Torture

"Now will you talk?"

"Never! I will never tell you where our base is!"

Thomas has spent the last half an hour trying to get Meowth to talk about where their base was to try and turn themselves back.

"You WILL tell me or else I might slip and you might lose a paw."

*gulp* "Never…" Meowth said weakly.

Ash got up and saw Thomas with Meowth. He walked up to Thomas and started pushing on his leg.

"Uncle Thomas, what are you doin to the kitty?" Ash said innocently.

Thomas looked down at Ash and yelled, "WHAT DO YOU WANT!"

Ash quivered and took a few steps back.

"I just wanted to know what you were doing…" he said whimpering a few times.

Thomas, after noticing what he did, lowered his tone and said, "I'm just talking with my… 'friend.' Why don't you go and play with your father."

"But he's boooowinggg right now. I want to play with you!" Ash said quickly.

"I SAID GO AND PLAY WITH YOUR FATHER!" Thomas said while pushing Ash back onto his butt.

Ash started getting teary eyed and Thomas realized what he just did.

"No! nononoono! Don't cry! Come on Ash don't cry!"

It was too late to stop it as Ash started bawling. Pikachu woke up and saw Ash crying so he sighed and walked over to him, picked him up, and started rocking him.

"What happened now? Are you hungry again Ash?" Pikachu asked.

Ash shook his head.

"Uncle Thomas was *sniff*bery mean to *sniff* me. He pushed me onto my bottom." Ash said while crying.

"Thomas! Did you push Ash!" Pikachu said while glaring at Thomas.

Thomas, who was still holding Meowth by his throat, just stared at Pikachu and Ash.

"Yes I did."

"Why would you do that to him!" Pikachu yelled.

"Listen to yourself Pikachu! You sound just like his father!" Thomas yelled back.

Pikachu became silent.

"Daddy let's play tag!" Ash said while jumping from Pikachu's arms. "Tag you're it!" Ash said as he tagged Pikachu and sent a small electric shock through the contact.

"Sure."Pikachu replied.

Both Ash and Pikachu ran off to play.

"Now where was I?... Oh yeah! Time to make you talk." Thomas said menacingly.

"I told you! I won't tell you anything." Meowth said with renewed confidence.

Jessie started to wake up.

"So you're willing to sacrifice yourself, but are you will to sacrifice her." Buizel said as he threw Meowth down and walked over to Jessie.

"What are you doing? Get away from me!" Jessie screamed.

Thomas put his claws up to Jessie's jugular.

"Care to talk now?"
