Ch. 6

The twins roamed the streets of Floaroma Town the next day. Atreyo spotted a trainer with a fire type Pokemon. He hid behind Nando with his eyes closed.

"Atreyo? Hey, are you alright?" Nando asked softly.

"F-fire type…" Atreyo shivered in fear.

"Hm?" Nando looked at the fire type Pokemon, then understood what was going on. "You're scared of fire. Atreyo, I'm right here for you." Atreyo nodded and calmed down a bit.

They went into the forest that connected to another town. They said bye to Arbrie, Tray and their friends before they left.

Going into the forest was nice. The forest Pokemon sang. The twins stopped at an Oran berry tree. They sat down to have a bite.

A golden shaded Vulpix came along. Curling up next to Atreyo. Atreyo looked down at the Pokemon, but didn't freak out. He knew Vulpix was a fire type, but this particular Vulpix was his friend.

Vulpix has been trying to help Atreyo with his fear of fire.

"Hm? I've never seen a Vulpix like that before," Nando said, looking at the Vulpix.

"Heh, heh," Atreyo chuckled, petting the Vulpix beside him. "Hm?" He looked to the side as Vulpix also looked around. Its ears twitching.

"Do you hear that, Nando? Or… am I hearing things?" Atreyo asked, hearing strange footsteps coming their way.

"Hm?" Nando wondered. He listened to the surroundings. He heard the footsteps and wondered what it was. "I hear it too, Atreyo."

Vulpix got up sharply, growling at something behind Atreyo. The twins looked in that direction as a psychic type move came down on the twins and Vulpix, hard.

All three of them fell unconscious after a few minutes. Someone with a Bronzong came into view, smirking.

"Well, that was easy," the man cackled. "Bronzong, psychic and carry them to the hideout."

"Zong," Bronzong said using psychic to lift the twins and left Vulpix there.

Nando started to stir after a few hours. Quickly finding out that he couldn't move. He woke up sharply and looked around.

"What's… going on?" Nando thought. His hands were crisscrossed behind the chair he was in, tightly bound with rope. His legs were tied underneath the chair and his chest was bound as well. Keeping his upper arms pressed against his torso.

Nando tried shouting for Atreyo but all that came out was, "Mmm-mmph! Mmph!"

"Something was stuffed in his mouth as a silver strip kept his lips from parting all the way. "What happened? Where's Atreyo?" He thought, trying not to panic. He struggled to get free but it was useless. Nando couldn't get free.

The lights came on suddenly, making Nando sharply close his eyes. A weird laugh came into the room. Nando blinked his eyes open to see a man standing by a steel door.

"What the- who is this guy? What's going on here?" Nando thought, slightly struggling in the chair.

"Ha! It's useless to struggle Nando. You're not getting out of here. Actually it was that brother of yours I wanted," the guy told him stopping in front of him.

"Mmph?!" Nando shouted, struggling harder. "Where is he?!" he thought in a shout. "Atreyo…"

"But I wanted you to have front row seats to what I'm going to do," smirked the guy as he held up a remote. He pressed the middle button as the floor opened at the door.

A metal table arose from the floor with Atreyo strapped to it. His arms where stretched out to the side. There was a dark red blindfold over his eyes. An open circle gag was in his mouth.

Nando gasped behind his gag, struggling more.

"Let's play dentist," the weird guy cackled as he walked over to the table with pliers in his hand.

"Mmph! Mph!" Nando shouted. "No, stop it! Don't!" he thought.
