Disclaimers: I don't own Pokémon. Nintendo and Game Freak own it. I don't own Formula One. The FIA owns it. Keith Terrell is my character, so I own him. Writer's Notes: Ok, I'm back after a VERY long hiatus!!! Now that I've found some way to get my fanfics on FF.net, I can now get back to work on this Pokémon/Formula One fanfic. Which has had more delays than any video game company. Get ready for some more Keith Terrell viciousness, Suicune Vs. Mewtwo, flash bombs, Brock on a motorcycle, bullets flying all over the place, Ash in kill mode, a Pokémon battle, Pokémon evolution, Scizor, Speeding and anything else I might have missed. I have been typing Suicune wrong as of late. I spelled the Legendary Dog's name as S-U-I-C-I-N-E and I thought it was spelled. Then, I look in my Pokémon Crystal game guide and saw the correct spelling of Suicune as S-U-I-C-U-N-E. So, my bad. Now that my little announcement about the name of one of the Legendary Dogs is done, let's get this show on the road!!! Ash Ketchum: Formula One Driver Chapter 13: Chock Full Of Action Or Your Money Back!! The police, the Elite Four, the Death Rockets, Ash, Duplica, Brock, Lorelei, Meowth and Pikachu were all in shock after watching Mewtwo take control of Keith, but then he broke out of the trance and began attack the Psychic Pokémon. "Holy shit!! Keith is attacking Mewtwo!! That's impossible!" Ash yelled out as the others just watched. Mewtwo tried to get Keith off, but the American just intensified his attacks. "You like that?!!! HUH?!!! I'll make you sorry for trying to get in my brain, you genetic freak!!!" Keith yelled out as he continued to punch Mewtwo hard in the head, "Get off me, insolent pest!!!" Mewtwo used a psychic blast and Keith went flying off of the powerful Pokémon, landing on a police car. The Death Rockets were planning on capturing Mewtwo and bringing it back to Giovanni, if the Psychic Pokémon ever shown up. The leader was already talking to Giovanni via cell phone. "Sir. We have found the American. And we also have found Mewtwo, the Psychic Pokémon." The Death Rocket leader into his cell phone, "Mewtwo?!! Capture him at all costs. That is an order. As for the American, if Mewtwo doesn't finish him off, kill him yourself." Giovanni ordered, "Yes sir." The leader said. Keith groaned in pain as he got off the car and onto his feet. He reached into his pocket and got out Suicune's Poké Ball. "Now you've really pissed me off, asshole!! Go, Suicune!!!!" Keith yelled out as he tossed the ball into the air. Suicune materialized from the ball and landed on the ground, where it saw Mewtwo and started growling. "Suicune!! Why are you with this... parasite?!!" Mewtwo asked telepathically, [This "parasite" you call him, nursed me back to health after I was attacked by you!!!! He's my friend and I won't let you harm him!!] Suicune answered, "You were beaten because you are weak!!! Being trained by this human has proved to me that you are weak." Mewtwo said telepathically, [Weak, am I? Eat this and tell me if I'm still weak!!!!] Suicune charged at Mewtwo and used Bite, a Dark type move on Mewtwo. Psychic Pokémon, even Mewtwo are weak against Dark moves. Suicune bit Mewtwo hard in the upper body and went down on one knee. "I guess I was wrong. You're not as weak as you look." Mewtwo groaned in pain, [You're damn right I'm not weak!!] Suicune said confidently, "Suicune, use Slash!!! Let's shut this freak of nature up!" Keith yelled out. Suicune charged Mewtwo with its claws fully exposed and slashed Mewtwo many times. The Psychic Pokémon grabbed Suicune and tossed it around like a rag doll and crashing into a Death Rocket command vehicle. Keith took out Scizor's Poké Ball and tossed it into the battle. Scizor saw Mewtwo and didn't wait for any orders from Keith. [That's my friend you attacked, asshole!!!] Scizor said angrily, charged at the Psychic Pokémon and used Megahorn on Mewtwo. The powerful Psychic Pokémon didn't even see it coming because Scizor was so fast. Bug attacks are very effective against Psychic Pokémon, so Keith knew a few things about Pokémon after all. Mewtwo fell to the ground, but got back to its feet very slowly, wincing in pain the whole way up. Suicune recovered and used Hydro Pump on Mewtwo, crashing the giant Pokémon into a rock wall and the constant water pressure kept pounding on Mewtwo. Scizor finished the job with another Megahorn and Mewtwo fell to the ground. The Psychic Pokémon got its ass kicked!! Keith, Scizor and Suicune celebrated their win over the powerful Pokémon. "Ugh. I underestimated you. Remember this, I will come back to destroy you. And I will do it in your home country!!" Mewtwo said evilly as it stared at the three, "Try destroying me in my home country. Then, you'll have the United States Armed Forces and every American trying to kill you. Just pray that I get you first. Now, get out of here, you bastard!!" Keith yelled out and kicked Mewtwo hard one more time before turning around and walking back to the others. Mewtwo disappeared once again, while staring down Keith. The Death Rockets started cursing themselves for not catching the Psychic Pokémon, but Mewtwo did weaken Keith enough, making their job a bit easier. "We might not have gotten Mewtwo, but that American is weakened now." The Death Rocket leader said as a sniper got into position to fire at Keith without anybody knowing. Will, Karen, Bruno and Koga got Lance back on his feet after watching Keith beat the crap out of Mewtwo. "I think we should get the hell out of here, right now!!! This is becoming a warzone!!!!!" Will said, "I am not fighting that guy. EVER!! He could kill me after what I just seen him do to that very powerful Pokémon." Bruno said, "Even with my Ninja stealth, he could kill me easily." Koga added, "We must regroup for now. But, I will get my hands on him. Then, he, Ketchum and the rest of those F1 drivers will be sorry for attacking us." Lance said before groaning in pain as the Elite Four helped him leave the area. ********* The Death Rockets, nor Keith and the others know that the two occupants in the rally car were parked on a hill overlooking the site. Right now, the two people are having an argument. "You almost killed us, goddammit!!! Watch where you're going!!!" The officer argued as she got out of the Subaru Rally Car with a high-powered rifle, "ME?!!!! That's how rally drivers race!!! You panicked every time I take a turn sideways!!!" The driver shot back, ready to take off. "Who do you think you are anyway?!!!!! Forget it!!! I'll yell at you later!!! I got to shoot some Death Rockets." The female officer said as she got into firing position and the car hid itself behind a rock. The officer found the sniper ready to fire at Keith. Without any further hesitation on her part, she aimed and fired at the sniper, killing him. Everybody jumped at the sound of the rifle going off and there was a lot of panicking going on. "They're firing!!! Get in here, Keith!!!" Ash yelled out and Keith ran and dove back inside the house. The Death Rockets tried find the shooter and started firing all over the place. "Who shot at us?!! WHO SHOT AT US?!!!" The leader yelled out. The officer ran back to the car and took off down a side road. The Death Rockets didn't even know they were there. Keith panted for air, brushed himself off and took out a Poké Ball. "Come back out, Scizor!" Keith said and the Poké Ball opened, revealing the Bug/Steel Pokémon. [Hi, again. What's shaking, boss?] Scizor asked, "I need you to go to the Ferrari and get some remote control Flash Bombs. The Death Rockets are going nuts because somebody shot one of their guys. Make sure they don't see you because their guns are so powerful, they will make you into Swiss Cheese in no time." Keith said, [Leave it to me. I'll use Agility and they won't even notice me.] Scizor said. The Pokémon jumped out of a window and looked around the side of the house. The Bug Pokémon saw the Death Rockets still looking for the shooter and firing away, then they looked away from the Ferrari for about 10 seconds. It was enough for Scizor to use Agility, get the bombs from inside the Italian sports car and get back to the house. "Keith, what are you planning to do?" Brock asked as Scizor returned and gave the bombs to Keith. He congratulated the Pokémon and took out its Poké Ball. "Great Job, Scizor. Return." Keith said as the Bug/Steel Pokémon returned to inside the Poké Ball and then turned to Brock. "Getting all of us out of this death trap. I ordered Scizor to get the Flash Bombs in my 550. We'll blind them, run to the cars and get the fuck out of here. I'm not sure what you're going to do, Brock." Keith said, "I'll use this." Brock said as he pushed the motorcycle towards them, "Hope you don't fall off that thing and have your brains splattered all over the road, Evel Knievel." Ash said and Keith started to snicker for a second, "Evel Knievel. Why don't you go jump Snake River Canyon in a rocket?" Keith asked and started to laugh out loud for a second. He then stopped and reached into the backpack. "Who?" Brock asked, "Uh... never mind." Keith answered bluntly. He took out some flash bombs from the backpack and set it on remote detonation. "What is that, Keith?" Duplica asked, looking at the tube like item. "A U.S. Military issue Flash Bomb. This thing explodes and covers the area in a blinding light. Allowing the user to escape ambushes. And we need them!!" Keith said as he armed one, "Those Death Rockets are getting more worked up by the minute. I haven't seen this much gunfighting since those deathmatch PC games I play." Meowth said as he looked out the window at the carnage, [Damn right, Meowth. You're worse than those guys outside.] Pikachu said. Then suddenly, Meowth's ears perked up and saw a purple beam heading right for the window. "INCOMING!!! HEADS UP!!!" Meowth yelled out. All of a sudden, a Psybeam shot though a window and barely missed hitting Ash in the face. The beam did cut his face a little and blood was oozing out. "The hell was that?!!" Keith yelled out and took out a gun, looking around to see who fired at them. "You won't get away, Terrell!! Let's have a Pokémon battle!!" A Death Rocket member said with an Alakazam by his side. Keith reached for Scizor's Ball, but Ash stopped him. Ash was full of anger and got out Chikorita's Poké Ball. He wanted to fight real bad. "He's mine!!! That son of a bitch!! Go, Chikorita!!!" Ash yelled out as Chikorita popped out of the Poké Ball. Before she leaped on Ash and smothered him with affection as usual, she saw Ash's cut on his face. [Hey! You harmed my trainer, buddy!!] Chikorita said angrily, [I was aiming at the other guy!! He had to get in the line of fire.] Alakazam said, [That's it!! You're mine!!!!!] Chikorita charged at the Psychic Pokémon and used a very powerful Tackle attack. Alakazam tried to counter, but Chikorita still kept on attacking with Vine Whip. "Don't let up on your attacks, Chikorita!!! Keep beating it!!!" Ash yelled out, "Dammit, Alakazam!!! Use Psywave!!!" The Death Rocket ordered. Chikorita was hit with Psywave and couldn't move. It was followed up by a Confusion attack. As Alakazam prepared to finish Chikorita off, Meowth used some stealth maneuvers and nailed Alakazam with Quick Attack. "Meowth!! Fury Swipes!!!" Ash yelled out and Meowth went to work, cutting up Alakazam like a scratching post. As Meowth was keeping Alakazam occupied, Ash used a Full Heal potion on Chikorita to rid the paralysis and confusion symptoms. Brock looked on and wondered how Ash could have gotten all this anger from. When he and Misty were traveling with him all those years ago, Ash was a happy-go-lucky kid with dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master. Now, he's in Formula One with a giant hatred for Team Rocket. "I've never seen Ash or any of his Pokémon fight so fiercely before, nor have I ever seen Meowth this powerful." Brock said as he watched Alakazam and Meowth trading hits back and forth, "Well, that's what happens when you were attacked and nearly left for dead 4 years ago. The memories and anger don't leave you. It just bottles up inside you and then... BOOM!! You let it all out in one giant fight. I've seen Eddie Irvine do it before on some NASCAR drivers last year." Keith said as he watched with the others, "Chikorita. Do you want to continue?" Ash asked. All Chikorita did was get back on its feet and growl angrily at Alakazam, who was now beating up Meowth. Ash didn't argue with Chikorita. "Ok. Get him!!!!" Ash yelled out and Chikorita used Tackle on Alakazam, who stopped beating poor Meowth to the ground. [Huh?!! Why won't you stay down?] Alakazam asked, surprised to see Chikorita still willing to fight. [You hurt my trainer!! And now I'm going to open a giant can of whoop ass!!!!] Chikorita said angrily, [Ha. In your dreams!] Alakazam started to laugh, but stopped when Chikorita started to gather sunlight for the most powerful Grass attack in history. Solar Beam. "Oh, crap. Alakazam! Use Reflect!!!!" The Death Rocket ordered. Alakazam raised its hands and a reflecting barrier appeared before it. Solar Beam is a powerful attack, but with Alakazam using Reflect, Chikorita will have to endure half of Solar Beam's attack. Chikorita knew the risk, but she has always been a risk taker. The Grass Pokémon took in all the sunlight it could and Ash saw that she was ready. "Ok, Chikorita. Fire Solar Beam!!" Ash ordered, [Buckaroo Banzai!!!!] Chikorita yelled out and fired a fully charged Solar Beam. Alakazam felt the full power of Solar Beam crash right into the Psychic Pokémon, but half of that attack power was bounced back at Chikorita. Chikorita was knocked back and Alakazam fell to the ground. "Get up, Alakazam!!" The Death Rocket yelled out, "Damn!! That attack took out both Pokémon. This could go either way, because both Pokémon are so weak." Brock said. The Solar Beam and Reflect moves took it out of both Pokémon. "Looks Like Chikorita is down for the count. This is better than watching this year's Indianapolis 500. And that was a great race." Keith said as he took out a pack of potato chips and started to eat, but they would soon be wrong. As Chikorita struggled to get back up, she felt somewhat weird. [What's wrong with me? I feel strange. Huh?] Chikorita's entire body started glowing white. Because Chikorita survived that bounced back Solar Beam blast that was the signal for her to evolve to Bayleef. "Wow. Chikorita's evolving into Bayleef!!" Ash said excitedly, "This is a Pokémon evolving? I'll be damned. I've never seen this before." Keith said, watching the evolution process unfold before everyone. "Oh, shit." The Death Rocket said as he and Alakazam stepped back as Chikorita finally became Bayleef. [Oh, yeah!! I'm new and improved!! You're in for it now, you son of a bitch!!!!] Bayleef said and she attacked Alakazam with Razor Leaf. It was more powerful than before thanks to her evolution. [AHHH!! NO!!!! Get back!!!!!] Alakazam yelled out as it tried to defend itself from the attack, but she was now too powerful for Alakazam and was knocked out. "Goddammit!!!! I'll get you, Ketchum!!!" The Death Rocket said as he got out another Poké Ball, but met Keith's Scizor right in front of him. "You want to fight me next?" Keith asked. The Death Rocket saw the fire in Scizor's eyes and thought differently about fighting Keith's powerful Bug Pokémon. So, he recalled Alakazam and ran out of the house for dear life. "Loser." Keith said. After the battle was over, Bayleef pushed Ash to the ground and nuzzled her nose in his face. "Hey, cut it out, Bayleef. I know you're happy about evolving, but we're not out of the woods yet!" Ash laughed as the newly evolved Grass Pokémon still smothered him with affection. Brock looked around and he didn't see Duplica anywhere until she came into the room with a metal box with a lock on it. "Does anyone know how to pick locks? My Pokémon is in its Poké Ball and was locked in here by those robbers." Duplica said. Keith took a look at the lock and Scizor used one of his claws to break the lock and open the box. "I got the next best thing right here in Scizor." Keith said. Duplica opened the box and took out a Poké Ball. It opened and something that resembled living grape gelatin appeared in Duplica's arms. "Ditto! I'm so happy that you're safe!!" Duplica said as she hugged her Pokémon, relieved to know that Ditto was all right. "What the hell is that?!!! It looks like a grape gelatin mold!!!" Keith yelled out when he first saw Ditto, "It's a Ditto. A Pokémon that can shape shift itself into other Pokémon and have their own moves copied as well." Ash answered, "Well, I'll be damned. Learn something new everyday." Keith said, "Ash, thank you for helping me. If it wasn't for you, Brock and that other guy, who knows what might have happened." Duplica said gratefully, "Don't mention it. Us F1 drivers just love to get in trouble." Ash said as Duplica called Ditto back to its Poké Ball. Ash turned around to see Keith, Brock and Scizor look outside to see the Death Rockets regrouping for another assault. This worried Keith the most. "We can't last for very long if those guys are planning another attack. Looks like it's time to go." Brock said, "I second that." Keith said as he picked up the bag filled with flash bombs. He looked outside and saw that they were distracted for a minute. "Time to go." He said as he took out a flash bomb and handed it to Scizor, along with a pair of sunglasses that was made for Pokémon. [Oh, I know what to do, boss.] Scizor said as the Bug Pokémon placed the shades over its eyes, took the bomb and ran outside. Ash and Bayleef saw this and let Ash recall her back into the Poké Ball. "Keith, what are you planning to do?" Brock asked, "Just something I use to do to the bullies during my school days in New York." Keith answered, "Are you planning on having Scizor run in there and drop a flash bomb and set it off?" Ash asked, "I did that with homemade stink bombs and I was never beat up for doing it!!!" Keith answered as the Death Rockets saw Scizor drop the flash bomb right in the middle of the group and set it off. The giant flash blinded the Rockets real good and Scizor ran back to Keith, who recalled him as soon as it was in range. The area was covered in blinding light. ********* "LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!" Keith yelled out as the area was lit up brighter than anything ever seen before. Ash took Duplica's hand and ran to the Supra while Brock took off on his new motorcycle, Pikachu and Meowth were already inside the car. Ash and Brock were long gone as Lorelei got into the Ferrari, but Keith opened the trunk and got out a giant grenade. "Keith!! What are you doing now?!!" Lorelei asked, watching Keith take out another remote detonator. "Just sending those bastards a little goodbye present. Stay in the car!" Keith said as he armed the bomb and walked to where the Death Rockets were, still affected by the flash bomb exploding right in front of them. Keith climbed to the top of one of the vehicles. The Rockets were not aware that he was standing over them. "Fuck, I can't see. That thing is lethal." One Death Rocket said, "Oh, this thing is much... WORSE!!!!!!" Keith yelled out and dropped the giant bomb on the Rockets and leaped off the vehicle. "What the?!!!" That was the only thing one Rocket managed to get out as Keith pressed the detonator, blowing up all the vehicles and killing all the members of the Death Rockets. The explosion knocked Keith to the ground, but he picked himself up, jumped to the Ferrari and got hell out of the area in less than 10 seconds. Just 2 miles down the road, the group decided to slow down and stop or they might crash and burn. "I think Team Rocket will reconsider their plans about killing me after what I just did to them!!" Keith said as he got out of his car, "Geez, Keith. You didn't have to nuke the whole goddamn place." Ash said, "It was me or them!!! I had to kill them all! It's every man for themselves in war!!" Keith said confidently and Brock just shook his head. "This guy is nuts." Brock said to himself, "Brock, Keith is much worse when he's with the other drivers." Ash said, "Yeah. He and his buddies were like that when trashed the Williams motorcoach in Austria this past year. They tp'd the whole place." Meowth said, [And he gave Michael one hell of a giant wedgie at the Nurburgring.] Pikachu added. This was now beginning to scare Brock. "Um... okay. He is worse!! Just don't tell me anything else!!!" All of a sudden, a blue car sped by and done a 180 turn and came to a stop near the group. "Hey. What is a World Rally Car doing here? Is there a FIA World Rally event here?" Keith asked as he looked at the Subaru, "That's a nice looking car. I wonder if I could find one of those on sale anyplace?" Duplica asked and then, the doors flew open and the two occupants came out. One had Ash's same hairstyle, same height, same build. This guy almost looked like Ash. The other was a police officer and Keith freaked out, pulled out his gun and aimed for her head. The female officer took out her rifle and was ready to blow Keith's head off. "Drop the gun, now!!! Drop it!!!" The female officer ordered, but Keith didn't comply because he was thinking about what happened to him in Saffron City. The driver of the car came out, spotted Ash by his Toyota and something clicked inside his mind. "Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" The driver asked, "That's my look you're stealing, buddy!!!" Ash said to the driver, "I didn't steal it!! I got it from a guy in some racing series who looked like a friend of mine!!" The guy shot back. Ash looked at him for a few more seconds and then, something in his mind went off. "Hey, I do remember you!!! It is you, Richie!!" Ash said, "Ash Ketchum! I thought I would never see your sorry ass again." Richie said and he and Ash hugged each other. As this was going on, Keith remembered something from earlier today. "Holy shit!!! Didn't I hit you with my car in Saffron City?!!! Why are you still alive?!!! You should be dead!!" Keith yelled out as he kept his gun aimed at the officer, while she aimed her rifle at his head. "Hit me? Oh, you must have hit one of my sisters." The officer said as still kept her rifle aimed at the F1 driver, "No way!!! You're a clone?!!!" Keith asked as he lowered his gun and tossed it back in the car, "We're not clones. My sisters all have the same DNA." She said. This was now too much for Keith. "AHHHHH!!!!! This is something out of those damn sci-fi stories Ronin reads!!!!" Keith yelled out and started to panic. Meowth appeared from Ash's car to see what was going on. "Hey, don't I remember you? I remember your face from somewhere long ago." Meowth said, looking at the officer. "Huh? A talking Meowth? Only Team Rocket and another kid had a... no way." She stopped and took a good look at Ash. Then, she remembered his face. "Ash Ketchum? Is that you, Ash?" She asked in pure surprise, "Huh? You know me?" Ash asked, "Of course I remember you. I'm the Blackthorn City Officer Jenny. I was on duty when that Michael Schumacher guy brought you to the hospital after Team Rocket attacked you. I still remember that night, when I accused Michael of kidnapping you." The officer said, "What? Didn't I slice up your face back in 2001?" Meowth asked, "Yeah. Your attack left me with a few scars on my face. Makes me look a bit evil, wouldn't you say?" Jenny said, "Whoa!! A woman that rather show scars on her face instead of covering them with makeup?!!! That's rare. You know, my friend Riley would absolutely like you." Keith said, "Riley Jenius? The Canadian driver from British American Racing who gets jealous of other drivers with beautiful women by their sides?" Officer Jenny asked, "Yeah, that's him. My crazy friend." Keith said, "You watch Formula One also, Officer?!! Why are all of our F1 fans female, Keith?!!" Ash asked, "You don't hear me complaining about it." Keith answered, "Hey, I watch F1 too!!" Richie said, "Exclude Petter Solberg there." Keith said. Richie gave him a death look and turned away while muttering some bad words. "Well. To add my two cents, some of you guys have the looks and most of you are rich from those multi-million dollar contracts you guys signed in blood." Brock said, "I signed my Ferrari contract in my blood in Monaco 2004. Hell, Ash did the same when he started his career with Ferrari in 2003." Keith said, "You signed your contracts in blood? That's a new one." Duplica said, "It must be a new trend. These drivers all do some crazy stuff once in a while to keep themselves amused." Lorelei said, "Actually, Michael and I asked them for a copy of the contract. I signed the official one first and then sign my name on the copy with our blood. I keep the blood signed ones as little mementos." Ash said, "Hell, when Francois Deletraz joined Arrows, he sent a copy of his contract home to Paris so his family could mount it on a wall and he kept another copy and has placed it on his fireplace in his house next to the Arrows shop." Keith said, "Back to Riley. I honestly think he's kind of cute. I feel so sorry for him sometimes. I just wish I could meet him one day and take away all of his sorrows and worries. Only to be replaced with love and understanding." Jenny said dreamily. All of a sudden, Keith and Ash looked at each other before they stifled their laughter before one of them let loose. "You like Riley Jenius?!!! YOU ACTUALLY LIKE RILEY JENIUS?!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!" Ash said and started laughing hard and pounded the roof of the car. Pikachu also started laughing hard and rolled around on the roof of the Toyota. "That's the funniest thing I've ever heard!!!" Ash laughed loudly. "Oh, that's a good one!!! You like Riley Jenius!! HA HA HA!!!" Keith was also laughing his head off and the two finally stopped after a few minutes. "Honestly, Riley is a nice guy, but he doesn't have much upstairs." Keith said, "What? Upstairs?" Jenny asked, "He's kind of an idiot is what Keith is talking about." Lorelei answered "But, he's so cute. I feel so sorry for him. Especially after what he went through when he lost the Canada race." Jenny said, "Well, this is a first. Riley won't believe that somebody actually wants to be with him. That guy is so out there. It's amazing he can even race as hard as he does in F1. Almost won Canada if he didn't screw up in the hairpin." Keith said, "Yeah. When we tell him this, he'll go, 'What?!!! Some girl actually wants to be with me?!!! You're lying!! No girl likes my sorry ass!!! AHHHH!!!!' And then, he'll run down pit lane, screaming his head off. It's a beautiful site to see." Ash added, "So, where do you think we should go now?" Brock asked, "Back to Pallet. Mom is probably worried about me." Ash answered, "Yeah. That's fine with me. I got to check my Ferrari for anything that might break." Keith said, "So, you two want to come with us to Pallet? Mom always loves a lot of company." Ash asked, looking at both Richie and Duplica. "Sure. I haven't seen your mother in years, Ash. Last time was the Pokémon League at Indigo back in 1999." Richie said, "I'm game. I haven't visited Pallet Town at all. And I would love to meet your Mom, Ash." Duplica added, "Well, It's a nice place. You'll just love it and Mom always likes visitors to boot." Ash said, "So, when we get there, I'll tell you everything you want to know about Riley. Where he's born, his hometown, his favorite food, favorite ice cream, favorite comfort food, favorite way to slack off. I'll tell you everything you ever want to know about my little friend, Riley." Keith said, "Actually, I know a lot about him. I go to his website every day whenever I'm doing paperwork." Jenny said, "What?!! He has a website? How come I don't have a website?!!" Keith asked, "I have my own site also. Every driver has their own website." Ash said as Keith muttered something under his breath about not being smart enough to make his own site and getting back in the 550 Maranello. "Um... hey, I got to get back to Blackthorn City. I wish I could take up on your offer about telling me everything I don't know about Riley, Keith." Jenny said, "So, do you need a lift back?" Richie asked, "No. I got this. Besides, you're too crazy behind the well of that damn thing." Jenny said as she tossed a Poké Ball in the air and a cute Natu came out and into Jenny's arms. "I found this Natu a while ago. It knows Teleport and my car is next to the last Pokémon Center I went to." She said, "Well, take care of yourself, Officer." Ash said, "Thanks, Ash. And remember, I'm on your side. I don't give a shit what everybody says about F1. At least you guys have the balls to stand up against Team Rocket. Well, so long." Jenny said, "Bye." Everybody said in unison and Jenny's Natu used Teleport. Moments later, the Blackthorn City Officer was gone. "Well, let's get back to Pallet." Ash said and everybody agreed with him. Brock on the other hand, looked like he wasn't ready to go. "Hey, Ash. Go without me. I have to do some things to do first." Brock said, "Ok. You promise to come straight to Pallet after?" Ash asked, "Yeah. I'll be there." Brock answered. The group drove off for Pallet, leaving Brock deep in thought once again. He was thinking about all that has happened to him the past few years and all of the events that has transpired in such a short time with Ash and Keith. But, he was thinking about Suzie. She came all this way just to see him for a reason he doesn't know. He is just afraid of having another heartbreak again. Then, he remembered what Keith told him in the Ferrari before the Death Rockets attacked. [Flashback] "So, you turn away and run because you're afraid of her breaking your heart?!! What a load of shit!!" Keith said, "You don't know what I went through, Keith. I dedicated myself to those two girls and they still cheated on me. I'm just afraid of being in another relationship." Brock said, "Well, Brock. To tell you the truth, I had my heart broken once." Keith said, "Really? When was this?" Brock asked, "Back in my Senior year of high school in New York City around 6 of 7 years ago. I met this beautiful girl named Serena. I met her at the start of the year and we had a great relationship. Then, it all ended when she dumped me for some other guy and told me never to see her again. When she left with her new boyfriend, I didn't cry. Instead, I was kind of happy and I said to myself, "Oh, don't worry. You won't see me again. I fact, I'll be gone for a long time." The reason I was happy is because she dumped me 2 days after I came back from my first F3000 race in Montreal, Canada. I was going to start racing in Formula 3000 after I graduated." Keith finished his sob story, "What happened at your graduation?" Brock asked, "Well, the graduating class received their diplomas and all that shit. The people of New York found out that I was going to Europe to become an F1 driver. When I came out, a ton of people hoisted me in the air, like I was some hero. They thought I was going to go to Formula One and bring the Driver's Title to the U.S.A. We were all chanting "U.S.A.!!" and I looked and saw Kristina and her new boyfriend with surprised looks on their faces. Oh, I'll never forget it. Best day of my life, Brock." Keith said, "So, you said to her, 'Ha ha!!! I'm going to make a ton of money and you lost me!!!" Brock said, "Yep. Oh, that was the greatest moment of my life at that point. She tried to call me and tell me she wanted me back, but my new F3000 team didn't even tell me she called. In the end, I heard that she left the other guy and moved away from New York City. I have never heard from her since. I successfully put my past behind me and looked to the future!!" Keith said, "Now, I bet she wishes she was still with you. Look at yourself. You're driving for Ferrari in Formula One. You have the United States of America supporting you and you got a ton of cash." Brock said, "Yep. I'm one lucky bastard. But... enough about me, my love sick friend. I am going to drill so much self-esteem in your mind that when I am done with you, you're going to think you can get ANY girl in the world!!!!!" Keith said. [End Flashback] "Keith's right. I have to move on with my life and not let these setbacks make me live in the past. It's time to live for the present and the future. I mean, look at him. He's in F1 and making millions! I have to face Suzie and hear what she has to say." Brock said confidently as he started up his new motorcycle and sped away for Pallet Town. ********* Inside the secret HQ of Team Rocket, Giovanni awaited word from the Death Rockets, any update about the death of Keith Terrell or the capture of Mewtwo. The more he waited, the angrier he got. This would make it 3 times that Keith Terrell got away from him. All of a sudden, the phone on his desk rang. After a couple of rings and calming himself down, Giovanni answered the phone. "What is it?" He asked harshly, "That fucking American is lucky!!! He escaped!!! We lost over 73 Rockets in this mess!!! He even broke Mewtwo's mind control!!! We couldn't even capture it because Terrell beat the shit out of it!!! That guy is not human!!! He's a freakin' robot!!!!" One surviving Death Rocket said into the phone, sounding all panicky from the day's events. "That is what I didn't want to hear. Do you know where the American is or Mewtwo?" Giovanni asked, "No. We couldn't get a trace on them!!! Mewtwo left after Terrell beat it up!! Then, he blinded us with a flash bomb delivered by his Pokémon. Next, he dropped a bomb in here and killed off mostly everybody here!!!!" The guy said, "Damn him... I want the remaining Death Rockets to return to base." Giovanni ordered, "Sir. I'm not injured as badly. I'll go find the American. I think he and Ketchum might try to get a flight back to Europe in the next few hours." The Death Rocket said, "Ah, now why didn't I think of that? In that case, you are in charge of finding Terrell and or Ketchum. If you find them leaving Kanto, call us at once." Giovanni said, "Understood." The Death Rocket hung up and Giovanni sat down and looked over the valley from his office, planning what he wants to do to Keith Terrell. The sun was setting in Pallet Town and Delia Ketchum was worried that something had happened to Ash. She wasn't the only one worried about someone. Suzie was the most worried. She was worried about Brock. Delia looked up and heard Ash's Toyota and Keith's Ferrari, along with another car stopping at the house. "Hey, stop thinking that you're Colin McRae, buddy!!" Keith yelled out as he and Lorelei exited the Ferrari, "Don't call me Colin McRae!!!" Richie yelled out, "Okay, Tommi Makkinen." Keith laughed, "SHUT UP!!!" Richie yelled back, "Yes, sir Marcus Grimholm!!!" Keith said, "I'll kill you!!" Richie said evilly, "Bring it on, Richard Burns!!! I ain't got all day!!!!" Keith said as the two went face-to-face, trading profanities and all sorts of bad words. "Is Keith going to do that to him for the rest of the day?" Duplica asked as she and Ash exited the car and watched Keith and Richie squabble. "Yeah. He's much, much worse when he's doing that to Tomas Scheckter." Ash answered, "The fight reminds me of when I was with Jessie and James and the fights I got with them." Meowth added, "I still think my fights with Ralf Schumacher still take the cake." Ash said, "Ash! What happened? Are you all right?" Delia asked frantically as she ran to Ash and made sure he's in one piece. After a few seconds of looking him over, she gave a sigh of relief. "They're fine. Keith had a run in with the Death Rockets, the Elite Four, Lance, the police and Mewtwo." Ash answered, "Well, I can see that you brought some more friends home with you." Delia said, "Yeah. Mom, meet Richie, who is arguing with Keith and Duplica, one of my friends from my Pokémon journey." Ash said. Richie had enough of Keith and punched him right in the stomach and the American fell to the ground, gasping for air. "Son of a bitch. Don't you ever call me that again!" Richie said as he got his stuff from the car and kicked Keith once more, "Ash, where's Brock at?" Delia asked, "Brock had some things to do. He'll be back shortly." Ash said. Suzie heard Brock's name and when she started to ask where he was, Brock arrived on his new motorcycle and stopped next to Ash's Toyota. He saw Keith being helped off the ground by Lorelei and the American looked at him as if to say, 'Talk to her. And if you run away from her, I'll kill you with my car!!!' "Um... I'll be outside in the fresh air... for awhile. I'm still upbeat from everything that happened... um, today. Yeah. If you don't mind." Brock said nervously, "Sure, Brock. You look like you need a break. Just hang outside for as long as you want. As for the rest of you, who's up for some ice cream?" Delia said cheerfully, "Make it all you can eat and you got a deal." Keith said enthusiastically. The group laughed and entered the house, leaving Brock just lying down on a hill near the Ketchum house. Moments later, Brock's thoughts were interrupted when Suzie walked up and sat down next to Brock. "Rough day?" She asked, "You wouldn't know the half of it." Brock answered. The two Pokémon Breeders didn't talk for around 10 minutes until Brock decided to break the silence. "Suzie... why are you here to see me?" Brock asked. Inside the Ketchum house, everybody was talking to Ash about his Formula One career. Richie was the most interested of them all, asking questions about traveling all over the world. Keith thought about Ferrari for a minute. He placed his bowl of ice cream down, reached into his pocket and took out his Ferrari Cell Phone. The battery was disconnected from the phone after his argument with Mr. Montezemolo. "Pardon me for a minute, Mrs. Ketchum. I have to make a phone call." Keith said as he got up from his seat, "Sure. Take all the time you need." Delia said as Keith went outside and pressed a speed dial button that had the number of one of the Ferrari offices. "These guys are going to kill me for not calling them." Keith said as the line was being directed to Mr. Luca di Montezemolo's main office in Milan. To Be Continued... First of all, I want to apologize to all you readers for not getting this chapter or anything else out as of late. I don't have an Internet connection at my place any more because my brother canceled it. So, I'm relying on a friend of mine to get these new chapters up until I can get off my ass, get a job and find a new Internet service provider that costs $10 bucks a month!! So, wish me luck. I'm not letting this setback stop me from writing this fanfic. Even though I won't be online, I will still be typing my heart out on this. If you have any questions, comments or any other stuff, e-mail me at Hornet19us@Yahoo.com. It might take me a while to get back to you. I managed to find someplace that has the Internet, so I emptied out my inbox. Coming up next on... Ash Ketchum: Formula one Driver!!!! Will Brock let Keith help him get over his broken heart? Plus, how will the Ferrari boys react to Keith not calling them at all? Why do I keep asking these dumb questions?!!! I'll return with Chapter 14! That and Chapter 15 will probably be done real soon!!! Sorry for the delay!!!! Mario Alvarado 11/11/2002 (FINALLY!!!!!!!!!)
