Lyman held his assailants fists tight before pushing them away with all this strength. One of them, which he noticed was a Staraptor, had stayed in the air and caught himself. The other, the Houndoom from the night Lucien disappeared, had landed on his feet underneath a nearby streetlight. Lyman glared at him, taking notice of the familiar emblem on his jacket, while being wary of the Staraptor circling above him in the air.
"So I was right. You bastards and your frat are the ones behind all these kidnappings."
Lyman slowly began to take off his jacket, and threw it aside. He noticed the Houndoom trying to circle around him, and did the same.
I'm gonna have to go all out from the start. I can't afford to make any mistakes here.
He cracked his neck, and then his knuckles, readying Rock Polish, giving him the orange glow he was all too familiar with.
"You made the mistake of taking the one person you shouldn't have, and doubled down by approaching me directly."
He took his battling stance, and jumped backwards to avoid the Staraptor diving straight for him, his wings and talons glowing red, prepared to use Close Combat. He landed on his feet, and barely had a moment to think as the Houndoom fired a Flamethrower directly at him. He narrowly avoided it, and jumped into the street. The two didn't waste any time before rushing at him, the Staraptor using Close Combat once more, and the Houndoom using Beat Up. He ducked and dodged each of the blows from the Staraptor, and hit the Houndoom away with a Sucker Punch to the face before his move landed.
Lyman took this moment to power up his paws with Rock Climb, sharpening his claws. He looked up and noticed the Staraptor circling overhead. His wings began to glow blue, and he flapped his wings full force, blasting sharp gusts of wind toward the ground via Air Cutter. The move didn't have much of an effect on Lyman, but he still grunted in pain from the multiple hits.
The Houndoom rushed forward, fists covered in darkness once more, and attempted to use Beat Up. However Lyman matched him step for step, and deflected his punches with Rock Climb. They traded blows for a bit before Lyman landed a few hits to the Houndoom's face and abdomen. He stumbled backwards, confused. He fired a few Flamethrowers randomly, nearly hitting the Staraptor in the air, and scorching a nearby streetlight, making it dark. The Staraptor flew down, with glowing red eyes, and a glowing pink body, having used Agility.
In a flash, he was clawing and slashing at Lyman, using Frustration to heighten his abilities. Lyman blocked a few of the hits, but knocked the Staraptor upward with Sucker Punch. Lyman quickly jumped onto the awning of a nearby building, then used Rock Climb to run up the side of the wall. He lunged off the wall to the Staraptor in midair, and before he could react, he punched him downward with Rock Climb. He landed next to him, but the Staraptor was quick on his feet. He was up in an instant, using Close Combat once more. Lyman could only block the hits, and grunted in pain with each slash and wingbeat.
In the midst of the exchange, the Houndoom ran over with his body glowing blue, readying a Reversal. But instead of hitting Lyman, he'd hit the Staraptor, shocking them both. The Staraptor recoiled with a grunt, and Lyman used this chance to punch the ground, using Stone Edge to knock the bird into a nearby mailbox, causing mail to fly everywhere. He twitched once, then lost consciousness.
The Houndoom finally snapped out of confusion, but not soon enough. He was ready to use Reversal once more, but thrown into the air by a Stone Edge. Lyman caught his landing with a Rock Climb to the face, and used his blinding speed to grab the Houndoom by the throat, and drag him across the ground. He ran foward, and slammed the Houndoom into a building, and held him there. The Houndoom coughed and groaned, and Lyman had readied his fists with Rock Climb.
"Now...Tell me where your frat house is, or I'll crush your windpipe."
...
Moments later Lyman was standing in an alley across the street from the building Monty's frat was supposedly in. It was a massive building, and Lyman felt as though it would take him ages to navigate it if he was going to be stealthy.
He was hiding behind a dumpster, and was trying his best to spot anyone inside, but couldn't see much. From what he could see and hear, it sounded like they were having a party.
He surveyed the area for a brief moment, before sprinting across the street to hide in the shadows next to the building. He peered inside, and saw various Pokemon sporting the emblem of the frat Monty was in. He noticed somewhere holding cups, presumably with alcohol in them, and others were playing games and rough housing. He looked over, and noticed a window leading to another room, which was completely empty, save for a Cinderace that was standing next to a door. He was standing alone, and had his arms crossed. He looked like he was angry about something, and after sizing him up, Lyman determined he'd have to knock him unconscious in order to get in. He quickly devised a plan, and knocked on the window. He jumped on the ledge above the window, and waited for the Striker Pokemon to walk up to it.
A moment later, the Hare hadn't shown himself, and Lyman reached down and knocked again. This time, the Cinderace walked over, visibly annoyed. He slammed the window open, and peeked out.
"Who the fuck is there?! This isn't the time to play games with me, I'm in a shit mood already. So show yourself so I know whose ass I have to kick."
The Cinderace looked around for a bit before grunting and closing the window. In that instant, Lyman swung down kicked through the glass, hitting the Cinderace in the chest. He jumped inside, and before he could regain his composure, Lyman punched him in the cheek with a Rock Climb, knocking him into a wall and rendering him unconscious.
He wiped the shards of glass off of him, and his ear flicked when he heard the door the Cinderace was guarding opening. He quickly ran behind it, and readied his fists with Rock Climb. He braced himself for another battle.
"Alright alright, no need to throw a temper tantrum Cole, I told you I'd only be a secon-"
Lyman grabbed the Pokemon by their shirt collar, and was about to strike when he realized who it was.
"Alex?"
He looked down in confusion at the battered Dusk Lycan, who had a cast on, and was sporting a black eye. He was holding up his good paw in defense. He had a cart with various food items and drinks on it.
Alex went wide eyed when he saw Lyman. He immediately teared up, and hugged him.
"You're alive...thank Arceus."
Lyman pat his back softly, still very confused.
"I don't know why I wouldn't be...but you need to explain some things to me."
Alex let go of him, and looked around.
"Right right, but not here. Come in the cupboard."
Alex pushed the cart back inside, and Lyman followed. They both knelt on the tile floor, and Lyman immediately started questioning him. Alex happily answered all of his inquiries. He explained what the frat had done, his role in all this, that he was being blackmailed with Lucy's life, and why he was beaten up.
"And...after all that, Monty had his two best goons go after you, and he...he told them to bury you for good. Lucien looked like he was about to break down... I'm glad you're okay. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you died because of my mistakes."
Lyman pat his shoulder.
"It's not your fault, you had no idea this would happen, and you did it to protect Lucy. Besides, those goons barely put a scratch on me. But that's not important right now. We need to find Lucien, and get everyone the hell out of here."
Alex nodded.
"It'll be tough. Lucien is being held a room in the corridors in the basement. Monty's been keeping him alone for some sick game he's playing."
Lyman growled and slammed his fist into the ground, breaking a few tiles.
"That fucking bastard... I'm gonna kill him."
Lyman was about to get up, but Alex grabbed his shoulder, earning him a glare.
"Wait. Lyman I can help. I've actually been working on a plan to get everyone out of here. He told me I had three strikes, but I wasn't about to give up after a few broken bones. And now that you're here it'll go a lot smoother. We can save Lucien, take down the entire frat, and get everyone out of here tonight. You just need to listen to me."
...
Alex pushed the tray of food and drinks down the empty hallway. He hummed a pleasant tune, barely audible over the loud party music coming from below. He made his way to a door being guarded by an Obstagoon. He walked up and waved at him.
"Hey Drake. Just coming in to feed everyone."
The Badger raised a brow.
"Where's Cole?"
Alex sweatdropped and waved it off.
"He's downstairs throwing up. He ended up getting really drunk and couldn't handle it."
Drake chuckled, and unlocked the door, and moved aside.
"HA! That guy. Never could handle his drinks like he said he could."
Alex started to pushed the cart inside, but stubbed his toe on the wall. He yipped in pain, and held his foot.
"Dammit! This is the forth time today! I swear my toe's gonna fall off at this rate."
Drake gave a loud laugh in response, and in the midst of his laughter, Alex punched him square in the gut with a hit from Close Combat. He used his one good arm to grab his shoulder, and followed up with a knee to the chest. Drake stumbled backwards, and tripped over a foot that appeared from underneath the tablecloth over the cart. He fell backwards and hit his head on a nearby table, knocking it over and losing consciousness.
Lyman stepped out from underneath the cart, and stretched while groaning.
"You know, next time you suggest I hide in something like that, maybe get a bigger cart, that shit made my back sore."
Alex grabbed the set of key's from Drake's pocket, and smiled sheepishly at Lyman.
"Sorry, but that's the only one I had. But that doesn't matter now, I've got the keys to all the chains in the house, and the new mixture. I've already set everything else into place, we just have to hope that things go our way."
Lyman nodded, and opened the door. He was shocked when he was greeted by not 24 Pokemon chained up, but instead there were seven Pokemon chained to various things in the room. There was a Charizard, a Clefable, an Aipom, a Scizor, an Ursaring, a Slowking, and an Infernape. They looked at Alex with a smile, but looked cautiously at Lyman. The Clefable was the first to speak.
"Welcome back Alex! Are you here with dinner?"
Alex shook his head 'no'.
"I'm here with my friend Lyman to help everyone escape."
At that, everyone looked at him, completely shocked. The Scizor stood with wide eyes.
"Are you crazy? You know what'll happen if you fail. None of us want to see you hurt again."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but Lyman was only confused.
"You guys are awfully chummy for a bunch of kidnapped Pokemon."
The Aipom used her tail to grab a can of soda from the food cart.
"That's because Alex takes care of us. He's never hurt or threatened us like the others, and brings us food. We all know he's only apart of this because he's protecting his sister, and we understand that he wants out of all this as much as we do."
The Charizard grunted in agreement.
"Yes. He's a prisoner like the rest of us. And he's been putting his and his sister's life at risk to help us escape, and even got them to spare our lives so we wouldn't be killed like the rest of the Pokemon that were here at some point."
The Ursaring stretched.
"Yeah. And now he's offerin another escape plan, and you're helping? We all wanna leave but I can't bare to watch a kid throw his life away for my sake."
Lyman looked at the worried faces, and grew more determined.
"No one's throwing their life away. Things are different now because I'm here. We already have the keys to your chains, and Alex made a mixture to counteract the one you all took."
He held up a large jar of brown liquid.
"This is a mixture of vitamins known to help Pokemon train and grow stronger over time, along with supplements that make the effects occur instantly. So if you all take this, you'll be able to fight. We just need to know who's willing."
Everyone's faces lit up when he made his proposal. The Charizard, the Scizor, the Ursaring, and the Infernape all stood. The Infernape took the jar from Lyman.
"I was one of the first few to be stuck in this room, and I've watched Pokemon come in here and leave, and never come back. I stood by while Alex here tried time and time again to get us out, and I'm taking the first chance I can get to help. I'm pretty sure these guys are with me."
He took a sip of the mixture while the trio of Pokemon nodded and watched as Alex undid their chains. He undid their chains one by one, until everyone was free.
"Well, the rest of you, we have one more thing to take care of, so I'll need you all to come with me. We won't be fighting hopefully, but I can't do it alone."
The Clefable, the Aipom, and the Slowking nodded and drank the mixture as well. They all stood by the door and prepared for battle. Lyman took his hoodie off and threw it to the side.
"All right everyone. Let's do this!"
...
Lucien whimpered as Monty ran his tongue up the side of his neck softly. He was holding Lucien's paws above his head, and with the mixture taking its effect almost fully, he couldn't muster the strength to push him off. He whispered in his ear, while rubbing the base of his tail softly.
"Ready for your final day of initiation? After today the effects of the mixture will fully take place, and you won't be able to resist me any longer. I just need to weaken that Lucario resolve of yours."
He squeezed the best, and rubbed his claws a little to close to his rear, making Lucien whimper loudly.
"Don't worry. It'll only hurt for a bit, after that you'll be moaning like a bitch in heat. Then...you'll be all mine."
Monty started to remove his pants, and heard a thump from upstairs, causing him to pause. He chuckled, when the thumping and bumping got louder.
"Those guys. I know I told them to go wild, but I hope they don't destroy the house."
He got his pants off, and started to remove Lucien's worn down sweats. There was another thump, and a crash. Lucien could only wonder what it was, and Monty looked up, thinking.
"Hm. There must've been a drunk fight. Eh, you'll get used to it. Besides, Cover and Scout should be back by now, I'm sure they'll take care of it."
He had almost gotten Lucien's pants off, when there was a loud bang on the door to the basement, and it was flung open. Monty groaned and put his pants back on. He stood up, and growled while walking to the door.
"I thought I told you jackasses not to bother me tonight! I-"
He was interrupted by two bodies flying down the stairs. A Mightyena entangled with a familiar red Lycan flew down, with the Lycan landing the Mightyena. He punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious. He stood up, and wiped some blood off of his face. He huffed and stood tall, showing off his roughed up body, disheveled hair, torn clothes, and gleaming scarlet eyes, brimming with determination. He met the two with the most vicious glare Lucien had ever seen, which only intensified when he noticed Lucien's pants were halfway off.
Monty could only stare in anger and shock.
"Well well well...you're the last Pokemon I was expecting to come down those stairs."
Lyman only took a fighting stance.
"Not in the mood to chat huh? That's fine, there wasn't much to say."
Monty took off his shirt, showing off his impressive muscular body, and cracked his shoulders, before taking a fighting stance as well.
"I guess I outta finish what Cover and Scout couldn't. Let's end this Lyman."
Lyman was the first to move, he rushed forward, swiping at Monty with Rock Climb powered claws. Monty was faster than Lyman, and dodged each of his attacks, before hitting Lyman in the chin with an uppercut powered by Revenge. Lyman shook it off, and quickly used Rock Polish to boost his agility, and circled the Fire Cat with blinding speed. He quickly his him in the side with a Sucker Punch, before circling him again and landing several punches with Rock Climb. The last hit knocked Monty off of his feet and sent him flying backwards into a wall.
Monty got up quickly and spat out some blood, growling.
"So you're going all out from the get go huh? I might as well turn things up a notch."
He flexed his muscles, and bared his fangs at Lyman, growling loudly as a red aura surrounded him. He took a new fighting stance with Work Up activated, and rushed at Lyman. He matched Lyman's speed, countering each of his hit, causing the Lycan to back off a little.
Lucien could only watch the battle unfold, as if it were a dream. The two danced around the room, leaving cracks in the walls and floor, smashing the furniture around them, all while avoiding the bed Lucien was on and the still unconscious Mightyena.
Lucien was entranced. Not only was the one he loved here, fighting for him, but he was fighting fiercer than ever before. He knew Lyman was tough, but to him go to such lengths for him made him gush a little. His movements were quicker, his blows hit harder, and his eyes shown a deeper red, that made him look like a feral beast. A feral beast fighting for his mate.
He was shaken out of his thoughts when Monty sidestepped another Rock Climb, and clasped his hands together, before bringing them upwards with Outrage, hitting Lyman in the chin and sending him crashing through the ceiling above.
Lucien gasped, and tried to pry his chains off, but failed. He was helpless, and could do nothing but watch as Monty jumped through the freshly made hole in the floor, punching a still recovering Lyman out of his line of sight. He whimpered, realizing he was too weak, and could only hope that Lyman pulled through.
It was then that he noticed there was a little silver glimmer of hope not too far from him. He had left the key in the pocket of his letter jacket, which was just barely out of his reach. He mustered up all the strength he could, and crawled over to the edge of the bed. The chains limited his reach, but he managed to grab the jacket with the tip of his claws, and pulled the chair, making it fall over. He heard a clank sound as the chair fell over and was now leaning on the bed, and hoped it wasn't the key. He looked over on the floor and saw a jar that was labeled "EV MAX MIXTURE". He grabbed the jar, and found the key in the pocket. He undid the chain on his leg, and read the label on the jar, smirking.
Meanwhile upstairs, Lyman took blow after blow from the Torracat, who was somehow working through confusion, landing several punches before finishing the movement with a kick to the chest, sending him through the front window and into the yard. By now everyone in the frat had been knocked out, and the other Pokemon Lyman was with should've met up with Alex to escape. So now Lyman was totally alone.
Lyman barely had a chance to get up, before Monty landed on him, pressing his foot down on his chest.
"See Lyman? You never stood a chance here. Lucien was mine from the start, and won't have a choice once I kill you right here and now."
He grabbed the Lycan by his shirt collar, and punched his face over and over. Loud sounds of pounding and sadistic laughter rang throughout the area, and Lyman couldn't do anything but lie there.
"I suppose I should thank you. Because you brought yourself personally to me, on the day I finally planned to take all of Lucien, so I could kick your ass."
He was tired, and Monty wasn't giving him any room to breathe.
"As soon as I'm done with you, I'm gonna have angry sex with that little Lucario. And then I'll finally have everything."
His vision was starting to fade, but out of the corner of his eye he saw two figures. A tall blue figure, standing in the doorway, and a little yellow and white figure, coming right toward them from the side of the house.
"Stooooooooooooop! Big brother stop it! Leave the red doggy alone!"
Melissa ran towards Monty and Lyman, and started lightly punching Monty's arm, eyes full of tears. Monty stopped in his tracks, and dropped Lyman in an instant. He looked down at the Togepi with wide eyes, and pat her head to comfort her.
"M-Melissa, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be in your room."
She cried loudly.
"I was! But Allie told me we could take a walk, and then I saw you being mean to the red doggy! And now you're hurt too! Let me help! I know a move my mommy taught me! Life Dew!"
A blue aura surrounded the trio, and Monty looked down at Lyman with wide eyes once more. He cursed before putting Melissa down, but was too slow. Lyman had regained a little bit of stamina from the Togepi, and kicked Monty off him. The Torracat shielded the Togepi from the harsh fall, before putting him down, and taking a battle stance, ready to fight once more.
But Lyman had other plans. He rushed passed the two Pokemon, and jumped on roof the porch, to a nearby windowsill, to the roof of the frat house. His piercing red eyes shown, and he howled, clearing the skies to show a full red moon. Melissa whimpered and hid behind Monty, and Lucien, who had just made his way outside, gasped at the sight. He quickly took a sip of the liquid in the jar from earlier, and found himself invigorated.
As Lyman howled, his Z Ring shown, with his Lycanium Z activating. Sharp stones rose from the ground and pointed at the Torracat standing helplessly on the ground. He was using his body to shield the little Togepi standing behind him, even as the ground beneath them began rising slightly.
Lyman lunged down from the roof, and in that instant, Lucien used Extreme Speed. As Lyman closed in while the stones followed suit, the Lucario ran up the elevated ground at top speed, before grabbing Melissa from behind Monty, and sprinting back down. He activated Protect, and shielded Melissa's eyes from the view, and closed his own just before Lucien slashed at Monty with his claws, right before the stones crashed into him, creating a thick cloud of smoke that surrounded the entire yard. Once it cleared, it revealed an unconscious Monty, and a red Lycan standing tall in a crater he so effortlessly created.
Lucien watched in awe as Lyman stepped out of the crater, breathless, and smiled at the two Pokemon standing outside of his range of impact. He walked over, and pat Lucien on the head, giving him a loving smile, before collapsing completely, falling conveniently into Lucien's lap, unconscious.
Well what did you guys think? There are only two more chapters left, and then this story will come to a close. Thanks to you all for reading, and I'll see you next time!
