Beat 1: Animals
My heart races to her image, my blood pumps to her voice, she's a fragile diamond that I want to steal away, my mind spins out of control whenever I see her, I can't control myself, I want her for myself, she can only be mine and no one else's, whatever it takes, she'll fall under my trap and I'll eat her alive like the blood thirsty animal I am.
"Paul….." I closed my eyes, shaking my head and my thoughts awake, I turned to Drew who was staring at me blankly, taking a sip out of his drink as he remained silent.
"What do you want?" I hissed in response, I wasn't surprised by his unfazed expression, we've known each other long enough for him to withstand my naturally rude personality.
"I was saying if you'd like to hang out this weekend, Ash, Gary, and I were going to head out to the newest club opening happening this weekend, and since we're practically kings in the pokemon world, they've given us V.I.P reservations".
I'm not much of a party person, Ash was definitely going to bring his crazy girlfriend, what's her face? Mystique? Misty? Whatever, then there was Gary, who would probably pick up every chick in the club and bring them back to his bachelor pad, did I really want to deal with those two?
"Ash is bringing Misty since she was able to get one of her sisters to substitute for her in one of her shows, Gary found a nice date, she's an Elite four member from Johto, and May canceled one of her autograph sessions to be able to come with me".
"Is she going as well?" I stared coldly at Drew, waiting for his response, he knew exactly who I was talking about, and what I hated most was that I knew he was going to enjoy every second of this moment.
"You mean Dawn?" Chills and sparks ran throughout my body, and they felt amazing, I hate her for this, just her name alone gets me riled up, but she'll never learn of this.
"What if it is her?" I leaned back in my chair, shoving my hands in my pockets and keeping a straight face.
"You've been all over this girl for years already, since the moment you saw her until now, you're the Champion of Sinnoh, you can have any girl you want at the palm of your hand, but you go for the most untouchable girl on the planet? Are you insane?"
"Maybe I am, my cravings are dangerous, and once they start, they won't stop until I get what I want". A tiny smirk crossed his lips, he ran a hand through his hand, chuckling as he leaned back.
"You're one crazy bastard, you know that?" I chuckled, of course I knew that, that's what makes me better than everyone else.
"I wouldn't be a Champion if I wasn't". he remained with his sly grin, grabbing the magazine from the rack behind him and slapping it onto the table.
"This girl, this girl is the one you're trying to get". he pointed to the front cover which held her image, shit she looked amazing, I could tear her to pieces right now if she were in front of me.
"That's right". I continued staring at her picture, those sensual long legs that only made her little black dress shorter, those tempting pink lips, that figure, her smooth silky porcelain skin, and those long daring blue locks of hers, her eyes charmed me everytime, as if I was staring right into the ocean.
"She's the Queen of the Contest world and dominates the modeling industry, her relationships only last a month because she loses interest in her boyfriends so quickly, how do you expect to handle someone like her"? I nearly laughed at his idiotic question, he only gave me a confused look, not understanding what I found so funny.
"Easy, she's never met someone like me".
~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~
I stopped in front of the building, stepping out of my car and looking up towards the large screen on the building, it was all about her, images flashed continuously and they were all about her, her contests, her runway shows, her commercial ads, she was the newest face to the hottest female lingerie company, arceus how she drives me crazy.
"She's so beautiful!"
"Wow! It's Dawn Berlitz!"
"No kidding when they said she's the hottest woman alive right now!"
There comments angered me more and more, knowing every man looks at her like a piece of meat, it pissess me off, I want to be the only to look at her like the animal I am, I want the world to know that she belongs to me, if she's the untouchable beauty of this world then I want to be the man who tames her and locks her away.
I couldn't bare it any longer and got back in my car, driving back home, I told Drew I would go to the opening, but now I'm not sure, to be surrounded by so many idiots and drunks, I'd go crazy with rage, but if it means wasting myself to the night and forgetting these unbearable urges I have, then I'll just ignore everyone and lose myself.
I parked up to the gates, passing through as they opened and then closed, I stepped out and walked up the steps and towards the door, opening them up and entering inside. "Paul? Is that you?" I hung my coat up on the rack, hearing the echoes of Reggie's voice continue throughout the halls.
"Who else would live here besides me?" I retorted, he peeked his head out from the left living room, his regular annoying smile plastered on him.
"Which always brings me to the Question, Why did you end up buying this mansion when it was only going to be you living here?" he walked out, both arms crossed, if it wasn't for the fact that he was wearing a scarf on his head and an apron, I probably would have taken him a bit more seriously.
I shrugged in response to his question, "It's how a champion should live, besides, the place came with it's own training arena for my pokemon, that reminds me, how are they doing?"
"I've groomed them all and fed them as well, they're all in the backyard".
"Thanks Reggie…..you didn't try breeding them again…...did you?" I gave him a stern look, he seemed a bit hesitant but waved my question off, still, I shouldn't be so lenient, last time I left him with my pokemon he tried to breed my Froslass and Weavile together, the idiot.
"No no, although I swear I felt a bit of chemistry between those two last time, maybe I shouldn't have forced it". he wandered off into his own world, I wasn't going to stick around and hear what else he had to say.
I continued up the stairs despite hearing Reggie's voice, "Hey Paul, Where are you off to?"
"I'm going to shower then train my pokemon, don't call me for anything". I slammed the door shut, stripping myself from my clothes and going into the bathroom.
The water dripping around my body had relieved most of my stress and urges, but thinking about her more and more only increased my cravings, her tempting image wouldn't fade from my mind, I tried closing my eyes hard enough to get rid of it but still nothing, I could only keep them closed, placing my head against the shower wall and letting the water fall over me completely, I placed my arm against the wall over my head as well, breathing heavily as I tried to contain myself.
"Why do you do this to me…."
~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~
"Hey Paul!" I tried to ignore Reggie, not wanting to deal with someone as cheery as him right now, I rubbed the towel against my hair, growing chills as the cool air hit my bare body, tiny droplets of water were falling from my hair onto my chest, goosebumps grew all over me.
"You'll never guess what just happened!" I still tried to ignore him, making my way to the kitchen where I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and drank from it, trying to block him out.
"Dawn came by earlier". my eyes shot open, I spat out my drink, coughing as he held his stupid smile.
"W-what do you mean she came by?" I wiped my mouth with the towel hanging around my shoulders.
He nodded, "Yeah, she came while you were showering". What did she come for? Damn, I can't believe she was actually here.
"Did she come here for me?" I rose my eyebrow, seeming a bit curious now, "Nope, she came looking for me, she tried looking for me at my house but Maylene told her I was here".
I felt a bit angry now, what business did my idiot brother have with her? It couldn't be anything sneaky, I mean, he's already married to Maylene and expecting his first kid.
"What did she want?" I asked back, glaring at him, however he was oblivious to my sharp stare, just like always.
"She wanted me to look after her pokemon, she said she had some event this weekend and needed someone to look after her pokemon, I accepted but then remembered that the breeding ranch back home is full, hope you don't mind but I told her I'd leave them here with you, she seemed a bit hesitant but after convincing her she agreed".
I felt a bit satisfied but I was also angry, how the hell am I supposed to look after her pokemon, they're Contest champions, they live off their appearance, If I screw up anything with them then I'm in a depth of shit. "You idiot, how am I supposed to look after her pokemon, there contest champions, she'll kill us both if we screw anything up". he rolled his eyes.
"I'll be doing most of the caring, feeding, and grooming, all you have to do is make sure your killing machines of a pokemon don't harm them when I'm not around, got it?" I guess when he put it like that, maybe it won't be such a cringing job.
"Here, let's go let them out for some fresh air". he handed me a small case containing her pokeballs, I felt a bit nervous just staring at them, they were encrusted with diamonds on the bottom, rubies on top, and single pearl in the middle, shit this girl is definitely about appearance.
We moved on to the backyard, my pokemon went about their business, we both grabbed three pokeballs each and threw them up, releasing all of her pokemon out at once.
"Empoleon!"
"Lopunny!"
"Togekiss!"
"Typhlosion!"
"Pachirisu!"
"Mamoswine!"
They stayed quiet, looking at one another then at me and Reggie, the little squirrel thing seemed about ready to cry, sparks were building up in it's cheeks.
"Hey guys! You're trainer left me in charge of you for the moment while she's off to an event, I don't know if you remember me or Paul but we've all met before". of course just like any other time, Reggie has the ability to make any pokemon warm up to him in a matter of seconds, guess that's why he's named Sinnoh's best breeder.
I felt a tug on my sweat pants and looked down, it was that same little rodent, it tilted it's head up towards me, we had a short stare off, apparently my glare didn't work on it because it crawled up my sweats.
"Get off! Dammit! Get out of there!" I could feel it running up my leg, damn that things nails are sharp, I turned back and forth, shaking my leg around, I could hear Reggie laughing, oh he was definitely going to get it later.
"Pachi- Pachi!" I pulled my sweat open, looking down and growling as it jumped out, landing on top of my head, I'm done, I'm not going to bother, I have to control myself, If it weren't for it's trainer I would have told Ursaring to hammer arm the crap out of it.
"Looks like Pachirisu likes you Paul!" I growled even more, "I'd prefer if it didn't".
"Hm, you guys are in incredible shape, guess I shouldn't expect anything less than perfect from the Contest queen herself, huh"? he chuckled, holding up Empoleon's fins and inspecting them, he quickly moved over to Lopunny who shyly looked away, becoming more and more embarrassed as he inspected her fur.
"Can you stop harassing her pokemon, here, take this thing". I grabbed it off my head, holding it up at eye level and staring at it once more.
"Pachi?" It seemed confused, tilting it's head once more as It looked at me, "They say a pokemon represents an aspect about it's trainer, guess you must represent the cuteness within her".
"What was that?" I shook my head, handing Pikachu's sister back to Reggie and walking away.
~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~Third Person POV~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~
"Wooo! Let's party!" The limo had stopped, the doors were held open as Drew and May stepped out first, then came Misty and Ash, following after were Leaf and Gary and lastly came Paul.
He cringed to the squealing and screaming coming from the fans who were being held back by bodyguards, they reached out for the group, hoping to graze by any of them or even get a single touch.
"Of course, all the commotion is for me". Gary winked towards the crowd, laughing sheepishly and hugging Leaf who slapped him on the shoulder angrily.
The doors to the club were held open by the bouncers, allowing them to enter the dark hall, a single door was at the end, Drew pushed it open, revealing the two story club.
"Woah!" Ash's mouth dropped open, Misty jumped and was immediately sucked in by the music, dragging the Kanto Champion along with her.
"My lady". Drew held his arm out, May giggled and walked ahead, still holding hands with him as they joined Misty and Ash on the dance floor.
"Me and Leaf are going to get some drinks, Want one?" he could barely hear the brunette but nodded when he heard drinks, he watched both of them head off to the bar, making his way to the opposite side where he sat at the private mini lounge reserved for him and the others.
He took a seat, grabbing the drink that Gary held out towards him, toasting with both the brunette and Leaf as they joined him, "Let the night begin".
"Chug Chug Chug!" He drank the glass without stopping, finishing the last of it and placing it back down on the table, smirking as he wrapped both arms around the blondes sitting beside him.
"You're like an animal tonight! What's with you?!" Gary laughed, taking the shot that the waitress handed him, he threw his hands in the air, howling and dropping back down, he grabbed Leaf and kissed her, sparking her to kiss him back.
"Let's just say, I have a lot I need to get rid of". He snatched the shot from Ash's hand and swallowed it whole, causing everyone else to cheer.
"Maybe you should relax with the shots". Drew held a somewhat stern look, he drank from his scotch, watching Paul who got up and began walking away.
He took the drink from Drew's hand and chugged it as well, "I'm only getting started".
"Lord he's gone batshit wild". He sighed, May patted his back as he hunched over, scratching his head in angst.
"Move!" he walked into the restroom, stumbling against the sink and staring into the mirror, he sighed, dropping his head down and turning the sink on.
"Get a hold of yourself Paul". he washed water over his face, allowing the coldness from it to wake him up, "I need to get out of here". he struggled to stand still, existing out of the restroom and joining the large crowd on the dance floor.
"Move, Move, Move!" he shoved his way through the crowd, growing more and more irritated by the loud music and unbearable tight spacing.
"Finally". he sighed, taking in a deep breath soon after escaping the crowd, his eyes wandered off for a quick moment but suddenly stopped when they spotted a lock of blue hair flutter by.
"That color, the length…..No…." he followed the direction it went, pushing the guests aside as he followed through.
Her figure looked just alike, her long blue hair was curled and swaying side to side with every strutting step she took in her black heels. The tiny pink dress she wore was tempting to the eye, catching nearly every males attention in the club.
He stopped when she did, she was standing in front of the bar, turning sideways and ordering from the bartender who was quickly infatuated with her, "It's her…." her skin glowed under the lights and her smile lit up everything around her. A thump occurred in his chest, he clutched it, suddenly feeling his heart beating rapidly, the blood in his veins began rushing like crazy all throughout his body.
"You're mine". he took in a final breath, clenching and loosening his fists as he began making his way over to her.
"Dawn!" he stopped, finding a blonde haired male had already beat him to it.
She had an irked expression upon seeing him, her eyes sharpened on him and her voice became more offensive, "What do you want Barry? I have nothing to say to you".
"Well I do, I'm not going to be played like all your other boy toys, you're coming with me". he snatched her wrist, tightening his grip as he tried to force her to follow, she pulled back, refusing to go with him, heads began turning towards them as she continued struggling away from him.
He could hear the whispers behind him, "Should we do something?"
"No, it's just a lovers quarrel, besides, that's the tower tycoon, wouldn't want to get on his bad side".
"I broke up with you because I couldn't find a connection with you, I'm in love with somebody else". she slapped him directly, everyone around had gasped, he seemed just as shock from her hit, quickly releasing her.
"I'm not going to continue being with you because I don't want to hurt you". her voice grew more shaky, she tried to ignore the many stares the crowd was giving her.
"No, No, I won't accept this, we just need to talk this out". his soft expression quickly turned aggressive, he grabbed her by the arm, yanking her away, Paul's rage grew to it's peak as he saw the flinching expression on her face.
"B-barry...you're hurting me". she flinched again, his grip on her fragile arms had begun leaving a mark.
She looked away, closing her eyes to hold back the tears that were growing, the grip on her arm suddenly faded, she slowly turned back, peeking one eye open to find Paul standing in between them.
"P-paul?" she muttered, growing more and more stunned from his sudden action.
"What do you want?" sneered Barry, pushing the purple haired champion away, the crowd exploded into a wave of whispers again.
"If she doesn't want to go then don't force her, touch her again and I'll break your arm". he challenged Paul's icy skin crawling stare, but the longer he stared into his dark voidless eyes the more his stomach turned.
"Hmph, Word of advice, If you're going to try your luck with her, don't even bother, she'll throw you away like last season's shoes, she's the worst of the worst". his eyes shifted over to Dawn who had her head down, her blue locks hid her face away.
He watched, making sure Barry exited out of the club and then turned to the bluenette who began hugging herself, his head snapped over to the large crowd surrounding them, they had quickly dispersed on command of his cruel glare.
"T-thank you…...It's best If I head home now, I've caused too much trouble for everyone". she refused to look up at him, walking off without so much as a glance, he felt irritated and bit hurt, confused as to why she couldn't just stare at him, even for a minute.
"I've seen uglier situations…". he followed close behind, grabbing her wrist lightly and stopping her in her tracks, she remained facing forward, he could feel her hand trembling and quickly released it.
"...Do you…...want to go back to my place…...you know, to visit your pokemon? I'm sure they miss you already". he let out a tiny breath of relievement, hearing a tiny giggle as she nodded, he walked ahead, leading her out of the club and into the limo waiting outside.
~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~O~0~
"You live here all by yourself?" she stared out the window, gazing in amazement at the size of his home, he nodded, caring less about his home and more on her, she was seated across from him and his eyes could only find themselves focusing on her silky long legs.
"Yeah, I only bought it because of the large training areas it had, the pools are great for my water pokemon and the backyard is perfect to train and let my other pokemon roam around".
"I'm sure my pokemon must be having a good time here, I can't let them roam around much since I live in a penthouse up in the big city, it's spacious but it doesn't have the space I need for my pokemon to live happily". he noticed the frown growing on her face.
"Why not move?" he quirked an eyebrow, seeming a bit curious as to her decision.
"I don't know, I guess I'm just afraid for change, I feel a home is meant for two people who are ready to begin their lives together, I haven't…...haven't found the right person for me to settle down with".
"What happens when you do? Will you be ready for change?" her eye widened a bit to his questions, she found his eyes focusing entirely on her, making the bluenette once again look away, avoiding his stare.
"I-I suppose I will….but…". she sighed, raising even more questions within Paul who waited for the rest of her answer.
"...But?" she shook her head, stepping out of the limo only to face the entrance of his home.
He decided not to push the question further and allowed her inside, giving her a tour of the entire place, each time wowed her more than the last, "Here we are". they made it into the backyard where all of their pokemon came stampeding towards the two of them.
"Pachi pachi!" Pachirisu rubbed it's cheek against her leg, then it rushed up to Paul, crawling up his leg and body only to settle on his shoulder, he growled to himself, controlling the irritating feeling he was growing.
"Wow, I've never seen Pachirisu like somebody so much, I'm impressed Paul, It's really cute". he growled even more when she giggled at Pachirisu who was rubbing cheeks with the Champion.
*I have to control myself, I have to make sure I don't grab this little furball and toss it into the forest, dammit it's cheeks hurt like hell, why do I even bother with this girl? Sure she's hot and has the most incredible body I've ever seen, but is it worth to try to lure her in when she's only trying to find her own love, I can't relate because I'm not that type, it's all about lust and I'm fine with that, but seeing her wish for her own happiness…...am I going to try to be like the rest and use her? Sure I'm an animal, and If I could I would take her this very moment, but everytime I see her smile, it makes me think about how she won't have it once I'm done with her, she'll be just another fling added to my collection, I…...I just can't do it….shit, how I hate myself*
"Paul….." He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and turned towards her direction, she seemed a bit curious as to his spacing off actions.
"What".
"I was saying that I think my Lopunny and your Weavile have become really good friends". she pointed up ahead, directing his eyes onto both pokemon who were all the way in the back, a tiny ice field was created where both Weavile and Lopunny held hands and skidded around, using a double Ice beam to make the ice field grow more.
"Great". he mumbled, growing a bit envious that his Weavile might be getting lucky tonight rather than him.
"You know….." she grabbed the electric type off his shoulder and placed it down, walking further away from Paul who followed behind her, they stopped by the waterfall built beside the pool.
"...They say a pokemon reflects it's trainers emotions….". she gazed up at the waterfall, admiring it's showering beauty, he gazed up at her instead, admiring the glowing beauty she was reflecting.
"What are you saying"?
"Lopunny and Weavile…..it seems like they're in love…..does that mean that you and I…" she stopped, not saying anything as she saw the indifferent expression on Paul's face.
It was his turn to look up at the waterfall, "I'm not the type to love….I've only ever been the type to fool around and stay free…..but I guess…...I'm willing to give this Love thing a shot...that is…..if you want to".
"What….what if I already Love you?" her cheeks turned bright red, his eyes stretched open, now holding a stunned expression as she fiddled with her hands.
"Since the first time I met you, you're cold hearted nature lured me in, after your battle with Ash that day, you said to me, when two people meet, something new is born, ever since then, I've never forgotten your words…..I've tried to get rid of this undying feeling within my heart by dating, but none of those men could ever satisfy what I needed…...you".
He gained back his cool calm expression, chuckling to her words, a frown formed on her lips, "It's funny, now that I think about it because….I need you too, that undying feeling within your heart appears in mines too, all I could ever think about is you, but the thought of only being with you once and then moving on felt like a stab to me…..something I've never felt before….."
Her eyes began watering up, she placed her hands over her mouth, "...you're not like the rest….you're my only exception…...I want something more…..I might not know anything about love...but I guess I'll learn about it…..being with you". he held his hand out towards her, waiting for her response.
"Paul…." she took his hand, letting him pull her into a kiss.
They parted only slightly, keeping their faces only inches away from one another that there foreheads still touched, "There's just one thing….." he muttered, she closed her eyes, sighing to the soothing deep tone of his voice, "What's that?" she whispered.
"I'm a complete animal, once I'm done with you, you'll be cuffed to my chains forever".
She cupped both of his cheeks, kissing him lightly on the lips before whispering in his ear with a sensual voice, "I don't mind….. besides, I'm an animal lover".
