How cyndaquil got free by WyldClaw
plot : very short Side Story to Devon's Despicable Plan. I own nothing but the Espreon. It takes place when ash and misty are battling Espreon and Teriados.
XxX
Hearing the battle Cyndaquil felt useless. It was horrible hearing her friends' cries plus the gloating of that evil Espreon and unable to help. She couldn't bear what she was hearing. She tugged at the fireproof collar around her neck but it didn't budge. She tried an Ember but got a sharp zap from the ring around her back in return. I wish I could help them.
She heard a sharp cry of pain from Corsola. (Please beat this monster) she whispered but she knew it wasn't going to be easy. If Corsola won Devon would use another one of his ruthless Pokémon or worse- one of his despicable man made creations for the second round. She shivered-she'd fought his horrible Teriados- a monstrous mix of Sandslash & Ariados with wings sharp to slice through a tree trunk. She barely pulled through that battle.
She saw a huge bolt of electricity come from the sky and heard Pikachu cry (and THIS is for Cyndaquil!) The Espreon screeched with agony when the attack hit. He must have knocked out Espreon with Thunder because the Shadow Hold vanished. But she still had the ring/ collar one and her paws tied up. I failed. It's my fault they are fighting she thought with a heavy heart as she was forced to listen to the battle. She didn't like hearing her friends get beaten by that horrendous human.His grudge is against me. What does he want with them that he have to use me as bait?
Soon she heard a loud ZZZZZAAAAP and a very loud shout of pain from her trainer. (NOOOOOOOO-) she screamed as she struggled to free herself. She was rewarded by a very painfully shock from the ring. Her mind from the horrific sounds of the fight to to the good times she had with him. (I have to warn him. but how can I escape?)
Devon's beatings had left her thin and weak. It didn't help that he pretty much starved her. She tried again but got a sharper zap this time. she looked up into the sky. She whispered (please. Somebody anybody … help). A big fat tear rolled down her bruised face and onto the ground.
No sooner had the tear absorbed into the ground there was a flash of light and Quilava's ghost appeared. (Q-Quil-M-Mom?)
The ghost nodded as she padded up to her chained foster daughter. . (I'm here,,, sweet-) the ghost's eyes went wide as Everstones when she saw the state Cyndaquil was in . the spots on her back and her forehead list up in pale blazing transparent flames and her eyes flashed. ( holy pokegods!) she whispered. ( baby .. what happened to you?)
Cyndaquil felt her dry throat choke as she tried to say the words. ( h-h-help..D-d-devon. K-kidnapped me a-a-and…) she trailed off, not knowing how to explain the abuse she had endured or what she'd learned.
(I know sweetheart. You were very very brave .) Quilava licked her forehead . The feeling of that ghostly tongue gave her strength.
(u-used m-m-me as… b-bait. Devon' going to or do something evil to them. - s-said that he has gonna get them for his b-boss.. need to stop d-dev-..) she tugged at the collar but got an electric shock in return,
She winced in pain and saw her foster mother's ghost's eyes flash fiercely as she looked at the chains.
The spirit held up a silver see through forepaw. Her eyes were fierce. (We can't allow him to do that. His boss is … beyond evil. He'll do .. unspeakable things to them )
Cyndaquil's question was barely a dry whisper. (y-you've m-met him?)
(yes.) The spirit sadly nodded. Cyndaquil knew there was some bad/sad history- history that was long since buried and part of the earth along with Quilava's body . (we have to stop him before your trainer gives in.)
the fire type shuddered. ( h-he t-told Ash he'd let-me … go …if..he won) she told the ghost.
Quilava snorted. ( and Umbreons evolve during the day.) She studied the chains hold cyndaquil prisoner. ( Those chains are near impossible to break… but there is one flaw in them)
(What?)
(They can't stand evolution or a strong boost of power.)
(M-m-me? Evolve? B-b-but-) she stammered. She had heard how evolution not only changed your body but also your mind and personality. She'd heard tales how it made pokemon totally go berserk if said pokemon wasn't ready.. She knew Bayleef had gone through a tough transition after she evolved . but she didn't feel right evolving- she liked the way she was and didn't want to change.
Quilava smiled. (I understand your concern. you don't want to evolve now and I completely respect that. But If I possess you for a short while I will be able to give you a power boost. A power boost sort of like evolution-one strong enough for the chains to break and to save your trainer but not enough to evolve you)
(y-You can do that?)
She nodded. (From what I've been told. It's a strange sensation. You are in your own mind and can still see and hear what's going on but can't control your own body. I won't take control of it for long- spirits like me can only possess creatures for a brief time for we are but a shell of ourselves. Can you mange that)
(I think so.) Cyndaquil said. (Will it hurt?)
The ghost shook her head. (It might be a bit cold at first when I first enter your body,)
(D-Devon had some h-hybrids he locked up somewhere. They're my friends. What about them?)
The spirit smiled warmly. (They'll be rescued in time. are you ready?)
Cyndaquil nodded. (You can still talk to me through your thoughts until I leave your body.)
The spirit touched her nose to Cyndaquil's own muzzle and a chill went through her body. It was like being plunged into ice –cold water. she saw a bright light en engulf her surroundings and heard something crack, She opened her eyes and felt her injures. But there was something like a warm comforting presence in her mind.
M-Mom? She looked down saw her good forepaw flick and smiled. They were going to save the day.
The End
