The Vampire of Lavendar Town
By Ree-chan Peekster, Dugtrio16, and Dessa
Chapter 19
Chan awoke with a splitting headache. He was in his chambers. There was a platter of food on the night stand.
"No..." he cried softly. "Dessa..." He slumped back down in his bed and fell back into unconsciousness. He had been unaware that Victor was watching him closely.
Turning to his servant, he said, "Feed him before he wakes up. I fear he won't do it by himself."
*******
When Dessa woke up, she felt groggy and weak. She also felt hungry, in a way she never had before. She remembered Victor summoning Chan, and then her mind went blank. She was pretty sure that Victor had put her to sleep, but after that, she couldn't tell. She snapped her eyes open, and saw that Victor was waiting for her.
"What do you want?" she hissed at him.
"I simply come offering you food." He held out what was behind his back, a struggling Spearow.
"Why would you bring me that unless... NO!!" She felt her teeth with her tongue, and sure enough, her incisors were elongated. "I won't."
"Yes you will." With that, he took control of her, and forced her teeth into the bird. She pulled away before it was dead, and promptly threw the blood up, all over Victor.
"You can't force me, either. Chan told you about me. My innate good side will fight this off."
"Well, we'll see."
*******
Chan groaned as he woke up again. Victor's servant was standing over him offering him some food.
"I don't want it," Chan told him.
"You don't have much of a choice. You can either eat it, or Victor can take control of you," the servant told him. Chan snarled but didn't argue further. He sat up, or attempted to. The servant had to help him. The servant, then, spoon fed him the soup.
*******
Chan was staring up at the ceiling when Victor came in. He could sense the vampire was in a foul mood.
"You shouldn't have forced me to change her," Chan growled trying to back away.
Victor scowled. "Don't push it, young one. I was nice enough to change you back despite the fact you declined the offer. I can easily turn you into a vampire again."
Chan backed away further but didn't say anything. He only tried to summon up the courage to call for help.

Brandon had just finished teleporting to Vermilion. He was tired. This task hunting was beginning to wear him out.
"I don't know how much more I can take," he told the others.
"Don't give up!" Ben pleaded. "We need you!" Brandon frowned but didn't say anything more. Suddenly he groaned and sank to his knees. He touched his forehead with one hand.
"What?" David asked worried.
"It's Chan," Brandon said. "Something's gone wrong. Terribly wrong."
"What?" Nishu demanded.
"I don't know. He was cut off before he could tell me."
"We should go back," Sarah suggested.
"No!" Brandon said. "I want to at least see if the manuscript is still there. We'll have a tool to use when we get back from this final task." The others reluctantly agreed and went in search for an empty dock so they could climb aboard Lapras again.
Once they found one, Ben got out Lapras' pokéball. Out of nerves, he accidentally heaved it out, far into the sea. It splashed in, unopened. Ben cursed loudly, then apologized.
"It's ok," David said. "It's nothing we've never heard before. But this is a problem. Now we need to go get the Pokéball before it floats away." Everybody stopped to think about the best way to go about doing this. A few moments later, Sarah had an idea.
"Does anyone have any other water Pokémon of any type?" she asked. "We can have it go out there and get it." Unfortunately, nobody did.
Brandon had another idea. "Someone could swim out there and get it," he suggested. Just as he said this, however, a school of Tentacool swarmed in.
"Great," said Nishu. "Tentacool have poisonous stingers. Now nobody can swim out there." Everybody sighed and started to think some more.
"I got it!" said Ben suddenly. He took out another Pokéball and opened it up. Out flew a Pidgeot with a loud cry. "Hey Pidgeot," Ben said to his Pokémon, "you see that Pokéball floating out there?" Pidgeot shuffled around to look at where Ben was pointing and gave a quiet squawk. "Good," Ben continued. "Could you go get it for me?" Pidgeot nodded and launched off the pier with a flap of its wings.
"That's a nice relationship you have with your Pokémon, Ben," Brandon said as Pidgeot flew over the water.
"Thanks," Ben replied, watching as his Pokémon swooped down and scooped up the small sphere. "I've had it since it was a Pidgey and trained it all the way to where it is now." Pidgeot arrived back at the pier and landed with a small thump. "Thank you, Pidgeot," smiled Ben, stroking its head, "You don't know how crucial a role you just played."
He returned Pidgeot back into its Pokéball and picked up Lapras's. "I think I got it now..." he mumbled. He tossed it into the water, and out came Lapras.
