The Hackers {A Pokémon Fanfic}

••Chapter Six••

||Rin's Point Of View||

"Hey, what's going on?" This voice came from one of the three strangers.

"Yeah, what is this place?" Another one struggled to escape the ropes that were tied tightly around its body.

"Please let us go," The last one whimpered.

"No, you peasants. You just waltzed in here like you were the bosses or something, and I can't allow that. Because of your. . . stupid actions, you three are going to learn an important skill- teamwork," Ro hissed.

I laughed. "Really, that's the best thing you could think of? Teaching them how to work together?"

Ro mumbled something under his breath, then turned towards me. "Rin, I wasn't done talking yet. Shut up and listen to my important speech so we can get this plot moving."

I scoffed silently. "Yeah, okay Ro-chan," I giggled.

"You three have 1 hour to escape these ropes before we kill you, is that clear? I'm going to have Rin here," he pointed to me, "supervise you as you take on this challenge-type thing. Good luck my little temporary prisoners, and make sure you have fun!" He laughed maniacally before flying away.

The three Pokémon just stared at me, fear shining in their wide-eyes expressions.

"What are you waiting for? Go already, time is ticking!" I flicked my tail and grinned as I saw them struggling endlessly.

"YOU'RE A BIG MEANIE-PANTS, DO YOU KNOW THAT!? WHEN WE GET OUT OF THESE ROPES, I'M GONNA CLAW YOUR FACE OFF, YOU GOT THAT!? I WILL CLAW YOUR FACE CLEAN OFF!" I could see that this voice was coming from the smaller of the two Vulpix. He seemed to be the one struggling the most, and seemed to be the only one actually biting at the ropes.

"Can you please just let us go? I need to get back to my momma and papa, they're gonna be worrying about me all day if I don't get back," The other Vulpix begged.

I ignored their pleas. "Tell me your names. As Master Ro said earlier, my name is Rin."

"I'll never tell you my name. You don't need to know that information." This was the Rockruff.

"Would you rather have me end your life right now? I can do that if you really want me to," I mumbled.

"Geez, fine. My name is Koko."

"I'm Ichii. Sorry for yelling at you, I guess."

"I'm Izabella. Can you please let us go? My parents are really gonna worry, and I really hate seeing them worried."

"STOP ASKING TO BE LET GO! MASTER RO WANTS YOU THREE TO LEARN THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR STUPID ACTIONS! NOW SHUT UP AND TRY TO ESCAPE THE DUMB ROPES I WAS FORCED TO TIE AROUND YOU!" I was just about to bash my head against the wall after listening to these three beg and plead to be let go after Ro clearly explained the two options they had.

"Woah, calm down there. We can stop talking now if that's what you'd like," Koko said softly. I nodded, and they shut up, immediately biting at the ropes.

I simply sighed. These three didn't understand the gravity of their situation. An alarm blared overhead and red lights flashed through the room.

Ro ran out to me, eyes wide. "One of out prisoners escaped! You gotta get them, Rin!"

"What about the three here? Should we let them go!?" The three looked up at me, terrified as I spoke about them with Ro quickly.

"Yes! Yes, let them go at once! We need all focus on this prisoner!" Ro ran off, and I untied the ropes around Koko, Ichii and Izabella. They ran away almost instantly.
