Dedication: To Sam, for still being my friend despite of recent events 
that will remainnameless.  To Cian, for being the best ever and to
just_another_aaml_fan for also being the greatest in the world.

Disclaimer:  We all know what I'm going to say.  I own pokemon... in my
dreams.  But, Nintendo and a bunch of japanese people own them, not me.
So, no sue-y me, kay?  Kay.

Ages:  Same as last part, but Ashley turned a year older.

A/N:  I will be including a couple songs in here.  One is 'Untitled'
because it will suit the part extremely well.  The other is 'Because
you live'...well, this song will be in Misty's POV while Untitled will
be in Ash's POV.  On with the show.  Popcorn stand is closed by the
way...LOL.

songs will be in 'these thingys'.  Because my computer doesn't want to
save it in italics.

Summary of last part (this is kinda new, let me know if you like it
better.)

Last time, Delia's body was found in the park.  Police believe it was
the same guy who killed Gary.  Ash took off towards the beach and Misty
was in pursuit behind him.  Misty was grabbed by a mysterious figure and
screamed.  Ash heard the scream and went towards where he heard it when
he came face to face with the murderer.
***********************************************************************

"What do you want with me, or Misty?"  Ash yelled furiously at the figure.

"Because, Gary deserved to die and Delia just got in the way.  She was
sweet, but I still had to do it."  The figure, so slyly, said.

"You did my mother???  How did you even know Gary?  He was my friend."

"Not from what I hear.  I had to protect my little Ashy."  The figure
than realized what he said and clapsed his hand over his mouth.

"No one called me that except for Brock and my dad.  But you can't
be my father, he was murdered by Team Rocket."

"Team Rocket has been my family for since I can remember.  I think
this young lady needs to go sleepy-bye.  Don't you think?"  The figure
began to pick up the motionless body of a knocked-out Misty.

"I swear, if you do anything to hurt her, you will pay the ultimate price."

"Aww, my ashy-boy..."

"...I'm not your ashy-boy.  QUIT SAYING THAT!!!"

Ash took a lunge at the figure and knocked him backwards.  The figure got
up and started fighting with Ash.  Ash took a swing at the figure's face,
and knocked his mask off.  The lightning flashed across the rainy sky, revealing
the figure.

"D...d...dad???  How.......I thought...."
"Yes, that was the secret that had killed your mother.  I was apart of Team
Rocket, and they had called me to tell me that they came up with a way for
me to "disappear" from your lives.  When Gary found out that I was with
Team Rocket, I had to kill him.  Your mother saw me do it, and well...
couldn't have her blab, so I followed her to the park and killed her."
"So, what does Misty have to do with this?"
"I needed some way to get you here.  Eventually, you would find out I'm
really with Team Rocket so I figured do you now than face the consequences
later."
"Leave her out of this."
"If you want her, *he jumps up on a branch* wait for me to contact you."

And, with that said, he takes off with Misty along for the ride.  Ash yells
desperately to wake up Misty, but in vain.  He has no choice, but to wait
for him to call.  He slowly walks back to the coffee shop where his friends
anxiously await his arrival.  He pushes open the door and was greeted by
Brock, Ashley, Cian, and some police officers.

"We've been searching all over for you." Brock said.
"Where's Misty?"  Ashley said.
"What happened bro?"  Cian said.
"We know who the killer is."  The police officers said.
"Misty was taken by the killer, still alive I hope.  And I already know who
the killer is.  My dad."

*several people gasp*

"But, dad is dead.  He couldn't have done it."  Cian was just as confused as Ash.
"He did it.  I saw his face.  He used a dummy to make it look like he was killed.
Then he killed Gary because Gary knew who he really was.  Mom was killed cause she
whitnessed him kill Gary."  

Ash sat down on a stool and wiped the stingy tears from his already puffy eyes.

"But why does he need Misty?  She had nothing to do with it?"  Ashley worriedly asked.
"Because he wants me.  He used Misty to lure me to him.  He's suppose to.....

At that exact moment the phone rang.  Ash looked at it with a deathening look.  The
clerk picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello?"
"I....is.....A....ash....t,t,t,t,there?"
"Uhh, yeah..hold on.  Ash, it's for you."
*he takes the phone* "Hello?  Misty?"
"Ash!  I'm so glad I got ahold of you.  You won't believe who did this.."  Misty said.
"I know.  Where are you?"  Ash was so q
"Viridian Forest....There's a big white tree, knock on it 3 times, than 2 times.
It will open and........."

Ash hears a blow delivered to a head, and a thud.  He hears the one voice he
wishes he never heard.

"Hello my ashy-boy."
"Quit calling me that, and where's Misty?"
"Misty can't come to the phone right now.  She's taking a nap."
"You *At this point we would like to let you all know that Ash cusses furiously at
his "father" so we won't be showing what he says.*"
"Ash, you naughty boy.  Well, we'll take care of that.  Go into the Viridian forest
and look for a white tree.  Wait for me there."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because if you don't, Misty dies."
"Ok.  I'll be there."
