Burning Ashes

Chapter 1. (also probably the last and only chapter)

Pain... a headache... dry tears under eyes...

Ash woke up. He quietly moaned as his head hurt, he opened his eyes, for some reason he couldn't remember anything, he had so many questions already and he just woke up. Where was he? What happened? Where's...where is Pikachu? Clemont, Serena, Bonnie...

"Nghh..." Ash slightly moaned again as he moved his head up a bit, opening his eyes. He didn't recognize the place at all. The walls looked to be made of metal, the floor as well. 'Whoever owns this place...has a strange taste of architecture...' Ash thought as he sighs trying to move his arms. Suddenly it hit him, he couldn't move. He turned at his left arm...his hands were attached to something! Adrenaline ran through his blood in his body. Ash groaned as he tried to jerk his arms away. His arms, legs...he couldn't do anything. He couldn't move!

'Who- why would anyone do this to him?? For what reason???'

He just couldn't think of anything, which wasn't important right now.

'I need to get out of here!'

"H-hello?"

Ash hesitated until he let out this word out of his mouth. Whoever did this to him...they could be dangerous! They could be also close. 'Crap!' now he realized they could have heard him. 'Damn it' what if this mysterious person who did this to him really heard him and is on the way back here again??

Footsteps.

His heart began to beat faster, he began to sweat immediately, he felt like crying. He was right, someone heard him, someone is coming, he's gonna die surely. Silver metal doors in front of him suddenly opened. Red spiky hair like a Pyroar, dark suit and...smile.

"L-Lysandre?"

Ash's memories finally came back. Alain! He fooled him... he thought he was his friend and when he needed him the most, he turned his back on him!

"I see you are awake"

Lysandre said smiling at Ash. It was such an innocent smile you would expect from a friend or at least someone nice. With his hands behind his back, Lysandre walked into the room and closed the door behind him. Step by step he slowly walked closer to me.

"Where...am I?" Ash asked, his voice was shaking a bit as he had no idea what would be coming now. What did Team Flare want with him in the first place?

"Team Flare's secret base, where that is is not important right now". Lysandre was standing right in front of him right now, Ash had to be looking up to even see into Lysandre's face since he wasn't just an adult, but also freaking tall.

"You look scared, nervous?" Lysandre asked still smiling, he walked again away from Ash taking his black jacket off as he spoke.

"Why am I here? What do you want with me?? Where's Pikachu?!" it was sure Ash sounded still scared even tho he yelled at Lysandre, he was angry, but still not knowing what they wanted with him was still scaring him, a situation like this never happened to him.

A nice smile appeared on Lysandre's face again as hi smirked a bit turning away soAsh could see only his back now. Lysandre laid his jacket on the floor, he had orange...a bit red actually chemise. Ash a bit confused narrowed his eyebrows. 'What had Lysandre on his mind?'. Hy walked to Ast slowly again, his shoes made against the metal floor a light stamping sound with every step he made closer to him. Lysandre moved his hand towards Ash in pretty quick movement. Ash immediately in reflex shut his eyes closed lapped on his breath with his heartbeat rapidly speeding up again. Lysandre gently stroked his cheek-bone turning Ash's head up at him. Confused Ash opened his eyes making eye contact with Lysandre.
