Eyes like Wildfire

It was always so dark around here.

As Amber paced around the Leader's Chamber, she began lighting candles restlessly. Their faint glow danced off her purple eyes like firecrackers. Her Espeon Malice rubbed against her leg affectionately, and she extended her hand out to stroke the Pokemon's lilac coat.
The large iron doors to the inner chamber slowly creaked open, and two Shadow grunts walked in nervously.
"What is it?" She muttered coldly, never turning her gaze upon them.
"Ms. Amber," One of them began quietly, "our trip to Cascade City was successful. We managed to loot dozens of water and grass Pokemon."
Amber's dark lips turned upward in the slightest hint of a smile. "Very good. You may leave me now."
The two grunts shuffled out of the room as fast as their feet could carry them. She turned, her vibrant gaze falling upon Malice once more. The cat-like Pokemon's dark eyes scanned her own with just as much icy life within them.
"Let us greet our new arrivals, shall we?"
Malice let out a quiet grumble of approval as Amber began to walk to her right, through another set of doors within the chamber. Many different corridors and rooms in the lower level of the temple connected in some way, although the inner chambers were the only cleaned up areas. Holding the path open for Malice, she allowed her Espeon to lead the way to the cages. She could hear the cries of frightened Pokemon, and her mouth twisted into the slightest hint of a sinister grin.
As they rounded a corner, suddenly the cage room was in sight. This room was large in size, although not quite as large as the initial inner chamber was; massive steel cages were placed on top of one another lining every wall. Most of the cages housed various Pokemon. In the center of the room was a small table and some chairs, as well as a make shift fireplace.
She continued to the far corner of the room where all the newest arrivals were held. As she passed the cages, she eyed each new Pokemon with very little interest. Squirtle, vaporeon, Vileplume...
Amber stopped suddenly, gazing into one of the cages. A large blastoise glared out at her, his water pumps tied off so they couldn't aim. He was fighting against his restraints.
"Where did you get this one?" She asked casually, and the grunt caring for the stolen Pokemon shuffled his feet.
"New arrival, from Cascade City."
Amber smirked. "I want this one... He's got some fight in him."
The grunt nodded, placing a black Pokeball into his leader's hands. "This is the Shadowball we caught him with."
"Perfect." Pressing the return, Amber tossed the catching device at the large Pokemon and watched as he angrily disappeared within it. She picked the ball up, clipping it to her Pokeball holder. "Good job. Take the night off."
As the grunt happily skittered away, Amber took in the sight of all of her new prizes with sick glee.
