Pokémon: Darkest Taboo, Pt137
[Took awhile, to get this right as a characters introduction a protagonists team tends to require finesse to ease it in just right, if you shoe horn it in with hammer and chisel it rarely tends to work to well, but at 2,370 words I think I nailed the introduction.]
PART: ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY SEVEN.
F loating in near darkness with only the purple energy of her very presence illuminating the meeting room the alpha mismagius waited patiently her pokégg floating just behind her flanked by two regular sized flutter mane pokémon. Both watching the still developing offspring like a hawk, their own energy providing an eerie lighting effect for the entire room. The alpha pokémon felt a sense of euphoria even now as the egg Jack had fertilised with her was several times that of a regular pokégg. She was positive something quite rare had been sired, an alpha pokémon. Hence two of her most trusted subordinates guarding it while she concluded the final pieces to her machinations, the newest human to the club held great potential for be it greatness of harrowing ill for both the region as well as those across the waters. He may even choose to be neither, seeking instead a peaceful carefree life it was the latter she would prefer. While Ahsoka and those of her ilk troubled the pokémon greatly, in her eyes they were as much a threat as the pokémon league itself, however Team Rocket at the very least if nothing else was more honest about their unscrupulous activities in their desire to exploit others for their greed of monetary gains, even to go so far as to use pokémon brothels to tap into the highly lucrative poképhile market.
The large alpha ghost pokémon closed her eyes for a few seconds as thought on this, prostitution was the oldest profession in nature, selling sexual favours to one party for what the other party needed. It was something even modern times still happened amongst both the domesticated as well as wild pokémon alike, even human breeders profited from breeding those pokémon in their care with those of other breeders for what they wanted. Opening her eyes she turned her gaze towards the meeting room door, she could feel the presence of the living approaching.
“Enter!”
She announced the door opening as if seemingly on their own, her spoken voice had been a hushed whisper akin to an eerie cacophony that carried to those that had approached even as they touched the door handle. Her eyes followed Jacks team move to put themselves between her and their human, the way they moved instinctively without being commanded to was yet further proof if she ever needed it that he would be a good fit for the club.
“Be at ease, I have no cause to be your enemy”
The mismagius noted with a calm tone to her voice, her words portrayed their intent towards all of those present. At that point as if on cue, Eva who had been stood beside Jack bowed her head respectfully before leaving the room closing door behind her.
“I see your mate is not present?”
The ghost type mused in way of breaking the ice.
“Ahsoka’s discussing arrangements for a time slot at the gym, Toph’s with her”
Jack replied happily, his eyes looking up at the mismagius then to the flutter mane’s behind her, he had never seen any pokémon like them as such he found himself curious about them with an eagerness to learn more.
“Oh wow, who are they? They look amazing!”
He added swiftly, this caught the other two ghost types by surprise, both looking at each other with a sense of uncertainty of how to react. The mismagius softly laughed in amusement at how he referred to them as ‘who’ rather that ‘what’ as many trainers may have done at first.
“These are two of my colleges, they amongst others deal with security, there are many who would try to catch and sell the more…hmnnn, how to put it…rare pokémon members of our community.”
She smiled slowly, the flutter mane’s almost seemed to be floating a bit more proudly now at hearing how the mismagius had chosen to introduce them.
“Right now, they guard my unhatched child”
The Alpha pokémon revealed, had there been anyone present she was sure she would have kept that titbit of information to herself.
“Smart”
Oni chuckled with an approving nod, the weavile knew very little about the vocation of pokémon poaching save for just how she despised those that participated such an unsavoury profession, still even she could tell how valuable to some a pokégg from a pokémon as insanely rare as an alpha pokémon most be. It would have been foolish not to take precautions especially with Ahsoka’s presence in the club’s facilities, however the weavile choose to hold her tongue on that point if only for Jacks benefit if nothing else.
Blaze stepped back a few steps to ease behind her Jack as though acting as his own personal guard, Lucy on the looked quite confused as to why the mismagius was so much larger than normal. Eventually the jackal pokémon decided it was not her place to question it. A sudden ear-piercing screech of alarm from the flutter mane’s as bunny blurred into existence beneath the egg as if from nowhere from nowhere.
“You fucked a human, didn’t you?”
Bunny asked out of the blue, the two ghost pokémon now snapping out of tehir shock looked as if ready to attack her, a look from the mismagius held the two ghost types from throwing themselves at the lopunny, the alpha pokémon felt somewhat unnerved at just how the rabbit had deduced so much from just looking at the pokégg.
“When it comes to fucking human’s, I have sense about these things, though I have a feeling it’s an alpha pokémon thing, shame really as I’d love to have Jack sire my buneary”
Bunny grinned lewdly, deliberately walking not hopping back over to her human to slip a paw firmly into his hand.
** “Ahem yes, uh...right the reason I asked for you to be here Ja..ahem my apologise, Mr Thornton.”**
The mismagius started only to catch herself midsentence and correcting herself before continuing.
“A particular pokémon has approached the club seeking an introduction for membership to your party, whether or not your wish to humour their request is entirely up to you…however considering that they chose to protect recently, it might be rude to turn their request down out of hand.”
Jack listed to the mismagius word for word, waiting for her to finish making his response without even taking a moment to consider if he should or not.
“Sure, though they could have just popped up in front of me, if your there watching, please come out?”
Oni; Blaze and Bunny turned to glare at him as if he just said something stupid like fire was cold or water was dry.
“And to think, I even had a decently rehearsed speech to deliver while you thought about the potential of such an offer, but instead you have opted to simply just jump in feet first?...Indeed, you truly are an interesting one.”
The alpha pokémon chuckled softly as Jack’s own shadow stretched out before him in an unnatural manner as though shadow had condensed into had been thick gelatinous ichor from which the familiar form of a gardevoir slowly arose up from its depths.
“Greetings, I am Erillia, though please I pray that you give proper thought towards my request”
She announced, her words spoken with a male voice that held a silky soft female voice just underneath in a way that was both parts disturbing as it was alluring.
“You’re that gardevoir from the other day?”
Lucy mused; her comment more of a question than a statement, the gardevoir remaining head bowed upon one knee Infront of Jack; answered the lucario’s query without looking at lucy once as she did so.
“It is true, the other day with the swalot was not the first time we have met, I have been watching you for some time, while somethings where outside my power I have watched from afar”
Erillia started her reply only for Blaze this time to interrupt as she now speak up.
“Like that salazzle back in forest city? the phantom pokémon targeted my Jack again didn’t he, but not being able to get at him turned the salazzle on its own human instead?”
Blaze mused her mind jumping to this conclusion, once more the gardevoir went to speak wanting to articulate the explanation she had planned to utilise for this but even as she went to speak Bunny piped up.
“All those fancy expensive gear we found in obscura forest, poaches I bet, yeah?”
Bunny asked, Erillia sighed her head lifting to look at Oni as if expecting her to interrupt next though the weavile just gestured for her to answer.
“Thank you, humans where out in force their intentions as nefarious as they were unwholesome, I dealt with them appropriately, though I believe you also have a question too?”
She asked with a grateful smile at being allowed to answer at least one of the questions put to her.
“Some time back at a motel, something happened and your scent was present, was that you?”
Oni spoke, her voice seemingly extra chilly than normal, her ruthless malicious eyes focused upon the fairy psychic type before them. The gardevoir knew what was being spoken about, as such the gravity of what she said next would either make or break her chances maybe even force her to fight for her very life.
“Before I answer, please know…my mental abilities are based mostly around the manipulation of the physical rather than the mental”
Erillia noted, as giving some context to help emphasise what she said next.
“I was present this is true, though I could not prevent nor stop what happened, though I truly wish I could have.”
The gardevoir whispered in a hushed tones her eyes lowered a genuine sense of shame, for some time Oni glared at her before shaking her head slowly her tone while still cold was not filled with the intention to rend flesh from bone.
“As you said, your power works best on physical matter, not upon a person’s mind. You then choose to follow us out of some pathetic sense of shame, still though you have shown you could be of some use.”
Oni mused with a disinterested tone in her voice for the explanation that had been given, however the weavile was appreciative that the gardevoir had been subtle about her answers. In so much as not giving away any information that could have trigger a total recall of what had happened to Jack that night. While Oni had no desire to express it, she was grateful Erillia had tried to help her Jack while she, arceus curse her for doing so; had slept soundly in the warmth of the motel room.
“It’s your choice Jack, but she has my vote, and sure the others concur with me”
Oni mused folding her arms, Jack looked around at the rest of his inhuman friends for a few seconds as he reached his decision. With some effort along with Blaze’s assistance ease down in to a crouch before the gardevoir.
“Welcome to the family!”
He smiled holding a hand out to her, turning her gaze to his she looks into his eyes half expecting to see some traces of deceit or fear that she had seen in so many other humans but there was none.
“I thank you!”
She spoke, feeling a sense of unease at putting herself into the care of a human after so very long.
“Of course you’ll have to fuck him, it’s one part of our initiation into the group”
Bunny chuckled, Blaze backed up her teammates comment with a wide grin or as much of one that a beak could express, Lucy menatime just coyly looked away as if the subject was a little too much for her to openly express.
“I would be happy to show my fealty by breeding him, but I do not think he would entertain having another male penetrate his mouth or rectum.”
Erillia announced confusing both the blaziken and the lucario.
“Yeah, I can get behind that, not the first to be born in the wrong body, probably not the last!”
Bunny mused jumping to conclusions then with a sigh attempted to explain it a bit more clearly to her team mates.
“Basically, arceus messed up; putting a male soul into a female body when their hatched and vice versa”
The Bunny articulated what she meant the best way she could, thankfully Lucy along with Blaze both seemed to get what the she meant; that or they were just smiling and nodding their heads to humour her while not understanding one thing that had been spoken. At least that was what Erillia assumed, as for her part the gardevoir choose to just go with this rabbit pokémons misconception, having neither the desire or disposition to correct the lopunny’s perspective, especially when the past for her was akin to some festering wound that that caused nothing but pain heart ache that refused to heal.
“Well then, it would seem it unanimous, welcome to the team, and please don’t knee, I’m nothing worthy of tha…”
Jack almost finished saying when he was sent face first into the ground from a back handed slap of Blazes talon.
“I told you what’d happen; if spoke shit like that again!”
The large fighting type clucked cracking her knuckles, Oni turned to frown at Blaze with her hands on her slender hips. The sound of Bunny face palming filed the room while Lucy just looked on in stunned confusion as to what was happening.
“Way to read the room, you oversized drumstick!”
The weavile grumped in annoyance, Erillia could not help but feel the ends of her slit like lipless mouth move in an upward angle as an alien sound escape, a sound she had not made in a long time…a joyous giggling laugh that caused her to blush and raise a hand to her mouth in surprise.
“Go on, join them, your part of this chaotic; dysfunctional; magnificent mess”
The alpha pokémon chuckles softly floating down behind Erillia and with a gentle push between the backs of the gardevoirs shoulders, urged the fairy/psychic type forwards towards a new start.
