Chapter 2: Den of the Pack

When Jimmy and Susan finally woke up, they were alone in a cave tied together with rope. The cave was big and had room for a lot of the Pokemon type they saw before. The air was cold and they could see their breath.

"Jimmy, I don't think we are going to make it. I don't believe those Pokemon things were friendly." Susan said, her voice quivering with cold and fear. "I just want you to know it was nice working with you.

"Susan, what are you talking about? If the creatures planned to hurt us, they'd have done so by now. Everything is going to be okay." Jimmy replied, fervently hoping so. They heard clomping footsteps. The type of creature they saw before was just entering.

"So, you are awake at last. I hope you ever so enjoy our cave. We wanted to eat you beforehand but the master wanted to talk to you. But fortunately for us, he will ever be so glad to let us eat you if you don't cooperate." The creature hissed in a gravelly voice, jaws snapping in delight. Susan and Jimmy stiffened. A talking Pokemon?

"Wha-What are you?" Susan asked, her voice quaking. The creature below smiled and licked its very sharp fangs.

"You can call us….the Pack. The Pack is strong and mighty. We have been waiting for so long for prey to drop in. So….hungry." The creature licked its fangs again. "You can call me Jeb. I am the Pack leader. The Pack and I are so hungry….at last we have food now. We can't wait to taste you. Are there more of you?"

"We're not t-telling you, you uh….thing! You can kiss my…." Susan started. The creature swiped a paw at her, cutting lines into her face.

"Quiet! Prey does not talk to me like that! If only the master didn't want you for questioning. You sure would taste good." Jeb licked the blood. "So, so good. How long has it been since we last had blood? Too long I say. Now, wait here while I fetch Pack so we could get the interview over and done with. Then, ha ha ha, we have you for dinner." Jeb howled in anticipation as he left Susan and Jimmy.

"I-I'm sorry I got you into this," said Susan sadly. "I just wanted to find the place of the original Pokemon. Well, we have found it."

"Don't be silly, we did it together. I voluntarily went with you. I wouldn't have it any other way. At least we know for sure now. Jimmy consoled.

"Does it matter? We are going to get eaten by the Pack and the only thing that is stopping them from ripping us apart now is the 'master'. I hate to think who or what that is to be able to control these beasts." Susan replied back.

They fell silent as Jeb and the pack came in. In all, there appeared to be around 30 or so of the creatures. Jeb stood up and issued a signal. 2 of the Pack hit a gong and silence insured began the meeting. "Friends, brothers, and sisters, we are here today with some very extraordinary tidings. 2 of those nasty human types have stumbled upon our land. It has been Centuries since humans have walked here. So we are here today to ask these humans some questions, and then, we can eat them!" The Pack cheered and celebrated, all licking their fangs, looking right at Susan and Jimmy. They couldn't wait to have a bite.

"Ari, come up and ask these people some questions son," Jeb growled, holding out a piece of paper. "The master wants these answered. Ari grinned and stepped in front of the tied humans who were by now hanging upside down over a roaring fire.

"Question number 1. Who are you and why are you here?" he read from the sheet of paper. The humans were struggling but they weren't going to go anywhere.

"My name is Jimmy and this is my wife Susan. We are research scientists and we have heard of a forgotten land mass where Pokemon first originated." Jimmy replied.

Ari grinned, showing off fangs. "Well, that's nice. I hope you are going to stay for dinner after the interview. But it's time for the next question. Are there more of your species alive?" he asked, salivating at the thought.

"Yes." Susan replied. There were many more questions and eventually they came to the last question.

"The master feels merciful for reasons I don't understand. He is offering you a deal. Show him the way to your land and do whatever he asks of you and he shall spare your miserable lives. If no, we get to eat you. Which will it be?" Ari asked.

"The answer is……."
