Perks of Being Rich

"I will never get use to this." Brock said as he glanced at the night sky as the group was getting a ride back to Sun Lake town by Ash's company's private jet. "This thing is fast." Brock commented as the jet moved at an incredible speed.

"This jet is a military issue, and has been on sale just a year ago, it possess thick armor and incredible speed, capable of flying at the speed of 250 miles per hour." Adan elaborated impressed by his nephew's taste. "How much was this?" Adan asked Ricardo who he noticed to be close to Ash and Elena.

"45 million but because the young master has a friend who sells these kinds of things, we got it for at least 37 million." Ricardo answered firmly and respectfully, he had heard only good things from Elena in regards to Adan, so he was giving him as much respect as possible.

"So, why do you guys call Ash young master?" Natasha asked as she drank a glass of wine provided to her by Ricardo.

Ricardo glanced at her with some kind of strange expression before shrugging. "His friends in the gambling circuit call him that, after being beat by a ten year old in high stakes poker so many time, we can't find any other ways to describe him." Ricardo explained with a nonchalant tone.

"He's that good?" Natasha asked, oblivious to the wide smirk that was plastered on Adan's face.

"In gambling, he is better than good and way better than the best." Ricardo answered casually, remembering the many times he was defeated by Ash in Poker and Blackjack. "By the way, can you tell me about young mistress' father?" Ricardo asked as politely as possible.

"Now that is a very interesting question." Sarah said as she suddenly glanced behind her chair. "Elena and Ash seem to trust you, unlike the girl who is wasted behind you." Sarah said pointing at the unconscious form of Via who had too much to drink during dinner.

"I think that you guys know why the young mistress despises my partner." They nodded at that. They've noticed during dinner that Via constantly glared at Elena, and vice-versa, and they constantly threw insults at each, that Ash had to interfere just for them to stop.

"I noticed, I never would have thought that Elena is capable of hating someone that much, but I understand her reasons." Sarah looked solemn at this. "Can I throw her out the plane?" Sarah asked so suddenly that Adan and Natasha face faulted at the sudden question.

"And I will help." Jane said two seats from where Sarah is sitting.

Ricardo smirked at that before adopting an impassive expression. "As much as I would like to accept that offer, she is quite hard to replace."

"A pity then," Sarah noted with a dramatic sigh. "So why do you want to know about our bastard of a father?" Sarah asked, spitting the word father like it was something foul.

"She speaks very lowly of him." Ricardo stated so firmly that everyone within earshot looked at him.

"Wait a minute, among the three of us; Elena is the only one who actually gets along with the guy." Jane said curious at what her younger sister really feels to the man that, for her, is the reason why their beloved mother is dead.

"Technically, according to young mistress, she gets along with the guy but she once told me that she can never consider this Henry fellow as her father. She said something about being absent half her life?" Ricardo noted as Sarah and Jane look triumphant at those words.

"So our little angle isn't as naïve as we thought, thank Arceus." Jane muttered in relief.

Ricardo gazed at Jane, who was now facing him. "You know, you look familiar." Ricardo said, startling the former poacher. "I know every wanted criminal in the five regions by heart and I swear, you look like some infamous poacher I've seen in a wanted poster before." Ricardo commented, and that was enough for Lance to study Jane and Sarah, Adan and Natasha to laugh uneasily.

"That's impossible, Mister Ricardo, according to Sarah, Jane is a Pokémon Researcher, not a famous researcher but her works are rather well written." Cynthia exclaimed thought she was a bit suspicious. She and Sarah go way back and they both shared a lot of battles, and their respective family. Cynthia had already met her father and her sister, Elena, but this was her first time seeing her older sister. And to be honest, she does look familiar.

"Yes, yes Jane is a researcher, but unlike Sarah, she does not like fame so she merely concentrated in small projects." Natasha added, hoping that Ash's and Elena's lawyer will leave it be.

Ricardo muse a bit as he eyed Jane curiously. "Your right, she has very short hair, you have long hair, must be coincidence." Ricardo said sounding impassive and Jane knew that he was not convinced but out of his respect to her sister, he let it be.

"Now, about our father," Sarah said, bringing the subject back to its original topic. "He is the most selfish bastard there is, and I could use a lot more colourful language to describe him, but let's go with that. Now our mother… Our mother was an angel, how the bastard married her was beyond anyone of us." Sarah then began to describe her so called father with such colourful language that Ricardo cannot help but smirk in amusement.
