Kidnapped?

" Huh? Oh hey Professor! " Ash greeted the man as he was out of breath from running.

" Why.. Didn't you.... Tell me? " Oak asked, still out of breath.

" Didn't think it was important " the boy shrugged.

" Thats a horrible answer " the man stated.

" You didn't ask "

" Try again "

" I thought it would make for a great surprise? "

" You know what, never mind " the professor sighed. " I haven't talked to you in almost 3 months whats been going on? "

" I was busy trying to get everything approved for this competition " Ash stated.

" By the way nice battling " Oak said.

" Thanks, everyone's been working hard. " The boy replied.

" Pikachu sure showed that "

" Pikachu! " The mouse chimed.

" I'm just saying that you still should have told me that you were a champion " the Professor grumbled while crossing his arms.

" Uh....... Surprise! " Both Ash and Pikachu rapidly waved their hands with the palms facing outwards(JAZZ HANDS!!!!!).

" On another subject...um.....are you gonna talk to your mother? " Oak asked nervously.

" I don't see why I should " Ash faced his head away from the professor.

" She seems like she regrets it.....all of them do. "The old man continued.

" Yeah. I'm sure. " He said sarcastically.

" I just think I'd be good for everyone, plus Tracy hasn't seen you for so long, at least catch up with him. "

" I'm not sure "

" Come on whats the worst that could happen? "

" Do you want the list in alphabetical order or by whats most likely to come first. "

" Ash don't you think that a bit rude? "

" They started it. "

" Then you should end it, please just talk to them. " The professor tried to persuade him.

" You don't just let people walk all over you and get away with it " Ash replied.

" I know what you mean, but A- " Oak was cut off.

" One chance. Thats it. " Ash said " at 9:00 me and some others will be having dinner at a rented out lodging on the west side "

" We'll be there " he quickly replied.

" Alright, I have go right now but we'll catch up later " Ash said with a wave as he made his way back to the hotel.

The professor turned around and noticed something off about the plants that lined the wall. He walked up to them only to find a certain group of trainers along with an older woman hiding behind.

" May I ask what your doing? " Oak asked the group.

Tracy jumped up from his crouching position and looked the professor in the eye.
