And I am not afraid of anything, and I won't ever be.
My feet feel awfully heavy tonight, I can't place why. I won't deliberately stomp, because those are bad manners. I have good manners. I bet I have better manners than that Nidoking.
... Why am I thinking of this? I am not capable of falling that low, that is impossible. I'll stop thinking that way. I focus on the lead, and the silence that is not broken by our footsteps is broken by the Rocket servant's mumbling. I don't know why, but this makes me feel more secure. Why should I be insecure in the first place?
I wonder where he will take me?... Ooh! I just thought of it, that's brilliant! That explains everything! I smirk, though I know it probably doesn't fit with it's randomness, I don't are. I understand now. This place is always improving, I don't know why I worried so much... Master must be moving me to a better cell! My own private cell, with ten pillows and the sweetest water and the most luxorious food! I wonder how big it will be, I wonder if I'll be alone or next to other cells?
These thoughts are great. I'll let him guide me because I'm barely paying attention, hee! I haven't been in this kind of mood since I was a Nidoran! We come to stairs, and I need to snap to in order not to slam on my face. I find this amusing. The corridors are peach colored, I now notice, because I'm trying to calm down. There are little buttons, but it's nothing new. I've seen all this before.
I can't wait. I can imagine the soft pillows now, and then the battles! I'll probably have greater challenges now! Well, wait a minute. This is a bit awkward, and I'm going over what he said now. He wanted me to protest, right? Perhaps this is a reward for standing up for myself? My thoughts are getting gloomy again, I cannot place why. It irritates me. I feel myself frowning again as I think everything over. Why? It's worry, I must get rid of it!
The servant seems to halt abruptly, but it's probably because I wasn't paying attention. We've stopped infront of a large door, and I'm truly looking it over for the first time. He presses a button, and it opens. The room inside is dark, but he leads me in, and I follow.
We stop inside, and I look around. Well, perhaps this is... a stop before I get to my new room?
What childish thinking.
The servant had been behind me, and he now hits a switch on the wall. The room lights up, and the sudden light stings my eyes, but I do not rub them. I see what is infront of me. I see an arena. It looks mechanical from where I sound, there are odd shadow lines on the floor. The chains tug at me, and I look up at the servant who looks back at me with impatience and disdain. This is hurting me, for some reason. I realize it must be because I have not ever done anything wrong, never been disdained. I follow him.
He leads me into one of the painted-line boxes in the arena; where the Blue side trainer should stand.
Why a trainer box? I am not wild. Where is my master, who will I fight? I look ahead of myself as a large portion of the other side of the field sinks in. I hear the mechanical sounds that are familiar, I hear gears whirring and beeping sounds. I realize only now that the servant has just unhooked my collar, and he now takes the chains away. I do not move, but I stare at the floor. I wait.
The whirring stops. There is silence as I look from where I stand into the black abyss. It has lasted awhile now. But it starts again. It must be rising. I wait again anxiously.
Then, I see master. It is master! He will fight beside me, and we will challenge trainers, and we will win, and he will be proud of me. I see only his head, but now I see pink. I see more of it, and I realize it is the Nidoking. This enrages me. What does this mean, is it a misunderstanding? The Nidoking is in front of master, and his platform stops rising while the Master's continues. I glare at the Nidoking for a moment as the master rises high overhead. It is a trainer box. I am not stupid, I can see this. I'm on the wrong side.
There is silence, and the Nidoking is glaring at me. Are we supposed to fight? What is the possibility of that? Why would Master be fighting me... with the Nidoking? I wait for an explanation, because I deserve one. I am confused, and this is all wrong. This is not the way things are. There has been a mistake.
I hear a loud click emit from the contraption my master stands on. He is looking down at me. He is looking down at the Nidoking. He is looking down at everything.
"Go!" I suddenly hear him boom, and I look to the Nidoking. He is charging at me. ... It is comming too quick, but I am quicker. I will try to dash to the right. But his body slams into me, and I plummit to the ground with his weight on top of me. I scream out. I am confused... I feel his fist smash into my face, and I taste blood in my mouth now. I must get him off of me, but he is so strong and heavy... How is he stronger than me?!
I bend my elbows and place my claws at his belly to try and shove him off. I fail. He continues hitting me, and there is much pain. I don't know what to do, I need my master to guide me... But he is not, he is commanding the Nidoking.
I don't need master... I go still to charge a hyperbeam, right there infront of the Nidoking. He stops attacking and goes still as well, though he still has me pinned as I lie on my back. I am almost done charging it, the ball of light is growing in my mouth. Soon I will fire, and he will die.
I hear a distant command from master, and before I can recognize it, the Nidoking has grabbed my jaws. He closes them with his claws and shuts my mouth. I feel the heat of the energy in my mouth. This is a lethal blast-- I cannot keep it within me! I try to sustain it, and it explodes.
There is light...
I feel my back smacking into a wall, a hard surface. I open my eyes and I see the Nidoking. He closes his fist around my neck. I murr, I don't know whether to fight anymore... There is some unfairness here, it cannot be true that I cannot win. This is unfair. We will rematch with fair conditions.
Has time passed? Had I blacked out? It feels strangely like it. I glare at the Nidoking and he glares at me. My body hurts. I am thirsty, I want my clean water and I want to rest on my pillow now. I am tired...
He lets go of me, and I find that my feet had not been touching the ground before. I slide to the ground in a sitting position. I don't want to stand up. He steps to the side. I look up, and I see master stepping up to me. Master... He has come to save me. He will take me back to my cell to rest. I will have my pillow to rest on, and my water to drink.
... He has just stopped infront of me. I look him over. He is not smiling, he is not scowling. He is holding something black in his hand. He is raising it to point at me. It looks familiar somehow, but I'm not sure why he's using it like that. It points right at my forehead. I move my eyes up to my forehead to see if there's anything there, then I look to the thing. There's this black hole in it. Why is he just standing there, we're wasting time!
There is a noise, and--.
The end.
