The Civil Wars

by ScholarX

Pokemon were once seen as friends and companions, but not anymore. Now they are seen as war machines. When civil war between the regions began, everything that use to be was gone. Ash Ketchum is no longer a trainer, he is now a soldier. See the war through his eyes. Pokeshipping, Advanceshipping, and Pearlshipping. Rated T for language and violence.

9. Chapter 6

A/N: I do not own Pokemon.

Pow!

My head was forced to one side, as another punch tore across my face. I coughed and spat out blood, before looking back at my interrogators. The two ASHR soldiers, had been using me as a punching bag for half an hour.

"Ready to talk now, you URP scum?" one asked, cracking his knuckles.

I coughed a little. "Up yours."

The second guy growled, before punching me in the stomach again. The impact sent me into another round of bloody coughs.

"Maybe we should get the security Magnemite. Their shock should loosen his tongue."

I glared up at them. They were beating the tar out of me, but at least they weren't using a Machoke or Machamp.

I prepared myself as the interrogator pulled back his arm for another blow, but stopped when the door to the room opened.

General Loki Gremory stepped through the door. "Don't hit him again. I want to talk to him alone, so leave us."

The two men saluted and hurried out the door, but not without shooting me death glares.

General Gremory turned to look at me with a blank look on his face. He may have been second in command under General Palmore, but he was the most feared soldier in the ASHR military. Gremory had been leading the ASHR defense on the frontlines. He was the reason many of our boys didn't come home.

He continued studying me with an expressionless face. He reached into his uniform pocket and pulled out a pair of dog tags; my dog tags.

Gremory rolled them through his fingers. "So you are First Lieutenant Ash Ketchum?" He stated it, more than he asked it.

"So what if I am?" I answered, glaring into his eyes.

He smiled. "No reason. I was just trying to start a conversation. If you don't know who I am, I'm General Loki Gremory; leader of ASHR forces in the field I coughed and spat some more blood on the ground. "So are you going to finish were they left off and try to get me to talk?"

"No."

No?

"I'm know your type. You would rather take a beating from a Onix, then spill information."

I looked back down at the floor. "How did you know?"

"Know what?"

"How did you know about my strike team. How did you know were we would be and when?"

His smile grew wider. "I have my ways, and that's all you need to know. I would be more worried about myself, if I was you."

"Why?"

"Have you ever heard of Infierno Agujero?"

Chills ran down my spine. Infierno Agujero was the worst fear for any prisoner of war. The maximum security prison was a Hell hole, that made the prison we'd taken look like a play pen. Infierno Agujero was located in the heart of ASHR controlled territory. If you didn't die of starvation and escaped, you wouldn't make it very far. The URP had tried to capture it in the past, but never succeeded.

"You are not going to send me there. I'd rather die right here and now."

"That's what President Garth wanted to do. He wanted to have you executed, but I talked him out of it. You would be much more productive as a labor worker, working at Infierno Agujero. Your knowledge will die with you." His smile widened some more. "The OIF is sending ten thousand soldiers to Hoenn. Soon this war will be over, and the URP destroyed. An eye for an eye." He turned his back to me. "Enjoy the rest of your life, as best you can Lieutenant Ketchum." With those words he walked out the room.

XXXXXXXXX

The following day I was loaded onto a transport ship. The guards chained me to the wall in the dark cargo hold of the ship. I don't know how long I was down there. All I could sense, was the constant rocking of the ship. From what I could tell, someone would come down each day, while I was sleeping and leave me a cup of water and salted meat.

Fourteen meals were left, till the ship stopped. The constant swaying of the ship had stopped completely, which meant one thing. We had arrived.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but school has been slowing me down. I also want to work more on my Yugioh GX fanfiction. I won't abandon this story, so don't worry. I'll just not update on it as much. Please add to favorites, follow, and review!
