Happy Halloween, everyone!
No Survivors
The boy in the blue jacket ran.
He had only himself. His Pokemon team were all dead, murdered by those of the maniac.
The maniac that was stalking him now. He ran, hid between the pillars, barely let himself gasp for breath lest he hear.
He turned a corner and saw the maniac in front of him, the teeth of his crazed smile glinting in the darkness.
He barely had time to scream as a chainsaw rent his limbs from his body, then his head, his dismembered parts and his blood spilling to the floor.
The murderer let his chainsaw fall silent, the blood dripping across his white shirt and green hair. He smirked.
"Some Hero Of Ideals you are."
And stalked off.
The assembled Gym leaders further outward into the castle heard the screams.
"What in the name of Jiminy was-" Clay started to say.
He was cut off by Skyla being dragged into the shadows screaming, the screams being muffled then growing louder as blood soaked the floor from within the shadows, followed by a flying leg.
The other Gym leaders all backed away as they reeled in shock and vomited, but then heard a growl from behind them.
They turned to see a snarling Reshiram, who immediately incinerated Drayden alive as he screamed. The rest turned to flee the white dragon, only to see N approaching, bloody chainsaw buzzing, as he grinned.
"It's her or me, you all."
The Gym leaders huddled together as the two approached them from each side, N chuckling all the while.
In a dim room, Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, and Ghetsis were tied to a series of chairs, N circling around them with his chainsaw, smugly smirking.
"Well well well! If it isn't all those dreaded crime lords of various regions who find themselves superior to me. How amusing."
He stepped up to a quaking Giovanni.
"You... You're just an annoyance. Let's deal with you quickly."
Before Giovanni could scream N's whirring chainsaw came down upon him, splitting him clean in two as the others squirmed and yelped. N approached Maxie and Archie next.
"Oh! I've heard tell you two are lovers!"
He quickly chainsaw-sliced both their chests open. Their agonized yells were shortly cut off by N ripping both their still-beating hearts out with his bare hands and shoving them in the other's chest, grinning.
"How adorable!"
He approached Cyrus next, who cowered and whimpered. N scoffed.
"And you tried to remake the universe? Cute."
He shoved the chainsaw into Cyrus' gut and twisted, Cyrus screaming as N ripped out his organs to splat in a dismembered mess nearby before he fell limp. N grinned again.
"I made a galaxy out of your entrails! Pretty neat, huh?"
At last, he rounded on a gibbering, terrified Ghetsis, grinning even more maniacaly than before.
"Ah, daddy dearest! I have a special fate in mind for you..."
"No... No please..."
N lifted the whirring chainsaw above his head and cackled. Ghetsis screamed as-
"Tom, that is officially enough!"
Tom turned to his companion Roger with a confused expression as the campfire before them flickered amidst the looming trees and dim moonlight.
"But... But I was getting to the good part!"
Roger scoffed. "Yeah, of a chainsaw murderer story about a guy sitting right next to us!"
Indeed, N sat to the other side of Roger, pointedly avoiding Tom's gaze and shifting around uncomfortably. Roger turned back to Tom with a glare. "Why are your weird stories always about N anyway?"
Tom paused, blinked, then turned to N.
"...You're inspiring."
N grimaced. "Perhaps you should find me inspiring in some other manner?"
A burst of orange flames headed in Tom's direction as he yelped, only for them to stoke the campfire as he looked up at the white-feathered draconic source.
~Okay,~ said Reshiram, ~This is clearly a sign it's MY turn for a scary story.~
Tom gulped, then gave Reshiram an over-the-top sneer. "Bring it."
N gulped himself. "Tom, you probably shouldn't-"
Reshiram smirked. ~It's called The Belly Button Eater.~
Roger scoffed. "Like that old folk tale about Thundurus?"
~Thanks for the reminder to check up on him. But worse.~
"How?" said Tom, still forcing a sneer.
Reshiram made a broad gesture with her wings. ~One night, a lonely man named Dave was working late at his office, when a Glalie suddenly appeared and said, "I am Solonn. Follow me..."~
It was broad daylight. The trees were dappled in the rays of the sun as bird Pokemon continuously chirped.
Reshiram awoke, yawned, then preened herself. She then blinked, looked to the house she and the others were living at, then to a nearby shed and sighed.
She opened the shed door to find N, Tom, and Roger, clutching each other close trembling and cowering.
~Okay, guys, look, I may have gone over the top with the story but it's been two days and-~
"Belly button eater!" they yelled in unison.
Reshiram sighed again and closed the door.
