Chapter 22: Misery

Point of View Anonymous

"Dammit, dammit, dammit" I yelled in frustration as I look anxiously for Black. All I knew is that he said he was going on a walk late at night and I didn't even consider that he could get abducted. I was such an idiot for letting him wonder off alone like that and now he could have possible been kidnapped or worse.

I have been searching for him since dawn and it was now late afternoon and I was now running along the side of the mountain as fast as I could without falling down and killing myself. I looked as hard as I could to find him. If he really did get abducted I was going to feel like absolute shit since this was never even his problem from the start and he volunteered to help just to be nice and now he was missing.

"Blaaaack!" I yelled loud enough for the entire mountain to hear me. All I heard was my voice echoing off in the distance. I then decided to take a quick rest and strategies where he could possibly be. I knew he wasn't in town since I checked everywhere literally. If he was within the area I was in he would have already heard me yelling out for him. My next move would probably be checking the upper mountain and checking around the beach for him.

I decided that I was going to check the upper mountain to see if he was there. I highly doubted it though since he hated climbing up it, but it would at least be worth a shot. I quickly began running up the mountain as fast as I could. Eventually I came along a path on the mountain and I figured I could follow it so it would be easier to move around on the mountain, since it was only getting steeper from here. I quickly bolted down the path while looking around with my eagle eyes. From here I could see almost everything in the area from the Ambrette town to Cyllage city and even the beach. I continued down the path at lightning speed.

Point of View Flare

We were now almost at Ambrette town and soon we would finally be off this gigantic mountain. Not that I didn't like it up here I mean the view was just awesome but it was cold up here and I wasn't the biggest fan of hikes.

"Are we there yet" Kana asked me jokingly, that was probably the fiftieth time at least she asked me that question and I knew at this point she was just doing it to cure her own boredom problem.

"Yes" I said.

"Really" Kana asked in surprise.

"No" I said crushing her excitement. It was kind of funny seeing how gullible she could be some times and it was one of her traits that made her rather entertaining to be around since it was easy to mess with her and she was a good sport about it most of the time.

After about thirty minutes of walking we saw something rather strange. A Pikachu ran up the path we were on at lightning speed and in his great hurry he accidentally ran into Gray and they both fell on the ground. Kana and I both looked at each other awkwardly because we both knew this only meant Gray was going to throw another tantrum and it was kind of disappointing because he was actually in a good mood for once in his life, which probably had to do with Black no longer being around. Gray and the anonymous pikachu both hurried back up to their feet almost as fast as they fell down. Alex just stared at the pikachu and I could already tell what his simple mind was thinking.

"The hell was that for" Gray snarled in an annoyed voice.

"Oh Mew here we go" I whispered to Kana as we both inched away from the imminent argument slowly.

"Wow a pikachu" Alex said out loud in excitement. "I've always wanted to catch one of you guys."

"Dammit this is why I hate being a pikachu everyone always wants to capture me because I'm so damn sexy" The pikachu said in annoyance as he inched away from Alex who looked as excited as a little kid on Christmas morning.

The pikachu then gave out an annoyed sigh "I seriously don't have time for this."

"Gray quick attack quickly" Alex shouted with ambition.

"Dammit there is no winning here because I don't want to lose to you, but if I beat you Alex is just going to capture you and I can't deal with any more annoying pokemon in my life" Gray said as he began contemplating his next move.

Alex then noticed Gray struggling on his decision on whether to fight or not "Okay never mind then… Flare just use ember or something" Alex said in a confused voice.

I then began charging up an ember to defeat the pikachu. "No don't seriously I need to find someone who is in danger fast" the pikachu said in a dire voice. I then stopped charging my ember and let the flame die out in my mouth as smoke left my mouth.

"Danger" I said curiously.

"Yeah now I need to go sorry about running into you pal" the pikachu said as he began running down the path at lightning speed.

"Flare why didn't you do anything" Alex said, I could tell he was even more disappointed since all of his pokemon where defying him at the moment. Alex then let out a stress relief sigh "Oh well I guess we already have a lightning type on our team" Alex said in a more optimistic voice.

We all then continued our way towards Ambrette town where we would be staying for the night.

Point of View Black

I felt myself slowly come back to reality after my little fight with that white umbreon that kicked my ass. I slowly opened my eyes and quickly came to my senses and then realized that I was kidnapped by that psycho. I then noticed I was strapped down so tightly I could hardly even nudge my muscles even a little. I was now on a mobile bed being pushed down a hallway in some dark building with dimmed lights on the ceiling that flickered here and there. The people who were pushing me were humans wearing a mask that was just basically a human face with nothing on It, there was no mouth, no eyes, no nostril holes on their nose. I quickly realized that it was just probably a fabric they were wearing to conceal their identity and that they could probably just see through the fabric they were wearing.

I was now terrified though. I had no idea who these people were or what they wanted from me and their masks didn't make me feel any more comfortable. They quickly hauled the mobile bed I was in down the hall at a really fast paste. I tried screaming for help but I quickly discovered the muzzle they put over my mouth so I couldn't fight back in any way. I was defenseless and I was now officially screwed. At the end of the hallway I could see a set of doors that they were pushing me towards and they pushed the bed I was on through the doors and a bright light blinded me instantly. The room I was in had equipment everywhere that was similar to what you would see in a hospital. There was also a lot of knife on a desk and I could see computers in one of the back corners of the room. One thing that I did notice about this room was how clean it was compared to the rest of the building I saw.

"Move the specimen by the equipment and we can get started" One of the masked men said in a bossy attitude. I was quickly pushed to the middle of the room and one of the scientists looking people grabbed a tool and began bolting the bed I was on down to the ground so it couldn't move.

"Good we can now proceed. Bring in the translator" The bossy scientist demanded. Then out from the door I originally was hauled through came a kadabra. He walked towards me in a calm attitude and looked me in the eyes.

"Good evening you must be Black" he said in a semi friendly voice.

"You may call me Zero, no that is not my real name if you must ask but that is how you will address me" The kadabra said. I just looked him dead in the eyes with a look that I hoped showed how much I wanted to hurt everyone here.

"I am here to be a translator and I will be the closest thing you will have to a friend. I will tell the humans what you say through mind telepathy. If you cooperate during the duration of the test you will not be harmed but only if you cooperate" Zero said in a friendly voice even though it was obviously fake.

"Now I have a proposition for you. I am going to take the restraints off your mouth so you may speak freely. If you try using any attack we will use a drug to knock you unconscious and then when you wake up I'm afraid we will have to punish you. Are we clear" Zero said in a very serious voice. With the little room I had I gave a small nod to show I would agree to his conditions for now. One of the humans then undid the mussel on my mouth and the first thing I did was open and close my jaw a few times to stretch it out a little since it was a little stiff from being forced shut so long.

"Where am I" I asked quickly after I stretched my jaws a little.

Zero just looked at me in an annoyed manner "Okay let's get one thing straight Black. I am the one who is asking questions here, so here is what I am going to tell you. If you cooperate I will reward you with one answer to a question once were done here, assuming that it isn't harmful to me or my colleagues here.

"Fine, then what do you need to know from me" I asked in a cautious tone.

"Oh heavens don't think your special I just need to know a few things. But we will do that later" Zero said in an insulting manner.

"Beginning the procedure" The head scientist said as one of the other scientists quickly grabbed my head and put my mussel back on. Then I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Through the corner of my eye I could see an empty syringe injected into my neck and then began sucking a blood sample out of me. Then what the next scientist did absolutely terrified me to death and made me just want to scream in absolute terror. He picked up an electronic saw and pulled the trigger on it and began making the blades on it spin at a high velocity. He then slowly put it towards me. I closed my eyes and hoped whatever he was going to do was going to be quick and painless as possible.

"Quit screwing around" One of the scientists yelled in a very pissed off voice. Then the scientist just gave an annoyed sigh and put down the saw he was holding and picked up a pair of scissors and clipped off a small section of my hair. Then another scientist came by with a knife and cut a perfect straight line on my side. The cut was only about two inches but I still didn't like what they were doing. Then she grabbed an odd pair of scissor and dug the scissors into my cut a little and cut off a small chunk of flesh off of me. The scientist then grabbed what appeared to be some form of rubbing alcohol and poured it on my wound to disinfect it with any germs it may have gotten. The piece of flesh that was stolen from me really hurt and I really, really wanted to kick every human's ass in this room when I was out of here.

"Alright lets run some test on the samples we got and then we will continue from their depending on the results" The bossy scientist barked in a grouchy tone.

Then one of the scientists grabbed that weird bolting tool again and unbolted the mobile bed I was in off of the floor and then the other scientists began pushing me out of the room and out into the hallway again. They pushed me halfway down the hall until we were by a door with multiple locks on it. One of the scientists grabbed a pair of keys off his belt and began unlocking each and every lock. Once it was opened the scientist pushed me into a very cold and dark room. The room smelled like spoiled cheese and I really didn't like that at all. In the room was multiple figures that appeared to be pokemon but I couldn't quite make them out since it was dark and it appeared they were locked up in cages. Once I was in the room one of the scientists opened up a cage. Then I felt another prick on the back of my neck and I quickly realized they were injecting me with something. I tried to resist but it was futile. Then one of the scientists unstrapped me off the bed and removed the mussel on my mouth. I would have fought but I all of a suddenly felt too weak to do anything and I couldn't resist the scientist. They threw me in a cage and shut the door and locked it. The cage I was in had really thick bars on it that would be impossible for me to break out of even if I wanted to. I sat in my cold cage as my body felt completely numb and immobile.

Point of View Flare

We were now in Abrette town finally and I was just happy that we could finally take a break from our search. Alex led us towards a hotel in the town that we were going to stay in for a night so we could get a proper night of rest to finish our journey to the second gym tomorrow.

Alex walked into the hotel to buy a room for the night as we all patiently waited outside for him to finish up in there. After about five minutes of waiting he walked out with a key in his hand and we all followed Alex to our hotel room. We walked up some stairs that were outside the hotel which led to the second floor and we walked to our room. Alex then unlocked the door and we walked into the hotel room.

The instant we walked in nobody wasted any time to get comfy here. Gray quickly claimed the couch for himself and Kana darted straight for the giant bed in the corner of the room and jumped on it and made herself comfy.

"Bed" Kana said out loud in relief as she relaxed from days of nonstop walking. I on the other hand was tired but I felt more like doing something around town than just lying around being lazy for the rest of the day.

"Alright listen up guys. I don't care if you walk around town but the deal is that if I have to look all night for one of you again I will think twice about this. Are we all clear" Alex said in a stern voice.

I didn't waste any time and I quickly made my way towards the door to leave. "Are you going to walk around Flare" Alex asked me. As I always did I just nodded to say yes. Alex was polite enough to open the door for me so I wouldn't have to jump up and unlock it with my usual method.

Once I was outside I made my way down the stairs of the hotel and began exploring the unique town we were in. It was not often that you stay in a town located on a mountain. I walked around the town and enjoyed the interesting scenery around me.

"Dammit" I heard a frustrated voice call out in anger. Me being me I decided to see what was going on. I guess Black was right when he said I always intruded on everyone's business. I walked behind a building which happened to be the pokemon center and I saw the same pikachu that ran into Gray earlier. He looked absolutely pissed and on top of that he was pounding his fist on the brick wall of the pokecenter.

"Are you okay" I asked in a nervous voice. The pikachu then snapped out of his frustration and noticed me.

"Oh hey didn't I run into your friend earlier" The pikachu said.

"Yeah that was my friend Gray" I said followed by a small chuckle.

"Oh I'm sorry" He said in an embarrassed tone.

"Oh it's cool. If you don't mind me asking did you ever find that person you were looking for earlier? I think you mentioned it earlier didn't you?" I asked curiously. Their I went again intruding in people's personal business.

The pikachu just frowned at me and I understood what his answer was going to be. "I'm sorry about that. Is there anything I can do to help you" I asked trying to help him out a little.

"No please don't" The pikachu blurted out instantly. I just looked at him awkwardly since most people would have accepted my help.

"Sorry" I said with a frown.

"No I'm sorry it's just that the last pokemon that tried to help me was abducted and you should stay inside when you are alone it's dangerous here at the moment" The pikachu said.

"Why is that" I asked wanting to learn more.

"Pokemon around here have been getting abducted lately and I've been trying to find them and yesterday someone offered to help me but I think he was abducted too now and it's my fault because I didn't help him" The pikachu said in a frustrated voice.

"Wow that's horrible" I said in a sympathetic voice. "Is there anything I can do to help out even a little" I asked trying to let him let me help him. I was curious who his friend was but I decided I didn't want to pry too much. After all it's what Black would have wanted.

The pikachu just stood there and thought for a few seconds. "Just keep pokemon off the street at night and that will be enough" he said as he began walking away from me.

"Where are you going" I yelled towards the pikachu's back.

"I'm going to find those missing pokemon if it's the last damn thing I do" he said in an ambitious voice as he began his search. I would have persisted on helping him but I couldn't leave town without betraying Alex's trust so for now I was just going to do what he asked of me and try and keep pokemon off the streets at night.

Point of View Black

After a few hours of lying on the floor feeling completely numb the medicine wore off and I was finally able to move around a little. I looked at the other pokemon trapped in here with me. I counted them and I noticed there were around five pokemon locked in here with me. There was two eevee's locked in a cage together, a charmander, a squirtle and a rattata. I couldn't help but wonder if they were some of the missing pokemon that were abducted.

"Hey where are we" I asked the pokemon locked in the room with me. One of the two eevee's locked in the same cage responded to me "We don't know" She responded in a dull feminine voice. The other eevee sat in the corner of the cage in a deep depression.

"Well how long are they going to keep us in here" I asked her.

"We don't know, probably until we are all dead or they are done experimenting on us. There was at one point around twelve of us locked in here but now we are all that is left" She said in a depressed voice.

"Were all going to be dead soon" The rattata shouted from his cage in the corner of the room.

"No were not going to die" The eevee shouted at the rattata.

"My name is Crystal and this is my younger sister Ebony" The eevee said as she pointed at her sister lying on the floor in a deep depression. "And the rude rattata in that corner is named Danny" Crystal said as she introduced me to her friends or cellmates.

"My name is Blue, I'd shake your hand but obviously that's not going to happen." The squirtle said from his cage.

"People call me Connor" The charmander said from his individual cell.

I was surprised how open everyone here was being since I'd imagine they'd all be pissy since they are confined in this hell hole, hell I was pissed for being here less than a few hours. "My name is Black" I said deciding not to ice out the pokemon that could help me survive here or even get out.

"Nice to meet you Black" the squirtle said from his cage with a weak smile on his face.

Well I decided not to waste any time and get right to work with these guys "So you guys have an escape plan right" I asked awkwardly.

"No the last pokemon that even spoke of escaping got a bullet put into his head right on the spot by those scientist goons" the charmander know as Connor said in a pissy voice.

Then the door barged open. "Oh shit their going to kill you umbreon for even mentioning that" I heard the obnoxious rattata yell across the room.

Then my jaw dropped as I saw who was walking through the door. It was Stark that asshole umbreon who kicked my ass in the first place. He just calmly walked up to my cage and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Alright Black I don't want any bullshit I'm here to get some questions out of you. The kadabra known as Zero wanted me to ask you. So cooperate and make this easy on yourself" Stark said in a cold voice.

"Fuck you, fuck Zero and fuck everyone here" I said in a rebellious voice.

"Don't screw with me Black or you are going to regret many things really fast" He said in a cold voice.

"Now here is what I'm supposed to tell you. There were some samples of DNA taken from you and they are going to perform tests on you until they can prove you are a legit umbreon with the evolution disorder thing they are looking for" Stark said.

"Now until then I'm here to interrogate you and I am allowed to do anything to you that won't kill you" He said in a voice that sent shivers down my spine.

"Now question one. Do you actually admit you have the evolutionary disorder" Stark asked.

"What kind of dumb question is that, your dumb quilava friend saw me use it so go shove your question up your ass" I said in a pissy voice.

Stark was unfazed by my attitude and just preceded with the interrogation. "Question two How much do you know about us" Stark asked.

I thought for a second about an appropriate answer "I know some of your faces and that's it" I said with an attitude.

"Are you sure that's all you know" He questioned me.

"Don't tell him shit" The charmander Connor yelled from his cage.

"How about you don't say shit and I don't kill you" Stark snapped at Connor. He then just sat down and obeyed Stark's orders.

"Third question where is your friends and how much do they know about us" That question really sent shivers down my spine and I feared why he wanted to know that.

"They have nothing to do with this so leave them out of this" I yelled in an angry voice.

"Black, do not test my patience with you. I have no empathy so don't think for a second I won't mind torturing the answers out of you" Stark said in a serious voice that indicated that I was getting close to crossing the line.

"Where are they" Stark demanded.

"I… I don't know honestly we all went separate ways after we were attacked in Luminose" I said in a fearful voice. What I didn't want him knowing is that I knew where they were going and they weren't far from me to begin with.

"Bull shit Black start talking now" Stark said in a dark tone. His voice was now striking fear in every nerve of my body and my heart rate was increasing because of the pressure of the situation.

"I don't know I'm sorry" I said in a scared voice.

"Well that's too bad for you then isn't it" Stark said. He then held out his paw and it glowed in a dark aura similar to the shadow ball attack I used.

"This is dark matter. I'm using a low concentration so it won't do any serious damage but that doesn't mean it won't hurt. Did you know dark matter can do physical damage to a body but it mostly does damage to the nerves of the body when used in a low concentration. So in other words you are going to be enduring a lot of pain here in a few seconds" Stark said as he looked me dead in the eyes.

"I don't know honestly" I said in fear. Everyone that was locked up was now staring at me fearing for me. Yet none of them would dare even say even a word. Crystal the eevee was now shielding her sister from the horrible scene that was about to happen and I just braced myself for the torture I was about to endure.

He then cut the lock clean off of my cell with his paw that was covered in dark matter. The door to my cell slowly creaked open and I took my chances and lunged towards him to try and fight back. Sadly for me he anticipated that and hit me directly in the face with his dark matter paw. The hit itself wasn't to strong but the dark matter burned my face really bad and my nerves in my face felt like they were on fire it was almost unbearable. I sat on the floor holding my face where I was struck and I slowly got back up to my feet once the pain went down a little.

"I'll give you another chance Black, your only hurting yourself" Stark said in a calm yet serious voice that made me feel uneasy.

I then began charging up a shadow ball but he then hit me again with his dark matter paw right in my throat. I fell on the ground and gasped for air as I tried to breathe through my mouth. As I was struggling to breathe Stark then walked up to me and then hit me in my gut really hard and made it ten times harder to breathe. I continued gasping for air and I could feel myself wanting to just give in and tell him what he wanted to know, but I wasn't about to betray the only people who were nice to me the past two years. The dark matter wasn't leaving any serious marks on me yet the nerves around the areas he hit me burned as if they were on fire.

"Black I'm really getting bored here so can you just talk already or I'm going to have to make this more fun for myself using crueler methods" Stark said as he tormented me. I just lied on the ground gasping for air.

Once I caught my breath stark then opened his mouth again "Well not going to talk still are you" he said in an annoyed voice.

Then both of his paws were covered in dark matter and he jumped in the air and landed on me with both of his front paws and I literally felt like I was about to die from the pain. But he wasn't finished their yet then hit me in the face again and I then began to yell in pain. I originally tried not to show any sign of pain so I wouldn't give him any satisfaction of any kind but now I couldn't stand the pain.

"Well your not going to take much more abuse" Stark said. I now was so relieved that he was showing a sign of stopping.

"But hey they can" Stark said as he began walking towards Crystal and Ebony's cell. He then cut off the lock and the door opened on its own. Crystal stood in front of her sister in a defensive position.

"So you want to volunteer huh?" Stark said to Crystal as her sister coward in fear behind her.

"I don't care about myself just leave my sister alone ass face" Crystal said in an intimidating voice.

"Fair enough" Stark said as he punched her in her face and she hit the ground with a solid thump noise.

"Leave her alone!" Ebony yelled in fear as she ran towards her injured sister to try and help her. Stark then punched her in her hip and sent her flying into the side of the cage and she struggled to even move slightly from the blow she received. Stark then bit down on Crystal's fur on her back and began dragging her towards me in her mouth and threw her right in front of me. I tried getting the strength to stand up but my body wouldn't let me and I hated myself so much for it right now.

"Last chance, tell me where your friends are" Stark said in a serious voice.

"Please I don't know I swear to all the legendaries, I promise I don't know anything please don't" I begged in a fearful voice that obviously showed that I was terrified. Crystal was barely conscious and she was now looking into my eyes in absolute terror for her life. Her life was now in my hands and I had to choose who I wanted to die, her or my friends.

"Well Black" Stark said as he began losing his patience with me.

I then thought of something that I could say that would possibly buy me time "You can't kill her. She's your precious specimen for your testing right? You can't kill her she is valuable to you guy's" I said hoping that I was right.

"Think again" Stark said as he looked me dead in the eyes. I then saw his right paw become engulfed in dark matter that had a higher concentration than what he was using before. He then shoved his paw straight through crystals back and I could see her chest slightly opening from the other side and I saw blood come out of her mouth.

"Noooooo!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Stark then removed his paw out of the now dead eevee's back and she lied on the ground lifeless. Her lifelss eyes were frozen in fear as Blood gushed out of the gaping hole that went straight through her back and out her chest and blood was dripping out of her mouth due to the internal bleeding caused by the lethal wound. Everyone in the room looked terrified and in the background I could hear Ebony crying.

I then began looking at the blood that covered Crystal and I then noticed that I was covered in it as well and I then began feeling sick to my stomach and I could feel myself beginning to blackout but I fought it as hard as I could.

"Zero, send in the scientists" Stark yelled out loud. The scientists with the creepy mask's then stormed the room and quickly grabbed me and threw me in my cell and slammed the door. The scientist then attached three locks onto my cage and also locked Ebony's cage back up and then they left the room. The scientists didn't even bother taking crystal's corpse, nor did they look fazed by her dead body.

"Remember Black there is still four pokemon you can still save alive" Stark said as he exited the room.

I just lied in my cage feeling terrified, sick to my stomach and guilty. The room was still silent besides Ebony's crying in the background. I could feel any hope and sanity I had left leaving me as I could feel myself giving up on even living. At this point I accepted that I was dead and I was now responsible for Crystal's death and I didn't deserve life. I was a monster and I wished I would have just died years ago so no one would have gotten hurt over me.

Chapter End

Author Note: Wow a lot of shit happened lol. Even though I wrote this I couldn't help but feel bad for what I've done to Black in the story lol. Anyways Black now has to make one of the hardest choices in his life since his friends lives are at risk and he literally has to choose who he wants to live. His friends or the Pokemon being held hostage with him. In real life I know I'd struggle with that because I wouldn't be able to put my friends in danger like that, but at the same time I couldn't just watch people get slaughtered in front of me all because of me, so yeah Black is in his own personal Hell right now with no way out. Now on to Stark, Stark is truly an individual who lack empathy for anyone. I'd really love to hear some opinions on Stark since no one has really said anything about him yet so I can't really tell if I'm doing good with him or or not but I'm sure this chapter may have shown people what type of pokemon/person he is. Also i'd pray to god that you guy's put the pieces together and noticed that the pikachu that Flare was talking to was Hesh, if no one noticed then I guess I just suck at writing lol. Anyways we will have to see how everything rolls out from here as Black goes through hell and Hesh tries to find him and Flare and the rest of the team is oblivious and no one even know's where the hell that charmander from before is, and no I didn't forget about him! Anyways long chapter and with that I had a lot of stuff to say. Please take a few seconds to review and show your support. Thanks for reading and thanks you everyone who has reviewed so far/ (Except that troll, ain't no one thankful for yo reviews)
