(D: )

Back in the Pokemon Center, after yet another nightmare, Runaway slid out of bed, went to the bathroom, got a drink of water, and blew his nose. It was obvious that he wasn't going to be able to sleep as well as he hoped, and with the recurring presence of that Zoroark-man in each dream, he knew who the culprit was.

Digging through Trak's bag, he dug out his spoons. Approaching Joe, he sorted the Poke Balls and grabbed the one containing the Zoroark, which he threw to release it.

Diggeroark popped out of the PokeBall, and farted. Seeing Runaway, he Snarled.

Runaway brandished his spoons. "Assez de cette mascarade! Finissons-le!" Enough of this charade! Let's end it! Knowing that Illusion was just an aesthetic, the Alakazam put his spoons together and fired off a Dazzling Gleam.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1227 on:** January 10, 2014, 04:15:29 AM

Diggeroark revealed his true form, and dodged the attack. Speaking in Snarls...

"You want a battle here? Not caring for your trainer's safety?"

Quickman · **Reply #1228 on:** January 10, 2014, 04:28:29 AM

Runaway looked at Trak for a long moment. Granted, the room was far too small for a decent battle, but he didn't want to leave the premises entirely. But, should something happen to him, he wanted to make sure that there was some level of supervision. Or, he could just wake Trak up and avoid any potential abduction.

The Alakazam grabbed a cup of water and threw it in Trak's face, who woke up with a start.

"What-what?" Trak looked around, saw the Zoroark and Runaway squaring off, and jumped up. "Alright, if it's a battle you want..." She grabbed her bag and readied another ball, in case Runaway needed help.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1229 on:** January 10, 2014, 04:42:54 AM

Zoroark Snarl'd again, and began to gather a dark ball of energy in his palms.

"Unlike you... I care not of my... Trainer, if he's even that. If it's a battle you want... NIGHT DAZE!"

Zoroark lifted the ball of energy above his head, and it exploded into ripples of darkness.

Apprentice heard something booming from Trak and Joe's room. Having been aware of the nightmare energy for some time, he felt obligated to just leave things alone. But then Jeff wouldn't appreciate having a young woman unintentionally caught in whatever shenanigans were going on there and decides to check it out just to avoid being nagged at for not being a gentleman in at least keeping knowledge of what caused the ruckus.

With Pixie still clinging to the back of his head, the two head out of Jeff's room and towards the source of the noise, looking around for a crack in the door to peak into and see what was going on.

Quickman · **Reply #1231 on:** January 10, 2014, 05:07:26 AM

Runaway stumbled backwards, but regained his balance, shaking his head.

"Hit him again with Dazzling Gleam!" Trak commanded, clutching Susan's Poke Ball just in case.

Runaway just stared at her, puzzled.

"Crap, he must've used Torment earlier," Trak grumbled, running through Runaway's moves in her head, trying to figure out which one to throw at the Zoroark. "Charge Beam! We just need a combo breaker!"

"Oui!" Runaway nodded and held his spoons together, charging up.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1232 on:** January 10, 2014, 06:24:56 AM

Zoroark grinned as he leapt at Runaway amidst the charging, and bared his fangs for a Crunch.

Joe was stirring in his sleep, until he finally sat up in frustration, and sneezed. Turning, he noticed the battle.

"What the hell is happening!?"

Quickman · **Reply #1233 on:** January 10, 2014, 06:30:14 AM

Runaway released the Charge Beam, firing it right to Zoroark's face, because he hates to lose and he wants to look badass!

Trak looked to Joe. "Runaway picked a fight with the Zoroark. Got anything that can help?"

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1234 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:00:12 AM

"S-sure! Raticate! Come on out!"

Raticate popped out of his PokeBall, just as Zoroark crashed into it from Runaway's Charge Beam. Feeling annoyed, Raticate used Hyper Fang on Zoroark. Zoroark screamed in pain at his bones cracking, and fired a Dark Pulse from its mouth at Raticate, resulting in a small explosion of smoke.

"Maybe I can recall it back! Zoroark return!"

The capture beam shot out, but missed its target.

Mirby · **Reply #1235 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:10:11 AM

Taylor slept blissfully unaware of the battle, glad to be free of that creep Mr. Bonding. It helped that her Secret Base was soundproofed.

Quickman · **Reply #1236 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:23:51 AM

"I don't think that will work," Trak shook her head. "Runaway, Dazzling Gleam!"

Runaway nodded and put his spoons together, gathering energy.

"Got shades? This one's going to be a doozy," Trak quickly donned a pair of shades.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1237 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:29:31 AM

"Shades? I do- GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"

Joe was blinded by the Dazzling Gleam, as did Zoroark. Zoroark Howl'd in pain at the super-effective attack, and collapsed into a heap, with Joe tripping over him.

Quickman · **Reply #1238 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:32:22 AM

Trak took off her shades and helped Joe up. "Sorry. Shades wouldn't really help much as I'm seeing spots."

Runaway dropped his guard and walked over to the collapsed Zoroark, nudging it with his toe.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1239 on:** January 10, 2014, 07:59:08 AM

"I'm blind again!"

Raticate cried up in agreement, having been blinded by Dazzling Gleam as well. Zoroark just moaned in pain with each nudge. Upon hearing the moans, Joe asked.

"Do you think that maybe we went a bit too far?"

Quickman · **Reply #1240 on:** January 10, 2014, 08:04:17 AM

Trak raised an eyebrow. "Possibly, hold on..." She dug in her bag and pulled out a Revive, handing it to Runaway. "You started the fight, you make amends."

Runaway nodded slowly like a child being punished and used the Revive on the moaning Zoroark.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1241 on:** January 10, 2014, 08:39:03 AM

Zoroark slowly woke up, but could feel the sting of the Dazzling Gleam. Remembering his defeat, Zoroark held his head low.

"Do what you want with me, I have lost... And failed."

Quickman · **Reply #1242 on:** January 10, 2014, 08:44:19 AM

Trak came over and crouched by the Zoroark, offering a Lumiose galette and a nice bottle of Moomoo Milk. "Look, I can't speak for Runaway, as he can be a bit too Bold for his own good, but if there's any way we can help you, I'd like to do that."

Mirby · **Reply #1243 on:** January 10, 2014, 08:48:28 AM

Waking up to get something to drink, Taylor heard a commotion. She ran over to the room it came from and opened the door, seeing the aftermath of a battle. "Whoa. What happened here?" she exclaimed sleepily, rubbing her eyes in an attempt to wake herself up.

(Is she rubbing sleep out of her eyes, or is it Dazzling Gleam? WHO KNOWS?)

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1244 on:** January 10, 2014, 08:58:51 AM

Joe also spoke up, even though he was facing a potted plant.

"Yea, we all feel that perhaps you were forced into it, we just wanna help. And you smell strangely... Potted."

Zoroark facepalmed at Joe's comment and looked into Trak's eyes. The gaze... It was the same with that other girl... Sakura... He slowly sniffed at the toasted bun treat. Then took a small bite.

"You can't help me... My life is bounded by the heavy chains of fate..."

Quickman · **Reply #1245 on:** January 10, 2014, 09:05:51 AM

Trak gave a shrug. "I can certainly try. Fate has led me to a lot of weird stuff. Team Flare, Lysandre, world devastation, rescuing abused Pokemon, Twoey..."

Runaway also spoke up. "Nous allons trouver qui a fait ça. Nous le trouverons, et nous allons l'écraser!" We will find who did this. We will find him, and we will crush him! He then extended his hand. "Je suis désolé pour la bataille. Je sentais qu'il y avait pas d'autre moyen de passer à travers." I'm sorry for the battle. I felt there was no other way to get through.

White-Jet · **Reply #1246 on:** January 10, 2014, 09:09:25 AM

Apprentice also facepalmed at Joe's apparent...confusion before marching in and turning the trainer to where Zoroark is standing.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #1247 on:** January 10, 2014, 09:49:51 AM

Zoroark looked at Runaway's extended hand, and reached out of it. However, his vision suddenly showed his family... His wife... Tortured... His children... Experimented... Zoroark Howl'd in mental anguish, and retreated into his PokeBall again.

Joe heard the Howling, and turned in the general direction.

"What happened now!?"

Mirby · **Reply #1248 on:** January 10, 2014, 09:54:50 AM

"I'm still wondering what happened in the first place!" Taylor added from the doorway.

Quickman · **Reply #1249 on:** January 10, 2014, 10:07:45 AM

Trak raised an eyebrow and shrugged, standing. "Long story short, Runaway picked a fight with the Zoroark."

Runaway just stood there, mouth agape. Just before the Zoroark howled and retreated, there was a brief flash. In that flash, he saw something. Something horrible. Something, that if he had contact with the Zoroark for long enough, he may be able to chase it back to its source. The Alakazam glanced at Trak, ready to explain, but the more he thought about that brief flash, the more he saw, and the more he wanted to forget.

Too bad Alakazams never forget.
