The Truth and The Ideals (Pokemon Fanfic)

Chapter 17. The World was Silent That Day

White watched with a bleak expression as they dragged him and her away. Who where they? They were the grunts, White watched as she was dragged through the dirty halls. She hadn't been told where they were going. All she did was watch as Mamoru struggled to walk in front of her. The grunts pushed her forward, as she herself struggled to walk.

White looked at all the other prisoners as she walked, they all gave her scared looks. Oh how she wished she could save them, how she wished she could save them all. The grunts were being incredibly brutal, they had pushed Mamoru down twice. White helped him up the second time.

She had carried him all the way to the area they were being taken to. It was strange, they were being taken outside. Why were they being taken outside? Her heart dropped as she was blinded by the sun. Her face was dirty, her hair a mess. Mamoru was equally as dirty, stubble began to grown on his face.

She recalled this place, it was once an intimidating place, a place that Pokémon trainers would test their skills, she was led outside the towering gates, and led to the bottom of the victory road, savouring the shade that the different caves and ledges would give her.

She finally got used to the sun's blinding rays, and the world around her became clear. She saw a whole row of grunts lined up, their Pokémon by their side and.. Guns in their hands?

Ghetsis was standing at a podium, and a crowd of people being held back by grunts, tv camera's were set up and it seemed different reporters were reporting the whole event. Something seemed off, something was worrying White.

She watched as Mamoru was pushed to the floor by the other grunts and then dragged to a large pole, he was forced down and chained to the pole. He glared at Ghetsis who was laughing like a mad man. White wondered if he had lost his mind?

"Now my dear Rebels, I'll show you what happens when you disobey my wishes." Ghetsis glared back at Mamoru. The brown haired man continued to glare daggers into him. "Any last words my dear Mamoru?" Ghetsis asked.

White turned pale, she looked at Mamoru who just laughed, why was he laughing? White watched as Mamoru stared straight at one of the camera's. Ignoring Ghetsis' question.

"Observers, break my chains." Was all he said. Ghetsis huffed, then looked at the grunts. "Shoot at the bastard." He ordered, lifting his hand up.

The grunts lined up their guns, aimed...

...and fired.

"COME QUICK! GHETSIS IS TALKING ABOUT US!" Anthea cried out to all that were still asleep, the trainers that were awake were all crowded around a few small tv's and radios that were broadcasting the whole thing. Azamuku groggily woke up, dragging Ki with her.

The two made their way into the reception area of the Pokémon center, where a Nurse joy was turning up the radio and a Chansey was bringing in more tv's and radio's.

Azamuku heard all the commotion and then heard that bastard Ghetsis. She pushed trainers out of the way just to get a clear picture. She didn't care that she was only wearing a very thin tank top and panties, she had heard Ghetsis' incredibly annoying voice.

Ki was just as confused as she was, and he was also wearing very little. Making Anthea question if observers liked to flaunt their seemingly toned body, or was it just those two?.Azamuku gasped at how she had heard Ghetsis talking.

"...If the rebellion do not give in now, we will start imposing heavy taxes on the people." Ghetsis explained. Ki bit his lip.

"That bastard, he's turning the people against us!" Azamuku cried out. She wanted to punch the tv in right there and then, but was stopped by Ki, who held her arm back.
