And I'm back once again with another chapter of Final Poke-Fantasy, Now I'll admit it is at around this point that I had to start rewriting on paper due to my laziness.
Lloyd: Brutally honest you are.
PC: Don't make me get your girlfriend to bust out the bone dragon we've got wandering the place.
Lloyd: Please don't.
PC: Then let's get the chapter going.
Lloyd: Not until you promise not to call Marie
PC: *Smirks evilly* OH MARIE! CAN YOU BRING THE BONE DRAGON!?
*Lloyd starts running away screaming*
PC: Anyway onto Saturday of Dragon*Con, that day I chose to go as a generic Pokemon trainer with a Charmander in my backpack, and a Meowth on my shoulder. There was also a parade that day which I went to, heck I saw the puppet from FNaF walk past me 6 times. After the Parade I went to a Team Rocket panel, and was pointed out by the Giovanni running it as soon as I stepped in, I never thought I'd hear so many jokes about Zubat, one of which was that they have a Zubat cannon. After that I went people watching and even staged a starting Pokemon battle for a picture. Good day Saturday.
Now for the Chapter
*Chapter 10*
*Byron's P.O.V.*
"I think it's official now, we've reached Inferis." I said looking around the area and seeing not a tree, or that much vegetation past the border of the Blossom Forest for that matter. "I'm surprised at how little vegetation there is around here considering volcanic areas are supposed to have excellent soil quality." Kraig said, "Well you can blame Dar-Arceus for that, the surge of fire types has caused them to just start burning everything around them." Clyde said.
After a few minutes of wandering through the lifeless fields my ears picked up the sound of a group of people struggling, and naturally I had to follow it to the source, "Dammit Byron, wait up." Kraig called as I sprinted ahead. Eventually I reached a depression in the ground and within that depression I saw a Mawile girl fending off a squad of Dar-Arceus's troops, all of which were Camerupt morphs.
The Mawile girl was wearing a steel hauberk with her greaves and boots looking like they were made of blue scales, most like that of a Gyarados, she was swinging around a pure black scythe with a blade shaped like that of Scyther's blade. Concerning her physical features one thing I noticed was her hair was extra long and tied up in a bundle, but I actually saw a mouth hidden in that hair, with a few teeth in fact, 'Yeah that'll make tussling her hair very interesting.' I thought as I leapt down to help her.
As I landed I drew my katana and chopped partially into the shoulder of one of the Camerupt as the Mawile cleaved another in two, "Who the hell are you?" The Mawile asked, "Byron Crimson, now duck!" I shouted, Her eyes widened as she ducked down so I could stab one of the Camerupt that were attempting to stab her, "Thanks, now you!" The Mawile replied as she pulled her scythe back, I ducked and saw she had decapitated a Camerupt behind me.
"RAAGH!" Kraig Shouted as he cut down one of last two Camerupt, as for the last one, well he and both learned that apparently the mouth on a Mawile morph can in fact use Bite, and based on the heavy crunch I heard, apparently Crunch as well.
"Arceus I hate cleaning out my mouth after doing that, So who are you guy's anyway?" The Mawile asked as she took out a rag to clean the blood from her hair's teeth, "Kraig Iyron." Kraig said putting away his axe, "Aria Desch." Aria said a little disappointed we didn't save any fight for her, "Reia Lake, Normalis mage." Reia said, "Clyde Hood, Merchant." Clyde said tipping his hat like feathers as much as he could, I'm still amazed that they actually exist on Honchkrow morphs, "Nyra Wyrm." Nyra said sheathing her sword, "Glad to meet you all, you can call me Oina." The Mawile said setting her scythe back on her back.
"I've got something to ask you all, seeing as there is a male Eevee in your ranks I can only assume you're going after Dar-Arceus, and in that case I want in ." Oina said rather firmly, "And why is that?" Nyra asked, "He sent his men to kill my family, all because they didn't join him, and he still wants me dead, so now I want him dead." Oina said, "I don't know, revenge isn't exactly healthy." I said, "I know that, I just want mom and dad to rest easy, listen I can handle myself, and I know for a fact that Dar-Arceus has something planned for the Volcano here." Oina said, "And how do you know that?" Nyra asked, "I killed a camp of his soldiers back at the base of the volcano, I didn't go any further because I know I can't take on whatever he's got up there." Oina said.
"Huddle." I said, an me and everyone but Oina huddled into a small circle, "Is it just me or does she seem too eager to join us." Nyra said, "Well Byron is an Eevee, plus in this land she's at a complete disadvantage." Reia said, "That's true, but the whole 'revenge' motive is a little too easy, according to my brother Dar-Arceus has never lacked preparation, it seems a little too convenient that she's the first to escape, well aside from Sarage thinking we weren't worth the effort." Nyra said, "Let's put it to a vote, Reia?" I asked, "I think she could join, the more that are keeping the foe away from me and Clyde the better." Reia said, "Let her stay here, it all seems too suspicious." Nyra said, "She comes, otherwise she'll just go get herself killed in her revenge quest." Aria said, "She can join, her natural Steel typing should prove to let her soak up some damage." Clyde said, "I think she should stay, I agree with Nyra, she seems way too eager to side with us, Kraig?" I said, "... She joins, but if we find any evidence that she's deceiving us, we leave her behind as she sleeps." Kraig said.
We turned back to Oina, "Okay, majority of the vote's say you can join." I said, and I swear to Arceus I saw a glint in her eye's, "Great, Dar-Arceus won't know what hit his plans." Oina said.
As we walked down the visible path Kraig and I slowed down to speak with Nyra, "I'm glad you two could see what I was getting at, but Kraig why did you vote for her to join?" Nyra asked, "A wise man once said, 'Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer', and when I said we'd leave her behind, I meant we take her prisoner and use her to get information on Dar-Arceus if we could." Kraig said, "And if we couldn't get anything from her?" Nyra asked, "Then there's one less mouth to feed, and more blood on my cleaning rag." I said. Soon after we said Oina walked over to Nyra, "Your brother's a General of Dar-Arceus Right?" Oina asked, "He's not my brother any more." Nyra said, "Either way he is, based on your reaction, so how do we know we can trust you?" Oina asked, 'Fucking- Is she trying to shake the foundations of our teams trust?' I thought as Nyra stopped and jerked Oina's face toward hers, "Listen here, the only reason you're here still is because the three up ahead are so kind hearted, I am not with Dar-Arceus, Sarage is proof of that, and if you so much as even hint that I'm working alongside my brother, so help me Arceus I will Figure out how my brother can rip someone's skull out and beat the, to death with it." Nyra growled before dropping Oina and stomping on ahead. "oina I'm curious, do all Mawile morphs have a mouth in their hair?" I asked, "Never met a Mawile before huh? Well yeah all Mawiles have mouths in their hair, in fact our hair tends to naturally pull itself into this form as to better conceal the mouth, wanna try and kiss it?" Oina said as the mouth in her hair puckered up for a kiss, "Uh no thanks, I rather keep my lips thank you." I said, pushing the mouth down. Kraig soon grabbed her arm, "Listen girl, half of this team doesn't trust you, so you're walking a very thin line, step off that line and we leave your fate to the 'mon." Kraig said letting go as he and I walked to the head of the group.
We stopped at some bushes that were some of the sparse areas of life in Infernis, and looked ahead to see a camp set up, I took a pair of binoculars from Clyde and searched the camp. In the camp I saw several Machoke morphs wearing armors of several different furs, "Look's like a bandit camp, and not too far from town." I said, "So, it's a few bandit's, let the 'mon handle them." Oina said, I ignored her and continued to search around the camp, that's when I saw several cage's filled with Minccino, Charmeleon, Pyroars, and a Krookodile, all of which were Pokemorphs, and all of which were women, "Scratch that, not bandit's, Slavers." I corrected, "Arceus fucking hell." Nyra said, continuing to search the camp I spotted the wagon they use to transport all their slaves and it had a pair of Rapidash 'mon hooked up to it, "They've got a wagon with some Rapidash hooked up to it." I said, "If we take out those slavers we can commandeer that wagon and I won't need to purchase a new caravan." Clyde said, the last thing I found in the camp was what appeared to be an Infernape morph, who at that moment was shouting at a Machoke, then suddenly killed him with a mace to the face, "Uh… I think I spotted the leader, an Infernape that does not care for anyone who screws up." I said returning the binoculars to Clyde.
After we convinced Oina it was worth attacking the slavers, we charged them, now it may not have been the best plan, however these guys had no barricades and no archers, plus all they were armed with were bronze axes, they were practically asking to be attacked, and due to their lack of defenses, they were wiped out rather quickly. "You piece of tauros shit, do you have any idea who you're messing with!?" The Infernape yelled at me as I held him down, "Hmm, no." I said as he almost broke free, only to be shot in the head by Clyde, "Was that really necessary?" I asked dropping the dead Infernape, Clyde just shrugged as he calmly approached the Rapidash, I went over to the caged girls, "Don't worry, we'll take you to Magmus, there you'll be taken care of until you can hold your own, okay." I said to one of the girls, a Pyroar, who nodded, "Someone find the key so we can-" I started but was cut short by the sound of metal being torn, I turned around to see Kraig todding a cage door aside, "Well that'll work." I muttered.
After all the girls got into the caravan, as Clyde began calling it, We set off to Magmus and reached it fairly soon, the moment we were in the city I called over a few guards and asked them to escort the girls to a medical center ASAP, however one of the guards told me to meet with Inferis's King as soon as I could before he joined the rest of his fellow guards. So we drove the caravan to the gates of the King's palace, and walked inside and kneeled in front of the King, an Arcanine morph, in a lordly red robe. "Stand." The King said, and we obeyed, "I thank you for ridding us of those slavers, they attacked several small villages over the month and I could not afford to sent out a troop to hunt them down with the risk of a raid, may I ask your names?" The King continued, and we introduced ourselves.
"Byron… I wonder if-" I heard the king mutter, "UNCLE I'M BACK!" A woman's voice called out, snapping the king out of his thoughts, "Oh, SWEETHEART! COME MEET THE BRAVE GROUP THAT HANDLED THE SLAVER PROBLEM!" The King shouted out, "Byron and company, I'd like for you to meet my niece, Pyra Cano." The King said as a familiar Delphox came out from around the corner, "Byron? Is that you?" Pyra asked stunned, "Pyra? You're the king's Niece?" I asked, "Ah, so you are the same Byron my niece doesn't seem to want to stop talking about you." The King said, "Uncle." Pyra pouted, "Sorry." The king replied.
"Your highness, I'd like to ask you a few thing about the volcano here if that's alright with you." Kraig said, "Of course." The king said as Pyra walked up to me, "I'd like a rematch, our last match didn't really have an actual victor." Pyra said, and without waiting for an answer she started dragging me to the training room.
"So why the visit to Inferis?" Pyra asked while making an upward slash with her practice sword, "Trying to find anything that would hint to Dar-Arceus holding a legendary prisoner, most likely a massive pokemon of some sort." I said dodging the slash before countering with slash, "Well, there have been sightings of a pair of unnatural creatures up near the top of the Volcano." Pyra said dodging and then countering with a spinning slash, "That sounds useful, is there anything else that could be useful?" I asked ducking the slash, "Well there is Grievous Prison, I saw some of Dar-Arceus's men coming out of there once, YIIIAH!" Pyra shouted performing the same leaping spin as before, this time landing the hit, and breaking the practice sword I blocked with, however she doesn't seem to have master the landing as she fell on top of me again. "Sorry about that." Pyra said as our eye's met, "It's not a problem." I replied, "You know, this is kinda comfortable, being on top of you." Pyra said, "I kinda feel the same, save for stone floor under me." I said as our faces were just about touching each other, "Ah, blossoming love, it's always so beautiful to watch." Kraig said, "AH!" Pyra shouted and flung herself off me, "Kraig how the hell did you stay so quiet in that?" Pyra asked, "No clue, but I really didn't want to ruin the moment, but we gotta get going Byron." Kraig said as he left. I was about to follow, but Pyra held me back, "Once this is over promise you'll visit." Pyra said, "It's a date." I replied, and then she pulled me into a kiss I actually enjoyed.
*Hall of Origin's 3rd P.O.V.*
"Dammit." Deoxys said as she, Giratina and Virizion were watching Byron, "There is just about no chance that he would chose a Delphox over a legend as beautiful as me." Deoxys said, "Don't get your hopes up, you're just a space virus who built your own form, I doubt you can make him happy, I've got my own private realm where we can have all kinds of fun." Giratina said, "I can always alter my feature to fit whatever puts a tent in his pants." Deoxys said as her breast visibly grew a size, "You two are way too assertive for Byron's tastes." Virizion said, "What did you say!" Giratina shouted as the three started fighting.
I know I'm not usually one for alcohol, but all this fighting is making me debate on actually trying a mug." Terrakion said as he and Cobalion walked past the fighting trio, "I know what you mean friend, it's beginning to tempt me as well." Cobalion said.
Okay that's this chapter done, and I know the romance between Pyra and Byron seems to be getting rushed, however I'm not really that good with romantic crap.
Now I've started a poll for a side project to work on when I have spare time and don't have any ideas for the stories I'm working on, First is a Steven Universe fic that adds and OC into the beginning of the series, the second is a Starfox Fic that takes place in Adventures but replaces Fox with an OC, Lastly is a crossover fic between SMT Nocturne and Okami (Which I'm amazed hasn't happened yet.)
The Poll's up on my profile as well as three others I'd like you to check depending on your votes for the first one, and let me know if you can't reach the other three as this is the first poll I've done so I may need some help with working multiple polls, PM me if you can help me with that.
we'll see you next chapter.
Marie: And we still need OC's for future installments of the Final Poke-Fantasy series just so you know
