Chapter 52: Training

Point of View Nia

My eyes slowly opened as I tried to recall what happened. I was lying on the cold ground and my stomach ached. I scanned the area with my tired eyes and I noticed I was still on the street where I was when I got assaulted. It was now night and everything around me was cold. I slowly rolled onto my belly and carefully stood up. The muscles in my stomach were not cooperating and it felt as if my stomach was a fragile as glass.

Once I struggled onto my feet I noticed something smelled bad and the side of my face felt sticky and dried up. I ran my paw through the fur on my head and I felt the sticky substance on my face. I quickly brushed it off as I realized what it was. It was the vomit I fell in when I got punched fifty-million times in the stomach and threw up. The thought of me lying in that pile of puke was really unsettling and nasty.

Once I finished wiping the nasty substance off my face I noticed the giant glass shard still stuck in my head from when that geodude threw that bottle at me. I probed it a few times with my paw but I stopped messing with it since I had no way of pulling it out and I was only making it worse.

I slowly began limping down the streets trying my hardest not to upset my stomach. Every time I took a step my stomach pulsed with pain. I was so tempted to just fall down and pass out again. So here I am again with no game plan and helpless. My only source of medicine was now gone and my time is running out to get my next dosage before it's too late.

I guess I'll have to go and get it from that group of pokemon. I did go back and looked for medicine but they took it for whatever purpose they'd have for it. The only problem is that I doubted that they'd just give it back to me and Mew knows I'm in no shape to take it by force. The worst part is that I don't have time to heal. My best bet would just be to ask and persuade them or something like that.

I continued to walk down the empty streets of Cyllage city without anywhere to sleep for the night, but in the end it didn't really matter to me since I am a nocturnal creature and I lived for the night.

Point of View Hesh

It was now early in the morning and Alex was forcing us all to get up so we could begin our daily training session. Everyone was yawning and trying their hardest to keep their eyes open. What I'd do for some coffee that those humans drank so much.

"Alright is everyone ready" Alex said in an excited voice. Everyone gave tired nods towards the pokemon trainer that had way too much energy for this time in the morning. Everyone followed Alex outside the door. Today Alex's dad was accompanying us on our training, I just hope Alex doesn't try and impress him or anything.

I looked over towards Black who was walking on three of his paws and holding his injured paw up. Lucky bastard doesn't have to do anything except sit there and sleep all day while we work tirelessly. I'll have to add some new designs on his cast to accommodate for that.

After a very long walk we finally made it to the park where we trained yesterday for like ten minutes before Black broke his arm. We were here even earlier than yesterday and the sun was barely even out at this point. No living creature should be forced to wake up this early.

"This is a drag" I said to myself.

"Alright is everyone here ready to begin" Alex asked us. Everyone nodded yes to the question.

"Okay I want everyone to take a warm up lap around the park to get the blood flowing, after that you should all be wide awake" Alex said in his peppy voice.

"And let me guess your going to sit there and watch us the whole time" I said in annoyance.

"Alright everyone get ready" Alex said despite my solid point.

"And go" Alex commanded and we all began running. Gray took the lead ahead of everyone with impressive speed. Flare and I weren't running our best but instead ran side by side. Ebony on the other hand lingered behind us a little and I had to check back on her every minute to make sure she was still breathing. Kana started off rather slow but within seconds the jolteon sprinted past Gray with little effort. That jolteon's speed is almost unbeatable and I've never seen a pokemon run that fast. Although I bet she will run out of breath in the next minute or so and she'll have to crawl the rest of the way.

"She's fast" I exclaimed as she continued to keep her pace without any sign of slowing down.

"She's a jolteon what'd you expect" Flare said.

"I know that but even for a jolteon that's fast" I pointed out as my I jogged at a steady pace. I looked over back towards Alex and Saw him and his dad talking about something. Under a tree in the shade Black was curled up in a ball sleeping. Wish Gray would break my arm so I could lie around and do nothing.

After ten minutes of nonstop jogging we finally completed the lap. The muscles in my legs where now tensing up a little due to me being a little out of shape lately. Flare looked like he was doing a little better than me but he was still tired. Gray looked a unfazed along with Kana. I had no idea how she could run that much without tiring herself out.

"Good work everyone" Alex said in a happy voice.

"Now we can begin our next training exorcise" Alex said with a smile on his face.

Point of View Aiden

"Finally got some time away from that bitchy trainer" I said out loud to myself as I walked down the streets of Cyllage city alone. Ever since I got caught by that women life has just been miserable. She nags me; tries to train me and worst of all she expects me to travel the world with her. What a load of crap. I continued to walk down the streets of Cyllage as I tried not to get stepped on by the humans around me.

"Charmander" I heard a voice call out from behind me. I stopped walking and I curiously turned around to see who was talking to me. Behind me I saw a white umbreon with black rings on his body and blue eyes. The umbreon stared at me with cold eyes and made me feel very uneasy.

"Who are you" I asked the umbreon.

"Follow me someone wants to have a little talk" the umbreon said.

"Who" I asked the umbreon. I wasn't sure if I should comply or run like hell before something bad happened.

"Don't ask questions just follow me. Nothing will happen as long as you listen to me" the umbreon said as his eyes grew colder.

"How do I know your not just going to kill me or something" I asked the umbreon in a untrusting tone.

"Because if we wanted to kill you we would have done it in your sleep" He replied.

I wasn't sure who this umbreon was or what he wanted from me but at the same time I was rather curious. I guess I'm a tough guy so if he tried anything I'd just show him how badass I really am. "Fine I'll follow you but if your lying I'll kick your ass" I said in a tough guy voice.

The umbreon didn't even look fazed by my comment and he just started walking off. I followed behind him as I watched his every movement and made sure he had nothing planned. After ten minutes of quietly walking down the street the umbreon turned down an alley. I froze before I followed him in the alley. Was this a good idea and am I going to get mugged in here?

"You coming" the white umbreon asked. I shook my head really fast to help myself snap out of the fear and I walked into the alley. I looked around catiously to make sure no one was hiding or anything but once I reached the end of the alley we were behind some buildings.

"Okay what the hell do you want from me" I yelled at the white umbreon.

"Long time no see Aiden" a familiar voice called out. Out of the shadows of another alley came another white pokemon except this one was a espeon with red eyes, Kind of ironic that the two matched and only had opposite eye colors.

"Vincent" I growled at the espeon "What do you want?"

"I was passing by Cyllage and I knew you were here so I figured I'd get a report on your job" the espeon said. He was talking friendly almost as if we were friends but I knew it was fake, this espeon was a liar and I wouldn't expect anything good to come from him.

"I'm only just meeting up with him honestly" I admitted in a nervous voice fearing the worst.

"Does he trust you and don't lie I can tell when your lying or hiding something" the espeon said.

"No he's very hostile and I tried acting like I'd help him find you and all but that only made him angry and he threatened to kill me" I said as I remembered back to the psychotic umbreon.

"I see, tick tock Aiden. Don't think I won't kill your trainer if you don't do what I want" Vincent threatened.

"I'm working on it but he's different. I don't even know anything about him other than the sickt wisted shit you've done to him" I yelled at the espeon.

"I don't know my brother anymore. He has undergone a lot of changes over the two years and he is a completely different pokemon" Vincent said.

"I'll find a way just give me some time!"

"I'm sure you will, but remember whose side your on. When the time comes we may need you" Vincent said as he began to turn around and walk away from me. "I'll be back another day, just remembers the mission" Vincent said as his umbreon friend followed him.

After the two were out of sight I instantly turned around and began running. I had no idea where I was running but I just wanted to be somewhere public, somewhere where I couldn't be harmed.

Point of View Black

I sat under a tree which shaded me from the sun's harmful rays. It was pretty comfortable here since it wasn't blazing hot and I was safe from heat stroke or something like that. Everyone else was doing their own kind of training exercises. Most of them varied from stuff like dodging attack to blocking stuff or even accuracy with ranged attacks. It looked really tiring and I was in no mood today to run around and impress my trainer with my awesome moves.

Although lying here all day was rather boring. I wonder what Alex had planned for us after the training. Maybe a delicious dinner or something fun besides sitting in a boring hotel room all night.

"Hey I've been looking for you" A angry feminine voice called out. I slowly looked over nervous to see who I knew was there. Standing before me now was the bitchy umbreon known as Nia who couldn't just be thankful I saved her ass. She looked like a mess compared to last time I saw her, she had a giant glass shard sticking out of her head and all the fur on the right side of her face looked dried up and dirty.

"You" I said in surprise "What do you want."

"Where is your fennekin and pikachu friend" the umbreon said in a pissed off voice.

"What do you want from them" I asked nervously knowing that I could set off her temper problem.

"Doesn't concern you, all you need to know is that they fucked with the wrong umbreon" she growled at me.

'Yes they did mess with the wrong umbreon' I thought to myself as I pictured they're death by this umbreon's hands. Maybe Gray's racism problem would save the day and scare her off. Although that jolteon imposter told me to learn dark matter based attacks from her.

"Alright everyone time for a break" Alex yelled out and instantly got everyone's attention. Everyone came running back from their training. The instant Hesh and Flare got back there jaws dropped at the sight of Nia being back.

"I've been looking for you two" she growled as she slowly walked towards them with a limp as if she was in pain.

"So you came crawling back huh" Hesh said as he crossed his arms.

"Where is it" Nia yelled at the pikachu as she limped closer to him.

"Hey are you okay you look awful" Flare asked as he observed her.

"Listen I need those medications back I'm already late on my dosage" Nia said.

"Those aren't medications those are illegal drugs" Hesh accused her.

"No those are third party medications" Nia retorted.

"Call them what you want I'm not giving them back unless you tell us what we want to know" Hesh demanded as he showed a sly smile.

"Tell you what" Nia yelled at him in anger. Everyone was now watching Nia make a huge scene. I was very curious on what I all missed while I was gone and those three were alone.

"About the pokemon that are after us" Hesh said in a serious voice and everyone who was still oblivious to the situation looked at us with a serious glare.

"It's none of your business" Nia growled.

"Well I'll just poor all your drugs down the sink then and we will never speak again" Hesh said.

"Do it and I'll rip your throat out" Nia said in a dark tone.

"So do we have a deal, your medications for some info, I think it's a pretty fair exchange" Hesh proposed.

Nia sat their growling for a few seconds as everyone watched the debate go on. "Fine" Nia muttered "But I'm not giving up any of my personal info and the moment you try and dig into my business I'm done."

"Agreed" Hesh said with a smirk on his face "We can't trade here so wait until were done training or meet me behind the hotel we are staying at" Hesh said.

"I'll wait right here and the moment your done you are going to show me that you still have them" Nia said.

"Okay just be patient and I'm sure this will be over in a hour or two" Hesh said as he stretched out his body.

"I'll be waiting" Nia said as she walked over to a tree a few meters away and sat in the shade and waited.

"Do you guy's care to share what's going on" Kana asked in a freaked out voice.

"Yeah what the hell did you mean pokemon after us" Gray asked in a pissed off voice "And why is there another umbreon here I can hardly take one."

"Okay I'll explain on the walk back just please let me get through today" Hesh said in an annoyed voice.

Chapter End

Author Note: Pretty short chapter but I thought it had some good content. This chapter was more just moving things along without doing a random skip through time. So we got to see more of Nia this chapter and more of her hostile personality. I think it makes her interesting and I know she may come off as a person that's hard to get along with. I think it makes things interesting and a lot of lovable characters in shows start off as a hated character. Anyways a lot more happened this chapter that I could talk about but I'm going to shut up now.

I'm curious of what people think of Nia so far and what kind of role you all think she will play? Feel free to share but no problem if you don't.

Thanks to all the readers and everyone who reviews! Yeah yeah I say this every chapter lol so you all know the rest.
