In the Blood, part XVIII: Future EmperorIn the Blood, part XVIII: Future Emperor [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Follow Up ] [ Club Index ] Posted by Utahraptor on October 11, 2001 at 22:37:01 In Reply to: In the Blood, Part I: Forbidden Truth posted by Annie on June 03, 2001 at 01:39:57 Ash was in a fairly foul mood. He didn't have to tell them about his personal hygiene, but they had asked. He glared at Pikachu, who was still snickering. He looked up at the door as the comm unit beeped, signaling to him that someone is outside the door. The door slid open and his mother, Delia, stepped inside, pushing back her veils. Ash looked down at the floor, turning red with embarrassment. "Yes, Mother?" he asked meekly. His mother sat next to him. "Ash, dear, your father and I were, ahh, rather disturbed at your description of your hygiene, and knew that wouldn't be proper for a future emperor, plus you need education, so..." Ash looked at her, waiting for her to get to the point. "So we hired a private tutor for you." "WHAT?!" Delia stood abruptly. "I'll let you alone to think this over." she said, walking out the door. Ash stared after her, not really believing what she had said. Hiring a private tutor? He was smart enough to rule his father's building empire one day! Wasn't he? Apparently his parents didn't think so. ~*~*~ Ash glanced around nervously as he followed his father into a part of HQ he hasn't seen before. Must be the education wing for new recruits, Ash thought. He was right. Giovanni lead Ash into a small side room, and ordered him to sit down. "You will wait here for your tutor. You are to be here every morning at 0900. You are to be expected to pay attention and do all your work, and mind your tutor." Giovanni explained in his "the Boss" tone of voice. Ash nodded. Giovanni turned to leave. "Wait!" Giovanni turned around and frowned. "What?" "How long will my lessons each day be?" His father was silent for a minute, then spoke up. "0900 - 1300." He then left. ~*~*~ Ash didn't know what to expect as he sat waiting for his tutor. The tutor walked in suddenly, escorted by two Rocket grunts, scaring Ash out of his seat. The grunts then took one last look around, then left as the tutor unpacked her gear, giving Ash a disapproving look as he scrambled to get up off the floor. The teacher was rather young; looked to be around 28. She wore a dark gray business dress with a red "R" on the left breast pocket. She had dark brown hair pulled back in a tight bun, and hazel eyes. She slammed her books down onto a desk and gave Ash a suspicious grin. "Today, we will start on hygiene." she purred. Ash gulped. He had a feeling this was not gonna be a good day. ~*~*~ Geneva was very curious as to what was going on in the education wing, so she snuck her way there without her parents or any other Rocket knowing. Pikachu was right behind her. They came up to the room they knew Ash was in and peeked through the door, which was opened a crack. They cracked up at the sight of Ash staring at a toothbrush like it was a dead Muk. The teacher, whose name was Ms. Nervana, didn't look up at their snickering. Geneva and Pikachu watched gleefully as Ms. Nervana stood up in exasperation, took the toothbrush, squirted toothpaste on it, and shoved it into Ash's mouth. Geneva and Pikachu were on the floor by now, laughing so hard they held their sides as tears rolled down their cheeks. They looked back at Ash, who looked like a frightened Mareep. Some future emperor, Geneva thought. "Pikapi pika pikachu. (Ash will learn eventually.)" Pikachu whispered. Geneva nodded. They looked back in to see Ash tentatively brushing his teeth. "Pika? (See?)" Geneva snorted. "Don't rub it in." she retorted. They watched the last few hours of the lessons. Ash seemed to have the basics downpat. A few more days of this strict teaching on hygiene and he'll be as well-groomed as their father. Then he'll have to go through teachings from K-6 in 3 months, then onto 7-12 over another 3 years. After the lessons were done, Ash did look a lot better, yet he was still exhausted. He passed Geneva and Pikachu without noticing, that is, until they cleared their throats. Ash turned to stare at them, wide-eyed. "You were not standing there the entire time, were you?" They grinned and nodded. "AARRGH!!" He then glared at them. "I'm going to my room," he snapped. "If Father or Mother ask how it went, tell them it was just great." He then stomped off to his quarters, leaving Geneva and Pikachu laughing all over again. ~*~*~ Geneva stood before her father in his office. Giovanni stroked his Persian's head thoughtfully, then spoke. "I suppose the lessons went well today?" he inquired. Geneva nodded. "Yes, from what I observed. Around 2 weeks, and he'll be a miniature version of you, Father." Giovanni nodded. "Excellant. And of his education in developing his mind?" "Around 4 years max." "Very well then. Dismissed." Geneva turned to leave. "One more thing, daughter." Giovanni called. Geneva stopped and turned around. "You and your brother are to report for physical training at the Rocket training facilities behind HQ at 1500 everyday." Geneva sighed and nodded, then left. Giovanni smirked. He would have to train his children harshly and thoroughly if they were to become apart of his empire. Especially Ash, his son and heir, the world's future emperor. And Geneva...she could make one of his top intelligence officers. Yes...the future was bright for Team Rocket indeed. Giovanni smiled again. These are our finest hours...and the world will be mine forever... Follow Ups: Post a Follow Up: Name: Password: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: > Ash was in a fairly foul mood.
