Chapter 5: The Masquerade

It was an all night party. He didn't understand why he had to attend to these older men when they could hire a slut to do the work for them. They had the money. One of the seven men there had decent looks compared to the other ugly guys so why did a ten year old have to serve them beer and make them crazier?

"And the kid looked so shocked when we ambushed him!" One of the men announced. "It was hilarious!"

"We're going to get promoted." Said another, "we did something that those Cipher idiots couldn't do!"

"Of course!" Their leader apparently said. He was just as ugly as the rest of them. He had blonde hair that he obviously bleached and a red shirt that made his rather large figure show. "They had such a hard time taking out one little kid! Why must they battle with a kid when the easiest thing to do is to simply ambush and steal all the Pokémon he snagged from us?"

"You're brilliant boss!"

"I know I am!" He turned his direction to the kid in the corner of the room who was trying to leave this filthy room. "Hey Trip, get me another beer and make it snappy!"

"…Whatever…"

"What did you say?"

He was already drunk so it didn't matter how much he talked. His uncle would still yell at him. He wondered why the hell he let his uncle in the first place. It was probably the fear of knowing that he'll call his dad if he didn't and tell him where he was now. He left the room to get another huge bottle of beer and set it on the table in the middle. At this point, these men were wasted. Just a few more drinks and they'll be passed out on the floor with a terrible hangover in the morning.

His uncle didn't even thank him when the beer was being poured. He just shook his head in disgust as he tried to leave. However, the only decent looking man was the one that grabbed his arm.

"What the hell do you want? I already served your drinks five times tonight!"

He was at his limit with how much he can tolerate. This man didn't seem to care as he continued to stare at his face.

"You know…you really look your mother…-hic-"

"That's nice now let me go."

"Trip, stop being a brat and let him do what he wants with you. It's not like your mother would refuse sex from a sexy man like him."

His uncle started laughing similar to a hyena. The others joined in the chorus to. He was appalled by how these older men acted. When someone is drunk, they lose the will to think anymore. Whatever his uncle said didn't matter because he was long gone after so many drinks. He just wished they would drink so much alcohol that they would die from alcohol poisoning. It's not like he would be blamed for murder or anything.

"Fuck you." Was all he cursed at them as he slapped the arm away and left the room. The men were still laughing at him when he did. "Just you bastards wait…karma will hit you guys…"

Trip didn't understand what the big deal over dead bodies was about. Actually, that was a huge deal but Trip had already developed nerves of steel after watching so many horror movies. Seeing a dead body in real life didn't really affect him. The bodies in the hidden room…he really didn't understand why they were there in the first place. He just assumed that either his mom or his uncle killed those two men and then hid their bodies in the basement away from authorities. His mother was above the law at this point of time because of the man she ran away with who was one of the wealthiest people in Unova. His uncle wasn't above the law. That was a good thing because if he was caught, he would probably get the life sentence. Regardless, Trip was under the assumption that he needed to hide a body and the best place was the hidden room next to the door. All in all, it really didn't matter to him at all. He wasn't a murderer.

"Puu…"

Trip glanced at his Vanillite who was worried about him. He smiled sadly as he stroked her head gently. "I'm sorry if I'm worrying you. I'm alright…I really am…"

"Puu…"

Even though he said that though and he already knew in his mind that he wasn't a killer, he left a bad impression on everyone that saw that room. He couldn't care less if they thought of him as a killer…but in the back of his mind, he knew that wasn't true at all. He cared what people thought of him…especially Ash recently. He didn't know why he had to keep a strong image for him but it might have been because he didn't want Ash to see him weak. Well, being seen as a killer was worse than being seen as a weakling…he had to clear up the misunderstanding eventually but now wasn't the time.

He went back to Cilan's room despite Iris and Bianca screaming at Ash to wake up. He must have fainted from the shock from what the photographer could hear. It didn't matter. Paige's Audino would go downstairs and take care of him. Hopefully, she would be smart enough to close the hidden door and make it clear that they didn't see anything.

As he reached the door, he stopped when he heard voices on the other end. At first, he thought Cilan was up and talking on the phone to someone. However, he got curious and opened the door slightly so he could see through a little crack. Peaking inside the room, he saw two shadowy figures standing above the sick gym leader. Trip had never seen these people before and knew they were up to no good judging from their outfits. He almost made himself known when he saw them take off their masks revealing themselves to be Cilan's brothers Cress and Chili.

"Cilan, you were careless to get sick." Cress spoke in a rather cruel tone. "You know you can't afford to mess up."

"I'm sorry…" Cilan ended up apologizing even though it wasn't his fault.

"Go easy on him Cress," Chili told him. "Everyone gets sick every now and then. Besides, it's always Cilan that takes care of us when we get sick."

"That's not the problem. He's relying on other people to take care of him. Especially that gym leader's apprentice," he ended up adding the last one to spite the green haired trainer.

"What can I say? Iris is really good at medicine."

"…You're missing the point." Cress continued. "You're letting people into your heart and changing you. You're forgetting who you really are and your purpose in life."

"I know what I'm supposed to do!" Cilan suddenly snapped that shocked the two brothers. "You don't have to remind me every time you see me! I know what I'm doing on this journey! I'm trying to check if Ash is the hero of legend that can awaken Zekrom! I'm only traveling with him to confirm that and nothing else!"

"…You seem way too happy to be on this journey than you need to be or is that a façade?" Cress continued to press.

"…I don't know anymore…I just…"

"Cress, I think that's enough." Chili told the water gym leader. "We just came here to warn him about Master Ghetsis and his orders."

Cress sighed as both brothers prepared to put their mask on. "This is your last warning Cilan. The next time you decide to choose these friends that you consider to be nothing but pawns anyway over your brothers and your master, and then we won't be able to protect you from the authorities about that bombing."

"! I had nothing to do with that though!"

"…You know that idiot Looker is on the case now."

"!"

Chili groaned. "That sucks! I mean, he's basically looking for two members of Team Plasma, but as incompetent as he is, he'll always accuse the innocent first and you're probably on his list if he puts two and two together. We won't be able to save you if he arrests you…and Master Ghetsis will order us to not get you out."

Cilan was stunned into silence. His fists started to shake but whether it was in fear or anger was up to interpretation.

"So you're basically saying is that I'm supposed to take the Shadow Pokémon that are in this area and then deliver it to you guys if I want to show Master Ghetsis I'm still loyal to him?"

"Either that or capture Pokémon that aren't yours and deliver it to him. You know how Master Ghetsis is about Cipher." Chili told him. "I don't get it! Team Plasma and Cipher can be the most dangerous combination but Master Ghetsis chooses to oppose them and take the Shadow Pokémon they met for themselves."

"He's that kind of selfish person…" Cilan ended up saying.

His brothers were silent. This was probably the first time that Cilan insulted the true leader of Team Plasma but at this point, it didn't matter to them. They all knew he was a cruel, selfish man that abused his only son but they still owed him their life and will follow him to the ends of the earth. Cilan couldn't really do that anymore now that he met Ash, Iris and basically everyone on his journey.

"You know what they say about masquerade parties?" Cress asked Cilan suddenly.

"…What?"

"They will come to an end. When the masks are up and the identity of the wearer of said mask is revealed, everything you built up will be lost at that moment. Look what happened to Romeo and Juliet."

"They died because of their stupidity." Cilan said rather darkly. "If they just fucking listened to their parents or tried to reason with them, then all the blood, sweat and tears could have been avoiding."

"You're doing the same thing now." Cress finished. "If you choose your so called friends over your family then many people will die. You know that better than anyone."

With that said the Striation Gym Leaders put their mask on and then disappeared in a flash leaving Cilan alone in the room to think about the consequences of his action.

Trip heard everything and didn't know what to say.

…So…Cilan is part of Team Plasma. Trip thought to himself. Does that mean he let me win in the first round…because he was afraid of his skills giving a huge hint of who he really was? And what's this about Shadow Pokémon? Is this what my uncle was talking about when he was drunk that time? Is that why the Eevee that Ash befriended is so vicious?

"Who's there?" Trip suddenly heard Cilan ask in a dark tone. The photographer decided that the best set of action was to open the door.

"What, you call?" He asked. "I'm still cleaning. You need me to get you more food?"

Trip was very good at playing the fool. Cilan glared at him before he went back to his kind, benevolent self.

"No…I just thought someone was at the door the entire time, but if you say you just got to the door…then…"

Trip just nodded his head as he took the bowl of oatmeal that was empty. "…I was planning to cook tonight." Trip began in a rather nervous tone. "If you feel better by then, I was hoping you would help me…"

Cilan was surprised that Trip was asking for help. He wasn't in the mood to do anything at all but he couldn't be rude to the photographer. He had to play it off that there wasn't a conversation in the room just now.

"We'll see if I feel better."

Trip nodded his head again as he quickly left the room and closed the door behind him. The young trainer came to the conclusion that he couldn't trust Cilan at all.

Ash slowly came to in the living room. He tried to remember what the hell happened. Then he recalled the dead bodies in the hidden room and Trip having no reaction to a corpse, which was why Ash was he was scared in the first place. When he sat up though from lying from the couch, he suddenly felt nocuous and his stomach was starting to churn. Quickly standing up, he rushed to the nearest bathroom that happened to be the door right next to the living room on the right. He just let it all out as he opened the toilet and hurled.

"Ash, are you okay?" He could hear Bianca asking him.

He couldn't respond but it was obvious that he wasn't okay. The normal reaction to see a dead corpse was hurling. Hopefully, Trip wouldn't be mad at him throwing up in the toilet but that wasn't the problem at all.

Bianca must have had experience of people throwing up because she went inside and rubbed his back as Ash was still coughing trying to prevent from throwing up one more time. It was a disgusting feeling but those dead bodies…

The blonde trainer ended up leaving the bathroom and coming back with a glass of water.

"You might want to rinse out your mouth first." She warned him.

"I will…thank you…" Ash replied weakly as he flushed the toilet first, closed the lid cover and then proceeded to wash his mouth in the sink.

"Pika pi…"

Pikachu was on Bianca's shoulder. He was worried for his trainer just as much as his other friends were. Once Ash rinsed his mouth, he took the glass of water and gulped it down. His stomach was feeling better at this point when he set the glass down.

"Thanks Bianca. You're a life saver."

"Don't mention it."

As the two made it out of the bathroom, Ash glanced around the room and couldn't find the Eevee. "Where is Eevee?"

Bianca frowned. "He freaked out at the sight too. Iris is calming him down but it's not working without you there."

"I see…"

Bianca might have stopped crying but she was trembling all over still. She was scared of being in this mansion now. She would rather be outside in the rain over being in here now.

"Ash…I'm scared of Trip…"

"Bianca…"

Her eyes started to water again as she tried to prevent herself from crying. "I'm really scared! I thought he was just a normal kid like the rest of us at that tournament! But now that this happened, I'm scared to think that he's…he's…"

"Don't think that!" Ash shouted at her which made her look up to see his weak but determined eyes. "We can't make accusations about him at all until he tells us his side of the story."

"I-I know that but did you see his reaction to the bodies? He didn't react at all! That's creepy and not normal for a kid his age!"

She made a huge point. A normal reaction would be to scream your head off at the body, faint or throw up. Trip did none of that. He just proceeded to put the bloody hatchet back on the wall and leave while telling them that they didn't see anything. It almost sounded like he was threatening them with their lives if they spilled a word of this to the public. To Ash that didn't sound like Trip at all…then again…none of them knew much about Trip because he always kept things to himself…

"Ee-vee!"

The Eevee Ash befriended came running down the halls and jumped into Ash's arm shuddering.

"I'm sorry to have worried you." Ash told the little normal Pokémon softly as he stroked his fur.

Iris came following after Eevee soon after exhausted with Axew in her hair.

"Man that Eevee is so hard to take care of!" Iris complained. "I don't understand why it's so aggressive!"

"I don't know either, but we'll find out hopefully." Ash told her. He looked both of them straight in the eyes. "You two…I think we should ask Trip what's going on instead of accusing him of being a killer."

Iris started to tremble remembering the dead bodies. "B-But why?"

"Why? Because we should trust Trip on something like this instead of just pointing the finger."

"But Team Rocket is already doing that!" Iris exclaimed. "There's nothing to explain."

"There is! Do you think Trip has the nerve to kill someone?"

"…No…but…"

"Then we have to talk to him. I have faith in him that he's not a killer. You girls should have faith in him too. I'm sure he has a reason for acting like that."

Both girls stared at each other in worry. They didn't know what to think with the dead bodies, but maybe Ash was right and they just needed an explanation. If Team Rocket wouldn't hear him out, then they would at least.

When they both nodded their heads weakly, Ash pumped his fist. Even after throwing up from nausea, he was still hyperactive and ready to go.

"Alright! I'm pretty sure Trip is in the training room! We'll go upstairs and get his mind and our minds of what happened this afternoon!"

Ash quickly dashed through the hallway with the Eevee in his arms. Pikachu called out to his trainer and just looked at Bianca hoping she would run soon after. Iris just chuckled nervously.

"I'm really starting to think that Ash is a stalker if he already knows where Trip is now…"

"Really? I think its love." Bianca said simply trying to lighten the mood.

Iris had no idea what Bianca was talking about and just followed Ash. Hopefully, they would have a good explanation of what was going on in this mansion.

Me: Done with 3830 words.

1. I already know if Trip is guilty of murder or not but what you readers need to figure out with vague hints is if Trip could pull it off…well…

2. As you already know, this story seems to cross over with Pokémon XD, Gale of Darkness. Actually, what I mean to say is that I'm almost positive that Unova and Orre are in the same area. However, I made it obvious in the flashback that the kid that Trip's uncle and his men beat up was the protagonist of Pokémon XD, Michael.

3. The Romeo and Juliet reference is a bad thing to be compared to in my book. I wanted to use something more intelligent but I found this Shakespeare play to fit Cilan more than Hamlet.

4. The flashback is actually very important. Pay attention to the details in the flashback because I'm bringing that up in later chapters.

Edit: Another chapter with no major edits. This is just one of those stories where there is hardly any changes that need to be made.
