Dark Temptations: The Rewrite

Ch3: Familiar Evil

Has anyone ever told you how annoying it is to be woken up by the sun? It's terrible I tell you. One moment, you're dreaming, and the next moment you're being blinded. It's not pleasant I tell you. I woke up with the sun in my eyes and was about to get up until I realized that I had a weight on my chest. It was the cute Floatzel from the day before. She was softly snoring, a smile plastered all over her face. It was honestly an adorable sight. I didn't want to wake her up by getting up, so I pretended I was asleep. I was enjoying the sun's warmth while I waited. I was one of those people who didn't like getting woken up, unless it was important. I preferred waking up naturally.

After about ten minutes, I felt Floatzel begin to stir on top of me. She suddenly moved as if she was frightened, but quickly calmed down. I could feel her giving significantly more body heat than she was before. I could smell a distinct smell of fresh water mixed with a slightly musty scent.

Floatzel began nuzzling into my chest. She then took a deep breath and then sighed as if she was in pleasure. I felt my face heat up once I realized I made her feel that way.

"So I take it you want to join my team?"

I chuckled when Floatzel yelped, not realizing I was awake.

Floatzel's face lit up cherry red in embarrassment.

"O-okay!" She stuttered.

"Would you like a nickname?" I asked.

"No thank you. I already have a name. My name is Crystal." She replied.

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful Pokémon!"

"Thank you Master!"

"Call me Leo. We're all equal here so the 'Master' tag need not apply. Now I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat!"

I proceeded to pick her up and began to look for the professor, but something found me first.

"Leo!"

A black ball of fur came barreling at me, knocking me down in the process.

"Good morning, Layla. Excited to see me I see."

My Houndour decided what Layla did looked fun and did the same thing. This time, I was able to catch her before impact.

"Hi sweetie! Did you sleep well?"

Opal and Fennekin trotted/flew over to me once they noticed I was there.

"Good morning you two!"

Everyone seemed happy to see me and that in turn made me happy.

"Let's find the professor, girls! It's time for breakfast!"

The six of us didn't take long to find the professor, especially since the smell of freshly cooked eggs filled the air once we approached the kitchen.

"You're up pretty early. Do you and your Pokemon want some breakfast?"

"Yes please!"

During breakfast, I described what happened to me the day before.

"Floatzel decided to join me this morning. I found out her name was Crystal."

"Interesting... That Floatzel is wild as far as I know, so it should be fine for you to capture her."

I fished out a Great Ball and presented it to Crystal. She seemed to know what to do. She gingerly tapped the ball's button and was then sucked into the Pokéball. The ball made it's signature ping signaling a successful capture. I immediately let her out and hugged her.

"Welcome to the team, Crystal!"

Crystal blushed and gave me a cute smile.

"Before you go," Professor Oak began, "I have something to give you."

The professor gave me what appeared to be...

"A phone case?"

"Not just any phone case. Try putting it on. "

I pulled the edges away from each from each other, placed my phone in the middle, and snapped the edges back into place.

My phone restarted itself and began updating itself.

"Great... I was avoiding the update for a while now."

I had always been a computer nerd and hated updates. I always tinkered with my devices and done stuff I shouldn't have been able to do on them. It usually took about 3 hours to hack a device to my liking. It was usually stuff like a Dark Mode user interface and exposing the main operating system for me to improve or change. Updates always reversed my changes, forcing me to make them again, usually taking longer than before to figure out what got changed.

Professor Oak sweatdropped after hearing what I said.

"I guess you hack your electronics, huh?"

"Yup. I haven't updated my phone in over two years."

"This is going to take awhile."

Two hours and many belly rubs later.

My phone finally finished updating, but instead of the robot image was a logo that said "Pokédex OS."

"No... Way! I've read about this! This is the Pokédex add-on for Roboto phones! They projected that it would be released in a couple of years!"

Professor Oak chuckled at my excitement.

"That's exactly what it is! It's still unstable so until they make it more stable, they've been letting Rotom into the phones."

Professor Oak pulled out a Pokéball from his pocket. He threw it up in the air and said, "Come on out, Rotom!"

A very electronic looking Pokémon burst out of the ball. It kinda looked like it was a top with generic lightning symbols as wings. It looked cool to be honest.

"His phone will be your new home."

I watched the Pokémon zoom into my phone and disappear. What appeared to be a setup program popped up on the screen asking about setting up an avatar for Rotom.

"Rotom. You can decide your name and avatar. I also want you to speak freely at any moment. If you're talking, I want to talk to the real you and not you that was taught to talk in a certain way. Everything else you can ask me."

Rotom created an avatar of himself on the screen. The avatar seemed surprised, but happy I was giving him so much free will.

"In that case, I'm Dexter and pleased to meet you!"

I'm not going to bore me with the details, but he asked me several questions that helped him set up the new Pokédex software on my phone. After I was done, I shook the professor's hand.

"Thank you so much! This will help so much!"

"One last thing: my contact info."

The professor grabbed my phone and held it right above his smart watch for a second and returned the phone to my hand.

"Good luck!"

I said my farewell to the professor and began walking with my other companions back through the forest we walked through to get to the professor.

After getting a good distance into the forest, I decided it was a good idea for the six of us to train a bit while it's was still early. I paired Opal with Fennekin, Crystal with Layla, and Houndour with me.

This should be fun!

Layla's POV

( Play "Battle! Lusamine (Remix)" by Mewmore)

She was out to take my mate from me and I wasn't about to let that happen! Instead of training normally, I began attacking her with everything I had! She always seemed to be able to dodge everything I sent her and to make things more frustrating, she seemed to be having fun. This went for about five minutes with each moment making my anger rise higher than the moment before.

Before I realized what was going on, Crystal flipped me onto my back and held me down. I immediately struggled as I wasn't able to move.

"Get off m-mff!"

Crystal was kissing me! My anger was quickly replaced with surprise. She pulled away from the kiss and bopped me on the nose.

"Stop it... I'm not your enemy."

I calmed down and waited for her to continue.

"We both want Leo, but I'm gonna make sure you get him first. When the both of us met, Leo told me he would claim you once you evolved, so hurry up and evolve so I can get a go at him!"

I was I bit irritated at Crystal wanting to share him with me.

"Why do you want him so badly?" I asked.

"Are you kidding? Did you know he used a powerful Dark Type move to knock out three battle hardened canine Dark Types simultaneously. That's some serious power! He could legitimately protect us all! Not only that, but do you how kinky it could be to claim him?"

She clearly had thought about this.

"Oh Master! I can't take it anymore! Take me!" Crystal said in a randy and wanting manner.

I was blushing hard.

"Are you sure you're not a Dark Type?"

Crystal chuckled at that question.

"I'm definitely not a Dark Type, but my father was."

(End song)

The forest was suddenly silent. Something was close. Something dark.

Leo's POV

"Something doesn't feel right."

I heard a shriek ring out.

"Leo!"

"That was Layla! Let's go, hon! She needs our help!"

Crystal's POV

"Something doesn't feel right. I'm gonna check it out." Layla told me.

"Be careful. I don't want you to get hurt."

I decided to watch Layla from the shadows. After a minute of following her, it happened.

"What is a little Fox like you doing alone in a forest like this?" A male Houndoom walked into my view.

"What do you want?" Layla asked defensively.

"I think you know exactly what I want."

[Play "Meglovania Pokémon Remix (Vs. Trainer Sans)"]

The Houndoom's cherry red phallus was sliding out of its sheath. It almost seemed to glisten in the forest light.

Layla stepped a few steps back. She clearly was afraid.

"No! I won't let you!"

He chuckled darkly and replied, "We'll have to see about that won't we?"

He shot a quick Shadow Ball that Layla wasn't able to dodge. She flew several feet from the dark energy's impact. She tried to get up, but she was too hurt to get up.

"That's it? I was expecting more fight from someone willing to deny me what is mine... No matter. I'm going to enjoy this immensely."

He began approaching Layla with a swagger in his step. No! I will NOT let my own father defile my own teammate! I let loose a Hydro Pump and knocked him back about a foot. I stepped forward into father's view.

Father was pissed.

"How dare you interrupt what I was doing! You need to be punished!"

He attempted to Bite me, but I was able to dodge easily. I'm insanely good at dodging when I'm helping anyone. He kept launching attack after attack and I kept dodging. But I couldn't dodge forever. I grew tired quickly and starting to get sluggish. He was finally able to hit me... With a Thunderfang.

I couldn't move... I was paralyzed.

"About fucking time! Now back to what I was doing before I was rudely interrupted."

"No." I replied.

"No? What makes you think you can stop me?"

"Take me instead of her. I can handle it."

My father chuckled darkly.

"You're as much of a bitch in heat as your mother was... Very well. I'm sure you'll be as tight as your mother was."

He began approaching me slowly as if he was savoring this moment.

"Leo!" Layla cried out. She had apparently awoken during my small exchange I was having with my father.

"Shut up, bitch! No one is going to save you!"

He started lining himself up to penetrate me. Please get here quickly, Leo.

Leo's POV

I had to hurry. My love was in trouble.

I quickly came up to a clearing. I saw both Layla and Crystal, but the latter was about to be penetrated. I took my backpack off and ran towards the aggressor. Once I was close enough, I attacked.

"Sky Uppercut!"

He flew about ten feet into a tree. This wasn't over and I knew it.

I wasn't very good at dodging and if I got hit, I would probably die. I was a glass cannon.

He got up. He was pissed. He launched a Shadow Ball I was barely able to dodge. I was already winded from training with Houndour. The next hit was definitely going to hit. I braced myself for the inevitable. He launched a second Shadow Ball. I was on the ground. There was so much pain... My vision was fading.

No! I wasn't going to let this happen! I was determined to protect them and make sure justice was served!

"Son. It is time you learned the ways of Aura."

"Dad? It's that you?"

"Go, Son! Save the day!"

"Wait! I never got to meet y-Ahhhhh!"

Everything got bright and I couldn't see for about five seconds.

Once the brightness went down, I lowered my paws from my face. Wait... Paws? I was a Lucario! I'll be more surprised later. I was in the middle of a situation.

"Where did that Trainer go?"

I chuckled a bit.

"That was me!"

"Impossible!"

"Is this impossible?"

I Sky Uppercut him into the same tree as before.

This time he had a difficult time getting up. I slowly walked up to him.

"Houndour, sweetie? Do you mind getting an Ultra Ball from my backpack?"

"With pleasure!"

"Daughter?"

"How does it feel to be betrayed by both of your daughters when you have betrayed so many others? It doesn't feel good, does it?"

Houndour tossed me an Ultra Ball and I presented it to the Houndoom. His eyes bulged and he started shaking his head no in fear.

"Come to think of it, you will be the first Pokémon I've captured that didn't want to be captured. No matter. You are going to capture yourself right now."

The Houndoom tried firing a Flamethrower at me, but I punched him on his sensitive snout. He yelped and looked even more meek than before. I stared him down in a contest of domination. This went on for several minutes. The Houndoom broke eye contact and decided it would be in his best interest to capture himself.

Critical capture.

(Song end)

I took Layla and Crystal into my arms and held them. They cried in my arms for hours. My other Pokémon gathered around us and shared in our somber mood. Ever so often, I would kiss them on top of their head and telling them they were okay. I seemed to glow slightly, but it didn't care. My feelings of protectiveness never were as strong as they were now. They slowly calmed down. They progressively looked more at peace the longer they were in my arms. Both of them quickly fell asleep in my arms. I had to move since this wasn't a very safe place to rest.

I gathered my things and somehow put on my backpack without waking either of them from their slumber.

It didn't take me long to realize I was still in my Lucario form. I probably shouldn't enter towns and cities like this.

I tried focusing on how I looked as a human, but nothing happened. Great...

I might have to do some of my journey as Lucario. I'll figure something out.

I had to pass Viridian City on the way to Pewter City where I had to go next. The prospect of traveling didn't seem so safe anymore. I had so much to think about and not nearly enough time to figure it out.

After about ten minutes, I sensed something was following our group, but it didn't seem to have any malicious intent. It seemed more curious than anything else. Since it didn't seem malicious, I decided to ignore it.

It approached night by the time we arrived again in Viridian City. People were obviously still out and about so it wasn't necessarily safe to go in yet, but something occurred to me at that moment. I could theoretically capture myself and make it much safer for me to travel into towns and cities. I decided to try that exact idea.

"Alright girls. I'm going to try to catch myself in a Pokéball and one of you are going to have to try to release me from it."

They quickly agreed and I took out a Luxury Ball and pressed the button. I was sucked in.

Layla's POV

I waited until the ball pinged before trying to let him out. I approached the ball and tapped the button. Leo immediately materialized in front of me and I immediately tackled him and kissing him because I was glad he was okay.

Leo giggled at my antics.

"That's enough, Layla!" Leo said, still giggling.

"Let's find a decent spot to camp for tonight. I have to feed Houndour's father and set a few things straight."

After about ten minutes, Leo was able to find a fairly secluded clearing for us to camp.

Author's Notes

I ended up losing my muse for a while. I decided to post what I had so far.
