Chapter Five- Dallas Makes Some Changes
#5 of Part Two - Dallas, Electra, And The Fight Against Team Onyx
Many thoughts were racing through my head as I entered the colony from the entrance in the tall grass. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a Pikachu I was sure I'd never seen before.
"Um... Hello... I um... I smelled others here and I... Well..." He said as he looked down, frowning. "I don't know where I am... I just followed the smells..." He said, sighing.
"Well no worries at all!" I said as I stood up, smiling. "I'm Dallas, and I'm the leader here. You're in a colony." I said as I turned to the side, smiling as he did the same. I watched as a little spark rose from our tails as we touched them together, and we both smiled as he faced each other once more.
That was the normal greeting for me now. I was pretty much feral now, it was only natural for me to inherit the feral greeting. No more pawshakes, that was human stuff. Now I greeted others the same way they greeted me.
"What's a colony?" He asked as he tilted his head, smiling as he leaned in and sniffed me, smiling. "And you smell nice, and you seem really strong!" He said as he hugged me, wagging his tail. "Ooooooh I haven't seen anyone in a looooong time! I've been all by myself!" He said as he nuzzled my neck. "It feels so good to see another Pikachu!"
Normally, with my human mind still active, I would have pushed him away and called him a freak or something. But my human mind WASN'T active, and I actually encouraged it by rubbing his back, smiling as I hugged him back. This kind of affection was normal for me now. I saw nothing wrong with it.
"Awww... Well I'm glad you feel better now." I said as I licked his cheek, giggling. I saw him blush as I licked his cheek, and I did it again, giggling as he looked away.
"Um... Dallas..." He asked, smiling. "C-could I... Stay here with you?" He asked as he looked into my eyes. "Pleaaaaase?"
"Hehe, well..." I said as I looked around, smiling. "I... Don't see why you couldn-"
"YAAAAAAY!" He yelled as he tackled me down, laughing as he ravenously licked my face, coating it in drool as he wagged his tail. "Ooh thank you thank you thank you!!!"
I laughed as I sat up and scratched my right ear.
"Heheh... No problem." I said as I hugged him tightly, smiling.
"Dallas why are you mating at a time like this? You have to get to the meeting room!" Electra said as she frowned. "Who's that?"
"I'm not... Mating..." I said as I wiggled out from underneath the other Pikachu. I could see he was blushing too, and I turned to Electra. "He's new, he wants to stay with us."
"Well you're the leader, that's up to you." She said as she smiled.
"He already said yes! Hehe, are you his mate?" He asked as he tilted his head, smiling.
"Yup yup." Electra giggled as she hugged me.
"Cool! I want a mate too!" He said as he stood up, giggling. "Oh, and you still haven't told me what a colony is!" He said as he jumped up and down.
"Oh, well I'll show you." I said as I got down onto all fours and followed Electra down the tunnel. "Follow me."
He nodded as he got down onto all fours too, and I saw him blush as he began following me. I didn't know why, and I didn't want to ask.
"Oh yeah, I'm the strongest in the colony, so if anyone bothers you just let me know." I said as I looked back at him, smiling.
"O-Okay Dallas!" He said cheerfully as we entered the main room.
As soon as we got inside, I stood up, and so did he. I watched as his eyes lit up with excitement, and he looked from the colony, to me, then back at them.
"T-this... Is a colony?" He asked as he took a step forward.
"Yup." I said as I took his paw, smiling as he blushed again. "Come here."
I lead him to the rock, and we both stood up ontop of it.
"Everyone, this little guy was wandering around here looking for a home." I said as I hugged him. "And now he's got one! Everyone please welcome the newest member of the colony, um..." I said as I looked at him, frowning. "What's your name?"
"Bolt!" He said, giggling.
"BOLT!" I shouted as I held up his paw, smiling as everyone cheered.
"You see, now that Rice is gone no one is afraid!" Someone shouted.
"Yeah, about that..." I said as I lowered our paws, sighing. "Bolt, you'll have to go down there for now." I said as I pointed to the crowd of Pikachu.
"Okay," He said as he hopped down off of the rock and walked over to the front of the crowd of Pikachu, smiling. "Here?"
"That's fine." I said as I sighed, raising my right paw.
"Today... Or rather just now... Electra found Rice..." I said as I looked down a little. "And... She got rid of him... For good." I said as I looked up at the crowd. Almost immediately, everyone began cheering and hugging each other.
"BUT..." I said as I raised my paw again. "But he didn't act normal... He acted... Weak... And kind of dumb..." I said as I looked at Electra, who nodded. "Now I've trained Electra for a while now, and she's pretty tough, but Rice should have been able to put up more of a fight..." I said as I looked back at Electra, who once again nodded.
"Now this is important..." I said as I sighed. "And I want you all to answer this question honestly..." I said as I lowered my paw. "What... What do you know about Team Onyx?" I said as I sat down on the rock, a sign that anyone was free to talk. I watched as everyone began whispering to each other, and I sighed.
"I already know about Team Onyx... I just want to see how much YOU all know..." I said, frowning. "And even if I didn't know, you should be willing to tell me anyway..." I said, frowning. "Because I'm the leader, and you shouldn't keep any important secrets away from the leader, especially ones that threaten the colony..." I said as I looked down. "So... I know all of you know something about Team Onyx, and maybe some of you know something I don't..." I said as I looked out at the crowd. "And I'm sure I know things that you guys don't know... So how about we... Um..."
"Synchronize what we know." Electra said as she stepped up behind me. "This is important, the whole colony could be at risk. Dallas shouldn't have to beg for information. He's your leader, it's your duty to tell him what he wants to hear as soon as he asks." Electra said sternly as a few sparks jumped off of her cheeks.
No one had to make sparks anymore because of the glowsticks I'd left in here earlier.
"And since I'm his mate, you're also permitted to tell ME important things. Because I'm almost always with Dallas, and when I'm not, I know where to find him so that I can tell him. Now, you can present me with little problems, and I'll be more than happy to solve them for you, but the big decisions go to Dallas. Just because I'm probably the second strongest Pikachu in here, and the leader's mate, does NOT mean that I have the same power. Which leads me to another topic." She said as she growled.
"Others mating with Dallas just because he's the leader, or becoming his mate just so you can spy on him, or something STUPID. Like Starlight did." she growled. "I actually love him, and I can TELL when you're just USING HIM." she said as she looked out at the crowd. "That goes for all the females out there. I DON'T want ANY of you getting affectionate with my mate. If anyone does, and I find out that you're just using him, I WILL end you." She growled as a few more sparks flew from her cheeks. "After that nonsense with Starlight... Ugh... Forget it..." She said as she looked down.
"How do we know YOU aren't using him because he's the leader?" Someone shouted.
She growled as she clenched her paws into fists. "I was Dallas' mate since we met a loooong time ago. We loved each other from the start, way before we even joined this colony So SHUT UP!" She yelled. "However, I don't appreciate the fact that you all hold valuable information away from Dallas. And don't give me the "Oh, I kept it secret for your safety" crap, because Dallas is stronger than probably all of us combined, so you holding back critical information from Dallas means you don't care about the colony, and don't care what happens to us. In that case, you can just leave right now because I'm not going to put up with that." She said as she grabbed me and pulled me to my feet. "Explain it Dallas."
Sighing, I nodded.
"Actually, she's right... If any of you are holding back any information that jeopardizes the colony.... And we suffer in any way because you didn't tell us... I'm afraid you're going to have to leave." I said as I looked down. "As much as I hate to make you leave, if you're not helping, and just getting in the way, you're no use to us." I said, sighing. "Which kind of brings me back to the Team Onyx thing... I heard from some humans that this colony belonged to Team Onyx, is that true?" I asked as I sat down.
"All the Raichu in the front, this goes for you too." Electra said as she pointed to the front.
"Well it kind of does..." Thunder said as he made his way to the front, followed by all the others.
"Rice said we were... When he was the leader... He said since he was a member it meant we all were... And he had us steal things from humans and constantly put us in danger..."
"Yeah, Rice was a member."
"I heard he made two of himself because Dallas killed the first one."
"I heard th-"
"Wait WHAT?" I asked as I looked out at the crowd. "Who said that?"
"Me." one of the Pikachu said as he raised his paw. "Team Onyx used Rice's body to try and create a new Rice. Except they couldn't really restore his memory." he said as he put his paw down.
"And you didn't say this earlier because... Why?"
"Well..." He said, frowning. "No reason..."
"See this is what I'm talking about!" I said as I raised both paws into the air. "You can't hold ANYTHING back!"
"I heard that all they need is some fur to make a second copy of someone, and all their members get a needle in them that has a tracking thingy that tells them how well they're doing, if they're sick, if they're hurt, everything!" someone shouted. "So they know when you kill one of their members, and when they die because they get too old, they can just remake them. The only way you can stop them is if you destroy their machine thing that makes the copies, destroy THEM, or completely get rid of the body."
"Yeah, if you fed them to something they couldn't make a copy because there'd be nothing left."
"Yeah, I heard about those needle things. Rice had one and so did Stryder."
Great, so does that mean there's another Stryder walking around out there?
"Why do I bother killing them if they come back..." I groaned as I buried my face in my paws.
"I ate Stryder remember?" Electra said, smiling. "He's gone."
"Oh yeah..." I said as I stood up. "Someone should get rid of Rice's body." I said as I looked out at the crowd. "Burn it or something, it's by the training area in the lake."
"Got it." Someone said as they raised their paw. "I already know about the Rice clone and stuff, so I did it when you left. I pulled him out and lit him on fire with this human fire maker thingy!" He said, smiling.
"Okay..." I said, frowning. "In the dirt, right? Not in the tall grass?"
"Um... I think so..." He said as he tilted his head. "Why does it matter?"
"Well because you can light the whole forest on fire if you did it in the tall grass!" I yelled as I buried my face in my paws again. "Ugh..."
"There's a team of Squirtle in the lake that control fires. If it got out of paw they would have taken care of it by now." someone else said as they raised their paw.
"I think I put him in the dirt anyway. I covered him in sticks and stuff, and this watery stuff that goes WHOOSH when you light it on fire." he said, frowning. "It's like water, but when you squirt it on a fire it makes it bigger." He said, frowning. "I poured it into the hole in his head and down his throat and stuff." he said. "So he's all burnt and stuff. There's nothing left."
"Starlight was a part of Team Onyx and she left."
"Yeah, so was Stryder! They both disappeared though..."
"Yeah and when Rice left all the Team Onyx members were gone, so we refused to do anything for them anymore."
"So we're not with them anymore, and we never REALLY were, because none of us got the stupid needle."
"Team Onyx is stupid anyway."
"Team Onyx made a Pokemon that got loose and wants to kill all the humans." Someone mumbled.
"How'd you find out about that..." I said as I looked at the Pikachu that had her paw raised.
"Well Rice talked about it to Stryder a lot." she said, frowning as everyone began talking amongst themselves.
"Okay, in that case... I have to ask you all a couple of questions... If any of you have ever heard of Mew raise your paw." I said as I raised my paw.
Just about everyone raised their paw, and I smiled.
"Now if you've ever heard of MewTWO raise your paw."
Once again, everyone raised their paws.
"Now... If you've heard of MewTHREE... Raise your paw..." I said as I raised my paw, along with Electra and a couple others.
"Now put them down..." I said as I sighed. "And I know what you're all thinking... Yes, Mewthree is a more advanced version of Mewtwo... And it was created by Team Onyx because they think they're better than Team Rocket..." I said as I looked down. "I've already seen the thing in action, and it's pretty nasty..."
Everyone began talking amongst themselves, until someone blurted out a question.
"What does it look like?"
"Well I can't really describe it..." I frowned.
"What moves does it know?"
"I have no clue! It made a big purple bubble that destroyed everything and then shot fireballs..." I said.
"Well where is it?"
"If I knew I'd tell you." I replied.
"You said it hates humans right? Just like Mewtwo. What if they team up? Are we all going to die?"
"THAT... Is the question..." I said as I stood up. "THAT is what I'm wondering..." I said as I looked down. "I don't know the answer to that... I mean, as long as we stock up on as much food as possible, and stay underground... We'll be fine, I'm sure of it..." "You said it hates all HUMANS... Last time I checked we weren't human." Bolt said as he frowned. "We should be able to go about our daily lives without having to worry about it."
"He's got a point..." Someone mumbled.
"But... What if you were a human before? And got turned into a Pokemon? Like that stupid crap Stryder used to do? Are you still a human?" someone shouted.
"What? That's ridiculous..." I said as I frowned. "And if that even COULD happen... No, you're a Pokemon... It doesn't count..."
"But it's NOT ridiculous! It happened!" Someone shouted.
"Yeah he turned humans into Pikachu!" Someone shouted. "It was weird!"
"That's crazy..." I said as I made a face. "Yeah right."
"Okay, DALLAS... Then tell me THIS!" Someone said as they made their way to the front of the crowd. "Who's BRIAN then?"
"I have no clue." I said as I tilted my head. "Who are they?"
"Wow..." he mumbled as he stared at me closely, before making a face. "Again, who's Brian?"
"I have to idea what you're talking about..." I said as I looked at Electra. "Do you know who Brian is?"
I could tell she was getting irritated, because as soon as I asked her that, she growled under her breath realllly lowly, barely audible. I figured she was just in a bad mood, so I turned back to the Pikachu standing in front of the rock.
"Who's Ben?" He asked as he stared at me.
"Well... The only Ben I know is the Ben that works for Team Onyx... He's a Pikachu... He's the leader or something..." I said as I frowned.
"And tell me, HOW do YOU know that?" he asked as he took a step closer.
"Well... B-"
"Because HE had to go save ME after I got CAUGHT!" Electra growled as she stepped forward. "How do YOU know that?" She asked as she stared down at him, growling.
"You don't need to know how I know that." he said as he smirked. "Hey 'Dallas,' Who's your mom? Where's your dad? Do you have any parents? Who watched over you when you were a Pichu? What was the first thing you did when you hatched out of your egg into a Pichu?" he asked as he got even closer. "When did you evolve? Why don't you answer my questions?" He asked as he pushed past the Raichu, who shoved him aside.
"You're not supposed to be up here." one of them growled as he pushed him back. "Stay there."
"I can do what I want." he said as he growled. "ANDWER me Dallas. WHAT was the first move you learned?"
"Thunderbolt..." I said as I frowned. "Why?"
"Why wasn't it spark? Or growl? Or even scratch?" he asked as he raised his paws into the air. "I can already tell you're lying. No one would learn that move as their first move." he said as he folded his arms.
That got everyone talking, whispering things to each other and looking at me.
"Well, I'm a pretty powerful Pikachu... It's only natural for me to learn a high level move as my first move... I skipped over the weak ones because I was too strong." I said as I tilted my head, frowning.
To tell the truth, that's exactly what my mind told me. And it made sense, so I went with it.
Once again, everyone began taking amongst themselves.
"It's not possible for a Pichu to learn Thunderbolt." he said calmly as he grinned. "How did you do it?"
"W-well..." I said as I looked down. "I kind of just..." I said as I looked at Electra, who pointed to herself.
"Oh yeah!" I said as I looked back at him. "When I was a Pichu, Electra was teaching me how to use my electric attacks, and the very first bolt I shot off was a thunderbolt." I said as I smiled. "I remember now."
"Oh yeah?" He asked as he grinned again. "Was Electra a Pichu too?"
"No, she was a Pikachu..." I said, frowning.
"And you were a Pichu?" he asked.
"Yeah..." I replied.
"So then you're saying you were mates when you were a Pichu?"
"No, I evolved first..." I said.
"You evolved and then learned the move?" he asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"You just said you learned it as a Pichu. Why'd you change your story?" he asked.
"What was the annoying thing Rice did to all the Pichu for them to be able to get water from the lake?" he asked.
"I don't know... I didn't join the colony until waaaay later when I was a Pikachu..." I frowned.
"Um... Well... Do you even REMEMBER being a Pichu?" he asked.
Thinking hard, I tried to picture myself as a Pichu, and I simply couldn't. I didn't remember anything from my Pichu years.
"Um... Well... N-no..." I said as I looked down. "I don't..."
"Is it possible that you were never even a Pichu?" he asked, grinning.
"What are you talking about? You think I was born a really small Pikachu?" I asked as I made a face at him.
"No, I'm saying you were born a HUMAN." he said as he folded his arms again, grinning. "Admit it."
"Admit what?" I asked.
Once again everyone began whispering things to each other.
"Admit you were born a human and turned into a Pikachu!" He said as he stuck his tongue out.
"I was not!" I replied.
"Were too! I was one of the ones that helped it happen!" he said as he raised his paws into the air.
"You're crazy!" I said as I raised mine too. "You're nuts! That's not even possible!"
A human being turned into a Pikachu? That's ridiculous! Let alone it being ME. I was never a human! I was always a Pikachu... Right? I mean, I don't ever remember being a human... So then... That means I wasn't ever one... Right? I thought as I looked at him.
"And how did you get so p-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Electra yelled as she grabbed her ears and pulled them down. She reached forward and grabbed my tail, dragging me backwards as she stepped up onto the rock. "Listen here, buddy, I MET him when he was a PICHU! I helped him because he was all alone outside, and when he saw me, he EVOLVED because he was HAPPY to see another Pikachu! He must have been stranded for a LONG time to be that happy to see someone else!" She yelled as sparks flew from her cheeks. "I was the one that taught him thunderbolt as his FIRST MOVE! As soon as he evolved, I fell in LOVE with him, and I did everything I could to HELP him. He WAS a Pichu, and he WAS powerful, even after he'd just evolved!" She yelled as she dropped down onto all fours. "So stop asking STUPID questions that make no SENSE!" She yelled as she stood up, growling. "STOP trying to make MY mate look bad!"
"Maybe I'm wrong..." he mumbled as he looked down.
"Wrong? Try CRAZY!" She yelled as she threw her paws into the air. "Geez, I've never met anyone as STUPID as you are! Not even Stryder was as stupid as you!" She yelled as she flattened her ears to the back of her head.
"Yeah yeah whatever, I made a mistake. So what if Dallas wasn't the human? It's a colony FULL of Pikachu. It's easy to make a mistake." he said, sighing. "Plus Brian could be wandering around in the woods, not even IN the colony..."
"STOP SAYING THAT!" she yelled as she leaped off of the rock and tackled him into the crowd. "I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU SAY ANYTHING ABOUT DALLAS AGAIN!" She yelled in his face as she picked him up and threw him into the crowd.
"Holy shit!" He yelled as he flew through the air. "You're heavy as HELL!"
"Really? I didn't know that." She said sarcastically as she flipped him off. "Quit messing with Dallas."
"Whatever! You can't blame a 'Chu for making a mistake!" he yelled.
"I can too!" She said as she turned toward him, growling. "You're accusing not only my mate, but the leader of the colony, of being a FAKE!" She shouted as she shot a bolt of electricity at him. The crowd all began talking as one of the Raichu pushed their way through and grabbed the 'Chu around the middle, sighing as he escorted him out. I watched as Electra climbed back up on top of the rock and walked behind me, smiling as she hugged me from behind.
"Don't worry Dallas, I remember." she said as she licked my cheek.
"I knew you would... That's why I looked at you..." I said as I looked out at the crowd.
"Um... Anyway..." I said as I looked around. "Is there any questions anyone has for me? That don't involve my personal life?" I asked as I frowned. "Because I'd be glad to answer them for you..."
"That guy was crazy..." Bolt said as he sighed. "He ruined the importance of the whole meeting. The point of this all was to talk about how Team Onyx puts the colony in danger, am I right? If you ask me, that guy is a part of Team Onyx." he said as he raised his right paw. "Dallas, I have something to tell you... I know I'm like, extremely new, and literally just joined... But from what I'm hearing, Team onyx is doing nothing but bad, right? They haven't done anything good for the colony."
"Right..." I said, smiling as he made his way to the front. I watched as he scrambled up onto the rock and hopped up to where I was. Everyone began talking amongst themselves, probably surprised that I'd let him do that.
"Listen... How about we kick all the Team Onyx members out? They don't help us, they just give us away." he whispered as he looked out at the crowd. "besides, I have some of these we can use to get rid of them!" He said as he took my right paw and slipped something into it. Or rather a group of something. I frowned as I opened my paw and looked at what appeared to be tiny Pokeballs.
"Where did you get these!?!" I whispered as I got really close. "This is insane!"
"Just do it. Ask questions later." He said as he hopped down off of the rock.
Frowning, I looked at the crowd, who for the most part, were staring at me like I was crazy or something.
"Um... I've been presented with a really good idea..." I said as I closed my paw around the balls, sighing as I spoke.
"Team Onyx does nothing good for the colony... Every time we get tied up with Team Onyx we always get red flagged... The humans think we work for Team Onyx, and we're all bad... They don't like us... We're going to put a stop to that..." I said as I sat down on the rock. "Now... Everytime a member of Team Onyx does something here, or tells us what we can and can't do, bad things happen. Sooooo..." I said as I stood back up. "So I want everyone in the room to move back until there's a big gap between me and you all." I said as I hopped down off of the rock. I watched as everyone moved closer together, until there was a large gap between me and the Raichu. I smiled as I hopped up onto the rock and pointed to the gap.
"Now be honest... I want all the Team Onyx members to move forward and stand in the gap." I said as I sat down again. I watched as one Pikachu, then another, and another, made their way to the front, until there was a group of seven standing in the gap.
"Now... Be HONEST with me... I'm not going to look down on you no matter what you do..." I said as I sighed, taking a deep breath.
"IF... you are a loyal Team Onyx member, step to the right..." I said as I closed my eyes. "And if you have ever put the colony in danger, or are planning to, you can step to the left..." I said as I opened my eyes. I watched as four of the seven moved to the right, but no one moved to the left.
"I said be honest..." I said as I sighed. "Okay, let's put it this way... Everyone back to the middle." I said as I waved my paws. "Now... If you would put the needs of Team Onyx before the needs of the colony, or care about Team Onyx more, move forward." I said as I pointed.
I watched as four of the seven hesitantly stepped forward, and I groaned.
"Ugh... Okay, now... If you would ever do something to bring harm to the colony in any way, whether it's physical harm, or making the humans think we're bad, step forward even more." I said, turning around as two of the Pikachu stepped forward, one of which was in the middle, and hadn't stepped forward yet.
"Like I said, I'm not going to get mad..." I said as I slipped the Pokeballs into Electra's paw, nodding when she pointed to the Pikachu.
"I don't even know where these came from but use them." I whispered to her as I walked back to the rock, sighing.
"Okay, I have one last question to ask... Do you all honestly value Team Onyx more than the colony?"
"Team Onyx is an inch away from ruling the world, of course I do." One of them said. I buried my face in my paws as almost everyone gasped, and I groaned.
"Like I said, I'm not mad at you..." I said as I waved my paw at Electra, smiling as she threw the tiny masterballs at the Pikachu that were closest to the rock. Almost as if knowing what I was doing, the Raichu stepped forward and held the ones that never stepped forward in place. They didn't move though, so that was a good sign.
"Again, I'm not mad..." I said as I looked at Electra. "SHE is... And as far as I'm concerned, whatever she w-" I said, but stopped as soon as the balls hit them. I watched as they were digitalized and sucked inside, sighing as they rolled around on the ground before coming to a complete stop.
"I didn't finish what I was saying because they can't hear me anymore..." I said as I hopped down off of the rock, walking up to the Pikachu that the Raichu were holding.
"Are you sure that you wouldn't do anything to harm us, ever?" I asked as I looked into their eyes one by one, sighing as they all shook their heads no.
"Well... If you're being honest right now... Then I guess you can stay in the colony... But you have to leave for now... Just until things get sorted out, alright?" I said as I placed my right paw on one of their cheeks, sighing as a tear fell from it.
"I know, you love the colony, and you've probably lived here your whole life... But we can't have any Team Onyx members in here..." I said as I looked down.
"I'll quit then..." he said as he looked at me. "Just please let me stay..."
"It's not that easy..." I said, sighing. "I can't just le-"
"Yes you can, look." he said as he wiggled free of the Raichu, making a face as he went through the fur underneath his right ear and pulled out something black.
"See look, I quit." he said as he threw it to the ground and hit it with a bolt of electricity, making a face as a puff of smoke shot into the air.
"Well... That actually looked pretty legit..." I said as I frowned.
"That was the thing they use to monitor me... Now to them, I'll just look like any other Pikachu..." he said as he looked at the other Pikachu, who nodded as he did the same, smiling as he took off his black thing and thunderbolted it.
"Okay... So the remaining two don't have to leave because they quit... Um... If everyone is comfortable with that then raise your paw..." I said as I hopped back up onto the rock, smiling as almost everyone raised their paw.
"Oh, and don't look down on them because they used to be members... They said they wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the colony anyway, so there's no need to be mean to them or anything." I said as I looked at the five balls on the ground. "As far as those five go... Well... We'll have to get rid of them..." I said as I frowned.
"Well there's nowhere we can put them that's safe... I mean, someone can always just push the button and let them out..." One of the Raichu said as they collected the balls.
"No, those are security balls... You have to press the button six times to release the Pokemon..." Bolt said as he walked over to the Raichu.
"But still... Now everyone knows that... Nice going..." He said as he sighed. "We need to dump them in the river or something... Because they sink... So let's throw them in the lake..."
"Ugh, you're all so dumb sometimes." Electra growled as she snatched them out of the Raichu's paw. "THIS is how you do it." She said as she tossed all five into her mouth, grinning as she gulped them down. "See? Gone. No one can get them, and they're gone forever." she said as she turned around and hopped up onto the rock, getting behind me as she smiled.
"Oh yeah, I forgot that Electra could do that..." the Raichu said as he looked down. "And I thought her ravenous hunger never did any good... Boy was I wrong." he chuckled as he looked me.
"Um... Well I didn't want to kill them... I mean, they're Pikachu too... But..."
"Too late." Electra smiled as she hugged me. "Besides, it's for the benefit of the colony."
"Well that's true..." I sighed as I looked at Bolt, who smiled at me.
"Ugh... I don't even know what to do now..." I said as I waved my right paw. "If everyone is fine now then you can all leave." I said as I motioned for Bolt to follow me, sighing as I walked into the tunnel that lead to our rooms. There was something up with Bolt... I mean, he just dumped Pokeballs into my paw like it was nothing... He was so eager to get rid of the Team Onyx members... And he got sooo into the conversation about Team Onyx... Where'd he even get them? I mean, it was a big help and all, but... It's just too suspicious...
