Elite Circle

********************8--------------------------------
It's still early in the morning. Like usual, Lance can be heard in his morning routine. Will just sighs as he gets dressed. He pauses in front of the mirror. Then he just sighs. Pretty average face, except the scar on the left side of his nose going up to just to the right of his eye. Every morning, he seems to get the idea that the scar will just magically disappear. He puts his mask on, covering the scar completely. Even his pokemon haven't seen him without this mask. He shakes his head. Then heads on down for breakfast.
His Xatus are downstairs, as are Jynx and Exeggutor. They all seem to be discussing something. When Will comes in, they all look up.
"What?" Will asks.
His pokemon go straight to the point. "Why the mask?" One of his Xatu asks. Will just turns away, and makes sure to block his mind. He is not interested in reliving it. The pokemon exchange worried glances. Whatever caused this must not have been pleasant. For a moment, no one moves or says anything. Then Will just shakes his head. His pokemon save him the aggravation of putting them to their pokeballs. He picks them up and heads on out.
***********************______________________________
**Caf.**
Will finds that he is the last to arrive. The others are seated at a table with their pokemon. Karen looks up as he enters.
" 'Bout time you decided to show." She says. Will just groans.
"Rough morning." He says lamely. The guys give the 'we're not buying it' look. Karen is willing to let it drop.
"I take it it's Halloween again." Bruno says indicating Will's mask. Bruno can never seem to just say hello. It is always some kind of stupid comment. Will doesn't even acknowledge them anymore. Instead, he goes up and grabs his lunch, then sits down in his usual seat. Lance and Bruno exchange the "now what" look. Karen isn't as nice about it though.
"What's gotten to ya this time?!" she demands. Will looks up at her. Then he seems to find his meal unusually interesting. Hitmonlee was standing behind Bruno, and is now tapping on Will's shoulder. Will looks at the kicker.
"Hmmm...oh." He releases his pokemon. Jynx goes over and chats with Lee and Chan. While the pokemon do their own thing, the group continues to try to get Will to spill whatever is wrong. His Xatu finally spills the beans.
//He's upset that we asked about his mask this morning.// it tells them psychically. Will once again finds his lunch very interesting.

**Flashback**
"WAKE UP!" 10-year-old Will is shocked out of sleep. His parents aren't psychic like he is. They are just the opposite, they are fighters. Will jumps out of bed and faces his father. "It's about time you lazy brat!" Will stands in the military straight-up position. "Get dressed and get your butt downstairs!" His father leaves. Will quickly dresses and comes down. His mom is standing there with his father.
"Took you long enough." She says. She shoves some food into his hands. "And you get no more until you earn it." Will eats quickly, then runs off to his chores. When he finishes 4 hours later, he decides to get out of there. He goes up to his parents and announces he wants to be a pokemon trainer. They laugh at him.
"Poor little Will, you think you can actually train a pokemon?!" His dad says. "Your head must be screwed up more than we thought."
"I'm not screwed up, I'm Psychic!" Will yells. This gets him nailed. A small amount of blood comes from the left side of his nose.
"Don't talk back you little brat!" His father says. Will starts out the door.
"You walk out that door, don't even think of coming back!" His mom yells at him. He turns to them.
//I hate you// He tells them telepathically. His parents' eyes widen. Then he walks out the door and doesn't look back.
**End Flashback**
********************888=====================
"Come on Will, it can't be that bad." Karen says. Will looks up. But doesn't speak.
//Was it really that bad?// Will looks down next to him to find all of his Xatus. //Sorry, but you are kinda strong.// One of them says. Will just nods to them. He feels something behind him. Karen is trying to undo the mask without him noticing. Will turns quickly.
"Darn, almost had it."
"Do I go through your stuff?" Will asks her.
"Someone went through my diary." She says with a pointed look at Bruno. Bruno sees it.
"I did nothing of the sort." He says.
"Well I don't think Koga did it." Karen returns, "And Lance isn't THAT dumb." Lance gives her the wounded pride bit.
"Madame, you hurt me." He says.
"Knock off the gentleman bit, you aren't fooling anyone." Karen sticks her tongue out at the Dragon Master, who of course has to return it. Will sighs, glad the attention is finally off of him.
##If only it was always this easy## He thinks to himself. He fixes his mask, then goes back to his lunch.
