Destiny for Two Pt 2
I had apparently been awake at some point during my fatigue-induced coma, but only long enough to get some food in my stomach. When I fell back into my half coma sleep, I saw some familiar events unfolding that I'd hoped I wouldn't have to see again. However this time the dream started playing out slightly different, as if some part of my mind had locked away parts of the events that took place.
"You will never succeed with this plan!" Steve yelled with tears in his eyes, as I peeked through the little hole in the wall.
"Its only a matter of time before everyone submits, and seeing as how you're non-compliant I think its time to put you all to sleep." The grunt named Derrik said as he grinned menacingly, pulling out what appeared to be a handgun. Shooting Steve in the head execution style he turned his attention to the Pokamon battle at hand on the other side of the room. Steve's wife Paula had already been shot and her body was in Steve's arms on the ground.
His Pokamon were battling my mother and father, Torch and Luca, but were getting nowhere until one of the Pokamon, being a Noctowl, used hypnosis on my father. He immediately fell asleep falling to the floor with a thud. My mother, being exhausted due to battling for over an hour with Derrik's Pokamon was starting to slip up in her battle tactics and got caught by a wrap attack from an Arbok.
"Good boy Sting, maybe after this we can make her submit and produce a Riolu for our boss." Derrik said as he started moving closer to her. As he got closer, the Arbok moved her into a more compromising position and he started to unzip his pants.
"NO! I will never let you do something so vile to me!" With that she started charging her body with electricity in an attempt to use her thunderbolt on the Arbok, but it was no use, the energy was being drained from her body due to the lack of oxygen to her lungs. "Don't watch this!" She wailed as the man got closer and was about to do something unspeakable. I assumed she was speaking to me when she said this, but out of the corner of the peep whole I saw my father unleash a powerful flamethrower at the Arbok's head causing it to lose its grip on her. Being able to move again, she kicked as hard as she could at the mans belly making him double over in pain, as my father grabbed the Arbok by the head and unleashed another flamethrower straight down its throat burning through the back of its head.
However Derrik had regained his composure and leveled the gun at my fathers left leg firing a bullet right into his thigh. Screaming my father fell to the ground trying to keep himself from passing out he looked over in horror as my mother was being smacked in the side of the head with the butt of the gun, and Derrik had proceeded to pull his pants down.
"For all the trouble you have caused me you will suffer greatly! Now you lay there and watch." With that last statement he fired another round into my fathers right shoulder, effectively making him useless to fighting back. Derrik then turned back around to my mother and said, "Now your turn." He then proceeded to rape her right there on the floor in a pool of her own blood from the strike to her head.
Upon hearing her screams, in my dream, I woke in a violent fashion charging my legs with the energy to perform a Blaze Kick. My senses however were immediately assaulted by the smell of burning flesh and screams all around me so I discharged the energy created and ran out the nearest doorway I saw. That doorway lead to a large den area, which I assumed, was a family room because it had small mounds of straw in circle around a makeshift table. I saw orange light pouring from one of the doorways in this room so I immediately ran through it and my eyes were assaulted by a blinding inferno that had engulfed what I could only guess was a village. The first thing I saw was a human standing in the middle of the village giving orders to an Arcanine that was steadily keeping a flamethrower going as he spun around. I then went into a meditative state and decided to try using an earthquake attack that I had gotten a wild Graveller to teach me. Once I had focused all of my aura energy into my legs I jumped up and slammed onto the ground with enough force to make a mountain shudder. The shockwave resulting from this slam then radiated out towards the Arcanine and caused severe damage to his legs due to the ground cracking and crumbling underneath him.
The human then looked to where the shockwave had come from and said. "Spike there he is, attack him now!"
With that command the giant, giant compared to me, canine charged at me using Extreme Speed and vanished only to appear behind me with his mouth ignited for a Fire Fang attack. Coming closer to my neck I could smell this beasts breath, heavy with the smell of fire, bearing down on me. In those few seconds I thought all had been lost, when out of nowhere a Lopunny slammed into the Arcanine's side with a take down attack sending him sliding to his masters feet. The human had to recall the Arcanine due to the fact that it had been knocked out, which is better than what it deserved in my opinion. After recalling the Arcanine, which was apparently his only Pokamon, the human retreated back into the forest surrounding us.
With all the energy in my body spent I again passed out on the forest floor.
?
All I could see was darkness, then out of nowhere colors exploded from a central point in front of me. I awoke to a slap to the face from a Lopunny that had the scent of the male that had carried me to the village all over her.
(Lopunny female) Wake up little Riolu! You have been passed out for far too long and your body will not survive if u keep this up.
(Me) Ok I'm up, I'm up. You don't have to be so rough.
(Lopunny female) Apparently that's the only way you will respond since gentle caresses and shaking do not work.
I looked up to see two females, one a buneary and the other a Lopunny, and a male Lopunny looking down at me with concern written all over their faces.
"Where are we?" I asked a little confused.
"We are deep inside Ilex forest young one." The male Lopunny said with a half smile on his face.
"Our village was attacked in the middle of the night by a human and an Arcanine which you tried to fend off in your weakened state. Do you remember?"
Shaking my head in agreement I looked around at our surroundings and noticed that I was lying on the ground just outside of the hut I ran out of just hours before. I then tried to pull myself into a sitting position but was restrained by the female Lopunny.
"You shouldn't move until you eat something and regain your strength." She said.
"If its ok with you son, we would like to know who you are and why that man had been tracking you." Said the male Lopunny with that concerned look still on his face.
"I'm fine telling you who I am, I'm Jude. As for why those people are trying to get me, I really don't know other than the fact that every time they have sent someone after me their people have died horrible deaths."
I then proceeded to tell them the story of how my parents and their trainers were both executed by the Enclave and how I had survived by hiding in the wall. Once the man who killed my parents left the house I had decided to take off after him and try to kill him myself. However; when I found him just outside of our house I had attacked him with such ferocity that I had torn his left eye out of his skull and ripped the same ear off of his head. Just after I had done that some other human in his group of people set his Pokamon on me and after I had been sent into a rage I blacked out.
After hearing my story the female Lopunny had tears streaming from her eyes from the shear sadness of the story. The little Buneary, which I assumed was their daughter, was also in tears as the male embraced them both with me in the middle trying to calm them down and giving me a sense of comfort I hadn't felt in a long time.
"Also, I was wondering why you have wrist spikes even though you are only a Riolu?" Said the male Lopunny.
"That I do not know either. After one of the attacks they made on me I had blacked out as usual and when I awoke next I had gained the wrist spikes of my evolved form." I said. "Would you mind telling me your names so that I know who my gratitude for saving me belongs to?"
The male Lopunny was taken back by my question realizing they had not even thought of telling him their names yet. "My name is Luke, this is my mate Joslin, and this is our daughter Luna."
"Pleased to meet you, and thank you for at least trying to help save our village." Luna exclaimed.
"Likewise young Jude, if not for you then the whole village would still be burning even now." Said Joslin. Embracing me in a rather painful hug.
With a grim look on my face I said, "I would have killed him if not for the period of sleep I had to endure for recovery."
With a gasp from all three of them, Joslin said. "Why would you ever willingly kill another Pokamon?"
"Any Pokamon that corrupts themselves like the Enclaves Pokamon do deserve to die. They have no compassion and no remorse, and kill for no reason. I have seen it and felt it first hand through the power of aura." I said with tears starting to form in my eyes, remembering my parents as they fought off the Enclave Pokamon that night.
"You should never think that a Pokamon cannot be converted back, and that the only answer is to kill them." This time Luna was bawling her eyes out at the thought of a death.
"Lets get you inside little guy." Luke said as he lifted me up and carried me into their hut.
For the next few days I laid in bed being fed regularly by Luke, Joslin, and Luna. Each day I got out of bed and started getting myself back in shape by doing what the humans called "push-ups" and "sit-ups". Each day I also learned more and more of this village's history and how it was established. Apparently a group of Pokamon had been trying to find a refuge from the humans that were hounding them relentlessly and they wandered into this forest. Finding that the humans easily got lost upon trying to follow the Pokamon in the forest, the Pokamon decided to establish this village of Sunvale for all who did not wish to live as trainer pets. Although all Pokamon knew that most trainers were good, the ones in this village did not want to risk getting a trainer that would use them for evil purposes as the Enclave members were doing.
On my forth day of recovery I was finally able to go outside and look at the damage the Arcanine had caused, which after three days of restoration had been mostly repaired.
"It seems our little Riolu guest is finally able to get out and about." Luke said with a smile.
All around me were different Pokamon of different species working together on the restoration of the village. Luke was helping direct Pokamon to area's where their talents would be most useful.
"Come here little guy, lets have a look at you." He said as I walked toward him. Other than the various scars from my previous battles with Enclave Pokamon, and the missing part of my tail where a Scyther had gotten a lucky slash attack off on me, I was doing much better thanks to Luna and Joslin's nursing. "Looks like you could help out with repairs if you want to Jude."
"Yes sir, where do you want me?"
"Could you go help bring water back to the village from the stream? Go get Luna to help you and to guide you to the stream." He said with enthusiasm.
With that I was off to find Luna. I found he in one of the rooms of their hut lying on a mat of hay taking a quick nap in the middle of the day. I walked over where she was lying down, and gently nudged her on the shoulder. She started to stir and looked at me in surprise. She immediately started blushing for some reason, and I informed her that I needed to go get some water from the stream and that she was to help me and guide me there. She quickly said ok and we both left the hut.
"So... what happened to your tail Jude?" she asked trying not to sound too rude about my deformity.
I told her, "Never get in a fight with a Scyther that has been corrupted. He/She becomes four times faster and more powerful."
She said, "Oh." She said with a thoughtful look in her eyes "Did it hurt?"
"Oh yeah, it hurt a lot when it happened, although I don't remember what happened after he struck me. I blacked out when he did it. The Scyther had belonged to a member of the Enclave so it was a fight to the death once he started attacking." I said as I looked over at her.
We continued to the stream without incident and got water, and then went back. Things continued like this for a few more days until the village was finally restored. At which point everyone in the village gathered around the middle of the village and had a giant meeting.
"How did he find this Village?" One woman cried out.
"They must have followed the scent of that damn Riolu that Luke found." Said a man in the crowd.
"We need to get rid of him then!" Yelled out another person.
"Everyone calm down. We will not kick anyone out of our village, the guardian of this forest would never forgive us for that." Said one man standing in the middle of the crowd trying to delegate all of the chaos from the villagers. I was later told that his name was Paul.
After many heated comments and much deliberation the gathering was disbanded and everyone returned to their homes for the night.
Later that night Luke, Joslin, Luna and I were all sitting at their table eating. "I want to thank you for all of you hospitality but I think I need to leave now."
"No Jude you still need to recover. We can't just let you leave knowing you could faint again without anyone around to help you." Joslin explained.
"I have burdened this town long enough, and since the Enclave has already found where I am again, its not safe for anyone here if I stay." I said as I started to get up from the table
"Honey I think its time. Jude, take Luna with you. If they return, they will either try capturing us or killing any who will not join and we couldn't bear for our daughter to go through the same thing you had to go through." Luke said with a sad voice, that had a hint of a quiver to it.
"I understand sir, but she would only slow me down. If I leave the village I can draw them away by spreading my scent away from the village. They will have no reason to come here then."
"I would not slow you down. I can fight just as good as my parents, maybe even better. What makes you so special that they would follow your scent away from here anywa-" Luna said in an angry tone, with a frustrated look on her face.
Luke cut her off before she could finish by saying, "I know you think she would slow you down, but its better she go with you and make sure your safe than stay here with us get killed."
With that said, Luna looked at her father about ready to cry and said, "What do you mean daddy?"
"We have reports from some of the Growlithe and Mightyena that there are multiple humans getting ready to come into the village and start trying to capture us. The one that attacked the village with the Arcanine lead them straight to us and the Arcanine he used is with him and fully restored. I was told that he does not look too happy about being beaten all those days ago, and this time he's out for blood." Luke explained as they all looked at each other in disbelief.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner Luke! You know I'm the reason they are here, I need to stay a fight along side you." I exclaimed with increasing volume in my voice.
"No Jude, we want you to take our daughter out of here. She has never experienced violence of this magnitude before and we don't want her exposed to it." Said Luke in a rather forceful tone. "Besides, you are the only one that can keep her safe if I'm correct based on the scars on your body. You have survived this long alone and its time you had someone to help you."
"Search for the legendary Pokamon and seek their guidance on what you should do to help stop the Enclave's conquest of the land. They may have some answers for you about why you keep blacking out also." Joslin said with a slight amount of enthusiasm in her voice.
With that I decided to take Luna with me as per her parents request. We left the house shortly after the conversation in hopes to get a head start on our quest, and decided we should camp out by the river.
Once again, I was awakened by the sounds of screaming and fire, only this time I could smell death in the air. I looked where Luna had fallen asleep across the little campfire we had set up and she was gone. My immediate thought was that she ran back to the village to help fight. So I went straight there, but what I saw when I got there was terrible. I saw two Enclave members raping a Gardevoir and a Weavile. Some Enclave members using Scythers and Sceptile to rip open a few of the Villagers in ways I couldn't even begin to describe. I also saw some of them just using weapons like guns and swords to slaughter the males of the village.
"We will take whatever females are too weak to resist and use them for sex slaves for the men when they get bored, and kill all of the males that don't join us." Said a man that looked familiar to me.
As I looked closer, I was beginning to remember who he was when I was blindsided by an intense heat to the left side of my body. I had been hit by a Flamethrower attack from the very Arcanine from the other night. Luckily my father was a Blaziken and that gave me a resistance to fire attacks. I quickly jumped up and turned to face the beast.
"Its time to repay you for that Earthquake from the other night little boy!" The Arcanine snarled as he started to use extreme speed.
I was one step ahead of him though as I was executing my earthquake attack as he finished talking. The shockwave spread around me and immediately made contact with the Arcanine, which was now a blur of an image to the untrained eye. As he was hit by the attack he started staggering so I took the opportunity to use my psychic attack and throw him into the nearest human which was chasing a Lopunny, I could only guess that he was trying to capture or rape her I wasn't sure. Getting hit like this the Arcanine let out a Roar that sent shivers down my spine and charged me again with Extreme speed. Only this time he was fast enough to get to me before I could react and he had used Fire Fang to bite down on my neck, effectively paralyzing me. He picked me up still holding me in his fangs and walked to his master.
"ARCA!" the Arcanine said in a muffled voice toward his master who was turned around distracted by something.
When he turned around I widened my eyes in a surprised look. The man had Luna by the ears making her watch as he raped her mother Joslin's bruised and battered body repeatedly. Joslin was able to move her head enough to look at me with tears in her eyes and mouth the words 'he's dead' with her last ounce of strength.I could only guess that she was talking about luke in that instance.
Seeing all of this my mind snapped and I felt a wellspring of energy flow through my body. I began to change in every way possible as my arms and legs grew longer and my body grew wider making the Arcanine lose his grip on me and drop me to the ground. Once the transformation was done I pushed myself off the ground into a jump and unleashed an Earthquake as I hit the ground again. Then I immediately used a Blaze kick on the head of the man holding Luna and Joslin caving in the side of his skull with the force of the hit. I then turned my attentions to the Arcanine who had recovered from the Earthquake rather quickly, and was trying to get off an Extreme speed attack. My body was working in overtime and all of my abilities were enhanced. I charged at him at blinding speeds and sent a force palm straight into his chest. The attack was so strong his chest exploded and he fell dead to the ground. I then started attacking any member of the Enclave in sight killing each in an equally gruesome fashion until I could remember nothing more that happened as I blacked out yet again.
