After the sudden announcement by Archie the whole crowd grew in a silent whisper and everybody's attention was fixed on the solitary figure of the Warden as most were unaware of the fact that he was no longer a Warden some on the fact that this individual was the long announced dead trainer Ash but those who personally knew him were thinking along the lines of
" Why and how is he alive"
" Why didn't he come and contact us "
" How do I make things right "
" How do I approach him "
" Why is he a warden what happened to the radiant boy "
" Does he still remember me "
" What changed you Ash "
This were the some of the many thoughts that rang through the mind of people who knew him personally but all were snapped back to reality by the loud laughter of Archie
" GAHAHAHAHAHA OPPPPS LOOKS LIKE I SPILLED THE BEANS FOR YOU WARDEN .... OH HOW I LOVE THE LOOK OF YOU NOW WHY DONT YOU REMOVE THAT HOOD AND SHOW US THAT FACE OF YOURS OR ELSE.... ANOTHER BUILDING GOES BOOM " threatened Archie
Which made the crowd realise they were at the mercy of Archie as he could detonate and kill all of them at his whim so they bought their focus back towards the Warden who stood still besides the Champions they watched with faded breath as the warden moved his hand towards his hood and removed it unveiling his face finally when the hood was down the face of the long forgotten trainer was for the world to see as it bought a lot of tears to many people as they saw the face of someone they thought they lost because of their mistakes
His chiseled face which was graced by scars across his face with his raven black hair and his dead dull hazel brown eyes solely focused on Archie
" Hahaha I see the scars we gave you long ago still lingers on your face ohhhh how I would like to carve your face out now " Archie said with a fuming face
"... Why don't you come and try to I too would like to break that windpipe of yours it's ringing in my ears... " replied Ash cooly
This statement mad Archie more mad
" You know what id like that you and me just man to man " Archie replied down as he stepped down
" YOU IF I DO LOSE THIS BOUT BLOW THIS PLACE TO RUBBLE " Ordered Archie as he ordered one of his lackeys as the threw the detonator towards him
But before anyone could do anything Ash threw a dagger towards the flying detonator destroying it completely before it reached the Lackey of Archie and as soon as it got destroyed Ash dashed towards Archie who was still shocked
" EVERYBODY RUN AND THE GYM LEADERS AND CHAMPION'S HOLD OFF THE LACKEYS AND MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GETS OUT !!! " Shouted Ash as he tackled Archie lifted him up and slammed his body into the marble floor dropping him unconscious
As soon as everybody snapped out of their shock of what happened within a few seconds the whole party turned out into an all out brawl and with the terrorist leader being out of commissioned they were defeated easily and as everybody were cleaning up the messes they could see Ash dragging Archie's unconscious body with him
" Ash stop where are you taking him " Asked Lance
Ash did not reply but started heading towards the kitchen with the champions and his fellow friends rushing towards him as they had unfinished business
" STOP ASH WHY ARE YOU IGNORING US " shouted Lance feeling angry
Ash stopped turned back at the crowd and looked at them with his cold dead eyes which brought them to the fact that it was them that abandoned him first not the other way around
" ..... I have unfinished business with him " Ash replied without no emotion as he started walking
" Ash " whispered Cynthia as she wanted to talk to him and ask him for forgiveness but the coldness around him made her hesitant
" Ash why didn't you contact us " shouted Gary
Ash just kept walking
" Do you know how much your mother was worried for you " shouted Gary
Ash didn't even flinch he kept walking
" Listen to me you selfish prick we get it we were wrong ..... and we're sorry for it we've been ever since the day we found out you were innocent ok we get it we messed up and we're sorry but if you could just give us a moment " shouted Gary who was becoming more desperate with each step Ash took he felt he was going further away
Ash didn't heed to any and just stopped the infront of the kitchen door
