Misty awoke in a bed, no, wait-why am I in a bed?! Lets see, I was at Tracey's, and I ran…and got caught…by…Gary! No! I'm not in Gary's castle! She opened her eyes just the tiniest bit and saw Gary staring over her, drooling. She could smell his scent of blood and slime. He noticed her eyes opening, and smiled.
"Good, you're up, my love. It's about time, it's been quite a few hours." He stood and put the mug that was in his hands on a table by the fire. "Now, let's get down to business." He walked over to the bed she was in and got over Misty, straddling her waist. She then noticed that she had both her hands and feet tied to the poles of the canister bed. "There's a reason I bought you from Malena, part for her pleasure, and part for mine." He purred, bending down to kiss her on the neck. "Do you like the outfit I designed for you?" He asked, leaving a slimy trail from his tongue along the lower part of her jaw.
"Huh?!" Misty looked down at what she was wearing, and gasped. It was a bikini-style slave outfit. (Think Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi) It had a metal-like top, and matching bottom, both with swirling designs. In between the designs was a light blue silk, to keep her from being 'to revealing', although the bottom was worse. It was a small bikini bottom with the same metal-like outline with the same swirls, and blue between. The back and front were connected with a thin chain, and the blue went down the front and back to about her ankles, and Misty felt disgusting in it. "Ugh!" She said, a look of utter disgust on her face. She tried to squirm, but the ropes and Gary kept her down. "No!" She wailed.
"I had my nurse-maid put it on you, I didn't want to see to much before we announce our love." He whispered in her ear and then nibbling on her earlobe. Misty pulled with all her might on the ropes attached to her wrists.
"You will maintain your distance, sire." Misty warned.
"You didn't say please." Gary kept kissing around her neck and ear, unaware that his servant was ripping the rope.
"Please." The two upper ropes snapped. Her arms came flying down with such force of the snap, Gary was hit on the head, and rolled off the side of the bed. Misty took that couple seconds to undo the tie on her ankles, and then got off the bed. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She then quickly searched the room for a weapon while Gary got up and rubbed his head. There it was- a sword. It was lying on the chair next to the door, on top of Gary's cloak.
Misty ran over to it and picked it up, both hands clasped on the hilt. "Oh no you don't, my little pet." Gary said with a 'tsk, tsk, tsk.' He strutted over to Misty, shaking his head. "Ladies such as yourself shouldn't play with sharp objects." He said with a smirk.
"I have a question for you." Misty started, bringing the sword up, the blade pointed at Gary's chest. "Did Malena tell you anything about me?" She asked, twirling the blade around, millimeters above his chest.
"She only said you were a wild Taros that needs to be tamed."
"Well, I'm not…" She stood there, taking in the beauty of the blade for a couple seconds, letting Gary wait. "Did you know-my father was the best swordsman, save the king himself, in this land? Both Kanto and Jhoto." She brought the blade back, looking deep into his eyes. "I don't appreciate the way you're treating me, and I don't like being here. My father taught me everything he knew-would you like a demonstration?" She asked sweetly. Not waiting for an answer, she trailed Gary's cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood in its wake.
"You witch!" Gary spat, rushing to the mirror. He looked at the small cut, and held his palm over it
"Let me go, and I won't hurt you more." Misty warned, taking up a fighting stance behind him.
He saw her in the mirror and smirked. "My guards are stationed all around this castle, and they're all about the land surrounding this place-what makes you think they won't catch you on your way out?" He asked, momentarily forgetting the pain from the wound.
"You needn't worry about the little things, monsieur. Now, give me the keys or I swear on my father's grave that I will slit you nose to navel." She held the sword by his nose, just to emphasize her point. She saw him gulp. She prayed he wouldn't call her bluff.
Gary slowly reached for the keys in his pockets.
Misty had won.
Gary handed the keys to her, and she smiled. "Now, get on the bed." He did as she was told, and not long after, he was tied to the bed, the same way as her, only gagged with his cloak. "I will be going now." As she started to leave, she thought about how she'd get past the guards. She looked around the room and then at Gary. "Ah-ha!" She pulled a Pokeball off of his belt and released the Pokemon. It was a Nidoqueen. "Nidoqueen," Misty started, "Does your master treat you kindly?" She asked, looking the Pokemon in the eye. The Pokemon shook its head yes with a little cry. "You don't have to lie to me, I want to know because I need help getting out of this castle, and I want to know if you want to leave with me." The Pokemon cried out, Misty interpreted it as a cry for yes. "Thank you." She said quietly, looking into the female Pokemon's eyes. "I need you to look like you're taking me away…Let's go." She said with a smile. Nidoqueen nodded and stood by the door. Misty grabbed her old, tattered gown, which was lying in a heap in the corner of the room, slipped on her old slippers, and left the room, and the castle.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Ash rode…and rode…. and rode. He took the short cut, the non-mountain way, hoping to cut down on the normally 2-hour ride, to about an hour. He was making very good time, he left only about 20 minutes ago, and he was already a couple miles out. He'd be there in no time, I hope.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Misty huffed her way out of the castle, glad to be free. Sure it was hard, but now she was free, for good! She wanted to change into her old clothes, but Gary could free himself and catch her and the Nidoqueen.
I really don't like him, and I hope Giovanni is out of Viridian right now, I heard he's horrible… Oh well, what should I do now? Can't go to the castle-Ash-no, you idiot, His Royal Highness- is married now. The manor-only if you want to die. I need to see Tracey to get my Pokemon back, he still has them…and since I couldn't live with Tracey 'cause Lily or Malena might see me, I could go live with the gypsies! They're my friends, and they surely wouldn't mind…She continued walking through the courtyard, with an anewed spirit. She walked with the other servants, she stuck out with her outfit and the large Pokemon. The servants looked at her in pity, thinking she was leaving to go to Giovanni since Gary finished with her. The guards believed the same, knowing that that was what Gary did with the women he bought.
Misty continued out of the castle grounds, and walked down the path to the dirt road. She walked through the gates, a few guards looking at her, sorry for the beautiful woman who Gary must've taken. The red head walked down the path, not knowing where to go. If I follow this path, I could come across some people I don't want to see…The woods are probably safer, and it looks like there's a field down at the bottom of that hill…I could go that way…I still need Nidoqueen to act like she's taking me somewhere-a servant walking alone will draw attention… "Thank you, Nidoqueen." Misty said as they walked through the woods. The Pokemon, who was a few steps behind Misty, looked at her with surprise in its eyes. "You helped me escape. You're letting me have another chance at life, a good life." She hugged the Pokemon, and it looked like it was smiling.
It growled, and Misty guessed at what it was saying. "I don't really know what you're saying, but I think you're asking what you're going to do, or be, now." It nodded. "Well, you can become wild, but that could be really hard on you. Or, you could come with me, since I don't think you want to return to Gary. I'm, hopefully, going to go live with the gypsies. They're my friends, and they'll love you." She stopped and sighed. "I miss my Eevee." Her eyes started to water. "She must be so scared. Malena threatened to kill her! I pray Tracey is keeping her out of that witch's reach. I should go get her and the others…I need them." She looked down at the ground, till she felt the Nidoqueen's paw ? on her shoulder. "Hmm?"
It growled a bit, and Misty got confused. "What are you saying?" The Pokemon pointed to the Pokeball the Misty was carrying under the dress, and back at itself, then at Misty. "Are you wanting me to put you in your Pokeball, and keep you?"
It nodded.
"Ok!" She smiled. "But, I can't put you back yet, passerby's could see me, and they can tell I'm a servant, so they could take me if I don't have someone, or thing, taking me somewhere. But, I promise I'll take great care of you."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Return, Nidoqueen!" Misty said as the red beam shot out of the red and white ball and returned the Pokemon. "Again, thanks." She put the ball, shrunk, in a pocket on her dress. She then changed into her old gown, out of the outfit Gary had given her. She debated with herself on whether to toss the clothes or keep them, and decided to keep them. She didn't know why, but she did. She continued through the forest now, and stopped at a clearing. There was a little stream and a few small Pokemon were drinking from it. They looked up when she entered, but they didn't leave. Misty walked up to the small stream and looked into it. It was crystal clear, and the water was quite cold. I am pretty thirsty… She scooped her hands up and took a sip. It felt good, the water running down her dry throat. The Pokemon that were also drinking looked up, and scurried away.
"Huh?" Misty looked around the clearing, noticing the Pokemon leaving. She hadn't scared them, and she knew it. Then, she heard hoofbeats. Trots, to be exact. Someone is riding it. She started to leave, but she was to slow.
A Rapidash appeared from the side opposite Misty, a rider on its back. Blue eyes met brown, and they locked. Misty gulped the water in her throat, picked up her items, and left the clearing by stepping over the creek and past the horse.
"Misty! Wait!" Ash called, stepping down from the Rapidash.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
A/N-How is it this time? Ok, before you start questioning this-Gary does remember Misty beating him when they were 9, and that's one of the reasons why he wanted to buy her. Kay, bye! Oh, please read and review!!!!!!!
