Chapter 3- Found
Violet awoke with a start, nervously unaware that she had fallen asleep. Lux, however had kept her safe, and was still running through the forest.
"Are awake?"
"Yes...you sound different…"
"Lux doesn't understand?" Violet sighed and rubbed her eyes. Suddenly a loud screech cut through the air. Shinx and Lux's ears went flat. A group of pokemon surrounded them. Fast Dodrio, Rapidash,Tauros pushed through the trees with Houndoom, Manectric and Purugly at their heels. Larger, slower pokemon like Mamoswine,Donphamp,Aggron and Tyranitar stomped in the distance. In the air, all kinds if flying pokemons landed in the trees. Skarmory,Fearow, Honchkrow among other things stared down at them, whispers of 'traitor' and 'kill' echoing around. Violet could see humanoid pokemon riding some of the fast pokemon. From the ground, two Mawile and a Scizor stepped forwards, met by a Pidgeot. Lux dropped SHinx and Violet on the ground.
"Give human"
"No. Bring."
"Quiet traitor!" One of the Mawiles shouted, gripping Lux with its mouth. It tossed it's head, throwing Lux into a tree. He cried out and tried to stand with a whine. The pidgeot stepped towards me.
"N-no!"
"Stupid thing, come here!" It muttered to itself.
"I'm not stupid, i'm not going with you!" She cried out. The pidgeot seemed confused, it didn't know that Violet could understand.
"You hear?" She nodded. The pidgeot thrust it's head into the air.
"Can hear, bring home. Give trial." It shouted, glaring at those who protested. "Leader!"
The mawile began to sing, causing Violet to grow dizzy and collapse. Within seconds, she had fallen asleep, leaving Lux and Shinx as she was carried off. She awoke, for the second time that day, not to the gentle shakes of riding, but to being tossed to the ground. She opened her eyes to find that she was at a clearing, surrounded by large rocks. Pokemon of all sorts were marching around, some guarding a small cave entrance, some watching her. She didn't get long to look around, before she was forced to her feet by a Blaziken.
"Move." Violet didn't have choice. If she slowed or even opened her mouth, the grip on her shoulder grew hot and began to burn. They headed towards a large hut. Inside, few pokemon were around. A large blastoise sat in an ring in the back of hut. A zorua was there facing away from her. It's ears were flat, and it looked terrified. A booming voice was coming from the blastoise.
"You stole! Admit it! Little thief, you horrid little orphan!" The blastoise laughed.
"N-no! I d-d-didn't! I w-wouldn't! It wasn't me!" The poor thing begged.
"Just admit it! Do you really want to be punished again?"
"N-no please!" The blastoise lowered a cannon at the zorua, readying to shoot. Violet couldn't take it. She ran and leapt into the ring, stumbling a little.
"S-stop! She said she didn't do it! So don't hurt her!" The blastoise growled and took a step forwards.
"Little human, how dare you speak our tongue! I will kill you!" he grabbed her and tossed her onto her side. She gasped for breath and tried to stop her spinning head. Her gaze calmed, to see the slow blastoise lower both of its cannons at her. She could barely move or breath, no escape from the blast of water. In school they were taught about pokemon, about the most dangerous ones, about the weakest ones. Blastoise's water could kill. One of them at half power would rip a limb off. And now...now there were two, lowered at her, ready to shoot full blast. She was doomed. She was scared, why wouldn't she be. Somewhere in her mind, she knew she was too young to die. She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve any of this. Why did the pokemon hate her? She was human, but she could understand them. She knew what they said. She wanted to help them. Why did her people hate her? She was a child, barely 9. Her parents had tried to kill her, she was so young. She was too young. The blastoise shouted at her, and out came the water, the jets of water, that would kill her. She sighed and opened her mouth to speak a shaky sentence.
"I don't wanna die...I wanna go home…" VIolet closed her eyes, waiting for the blast to hit her, to rip her apart. But it never did. She opened her eyes to see the stream had stopped, a look of pure shock and terror on the blastoise's face. He was glowing purple slightly, but he whimpered, collapsing to ground, the light vanishing.
"h-how long were you th-there…" He mumbled.
"I saw her arrival and your beating. I thought I made my orders clear. I thought you were an intelligent, good leader. I can no longer trust you. I was wrong." A voice echoed. Violet couldn't see the owner, her vision was getting blurry. She slid into unconsciousness, the sight of the purple-gray feet approaching her.
