Valerie's P.O.V. - ?

I walked in the darkness. My eyes uncontrollably twitched and I shivered as I looked around. The area was all made of nothing, Just darkness "Afraid of the darkness? The darkness is everywhere. Eating at you and feeding on your fear. You can't escape Valval. It was meant to be this way." The voice ripped through the darkness like a sword through skin.

My pace increased as I felt the darkness closing in on me. "Five minutes Val. Five minutes-minute-minu-min-m… " The whisper echoed through my ears and fear began to take me. I looked at my fur which had completely faded into a deep dark gray that made me shiver even more.

I began to dash through the darkness of death. Death trying to take me. "Four minutes… Valerie." I ran faster until I was sprinting. The darkness was very uninviting. I didn't get far until I got tired and started to just walk. It was more than the running that drained me.

"Let's be friends for all eternity. You've always been one of us." The draining feeling was stronger than ever as I forced myself to move."One minute." The voice hissed and I collapsed to the ground. I had to move or it might be the end. I began to drag myself across the ground as I began to feel empty inside.

"Ten seconds." It said and I saw her. Vixie was inches away from me. I reached for her but just as I did so she smiled. The smile wasn't happy or joyful. It was forced by the darkness. She began to shrivel and melt. Despair filled my head as laughing filled my ears. "Too late." the voice said as darkness filled me up. Death slowly took me and the laugh got louder and louder.

"Why!" Valerie yelled as reality took her again. It was silent on the truck and everyone stared in her box's direction. "Are you okay?" The pokemon who obsessed over shapes asked. "What?" Val asked as a reply "Dude you were just acting very strange." He said with a concerned look on his face.

Val felt weird. she looked down and saw that her fur had slightly faded. "Crap." she said when she noticed that they were no longer on the truck. They were being moved into this thing. It was a weird looking machine that made her feel weird. She started to shiver when she thought about the Daymare she had just had.

"How could a stupid dream make me fear so much?" Valerie asked herself as her cage was placed down beside another.

"Yo! Hey! Dude! Over here! You!" An annoying thing kept calling to her. "Hey! Heeey! Hey! Du-!"

Valerie finally broke. "What! What could you possibly want?!" She yelled at it. "Do you wanna be friends?" It looked at her and she looked back. The pokemon was tiny. It was the smallest pokemon Valerie had met.

"I could be a great help because of my static charge." The thing said cheerfully. All of the pokemon were now lined up on the walls of the human made contraption. Valerie studied the mystery pokemon slowly. It was white with a blue stripe running down its back to the tip of its tail and its ears were also blue. It had one yellow circle on each cheek and a big tooth. It didn't seem at all intimidating.

"Well… fine. We can be friends but don't get on my nerves." Valerie said knowing the pokemon might immediately die when it got in the cave. As soon as Valerie her finished her sentence the thing exploded with happiness. "Yay! We can be friends!We can be friends!We can be friends!"

It hopped around it's cage happily. Valerie immediately believed that she had made a horrible mistake.

After a few minutes of celebration later the pachirisu finally stopped to speak to Valerie. "My name is Sue. Whats your name?" Sue smiled brightly whenever she finished a sentence. "My name is Valerie. I'm a vulpix." Sue looked confused for a second "What am I?" she said but suddenly the thing they were in started. Valerie felt the feeling of the ground being left behind as the vehicle that they were in rose.

There was no access to windows in the thing but Val had a feeling that they were going sky high. Sue, completely ignoring the change, started to wonder how she didn't know what she was. When she got bored she finally curled up on her tail and began to sleep.

Sue seemed to not care much about any dangers and probably was mentally unstable. Valerie began to think about back at home. "Why did the humans take us from our land? Will they take it and use it as their own? Why do we have to be dumped in the cave and why do the humans show less care about us than the ghost types? I guess I might not get the chance to find out about that."

Valerie started to just want to rest and lay down in the small place to rest. She slowly started to fall asleep even after her last dream. She felt a draining tiredness as she fell asleep. She didn't care anymore. All that she cared is that she woke up. She would make a plan from then.

"Valerie. Wake up!" Valerie looked around and jumped when all she saw was Sue. "How did you get out!?" She nearly shouted. "I could've got out this whole time." She whispered. Everyone was fast asleep except for Sue and Valerie. "Why didn't you escape earlier?" Val asked. "I didn't wanna go." she replied and Val face pawed.

"Well i'm kinda glad you didn't go early." Val whispered "Why?" Sue asked with her overly cheerful voice. "I have a plan. A plan that will make other plans run crying. My plan will be so good that it will not possibly fail. It will be the best. We will prevail. We will be free!" Valerie couldn't help yelling her last sentence.

"But I don't und-" "Just go back to sleep because this will be amazing." Valerie interrupted as she sat thinking of all the ways to safely escape. As she thought she began to smash ideas together and came up with the perfect plan. "Sue." Val whispered "What?" Sue replied and Valerie was ready to spread the plan "I have an idea."

Back to the runners

The few had snuck to a certain unfamiliar place that seemed new to the group as a whole. As they snuck past a few humans they heard them say random stuff like. "Y'know. My emolga really wants to shock your dedenne." One said to the other. " … What?" the other replied. The akward moment was enough to make anyone want to leave faster.

"I sure hope that no one finds us here." Vixie said as they slowed down a little. She looked back and saw that the akward people had no idea that they had passed by. "We probably should go to the nearest exit and find one of my friends." E said with her pokerface pasted back on where that creepy smile was minutes ago.

"How many friends do you have?" Vixie asked. "More than most evil pokemon have." Jax said as they all spotted a ranger that was looking for them. "It's funny how the the brain doesn't register the second 'the'." He read out loud on a poster. "Wow! I actually didn't notice the second the there. Fascinating."

"I think that we can get past him if we… " Vix didn't really know what to do. "We could break his neck and anyone's who witnesses it." E said interrupting Vix's thoughts. "No. We can't just kill whoever we want E." "Why not? They're just humans." E replied. "Killing them is stepping down to their level. If you want to follow that path, so be it."

E started to silently wonder. "Psh. I'm actually way below the human's level. But that is something for only time to explain. Time and of course, a lot of pain and misery." E began to smile again. "And just to add to that, some deadly spirits."

E snapped out of her mental happy place and began to follow her friends. The team now were in the alleyways and it was dark there. "I think I remember this place. This is where I was found by my current owner." Jax said quietly They reached a dead end and turned around only to find some pokemon staring at them.

"Remember me J." One of the voices boomed through the alley. "Wait a sec… Hank?"

Jax stepped back when he noticed the pokemon. It was a probably four foot tall houndoom. and it was on all fours! Just imagine it's height if it stood like a human. The houndoom looked old and very experienced at battling. He had a huge scar on his face that marked a past injury.

"It's been a while you little fuzzball." He said with a friendly look. "A friend of yours?" Vixie asked Jax. "More than a friend. he's my mentor." Jax said as they looked at the probably very old pokemon. "Well i'm glad to see that my apprentice is doing well. What brings you here?" And that is when the team get a hopeful message from Hank.
