Part Two

When I drove up to Giovanni's mansion, I was filled with awe. It was humongous and it reminded me of the
Victorian homes I had seen in movies. I knew that gymleaders lived well..but this..this was amazing.

Giovanni was in the main hall, wearing a dark red tux, standing next to his son. Satoshi was also wearing a
tux, but he was fidgeting uncomfortabley. Giovanni didn't seem to notice.

"Dinner is in the dining room." he said suavely, making my heart skip a beat.

The magnificent meal was spread out elegantley on the long table. I smiled at Giovanni who smiled back at
me, before kissing my hand and leading me to my seat.

Satoshi looked disgusted for a moment, but Giovanni flashed him a cold look and he sheepishly sat down on
the other side of Giovanni.

"Satoshi, how was school before you got in trouble?" Giovanni asked him.

Satoshi just silently glared at his father before sticking his fork into his meat with feriocity.

"Satoshi, I asked you a question." Giovanni said stiffly.

"So?" Satoshi responded, taking a bite of the meant.

"Alright! That's it! Go to your room!" Giovanni yelled, losing his temper. I was a little shocked to see
the seemingly calm Giovanni lose control like that.

"No!" Satoshi yelled, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

I gasped at Satohsi's brazen disobedience.

"What did you say?!" Giovanni cried, standing up.

"I said I didn't want to go to my room!" Satoshi yelled back, also standing up. I wasn't sure, but I
thought I heard a tiny bit of desperation in his voice.

Without another word, Giovanni picked up his son, who started kicking and screaming as he was carried
upstairs.

I heard some whispering, and some sobs before Giovanni slammed the door.

When he returned to the table, Giovanni was completely calm again. "I'm sorry for Satoshi's behavori..he
isn't normally like this.." he apologized.

"It's okay, Gio.." I said smiling, even though I felt a little uncomfortable.

As soon as I finished my food, Giovanni asked if I wanted desert.

I was about to decline politely when I saw what "dessert" was.

It was a marvalous cake, a cholclate one, with sprinkles and ice cream on top. I instantley devoured the
cake in a time period of a few minutes.

When the food was doine andd Giovanni started to throw the rest of the food away, I looked upstairs,
wondering if Satoshi was going to eat anything.

Giovanni knew exactly what I was thinking because he told me that it was Satoshi's punishment for acting
up. No manners; no dinner.

"Oh.." I said, unwilling to look away.

We were suddenly started by a loud crack from upstairs as Satoshi pushed his bedroom door open. He hit the
door hard enough to knock it off its hinges.

Giovanni's eyes widened for a moment,but he was instantly calm and collected again as he went upstairs.

"Stay here," he told me with a little hardness in his voice.

I didn't move away from my seat, but I stood up to get a better view of what was happening.

"Satoshi! I told you-!" Giovanni started.

"My name's Ash!" his son responded with fire in his eyes.

"I am your father and you will accept the name I give you!" Giovanni roared these words, as he pulled
Satoshi up by his arm.

Suddenly I felt sick to my stomach. I wanted to leave. I didn't want to see this.

I put my hands over my ears when I heard a loud slap, punctuated by a scream of pain.

Ash or Satoshi fell to the ground. Now he was hugging his knees and crying softly.

I should have stayed. I should have ran in and rescued Ash at that very moment, but I didn't.

Instead, I ran out of the house, telling myself that it wasn't real, and by the time I came home, I was
convinced of a lie.

***

Ash or Satoshi came into my classroom the next morning with Giovanni, who was looking at him crossly.

They were the first ones there.

I was unsure of what else I could do, so I faked a smile. "Hello, Giovanni.."

"Hello, Diane." He kissed me, and for a moment I forgot about Satoshi and what happened last night.

When he broke the kiss, I suddenly felt sick at the pit of my stomach.

I looked over to Satoshi, hopinf that I wouldn't see any anger in his eyes. Instead, Satoshi didn't
respond. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and his face looked pale.

Giovanni glared at him, and he flinched.

I didn't want to see that brief interaction, so I distracted myself by thinking of how calm and courteaus
Giovanni was when he greeted me at the door during dinner time.

When Satoshi limped to his seat, and winced from pain as he sat down, I simply ignored him.

I'm sorry this part is so short, but I didn't get that much time on the computer, and I thought that this
was a good place to stop for the day.
