Hey guys! It's Bulbasaur! Here is the chapter for today. We have included one of LovingTogepi's suggestions in this chapter and another will be in the next chapter, or the seventh chapter, dunno.

"Human Talking"

"Pokemon Talking"

Fails

When I wake up my hands are in some kind of handcuffs.

The metallic feel of steel rubs harshly against my wrists. They are probably black and blue, maybe even purple by now. So many shackles and restraints, it hurts just thinking about it. Groggily, I open my eyes and am greeted by another set of eyes.

The creature jumps back in surprise and I can now see what it is. My mind tells me that the quadruped creature with a bulb on it's back sitting in front of me, is a Bulbasaur. One thing that's different though from my mental image is, this Bulbasaur instead of being green, has a black body and a luminescent blue bulb, with light blue spots and eyes.

It cautiously approaches, like it thinks I'll just spring up and grab it. Like that would happen.

"Why are you here?" It inquires softly.

I am mildly surprised, I remember my talk with the Milotic, but that seems like years ago.

"What do you mean?"

"Why were you a fail?"

I pondered this question, many reasons came to mind but one stuck out.

"My guess would be because I didn't listen to them."

"That makes sense, they would want their soon-to-be top agent completely under their control."

The Bulbasaur lumbered over towards another pokemon, satisfied with our small talk.

It sits down next to a small fox like creature with a small tuft of hair sticking up from it's head, a Zorua. Like the Bulbasaur, this one was different from my knowledge's picture, this one had blue accents, not red. As I continued to stare at the two pokemon, I sensed two more auras approaching, but with helpful intentions. One of the aura signatures was full of wisdom, and it's aura radiated in peaceful waves, this 'mon was very calm. On the other hand, it's partner was energetic, but powerful. It's aura radiated with authority, but also with energy. Upon their arrival, I heard the sound of metal snapping behind my back.

"Why did you do that?"

Turning around, I see two figures.

A blue jackal-like pokemon is on the left.

It has metal spikes protruding from it's chest and paws. Smooth, black appendages are attached to it's canine-like head, with some black and blue fur to add to the look.

On the right of the Lucario, a yellow pokemon is standing there grasping two spoons.

It has a serious facial expression and has a yellow mustache on it's face.

An Alakazam and the Lucario have now joined our little group of "fails".

"We want to train you and help you escape. Also, you wish to help us, why would we stop you?"

"How did you know that I wanted to help the other pokemon?"

"We can sense your thoughts."

"Did you try escaping before?"

"Yes, many times, but we have a plan to escape, it just requires your wings, and all of our powers combined."

"Good, one question before we start, I sensed another aura across the room, a powerful one. Would you happen to know what it is?"

"Oh, that's Dragonite, he's kind of a loner…"

"Oh, well, then lets begin training, and do you happen to know the name of these people?"

"Yes, they are Team Lava."

" Well then lets start training and defeat Team Lava!"

I spring up and start running, only to feel my feet being frozen in place. The psychic grip is strong, even when I flare my aura to try and break the hold on my body.

"What?"

"Really? You can't start training now, you're not even fully healed."

"Oh, yeah."

I feel the psychic grip release me and I walk back over to the pokemon.

The Zorua is silently snickering and the Bulbasaur has a small smile on it's face. I give them a small glare, although that just brings upon more laughter.

Lucario and Alakazam though, I can't even tell what they're thinking, their faces are as stoic as possible.

Lucario instructs me to sit down and rest. I start to protest, but it seems like I have the lowest authority, even the mischievous Zorua seems to be respected more. I feel like a little kid, being ordered around, but I comply anyway. These pokemon are my only hope. I plop onto the ground and sit there, wondering what to do now.

As if sensing my thoughts, maybe he did, Lucario approaches me and a pink light forms in his paws. Directing it towards me, warmth fills my body and I feel strength coming back to me. Lucario's heal pulse is really strong and after a few minutes, I'm as good as new. I stretch my arms and inspect my wrists, not surprised to see the bruises gone. The mark from the needle in my leg is gone also. I stand up, unsure of what the pokemon wish to do now, and glance over at Zorua. My uncanny sense of hearing had picked up a small chuckle from it's direction, it's face was stretched, trying not to burst out laughing.

Bulbasaur was in the same spot, ready to burst at any second.

"What's so funny?"

That seemed to do the trick, they burst out laughing. The pokemon were rolling around with tears in their eyes. Zorua got small twigs off the ground stuck in it's fur and Bulbasaur was trying hard to roll around without squashing it's precious bulb.

Shifting my gaze, I saw Lucario with a slight smirk on it's face, and Alakazam's expression unchanged. With the pokemon coming to their senses awhile later, Zorua and Bulbasaur pulled themselves together and answered my question.

"Your face when you got up! You looked like you were afraid of us and would have done anything we told you."

"It was hilarious! Seeing you afraid of us. You're probably more powerful."

I doubted it, but went with it anyway. Lucario gives them a small glare and they finally shut up. He waves me over towards a small patch of trees in the simulated environment, and I start towards them. Zorua and Bulbasaur's faces light up and they follow behind me, glee evident on their faces. What was so exciting? It's just a small forest. Right?

I pushed through the outskirts of the trees and into a clearing.

Lucario and Alakazam were already stationed there. Alakazam probably teleported, and Lucario had it's aura to strengthen it.

In unison, they stated, "Your training begins now."
