⚠️ Blood, knife, gun, death ⚠️
Ash shook in place. What was Giovanni doing here? And pet?
Then it clicked.
He was the one who had bought Ash.
"You may be wondering why I have bought you." The older man spoke smoothly. He seemed to glide towards to Ash.
Ash flinched when Giovanni got closer, he tried taking a step back, but his knees finally gave out and he fell with a thud and a yelp.
Giovanni snickered and crouched down in front of the younger male.
"You wouldn't be wrong." Ash finally replied, biting his younger from saying more. Giovanni of course noticed this and he chuckled.
"J broke you didn't she? That makes my job easier." His smile left and he grabbed Ash by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up. Ash responded by grabbing at the evil leaders hands and struggling, trying to get away.
Giovanni scoffed and threw Ash to the ground. Ash felt all the air pushed from his lungs. He coughed and gasped for air;his eyes pricked with tears.
Giovanni tisked and walked back over to the boy.
"I suggest you stop struggling you little prick." He growled out, placing a foot on the boys chest and pressing down hard, blocking the oxygen.
Ash struggled and screamed, clawing at the other man leg.
"HELP!!"
Ash panicked and used his last bit of energy for Pikachu.
'Eterna Forest.'
—-
Dawn, Brock, Misty, and Gary landed Sinnoh and booked it to Eterna Forest. They had gotten the message right before landing. The group called out their bigger and faster Pokémon, riding them to the Forest with ease.
They stopped at the entrance and returned to Pokémon to their respective balls and put them away. They called out for Ash.
"Ash!"
"Ash!!"
"Pika-pi!"
The pouring of their footsteps echoed in the forest.
Dawn smacked her forehead, and obvious idea coming to her. She grabbed one of her Pokeballs, "Go, Pachirisu!"
The small Pokémon popped out and looked at Dawn.
"You have a good sense of smell! Help us find Ash, please!" She exclaim.
The Pokémon nodded and Dawn sighed gratefully. Pachirisu started sniffing around, not leaving a spot untouched. Suddenly the Pokémon stopped, looked back at Dawn, then bolted to where is was just sniffing. The group took off, following after the Pokémon.
They ran for around 500ft before hearing a yelp. They all froze and looked at each other with worry.
Gary pointed to the side and whispered, "I'm gonna see if i can go around."
Dawn opened her mouth to speak but Gary interrupted, "No. I'm going." Then he disappeared.
The three looked at each other with worry, but they knew they had to go on. They burst out of the undergrowth and into the clearing that Ash and Giovanni were in.
Giovanni called out his Persian and grabbed Ash up by the back of his shirt and pulled him close so that he was being held around his shoulders with a knife to his neck.
"Move another inch forward and his neck will be cut wide open; leaving him to bleed out," Giovanni hissed, moving the knife closer Ash's neck.
The group stopped in place, all of them gritting their teeth.
"Let him go you monster!" Brock called out, venom dripping in his voice. Dawn called Pachirisu back to it's ball and put the Pokémon away.
Giovanni rolled his eyes.
"Like your little demand has any control over me." He said, he looked down at his Persian and the Pokémon growled at the group.
The group looked nervously at each other then back to Ash. Ash made eye contact with each of them and gave a small smile, glad to see them.
At this point his chest burned and cracked with each breath, a definite sign of broken ribs.
Pikachu's hair stood on end and his cheeks crackled with electricity.
"Tell you little rat to calm down or it will become Persian's next meal." The adult said.
Ash shuddered and looked at Pikachu, "Hey buddy," he rasped, "calm down a bit, I can't loose you."
Pikachu looked at Ash and narrowed his eyes, but backed away.
"I find it interesting that three children came to stop me with no back up. Why wouldn't you get more man power? Why wouldn't you contact the police?" The evil team leader spoke. Then a lightbulb went off and he smirked.
"But I'm wrong. There isn't three of you is there."
The silence after that sentence was deafening.
The trio looked plus Pikachu looked at each other, they all felt each other's anxiety.
Giovanni frowned, knowing he was correct.
He threw Ash to the ground and the Persian immediately got in his chest, crushing him to the ground. Ash gasped and then screamed in pain. He felt a crack and he cried, tears slipping out freely. The Pokémon purred in delight and looked back at its master.
Giovanni bowed with a smirk and then he spun around, "Come out child! You can't hide forever." He glanced everywhere.
It was dead silent.
Giovanni huffed and he looked down at Ash. He reached to his side and pulled out a pistol. All that could be heard was gasps.
The older man cocked the gun and kneeled down and pressed the gun to the teens temple.
"Come out or the last thing this young boy will see is my face." Giovanni's voice boomed.
There was a moment of quiet and the air felt thick.
"Please don't. I'm coming." Said Gary, walking out of the brush with his hands up in surrender.
Giovanni smirked. He lifted Ash up so that he was sitting, looking at his friends.
And Giovanni proceeded to shoot.
Every.
Single.
One.
Ash screamed and tears ran down his face as his friends fell to the ground. He struggled to get away but the man held him tight, not letting him escape.
Pikachu was left for last.
Giovanni looked to his prized Pokémon then back to the electric rat and nodded.
The Persian jumped on Pikachu and tore him from limb to limb.
After it was all done, Ash had stopped moving, except for the shudders and tears streaming down his face.
He couldn't bare to look at his dead friends and the blood surrounding them. Giovanni looked to Ash and smiled.
"Let's go home, pet."

It's finally done! I'm sorry for taking actual years to write this. Life happened and I had to stop. I never expected this story to get big, which is another reason I didn't write. But anyway, thank you all.
Like always, be smart, be safe.
And stay fabulous.
