Chapter IV: The True Evil

A week has past since me and my friends "kidnapping". Everyday seemed to be a routine. Wake up in the life of luxury, be pulled out of my resting place to talk to that sociopath, Dominic, return to luxury. It had me questioning how long it was gonna last because no matter what he did, I wouldn't talk. But I came up with some ideas for today. I was going to talk, but only until he gives me everything I want first.

"Hey, there's my best friend! Take a seat, right there."

I stared down at the pathetic excuse of a man before me. I was more of a man than he was, and I'm a Pokemon. With a scoff I sat down as instructed.

"Can I get you anything before we begin?" He asked.

"Yes actually, you can…" I stated.

His grey, unblinking eyes widened at my unexpected response. With a folding of his burly fingers he spoke, "Name it."

"Before I say anything, I want you to do stuff for me. First of all, I want you to find a Floatzel for me."

He appeared quizzical, "Greninja's sister?"

I nodded.

Dominic folded his arms and replied, "Fine… I can do that. Any traits I should look out for?"

"Yes, she has a bow shaped birth mark above her left eye. Next…"

"Look… Here's the deal, bro. I'm doing one favor at a time here. Not that I don't trust you, because I'm sure you're a man of your word, but I need some assurance here. We'll discuss more favors for each other after you've told me just a smidge of information. But if you tell me all about Mewtwo right here, right now then I'll give you everything you want and more."

It was at that moment that I realized something… why am I even protecting Mewtwo in the first place? For all I know he could be the bad guy… Maybe Team Alpha is good and they're really against Team Plasma. I haven't seen them commit a crime except…

Killing Sir Greninja's mother, kidnapping us, holding us hostage…

Well, there are those crimes. But then again? Are they really kidnapping us? We're living in a luxury apartment, underground where Team Plasma has no access to me, Sir Greninja, or Buniot.

"So… You gonna talk or what?" Dominic asked, getting impatient with my pondering.

I shook my head, "Sorry… I was thinking. Anyways, I'm not talking until you've found her. And once you've found her, Me, Sir Greninja, and Buniot are all going with you to see her. After that, I'll tell you what I know."

"And how can I be so sure you'll keep your word?" Dominic inquired as he ran a hand through his shirt, brown hair.

"You don't… But you keep your word, I'll keep mine."

Dominic couldn't help but laugh heartily at my response.

"Kid, one things for sure… I like you. You've got some serious heart talking to me like that. Fine. I'll find that Floatzel for ya. But you had better talk."

I grinned smugly at him.

Maybe this is where things start to actually get better for me, for once?

"That'll be all. You know where your room is, I'll talk to you later."

My eyes widened, "Wait… You're not gonna have someone escort me to my room?"

He waved his hand, "Nah… You'll be fine. Just don't run off, okay?"

Feeling a bit insecure, I nodded.

It has to be a trap of some sort.

"Okay then…" I muttered as I hopped down from the office chair.

I made way for the exit and noticed there was no way I could turn the door handle with my paws.

"Umm… Can you uhh…" I urged.

Before I knew it he was at the door, holding it open with a suspicious grin.

"Sorry about that. If you wanna take a walk around that's fine just be back in your room before it gets too late. Traffic at night is crazy here. Heheh."

I nodded once more and exited Dominic's office. The door closed behind me and I couldn't help but shudder.

I was expecting a grunt to just appear out of nowhere if I waited long enough, but every one at seemed to walk by just… Well… Walked by.

I shook my head and started walking along the steel balcony, looking down at the factory below me. Watching as forklifts carried large crates with Pokeballs, the occasional large cage, and other pieces of equipment across the factory.

"What the hell are they doing here?"

It still had me thinking exactly what this groups purpose was. I mean… They seemed to be just like Team Plasma, but I didn't see any captured humans or Pokemon for that matter. It was almost like they were the good guy.

But Dominic wants Mewtwo. Why?

I always suggested it would be because of his powers but he can't be that strong can he? Mewtwo wasn't telling me something and I though it would be only fair if he told me.

"Damian…" his voice appeared.

I looked up at the heavens prepared to reply.

"Do not speak with an open mouth, they can hear you. Speak using your mind," he stopped me.

I nodded, "I need answers, Mewtwo."

"I can see that. You seem troubled about something so let me help you. What is it you wish to know?"

"First I want to know what makes these people so bad… I mean I was against it at first but I'm really starting to think these guys aren't as bad as you claim they-"

"They are much worse than Team Plasma, Damian. I cannot begin to tell you the horrors of this group," he stated.

"Well you better start because I'm having second thought's that you just might be the bad guy here," I scowled.

Mewtwo audibly sighed in my mind, "You want to know what they've done? Fine. But don't accuse me of being the one in the wrong here, Damian!"

"Hey, don't yell at me for seeing things as they are! You haven't told me jack shit since I've been in this mess! You haven't even given me the escape plan yet!"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about after your concerns. Now calm down before you make a scene! Go back to your room and meet up with Sir Greninja and Buniot. Today is the day you escape."

My eyes widened, in which I replied out loud, "Wait… What?"

"Notice how he's letting you roam the facility alone? This is no trap, Team Alpha has run into some trouble elsewhere. I'll explain everything on your way to-"

"No…" I stated.

There was a slight pause from him, "Excuse me?"

"This might be our only chance to find Sir Greninja's sister… To be safe… To get everything I've wanted for the past year…"

"Damian! Don't do this, now! You'll be making a terrible mistake."

"The only mistake I've made this was listening to you. I'm telling him where you are…"

"Good luck with that, Damian! Because last I checked you don't even know where I am. Ergh… I don't even know what I saw in you! You're just some stupid kid with a massive ego. To think you could have helped me. Have fun rotting in that place."

I growled, "You know what? SCREW YOU! I don't need you. And for your information all he has to do is go into my head and find out where you are right now."

"Suit yourself… Just don't say I told you so."

As it became silent I yelled, "BASTARD!"

With heaving breaths I pounded on the bars of the balcony, denting them inwards with little to no effort.

I couldn't help but notice the humans and Pokemon staring at me for my outburst. As I looked down at them and sighed they resumed their business.

I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder, "Something on your mind? Or… Someone?"

I sighed, "Yeah… It was Mewtwo. Dominic, I have some things I'd like to talk to you about if you get the chance."

I looked up to make eye contact, in which he grinned and said, "I have all the time in the world."
