…..Hi all readers, do you remember me? I am so terribly sorry I have not updated in a hundred years and unfortunately, I have no good excuse for the delay, I was lazy. But I just want to inform you that this story is very close to the end, it's just this chapter and the next, then the story ends. I will probably make a sequel, but that's only if you want of course!

But as you may have seen, I have started with one more story (wow '8 "stories that I write on now + two one-shots, rewrote" Ash's Lost Father's Return "and another one shot I promised one of my readers to write).

The Truth Hurts
Classic Dress-Out-Trick
Ca.18 Present Times

When the bound boy heard the door opened he solidified, he did not dare move a muscle. Although he did not know if it was Cassidy, Butch, Giovanni or anyone in Team Plasma or Team Rocket was he afraid anyways. He had seen how everyone enjoyed to see him defenseless, what would be the difference now?

N looked at the bound boy with a compassionate glance, he could not understand what his father wanted this boy and why his father had to kidnap the boy. N was about to go up to the boy but suddenly N heard footsteps, N panicked and hid (I don't know where, but he hiding himself.).

Into the room came a big beefy man and kept in a water bottle, the man grinned evilly and sat down on his knees beside the bound boy. He leaned over to the boy's ear and whispered with a terrible contented grin.

"Soon our little key, all your pain will running out..." The man stood up and forced the boy to his bound feet by pulling the boy's black hair upwards, Ash screamed in pain, but it was not heard because of the piece of tape that was over the boy's mouth. "I should not say this but I can not resist. When we're done with you, we will kill you." Ash began to struggle but it only led to more pain, N heard every word and frowned, how could he not realized this before?

"And when we're done with you.." The man dropped Ash's hair and Ash fell to the ground. "Will we go after your friends, especially your little rat." Ash got enough of what that horrible man said, he began to wriggle, try to beat the man even though his hands were tied tightly behind his back, shout during his gag to release him. He had to get away from this man and come back to his friends!

The man began to laugh when he saw that he had done to the defenseless Ash Ketchum began to struggle to escape from this cell. But during Ash's tried to escape happened that he kicked the man, the man stared at Ash with angry eyes and pushed Ash against the wall. The man grabbed Ash's collar and pushed him up against the wall, he pulled away the blindfolded that was in front of the boy's eyes.

"Listen very carefully to me, for what I will say can save your little rat's life." The man said in a deep voice, Ash swallowed his saliva in fear when he saw the eyes on this man. "The more you bothered with us, the slower death your yellow rat will get." And with those words the man released Ash and let him fall on the cold floor once again. The man sat down on his knees and quickly pulled off the tape in front of the boy's mouth and shoved the bottle in his mouth.

"I think you should not get any water, but my bosses do not want you to die yet." Ash drank so much he could, his mouth had felt so dry. N biting himself on his own hand to not yell at the man, N had been cheated, cheated more than once..

He has been cheated since the first day he went into his "father's" house.

The man pulled the bottle away from the thirsty teenager and put the tape piece back to its "right" place. The man stood up and was about to go, but turned and grinned evilly down at the boy and..:

SLAP

The man walked away with a satisfied smile on his lips, he left the abused boy. Ash could not move, the kick he had received on his stomach had really hurt him, a few tears ran down from his cheeks.

N had seen enough, although he did not like Pokémon trainers could he not accept what his father did to the boy. N went cautiously from his hiding place and went against the weakened boy. The green-haired teenager could see into Ash's eyes and saw a little bit of hope.

"Mmmn pphw?" N raised an eyebrow, he could not hear what Ash said as he was gagged. He shook off his thoughts and remove the tape of Ash's mouth. Before the boy could said something so N put a finger in front of his own mouth and whisper "Ssschh", Ash nodded and let his rescuers remove those annoying ropes

After a few minutes so low that a pile of rope on the stone floor and at the top of the pile, there was a piece of duct tape.

Ash stretched his arms and looked a little suspicious at N, he was not quite sure of the older teenager. Sure he had saved him, two times, but he did not know if this was even a part of Giovanni's evil plan.

N could see how the young boy "sneak peeked" up at him, but who could blame him for being suspicious.

N took a deep breath and tried to get the boy's attention with using hand movements, lucky for N he got Ash's two brown eyes against him. N pointing towards the door, Ash nodded and stood up.

"I will soon come to you Pikachu" Figured Ash with the first smile he has had since he was taken to his uncle. Ash could not wait to get to his yellow friend and feel Pikachu's fur between his fingers.

With that thought Ash and N leaved the room and left the pile of rope on the floor alone in the room, but this time was the rope alone, there was no defenseless boy who was tied there anymore.

May had closed eyes and hugged Pikachu hard, she was not such a big fan of flight. But she was not going to let herself be left behind in Kanto.

Pikachu hardly not even felt that May almost crushed him with a hug, he would not even care if there was an open ketchup bottle in front of him. Pikachu looked out the window and looked at all fluffy clouds, he really missed Ash.

May was both relieved but still terrified by the idea that she .. They would soon save Ash. May opened her eyes and looked down at the yellow mouse, her heart ached when she could see the worry and grief in Pikachu's black eyes.

"Everthing will be good.."

"Pikapi.." Whisper Pikachu when a lone tear ran down from his cheeks. But soon all heard a quiet little pikayawn, everyone smiled. Pikachu broke away from the brunette's hug and went to bed on their own seats. He used his tongue to wash his paws and went around in a circle until he thought the place looked comfortable out, he hugged his own tail.

May smiled when she saw when the yellow mouse tucked himself to sleep "When I think of it had Pikachu has always been the hard type.. He protected always Ash, but now I see a completely different side of Pikachu." May understood why Pikachu had been so overprotective of Ash.

Norman looked at the "Gary" and raised an eyebrow, where do he recognized that voice? There was one thing he knew anyways, it was that Gary was not Gary.

Jenny had a laptop in front of herself and searched for "Team Plasma", she found many facts about them. The blue-haired police woman frowned when she realized that her cousin's cousin's mother's daughter granddaughter was right about that Team Plasma remained in Unova

Flashback

"Oh hey umm ... what are you to me again?" Laughed a young blue-haired teenage woman.

"Umm I'm your…" What was she to the young Officer Jenny? "Never mind what I am to you.."

The young Jenny frowned and knew it was something serious "What is wrong?" Jenny signed, this could take a while..

"It's a long story.."

"Go ahead, I have time." And with those words from the woman on the other side of the screen Jenny began to explain everything about what had happened, throughout the story heard the young woman carefully at her grandmother..?

"Hmm.. it sounds-" The young Jenny's eyes widened. "Did you said Team Plasma?"

"Yes.. Do you know something about them?"

"Yes they usually go around town and try to convince the trainers to release their Pokémon free, but I've noticed that they're doing something fishy.."

Flashback End

The conversation ended with Jenny found out that Team Plasma had their HQ in Unova, but unfortunately she did not hear anything about where exactly their headquarters located.

But now where they on the right direction, Jenny could see Unova when she looked out.

May leaned forward and looked out the window, she could see Unova.

"Soon Ash will we save you.." Thought May while she put her hands to her heart.

It is teeming with guards, how would they be able to come out? Ash and N were trapped. There was not a chance in a million that they could- nevermind.

Ash gave N a look that meant follow-me-and-don't-said-any-questions, N nodded confused but followed the boy. Ash took them to a small room full of clothes.

"He're not using the oldest trick in the book.. Right? It works only in books, movies and fanfictions. There's not a chance in a million that he would think that this stupid-" Ash searched through all the clothes after a few who were in his size, the mature teenager sighed. "Nevermind.."

"You do not seriously think that just because we dress like them, they will not recognize us?" Ash interrupted his quest for a t-shirt, he already had a pair of black trousers hanging on the shoulder.

"It always works in the movies.." Murmured Ash when he turned his attention back to finding clothes that fit him.

"What was I thinking? He is just a kid.."

"Umm you Ash?" Ash picked up a black T-shirt and looked at N.

"Yes?"

"Why do my father wants you?" Ash could not escape a little shiver when he heard the hatred in N's voice when he said "father".

But there was only a problem for Ash to answer that question. "I don't know" Answer Ash. To be honest, Ash had thought of that idea ever since Butch brought him here to his "uncle".

"I really do not know what they want from me.." N nodded at the answer and went to all the clothes to find some clothes for him. "What about you?" The statement surprised N, what did the boy meant about that?

"What do you mean?"

"You're kind, not like all the others here.." Ash threw a sweater to N, N caught the shirt and looked confusedly at the boy. He could not understand this boy. Sometimes was he just like a immature child, but sometimes was he like someone else, N could not explain this feeling.

After a few minutes of searching did them finally clothes that fit them, they changed around and walked out of the room and pretended as if they were ordinary Team Plasma members. But to N's surprise worked the trick, all the guards let them pass by without stopping them.

In a few floors higher up satellite both Team Rocket's leader and Team Plasma's. In his hand was held a glass of wine, Giovanni took a small sip and saw how the green-haired man just sat still.

"How can you be angry on this beautiful day? We have my nephew in safe custody and no one know where we'll take him."

"I have a nagging feeling that tells me that something is wrong, and I think that it may be due to N.." Giovanni frowned, he knew that gut feeling often had right.

"He is right.. Something is wrong.."
