Day 17: -Lyra's P.O.V.-

I felt violated… Proton and Petrel kissed me and groped me all over when no one was looking. At least they didn't stick it up me. Still, I felt so dirty and worried. Would Silver even take me back if I told him they touched me anywhere where they felt like? I sighed, now wasn't the time to be worried though. Cyndaquil was still in the cage, frightened as the day he got here. I planned out my escape routine throughout yesterday. I lucked out when I found some broken glass near me. When they weren't looking I hid it against the wall under the bed in the room we were held captive in. Cyndaquil and I were left alone right now so I can break out quickly. They mentioned something about leaving the base short while to make sure their back up gets here. I grabbed the broken glass and started rubbing it vigorously against the ropes that bind me together.

Cyndaquil looked at me and whimpered. I quickly looked and him, "Shhh… It'll be all right. I just need you to be quiet for a while and I'll help you." He understood me and quieted down to watch what I was doing. After what seemed like forever, I finally was able to rip apart the ropes and gag. I jumped to my feet and quickly made my way to Cyndaquil's cage. The bars were pretty thick since it was meant to confine a fire type pokemon cage. Those assholes probably got the keys, so I just grabbed the whole cage and ran out the door. I was determined to get out of here and get Cyndaquil back to Typhlosion.

I tried to remember the way I got out. Which was pretty damn irritating considering that this place was like a murky, stone maze. I was getting more pissed off by the minute, "Damn this foul container full of water and bedrooms."

I shuddered at the thought of all these bedrooms and what Proton and Petrel do with them. I mentally slapped myself, 'This is no time to be thinking about what Proton and Petrel do in the closets.' I prayed over and over that we would soon find the exit. Or find some sign that we can find out where the exit is.

Wish granted, there came this thunderous explosion that came from somewhere outside. I grunted and landed on my ass as the ground shook from whatever happened. My eyes widened in hope. Cyndaquil began making small noises in anticipation, "It has to be. . .!" I ran in the direction of the now constant explosions and earthquakes. It was Typhlosion's Earthquake and Eruption move! Help was here!

Soon the path began to look familiar. I wasn't able to suppress a large smile that formed onto my face. Silver and Ethan was here!

-Silver's P.O.V.-

Ethan and I are battling with Petrel and Proton. Damn those pedophiles! They fought better than I thought… This is what I get for underestimating my enemies. Even though our Pokémon have their game face on, I can see behind that. They're exhausted. So are Ethan and I, but we're not burning as much energy as they are right now. They're giving it all they got to win and take back Lyra and Cyndaquil.

"Meganium! Tackle them!" Ethan commanded his leafy Pokémon. The large plant-like pokemon charged in Petrel and Proton's direction and crashed right onto them. Before I could swerve my head to look at what the hell Ethan was thinking, he grabbed my arm and dashed off to their base entrance. Without looking at me, he explained "Before you say anything, Meganium will distract them while we search for Lyra. Meganium, Feraligatr, and Typhlosion can fight on their own for a short while."

I couldn't believe this guy… He had that much faith in our pokemon… For so long I've been a hard ass who just kept training them even if they were too tired to fight anymore, until I met Lyra, that is. Even after meeting her, I didn't have that amount of faith in them. I believe in them, but not to that extent. Even now, I feel guilty. They're all holding off until this battle ends. They trust us. I know for sure, Feraligatr and Typhlosion believe I can do it. They have that much faith in me when I didn't have nearly as much for them and they know it. I suddenly realized something and mentally smacked my forehead, 'I really need to stop with these really depressing thoughts. This is not the proper time to be sad-'

Just as I finished that thought, I crashed into something solid with Ethan and we all fell to the floor with a hard thud. I growled in annoyance but stopped as a heard a familiar whine.

"Owww! Silver? Ethan?" I swerved my head to look at Lyra's shocked face. I grabbed her and pulled her into a tight hug. A relieved smile found its way to my face.

"Lyra! You're all right!" Cyndaquil squeaked in happiness and jumped up and down excitedly, giving us a hug. Our happy moment was short lived as Ethan brought us back to reality with his grunt in irritation. We looked down to see him squashed by us.

"As much as I love dramatic lovey-dovey moments, would you PLEASE get off me? You're crushing my ass, Silver." I briefly skimmed at our position. Ethan was lying stomach down on Lyra's lap while I was on my knees on Ethan's ass, hugging her tightly. Cyndaquil was on Ethan's head. I would've commented on the situation, but we were once again reminded of reality. I heard our Pokémon's roar of rage. Lyra gasped.

"You left our pokemon out to fight on their own?" I jumped to my feet and helped her and Ethan up quickly. We ran towards the entrance/exit of the base.

"They're able to hold them off short while!" Feraligatr better have! He's fighting a freaking Koffing and Raticate from Team Rocket for Arceus' sake! I KNOW I trained my Pokemon way better than that!

"That's not the point-" "They'll be fine! Trust us!" We burst out into the opening to see all of the Koffings and the Raticates slowly falling. Our Pokémon had this bad ass game face and were flexing their muscles. Well, Typhlosion and Feraligatr were. Meganium just stood tall with his chin held up high and proud. They deserve to look high and mighty. After all, they managed to take down Team Rocket's Pokémon without their trainers giving them commands. Proton and Petrel... DAMN! They looked PISSED!

"DAMN YOU AND YOUR POKEMON!" Proton was yelling at us as we ran to stand beside our Pokémon. I gave a half smirk. This guy was losing his "Mr. Cool" image. Damn right he better! Only I'M allowed to look like the coolest person ever! They work for MY daddy and I damn well look soo much better than them!

"Who the fuck gave you sugar, Silver?" Ethan narrowed his eyes at me. I shifted my eyes to glare at him back.

"I don't know what the crap you're talking about, Ethan." He rolled his eyes at me and turned to look back at Proton and Petrel.

"I heard that thought, Silver. You were going on in your head about how cool you looked and how they work for your "DADDY"," he snickered at that last word. I growled and my fist twitched. I was THIS close to giving that guy a slap on the face with a white glove.

"Fuck you, brat. We may work for your "daddy" but that doesn't mean we'll go easy on you!" Petrel got into a fighting stance. I brushed off that comment and raised my eyebrow.

'Fist fighting? Wow, this is new.' I bent down into a charging mode with Ethan-and Lyra? Lyra gave us a smirk without taking her eyes off of P & P.

"You know I've gotten into fights myself, Silver. Ethan, you of all people should know that." Ethan smirked back at her.

"Yeah, I was the one who had to put up with all those bloody punches when we were younger." I half grinned at the thought of Ethan losing fights to Lyra. As much as I respect him… somewhat. I couldn't repress that simple joy of his ass being kicked.

"I don't want you to get hurt, Lyra." I sighed. She shook her head.

"I won't. Besides, it'll be all right. It's Proton and Petrel. It's 3 "kids" up against 2 adults. It'll be fair."

I chuckled, 3 against 2? Fair? Whatever, I'm all for this fight. Everyone did their funky battle cries and charged at each other.

Dun dun dun~! I'm back! Or for now I guess. I'm soo sorry for the long wait! School crap and all is making me busy. Now that it's summer, I've been trying to relax. Kinda gonna be hard to update now when school starts up again… Well, I'm just going to enjoy writing for as long as I can. Thanks to anyone if they waited patiently… T-T''' I'm sorry to anyone else if they gave up on it. *Bows extremely low* Gomenasai! It's been forever since I came back on and signed in. So now, I'm kinda lost again. xP I fail. Well, enjoy! :D
