 NicoNico was definitely not in a good mood.
"You blew your cover!" He hissed at Florandra.
He then turned to Andi, that Eevee.
"You have only yourself to blame for your death!"
He then mutated his arm and flung it forward in an attempt to impale the female Eevee.

 FlorandraFlorandra tilted as she listened to the two Eevees chatter. One sounded actualy decent and the other... not so much. However, when she heard Nico's voice, she cringed back. She hadn't known that they were Guild brats. Simply thought they were two random trespassers. Everything about her drooped and as she listened to the dark Weavile's attack on the female, she half-heartedly dropped from her perch and landed heavily in front of Kyle, towering over him.

 ~Kyle ~Andi
It all happened so quickly. As soon as Nico's appendage was in motion so was Kyle; turning away completely from his sister and attempting to run. Hard candy dropping from his mouth out of fear as he was stopped completely in his tracks by a gigantic steel bird. He was unable to bring himself to turn around to see the fate of his sister though; he was sure there was nothing left of her by that point.

NicoNico ceremonially lifted Andi's twitching body into the air, still impaled on his arm.
A series of bones blades then sprouted from the side on his arm, ripping Andi to shreds and spraying her pieces everywhere.
"Ah, it feels good to kill again!" Nico squealed.

FlorandraAlthough she couldn't see, the heavy breathing of the Eevee allowed her to easily pinpoint his location. "Pathetic child." she hissed through her beak. Without further ado she beat her wings a bit, wrapped her sharp talons around his small body and took flight. Higher and higher she flew, going up in such an angle that she was nearing the Guild of Sun, even though it was still a distance away. When at last she decided they were high enough, she dropped him. "Good-bye. Have a nice fall~ she chimed, listening for that wonderful scream.

NicoNico had completely vanished from sight.
"Damn you... DAMN YOU..." A voice muttered before it faded away.
Nico was gone again.

 Cerberus
The Houndour looked around as he trotted through the ruins, both excited and a little apprehensive about the eerie place, but the excitement won out when he came across what looked like an old courtyard with a slab of stone from some toppled wall lying across the middle. He hopped up onto the rock and brushed away some dusty debris with one paw, then sat down, a frown crossing his face as he stared determinetly into space. He just had to sit here and think evil thoughts, then sooner or later some diabolical idea would come to him! Yeah, that made perfect sense!
As he continued to sit and stare and think, the minutes rolled by in silence until the little dog was starting to lose his focus on his mission, and was starting to doze off when a breeze blew through the ruins, accompanied by a laugh. Cerberus' ears twitched and he looked around quickly for where the sound had come from, but he couldn't pick up on it, and before he could dismiss it as nothing a voice spoke.
"Well well, what's a Guild kid doing out in a place like this? It's dangerous here, you know..."
Cerberus jumped to his feet and looked around frantically again, but try as he might he just couldn't tell where that voice was coming from. "I... I don't care if it's dangerous! I'm going to become evil, and evil people don't care about danger!" he shouted back, trying to sound defiant; but still a little fear managed to creep into his tone.
The voice chuckled. "Is that so? Evil doesn't care about danger... You've certainly got a lot to learn, kid."
The Houndour bristled with indignation at this comment, and tried to growl menacingly but only managing to let out a sort of awkward whimper, luring another laugh from the voice.
"Well... who are you to tell me what I'm doing wrong?" he called angrily.
"Hmm, who am I?" the voice said thoughtfully, then paused for a moment before continuing, "That's more of a subject to discuss later, but for right now... You seem like you might have some promise..."
At that, Cerberus blinked and stared in surprise, not understanding what the voice meant. First it was laughing at him, now it was saying he was promising? "What do you mean...?"
"I mean I might be able to help you get what you want. 'Evil'."
The voice was completely matter-of-fact as it said this, and Cerberus hesitated for a minute. This... whoever this was was offering to help make him evil? Well, it did seem like a pretty cruel person from what he'd... uh... not-seen of it so far. Maybe it really could teach him...
"Well... what's the catch? You can't be willing to do this for free." he asked, glancing suspicously around him again.
"Hmm..." the voice trailed off and left him in silence for a minute, and he'd almost started to think it had left when it spoke up again. "I don't really need anything for teaching you, I only need you to follow through on all your lessons, and don't ask too many questions..."
Here he was, being given a chance to actually become evil at the instruction of someone who really seemed to know what they were doing, and all he had to do was just do what the voice said? How could he say no to something like that? "S-sure! I'll do it!" he cried, an excited grin crossing his face as his little tail wagged.
He could almost... feel the voice smiling from wherever in the shadows it was, and when it spoke next it was with an almost business-like air.
"Good. Well then, first lesson. You need to get yourself bigger and stronger if you're going to indimidate anyone, so you'll need to go do that."
Cerberus paused, frowning in confusion. "But... how do I do that? Just train?"
The voice sighed. "Training comes later. Evolve, kid."
The Houndour's face lit up with understanding, and he nodded quickly. "Oh! Sure, I can go do that!" he said, then turned and almost started running back to the Guild when he stopped himself and looked back around. "But um... what do I do after that?"
"Just get a feel for being a Houndoom, and wait. I'll contact you in the next few days." the voice said, and Cerberus nodded again with a grin.
He started bounding away to go back to the Guild, but at the entrance to the ruins the voice spoke up again and he skidded to a halt, looking back in confusion. "By the way kid... what's your name?"
"Cerberus." he said brightly, then with a final respectful nod sprinted off, so excited that he felt he might just explode.
In the shadows of the ruins a pair of bright red eyes slowly appeared, watching the Houndour as he disappeared down the road, then the voice chuckled. "Cerberus... well that's a fitting coincidence."

Chris---Toxic---Acid
Sitting cross-legged on one of the collapsed ruins, a familiar Gallade was starring off into nothing with an almost crazed look on his face.
"I think you've broken him, dearest sister of mine. With your news of those mercenaries~"
"Well, darling brother, I think he was broken before~"
"Will you two shut up?" The trenchcoat wearing fighting-type snapped, leaping rom his perch.
"I'm trying to figure out what to do."
"Kill them of course~""Slaughter them all~"
The two Eeveelutions giggled in hysterics, causing the Gallade to roll his eyes, before finally he flashed an insane smile.
"Ah..haha...why didnt I think of this before. If the moon guild isnt any help in killing them, then maybe we seek the services of a group that can!"
"As long as that precious Umbreon is mine, I do not care who kills the others~"
"Yes,yes! Clever plan, Chris~"
The two eeveelutions sang out in chirper voices, laughing maniacally.

 Vito's GameFirst Test
Frito
"Ugh..."
The Weavile slowly opened his eyes.
He was greeted with the bright light of a single lightbulb inside the room.
When Vito tried to move, he found that his arms were bound and he was being suspended from a short ceiling.
As his vision adapted he realized that there was a respiration mask covering his mouth and nose.
"What... the hell...?" He muttered.
Looking around frantically, he saw that there were two slabs of metal on either side of his body.
There was also some kind of collar around his neck.
He also noticed a tall sealed cage.
Inside was a small, unconscious red Sneasel.
"Hey, kid! Kid!" Vito yelled.
Frito slowly opened his eyes and looked around.
"Wh-Where is this that I am?!" He cried out.
Looking up at the top of the cage, he saw that it was covered in spikes pointing down.
Seeing this, he began to cry loudly.
"Dammit..." Vito hissed as he tried to move and squirm, but to no avail.
Suddenly, a neary TV turned on.
After a bit of static, the face of a puppet appeared.
"No..." Vito whispered.
"Hello, Vito... I want to play a game. My game has three rounds, and should you survive them all, you will be granted freedom. Welcome to your first test. You've wasted so much of your potential time on this planet with your constant smoking. Even after being diagnosed with lung cancer, you continue to smoke. Now, the very thing that you have taken for granted, is the only lifeline the young Sneasel before you has. Air. Every time you take a breath, the top on his cage will lower. When the timer on the wall expires, the two metal blocks on your sides will come together, crushing you between them. The only way to stop your timer is to make the top of the other Pokemon's cage drop to the bottom. Rest assured, all of the Pokemon you will encounter in this game have had all of their moves disabled, so no cheating will occur. At the end of this game, you will find yourself face to face with an old friend. Live or die, Vito. Make your choice..."
The tape then stopped, the TV turning itself off.
Suddenly, a bright timer on the wall Vito could see began, reading two minutes.
As it began to count down, Vito took in a deep breath and held it.
This kid had his whole life ahead of him, he wasn't going to selfishly kill him to save his own life!
He held it in for ten, fifteen, twenty seconds.
Suddenly, his bad lungs began to react.
Unintentionally, Vito broke out into a coughing fit.
The top of the cage began to lower, the coughing causing it to go down a good three feet.
Frito let out a scream of terror, curling up into a ball and wailing.
Vito quickly took in another breath and held it in.
It was to no avail, though.
Another coughing fit broke out, and the top lowered even more.
It was now hovering right above poor Frito.
"GOD DAMMIT!!!" Vito shouted, causing him again to break out into a coughing fit.
Frito let out a deathly scream as the top smashed down onto him, the sharp spike piercing his body.
The top dropped all the way, crushing the dying baby Sneasel under it.
Vito just stared in horror as the timer on the wall stopped.
The shackles binding Vito suddenly opened, allowing the Weavile to fall to the ground.
The collar mentioned before stayed on him, though.
"I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry..." He choked to the puddle of blood that was forming at the base of the cage.
He staggered to his feet, glancing around as if drunk.
He spotted a door with a red "?" painted on it.
Leon---&---Lucy
Vito closed the door behind him, pulling a small tripwire and causing all the lights in the room to turn on.
The room was small, and one wall had a huge window in the middle of it.
In front of the window was a small control panel with two buttons on it.
"Oh god..." Vito said when he noticed the buttons were each labeled "Lucy" and "Leon."
He looked into the window, seeing that on the other side, both Lucy and Leon were strapped to beds and struggling.
"Lucy! Leon!" The Weavile cried.
"Vito?! Is that you?!" Lucy yelped back.
Leon could sense Vito's Aura, so he knew it was him.
"I can't Teleport out! We need help!" He shouted.
Vito looked around for some answers, but instead found a tape recorder on a string hanging from the ceiling.
"Oh, ******** you..." Vito whispered.
He grabbed the tape recorder and pressed PLAY.
Right after he grabbed it, the string kind of sucked itself into the ceiling, triggering something.
The tape then began to play...
"Congratulations, you are still alive. I'm sure you are wondering about the collar around your neck. Well, that will be explained soon. But not now. Now is the time for your second test. You'll be happy to know that in this test, your own life is not at risk. However, the lives of our family are. Only one of them will leave this room, Vito. But which one? Will you choose the fighter? The adopted nephew who's soul purpose is to beat down other Pokemon for his own gain? Or will you choose Lucy, the kind doctor who has saved countless lives? Hovering above each of these candidates is a bladed pendulum. When the timer above the window counts down to zero, both will drop, slicing the Pokemon below clean in half. The two buttons before you are to choose who's pendulum will not fall. Live or die. Make their choice."
The timer on the wall started at one minutes, and began ticking downward.
Leon was the first one to speak.
"Vito! If you pick me, I swear to Arceus, I'll ******** murder you! You choose Lucy! You get my sister out of here!" He screamed.
Lucy just choked up and began crying.
Leon was so quick to sacrifice himself for her... A true brother.
Vito just sighed and nodded, hesitating only a little bit before he pressed the button marked "Lucy."
Metal bands wrapped themselves around the pendulum above Lucy, making sure it would never fall.
Leon closed his eyes and awaited his fate.
Suddenly, they opened again, and his pupils began dots.
He began to hiss and shake, flailing about on the bed.
"You're not dying yet..."
The Lucario flailed and roared until the shackles binding him shattered.
He quickly rolled off of the bed, just barely missing the pendulum as it fell.
Lucy's shackles popped open, and she immediately ran to Leon, who was unconscious.
He cradeled his head in her arms and cried.
"Find a way out of here!" Vito shouted.
Lucy nodded and sucked in her tears.
She lifted Leon onto her shoulders and went out a door on her side of the room.
Vito growled and turned to the next door, kicking it open and going inside.
Third Test
Neri
In the final room, Neri found himself looking at a face that he did in fact find familiar.
A Staraptor from the old Fire and Ice Guild name Neri.
She was strapped into a chair, an idle buzzsaw at the back of her neck.
Her beak was taped shut.
Vito didn't even want to speak.
He just grabbed the nearby tape recorder and played it, not even bothering to look at Neri's face.
"Welcome to your final test. As a doctor, you know that you can't save every patient. The patient before you does not need saving. Let her go, and your life will be spared. The collar around your neck contains plastic explosives. There is also a switch on the wall with two choices. Choose live, and Neri's life will be spared, at the cost of your own. Choose die, and your life continue. Before you choose though, take this into consideration. Neri has no family, and no loved ones. She will not be missed. You however, will be. Many Pokemon value you, and their lives will be crushed if you are. Killing Neri will destroy one life, but killing yourself will destroy several. Let the game begin."
Vito grabbed the switch almost immediately.
"I'm sorry, Neri... Lloyd needs me..." He said softly.
He flipped the switch up to "Die."
The collar around his neck suddenly popped off.
However, when he looked at Neri, he didn't see the bloodbath he expected.
Instead, the ceiling began to open up, and Neri's binds were released.
Ripping the tape from her beak, the Staraptor smirked.
"Congratulations, you succeeded. Now, go and apply the lessons you learned today."
Vito just stood in shock as Neri spread her wings and flew away.
Staring blankly at a door, he walked over and pushed it open.
Sunlight greeted him as he stepped out into the ruins of the Fire and Ice Guild.
"Lloyd.... Lloyd...." He whispered as he hobbled in the direction of the hospital.

Jasper---Rynka
The Raichu stepped slowly over broken stones, avoiding the sharp edged rocks that had once been some form of pillar.
He glanced around with that one eye lazily, wondering why he'd come in the first place.
"I'd say its been awhile, but...it hasnt...not really..." A soft female voice purred from above.
Jasper didnt even lift his head, he knew who it was.
"Rynka..."
Perched above him on one of the fallen roof slopes, a small chocolate-colored Pikachu peered down with bright green eyes.
"Jasper. How are you?"
"...fine. I suppose. I...you...what are you doing here?"
He felt strangely uncomfortable, concerned to a point where he didnt even ask the question he'd really wanted to.
"Just passing through." The Pikachu replied with a knowing smile before dropping down to ground level, gracefully.
"Yes, he's yours."
Bomb dropped, hit the deck.
"B-buh...I'm...."
"Relax, Jasper. I know you didnt know about it. I knew you left for some other reason, and I dont hold that against you."
"...why didnt you try to find me?"
"...dear heart, you had just lost everything. So broken. Who was I to add another weight to your shoulders?"
The Raichu felt overwhelmingly guilty then. She had...been protecting him, while he had been running like a coward, but that wasnt even the bulk of the guilt.
The bulk was over the fact that he did...in fact...really like this Pikachu, but...
As if hearing his thoughts Rynka smiled.
"I know. I will always come second to your lovely Gardevoir ghost, but understand this...there is no rule against loving again. When you finally come to terms with it, come find me. I'm extremely patient~"
The Pikachu closed her eyes in thought before walking past him, tail lingering to brush under the Raichu's chin before she sauntered off, leaving him with his thoughts.

He had no clue what kind of Pokemon Neri had become, but she wasn't the shy, robotic Pokemon she once was.
Hell no.

Neri isnt like that."Memories flickered up of a small Pikachu chattering away to a Staraptor near a pool. The bird was shy, kind, he couldnt imagine her any other way. Lloyd walked up and glanced about. "This place is depressing."Ignoring him Jasper leapt onto a fallen pillar and surveyed the area.

"She might not have been pulling the strings, but she was definitely involved..." He said.
A dark cackle then resonated through the ruins.
"She has changed. I've watched her~"
