Tisa watched as they left. They left. That's all there was. Leaving. A Mewtwo took their place. His name was Kiumbe.

He was very powerful.

It's been a few days. Tudi hasn't been out since Witness and Boulder left. Tisa guessed he missed them, but she couldn't ask him if he did because he would say he could care less.

She knows how much he truly cares about them, even if he was being a tsundere about his feelings.

He always acted like he wasn't in the mood for anything these days. He must truly thought that Witness had true potential.

Tisa thought that Witness had potential even if she wasn't evil. She just knew Witness was a powerful Pokémon, even if Tudi was now dismissive of the thought.

He always spends his time laying around, deflated. He wasn't even willing to go out to chase the Starter Squad.

Then again Skliros had this evil plan to destroy arceus. So far, Tudi was disappointing him. Without witness it just felt like Tudi was a shell of what he was.

Tisa was so busy thinking about Tudi that she didn't hear the pawsteps that were coming from the outside of the cave. A low growl rang from the throat of a Pokémon that sounded something like a demon.

Seconds past, and Kiumbe asks, " What is that noise coming from?"

Tisa lifted her head from where she was laying about, and gazed into the eyes of pure horror. She wasn't scared, she just heard about this fiend.

A ghostly form of himself, no literally, a black bipedal Pokémon with long ass horns and fangs that could destroy Arceus himself if he was allowed to. A Houndoom by the name of Pulse was snarling from the outside of the cave.

Tudi didn't seem to notice his foster father at first, sighing pitifully. Then his head lifted up when a paw was laid on his back.

" Son," the hound growled lowly. " I would have expected more of a reunion than this. I thought you loved me. Then again, I'm a villain."

Then the hound swiftly grabbed the Sandslash with his front paws, wrapping them around his son. " My son," he seemed to be whining with happiness, clutching him longer than anyone has ever with Tudi.

There were those rare hug moments, but it wasn't usually this long or with anyone other that Tisa, Witness, and sometimes Skliros. Skliros really liked those hugs because they were 'brotherly.'

Whatever the hippie said. " I'm so happy to see you, but I can't say this is a good time. What's going on? Why are you being this lazy and sad? Emotions don't go well with villains."

Oh great, even the dead psychos in on Skliros' knowledge. Tisa thought with a roll of her eyes.

Tudi seemed to freeze. " Yeah, well, I guess you're right, father. It's just...hard." Pulse nodded with understanding. " I know that, but even in the hard times you just gotta keep your cool, and chill." Pulse informed him.

" I think I get it, Father." Tudi commented. Pulse looked at the other Pokémon that were in the cave. " Hmm...Who are these dastardly guests of ours, Tudi. Are they your crew?" Pulse wondered with curiosity in his eyes.

He didn't seem so evil from where Tisa was looking. She guessed he must have had some traumatic event that change him for obviously the better.

Whatever it was, Tisa wasn't interested. He was just another dog-like Pokémon, like her except with black fur, weird edgings on his body, and horns like a goat. It would be very hilarious if his family descended from Gogoats.

Tisa snickered at the thought of a very well known villain being related to those weak grass types. Tisa had several times killed one to eat it.

Man, were they tasty as Mudkips! She thought with a satisfying rumble in her throat. She pawed the ground like she was queen of this place.

Tudi nodded. " It's something like that, father. They all want revenge on the squad or on someone. Skliros here tells us that destroying Arceus is our ticket to ruling over the world." He informs his father. His father rumbled with satisfaction.

" Good to hear. I always heard that Arceus is worshipped by all those simpleminded creatures. What does one Pokémon have that another doesn't? I mean Type:Null has the same ability, but isn't nearly so tall, so why don't they just worship that Pokémon instead? At least Type:Null is way cooler than that bull-y of a Pokémon." Pulse rambled.

Does he always go on like that? No wonder why he died. Some Pokémon was mad he talked too long about something stupid. Tisa thought with an eye roll. She wondered how Tudi ever hung around the talkative beast.

It must be their egos are bigger than their bodies. Tudi must have had a big ego and was able to listen to him like that.

Tisa blinked as she gazed at the Houndoom. Pulse was looking over her way. " Is this my replacement? A female slut?" The Pokémon rumbled with a growl.

Does every Pokémon think that? Ugh. Stop the judgment you horny beast. No joke that beast has huge horns.

" No! No! Of course not! There's no way I can replace you, father. She's my partner, though." Tudi commented.

Notice how he didn't defend me by saying I wasn't a slut. Guess even the Sandslash still thinks I am one. At least I'm not that bitch of an Absol. He must go around flirting with all the women just so he can take advantage of them. I know what happens when someone is with someone for too long.

Tisa growled as her paws unconsciously made the Piplup before she saw it, unsheathing her claws.

She ran her claws down the picture of the obnoxious female. She had totally forgot that she had only enter countered the penguin a few times, and she was still a Piplup.

" Ah, I see." Pulse purred as he watched Tisa slash at the ground in fury.

" It's good to see that you have a partner like I did. I had two, and one of them turned out to have my kit. Not that I give two shits about that piece of crap. That's why I adopted you, so I could have a son instead of that measly ugly egg that she ended up happening." Pulse growled.

" You never told me what happened to your other partner." Tudi said.

Pulse snarled viciously. " What happened to her is none of your business!" He barked as he slashed at Tudi.

Tudi gasped. Has he ever slashed at Tudi? Is that why Tudi is surprised at the dead Pokémon?

Honestly Tisa was pissed. If Pulse wasn't already dead she would have ripped his throat out.

A clear mark was somehow on the Sandslash. It didn't look deep enough to be a scar, so at least he wouldn't be marked forever with the scratch.

The sudden arrival of Pulse and what Skliros had told her so many months ago was bothering her. Why would now be the time that Pulse had come back. How'd he get back? Wouldn't he be trapped in the Distortion World because of all the chaos he caused?

Tisa didn't have time to think of it much because Skliros said, " Well it's good to have you back in this world, Pulse."

Pulse looked at Skliros. " Who are you?" Pulse growled at Skliros. " I'm Tudi's agent." Skliros joker as he took out his stupid tea set.

He started drinking stupid pretend tea.

Why can't he just get real tea? Oh right because as a villain.

Tisa sighs as Pulse seemingly glared at the Darkrai. " Agent? This isn't like one of those stupid jobs you get." Pulse growled at the rag doll mythical Pokémon.

" I know. I was joking. Jeez you can't take a joke." Skliros commented as he clapped his paws together like he was drunk.

Pulse snarled with fury at the Darkrai.

You and me both. Tisa thought as she sighs as softly as she could. She didn't want anyone hearing her. Then again no one would ask her of we problems unless it was for their own personal gain.

" I suppose with Pulse we are ready to take over Arceus?" Tisa thoughtfully suggests. She hated the idea. Killing arceus was absolutely insane. She hated the idea.

Skliros put his ragged hand on his chin. " I suppose we are, but I doubt that we are ready just yet. We have lots to do before we are ready to take on Arceus. We might need some help, and I have a black friend who is good with sneaking around. We might need their help." Skliros stated.

He had a wicked smile. Tisa didn't like this. How come she was the only one who knew his real scheme?

" So you want to find him?" Tudi asked. Skliros nodded. " If were gonna destroy arceus better find all the dastardly villains we can! Arceus' reign is coming to an end! And I can't wait for it!" Skliros giggled.
