The Kecleon shivered in fear. The smell of it excited Tisa.

Yes, now this is more like it! Pokemon will fear our names.

She strutted around with her partners, the street begging for them to keep their paws on them.

She smirked as she slowly walked towards the Kecleon, watching as he shivered, hiding behind the counter as he awaited whatever torture the villains had for him.

Is torturing this soul on the menu too? I wouldn't mind taking a bite out of that hunk of meat! He looks tasty! Tisa thought as she swiped her tongue over her muzzle, deep desire for food in her mind. Obviously.

" W-What do you want? W-would you villains happen to want to shop?" The Kecleon asked hopefully. His hope was about to be shattered, unfortunately.

Tisa couldn't believe he would even consider those words in his mind.

She swiped her tongue over her jaws in hunger. Another paw step closer to the meat sack.

" You know what we want, camouflage. I suggest you give us what we want before my friend here decides that you would look better as bacon." Skliros commented as he tipped the hat on his head towards the unsuspecting Kecleon.

Of course no one would expect an outlaw to just tip their hat at them. In fact, there was no outlaw like Skliros who would just have a hat like that with them.

The Kecleon shivered.

The Kecleon seemed to have some thought before his fear turned into pure bravery.

" The Starter Squad will capture you, just you wait! You're lucky I don't like fights, or else I would beat you to a pulp. I am way higher leveled than you. Don't expect all Kecleon to let this go unpunished. I swear that soon you will get the beating you deserve. Just you wait and see." The Kecleon informed them with valor.

Skliros laughed. " The Squad isn't near the level of my team. You should really watch your mouth."

It was as if none of them had a voice. Were they really just going to let Skliros do all the talking? It did ensure that they save their breath for the heist, but it also showed signs of weakness.

What are we thinking? Are we really so submissive to a dark-type of all Pokémon? They might be treated better than Hypno, but that doesn't mean we should obey this guy's every command. Does he have no mute button?

Tisa glances between the two other powerful Pokémon. Rau just blinked back at her, and Tudi still had that same stupid look in his eyes.

What did he see in that Darkrai that Tisa didn't?

Why couldn't he look at her in that way instead?

Skliros approaches the overpowered Pokémon. " Now. I believe I came here for groceries. Are you going to give them to us? Or do I need to make you suffer? It's the easy way or the tough way. Which will it be?" He wondered as he leaned over towards the striped chameleon.

The Kecleon leaned away, looking as if he could fall over at any minute.

He was sweating something fierce. It was obvious the Kecleon was more fear than he was bravery.

It was a good thing. It meant the tram got under his skin more than he let off.

Unfortunately it seemed as if the Pokémon was wasting their time. He was stalling.

" I don't know. Get your smelly breath away from my shop!" He growled as he waved a paw in front of his stores.

" Answer me you buffoon! I will not hesitate!" The Darkrai shouted as his eyes turned red somehow.

It turns out the red eyes was a sign that he was using Psychic.

He threw the uncooperative Pokémon against the brick wall of a nearby building.

Kecleon screamed in pain.

" Fine! I'll give you your stupid wares and items! Ugh! My back is gonna need a doctor after this." The Kecleon groaned as he stretched his back; it made a creaking sound. Bones.

The Kecleon lead them to the stores, rummaging through them with a paw.

He turned back to them, unwillingly. " What is it that you pirates need?" He wondered as he pulled out a few of his items, eyes full as he turned back around to the villains.

He tapped his foot, awaiting a response from the villains. He rapped his fingers together, seeming on edge.

Tisa wondered if he was hoping that the longer the villains took the sooner the squad would show up to arrest them.

In fact, it almost seemed like the Squad wasn't interested in chasing them much longer. It was taking them a while to respond to whoever it was. It has been approximately thirty minutes since they've arrived in the town.

It was such a surprising feat that they've been here this long without confrontation.

" Pirates? We don't go yo ho do we? I suggest you stop making fun of us before I decide you would look better with no stripe!" Tudi growled with anger.

Man he has such anger issues. What exactly did Pulse teach him? How to snarl how mad he is until the whole world hears?

Sometimes Tisa wondered if this guy was truly even a bad guy. He seemed like one, he just acted like a emo teen who thinks he evil.

Who would even act that way? A character in a galaxy far far away who wears black in an attempt to convince some psychic weirdos and their friends that he's evil, when he really is nicer than he seems, and then he goes and saves some person he doesn't even really know from his master, of whom convinced him to kill his father?

Man did the humans like to exaggerate the truth. Humans don't have psychic powers; Pokémon do though, and it seems like most psychic types enjoy solitude. Unlike those strange psychic humans.

Though that was only a story. The day when those so-called ' Force users' come down into their world would be a day when Tisa would hit herself in confusion.

Such entities didn't exist. It was scientific fact that the only humans who could use Psychic powers were Psychic type trainers, and even then they couldn't use the powers in great ways.

Skliros opened his jaws to speak.

" We need Apples, Gummis, Max Elixirs, Orbs. I'm sure you get what we need." Skliros commented before adding. " Your service is most appreciated."

The Kecleon seemed to snicker, as his tail lashed against his stand.

" Why do you need Gummis? To make yourselves smarter?!" He laughed as he hauled out the items the Darkrai has requested.

Skliros was pissed.

" To make ourselves smarter? I think you need them more than us. It seems that you judge us by how we act. I suggest you don't do it again. Otherwise..." the Darkrai began as his weird doll fist collided with the side of Kecleon's head.

The Pokémon grabbed his head like the Darkrai had tried unhinging it. It almost seemed that way.

He whimpered as he continued to grab the contents that they wanted and needed. " Sheesh. It was a joke. You're smarter than most Pokémon in this town. I think. Anyways, here's your stuff." The Kecleon growled as he put more items on the table.

The side of his face immediately had a mark on it from where Skliros attacked.

He got out the rest of the things before backing away, awaiting something with a flinch.

" Good man," Skliros complimented, patting him on his back, grabbing some of the goods that they were apparently being given.

He handed them to Tudi and Tisa who immediately placed them in their bags.

Rau shot her tongue out at the Kecleon, smacking him with the attack he seemed to be waiting for.

" Humph, weakling." The Black Greninja commented with solitude as she folded her arms.

Was she disappointed? Tisa had no idea why she folded her arms.

Such a mysterious Pokémon.

It makes you think...

Her thoughts were cut off by the Darkrai as he handed her more stuff. She almost missed them. She would have been insulted for sure if she did.

She swiftly grabbed them with realization of the task at hand, putting them in Her bag with repeated step.

The Kecleon held his face as the Darkrai took a step back. " That's it."

" We will be leaving now." The Darkrai informs the lizard, of whom sighs with relief.

He also was disappointed Tisa notes.

His eyes were glazed and he kept gazing off into the direction of the Squad.

Skliros turns around and Tisa and the others follow suit.

This is great! What a great heist! I was thinking that the squad would have come after us, or at least the police! Well, that was easier than expected. Better not question it. Tisa thought with an almost whine of happiness.

She took one step before her ears fell.

" Halt! In the name of the law!" Voices exclaimed with unison.

Thought too soon. She thought with a quick change of movement, preparing herself to fight or flight.
