Caring is thinking with your heart  Parasect chirped as it and Des walked through the forest. They were nearing their next target. The farm that supplied food to the stores and people in the village. He was tasked with taking it out. Exiting the foliage, Des saw a house on a hill, with a large fence going around, and thousands upon thousands of crops. Corn, tomoatoes, apples, wheat. Shouldn't be too hard. First, he needed to get rid of the opposition. He jumped the wooden picket fence and into the wheat crops.
Walking through the field of wheat, Des neared the house. Had his Venomoth not been flying overhead, guiding him, he and his mushroom companion would probably have gotten lost. He reached the end of the crops and to a grassy area that separated the field from the house. "Para, Veno. Use your Poison Powder attacks to kill these crops. Venomoth, if you need to, use Whirlwind to help spread them. I've got business to take care of."
He clutched onto a Pokeball as he approached the front door. The house had a wooden porch, with a swinging loveseat on one end, and a table on the other. "Armaldo, take the door down." He said, calling out to his Pokemon. As it appeared, the Bug type burst through the door, easily ripping it with its claws.
"What the hell!" Des heard an old man shout. Farmer Wilson, the owner of the farm and the crops Des' Pokemon were currently destroying, came running out from a hallway, with a shotgun in his arms. "You won't be taking any of my money, you darned thief!" He said, aiming his shotgun at the Gym Leader.
"Foolish man. I'm not here for your valuables and possessions. I'm here to end your life!" Armaldo had stepped in front of Des now. Wilson took a shot, but the bullets bounced off the beetle's hide. "Peh. That all you got? Arma, X-Scissor. End his life. Then find the missus. Kill her too." Des smirked as the beetle rushed towards Wilson, and as the old farmer fired a second time, Armaldo sliced the shotgun with its claws, then struck Wilson in the neck. It proceeded down the hall, entering each room, looking for Mrs. Wilson. Des looked over Wilson's dead body. "Petty fool. If only you had served for the Nightwalkers, and this could've been avoided."
As he finished speaking, Des heard a woman scream, followed by a thump. He smirked as he knew what happened. A Murkrow was cawing outside. "Arma, come back." Des shouted into the house. "Time to blow this popsicle stand. Gigaboom, your time to shine." He said, recalling the beetle as it reentered the living room, to be replaced by a white and blue Electrode. "Wait 10 seconds, then explode. Got it?" He told the electric ball. He calmly walked out of the house and after a few steps, the house was engulfed in flame, and it came tumbling down. "Arma, find Gigaboom, and retrieve it." He let the beetle out of its ball again, where it began to easily and swiftly dig through the rubble of the Wilson house. It picked up Gigaboom, and and speedily made its way to Des. "Good job. Both of you, return." He called them both to their Pokeballs, and walked casually over to the field Venomoth and Parasect were working on. All the crops were now covered in a fine, purple dust, signifying that they were soon to perish. "Return." He called the two bugs, and started walking away from the destroyed farm. Think hard.

From nowhere something slams hard into Des's back, knocking him to the ground. Shortly afterward a bit of dust is kicked over his body, followed by a loud yet muffled voice. "What are you doing Des!?" Toph slowly approaches his downed friend, a gas mask on his face and a Skuntank at his side.

Caring is thinking with your heart Des staggered a bit as he got up, seeing a Skuntank, and what appeared to be Toph with a gas mask. Wiping his mouth of dirt, he began "Quite intrusive, aren't you Topher? Showing signs of Nightwalkerism, I see." He said, making up the word on the spot. "If you must know, I ended that dreadful farmer's life for not accepting the Nightwalker's actions. Now it's my turn. What are you doing here?" He snapped at Toph. Think hard.

Topher chuckled a bit to himself, "Nightwalkerism? You should know the dark never plays fair. Besides, a little dirt is nothing compared to KILLING TWO INNOCENT PEOPLE!" Toph shook his head. "What happened to you Des? Your not the same person I called my friend. Your different now, you've changed." The Skuntank circles around and cuddles against her trainer's leg.

Caring is thinking with your heart "Or course I changed. But for the better! I'm more powerful, I'm in control. People respect me! It's much better than being a pathetic member of the PWF." Des began. "You know, you should really listen to your younger brother. It'll be a shame to have to kill you, Topher, because Verin will give me that order sooner or later. And as for the two farmers, not like their lives mattered anyways. What did they do to benefit this island? Grow fruit? We all know the League's got enough funding to feed the island with exports. So the farmers weren't serving us any purpose, but using the land to grow their useless crops!" Think hard.

"Shut up Des! I don't have a brother any more. My brother is dead...killed by that shell of a person that goes by his name. He's nothing more than a crazed beast. This isn't about food, or funding. They were innocent people Des, and your responsible for their deaths. They probably have friends, family, here on this island. And you ripped them away from them. I love the darkness, don't get me wrong. But what the Nightwalkers...what YOU are doing...is wrong. Now I'll give you this warning. Des, surrender now, I don't want to hurt you...but you WILL be coming back with me."
Reeka takes a step forward to stand in front of her beloved trainer.

Caring is thinking with your heart "It's a pity you think that way, old master. But he's taught me something you failed to, and that was to be strong, to take command when needed. If you think I'm going to surrender to you, then you're sadly mistaken!" He tossed a Pokeball into the air, and out burst his purple moth Pokemon, Venomoth.
"What's so dark about killing plants? We've all done it before. Using pesticides on weeds, cutting down an unwanted tree. The rest of the world's killing all their plants. Why not follow them?" Think hard.

"We kill weeds so that the desired plans will grow. When we chop down trees, new ones are planted. When you kill a person...you steal them away from others. Never to be returned. This isn't about dark and light...it's what's right and wrong. Des, you were my friend...but now I can see that Des is gone. Your just another of Verin's mindless pawns. And this land...it's dead. So I have absolutely no reason to hold back on you! Reeka! Go!" The Skuntank charges forward as quickly as her short legs would take her.

Caring is thinking with your heart "Pfft. Easy. Veno, rise." The moth rose, easily avoiding the Skuntank's charge. "Thought you more tactical than that Topher. Now, sleep!" Venomoth's wings began producing a blue, sleep-inducing powder, and it sifted through the air, closing in on Skuntank.
"Perhaps the same could be said about Raiu, Muse, and the other PWF members. They're just a bunch of your spineless pawns!" Des shouted. Topher has no right criticizing Lord Verin. Think hard.

"Des, I'm surprised. I thought I taught you better than that. It seems that being around the Nightwalkers so much is destroying your intellect as well. Since when have I been a straightforward battler? Why do you think I even have this mask on? It's not like the air itself is poison...yet. Reeka! Toxic!" The Skuntank slid to a stop, pointing her tail straight up, she sprayed a fog of purple toxins into the air. "Now Reeka! Flamethrower!" The Skuntank quickly rolled onto her back and unleashed a flame from her mouth, quickly covering her body with her paws. The toxins in the air exploded with much force, sending flames high into the air, engulfing the Venomoth and it's Sleep Powder. Topher stood in satisfaction as the blast sent a wave of heat over the dieing fields.

Caring is thinking with your heart "Veno!" Des cried, running out into the battlefield, catching his beloved moth as it fell from the sky. "You hurt my Veno! How could you?" Des cried, holding his weakened moth. It had been his first Pokemon, as gift to him when he was four by his parents in Fuchsia. He held tightly onto the weakened moth as it was covered in burns. How could he have let this happen? His most trusted Pokemon suffered greatly, all for Des. He would make Topher pay for this, one way or another. Still hugging his precious Venomoth tightly, with tears running down his cheeks, Des grabbed a Pokeball and his Scizor popped out of it. "Scizor, show this a** what you can do, Bullet Punch times ten!" The red mantis raced towards Reeka, its metallic claw ready to strike the skunk Pokemon hard. Think hard.

"Reeka, watch out for it. Counter with Night Slash!" As the Scizor came in with it's punches, Reeka leaps off the ground. Twisting her body about in the air, Night Slashing the flying metallic fists. She bounced around, slashing constantly to ward off the incoming attack. Finally, one struck her, sending her small light body tumbling a good distance. "Reeka! You okay!?" The skunk slid to her feet and immediately charged back toward the Steel type.
Just a little closer girl...

Caring is thinking with your heart "Substitute!" Des called out, and the Scizor immediately disappeared, replacing itself with a little stuffed version of itself as Reeka came charging by. Des hoped the sub would be able to take the hit. It could allow him to defeat the rotten Skuntank if he could. He couldn't stop thinking about the devastating attack it did to Venomoth. Des knew he'd avenge his oldest friend. Think hard.

"Reeka, Flamethrower!" The Skuntank shot another flame from her mouth, incinerating the sub. Simultaneously she slid to a stop in front of the place the sub was burning away. "Des, don't make me hurt another one!" Topher shouted out.

Caring is thinking with your heart "What else can I do?!" Des cried out in frustration. "I can't surrender, because you'll take to the PWF. Bullet Punch Scizor!" The Scizor reappeared after the sub burned away, and launched itself towards the skunk. Think hard.
