The Hackers {A Pokémon Fanfic}

••Chapter Two••

||Misao's Point Of View||

I had no dreams as I napped, but I could still feel myself worrying about Koko and Ichii. What if they disappeared while I was sound asleep?

Suddenly, pain shot up my arms, and I bolted up, immediately awake. I looked around the den quickly, but noticed it definitely wasn't the home I had come to know and love.

"K-Koko, Ichii! Where are you?" Tears formed in my eyes as I frantically looked around. I couldn't see them anywhere.

Standing up, I started running through the strange place. There were cells containing sleeping Pokémon lining the halls. Screams echoed through the building, and I felt myself running faster at the noise.

"Koko, Ichii, please! Please tell me this is some cruel joke!" My pleads echoed through the place endlessly, and I knew that this wasn't a dream. This wasn't a joke.

This was real. I was in this strange building without anybody to tell me where I was.

My legs buckled under me, and before I knew it, I was on the stone floor, sobbing softly. A few Pokémon stirred in their cells, turning to look at me.

"Woah, calm down. Nobody here is going to hurt you, little Sneasel," A Smeargle murmured.

"Yeah, the Pokémon here are really friendly! You're gonna have a great time, don't worry," A Litten mewed. I scowled at the Pokémon, and they shrunk back.

"You don't get it, you don't understand. You can't just tell me that everything is going to be okay. I have two younger Pokémon to take care of back at my house, and they can't be left alone!" I didn't mean to sound rude, but I needed to get my point across.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. It-"

"Shut up you flaming piece of trash! You don't know what these poor kids have been through!" I interrupted the Litten angrily, and I almost felt bad about what I said.

"No need to insult!" This was a new voice coming from down the hall. A figure flew into the light quickly, and I instantly recognized that it was a Flygon. The voice was clearly masculine.

"Why am I here? Why did I wake up in this strange place?" I approached the Flygon, charging a Shadow Claw.

"I can't tell you that information. Now be a good little girl and follow me," The Flygon ordered.

"I won't be a good little girl until you give me the information I asked for, so, be a good little boy, and tell me," I hissed. This only made the Flygon laugh.

"You're a bit sassy, aren't you? I don't like that one bit, so I guess we're gonna have to do this the hard way. Elle, come!" The Flygon yelled down the hall, and I could hear footsteps approaching.

An Espeon was at the Flygon's side suddenly, and it stared at me, almost looking sorry for something.

"Elle, Psychic. Now."

The Espeon's eyes lit up quickly, and I was suddenly floating above the ground awkwardly.

"Hey, let me down, now! That's an order!" I tried to move, but my limbs wouldn't obey me.

"Nope, you're gonna do what I tell you, no questions asked. Got that?" The Flygon looked me in the eyes angrily, his teeth showing through a forced smile.

"Sure, whatever. I'll play along with this stupid little game of yours, you watch me. You'll be clueless as I slowly kill you, and I'll just laugh," I hissed. "I'll do what you say, but I'll do the things you thought nobody was brave enough to do. I swear it on my life."
