying to calm them but giving up with a sigh.

"Rai! Rai! Rai!" an orange rat like pokemon laughed at them from the light stand he was perched upon making Meowth growl in anger.

"What do you want you little vermin!" Meowth yelled shaking his fist to him, but a few words from the Raichu made him pale.

"What did it say Meowth?" Jesse asked curriosly her eyes wandering to the animal staring back at her.

"He says he's come to make sure you don't back down on my master..." he acclaimed nervously gulping down his words.

....

''Hey Ass!" Ash growled eyes shooting toward Gary's gloating figure, striding toward him, his brown hair perfectly spiked in one bunch on his head, his usual purple long tee shirt and jeans and only naturally the crowd of groupies cheering his name in an orgasmic fasion.

"Who's the guy? He's kinda cute..." Misty said smirking to Ash's deepening scowl,"Well cuter then you but not my darling Red."

"Gary...'' Ash growled,"My name is Ash!"

"Well,well...I beat this gym no time at all and your just arriving!" the cheers for Gary got louder and Ash's scowl deepend.

"Yeah well...I got side tracked," Gary smirked to that but it faded when Ash added,"Beating Team Rocket that is..."

The Cheerleaders all began to gasp when Gary yanked out his Pokeball,"Let's have a quick battle then huh? To see how good you are..."

....

"Yes..." a raspy voice said into the phone,"Of course..."

There was a slight pause and the boy in the phone booth let out a soft sigh,"Of course I've heard of them...I guess it is... possible..."

His head rapped lightly on the side of wall to the other's imense demands to what most would have pronounced impossible, with nothing else to comply to he simply stated,"Yes and your scientist will be close by? Of course then..."

Then with another short pause he complied,"No of course not..." and a low bang echoed in the booth as he hit the phone against the reciever. He shook his head softly shutting the door to the phone booth, this was the only time he was actual tinged with curiosity and slight excitement to do a job.

....

Misty really wondered who this kid was trying to fool, his Pikachu was getting beaten by a squirtle! Her hand hit her forhead at the kid's ignorance, she wanted to scream change Pokemon but then again, what could that butterfree do if Pikachu his stronger of the two couldn't win? This was just sad, she about fell over as a stream of bubbles knocked over poor Pikachu. She didn't know what to think of this as Gary's whores began chanting his name flinging themselves on top of him at the finishing blow.

"Huh! Once a loser always a loser!" Gary acclaimed as Ash fell to the ground like dead carcuss,Misty shaking her head in every growing disbelief,"Smell ya later Ass!"

With one last gloating look to Ash before turnig away fading behind the rising buildings, only the faint chants of 'Gary! Gary!' were left to impact Ash's wound of failure.

"Oh get up already...." Misty barked kicking him hard in the inside making him grunt,"The gym's not far from here, so we'll just stop by the center first and heal your Pikacu and be on our way there so we can get out of this horrid town once and for all..."

Misty was practically dragging him at this point, the stench of horrid failure leaving a trail all the way there.

....

All was silent. Not unexpected from a museum about stones, but that was just fine for the white haired man in the black suit, the quiet was just fine for him as he stared at the stones behind the glass.

Unkown to him a dark silhouete creeping through the shadows cast upon the wall a small smirk slithering across his lips.

....

The gym was boring as usual, Brock sat on his pedestal sipping softly from his tea. He hated being a gym leader! It never gave him the time he needed to train, all he did all day was take challenges and loose, day and day out. He sighed taking a deep sip from his tea as yet again the doors swung open and another trainer emerged before him. A puff of air shot from his mouth as the young trainer asked him for a battle to win the badge.
