Devon turned his back turned to them for a few minutes. Misty looked over at her boyfriend as he slowly got to his feet. If he didn't get away while he had the chance we are all screwed… "Ash…" She mouthed. "Police...Run now while you cam."
But he shook his head as he slowly got up. "I made a p-promise that I'm gonna keep. Besides I'm not leaving either of you behind." He stated just like she had done not so long before.
"We'll be… fine. Just go. Please" she pleaded and He faltered.
Devon grinned as he turned around gave him a malicious smile as he brought out two metal rings, much thicker than the ones on Misty. "How sickeningly sweet. You don't want to leave them. Friends that stay together… get trapped together. You're mine" his eyes glowed as he threw them,
Ash tried to run but it was too late. The rings were much faster and they locked on to their target. "What the – ARRRGGGHH!" he shouted in surprise and pain as Misty and Pikachu yelled his name. The instant the cold metal rings clamped tightly around his arms and legs a sharp electric zap emitted from the rings and shocked him. He fell flat on his face on the ground as the attack stopped - narrowly missing a sharp stone
Somewhere in the thick woods behind Devon a familiar voice cried out (NOOO! -). Then the voice let out a cry of pain. The two humans and the mouse looked up and gasped when they heard it. Cyndaquil!
She's still alive! Pikachu thought.
Misty and Pikachu looked over at him with concern. (Are you okay?)
"Can you free yourself or even move?" she asked uncertainly. Those rings look pretty tight.
He tried moving his arms but as he did an even stronger shock struck him and he screamed. He groaned in pain as it went on-, trying to ignore his muscles screaming in pain. He gasped for breath when the attack ceased. Though he was used to his partner's electric shock this shock ring was beyond agonizing. "I … can't. "
Devon smirked as he walked toward the trapped mouse- expertly avoiding the dents in the earth. "You won't get away from that easily". As He approached him Pikachu tried to back away as far away as he could but the sticky Spider Web made it futile. He couldn't do anything as Devon picked up the net up with one hand so he faced him. He examined the injured occupant as if he were a tasty treat. "Now I see why he wants you," the villain remarked. "Your power is incredible. You're extraordinary for a common rodent. What other powers lay within you? "
(Are you completely insane, you psycho? What other powers? I'm just a regular Pikachu)
"That's not what I heard…" Devon muttered.
"Get your disgusting hands away from my Pikachu!" the cry came from his trainer but Devon ignored him
"Your Pikachu, brat? It's mine no. I won brat. So therefore your life, this runt and the cyndaquil are all mine. I can't wait to-"
The mouse spat in Devon's face. (Ponyta dung! You never said anything about stakes! All the note said-) he shuddered at the thought of that vile note (all it said w-was to find you in the woods if we ever wanted to g-get Cyndaquil back. You're demented and truly evil! And your boss is perhaps twenty times worse. We will never go back to him-even if you break us until we cry for mercy you won't break our spirits) he took the words right out of his trainer's mouth.
Great choice of words pal Ash thought
Devon glared as he lowered the net to lock eyes with the small bruised pokèmon. "As much as I'd love to kill you for that comment and I am so tempted to-" he hissed angrily- " I can't. My boss wouldn't like that whatsoever… especially when he has big plans for you, " the mouse shivered at that last statement. "But there is something I can do to get you to shut up. "
He thrust his free hand through the net and forcibly grabbed Pikachu's right paw. (Let go of me!) He yelped in pain as Devon gripped his paw even tighter. He couldn't get free since the grip was like a Machoke's- definitely way stronger than a typical human's.
"Leave him alone! What are you doing?" Ash cried out.
A few seconds later there was a loud POP in the air and Devon removed his hand. The two teens both gasped. The mouse's paw dangled limply at his side and there were deep purple imprints where his fingers were. The pokèmon was uttering soft cries of pain. "Don't worry. It's not completely broken... yet" Devon's eyes gleamed.
Misty struggled against her bonds but no such luck getting free, "you are appealing and twisted! What did he do to deserve that?" she gave him a hard look.
He kept his eyes on her as he reached into his vest jacket and took out a small pistol. She felt her heart pound fast in her throat. Oh no! He's going to kill me! He studied her for a minute "You're kind of pretty if I squint. I don't really need you but there is a way I can spare your life. I do get lonely, at so this Uh plan will work out for me too "he licked his lips hungrily.
{Is he utterly Zubat-crap insane?} Golduck asked in mind-speak. The rings around her arms were conveniently situated right around her pokeball belt so he couldn't pop out.
Seems to be. She shuddered- she had a sinking feeling about his 'plan'. I don't like that hungry look he's giving me.
{If this stupid ring weren't here I'd give him a huge piece of my mind I'd shove down his blasted throat and then I'd ice beam him}
Thanks Golduck she replied. Out loud she said. "WH-what do you mean?"
Devon's smile grew wider. " To act as my innocent charming girlfriend of course". Her jaw dropped in horror. "I need a charming young face to deceive people before I take their precious pokèmon away for 'testing'/ training depending on what... disguise me use. And on freezing nights it will good to have another body next to me to keep me warm. "
Misty's stomach churned as Golduck's pokeball shook. "Are you completely out of your deranged mind you villainous toad?" her voice was full of utter disgust. "You think that would help you, or that I'd dump my loving caring boyfriend and side with an uncontrollable pervert? I won't ever help you or that diabolical boss of yours so go find someone else, bozo"
He said nothing as he raised the gun until it lined up with her heart, now beating faster than a Rapidash. Pikachu was fidgeted at the net, trying to get free. He had as much luck as a Magicarp does of knowing Hyper Beam. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" Ash called out, fighting against His bonds. But the more he tried to move the quicker mini shocks well the electrical zaps coming quicker and more painful than before.
"Don't you even-?"
ZZZZAP! He groaned in pain as the ring shocked him.
"-Think of hurting-"
ZZZZZZZZZZAP!
"Misty, you sick-"
ZZZZZZZZZZAP!
"Cruel son of a bitch."
ZZZZZZZZZZAP!
"You're absolutely nothing but a heartless Bas-"
A six minute long one hundred fifty -volt shocks spared him from completing the word. "AAAAARRRRRGGGGH!'
During the attack Misty and Pikachu screamed his name as he cried out. A smell of signed flesh punctured the air, after it stopped they both asked at the same time.
(Ash!)
"Ashy! Are you all right?" Please oh please let him be okay.
He slowly raised his head and nodded. The skin around the metal rings was burned and his shirt was smoking. "I'm...fine. Considering. The. Situation", he said slowly.
Devon raised his eyebrows as if surprised to see the teen was still awake and the attack hadn't totally broken him. "Damm! What the hell does it take to stop you, you pesky twerp?"
"Determination and stubborn...Can't do this I won't let. You win ". He gasped as he tried to squirm out of the bonds but with zero success
"There's gotta be some way to make you surrender." Devon muttered. . "That Damm Cyndaquil's weak spot is being too softhearted and weak. -"
"Don't call her that!" the two teens said at the same time but he just ignored them.
He noticed the chain with the ring around Misty's neck and the way she was staring at the other teen. "That's a nice ring, girlie. The person who gave it to you must really love you. I'm sure they would do anything for you. " She didn't say a word." If you tell me who gave it to you I may consider letting you go. If not things could get...messy." He jerked his head to the boy. "Was it him who gave it to you?"
"You vile jerk! S-Stop it! I've b-been around enough villains to know you're lying. Leave her alone!" Ash heard himself say.
"I take that as a yes, seeing as I suspected it when e first met."
"Rot in hell."
"Temper, temper." Devon eyed Misty again, a cruel smile plastered on his face. Her heart pounded in her throat rapidly as he aimed the gun at her shoulders. . "Don't worry girlie. I won't hurt you… much. I just need him to surrender. "
" NOOOO!" Ash protested as Devon was about to pull back the trigger.
.
.
Suddenly something large white burst through the bushes behind Devon in a stream of white light. (NEVER EVER THREATEN TO KILL MY TRAINER, OR MY FRIENDS!) The long white figure used a flaming Rollout into him hard, knocking the gun & Pikachu out of his hands. The bullet flew into the air. The voice was loud and strong.
That voice Ash thought. It sounds so familiar
Pikachu's net fell out of his hands but got stuck on a small rock near his trainer. The gun clattered off in the opposite direction. The glowing creature saw Devon glance at it hungrily as he started to run towards it.
(Oh no you don't you evil creature) it growled as the flames vanished. (GO TO HELL YOU LARGE HORRENDOUS BASTARD!) Something in its deep voice rang a bell for the teens. Using what looked like ExtremeSpeed it burst into flames again, jumped into the air as if to perform a Rollout and knocked Devon aside before he could grab the gun. It landed right on the gun and crushed it to bits under their flaming paws. (Don't you even think about it? I had to deal with that gun many times)
"Who are you?" The man asked.
The figure looked at him as it circled him it looked like the size of a Quilava but was glowing so brightly Ash, Pikachu and Misty could only see the figure and the flames on its back. . (Do you recall a certain Johto fire type that rebelled then escaped from your deplorable compound?)
His eyes were wide as he remembered. "Th-that's impossible- y-you're dead! I killed you myself, you weak Quilava."
(Yes…You did kill me but I'm not weak) it said (but I've come back to aide someone else you've hurt) it growled at Devon, fury in its eyes as the flames vanished. There was a bright white light and the figure of a pale ghostly Quilava was seen for a few seconds. Then the white light faded as the creature's size diminished.
Devon, Pikachu, Misty and Ash stared at as the light faded revealing a single pokèmon. Misty, Ash and Pikachu's jaws dropped. Their eyes widened when they saw who it was. "Cyndaquil?" the two humans gazed at her.
(Holy Ho-oh….)
"YOU! How the hell did you escape?" Devon glared at the injured fire Pokèmon, who was breathing heavily.
Ash got a look at her and instantly felt hatred at Devon. Oh Cyndaquil... She'd been through hell. She was sweating badly. There were whip marks all over her. Numerable Cuts and slashes-some of which were still bleeding, danced across her body. He cheeks had slash marks on them and parts of her skin had electrical burn marks. There was a broken fireproof shock collar hanging loosely around her neck. The two humans noticed she looked thin and weak. "What did he do to you?"
"I'll ask again shrew, how the hell did you escape?"
(Not… telling) she said slowly as she limped forward. Her trainer observed her left forepaw was badly injured. She noticed ash and turned her gaze to him (are-are you okay?) she asked. He nodded.
"" That chain and the shock ring were made to be escape proof! Tell me how you broke from them and I *may * be lenient. ". Devon snarled sounding more animal like than human. ."But I'll probably whip and starve you for good measure. Then when it's once it's back to I'll have Espreon and the others torture you ... Even more so than the other day."
Ash Misty, and Pikachu all yelled at the same time:
"Don't you lay a finger on her again!"
You're an utterly monster!"
(How could you do that?)
"All of you Shut the hell up! I need to talk to that former weakling of mine." He glared at her so fiercely she felt rooted to the spot. "Tell me how you got free, runt or it will get very nasty and ugly for all four of you, beginning with you"
. She shook with fear as her gaze went from Ash to Devon and back for a few minutes. "Well?" Devon growled impatiently. "I'm waiting? Tell me now or Teriados gets a new. Plaything"
The evil hybrid snickered. (It's on you rat. Should I rough up the boy before the big boss comes? Or do I slash up the yellow rat even more so? Or Should I go for the girl?) It turned its attention to each in turn as her heart raced in her throat. (Tick tock, tick tock)
She gulped and looked over at her trainer, He had two very thick metal arms on his arms and legs and areas around the rings had burnt skin, "you h-h-have to tell him girl. D-don't risk it. … Please,"
She inhaled. (. When Espreon fainted it broke the shadow hold on me. Two, when i heard what was going on anger erupted in me like never before and my m-mom's ghost showed up. ) She gazed at her trapped friends for a few seconds. (She possessed me long enough to give me a boost of power as y-you saw. Sh-she came back for one p-purpose-to see me d-defeat you.)
" You're becoming a real pain in the ass. Leave ... him for me and I may let you live... either in a tiny cage or until the next pit fight"
They saw a fury in her eyes like never before-an absolute utter hatred for Devon. She shook her head. (Hell freaking no! after the unkind treatment you gave me I'd never leave my friends and loving trainer to you! let them go now, Devon. Th-this fight has nothing to do with them so leave them alone. It's between you and me)
"Don't talk back to me you lost rat! I'm your master now so respect me!"
(Never! I'll listen to you the day digletts fly in the air. )
" I won you in that battle fair and-"
She scoffed. (Fair? Fair you disgusting demonic human? That is a big load of total Miltank bosh. Y-you never intended to let me go. You still want r-revenge on me for l leaving with Quil-Mom. Ash, Misty and Pikachu have nothing to do with your vengeance o-On me so L-leave them alone. It's me you want. This is between you and me. )
Devon let out his cruel cold laugh. "Ha! Stupid idiotic Cyndaquil. Like I told you they were my targets all along- well not the loudmouthed girl." Misty glared at him for the insult. "Snagging you was just an unexpected bonus. After the trouble I went through to weaken those two-" he jerked his head to Ash and Pikachu - both of whom threw daggers his way with their eyes. "For my boss -you want me to give them up?" He smirked. "That's where you are very, very mistaken. You remember Teriados from my little ' training session ' the other day don't you?" She cowered with fear as the hybrid gleamed at her hungrily.
Ash, Pikachu and Misty looked over at the cowering injured Pokémon- it was clear that Devon's training session' had been all about revenge on her and beating her to a pulp. That's way beyond horrendous what he did to her. Devon is nearly as evil and cold hearted as his maniacal power hungry boss Ash thought.
The two teenagers shouted at the same time :
" training session? More like beat the crap out of her session!"
" how could you do that to her you sick beast?"
(I can't believe you would ..sink that low) Pikachu uttered between cries of pain.
Devon looked over at his captives. " so what if I did?" He asked without feeling guilty or remorseful. "She was original mine so I had every right to treat her that way." He gazed over at Teriados. "Weaken and beat her to a pulp. But don't kill."
( gladly!) The mutant sprang at Cyndaquil but she was somewhat ready. She moved out of the way but the hybrid nicked her back leg with its claw. She winced as it slowed her down. Teriados used a thick Sand Attack to cover the battling area so the two teens couldn't see what was going on, only hear the snarls, yelps and clashing sounds of the two Pokémon. They were immediately reminded of Persian's attack on Pikachu on the airship not that too long ago. . It was only a matter of ten minutes before Teriados blew the sand away and the victor was revealed.
(Oh no… poor Cyndaquil.) Pikachu said the words out of Ash and Misty's mouths. She was under Teriados' clawed foot, looking so small and vulnerable. She was panting for breath, beaten badly with even more cuts and bruises on her body than before. However there were a few scars on the hybrid's body that she had given it.
(Shaddup you pest.) The mutant lifted its foot and used a thick String Shot to trap her body in a thick cocoon that stuck to the ground. All that was visible was her head .she struggled to free herself but it was futile.
"Nice job Teriados. Return," Devon returned the manmade Pokémon to its pokeball then knelt down to face his former Pokémon.
(Let me go! Let me go! ) She struggled against her bonds but no luck. She was terrified.
Devon laughed. "And why would I do that? I was planing on dealing with my some unfinished business with you once I was rid of them…" he glanced over at the other three captives who gulped and the Fire Type shuddered. "But now since you've proven be more than a pain in my ass I may just deal with you in front of them, you miserable little runt. That ought to break their spirits. "
His left arm glowed white, as it grew longer and sharper. Within a few seconds the light vanished. His captives' eyes went wide and their jaws dropped for a good reason, Where the arm had just been there was a sharp green and white blade like Scyther arm easily capable of slicing through logs.
