Chapter 22: Lovers
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, Ashley and Queen Venomica.
The following morning had arrived in Ashley's house. The blond woke thinking all the sex she had with Hotaru was just a dream. Honestly she hoped it wasn't just a dream she loved the sex she had with Hotaru seeing Hotaru's body up close feeling every inch of her. All of Hotaru's wonderful body was hers all last night. She opens her eyes and stretched and it was then she felt someone's breast. She turned seeing Hotaru was sleeping right besides her in her bed. Her heart pounded happily as she was happy that it wasn't a dream. All of last night was real! Hotaru and her were in a girlfriend relationship. Upon feeling Ashley's hands on her breasts Hotaru woke and saw her lover whom smiled kissing Hotaru's lips "Morning Hotaru!"
Hotaru smiled "Morning Ashley!"
Ashley sat up with Hotaru following her movement and the two girls stared at each other happily admiring each others bodies. Ashley loved every inch of her Hotaru and Hotaru felt the same for her. Ashley wondered if she and Hotaru would stay this way until at least college where they could marry. She blushes red at the thought of marrying Hotaru, that could be a possibly but it was too early for those type of thoughts.
"Want to shower with me Hotaru?" Ashley asked.
"Might as well" Hotaru answered.
The two girls head to Ashley's bathroom to take a shower together. After their shower together the girls dry off, get dressed, have breakfast, then after watching Ashley fail to undo Loveria's petrification, the two head out to their school bus stop.
As they were waiting for the bus Ashley asks Hotaru "What am I doing wrong Hotaru? I feel I'm doing everything right but nothing works for Loveria."
"Good question" Hotaru admitted "All I can think of is that whatever Cipher did might be impossible to undo but I want us to be able to do something in the end."
Ashley agreed "Right. It's just sad what they did to her."
The two girls see the school bus coming towards their stop. Once it came to a complete stop the girls got onto the bus, unknown to them two of Queen Venomica's subjects had spied on the two girls from the events of last night till this morning. An evil grin was scene on both of their faces, like all demons they loved any type of sex including gay or lesbian sex. Unlike god, demons could care less about whom was having sex especially when it involved a sex that God forbid.
"Jussst wait till our Queen hearsss about thisss! Her favorite prey item Hotaru has a girlfriend in that blond girl!" the first one said.
"Indeed, Queen Venomica will be able to hatch her latessst plan!" the second subject said.
The two slither off to report to Queen Venomica and Erdos.
Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Queen Venomica was up sense dawn waiting for her spies. Erdos had just gotten up and walked towards her. The Succubs Naga Queen was at full strength now and had feasted on two to three other girls in the night before. Mostly all female Cipher soldiers that Erdos was forced to let her devour but the third girl was a girl that had went to Hotaru's school curtisy of Ardos setting that up in secret. Her stomach was full with the three eaten girls inside her. For now she was sluggish but still wanted the ulitmate prize to devour Hotaru Hatsumi, now that was a meal worth fighting to get in the Succubus Naga Queen's eyes.
"If I eat her again...I'll make sssure she never essscccapesss again!" she hissed venomously she heard her spies arriving as did Erdos "Ah...My subjectsss return!"
The two male Succubus Nagas bow before their queen upon knowing she had caught sight of them. She turned "What have you two have to report?"
The first rose "My Queen, my brother and I have watched our foe Hotarumon 14 and Ashley all night long. And boy do we have some juicy knowlege for you!"
"Yeah!" the second said "Those two mated! And are together!"
Erdos blushes red at this information and the image of two naked girls mating with each other not because he didn't like it which he did it just gave him perverted thoughts which he didn't need at the moment "Please say that I didn't hear that right...Now I can't get that image out of my head. Curse you two for revealing that!"
Queen Venomica on the otherhand grinned "You don't say? Hotarumon 14 and Assshley are together hugh? Oh wonderful!"
"Should've known you'd like it" Erdos muttered "Being demons."
"Any sin humansss create is loved by any demon" Queen Venomica told him "But this information can help us and has allowed me to hatch a plan!"
Erdos turned towards her "A plan?"
She nods "Yes, and little Assshley will once again be the key to it. We kidnap her and force Hotarumon to come for her girlfriend alone where we can lead her into a trap which she'll suspect none-the-less but if she comes alone...We'll have her in our grasps and I'll devour her first in front of Ashley."
"If she doesn't come for Ashley?" Erdos asked.
"Oh she'll come" the first male Succubus Naga said "That much is cccertain!"
"But if she doesssn't...She'll lose Assshley."
Queen Venomica's forked tonuge flickers as she agreed "Indeed...If she doesn't come, I'll eat Assshley and ssshe'll lossse her first ever lover."
Erdos understood now "Oh!"
Queen Venominca nods "Sssurely if Hotarumon 14 cares for Assshley ssshe'll come to sssave her, and will follow our termsss to come alone."
"Fine" Erdos admitted "But how are we gonna kidnap Ashley when she's in school?"
Queen Venomica hums "Oh there are several waysss. Ardos could lead Ashley towards me or knock her out and give her to me. Or...I can ssshape ssshift into Hotaru and cccapture her that way."
Before Erdos could ask how that was possible the Succubs Naga Queen shapeshifted into Hotaru. Erdos smirks "Oh? Both plans can work."
"Indeed but capturing Assshley is just part one of the plan, part two of the plan is to get Hotaru to come to our location...Alone then kill her in your eyes or I'll eat her."
Erdos nods "And to pick out a Shadow Pokemon for the job of killing her."
"Use ether a Poison or Steel Type" Queen Venominca said "For Hotaurmon 14 will be using Sylveon."
Erdos thinks on it "She will?"
"Oh she will Erdosss" the second naga said "She'll use her best transformation or the one she has the most practice with. Even a fool wouldn't realize she'd wouldn't use her Fairy Type form."
Queen Venomica flicks her tonuge "And I'll eat her in that form! I just wisssh I could chew up her feet for she used her claws to nearly slash my eyes out when she rescued her mother and Loveria, but oh well."
She goes off to complete phase one of her plan
Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru had arrived at their school and was having a great day. The teachers even Ardos welcomed Hotaru back with opened arms. Hotaru still didn't expect Ardos to be a part of Cipher and neither did Ashley or Darnel. Erdos had informed Ardos of Queen Venomica's plan and Ardos was waiting for his chance to help Queen Venomica capture Ashley.
As the day continued things seemed to go smoothly for Hotaru and her two friends. That was until they were about to go into PE. Ashley was heading towards the restroom while the real Hotaru was heading towards her PE classroom. Ardos watches the blond girl just as he sensed Queen Venomica approaching. He turned towards her "Queen Venominca..." he muttered silently.
She nods shapeshifting into Hotaru "It'sss me...Where isss Assshley?"
"Heading towards the restroom" Ardos answered "School's just too crowded for me to try to capture her. Plus too many witnesses."
"No worriesss! Demonsss have waysss of getting away with captivesss."
The Succubus Naga Queen followed Ashley silently unseen. Then once Ashley went into the restroom, Queen Venominca followed too and was now inches away from Ashley. Ashley saw what appeared to be Hotaru in the mirror "Hotaru?"
Ashley recalled Hotaru had told her she was heading to PE. Ashley turned towards the fake Hotaru then screams as the fake Hotaru lunges at her revealing herself to be Queen Venomica "QUEEN VENOMICA!
Queen Venomica smirks "We meet again Assshley"
Ashley gulps scared of being eaten now even as the Succubus Naga Queen constricts her. Ashley gasps for breathe "Nuts! Right after I've confessed to Hotaru!"
"Oh don't worry your little head off" Queen Venominca said to Ashley "After all, I'm not gonna eat you yet...You're worth keeping alive for now, but for now I need you unconsious so no one ssseesss your abduction."
Queen Venomica continued to squeeze Ashley till she is rendred unconsious. Then the Naga Succubus Queen puts Ashley under her arm and after a puff of smoke vanishes with her captive. No one saw them disappear.
Queen Venominca arrived at their location putting Ashley their captive in a chair. Erdos arrived "Good work"
"Thanks...Now we contact Hotarumon 14 and send her on her way. Once Assshley come around."
Ashley would come around two hours later finding herself tied and in Cipher and Queen Venomica's custody.
"Now Ashley" Erdos said "We meet again."
Ashley eyes him trying not to look at them fearfully "What are you gonna do with me?"
Queen Venomica smirks "You're gonna help us lure Hotarumon 14 here. You're being held for ransom."
Ashley grits her teeth "Of course you sickos will want to kill my Hotaru using me!"
Erdos puts a hand on her shoulder "Don't you touch me!"
He smirks "Oh? You're in no demand to say that." he gags her with cloth "Now to send a message to Hotaru."
Ashley's eyes filled with tears as she was a hostage now "Hotaru...Please don't get yourself killed trying to save me."
"Oh if ssshe caresss for you ssshe will" Queen Venominca teased Ashley.
Ashley hung her head sighing hating to be used as bait to lure Hotaru towards her attackers.
At Hotaru's school, Hotaru and Darnel were searching for Ashley whom had gone missing. They had looked everywhere once Gym class was over and they were at lunch. Hotaru was worried about her girlfiriend, it wasn't like Ashley to skip classes. Hotaru even checked the girls' bathrooms with no avail. She sighs walking back to Darnel. Darnel turned to her "Any luck finding Ashley?"
"Sadly no, and I'm worried" Hotaru admitted.
Darnel nods "I am too!"
Hotaru sat down with him to try to eat. It wasn't long before Hotaru was confronted by Miror B whom made his way towards her unstopped.
"Miror B!" Hotaru shouts.
"What is he doing here?" Darnel asked "And why hasn't the school stopped him?
Hotaru shrugged as Miror B turned towards her "Hotaru Hatsumi!"
Hotaru glared at him "What is it?!"
Miror B held up the randsom note "Message for you!"
He tosses it over towards Hotaru then just as mysterious as he had arrived he seemed to vanish. Hotaru caught the note and revealed it, read it then gasped "They have Ashley!"
"Who?" Darnel asked.
"Cipher and Queen Venomica have her!"
"Nuts!"
Hotaru read the note more "If I want to see my beloved Ashley again...They want me to come to this location alone! If I don't...Queen Venominca will eat her!"
"This is a trap if you go alone Hotaru" Darnel told her.
Hotaru agreed with a frown on her face "You're right...It smells trap all over it...However, I can't allow Queen Venominca to eat Ashley. I won't allow it...Trap or no trap...I'm gonna save her."
Darnel frowned too "I might tag along then."
"Please don't" Hotaru told him "Even though it would be good having backup, I don't want the enemy to kill her for me not compling with their order. However...Maybe there is a way we can fool them."
Darnel turned to her "I'm listening."
She thinks of one "First I'll go alone as planned. Before they spring their trap, I'll make a dash to Ashley to free her and then tell her to make a break for it. No matter what she shouldn't stop until she's safe and sound and this is where you can come in, to make sure she stays safe and out of the way. I'll make sure their attention is on me while you and Ashley get away."
"I'm sure Ashley will be a bit stubborn leaving you behind" Darnel told her.
Hotaru blushes "Oh she will be...But I want her to be safe. No matter what I need you to get her out of there. If I start worrying about her safety, I'll get injured badly, and Queen Venomica will certainly take that to her advantage."
Darnel agreed "Alright then. So do you know where?"
Hotaru checked the note "It shows me where she's being held."
Hotaru turned to Darnel "I'm gonna go after Ashley after school first thing when school gets out."
Darnel nodded towards her "Okay."
For the rest of the day Hotaru went to her classes still worried for her Ashley. Once all classes were over, Hotaru was true to her word, choosing Butterfree to fly to the area. Once she had flown she transforms back to normal as she heads into the building looking for Ashley. Once in she saw Ashley in a chair and the blond saw her worried with eyes that told Hotaru this was a trap!
Hotaru didn't care and she ran over towards Ashley and rapdily tries to untie Ashley. The first to come off was the gag. Ashley shouts "HOTARU! THANKS FOR COMING FOR ME BUT, IT'S A TRAP!"
Hotaru smiled warmly and kisses her although Ashley could tell Hotaru knew that it was but came to save her anyway plus she was scared too, but she still came to save her lover. Hotaru looks at Ashley untying her "Once I get you freed, I want you to run. No matter how bad it may look on my end, run as far as you can!"
Ashley looked deep into Hotaru's own worried eyes then nodded. She'd let Hotaru fight this battle no matter how bad it may look. Suddenly she shouts "HOTARU BEHIND YOU!"
Hotaru heard slithering and backflips out of the way landing oddly on a wall almost like Spiderman as she looks at Queen Venomica "Queen Venominca!"
"Hotarumon 14!" Queen Venomica hissed "We meet again."
"Indeed" Hotaru said seeing Queen Venominca guarding Ashley with Cipher Soldiers filling in the room with Erdos approaching "The gang is all here."
Erdos smirks "Ready to die for your lover?"
Hotaru growls "Only you and Venomica will kidnap the one I love!"
Erdos aimed a gun at Hotaru "Maybe but you will die!" he pulled the trigger.
Hotaru heard the gun firing and somehow managed to avoid being shot falling onto the ground. As she was doing so she was turning the Rototrix to the Pokemon she wanted which was indeed Sylveon. Just as she hit the ground safely she growls "Shooting at me before I transform are we?"
She dodged another tail swipe from Queen Venomica then slaps her Rototrix down "I'm not running away!"
. White light shown around Hotaru's body as she lost her clothes, White fur, sprouts pink hair with Sylveon's pink ears filled with a blue color inside the ears, she gain all of Sylveon's ribbons with two wrapping around her head with a bowtie attaching to her head, the ribbons are blue and pink at the end, she also gains another two ribbons attached in a bowtie around her neck, grows a pink Sylveon tail, along with pink hands and pink feet. When the transformation ended Hotaru was "Sylveon!"
Seeing her girlfriend as Sylveon was turning on Ashley wanting to bang it but right now this wasn't the time for having sex with Hotaru as Sylveon. Hotaru now looks at all of her foes determined to save her girlfriend glaring trying to make her glare as hard as if she was the Batman. Amazingly somehow it did intimidate some Cipher Soldiers those that were slightly new to being Cipher members. Queen Venomica and Erdos however weren't intimidated by the glare. Queen Venomica smirks at Hotaru "Being brave are you? You've chosen whom we thought you would...And when you are beaten and taken captive I'll eat you!"
Hotaru eyes them "You have my girlfriend as your prisoner! I will not allow you to take Ashley and hold her hostage! I will save my girlfriend...Even if it costs me my life! Here I come!"
Hotaru prepares to fight her foes as she charges forward Ashley extending the claws in her hands to cut Ashley's ropes off.
Erdos held up a Pokeball "Then you shall die today Hotarumon 14!" he throws the Pokeball to unleash the Shadow Pokemon.
The ball comes forward, bursts opened and out comes a four blue legged steal type Pokemon with two red eyes "METAGROSS!"
Erdos holds back a small smile with Queen Venomica having stolen a Mega Stone from a female Pokemon Trainer "It won't be long Queen Venomica, she'll die."
"Oh I look forward to ssseeing her sssurprisse when we reveal a ssspecial trick."
Hotaru glared at the Metagross seeing it was a Shadow Pokemon feeling a bit intimidated knowing she was at a mismatch against this thing could she beat it as Sylveon as well as fight against Queen Venomica? She was gonna see for herself for she knew that if she didn't, she was dead and most likely eaten she looked at the Shadow Pokemon muttering to herself the popular line she heard from Yoda when watching Star Wars one night when she was recovering at home before charging into save Ashley "Do, or Do not, there is no try."

Back to Show
Hotaru was charging her foes to save her lover whom was still tied to the chair. As she was charging she mentally asks her Rototrix What Pokemon is that?
As if reading her thoughts the Rototrix answered "THAT'S A METAGROSS! THE EVOLVED FORM OF METANG! A STEEL AND PSYCHIC THAT SMASHES THROUGH ANYTHING IT WANTS! IT'S BRAIN IS SAID TO BE AS POWERFUL AS A SUPERCOMPUTER!"
"A Steel and Psychic Type?" Hotaru whimpered lowering her Sylveon ears not liking the Steel type revealment as that was a weakness she had as Sylveon.
She took a good look at the Shadow Pokemon's body getting the vibe that it would only take one good hit to damage her badly. This only meant one thing, KEEP HER FOE AT A DISTANCE! And she knew there were two main foes to defeat this Shadow Metagross and Queen Venomica. She oddly knew she could handle Queen Venomica as Sylveon thanks to her Ribbons but that Metagross's body just screamed to her it was death if it hit by a close ranged combat attack.
Queen Venomica hisses "KILL HER!"
Cipher Soldiers took aim and fired at Hotaru. Hotaru used her ribbons to deflect each bullet back Wonder Woman style even back to some soldiers. Ten soldiers fell five were wounded and five others were killed by the deflected bullets. Hotaru heard Queen Venomica coming towards her, and wrapped her ribbons around her foe's fangs and managed to pick up Queen Venomica then sensing the Shadow Metagross was coming towards her she picked up the Succubus Naga Queen somehow and threw her onto the Shadow Metagross taking both down.
"This won't be easy taking on a Shadow Metagross as Sylveon" Hotaru muttered.
The Shadow Metagross growls as Queen Venomica gets off it hissing "That was a lucccky escape."
Hotaru saw Cipher Soldiers still guarding Ashley and she rushes towards her "Make way I'm coming through to save her!"
She charges in using her ribbons to deflect bullets left and right till she gets over to Ashley. Once close she attempts to slash Ashley's binds but found herself frozen in midair "WHAT THE?"
Erdos smirks "Feel the power of of a Psychic Type Pokemon using Psychic!"
Hotaru felt the Shadow Metagross's mind lift her frozen body but she still managed to stretch out two claws slashing two ropes that were holding Ashley captive. It was two slight slashes because the Shadow Metagross sent Hotaru towards a wall slamming her with enough force to nearly snap anyone else's back due to the high speed impact. Instead of her back being broken, she was in pain fighting while using her ribbons to deflect bullets, she eventually gets on all fours, leaps up flipping right back onto her feet glaring at her enemies growling determined to save the one she loves no matter what happened to her, and no matter how MUCH pain they were gonna deliver to her.
The bullets kept on coming towards her but she deflected them back towards her attackers. Erdos smirks "Let's see you deal with this...Metagross, use Bullet Punch!"
Hotaru heard the order but was unprepared for what happened next. Well she could've done something but currently her ribbons had wrapped around Queen Venomica's fangs preventing them from biting her, but she took a tail whip from the Succubus Naga Queen which whipped Hotaru backwards a bit then WHAM! Hotaru coughs up blood as the Shadow Metagross's fist slams into her like a high speed bullet nearly breaking her chest wide open as the attack connected. Hotaru goes flying landing hard coughing up more blood while struggling to breathe with her chest injury so bad.
"Hotaru!" Ashley calls out fearing Hotaru was near death, she even had tears streaming down her face fearing this.
Hotaru struggled to get back onto her feet but she does still coughing up blood thinking I was right! Shadow Metagross isn't a foe I can beat in close combat! One more super-effective move like that and it's most likely I'll not just faint but die as Sylveon!
Despite the constant pain she was in in her chest she gets back up bravely and Ashley could see how much pain her girlfriend was in but blushes in love with her seeing Hotaru determined to save her, no matter what.
Erdos smirks "Almost dead are you? Well, don't worry a Meteor Mash is coming your way!"
Hotaru stood up seeing the Shadow Metagross's shadow coming from the sky one huge claw glowing like a meteor. Hotaru looks up at the shadow of her attacker, senses Queen Venomica coming right behind her. She coughs up more blood knowing she had been hurt really bad. With all her available strength she managed to grab hold of the Shadow Metagross's arm then she hurled it right at Queen Venomica so that she took the Meteor Mash to the face dazing her and the result sent the two crashing into the ground below. Hotaru's brain was racing for answers she had very little time to react when the Shadow Metagross grabs her with Psychic and brings her forward it and Queen Venomica. Both prepared to strike her once she got to close range. Hotaru grits her teeth trying to resist the psychic grip on her body and managed to do so slowly gathering in ghostly energies in a ball and unleashed Shadow Ball at point blank range just as it seemed that the Shadow Metagross was about to strike her down alongside Queen Venomica. The Shadow Pokemon took the most of the blow with Queen Venomica resisting the move but it did what Hotaru wanted it to do, free her from the grip sending her in midair still deflecting bullets. All except for one as she landed on all fours which got her in the leg causing her to yelp and briefly bring one of her ribbons to feel her blood flowing from the wound. Luckily the bullet got her in the kneecap but it still hurt. Growling heavily she focused all her might forming stars around her body then she hurls a Swift Attack at all opponents. The stars were even sharper than ever before striking the Cipher Soldiers, Queen Venomica and the Shadow Metagross with the Shadow Metagross resisting it while the rest took enough damage to ether stop them or daze them. She huffs heavily damaged already when she heard clapping sounds coming from Erdos "Well done Hotarumon 14, well done so far...but" he reveals the Mega Stone in his hand and Hotaru saw the other one in Metagross's "But things are far from over!"
He presses the button and Hotaru saw energies forming around Metagross and it litterally now became bigger with two Metagrosses on each other upright.
"NOW IT'S MEGA METAGROSS!" the Rototrix shouts in alarm.
Hotaru grits her teeth more her ears lowered again and her tail was tucked between her legs giving the enemy the knowledge she knew she was in greater trouble now "Great..."
Erdos commands it "Now face off against Mega Metagross's Bullet Punch!"
Hotaru watches as Mega Metagross came at her this time she saw it's claws lengthen as it came at her like a bullet. "TOUGH CLAWS ABILITIY! Improving the power of physical contact moves except Earthquake and Bulldoze!"
Then before Hotaru could react, Queen Venomica spat venom, right into her eyes blinding her "AHHHH! NOT AGAIN!"
Hotaru falls back onto her butt rubbing at her eyes which were burning with pain. Now this would make it harder for her to fight back. Ashley sees this gasping while moving her hands freely "Hotaru!"
Hotaru couldn't see the Mega Metagross coming at her however she managed to raise a ribbon catching one of it's claws stopping the attack by mere luck. She growls knowing things weren't in her favor she had to rinse her eyes out. However Erdos smirked "Now Mega Metagross! Meteor Mash her!"
Hotaru heard this and tried to use her ribbon to stop the attack but Venomica whips out her long tail intercepting the ribbons "That'sss enough of deflecccting!"
Hotaru grunts trying to free herself then she was forced to be pounded into the ground with the Mega Metagross using Meteor Mash on her continously.
"HOTARU!" Ashley calls out to her.
Queen Venomica smirks "Don't let up Mega Metagross! Keep pounding till ssshe ssstopsss moving!"
Ashley couldn't afford to watch this any further. She broke free and ran towards Hotaru whom was in a bloody hole nearly broken all over "HOTARU!"
Amazingly Ashley avoided the Mega Metagross's attacks and summoned a barrier to see Hotaru. Hotaru was pretty much banged up "Hotaru..."
Hotaru barely had enough energy to open her eyes, her body in so much pain, heck she couldn't move her legs or arms due to the intenisdy of her injuries the Shadow Mega Metagross inflected onto her "Ashley...Run...Get away while you can!"
"I won't leave you!" Ashley told her hugging her girlfriend's bleeding and highly injured body "Not like this!"
Ashley wipes the venom out of Hotaru's eyes with one of her dress's sleeves.
"KILL THEM!" Erdos ordered "Meteor Mash!"
Queen Venomica hisses coming straight at the couple with Mega Metagross doing the same. Ashley turned her head towards the attackers, anger boiling over seeing her girlfriend in bad shape because she allowed herself to fall for Venomica's trap and get captured. She lost her parents most likely from Cipher...She wasn't going to lose Hotaru, not like this, if Hotaru were to die and by judging the damage state Hotaru was in now, she'd die alongside her. She focused in her energies and summoned a barrier of light energy which repelled both Queen Venomica's attack as well as Mega Metagross's attack. The barrier held with Ashley maintaining it looking at Hotaru's damaged body. Hotaru didn't have much left in her, but amazingly she was still finding the urge to stand despite her injuries "Hotaru...Don't push yourself..."
Hotaru watches as Erdos ordered a new move "Mega Metagross destroy that barrier with Brick Break!"
The Mega Pokemon comes at Ashley and Hotaru whom was trying to get onto her two feet but failing rapidly. The Mega Evolved Pokemon unleashed it's fist trying to break Ashley's barrier with Queen Venomica spitting actual acid at the barrier. Ashley's barrier was holding but Hotaru heard Ashley grunting meaning it was weakening. Ashley looks at Hotaru "Hotaru...I can't bare to watch you die, if you die, then I'll die alongside you!"
Just as Ashley stated this Mega Metagross unleashed one last Brick Break shattering the barrier and actually striking Ashley on her shoulder causing the blond the scream and kneel feeling her right shoulder.
"Ashley!" Hotaru shouts.
Ashley grunts on the ground with a broken arm "I'm okay...At least compared to you..."
Queen Venomica now comes at both girls fangs producing venom with Hotaru grunting and despite the pain she was in managed to wrap her ribbons around the huge fangs stopping them.
"Perfeccct trap! Now Mega Metagross...Meteor Mash them both!"
Hotaru glared at them feeling Ashley's love for her build into her vowing as the Mega Pokemon came at them readying itself for the kill shot. Light filtered around Hotaru "I won't die...And neither will Ashley on this day! We'll survive because love is greater than hatred!"
The light focused around Hotaru and she felt new power flowing through her vains.
"What'sss this light?" Queen Venomica asked "It can't be...The power of Love mannifesting itself in her!"
Hotaru stood up believing in herself and just as the Mega Metagross came to smash her, she blocks it with her ribbons and threw the Shadow Mega Metagross towards Queen Venomica taking both down. Hotaru stood upright feeling Ashley's love for her fuel her on. With two thrusts of her ribbons Hotaru wrapped them around the Shadow Metagross and Queen Venomica. The two attackers try breaking free but Hotaru managed to vibrate her ribbons with so much force that she actually set both Queen Venomica and the Shadow Mega Metagross on fire before throwing them.
"Imposssible!" Queen Venomica shouts "She's gotten stronger!"
Hotaru was still in pain "You demons don't know anything about true love! As long as I have Ashley with me and Darnel at times... You won't ever succeed in your hatred! Love will always prevail!"
She preforms Double Team making copies of herself.
"Enough of this!" Erdos shouts "Mega Metagross...Use Psychic on all of them!"
The Shadow Mega Metagross prepares to do so and unleashes it. The blast hit all the clones but misses the real Hotaru whom injured as she was mananged to get behind it then gathered a huge Shadow Ball and unleashed it striking it and it caused the Shadow Mega Metagross to fall to the ground defeated.
"One down!" Hotaru announced in front of a shocked Erdos "NO WAY! SHE BEAT A MEGA POKEMON!"
"I'll kill her!" Queen Venomica shouts coming for Hotaru's back.
Hotaru turned her head "You'll be blasted!"
She focused in her energies and unleashed a Moonblast at Queen Venomica whom took the blast sending her flying in an star finish "I'LL KILL YOU HOTARMON 14 YET! JUSSST YOU WAIT!"
Once Queen Venomica was gone, Hotaru breathe in and out "Want some more Erdos?!"
Erdos growls "You won this one!"
He retreats defeated.
Hotaru watches as the Shadow Mega Metagross turns back to normal still fainted. She coughs out blood still bloodied from her battle before hand. She walks over towards the fainted Shadow Pokemon "Shadow Pokemon defeated...Awaiting purification!"
"On it!" was the Rototrix's reply.
She waits for the Rototrix to purify the Shadow Pokemon and soon it was confirmed "Shadow Pokemon...Purified!"
"Thank goodness" Hotaru breathes out.
She picks Ashley up "Let's head out. You're hurt"
"Only a broken arm Hotaru" Ashley told her "Nothing compared to you..."
Hotaru heads out with Darnel rushing in "Hotaru! I'm sorry but I've been waiting for Ashley to run away just as you asked of me and...Oh my gosh you're bleeding badly, while seemingly have tons of broken bones and Ashley's got a broken arm!"
"Things got complicated" Ashley said.
Hotaru turns back to normal "Great...First a Totem Pokemon the night before and now a Mega Pokemon."
Darnel helps Hotaru by taking Ashley to Hotaru's house. Where Hotaru's mother gasps seeing Ashley's broken arm. Hotaru looks at her mother and father Kenshin explaining. Both parents were more worried at the damage Cipher had inflicted on Hotaru but were glad she prevailed. Hotaru's mother was casting Ashley's broken arm "Cipher is getting out of hand, kidnapping Ashley to lure our daughter into a trap which nearly killed her..."
Kenshin sighed "You're not wrong honey, but at least Hotaru succeeded."
"There sending stronger foes" Hotaru muttered to her parents and friends "First that escaped Totem Pokemon and now that Mega Metagross."
"That's the nature of enemies" Kenshin told his daughter "They'll send stronger foes. Hotaru, you're gonna need Ashley and Darnel even more than you know."
Hotaru nods " Indeed."
Hotaru turned to her mother "How's Ashley mom?"
Hotaru's mother frowned "Oh her arm is broken near the shoulder and she's lucky it's not completely fractured like poking out her. She should heal providing a doctor looks at it and she doesn't use this arm. "
"Thank goodness" Hotaru sighed with relief.
Hotaru's father Kenshin nods "Things may not look well Hotaru but you're mother and I support you."
"Thank you."
Darnel turned to her "You have me and Ashley supporting you as well."
Hotaru smiled "Thanks everyone...Maybe Darnel we can think of Cipher's next move."
"We should try to do so." Darnel said with Ashley nodding feeling horrible still that she had caused Hotaru to get badly injured...Still she realized their love for each other would carry them through. For now they could rest and prepare themselves with Hotaru knowing she'd have to do more than just sit around but after what happened today she felt as if she could do this. No matter how much pain she was in. She would never give up to stop Cipher. She had to in order to live with Ashley peacefully.
End of chapter, long chapter but I hoped you all liked this. I'm sadly still using Wordpad which is why there might be words misspelled. Next chapter is Chapter 23: Fossil Pokemon Fight: It's a race against time when a T-Rex Fossil Pokemon appears in Manassas and rampages downtown can Hotaru find the Pokemon before Cipher does or will Cipher turn it into a Shadow Pokemon?
