*faced with a much-too-powerful opponent, killua once again is overtaken by the voice of illumi in his head commanding him to keep running mechanically onward. but the scent of gon's hot blood gushing out melts the ice in killua's veins, plunging him into burning terror.*

gon!

*he whips around, but the trainer has already captured his friend, confining him to a tiny sphere in their bag. he wants to fight back, but after seeing what the hellhound did to him, he can't imagine he'll be able to do anything but get caught as well. and so, he's forced to follow illumi's advice.*

dammit!

*while the trainer is distracted praising their pokémon for the capture, killua takes off down the path and darts into the underbrush, praying the hellhound won't be able to follow. he has to come up with a plan to free gon from the trainer's ball or he'll be stuck in this room forever!*
