The Vampire of Lavendar Town
By Ree-chan Peekster, Dugtrio16, and Dessa
Chapter 22
Chan? Dessa sent to him. I need your help. Chan was quick to comply, because he wanted to ask Dessa if she understood what was happening to her. He quickly walked down the adjoining hallway, and soon stood inside the door of Dessa's room.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Something's happening inside of me, and I can't control it."
"Like when your powers are growing?"
"No. It's almost like I have multiple personality disorder, or something. I have too many voices inside my head, and they're each leading me somewhere different."
"Like what?"
"Well, there's Anglessa, leading me toward the light, and the vampire in me, leading me toward the darkness. Both are part of me, and they're tearing me apart."
"Is that what caused the reaction?"
"What else could it be? But I'm scared, Chan. On Anglessa's side, because of my powers growing, I can feel something extra, stronger, fighting with her. That has to be Raifugami."
"That's good, right?"
"But I can feel something on the vampire's side, too!!"
"Like what?"
"How should I know? I don't even have any memories of Raifugami!"
"How would I know what it's like?" Chan said. "I only saw Raifugami. I don't know what it is like to build up that kind of strength. I'm not a pokémon. I only have Ditto DNA."
"I know," Dessa said. "But you have to realize how hard it is to control yourself with something tearing you apart. You were a vampire too."
Chan looked at the floor. He didn't want to think about that. "Yes, I was a vampire. Yes, I thought at times the hunger was going to make me kill everyone. It was very annoying. But I don't know what you are describing. It wasn't like that. But whatever it is, it scares me."
"Why?"
"Because if something is strong enough to fight Raifugami then it must be a dark equivalent."
Dessa shuddered. "Don't say that."
"I won't say that again but it's the only explanation that I can think of." Chan was right. Something was fighting against Raifugami. Dessa could only hope that whatever it was would lose the battle.

In the shadows outside Dessa's room stood Victor. He had a smile on his face. The discussion he had just heard confirmed his suspicions. There was a dark evolution. He wondered if he'd be able to gain control of it. Smiling he walked back to his room.
"You have no idea how useful you are, young one," he said as he did though he knew Chan wouldn't hear him.

Suddenly, a dark form loomed up from the depths of the sea. Sarah screamed. "What's that?!" In a rush of water and foam, the thing broke through the surface. Sarah cowered behind Nishu and shut her eyes.
When the water receded, everyone stared dumbfounded at what had come up. It appeared to be a large submarine shaped like a Magikarp. Its horn suddenly popped off and out jumped two people in white uniforms. "Who are-," Brandon began, but was cut off by music blaring from nowhere.
"Prepare for trouble!" shouted one figure with a female voice.
"Make it double!" shouted the other with a male's, slightly British sounding voice.
"Oh no," Nishu groaned, "I know where this is going..."
"To protect the world from devastation!" said the female.
"To unite all people within our nation!" said the male.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!" shouted a Meowth as it jumped out of the sub.
Everybody on Lapras sighed, except for Ben. "WOW!! A talking Meowth?! That's so cool!!" he shouted.
As Brandon explained, Nishu addressed Team Rocket. "What do you guys want?" he called to Jessie and James.
"How about that Lapras?" replied James.
"No way!" Ben shouted back.
"Yes!" shouted Jessie.
"No!" yelled David.
"Yes!" called James.
"NO!!" the taskhunters shouted.
"YES!!!" shouted all three on the sub.
Ben sighed. "Lapras?" he said to his Pokémon.
"With pleasure." it replied. It turned to Team Rocket and opened its mouth. Out came one of the biggest Blizzard attack any of them had ever seen. Team Rocket was thrown into the air.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!" they called as they disappeared in a sparkle of light.
"Well that was pretty darn pointless," Brandon murmured, his eyes fixed on the spot where Team Rocket disappeared.
"Not totally," Ben replied, "look!" Everybody turned and saw Team Rocket's sub still sitting in the water.
"Well this is convenient. Almost cartoony," Nishu said, and everyone agreed. They hopped in and, after Ben withdrew Lapras, shut the lid.
Once inside and settled down Ben turned to Nishu. "You don't like them very much, do you?"
"No. I used to be a member of Team Rocket along with my other two sons, Casey and Sam," Nishu responded.
"Sorry..." Ben said.
"Hey, don't worry about it. Team Rocket is no good. That's why I quit."
"Um..." Brandon interrupted. "We need three people to get this thing going. I volunteer for one."
"Me!" David shouted. "I have way too much energy right now."
"I noticed," Brandon said.
"I'll cycle," Nishu said.
"What about us?" Sarah asked.
"You relax," Brandon told her. "Ben, could you by chance guide us?"
"Sure!" Ben exclaimed.
After a few minutes, they figured out how to operate the sub and were underwater near the bottom of the sea. Near them they could see the whirlpools. Ben waited for the moving one to pass. "Okay, full speed ahead!" he cried. The cyclists pumped the pedals and the sub moved. Soon they were past the whirlpools and out of the moving one's way.
"Now what?" Ben asked.
"Look for rocks," David suggested.
"Okay.. there's a whole bunch of them dead ahead."
"Let's go to the surface and check things out," Nishu suggested. The others agreed and the sub moved up.
As the sub got nearer to the surface of the water, it started to rock about. "What's going on?" shouted David as he fell off his seat.
"I don't know," replied Ben. "The water is really choppy."
"Uh-oh," said Brandon, "I think I know what's going on." Just as he finished, the sub broke through and was immediately thrown about. Brandon looked through one of the portholes and groaned. "Just as I thought. Look."
Everybody looked through the window and saw nothing but rain and darkness. "The storm's hit," Brandon moaned.
"Great," Ben said. "We have to put up with the storm too. As if things weren't bad enough."
Nishu cried out happily. "Over here. Look what's wedged into the rocks!"
Brandon went over. A tired smile spread to his face. "It's the boat that Victor described."
David jumped up and down happily until Brandon tripped him. "Hey! That hurt!" David whimpered.
"Then don't do that," Sarah suggested.
David grumbled. "I'm happy that we found it."
"We have a slight problem," Brandon said. "We can't get out until the storm passes. The water is too choppy." The others groaned.
"Yeah, yeah..." Brandon said. "It's annoying but it's that or go out and possibly get killed."
"I vote for staying in here," David responded. The others quickly agreed.
