Chapter 3
Many Pokemon got better after they let us out to get some "fresh air," so the Testers decided to let us out once a week, so that they could have healthy test subjects. A week later a new Pokemon showed up. He was to be Death Flight. Nothing big happened in the next two weeks, but something big happened to me at the end of those peaceful, but scary, two weeks.
"How are you little Magikarp?" a Tester with blond hair said. I think the Tester was a male. I'm not very sure about them. I guess they are all its.
I didn't answer. I was scared. I heard rumors from my friends they do horrible things to them.
"I need to do some tests on you. I'm not going to hurt you. Don't worry." It reached its hand into the water tank. I swam closer to the group of other Magikarp. It took another Magikarp by the name of Crown.
Help me!!! Crown yelled to us.
Crown! another Magikarp by the name of Bloody Mary cried. What are they going to do with you?!
They want to 'insect' me. What do they mean? One of the Testers has a sharp- He was cut off.
That could have been me, I thought. Being the 'weak' Magikarp I was, I tried to put it in the back of my mind. I wouldn't let them insect me! I wanted to know what insecting was.
Hey, Water Shadow! Death Flight greeted. Death Flight was so clam and cool, but yet lazy.
The water cold? Huh asked. I think I'll take a dip.
The water's fine. Come on in. Where's Dreamer and Vee?
They're coming. You know females and how they walk so slow. Huh and Death Flight said at the same time.
Speak for yourself, Huh. I muttered. Huh is a Slowpoke after all, but Death Flight was as fast as lightning since he couldn't fly.
Hey, guys! Vee said. It was true; Vee was leader of our group.
Dreamer nodded her head in acknowledgement that I was there. Then
she went right on thinking. The thing about Dreamer is that she thinks too
much.
Dreamer? Since you're the one that has been here the longest, do you
know what 'insecting' is? A Tester took one of the other Magikarp from the tank
to 'insect' him. I mumbled. I knew it would start some big thing.
'Insecting?' Dreamer wondered.
Something with a sharp, he got cut off. I couldn't hear him anymore.
Oh my Legendary Birds and Wolf-Cats!!! You mean dissecting! It's
when they take a sharp knife and cut you. I don't know why they do it. I guess
Testers have nothing better to do. Did…
The Tester wanted to take me to dissect! I shouted in shock of it all.
The others were stunned. Paralyzed. There was a moment of silence.
You know, one of those unwanted moment of silences.
Are you serious? Vee asked, breaking the silence between us. Her
eyes were full of pity and sadness.
Yes. I answered clearly.
Do you think… Huh started to trail off when Vee nodded her head.
Do you think what? Death Flight asked.
It's time for us to use the escape plans. Only us though. The other
Pokemon can't go. We will leave them the plan, so they may think of another
plan to escape. Vee said confidently.
Why can't the others go? Death Flight asked.
Too many is too bad and too noticeable. Dreamer said.
When do we go? I asked.
When you and Death Flight have learned the plan, and when we can
figure out how to get you out of water.
I can stay out of water for five minutes at a time.
Then we need to make some minor adjustments to the plan. Vee said.
Let's break out! Huh shouted. He actually sounded excited. Wow!
