Ash Ketchum: I Found My Destiny.
Chapter 10 - I'm One Step Ahead Of You.
Child's Pov:
Master Giovanni carried me all the way down through the corridors. We were headed to his Office. I wondered why though...probably to talk about his 'Master Plan'...I still don't know what that is though.
Still the longer I'm up here the longer Ash won't be hurt.
Master leans onto his desk. I take the silent order in his eyes and sit down on one of the black chairs. I wait for him to start talking.
But there's nothing but silence.
"So..." He starts.
"Yes Master?"
He looks up to me.
"Child...Maybe you should re-join the Rocket Empire..."
I look up to him in confusion. "I don't understand...You'll let me join again?" If I play my cards right...
"Yes...After all..." He walks towards me and leans down to whisper. "You are my flesh and blood...Therefore it's only right that you inherit my Empire, should anything happen to me..."
Needless to say I was stunned. Me? The ruler of Team Rocket!
"Oh- Master I don't think-"
"Of course you should keep in mind about our number one enemy, Ash Ketchum..."
I shivered at the name.
"Of course Master. Ash Ketchum is dangerous...!" I look to the floor.
I hear him move from his steps and his footsteps walk forward to me. He rustles my hair.
"The enemy is him, not me Child." He says it with so much authority that the only way I could respond is by nodding.
"I understand Master. In the cell Ash was so scary - He tried to kill me!" I feel tears lace at the edge of my eyes.
"Child, when Team Rocket goes to you understand that if I don't get to kill Ketchum than I'm entrusting you to do the job for me. Only you and no-one else..."
I gasp. Kill Ash? Could I really kill a person? Not just anyone this is Ash were talking about! With all my thinking I didn't see his hand move behind the desk.
I decide to ask a question.
"Master what happened to Jessie & James? In the forest?" I say, remembering the incident in the forest before the attack.
He gives me a perplexed look. "Oh that? Well..."
+Flashback: Forest Second's After The Smokescreen Attack+
Smoke was starting to fade away from the twins who now lay deathly still on the floor. Amongst the purple smoke, shadowy black figures walked forward. Two of these figures had bright pink hair that curved all the way to her ankles; the other had short purple hair down to his chin.
"Looks like we did it Jesse!"
"Finally after so long James!"
The figures - now known as Team Rocket Grunts -stopped and stared at the twins on the floor. The older one - Ash - Was still holding onto the girl protectively.
Jesse turned to the lower levelled Grunts.
"You there" She pointed at a random grunt, who had his black cap halfway covering his face. "Go and tie these two up in the truck and then through them into the dungeon back at HQ!"
The nameless Grunt followed the command swiftly with no noise. Jesse and James had there interest in a familiar looking Pokémon. James leant down to pick it up. Jesse gazed in amazement.
"We-we finally have it! We got Pikachu!"
Domino who had been silently watching this ordeal stepped in.
"That's the reason for your pathetic excuses for failing to catch one single Pokémon for Giovanni?" She smirked. This caused her cut lip to start bleeding again. Her bruises from yesterday, yet to heal.
Meowth walked up to Jesse and James. "Shut ya trap Blondie; we've got the prize now!"
Domino just frowned and turned away. Knowing what was going to happen next.
(A/N: I'd type this song into YouTube and listen, it's really cool. It's called Pokémon Live Double Trouble. - Yes the LIVE version since the original is slightly different. Bold is James, Italics is Jessie underlined is all the Rocket's minus Domino.)
Jessie & James:
Prepare for trouble
Make it double
Prepare for trouble
Make it double
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation
James: To unite all peoples within our nation
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love
James: To extend our reach to the stars above
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie & James: Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light
Surrender now, or prepare to fight
Team Rocket's rockin
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you
Team Rocket's rockin
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you
We captured Pikachu!
Jessie: We're Team Rocket and we fight for what's wrong
James: For mayhem and madness and rare Pokémon
Jessie: I'm so gorgeous
James: I'm always the man
Domino had enough of this.
Domino: You're just the players in his master plan!
Jesse: Jealous?
Both girls' glared at each other before Domino turned away again.
Jessie & James:
Team Rocket's rockin
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you
Team Rocket's rockin
Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble
Double trouble, big trouble's gonna follow you
We captured Pikachu!
{Team Rocket's Rockin!}
Jesse and James ended triumphantly holding up an unconscious Pikachu. Domino threw some black car keys which Meowth caught.
"Come on we shouldn't keep Giovanni waiting you idiots!"
And with that they followed the blond back to HQ.
+Flashback End. Back In Giovanni's Office.+
"I see." I reply to the suited man. I look to the huge window that shows skyscrapers.
And that's when I saw it.
I thought it was a trick of the light at first, but I saw a small, kittenish creature fly through one of the clouds.
And that's when I felt it...
The needle.
The needle I failed to spot. Even with all my training here.
The needle...Which would take away all my freedom...
And all I saw was black.
+Giovanni's Pov+
"Jesse and James saw you unconscious on the forest floor after the attack and brought you here."
"I see..."
She turned to the window then. This was my chance. I picked up the gun-like weapon and stabbed it into her neck, before she could even gasp or start a fight, I smirked as I saw the light leave her eyes. The needle quickly injects the lethal liquid into her system. Her pupils fully dilated I let her go and she crashed onto the floor in a silent heap.
I chuckle as I replace the pistol back into one of my drawers; I grab one of the two black collars and placed it firmly around her neck.
I move her fringe away from her forehead. And whisper in her now deaf ears.
"You should have died long ago...You shouldn't even be born..."
A buzz interrupts me.
"Sir? Domino is still reported missing-"
"I don't care! Just carry on and do your job Suzanne!"
"Yes Sir."
I look back up to the window. (A/N: This song creeped me out the first time I heard it! Really! Type this on YouTube and listen in! It's called Pokémon Live You & Me & Pokémon - Reprise. And Giovanni really sings it!)
One more, won't be much longer...
Till my...plan is complete.
One fight, then after that.
You'll all be at my feet.
I look back to the girl.
One hand, ruling and crushing the planet.
Each day is mine to run!
You'll live to serve your Master.
My reign has just begun!
My world, you and me, my Pokémon...
We'll beat one more Pokémon...
My laughter once more echoed throughout the halls of the HQ.
(A/N: And another chapter is done! Were nearly at the end of this story now folks!
But what will happen now? Dun-dun dunnnnn! All this and Ash still has no clue what's happening to his sister! And where the heck has Domino got too? (If you read the story summary then you can probably guess!)
Hey readers! Another riddle?
What did the girl see?
Next chapter back to Delia and co! Oh and if you haven't put together the name of the girl yet then don't worry she'll be revealed next chapter! You'll hit yourself once you read her name! After all she IS my OC.)
