[i][color=8493ca]This is gross,[/color][/i] He thought to himself.

Basil did not look at the rainbow energy coalescing at the Espurr's hand, but directly in its eyes. There was not any fight in the cat's eyes, just fear that reflected back a very familiar situation.

[color=8493ca]"You feel trapped right? I know that feeling all too well,"[/color]said Basil, never breaking his gaze at the little cat's eyes. There was no desire to fight in his eyes either, not anymore. [color=8493ca]"No matter what you do or what you think, there is always that feeling that there is someone's grip around your neck. It's suffocating and you think that you can never get away from it, but I'm here to tell you that's not the truth. Believe me, it's scary, but you are not alone. Even when you are at your lowest, there are still good people everywhere that will reach out to you with an open hand, you just have to take it."[/color]

He could feel a lump form in his throat as his hands balled up into a tight fist, a tension coiled up his stomach like a wound up spring. That tension released and he shouted desperately, [color=8493ca]"So fight back and show that bastard that you aren't a weapon! You're alive and right here, right now you get to make the choice, not him! Your tether to him is as flimsy as the Pokeball knocked out of his hand! So fight back and know you are not alone in this because there is another little psychic-type just like you, fighting for her freedom! This is your chance!"[/color]

Glory looked back up at his trainer with a look that he was starting to get a better idea what was going on inside of his dyed white head, who he actually was. It turned to look back at the Espurr with a curious gaze. [color=ed1c24]"Hawlucha. Lucha lucha? Haw, haw lucha. Hawlucha lucha. Haw?"[/color] It translated as something along the lines of, [color=ed1c24]"I don't understand as much as my trainer, but it's plain to me that you don't want to fight. Why fight for your trainer if he didn't earn your respect? Basil beat me honorably and I followed him of my own accord. I haven't known him for long, but I know he wears his heart on his sleeve and right now he's fighting for you too. Maybe you're pointing that attack at the wrong person?"[/color]
