That Dream Again
Adon stood over the giant Rydon pokemorph, his teeth and sword covered in blood. Adon looked up at the crowd and held his sword sideways over the other pokemorph as the crowd all gave the thumbs down. With the rydons fate decided he pointed the sword down towards the other morph and with both hands thrust down to give him the finishing blow.
Adon awoke gasping for air, his bod covered in a cold sweat, he looked around quickly to see where he was. "That dream again" he said putting his hand on his forehead taking in a deep breath to steady his racing heart, once again he looked up to see himself in his small one bedroom apartment room and not the Arena. "Arena" he said softly chuckling, it had been 2 years since the police had raided the illegal pokemorph arena where he and several other morphs had been forced to fight and kill one another just to eat and sleep for another day. Adon shuddered as the memories came flooding back into his mind like a tidal wave, he sighed and got out of bed deciding since he was now up he may as well go out.
Adon stood in the shower leaning against the wall as the hot water rolled over his back washing away he sweat but revealing scars on him that resembled stab and slash wounds. Adon tried to calm himself down in the shower but sue to his sensitive hearing the small droplets of water sounded much like the arena, the splashes reminded him of the crowds thunderous roar as the pokemorphs fought to kill one another for the pleasure, the water that rolled over him felt like the blood that he had been soaked in many a times when having killed other pokemorph he fought, and the sound of the water draining reminded him of the hiss of sword on sword contact. Adon clenched his fist as again the Rydon flashed through his head, his mind replayed the entire nightmare through his head over and over again until the noise of the water became to unbearable and he his body erupted into flames send a cascade of steam up and out of the shower dousing the intense flames just as quickly as they had appeared. Adon's mind race as he reached over and turned the nob to shut off the shower and grabbed a towel covering himself and looking over at the clock which read 11:30 PM, he shrugged to himself and said to himself "Good thing it is the weekend" as he went to get dressed.
Adon walked along the street alone, he passed humans and pokemorphs alike all pre-occupied with their own things. Adon sighed as he walked along the sidewalk until he saw a little bar tucked away down an alley with a sign that read Firemane. Curious he walked through the door and was immediately assaulted by so many scents from his over sensitive nose he had to back up, after a minute of letting his sense come back to normal he looked around the small bar. To both his surprise and intrigue the bar was almost full of people even though he didn't see much traffic going in or out when he had walked down the alley.
Adon sat at the bar and once again looked around. Up on a stage was a beautiful and buxom Rapidash female singing a melodic song that warmed the soul, to his left was a female Meowstic waitress who body had all the right curves, as well there was a female Arcanine dressed in a very form fitting suite talking with a liquor distributor on her cell. "Well your new here, haven't seen you before cutie" said the bar maid, Adon had been caught off guard by the woman's voice and when he turned his jaw dropped. Before him stood a female Umbreon whose fur seemed to glisten in the shadowed bar, after catching himself staring at her perfect form he cleared his throat and said "uh--yeah I-I just moved here from Luminose city, the names Adon" he said seeing the Umbreon giggle and reply "well Adon, welcome to our little city and welcome to Firemane, my name is Lumina what can I get you."
