A -BIG- thanks to ALL reviewers, I must say, it's a bit more difficult than I thought it would be to write from this P.O.V. . I need to make each sentence as simple as possible, yet detailed at the same time. Anyways, I keep getting the feeling that I totally ruined the story with this chapter. Please review, tell me how I'm doing. x.X

Thanks & Enjoy!

A long beeping sound wakes me up. It is very loud and close. It reminds me of Screech. But I know what it is. The red light is on.

Master wants me.

I get up from my pillow. I am not feeling as tired as I remember being. The cell door is open. I walk through it, and routinely to the door in the series that leads to the gym.

But that door does not open.

I stop and wait. But nothing happens.

I turn around and see a red light above an empty cell door. The door is open. The cell is not mine. I walk inside of it, and look around. The cell door closes behind me. I am locked in.

This cell is dirty and empty. The food and water looks old. There is no pillow.

This is not right.

I walk to the wall of bars that face the hallway. I cry for help. "Neeeeedoh-kweeen!" Nothing happens.

I cry out again. Still, noone comes. But I am strong. I can wait. They will fix this.

I sit down on the cold floor that is not my own. I see my own cell across the room. My pillow is there. I want to sit on it.

I am sitting for a long time. I am startled when the gym's hall door finally opens. A bright light shines into the dim dungeon. I see two figures walk in. One looks like a human. The other looks more like a Pokemon.

I can tell it's my master. I walk to the bars and cry out for him. He ignores me, so I wait. I see him taking the Pokemon down the hall towards me. He stops at my cell. My cell, my pillow cell. I see the Pokemon better now. It is a Nidoking. He looks very strong. But he can't be stronger than me. Nothing is stronger than me...

He lets the Nidoking inside my special cell. The Nidoking walks to my pillow and lays on it. This is confusing, but I am angry at this.

"Knee-dough..." I utter at master, hopeing he'll listen this time. He does, because he turns to face me. And at this moment, I feel very secure. But I see the expression on his face. He must have seen mine, because he started laughing. I am still confused.

"What's the matter?" I hear him sneer. His voice reminds me of an Arbok for some reason. He laughs some more. "I thought you'd protest to my newest installment..." he says, and I see him gesture to the Nidoking that now lays sleeping on my pillow. I am ready to react, but he speaks again. "Just about all of my top Pokemon do before they're replaced. It's a wonder that you things have minds enough for that."

The insult does not register correctly to me. I am confused, he has never spoken to me this way before. But now when I think about it, he has only spoken to me in attack commands. This is not fair... Replacement? This is all a lie? I feel a surge of anger, but he is already almost out the door. I stomp my foot down and cry out as I watch him through the bars. He turns around.

"Quiet, you. Because I am feeling generous, I will spare you... I'll have my servants come in here regularly to feed you until you die." He seemed to notice the new expression on my face. "Or do you protest?"

Wait, is this a chance to get my position back? I stomp the ground again, nodding deeply with a grunt. I see him grin, though. It makes me nervous.

"Very well. We'll see if I can't get you into some reconcilliation to teach you your purpose..." With that, he turned around and left. I try to figure out what he meant. But I fail.

It is dark again. I wonder what time of day it is. It must be night, because a while has passed and there have been no challenges. The hall is lined with cages. Some of them are filled. The ones inside are making noise. This annoys me. They are all weaker than me.

I look across the hall at the Nidoking. He is sleeping on my pillow. I growl loudly to get his attention. He must be awake, because he turns slowly and looks at me. He scratches his belly, and turns back around.

He is ignoring me. I do not like this.

He will not listen, though. I call again, then finally give up. This isn't fair... The ground surface on this cell is cold. I am tired, but I will not sleep on this.

I sit down to wait. I only feel more tired. Time passes, a lot of time I'm sure. But nothing happens.

I think about master. I am his favorite, I know it! I cannot be replaced, he likes me best! But I remember that he has not really shown any affection to me. This was all my own lie?

Waiting...

I finally hear the door. I stand up. The figure that had entered approaches me. He is wearing black. He must be one of master's underlings. He walks up to my cell, the one I'm in now, and presses a button on the wall. The door slides open and he comes up to me. I look up at him, but I cannot make out his face. He puts something around my neck. It is cold like the cell bars. I hear it click, and when he lets it go, I learn how heavy it is.

A chain is attached to this. The lengths look very thick. He grabs the other end of the chain which doesn't look too long and yanks me. He must want me to go.

So I go.
