Flashback.
Grunt: Boss, there's an intruder.
Giovanni: who is it?
Grunt: An outsider. A little brat with extremely powerfull Pokemon, though'. He's already beaten many of us and is out on the 9th floor as we speak
Giovanni: Make sure you send Gracie. We'll make sure she 'loses' the Card Key as she will make a run for it. I want to see what exactly we're dealing with here.
Grunt: But boss.. Gracie is still in training, she isn't ready to deal with a trainer this powerful..
Giovanni: You ignorant fool! Did I not make myself clear enough?
Grunt: I don't quit get what you're getting at, sir..
Giovanni: SEND GRACIE! I need her to lose, so that kid can make its way up here with the Card Key he finds after defeating her! Now, get out of my office.
Grunt: .. Certainly, sir!
Red: Are you the leader of Team Rocket?
Giovanni: I certainly am. And you must be the intruder I heard so much about.
Red: Look, I don't want to get any serious trouble, but I must stop you.
Giovanni: Now, isn't that adorable? A 10-year old making his demands toward a 31-year old man..
Red: ..
Giovanni: You won't get away with the mayhem you've caused. Besides.. I could make good use of your capacaties. You must be a talented trainer if you made it this far, I must say. But playtime's over, kid!
Giovanni: This can't be! Impossible! You're a kid! An ignorant child!
Red: .. Giovanni: I won't accept defeat! You will pay for this! [Snaps fingers and turns his back to Red as two Grunts grab him] Take him to cellar B.
Get him out of my sight, this instant!
Grunts: Right away, sir! [Take Red with them]
Red: .. Hey! Let go of me! Where are you taking me?!
Grunt: [Punches Red in the face] SHUT UP! You humiliated our boss!
Red: .. Please, let me go..
Grunt #2: Are you deaf? He said; SHUT THE FUCK UP! [pushes Red against the metal door]
Hold still!
Grunt: [Takes keychain, opens door] Get in there, brat! [Pushes Red into cellar]
Grunt #2: You should've never meddelled in with Team Rocket, kid. You should've kept your nose where it belonged.
Red: [Sniffs]
Grunt: Aw, won't you look at that, Brad. He's doing what all kids do, he's crying!
Grunt #2 : [Laughs, kicks Red in the back] Stop it, you!
Red: [Falls onto his knees, keeps sobbing]
Grunt: .. I know a way to make him shut up. You grab his arms!
Grunt #2: [Holds Red's arms behind Red's head, stabs knee into the arch of his spine]
Red: .. No! What are you doing? Don't hurt me! PLEASE !
Grunt: I'm gonna make you shut up! [Rolls up sleeves, smirks]
Grunt: Hey, kid! Wake up! You get one bottle of water, better treasure it..
Red: [Stares at the ground, sobs]
Grunt: Are you going to keep hiding in that corner? Suit yourself, I'll put the bottle right over here. [Leaves and locks door again]
Red: [Crawls toward water bottle, opens it and spills the water onto his wounds]
Giovanni: He has some interesting Pokemon.. An extraordinairy Pikachu on hand..
Grunt: Boss.. Brad and Casey really had their way with him. He's bruised all over.
Giovanni: He deserves nothing less! Did you bring him his liquid?
Grunt: I did, sir. But I must inform you, he did not drink it. He used it to cleanse his wounds instead..
Giovanni: Did he say anything?
Grunt: Nothing at all, sir. He was hiding in the corner, sir. Avoiding coming near me as we speak.
Giovanni: [Smirks] Very well then.
Girl: LET GO OF ME! What are you doing? Why are you undressing me? AUW! [cries]
Red: [Walks toward cellar door, puts ear against the metal]
Grunt: Shut up, you annoying piece of shit and open up your legs!
Girl: NO! AAHH! PLEASES STOP! PLEASE ... A-A-AAAAHH! YOURE HURTING MEE!
Grunt: [hits her hard in the face] KEEP QUIET YOU WASTE OF A LIFE!
Red: [Hears bloodcurdling screams, he pushed himself onto the ground via his back, facing the door with his back, arms wrapped around his knees,
rocking back & forth]
Giovanni: [Opens door, stands in doorway, arms crosed] Rise and shine, kid. Today we are going to have a little talk. [Snaps fingers, and starts walking toward his office as his Grunts grab Red and drag him along]
Giovanni: [Enters office, sits down]
Have a seat.
Grunt: [Shoves Red onto the chair, goes back to stand at the doorway with the other Grunt]
Giovanni: My, my .. You've been beaten up quit well. I hope it whiped that confident smirk right of your face! [Lights cigar, nods as a Grunt hands him an ashtray]
Red: .. [Shivers]
Giovanni: Where are my manners? You've been staying with us for a couple of days now and we haven't introduced eachother properly yet. Your name is?
Red: ...
Giovanni: Lost your ability to speak, youngster? [Snaps fingers]
Grunt: [Hands Giovanni Red's bag]
Giovanni: [Looks for trainer card]
Ah, here it is.. I see. So your name is Red. [Walks toward Red, face inches away from Red's]
Well, mine's Giovanni. But I don't fear you ever forgetting my name or face. I'll make sure of that! You WILL regret ever setting foot in this Hide-out!
Mom: So did you guys have fun?
Red: [Grabs fork, pierces some of the beef stew]
Mom: Red, hun?
Red: [Puts down fork]
Mom: Aren't you hungry, sweetie? You should eat, though'..
Red: Mom.. What exactly happened after you got pregnant?
Mom: Excuse me? Now what kind of question is that?
Red: I think I asked a perfectly normal question.
Mom: Why do you want to know? I thought we closed that chapter long time ago.
Red: No, mom. byou/b closed that chapter, not me.
Mom: It's not really that relevant. Now, lets eat.
Red: I find it rather relevant. I'm asking you about my father, I have the right to know why he isn't a part of our lives.
Mom: Isn't the fact that he isn't reason enough to not wonder?
Red: No, on the contrary, mom. I'm 17 years old, I'm no longer a child.
Mom: I never implied you were, hun.. [Sighs]
Red: So .. Are you ever gonna tell me? Or are you gonna keep it from me for another 10 years?
Mom: Red, I really do not want to discuss that matter.
Red: What's his name? Will you at least tell me what he's called?
Mom: Red, Drop it!
Red: Seriously? Fine then. I'm moving out. There's no need for me to be here any longer. I can't live with a mother who keeps secrets for me.
Mom: Red.. don't make hasty descisions.
Red: I've been thinking about it for quite a while, mom. I'm accepting the invitation to go to the Unova region and I'll find a place to stay there.
Mom: You've been home for approximatly 2 months .. and you are leaving yet again?
Red: It's for the best I leave Pallet Town, or the Kanto region for that matter.. This region only keeps the nightmares alive.
Mom: What nightmares?
Red: Nevermind mom. I'm going for a walk, tonight I'm gonna pack and I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.
Mom: Red, sweetie, please. Don't go..
Red: Call it puberty, mom. I'm angry and I won't be able to face you without breaking you down. I want to avoid such things. [Throws bag over his shoulder]
Mom: Oh.. Honey.. [Hugs Red, kisses his forehead]
Red: Goodbye for now, mom. I'll miss you. Come on, Pika. Let's go.
Green: Heya bud! Great that you decided to go after all! You won't regret it!
Red: Is Leaf going as well?
Green: She will be getting a ride from Bill's friend. He has a boat of his own.
Red: [Nods] I guess, this is it then. Farewell Kanto..
Green: [Follows Red as he gets on board]
Red: [Sees his mom waving at him in the distance, sighs]
Why won't you tell me, mother?
Green: [Walks throug hallways, looking for cabin] Here it is! Green and Red from Pallet. This is gonna be our little place for the time we are on board, pal'.
So we better get allong. [Winks, opens door]
Red: [Throws bag onto the bed, looks out of the window] It'll work out..
Green: Hey, Red? I've been thinking about what you said earlier..
Red: Hmm?
Green: Do you really consider the possibility of Giovanni being your father?
Red: I don't even know what to believe anymore..
Green: .. Maybe we could let the topic rest for now. [Starts unpacking his stuff]
Red: How did Mr. Walton react when you left this morning?
Green: He saluted me and reassured me that if any visitors would come by, he'd tell them that the Ikido family isn't in.. Butlers..
Red: At least the man cares for you.
Green: Red.. Your mom loves you very dearly. Maybe .. it isn't that easy for her as well to think back to the past..
Red: The fuck would I care? She's my mother, she owes me to explain me who my father is.
Green: I'm thinking about getting the start Pokemon Snivy. What about you? Are going for one?
Red: [Sleeps, breathing heavily, Pika resting on his stomach]
Green: [Smiles]
End Part 4.
