It has been a week since Shino was killed and Aurora is still taking it rather hard.

The funeral for him is in Purgatory and only a select few are invited. Akurei, Diego, Inferno, Paul, Sparx, Slash, Aurora, Delilah, Maurice and Guadalupe, Ash and Jesse, Chief Tendo and family, Karen's father, Prof. Willow, and a few other people.

The service is held at Shino's home and he is laid to rest next to Karen. Akurei whispers something to the minister and the minister nods.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this may seem weird but I have been asked to perform a wedding at this time. (He flips through his Bible to the right page and clears his throat.) Dearly beloved we are gathered here today under a very unusual circumstance. We have laid a very dear friend to rest and last year we laid another very dear friend to rest. These two loved each other very deeply and their lives were cut short before they could have their wedding. So it is with a heavy heart that I pronounce Shino and Karen husband and wife." The minister says.

Everyone claps as Akurei puts Shino's ring next to Karen's ring.

"See you in hell, my friend." Akurei whispers.

Aurora breaks down again and Delilah consoles her. Everyone stands there quietly paying their respects.

"Never thought you would of gone out like that. I thought for sure you would of taken the world with you, man." Maurice says.

*****************************

(To clear any confusion about this. This Maurice is not the Maurice from the Fuschia city incident. This is Shino's best friend from the first story. Which is also on my site. Go to my archives and click page 9 to read the start of it.)

*****************************

After several minutes, everyone slowly walks back to Shino's house.

Scizor watches silently from a tree above the graves.

Outside the house, there are two large groups of people. The group closest to the house are people mourning the loss of Shino, while the group across the street are people partying because of it.

While everyone tries to eat something Aurora grabs Diego and slams him against the wall.

"Look here, ice boy, I know you have a highly advanced intelligence system that knows everything that goes on so tell me everything about the bastard that did this to Shino!" Aurora demands.

"I have nothing. My people are working around the clock and have found nothing. I'm sorry." Diego replies.

Akurei wraps his arms around Aurora before she can do anything else.

"Just calm down. Beating Diego to a bloody pulp won't do anything. So just sit down and calm down." Akurei says and sits her down on a chair.

"Shino once told me that if he was ever killed by someone we were not to retaliate against that person. I always brushed it off as nonsense, but now that he is gone, I am finding rather difficult to keep my anger under control. I feel just like Aurora does. But I have to remember what he told me. It's very hard not to blow up on someone." Maurice says.

Delilah holds Aurora tightly as she starts sobbing again. Akurei looks at Ash then Diego and then the other brothers before grabbing Ash and walking out of the room.

"I know everything. Don't worry we won't tell anyone. As far as we are concerned Shino treated you like family and we will to. If you ever need anything and I mean anything at all give us a call." Akurei says.

Ash stands there shocked.

"How? I made sure no one followed me." Ash says.

"I was there." Scizor says walking in.

"...... (gulp)" Ash says swallowing hard.

"Don't worry. No one will harm you. Just don't tell anyone. Ever." Akurei says.

"He told me before we went to Roseville that he was just going to "let nature take its course." When you want to learn the truth, read that second envelope." Scizor says before going in to the other room.

Akurei and Ash follow him in as well.

After an hour or so, Aurora stands and leaves. A moment later there are screams outside. Everyone rushes to the windows to see what's going on.

Aurora is beating the hell out of the people celebrating Shino's death.

"Who's celebrating now?" Aurora says laughing in the middle of several unconscious and bloodied people.

She walks back in the house and lays down on the couch where she quickly falls asleep.

That night as everyone heads their separate ways Celebi lands in the tree next to Scizor.

"Did he read it yet?" He asks.

"Not yet." Scizor replies.

*****************************

In a hotel room, Ash sits in the bathroom on the edge of the tub with the second envelope in his hands.

He carefully pulls it out and reads, "Ash, if you are reading this then I am burning in hell. How's that for not sounding so cliched? Anyway, I want to let you know, I bear you no ill will for what you did. You stuck up for the woman you love and I respect you for that. What you did took a lot of courage to actually pull it off. I'm not sure if you have talked to Celebi before reading this but if you haven't I want to tell you that night Jesse ended up in my bed, we didn't do anything. I was dreaming of Karen and spent the whole night hugging her and crying. You tell anyone and I will have to haunt you. Scizor has a key for you. Just ask him for it when you see him again. Its for a safety deposit box. You'll like what's inside. You and Jesse will never have to work again. Ash, I may have never shown it but you were like family to me. If anyone ever gives you shit call Akurei. He will be there whenever you need him. Its kind of weird writing this to you knowing I am going to die. Its actually kind of scary. I don't know how to describe this. I know Aurora is taking this pretty bad so don't tell her you did it. Let Akurei or Diego handle it. One last thing, I was going to give you my pokemon but, Celebi wanted them so instead I am giving you my trailer. Its already at your house. Well I have some other things to tie up before I leave this world. Take care of yourself and remember, don't change. You will do just fine the way you are. Later, Shino."

Ash drops the letter and buries his face into his hands.

"So you were the one who did it?" Jesse says standing in the bathroom doorway.

"Yea.... Do you hate me for it?" Ash asks not looking at her.

"No. I am just surprised and a little impressed actually. I never thought you would of gone to such great lengths for me." Jesse replies sitting next to him.

"When I found out you snuck out of our room to go for his it hurt me tremendously and to find out now that he cried in your arms all night. I think I may of made a major mistake." Ash says fighting back the tears.

"From what I can tell in this letter, he doesn't seem like you did." Jesse says.

"Right before I shot him, he said something and for the life of me I can't remember what it was." Ash says.

"For now just put it all out of your mind and come back to bed. We can talk more in the morning." Jesse says.

All night long Ash replayed the events of the night he shot Shino and each time Shino mouth moves but no sound comes out.

*****************************

The next morning Aurora and her brothers are having breakfast when Ash and Jesse walk in.

"I'm glad you two made it. I have an announcement." Aurora says.

Her brothers roll their eyes.

"I want you to find the mother fucker that shot him and bring him to me alive. Is that understood?" Aurora says in almost a growl.

"Didn't you hear what I said yesterday?" Maurice says, "He wouldn't want that. He knew someday someone would get the best of him and that day came. There is no point in holding a grudge against the guy. It will only hurt you in the long run." Maurice sits down with Guadalupe.

"He's right. I'm sure all of us are feeling just the way you are and wish we could do something. But beating the guy responsible to death won't solve anything." Guadalupe says hugging Aurora tightly.

Aurora is quiet for several minutes before breaking down again.

Shortly after eating Ash excuses himself and leaves.

Down the street Scizor walks up to him and hands him a key.

"I don't know what to say to you." Ash says.

"(heavy sigh) Don't worry about it. I knew my days in the sun would end sometime. I just never thought it would end this way. Now that you are alone, I have to say I have an overwhelming urge to slay you, but I must respect my master's orders and not. Take care of yourself, Ash. Who knows we may meet again." Scizor says and leaps into the bushes.

Ash is about to say something but Scizor is long gone. Someone taps Ash on the shoulder and he turns around.

"Greetings." Celebi says.

"Hi." Ash says startled.

"We need to talk." Celebi says and leads Ash away.

Standing in front of the diner, Aurora watches everything and then slowly goes back inside looking over her shoulder at Ash and Celebi as she does.

"Hmmmm." She says.

Friday, July 31, 2009

As the sun sets, Shino and Scizor walk into Saffron. It has been a couple days since they left Roseville and his leg has completely healed up.

"We'll find a spot to sleep tonight and go for the badge tomorrow." Shino says.

"Sounds good to me." Scizor says yawning.

They head to a hotel and get the suite on the top floor. Shino stands on the balcony overlooking the city. He sighs heavily and goes back inside.

*****************************

"I wonder where Ash is?" Jesse says looking at the moon out her window.

She is still in Fuschia waiting for Ash.

*****************************

Laying down on his bed and staring at his ceiling, Ash sighs.

There are pictures all over the bed and floor of him and Jesse. He sighs again and holds one up.

"Where are you?" Ash asks and falls asleep.

The next morning, Ash gets up and gets dressed. He pushes the elevator button and waits. The doors open and Ash just stands there, shocked.

"Ash?" Shino says surprised.

Before Ash answers the doors close and the elevator heads downstairs. Ash stands there filled with mix emotions. Several minutes go by before Ash snaps back to reality.

"It couldn't of been." Ash says and shakes his head.

*****************************

Shino meets Scizor at the Gym and says, "Guess who I saw on the way over here?"

"Who?" Scizor replies.

"Ash." Shino says.

"Really?" Scizor says.

The two of them head inside and sit down on a bench.

There are several trainers before them and in a matter of minutes they are up.

"Let's make this quick." Sabrina says standing in her battle box.

"I agree. I have some errands to run." Shino replies.

Sabrina looks over and laughs a little.

"What brings the Great Shinogami to my humble gym?" Sabrina asks and walks over.

"I am an official Kanto Region Pokemon Trainer." Shino replies.

"Oh yeah, I remember reading about that." Sabrina replies and hands him the badge.

"What? No fight?" Shino replies taking the badge.

"I don't want my pokemon killed or my gym burned down." Sabrina says, "Just take it and go on. Try to leave Saffron in one piece. We don't need another Fuschia incident."

Shino laughs a little bit and leaves.

"You go do what you want. I got some errands to run. I'll see you back at the hotel." Shino says and heads towards downtown.

Around midnight, Shino is standing on a bridge staring up at the full moon. Someone sneaks up behind him and jams a gun into his back.

Shino whispers something and three shots ring out through the night. Shino falls to the ground and blood pours from the gunshot wounds. He is still staring at the moon as he draws his last breath.

*****************************

Back in Fuschia, a delivery man knocks on Jesse's door and when she answers, hands her a package.

She opens it and sees a beautiful evening gown and a small note.

"Saffron. Tomorrow." Is all the note says.

Jesse packs her bags and is on the next bus to Saffron.

*****************************

The following morning everyone is in a state of shock.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. If you are just tuning in, you have not heard that the Great Shinogami has been killed. Sometime late last night someone gunned him down on the bridge over Soul Creek. The police have the entire area sealed off. They are looking for anyone who may have information on the person or group responsible. If you have any information, please call the number on the screen below." The news reporter says.

*****************************

Aurora collapses to the ground crying as she hears the news about Shino. Delilah wraps her arms around Aurora, holding her tightly.

In the hotel room next door, Akurei, Diego, Sparx, Paul, Slash, and Inferno sit quietly around a table listening to their sister scream and cry just next door. None of them can do anything to console her so they sit there.

Akurei looks around and finally says, "Get your bags packed. We are headed to Saffron."

*****************************

Jesse arrives in Saffron and heads straight for the address written on a piece of paper given to her by Celebi.

She walks into the hotel and goes to the room listed on the slip of paper and knocks on the door. A few seconds later the door opens and her bags drop to the ground. Her vision becomes blurred from the tears and falls to her knees.

Ash stands there shocked, seeing Jesse crying before him. He drops to his knees and hugs her tightly. For almost an hour they are kneeling in the doorway hugging.

Scizor clears his throat and they both jump.

"Glad to see you two found each other. Here." Scizor says and hands Ash two envelopes.

Ash takes them and Scizor waves over his shoulder as he walks back to the elevators.

"Thanks." Ash says.

"Don't thank me. Shino is responsible for getting you two back together. See you around." Scizor says and the doors close.

*****************************

The news of Shino's death has a very mixed reaction. There are people who are partying because of it and then there are those who are mourning it.

*****************************

Ash opens the first envelope and sees a small note.

"Ash, If you are reading this then you have found Jesse or she has found you. You have dinner reservations at the restaurant called "Shang re La." Its the fanciest restaurant in all of Kanto. Your tux is waiting downstairs for you. Don't worry about paying everything is all set up and paid for so go crazy. Consider this a thank you gift and a I'm sorry gift. You two really do deserve each other. Have fun and remember go crazy tonight."

Ash starts crying and holds Jesse tighter.

They finally go inside and get changed for dinner.

When they arrive at the restaurant it is red carpet service. There is a line of celebrities waiting to get in but Ash and Jesse are ushered right in ahead of everyone.

"Why is everyone being made to wait outside?" Ash asks.

"The entire restaurant was rented out for you two." A waiter says seating them in the middle of the restaurant.

For several hours they sit there and just eat and talk.

*****************************

On a plane Akurei and his siblings are headed for Saffron. Aurora is still sobbing when Akurei's phone goes off.

"Hey Tendo. What's up?...... Yeah, we heard about it this morning. Aurora is taking it pretty hard........ Alright. Thanks. You take care." Akurei says and hangs up.

"What was that about?" Diego asks.

"Tendo just wanted to assure me that none of his men were responsible for what happened to Shino." Akurei replies.

"I see." Diego says.

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Several days have passed since the IJF incident and life has returned to normal in Fuschia. Just as Akurei said, no one remembers anything that happened involving Jarro or even Jarro himself. Its as if he never existed.

Jesse left the day after the incident to try and find Ash, while Shino rests his badly broken leg.

*****************************

"There. Now in a couple days that leg should be good as new." Celebi says wiping his hands.

"Thanks. When it does then I can get this trip over with and go back home." Shino says laying back on the couch.

"Now that sounds good." Scizor says.

"I have a question for you. (Shino looks at him.) Now that you know the truth, what will you do?" Celebi asks.

"Nothing. I am just going to let nature take its course." Shino replies.

*****************************

A week and a half passes since the incident and Jesse is roaming through the woods between Fuschia and Saffron looking for Ash who is currently on the bullet train heading for Goldenrod.

*****************************

Shino grabs his sunglasses and heads out the door for the gym.

"Scizor, today I am giving you the option on how you want to beat the gym leader." Shino says stretching his arms.

"I feel like dragging it out." Scizor replies.

They walk up to the gym and go inside.

The inside looks like a martial arts dojo. Along one side of the field are several kneeling students and in the middle of field two more a fighting.

"This is interesting." Scizor says.

"Can I help you?" A woman says walking up to them.

"Yes, I am here to take the badge from the Gym Leader. Would you please tell him?" Shino replies.

In a split second the woman is behind Shino with a kunai knife pointed right at his throat.

"I am the gym leader and you're a deadman." She replies.

"Is the so?" Shino says and grabs her wrist to prevent the kunai knife from going into his throat. Then spins around so that the knife is pointed at the back of his neck and he is facing her.

"Huh?" She says surprised.

"You know up close, you have very beautiful eyes." Shino whispers into her ear.

She blushes and draws another kunai knife. Shino grabs that hand as well and squeezes it just hard enough to drop the knife.

"If you are done, I would like to get the battle started." Shino says and releases her hands.

The students sit there in amazement.

"Very well." She says disgusted.

Scizor shakes his head and walks onto the field.

"Whenever you are ready, Janine?" Shino says.

The woman glares at him and tosses out an Aridos. The Aridos immediately launches a string shot at Scizor. Seconds later electricity courses through the webbing and electrocutes Scizor, dropping him to his knees.

Smokes pours off Scizor for a second till he starts smiling. He opens his wings fully and slices through the webbing.

"Not bad for an arachnid." Scizor says and tackles Aridos. They roll across the ground wrapping themselves up in a web. Before long they are completely encased in the cocoon.

"Hey! No biting!" Scizor yells.

The cocoon glows bright white, then explodes. Webbing and Aridos pieces rain down on everyone.

Scizor lands on his face and slowly gets up with two fangs sticking through his arm.

"Was that all really necessary?" Janine asks.

"I tried to win this match by making him faint, but I guess I went a little overboard, huh?" Scizor replies.

"Take this and leave. You have caused enough trouble for me today." Janine says and throws the badge to Shino.

*****************************

Tendo is sitting at home with his family when his phone goes off.

"Hello?....... Hey, Akurei! Its been awhile...... Yeah, I'm at home now. Just relaxing.......... I am still the chief of the International Strike Force. It seems that no one remembers that little incident with Jarro........ Yes, the new building will be done next month. Thank you for paying for all the repairs. The insurance company is rather baffled on how an entire building can just disappear overnight............ By the way, what ever happened to Jarro........... Uh-huh. He took an extended vacation, you say. For some reason I don't believe you, but I will take your word that he is laying on a beach somewhere warm................... Alright, take it easy. Bye."

*****************************

At a diner in Fuschia City, Scizor and Shino are sitting down to breakfast when a couple men walk in and sit directly behind Shino.

"So, Scizor, where should we go next?" Shino asks.

"Dunno." Scizor replies eyeing the men behind Shino.

"How about Digglet's cave? My leg hasn't entirely healed yet so it would make a perfect vacation spot." Shino says smiling.

They finish their meal and leave the map on the table with Digglet's cave circled.

They get back to their room shortly after that and Shino is laughing.

"What's with you?" Scizor asks.

"Those two morons at the diner. They are going to that stupid ass cave and we will be relaxing on the beach in Roseville." Shino replies.

"......." Scizor says shaking his head.

*****************************

In Goldenrod, Ash is sitting in the Pokemon Gym, watching the trainers battle Whitney and her Miltank.

"So Ash, what brings you here?" Whitney asks sitting down next to him after the last trainer.

"I don't really know. I have just been wandering aimlessly for almost two weeks now." Ash replies.

"Is that so? (Whitney smiles and blushes slightly.) Tell ya what, I am going to close up the gym for the day and you and I are going out on the town." Whitney says.

*****************************

That night Shino and Scizor arrive in Roseville. It is north of the Rock Tunnel and Power Plant.

"Why are we here?" Scizor asks.

"To enjoy ourselves. Lately everything has been very hectic and I think we need to slow down." Shino replies.

"In other words, Aurora called and told you to be here." Scizor says.

"Basically, yeah." Shino replies.

Scizor just shakes his head and they head to a cottage.

*****************************

"This is about Jesse isn't it?" Whitney asks as the two of them walk down the street together.

"How did you know?" Ash asks.

Whitney leads him over to a newspaper stand and points to the tabloids. All of them have something about Ash and Jesse.

"Oh...." Ash replies.

"For tonight let's not talk about Jesse, let's just go out and have some fun together." Whitney says and grabs Ash's hand.

*****************************

Two days have passed and Aurora and Shino are still in Roseville enjoying the empty beaches.

Roseville is like a celebrity escape town. The easiest way in is by air or sea but that doesn't mean just anyone can show up. If you aren't a celebrity then you can guarantee that you will be escorted out of the area.

*****************************

For three days Ash spends time with Whitney and on the fourth day he packs his bags.

"You leaving?" Whitney asks heartbroken.

"Yeah. Spending time with you has brought something to my attention. I must fight for something I love. Like you do for Miltank." Ash says.

"Oh....." Whitney replies and turns to walk off. As she runs down the hallway tears flow from her eyes.

Ash shrugs his shoulders and finishes packing. He hops on the bullet train for Kanto. By night fall he is walking through the woods from Saffron to Fuschia.

"How am I going to find her? I'm not even sure if she is still in Fuschia." Ash says to Pikachu.

"Pika. Pika." Pikachu replies.

*****************************

Jesse is sitting next to a campfire watching the fire die out. Shortly after it dies out, Ash walks right by the campsite and doesn't even notice it. Jesse sits there staring at the few small burning embers.

*****************************

Lying on the beach, Shino sleeps peacefully. Aurora left just before sunrise, leaving Shino alone.

"Just how long do you intend on sleeping?" Karen asks.

"As long as I want." Shino replies looking at her.

"Ugh... Oooooof....." Shino says grunting in pain.

Scizor is standing next to him and there are two footprints on Shino's stomach.

"Try that again and you won't wake up." Scizor says.

"Sorry, I was having a wonderful dream and you weren't in it." Shino replies.

Scizor looks at him and kicks him again.

"Ass." Scizor says and walks off.

Shino laughs and sits up. He looks around and sighs.

"I did it again." He says looking up at the bright blue sky. A small smile creeps onto his lips before quickly disappearing.

*****************************

"Well Pikachu, she's not here. Where could she be?" Ash asks the small electric rodent.

"Pika." Pikachu replies.

They hop onto a bus and as it pulls out of Fuschia it passes Jesse walking back into town.

"Damn. I couldn't find him. I will wait here for him. He has to come back here sooner or later." Jesse says walking toward the Pokecenter.

"Yo? You guys alive in there?" Charmelon asks over the radio.

Scizor is piling up the dead bodies of the agents and looks up at the now completely dark building as an ill wind blows.

*****************************

"Why is the power out?" Jarro asks flipping a light switch a few times.

"Ugh..... My head." Brandon says and sits up rubbing his head.

"Get your fat ass off me." Maurice says from under him.

The two of them look around in the faint moon light and see Prima and Sabrina.

"You two just stay right there." Jarro says pointing a gun at them.

The center of the marble floor starts to rising a little and fall as if it was breathing. Then the marble starts to bubble and spit like a boiling pot of water.

Maurice and Brandon try to leap from it but are sucked in and vanish into the floor along with Shino.

"Well that was unexpected." Jarro says laughing.

The bubbling marble begins to swirl and the scent of sulfur and brimstone fills the air. Fire oozes out of the center of the swirling mass and stops at the edge of the fifteen foot circle created by the swirling floor. The fire starts to swirl in the opposite direction as the floor and is slowly getting more intense. In the center of it all is a hole. An arm comes through then another followed by Akurei's head and the rest of him. He stands there for a moment and looks around. He sees Aurora and all the windows explode sending glass dust out for over a mile around the IJF headquarters. Then the roof flies off and lands in downtown Celadon City.

"So the big brother decides to show himself." Jarro says confidently and aims the gun at Akurei. Without warning he fires and the bullet never leaves the chamber. He fires again and the same thing happens again.

"Have you made your peace with God yet because you are about to meet the Devil." Aurora says.

On the floor beneath Jarro's office, Brandon and Maurice are both backed against the wall trembling. Shino finally comes around and rubs the back of his head. He suddenly stiffens up and joins the other two against the wall. Outside the building an incredibly tall Devil like creature looks in. He looks like your normal picture of Satan.

Akurei doesn't say a word and the flames go out.

Akurei grabs Jarro by the throat and lifts him straight up.

"You seem to have lost that confidence that was just pouring off you only moments ago." Akurei says and squeezes tighter. He slams Jarro onto the ground and walks over to the women. After setting them free he leads Aurora over to Jarro and makes Jarro look her in the eyes.

"You are the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen. Or having the unpleasant knowledge of knowing. You beat on defenseless women and treat them worse then dogs. For that I will remove you from existence." Akurei says and walks him over to the window.

Jarro starts crying and struggles to get a grip on anything. Then he sees the Devil like creature standing there. Akurei smiles and they both leap out of the window.

During the fall Akurei is beating Jarro with so much force that the windows on the other floors are shattering. As they approach the ground Jarro's life flashes before his eyes and he closes them. When he opens them he sees that he has stopped falling and is resting on the palm of the Devil like creature. The Devil raises his hand high up into the sky. Akurei grabs Jarro by the face and stands him up.

"This is as close as you'll ever get to Heaven." Akurei says and shuffle sidekicks him in the jaw.

Jarro stumbles backwards and falls off the hand.

While Jarro falls, the Devil scratches the ground where Jarro will land and a large hole opens up.

Akurei looks down at the screaming Jarro and dives after him.

Just before Jarro enters the hole Akurei catches up with him and hits him in the stomach once. As they fall through the hole, the heat becomes almost unbearable and the smell of brimstone and sulfur also becomes overwhelming.

*****************************

Brandon is the first to move and quickly scampers back up to Jarro's office. He grabs Prima and has the others follow him. Aurora walks over to the window and looks at the Devil which looks back at her.

"Can you set us down on the ground?" Aurora asks.

The Devil extends his hand so they can all climb on. Once everyone is on the ground, Aurora whispers something to the Devil and the Devil stands fully upright. Then smashes the IJF headquarters. As it crumbles to the ground, a very large hole opens up under it and it falls straight in, leaving no trace of it being there.

*****************************

"Jarro, I want to thank you. If it wasn't for your infinite stupidity, I would of never known about this ability." Akurei says taking off his coat.

"Once I kill you then I will be known as the greatest man in history." Jarro says and points a gun at Akurei.

Suddenly the gun turns into a large spider and grabs onto Jarro's hand freaking him out. He looks around and realizes something is off.

A ways away is a massive lake of fire and odd creatures roaming around everywhere.

"Where the hell are we?" Jarro asks.

"We are in my imagination. Anything I think of becomes a reality. The only way to end this is to get me into that lake of fire." Akurei says.

"That's impossible." Jarro snaps back.

Suddenly Rachel appears along with Shino. They start making out and then start having sex right in front of everyone.

"See." Akurei says.

Jarro becomes irate and blindly attacks Shino. However Jarro's hands go right through Shino.

"No more discussion." Akurei says then viciously attacks Jarro. With every punch a bone in Jarro's body breaks. Within minutes Jarro is screaming and begging for forgiveness and for Akurei to stop. His pleads fall on deaf ears and are answered with harder hits.

Jarro falls to the ground battered and bloodied. Almost all of his bones are broken and shattered. Parts of his bones are sticking out through his skin and a few pieces are stuck in Akurei's knuckles.

"I am going to heal you over and over just so I can enjoy beating you over and over." Akurei says and Jarro's bones heal.

Again Akurei brutally attacks Jarro with a flurry of punches and kicks. The punches have so much force in them that shockwave actually damages the rock walls behind Jarro.

For several hours Akurei breaks down Jarro then heals him just to do it all over again. With every heal though the pain doesn't go away. It intensifies.

*****************************

"I have to ask. What the hell is that?" Maurice says looking at the Devil.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Aurora replies.

Scizor and Tyranitar wander over as well as Charmelon.

"I got some good news. All of the IJF agents were in the building when it disappeared." Charmelon says looking at the Devil.

"I really hope we don't have to fight that." Scizor says.

"Yeah, if we did I would ditch your asses." Tyranitar adds.

The other pokemon nod in agreement.

*****************************

Akurei emerges from the hole and casually walks over to everyone.

"Where's Jarro?" Shino asks.

"Currently suffering for all eternity with my friend there. He won't be bothering anyone ever again." Akurei replies and looks Aurora's wounds over.

The morning sun is coming over the horizon and the Devil bows to Akurei before climbing into the hole, which vanishes.

"It seems you boys had an interesting night." Diego says walking up with Jesse.

"Very. I am ready to go home and go to bed." Brandon says and puts his arm around Prima's shoulders.

"We should all get together again sometime." Brandon adds and walks off with Prima.

"I agree. It has been fun. Shino go piss someone else off so we can do this again." Maurice says and walks off with Sabrina.

Shino pulls Akurei aside and whispers, "Tell me honestly. What was that thing and where is Jarro?"

"Not sure exactly what that thing was but I believe it is the physical form of my power. As for Jarro..... Let's just say whenever you want to you can go visit him and beat him to a pulp for as long as you'd like. In a few days the entire universe will have totally forgotten he ever existed." Akurei replies.

Diego, Paul, Sparx, Slash, Inferno, Akurei, Aurora, Shino, Scizor, and Jesse all stand around for a while before going off in their own directions.

Shino, Scizor, and Jesse all head off to the nearest hotel to get some sleep while Akurei and his siblings all head back to the Dark Islands to rest.

*****************************

Sitting next to a dwindling campfire, Ash stares at the burning embers contemplating everything that has happened recently. He sighs heavily and wipes the tears from his eyes.

"Jesse......." He says and lowers his head as more tears fall from his already sore, blood shot eyes.

"Start the attack!" Shino says into the radio.

Charmelon cocks the gun and gently squeezes the trigger.

*****************************

"CALL EVERYONE BACK FROM PATROL!" Jarro yells into the radio.

"Why sir?" Someone asks.

"SHINO IS COMING HERE!! NOW GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND DO AS YOUR SUPERIOR OFFICER COMMANDS!!!" Jarro screams and stands before a wall of security monitors.

"Where are you, you beast?" Jarro says and scans the monitors.

Suddenly the building rumbles a little.

"What the hell was that?" Jarro asks.

He looks at the monitor for the front door and sees that the door is on fire.

"A simple fire won't get through that door. Its made of two feet of solid titanium with a foot of solid diamond covering that." Jarro says laughing.

Charmelon looks through the scope and smiles.

"So its not a standard door. Very clever. Unfortunately I have never met an object I can't put a bullet through." Charmelon says and flips a small switch. He squeezes the trigger and unloads on the front door.

The agents in the front lobby are hiding behind the desk and chairs.

One of the stands up and a bullet blasts through the door and hits him in the head before blasting a massive hole in the wall.

"Told ya." Charmelon says and continues firing.

"WHAT?" Jarro shouts surprised as more bullets rip through the door.

The agents inside are ripped to shreds by the bullets. More agents run in when the firing stops and check on the fallen. A second later more bullets rip through the walls of the building, killing more agents.

Brandon and Maurice enter through the hole in the wall and are greeted by a barrage of bullets from the agents. They look at each other and head straight at the agents.

Shino takes a more cautious approach and enters the building through the air vents.

*****************************

The Second in Command bursts into the interrogation room where Jesse is and quickly locks the door behind him.

"There's my precious little slut. Are you ready to have that information "pumped" from you?" He asks and bends her over the table. Then hastily handcuffs her wrists to the table legs.

Jesse struggles to free her self but can't. Her mind starts racing and immediately thinks of Ash. The tears just start pouring from her eyes.

"So this little slut has feelings? Guess I am going to have to fix that." The Commander says pulling her jean shorts and panties down.

*****************************

Outside the building near an emergency exit Ash looks around and silently slips in unnoticed.

*****************************

"Get ready slut. I am going to fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk for weeks." Says the Commander boastfully and drops his pants.

Suddenly part of the ceiling crashes to the ground.

"What the hell?" The Commander says.

The dust settles and Shino is standing there completely unaware of Jesse and the Commander. While he dusts himself off he looks around.

"Where am I?" Shino says.

"It's you!" The Commander says reaching for his gun on his belt. Shino looks down at Jesse then at the Commander.

He drives his knee into the Commander's face and then punches him square in the chest, stopping his heart.

As Shino is getting the key from the Commander's belt Ash looks through the window in the door and sees Jesse bent over the table and Shino behind her. He leans against the wall and his heart is racing.

"In the middle of something like this, they would do that?" Ash says and looks in again.

Jesse gives Shino a big hug for saving her and a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thanks. I never thought I'd be saved." Jesse says.

Ash quickly hides in the room next to the interrogation room and sits there in shock.

Shino leads Jesse outside to safety and then heads back inside.

Jarro shuts down the elevators and seals off the top floor.

Over the radio, Metallica's Seek and Destroy starts playing, making the radio completely worthless.

"If I was you I would run." Prima says still chained to the pillar.

"Why would I listen to a whore like you?" Jarro replies.

"Kidnapping us gets you a beating. Tying us up and making us dress like this is a more severe beating. Then its over and done with. However, hitting Aurora is a major mistake." Prima explains.

"Yeah, the last guy that raised his hand to her was found six months later and has been in a coma ever since. That was eight years ago." Sabrina adds.

"Like that shit is even true." Jarro says.

"Akurei is the one person that my husband is terrified of. Just the sound of his name sends a shiver down his spine." Prima says.

"..........." Jarro says.

*****************************

"How many of these guys will it take before they learn they can't stop us?" Maurice says smashing another agent into a wall.

"Who knows?" Brandon says and picks up an agent. He throws him down the hall and into several agents.

*****************************

Shino runs up the stairs and runs straight into a large group of agents blocking the stairs on the fifth level.

"I don't want to kill you but you are leaving me with no other options. Just walk and I will let you live." Shino shouts up to them.

They respond by shooing at him.

"You asked for it." Shino says and quietly opens the door to the fourth floor. He peeks in and sees no one. As he carefully sneaks down the hallway, agents watch him from the rooms. When he gets near the end of the hallway, the agents step out and block him in.

*****************************

Three floors above Shino, Maurice and Brandon are also surrounded. Both of them are huffing and puffing.

"We are out of shape." Brandon says.

"When was the last time we had any real physical challenge?" Maurice replies.

They open one of the elevator doors and just as they are about to jump in an elevator whips by. Seconds later several loud crashes are heard.

"Guess the elevators are out of the question." Maurice says.

The agents take them into custody and lead them to the stairs. One agent opens the door and nearly hits Shino.

"Freeze!" The agent shouts.

Shino kicks the door, sending the agent flying.

Maurice and Brandon take advantage of the situation and break free. The two of them run after Shino and catch up with him on the eighth floor.

"How you two holding up?" Shino asks.

"Alright." Maurice replies.

"We haven't done anything like this in months. How many more floors?" Brandon says.

"Eighty two." Shino replies.

"I thought these bastards would just run off but they are putting up a fight." Maurice says.

"If you keep them distracted I may have a way to get up there undetected." Shino says.

Moments later Brandon pops his head out and instantly pulls it back in. A bullet hits the wall right where his head was.

"Seems we got a problem." Maurice says.

"We got them now guys. They are trapped in the woman's bathroom at the end of the hall.

Suddenly the wall collapses onto the agents. Maurice and Brandon are standing on the other side shaking hands. The two of them then proceed up the stairs. They get up to the eighteenth floor before the see any other agents.

"You guys should hurry. All of the patrols are heading back. They seem to be running." Charmelon says on the radio.

Maurice stands at the window of an office and looks out. The window shatters and Maurice ducks. He looks behind him and sees bits of an agent with Brandon covered in blood.

"What the hell was that?" Maurice asks.

"You should be more careful." Charmelon replies.

The ceiling begins to crumble and then completely falls. A dozen agents also fall and are picked off by Charmelon.

"You're welcome." Charmelon says.

Maurice and Brandon climb up to the next floor through the hole. They open the door and head into the hallway.

*****************************

On the twenty third floor all the agents are standing around with their M-16s.

Shino is slowly climbing his way up through the ventilation shafts. He hits his head on the top of the shaft where it makes a 90 degree turn and grumbles to himself.

"Huh?" One of the agents says and looks at the wall.

"Something in the wall?" another agent asks. The two of them shrug and open fire.

"Shit." Shino says and loses his grip. A bullet pierces his right hand and he falls down the shaft. He goes right through the flimsy shaft and through the dry wall ceiling on the sixteenth floor. He lands in the towel bin and looks around. Right next to him is the soiled laundry bin.

"That was close." Shino says and gets out. He falls down and looks at his leg. Part of his bone is sticking through his shin.

"Damn." He says and then blacks out. Three agents are standing there. One of them drops a lead pipe and they toss Shino into a laundry cart.

*****************************

Maurice and Brandon are pinned down in bathroom again.

"Well what should we do now?" Maurice asks.

"No clue. Its weird not killing all of those agents." Brandon replies.

"Yeah. Those women sure have changed us." Maurice replies.

They look around and see the window.

A few agents burst in and see Brandon's legs standing on the window sill. Brandon helps Maurice up to the next window and as he gets ready to climb up two agents shove Brandon's legs off the sill. Maurice looks out the window and sees Brandon falling.

"One down. One to go." The agent says.

The agents on the twentieth floor rush into the bathroom and don't see Maurice.

"Evening folks. You may want to duck." Maurice says diving out the door.

A loud screech of a bird is heard then a massive fire blows through the window, burning everything to ash. Once the fire dies out, Brandon is standing there.

"That was close." Brandon says and walks out of the bathroom.

"Thought you were a goner." Maurice says.

"So did I. Help me with something." Brandon replies and rips a fire door off its hinges.

*****************************

In a service elevator the three agents keep a close eye on Shino who is still laying in the laundry cart unconscious.

"Its hard to believe that this guy has everyone afraid of him. I see nothing scary about him." One of the agent says and pokes Shino.

*****************************

Maurice and Brandon have made a makeshift portable fortress out of two fire doors. The door on top is curved so it can cover their heads and part of their backs. The other door is curved around one side so that it covers the front of them. And the wall makes a natural shield so they are protected on all sides.

"Why didn't we think of this earlier?" Maurice asks

"Don't know." Brandon replies and runs into several agents. They are either ran over or knocked over the railing by the fortress.

They climb up to the forty seventh floor and run into a problem.

"They are trapped. Take'em out now!" An agent yells from a few floors down.

"I'm out of steps. Nothing here but a wall." Brandon says.

*****************************

"Your soon to be ex-husbands are quite resourceful, to bad they have walked straight into a trap." Jarro says.

"What will you do if you somehow actually beat them?" Prima asks.

"Well bitch, I would rape you and that psychic bitch in front of their dead bodies. After that I would then work my way down the criminal list till every criminal has been captured. Once every criminal is captured, I would then live here with you four bitches and enjoy myself." Jarro replies.

"That is quite an impressive dream. There is only one flaw in your plan." Sabrina says.

"And what would that be?" Jarro asks.

"Just looking at you I can already tell you haven't read a damn thing about our husbands or Shino. That's fine. You really haven't done anything that would get you killed. As for Shino, he isn't that big of a deal. Your only real problem lies in Akurei. No one knows anything about him other then that he has a truly amazing voice." Sabrina says and blushes a little.

"Yeah, his voice just gets me going." Prima says and fans herself with her hand.

"Akurei is a mystery even amongst his own family. Since he is the oldest none of us know much about him. Shortly after all of us were born our parents died so we were raised by Akurei. He taught us everything we needed for survival. What you did to me sealed your fate. I would make your peace with God before he gets here." Aurora says sitting up with the help of Delilah.

Jarro hits her with his fist a few times then kicks her in the stomach sending her sliding across the marble floor. The chain attached to collar around her neck reaches its limit and chokes her.

"Quiet bitch. No one asked for your opinion. So shut your mouth before I put it to good use." Jarro snaps at her.

*****************************

The agents surround the fortress and pull it apart. To their surprise Brandon and Maurice aren't there.

"What the hell?" One agent says.

"Look at this." Another agent says pointing to a hole in the wall.

On the other side of the wall Brandon and Maurice are sprinting down the hallway to the other stairwell.

They open the door and are met with a barrage of tasers.

Within seconds they are brought to their knees.

*****************************

Back on the top floor Jarro is sitting in his throne with Prima and Sabrina on the left side and Aurora and Delilah on the right side. One agent enters pushing a laundry cart.

"Your laundry sir." He says and dumps the cart over. Brandon, Maurice, and Shino roll out.

Jarro sits there speechless for several minutes.

The women sit there in shock except for Aurora.

"What a surprise. Your boys got all three of them but not my brother." Aurora says.

"That does it bitch. I am tired of that mouth of yours. (back hands her with a closed fist. Blood sprays all over.) I think its time you did something useful with it. (he unzips his pants) You know what to do next." Jarro says standing in front of her.

The lights begin flickering before exploding. The entire building goes dark and all the doors seem be held in place by something.

*****************************

Ash walks out just before this still in a trance like state.

*****************************

"A power outage?" Jarro says.

"Wrong." Aurora says with a laugh.

Jarro grabs a champagne bottle off a nearby table and smashes it across her temple. She falls to the ground lifeless.

Thursday, July 2, 2009

After a few hours, Charmelon, Flareon, and Ninetails arrive at the building where Maurice, Shino, Brandon, and Akurei are hiding.

"You guys have really pissed someone off. There are hundreds of agents swarming everywhere." Charmelon says setting his gun down.

A siren goes off and all the agents head towards the large IJF headquarters.

"Now we know where they are hiding." Brandon says.

*****************************

"WHAT???? WHEN???" Jarro screams into his phone.

He hangs up and throws his phone onto the bed angrily.

A second later he lowers his head and starts crying. Prima looks at Sabrina who is watching Jarro.

*****************************

"I wonder if Jarro realizes who he is going up against. I really hope he studied up on those three before doing something stupid." Tendo says laying in his hospital bed.

*****************************

"Miss, you are going to have to come with us." An agent says to Jesse. She tries to run but the two agents tackle her and then handcuff her.

*****************************

"I'm sorry sir but you are going to have to turn around and go somewhere else." A guard says blocking the road to Fuschia.

"But my girlfriend is in there." Ash says.

"Sorry. I can not allow you to pass." The guard says.

Ash glares at him and walks off. He thinks to himself and several minutes later gets an idea.

*****************************

Jarro is sitting on his bed with his head buried in his hands.

"What's with him?" Prima whispers.

"His girlfriend was badly burned in the Safari Zone fire. The doctor says she may not make it." Sabrina whispers back.

Jarro gets up suddenly and leaves the room.

*****************************

"So that's the plan." Maurice says.

"Sounds good to me." Shino says.

"Fine by me. Let's do it tomorrow night though." Brandon says.

"Why? Who knows what he is doing with our wives." Maurice says.

"I know. I am worried about them as well but we both know they can take care of themselves. My package won't be here till tomorrow." Brandon replies.

Everyone nods in agreement and gets settled in.

"mmmmmmm....." A voice says from behind a couch.

"You realize there is some guy bound and gagged back here?" Scizor says looking behind the couch at Ashe.

"That's where he was." Maurice says and lets Ashe free.

"You son of a bitch! How dare you forget the greatest pokemon trainer in the world!" Ashe says once he's free.

Maurice punches him in the stomach and Ashe drops to the ground.

"Quiet." Maurice says.

"So we just going to chill around here till tomorrow night?" Charmelon says slightly upset.

"Yup, so make sure that thing works properly." Brandon says.

Akurei stares out the window at the ninety story IJF headquarters.

"I'm sure she's fine." Shino says plopping down on the couch.

"I know she is. I just wonder where she is. She's my only sister and my mother's pride and joy. Just before she died she made me swear to her that I would protect her. I know there are rumors going around about us being a couple and shit like that but that's all bullshit. I am just doing what any older brother should do." Akurei replies and continues to stare.

"We'll find her." Brandon says.

*****************************

Jarro bursts into the emergency room and a nurse stops him.

"I am looking for Rachel. She was badly burned in a fire." Jarro says looking around.

Two coroners wheel a body out of a room and right by Jarro. He gets a quick glimpse and recognizes her immediately. The overwhelming shock of it knocks him to his knees and he begins to sob uncontrollably.

All night long, Jarro sits by Rachel's body, sobbing.

*****************************

The next morning a Lapras makes its way past the wreckage of the St. Anne. It swims up to the dock then swims back out to sea.

"That was weird." An agent says to another agent watching from the end of the dock.

"Very." The other one replies. They turn around and head back to dry land.

Underneath the dock Ash slowly swims towards shore as well.

*****************************

Jarro has returned to IJF headquarters and headed straight to the broadcasting room.

He cleans up and makes himself presentable. Before going in front of the cameras.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Residents of Fuschia City. I would like to thank all of you for evacuating in such a quick and courteous manner. Due to your efforts, the IJF agents have been searching every square inch of this great city. It fills me with great pride to know that you support us and our actions on dealing with certain scum that the former Chief of ISF was to cowardly to handle. So far we have taken down Brandon and we believe Maurice was badly injured in an explosion. As for Shino we are currently chasing him through the sewers like the filthy rat he is. I will keep you informed when more info becomes available." Jarro says to the whole Kanto region.

Jarro walks back to his room and as he enters he sees Prima, Aurora, Delilah, and Sabrina are sitting on the floor with a dog collar around their necks and a chain around a marble column.

"Good to see my little bitches haven't gone any where. Look, I even brought you some food." Jarro says setting down four dog bowls.
*****************************

More recruits arrive throughout the night and all of them are immediately sent out in patrols.

"Listen up. You are to search every building. If you find anyone, arrest them and bring them here. Thank you and happy hunting." The Second in command says.

A few minutes after the new patrols leave the one's that captured Jesse return.

"Sir, we found her at a grocery store and was buying a large quantities of food." One agent says.

"Really?..... Thank you. Go back on patrol. I will take her in for questioning." The Commander says.

In an interrogation room Jesse is tied to a chair and the Commander is sitting across from her staring at her heaving chest.

"Now what is a very beautiful young thing like you doing at a grocery store?" He asks.

"None of you business." Jesse replies.

"Is that so? Well, in a few hours I will come back and "pump" the info from you." He says with a evil smile. As he walks by he runs his hand along her cheek.

"I think a whore like you would rather enjoy it." He says and slaps her.

*****************************

Around 6:30 the following night there is a knock on the door.

Akurei answers it and doesn't see anyone there.

"Huh?" Akurei says and closes it.

"Yo, Brandon long time no see." A voice says and Brandon opens his eyes.

"How's it going?" Brandon replies looking down at the ground near Akurei's feet.

Akurei looks down and sees a six inch tall Tyranitar.

"Holy shit." He says and picks him up.

"So you boys are off to war, huh? That sounds like fun. My ride is downstairs and ready for anything. We are both ready whenever you guys are." Tyranitar says.

"Good. I think its about time to get ready for the festival." Maurice says.

"Oh, I saw a great looking red head being taken to that big building downtown. Mmmmmmm, she looked delicious. As payment for this little ordeal I want to sample her "pie."" Tyranitar says licking his lips and drooling.

"Sorry, man but that is already claimed. She's Ashe's little brother's girlfriend." Brandon says.

They all get changed into some military gear. Shino looks like Snake from Metal Gear Solid 3. Maurice is dressed like Elliot from Army of Two and Brandon is dressed like Tyson.

"What the fuck?" Akurei says looking at them confused.

"Unlike you we aren't all that dangerous looking. Besides they are expecting us to go in looking like we normally do." Shino explains.

*****************************

The Commander walks back into the interrogation room and smiles.

"Are you ready to talk or should I just "pump" it from you while you scream in ecstasy?" He asks.

Before she can answer his phone goes off.

"Damn it. I'll be back soon. Go ahead and get yourself ready for me." He says and leaves again.

*****************************

Charmelon has positioned himself in a small apartment on the first floor. His massive gun is aimed at the front door of the IJF headquarters.

They have split up into two main groups. Maurice and Brandon are in the front. Shino and Akurei are near the back while the pokemon cover the sides.

"Anytime you boys are ready just let me know. I'm all set." Charmelon says into his radio.

"Good. We'll wait till dark." Maurice says.

"The worms are in place." Brandon says.

"Scizor and Tyranitar are good to go." Shino says.

Akurei gets a phone call and walks off to answer it. He returns a few minutes later and says, "That was the doctor. Rachel died. Also Diego and the rest still haven't heard from Aurora or Delilah."

*****************************

Jarro stands in front of the women and looks each of them over carefully.

"Lets see. Who should go first?" He says.

"Huh?" Prima says.

"Since you are my lovers why not make it official." He replies.

"Not happening, limp dick." Sabrina says.

He goes to smack her but stops himself.

"You're that psychic chic. I think it would be best to break your mind first then break off some of your sweet ass." He says.

A knock at the door catches his attention and then an agent walks in pushing a cart of dog food in dog bowls. The agent sees the women and his eyes widen.

"Thank you. That will be all." Jarro says.

The agent immediately turns around and once the door was closed took off running. He runs down the stairs and right out the emergency exit. He runs down an alley way and right into Akurei.

"What the...?" Both Akurei and the agent say at the same time.

"Please don't hurt me. I had no idea he was holding them hostage." The agent says groveling before Akurei.

"Who's holding who hostage?" Shino asks.

"Jarro. He has Prima and Sabrina. Those two are married to Brandon and Maurice. I didn't know that's who we were going up against. Fuck that! I choose life." The Agent says and runs down the alley, stripping as he goes.

"That was convenient." Shino says.

Akurei nods in agreement.

*****************************

Jarro stands before the women and has given each of them a bowl.

"Now be good little bitches and eat up. If you eat it all I may even decide to scratch a certain itch of yours." Jarro says.

"Its sorta hard to eat with our hands tied behind our backs." Sabrina says.

"That's fine. You are supposed to eat it like the dogs you are. Now put those tight asses in the air and chow down." Jarro says.

His phone goes off and he reads the message.

"I'll be right back. Apparently they have found Maurice's dead body." Jarro says and walks out of the room.

*****************************

"Five minutes we strike." Maurice says.

*****************************

Shino pulls out his phone and makes a call.

As Jarro is heading back to his office his phone goes off.

"Hello?" Jarro says.

"Hello Jarro." Shino says.

"Who's this? How did you get this number?" Jarro asks surprised.

"Its easy when you are filthy rat running through the sewers of this great city." Shino says.

"Shino! You bastard! How dare you call me like this!" Jarro says practically running to his room.

"Look, I just wanted to call and offer you my condolences for your loss." Shino replies.

"You asshole! Its your fault she's dead! You were the one she was chasing after!" Jarro snaps back.

"She may of been chasing me but at least I won't have her death on my conscience. Her death lies solely on you. You were the one who ordered your men to burn the Safari Zone. The last time I saw her was when I left her hotel room." Shino replies.

"You..... You..... MOTHER FUCKER!!!!" Jarro snaps.

"Excuse me, I meant to say, After paying for her room and making sure she got there safely. We didn't do anything. However I wonder how many times she fantasized about me while you two were getting it on?" Shino says calmly.

"................. I want you to hear something. (puts the phone on speakerphone) Listen to this you piece of shit..... (sounds of someone getting hit several times.) Guess who just got beaten cause of you?" Jarro says breathing heavily.

"A.....Ak......Akur........Akurei...." Aurora says barely audible.

Akurei is standing next to Shino and has heard everything. The air grows rather dense and its almost suffocating.

Shino's phone short circuits and shatters.

"Fuck....." Shino says shaking.

Sunday, June 28, 2009

In a building down the street from the Safari Zone, Akurei, Brandon, Maurice, and Shino are sitting around thinking when Akurei's phone goes off.

"Hello?... Ah Mary! Of course I remember you......... Really?...... Alright tell him we will handle it. Make sure he rests and not to worry." Akurei says and hangs up.

"Who was that? And what are we going to take care of?" Brandon asks.

"Mary is Chief Tendo's wife. Apparently the IJF and ISF are two separate factions. Shino's dear friend Jarro shot Tendo and took over the ISF headquarters with about ten thousand new recruits. She isn't sure how many more may have joined but she is sure that most of the seasoned ISF agents have left." Akurei explains.

"Really?" Brandon says making a call.

*****************************

The following morning Prima arrives at Sabrina's house and is greeted by her close friend.

"I guess you heard what happened?" Sabrina asks.

"Yeah. They burned down everything. The entire Safari Zone went up in a matter of minutes because of the drought." Prima answers.

Both of them are relaxing in the backyard when Charmelon walks by.

"We have been called to arms. I must leave you." Charmelon says and walks off towing a large cart behind him.

"I will be taking over guard duties." Flareon says.

Ash walks out and sits down on a chair still contemplating the events of the last 24 hours.

"What's with you?" Prima asks.

*****************************

Scizor walks into the room and plops down on the floor.

"You guys suck. There are thousands of IJF agents everywhere. And it looks like more are coming in. All the roads out leading out have been blocked. The entire town has been evacuated." Scizor says wiping some ashes off of him.

"That was smart of Jarro." Shino says.

Gyarados pops his head out of his pokeball and spits Ashe out then goes back into the pokeball.

"There you are. I forgot all about you." Maurice says kicking him.

*****************************

In Lavender town, Aurora is just about to go on stage when there is a knock on her door.

A few minutes later Diego knocks on Aurora's door and walks in.

"Hmmmm............. Aurora? We are about to go on. Where are you?" Diego says looking around.

*****************************

"Well Ash, I am sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like Shino isn't to blame for the entire thing. I believe Jesse instigated some of it. If I was in your situation I would sit down with her. Especially if you love her." Prima says.

Ash sits there silently for a while before running off.

*****************************

"Sir, your plans worked perfectly. We have people searching every inch of this town. There is nowhere for them to hide." An Agent says.

"That's good. I want confirmation on their deaths by tonight." Jarro says lighting up a long cigar. He is dressed in a fine suit and looks similar to Giovanni right down to the Persian sitting next to him.

*****************************

A badly burned Scyther walks in carrying a badly burned woman.

"Master...." The Scyther says as he collapses to the ground.

Brandon checks the Scyther and shakes his head.

"Damn that Jarro. All my Scythers were killed in that fire." Brandon says.

Shino looks at the woman and raises an eyebrow.

"Rachel?" Shino says quietly. Brandon checks Rachel and a surprised look comes over his face.

"She's alive." Brandon says.

Akurei picks her up and heads out the door.

"You three stay here. I will take her to the hospital." Akurei says and runs down the street.

*****************************

Diego, Sparx, Paul, Slash, and Inferno all meet back up in Aurora's dressing room.

"Nothing." They all say.

"Shino isn't here so she's not with him." Diego says.

"Delilah isn't here either. Maybe those two went off for some before show fun." Sparx says.

"No, they wait till after the show for that." Slash says.

"No one has seen either of them." Inferno says.

"Wait.... I haven't seen any roadies. Normally they are all over." Paul says.

"Son of a bitch!" Diego says and storms out.

*****************************

Flareon wakes up and looks around.

"What the hell?" He says groggily. While he is stretching he notices a dart sticking out of his body.

After pulling it out, he looks throughout the house and finds no one.

"DAMN IT!!!" He shouts and runs off.

*****************************

"Sir, the acquisitions you wanted have been completed. They will be here at around midnight." The Agent says and leaves the office.

"Perfection. Absolute Perfection." Jarro says and raises his glass of Brandy towards the setting sun.

*****************************

Akurei returns a little bit later with Jesse following behind him.

Shino, Maurice, and Brandon are all sound asleep when the two of them walk in.

"Make yourself at home." Akurei says and plops down on one of several couches. Jesse looks around and sits down on a couch near Shino's.

*****************************

The following morning Jarro steps out of a pristine white limousine onto a ruby red carpet. He walks up it with his head held high and confidence just pouring off of him.

"Sir, the acquisitions have arrived. They are below in the holding cells. No confirmation has come in yet about our targets. Forty three thousand more agents arrived last night and another thirty seven are scheduled to arrive today." An agent says reading the evening reports off.

"Excellent news about my acquisitions. See to it that they are brought up to my new office. As for the targets, increase the number of patrols. Have them conduct home searches. If anyone is found have them brought here for questioning." Jarro says lighting up his cigar.

On the very top floor is a massive office that has a panoramic view of the city. It looks more like a luxurious hotel suite at a very fancy hotel. There is a large hot tub with gold plated faucets. A large bed at one end and large office area at the other.

"This is perfect. I will thoroughly enjoy my new acquisitions here." Jarro says with a evil grin as he looks the place.

*****************************

The morning sun shines through the windows waking everyone up.

"I can't believe we fell asleep like that." Brandon says stretching.

Shino opens his eyes and freaks out. He falls off the couch and lands on his bad leg.

"What the hell?" Shino says checking his vision.

"What the hell is with you?" Maurice asks.

"I woke up seeing red." Shino replies and notices Jesse on the couch next him.

"Where did she come from?" Brandon asks.

"I found her on the way back from the hospital." Akurei says.

Jesse wakes up and sees everyone looking at her.

"What?" She asks.

"Why are you here?" Shino asks.

"Those guys are rounding up everyone and hauling them off somewhere. I wasn't going to find out where so I ran." Jesse explains.

"Shit. You three hide. We have company." Akurei says taking his shirt off.

"Huh?" Brandon says peeking out the window. Several IJF agents are walking down the street towards them.

"Jesse, strip and wrap up in the blanket." Akurei says and kicks his boots and socks off.

"Hell no!" She says.

"Just trust me and do it." Akurei snaps back.


Jesse reluctantly grabs the blanket and heads to the bathroom.

Seconds later there is a loud knock at the door and Akurei walks over to answer it.

"Break it down." The Commanding Agent says.

Suddenly the door opens and Akurei is standing there looking as if he just got out of bed.

"Can I help you gentlemen?" Akurei asks making all six of the jump.

"Sir, why are you still here? There was an order of evacuation given yesterday to all citizens." Says the Commander.

"I was a little indisposed yesterday." Akurei says with a smile.

"Who is it baby?" Jesse says walking up behind him and hugging his back. She looks around him and smiles at the agents.

"Just some agents." Akurei replies.

"Good morning Miss." The Commander says.

The other agents are whispering amongst themselves.

One of them gets some nerves and nervously asks, "Are you Akurei from Gauntlet?"

"Yes. Would you like an autograph?" Akurei replies.

"Don't take to long. You promised me another go around." Jesse says.

Each of them hands him something to sign and after receiving the autograph they head down the street.

Before the Commander leaves he say, "You two have fun but try to leave by sundown."

"Why? What's going on?" Akurei says.

"Well, we are hunting down Shino, Brandon, and Maurice so tonight the heavy artillery will be coming through. Just run through the Safari Zone. No one is patrolling that area." The Commander says and runs off to get back with his patrol.

Akurei smiles and heads back inside.

*****************************

Jarro is sitting on his throne that overlooks the city when there is a knock on the door.

An agent walks in holding a chain. Attached to the chain is Aurora, Prima, Sabrina, and Delilah. Each of them are in shackles and shock collars.

"Welcome ladies to your new home." Jarro says smiling.

"Who the hell are you?" Prima asks.

"I am your new lover and husband. Each one of you is now my personal property. I can do what I want when I want to you. If you disagree then there will be severe punishment. Such as some form of torture that won't mark those incredible bodies." Jarro says looking each of them.

"What makes you think we will agree to that?" Aurora asks.

"Because I know all, bitch. Now get changed into your new outfits." Jarro says sitting down and staring at them.

*****************************

Both, Maurice's and Akurei's, phones go off and they answer them.

"WHAT?!?!" They says together then hang up.

"Aurora is missing along with Delilah." Akurei says.

"Same with Prima and Sabrina." Maurice adds.

"Mother fucker!" Brandon says and puts his fist through the concrete wall.

Shino's phone goes off next and he answers it.

"Hello?.... Yes.... Do tell........ Is that so?...... Alright. Thanks." Shino says and hangs up with a smile.

"Well?" Maurice says.

"According to Officer Jenny of Purgatory, Jarro has sent out a message to every police station in Jhoto, Kanto, Hoenn, and the Dark Islands. He is recruiting more members for the IJF. (phone rings again) Yes.... This is him............... Consider it done. (hangs up) That was an ISF agent I helped back home. He says the IJF has close to one hundred thousand members already and it's still growing. Also Jarro is behind the disappearance of Prima, Sabrina, Aurora, and Delilah. A truck dropped them off this morning. So we can't go destroying the building, we have to have a plan." Shino explains.

"You boys plan. I am going to get something to eat." Jesse says.

*****************************

Jarro is sitting in his throne with all four women standing before him dressed in skimpy maid outfits.

"Now you will refer to me as "Master." Is that understood, wenches?" Jarro says.

Aurora spits at him and backhands her. She falls to the ground and gets back up.

"Big mistake, asshole." Aurora says and spits in his face again. The blood stains his new white suit.

"You whore!" Jarro says and pulls out a gold plated pistol. He backhands her with the gun and she drops to the ground again. A large cut along her cheek has blood just flowing from it. Delilah picks her up and tends to her.

Friday, June 26, 2009

Shino, Akurei, and Brandon stand up and look around. Everything is burnt to a crisp except a small circle around them from the barrier by Brandon.

"What the hell?" Shino says confused.

"Something isn't right." Akurei says pointing towards the flashing lights in the distance.

"Shit. Please don't let "it" of been burned." Brandon says panicking.

He runs off and Shino and Akurei follow.

*****************************

Maurice glares at all the IJF agents waiting for an answer.

"We are doing our job. You are scum and we will clean you up from this planet." One IJF agent replies before all of them get into their cars and drive away.

Gyarados starts after them but Maurice stops him.

"Let them go. We had better check on Brandon." Maurice replies and gets on Gyarados' back. Ashe is tied to the tail and dragged to the Safari Zone.

*****************************

"We have found Maurice and successfully blew the bar up. However, Maurice is still alive." An IJF agent says on the phone.

Jarro presses a button and switches over to another call.

"Sir, Safari Zone is burnt extra crispy. There are no signs of life in the remains of the house. Brandon is presumed dead." Another IJF agent says.

Jarro turns the phone off and leans back in the chair.

"Everything is going according to plan. The only thing left is to find that bastard, Shino." Jarro says to himself.

*****************************

"ASH KETCHUM!!! COME OUT NOW WITH YOUR HANDS UP!!" Someone shouts into a megaphone.

"What the hell is going on outside?" Ash asks peeking out the window carefully.

Sabrina's phone rings and she runs over to answer it.

"Hey!.... What's wrong? You sound out of breath....... No. I'm fine. There is someone outside screaming for Ash though..... The nice one.... Alright. Bye." Sabrina says and hangs up. She quickly dials another number and waits for it to be answered.

"Good you're down there. Is there anyone else down there? I got a "problem" and it needs to be dealt with......Perfect. Send him up and tell him by any means necessary." Sabrina says and hangs up again.

"Who was that?" Ash asks.

"Don't worry about it. You'll find out soon enough. Right now go out there and see what they want." Sabrina says leading him towards the door.

*****************************

Brandon is digging through the charred remains of what used to be his house.

All of the IJF agents have retreated back to headquarters and will be celebrating their victories.

A taxi pulls up and a woman gets out. After paying the driver she turns around and immediately drops her bags. Brandon looks up from a pile of ashes and his eyes go real wide.

"Oh shiiit!" He says and waves at her. "Welcome home honey." Brandon says nervously.

"You have three seconds to explain what is going on here." The woman says angrily.

"We were attacked by some agency known as the International Jarro Force. They blew up our bar, then set fire to the Safari Zone." Maurice says intercepting the woman.

"What did you do?" She asks.

"We did nothing. We were innocent for a change." Brandon says walking over.

"The word "innocent" and the two of you don't really go together." She says.

"I believe I am the one to blame. You see, I am the one Jarro is actually after. Allow me to explain." Shino says.

*****************************

Ash steps out and is greeted by over three thousand brand new recruits fresh from the street. They literally just signed up and were given a crash course on what to do on the way to Saffron City.

"Are you Ash Ketchum? (Ash nods) Please put your hands up and walk slowly into the road. (Ash does so and the Commander walks up to him) Now Ash, I am sure you are aware of the history of Shino. He is a threat to society and needs to be removed. We are the International Jarro Force and have made it our mission to rid the world of him. If you would kindly tell us his location we will leave. If not then we have unpleasant ways of making you talk." The commander says.

"You are going to take on Shino? You are going to need a lot more men for that job. I have no idea where he is. Last I saw him was this morning and he was laying on a bar floor bleeding." Ash replies.

"I think you are lying. You know exactly where he is and won't tell us." The Commander says.

"I have no reason to protect him. He slept with my girlfriend so why should I lie to save his sorry ass?" Ash says annoyed.

Sabrina steps out and the agents point their guns at her.

"Ash is telling the truth. Shino is in Fuschia. If I were you I would leave immediately." Sabrina says and walks back inside.

*****************************

"That is quite an interesting story. I can hear the honesty in your voice so I am going to let you three handle the situation. I am going to stay with Sabrina. You have two days." The woman says and hails a taxi.

"I thought Prima would of been a lot more pissed." Maurice says watching the taxi drive off.

"Well we need a place to rest and recuperate. Then get a plan of attack going." Shino says rubbing his leg.

"Follow me." Akurei says and heads down the road.

*****************************

The rest of the night is quiet and peace has returned temporarily to Fuschia.

*****************************

"Why should we retreat? There is nothing that will make that happen!" The Commander shouts to Sabrina.

A loud gunshot is heard and a massive hole in the Agent's chest next to the Commander appears.

"I would highly recommend putting up a fight. I want nothing more then to test out my new bullets." A Charmelon says lighting a cigar with his tail.

"RETREAT!!!!!!!" The Commander shouts.

"Awe, You don't want to test your 9mm pistols against my Anti-Tank Rounds? Damn." Charmelon says with a tear running down his cheek.

Ash looks around and scratches his head.

"What the hell just happened?" Ash asks.

"Thank you Charmelon. That worked out quite well." Sabrina says walking up to Ash.

"No problem. If you need me just call the Lab." Charmelon says and walks off with his massive gun. It three times the size of him.

Sabrina and Ash walk back inside and sit down.

"From what my husband, Maurice, has told me. Those guys are some radical unit of the ISF and have targeted Shino, Maurice, and Brandon. You happen to be caught in the crossfire because you have been around Shino." Sabrina explains.

*****************************

At the hospital in Fuschia, Chief Tendo is laying in a hospital bed recovering from the surgery that removed the bullet. In the bed next to him is his secretary.

"How you doing, Lisa?" Tendo asks.

"Just a little sore. My knee is broken and I have a concussion." Lisa replies.

"Guess I'll have to give you some hazard and combat pay for today." Tendo says with a laugh.

Both of them hold their sides and groan in pain.

"Tendo?" A woman says rushing in.

"Hey, Mary. Relax I am fine." Tendo replies.

"Damn you. I thought you said you wouldn't have to worry about getting injured." Mary (Tendo's wife.) says crying into his shoulder.

"I know. However this was from a hostile takeover of the ISF." Tendo says holding her.

"And you even got Lisa involved?" Mary says looking over at Lisa.

"Wrong place. Wrong time." Lisa says.

Mary gets up and walks out of the room with her cell phone in her hand.

"Pikachu!! THUNDER!!!!" Ash shouted.

A lightning bolt fell from above striking the defenseless Raticate in the head severing it in half as well as making it a overcooked rat meal.

"D...dear me......its Ash...." the trainer said backing off letting Ash through. Ash walked past the defeated trainer without even looking him in the eye.

Ash's mind was still stuck on what Shino told him about what happened with Jesse. The thought off it was enough to piss him off.

Along the road, more and more trainers challenged Ash and more and more trainers' pokemon were mercilessly killed by Ash's now ruthless pokemon style.

"How could she....how could he......" Ash said

Pikachu looked up at his trainer and felt a cold shiver go down his spine. He had never seen his master THIS upset before.

"Of all the women he could have slept with....Jesse....Jesse.....(Ash grinds his teeth so hard to the point his mouth begins to bleed.) Jesse........(Smiles) Who needs her.." Ash said

Ash feels something in his pocket. Ash takes it out and sees that his new Razor X11F3 was going off. It was Jesse. Ash laughed and turned off his phone.

Before he knew it, Ash was in Saffron City.

"Saffron City.....brings back memories....Oh!! Sabrina is here! I think I'll go check on her." Ash said and headed deeper into the city

________________________________________________________________

Jesse put her phone down and stared out the window

"What have I done...." Jesse asked herself for the 20th time.

_____________________________________________________________

Shino walked throught the Safari Zone to keep hidden from the several "fans" that wanted his head for an autograph.

"Ugh.." Shino said sitting beneath a tree.

"Well we got away for the most part. Its only a matter of time before they find us. How's your leg?" Akurei asked

"I'll live." Shino replied

_______________________________________________________________

Jarro sat in his empty house. The lights were off. Not a sound was heard.

Jarro silently laughed to himself.

Eventually that silent laughter turned into a mad, crazed laughter

"THAT BASTARD!! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!!? I'll show him.....I show all the scum on this planet..(stands to his feet) (laughs)

Two days later.........

In a far off warehouse, Agent Jarro held a secret meeting for all ISF officers that wanted to make a difference. Depite his ranking, more that 10,000 people showed up out of his efforts to bring Shino to justice despite what others told him. Most off the officers that showed up were newbies.

"My fellow men! Officers! Welcome!! I am here today to tell you that.....this world......is corrupt!! Vermin, filth, trash walk amongst us!! Isn't it our duty as ISF officers to rid our world of vermin like......like Shino!!!?" Jarro preached.

Members cheered

"WE!! AS ISF OFFICERS MUST BAND!!! BECOME AS ONE TO RID OURSELVES OF THESE VERMIN THAT WALK AMONGST US!!!

(Louder cheering)

"OUR COMMANDING OFFICERS LIKE TENDO LET THESE CRIMINALS GO FREE BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID OF THEM BUT NOT US!! WE WILL NOT WAVER FROM OUR GOAL!!! LET US GO TO HEADQUARTERS AND SHOW THEM WE MEAN BUSINESS! AFTER MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD....WE WILL ACT!!" Jarro preached and like a wild pack of wolves, the 10,000 officers poured from the warehouse toward HQ

________________________________________________________

(Sighs)

"More paperwork...." Tendo says as he stamps more papers. Tendo picks up his favorite coffee mugs and suddenly, the handle breaks. A cold shiver runs up his spine. Just as Tendo was about to get up, ruckus was heard outside his office. Suddenly, his secretary came flying in through his glass doors

"What the hell!!?" Tendo says

Suddenly, Jarro followed by multiple ISF members entered his office. Jarro explained their goals and plans and asked(more like demanded) Tendo to step down from command

"Are you all mad!!! I have told you that Shino is off limits!!" Tendo said

"Oh...Shino is just the start...(slams down three photographs)

(Tendo's eyes grow wide)

"Jarro....." Tendo said

"Step down Tendo." Jarro said

Tendo takes his badge and throws it at Jarro.

"You are making a big mistake....May God have mercy on your soul.." Tendo said and walked off

"Oh...and Tendo...I am just doing what you should have done LONG ago...." Jarro said and turned and shot Tendo.

Two officers took the body outside to the trash

"Now.....lets get started......" Jarro said

__________________________________________________________________

In Fuschia City, Maurice sat at the bar talking with the bartender with Ashe under his foot. Tied and gagged.

"Stop squirmin!" Maurice said taking another drink.

In the distance, the sounds of screams and vechiles could be heard. Maurice looked out and tons of vechiles parked in front of the bar labeled "IJF"

A officer approached Maurice very sternly

"Are you Maurice by any chance?" he asked

"Yes. Yes I am. May I help you?" he asked

"Yes. We, The International Jarro Force would like for you to come with us. Quietly." he said

"Oh? Why?" Maurice asked

Ashe, who was tied and gagged, witnessed a officer stripping TNT around the bar. He squirmed and screamed but recieved nothing but another kick

"The reason isn't important. Come with us or be destroyed." the officer said

Maurice's smile disappeared and he looked at the officer in the eye seriously but before he could say a word, the bar exploded sending the officer flying backwards into a tree. There was nothing left of that officer but the back portion of his body

The other officers proceed to the next plan and lit the Safari Zone aflame

"Thats two." a officer said when suddenly there was noise from within the blazing inferno where the bar once stood.

"Oh my.....Brandon won't be happy..." a voice said

Suddenly the flames were blown away and Maurice stood there with his foot still on Ashe, sitting on his stool and held the bartender in one hand.

"What!!" the officer said

"There better be a damn good reason why you boys are doing what you're doing because if there isn't......(Suddenly, the area around Maurice became blurred) there will be hell to pay......" Maurice said as the blurred area became clear and a Gyarados was there wrapped around Maurice, Ashe and the bartender protecting them. Staring at them as if he hadn't ate in a week

_____________________________________________________________

"Yo!" a voice said. Shino looked over a saw Brandon just suddenly appear

"Yo yourself." Shino said

"Hmm....looking alittle beat up there. Rough night?" Brandon asked

"Crazy." Shino replied

"(laughs) Brings back memories." Brandon said but was stopped by the smell of smoke.

"What the hell.....?" Shino said

Suddenly, the flash fire incinerated the Safari Zone almost instantly.

__________________________________________________________

Ash tidied himself up before knocking on the door. Moments later, Sabrina answered the door.

"Ash! Hi! Long time no see?! Come in." she said

Ash entered and was surprised at how big the place was

"Tea?" Sabrina asked

"No. No thank you." Ash said

Sabrina sat on her couch and looked at Ash.

"So what brings you here?" she asked

"Just thought I would stop by." Ash said

Sabrina laughed

"A fight with Jesse?" she said

"W...What? How'd you....." Ash said

Sabrina just looked at him

"Oh.....I forgot you are psychic....damn...." Ash said

Ash looked around the house feeling foolish when he saw a picture.

"Isn't that......" he said

Suddenly a loud voice was heard.

"ASH!!! ASH KETCHUM!! WE KNOW YOU ARE HERE!! COME OUT!! IF YOU DO NOT, WE, THE IJF WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FORCABLY SEARCH EVERY HOUSE TIL YOU ARE FOUND!!"

Ash and Sabrina looked at one another in confusion.

"Wait!" Jarro shouts.

Shino stops and looks back at him over his shoulder.

"My girlfriend doesn't live in Fuschia. She lives in Violet City." Jarro replies.

"Nonsense. She lives at 453 Prairie Lane and is getting off work at the Pokeball Diner in ten minutes." Shino says.

"Can't lie to a psychic." Akurei adds and follows Shino.

"Don't bother calling. I have disabled all electronic devices." Shino says.

An hour later they arrive at 453 Prairie Lane.

"After you." Shino says grabbing Jarro and shoving him towards the door.

He lets them in and runs straight for the bedroom.

"Oh Jarro. Come on out. It is in your best interest to bring your lovely girlfriend out as well." Shino says sitting down on the couch.

Several minutes later Jarro comes out with his girlfriend.

"Oh. My. God!" She says and leaps into Shino's lap.

"I would like you to help me with something. Awhile back Jarro came home to find you in bed and panting with a picture of me on the floor. What exactly were you doing? Keep in mind you lie to me I will kill him right where he stands." Shino says standing up.

Her face turns bright red and she looks down at her feet.

"I was....." She mumbles.

"So we can hear you." Akurei says.

"I had just had a powerful orgasm moments before he came home that day." She says turning even more red.

A look of confusion comes over Shino's face.

"Well I'll be damned." Shino says reaching behind the couch and pulling out a bean bag gun. Next he pulls out a pokeball.

"What is the meaning of this?" Jarro asks.

"So it was you who attacked those women and broke that window at the restaurant. You also shot your own boyfriend with this as well." Shino says.

Jarro stands there confused.

"You were also the one who attacked me in the forest that day with this guy. (tosses the pokeball and an Aridos comes out.) Of all the people in the world. I would of never guessed you." Shino says.

"That's absurd! She would never shoot me." Jarro says in complete denial.

"No, he's telling you the truth. I have been stalking him for awhile now. That night I was aiming at Shino and you made that comment which pissed me off so I shot you instead." She says.

"Rachel. Why?" Jarro asks walking over to her.

She moves away and stands behind Shino.

"Because you are never here and when you are all you talk about is him so I looked him up online and fell for him. It was love at first sight. I joined several online fan clubs and was going to go find him today but it was too hectic for me." She explains.

Jarro falls to his knees with a broken heart. Akurei reaches into Jarro's coat pocket and pulls out a ring box.

"I guess you were going to purpose to her today, huh?" Akurei says and sets it on the table.

"It's kind of ironic. Tomorrow I was moving out and going to follow Shino around." Rachel says.

Akurei opens the door and walks out followed by Shino.

As they head down the street, Akurei turns to Shino and says, "I am surprised you let him get away with what he said about Karen."

"Me too. I had every intention to kill him or at least put him on life support for a few years, but she did more damage then I ever could of. Besides, with his girlfriend in love with me I am sure he will come after me with even more bloodlust." Shino replies.

Rachel comes running up behind them and leaps onto Shino's back.

"Please let me go with you. I have to be by your side." She says hugging him tightly.

"You can go anywhere you want but as far as being with me that's just not possible." Shino replies.

"So what you are saying is that I can follow you all I want and you won't say anything about it?" Rachel says.

"Pretty much. Just keep in mind that I am pretty much going to act like you aren't there. If you fall behind you will be left behind." Shino says rather coldly.

"That's fine with me. I don't want you to change." She replies and runs back to her house. She comes running back minutes later with a duffel bag.

"RACHEL!! WAIT!! CAN'T WE WORK THIS OUT?" Jarro shouts running after her.

"You had your chance and blew it. Every time you came home all you did was talk about Shino. Not once did you ask about what was new with me. That's why I never let you spend the night, you never cared for me. Just your career. Goodbye Jarro." Rachel says and turns back to run after Shino.

On the roof of a nearby building Scizor stands there with Celebi.

"See everything worked out." Scizor says.

"Yeah, but that intense psychic energy he gave off earlier concerns me. It was stronger then Mewtwo's and possibly even Mew's." Celebi replies.

The next morning Shino is sitting in a diner eating breakfast with a strange looking cast on his leg. Ash and Jesse walk by the window and Shino knocks on the window.

They walk in and sit down with him.

"You have been quite busy since we last saw you. Where did you go after Pokemon Tech?" Ash asks.

"I got kidnapped by some woman." Shino replies not looking at Jesse.

"Is that so? Sounds like you have been enjoying yourself since you left us." Ash says with a smile.

"A wee bit." Shino replies.

After breakfast the three of them walk outside where they are ambushed by a reporter.

"Are you Shino?" He asks.

"Depends. Why are you asking?" Shino replies.

"I am Inu Yasha and I am a reporter for the DeMonmut Newspaper. I just have a few questions. (Shino nods to let him continue.) First off, How did you manage to elude all those people searching for you yesterday?" Inu asks.

"Just out ran them." Shino answers.

"There are rumors that you were caught but managed to escape. Care to elaborate on that?" Inu asks.

"It's true. Agent Jarro did catch me but I talked my way out of it." Shino replies.

"Is that so? Carry to explain?" Inu asks.

"Not really. If you want to know more then ask Agent Jarro." Shino says.

"One last question. How do you feel about having the International Strike Force calling off the bounty and removing you from the wanted list?" Inu asks.

"They did? That's news to me. I think it is a shame. A criminal such as me should be removed from the streets. However, it should be done in a way that isn't harmful to the town. It should be done with speed and precision. Not like Agent Jarro. He endangered the entire town last night with his bold actions." Shino answers.

"Wow, I can't believe you would admit that should be removed from the streets. Or even refer to yourself as a criminal." Inu says shocked.

"Well what do expect? Think about what I have done. The burning of Cinnabar Island. The sinking of the St. Anne. The murder of Lt. Surge. Not to mention all the countless people I have murdered including Agent Lloyd." Shino replies.

Inu writes down everything and when he is done, he looks at Shino.

"Why would you admit to me all those crimes?" Inu asks.

"Its just a list of crimes that I have been accused of. I admit to nothing. I look forward to reading your article." Shino replies and walks off with Ash and Jesse.

"Ash, I need to talk to you about something." Shino says and walks over to a bar. Ash follows and Jesse heads on over to the Pokecenter.

They sit down at a table and get a drink.

"You drink this early in the morning?" Ash asks.

"No, just pop. Anyway, What I am about to tell you I have no recollection of. I am going off of what was said and the events that occurred." Shino says.

"Okay." Ash says nervously.

"The morning I left I woke up to find Jesse sleeping in my bed completely naked." Shino starts.

"WHAT??? HOW COULD YOU??" Ash shouts, standing up knocking the chair over.

"Let me finish. When I went to bed the morning before I went straight to sleep and never got up till the following morning. I had no idea you two were even in town. She called me her lover when she woke up and hopped in the shower. I have no clue what happened that night." Shino says before his drink smashes into his face.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!" Ash shouts and punches Shino in the face with enough force to knock him and his chair over. While he is on the ground Ash starts stomping and kicking him. The entire time tears are streaming down his cheeks. When he is done Shino is laying on the ground bleeding with several broken ribs.

Ash storms out and heads straight for the Pokecenter. He bursts into the room and grabs his bag.

"Let's go Pikachu." Ash says and leaves without saying a word to Jesse.

Shino gets up and dusts himself off. He wipes the blood from the several deep cuts on his face from the glass.

"Never thought I would see the day you would take a beating from Ash." Akurei says sitting in a booth nearby with Diego.

"Neither do I but I guess I deserved it." Shino replies.

Jesse sits on the bed and starts sobbing as Ash climbs onto a bus and it pulls away.
