The Vampire of Lavendar Town
By Ree-chan Peekster, Dugtrio16, and Dessa
Chapter 27
"Come on!" David said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not going back in there!" Chan cried. Brandon and David were taking trying to drag Chan out of the Pokémon Center. It was almost dawn. Chan's Mew floated above him trying to decide which side to help. Nishu got behind Chan and pushed him out the door.
"Hey!" Chan yelped as he and David were sent sprawling to the ground.
"We might need your help, Chan," Nishu said. "You know Victor better than we do."
"Heh... I'm still not going back in there. I just got out and I'm not going to risk being turned into a vampire for a third time," Chan answered as he got up to run.
Brandon grabbed his shirt and proceeded in dragging him toward the Pokémon Tower. "If it makes you feel better, you can stay in the Safety Zone," he said. "Stop struggling or do we have to carry you?"
"You do have that Haunter," Ben pointed out.
"True," Brandon commented.
"Okay, okay..." Chan said. "I'll go. But I'm not coming out of the Zone. Keep the ghost Pokémon away from me!"
Brandon grinned and let go of Chan's shirt. "Let's see if you remember how to teleport, Chan." With that, the group teleported to the Safety Zone.
"You know, I don't think Dessa is going to like this," David commented once they were there.
"You're just now figuring that out?" Chan asked.
"No..." David said with his voice trailing off. "I get the creeps every time I see that Gastly."
Brandon followed his gaze. It was floating nearby watching them. "With that thing nearby, Victor can't be too far."
"I hope you brought food 'cause I'm hungry," Chan said changing the subject.
Ben tossed him a large muffin. "I bet you're glad that you're eating normal food now."
"Enjoy it while you can," Victor called from the stairs. "You shouldn't have come back."
"We made him come," Brandon told Victor.
"That was an even bigger mistake." Chan bit into the muffin hungrily. Within a minute, he had eaten it.
"What'd you do to him, Victor? Starve him?" Nishu asked.
"Probably," Sarah answered.
"You also shouldn't have brought her here. Children are most vulnerable," Victor taunted.
"You keep away from my sister!" Chan yelled.
"Hey, I made a deal. I won't touch any of you," Victor said. His smile didn't fade though. In fact, it got bigger. Chan swallowed hard as he looked up at Gastly.
"Where's Dessa?" Chan demanded. Victor looked up toward the stairs, and everyone's eyes followed.
"Why don't you go meet her? I'm sure she'd welcome you." Not a single person missed the mocking in his voice. They could barely see Dessa at the top of the stairs, only her pale skin and her golden hair stood out. "Why don't you come and join us, my little goddess?" Dessa psychically lifted herself up, and floated down to join them, staying away from the Gastly, and from Victor.
"Go away!" Dessa yelled at them.
"Now, now, my little goddess, these are our guests. We need to be kind to them." Victor's eyes began to glow, and Dessa fell to her knees in pain.
"What are you doing?!" Ben cried.
"I'm just having Dessa change into something a little more... comfortable." Dessa's body rose into the ground, and then began to glow. All of a sudden, with a flash of light, Dessa became Anglessa. But Victor didn't stop there. He kept pumping more psychic energy into her.
"He's trying to force her to evolve," Brandon said under his breath. All of a sudden, Anglessa transformed into Raifugami, but then her screams became ear-piercing. The silver feathers of her wings exploded, leaving dark red bat wings. Her long, golden hair turned dark, with blood red highlights, and rose into a ponytail. Her purple eyes turned red, and her teeth became as a vampire's. Her dress became dark red and black, and her flats became black boots.
"Now there's a pokémon I can relate to," Victor said, laughing. "My goddess of death, Shigami!"
"Dessa!" Brandon and Chan cried at the same time. Shigami turned and glared down at them.
"Dessa! Remember who you are and turn back into Raifugami!" Brandon yelled.
"We're your friends, your family!" Chan yelled.
"Friends?" Shigami sneered. "How are you my friends? Friends don't leave each other in the dark, so to speak, instead of telling them about potential dangers. I wouldn't call your recent actions very 'friendly.' And 'family?' If you recall, I don't have any family." As she was telling them this, Chan whispered orders to his Mew, who temporarily disappeared, reappearing behind Victor, grabbing something, and going back.
"What about Pluto?" Brandon challenged her, throwing Mew's filched goods, Dessa's Crystal Key and Pokéball.
"Pluto..." Shigami began to falter, her eyes looking softer, and beginning to change color.
"Yes, Pluto," Victor chimed in. "The one who kept you in that pokéball, as a pet, and who refused to reveal herself to you for 16 years, not even telling you of your true heritage." Shigami's eyes reverted back.
"Cat's in the cradle, Brandon, cat's in the cradle," was Shigami's response.
