Pokémon: Darkest Taboo, Pt4.
#5 of Pokémon - Darkest Taboo
Like the last segment there is no actual naughty action going on just more plot, character and background fluff building.
PART FOUR.
In the morning light the first rays of a new day filtered through the curtains of the room jack was using for the night to shelter from the fierce storm that had run ramshackle through that part of the Anthro Region, the damage that had been caused had been impressive but nothing that could not be replaced or rebuilt. The fatalities had been low but as to be expected with such high winds inevitable, it had been a knock to the small box room door that awoke him from his slumber , groggily he got to his feet to find Oni curled up at the bottom of his bed while bunny and Blaze where asleep in each other's arms, were it not been for the patch of red feathers and beige fur laying here he would have thought they had been up to something sexual in the night as it was even in his sleepy mind he could tell they had been fighting again but then again no news their the two of them would all ways arguments that would turn physical. Latter when they wake up themselves they'd be the best of friends again, jack had given up trying to stop them ages ago as it all ways ended up with him getting knocked on his back side fighting over top of him. The door was knocked again.
"I'm coming!"
He announced to who ever was behind the door, turning the handle he opens the door to see the black police uniform belonging to the regions police force, the silver of the badge and buttons played a large part to compliment the whole look of the officials clothing. A Houndoom sat smartly to his right ready to obey what ever command was given to him or her, the Dark Fire type was the equivalent to the Kanto region's Arcanine or the Herdier that the Police in the Unova region would use. The Houndoom was if nothing else intimidating to say the least perfect for keeping people of balance which made it hard to make up any realistic lie.
"Sir we need you come to the main lobby, something happened last night and we are asking every one in the Pokémon centre questions!"
The Police Officer noted sternly, his tone made it clear that it was not so much a request as more of a demand, a tone which caught Sneasel's attention a s he awoke with a stretch before easing down into a crouch. Houndoom began to growl at Oni who just eyed the Pokémon firmly while her claws eased out with an aggressive intent in mind.
"Oni she can be a tad feisty when rudely woken up first thing in the morning"
Jack noted with an apologetic tone as he eases aside so the officer could see she was ready with Steel Claw a move that was super effective against Houndoom since he or she was part Dark Type, The officer looked at the rather unamused feline like Pokémon her ears where laying pushed back and flat against her head in a sure sign of aggression.
"Houndoom Return!"
The Policeman called out holding the Pokéball out and putting the Pokémon away, the Officer was not their to start anything and from the looks of the Sneasel it was more than prepared to go against any command to protect its Trainer.
"You have a very loyal friend their son, but I would like you o come to the lobby...Please?"
The man asked using a different tact to defuse the situation, the Sneasel was calm again and had curled back up at the bottom of the bed but this time with one eye open which was fixed firmly on him.
"Certainly just let me get dressed and freshened up and I'll be right there"
Jack replied still giving a soft polite smile, the Police Officer gave a nod and walked backwards from the door way not intending to turn his back on a Senasel especially with their vicious reputation, he was glad when he the door closed so he could turn around and head to the next room and the trainer or trainers within.
"Well Oni wanna come with me and see what this all about?"
Jack asked the Sneasel.
"Sneasel...Snea!" [May as well!]
Came the dark blue furred Pokémon's replays she grudgingly got to her paw like feet, she would rather have stayed asleep or even returned to her Pokéball and slept in their while being carried a round but someone had to watch her trainers back especially since the other two were still asleep.
The Sneasel stretched and yawned before grabbing Blaze and Bunny's Pokéball's and recalling them both into them with a beam of bright light.
"I should freshen up first but I'll find out what they want first then come back for a shower."
Jack grunted dressing himself, a good ten minutes later in the main lobby Jack arrived to a scean of chaos as Trainers, Breeders and Coordinators all sought answers at the same time from the Police that where holding them in the Pokémon Centre while they investigated what had happened to nurse Joy and the large hole now present in the PokéVault wit a tunnel leading into the nearby forest. The fact the CCTV had been taken out by the perpetrators left the authorities with to many unanswered questions like the two dead Scyther's that may well have been involved in the Nurse Joy's rape.
"I understand peoples frustrations but I must ask you all to calm down and wait while we continue to ask every one questions."
An Officer Jenny announced, like all her female members of her family she looked pretty much identical with the odd subtle differences here and there, there where a lot of rumours going about as to the reasons between this as well as similar ideas about the all most clone like look of all the nurse Joys but they where all conjecture. Jack sighed as he found his gaze moving over to the large map of the world mounted as a large framed picture, there where so many different regions out their some big and well known some small and was not really in the lime light that much.
In-spite of the chaos Officer jenny was just about keeping things from escalating to an all out riot something the Police just didn't have the numbers let alone Pokémon to stop, though even with one of the Jenny's present tempers where starting to fray at the seams.Though it took two hours or more to question every one and still learn nothing of what and happened, Sneasel had curled up on one seat next to her Human and began to snooze with one eye open. She watched one the Officers approach Officer Jenny whispering in her ear.
"We are questioning the last Trainer now but we're getting no where; so what do we do now ma'am?...do we continue to hold them here and question them all again until we find out what actually happened?"
Jenny sighed and slowly shook her head whispering back to him.
"No....If we tried to do that we would have a riot on our hands and while a lot of the trainers here probably are not that strong yet, there would more than likely be those who are and we do not have the force to make everyone stay if they decided to make a fight of it. Besides no matter how many times we ask we'll just keep getting the same answers, so until Joy's finished being treated by gynaecologist and the therapist, we wont get any more answers here."
The Police Officer pops up a salute which is sharply returned by the Jenny who speak out loud to all those in the lobby.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to thank you for your time and your patience, you are all free to go about your business, a Pokémon Nurse has been sent up form the Pokémon League to cover for our Nurse Joy."
Jack was glad to hear this as his own questioning had still been going on and it was quite a tiresome affair with some pock marked officer asking him where he was all night which had been in bed asleep only to then be asked if anyone could corroborate this of course he said his Pokémon which didn't seem to satisfy his interrogator who would ask him again and again.
"Where were you last night, come on lad, you have to tell me the truth?"
The man grumbled at Jack whose reply had become quite repetitive and unchanging.
"In Bed....Asleep!"
The man went to ask again but by now Sneasel had just about enough and jumped down from her seat to stand between the Police Officer and her Trainer a deep violent growl leaving her lips.
"Get your Pokémon under control or I'll do it for you!"
The man noted sternly as he pulled out his own Pokéball and bringing out his Houndoom , Sneasel went for the Pokémon instantly her claws digging into his sides while burying her fangs into the Dark fire Types neck taking the canine of balance. Pulling his side arm with a look of pale fright he was swiftly set upon by a large number of the other nearby Trainers who had been just waiting for a reason to start something.
"Is there a problem here?"
Came Officer Jenny's voice catching the tail end of the somewhat loud conversation, it was starting to draw unwarranted attention by some the other Trainers, Breeder's and Coordinators.
"Yeah this guy provoke his Sneasel then pulled his piece."
One the Trainers snapped back at Jenny.
"LEROY JENKINS!...RECALL YOUR HOUNDOOM NOW!"
She bellows at her subordinate with a angry dangerous glint in her eye as the man did as he was told before holstering his side arm, Officer Jenny was close to breaking point by now and needed to calm things down quickly before the riot she had been trying to avoid kicks off.
"I apologise for Officer Jenkins, he will be dealt with, though I must say that is very loyal Pokémon you have there kid , Looks considerably well looked after, I doubt such a Pokémon would willingly leave your side for a instant...So Sneasel was the your Trainer in bed all night as he claims?"
Jenny asked the Sneasel who gave a sharp nod of her head and a stern tone to her feline voice not that Officer Jenny could understand Pokémon language but the tone and look in Oni's eyes broke through the language barrier adequately enough.
"Snea...Sneasel!" [Yeah he slept like a log!]
The man turned to look at Jenny only to have her raise a hand to silence him.
"I believe you!....Jenkins let's go we're pulling out since there's nothing more we can do right now until forensics have done with the vault and Joy can make a statement.."
With that the local constabulary took their leave, Jack sat back down and started to shake from the stress and sheer ordeal of it all, Oni gave soft reassuring purr as she jumped up on to his lap and hooked her arms around the back of his neck and began grooming his neck with her long rough tongue. Holding her close buries his face against her soft warm fur glad it was all over with and that Oni was There in his arms as many of the individuals present continued to discuses their outrage amongst each other at being forced to stay there for so long like that.
