- Rose's POV (A Leafeon)

Rose staggered into her family's three bedroom house, a swollen bruise above her right eye. Dim had got her good today, the red eyed creep. "Hi, Rose!" Said a cheerful voice.

"Hi Mary." Rose choked. The two small words seemed to grind against her throat, making her cough. The Meowstic rushed over, catching Rose as she collapsed. "What happened to you?"

Quick, think of something quick! "I was uhh... playing tag with my friends on the rocky road and I fell."

"But there are no scratches from the small rocks!"

Rose forced a cough. "Just help me up please." She groaned.

-Several hours ago, Dim's POV (Umbreon)

Dim raced out of school, strength surging through his bones. "She's around here somewhere!" He grunted, his teeth reflecting the sun.

"Wait, I thought you said she was always waiting for you by the Great Oak..." Volt stopped, crashing into Dim's rear.

Rearing up on his front paws, Dim sent Volt flying with a powerful kick. "Freakin' pervert!" He laughed as the jolteon staggered to his paws. "Hey, that wasn't friendly wrestling, you know!"

Isn't that what friends do? "Just hurry up!" Dim snarled. He had no friends! There was no such thing! Only allies and enemies. This school and it's pokémon were his army of loyal followers, and he was their leader. This stinking city was his land. Any foes, rebels, or weak links must be destroyed.

"Okay, okay!"

Dim and Volt raced around the block, picking up pace. "Aha! There she is!" He yelled as Rose raced past them, shrieking in fear as he said the words.

Taking a sharp turn to follow her, he saw her turn in between two small buildings, a corner store and some restaurant that smelled of garlic. "Let's corner her! Remember she's a dangerous enemy!"

As they neared the stinking alley, Rose let out a defiant battle cry and launched a powerful Energy Ball towards Dim. Snickering, Dim stepped aside and let it hit Volt.

"No! Volt!" He forced a sincere tone as it hit Volt right in his yellow chest. "I told you she was a bully!"

Volt nodded as he stood up. "Freak!" He screeched, launched a thunderbolt towards Rose. It sent her flying into a fence.

Dim smiled, his eyes gleaming. "I can take it from here. Go home."

Volt just nodded, then walked away, leaving the two of them alone,in between two stone and cement buildings. One pokémon stood in front of the easiest way out, his head held high. He was the hungry predator, and he was certainly ready to eat. His prey was cornered against a moldy fence in an alley, with heaps of stinking trash piled high against the walls of two buildings. Time to pay.

He laughed as Rose tryed to climb up the fence. "Where you going, coward?" He spat.

The Leafeon froze. "Away from you!" She tried to sound brave, but her voice shook with fear.

Dim took a step closer. "Wow, your voice is shaking as much as you are!" He taunted.

"What did I do to you?" Rose asked, not bothering to hide her fear.

Dim lunged forward, pinning her down with his black paws. "You got in my way."

"All I did was ask Volt for his Oran Berry at lunch!"

"You tried to recruit him!" Rose thrashed under Dim, but failed to shake him off.

"What?! The only thing I tried to recruit was his freaking berry!"

"You just don't get it!" Dim hissed in her ear. He placed a paw firmly on her chest to shut her up. "One day, I'm gonna rule this town. I'm gonna rule this whole country! And then when I've had my fun here, I'll take over more land!"

"You're a kid! Just a kid! What do you want to do with the rest of this world? You're crazy!" Rose regained her strength and kicked Dim in the chest. It didn't hurt him much, but it had taken him by surprise. He staggered off of her, eyes wide.

"You fool!" Dim leaped up and brought his front paw down quickly. It connected with her face right above her right eye, and made her shriek in fury and pain.

Dim crouched, getting ready to pounce. You're just an obstacle. And I'm about to take you down! But before he could pounce, Rose leaped above him, a pale yellow blur. What the heck? He spun around, but he was too late. Rose hit the ground and sprinted across the road, leaving him far behind. "Curses!" He clawed into the ground, fury pulsing through him. "You won't always get away!" I will get you. Next time, you won't escape so easily. He snickered. "Oh, you will get away." Dim corrected himself.

"But not uninjured." He growled as he walked away.
