A/N: After a long wait, here is chapter six. Sorry for all those who have waited with so much patience.

Chapter 6

Paul made his way out of a dark cave. He sighed as he glared at his spear, he wasn't really pleased with the weapon, but at least it was usable. The tracking device, which he claimed after murdering Tracey was worthy of use. The morning was still young and the air was still fresh and the smell of blood had attracted him to kill. He had a plan, to murder all the guys, and allow the girls to slaughter the girls. He was looking for one fatal female, to be his partner of crime.

Paul had a very good idea who this fatal female should be. He noticed Cynthia, who was a champion was also in the game as well. He was mainly looking for her and he wasn't surprised she was still alive. The grass and trees reminded him of his Pokemon journey, they were still the same as before. This was just another adventure and another experience. A fight to the death, it was a challenge that was far too great to ignore.

The scenery was beautiful and so was the way that Cynthia battled. He very much enjoyed that battle with Cynthia months ago. What a pure coincidence, that he spotted a tall blonde girl in black walk around the forest being stalked by Lance, who was also a champion. Lance was famous for using dragons and he had it in the family as well. This was going to be very interesting.

"Cynthia!" Lance cried out with a sad expression on his face. "Why did leave Marina and Jimmy behind?" The blonde stopped as her small eyes faced Lance. "They could have died. We're here to stop the game and make sure everyone survives."

"Jimmy and Cynthia were late," she muttered. "So they were left behind."

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Lance snapped in an angry tone. "They might have been killed in that danger zone now!"

"Not my problem." Cynthia replied as started walking again. Paul crept inside the bushes as he clutched his spear. His eyes were on that flashy silver gun, that the cops usually used. He wanted that gun, it was much better then a useless old spear. "Only one boy and one girl and survive, remember!"

"I don't wish to kill you!" Lance announced with eyes of sadness. "Please Cynthia, why do you have to be so cold."

"That's how I became Champion." Cynthia announced. Lance had a feeling that she didn't really mean it, either that or she had betrayed him the whole time. He used to think that Cynthia was a great caring lady and a talented trainer, but he was wrong, he had been deceived. He felt that Cynthia was a cold-hearted woman who didn't care as long as she reached for the top. It was such a shame.

Lance had no idea weather to reach out for the gun or not. He had no intention of using it at all, however he felt a sudden urge to need this bullet. Cynthia was now potentially dangerous and he wanted to save the trainers and make sure they escaped the game unharmed. He sighed and closed his eyes, as his fingers were just about to touch the gun. He didn't wish for anyone to die, but unfortunately, he couldn't control his instinct. "I can't do it," he whispered in bitterness.

Paul watched as Cynthia stepped closer to Lance. She smiled as she kissed his cheek; she then claimed the gun from out of his pocket. Lance grabbed onto her hand as he attempted to get the gun of her. "I see you're useless without your pokemon." Cynthia added. Lance stepped back as he felt to frozen to move his body. She appeared so laid back, it was unbelievable. She aimed the gun at Lance's heart and pulled the trigger.

The bullet created a quick aim at Lance's leg as he fell down onto the murky floor. The healthy leg was also shot, as were both of his arms, one at a time. She smiled as she saw Lance open his eyes and watched his angry face and gritting teeth full of sheer anger. She thought the expression was very beautiful. She could have just killed him off straight away, but that wouldn't be any fun at all.

The pair of them were glaring at each other as fresh blood escaped from the birth of Lance's wounds. "I'll give you a tip for surviving Battle Royale." Cynthia told him. "Don't be afraid to take a life. You I'm looking for a man to survive with, I'm sorry that guy is not you!" She pulled the trigger one last time, as the final bullet had reached the target of Lance's heart. Lance had finally closed his eyes and his movements had died with him.

Paul smirked as he decided that Cynthia was defiantly the one, the one he wanted to be paired up with. She would be a great partner for this game. He was hoping that he was good enough for her. He was tempted to just jump out the bush and greet her, but just in case he ended up dead, he decided that was not a sensible option. He watched as Cynthia's back had faced Paul, so that gave him a feeling that he wasn't caught.

"OK Paul," Cynthia announced. "You can jump out of the bush!"

Paul dropped his jaw in shock as he jumped out of the bush and was face to face with the Sinnoh Champion, Cynthia. For a moment, he had a feeling that he was going to end up dead as well. Although he was usually confident and lacked compassion he had another side to him as well, which might just come out soon. Instead of lethal eyes, he was greeted with gentle eyes and a warm smile. The smile was almost too warm for Battle Royale.

"So you saw me?" Paul asked as he smirked.

"I certainly did," Cynthia said as she patted on his shoulder.

"And you remember me too," Paul added. "How nice of you."

"I have a good memory." Cynthia smiled as she continued walking along. Paul followed her in a rush. "So have you killed anyone?"

"Yeah," Paul answered. "I killed this guy, but I don't remember his name. He had a tracking device, he wore a green shirt."

"I don't know him either. I saw you kill him though, you would be good for my partner."

"I'd be willing to be your partner for the time being." Paul obliged as he nodded.

"Well, I know a few things about spears," Cynthia added. "I'll be more than happy to help you."

Boy 9 Kenny, Girl 8, Molly, Boy 21, Lance

15 boys left, 16 girls left

Meanwhile, May was angry as she saw Tyson was all over Kai. She was clueless to how the lad could ever be in love with this monster. Ash gulped as he took Molly's cross and arrow set along with the rest of the equipment. The brunette closed her eyes as she started crying out to Tyson. "HOW THE HELL CAN YOU CALL HIM A SOFTIE!" she yelled. "HE JUST MURDERED SOMEONE!"

"May watch out!" Ash called as he grabbed Kenny's gun. "They might kill us." There was a huge sign of fear in Ash.

"Hey guys, calm down!" Tyson said. "Look Kai wasn't going to kill you, if he wanted to, he would have done it by now."

"Don't be stupid Tyson!" Kai muttered in disgust as he folded his arms. "I only saved their life for the sake of it!"

"He's pretty found of you two," Tyson said.

"Don't give them any stupid ideas Tyson!" Kai ordered as tried to drag them out of their site. "Let's go!"

"Hey wait!" Tyson told Kai, "They both seem pretty cool. Surely we could be their friends."

Kai stopped walking as he sighed. He then grabbed on the boy's collar and pulled him very close to his face. "Listen up, we're not here to make friends with anybody. "

"Kai!" Tyson exclaimed as he tried to stop Kai from walking away. "They both seem really nice. Come on Kai, they need our help, and they kinda remind me of…."

"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!"

Two loud voices, that were defiantly coming out from some sort of microphone was loud enough for the whole island to hear. The direction of the voices was coming up from the hill with the little church hut on top. The four of them scurried over to the top of their hill as they saw an aquamarine haired girl and a boy in yellow shorts that stood out.

"Idiots…" Kai muttered.

"IT'S JIMMY AND MARINA HERE!" Marina boomed over the microphone whilst Jimmy was waving a flag. "WE NEED TO STOP KILLING EACH OTHER NOW! LANCE AND CYNTHIA WILL BE ON THERE WAY IN THE MINUTE." Marina passed the microphone over to Jimmy as he passed the flag over to Marina. She started waving the flag as she started jumping in the air.

"THIS IS JIMMY HERE, THINK ABOUT YOUR POKEMON! WOULD THEY WANT THEIR TRAINER TO BE A MURDERER! IF WE PLAY THIS GAME, WE'LL BE JUST AS BAD AS THEM, PLEASE JOIN US AND FIGHT AGAINST THEM. WE NEED TO FIGHT TOGETHER!"

Kai pulled the trigger at the pair of them, missing them deliberately.

"Hey are you crazy?" Ash snapped as he turned around and pulled a gun at Kai.

"Ash stop it!" May requested as she held the gun down.

"PLEASE STOP SHOOTING!" Jimmy demanded as was screaming louder with determination. "EVERYBODY COME OVER HERE AND LET'S SORT THIS …..AH!"

Jimmy and Marina dropped to the floor whilst screeching with a mixture of trigger sounds.

"Damn it," May thought out aloud. "We should have gone to them."

"So you'd get yourself shot as well!" Kai pointed out to May. "You guys are really naïve. You really think this is going to turn out as all happy and sunshine, well your wrong. Life is not like that; never was and never will be. You guys should find yourself lucky that I never killed you!"

Ash was keeping his eye out on the hill, he spotted a two other figures, once he could tell was Cynthia, the other was Paul. He was hoping that Lance wasn't dead. They mentioned Lance was on his way as well, however instead of Lance, it was Paul. The whole thing sounded very mysterious. He knelt down and prayed, he was now concerned for Paul's fate. Jimmy and Marina were already shot down, it might not be long until Paul and Cynthia are gunned down too.

The raven-haired boy was too scared to move. This was a completely different atmosphere to his pokemon journey, there was none of this pro-murder challenges and the sight of blood and the act of such cruelty wasn't even witnessed in front of the majority of young people. The loss of such dear friends, and more to come, was a huge deal of sadness that would altar him for the rest of his life and maybe even his personality.

He was always dense in a lot of things, especially romance; although there was a slim chance of finding romance here even he knew that. He watched Paul as he pushed his spear onto the floor, Ash couldn't tell were the spear was pointing. The spear was pretty close to Jimmy and Cynthia's gun pointed at Marina. He heard Jimmy and Marina make sounds of suffering and struggle.

Another gun shot was made from the distance, the blood squirted out. He turned around and faced May, who had her eyes shut and her ears blocked with her arms. For the first time in his life, he felt useless. He didn't have any idea that such cruelty and unfairness had existed in the world. He knew there were quite a few sick people in the world. However, he never thought that people would be as sick as this, something thinking that genuine murders were entertainment.

Ash heard the crying sounds next to him as he watched his friend, May continue to cry. The tears were down her face as she leant against Ash's shoulder. She was just as scared as she was and felt just as useless.

"See," Tyson whispered to Kai. "Look at them, they're helpless. They really need help."

"Fine." Kai muttered as he walked away in silence after that.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere far away from these idiots."

Tyson sighed, he knew Kai didn't like publicly showing off his soft side, but he couldn't help but feel Ash and May's pain. He couldn't possibly let the two suffer, they were very vulnerable and they seemed very genuine. "Hey!" Tyson called out to the pair of them, "we should better go. Before someone comes and attacks us." The pair of them faced Tyson as he walked over to the scared couple. "Don't be scared, I'm not going to hurt you."
