Snivy, Vulpix and Mario have managed to reach the second floor of the castle without being detected. Since they managed to get out of the dungeons, they have been looking for their friends for the castle, but it has not been easy for the security of the place.

The leader hoped that they were not in trouble, but they had heard that they found a girl on this same floor. Most likely they are referring to Buneary.

In that case, he would hurry up, but he couldn't rush at least to put himself and others at risk of being caught. Something he would not allow it, much less for those Pokémon of los Ingobernable.

He saw their badge long ago, and he knew how dangerous they are. But he doesn't know if both know it. Knowing Vulpix, she has no idea what those Pokémon are and he does not care in the least. Maybe, Mario doesn't seems to know anything about them either, although judging his expression, he already has an idea of how dangerous they are.

Obviously, he didn't plan to go further until he informed them of everything he knows about los Ingobernables.

"Stop." Snivy said and stopped walking.

The two stopped, confused. "What's wrong?" Vulpix asked.

"I think you should know what kind of Pokémon we are facing before going further."

"Is that important?"

"Yes." He affirmed. "Do you know who they are?"

"They are los ngobernables." Mario replied.

During all the time they were with Mario, he hardly said anything. When Snivy asked about his personal life, he did not say anything about it. He just kept quiet. They also noticed that he did not feel safe with the two Pokémon that rescued him, maybe he didn't trust them yet.

But clearly Mario, knew who knew them for obvious reasons. Vulpix, it seemed that she didn't really know what kind of Pokémon are they.

"Is it something I should worry about?"

"Yes. Los Ingobernables are a group of more dangerous criminals in this region that has existed for more than five hundred years. They are wanted for theft, destruction of villages and guilds, attack and even murderer of Pokémon."

The latest detail scared Vulpix. She knew there were bad Pokémon that have done everything, but she never believed that they are people would be able to do that, it is the first time she heard it.

Normally when there is a fight between Pokémon, even in the Mystery Dungeons, always the one that gets lost, is fainted (sometimes the winners take various of the losers' items as a prize), and there they stay like this until they wake up. But getting a Pokémon to kill the other's life is the most cruel thing someone can do.

"Currently their leader is Mienshao, a very clever and cold Pokémon." Snivy, kept explaining. "According to the reports, she is a veteran in combat and strategy. It has managed to beat Pokémon with Platinum medals."

"Well, we got it, they are very dangerous Pokémon." Vulpix said. "But then why are you telling us about her?"

"Because this is the base of los Ingobernables." He answer.

This changes everything. That means they were in the mouth of Mightyena, the worst place they could be in this whole region. Vulpix, already understood why Snivy wanted to tell them

"Oh brother..." Vulpix said.

"Now you know." Snivy said. "We have to reunite with Buneary, Cubone and Deino as quickly and as carefully as possible. We were lucky they did not decide to do something horrible to us. But in judging what we have just done, it's better not bd caught again."

"Then let's go look for them!" Vulpix said.

With all that her partner had told her, she was already very well informed about Los Ingobernables. But Snivy, stopped her before he sleft.

"Rushing that doesn't mean we should not be careful." Snivy said

"But we've done well so far."

"Yes until now, but things are going to be ugly later. Remember that we are new in this, we will not last long in this place. "

"I get it. We have to be careful, okay?" Vulpix said, annoyed.

Snivy, hoping she would take the risk seriously, he said nothing and let her go ahead.

Mario, was going to follow Vulpix, but Snivy stopped him. He did not understand why, if he didn't had said a word and paid attention to rescue team leader.

"Is something wrong?" Snivy asked.

"Ehh?"

Snivy, remembered that something worried the Oshawott when they were in the dungeons. He had no chance that he could say anything. If what he was trying to say was important, this would be the best possible opportunity.

"I have noticed that you are thoughtful. If you have to tell us something, do it." Snivy said.

Mario, did not answer. It seemed that he was not very sure of himself, as if he did not have the courage to tell him. Snivy, wanted to try to convince him to reveal it, but de didn't want to press him.

"Okay, I will not press you to tell me." He said. "When you feel comfortable, you can tell me. It's okay?"

Snivy, smiled at Mario. He wanted to show that he is a trusted Pokémon and that he could count on him.

"It's okay." Mario said, trying to smile as much as he could.

"Come on, we do not want her to get in trouble." He said and went ahead.

With doubts, Mario followed the Pokémon. Snivy, it seems that he managed to make him Oshawott a little safer. The two had come up with Vulpix who watched the corridors if there was a Pokémon around here, but everything seemed to indicate that there was no one.

Vulpix, wasn't going to ask them what they were talking about, It's more importantly if there were Ingobernables nearby. The three continued walking through the corridors, watching to find some of the Pokémon of their team.

They heard that someone had just locked a door, very close by where they were. They went to the corridor on the right and saw the possible if that was the close door. They did not know if inside were a bad Pokémon or if was one of their teammates that would hide inside of the room. One way or another they had to find out.

They arrived at the entrance of the room. Carefully, Snivy opened the door and Vulpix was ready for whatever was behind that door.

When they entered the room, a strange light was pointing on their faces. They couldn't see who was responsible to pointed the light in their eyes.

"Nobody move. I will throw you this blast seed against you if you do something I consider danger."

Whoever this girl is, it didn't look like she was messing around. If she really had a blast seed in her hand, that was bad. All three were together and with a good throw, it could hurt them badly.

"Don't do anything stupid!" Snivy said, trying to see the door. If she threw the seed, he could use the door as a shield.

"That's what I just told you! Are you listening to me?!"

"I don't care!" Exclaimed Vulpix, angry. "Remove that light from my face and throw away the seed or you'll regret it!"

"Get lost!"

"That I get lost!? That's it, you're dead!"

"Vulpix! No!" Snivy yelled, grabbing his partner before she did something imprudent.

"Wait! Wait! Wait!" She yelled, trying to keep them from doing something. "Are you Vulpix?"

"What kind of question is that!?" Vulpix asked, angry. "What Pokémon doesn't know what a Vulpix is ?!"

"Well, first of all, I'm not a Pokémon. I'm human." She said and turned off the flashlight.

When she had turned off the device, the Pokémon (except Mario who was cleaning the eyes) were surprised to see a human for the first time.

"And in second place. I just got to this world, so I can't know everything about the Pokémon. all right?"

The Pokémon, were still surprised and confused. Why is this human is doing here in this castle? And why did she stop threatening them when she learned that she was a Vulpix? "

"What... are you... in this-?"

"IT'S YOU!" Mario shouted, as he launched towards the human. Before Snivy could complete his question.

He was hugging the girl's leg with a lot of emotion. Snivy, Vulpix and even the human, was shocked to see what the Oshawott was doing. They couldn't believe that Pokémon that they hardly knew, has made this kind of affection. They not even expect to see him so happy.

"I don't think I'd see you again, Maria!" Mario said, happy.

The three were surprised that he knew the name of the human. Maria, was very confused, the only Pokémon she had formally met, (and wasn't trying to catch her) was Buneary. She couldn't know another Pokémon.

"I'm sorry... but I don't know you." Maria said, uncomfortably.

"You don't recognize my voice?" He asked. "It's me, Mario. Your little brother."

"WHAT!?" Snivy and Vulpix, exclaimed at the same time.

They couldn't be more surprised, this Pokémon saying that it is the human's brother. It was illogical, they were not even of the same species.

"W-wait! Maybe you have the same voice as my brother, but there's no way you're your brother." Maria said.

Then he pointed out that she have to kneel and that he would say something secretly in her ear. She listened intently to what Mario was saying. After a few seconds, she smacked the Pokémon, angry.

"Ahhh!" He exclaimed.

"Was he lying?" Snivy asked.

"No, he's really my brother." Maria answered.

"Then why did you smacked him on the head?"

"Because he reminded me of a not-so-pretty moment." She said and looked at the Oshawott, confused. "What the heck happened to you? Why are you a Pokémon? "

"Forget it, what are you doing in this place?" Mario asked, changed the talk.

"Is it just obvious? I came to find you and bring you home."

"You shouldn't have come here to looking for me, this place is dangerous!"

"That doesn't matter to me! What matters to me is you! "

They argued without stopping, something very common among brothers. Meanwhile, Snivy and Vulpix, looked uncomfortably. They had forgotten them as if they never existed.

Casually, Vulpix looked at the other side. In the corner of the room saw Buneary, but she wasn't looking good.

"Buneary!" Vulpix shouted, worried.

Snivy, notice that and the two ran towards her. It was very surprising to see Vulpix worried about someone other than herself, it really mattered to Buneary. The Gomez brothers stopped arguing when they saw the Pokémon ran towards their partner.

"Buneary! What happened to you?" She asked, worried.

"Maria and I, we were looking for... the way to the dungeons... if you were still trapped... " Buneary explained, trying to ignore the pain. "Then we cross with an Arbok... he poisoned me. Maria, used ... her 'insecticide' to blind him for a moment... and... we ran to this room... "

She did not look good at all, she needs an antidote for the poison. They had lost their bag when the ghost-type Pokémon attacked them. Snivy, looked at Maria. She had a kind of bag on her back, maybe she has something inside that can cure her friend.

"Do you have an antidote?" Snivy asked.

"I don't have any antidote." Maria said. "I only have objects from my world and items that are not for medicinal use that I 'borrowed'."

"Really?" Vulpix asked, angry. "Of all the objects you took, did not you take that?"

"I'm sorry!" She replied sarcastically. "I was too busy fleeing my persecutors to forget to take them!"

"Shut up both of you!" Snivy ordered and then looked at Vulpix. "If you were in her place, you would have done the same and you can not deny it."

Vulpix, didn't say anything. Only she was angry. But back to the theme, they had no cure for Buneary. That means they will have to look for it.

"Maria? Where did you found these items?" He asked.

"In the warehouse from upstairs."

"Well, I'll go upstairs and pick up the antidote. You are going to put Buneary in a safe place and take care of her."

Snivy, took the decision to seek medicine on his own. Maria, disagreed. She knew that the Ingobernables were protecting the warehouse this time.

"No, it's very dangerous." Maria said.

"I know, but I cannot let someone on my team to suffer. It's my responsibility to take care of them."

"Then I go with you."

"Do you know how to fight?"

"No but-."

"Then take Buneary to a safe place." Snivy said. "I appreciate that you want to help me. Believe me, I'd rather have someone to watch my back. But as you said, you can't fight, Vulpix, doesn't have much experience and I think your brother doesn't know how to defend himself."

Mario, did not say a word, but he seemed to agree. He wasn't used to being in a Pokémon body, he felt useless.

"I'm sorry, Maria. It's better that you three take care of Buneary. I will go back as fast as I can. I promise."

Before Maria could say otherwise, Snivy left and go to the third floor. She just hoped that everything went well, but she had a bad feeling about this.

Snivy, has already reached the third floor successfully, just need to locate the warehouse. He wished he had asked the human on what part of this floor it was exactly, but he couldn't go back down unless he had the antidote.

He paid close attention to his surroundings if there were Ingobernables nearby. He managed to defeat several of them on the way here, it wasn't a problem. But it was strange that he didn't meet the Arbok that Buneary had mentioned earlier. Maybe he's down trying to locate the others, he just hoped he would not find them or at least that Vulpix could defeat him.

In the blink of an eye he already made it to the warehouse. It was strange that there was nobody watching and that the door was open, he doesn't know if the human had already found the store like this or did something. That doesn't matter now, he had to pick up the antidote before his friend faints.

He entered the warehouse with precaution. He was surprised at the amount of items in this room, He wished again if he had a bag to store those items to replace his stole bag. But he had a goal this time. Maybe when Buneary is well and they meet Cubone and Deino, they'll come back here and take those items to escape from the castle.

Snivy, found a pecha berry. It is a berry that heals the Pokémon in a poisoned state, it was perfect for curing Buneary. He grabbed the berry and left the warehouse. When it came out, He was attacked with a stun seed.

He was completely motionless. He heard a scary laugh from a Pokémon on the right side, he could even see who he is. Arbok, was sliding towards Snivy very confident. also his eyes were irritated.

"Well, well." he said. "What do I have here? A little Snivy. Although I was expecting two people here. "

He already understood why he's here. Before the two of them escaped the poison-type Pokémon, and poisoned Buneary. He knew they would have to go find an antidote to cure her. So Arbok went to the warehouse because it is the closest place to look for some item and wait for them to come for the antidote. He notice that Snivy had a pecha berry in his hand.

"I see, you went for that berry to cure your little friend. Is not that true?" Arbok asked and Snivy didn't answer. "I'll take it as a yes."

Arbok approached slowly in front of Snivy, invading his personal space. His goal was to cause fear to him, but he did his best to stay calm.

"How about we make a deal? You will take me with your friends and maybe, MAYBE I won't hurt you... So what do you say?"

The only thing Snivy did was stare at the Pokémon.

"I'll take it as a no." Arbok said. "Well, this is going to hurt."

Arbok opened his mouth to bite the helpless Snivy. Before he could do so, he felt that he touched his back.

"I told them I'll take care of-!" As he turned back, Maria sprayed something in the Pokémon's eyes.

"Not again! Not again!" He screamed, as she ran towards Snivy.

She grabbed Snivy and ran from the place. He noticed that she was directing towards where the rest was.

"Don't go where the others are!" Snivy ordered.

"Why not?!" She ask.

"It's too risky! Go to a different place!"

He realized that if he goes to the safe place, surely there will be a Pokémon to follow them. So Snivy, he was right, it's too risky. Then he ran to a room completely far away.

Maria, entered a room that had the appearance of an attic. It was old and dusty, maybe it would be an ideal place to wait for Snivy to recover. She had seen at just the right moment that when she was about to arrive at the warehouse that Arbok, had Snivy like would just want it, even though she did not know exactly what she had done.

She left Snivy on the floor and he still could not move.

"What happened? What did he do to you? "Maria asked, worried.

"He throw a stun seed when I left the warehouse. That causes me to be petrified for a while." Snivy answer. "But what are you doing here? I told you that you to stay with the others. "

"I know, but I was worried that something bad would happen to you. So after leaving Buneary, Mario and Vulpix in the safe room, I went upstairs to see if I could help you if there was a problem. And I was right. "

Snivy, was a little grateful that Maria listened to her instincts. If she had not come up here, at this very moment he would be tortured by Arbok. Speaking of that Pokémon, she sprayed something in the eyes of him that made him blind or something.

"What exactly did you do to Arbok that he could not attack you or follow us?" Snivy asked.

"I sprayed insecticide on him." She answer, while showing the object. "According to this, its component is permethrin, (although I don't know exactly what it is), but my brother says it hurts as if throw the juice of a lemon in the eyes."

"And how does he know that?"

Maria, didn't answered. She only looked at the other side, ashamed. He did not understand first, but thinking about it, he understood it.

"Did you spray the insecticide on your own brother!?" Snivy asked, surprised.

"It was an accident!" Maria answered, immediately. "They were seeing how it worked and... that happened!"

"You should be more careful!"

"I SAID IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"

Snivy, took a deeply breathe. He was not going to let himself get distracted by this talk, he had to concentrate on the present problem.

"Just forget it, we should go give this berry to Buneary."

"I agree."

"But we have to make sure we don't cross with any Pokémon, especially that Arbok."

"It's the second time I sprayed the insecticide on his eyes, I don't think he's going to find us." Maria said confidently.

Then behind her, Arbok hit the door so hard that it flew away. The two watched with a big surprise as he entered the room.

"Me and my big mouth!" Maria said, a little scared.

The Pokémon slid towards Snivy and Maria, very angry. Well, he had plenty of reasons to be angry, especially with the human. It can see that his eyes were closed.

"There you are!" He shouted.

"How did you find us?! I sprayed my insecticide on your eyes!"

"Even though you left me temporarily blind, it doesn't mean I can hear them!"

The two of them didn't know how sharp their ears were, but they had shouted when they talked about Mario's incident.

"Ohhh... chanfle!"

Then he attacked with toxic at Maria. But since he could not open his eyes, the attack failed. Although he almost hit her, she was scared.

"Son of a gun!" She exclaimed.

Arbok attacked with bite, but she ran and he pursued her. Since he was listening to Maria's footsteps, he had no problem. Snivy, was still petrified by the seed, but he was trying to move. At this point, he could move in any second.

As he had anticipated, the effect of the stun seed run out and he could move easily. Before helping Maria, he examined the persecution. He deduced that the Pokémon will follow any sound caused by one of the two. Snivy, had to find a way to attack him without making a sound to confuse him.

While thinking a strategy, Maria was still running from Arbok. As she was more focused on avoiding his attacks, She didn't notice that she shouldn't make noises.

Without realizing it, she ran to the corner of the room. Maria was cornered and cannot escape. Arbok, could attack her at any time. But before attacking, Snivy attacked him with vine whip at several parts of the Pokémon's body at a safe distance.

Arbok chased him, but since he could not see him, he can't defend himself. Maria noticed Snivy's intention was to him in different directions to confuse him. Although that hits seemed to hurt him as if it were bee stings.

She wanted to help Snivy in a way that could be useful. Well, fighting him directly was out. Neither can blind him for a third time and the seeds or any Pokémon items were in the backpack that left with Mario and the others.

She looked around and saw a large piece of furniture on the wall to her left. She planned to overthrow it on Arbok to defeat him. Although She didn't have exactly an idea how much it weighed it, but it seemed enough to try.

She started walking towards the furniture, but she could hear the wooden floor grinding as she passed. She was afraid that if she squeaked loud enough, Arbok would listen to her and attack her. Then she walk slowly.

Meanwhile, Arbok was losing his temper and was beginning to use poison stings in various directions. Snivy, couldn't attack him as normally would if he stayed that way for a long time. Then Arbok accidentally managed to launch the attack on Snivy, but managed to evade it.

But when he eluded it, he made a noise accidentally. Arbok heard that and attacked him with fire fang. He managed to evade it, but Arbok attacked with his tail. Snivy, used vine whip to hang up and avoid close combat attacks.

While Arbok attack in vain, Snivy looked around to look for a new strategy. He saw Maria next to a large piece of furniture, she seemed to want to tell him without speaking, she would overthrow the furniture when Arbok was in the right place. He was not sure if it was a good idea, but it's the best bet.

Snivy, low on the ground and used vine whip to grab the two columns. He planned to push himself to attack with enough force to send him to the right place for the human being to overthrow it. While he prepared himself, Maria took out a five-peso coin from her back pocket. She threw the coin in front of the room and Snivy. It was clearly the sound in the whole place where the mentioned coin fell and Arbok fell into the trap. When he attacked in the place without knowing that they trick him, Snivy prepared and launched himself to attack him with leaf blade.

Arbok, ended up on the floor, stunned and exposed. Maria, use all the strength to overthrow it before he recovers. She seemed not to be able to overthrow, but she managed to overthrow it away. Arbok, got stuck and tried to break free, although he didn't seem to be able to.

Snivy and Maria, went to the center of the room, where the coin fell.

"And you said it was better that I stayed with the others." Maria said, cheerfully.

"It seems so, I'm glad you're here." Snivy said, also happy.

The two in front of each other. It was surprising that barely knowing each other and being different species have done an excellent job. Then Snivy, saw Maria's coin on the floor and picked it up. The coin was very different from the Poké.

"Here is your coin." He said, as he handed it to her.

"Thanks." She said and took the coin.

Then Arbok, managed to break free and attacked the two. They had their guard down and couldn't protect themselves. But then more surprisingly, a powerful attack had reached Arbok and left him faint.

Before, they were surprised and now they are confused. It was good that someone helped them, but who helped them? The two turned to the right and saw two Pokémon. Maria did not recognize them, but Snivy did. They were Cubone and Deino.

"Apparently we arrived just in time." Cubone said, very confident and happy to find his friend.

Snivy, was very happy. He had already found all his teammates in one piece, though not all, but he had the cure for Buneary.

The two gave each other a handshake. "I'm glad you're fine."

"Any news from Buneary and Vulpix?" He asked.

"They're down in a safe place, along with an 'Oshawott'."

"Why are they down there?"

"Because they are taking care of Buneary who is poisoned?"

"Is she poisoned!?" Deino asked, worried.

"Yes, but we have this pecha berry. But before, that same Arbok used a stun seed to petrified me. I would have been tortured if it wasn't for Maria that saved me just in time." Then Cubone, looked at the girl with a lot of curiosity while she was assuring that if he really was faint. "She took me here to escape him, but he found us and we had to find a way to defeat him until you arrived."

"Hey Snivy, what kind of Pokémon is she? I can't guess."

"You won't guess because she is human."

The two Pokémon were surprised by the revelation of their leader. They believed that those pure beings are myths and legends.

"Is it human?!" Deino exclaimed.

"Y-yes."

Deino, looked at the human and ran towards her. Maria, really was surprised and the Pokémon hugged her with a speed that the two ended up on the floor. Snivy and Cubone, didn't give much importance and continued talking.

"Well Snivy, look what we found because you'll love it." Cubone said and showed it.

The object was a backpack, although Snivy wasn't very impressed, because Maria also had a similar backpack. "The things you carry inside will surprise you."

While he showed him, Maria, was trying to get Deino off of her. Casually, she saw what he had in his hands.

"That backpack is not yours!" She yelled and managed to remove Deino.

"Now is mine!" He said, while the human approached, angry. "I found it first!"

"It's not, give it to me!"

"You can try!"

Maria, angry, hit the head of the Pokémon. But she had forgotten about Cubone's skull and ended up hurting herself.

"Ahhhh!" Maria shouted.

"Hahaha! Now I invite you to do it again! "Cubone said confidently.

Still angry, She wasn't going to let him make fun of her. Maria, wasn't going to fall for the same thing. Instead of hitting his head, she stepped on his foot.

"Ahhhhh!"

While holding his foot, Maria took the famous backpack. After recovering, Cubone looked at the human.

"Besides, how do you know that backpack is not mine?"

"Because it belongs to my brother."

"Your brother?"

"Yes."

"And where is?"

"With Buneary and Vulpix."

Cubone, was confused. Snivy told him that the only one who was with them was an Oshawott. He was going to ask his friend, but he interrupted him.

"I explained it to you on the way." Snivy said. "First we have to take this berry to Buneary and then we get out of the castle."

"Well... I have to show you something first."

Judging Cubone's tone, he didn't sound good at all. He knew something important, something that Snivy suspected was bad.

"Show me what?"

"Something you want to see."
