Silent Little Warrior

"I can't believe someone would do that to you," Gohan stated.

Thunder glanced up and nodded slightly. He wrote down on the ground with his tail, since he couldn't talk. He didn't want Dark to have to keep speaking for him, he might not be able to talk, but he could write. As long as he was silent, there was no harm that could fall upon him, right? Right.

'I couldn't believe it either.. You guys haven't even seen the worse of it yet.. It gets.. Worse. A lot worse..'

Gohan tried to manage his anger, making a fist.

"What else happened?"

(That moment when your internet refreshes itself while you're on another tab replying and you had a book and then you gotta go and re-type it?

Yeah.. It happened here.. XD.

Eh, I'll re-type it and add more to it when I get back on I suppose? XD.)

(Sounds good and I gave you a book on 'The Adventure of a Life Time'.)

He pointed up as if to say, 'Watch and see'.

Thunder was carried to another room and thrown onto the ground, trying not to let out a yelp as he didn't want to get in anymore trouble than he already was. He glanced up, shaking slightly when he saw the older Pokémon standing over him, wondering what was going to happen to him.

"It will be over quick little one," the other said.

He went over and grabbed a whip with in his tail, cracking it a few times against the air, and watched as the smaller one's eyes widened in fear. When the whip was brought back again, the Electric-type shut his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain that was about to come. It hit its mark, making him cry out in pain, earning him a glare from the older one. Every time he would cry out, or make any sort of sound for that matter, he was whipped harder, which would make him cry more. However, soon he just kept quiet, digging his small paws into the ground to keep from making noises.

Once done, the cat-like Pokémon put the whip away, and looked at the damage that had been dealt. The little Pikachu had a lot of blood on him that was for sure. His left eye was shut, blood running down it, no doubt going to leave a scar there. His left ear and arm were bleeding as well. He sighed and went over and gently picked up the smaller one, petting him on the head softly.

"Little one," he cooed at the trembling Pokémon in his paws, "you're going to have to learn one way or another. This is one of the ways to get you to learn for Leo and Zeena as you're going to be their's once you're broken. You need to learn someway or another. Silence will keep you alive, silence must become your friend, you must embrace it. Every little noise or sound you make, you WILL be punished. I suggest you learn fast little one. For your sake."

With that, he took Thunder to a room, patched him up, than laid him down onto some sort of bed.

"Get some sleep kid. Tomorrow, training starts."

Everyone continued to watch, getting angry.

Everyone watched in absolute terror and horror.

Thunder glanced down at the ground at this.

Gohan hugged him tightly.

He returned the hug.

"I am so sorry." Gohan stated.

Thunder frowned and shook his head, as if to say, 'It's not your fault. Don't be sorry.'

"Still..."

He frowned, and hugged him tightly.

Three days this went on. Three very long days. Then, the Pyroar descided to chain him up and let him explore the den. Thunder looked around the den, and since he was allowed to move around, he took the time to do just that.

'I guess this place isn't all that bad. It's a nice place, if only the Pokémon here were nice..' he thought.

He glanced up, watching Leo and Zeena walk out of the den, leaving him alone, which would explain why they chained him up so he couldn't get away. Dark appeared beside the Pikachu, looking both sad and mad at the same time.

"Those bakas," he growled. "Don't this to a child.."

'Why do you care anyway?' Thunder asked through their mind-link. 'I thought you were just going to take me over when you get stronger and take over the world?'

The black-and-white Mew looked away at that. "Pokémon change. Besides, with you here--"

The Pikachu smiled. 'You care and just don't want to admit it.'

"So what if I care?"

Thunder wrapped his paws around the cat-like Pokémon. 'It's nice to see that you do, Dark. It's good to know that I have a friend during all this.. You know?'

"I guess."

The Pikachu shook his head, letting go of his friend, before looking around again.

'What do we do?'

"We could try to escape."

'Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, last time..'

"We'll plan it out and make sure you'll be able to get away with this. Until then, be strong okay?"

Thunder nodded.

They all watched in silence.

Gohan was in shock, trying not to cry.

The little Pikachu pat him on the back.

Gohan kept Thunder close.

The little Pikachu hugged him, glancing back up at the memory thing.

While Dark was off, Thunder went and looked around the den some more. It was the only thing he could really do at the moment anyway. The cavern was huge, and full of many different Pyroar. The little Electric-type did his best to stay away from the larger Pokémon, as he didn't trust them. The Fire-type's glared hungrily at him, and he back away, ears pinned back.

They stepped toward him.

"Lets PLAY!"

Thunder shook his head, and took another few steps away from the Fire-types.

"Fools! Leave my pet alone!" Zeena snarled.

They went away, leaving him alone as she ordered. He let out a silent sigh of relief. She cuddled him, licked him all over, then sent him to explore some more. Thunder glanced up at her before he went off to see what else he could find.

There wasn't much as he could do in the den, and let out another quiet sigh. This was going to be a very long stay.

Gohan had tears in his eyes from the display.

The little Pikachu frowned and wiped them away with a paw.

'Don't cry,' he mouthed.

Gohan trembled.
