Chapter one- Visitors at the Inferno Mansion

It was a dark and stormy night, thunder boomed making Pheyer twitch, her houndoom lifted his head towards her direction.

"I'm so bored here, " said Pheyer to her houndoom, He let out a short bark in agreement. She was the first occupant in the huge mansion in over one hundred years. She had just started warming her feet by the fire when her murkrow flew in drenched in rain

."Master" said the murkrow, who had been taught to talk along time ago, "Master there are some trespassers who just entered through the west gate" "Deago" said Pheyer to her houndoom. "Go down and bring the trespassers up here, the storm is going to get worse and they need a place to spend the night" when Pheyer had finished the houdoom got up and trotted to the door, it automatically opened and he soon disappeared in a blanket of rain.

Deago ran through the rain to the west side of the property, soon he saw the three huddled masses of humans who were cowering under the limbs of a big willow tree. The houndoom walked over too them the female was the first to notice,

"Ash, Brock, look there is a pokemon over there" said the female The younger male whipped out his pokedex the pokedex the supplied them with information "Houndoom the evolved form of houndour , houndooms are very shady and don't take to people well but when they do they can make extremely loyal pokemon" said the electronic device. "We have come across one before haven't we?" said the taller darker male.

Before anyone could answer the houndoom had grabbed Ash's bag and started running, he ran slow enough so they could still see him in the rain but fast enough so they couldn't catch him. Soon the mansion came in view. The houndoom sat on the porch the tree friends looked over and noticed. Houndoom then went inside the door, which was then left open.

"Should we follow it?" said Brock. "It looks scary, I don't think we should, there could be more pokemon " Misty replied. "He has my bag we have to go follow him, all my stuff is in there." Ash said with a hint of fury.

They walked in to a dimly lit room, in the corner they could see the light reflecting off the horns of houndoom he tilted his head and the door shut behind the visitors. In the center of the room was a huge wooden table with three places set, they each sat down, togepi started crying, pikachu looked at the food in the middle of the table and soon all the guest were shoving food in there mouth. When all the food was done murkrow who had been silently perched in the corner flew over and landed in the middle of the table. He started talking much to the surprise of the three friends.

"Welcome to the Inferno Mansion we thank you for visiting, your rooms for the night have been prepared in the accurance of your arrival if you would follow Deago upstairs he will show you the way, " "but.."

Before ash could finish the murkrow had flown out of the room in to the dark hallway. The houndoom approached them and tilted his head and turned around and walked towards the grand golden staircase the young friends followed. They first came to a room that was all blue; it had a big aquarium on the side and a waterbed.

"Its beautiful " said misty as she let her pokemon out of there pokeballs, they went over to the aquarium and started swimming then misty laid down on the extremely comfortable bed.

The houndoom then showed Brock to his room, it was brown, and had lots of pokemon care products and care manuals, Brock looked around and immediately started reading the books, He too let his pokemon out. After Brock was settled in the houndoom took ash to the last room in the hallway they were in. It was big and had pokemon battle posters everywhere, just like the other two he let out his pokemon, and settled down for the night. After making sure everything was ok. Deago walked out of the room and all three doors shut with two clicks. After hearing the doors lock Deago trotted to his masters room on the third floor. When he entered Pheyer turned and spoke.

"Are they in there rooms?" Deago nodded. Pheyer then pressed the intercom, "Collect their pokemon" "Yes Master" said the voice on the receiving end.

That's it for chapter one, more later.
