The patriarch.

The boy harmlessly put his hands up.

"Hand over all of your weapons."

Eli skillfully gave the boy his dagger. and his pokeballs.

though kakuna was still in there, the boy had Bronzor in the bush at the boy's blind spot, making him harmless.

"Speak your purpose." The boy coldly muttered, causing Eli to say

"I was drawn by the smell of spices. you know where I could get some?"

"It's veronica's combee sweet scent." The boy still held the dagger to Eli's skin, causing a bead of sweat to drop down Eli's skin and land on the blade.

"Brother, what are you doing?" A young girl with white hair and sickly coloured skin came to her brother

"Veronica, don't get out of bed!" The boy hushed her, before turning his gaze to me "This person broke into our terrortority. said he was drawn by the aroma of the aroma of the food."

"You want some?" Veronica asked the boy, causing Eli to laugh

Is she stupid?

"Yes please." The boy said, before handing over 2 rattata's

"Here, take them."

Veronica smiled, before taking them and running away

"Try anything funny and your head will be on a pike by the next hour." The boy said, which made Eli simply smiled.

well, that was easy. he could use this advantageous group to fulfil his own agenda. if he gets the choice though, that boy is the first he needs to kill that boy if possible.

the kindness of the sister needs to be fully exploited, and by the looks of it it's seemed "Veronica" was either sick or poisoned, something he could capitalize on.

"What pokemon do you have?" The boy's eyes fell upon me.

"A kakuna and a Bronzor." The boy admitted, hoping that he could use to the truth to garner some rapport with the boy.

Bronzor came from the bush behind him, which made the boy frown

"I see, you could have used that to block my dagger." The boy curiously said, "Why didn't you just reverse the situation and kill me?"

"I was attracted to the smell." Lied Eli. in reality, he was already planning the best way to kill the boy before he was rudely interrupted.

something that was a problem, however, was the zubat that screeched every time someone got near. if he was to pull an assassination mission at night the zubat may alert someone with its loud screeches.

the boy needed to think and act with caution and perfection.

the boy relieved the dagger from his neck, and the boy had gotten his Pokeball back.

his payback, however, was that he was under the constant watch of the boy, which made Eli frown

"Your name?"

"Mizik." the boy responded blankly

"Quite a big group you have got here."

"Not enough for all of us to win."

"Yeah, especially with your competition from the north."

"Hm?" Mizik fell into his trap, and the boy laughed

"When I get the food, ill tell you some information about the other groups on the island. I've seen some bigger than 5, and some as big as your group!" Eli over-exaggerated the information

"Why should I trust you?"

"Well, this information could be the saviour for your group," Eli said,

indeed. although he was mature for his age, he was only 14, which was young, he was inexperienced and easy to manipulate.

just a single glance at the group says it all. 12 of them, each looking at eachover in a cunning light. these weren't teammates, they were hungry wolves and they were on the prowl.

"Who's this?" A skinny kid looked at Mizik

"A person we captured, he had valuable information on the other groups." Mizik said, "Speak."

"I'm only speaking when I get my fill." The boy muttered, his eyes looking at the meat that was getting cooked.

meat with no spices and berries was his diet, and it was far from nice.

after eating the tender juicy meat, the boy looked at the campfire, which had all of their eyes on him

"A group of 10 to the north, a group of 6 to the north-south a group of 4 to the east and a group of 4 in the north, again."

"That's problematic. 36 of the people are in the group, which means that there is going to be a war soon." A fat boy said as he pushed up his glasses

"Indeed," Mizik said. it seemed like he was the leader here

"Do you know what there pokemon is?"

"Yes."

"Spit out then!" Mizik shouted

"No."

Mizik slowly approached the boy, before grabbing him by the collar

"Why?!"

"What do I get out of this?" Eli said to the boy, which caused him to scoff

"Your life," Mizik muttered, his hands drawing a dagger.

Eli simply laughed, before putting his head to the tip of the dagger

"Go on, thrust it. I'm sure you and the other of your classmates know I'm too valuable to die. so do it, end the job. i won't be missing anything anyways." A trail of blood trailed down his forehead and dripped on the floor, before getting evaporated by the warm fire

"Tch." Mizik clicked his tongue with annoyance before looking towards Zubat

"If he does anything in the night, maul him."

Eli smiled, before saying "I'll be gone for the night then."

slowly walking to a warm position of the fire, the boy sat down.

he closed his eyes, which lowered the vigilance of the surrounding squadmates.

the boy waited for a few hours, before seeing they had gone and slept in makeshift huts.

the zubat was sleeping, although its senses could be considered great even when sleeping.

a simple move could instantly alert it.

sweat dripped down the boy's face as the red energy shot towards Zubat

"Scree!" The zubat managed to give a final screech before being taken over

"Act like usual!" Eli shouted to the zubat as he pretended to sleep.

the Zubat instantly heeded his call and proceeded to go back to sleep

a vigilant clans member scanned the fire and the zubat but saw that the zubat must of being appetized by the smell of meat from waking up and quickly went back to bed.

the boy sighed in relief , before giving commands to the zubat

"Act as normal. don't screech at me, but pretend to be the same."

The normally aggressive zubat was obedient as it nodded its head, before falling back to sleep.

the boy sighed in relief.
