The Stuff Of Nightmares.
Chapter One. A Gengar In The Forest.
The Shiny Gengar stirred, as he felt the wind on his body. The grass was comfortable, but the wind was slightly cold and
"Not the wind." He muttered, as he stood up and rubbed his eyes.
Nightmare looked down, and saw something looking at him.
"Not you again." The Gas Pokemon muttered.
"What?" Shaymin asked. "I saw you sleeping in the forest and I was worried about you."
Nightmare glared at the Gratitude Pokemon.
"Where the hell was I supposed to sleep?" He asked. "In a tree?"
"No, I mean, you looked so peaceful and...."
Nightmare lay back down.
"Are you done yet?" He asked. "I'm trying to sleep."
"Oh come on!!!!!" Shaymin said, brightly. "It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the Pidgey are singing, the Combee are buzzing and....."
"I'm going to Poison Jab you if you don't leave me alone." Nightmare snapped.
Shaymin groaned.
"Someone's a grumpy Gengar." He said. "I'm a Shaymin by the way."
"No way. I'd never have guessed." Nightmare replied. "Now, leave me alone."
"My name is Leaf." Shaymin continued. "What's your name?"
Nightmare snored, trying to shut Leaf out.
"You can't sleep all day." Leaf sang. "That's just not the way, don't be such a....."
"Shut up!!!!" Nightmare bellowed, angrily. "I want to sleep."
He then opened his eyes.
"Hold on." Nightmare said. "Where am I? Where's my trainer?"
Leaf looked slightly confused.
"Humans have been extinct for thousands of years." He explained. "Only Pokemon remain."
Nightmare looked at Leaf.
"You mean... My trainer. My friends. His friends. I'm never going to see any of them ever again?"
Leaf shook his head.
Nightmare jumped up and down.
"Oh yes!!!!!" He shouted. "I'm never going to see any of those morons again!!!!! I'm free!!!!! Yahooo!!!!! In your face world!!!!!!"
Leaf looked at him.
"Are you okay?" He asked. "You seem optimistic."
"Really, you think?" Nightmare said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The two of them looked up, and saw a Butterfree flapping over to them.
"Great." Nightmare said. "Lunch."
"Please!!!" Butterfree exclaimed. "You have to...."
Nightmare jumped up, and grabbed the Butterfree in one hand. With the other, he stuffed her in his mouth and swallowed her whole.
"Tasty." He said, licking his lips.
Leaf looked at him, slightly bemused.
"She sounded like she needed help." The Shaymin remarked.
Nightmare snorted.
"So did I." He said. "Do you know how long it is since I last ate?"
"Well, there's plenty of big juicy berries on the trees." Leaf commented. "Big juicy orbs that you can get your mouth around. They just explode with juice when you bit down on them, giving you a burst of intense pleasure."
Nightmare glared at him.
"What the hell are you advertising? Berries or...."
Another Butterfree flapped through the trees.
"Berry!!!!!!!" He shouted. "Berry!!!!!"
"Ahoy there!!!" Leaf called up. "What's wrong?"
"Screw you, Shaymin." The Butterfree called.
"Hey, that's my job!!!!" Nightmare bellowed. "I'm the only one who can say that to this Shaymin."
"Bite me, Gengar." Butterfree shouted.
"Hey, it's Nightmare, you winged Caterpie." Nightmare said. "Now, shut the hell up, I'm trying to sleep."
The Butterfree sighed.
"I'm so sorry." He said. "My beloved Berry has gone missing. And my beloved son, Chet the Caterpie has been kidnapped by Weavile."
Leaf looked at the Butterfree.
"Was Berry a Butterfree?" He asked.
Butterfree nodded.
"She was looking for help."
Leaf glared at Nightmare, who started to whistle.
"Look." Leaf said. "We'll go tell those bad old Weavile to give back your Caterpie."
"Oh thank you." Butterfree replied. "I'd go myself, but..."
"Yeah, good luck with that." Nightmare said, rolling onto his stomach. Butterfree flew away.
"Hey!!!!" Leaf exclaimed. "You're coming too."
"Yeah, tell me why that is." Nightmare asked.
"Because you ate his mate." Leaf replied. "And we have a duty to get back his son."
"Why?"
"Because you ate his mate!!!!"
"Explain to me why that means that we have to go and rescue his son?"
"Because he'll be alone otherwise." Leaf insisted.
"And getting his son back will alleviate that how?" Nightmare asked.
Leaf sighed.
"It just will, okay."
"That sounds pointless." Nightmare said. "So, we're going to go and march up to some Weavile and tell them to give Caterpie back?"
Leaf nodded.
"Yeah, I don't really care." Nightmare remarked, rolling onto his back.
"Please!!!!!"
"No."
"Please!!!!!!!!!"
"No."
"Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"No."
"Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yes."
"Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Leaf said. "Oh wait."
"So, this is the forest of Weavile?" Nightmare asked. "Interesting. That must be why I can smell Weavile shit."
"Yeah." Leaf remarked.
"Help!!!!" A shrill voice squeaked. "Help!!!!!"
Nightmare and Leaf looked at each other.
"Did you hear that?" Leaf asked.
Nightmare shook his head.
"Nah, I couldn't hear anything over that moron shouting for help." He said, as a Weavile jumped out of a tree.
"Halt!!!!" The Weavile snapped. "You would dare intrude upon our..."
Nightmare Poison Jabbed him and shoved him aside.
"See, you just have to be firm with these upstarts." Nightmare explained, as Lead followed him.
Seven Weavile jumped down from the trees, upon hearing their comrade's cries.
"Oh crap." Nightmare said.
"See, you just have to be firm with these upstarts." Leaf repeated. "That's what you called them right. Arrogant Weavile upstarts. They sit around scratching their asses all day. That's what you said right? That's why they have claws, it's for the best scratch available, they can reach right up into the..."
Leaf looked up and saw Nightmare being chased away by the Sharp Claw Pokemon.
"Yeah, I am awesome." Leaf said to himself, as he continued.
"Yes, soon I will kill you, you little Caterpie." The Weavile leader hissed.
"Not so fast!!!!" Leaf exclaimed, wandering into the area.
The Weavile spun around.
"You really don't want to be here." He hissed.
Leaf smiled.
"Yeah, I want to free that Caterpie." Leaf replied. "Now, let him go."
"Or what...?"
"Ah." Leaf said, hesitating. "Or, I'll... hurt you."
The Weavile glared at him.
"Go on then." The Weavile said. "Do your worst."
Leaf closed his eyes, and charged up an Energy Ball.
"Ooh, I'm scared." Weavile scoffed.
Seconds later, Nightmare came charging through the undergrowth and smashed into the Weavile. The Sharp Claw Pokemon instantly collapsed, before being crushed by the seven other Weavile that were chasing after the Gengar.
"Yeah." Leaf exclaimed. "I told you!!!"
The Weavile that were chasing Nightmare looked around.
"Our leader!!!" One of them said.
"He's been run over by something."
"Let us go and find out what."
"Yeah, then we can get the claws on it!!!!"
"The Claws!!!!!!" All of them cheered, charging off into the forest.
Leaf looked at Chet the Caterpie.
"Are you okay?" Leaf asked, concerned.
Chet stood up.
"Yeah, I think so." He replied. "Thank you strange Shaymin. I am sure that my Dad will be able to reward you beyond your wildest dreams."
Seconds later, Nightmare came crashing out of the forest and stamped on Chet, accidentally, instantly crushing him.
"Right, where are they?" Nightmare asked, slightly out of breath.
Leaf looked at him, before shaking his head.
"Wow, you really want to make that Butterfree's life miserable, don't you." He remarked.
Nightmare looked up, as he finished absent mindedly scraping the remains of Chet from his foot.
"I'm sorry, what?" He asked. "I was scraping something off my foot."
Leaf sighed.
"Let's just get out of here before we get lynched."
Author's Notes.
Yeah. Nightmare's very own story. And even in the future, he can't get rid of a too friendly Shaymin.
Reviews would be welcome.
Although, why the Weavile were kidnapping Caterpie is open to debate.
And it is slightly like Mystery Dungeon. But not quite. It's not a human turned into a Pokemon. But, it is likely to be an amusing romp across this mysterious land. And why is Nightmare in the future?
Don't forget to review!!!!! Please!!!!
