So here we are on the next chapter. Hopefully most of you remember what has happened before the flashback. This was a pretty fun chapter to write and hopefully it came out alright. I've been trying to find time to go back and remaster some of the first chapters of this story but I've been to lazy to do it honestly lol. I did redo the first chapter two weeks ago and its a lot better and much more presentable. I look back at that 1st chap and I question how some of you tolerated the bad grammar I had back then. So I came pretty far in the past three or so months. Anyways thanks to everyone who's read past all my horrible grammar back when I started lol.
Chapter 51: Shattered Arm
Point of View Black
So here I am again… in another pokecenter… for the fiftieth time at least. The only good thing about getting hospitalized on a daily basis is the fact I get to sleep on the comfy bed's they have in the patient rooms. The room looked like every typical pokecenter room. Bright lights that made me want to hide under the comfy bed I was on and there was your typical artificial plant in the corner next to the door along with some chairs against the wall with some old magazines. I would have been comfortable in here if it wasn't for that light that is frying me like an egg.
It was now midday after the little incident with Gray and I was not letting this go. The bones in my right arm completely shattered because of him and now I was going to be stuck like this for Mew knows how long. My arm still hurts like hell but the worst part of the pain was gone for now. After a few minutes of me thinking of how to get back at Gray the door to my room opened. I looked over anticipating Alex or something but instead I saw a doctor.
The doctor looked like every other doctor. She had that dumb white jacket on and that creepy thing around their neck that they put against your chest. The doctor also had long blonde hair that was in a ponytail. The doctor was also pretty young compared to the other old people I've seen working these crap holes.
"Okay Black I'm just going to have to apply a cast to your injured arm and you'll be able to leave once your trainer comes back to get you" The lady said with a big smile that surprisingly didn't look fake compared to other doctors. She then plopped a big case on a small table right next to my bed.
"What are you doing" I asked the doctor even though she had no idea what I said.
"Don't worry this'll be quick" she said politely as she opened the case up. The contents of the case contained many different kinds of wraps and I had no idea what she had planned or what the hell a cast was.
"Lady I don't want you touching me" I detested. The lady then pulled out some mesh looking wrap.
"May I see your right paw" she asked politely as she reached out one hand towards me.
"What'd I just say" I growled at her. I wasn't in the mood for this and I was no fan of doctors after the first time I got put in a pokecenter. I still remember those whack jobs that almost killed me.
"Come on now I'm just trying to help. Now be a big boy and-" She tried saying before I interrupted "Okay don't talk to me like that I've seen things your human heart couldn't take" I snarled at her. I mean honestly I watched my family die and faced death many times and your telling me to be a big boy as if I was some little kid.
"I guess you are not a strong umbreon" The doctor said in an attempt to play with my emotions.
"Nope I guess I'm not" I replied back as I turned my head to her and refused to make eye contact. I couldn't believe she was trying such a cheesy tactic like that and it was rather insulting.
"Okay listen buddy I get it you don't want me to touch your arm but I bet you want out of here more, so if you cooperate I can get you home faster" the doctor said and caught my attention right away. I turned my head towards her with interest.
"Okay now let me have your paw" she asked and I complied this time with no resistance.
"Fine but you better not screw up my arm" I said in a stern voice as she wrapped a mesh like wrap around my arm. She was very gentle and I could hardly feel anything as she carefully wrapped the mesh around my arm. After the mesh was wrapped I thought it was over but then she pulled out another wrap and began wrapping my arm again. This time though I could feel more pressure and it was slightly upsetting my arm.
"Ow" I winced as she completely wrapped it around my lower arm and finished that part of my cast. "Now are we done?" I asked in annoyance. I don't know why I keep asking questions when these humans can't understand crap.
The lady then pulled out another wrap but this one looked much thicker than the others. She began wrapping this wrap around my arm and the pressure was actually hurting my arm a lot, I tried to pull away my arm but the instant I did that my arm shot up with pain since she was holding it and I hurt the bones in my arm. After a few minutes the last layer was on and this ugly white cast was on my lower right arm.
"Okay Black that's that and you can leave once your trainer comes back to get you" the lady said with a friendly smile as she picked up her case and walked out of the room. I looked down at the cast on my right arm. It was rather tight, uncomfortable, and bulky. Since that lady was gone there was no point in having this thing so I bit down on the cast in an attempt to tear it off. The instant I bit the cast my teeth hit the hard surface and failed to penetrate it.
"Dammit" I yelled in frustration. I wanted this thing off now and there was no way I was going to be seen walking around with something as dumb as this on my arm.
After around ten minutes of me gnawing on my cast the door opened up again. This time instead of a doctor it was Alex, his dad, Flare, Hesh, Ebony and Kana. Every single one of them piled into the room and quickly took up all of the breathing room. Everyone stared at me as I sat up on the bed, this felt extremely awkward being the center of attention.
"So how's the arm" Hesh broke the silence. I slowly lifted up the cast and showed everyone in humiliation.
"Just pull the plug on me, I'm not living a day like this" I whined as I looked at the obnoxious cast on my arm.
"Black… your not on life support and there is no plug to pull" Hesh said and made me feel a little silly.
After a few minutes of everyone talking that same nurse from before walked back in the room with a clipboard "Good evening can I please have your signature and you'll be free to go" the doctor said as she handed Alex a clipboard with a piece of paper on it. Alex grabbed it and wrote his signature on it with a pen and handed back the clipboard.
"Okay thank you, your umbreon will have to keep that on for about four weeks, but if you let him sit out in the moonlight every night he may heal up in two weeks" The nurse said.
"Sure anything else I should know" Alex asked.
The nurse looked back at him "Yeah don't let him walk on that paw and let him rest up. And some vitamin D never hurts either" the nurse said.
"Okay thanks" Alex said and the nurse gave a nod and exited the room and left us to ourselves.
"You ready to leave Black" Alex asked.
"You wouldn't believe" I replied and Alex grabbed me and gently set me on the floor. I didn't like being picked up but I could see why he did that since he didn't want to further injure my arm.
Point of View Nia
I walked down the streets of Cyllage city with very angry footsteps. Everyone who looked at me and noticed the angry look in my eyes instantly moved out of my way. In my mouth now was the only syringe I had left and the even better things about the one syringe I had left was the fact I had no way of injecting myself with it. Being quadruped had its ups and downs, I really wish there was a way for me to inject myself with the syringe.
The wound I received to my shoulder was still their but it was healed up enough for me to walk with little difficulty. I only had one thing on my mind right now and that was getting my medication in my body. I'm already a few days overdue on it and I could slightly feel the effects taking place. I had to take the medication at least once a week and I wasn't really a fan of skipping out on my medication since I needed it to operate properly. So the real question is where was I going to find someone to inject me with a random syringe.
"This is just perfect" I muttered below my breath as I considered my next move. I turned down another street and I continued making my way around the city without a purpose.
"Hey umbreon what are you doing here" an unhappy voice said from behind me. I didn't bother to look back since I didn't care for talking to assholes.
"Hey he's talking to you" Another voice yelled at me in a hostile tone. I stopped walking and I looked back at the pokemon behind me. The pokemon behind me was a geodude, a totodile and an axew.
"I'm not in the mood for crap so go away" I growled with the syringe in my mouth at the bunch. I looked around a bit and I noticed that this street was completely empty and we were the only pokemon on it at the moment.
"You should speak more respectfully towards us" the axew growled at me. I looked at the pokemon with a serious glare that showed no fear and only anger.
"How about you leave me alone" I muffled with the syringe in my mouth.
"What's that" the totodile pointed out the syringe in my mouth.
"Probably drugs, she's probably looking for somewhere private so she can have a good time with it" the geodude said with a laugh.
"How about you mind you mind your own business" I snarled at them. The geodude replied to me by picking up a bottle on the ground and threw it straight at me. He threw it at light speed and I hardly saw it coming. When the glass bottle made contact in the center of my skull it shattered and I fell to the ground and the syringe fell out of my mouth. My vision was blurred for a few seconds and I could feel a chunk of glass stuck in my head. The syringe that was in my mouth rolled towards the group of pokemon and once it reached them the axew stopped it from rolling with his foot.
"Pitiful umbreon resorting to drugs, there's a reason the worlds better off without your kind" the axew said as he picked up the syringe and unscrewed the top.
"Don't" I yelled at him as he began to slowly spill out the contents of the syringe.
"Oh and why not" the totodile asked as he smiled with sick joy from my pain.
"That's not an illegal drug it's my medication and I really need it" I yelled in a desperate voice as I watched him slowly spill the contents on the floor.
"As if we care" the axew said as he completely spilled the contents on the ground. Hope instantly left me as I watched the axew rub his foot all over my medicine on the ground. Now I was really screwed since that was the only medication syringe I had left.
"Your going to regret that" I growled as I stood up on my four paws and stared down the three pokemon with a death stare.
"As if were scared of a little scrawny anorexic umbreon like you" the totodile said. That last comment did it and my patience was gone. I charged at the pokemon at light speed. No one and I mean no one comments on my size.
I tackled right into the axew and sent the pokemon straight into the ground. I stood over the lizard creature and I slugged him as hard as I could in the face with my paw. The instant I hit him I jumped off him just in time to avoid a water gun from the totodile.
The geodude tried punching me as well but I moved away from him and made my way towards the totodile. The totodile saw me running towards him and he fell to the ground and shielded his face from me. Sadly for him his arms didn't protect him from a solid punch to the gut. The totodile let out a loud gasp of air as he fell on his back.
I jumped on top of the defenseless pokemon and I punched him over and over in the face until his nose was bleeding and his face was bruised severely. Then I felt something rock hard smash into the side of my skull and I flew onto the ground hardly conscious. The geodude then stood over me as he cracked his knuckles. He then picked me up by the neck and held me in the air as he slugged me right in my stomach. I let out a loud scream of pain as he continuously whaled on my underbelly with his rock hard fist.
After the tenth punch he grabbed me with both of his arms and threw me onto the ground and my body smacked on the concrete ground. I struggled to breathe as every nerve in my stomach cried in pain. I couldn't breathe no matter how hard I tried and I felt extremely noxious after taking that much abuse in the gut. I felt myself gag and bodily fluids came out of my mouth and onto the concrete ground. After that I fell into the pile of vomit hardly conscious as I fought to stay awake.
"Stupid umbreon" the axew said as he walked up to me with a limp. I would have replied if I wasn't still struggling for my breath as I rolled onto my side to help me breathe. The axew then let out a smirk and kicked me as hard as he could in my stomach. I let out a loud yelp as the pain began to feel like too much. My stomach felt like it was on fire from all the blows it has received in this fight and I couldn't take the pain anymore.
'Am I going to die here' was the only question I could think. The axew continued to look down at me before he delivered another kick into jaw. That kick sent a wave of pain through my whole head and I instantly felt dizzy. Everything grew dark as the axew turned around and walked towards the totodile that was lying unconsciously on the floor. Before I knew it my vision went completely dark.

"So why can't you tell me where we are going" I asked the white espeon.
Since I passed the mind interrogation Vincent and Merrick were now escorting me to some place they wouldn't speak about. The only reason I passed the mind interrogation was because of something Zero did to my head so Vincent didn't see what really happened when I was in the genesis base. Instead he saw a false memory of me being knocked out the duration of my stay until I was brought to that place where they gave me to Crimson. So in other words they were oblivious to the truth and Zero outsmarted Vincent.
"I told you you'll see when were their" Vincent replied as we walked through a forest.
"It's on the other side of Kalos" I replied back.
"Yeah and you'll see it on the other side of Kalos" Vincent responded back to me as he maneuvered around the brush and tree's. This was pretty annoying in my opinion. I hated surprises and I wasn't in the mood to travel across Kalos without a decent reason to why.
"So since I passed your little brain interrogation are you going to tell me your mastermind plan" I asked Vincent as I followed him.
"Yeah once were at our destination."
"Okay then what is this? I let you go through every personal thought in my head and I can't even have a reasonable answer to what's going on" I said with frustration.
Vincent turned his head back at me "Alright I'll tell you where we are going but after that you have to be patient okay" Vincent proposed to me.
"Okay" I replied back with a nod.
"We're going to our hideout. There we will tell you everything and you'll learn our full plan" Vincent said as he looked forward again. I couldn't lie that was a pretty good reason to why I should keep going and it was a sign that I was almost free. All I have to do from here is get Crimson's little plan and maybe backstab a few pokemon and I'll be free for the first time in my life.
Point of View Black
We were all now stuffed into that hotel room of ours and at this point there was hardly any room left with all of us outside of our pokeball's. Everyone was socializing or relaxing. I was lying on the couch which Gray would have claimed if he was here but he was out in an unknown location at the moment. Alex and his dad both went out to look for the absol while we all stayed here and rested up for tomorrows, which I wouldn't have to do due to my injuries.
While I lied on the couch I continued to gnaw on the cast on my arm. This thing was uncomfortable and made my arm itch a lot and I was slowly going insane with it on. Sadly my teeth wouldn't penetrate the solid cast and I only managed to wear out the surface a little.
"You know your not getting it off like that right" Hesh yelled out to me.
I released the cast that was now covered in my slobber and looked at Hesh "And how do I get it off" I asked the all-knowing Hesh.
"Simple you don't, those things are idiot proof and casts like those have to be cut off with a saw or something like that" Hesh responded.
"So let's get a saw and cut this bulky thing off" I said.
"Don't you know that things on you to protect your arm" Kana added in.
"Oh really I thought it was on me just for the sake of annoying me" I replied back sarcastically as I went back to chewing it off.
"Black stop your teeth will break before you get it off" Hesh said as he jumped on the couch with me. "Besides I got a fun idea" Hesh said with a smirk.
"What's that" I asked the rodent.
"This" Hesh said as he pulled out permanent marker. Hesh then tackled me onto the couch and sat on top of me so I couldn't get up easily.
"Get your fat ass off me" I yelled in frustration as I struggled against him. Hesh just laughed as he drew on my cast with the marker. "I said get off" I yelled as I forced myself up and the pikachu fell off of me and onto the floor. I held up my cast and observed the art work he drew on my cast.
"You got to be kidding me" I growled at him. On the cast was a bunch of poorly drawn flowers and stars and he wrote some words on it. Since I was illiterate I had no idea what it said.
"What does this say" I yelled at Hesh as everyone laughed at the girly art he drew on my cast. Hesh fell over laughing harder than anyone else. "What does it say" I screamed at him in anger.
"It says-" Hesh began to say before he bursted out laughing again. "It says forever single" Hesh said as he lost it and began laughing so hard he was in tears. I then remembered back to that comment I made right before Alex put me in my pokeball a couple days ago.
"I knew you'd bring that up one day" I said as I tried to keep my cool and not kill the rat. Everyone looked rather amused but I seriously think Hesh is about to die from laughing.
"Okay Hesh it's not that funny" I yelled at the rodent.
Flare then decided to open his stupid mouth "Actually it kind of is since your going to have to wear that for three weeks and everyone is going to read that". Sadly that was true and every time I look at my arm I was going to have to remember that and the fact that my friend is a total douche.
I didn't reply to anyone and I just jumped back up on the couch and started chewing on my cast with even more ambition. After around ten minutes of munching on it I got tired and gave up on it for a bit. Everyone was back to being lazy just as I was. Flare and Kana were the only two really talking, Hesh and Ebony where mostly quiet and trying to sleep.
I don't know how long it took but I fell asleep on the couch. I could see why Gray always hogged this thing it was awesome. Eventually I did wake up when Alex and his dad where walking through the door. I looked over and saw them along with Gray who wore an angry look in his eyes.
'Sweet mew this asshole is back' I thought to myself.
Gray shot me a quick glance and he just lied down in a corner and he shut his eyes. The room felt awkwardly quiet now and I felt a rather cold and dark presence coming from Gray. As much as I wanted to cuss him out for earlier I didn't really think that was a good idea at the moment.
"Black what is that on your cast" Alex said in surprise as he walked over towards me and grabbed my injured arm and looked at it. My jaw dropped as I saw the new details that were added on it. My glance instantly shot over towards the only pikachu responsible. He had to of done it when I fell asleep for that brief period.
"Forever single" Alex read off my cast in a confused voice "What's that supposed to mean?" Alex was very confused by all the inappropriate drawings on my cast. Swastikas, pentagrams and some other inappropriate things I won't mention.
"Black what the hell is this" Alex said as he looked at the cast with a baffled look.
"Hesh what the hell" I yelled at the pikachu.
"Sorry but I couldn't resist" Hesh said as he scratched his head nervously. So this made everything better, not only did I have a big bulky cast on my arm but I have one that was decorated by a complete idiot with crappy art skills.
Chapter End
Author Note: Well nothing may have really happened on Blacks end of this chapter but I still thought it was rather amusing to write. If any of you ever broke a arm like I have you'd know that its no fun. I do remember when I had a cast we'd doodle all over it, I know today if I let my friends draw on it their would be a lot of profane stuff on it that would not be acceptable lol.
Anyways I'm going to leave this here and I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. So till next time!
