Ch. 14 Derek...

(This is going to be the last chapter for this weekend. No more will be uploaded until Friday. I's spoiling you guys with this chapter so I hope you enjoy it.)

{Anthony's point of view}

I woke up on the floor. My face and body ached. I tried to move but couldn't because my arms were tied behind my back along with my legs. I tried to roll onto my back but couldn't. I looked around as best I couldn't but couldn't see anything useful. Just stone walls.

"Ugh. Where's Derek?" I asked.

I heard keys jingle as a door was opened, "You awake?" a deep male voice asked'

"Yes." I replied.

"Good. Here's your food." the man said as he put a bowl in front of my face.

In it was soup with various vegetables and some meat. My stomach growled so I tried to get it but it was just out of reach. I stretched my neck as I opened my mouth. I was able to bite the edge of the bowl and pulled it closer to me. When it was, I started eating it by either lapping up the liquid or sucking in the vegetables or meat. It tasted alright but I missed Machokes' cooking. When I finished, the man came in and grabbed the bowl. I laid there unmoving for some time and quickly was getting bored. My sweater was starting to make me sweat but I ignored it. Eventually I heard sniffling as the door was opened and Derek was shoved in. He immediately curled into a ball and started sobbing. On closer inspection I noticed his clothes were cut up and some bruises/cuts on his body.

"Derek? What happened?" I asked.

I heard him snort before smacking himself a bit, "Nothing important. Here, let me untie you."

When I was untied I got a better look at him. There were cuts on his wrists with what looked like rope burns. He had a black eye as well as bruises on his cheeks. On his chest was a huge three claw gash. Then the various cuts... and bites..?

"Derek, what did they do to you?" I asked.

"Everything. Anthony, we need to get out of here. They're going to kill us. Hybrid thought we had psychic infusions in our brains to make us love pokemon. We don't... he thinks we're useless now. He's going to kill us!" Derek told me.

{Rui's point of view}

When I woke up Silvia was hugging me hard. Warmth and happiness was flowing through me. However, I remembered everything that happened. I kissed Silvia making her happy until she saw my serious look.

[You want to save them right?] Silvia asked.

"Yeah. I'm just so worried about them." I answered.

Silvia kissed my hand, [Your lucky I love you. Talk to Jay and Goth. If you come up with something I'll consider it. I need to go out for a bit.] Silvia told me.

I watched as Silvia got off the bed, "What are you going to do?" I asked.

She put a hand on her hip giggling, [Wouldn't you like to know.]

I shook my head smiling as she left. I got up and went to get ready for the day. Jay and Goth were waiting for me with serious expressions as I got out.

"What the plan?" Jay asked.

I laughed, "Plan? You think I have a plan? I'm just the guy that bangs our leader ok? Not senior strategist." I told him.

[Seriously, you have to have something useful to tell us.] Goth pleaded.

I sat on the bed and looked down, "Sigh. I know they're in the base but what I don't know is this. Are we sure Anthony and Derek aren't traitors?" I asked.

"Derek... I don't know. Anthony, on the other hand, is loyal to us no matter what." Jay told me.

[Not to mention Garchomp wasn't aware of anything that's going on. She wants us to save Anthony or she'll go herself.] Goth told us.

"Well, if she really wants to, should we stop her? Less work for us." I joked.

[How can you joke at a time like this?] Goth asked.

"Heh! Because we're fucked! Hybrid's going to kill all of us! Not to mention Anthony is probably dead while Derek is fucking Zoe on his corpse. If we try to save them, we'll just end up getting ourselves killed!" I yelled.

"We still have to try!" Jay yelled.

"Fuck that! I'd rather just wait until death knocks on that door." I told them.

"...Your a pussy." Jay said suddenly.

"Did you just call me a..." I didn't finish.

"Pussy? Yeah. Your a bitch ass Pussy." Jay mocked.

I flipped him off, "Fuck off Jay! Your nothing but a pedophile!" I retorted.

"How's that?" Jay asked.

"I don't know. Asked the little girl your fucking." I mocked.

Jay tried to punch me but I blocked, "Take that back asshole!" Jay demanded.

"Make me dick!" I yelled.

[STOP FIGHTING!] Goth yelled, [We need to work together!]

I threw Jay's arm aside, "I'll be honest. I can't trust you Jay!" I yelled.

He was caught off guard and asked, "Why?"

I bit my lip lightly and said, "I just... I just can't believe it. I just can't believe that Zoe was you that entire time. It feels too convenient of an excuse!"

"Well guess what? It is. I didn't even know you guys left. You hear me? I. Didn't. Know. When I heard you were kidnapped I started freaking out because, like it or not, your my friend. I'd give life and limb for you, Anthony, and Derek. So stop fucking grabbing at air and help us come up with something. Anything!" Jay screamed.

I sighed and pinch my nose, "Ugh. Fine! Just let me think!" I yelled.

I paced thinking of plans. They must be in Hybrid's camp. The only way in without a huge fight would be...

I snapped my fingers and exclaimed, "I've got an idea!"

[Great. What is it?] Goth asked.

"Wait, let me get the popcorn. While I'm at it I'll call the press. Count pussula is going to be useful." Jay commented.

I ignored Jay's comment and explained my idea, "This is going to involve me and you getting captured Jay but don't worry. We will use this to our advantage. They'll most likely make us go into a cell with Anthony and Derek. Now, I know what your thinking, 'Why would we get ourselves screwed like that?' Easy, My bond mate told me that she can use her psychic infusion to track me. By the time we find Derek and Anthony the plan will go into stage 2. Make a pokemon joke and I'll kill you Jay. Anyways, Pokemon from our camp will attack the base causing a lot of confusion. In that confusion we'll meet up with our mates and get away."

[I think that's a good plan.] Goth agreed.

Jay was skeptical, "Pfft. Good plan? Are you High!? That's a shitty plan! I don't want to get shot just because they might capture us!" Jay yelled.

"Now who's the pussy? I thought you'd give live and limb for us. Are you a hypocrite?" I reminded.

Jay bit his lip glancing at Goth, "I... Alright. I'll do it." Jay agreed.

I placed my hand on his shoulder as Goth held his hand, "Don't worry Jay. I'm sorry for earlier." I apologized.

He accepted and we continued to talk. I told him how when I was captured; I was going to be used for a frolk-dei-skol. It was meant to break my mate's spirit as well as mine. You'd think I'd be used to it by now but... I'm not. I left the room to see if Chrono was around. Sure enough he was guarding the room. He laid against the wall asleep while standing.

I shook my head with a humorous chuckle before shaking him, "Hey, Chrono!" I yelled.

He woke up and started freaking out for a moment, [What!? Are we under attack!?] he asked.

I shook my head no and he relaxed, "I needed to ask... Do you know any... gifts?" I was shy because the reason embarrassed me.

[Gifts? For what?] Chrono asked.

"For..." I blushed hard, "Silvia... Wait. Am I allowed to call her that when I talk to you?" my mind was trying to avoid the subject with logic.

He laughed, [Yeah. She's my sister. I've called her that since we were Ralts. You know... I'm starting to think your the human she never stopped talking about.] He told me.

"She... talked about me?" I asked.

[A lot. It pissed our mother off that she was so infatuated with you. She never said your name but I knew it must've been you. If you weren't you'd be in a cage or skinned by now.] Chrono told me.

I could see the logic in that, "Oh. Well, thanks Chrono." I turned to leave.

[Wait you shy Ralts.] He told me.

I stopped and looked at him, "What?" I asked.

[You were asking about gifts and its for Silvia isn't it?] Chrono questioned.

I could feel my heart race as my blush darkened, "Y... yes." I replied with a nervous nod.

Chrono smiled, [I've got one. I was going to give it to some random Gardevoir but... I think my sister getting it from the one she loves has more meaning.] Chrono told me.

He held out his hand and in a flash of light a necklace with a weird ball on it appeared, "What is it?" I asked as I picked it up.

The stone had a dna like symbol, [Its a surprise. She'll tell you when you give it to her.] Chrono told me with a smirk.

"Thank you Chrono!" I thanked and, much to his surprise, hugged him.

He pushed me away laughing, [Alright. Get back in there. Silvia's coming back from her dancing.] Chrono told me.

"She dances?" I asked in surprise.

[Its her way of relieving stress. She loved to dance as a Kirlia but that's normal. All Kirlia do.] Chrono explained.

I nodded my gratitude and walked inside. My thoughts went to how beautiful Silvia must look when she dances.

(Some time later)

Me, Jay, and Goth sat on the bed waiting as I looked at the necklace. When the door opened I quickly put it in my pocket. Silvia walked in with a smile that grew when I waved at her.

[So, what's the plan?] Silvia asked.

We explained what we came up with and I noticed her frown at the capture part.

"You can track me with psychic infusions right?" I asked.

"Wait, hold up. What's Psychic Infusion?" Jay asked.

Goth rolled her eyes before Silvia explained, [Psychic infusion is basically... how do I put this? As Psychics we can use our powers to do various things. From lift rocks to talking telepathically. Each Psychic pokemon has a different specialty. I specialize in fighting using my powers but that doesn't really mean much. We can use our Psychic infusion to do other things. We can give psychic infusions through contact. That includes sex to increase the pleasure,] Silvia winked at me making my face bright red, [But we can also use it to produce a signal only we can detect. Which is what's needed.] Silvia told me.

"Any other ways to use it?" Jay asked.

Silvia answered with a smile, [To many to tell in a short conversation. However, if you want more examples. I can use the psychic infusion I placed in Rui to use Heal pulse through it even from a distance.]

"Can you destroy psychic infusions?" Jay asked.

I banged my head against the door asking, "Can we just fucking move on from this?"

Silvia came over and hugged my head kissing it gently, [Don't hurt yourself love. To answer your question Jay, yes. Another Psychic is needed though, as well as physical contact.]

"Wait, I remember one of Hybrid's bandits saying he was upgraded by Hybrid to sense pokemon." I told them.

Silvia bit her lip, [That means Hybrid is a Psychic like his father.] Silvia said aloud.

"Does that not mean our plan won't work?" I asked.

[It'll work just... be careful. If Hybrid touches you Rui, he might be able to sense all the psychic infusions in your body.] Silvia told me.

"How many do I have?" I asked curiously.

Silvia blushed hard with a nervous chuckle, [Uh... A lot. Remember every time we... um... I know you wouldn't want to go into detail with Jay here.] Silvia told me.

"No, please go on. I'm actually quite interested in your sex life." Jay said sarcastically.

Me and Silvia gave him a death glare making him sweat a bit, "Jay. Ugh, sigh. Whatever. Think we can go through with the plan?" I asked.

Silvia frowned and I could sense her worry. I rubbed her back sending waves of reassurance into her. She smiled at me before doing a long sigh.

[Yeah. Let's try it.] Silvia grabbed my head and whispered in my ear, "Garde Gardevoir,".

I blushed, "Uh... What?" I asked.

[Be safe.] Silvia whispered.

"Wait, why whisper when your talking to everyone?" I asked.

Jay and Gith looked confused, "Who was whispering?" Jay asked.

"...I'm guessing that using the Psychic infusions in my body, if you whisper only I can hear it." I said aloud.

Gardevoir blushed before pulling me into a kiss, [Your so smart my precious bond mate.] Silvia whispered.

I blushed hard, "W-whatever! Can we just do this?" I asked in embarrassment.

Silvia kissed my head, [Yeah. You two can leave now. Your going to get captured so you might as well not have anything on you.] Silvia told us.

"I guess. Ready to get captured?" I asked.

"Uh... How do you do that?" Jay asked.

"Do what?" I asked.

"Get ready to be captured. Its usually something that happens when you least expect it." Jay told me.

I just shook my head as I walked out with Jay. I felt something in my pocket and remembered the necklace I wanted to give Silvia. I'll give it to her after we get Anthony, and probably Derek, out of Hybrid's camp.

(One hour later)

"Dude, We're lost!" Jay screamed.

"We are not lost! I know where we're going!" I screamed.

We were arguing to draw attention to us. After all, we can't get captured if we are sneaking around. After twenty minutes of pointless arguing we decided to take a break.

"I'm surprised we haven't seen anyone." I commented.

Jay agreed, "Yeah. We were screaming our heads off. You'd think someone would hear us."

I heard shuffling as three people with assault rifles came out, "Get on the ground!" one yelled.

'Why am I not surprised?' I thought.

'I wonder what's for dinner later,' Jay thought.

We got on the ground as the soldiers tied us up, "How'd you find us?" I asked.

"We heard the screaming. You two need to shut up when traveling." One told us.

"Should we kill them or bring them back? Hybrid isn't there right now." Another asked.

"Hm... they're humans so we should bring them back. They don't have anything on them." Another said.

"Hey, your right. Why is that?" The first asked.

"Others in our group stole our crap and ran while we were sleeping," I lied.

"That's rough. Eh, we'll take them with us. Maybe they'll join us after Hybrid talks to them." Another suggested.

They picked us up and had us walked. I thanked Arceus that they didn't just shoot us. As we walked I noticed the bandits looked uneasy. We eventually reached a large fence with several guards on it. They noticed us and opened the gate. When we entered we were knocked out.

(Thirty minutes later)

I woke up untied with someone shaking me. I looked to see it was Derek.

"Derek!" I yelled.

"What's up?" he asked humorously.

He looked messed up to say the least, "What happened to you?" I asked.

"I was going to ask the same thing. Zoe told me she'd save you but I never thought she'd bring you back here." Derek told me.

Before responding I looked at him. I couldn't believe he was covered in cuts, especially the giant three clawed gash on his stomach. His left eye was black like someone punched it. When I looked closer I saw bites marks all over as well.

"Zoe didn't save me. My bond mate did." I told him.

Derek frowned, "Well... at least they spared Anthony for a time. Zoe was the traitor." Derek informed.

"We already know. Where's Jay?" I asked.

"Over there with Anthony. He won't wake up." Derek told me.

I got up and said, "Let me show you how its done."

I moved Anthony aside as I pulled back my leg and kicked his arm full force, "Wake up you dumbass!" I screamed.

I jolted up yelling, "What the fuck! I was faking it!"

"Well, you should've gotten up dumbass." I told him.

"Wow, your such an asshole Rui." Anthony told me.

"Yeah and your retarded. See? We all have flaws." I told him with a chuckle.

I looked around to inspect the cell we were in. I touched one of the walls and felt it. The wall was smooth and natural. We're inside a cave and... I looked to see there was a gate with iron bars. Outside it were two torches that made enough light for us to see. This place, other than the iron bars, must we

have been a natural cave formation. So we must be underground. As I looked around I heard footsteps along with the jingle of keys. The front door was opened as Zoe and Hybrid entered the cell. I backed up so that Hybrid wouldn't touch me.

"Your still alive?" Hybrid asked towards me.

"What do you mean?" I played dumb.

"Your an idiot," Now that caught my attention since Zoe was speaking, "I know you Rui." She told me.

"I think I'm a bit out of the loop. Since when Could she talk?" I asked.

"Turns out her dad's human." Derek informed me.

I growled under my breath, "Yeah. So what if I'm alive?" I asked.

"That means that she failed. In other words, you failed." Hybrid said as he turned to Zoe.

Zoe physically shivered, "B-But. We c-can kill him n-now." She studdered.

"True. We could." He turned back to face us.

Zoe did the same as she calmed now, "Should I kill them?" she asked.

Hybrid pulled out a pistol and shot her in the side of the head, as she dropped he said, "I don't like or accept setbacks. I should have known this would happen. You pokemon are so useless."

Derek screamed and tried to attack him but Jay held him back, "You mother fucker! How could you!?" Derek screamed.

Hybrid tilted his head before going over and kicking Zoe's corpse, "What? She betrayed you. Why do you care? She'd have killed you in a second. You should be thanking me." Hybrid told him.

I heard Jay whisper, "I hate to say it but he's right. She deserved it."

Derek stopped struggling and held his head down, "I know... but I... I still loved her!" He cried as he slumped to the ground.

Hybrid stepped on Zoe's head and squashed it, "I really do hate Pokephiles. Its disgusting." He told us.

"But your parents were..." I started.

"Don't EVER speak of my parents! They didn't want to have me. To be honest, no human really wants to do a pokemon. Why would they? Look at what they've done to our species." Hybrid told us.

"Our camp is like that now!" Anthony yelled.

"Yeah! Not all pokemon are bad! Some are good!" Jay yelled.

Hybrid sneered as he said, "Know what? Fuck this." He pointed the gun at us and shot Derek in the head.
