Ash Ketchum: I Found My Destiny.

Chapter 8 - Catch That Kid!

+Set Minutes After The End Of The Child's Dream In Chapter 2 (10 Years Ago.)+

Giovanni's Pov:

After the experiment she was afraid. Afraid of me.

I see her there now. She's sitting in the chair. The metal clamps now released. It takes me a minute to realise she's still crying. I sigh and make my way up to her. She hears my footsteps and tries to look up but is too tired, she can't meet my eyes anyway.

I say no words as I release the metal clamps from her tiny wrists. She tries to turn her body away from mine but collapses onto my chest. I frown, she's creased it. I'll have to pay for a new suit later!

I roll her into my arms and head outside the voltage area. The Professor whimpers behind a chair trying not to get into eye-contact. A wise decision...

Two Rocket Grunts, who guard the door, open up the door for me. Out of the corner of my eye I notice a look of confusion upon the two, as soon as I stop walking out though the door they shiver and return to their frozen, robot-like state. With an added sweat drop. I continue onwards.

Tapping of my black shoes fill the dim corridor. I carry my Child to her room and dump her onto her bed. Not caring if I left her in a painful position or not. I lock up the cells bar door and quickly leave.

I return to my office where just a few days ago I had received news I had long been awaiting for.

+Flashback 3 Day's Ago.+

Giovanni's Pov:

"Sir here are the bio-files you asked for." Said a young woman with mint hair.

"Good." I take the folder and skim through the writing. "Are you sure these are correct?" I ask, to the Rocketer's in the room.

"Yes Sir. It's all correct." Say's the one with mint hair.

"Delia Hanako went into labour 4 years ago." Continues a man with light green hair.

The doors open. A familiar duo arrives.

"It seems she's been living in Pallet Town..." Starts Cassidy.

"Under the name of, get this!- Delia Ketchum!" Ends Butch.

"It's better than your name Biff." Jokes the Grunt with Mint hair.

"Hey! It's BUTCH!"

"It's not what Domino say's! Bill!" Replies the man with light green hair. The rest of the Grunt's laugh at him.

I notice Cassidy's eyes dimmer with Domino's name. I cough to remind them that there still in the presence of me. They all stand in a row with their arms by their side.

"So she's been hiding in Pallet Town..." The last place I'd look for her, she's probably gone back with her Mother...

"And been going under the name of Delia Ketchum. And her child has that name I presume?" I get mixed emotions of Delia using my name, should I feel happy? Anger?

Cassidy nods. "Yes Sir, we have pictures of the kid."

I immediately get intrigued. Butch passes the pictures to me. I shuffle through them.

The shots aren't that good as Butch & Cassidy were still spying on them when there were taking the pictures. The pictures include a 4 year old boy running around what seemed to be a back garden. Most of the pictures show his back, most of them include Delia's arm spinning him. I pause on one picture. It shows Delia spinning a kid around in the air - both with smiles on their faces...

I smile gently, it seems that there happy...I'll soon stop that. In the background I notice a figure sitting on Delia's porch. I squint my eyes to get a closer look and freeze once I notice who the figure is.

Samuel Oak - My so called 'friend' from long ago. He was too kind-hearted to be my friend for much longer so I eventually lost touch with him. He said he'd be my business partner but when he changed paths to become a Pokémon Professor I got my revenge with his...daughters husband...

Let's just say I wanted to get rid of his daughter first but when I received news that she had died in childbirth I went for her husband.

Hey at least I was merciful with his grandkid!

"Is there anything you like us to do further Sir?" I look up and give them a menacing smile.

"No, I think I'll enjoy doing this job for myself."

They nod and leave the office; I still hear them teasing Butch from halfway down the corridor.

I turn around in my chair.

"Kid, I think I'm going to enjoy killing you..."

+Flashback End+

Of course that was before I actually went to Delia's house. I look back to the closed door which leads to my daughter's cell.

WHY! WHY I'VE BEEN GOOD! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO ANYTHING WRONG! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS."

I remember when Delia said something similar like that, the last time we met...

I remember that day; it was only just a few days ago...

+Flashback 2 Day's Delia's House.+

Giovanni's Pov:

My limousine had just parked outside a fairly normal looking-house.

"This is it Sir. The Ketchum residence." My chauffer tells me.

"Good. Wait here till I come back."

"Very good Sir."

He turns the engine off as I get out of the limo. Tapping of my shoes is all that's heard as I make my way up the path.

I reach her door. I wonder what her reaction will be...Will she scared, or happy I'm here?...

The door opens, and there in all her glory is Delia Hanako. She looks into my eyes and let's out tears which fall onto her cheeks. I give a menacingly grin.

"Long time no see...Delia Ketchum..."

+Present Day. Team Rocket Cell #0458+

The moon shines like a huge dinner plate; star's dancing around it in the midnight sky.

Some of this beautiful yet cold moonlight creeps in through the metal window bars and onto the harsh steel floor.

Child's Pov:

I look up and see that were both been chucked into this cell. Ash still hasn't woken up yet and remains in his painfully thrown position on the further corner of the cell. His face is scrunched up in pain. His hands are empty and I have no idea where Pikachu was taken. In my hands I hold firmly the envelope that I forgot to read, the older aged one with creases.

I look away. It's my fault his in this pain. "I'm so sorry for all of this Ash..." I sigh and turn my gaze once more to the stars. I can feel my cap is filled with sweat and my clothes a bit moist but I didn't care. I was free, free for a few days but those days I will never forget.

...And Ash. I'll never forget Ash. Team Rocket taught me Ash was a human capable of much damage to the Rocket Empire. Team Rocket had taught me that Ash was a bad guy, a dangerous villain and that we were helping people by trying to take him down. So much trouble had been caused by a ten - now fourteen year old boy and his Pikachu.

I smile gently. Dangerous? Bad guy? When Ash first met me in the forest he was afraid of me! He helped me when he found my fear instead of using it against me - a skill Rockets come with naturally. He even protected me when he thought Dragonite was going to hurt us; he stood up for me when the Rocket's attacked! He even tried to fight them!

I can feel myself smiling brighter thinking of Ash, I turn to see how his doing but what I see scares me. Ash is now crouched up, his back leaning on the cell wall, and he has a scowl on his face, even from here I can see that his eyes have darkened. When did he silently shuffle like that! I move back, for a second I swear that I'm looking at Master Giovanni instead of Ash Ketchum! I gulp and try to find my voice.

"W-w-hy are you staring at me like that?" I try to say it like a threat but it comes out as a feeble question.

His scowl instantly disappears and is replaced by a gentle smile and his eyes are now filled with his childish naiveness.

"How long was I out?" He quietly asks as to not startle me.

"I...I'm not sure...I'm sorry Ash I don't know." I look down at the floor; I can't stand to see his upset face right now.

I hear a hearty chuckle from the other end of the cell.

"Well at least were alive now!" He says happily. Why is he so happy? How can he? We were just kidnapped, thrown in a cell and his Pikachu's missing and all he can do is laugh it off?

"Err..." I smartly reply. "Are you okay?" Maybe that gas attack did him some damage...

"Oh I'm fine." He quickly says without missing a beat. His eyes have now darkened once more. "Come here I need to show you something..."

I reluctantly shuffle towards him slowly. My habit of following and to obey orders still seems to be unbroken. He reaches into his jacket pocket and starts to slowly pull something out.

If he really was Master Giovanni then this would be the part where he pulls his gun out and shoots someone...

I look to what he has to show me and only 3 words escape my mouth.

"Holy Fricken Shit!"

(A/N: Yes, yes I know it's another one of those darn cliff-hangers! Hehe, you only need to look at my pen-name to see why I put them in! =D

The next chapter will hopefully answer all your questions! But until then! =D

Oh and you know I'm not the kind of author who will only publish a new chapter if they reach a certain number of reviews but if you do R&R it DOES help! ^_~)
