| - I awoken to the sounds of chains. I found myself in a dark room, nothing but the light from a small, caged up window. I could not move very far. The chains on my arms and legs restricted me to a stand. I screamed out for help. Only my echo replied. I sat down and finally came to my senses upon what I have done. I have slaughtered my companions, I have slaughtered the humans. I clenched my eyes at the thought of my crazy actions, my evil intentions. Why did I enjoy those seconds of evil? Why did I crave for more? Why am I not feeling it now?I thought of Xenon's last words. I have to contain what's inside me. For myself, for Chelsea, for Helga.I hesitated as the doors swung open. In flew the same black bird, with other creatures. Most of them were carrying guns, aimed at me. I was too busy choking, the bird had my neck. "What the heck is wrong with you?!" She screamed at me. "I...I don't know-" She dropped me, glaring at me with her midnight black eyes. "Your actions will not be tolerated..." She muttered, and rose her hand at my face. What was emitting from her hand was dark energy. I gulped as I stared. "Shade, enough" A deeper, male voice boomed. Shade looked back and stepped aside. A tall, dog/human like creature walked towards me. His face was covered by a helmet, which matched his threatening armor. "Leave" he ordered. Shade was persistent. "But dad..." The so called "father' of this bird turned to her, and repeated again. Shade nodded, and left with the other guards. The door shut tight behind the creature. He kneeled down my height, and gazed at me with his blood red eyes. "You are not truly Pokemon aren't you?" "No..." I replied softly. I couldn't decide whether I was supposed to side or be afraid of him. He laughed. "You humans are always afraid of us, pity" He remarked. I growled. "Look, I didn't come here to fig-" "And yet you killed 6 Pokemon, and a total of 14 humans" He shot back at me. I closed my mouth. "Kid, my daughter is leading a resistance team against these humans. I've lost too many good chaps like you. Don't lose it, especially in front of me" "What gives you the right to threaten me?" The creature turned to the door. "Many reasons kid" He began to walk. "Wait, aren't you going to free me?!" I asked, pulling on my chains. The creature laughed. "Freeing you? Who said anything about that?" With those words, he locked the door. "NO! NOO!!!" I squirmed, yelling my lungs out. Nothing replied, nothing. I eventually stopped, my muscles were sore from trying to escape. I looked at the door, wishing it would open. It didn't. I sighed, and looked down. I thought about Helga and Bradley, I was hoping they'd be alright, safe from danger. Then I thought about Chelsea. It was my fault that she died within a volcano. But how was I supposed to know? The thought of her poored a tear down my cheek. It was my fault that she's dead, it's my fault that 6 creatures are dead, it's my fault that I didn't act human at all. The next day was the same as the last. Me stuck in the cell, visited by that same creature over and over. He seemed interested in me. He kept asking me how a human was able to turn into a Pokemon without dying. "People die if they change into you creatures?" I asked. "Yes, but that means more souls for me" He chuckled. "More...souls?" He looked at me. "...there is no greater void than the one between your years" He stood up, and left. Those words kept me guessing all day. The next day I was finally given food. Berries, they were close to rotting but they were edible. Were edible; meaning I held back the puking feeling once I ate them. Once I was finished, I was startled to see the door creak open. However, the person I expected was not there, it was Helga and Bradley. Helga had a worried look on her face, while Bradley, on her back, played with her tail. She then smacked me across the face with a glare. "How can you do this?! Kill some of my friends and LAUGH?" She smacked me again. "T-tim...I trusted you""I know...I'm sorry..." I whispered, looking back up at her. "I...I don't know what came over me..." "Tim...I won't deal with you anymore..." She slide back. I knew what was coming. "Alright Chelsea..." The feeling in my heart shattered. I looked down, my eyes hidden from her view. "I understand" "...I'm sorry Tim-" "No...I'm sorry..." I replied. I heard the door slam, that's when I began to cry silently.
