Man 'O War
A pokemon fanfic by Shard Fields/Andromon X
Beneath the waves the kraken lies
In wait for passing ships,
To gobble them as you or I
Might munch potato chips.
-anonymous
Tentacruel waited, beneath the waves, impatient. It had promised the small one an end to the carnage, but it again hungered. Hungered for the hunts, for blood, for the taste of flesh.
Almost all had this hunger, Tentacruel knew. Some just suppressed it better than others. But how it envied those blessed with restraint...
As soon as it realized that this chain of thought was helping to hold it back, the thoughts disappeared. In their place was only rage. Rage that surged through Tentacruel's venomous form, engulfed it in a powerful grasp, and slung it, like a rock thrown at a window, towards the surface.
The mere sight of the giant pokemon moved the crowd aboard the boat to panic, and even some to violence, which brought relief to Tentacruel... It had warned the small one, had it not? It had warned that any acts of violence would be met with similar means. There was no promise broken today, not by Tentacruel, who felt no remorse, even as it swept the lifeboats into its gaping maw, even as he ate the passengers like popcorn, even as he consumed, with a loud crunch, the boat itself. Tentacruel then returned to its watery home, feeling satisfied... And yet, somewhere deep inside, disappointed.
The end?
