Days must of passed, but for I knew I could of been a few weeks. Time seemed to drag by and with nothing to do other then plan ways of escape then figure out why they'd fail or try to stretch my cramped muscles in the shoebox like cage I was given, things were looking bleak. My nightmares kept me from sleeping as well as my general distain for sleeping in a situation where I was being held prisoner, anything could happen and I hated to leave myself venerable by sleeping, not to mention, let the members of this twisted team witness me having a nightmare. Night only showed up for small periods of time before disappearing again for reasons she wouldn't tell me which left me completely alone most the time. The only other time I wasn't alone was when a grunt came in to feed me three times a day, a few times I'd planned on jumping them and running but the grunts always came in with one of their corrupted Mega Scizzor and on my own I stood no chance. I only really had one chance to get out of here, if I failed it might make the leaders of this organisation take away what little comfort I had right now, namely the warm food and blanket. The food never got any better then the first meal I had here but it didn't get worse either, often bland and flavourless but edible all the same.

My nightmares weren't making this situation better either. Almost every time I closed my eyes I was tortured by the horrors of things from my past or forced to watched my loved ones die. Twice I'd gone up to the Legendary Castle only to find no rest there as it continued to fall to pieces. Night was nowhere to be seen both times, though I was told that Arceus was furious with her about something so she was hiding most likely. Both times I'd been hoping to see Melody who was still with Silver and Red thankfully, since she could most likely trace me to here, even though I apparently had a guardian angel doing the exact same thing but I still didn't know who to expect for that. It seemed like everything in my life was getting further from me while I was unable to do anything about it. The only thing I had in my favour was the Pokéball I still had in my pocket. I didn't know who's it was since I was afraid I was being watched and taking it out would probably mean it would be taken away and when the chance of escape did come up, having any of my Pokemon with me would make for higher chance of escape. Even if it was Trixie, Petunia or Dreamer. The only problem was, how to get out of this damned cage?

The bars were to narrow for me to reach to far through, and even if I could the lock needed both a key and a passcode, I had neither. My only real option was try and trick someone into letting me out but I couldn't escape with the corrupted Mega's being around when ever anyone else was. The only time I got to come out of the cage was for 5 minutes to go to the bathroom two or three times a day which was never long enough for me to get enough strength to be able to use my powers, no matter how hard I would try, the most I'd ever been able to do was heal the gash on my head.

I sighed and rubbed my temples from the headache I was giving myself. I had no idea how much time I had left before this organisation would do something to me. Why I was here, I still no idea. I had been hoping that someone would clear that up but no one had. I just hope it had nothing to do with anything in this room which I'd gotten a closer look at during one of my guarded trips to the bathroom which was in the corner of the room I was in. I didn't even know what half the things were for but even looking at them sent chills down my spine. Equipment I didn't even recognise that looked like something for a futuristic si-fi movie laid neatly on the benches in the corner of the room. Once a grunt caught me looking at the equipment, debating in my head if anything could be used to escape but before I could even get a good look at anything, the Scizzor he had with him forced me towards the small bathroom, putting an end to that plan.

I pulled my blanket closer around me and sighed. This wouldn't work. Until someone came to rescue me I was a damsel in distress again. Which I hated more then anything. The sound of the door opening caught my attention and I opened my eyes to see the cage door opening and an all to familiar face showed up in the opening.

"Shadow." I hissed, glaring at him.

He chuckled and took a step back, leaving the opening exposed. "Come out when your ready my dear. We need to 'talk'."

I eyed the opened cage door before cautiously climbing out, using the cage for support while glaring at Shadow. I was about to say something when Shadow interrupted me.

"Before you say anything, you are going back in there and I will make you my dear."

I glared at him. "Fine, whatever. I thought we had a deal though?"

"We did." Shadow shrugged. "But unlike our previous encounters, I am not the in charge of this organisation, so therefore have no control over the matters concerning you."

I crossed my arms and glared at him. "I know you're a bad guy and all but I at least expected you to be able to keep your word."

"So is that what you're referring to me as my dear, a 'bad guy'?" Shadow smirked.

"Well you have tried to kill me twice in the past, and have succeeded before, I'm being held in a cage that is clearly to small for me after your evil organisation kidnapped me, so yes Shadow, you are a 'bad guy'." I spat at him.

Shadow let out a chuckle. "Well my dear, as I said, I would of gladly left you out of this. Despite everything that goes on between you and I, I have somewhat grown to respect you. Not just as as a trainer, but as the Voice of Purity as well."

"I don't know whether to be disgusted or flattered about that." I sneered.

"Not in a very present mood are we my dear?"

"Stop with the fucking my dear crap already, it's getting kind of old and no I'm not in the most 'pleasant mood' because in case you've forgotten, I am currently a prisoner and being held in a cage that it clearly to small for me." I growled, gesturing to the cage that wasn't even half my hight.

Shadow snorted. "I can make it smaller if you like. My patience with you is already wearing thin, so I suggest you shut that smart little mouth of yours and listen to me, otherwise I have no reason to waste my time here and you can go back into the cage until 'the leader' of this group decides it's time to use you for what you've been brought here for which I can guarantee for you will be painful for you."

I glared at him but didn't say anything. I was trying to focus enough power into an attack for me to possibles get out here, but in all honesty, I wanted to hear what Shadow wanted.

"As I'm sure you' do realised, Team Prosperity is much different to other what you refer to as 'evil organisations'..."

"I might have." I rolled my eyes.

Shadow narrowed his eyes at me but continued. "Our ideals are different from most of those criminal low life's."

"What do you call yourself then? Last time I check, kidnapping is illegal."

"Would you keep quiet already." Shadow glared. "In case you haven't realised it yet, I am trying to help the best I can without jeopardising my own ideals, I am going out of my way here to do something that I will gain nothing from."

"Who says I need your help, or that I even want it? I hate you, and you hate me. How do I know you won't go back on it you did last time, you know, the deal you made with me that as long as I didn't involve myself, I wouldn't be dragged into all this shit again. I have enough problems with the asshole I have to call my father I do not need this shit to." I spat.

Shadow sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You are a very stubborn teenager, you know that right?"

"I've been told." I rolled my eyes. "Maybe I wouldn't be so stubborn if I wasn't in this situation in the first place."

Shadow was obviously getting pissed off. He check his watch and sighed. "Well since you can't keep your mouth shut for five minutes, I have my own business to attend to. Are you going to behave and go back into your cage quietly, or shale I have Darkrai use Dark Void on you? I don't care either way."

I glared at him and huffed before turning back to the shoebox like cage. I crawled back into and crashed my arms while Shadow closed the door and locked it. "I really didn't want it to end up this way Emma."

I couldn't help but chuckle for a moment. "So you do know my name, I was beginning to doubt it."

Shadow paused a moment before he smirked. "What would make you think that my dear?"

"And it's gone." I rolled my eyes while Shadow started to leave.

"I have no doubt you'll try and escape, but until you do, keep your Absol well hidden until them. You weren't exactly the most secretive about switching it for an empty one."

My hand subconsciously touched my pocket with my Pokèball in it. So I had taken Guardian with me. That was good, I could use her to escape... By the sounds of it that's what Shadow wants... I do not get him at all...

Well if I've learned one thing from all this it's that bad guys are almost as confusing as brothers are.
