It had seemed like yesterday that he'd been wandering through Viridian Forest, what used to be his forest, only to have stumbled upon Xander. And it had been a rather stupid mistake and one that he shouldn't have made. He was human. Humans made mistake, but this had certainly been a grievous one. It just stroked Xander's ego. Now the pompous blond could parade around boasting that he had been the one to capture Blue and put him in his place. He had been the one to subdue Nox's Kanto leader. Blue just wanted Viridian City back. But sitting in a prison cell underneath Xander's office was not making for a very successful attempt at taking the city. It sucked to not see the light of day. If anything, it was dark. Underground. It smelled musty. The air was damp. At least he wasn't chained to the wall or something. That would have sucked. They'd at least given him free mobility, but that came with the price of being guarded 24/7. There was one stationed in front of his holding cell. There wer even more marching back and forth in the prison halls, each armed with either a bludgeon, a tranquilizer, or a gun. If a bullet was the price to pay to escape, Blue would have done so gladly. But the task presented was difficult without his Pokémon to depend on. He didn't even know if they were safe, which in the word's real meaning, they probably were. They were away from danger only because they too were guarded strictly and on an entirely separate floor. This was Viridian City. Any Nox member knew that stepping within its walls was near suicide. Not quite, but close to there. Territory with such heavy influence did not welcome Nox the slightest bit. It was stupid to even hope for a rescue party from them. Blue wouldn't be moving from the prison cell. He had his doubts that he would ever. Briefly, he wondered why Lux hadn't simply put him to death on the spot. That would have been the second smartest thing to do. The first would have been to hold him as bait and wait to see if Nox leaders would bite, if they even had any. Most Nox activity was kept a secret anyways and Lux only had so much information on their de facto "officials". "Hey," |
He waited for one of the many guards to turn around and rail at him. Even Blue got bored at times. What else was there to do underground? He could at least humor himself at pestering these guards that had been hand-picked by Xander. He knew he was bait. Alyssa would come soon enough. It wasn't like they could actually kill him. No one was going to break through enemy territory to retrieve a corpse. And if physical pain was the price for distracting these guards, so be it.

One by one, they’d managed to make their quiet entrance into the Lux powerhouse of a city. It had been tricky work, not to mention incredibly dangerous, but the people that had entered were either determined enough to perfect an undetected entrance, or skilled in what they did. Save for three people, herself included, the rest of the Nox in Viridian were spies who specialized in espionage. Their goal for this evening was simple – rescue Kanto’s Regional Leader for Nox, the regions very own Blue Oak – from the clutches of Lux into which he’d fallen in some way, shape, or form. Good job, Blue... she thought, for probably the umpteenth time since she’d received word from the spies she’d stationed in the city of the young man’s capture.
