Pokemon Fan Fiction / Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ Brock's Love 2: Little Jacob's Big Adventure ❯ Suspect ( Chapter 4 )

Hello! Here's another chapter. I know it's been a while, but better late than never, right?

Disclaimer: Pokemon and all of its characters do not belong to me. So there.

Claimer: Yuri and Liz are my own creations. MINE. So there.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Officer Jenny was explaining some footprints in the back of the building.

"They seem to match the types of pokemon you reported missing."

"But where did they go?! Where are they?!"

"Please, Mr. and Mrs. Boulderson, let me finish," Jenny said as she drew in a breath. "There were also some human footprints and suspicious tire tracks found…"

~*~*~*~

Persian, Vulpix, Pikachu, and Jacob sat in the back seat of Yuri's car. Pikachu was on edge; this woman didn't seem trustworthy. They had been driving for way too long.

"Pika! Where are we going, Percy?" Pikachu finally asked.

Persian looked unconcerned. "Dr. Sanura is taking us back where we belong!"

"And where is that?! Vul, we've been going for a long time!" Vulpix added.

Percy looked out the window. Sure enough, the sun was ready to set. And he couldn't see any buildings or people. There were trees everywhere. He looked down at Jacob, who was fast asleep. Sitting back down, he looked to the driver's seat, where Yuri was staring straight ahead. He too became a little unnerved.

Yuri looked through the rear view mirror. The pokemon were becoming antsy. `They are probably suspicious. Well, I'm far enough out of the city now…'

The car made an abrupt turn, and headed into the thick woods. Jacob and the pokemon bounced as the car bounded over the rough terrain. When she finally screeched to a halt, Pikachu had become very angry. He was about to throw a fit when he saw Yuri pick up something. It was small and shiny. She made a clicking noise with it, and turned toward the back seat. Percy's eyes went wide. `But… she was my friend?!" His look of surprise dissipated into an angry growl. "She's got a gun," he told the others. Pikachu froze; he knew what a gun was.

"What do we do?" Vulpix asked calmly.

"On three, we get out of here," replied Percy, just as calm.

"One-"

Yuri loaded her gun.

"Two-"

Percy picked up Jacob in his mouth.

"Three!"

The next events happened so fast, Yuri had no time to notice. Pikachu jumped on her head and hit her with a thundershock. Vulpix and Percy tackled the back passenger door, which flung open. All three of the pokemon then ran out of the car as fast as they could, with Percy leading the way. They ran through the dense foliage, and up a tree, as fast as their legs could carry them.

Yuri, who had just realized she had been found out, staggered out of her car. She had to get that child. Thrashing through the woods, she searched for any sign of them. Unfortunately, her thrashing brought about a disturbance to the tree full of Beedril, right next to the tree Percy and the others were hiding. Pikachu clamped his hand over Jacob's mouth as he began to murmur. They sat perfectly still, watching the Beedril chase Yuri out of sight. A ways off, they heard her start her car and drive away.

Brock was so angry, he couldn't think straight. No one could find his son or his pokemon. And his wife and best friend were injured. The hospital buzzed around him, as doctors checked in on Liz every so often.

Liz had gone into shock shortly after Officer Jenny had tried to explain what happened. She had a bad head injury, which didn't help. Ash had broken a leg and cracked two of his ribs when he was thrown from the explosion. Misty was okay, despite a few moderate burns. And Brock was told he had a minor concussion. He sat next to Liz's bed. She had been given some morphine to relieve her pain, and was asleep. He looked up as he saw Ash wheeled across the hall after the doctors reset his leg and ribs. Ash's mom, Delia, was in his room, along with Gary, who drove Delia, and Misty. Gary had his arm around Misty when Brock walked into Ash's room an hour later.

"Is he okay?" he said, his voice almost empty of emotion. He cast a glance at Ash, whose face twitched a bit.

"I'm fine, never better," Ash said softly, with a small wince.

"Ash!!" His mother wailed. She rushed to his side and took hold of his hand. "You're awake!"

Everyone instantly moved to his bedside to look down at him. He smiled and made a thumbs up. Brock smiled back. "How's Liz?" Ash whispered huskily. Everyone immediately turned to Brock. Brock didn't look at any of them. "She'll be okay, just shock," Brock said to Ash. Ash's face warmed with sympathy for his oldest friend. "But," Brock continued, "They still haven't found Jacob and the pokemon. They think they've been kidnapped." The words came out of Brock's mouth like he was reading them from a newspaper, like this wasn't his life. The room suddenly felt cold and empty.

"AAAAAAUUUGH!!!"

Brock whipped his body around. "Liz!"

~*~

Liz cried into Brock's shoulder. Her body shook violently with each sob. She had awoke to an empty, unfamiliar room, when the events of the day flashed before her eyes, and she realized what happened. Her son was missing.

Brock had to restrain Liz when she woke up. She thrashed about in her bed, fighting the dizziness from her head injury. Brock held her tightly to his chest and stroked her hair. It brought a strange sense of calm over him. He hugged Liz's shaking form and buried his face in her hair and bandages. He wanted her to calm down before she went into shock again. A doctor walked into the room, followed closely by Officer Jenny. Before the Doctor or Liz and Brock could say a word…

"We've got a suspect."
