The town of Millkeep was a quiet town. Too quiet for me. I, am Kirby the Ditto, and i am the greatest murderer the Pokemon world has ever known. Right now, i am about to go into a bar to see if i can recruit some members. I have always been a solo fighter, but for the crimes i'm about to commit, i may need help. I quickly change into a Vaporeon, and open the doors, making sure they slam against the walls. Everybody stops what they are doing and they all stare at me. A Dustox laughs quietly in the corner. An Xatu and a Shelmet are struggling to pin each other to the ground when they see me. A pair of Furrets glare at me. I snicker, and begin to walk toward the bartender, a Stantler.
"Where's all the tough guys?" I ask, flashing the Stantler a wink. The Stantler slams a hoof down on the counter, laughing. All the other Pokemon start to laugh. They all stop when i begin hurting the Stantler. Grabbing the Stantler's antlers, i yank his head down on the counter, and bite his ear. The Stantler lets out a small wince, but gives me a painful grin.
"Hey Janika, give this young lad a fight to remember." The Stantler calls to a Pokemon dressed in black. The Pokemon whips off its cape, and there stands a Noivern.
"It's just a little Vaporeon, eh? Well, time to show you how WEAK Water Pokemon really are!" The Noivern mocks, darting toward me. I dissolve into water right when Janika uses Air Slash. A couple Pokemon laugh at him, a few applaud for me. I reappear as a Vaporeon, but i'm behind him. With all the power i could muster, i try to tackle Janika, but it fails. That flapping bat brained Pokemon jumped into the air as soon as my paws left the ground. Janika hovers above me now, laughing.
"You're so weak, you think using Tackle on a Noivern would work. Well guess what? I've got large ears for a reason!" Janika taunts, swooping down to pick me up. I roll out of the way in time, and Janika's talons are stuck in the wooden floorboards. I smirk, hearing the applause of the crown watching us fight.
"Think i'm weak now? I'm at least fast on my feet, unlike you." I sneer, charging up my Hydro Pump. Janika lets out a furious screech, and yanks the plank from the floor, and he hovers before me, looking a bit pissed. My cheeks are swollen with the weight of the water i pulled up from my stomach.
"Let's see how well you fly with wet wings." I mumble as best as i can without spilling any water. Unfortunately, i sneeze, and shoot the water at my paws. The crowd roars with laughter, and they begin chanting Janika's name. Janika's look of anger disappears, and he flashes an evil smile down at me.
"Oh yeah, and did your mother ever tell you that bat Pokemon rely on their ears more than their eyes? So you're technically blind." I say swiftly, bracing myself for a direct hit. Janika lets out an earsplitting screech, and swipes his talons at me, but he misses. The crowd laughs at him, and a few nod their approval in my favor. I might be getting a few allies if i win this fight. I trot behind him, and snap at his waving tail. I barely even nipped it, but i at least hurt him. An Electabuzz calls out the score.
"That's strike one and a half for Janika the Noivern! The Vaporeon has a clean sweep, and hasn't gotten hit so far! Place your bets now before the match is over." It calls, standing on a table. I see a few Pokemon shuffle over to the Electabuzz and throw different amounts of Pokecoins on the table, shouting out 'Vaporeon!' and 'Janika!' as they fight over which one of us will win. As i pay attention to the commotion, i don't see Janika's attack coming. As i face Janika, i see his tail coming toward me. Relying on my swift instincts, i sit back on my hind legs, and cross both my front paws in front of my chest. The Noivern's tail collides with my paws, and sends me flying backward into a table. I am a bit dazed from that throw, but nothing too serious. I leap forward, drool dripping from my lips as i flash my small, but menacingly painful fangs.
"Let's fight, Janika." I snarl, feeling my cheeks fill up with water again. I'm going to try double Hydro Pump this time. As Janika opens his mouth to say some stinging retort, i fire my Hydro Pump at him. The first one soaks his left wing, so he tilts severely to the right, flapping wildly with his right wing to stay upright. That idiot's mouth is STILL wide open. I fire the second mouthful of water into Janika's open mouth, making him cough and gag. The crowd goes nuts as Janika bows, the sign that says, 'I forfeit." I'm lifted into the air, and the air echoes with 'Vaporeon! Vaporeon!' Once the crowd puts me down, i am shoved over to the table where the Electabuzz stands. He pats the table, motioning for me to stand next to him. Before i can wave at the crowd, the Electabuzz lifts me into the air, dancing around with me.
"The new champion is..." It hesitates. Oh that's right, i never told anybody my name. I can't tell them my name is Kirby, i'd be turned in right then and there. So i come up with a name. The name of a past victim.
"My name, is Ingomar the Vaporeon." I say, puffing out my chest.
"THE NEW CHAMPION, IS INGOMAR THE VAPOREON!" The Electabuzz's voice booms, making the crowd go insane. I feel like i'm in a dream when i'm handed the prize money. I recieved 280 Pokedollars, just for some skimpy fight. After the cheering has died down, i saunter happily back over to the Stantler, whose jaw quivers as i approach.
"W-who would like to go with this young, strong lad?" He shouts, whirling around and filling up a glass of water. I assume that's for me, but i have no time to ponder that small matter, because the two Furrets i saw earlier are the first to come up to me.
"We'd like to go with you. A lad like you, deserves to have a group to call his own." One Furret says. I nod, smiling.
"What might your names be?" I ask. The Furrets look at each other, then back at me.
"I am Ophir, and this is my twin sister Dylis." One of them say. I raise an eyebrow, but laugh my confusion off. I've got a plan that will make it easier to tell them apart. They won't like it, but if i'm going to be their leader, they'll just have to live with it. That is, until i kill them. As they stand beside me, the next Pokemon to become my ally, is none other than Janika himself.
"Hey, nobody's ever beaten me in a fight for a long time. You've earned our partnership." He says with a toothy grin. I give him a fake smile, because he's going to be the first one i'm going to kill. I'll stage a tragic accident, BOY how fun that'll be! The next Pokemon to join my group come up in a trio. Faustinus the Scolipede. Gabrielle the Braviary and Corrina the Vulpix. Many others join my group. Moishe the Raticate, Magda the Heliolisk, Demeter the Servine, Nur the Wartortle, and Anastasiya the Gliscor.
"I will accept one more, and this time, it has to be a Pokemon that walks on all fours, or one that can fly." I call. The crowd parts at the sound of a harsh growl, and reveals an Espeon. It calmly walks toward me, and stops as i hold a paw up.
"My name, is Jaylen." The Espeon whispers. What's this? I'm actually falling in love! Ugh, i must stick to my job- but she's so... hot... those eyes- UGH, THIS WON'T WORK, I'M A MURDERER! I contain a sigh, and give her a real smile, one full of love and lust. She can see that i love her, because she strokes my chin with her tail as she walks over to stand beside Janika. I turn around, and walk out of the bar, my new group following me. I have everyone stand in a front line, and i walk back and forth in front of them. Now i'll tell them who i really am. If they don't want to work with me, they can die.
"Alright, i assume you've all heard of the murderous Ditto, Kirby, yea?" I question, stopping at the Furret twins. They nod, letting out a gulp. I grin devilishly, and change into my Ditto form, making everyone gasp.
"Now listen, you all work for me now. If you object, you are free to go." One of the Furrets turns tail and runs as fast as it can. I think it's Dylis running, although i can't be sure. I swiftly change into an Ekans, and slither after the Furret. I'm lucky, because the Furret trips over its own paws, and falls to the ground. I take the opportunity to sink my fangs into the Furret's neck, and rip out its vocal cords. The Furret's open wound shoots blood everywhere, so i stick my mouth over the wound and drink up the blood. After i ate the vocal cords, that is. Once it bled to death, i change into my Vaporeon form and run back to the group, whose eyes are wide open. The other Furret looks like its about to faint.
"Ophir..." It says with a feminine voice. Rats, i didn't kill the sister! Oh well, i can dispose of her later. I hope this teaches them a lesson. Try to run from a famous killer, you'll end up dead if you even try. Now, i know i've gotta change their names so nobody recognizes them.
"Now that that's out of the way-" I don't get to finish, because i'm interrupted by Dylis.
"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!" She screeches, leaping for me. She jumps too short, so i take that as an advantage and jump on her back, biting both her ears. Dylis screeches in agony, and tries to swat me off with her fluffy tail. She misses again, but keeps swatting at me. I try to swat her tail with my own, but i miss as well. Janika swats Dylis off with her talons, pinning her to the ground. Huh, maybe i should let Janika live after all. We'll see how useful he is when i commit a mass murder.
"Get over it." Janika hisses, tightening his grip. As Dylis struggles to get free, i bite down on her neck, causing blood to flow.
"You wouldn't want to die like your brother, would you?" I whisper harshly. Dylis stops squirming and holds still, staunching the blood flow with a paw.
"Release her. But i need 2 of you to flank her to make sure she doesn't try anything." I order, stalking off. Dylis is lifted up and flanked heavily by Janika and Magda. We continue walking in silence for about a minute, until the sut sets. I order everyone to get a nest ready and go to sleep. Tomorrow, we're going to see who can stay, and who will die. Dylis is bound tightly with vines so she can't run away in the night, and just to make sure she can't bite through them, Anastaysia will guard her overnight. We all fall asleep peacefully, the occasional sound of Dylis whimpering as Anastaysia gives her a nip for trying to escape. I slip into a world of blood and gore, thinking of who my next victim will be, and whether this team is right for me.
