‘I'm not asking you!' She was going to say to him, but thought that freeing her anger wouldn't be wise now. She place her hand on her right pocket and found the silver key Shawna gave her. She quickly hid it from Alstor's view, in any case, this key will be her only way to the dungeons, she had to keep it. At any costs!
"What's that?" Alstor asked as he took a glance at her right side. He knew he saw something shinning there.
"Wha-What's what?" Misty asked back smiling nervously. ‘Please, don't let him take my key' she pleaded in her thoughts to anyone that could comply.
Alstor looked at her incredusly, obviously not buying her act. That nervous laugh said it all to him. He took another glance, but whatever shine he saw was already gone. He let it go for now, after all, she couldn't do anything chain like she was to the chair, right? She's just a little girl, as strange as she might appear.
Misty sighed, her key was saved, for now. She, then, directed her eyes to something that caught her attention a while ago, when she woke up in there. Her backpack. It was hanging from Alstor's left hand. She wanted to have it back, there she could find something useful that might help her escape. Misty remembered, also, that her pokémon were there. They could help her defeat that guy. ‘O how I wish I had my bag with me!'
Suddenly a yellow light started to glow around Misty's backpack. And, as fast as the light appear it went away. ‘Weird' she thought. The, out of nowhere, the red backpack landed on her lap, making her jump in surprise. She looked up at Alstor, his mouth hanging.
He couldn't belive his eyes. One second he had that red thing on his hands and in the next it was gone, on the girl's possesion. How could she do that?! He wanted to voice his question, but find himself to shocked to so. He looked at his guards. They were all paralized by the recent display. Not moving an inch. He soon found his courage again. "I don't know how you did that girl," he said through gritted teeth, "but I'll get you for defying me!"
Misty looked at and saw how his clenched fists were starting to turn white from the pressure. She was scared he might try something and hurt her. She didn't knew what to do, she wished with all her might that anything as magical happen so she could get rid of Alstor giving her enough time to escape. She felt, that somehow, her wish will come true.
After recovering from the previous shock, he looked towards Misty, sending daggers at her. He started walking to her, slowly. He just couldn't stand being fooled.
Misty saw him coming her way, and there was nothing she could do to stop him. She, then, felt her arm lift up by itself just enough to stop infront of Alstor. Her hand spread up, showing her palm to him.
He was somewhat dumbfounded by the sudden display. He stopped dead in tracks when he saw a pink ball has began to form infront of her palm. The round light started to crackle by the intensity of it's power. Alstor found himself afraid of the little thing, especially when it realesed from Misty's hand. He saw it coming at great speed, he couldn't dodge it in time to save himself from the impact. He just waited for it to come.
Misty could belive what was happening. She saw it hit Alstor with such a force that it send him pound on a wall. He was knocked out. She felt this was her opportunity to escape as she saw the guards racing to her, but she couldn't, she was still chain to the chair by those stupid anklets.
She felt scared. This was beyond her. This was, indeed, dangerous for her own self. Why did she had to accept coming here on the first place? She felt like crying. ‘I, I just wish I was in that damn dungeon already!'
Misty started to feel a tingling sensation around her. She looked up and saw the guards approaching her. Suddenly, she couldn't see them anymore, she saw only black. It stayed like that for several seconds, then what came to view amazed her.
"Wow! Finally!" She exclaimed.
**********************************************************************
"Are you sure you know were you're going?" Brock asked.
"Umm...kind of." Melody answered.
"Great" Brock muttered. They have being walking through this dungeon maze for hours, he was tired of it. He left the whole situation on Melody's hands. How could he had being so foolish as to make her lead him? She had no sense of direction whatsoever! "Why don't you just teleport there?" He asked, exasperation evident in his voice.
"I can't. I can only teleport to places I know."
"Again, great"
"Oh come on. Look at the bright side," she said with a loopsided grin, "we haven't been caught since we escaped"
"Well, I guess I could give you that one." He said smiling at Melody.
Melody smiled back. Her good mood was suddenly disrupted by a loud thump. She turned around just in time to see a large metal ball fly in their direction. Melody pushed Brock to aside, falling on the floor along with him. The ball flew so close to them that she felt her hair pull up by the speed of it.
Brock got up and looked to where the ball had gone, he saw how the sphere crashed to a wall making a huge hole on it. His eyes, then, diverted to the author of their almost death. A large bulgy man was standing on the door frame they had just gone through. He had his malicious eyes focused on them.
"You two are not going to escape from me." He said on a dark tone, sending chills to both kids. Well, at least to Brock. Melody didn't seemed so impressed by his warning. She started laughing, making the man eye her stangely.
"What's your problem kid?!" He said a little to annoyed by the girl's antics.
"Oh no. I don't have any problem, sir. You do." She said while grinnig.
"What are you saying Mel? You're going to get us killed!" he whispered to her.
Melody looked at him, and smiled.
‘She has to be crazy' Brock thought.
"Stop your murmuring!" The man exclaimed waving his hands. He had more important things to do than deal with two kids. Two crazy kids, by the way. ‘What's she doing?' He questioned himself.
Melody watched her hands glow in the darkness of the dungeons, she smirked at them. She knew magic was her only way to solve a problem, pokémon can to, but she knew almost nothing about the training, that's why she became an aprentice after all.
She turned to Brock and gave him an evil look, pointing with her face to the man in front of them. She was ready.
Brock saw the glowing in her hands, he saw her face, too. She didn't had the sweet look she always did. Melody was different when it came to spells, he knew it. He had seen it.
"Watch closely, Brock. You don't want to miss a thing, don't ya?" She said in a whisper. Brock just nodded.
All of a sudden, the hall became bright from the light coming from Melody. Not only her hands glowed, but her whole body did too. Her head jerked back, allowing the power, growing inside of her, to realease itself. A light beam was starting to grow around her stomach, ready to give it's blow. And it did. The white light flew with all it's might towards the poor man on it's way.
The guard saw the beam coming and started running, trying to escape. He wasn't sure if that thing was going to get him, and he didn't intended finding that out.
Brock watched as the poor guy runned for dear life. He was shocked, to say the least, about the whole display, especially about Melody's weird attitude. She accustomed to turn serious when she used her powers, the little times he saw it, but he had never seen her act like a maniac when using them. He thought that it must be a trade in all magicians and sorceress.
The light beam was getting faster and faster until it reached it's destiny, catching it's prey. The man fell unconscious on the floor, a big burn on his back was the only evidence left of the powerful attack.
As soon as the man fell, Melody came to reality again. She looked around and saw the guard's body resting some meters away from her. She looked at her hands worried. She had never failed connection with her powers while she was using them. They controlled her since she saw her hands glow the first time. She was confused by it. ‘What just happened?'
Brock shooked his head, trying to digest the recent event. He saw Melody lost in thoughts, looking at her hands. He walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to him, her eyes

Melody chuckled at his comment. He sure knew what to say to make her feel better. "Next time, Brock? I hope there won't be any." She said, knowing her words were a lie. They will encouter many troubles if they intended to found their friend, which was pretty soon, according to her calculations. She just hoped she was right.
"Come on. Let's go" Brock said.
They started to walk in silence. Their friend was not to long away, and was their duty to save him. So they kept walking.
**********************************************************************
"I knew I was to here sometime! Yey!" Misty jumped happily. She could belive all her wishes were coming true. She was surprised by it. She was!
Misty stopped jumping when she saw a boy, not to far away from her, looking at her like if she was a ghost or something.
She walked up to the boy on the corner. She figured he was the prince. She didn't knew because the room was to dark for her to see.
The boy, seeing the strange girl walking to him, began to back away. He was to scared to face her, she appeared out of nowhere! And to add more, she began jumping and screaming. That scared the hell out of him.
Misty watched him move away from her. She imagined he must be afraid of her. "I a friend. I come in peace." She said as nicely as she could. "Come out of there. I'm not going to hurt you. I came to rescue you."
The boy soon felt his bravery coming back. He couldn't be scared of a girl! He was supposed to be brave and all. "Rescue me? I can not trust you."
"Of course you can." She said puasing only slighly. "I'm a friend, Prince Ashten"
‘She knows my name! But how?' "Who are you?" He asked her.
"Just a friend, prince, a good friend."
