Chapter 30: Yeah, I Admit Having No Face Is A Little Scary.
"Then let me ask this what would've you done if I had told the truth? Would you let me and Amelia be? Or would you've ripped me away from her and sent me through to be studied and turned into a pet for you all?" As I say my statement my shroud covering me starts to crumble slightly revealing my form showing my "face" at Caitlin.
Caitlin steps back from me and towards the seat she was in, her face almost ghost-like as she pears at my unfinished and slightly malformed face. "w-what are you?" The blonde psychic asks in a trembling voice.
"I'm just a Pokemon wishing to I've in peace with my trainer. Please don't get into he way of that, I can promise my cooperation to any demands you might have." Noticing my fuck up I put back up my shroud and cover my face as I say my piece.
While Caitlin is visably shaken she also has calmed down to an extent and she sits down back in her seat without another word. With that no one else speaks and I dispell my illusion and let my shroud fall as it crumbles and fades away I'm back into my base form, panting.
'Damn. I really shouldn't try that anytime soon..Though I spoke the language instinctively even if I can't read it, that's a start at least though I'll probably have to actually earn the language to speak it in Pokemon form..' As I get out of my illusion Amelia comes up to me in the same fashion she did as before and once again starts crying.
'Stop making me feel bad!' trying and failing to wiggle out of her grip I let her get out everything. 'Well I guess this problem has been solved for the moment though I can tell that Caitlin's changed a little hopefully my face wasn't to horrifying.'
As D would come to know later his face at the time was essentially melted and leaking all sorts of fluids, but he'll figure that out in due time. :)

[One Month Later]
"Kage use Night Shade!" Dodging the spout of fire from Houndoom I approach her quickly and fire ghostly energy from my eyes. Although Houndoom dodges my attack by jumping to the side and before my eyes can follow she retreats behind one of the many rocks around.
Right now both me and Houndoom are doing some terrain training this time I'm getting sent through a rocky battlefield. Trying to hear for Houndoom I keep my energy primed for another use of Night Shade although I hear many different footsteps around me.
Looking around I see multiple Houndoom's comes out from multiple points each closing in on me quickly. 'Shit, double team!' As I make the realization Amelia comes to the same conclusion and speaks. "Kage use Copycat!"
'Ah. That's a good one!' Taking her suggestion I use copycat I look towards each Houndoom and feel the energy pulsing through each one. I copy that feeling using my own normal type energy and form two copies of myself. Though compared to Houndoom I only make 2 copies compared to the 9 I can see.
"Now use Quick Attack to get away!" Taking her advice me along with both of my clones start dashing away using normal type energy to supplement ourselves pushing past our normal limits on pure speed.
ALthough it seems useless to the Houndooms pursuing me as they use their own Quick Attack's and catch up rather quickly to one of my clones as me and the other one jump onto and off of rocks to evade. "You can't run!"
Houndoom yells decently loudly as me and my clone escapes her encirclement. "I don't plan on running!" As the Copycat runs out of power I lose the ability to keep up my double team and as such it disappears but I'm not particularly worried.
"Kage use Posion Fang!" Looking at Amelia like a certain type of way I refuse to use it and instead I use Hone Claws, which I've learned how to include my fangs and teeth into the overall sharpness boost.
Noticing how I blew her off she doesn't get mad or butt hurt but she throws out another command instead. "Let the Double Team wear off! Keep running!" Nodding at her answer I take off around the rocks and uneven terrain as I do so Houndoom and her clones start firing off multiple fire attacks like Flame Burst, Fire Spin, and Incinerates.
Moving through the terrain I come close to being hit but I manage to not get hit by the time that Houndoom's Double Team fades on its own and once it does Amelia springs into action. "Now use Posion Fang!"
This time I'm on board as I start jumping off and around rocks to get in close Houndoom doesn't move away and instead chooses to go off face to face. With her letting out a fire from her maw that covers her body in a flaming charge as she starts to run at me.
Letting Posion energy drip from my mouth it coats my jaw as I leap at Houndoom. Although Houndoom being the faster of us hits me with a way stronger force than I'm ready for and while I get her good in the shoulder she launches me back with an actual Flame Charge sending me towards Amelia with my fur singed.
'Ouch. I should've expected that but I got her good!' As I'm currently in an illusion the pain I feel is toned down although I still feel the burning pain in my body along with the overwhelming pain coming from back as I land and skid back on it.
Houndoom steps forward as I prepare for the next clash she stops and smiles???? "You pass, good job Runt!"
"HUH?"
