Hello!
For this chapter, I could've done one of three things:
1: I could've taken the sensible course of action and continued the story from where I left off
2: I could've furthered Claire character depth by giving a more detailed account about her past
Or, 3: Write about something completely unrelated.
Out of all the logical choices, I chose 3.
So...
Important! Please Read!
This Chapter takes place in Lume's (Claire's charmander) Point of View
Important stuff ends here!
Oh, and this will fill in a few plot holes.
And... that's all I have to say about that
So, Pokémon is owned by Nintendo and Gamefreak.
14: Lume's Point of View
I growled as chief told me to guard the prison.
That was the only word for it, a place to lock up our enemies and captives.
I was to guard a cell which contained some girl named... what was it? Katori? No...
It doesn't matter, all that matters is what Chase wants me to do.
I laid down by the gates, my new body was too big for me to handle.
Once Chief had put me and my previous trainer into that machine, I had quickly gained level, and, without even battling once, I was a charizard.
The evolution was too quick, I had never gotten used to being a charmeleon.
Not that it matters.
I scratched my newfound collar, a black collar with jewels imbedded in it, jewels which kept me in my current state, a slave to master.
I enjoyed it, I know that if I was free I wouldn't, but I did now.
I sent smoke out of my mouth, it was boring, not that I wanted to move, it wasn't my choice.
I thought back to that day... my first day affected by Master's power.
I was stuck inside that device... that sphere, what was it called...?
Anyways, I was bored in there too, but I was respecting my trainer's wishes... just like what's-her-name had told me too...
I think she was my Trainer's Mom or something...
Well, none of that matter's now...
I remembered thinking of my Trainer like my mom; I had felt a lot of love from her, but, the second I was released from that sphere, I felt as though my trainer was the most disgusting thing in the entire world...
Guess master really doesn't like her, chief does, but not Master...
Just then, I heard a click, someone walked by...
It was that grunt, the one I had seen when I had first been controlled... what was his name?
He seemed to be in a hurry, he was walking rather quickly.
Chief told me to check out any grunt walking by to see if they had orders to be down in prison.
"Grunt," I growled, "What's your business down here?"
I knew human, thanks to the machine, but I didn't like speaking it.
"Out of my way, Lume!" it said urgently, "I just picked up something vital about Claire's location and I need to talk to Chief right now!"
"Not here" I said, "He should be up in his office." I always knew where Master was, but chief I had to guess.
"But someone said that-"
"He's. Not. Down. Here." I growled, threateningly.
The grunt ran off immediately.
I laid back down again, Claire, my old trainer...
I wondered... why is it when I heard that name... I felt guilty?
It was only for a moment, but... it was weird.
Master hate's Claire, so why did I feel guilty?
And why was I still dwelling on that? It wasn't anything.
I was an experiment, so it's only natural I should have some mental problems.
I just realized, no one ever told me what happened to Claire.
So what?
So what? She was my trainer!
So? Master never told me to care.
Yes, but "Master" wants to hurt Claire, think about that!
I don't care, it's not important.
I realized suddenly, this whole conversation I was having with myself, It's proof.
I won't tell anyone, but I think I need to do something... to keep my sanity.
My slavery was important, anything against that was insanity.
But what do I need to do?
Help Claire!
No, I wasn't going to do that, that would be entirely against any orders I got, plus Master had ordered never to see her again, it might completely mess his plan up.
You have to do something!
No, I don't, not for her...
Maybe that was it.
Maybe I needed to disobey...
But what could I do without getting caught?
I needed to do this, for Master, if not I could completely ruin his plan.
Wait, this prisoner I was guarding... she wasn't too important to master, as far as I knew, anyways.
This prisoner was Chief's Idea!
I knew what I could do, I hadn't messed up on a single order, do this would be serious, but wouldn't it be more serious if I were to let whatever's happening to me get the better of me?
I turned to the bars, making sure no one was around, they shouldn't be.
Once I was sure, I glared at the sleeping Kayari, or whatever her name was, and used rock smash.
The bars broke apart cleanly, and, surprisingly, didn't make much sound, the prisoner stayed sleeping, not much to do if you're locked away in a jail cell.
With that, I laid down, and closed my eyes.
I can go with the excuse that I was asleep the whole time, Master may know where I am, but he doesn't know what I'm doing.
I think it's obvious who "Chief" is, but who is this mysterious "Master"?
Probably won't really affect anything for another few chapters.
Oh, next chapter we get you off the cliffie.
And this is Kaya's first real appearance, not inside a hallucination, although she's just sleeping.
And I wonder how many of you already figured out who "Master" is.
Oh, well, see ya!
