The room was really dark; Missy couldn't see anything, except the four cages. She was backed up against the cage, closing her eyes, and wishing that this wasn't real. She laid her head down, her hands/paws on top of her head, and she whispered to herself slowly.
"This isn't real… just a dream…"
"Heh heh, looks like we have another one." She heard a murmur in the darkness.
"Shh, Blake. She's scared." She heard another voice.
"Soon, there's going to be more and more of us. Who knows how long we'll be here." That first voice said.
Missy lifted her head up, looking at, coming up to the bars of the cage. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Yeah, there are more like you in here," The second voice said. It was a girl's voice. "You're not the only one. These people, Team Rocket, have been doing this for a whole month now. I was the first one in this little room."
Missy soon saw an image appear in front of her in another cage. A little Chikorita said, coming into view. It had a worried look on its face.
"I know how you feel. I felt it; everyone else in this room has felt it, too. Scared you must be."
Missy nodded, as she saw other figures come into view. She saw a Houndour, a Hariyama, and a Luxray, and a Togekiss. She wondered what they all must've endured, being in this horrible place.
"My name's Alisha," Said the Chikorita. "The Hariyama is Rick, the Houndour is Chad, the Togekiss is Mary, and the Luxray is Blake." Alisha introduced everyone.
Missy felt brave enough to tell them her name. "Mine's Missy," She said, slowly and low. "What are your stories?" She asked, daring to ask.
Alisha nodded. "I'll go first." She said, and took a deep breath. "I was on my way to school; my best friend was with me and she had her Chikorita with her. Well, my friend went to get a drink from a vending machine, leaving me and Chikorita to talk. Well, all of a sudden, I see a huge net that electrocuted me and Chikorita, then waking up in this place, and being bitten by Chikorita, and you know the rest." She said, slowly. "It's practically the same with everyone else."
Missy looked down. "Mines the same. I was going to be a scientist…but I guess that's done and over with."
Rick, the Hariyama, was thinking about Missy, and what she said about becoming a scientist. "Hey, if you're going to be a scientist, then maybe you can help us out of here."
Missy looked up at Rick, trying to comprehend what he was saying. After a few minutes, she finally got it. "Your right, I think I might know a way. But… I don't know how to pull it off."
"Well, go on with it." Blake said, rather rudely, and receiving a look from Alisha.
"Well, if we could somehow use the Pokemon abilities that our Pokemon selves know, we can use them to break the bars. But, I don't know how to really do that."
"It's worth a shot." Mary said.
"I agree," Chad said, sitting down.
"Maybe, if we could concentrate long enough on using an attack, we could pull it off." Missy suggested. "Chad, you could use a fire move to burn the bars, and I could use a water attack to cool them off. Then all we have to do is push against the bars with enough strength and break them."
"I think it'll work." Rick said.
"I think it's a hunk of bologna." Blake said.
"Let's give it a shot!" Mary said.
"Try it out, Chad." Alisha said.
Chad nodded, closed his eyes, and tried to focus really hard on using a flamethrower attack. He concentrated, harder, harder, until he could feel fire coming out from inside him, out his mouth, and burned the bars. He looked up, seeing the bars turn a bright red color, and a smile escaped his puppy looks.
Missy smiled, and nodded. "Ok, this'll work!"
