Chapter 27 P.O.W.
I went into avian territory, and was surprised to find its inhabitants gone. But soon enough a commanding Far'fetch'd ordered me to turn around.
I did so, holding my hands up to show them that I meant no threat.
Beside the bird was an orange Dodrio. I almost laughed; the color looked ridiculous on it. But I remained quiet since laughter would not be met with the same.
[You are with the incompetents,] the Dodrio stated. [Give us a good reason that we shouldn't take you in as a prisoner-of-war.]
I'm here to negotiate, I stated.
[We don't want to negotiate,] the Far'fetch'd snorted.
But I have a good offer!
[And that would be...?] the Dodrio asked.
A third of Rainbowmon land.
The Far'fetch'd was incredulous, [A third!? We could get that on our own!]
Fine. Two-fifths, I offered.
[We can get that too,] the Dodrio huffed.
Not without time or loss of lives.
The two exchanged a look. The Dodrio spoke, [We shall have to talk it over with the others. But for now, consider yourself a P.O.W.]
Uh oh.
Hey! I protested. I'm just a messenger! You're not supposed to shoot the messenger!
I'd watched a little too much T.V. at the Ketchum's.
The Far'fetch'd gave an evil grin. [Who said anything about shooting?]
Oh dear. I didn't like the sound of that.
