"He will be travling with us and if he disbehaves I will not stop you next time Amanda" Frank said walking out of the cave and back to the Cabin. Greg went to speak but Bill said "I recomend you just tag along cause Frank was serious he will not stop Amanda next time" Then Bill and Solrock went ahead to catch up with Frank. Greg looked at the two people he was left with then the pokémon "He as gotten a backbone" he spat

Amanda let her eyes darken a bit. "Yes, and I always make good on my promises. You better follow us." She laughed then took Dimitri's hand and walked back to the cabin. She heard his footsteps fall in behind hers. She spoke over her shoulder to Greg. "I know you don't believe me, but I know what happened when you were younger. Why do you hate pokémon? You lost someone, didn't you?" Dimitri squeezed Amanda's hand and said. "It's not your place to ask him that."

Greg sighed and kept walking ignoring the question and kept walking

Bill caught up with Frank and said "hey man are you okay?" Frank nodded and kept walking

Amanda stopped and turned to face Greg, making him bump into her. She raised his head looked at his eyes. "You're sad." she said. "Because you've lost your wife. And now you think no one in the world will care for you. You hoped to fix things with your son, so you followed his friend. But now that you have found him, you remember what your childhood wasn't like and you envy him. He reminds you of her. You felt her passion when he yelled at you. But now you don't know what to do. Do you tell him your past and talk to him about why you raised him the way you did, or do you keep going on as if nothing had happened? You think pokémon are nothing but trouble. But it is pokémon that brought you together. Think about what I've said. I know you'll make the right choice." Amanda turned and ran to catch up with Frank and Bill. Dimitri appeared by her side quickly. You didn't have to do that he thought towards her. Amanda shook her head. Yeah, I did. "Frank!" she called when she saw him. She ran up and hugged him from behind. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused you." Dimitri laughed, and thought towards Bill. Don't panic. You can tell that he is not the same person, yes? I'm sorry we've changed your friend. He smiled. "Let's go inside. It's getting cold again."

Bill did a double take when Dimitri entered his mind he watched The others go in he called back his Solrock and walked in Frank and Greg were opposite sides of the room from each other. Bill sat down in the middle of the room and Hai cam up and crawled into his lap "well um...Nice to see everybody is in one peice" he said trying to break the awkward silence

Amanda was fed up. "I don't believe you. How could you do that?" Amanda looked down at the chess board that she a Dimitri had set up. "I wanted to be the whites. I'm always the whites." She pouted dramatically. Dimitri laughed then turned the board around. "There. You're the whites now. Let's play." They began to play chess, blocking off the rest of the world.

Hai looked at Bill. The are trying to be ineffectual characters so Frank's relationship with his father can be developed more.

Bill nodded and watched the chess game. "Um.. Frank-" Greg started but Frank cut him off "Hey Demitri where can i sleep?" Frank said rather loadly

Dimitri looked up from the Chess game and laughed. "That's the great part. You are sleeping. Well, you body is anyway. This house, and everything in it is just a compilation of thought. Magic works wonders. I do this so I don't feel like I'm wasting time. Right now, we are in a thought pool. A place where everyone's mind can exist. Now, I believe your father was talking to you," Amanda looked up and nudged Dimitri. "and it's my turn. So just relax."

Frank sighed "Fine, what?" Greg looked up, "Well I told you pokémon were wrong cause well, I lost my Parents to the battle for the Pokémon League, they left me behind in a daycare, and i never saw them again, I didn't want to lose more family to that and i guess i puched you away I am sorry"
Bill looked up and smiled

Amanda smiled and thought towards Greg. I knew it. You were just as lonely as he is. Don't push him away anymore. He'll need you before the end, Gregory. You need to believe in him. Amanda knocked over Dimitri's king. "Checkmate." Amanda and Dimitri set the pieces up again. It's your turn, Frank. Dimitri thought.

Greg did a double take when he heard a voice in his head and looked around Frank nodded and said "My father knows my past, but you did hurt me and you puched away, so there. I am not going to get sentimental with him any time soon" Bill stood up and walked over to Frank was about to hug him When frank left the room "All of you LEAVE ME ALONE" Zangoose looked at where Frank went and back at the group then ran off after Frank

This house is a collective thought Frank. Dimitri thought. We can 'leave you alone'. He looked at Amanda's king; it was completely protected by other pieces. He sighed. "Well, I tried Amdi. Looks like you win." Amanda shook her head and looked at his queen. She raised her eyebrow. "Not going to play it just yet." He nodded in the direction Frank had walked. "Do you want to follow him, or should I?" Amanda bit her lip, and gave him the puppy dog eyes. Dimitri smiled. "Fine, but next time it's your turn." Dimitri stood and walked into the room where Frank had disappeared. It was a dark room, the was little to no light. "Your pretty upset, aren't you?" he said letting his eyes pale - for protection. "Hey, I'm not going to do anything. I'm just hear to keep an eye on you."

I don't need a babysitter Frank thought trying to close his mind while Zangoose growled at Dimitri

Bill stood where he had been "Well, that hurt" he said sitting back down holding Hai. Greg sat down in a chair holding his head

"Listen Kid. Dimitri said gruffly grabbing Frank's shirt and lifting him off the ground. "I'm not your Damn babysitter. I'm trying to be your friend. If your going to be a bitch about, I can break your nose again. Amanda wouldn't like that, but I sure as hell would." He threw Frank on the ground. "Man up and take responsibility for your actions." Dimitri took off his coat, throwing towards the ground next to Frank. It turned to ice and shattered when it made contact. The air got cold, and fog began to rise from the floor. The door behind Dimitri slammed shut and a layer of ice coated over it. Groudon, don't even think about helping him. In the other room Amanda smiled. "Be very still, can you hear it Bill? The sound of wood and metal freezing. Sit. This shouldn't take long." I won't interfere, as long as you don't kill him. she thought. Dimitri smiled and said to Frank. "Welcome to my hell."

"ohh, you can freeze shit, i did jack shit but try to find a place to be happy, i am not going to complain about the cold and let you win you think just because you have a pokémon's soul inside of you, you can push people around well i am not going to let you" He held out his pokéball "Zan return"

Bill listened hearing the ice forming and ran to the door when he touched the door it was to cold to hold on to "DAMN IT" he called out sitting by the door think of a way to get in "Amanda, help me" he called getting up again

Greg watched as Bill went to go and try to stop whatever was happening

Amanda looked at Bill. "No. I won't help you." she looked back to the chess pieces, one of Dimitri's moved. She laughed. "You always have to win, don't you Dimi?"

Dimitri looked at the boy. "Hit me." he said "If your angry, fight me. You didn't seem upset when Amanda used her soul. Why are you complaining to me?" Dimitri stood perfectly still. "Your friend is on the other side of this door. He wants to see you. he laughed. "He thinks Amanda is going to melt the door open. She won't. She told me she won't. It's just you and me."

Fine you want to mind talk then lets talk this way, I am not going to fight you, you want me out of the way then kill me frank looked at Dimitri.

Bill turned around "WHY THE HELL NOT?" he screamed

Greg stood up "I think they are teaching frank a lesson Bill"

Amanda smiled. "Your a smart man Greg. Frank should listen to you more." she said ignoring Bill. Another chess piece moved.

Dimtri smiled. "That... I can't do." he said aloud. "Killing you is out of the question. I'm just here to teach you something." Dimitri sat on the floor. Water began to pool around Frank's feet. It soon covered the floor in a thin layer ((about 1/2 and inch)). Dimitri sighed. "Ahh... that feels better. So are you going to hit me, or am I going to have to raise the water till morning?"

Raise the water, you just said you would not kill me so i am not worried thought Frank not moving from where he stood

Bill Stormed into the kitchen leaving Greg and Amanda alone, Hai followed him to comfurt him

Greg looked at Amanda then at the chess board "Is that a repensentation of the other room?" he asked moving forward

Amanda looked at the man. "It's more a representation of the situation at hand. I will tell you that you can't move the pieces. Do you see how the king is closely being guarded by the queen? It means he's holding something back. He's being wary. Not letting the queen move it very risky in chess; but it can also be a very good move."

Dimitri laughed and leaned forward. "You're right. I said I wouldn't kill you. But as you can see, I am not water. So the water may kill, but it won't be you blood on my hands." The water rose another 2 inches. Knowing it would make him talk, Dimitri said to Frank "Your father is a brilliant man. He's already figured out the chess game that Amdi and I are playing."

Why do i need to talk i have done nothing said Frank taking a step forward and one to the left

Bill sat down and grabbed up Hai, "What is going on?" he asked

Greg watched the pieces move trying to figure things out "Hmmm, if he is the white and we are the black he has stronger wall then i thought, did make him that way?" he asked Amanda as the white move in defencive postioins

Amanda smiled "How wise of you. Passing the blame to yourself. It is in part, your fault. But it is also in part, his fault." she said speaky like a wise, old sage.

Dimitri looked at Frank. "You think you've got this all figured out don't you?" The water rose to Frank's ankles. Dimitri stood and walked over to the boy so their faces were inches apart. "You need to play by the rules Frank. Or you'll get disqualified" The water around Frank's ankles froze into a solid block. However none of the water surrounding him changed. Dimitri walked back to where he had been sitting. "It's going to be a long night, boy"

Hai looked at Bill. I think the writing staff forgot about us in the kitchen. I'm thirsty. I think there is some juice in the fridge.

Bill got up grabbed the juice and said "do you want me to pour it down your throught or would you lke a dish?" he asked

Greg nodded, "How will this stop then?" he asked still a little confused

Then let it be long, I did nothign so i am not going to talk Frank thought it was gettign chilly but he was not going to focus on it

Amanda sighed. “It will stop when a King falls; either Dimitri’s or Frank’s. The pieces are controlled by - well, right now I’d say pride. Your son is very proud; I wonder where he gets is from.” She teased. On the base of one of the black pieces a blue crystal formed. Amanda smiled. You have to follow the rules too, dummy. She blew on it and the crystal vanished. She looked at Greg. “Do you truly hate pokémon Greg? Because you seem fascinated by us to me. Do you see how important we are to life here? How important we are to you family?”
Dimitri growled as the ice around Frank’s feet melted. “Fine.” The water rose to Frank’s knees. “Are you going to begin talking? Or do you really want me to have to drag your drowned body from the room?” The water rose to Frank’s thighs. Dimitri sighed and shook his head. “Pride will get you nowhere in life. And it certainly won’t help you in here.” The water rose to Frank’s hips.
Hai smiled There is a bowl in the cabinet on the left. Thank you. Hai lowered her head and began to drink the juice. Mhmmm.... Cherry. I couldn’t have cherries before because Amanda is allergic to them. I love cherries.

Your one to talk about Pride all you do is walk around like you own the world and that nobody can stop you and well I would love to se you take on Amanda and Bill if i came out dead Frank grinned and kicked off a wall towards the door and stood there If this was like chess he was going to have to play the game "Lapras" he called holding a pokéball "Use a revesed vortex to clear the water away from me" Lapras nodded and whirlpool apeared pushing away the water.

Greg looked up "Well, you almost just killed me adn you have the soul of a great pokémon in you but you are not dead, so i am inteaged" pieces started to slide away from the piece that was trapped in the crystal "Um, what is he doing?"

Bill smiled "Your welcome, Hows Frank doing?" he asked
