Who Framed Marowak Wakback?
Chapter 5
By Marowak Wakback
“WHAT
THE HELL?!!?” Ash screamed as he jumped out of his bed. This action caused
Marowak to get up as well. “How the hell did you get in here?!”
“Through the window.” Stated
Marowak as he pointed to the window. “I figured I’d wait in your makeshift bed,
considering that I’m wanted for murder!”
“No shit! If anyone sees me
talkin’ to you, I’m as good as dead…” There was a pause ‘Wait a sec…’ “Dose anyone
know you’re here?” Ash quickly asked the Earth Morph.
“Not a soul.” Replied
Marowak. Ash sighed a big sigh of relief. “Well Except…” Ash froze.
“Except what?” Ash Growled
while trying his best to keep his patience in check.
“I didn’t know where your office
was, so I asked the Mailman, he didn’t know. The butcher, the policeman, the
cab driver, they didn’t know either! But some of the drunk guys across the
street, they knew.” Marowak explained. Marowak backed up a little bit as he saw
the look of pure anger on Ash’s face.
“So…” Ash hissed through his
teeth “The whole damn town knows that you’re here. Right?”
“Uh, yes.” Marowak nervously
answered, not sure what a good answer to that question would sound like.
‘Snap’
“GET OUT!!!!” Yelled Ash at
the top of his lungs as he lunged at Marowak. He pushed Marowak to the door,
but that was as far as they got for Marowak latched his fingers onto the
doorframe.
“Come on Ketchum! Ya gotta
believe me. You got the wrong Pokemorph. I didn’t do it! I swear!” Pleaded Marowak
but it was no use, Ash continued to try and push Marowak out the door. “This
whole thing is a set-up! I wouldn’t kill anyone without a good reason! It goes
against all of my codes!” He looked back to see Ash was getting ready to tackle
Marowak through the door. “My whole purpose is to…” Ash charged at him, Marowak
let go of the door and did a back flip over Ash’s head. “…Teach both Pokemorphs
and Humans alike the way of the Bushido Warrior.” Marowak Finished.
“Damnit! Stand still!” Yelled
Ash, still trying to get Marowak out of his Office. Ash ran at Marowak again,
but he just sidestepped out of the way.
“Ok. I’ll admit it. I lost my
temper when you showed me those pictures of Zel last night. So I ran back to
the Fire…” Marowak sidestepped Ash again. “…And Ice club. But Zel wasn’t in her
dressing room, so I wrote her a love letter.”
“Whoa there! Hold up!” Ash
panted, out of breath from trying to get Marowak out of his room. “You mean to
tell me in a fit of jealousy, you wrote your girlfriend a love letter?”
“That’s right. I knew that
Zel was just an innocent victim of circumstance.” Stated Marowak.
“I bet you used the old
Lipstick on the mirror routine, right?” Asked Ash while still trying to catch
his breath.
“Lipstick yes, Mirror no.”
Stated Marowak. “I found some paper in her room. Would you like to hear it?”
Marowak eagerly asked. Ash just shrugged and sat down in his chair. “Ok, here
goes:”
Another
looks like his mixed me up again—
you
really do play tricks on me,
don’t
you, gods of love.
Yesterday
felt like a thousand years ago,
at
the same time
I
feel your hands still on my shoulders.
“…Interesting Poem Bonehead,
but why didn’t you leave it there?” Ash asked sitting down in his chair at his
desk and took a shot of Vodka.
“I wanted to see the look of
pure joy when I showed her the poem, so I went home to wait for her, but the
Morph patrol were there waiting for me! So I hade no chose but to run.” Said
Marowak in a fearful tone.
“But why come to me? I’m the
guy that took those pictures of Mr. Tajiri and your girlfriend!” Ash snapped
back at Marowak.
“True.” Marowak admitted.
“But you’re also the guy that’s helped out all of those other morphs in the
past. And all morphs know that when a morph is in a real jam, there’s only one
place to go; Ketchum & Jackson detective agency.” Stated Marowak as he
looked over all the over newspaper article
“Not anymore.” Ash growled in
a low tone while taking another shot of Vodka. Ash looked over to where Marowak
was only to find that he was about to sit in Richie’s dusty old chair. “GET OUT
OF THAT CHAIR!!!” Ash Yelled at the now Stunded and confused Marowak morph for
almost planting his Scaly butt on his chair that hasn’t been sat in since Richie’s
death. “…That’s by Partner’s chair.” Ash Mumbled.
“Ok, but where is your
partner?” Marowak asked as picked up a framed picture of Ash and Richie. “He
looks like a very Calm and… Sober fellow.” Stated Marowak in a sly,
sarcastic tone.
“All right, that’s it! I’m
callin’ the cops!” Ash said as reached for his roder-phone.
“Fine! Go ahead! Call the
cops! I come to you for help and what do you do? Ya turn me in. Well see if I
give a damn! Thanks… for Nothing you bastard!” Marowak yelled and slammed the
office door.
“Well… glad that’s over.”
Stated Ash as he placed down the phone. But he still felt as if something
wasn’t sitting right.
“It’s far from over Ketchum.”
Stated a low voice from right behind Ash. Ash quickly turned around to find
Marowak Wakback starring down at him with a pair of Handcuffs in hand. Before
Ash could react, Marowak slapped the cuffs on Ash’s right arm and the other
half on Marowak's Left arm. “Mr. Ketchum, Your under arrest.” Said Marowak in a
mocking tone.
“How did you get back in here
and where did you get those?!” Ash franticly asked.
“I trained as a Ninja for a
few years. As for the handcuffs, I found them in your closet before you got
back. Now what going to do is…” Marowak never got to finish that though as Ash
got up from his chair and slammed Marowak up against the wall.
“IDIOT!!” Ash yelled in
Marowak’s bony face. “I don’t have keys for these.” He hissed through his
teeth. Just then, the sound of sirens was heard from the out side. Ash and
Marowak looked out to see who it was, what they saw weren’t the police.
“Oh no! It’s the Morph
patrol!” Growled Marowak. “Ya gotta hide me Ketchum.”
“Can’t you just use some of
that Ninja stuff you used earlier?” Ash snapped back.
“Not with you handcuffed to
me I can’t!” Stated Marowak in frantic tone.
“And whom do we have to thank
for that.” Ash sarcastically replied. ‘Although, if they catch us like this.
They’ll just kill me and dip him.’ Ash’s thoughts were interrupted by a voice
on the other side of his door.
“Open up in the name of the
law!” yelled the leader of the Sneasel morphs.
“Come on Ketchum. There’s no
Justice for morphs in this day and age. If they find me, I’m as good as
dipped.” Pleaded Marowak.
“Don’t make us force
ourselves in Ketchum. We just want the bonehead.” Stated the Sneasel Mroph from
the other side of the door.
“Well Ketchum, what are we
gonna do?” Asked Marowak.
“‘We’? What’s with the ‘we’?
They just want the Bonehead.” Stated Ash.
“They
ain’t answering boss. What do we do now?” Ask the second in command, Victor D.
“Hmmm… Joe. Make an
entrance.” Jack signaled to and older Sneasel morph, Joe T.
“…Right.” Replied Joe in a
monotone voice as he took a drag from his Cigarette and readied his Tommy gun.
“Stand back.” Was all the warning he gave his comrades as he shot the doorknob
to Ash’s Office clean off.
The door slowly creaked open
and the 5 Sneasel Morphs stepped in. As they looked around, they spotted Ash
sitting at his desk, looking at the paper. “Oh, hello boys. I didn’t here you
come in. What’s up?” Ash asked.
“Cut the small talk Ketchum.
Where’s the Bonehead wise guy?” Jack asked while waving his pistol around.
“Haven’t seen him.” Replied
Ash and when back to reading his paper.
“What’ch ya readin’ there?”
Asked Jack in a suspicious tone.
“My horoscope. “Situations
that need you to take personal control of handling will come off rather
smoothly. Conversely, the results might not be too desirable when delegating
those tasks.” Stated Ash as he read out loud his Horoscope. The sneasel
morph just rolled his eyes and walk away. ‘Phew’ Ash thought to himself. Just
when Ash thought he could relax, a big thump was heard through out the whole
room from under Ash’s desk.
Jack turned around at the
sound and narrowed his eyes. “…Search the place boys. Look Ketchum, we know the
Bonehead is here. Many people had seen him enter this building, and was
confirmed by several others. So cut the Bullshit.”
“Don’t pull that Law
enforcement crap on me. Now get out before you find yourself in a world of
hurt.” With that said, Ash sweep-kicked the legs of Jack right out from under
him. Jack came done hard and fast. Fall managed to knock a few books off the
shelf above his head and land on Jack head. The other Sneasel Mrophs saw this
and began to snicker, and the snickering turned in laughing.
“Stop that Laughing damnit!!”
Yelled Jack as he picked up one of the books and chucked it at one of the
morphs that was in a straight Jacket, Psi. “One of these days your all gonna
die laughing.” Stated Jack as the Laughing died down. “As for you Ketchum. Step
out of line again, and I have to prove your horoscope wrong. Lets get out of
here boys.” Jack said as they left the room.
Ash waited a few minutes and
then sighed “Ok, there gone.” Ash said as he pushed away from the desk to
reveal Marowak hiding underneath it.
“Thanks Ash. You saved my
scaly butt! How Can I repay you?” Marowak asked as he gave Ash a big bear hug.
“Ack…! For…Starters! You can…
stop…crushing my… Back!!” Ash breathed out.
