Alright, so I'm getting chapters out at a fair pace and the word count is increasing with (hopefully) no detriment being made to the content of said chapters. I'm gonna 'try' to start italicizing words that I want emphasized rather than just fully capitalizing the word. No promises, but still. Oh, and a bit of a blooper, but did anyone know that "leapt" isn't a word? Or at least by Grammarly's dictionary? Because every use of the word "leaped" in this chapter originated as "leapt" so that was a fail. Enjoy!
"How'd it go?"
"Does that mean that you're finally interested!?" A familiar slender man invaded the personal bubble of a coworker.
"I'm interested in how you can give that creepy smile in your condition." He leaned away from the probably deranged man.
The larger, sensible one hardly left his table anymore. Several papers that would need to be analyzed lay on it and he had an electronic tablet. His 'companion' had his arm in a sling and deep bandages covered it down to the elbow.
"Still, I know you like those boring 'sensible' answers. We had to use restraints. He broke the standard ones and melted through the cast iron and steel bands."
"He did what?" The man finally showed concern for the project. It wasn't that he never cared, but he morally disagreed with what they were doing. Having been said, getting the subject to use his powers was on the edge of impossible.
"Yeah! The system index read the attack as Sacred Fire. His resistance was the best thing that we could've hoped for." The slim man stared off into space as he spoke. They'd been irritated with the thing's refusal to attempt to reproduce with the vulpix they'd provided. Getting a Pokémon from the outside that was in heat had been a challenge since they didn't want Pokémon to know of their existence.
The subject's sexual discharge was secreted only after he'd managed to break his restraints and push the vulpix away. Put simply, the test for reproducing with Pokémon was simply inconclusive. His display of capability regarding legendary exclusive attacks, however, more than made up for the test being squandered.
"Sacred Fire... Is that Ho-Oh or Entei?" The larger man's interest had diminished judging by the sound of his voice.
"Who cares? We've seen him show prowess in fourteen of the sixteen Pokémon types now, and some of the tech guys said they had some research on brain stuff that they were gonna study to see if we can deal with the subject's resistance. It either needs to be negated or reduced to nominal levels, so we've got that to work on. In the meantime, you and I have work to do. We're supposed to figure out some stuff about legendary exclusives and how we can ensla- I mean utilize the subject's abilities. You can handle that right?" He grinned at his sane coworker.
"Of course I can." The other sighed sarcastically.
"Why do we even need escape orbs?" Cerulean asked Zero.
Team Fate was walking through Advent Town's streets. Currently, they were reviewing their supplies before heading to Mystic Lake, the dungeon they were supposed to explore. It wasn't confirmed to be a mystery dungeon, rather an enormous lake that a team from the Rescue Federation had stumbled on.
"If I get struck down in battle then you're probably screwed. You'd need those to get out of there."
"Do we always have to talk about you getting downed? Seriously it's like you have a thing for it," Glave retorted while taking a bite out of a berry. Cerulean giggled and Zero gave a light smile.
"I'm the most likely to fall is all."
"How does that work? Shouldn't it be me?" Glave asked as he swallowed the rest of his food. "I'm not resistant to a lot of types and the water types that I am resistant to usually know ice-type attacks. Electric types can paralyze me too."
Zero stopped and the three of them stood in a triangle. The human was used to this formation being a square between his former companions.
"I'm the most likely because I won't let you two fall. But for what it's worth, I do talk about this stuff a bit too much. Team Luck rarely saw a crisis, and this is only our second expedition. We probably have a few months before we have to fear for our lives." He smirked as he walked past the other two who followed.
"I think we've got everything. Right?" Cerulean asked Zero while looking into their treasure box. She was in charge of carrying it on missions, but as team leader Zero was the one who had the final say on items.
"Pretty sure we've been everywhere, so yeah. Those were some kind of looks I received back at the department store." Zero said, ending his statement in a mumble. He was used to solitude so other Pokémon's opinions didn't particularly bother him so long as they didn't directly inconvenience him. "I notice that this town has no mega stones, not even as jewelry. Well, I don't suppose either of would know anything about that since you just got here at the same time as me, Cerulean, and human talk was illegal not too long ago."
"Mega stones?" Glave asked Zero. He had to assume they had something to do with mega evolution, but every time he had spoken of it the conversation had been sidetracked.
"I thought you read up about mega evolution in that history book." Zero told the grovyle.
"I did, but I didn't get far into that section before everything went down last month. I thought it was just like... I don't know, human energy messing with Pokémon energy and... Well, I wasn't sure how the process worked."
"The lucario family and one other Pokémon with excessive aptitude with aura can mega evolve without a human. Aura is essentially the key, and the Pokémon has to like the human trying to initiate the boost for their energy to be compatible. Even still, it isn't that simple. The human needs a key stone that can stimulate their aura, and the Pokémon needs a mega stone to receive that concentrated aura. The energy transfer is also why no human could use two mega evolutions in battle."
"Do you know where to find mega stones? There isn't like a cliff or something made of the stuff?" Glave furrowed his brow. He was sure if he'd read further then he would be familiar with what the human was saying, but the whole thing was sounding complicated at that point.
"'The stuff.' I need to clarify that too. Every Pokémon species has a specific stone that they need to mega evolve, and it only works on final stage evolutions."
"What!? There are so many of us though... It must be impossible to find one you want." Dejection was leading Glave's voice out of his mouth.
"Not really. My understanding was that human societies were full of them. Mega evolution was a huge trend, and the stones were basically mass-produced. Or so I heard."
The team was closing in on the northern gate. They'd need to go up and East slightly to get to the lake. Walking was just an excuse to talk since Zero would teleport them when they were ready either way.
"So all Pokémon can mega evolve? Well, final stage Pokémon? I've never heard of legendary ones doing it, but I guess they were never that close to humans..."
"Yes and no at the same time. No one's to say whether all Pokémon can go mega or not. Some have never had their stone discovered. And only select legendary Pokémon can-"
"Wait, there are legendaries that can do it?" Cerulean cut into Zero's statement. "That's news to me."
"Specific ones are capable of it," Zero continued, disregarding the interruption. "Latios and Latias can do it, although the evolution looks really similar. Um, I think Rayquaza can do it as well. That might be it, actually. Oh, no there's another, but don't worry about it."
"Hmm. That isn't a lot." Cerulean was suddenly uninterested.
"Wasn't one of your former teammates a Latias...?" Glave spoke gingerly. "Could you two mega evolve, or...?"
Zero shrugged.
"She didn't have a Latiasite, and we never exactly looked for one either. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if we could have done it. Not that thinking about it could change anything." The human said with an air of finality.
The three were already outside of Advent Town's walls, but now they stopped walking and looked at each other. Cerulean and Glave nodded at the human and he knelt and touched a part of both of them. In the span of a second, they teleported far away from the city.
Before them now was an enormous body of water spanning so far that they couldn't see the other side of it from where they stood. It had an oblong shape, and they were at one of the thinner ends. It appeared to be in a divot of sorts, surrounded on all sides by rock walls rising an unknown distance above the surface of the water. In four different places, large rocks protruded far above the lake, with wide waterfalls cascading down into the lake. The roaring sound of water crashing into water was the first thing Team Fate detected when they were getting their bearings.
"I don't understand," Zero said, squinting at the far side of the lake. The other two were in too much awe to fully comprehend what he said. "This is beautiful and all but there's nothing special here."
The human began walking across the surface of the water. He was about twenty steps in when Glave looked over.
"Wo-Woah! What are you doing!?" The grovyle attracted Cerulean's attention with his question. She jerked back in surprise.
"What are you talking about?" He put his hands on his hips and tapped his foot impatiently.
Glave decided to test if the water was just shallow. He walked forward one step and immediately fell all the way into the lake.
He emerged from the water and gasped for breath.
"What the hell!?" He grabbed the edge of the land he was previously standing on and climbed out.
"Oh, that..." The human scratched the back of his neck. "Cerulean, you were never taught this?"
"Don't look at me. I wasn't 'taught' anything about walking on water." The lucario retorted in response.
"At any rate, you're supposed to be able to stimulate your aura and temporarily solidify the water under your feet." He said, turning back around. "Although this could be trouble if both of you can't go further."
He turned and started walking back to them.
"I'm not actually stimulating my aura. If you really wanna know, I'm using protect under my feet and just walking on the barriers." He told them. They looked at his feet and saw that there was a barrier present every time he lifted his foot. "I wanted to avoid doing this, especially before we've even started fighting, but it doesn't look like this place is even a..." He trailed off.
"Zero?" Glave asked.
"Did you hear a splash?" The human looked over his shoulder.
"Roaring waterfalls, your loud mouth, stepping on literal protects, and you wanna know if we heard a splash?" The lucario teased the leader of their team.
"As I was saying, I didn't want to do this," he said as stepped back onto land, "but I don't have time to figure out how to get Glave over the water, or teach you how to walk on it."
The human crouched with one knee to the ground and put his hand on the surface of the water with a flat palm.
"This water... It isn't very dense." The human frowned.
"Oh, now you're gonna say it must have the same back story as you, right?" Cerulean smirked while Glave suppressed a smile.
"There are barely any minerals in here. Electricity conducts poorly. But if this lake is being supplied by those waterfalls, then how could there be such a lack of them?"
[Someone is maintaining this lake.]
The thought crossed Zero and Glave's minds at the same time.
"Zero-"
"I know. Which means something important must be here." He smiled. Cerulean and Glave got closer to him. The rush of exploration filled the other two, but the comfort of familiarity set into the human.
Zero used stone edge!
A large chunk of earth in the shape of a rod began to rise out of the ground. It kept going higher and higher, accompanied by the sound of tearing roots. It finally separated from the ground at about 40 feet tall.
"Don't fall in that hole. You'll probably die." Zero remarked, referencing the place he took earth from.
Glave and Cerulean were stunned into silence. He'd just lifted an enormous rock out of the ground like it was nothing. It floated in the air, waiting for his command. A sphere girding the pattern of the move protect appeared around the bottom end of it. The enormous earth rod slowly floated over toward the middle of the lake. Finally, it began to sink into the water. Large ripples in the water reached Team Fate's end of the lake from the disturbance.
"What's the protect for?" Cerulean asked as the rod sank lower and lower into the lake.
"When this reaches the bottom, assuming it's large enough, I'm going to release the move."
As he finished speaking, the strip of earth shuddered and wouldn't sink anymore. About three feet of it was still visible.
"Here comes the hard part..." The human muttered. He released the barrier at the bottom. "Alright, the protect should be gone. But I didn't wholly plan this part."
Using stone edge again, four large boulders erupted out of the sides of the rock walls that spanned into the sky around them. They floated in the air over to where the rod was still visible. Protect spheres enveloped Glave and Cerulean.
"Zero?" Glave asked.
The four stones pelted the water from their positions in the air in a fraction of a second. Water splashed and shot up, while the human began pulling the enormous rod out as fast as he could. The water from the rocks' assault sent waves over to Team Fate. The human jumped on top of Cerulean's protect sphere to avoid most of it.
Almost a minute later, the water calmed and he let the protects go away.
"Seriously, why do you have to keep us in the dark with stuff like that? What was even your plan?" Cerulean kicked the water that embodied a puddle covering their platform.
"That's..." Glave was looking into the sky, where the earth rod was being suspended in the air. He and Zero nodded at each other.
"If someone was maintaining this place for a personal reason, particularly a body of water as large as this, it must mean they stay here frequently. But I didn't see any Pokémon on the surface of the lake, and I could only think of one other place for them to be." The human was eyeing the bottom of the rod, same as Glave.
"I still don't get it. What are you two looking at?" The lucario questioned them.
"The bottom of the stone edge isn't wet," Glave said. "He kept the protect while he sunk it into the lake before he released it. For the bottom to not be wet, it means that there's dry space under the lake."
"Really? How did you figure that out!?" Cerulean pouted at Glave.
It was clear to the other two that life in Advent Town for a month had sculpted her personality into a more sociable one.
"But the four rocks you slammed down?" Glave asked Zero.
"If I just released the protect and rose the rod, it would've gotten wet on the way up. I needed to displace the water while I pulled it back." He moved his hand and the large chunk of earth drifted through the air until it was above the hole it had come from. Zero dropped it in, fitting it perfectly aside from the ring of what appeared to be nothingness around it.
"So how do we get down there?" Cerulean asked. "Oh, now you're gonna use more rock stuff and have it hollow this time so we can just jump down it!"
"And shatter our ankles when we land?" Glave asked her with a skeptical look.
"You guys shoot down everything..."
"Displacing this much water would put unnecessary strain on my mods. I can only freeze the surface, and to evaporate the whole thing is out of the question. Any suggestions?" Zero asked, wearing a thinking face.
"The land around here isn't overly fertile, so this is kind of a long shot, but you can surround us all with protect and use a vine or something to knock us down until we get there. Then again, we don't know what's suspending the water at the bottom..." Glave stated.
"I think that's a good start. But whoever lives here... they have to get down there too. So how do they do it?" Zero looked around, taking in the entire surrounding environment. Something finally caught his attention. "This water lacks the minerals that should be present in a lake like this... If those waterfalls aren't providing them, it means they were constructed not to. I wonder what other purpose they serve."
Glave and Cerulean could only watch as he disappeared from in front of them and reappeared on one of the rocks high in the air, not quite where the water was falling from it. They could barely see what he was doing, but a stone came floating out of the wall under the human and stopped a short way ahead of the end of the overhanging rock.
Zero took a deep breath and looked down at the water. He wasn't afraid of heights; he could either teleport and negate the force of gravity or he could just fly if he really wanted, although it was a mentally exhausting process for someone who wasn't anatomically designed to do so. He looked at where the stone hung above the spot he was about to be. He knelt and took a running position.
Glave watched as his team leader bolted forward and leaped off the rock. He was forced to squint when the sun's light was refracted, signifying some sort of barrier had been conjured. The stone above the human slammed down, emitting a loud crack when it made contact with the shield the human was in. The force sent it crashing into the center of the lake, a large spray of water rising over the waterfalls' starting heights.
"Uh oh-" Glave backed up when he noticed the waves approaching them. He and Cerulean shared a concerned glance. They heard a gasp.
"I got it!"
Their surroundings changed just before the waves hit them.
Glave looked to see a soaked Zero. His hand was on the grovyle's shoulder and Cerulean's waist. The landscape was drastically different than anything the three had ever seen.
"I've been here before. Not here, but to the lake." Zero said as he stood. "I never would've guessed it held this. Neither did the others though, so I guess I can't take too much blame."
"The others?" Glave asked. "You came here with Team Luck?" He sounded remorseful.
"We had some relaxation time now and then. Once upon a time." The human gave his grassy companion a soft smile before he took the lead.
The environment now consisted of blue stone all around. There was water suspended above their heads with no visible inhibitor to stop it. On the floor and running up the walls were turquoise substances streaking all around and emitting light.
"The ground here is sharp... I wear shoes so I'll be fine, but what about you two?"
"We're Pokémon. We're designed to walk on rough terrain." Cerulean called from behind him as they all walked through an opening that led down.
They never got to a "room" per se. It appeared to just be a cave constructed of an unidentified raw blue stone and whatever the substance providing the lighting was. Zero frowned.
"Cerulean. Give me an escape orb."
Glave and Cerulean tensed up at the command. Once she got past her initial reaction, the lucario took out an escape orb and handed it to the leader.
"Be careful when you handle these. Squeezing them would bring us back to Advent Town no matter where we are. But it's not glowing... This place doesn't have mystery dungeon energy. If that's the case then what's down here?" Zero looked at the others for ideas, which was a first for them aside from when he asked about getting down there in the first place.
Cerulean took the escape orb and replaced it in the treasure box when he held it out.
"I guess we keep going. This might lead to a dungeon, and it's a wild discovery regardless." Glave told him.
They resumed at a careful pace. The ceiling was roughly a foot or two over Zero's head; it consistently fluctuated with the jutting roof.
Eventually, they came to a dead end. Sitting on an altar in front of it was an old, faded chest. It was a vivid red at some point in time. Zero motioned to Glave.
The grovyle called forth a vine that prodded at the notch on the lid and opened it from a distance. Gold in various shapes and sizes, ranging from coins to rougher polygons, sat in the container up to just over a quarter of its depth. Cerulean had the first reaction.
"Wow! This is a huge..." She noticed that the others weren't rejoicing. "I sure hope you guys' patience rubs off on me because I'm sick of you making me feel stupid."
"Then stop acting it," the two quipped back simultaneously.
"Still, should we go for it?" Glave asked Zero cautiously.
"Maybe, but only on the way back if at all."
"The way back?" Cerulean asked. When she saw Glave looked curious as well she continued. "This... is a dead-end, Zero. There's not exactly anywhere to go except back."
The human looked up. The wall behind the chest that barred further progression was different from the rest of the cave. The turquoise lighting that lined the floor and walls was the material that composed it. The entire structure before them shone with brilliant light blue light. It had bothered Zero when he first saw it, but now that they'd found what they had it bugged him some more.
"A Pokémon goes to the trouble to construct this entire place. Why?" Zero asked them.
"To keep their treasure here?" Cerulean asked. Glave remained silent.
"This is hardly 'treasure.' You could just bury this. So why make this place?"
"Well..." Glave spoke carefully, "you could either go with Cerulean's theory and just assume that it's a water-type Pokémon's personal safe and they can't go on the ground so they had to make it here-"
"How could they construct this thing without being able to interact with the ground to a large extent?"
"Or," Glave continued undisturbed, "you can assume this is just bait and this is really a place to live."
Team Fate was silent.
"Alright... But where is that Pokémon and where would they 'live' down here?" Cerulean asked as she looked around at the narrow corridor.
"I'm going to do something. If it works, then we need to get out of here. I'll only have a hunch and no time to get away if I'm right." Zero waved his hand and Glave moved the chest away from the altar.
Zero took the chest's place and looked at the wall that was shining, not for the world to see, but hidden within it. The color was too familiar to the human and he didn't want it to be.
"Uh, Cerulean, can you make a sharp bone rush?" Zero asked her over his shoulder.
"Sure thing?" The lucario constructed an energy bone. One end of it looked like a normal bone and the other end came to a pointed edge.
The leader of Team Fate took the bone from her paws and cut his arm. Glave and Cerulean could only be concerned.
Taking his other hand, Zero collected some blood on his index finger. The liquid had a dim glow to it, a soft red almost undetectable when contrasted by the light blue that permeated the area. He held out his finger and pressed it against the glowing wall. When he removed it, there was a hole in its place. That hole grew larger and larger, the blue substance disintegrating into nothingness as it spread.
"This is bad-" Zero was going to tell them to get out of there, but he hadn't seen anything yet. He didn't know if he was right.
Cerulean's body locked up when a screeching cry filled the entirety of the space they were in.
[Shit!] Zero backed up a step. He was right.
Bounding steps could be heard from where they stood. The human touched both of his friends and got ready to teleport.
[Are you sure?] The question filled his head. [You've wanted this for so long... It's only fair. RIGHT?] His arms went limp and his hands slipped off his companions.
"Z-Zero!?" Glave asked his teacher and partner. This wasn't something he'd ever seen before.
"We should at least apologize for the disturbance." The human looked at the entrance that had revealed itself. His voice was blank, similar to when he'd first arrived in Advent Town, but lacking the emotion and formality.
Zero started walking forward to meet the footsteps that could be heard. Glave followed him fearlessly, backed up by a reluctant lucario.
[Those sounds are getting quieter. Is it running away?"] What started as a genuine question sparked anger in Zero. Out of nowhere, his brisk walk became a sprint. The others failed to keep up, but knew where he was going since there was only one way.
Finally, their small corridor expanded into a large open room. Spiraling out from the center of the floor was the same lighting that had filled the cave previously. It reached the wall and ran up, collecting into the same spiral shape on the dome ceiling.
Standing in the back of the room, growling with pure malicious intent was a four-legged quadraped Pokémon with blue fur, a long purple streak of hair flowing in the air over its back, and two ribbons coming from its rear.
"YOU!" It roared. "You're still alive!? You pesky, insufferable, gratuitous THING!" It growled and rose its maw to the air and let out a howl.
"Suicune." Zero said. His head was cocked to one side slightly.
"Don't speak my name, filth!" Its ribbons began glowing. Zero knew what they were capable of.
Zero jumped, seemingly floating in the air, and spun around, kicking Cerulean just under her chipped chest spike. She stumbled back until she was against the wall. A vine flung Glave to land on her. Protect covered the section of wall they were against, not giving them much freedom, but still provided sight and protection.
"Zero! What the hell?" Glave called out.
"Stay in there. It's been made clear to me that I can't protect the ones I love from this atrocity."
"You would DARE!" It howled again. "I don't wish to hear you speaking about loved ones! Any Pokémon that could mutually love the likes of you is worthless scum that deserved to get killed." Suicune bared its fangs.
Zero set his jaw. Glave hadn't detected his peculiar behavior in time. The grovyle was just stuck in his tight space with the lucario, thinking about Zero's teachings of not letting emotion act on a mission. That, and he was fighting the anger he felt from Suicune's own words. This was only his second experience seeing a legendary, but his opinion of them as a whole had severely deteriorated.
"Say what you want, but this scum over here never got controlled by some piss-poor aura." The human pointed at the beast across the room. "Unlike you, your highness."
Red static began bouncing across the human's body.
"Now I have to endure a HUMAN and his damn prattling! Your kind committed so many atrocious acts! Had it not been for your 'companions,' you wouldn't be standing today!" Twin beams fired off Suicune's ribbons. But Zero wasn't ready for the fight to start. He knocked them aside with his bare hands, both of them freezing the walls they hit.
"And what of your companion? I mean, you can't call what we had a fair one-on-one."
"No one-on-one between me and some abomination like you could ever be fair. Today will be the day that humankind goes extinct!" Suicune pounced, clearing half the distance between them, and kept bounding forward.
The water beast charged its ribbons with aurora beams and fired as it got closer. They slammed into a small protect barrier in front of Zero's chest.
"It all adds up in hindsight. An enormous lake like this already told me a powerful water-type resided here." The human remarked.
Suicune leaped back, firing an ice beam at him. Zero used stone edge, raising a chunk of the ground to block the ice. It fell to the ground looking like an alolan sandslash.
"Kyogre lives in the ocean. I've already found Articuno's residence, and I don't think it would want to live here anyway."
Hydro pump came rushing at Zero. He stepped to the side and held out his hand. Red electricity bounced down his arm and touched the water attack. The water flow stopped immediately and Suicune's sputtering could be heard all around the room.
"The lighting. How long did that take? It's your blood, right? Legendary blood is seldom red, and I've seen yours before. I knew it looked familiar. Having been said, I assume that should something happen to you while you're in here, there would need to be a way for someone to get in. Having been said you're one of the shitty, arrogant legendary Pokémon, so naturally you'd want them to sacrifice the honor of their blood just to come in. Guess you didn't know that my blood counts as legendary."
A growl became a howl and the howl became a roar. Twin ice beams fired and spun around a hydro cannon. The distance between the attack and the human was too small to be measured when he disappeared.
Zero put his hand on Suicune's side. The attack stopped once more, and it jerked back and looked at him. A slice tore open a gash on the top of Suicune's maw. The beast slid back from an unseen force. Before it was a human holding a strange material in the shape of a blade. The turquoise blood on the edge of it seeped into the blade. Several of the colored quadrilaterals that composed the Mangekyo shifted from their purplish-red or blues into a deep gold.
"I'm gonna be honest with you. If you get attacked this easily then you don't stand a chance. Every drop of blood that touches this blade brings you closer to a loss in more ways than one."
"Stop TALKING! Why the hell must this world be plagued with your very existence! That entire town shouldn't be around if a human is the reason it stands!"
"I'm so much stronger than you," Zero said, walking toward Suicune at a steady pace with the Mangekyo in his right hand. The water beast continuously jumped back. "Stop." He swung the Mangekyo and hit the Pokémon with air cutter. "Talking." Suicune was lifted into the air with a pink light around it. It looked around in a panic. "Trash." A stone flung itself out of the ground and impaled Suicune's belly. "About." He disconnected his psycic powers and his enemy fall to the ground. "My." He walked to Suicune, who was struggling to stand and knelt. "Town." Static jumped down the human's shoulder to the puddle of blood under the beast. The liquid lit up and the room was pierced with a yell from Suicune.
"Now then," Zero placed his hand on the cut on Suicune's maw. A green light radiated from Suicune's entire body. White particles departed from the water legend's wounds, sealing them shut.
Zero jumped to the opposite side of the room, mirroring the position of his adversary. He held his blade out slightly to the side. His left arm was in a position that showed he would be fine striking with it too. Strange rainbow-colored energy flowed around it. He looked at Suicune with a scowl.
Suicune returned the look with far more visible rage. The atrocity it would be forced to fight had already shown that it was capable of handling itself, but it had simultaneously humiliated the Pokémon bearing the title of legendary.
"If you're still up for a battle, your highness," Zero started through gritted teeth, "then we can settle this."
Suicune ran at Zero. The human jumped high into the air and looked down at his enemy skidding to a stop to look up at him. It turned and bolted to the opposite side of the room. When it stopped, Suicune fired hydro pump, nailing the middle of the room. It continued the attack until Zero landed, a notable splash occurring when he did.
The human looked at his feet to see that the water was spreading across the floor. He looked back at the room's entrance. The corridor leading to this room was at an upward angle, meaning there was no hope for the water to drain out.
[It's trying to restrict my movement.] Zero turned to face the Pokémon. A look of surprise was the last visible expression he wore before getting slammed with the same hydro pump being used to fill the room.
He flew back from the force and used protect to sever the flow. It was no good for getting rid of the force that the impact had transferred to him though, and he slammed the wall behind him. He sighed in pain and relief that nothing vital was damaged.
[We're underground, and above that is water. I'm not getting any solar attacks off down here.] Zero eyed the protect that was still blocking the water attack. He'd need to let it go soon.
Relinquishing the barrier, the water beam continued through the air towards its target. Zero attempted to jump out of the way, but the water was to his ankles and his movement was already being limited. He didn't take the full hit, but the impact of hydro pump hitting the wall beside him knocked him away.
His landing was about as smooth as the rest of the process. He tried landing normally but was caught off guard when he felt the water almost a foot above where he expected the ground to be. He stumbled and raised his eyes to see Suicune running at him gracefully. The beast was running on the surface of the water, a contrast to the human needing to trudge through it.
A blue light burst forth from Suicune's mouth while its ribbons glowed a green with various other colors in the mix. Ice beam was fired from its mouth; Suicune was attempting to freeze him in place.
"Tsk-" Zero swung his arm and pointed his Mangekyo at the oncoming attack. It split the beam in half, forging large ice spikes that faced away from him. Aurora beam was fired off both of the legendary's ribbons. "C'mon- why was that green!?"
Zero jumped with just enough force to break the surface of the water and placed protect shields under his feet. He hopped again, this time propelling himself above Suicune. He had been content to take a signal beam, which was what he thought Suicune had charged in its ribbons. Needless to say, he didn't have the same tolerance for aurora beam.
Suicune jerked its head toward the sky and looked directly at its despicable enemy's midsection. In no time scald was rushing out of its mouth.
Zero put his hands in front of his chest and opened his mouth. A large fireball burst into existence in front of him, bathing the room in a golden light that mingled with the light blue tint that already permeated the room. He fired the fusion flare at his adversary.
The Pokémon's attack was just about to hit the ball when the already hot water vanished into steam. Suicune's eyes widened as the fireball engulfed it and grew wider before exploding. Zero was knocked away by his own attack's force, hovering at the peak of his ascent near the ceiling before falling. He grabbed a protect barrier that he generated in the air before dropping the rest of the distance, spawning two more to stand on so he wouldn't fall in the hot water.
The smoke and steam around the collision between attack and target spread throughout the room from the impact point before dissipating. Suicune was slightly crouched and panting. It still stood atop the water on the floor, but there was no way it didn't feel its heat.
Neither of them wasted time. Suicune pounced a leap that cleared the distance between adversaries in one move. The human's unoccupied hand spread and a green ball spawned. The quadraped opened its mouth wide to bite down on its target. Just before making contact, it noticed a crackling sound from the hand waiting to strike.
At the last possible moment, Zero teleported behind Suicune. The energy ball vanished, revealing a lightning-charged fist. He cocked his arm back and flung it forward, preparing to slam his enemy. The last thing he expected was having two powerful legs kick him, one grazing his side and the other nailing his bottom rib. He flew back and hit the ground hard on his rear, the water being the only thing to slow his movement.
Zero gasped for air, having it almost knocked out of him while using recover. The attack had force enough to end a normal human, and there wasn't much to suggest that his body was anatomically different in durability from the rest of his species. In short, he could never be too careful.
Suicune glared at him, watching him closely as he stood. Several lights sparkled around him and grew larger to take the form of leaves, sharp and spinning in the air. They flew at Suicune when Zero's gaze landed on it. The beast leaped out of the way, but they turned sharply and followed it while it ran around on the surface of the water. Finally, it fired an ice beam over its shoulder in short bursts to knock the projectiles out of the air.
It was forcefully stopped in its tracks by a hand on its chest. Spherical green lights were ripped out of Suicune's body, entering Zero after they were set free. The Pokémon was sent backward by mach punch when giga drain was complete. The two glared at each other, not concealing a drop of malice.
Water droplets rose from the soaked floor while three tendrils came from the same source and began spiraling around Suicune.
[Life dew and aqua ring.] Zero shifted his feet. [If it keeps healing and I drain its health then this won't end.]
Zero raised his free hand and slammed it into the water that he stood on. Powerful, thick bands of electricity surged from him. Several of them didn't come two feet off the surface before slamming back into the water. The rest targeted Suicune and its moves.
Suicune shook its head and lifted it, crying out to its water. A wall of it rose in front of the beast. The lightning rammed the aquatic wall, creating a beautifully shimmering surface.
The human stood and looked at the target of his attack. His heart sank.
"Wha...?" He asked weakly, panting slightly after the exertion.
[Its water lacks the minerals that conduct electricity.] Zero realized his mistake too late.
A blue beam shot out of the water wall. He sloppily used protect, but the shield was slightly angled and the ice beam scraped against it before redirecting next to his foot.
"I don't care if you use every electric and grass move in existence," Suicune growled at him. "I am a legendary Pokémon, a title bestowed upon me by the Most High, for a reason! It is clear to me that I've been underestimated. Last time it was four against two and there were three there that were super effective to me and you only won on a fluke."
Zero didn't respond. He knew it was true. He hadn't been on a serious mission in over four years and the result was he'd become complacent. There wasn't a single challenge in his life during the gap between rescue teams.
"How can you say that?" He asked. From inside the barrier that persisted, Glave perked up. He'd never heard so much emotion in Zero's voice. "Can you not see you were wrong!?" He demanded. "My comrades-"
"Enough of this! Have you any idea how much shame I've felt since that day!? To have been disgraced in a battle against a collage of normal Pokémon. The eon twins aren't meant for the battlefield, and yet you drug a Latias along on your joyride. You should feel even more shame than me!"
It was clear. They couldn't agree, and that was just reality. The battle had to end one way or another.
"I see." Zero was looking down. "But you have to understand," his words were a dam, containing a flood of emotion that had been restricted for years.
"Zero!" Glave shouted, trying to reach his teacher and partner. One of Zero's primary teachings was to keep emotions out of a mission. "Come on!"
Suicune ran forward, water splashing in its tracks. The water legend's body shone a brilliant white light.
"The suffering I've felt from that day..." The human looked up sharply, a jerky motion that lifted the tips of his hair. His eyes were wide. "Grandly surpasses YOURS!"
Red static rippled across his irises. He vanished, blurry after-images distorting briefly in his place before fizzling out. Zero reappeared over Suicune's back. He slammed his heel down on his opponent's back. The light from its body went out immediately, signifying its move failed. Cracks spread from the ground under its impact point.
There was a series of popping sounds and Zero appeared flying backward. He skipped like a stone when his feet met the now shallow water. He proceeded to skid away from Suicune, whose body had opened with four cuts allowing a light blue liquid to fly high in the air before staining the water.
Suicune stood as though it wasn't injured and jumped away, stumbling when it landed. Zero took a step forward and vanished just before his foot fell all the way. He reappeared in the spot his adversary had just left. He stabbed his Mangekyo into the ground, an easy feat since it'd been cracked already. Suicune watched carefully.
The colored water in that area started to pool around the blade. He took his hand off the sword and faced the Pokémon. The color from the water began to drain. The Mangekyo's colors began changing. More of its pattern began shifting into pure gold.
A splash was the forewarning that Suicune moved. It'd jumped high into the air, preparing to knock the sword away from the blood-tainted water. Zero's words detailing the Pokémon's loss should his sword meet enough of its blood had resurfaced in the legendary's mind.
It never made it to the sword, instead getting knocked into the ceiling from a hyper beam that'd sprung forth from Zero's mouth. Suicune landed and noticed a bright light under it. It was given a split-second to notice the blade was unattended before its underside was slammed with giga impact. The collision sent it into the air once more.
Zero teleported above his foe. His hands were clasped together high over his head. There was a rainbow-colored fiery aura burning around them.
"That's-" Cerulean began.
He slammed the attack into the bottom of the blue diamond on Suicune's head. It gave an unceremonious yelp as it crashed headfirst into the floor. It fell onto its back and rolled to its side, soon after attempting to stand. It made it onto its feet, appearing more dazed than hurt. It opened its mouth and stiffened up.
"Whaddya know!?" Zero laughed. It wasn't a crazy villainous laugh. It was the laugh that a man let out when his best friend told him the best joke he'd be hearing that day. And it bothered Glave that it would be used in this situation. "You got paralyzed! That's so perfect. I can wrap things up SO much easier."
The aura-packed attack he'd used earlier was just an unsophisticated force palm. By chance, it'd done its secondary use of paralyzing the target.
Zero snapped and the ground shook for a moment before an enormous sharp rock impaled Suicune from below. It pierced his belly but not deeply. It instantly sank back into the ground. All Suicune could do was glare in pain at Zero. Or it was until a brilliant golden light spilled out from behind him, turning him into a silhouette until the beast's eyes adjusted.
Suicune watched as Zero walked over and picked up the source of the light that flooded the room. The Mangekyo was entirely gold, with none of its pink, blue, or any other colored shapes remaining.
"I guess I gotta apologize now. I wouldn't have beat you up this much if I knew about that," Zero motioned to the ground. The turquoise lighting that'd filled the cave had already been confirmed by Zero to be Suicune's blood. The bright veins were all over the ground and walls. Several of them had ruptured during the battle and began spilling their contents into the water. His Mangekyo had taken advantage of that as it drained the blood from the water.
"This is it Suicune. Got anything left to say to me?" He motioned to his partners and a second barrier formed over the first one, making it hard to see.
"I hate you." Suicune and Zero said it at the same time. Suicune's expression turned into a stricken one, while Zero's became serious.
"I know you do." The human said. He started walking forward. "I hate you so much it isn't funny. At the very core of all my grief, I see you. I know it isn't the case, but I can't help it. I know of your healing prowess. You could bring a Pokémon back from the brink of death like it was nothing. But that day you put someone precious to me on that brink and left him there."
Suicune finally wore a look that wasn't pure anger or malice. It was closer to a look of thought or questioning than remorse.
"Your sword." Suicune struggled to get the words out. Its paralysis had surged when it tried to speak.
"Yeah. I figured legendaries should recognize it. I got it from Palkia and Dialga. I'm aware that legendaries often do each other favors, quite contrary to the way humans believed they hated each other. Palkia shifted the rules of reality here, didn't it? That's why the water from the lake is suspended over the entrance of this place without falling as it should and flooding it."
Suicune said nothing. Zero nodded at its silence.
"Goodbye, Suicune. I hope neither of us is ever cursed enough to gaze at each other again." He told it.
Static cackled from his body. Tendrils of electricity flowed into his glowing blade. Zero held it out and pointed the sword at Suicune. Lightning charged it for what felt like a long time. Finally, the blade shattered. Countless pure golden quadrilaterals spilled out, scattering all around Suicune. It looked around nervously; it knew better than to think a blade forged by two Pokémon viewed as gods was just for show.
The handle from the sword was the only piece that remained intact and in Zero's clutches. He held it up and focused. He mustered the strength to use the move he wanted and let it loose into the apparatus.
"Perfect Mangekyo: Infinite Bolt Strike."
The last thing Suicune saw was a spherical barrier raising from the ground to cover the human it had lost against.
Each golden shard glowed either blue or red. A thick lightning bolt boomed from each of them in their respective color, often meeting in the air and growing larger. Each and every last one of them hit the same thing: Suicune. The sound was awful; it was like being at the epicenter of hundreds of thousands of lightning strikes, simply because that's exactly what it was. There wasn't time for the Pokémon to let out a cry between the start and the finish of the attack.
The three protect barriers in the room began dissolving. Glave and Cerulean were finally free. They rushed forward, the lucario catching Zero as he fell.
"Take me... to her." The two Pokémon looked at each other skeptically, figuring he must have meant Suicune. They walked him over carefully.
The legendary beast trio member, resembling and embodying water, lied on the ground. There were large black spots where its fur had been burned and its long purple hair had been singed off at about half its length. Its ribbons were nowhere to be seen.
Zero got on his hands and knees and panted for a short time. He straightened up and put his hands on Suicune's shoulder. Green light covered the spot. Shortly after, white particles fluttered off of Suicune's body. At first, it was just from his hands, but as time went on they came from open wounds and the burned fur. As he was healing the barely living Pokémon, his arm split open. A spray of blood flew up and fell, staining his former foe's fur. The flow of blood went down in pressure, but it continued to trail down his arm as he resumed his healing process.
"Zero, that's enough." Cerulean put a paw on his shoulder.
"It should live now..." Glave told his leader. The battle they'd witnessed was ridiculous. His dad... knew this human? Could fight with him? There were a million questions in the grovyle's head, but Zero was in no condition to answer them.
The human stood on shaky knees and looked at his companions. They were looking at his arm with concern.
"It's... not the first time. I'll be ok. You'll see."
Team Fate was walking back to Advent Town. They didn't know how long it was supposed to take from Mystic Lake, but they knew the direction they needed to head. Zero was too worn out to teleport them. The sun was halfway under the horizon, not that the horizon could be seen through the trees.
"I think we need to sleep for the night." Glave made the suggestion. "Or maybe not the whole night, but you need to rest, Zero."
"That doesn't sound like a terrible idea, but..." Zero looked around. "I'm just not comfortable letting my guard down."
"Aren't you familiar with this area? You should know if we're near anything hostile." Cerulean was in the best condition out of all of them. She was naturally strong and a steel-type which gave her more general endurance. That didn't stop her from wanting to rest.
"We can take shifts." Glave offered.
"You're talking like I've never done this before." Zero sighed. "Sorry. Fine, we can take a break. I should be good to..." Zero bit his lip. He could feel the pressure of his bio mods like they were sealed in a vault and the lock was about to blast off. He'd overdone the hell out of his last fight and his restraints were tightened on the modifications made to his brain. In other words, when his primal instincts did take over, it was likely that he'd hurt whatever he went at it with. He eyed Cerulean's 'assets' longingly, but he didn't want her to be the one who had to take it, and he didn't particularly want Glave to see him in that state.
"Zero?"
The human shook his head and looked at Glave.
"My... I don't know when my mods are gonna trip. Cerulean, you need to get aw-"
"You can't just let them go now?" She asked him.
Glave blushed and Zero balled his fists.
"I've explained to the entire town how I do it with wilds. In the state that these things are in now, I can't tell how bad I would hurt you. I can't put any of my comrades through that." He shook his head and walked over to the nearest thick tree. Slouching down against it, he looked tiredly into the setting sun and sighed. "I don't like the way things are going."
"How so?" Glave sat with his back against a more narrow tree facing Zero.
"What will the Mayor think about our only two missions resulting in confrontations with legendary Pokémon? It'll paint a bad picture."
"But we were told to come here. Surely that will mean something." Cerulean added.
"I don't know about that. It could look like I arranged for Suicune to show up. It was chance that I figured out the secret to that lake. No one in town will have proof of that."
"Worrying about it now won't do us any good. We need to rest now." Glave closed his eyes.
In a couple of hours, Zero was the only one awake. Cerulean was snoring and Glave's chest was barely moving. The human's focus was on the tips of his hair edging into his vision as they swayed in the wind. He needed to focus on something. He didn't know what would happen if he let any control slip.
Crunching leaves caught his attention. The place they were resting was in a forest and there was no particular path, just scattered wilderness. Two absols' heads poked out from behind a tree a short distance away. Zero was prepared to stop them if they came for food, but as they approached he noticed one of the absols had a long member hanging between his legs. He walked behind the other, gaze fixed on its rear.
Zero shut his eyes enough to where he could see but they had no inclination that he was conscious. The absol with a determined gender perked up and let out an excited noise, quickly getting cut off by the other. He was staring at Cerulean's exposed private spot. Or more accurately, a public spot at that time.
The other dog Pokémon yipped at the 'ready' one. It lowered its head and moved to a spot that put him over Cerulean's lap. He maneuvered his legs so that they wouldn't disturb or alert her. He sniffed at her nether region. It was one smell at first, but after that, he put his nose almost against it and proceeded to increase the intensity. He looked like he was in anguish holding back from lapping at the slit.
[I get that feeling...] Zero allowed the perverse thought to slip into his mind. He didn't know if that was the mods or if he truly felt that way. He averted his eyes from one sight to another, seeing the other absol between Glave's legs. All three members of Team Fate had their backs against a tree, which gave easy access to their genitals, minus Zero who was fully clothed.
From the angle the absol was at now, its vulva was open to Zero. He peered past that and focused on where her mouth was: Glave's sheath. The human suppressed a laugh; if Glave woke up there was no telling what kind of reaction the shy Pokémon would have.
Disregarding the apparent warning she'd given her partner, the female absol began licking Glave's crotch.
[Risky play. What are you two hoping to accomplish?] Zero wasn't concealing his eyes anymore. His back was straight and he was looking plainly at the both of them.
The girl poked the tip of her tongue into the grovyle's sheath, desperately attempting to get his blade to show itself.
[Why us though?] Zero furrowed his brow. [That absol looks about my length, but a tad thicker than me. She should know that a grovyle won't have as fulfilling a length as that. And what does he intend to get out of Cerulean? She's fighting and steel-type, if she wakes up then they don't stand a chance.]
Glave's tip prodded the absol's mouth. Zero's attention was returned to the actions of the two wild Pokémon by the excited sound that escaped her lips. The two absols both tenses up and looked at their targets nervously. When they got no response, the female wrapped her lips around Glave's tip and sucked as though it was trying to pull the rest of it out.
Seemingly tired of not having any pleasure on the receiving end, the male grew impatient and left the lucario it was enjoying the scent of. He mounted his companion, who jerked from the startling motion. She kicked him off and glared at him. That was when she noticed Zero.
She yelped and jumped back in surprise and the other followed suit. The human had returned himself to his pretend-sleeping image, so they didn't know he was awake. The mates shared a fearful look before the female approached him. The guy stayed near her rear.
Zero watched as she sniffed at his crotch in confusion. She said something to the other, but Zero couldn't understand it.
[I see... You two can communicate, but you don't speak like civilized Pokémon. Means you're wild enough for me.] He held back a grin.
The absol in front of him flinched and looked back; her accomplice was licking at her behind based on the sound coming from it. She shook her head and looked back at Zero, intently staring at his face. When she was sure that he didn't react, she lowered her head to the end of his shorts. She sniffed at that spot, getting a stronger scent from the opening. Getting excited, she poked her nose against the entrance, trying to discern how she could get to the treasure she was smelling.
"Why don't I help you with that!?" Zero lurched forward, grabbing the male absol's horn over the other one, not grabbing the female since they were already making physical contact. He teleported them out of his teammates' earshot.
The move snapped something in the human's mind. He fell on top of the girl and bounced off, landing and sliding back on all fours, his knees just off the ground. The male leaped back and growled at him, while the female tried to run. Zero closed the distance between him and his prey with one jump, landing on the female absol and rolling over her.
When the motion stopped, she was on top of him with her back against his chest and stomach. He had her front legs in his hands and the edge of her horn in his mouth, pinned between his teeth. The male growled for a short time before Zero used wrapped his legs around the absol's hind ones. He looked up curiously at the human. Zero wore a devious, lustful gaze that told the absol what to do without words.
Before she knew it, the female was at two males' mercy. Zero's clothes were teleported into a pile, startling the Pokémon when they heard them fall onto the ground. Normally, he didn't opt to remove his shirt, but absol fur, or at least this one's, was incredibly soft and he wanted to feel it as best he could.
The girl looked down and whimpered at the sight of the human's member poking into view between her legs. She could feel it resting against an entrance she'd never used before. Meanwhile, her mate climbed on top of the two. Having her rest on top of the pair's surprise guest put her pussy at an almost perfect height for getting where he wanted to be. Zero shifted his body, moving his reproductive organ out of the way of the other male's.
The dominant absol thrust his cock far into his target. He filled her cunt perfectly, being as they were the same species. Grunting, he moved vigorously, pumping himself in and out, bringing his penis out of her to the tip before putting the whole thing back in her.
Zero waited patiently. The absol getting ravaged on top of him would need something to help her through the experience, and he had an idea of what that would be. Whether it was intended or if the powerful human was just naturally smart, his bio mods always appeared to utilize his intelligence, providing him with the best experience he wanted, rather than the most likely to cause reproduction.
He frowned. Why was that? The scientists didn't give a damn if he was happy, so long as he was content to not obliterate them. And they only cared about results, so why would they design something that didn't prioritize them?
A wet feeling near the base of his cock pulled his attention from his thoughts. The two dark-types were in pure bliss, and that was evident from the juices flowing down from her entrance. Zero manipulated his body to rub his member against her unoccupied hole, smothering the aforementioned liquids against it.
The girl in the group gasped and looked at him with worry. The expression was laughable to Zero, she was afraid since she'd never done it before, which was fair given the process's intrinsic pain, but her mouth was open and she was panting while getting pushed up over and over.
Zero lifted her slightly into the air. He heard a grunt and there was an increase in speed of the thrusts against her. The slight elevation provided a grinding feeling to the male absol's cock, and he was for it. The human at the bottom of the threesome, or soon-to-be threesome, lined his tip up with her anus. She yelped at the forewarning of the intrusion.
He dropped her, a decision that became a mistake with mixed consequences. The human's dick got halfway in before bending from the force, friction, and lack of lubrication. He gasped and nearly lost his breath from the intensity of the pressure being applied to him. The male absol on top howled, his mate's vagina had constricted significantly when she was forcefully filled from behind.
While he wasn't excited to touch another male, Zero took one hand and rubbed her clit, making her tighten even more in both holes. He slid his hand around the cunny that was experiencing a beating from the large member in it, collecting her juices and rubbing them on his flesh rod. He reclaimed his grip on her front leg and pushed his pelvic region up.
"Ahh~" The human almost never let out a moan, but his freshly lubed penis hilting inside of his shared prey was beyond enlightening. He didn't NEED to move, either. He could feel the girth of the other male ravaging her insides through the thin tissues separating the two male organs. Even still, he chose to move and took his hands from gripping her legs to wrapping them around her chest just under them. Once secured, he began pounding her inexperienced entrance. The two he's in the group let out strange noises. It couldn't be determined from the outside, but her two filled holes were squeezing them like wet vice grips.
Squirming from the consistent filling and unfilling, the helpless female cried out in pain and pleasure. Most Pokémon never got to experience what she was. Both males bit different spots of her neck, Zero near her chin on the left and the male absol near her collar bone on the right.
Zero's cock was squeezed with unbearable force. If he had the willpower to think rationally, he'd debate whether he'd ever been in a tighter spot.
A bubbly wet sound came from where all the action was taking place and the absol's cock was sprayed with juice. Zero relished in the fresh source of lubrication, getting more and more of it by the second. After that, the slapping sounds from each of the absol's thrusts were louder and sounded wetter. Zero peered at the source of the noise and spotted a thick knot preparing to force itself into its designation.
The human rolled his tongue around in his mouth, preparing a liquidy substance. When it was ready, he stopped biting the absol's neck and pursed his lips, lightly spraying a pink mist into the air above them. It dispersed, but sweet scent took effect as intended. The human stopped moving and tightened his grip on his toy's chest in preparation for an increase in the other male's thrusting intensity. It came as planned, nearly pulling Zero's cock out of its current residence while the male absol elicited a muffled howl, gripping his mate's neck even harder.
The human watched through eyes that were blurred as a result of the sensations he was experiencing in such a short time. He watched with a strange excitement the pounding that was being delivered where all of their privates met. Seeing a thick absol knot pushing against its barrier until it popped in did it for the human. Both the mental excitement of the situation and the doubling of pressure on the base of his cock sent him to the edge.
Zero pulled mostly out of her butthole, getting the sensitive spot beneath his tip to the point where the absol's knot was bulging inside of the girl between them.
"Ga-Fuck~!" A static shockwave burst from the human's body as the first rope of his cum fired into her anus. Using it as a lubricant, Zero forced his cock to the base into her. The rearranged pressure alignment of the absol's anal cavity gave him a mosaic of pleasurable feelings that permeated his nervous system. Pushing into her asshole forced a small amount of cum to slip quickly out of the entrance and pooled on his pelvic region. He fired another shot of semen. The reproductive fluid shot out with higher pressure than normal from the squeezing on Zero's urethra.
Zero called out one more time as his balls tensed and fired the rest of their contents deep into the swollen hole. He thrust a few more times, but it was no good since his dick was already returning to a flaccid form.
Letting out a relieved sigh, the human looked into the night sky. He was tired after the excursion, and he had the weight of two absol on his chest and stomach. Not to mention, he was coated in three different entities cum. The thought of one being male was only excusable because it was excess pooling out of a female. All three of them were soaked with sweat, as was present by the matted fur on the two dog Pokémon.
A wave of exhaustion washed over Zero.
"I gotta get up and get dressed..." His eyelids doubled in weight. "But maybe... I can take a break first..." His head rolled and rested on the ground.
Glave woke up and squinted from the bright sun beaming down on him. He stood and stretched, yawning inaudibly with a wide mouth. Looking around, the grovyle remembered what happened the day before.
"Zero..." The grass type yawned again while scanning the area. He saw the human's resting spot unoccupied and Cerulean laying on the ground, not quite snoring but breathing slightly louder than normal. "Ceru- *yawn* Cerulean, are you awake?"
Glave approached her sleeping form and nudged her a few times before the lucario opened her eyes and flinched from the brightness.
"Damn- that's something," She placed her paw above her eyes and looked around. "What's up, Glave?"
"Did Zero say anything about heading out?"
The two of them recalled the state their leader had been in the previous day. Within moments the two had split up and were looking through the forest.
"Cerulean said his aura wasn't detectable, so he could be really far. Or he could still be asleep..." Glave was using vines to swing through trees. It was a method of travel that Zero had taught him for when he needed to get places quickly.
The Pokémon flew by a clearing and shot a vine behind him and jerked back. He didn't stick the landing perfectly, but he stumbled into the clearing and saw Zero.
"Oh." Glave looked around nervously. He didn't want to be seen eyeing the human in the state he was in. "Uh... Hey- uh, Zero?" He spoke quietly and shifted his weight uncomfortably when there wasn't a response. Finally, he summoned vines from the ground and poked the human's arm roughly a few times.
Zero's eyes opened. He sat up immediately, not yawning or performing any gestures that would suggest he was tired.
"Ngh, what?" He gripped the right side of his head, scrunching his hair slightly. "Geez, that doesn't feel great." The human stood, stumbling back slightly when he did. "Woah. Why am I naked?" He noticed Glave. "Shi- Wow, I didn't see you there." He chuckled awkwardly. "I wonder if this is what it feels like to be walked in on with morning wood." He laughed at the statement and headed over to the pile of clothes near him. It was true; he had an erection, something that never happened to him unless he was in direct contact with an opportunity for intercourse.
"There you are! Oh, Glave, I guess you woke him?" Cerulean slowed from a run to stand in the clearing. "Can't believe you found him fir- Woah!"
The lucario hit the ground on her back. She gasped when she felt action around her nether regions. Zero had leaped onto her and began assaulting her pussy with his tongue.
Glave stepped back with a dropped jaw. The grovyle was shocked at the sight. His first time with Cindy had been his only exposure to sexual activity.
Zero dug his tongue deep in Cerulean's entrance, only removing it to roll the tip of his tongue around her clit. She moaned and shrugged at Glave. "You~ ungh, don't need to~ ooh, be weirded out too much." She struggled to tell him between moans.
"Argh- I'm so sorry!" The leader of Team Fate fell on his ass after forcing himself off his teammate. "One orgasm was never enough for my restrained mods... You gotta get outta here for a little bit, I'll take care of the rest of it and catch up with you." He clasped his head between his hands.
"Oh, for crying out loud, just take it." Cerulean rolled her eyes and sat up. She crawled over to Zero, who scooted back for a second before she pushed his chest. His back fell to the ground, and he was about to get up to stop her when he felt lips around the head of his penis.
Gasping, he bucked his hips instinctively, hitting the teeth of the unprepared Pokémon. He growled and winced, but the pain was gone before it went anywhere. Even if it wasn't, the canine tongue snaking from his tip to the base of his cock more than made up for it. She took one of his balls into her mouth and played with them with her tongue. His cock rested on her face, a tantalizingly sexy image when the human looked down at her.
A short shout slipped through Zero's lips and he slammed his right fist into the ground next to him. A fissure cracked open the ground, spreading to a tree several meters away and causing it to fall away from them.
Glave flinched at the reminder of the other male inhabitant of the team's power.
She sucked his balls and pulled back, opening her mouth and releasing them with a 'plop' sound. The human grunted a sound that transitioned into a moan when she took his cock into her maw again, going down and taking the whole thing in like it was nothing. A small part of Zero's dick rested in Cerulean's throat. She mimicked a swallow, closing her windpipe around his tip. Static bounced around his hand.
Zero closed his eyes tight and reopened them. When he did, the use of the move teleport left him standing next to Cerulean, who was shocked at the disappearance of the male member filling her mouth. He gripped her shoulder and teleported once more. She looked around wildly before her back was forcefully pressed against a tree. She finally got her bearings and rolled her eyes, opening her mouth wide.
She closed her eyes and heard an excited noise from the male dominating her. He put his hand on the lucario's face and forced his cock balls-deep into her maw. He slid it in and out, ecstatic at the welcoming throat that repeatedly invited his reproductive organ.
"Tongue." He uttered between growls and grunts. She got the message, lifting her tongue, especially the tip. The added feeling of her wet, rough tongue against him as he thrust into her was unbearable. He angled his thrusts, pushing his cock down against her tongue. She wrapped her tongue around his dick. His response was to lower the distance of his thrusts, making them shorter and more impactful. She winced at every one, his torso region was pressing against her face with each.
She lifted her paws to squeeze his balls just in time to feel them tense up. A hard thrust reconfirmed the message, and she closed her mouth around his length.
Normally, several thick ropes of cum hit the back of her mouth. She opened her eyes and furrowed her brow. She waited for all of his reproductive juice to spill into her mouth to open it, letting him slowly pull his cock out. Cerulean touched her paw to her lips and pulled it away. She inspected the human's freshly deposited semen. She swallowed the rest before speaking.
"You came last night?"
Glave was looking at the ground. The sounds, the sight, the entire event that had taken place was too much. He had his back to a tree and his knees lifted, hugging the tops of them to cover his erection. He flinched in shock at Cerulean's question to Zero.
"Yeah," he responded. "Funny story, actually. Two absols, a male and his mate, approached us while you two were sleeping. The guy got a good whiff of you, but nothing more. Meanwhile, the female had more trouble holding back and had a good bit of fun with Glave." The human put his legs through his shorts. They had been at pants at one point, but battles changed that.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" Glave questioned in confusion.
"Doesn't matter too much. Either way, they noticed me and when the female came to check me out I teleported both of them and we had a go at it." Zero put his arms through his shirt. "I'm really sorry, but thanks for that, Cerulean. I'm good to go now."
And go they did. Collecting, albeit awkwardly for the grovyle, Zero touched his companions and teleported back to Advent Town. They popped in in the middle of the street near the department store. Several Pokémon were startled in the process, jumping back and muttering as they walked by the human that several of them intrinsically detested. He was indifferent to their resistance of him. The concept of proving his dedication to the citizens of the town was motivation enough to push through their current thoughts of him.
"I'd like it if you two stayed with me while I report to the Mayor. I get the feeling it won't be too smooth." Zero began walking in the direction of the town hall.
"Yeah, sure thing," Cerulean replied, jogging briefly to catch up. "I'm sure everything will blow over."
Glave did the same but followed behind the two. He was uncomfortable, but internally he told himself he'd get over it.
