Chapter Five : Aftermath

"Get them! Doe will flip if any of these scoundrels escape!" Shouted one of the bulky men, who pulled out his tranquilizer gun and started to shoot at the Pokemon that were leaping at of their cages, lunging forward to attack the humans.

"Since when did Pokemon have the brains to revolt in such a way?" The other man said as he tried to catch a Pokemon with his bare hands.

Many of the Pokemon did escape, but not a large amount of them. The room was just in a complete chaos as the humans kept trying to get them, succeeding in some cases, while the Pokemon were trying to dodge the attack and find a way outside. Attacks produced by the Pokemon soared at the humans, at the walls, at the cages, anything inside that little box destroying all of its contents. Darts being shot at a fast pace injected fluids into some of the rampaging Pokemon knocking them out instantly.

"Partially stun them! Take down the door! I'll try to steal their weapons!" Sarah barked at Cessy and Cloud. The origins of where Kaii was, the three did not know. They had not seen him escape or rampaging around the room but they knew he was somewhere. They all new, they shouldn't sacrifice their life just to save another.

Despite them all having a close bond it was not really that deep. They all had lived inside of this breeding center and let the days pass by while talking to each other, speaking of each other's dreams, but they were all selfish inside wanting to get outside, not caring if the Pokemon next to them got out. 'It's better if one of us gets out. That's what Kaii wanted, or what it seems.' Sarah thought to herself, as she demanded these orders. If they looked for him they would be caught themselves, their dream being crumbled to dust, that cannot happen.

Electrical sparks surrounded the small frame of the Mareep. The fur protecting its body from the cool weather expanded outward as the static made it grow larger. Yellow energy pulsated around its body. It let out a cry of power as electrical sparks were sent out at the three humans in the form of a thunder shock, temporarily stunning them. These Pokemon are mean to be sold, not to be trained. None of them knew advanced moves, just simple ones that are easy to bestow. "It's not working!" The two bulky men, who just seemed to grin at the attack, had shaken off the feelings of the electrical attack. Being pointed out, darts extending outward, the end needle gleaming as the light outside danced off the tip, a dart was shots were shot forward.

Engulfing the frame of the frame of the Vulpix, flames began to form. It made a sounds of crackling, like they were at a fire, as it bounced off her skin and onto the floor making ashes. A column of flames was shot right at the door, which had been closed by the scrawny men as they first originally entered. Going up in smoke, the door had immediately burned down. The surrounding areas began to catch on fire. One of the men noticed, the one reading the lists, and began to get the fire extinguisher.

Vines extended out, heading towards the weaponry, but missed only hitting the hands of the men. They seemed to be unfazed by the attack and began to put the Pokemoin who were unconscious, the ones who were shot or somehow hit by the humans into the cage, not caring which ones belonged there. Sarah realized this and just ran towards the door along with Cessy.

A cry of pain was released from the jaws of the Mareep. At such a fast impact, such a sharp object, the needle of the dart had entered into his skin so easily. The needle injected the fluids that would make it hard for the Pokemon to maneuver properly it soon took effect. Falling to the ground, Cloud stood there, not with a single movement like it was dead. Sarah and Cessy realized this and continue to run towards the door.

No other Pokemon was up and at it still except for them, the others all had been caught. Only those two had a possible chance of escaping the horrible life in which they were forced to live. The men grinned seeing the pain of the other Pokemo and began to chose after the other two. The two Pokemon were faster than the two men, the did not have to carry as much.

Being startled, all the trainers who were inside of the breeding center looking for the Pokemon that he or she desires they stepped back, wondering why there are two Pokemon running from the back to the door outside. All of them had stopped what they were doing and looked at the Pokemon, wondering what they shoul do, perhaps help the two men capture them. Being in shock though, they just stood their frozen, afraid of being attacked by the Pokemon.

All but a little girl was startled. She ran up to them and picked up the Fox like Pokemon. A smile crept onto her face, not one of sadistic ness and greed, but one of being happy. Black curls bounced up and down as the girl jumped up in happiness, finding the Pokemon that she adored. Hazel colored eyes starred into her mother with a look of true innocence, "Mommy, can I have this?" Somehow a little girl was able to catch the Vulpix while running, when the two men couldn't.

"Yes, dear, let's us ask if we can get it." The mother had responded. The two walked towards the counter, the little girl wrapped her little arms around the Pokemon giving it a hug as she walked forward. The Vulpix gave no indication of a response.

A customer had left the door slightly opened. 'Almost free!' Sarah had thought to herself, not realizing the capturing of her friend. Running with the greatest speed away from the men she slid outside of the door into the streets of Celadon/ The tall buildings surrounded the little Pokemon making her dizzy from seeing something so tall. The sun bathed her like she was on the beach. The wind brushed against her frame slightly, making her not as warm. She ran behind the store, where there was a thick patch of bushes. Inside of the bushes she peeked out, seeing the men no longer was there caring she smiled with relief. She had made it, the only one who did, but she did it. She had reached her dream.

After a few minutes, Sarah crept up to the entrance of the store, wondering about the whereabouts of her friends. The door had suddenly been swung open, a little girl and her mother emerged holding a box with a Pokemon inside of it. Sarah had realized it was Cessy.

"You wait here for a few minutes as I get the car, okay?" The mother had told her little child. The child only nodded with a response. With a smile on her face, the mother had walked off to her car.

"Cessy?" Sarah whispered. Cessy seemed to have noticed and responded. Sarah could not see her face.

"Sarah. We were all caught. I saw Cloud as we left the backroom; he was shot and thrown into the cage like he was fresh meat at a deli. Kaii well, I don't know." With no emotioj she said this, not even caring that her two friends were still contained inside of that prison. Sarah showed some sympathy and looked down at the ground, being slightly depressed and wondering what the two were doing now. "This girl, she seems nice, different then them."

"Should I follow you so." Kaii's inspiration had gotten to her; she suddenly got an idea, "to get you out?" Cessy only responded with a shakeing of her head.

"Live your life, despite it being a late start. I take care of myself, not you." The girl had heard a honk from the mother's cars horn. She ran up to it, immediately picking up the box containing Cessy and ran inside. This would be the last time Sarah would see her Vulpix friend. This was the last time she would be able to see any of her friends. She was now truly, alone. Before, she had friends, stuck together, now she's in a bigger place with no one. She had to learn how to adjust to the outside world, how to survive alone.

Suddenly a sound of a gunshot came from the building where she was once contained. She ran to the back of the building, where the Pokemon were contained and heard one of the two large men, "You stupid Rattata!" They had shot Kaii. Now all of her friends were truly lost. No longer helping them was in her hands. She walked over to the patch of bushes and jumped inside, hiding. She would stay in there, tears flowing down her cheeks, thinking about all that she had lost just to gain a little of something else.

(Authors Note: Now it is complete! Please tell me what you think of the ending, I'm sorry if it is sad. I have an idea for a sequel [Involving the same cast] so if you want to have a sequel please say so. I need for a few people to ask for one though; I don't want to write it so no one would be entertained by my work. Please note I cannot promise a sequel will be written even if you ask for one. Also please tell me your opinion on the ending. This fiction wasn't meant to be long, it was just meant to show the cruelty of trainers, or that there is a possibility that not all trainers' are nice like how the show perceives them to be; don't think it is my way to show I hate Pokemon. Thanks for reading. Review and ill review yours if you ask!)
