<<Faitsu's POV>>

I woke up from one of my little naps which were the only thing in my short schedule these days. Sleep. Eat. Clean. Feed Kyurem. Exercise. Sleep.  The alarm was blaring, screaming at me to wake up. Before I could drag myself up, my door/prison cell slid open, revealing my favorite Team Plasma scum: Colress. Note the sarcasm.

"Good day Faitsu," he said, scanning the room.

There wasn't anything good with my days spent with Team Plasma so I just stared at him. If looks could kill, I would have been out of here and made this Plasma Frigate explode. I was fighting every urge to stick my stunner in his throat. Okay. Maybe not kill him. I wasn't sure if I'm capable of that.

"I'm sure Lexa and Mackenzie had informed you of your field trip today?" he said.

"Not much. They did mention it," I answered bluntly, itching to get out of here.

"Yes, well your mission will be explained later. You might see us as evil, Faitsu, but we only seek order and knowledge," he explained. 

Yeah right. I don't believe anything Team Plasma says. Been there, done that.

"But I guess you would not believe anything we say," he chuckles. "Oh the naivety of youth! I suggest you prepare for your trip, Faitsu. It may be a little... wild."

"I'm not going anywhere without my Pokemon," I snapped. "I need them in good condition."

Colress frowned. "I believe that's not-"

"Well, we could end the deal right here. You don't trust me, I don't trust you but you need me to take care of Kyurem and whatever's in that field trip," I tried to look as tough and as serious as possible, which was not that hard especially if you're beside the person you hate most.

Colress stared at me with calculating eyes. I'm sure whatever's rotten inside that head of his has gears turning. "Or we could just torture your Pokemon until you comply?"

"And you expect me to perform well after that?" I tried to scoff. "Please, Colress. I'm not that vulnerable as you think."

"Fine then. But beware, Faitsu, you would be guarded and I will make sure that you have no chance to escape," with that, Colress left, his words echoing inside my brain.

I really need a good plan, don't I? A foolproof one.

"On your feet, you ungrateful brat!" Mackenzie arrived, screamed at my face with her spit hitting my face.

"Where are we going?" I mumbled.

"That's classified," Lexa replied, grasping her stunner in her hand as she grabbed a burlap sack from behind. She put it on my head and tied the strings loosely to give me room to breathe. I felt metal handcuffs press on my skin. That would make escaping harder.

"Let me guess. Outside?" I asked.

"It doesn't matter! Now walk!" Mackenzie ordered, grabbing my arm and pushing me.

Lexa led me to winding corridors. I tried to memorize the way we were walking: left, left, a very long straight, right, left, elevator, short stairs, left....and lost it. I couldn't see anything with the sack but I could hear voices clearly. They were talking about the sea and the weather. I wonder if we were docked near a beach or something. After three minutes, we reached the deck. Sure enough, I could smell the sea and feel the breeze despite the sack in my head. Ah, fresh air and sunlight. I wonder where we are.

"Up you go," Lexa said and pushed me gently forward to some sort of stairs. 

"I'm not going anywhere without my Pokemon!" I said. "Colress is informed with my request and I believe he would comply. He needs to comply!"
