Cass shivered as she walked, glancing fearfully into the darkness that the Flash didn't reach. She stayed close to Flaffy ad Will, not wanting to get lost. "Hey Will, how long will it take to get though here?" Cass quesetioned, her voice strong instead of the timid squeaks she was sure were going to come out.
Normally, she wasn't scared of the dark. She loved the night! But it was pitch black in the tunnel, and you could never be sure what was lurking about. Itlest outside you had the moon and the stars...

Though it was dark, the light from the Mareep seemed to be scaring off any Pokemon that normally would have attacked the intruders. Will looked thoughtfull for a moment. "Hm, I don' rightly know... Never thought abou how long it took before... But, it did seem to be a while. Just keep walkin and we'll be there before you know it," he replied after a moment.
It was quiet in the tunnel, yet the sound of footsteps could faintly be heard. And they weren't coming from Will or the Mareep, or even Cass. They seemed to be farther off... 'thump, flump, poof, thum, thimp, thump'. Will and Flaffy didn't seem to hear the noise. [/sub]

Cass sighed, wanting to get out of the tunnel as soon as possible. She wasn't sure why she was so scared though. 'I'm just being paraniod.' She thought, forcing herself to relax. there's nothing out there that will attack!
Cass' eyes widened at the far off sound of footsteps, and she shuddered, looking about wildly in the dark. "What's that noise?" She questioned, moving a bit quicker so she was standing closer to Will. Grim member or ont, he was the only other person there.

But Cass was wrong, Will wasn't the only other person there. A younger man than Will stepped out of a side tunnel that Will and Cass had walked past just a second before. He was wearing the blood-red uniform sporting the black emblem of the Grim.
He laughed at the sight of Cass and the older man. "So, I guess that I've finally found the little brat who blew up our machine," he said. "I was surprised that it was so easy, but I guess I shouln't have been," he added maliciously.
Will looked quite surprised at the sudden appearance of the Grim member, even though he didn't know who he was. But, his shock quickly turmed to anger at the younger man's tone, and at his words.
"I don' know who the heck you are young man, but I don' like yer atittude!" Will said angrily, stepping in font of Cass. A bea of sweat found its way down the side of his face. He could tell that the Grim member was ruthless, and evil. But, he wouldn't let the man harm Cass!
"Pathetic old fool! I shall destroy you as well!" the Grim member yelled. "You shall never forget the name of Donnie!" At those words he grabbed two pokeballs and released a Beedrill and a Croconaw.
"Cass, can you defeat the Beedrill? Let me worry about that Croconaw!" Will said as he sent his Mareep before him. The Electric-type was still using Flash, but he wasn't nervous at all about the battle. "Use Thunderbolt!" Will commanded.
Flaffy obeyed, unbleashing a powerfull bolt of electricity at the Water-type. The attak hit, and the Croconaw fell back, angered by the large amount of damage done. He used a Water-Gun without listening for an order.
"Alright, Beedrill, use Twinneedle on the little brat!" he ordered his Bug-type. The Beedrill rushed at Cass, not even worrying if she had a Pokemon out or not. Somehow, the Flash was still working even though the Mareep was involved in the battle against the Croconaw.
Opponents:
Beedril- Lv. 10
Croconaw- Lv. 20

Cass froze in fear, her eyes widening at the site of the Grim member. No, how had they found her?! She shot a glance at Will, but as he moved to protect her, she knew he was innocent. She shook her fear away and glared darkly at the Grim member, Donnie. "What you were doing was criminal!" She hissed, taking a step forward. "I'm glad I blew the machine up!
Cass looked to Will, her glare melting away as she nodded. "I got him!" Cass turned to glare at Donnie again, but she froze in fear again, the Beedrill barreling toward her. She wasn't fast enough, it was going to attack her!
Cass flinched, raising her arms up to defend herself as the Beedrill came closer. But her eyes widened as a red light flew from her bag and Tokala appeared in front of her. <How dare you try to hurt Cass?!> He growled, launching himself at the Beedrill with a Tackle attack in an effort to defend her.

Donnie cursed when the Eevee came out of his pokeball and protected Cass, his Beedrill reeling back from the Tackle's blow. "Dang you stupid noble Pokemon!" he yelled, frustrated. He had lost the chance to kill the girl quickly. But, all that he had to do was win the battle.
Will nearly yelled out when he saw the Beedrill flying at Cass, knowing that he wouldn't be able to stop he attack. Bu he sighed quite relieved when Tokala came out of his pokeball and defended her. He nodded, returning his attention to his battle.
The Water-Gun hit the Mareep, but was absorbed into his wool coat. He laughed at the pathetic attack. The sheep Pokemon knew what command was coming next, and used Signal Beam. She released a blinding beam of light from the gem on her tail. The attack, besides damaging the Croconaw, also confused him.
The Water-type let out an angy cry and wobbled around dizzily. After a bit, he ran at the Mareep baring his fangs in a Bite attack. Theattack hit, but the Mareep was still mostly okay. the Electric Pokemon was obviously a higher level than the Croconaw.
"Grr, Croconaw, listen to me next time! Now, Beedril, use Poison Sting!" Donni yelled, angry himself. The Beedrill rushed at Tokala, his poisonous stingers leading the way.

Cass sighed in relief as Tokala's attack connected, knocking the Beedrill away. She grinned at her Eevee, her voice filled with pride. "Thank you, Tokala!"
Tokala grinned and nodded before turning to face the Beedrill again.
"Okay, dodge it" Cass commanded, her fear beginning to vanish. "Go in for another Tackle!" She paused at looked to Will, grinning. His battle was going well.
Tokala dodged the incoming attack, jumping behind the Beedrill. He let out a low hiss before attacking the Bug type wih Tackle from behind.

Tokala's tricky attack hit the Beedrill, sending him crashing to the ground, hard. It was a double-critical hit! The added blow from the ground made the already powerfull attack more so. The Beedrill buzzed weakly, then took a leaf from the Croconaw's book and attaked without being commanded.
The Bug-Type struck at the Eevee with both of his stingers, trying to score a hit with his Twinneedle attack!
"Come on Flaffy, use another of your Thunderbolts!" Will commanded. The Grim member wasn't really all that strong, and it was quite clear that his Pokemon did not trust him at all. The Thunderbolt again strck the already weakened Water-type. He felt the electricity coursing through his body, nearly paralyzing him.
The Croconaw could also feel his ability beginning to take effect, and knew that his next attack would be nearly double in power. He used another Water-gun, blasting it at the Mareep.
"You stupid Pokemon..." Donnie grumbled to himself, beginning to see how hopeless the battle was for him to win. [/sub]

Cass smirked at the weaken Beedrill before grinning at Donnie. There was no way he would win! "Tokala, take the hit!" Cass yelled, pumping her fist. She would win, and then she would interrogate that supid Grim member! He might know where Drake was! This thought just fueled her desire to win more, and her grin widened.
Tokala nodded, yelpingat the Twin Needle attack connected. He glared at the Beedrill, crouched and ready to counter.
"Now, use Tail Whip!" Cass cried, pointing forward at the Beedrill.
Tokala yipped, grinning as he whipped his tail about.

The Beedrill felt his defense weakening but didn't give too much thought to it. He just used another Poison Sting at the Eevee, fueled by his recent hit.
Donnie, however, wined angrily, realizing that the Poisonous Pokemon probabally wouldn't be able to withstand another hit. He knbew the same for his Croconaw.
The Mareep actually spluttered as the most recent attack hit her square in the face, water entering her lungs. She couged, then growled angily at the Water Crocodile Pokemon. She obeyed the next command given by Will, releasing yet another Signal Beam. The bright attack again blinded the Croconaw. This time, however, the Pokemon didn't attack. [/sub]

Tokala jumped forward, taking the Poison ASting and allowing it to enter his body. It didn't matter to him. He knew he had won. He grinned and awaited Cass' words.
Cass was also grinning, and she nodded to herself. "Go, Tokala! Finish it with Tackle!"
Tokala charged forward, going as fast as he could to make he attack as forceful as possible.

The Tackle attack struck, and Tokala was right. The attack did its job. In a second the Beedrill was lying unconcious on the ground. Donnie recalled him angrily, glaring at the ball as he put it on his belt.
"Finish it with yer Tackle!" Will cried out, happy that Cass had won. The Mareep's Tackle hit and the already too badly weakened Coconaw fainted as well, and was returned with the same anger and grumbling as the Beedrill.
The Grim member, knowing that he could not win without a Pokemon, turned on his heel and ran. "Hah, well at least that traitor friend of yours is getting what he deserves!" Donnie yelled out as he disappeared into the astonishing darkness.
Luckily, the Flash still worked strong, and Will shook his head and looked around nervously. "We had better keep movin... I don' know what he was talkin abou' but and enemy of jerks like them is a friend of mine. Come on, hurry!" he said. The old farmer began to walk onward, Flaffy the Mareep again leading the way.
Tokala gains 2 levels for Beedrill, and 1 level for Croconaw! [/sub]

Cass paled at Donnie's words, her eyes widening. "Drake..." She whispered, a shiver of fear running through her. "Please... Please be okay..." She took, a deep, shuddery breathe, smiling lightly as Tokala batted his head against her leg comfortingly.
"Return, Tokala." Cass said, having dug his pokeball out of her bag. The red light swiftly encased the Eevee, snd she placed his pokeball safely back in her bag.
She sighed and began trailing after Will again, head bowed.

As Will and Cass advanced, he turned to her, his face lit by the flickering light of Mareep's Flash. A friendly smile was apparent, his eyes creased with some sort of dignified smirk. "You were sure heroic back there little lady. I can't say that I expected you to be so strong." The old farmer complimented as the two walked on.
Attempting to make small talk, Will started up again. "So little lady, what did that man want with ye'? One of your ex-boyfriends?" Will ended with a light chuckle. "Or was it something else? He sure was dressed weird." Will added gruffly, the man's identity a rather puzzling mystery to him.

Cass blushed at the compliement, smiling up at the man. "I've gotta be strong, I-" She paused, her fists clenching. "I promised someone I would become strong."
At Will's next words, she debated on tellling him. Eventually, she said, "I didn't know that guy, but I do know who he works for. "Cass gritted her teeth, holding back the urge to growl as she thought of the Grim. "They're known as The Grim. Not to long ago, I got caught up in their schemes when they kidnapped three Shinx. I followed him, and I met up with the Professor and a companion of hers, Eia." She paused, unconciously clenching her fists.
"The Grim... They were using a machine to turn Pokemon into Demon Pokemon!" Cass stopped walking holding back tears. "The ones that survived the experiment, they turned feral-wild, and would attack anything." Cass shuddered and began walking forward again. "I've only encountered one before, but... That was enough."
