When I awoke it was very dark. I didn't know where i was. I thought my eyes were open, but I couldn't see anything. I'm so scared. I don't know where I am. The last thing I remember was playing in puddles during the last rain storm we had. There was a jolt of lightning and I got scared, so I started to go back home. Then, I don't remember anything. Where I was laying the floor was hard and cold. I could hear voices from all directions. They were scared, and some of them were screaming for help. "Please..someone..I.. I'm so scared!!" My voice came out in a whisper. I knew i was in trouble. Then i heard voices from somewhere. There was a group of people, and they were going to rescue everyone here! That gave me hope so i started screaming. "Helpppp! Someone. Anyone. Please help me.!!!" Then the voices started to go in the opposite direction from where i was. They were looking for a Sheek girl, but I thought they said they were going to rescue everyone? I started to cry. I wish someone would rescue me.

Ok. This was my first entry so i hope u guys like it.
Someone can continue Plz
After our run-in with the poor, crazy Machop boy, Estelle, Nina, and I decided to try to rescue as many gijinkas out of this building as possible. Who could have the craziness to torture these poor people? It made me shudder even more. In the dim light I saw Nina pick up something from the floor. What was that?
We cautiously left the room, but the guard wasn't around anymore. He must've gone to check other hallways, hallways that might be housing even more gijinkas than we thought.
We kept walking slowly and quietly down the corridors, taking a left, and then we got to a fork. Go straight, or turn right? I sniffed, but it was hard to tell where the Shinx-girl went. The three of us stood perfectly still, not making any sound. Then I heard a faint voice say, as if verrrrry far away,
"Do you want to play a game....?"
That might be the girl we were rescuing! My ears swiveled to find the source of the noise, but Estelle was quicker. Nina, being a Nidoran and not a feline, didn't seem to hear the voice. Estelle pointed to the hallway in front of us, and Nina and I noiselessly followed. Only the tiny sound of Nina's shoes tapping the wet and dirty floor was heard.
After following Estelle down more corridors, and up two flights of even more dimly-lit stairs, she held out her hand in the universal sign for 'stop'. She stepped closer to a door on her right and listened intently. She looked back at us and nodded solemnly. The Shinx-girl was in there!

Whoever wants to continue! The story's getting juicy....
It was dark. There were no lights or windows to make shadows and the giant metal door had no gaps to allow anything through. But through the dark there was a large cage with metal bars and if you looked closely, allowing your eyes to ajust to the light, you'd see a figure chained to the bottom of the cage.
That is where I sat. The treted me like an animal that needed to be in a cage ever since I was young. An animal I had become. I no longer spoke, but growled. I didn't soften my eyes at a suffering Gijinka. I was harddened into an energy of hate and anger.
I don't know how long I had been here, just that the darkness was the only thing I knew. I had no hope of being found, so I turned my back on all that was good. I can't even remember what food tasted like outside of this dump.
My eyes had long been adjusted to the dark, and I could see everything perfectly, even the nails in the great iron door. And the silence was always still, but today was different. I could hear the noises of footsteps down the hallway. They were faint, but any sound increases tenfold to me anymore. The footsteps keep getting louder and louder. But hope was still not with me.

Haahaha... -_-' I had to jump in sometime...
"Hey. Wake up, dammit. Don't make me wait all day," a voice echoed dully in Sheek's head. Sleep was still fogging her senses, but she recalled that she had been captured and had sent out that insanely huge electric pulse in an attempt to call for help. She groaned and opened her eyes. When she remembered there was nothing to see, though, she closed them again. Slowly, she sat up, and turned her head in the direction she had heard the speaker. "That's better," the voice said. It was masculine, and young, so Sheek put two and two together. The talker was a male of about twenty to thirty years of age.
"What do you want with me?" Sheek inquired.
"Do you want to play a game, Shinx girl?"
"What?"
"Are you deaf? I thought your ears had an advantage over human ears. I said, would you like to play a game?"
Sheek twitched. What kind of game was the man talking about? She hesitated before answering. "...Yes."
"Very good!" came the reply. "Now, here's how the game works. I ask you a question, and you tell me the answer, and in turn, I get to answer your questions. But there's a catch: if you don't answer my question correctly, you'll get to feel what it's like to have a wooden plank hit the side of your head. So here's the first question: are you ready to play, Shinx girl?"
Sheek's eyes snapped open in horror, though all she could see was black. She was thankful that the plastic wrap-around... whatever it was... hid her expression. Without hesitation, she blurted out, "Y-yes!"
"There, see? It wasn't that hard, was it? And it's already your turn!" Sheek imagined the man sneering at her as he spoke.
"Why am I here?" she started.
"Obviously, because you are a gijinka. It is the job of the Pokemon Bounty Hunters to track wandering gijinkas and capture them. Now, tell me, Shinx girl. We observed you selling a necklace to a girl. I promise you we did not touch your money, but, out of curiosity, was the necklace stolen?" The tone of his voice confirmed it was just simple curiosity, that he was not going to report this information to any police.
"Yes. It's what I do for a living. Why do you kidnap Pokemon gijinkas?" Sheek worded this one carefully, but not too carefully.
"I am afraid my answer is one that you will not comprehend. I am sorry. Shinx girl, will you tell me your name?"
"No." Sheek answered before she could think. Within seconds, her head was knocked sideways by a sharp blow to the left side of her head. "Too bad," the man replied sarcastically. "You just lost your turn, so I get to ask another question. Have you been around any other gijinkas within the last day or two?"
"Your inquiries are getting too personal. I shall refuse to answer any more questions." Another impact of wood meeting flesh. "I see," the man hissed. "Then I shall not bother you anymore." Sheek heard his sharp leather boots smacking against the stone floor and a door slam. She shook her head to get the ringing out of her ears and snickered. I'm more hardheaded than they think, she boasted to herself. Still, a single tear slid down her cheek, and she was unsure if it was from pain, sadness, or anger.
She then laid down and asked to no one in particular,
"Do you want to play a game?"
I found the kind Espeon-girl, and she dressed the cut I got from a tree that scratched me. I hope I wasn't an inconvenience for her! I started to think that she didn't want me to follow her, but then she let me come with her to rescue the Shinx-lady. Then she told me that the Nidoran girl, Nina, had been following me. I asked her if she wanted to come.
She looked overjoyed. "Thanks!" She said.
We were in the small town, and only a few people were bustling forth on their duties. Running errands, shopping, eating-- then my stomach rumbled. Speaking of eating, I'm hungry. I unslung the poffin case from my shoulder and pulled out the bottom drawer. That's where I store my Poffins and Pokeblocks. I like sweet Pokeblocks, for the taste. But I make my Poffins dry and starchy because they give me lots of energy. I took out some Dry Poffins, blue, and started munching on them.
After a moment I realized I forgot about Estelle and Nina! They might be hungry too. I took the biggest Poffins out of the drawer and offered it to them.
Nina munched on them gratefully after murmuring a 'thanks' in my direction. Estelle had that soft look in her eyes as she took it and said, "Thank you so much." What was she thinking about? Maybe she was thinking about how happy she would feel once we rescued the Shinx.
After our pre-dawn breakfast, Estelle and I sat and digested, as all cats do, and Nina was content to just sit. When we started to see the sun peak his bright head over the horizon, the energy was building up in me. I felt strong. Estelle, Nina, and I would be the Shinx's knights in furry armour, coming to save her!
First, we bought some cloth capes to cover up our Pokemon-ears and tails. The better to hide from prospective bounty-hunters, and not end up in the same predicament as the Shinx. When we were satisfied, we sniffed around to find the girl's scent. It was a little harder to find than Estelle's scent, because it was a few days old. It led us to a dilapidated-looking building, and we cautiously went in.
I was not prepared for what it would be like in there. It was almost completely dark, with only a few small flickering lightbulbs sparsely lining the ceiling. It smelled musty, and it smelled of fear, hopelessness and death. There was always a dull humming, probably of machines. I could feel Nina trembling beside me, and I felt nervous too. Maybe we shouldn't do this. What if the Shinx is already...... I couldn't bring myself to think the word.
We entered from the lobby into a long, dark corridor. There were doors lining the walls, some of which crying or screaming noises emerged. I shivered. It was also cold in here.
We all froze as we heard footsteps. We looked frantically around for a hiding space, but it was light enough for someone to tell if anyone was standing around. Estelle pulled us into a room and closed the door.
Breathing rapidly because of fear, we didn't automatically hear or see what was in our hiding place. A growl made us whip around to see what or who was in the room with us. Our eyes widened in shock and we gasped in fear as we saw--

Whoo! That was a lot. I left the plot open so someone else can make up what's in the room with them! But I have to ask, please don't make it Sheek yet. Let's carry on this rescue mission a bit further. Have fun! I was on a roll here. I'm kinda shaking with fear now! Lol.
