Chapter 4

The Pokemon was leaning up against the side of the wall, his front arms crossed with that metal thing he used to hit other Pokemon with was resting against his side.

"T-Takuma? What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you."

"You were standing there by the doors.. Waiting for me?" I echoed. Yeah, that sure as hell didn't sound like a creeper or a stalker kind of thing. "Why were you just standing there, waiting?"

"Because I knew you'd come."

"You knew?"

"Yes."

I stared at the bigger Pokemon, wondering what he meant by that. How did he know I would be coming? Unless he was the one that took my puzzle piece. It was the only way he would have known..

"You took my puzzle piece! And you knew I'd come back to look for it!"

Takuma gave me a puzzled look. "What puzzle piece?"

"You don't know about the puzzle piece?"

"No."

"Oh.."

"But I do know what I am going to do," Takuma replied, smirking evilly.

"W-what?" I questioned, having a feeling I was going to regret it.

He grabbed me and began to drag me down the street, leading me to a dark and spooky looking ally-way. Wave saw that I was being dragged away and followed after.

Takuma laughed as he punched me, which sent me flying onto the side-work. I glanced up at him through swollen eyes. The larger Pokemon snickered, and stomped on my tail, making me squeak in pain.

"Tomorrow, we'll continue this little one," he chuckled, and turned around and started to walk off.

"Thunder!" I heard a voice call.

I looked up and saw Wave and another Pokemon. The Pokemon beside him was a mall brown bear-like Pokemon. It growled at Takuma, who glared at him and the otter-like Pokemon.

"Hey, Thunder, are you okay?" Wave asked, kenlting down beside me. He handed me the missing puzzle piece. "Don't worry. We're here now. Everything will be okay."

He and the bear-like Pokemon began to attack Takuma, who only laughed and started to beat them up.

"Thunder.."

My ears perked up at the sudden voice, and I looked around weakly. "W-who's there?"

"It is I Thunder, you're fairy Mew mother.."

"But I don't-"

"Shut up and listen!" the voice snapped, making me shut up. "You have to finish the puzzle Thunder. Once you do, everything will be all better.. I promise.. Now, go and finish the puzzle."

I slowly reached out to the puzzle laying in front of me.

"That's it.. That's it.. Yes.. Yes.."

I put the piece in and it began to glow. I stared at it in shock and wonder as a beam of light shot out of it and hit me. I felt myself being pulled into cold, darkness, and then, nothing.

Takuma was walking down the streets, heading back to his house, when a rope wrapped around him, making him stop and be pulled into the air.

"What the hell?! Who's doing this?!"

The puzzled glowing and showed 'Thunder' standing on top of a building, an evil smirk on his face, and red eyes glowing in the darkness. The Pikachu looked a bit taller than the last time Takuma had seen him. He looked about the size of a normal Pikachu instead of being smaller than one. Not that that bothered him. He could still beat him to a living pulp like before.

The Pikachu glanced down at him, the smirk never leaving his face, his eyes glowing more against the darkness now that the puzzle had stopped glowing. "Yo Takuma-san."

"Thunder!" the bigger Pokemon gasped. "You bastard! What the hell are you doing?"

The smaller Pokemon ignored his question all together. He gave a small, dark chuckle, that made Takuma's fun stand on end, and a shiver run up his spine, which was shocking to him since he never got scared before.

"It's Game time."

"Game?"

"Yes.. A game," 'Thunder' chuckled that same dark one once again.

Another shiver when through him, but he shrugged it off like he was nothing. "What kind of Game?"

"A Shadow Game."

"Shadow Game?" Takuma almost laughed at how stupid it sounded. He had no idea of what was going to happen to him, as he was about to find out just what and how dangerous a Shadow Game was. "That's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard of, Thunder! Now quit playing around and give me the money!"

"Money?" the smaller Pokemon asked, holding back a laugh of his own. He looked over to the 'money' that was tapped to the top of the pile on the roof he was standing on. "This money?"

"Yes. Ya know, if you would have only given it to me in the first place, then I wouldn't have had to beat you up."

"That so?"

"No. I would have still beat you up either way."

'Thunder' narrowed his eyes at this. This was the reason why he was freed. This Pokemon need to be taught a lesson. And he was just the Pokemon for the job. The shiny Pokemon hopped off the side of the building, a rope wrapped around him as well. As he went down, he laid some cards on the side of the roof, pulling the bigger Pokemon up til they met eye to eye.

"What the hell are you doing?" Takuma asked.

"We're going to play that Shadow Game I said before."

"Oh, we are, are we?"

"Yes. We are." 'Thunder' looked him dead in the eyes. The Pikachu's normal black/brown colored eyes now glowed a deep blood red color. "Here's how the games works. We'll each pick a card, the higher the number, the higher one goes up, the other goes down. The one who gets to the top first, gets the money, and the other... Well, the other meets a fishy end."

Takuma narrowed his eyes. This little weak Pokemon wanted to play a dumb game with him? He gave a small smirk. He would play this "Shadow Game" with Thunder. And he would be the one who got the money and sent the smaller Pokemon to fall to his death.

"Fine. I'm in."

'Thunder' smirked evilly at him. "Alright. You can go first."

"Gladly."

He's giving me a lead. One I won't let him catch back up on! Now, I just need a high number then I'll leave him in the dust!

Takuma picked up on of the cards and saw that it was a 10.

"I got 10."

He moved his way up the side of the building, glancing back at the smaller Pokemon he had left behind.

"You're go runt."

'Thunder' snorted at being called a runt. He picked up a card with his paw and looked at it. It was a 10 also.

"So did I."

He climbed up the side of the building, a smirk on his face. The two continued to pick cards til 'Thunder' was almost at the top.

"I'm one card away from the top," he called down to Takuma. "Pick your last card."

The other Pokemon snorted, but did as told. He picked up a card and it was a Joker.

"J-joker?"

"Ah, that's too bad." The smaller Pokemon chuckled, looking down at him with his glowing red eyes. "A joker's a miss."

He picked up one last card and took one last step forward so now he was at the top of the building once again. That smirk never leaving his face.

"Looks like I win."

"No you don't!" Takuma ran up the side of the building, using the rope to help him in case he fell. He reached the top and grabbed the money. Only to find out that it wasn't money. It was just another deck of cards. "This isn't money!"

"I knew that you'd break the rules," 'Thunder' sighed, shaking his head slowly. Another eye, the same eye that was on his puzzle, appeared on the top of his head, glowing brightly, as well as his eyes. "A Shadow Game shows a person's true character. You'll now be meeting.. A fishy hand."

"What...?" Takuma didn't understand what he was being told. The rope snapped and the larger Pokemon began to fall down to the water that was below them. He only chuckled. There was nothing down there but water. Water that would break his fall. Yes, it would still hurt, but not that bad.

However, before he hit the water, a large fish-like Pokemon shot out from the clear blue water below, and eat him whole.

'Thunder' shook his head and walked off.

The next day, I was making my way to school, only to stop when I saw Wave leaning up against the door. The cuts and what not that was given by Takuma was all patched up. I blinked and walked over to the otter-like Pokemon.

"Hi Wave."

"Hey." He gave me a smile. "Ya know Thunder.. I have something for you."

I perked my ears. What could he have for me? "What is it?"

"A friend."

"...Friend..?" I echoed, not understanding what he meant by that.

"Yeah," the Oshawott chuckled. "You got yourself a new friend, kid. Me."

I smiled big and hugged him tightly. "Thank you Wave."

"Yeah. Yeah." He pushed me away so I'd stop hugging him. "Now come on, Thunder. Let's get to class."

"Alright!"

"Race you!"

With saying that, Wave took off to our class. I blinked and darted after him.

"Wait for me, Wave!"
