He won! I can’t believe he won! Haha! The Shadow is amazing!
Oh? I can hear him being dragged this way.
“No, over here…yeah, my cell bud…is over *yaaaawn* here…”
Cell bud? Me? Does he not realize I’m a girl? Well…I don’t quite fit the bill. I’m tall and flat, and being here for so long must make me look really ragged. Wait, why am I getting depressed? With this, he won’t think about messing with me!
The guards throw him into my cell and leave. I can hear the snores coming from Shadow as soon as he hit the floor.
Somewhere during his sleep, he grabbed onto my leg again! How does he do that?!

Mmmm…good sleep. It smells good.
“Could you stop sniffing my leg?”
You know, this guy’s voice makes him sound really young. Why are the kids these days so tall?!
I gotta get up off of…
“Who are you again?”
“T…Kat. Just Kat.”
“Oh, like the comedian?”
I get off of Katt and look around. Same old depressing cell. But there is a TV! How come I didn’t know about this?! Oh, maybe it’s because I caused problems as soon as I got here.
I begin doing stretches and convince Katt to do it as well.
“Why?”
“So when I break out, I don’t have to carry you.”
He got to work fast after I said that. Right, I would hate to be carried by another dude also. But if a pretty girl did, hmmm…
Anyways, I have no way to contact my subordinates, although luckily my poképal was on the table and not captured by these assholes.
----------------------------------------
Time passes, it must have been a week after I beat that fighting type guy. I am subjected to multiple studies and experiments where I also have a little exercise I must complete. During free time, we tell the others to cooperate and learn to use their powers.
This way, we can be ready for the chance to cause problems.
Unfortunately, any plans we make are quickly fixed since I am always surrounded by goons. But, I can tell Katt is having trouble.
“Hey, Shadow?”
“I keep telling you, it’s Cole. What’s up?”
“I’m scared. What if we can’t get out of here? What if we get brainwashed?”
“Well, brainwashing takes a while. True brainwashing, anyway. But trust me. Haven’t I already proven that these guys are weak?”
“But that’s just your perspective! We can’t destroy these bracelets like you can!”
“I know. So what have you learned on controlling your powers?”
“Well…I am a normal type, but my Moves are more like boosts. Harden, Sharpen, Double Team, and Meteor Punch are my Moves. Why?”
“Because, I was wondering what position you should be when you join my Team Rocket!”
“Ugh, not this again. Look, I am not joining a criminal syndicate!”
“Haha, then you owe me. By the way, you won’t have to worry about the bracelets.”
“Why not?”
Hehe, Katt is intrigued, now. He looks a little better after getting some food to eat. I have noticed the Warden keeps making passes at him, but from what I can tell, Katt refuses. Definitely straight.
I don’t know why I was worried. I know some gay guys. They were the only people to tell me how it is. Sometimes it’s good to hear your faults. Just not all the time. I may have gotten angry at that once…
Anyways,
“Because I can take care of the bracelets. I only need a few seconds of power to break your bracelet. And when that happens, you go and break other people’s bracelets. How about that?”
“Oh…yeah. But is there a better plan? That doesn’t involve wasting our time?”
“Naw, this is the best plan. If I help all these people, they might want to join me!”
“Ugh…”

“Mr. President, we have been notified of a security breach.”

The withered man slowly looks up from his computer screen, where a man with red hair was defeating a strong warrior using only his fists and the strange dark energy.
“From where?”
“We located the breach in the blueprints database. Whoever they are, they were looking for a specific location that belongs to us. We recognize the signature as the same one that Cole Fellman used before he was captured.”
“Those three brats again. Should have dealt with them before. Oh well. What can three squirts do? How is the first batch coming along, General?”
“Coming along nicely. We have managed to get them just below Subject 142, A.K.A. Gladiator’s CP.”
“Oh? So they are all around the 500 mark? Pokémon can still beat them, if they’re not careful.”
“Yes, but normal humans will stand no chance. We were planning on having Subject 142 be the mascot of the First Squad, but he failed.”
“Yes, that was evident by last week’s fiasco. Of course even if he had a type advantage, going against someone who’s twice as strong as you is stupid. How are the other test subjects?”
“They are cooperating thanks to the words of Subject 213, A.K.A. Shadow, A.K.A. Cole Fellman.”
“Hoh? So the people place a lot of trust in him, huh? Well, no matter what he has up his sleeves, we should be getting some good reports soon.”
“Yes sir. The scientists have already stated that their findings have grown by several fold. It is only a matter of time before we can start mass producing soldiers of 1000 CP.”
“Hehehe, this is going nicely.”

POV CHANGE
===========
Ohhhhhhhh…I’m bored…it’s almost time for another death match. We get to eat well since we are helping the scientists, and we even managed to get normal satellite shows for good behavior. Everyone is practicing nicely and getting stronger.
Even Katt’s hair has taken a frighteningly bright shade of golden blonde.
If I didn’t know any better, I would say he was a girl.
“I can hear you.”
“Oops. Well, it’s alright as long as you’re pretty.”
“Huh?!”
Wait, why are you freaking out like that? You’re throwing me off. Why are you blushing?! Shit! Why am I in a cell with a trap?!
Calm down, he has no chest. He has no chest.
“Ouch.”
“Whoops, sorry again. Wait, why are you upset?”
“Nothing. Just continue exercising. Leave me alone.”
Wow, must be those teenage hormones. I thought mine were bad.
There wasn’t anyone of worth beside Katt. Everyone else was too preoccupied with their own problems. But I plan to help. I think I have gotten so strong as to break the bracelet in one hit. This should be good for a couple seconds of power before the goons arrive.
I just wonder when would be a good time to start.
BOOM!
Eh?
CRASH!
Umm…I guess now?
Crack!
Off it goes. Shit, breaking my wrist is painful. But it’s not as bad as last time’s. I gather the power and quickly break Katt’s bracelet before running out of the cell and knocking the distracted guards out.
Katt is understanding and quickly runs to other cells. He hasn’t managed to understand the power control, but he has reduced the time it takes to fill up. Only thirty seconds!
I wait and gather my strength before moving on to other cells and guards.
I had spent several minutes before coming to a stop. I was hearing something that didn’t sound good.
Creak…
Boom…
I could hear far off sounds of battle, but what was that creaking noise?
CRASH!
Shit! A robot?!

A FUCKING ROBOT! It’s one of Team Rocket’s!
Eh? Fennis?
