Chapter 2 ~ The Errand and the Rival
-separater-
"I want to cut through my skin
And pull you within
My heart burns like the sun
As our flesh becomes one
In the darkness, my heart aches at the sight of you
Trembles and quakes within sight of you
In the darkness
Our bodies burning, tides are turning, somehow stopping time
What is becoming of my heart and mind?"

Kilak growled in the back of his throat to get the attention of his friend and the Blaziken.
"We should get going." He said. They pulled apart and glared at him.
"I just thought you two might want to continue that later, in a more secluded, and possibly more comfortable place." He continued. Nodding Kaji and Blade started walking.
Kaji stopped and knelt to let Kilak jump on his shoulder.
"So … Cherry Grove? Are there any gyms there?" asked Kaji.
"No, the first gym is in Violet City. You weren't kidding when you said we were putting this journey on hold." Said the Ralts. Kaji rolled his eyes and started to walk faster. Blade struggled to keep up for a moment before grabbing Kaji's hand.
The elf turned to him and blinked.
"What? I thought … never mind …" Blade said as he went to pull his hand away. Kaji stopped him, digging now half transformed mettalic claws into the pokemon's hand.
"No. This is fine." He said. Blade raised an eyebrow but shrugged. There were things about the elf that even the smartest person wouldn't be able to figure out without the right information.

Two hours later they had made it to Cherry Grove City. They would have gotten there sooner but Kilak wanted to train. When asked why he wasn't as well Blade only said he would train later.
"My master trained me well. Until we reach a place I deem worthy I have no need for it." Said Blade.
"Why not train with me later then?" asked Kaji.
The Blaziken's eyes widened in slight arousal as he heard that.
"Sounds good. I would suggest finding a place that is protected from most attacks. I am sure we will destroy anything around here." Said Blade.
"Good idea. Maybe the Pokemon Center has somewhere like that." Said Kilak. The two blinked, sometimes they forgot the Ralts was there.
As they entered the city a boy called out to them.
"You're not from around here are you?"
"Does that matter?" asked Kaji, standing in front of Blade. The pokemon was tempted to push the elf aside and stand protectively in front of him; he managed to hold the urge back, just barely.
"I can show you around." The boy said.
"Don't see why not." Kaji muttered under his breath. Both his pokemon companions heard him and smirked.
After being 'shown around' the city the boy stopped in front of a building.
"I have something for you. Just hang on a minute." The boy said as he went inside.
"Wonder what he has?" asked Kaji.
"Who knows. He better not be trying to hit on you." Blade said. The Ralts and Kaji gave him strange looks.
"What? Was what we did earlier nothing to you?" asked the Blaziken. Kaji put Kilak on the ground and pinned Blade to the wall.
"Did I ever say that?" he hissed. This just made Blade hard immediately.
"No." he replied.
"Good," said Kaji, releasing the pokemon and picking up Kilak.
"Mind putting me down," the Ralts said. Smirking Kaji held onto Kilak tighter. The Ralts shot a beam of psychic energy at Kaji, but it had no effect. The energy rebounded and was nuetralized by the 'dark' item. Sighing Kilak felt the hands of his captor. He was surprised to find metallic claws; that's what had stopped his attack? It was a good thing that psychic attacks couldn't hurt him. They were drawn to the 'dark' item, where they were neutralized.
Kaji suddenly released the Ralts, and Kilak nearly fell. He clung to Kaji's left wrist and climbed up his arm.
"Told you I wouldn't let go." Said kaji. Kilak shot him a glare which was ignored. The Ralts tugged on Kaji's hair in order to relieve a bit of the tension from his body.
Blade had watched this with amusement in his eyes. The two were just funny to watch. He leaned against Kaji, wanting to see what the human boy would do when he saw them like that. Would he be disgusted? Human/pokemon relationships were seen as absolutely disgusting when his master was still alive. Maybe now they would be seen as 'normal.'
The boy came out of the building and stared. The Blaziken was leaning against the boy, looking smug.
"… um … here." He said. A box was passed to Kaji. The elf seemed confused so the boy explained,
"Those are roller skates. I would give you Running Shoes but I gave away my last pair. Those will be faster anyway." The boy explained.
"Thanks," said Kaji. He took out the skates and put them on. It was curious how he wasn't wearing shoes when he awoke earlier …
"Where are you trying to go?" asked the boy. Kilak glared at him.
"I think I can manage. My Ralts knows this area pretty well." Kaji said before Kilak could attack the boy.
"Alright, come back to this building if you get lost. I can help you." The boy said. Kaji nodded and walked off. Blade followed after, smirking at the boy.
What was it about that Blaziken? He seemed different from other pokemon. It was almost as if he could think like a human. Was that even possible …
-separater-
Kaji went to the Pokemon Center first. He let the nurse take Kilak and went to sit on one of the couches. Blade followed him and sat next to the elf.
"You know I have to get you back for earlier right." Said the Blaziken. Kaji smirked at him and moved to another couch. Blade scowled and followed.
He pinned the boy against the couch and devoured his mouth with his own. Kaji held back a moan and entangled his hands in Blade's hair. They pulled back for air a few minutes later, both hard and slightly flushed.
"I told you I would." said Blade.
"Yu sure did. Just watch it. I might come after you in the middle of the night Blade." Kaji said with a snicker.
Blade glared, this action being ignored completely by the blind elf.
"You do know that glaring does nothing if it can't be seen don't you?" asked Kaji. Blade smacked him on the arm and laughed.
"We might want to go get Kilak now. I am not sure If I can keep from jumping you for much longer, Kaji." Blade said, letting his voice drop a bit. The way he spoke made Kaji's pants tighten a little, causing him to glare at the pokemon.
"You just have to make things more difficult don't you?" he asked.
"That's what I am here for. That, and to protect you." Said Blade.
"Protect me?"
"That is my job every time I find a new 'master.' I think I shall forgo that most of the time around you. You seem to be able to take care of yourself." Said Blade.
"Good." Said Kaji as they made their way back to the counter.
"You two are so cute." The pink haired nurse said. Kaji smirked and grabbed Kilak from the counter.
"I suppose we will be needing to train much sooner than I thought." He said. Blade blinked and smirked himself.
"I guess so."
Kilak scowled and swatted Blade on the shoulder.
"Leave him alone for once Blade."
"Don't call me that. It's Inferno or Inferno Blade to you."
"And why is that? Is Blade his special name for you?"
"I …" the Blaziken said as he was rendered speechless.
"No, that one hasn't been chosen yet. Blaze might work though …" said Kaji with a glazed look in his eyes. Blade glared, hoping it would do something for once.
It didn't.
"Do you have a room where I could train with my pokemon?" asked Kaji of the nurse.
"Of course. When will you be needing it?" asked the woman.
"Probably later tonight. I am not sure of the time exactly." Said the boy.
"I will give you the keys when you are ready." She said.
"Thanks," said Kaji as he left the center with Blade beside him.
They traveled along the grassy path toward Ms. Pokemon's house. Kaji growled low in his throaqt as he ran into something.
Damnit!
"What the fuck did I run into now?" asked Kaji.
"A tree. There are berries growing on it." Said Blade. Kaji shook his head and stepped away from the tree.
He rubbed his arm, for it had begun to throb slightly. He bent it at the elbow, hissing slightly as a wave of pain shot through his arm and shoulder.
"Care to explain this?" he asked no one in particular.
"I believe your arm is prone to being injured a little more than usual due to the lingering effects of the Mightyena's poison." Replied Kilak. Both the elf and the Blaziken glared at him.
He sighed and continued,
"The Pecha berry cured you of the poison, but there is still a chance that the effects haven't worn off yet."
"Mightyena poison? Do you know what his level was?" asked Blade, interested.
"I don't know for sure. I would have to say … twenty-five or so …" said Ralts.
"Twenty-five … That would mean he gets double the injuries for a few days …" Blade mused out loud. Kaji glared at the pokemon beside him. What was he talking about?
Before he could ask they heard a strange sound. It was coming from nearby, and pretty loud. It almost sounded like …
-separater-
A Servine hissed angrily as Pidgeotto, Fearow, and Staravia surrounded him.
"Get out of the way you bitches!" he exclaimed.
"You do not belong here. Now that the 'leaf people' are gone you hav no place here. You are no longer the 'protector' of this area." One of them said. This one was bigger than the others, a Fearow, who thought he knew what he was talking about.
"The 'leaf people' are the ones who convinced me to protect this area. Although, I highly doubt that you bastards deserve it." Said the grass snake.
"How dare you! Pidgeotto! Gust!" a large Pidgeotto said.
"I won't stand for this! Fearow! Drill peck!"
"It's our turn! Staravia! Wing Attack!"
The attacks came at him all at once. If these bitches thought they could beat him, they were wrong! He started off with Hidden Power and Leaf Tornado. Hopefully this would do a significant amount of damage. He had never faced this many opponents at once before …
After that was a Magical Leaf. When he noticed that his attacks were being cut in half he used Gastro Acid on the Staravia. This would get rid of their Intimidate ability for a a while. He then used Twister and Hidden power. This knocked the Fearow out of the sky, and left him to deal with a few Staravia plus all of the Pidgeotto. Ugh!
He used Leaf Tornado again, this time the attack doing its full damage. Some Pidgeotto fell to the ground, followed by a few Staravia. There were about two of each left, which left only one thing. He had learned this attack not too long ago. By all rights he shouldn't even be able to perform it. But grass type moves had come naturally to him, even when he was a Snivy.
He took a deep breath and prepared himself. The birds tried to get at him but he sent glares their way, paralysing them in place. He let a torrent of leaves soar toward them, performing the new attack: Leaf Storm!
The remaining flying types fell to the ground and were knocked out. The snake hissed angrily and turned around. He saw a 'leaf child,' a Blaziken, and a Ralts staring at him.
"What do you want? Are you here to tell me I 'don't' belong too?" he snapped.
"We …" the Leaf Child said.
"I don't fucking care! I am so pissed off right now. I want to battle!" the Servine said.
-separater-
Kaji blinked as the creature yelled at them.
"That's a Servine." Kilak said.
"A grass type? I can take him easily." Said Blade.
"No! I refuse to fight pokemon that have been tainted by trainers. Leaf Child! I am fighting you!"
"Lleaf Child?" asked Kaji.
"That is the common name for elves." Explained Blade.
"Fine," said Kaji, stepping forward.
" … just be careful." Said Blade. The boy nodded and glared at the Servine.
-separater-
The Servine started out with a Wrap attack. He coiled his body around the boy, letting his 3'6 squeeze the life out of him.
"Do you really think this will work?" asked Kaji. He smirked at the pokemon and let electricity flow throughout his body. This shocked the snake, making him drop to the ground in surprise.
So much power …
"Surely you are not using your natural abilities. What was that?" asked the snake. Kaji shrugged and got into a fighting stance. Servine tried to trip him with Grass Knot, but the boy slashed through it. He smirked and shot electricity at the grass type. The attack did massive damage!
What the fuck?
After ten minutes of punching and kicking the snake had it. He shot Gastro Acid at the boy, making him splutter and cough. Then he used a toxic, and bit the boy's left arm. This made the boy cry out in surprise. Servine quickly slammed his tail into the boy to make him fall over. He hissed triumphantly from on top of his victim and glared at the two other pokemon.
-separater-
Kaji was freaking out. Why wasn't he able to attack as easily. His claws weren't even working at all! What was he going to do? Physical fighting would have to do. Even the electricity wasn't working that well.
After punching the shit out of the snake he thought he was done. As he prepared to walk back to the others, he found himself covered in something that smelled terrible. He then gasped as a toxic substance began to cover his body. Teeth were sunk into his arm, making him feel numb.
He tried to shock the snake but to no avail. Fangs were making him wish that he could just burn the stupid snake. He grit his teeth to keep from screaming. The pain was intense, doubled by the Mightyena's poison from earlier. Things just weren't going his way.
Wait! Pain … Why did that matter? He found himself growing slightly hard at the thought of pain. What the fuck? Then everything went … his surroundings … Blade, Kilak, and the Servine … … …
-separater-
Blade watched Kaji fall to the floor and growled.
"You do realize he is already under the influence of poison don't you?" he said, going over to the elf. Servine pulled out his fangs and smirked at the Blaziken. When kilak Glared at him he flinched. The fact that something so small could freak him out was astounding. What was going on?
"He is … a 'leaf child' should be able to survive a simple Toxic." The snake said.
"He was bitten by a Mightyena's Poisoned Fangs. I was unable to completely cure him of the poison's effects." Admitted Ralts.
" … so that means what?" asked the Servine.
"He has the secondary effect. He shall take twice the damage for a few days. You bit him as well, do you expect him to recover from that with the lingering effects of another poison?" growled Blaziken as he gently placed Kaji's still body on his lap.
"I am sorry. I didn't know. I shall cure him of my poison." Said the grass type.
"How do you expect to do that? If you are thinking of using your own natural toxens to fix this … it won't work completely …" said Kilak.
"What do you mean?" asked the snake.
"It will work as far as clearing the toxic's effects. The poison from your own body will then take over. That may kill him." Said Kilak.
"I …" started the snake.
Kilak gave him an intense stare.
"There might be a way to rid him of the toxens. You will have to bleed the poison out." Said Ralts.
"My name is Briar by the way." Said the Servine.
"Why are you telling me this? You are the 'protector' of this area. Won't you just stay here?" asked the psychic type.
"Stay here? If you were able to hear any of the bullshit those birds were saying … I 'do' not belong here anymore. They see me as the reason for the disappearance of the 'leaf people.'" The snake told him.
"You still have no reason to come with us." Said Ralts.
"I have a reason." Said Servine.
"what is that?"
"I was very impressed by the boy. He intrigues me and I respect him. Most would have stood down or tried to yell at me, yet he did not. He fought, even when he was clearly losing energy. That isn't something you see every day."
Briar looked toward the elf and hissed sharply. Kilak turned his head to read Kaji's aura.
"His skin is turning darker, he doesn't have much time left." Said Servine.
"Kilak!" cried Blade as he tightened his grip on the elf in his arms. The Blaziken had told him off for calling him 'Blade' earlier, this was no act.
Kilak made his way over to the elf and the fire type.
"We should try to find some kind of antidote. If you can bleed out the poison Briar …" said Kilak.
"I can do that." Said the snake.
"You will need to drink his blood. When it tastes clean then you should insert your toxens. An antidote will allow us to get rid of those. With your toxens in his blood stream he will live for a while longer." Said Kilak. The psychic type glared at Blaziken to get his attention.
"Blade we will need to go get an antidote from Cherry Grove. There is only one problem …"
"What is it?" asked Blade as he gently brushed a strand of hair from Kaji's forehead.
"We have no money. Kaji has none as far as I know." Said Ralts.
"I think I can help with that." Replied Servine. The two pokemon stared at him questioningly.
He muttered under his breath for a moment before producing some leaves.
"The owner of the shop is a collector of rare items. You may be able to give a few strands of your hair as payment. I am sure he will except these." The snake said as he held out the leaves.
"Thank you," said Blade.
"We shall go into the city. I would let you go by yourself but you don't know what we need Blade. Besides, I don't like speaking in human speech much." Said Kilak.
"I can see why. That human we dealt with in New Bark was rather annoying." Said Blade. Servine gave them weird looks and then slithered over to the elf.
"If you hurt him again I shall kill you myself. Don't think I'll hesitate." Said Blade with a low growl following his words. He allowed Kilak to climb onto his arm and gently laid Kaji on the ground.
"I will bleed the poison out then. I trust you two can be back in time to give him an antidote." Said the snake.
"We will. Don't even think something so horrible." Said Kilak as they left for Cherry Grove.
-separater-
They entered the shop and Blade started to look around.
"We will need bandages and some kind of poison antidote." Kilak told the fire type.
"Right," said Blade. The shopkeeper noticed them and made his way over.
"It is nice to have customers. … um sir?"
"yes?" asked Blade.
"What exactly are you? I could swear you look kind of like a Blaziken but I have never seen that coloring before. You also don't look avian enough …" the shopkeeper asked.
"I am a Blaziken. It is a wonder what an elf can do to change the body of a pokemon." Said Blade. The owner's eyes widened in shock.
"I am sorry. I never …"
"It is alright. It's not like I can deny any of your claims." Said Blade.
"What did you need sir?"
"Don't call me sir. I need some bandages and a poison antidote." Said Blade.
"Antidote? Is this for a human, pokemon, or some other creature?" asked the owner.
/Does it matter./ asked Kilak. The owner looked surprised for a moment and then replied,
"Yes it does. I will need to use different ingredients if this is for a non-human."
"It is an elf." Said Blade.
"normal or hybrid?" asked the shopkeeper.
"You know that most elves to date are either dead or hybrids." Said blade bitterly.
"Still …"
/Hybrid with electric and steel type pokemon dna if you really need to know./ said Kilak.
"This Ralts prefers to communicate with humans through telepathy." Said Blade as he watched the human's face turn pink in embarrassment. He had been staring at the Ralts hanging off of the Blaziken's shoulder.
"… right … I can get the antidote. Is that going to be it?"
"If you have something for Mightyena poison that would be great as well." Said Blade. The human shook his head and smiled at the Blaziken seductively.
"I can get anything for you baby."
/He is already taken./ growled Kilak. The human's eyes widened and then a grin spread across his face.
"So who is it then?" he asked.
"The very one I require the antidote for." Said Blade.
"Alright … so you are wanting to save your elven friend?"
"He is much more than my friend." Growled Blaziken. Small flames licked at his wrists, making Kilak jump slightly.
/I will stay here. Maybe I can check out the Mightyena poison antidote. I might be able to see if the substance is compatable with Kaji's aura./
"Alright, I am going to get him." Said Blade. He took a deep breath and placed Kilak on the counter. He glared at the owner, making sure he got the message to stay away from both him and the elf.
-separater-
Back at the clearing Servine had just finished bleeding out the poison. The boy was going to die without help He could just ell by the amount of poison he had taken out of his blood. With that much blood loss he would surely die …
Blade left the shop with blazing onyx eyes.
Save your elven friend my ass! I would protect him even if he rejected my feelings.
He leapt into the air and closed his eyes. He snapped them open a few minutes later and bent his knees. Then he let his body drop to the ground, landing near the snake and Kaji. He was going to save the elf even if it killed him.
"I just finished bleeding out the poison. I fear that it is worse than I anticipated." Servine said.
"I thought it might be. You don't know the extent of the damage caused by the Mightyena's poison. I am fairly certain something else might be causing this to worsen as well …" said Blade.
"Was he a part of the experiments at one of those facilities?" asked Servine.
"Do you even know what happens there?" asked Blade.
"I have heard of it once. I am not sure what to believe." Said Briar.
"I might as well tell you then …
The elves who are taken to them are tortured. My first master said that they are 'broken,' fucked, and then have dna shoved down their throats."
"Master? He is not your first trainer?"
"He is not my trainer. It may say so on his 'trainer' information but that will never be the relationship we share." Said Blade.
The snake gave him a questioning look.
"My first master was another elf. He escaped from one of the facilities and found me fighting against a pack of Mightyena. That is one of the reasons I am so protective of Kaji. I want to rip that monster to shreds who nearly killed him before."
"A pack of Mightyena? Were you just a Torchic then?"
"Yes I was. My master always said I was exceptionally strong for a pokemon so small."
"You mentioned that one. Was there another?" asked Briar.
Blade nodded, picking up the unconscious Kaji.
"My first master fell in love with me, even though it was against the elven customs. He claimed that he was done with that life. Breeding and falling in love with a pokemon is deemed 'dirty' by the elven culture."
"I know. A colony of elves used to live here. They were all captured and taken from here." Said Servine.
"I was not attracted to him in any way. Our relationship was of that of two brothers. I agreed to give him the child he asked for. That child was my second master."
"What happened to the first one?" asked Briar.
"He was captured. The second one spent some time in a facility as well and escaped. He found me and refused to even touch me for many years. The shock of having a pokemon that wasn't going to fuck him was too much."
"They did that? So the rumors are true?" asked the grass pokemon.
"Most likely." Said Blade.
"So … what became of the second 'master?'" asked Servine.
"He was captured a second time. We were with another elven escapee that had become our friend. He was also master's crush. They were both too stupid at times to figure out they were meant for each other."
"Master was captured and the other elf was injured pretty badly. I was injured as well. When the other elf was able to move he vowed to get master back. He sealed me in my poke ball with a spell and took me to Professor Oak's lab here in Johto. It was there where I met Kaji."
"Met?"
"Well … it was sort of an accident actually." Said Blaziken. It was clear by the glare he sent Servine that he would say no more on the matter.
He leveled a second glare on the snake and then his eyes softened as he looked down at Kaji.
"You really care about him don't you?" asked Briar.
"It is much more than that. I love him." Said Blade.
"You might want to get on my shoulder or something." Said Blade.
"Why?" asked the grass snake.
"Have you heard of the Blaziken myth about flying?"
The snake nodded his head.
"It is half true. Our jump is nearly as good as flying. It's just not as long. I would rather you not squeeze the life out of me by riding on my neck."
"Alright." Said Servine. Blade adjusted his grip on Kaji and knelt down in front of the snake. He held out his arm and the grass pokemon slithered onto it. He made his way to the fire pokemon's shoulder and coiled around it tightly.
"Hold on tight. You may want to close your eyes." Instructed Blade. The snake's body tightened around his arm as the Blaziken took to the air. He stayed there for about five minutes and then bent his knees to land. The landing was smooth and easy. Servine slithered to the ground and puked as they landed.
"You alright?" asked Blade.
"yeah, I couldn't get my eyes to close. That was amazing, and very scary." Said Briar. Blade chuckled and held his arm out again. After jumping for a few minutes the snake was able to reach his wrist. He coiled around it and watched as Blade shifted the elf in his arms. They began to move toward the shop, which was no more than ten feet away.
-separater-
Kaji snapped his eyes open and gasped. His lungs felt like they were on fire, his throat burned, and he felt like he was on fire as well.
"Blaze?" he whispered.
"yes Kaji?" asked Blade, putting a hand in one of Kaji's.
"What happened after I battled against that 'crazy ass' snake?"
The 'crazy ass' snake chuckled. Kaji sent a glare in his direction which made the snake stop immediately.
"You passed out from the Toxic. He then voided it out with his own toxens. I brought you to the local shop to find an antidote. With Kilak's help I was able to get some." Said Blaziken.
Servine slithered over and onto the bed. Kaji growled as the snake coiled near his legs.
"You most likely have a fever." Said Briar, feeling the extreme heat rolling off of the elf.
"You do have one. This is a good thing though. It means your body is fighting." Said Kilak, as he jumped onto Kaji's lap. The hybrid absently carded a hand through Kilak's short hair. Blade smiled at him and ran a hand through Kaji's hair. A contented sigh could be heard from the elf.
The shopkeeper took this time to come into the room.
"I have brought the antidote for Servine poison." He announced as he came into the room. He handed it to Blade and stared at the sight before him. The Blaziken was holding hands with the elf. There was a Servine coiled near the boy and the Ralts from earlier was in his lap.
Weird …
"You will need to put some of that directly into your blood stream. The rest you must drink." Said the shopkeeper. Kaji nodded and shivered.
"Blade?"
"Yes Kaji?"
"Hold me." Said the elf. The tone of his voice was what had the Blaziken drawing the boy into his arms. Kilak glared at the human before sitting at Blade's feet.
Blade pulled Kaji into his lap, letting the elf's head fall under his own.
"I shall be the one to insert the needle." Blade whispered against Kaji's ear. The elf shuddered, feeling his member stir.
"I can live with that." Said Kaji. Blade was given a needle which he quickly inserted into the boy's arm. After enough of the antidote was put into Kaji's blood stream he handed the bottle of antidote to the elf.
Kaji sniffed the antidote before groaning.
"What's in this?" he asked.
"The poison of a Mightyena, Arbok, Seviper, and Servine." Said the shopkeeper.
"… using three poisons to counter one … That is a rather interesting way of curing poison." Said Kaji. He poured the liquid down his throat, nearly puking it back Up. He clamped his mouth shut, letting his head fall against Blade's shoulder.
"I found something that might work on Mightyena poison." Said the owner of the shop.
"What's in it?" asked kaji.
"… uh … Servine poison, Dragonair scales, and Blaziken hide …"
Kaji blanched and clutched onto Blade's hand tightly.
"Blaziken hide?" asked Blade in disgust.
/What the fuck did you think you were doing human?/ asked Kilak angrily.
He turned his dark red orbs on the human.
/You don't use ingredients like that on elves./
"I have always done that. I am part of an organizationn that recovers elves from the 'facilities.'" Said the man.
/Agency? If you work with recovering elves you should know about their aversion to meat and pokemon ingredients. The Blaziken hide is especially distasteful./
"I never had any opposition to it." Replied the man.
/That is horrible! It is like stripping them of their heritage and powres./
"What do you mean?"
/To force an elf to eat such is … It's so wrong! By doing so you make them a blood thirsty animal. That of which is what they call humans. Meat is not something their bodies know what to handle. It pulls them to crave it and destroys them. To do so … it's like turning them into a human!/
"I …"
"You work with them and never knew that?" asked Blade. Kaji looked up and glared at the human.
"You know of elves? You think you do that is. What do you know of us? Something so obvious should be known by the rescuer of elves."
"Do you remember any more Kaji?" asked Kilak.
"Not really … I think … this 'facility' sounds kind of familiar … Is it possible that I was at one of them?"
"It might be." Said Briar. Kaji blinked, not expecting the snake to speak.
"My name is Briar. If you would permit it I would like to accompany you on your journey." The snake said.
Kaji thought for a moment and then said,
"What about the 'trainer' thing? You were spouting off about how you despised 'trainers.'"
"I do. I can see however, that you are not like that. You may hold 'trainer' status but Kilak and Blaziken are clearly not your 'slaves.' They will no longer call you master than you will call them mindless."
"That's for sure. Are you sure? If yu make this decision you probably won't come back to this area." Said Kaji.
"I am sure." Said Briar.
He slithered along the floor and in front of the elf. Kaji laid a hand on his head and rubbed absently at the scales. Briar hummed a bit, liking the touch. Blade growled and the snake backed off.
"You evolve into Jalorda or what is also called Serperior correct?"
"yess …" said Briar.
"Just thought I would make sure." Said the elf. The human cleared his throat.
"You may have anything you need from this shop. It is the least I can do for trying to give you something that may destroy you." He said.
/may? It will destroy him!/
"okay … it will …" said the human.
"Thank you. I think we shall look into that later. I have something I still need to do before officially starting my journey." Said Kaji.
"Can you even stand up?" asked Kilak.
"Not sure …" said Kaji.
Kilak and Servine moved out of the way as Kaji attempted to stand up. He shifted most of his weight to his feet so he could hopefully find his balance. This didn't work. Blade's arms caught him around the waist as he started to tilt.
"I guess not." Said Kaji.
"I can give you some blood if you need it." Said the human. A glare from Blade had him backing away.
"I think you have done enough for now. I need pokemon blood anyway. I don't know how I know, but human blood will only make me sick." Said Kaji.
"You will need enough blood for a transfusion. Can you handle that?" asked Kilak.
"I should be able to … Blaze?"
"I can provide that. The question is will it work?"
"It should. Your aura is compatable with his." Said the psychic type. Nodding Blade pulled hinself and the elf into the chair once more. He slashed open his arm and showed the elf.
"That might be too much." Said Kaji.
"I'll be fine." Said Blade. Kaji closed his eyes and latched onto Blade's arm. The smell of blood was reminding him of pain …
{… blood … fire … burning … shock!}
What?
Kaji pulled away and glared at the human, who had moved to the doorway.
"I wouldn't mind a bit of privacy." He said. The human nodded and left. Kaji brought his mouth back to the still bleeding cut on Blade's arm.
{… pain … pleasure … pain is all that matters …}
Huh?
Kaji could feel his pants tightening as he drank the blood. The strange images that were flashing in his mind didn't help. He could feel the pain in short waves, as if it were happening. It was so arousing and made him want to give Blade access to every part of his body …
He jerkily pulled away and clutched Blade's shoulders tightly.
"Kaji?" asked Blade.
The elf-boy didn't hear him.
"Kaji? Are you alright?" asked Kilak.
Still no response.
"Kaji?" asked Briar. He didn't know the elf too well but an unfamiliar voice might help.
No luck.
Kaji slid his arms around Blade's waist and sunk his teeth into the pokemon's neck. Blade couldn't hold back the soft moan that passed through his lips. His eyes dialated in pleasure, making it hard to think.
"Kaji?" he asked, trying to break the boy out of his weird state. Kaji moved down, latching his mouth on one of Blade's nipples. The fire type closed his mouth and grit his teeth. What was he going to do ...
Before he could think of anything Kaji's hand found his cock. It was half hard by now, but instantly hardened all the way with the elf's touch. Flames licked at Blade's wrists, making him want to push the elf to the floor and fuck him. This seemed to have an effect on Kaji. He pulled away and tried to reach for the pokemon's wrist. Blade lifted both hands up and forced the flames to disperse.
Kaji's amber eyes widened when he realized what he'd been doing.
"I'm sorry Blade. I didn't want to do that when I was unaware. I am not sure why I did …"
"It's alright. If you wanted me to fuck you, you could have said so." Replied the Blaziken.
"That wasn't … maybe later … I get the feeling that I am not ready for that yet."
{… so much pain … blades … ropes … forced entry … no!}
Kaji shuddered and sagged against blade's neck.
"What's wrong?"
"I keep getting these … memories is the best way to describe it … I'm so confused …" said Kaji.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out." Said blade.
"yeah, I still want to get that errand ran for Prof. Oak. Then, we can come to the pokemon center and get some sleep." Said Kaji.
"Sounds good." Said Blade.
"I have a question?" asked Servine from the floor.
"yes?" asked Kaji.
"Do you believe in poke balls? I would rather not deal with one."
"It might be a good idea for both you and Kilak to have one." Said Kaji.
"Me and Kilak? What about that overgrown Avian?" asked the serpant.
"I am not an overgrown avian. If you hadn't noticed, I don't really look that much like a Blaziken." Said Blade.
"I was wondering about that." Asked Kaji.
"Let's just say … I mated with an elf. It changed me a lot. I will tell you the full story some other time. It is way too long for right now."
"I'll hold you to that." Said Kaji, standing up. He steadied himself on the chair and stood up straight. He smiled at Blade and knelt down for Kilak.
The Ralts jumped onto his arm and quicly climbed onto his shoulder.
"You can ride coiled around my neck until we figure something else out." Said Kaji to the Servine.
"Thank you. I am sorry for poisoning you again." Said Servine, as he slithered up Kaji's arm and then coiled aabout his neck.
"One thing though … if you try to choke me for any reason, I shall kill you. I am sure that Blade has already given you a death threat."
"yess he has. I will do my best not to. You don't like flying or anything do you?"
That got Kaji to laugh. Blade and Kilak joined in soon afterward.
"Not that I know of. If I was at a 'facility' who knows …" said Kaji.
"It is possible …" hissed Servine.
"I wouldn't know how to control such an ability if that's true." Said Kaji as he left the room.
He leveled a glare at the human as he came back into the main part of the shop.
"I will be back here later. It might be tonight, or tomorrow. I do not want you to use pokemon ingrediants on elves anymore. If you are uncertain of something you want to use contact me." Said Kaji. He gave the owner of the shop his pokegear number and left the shop.

He battled a few trainers on his way to the north of Cherry Grove. A boy stopped him and gave him a pouch to carry berries. When he passed the berry tree again a man gave him a few berries. He was able to put two of each Oran, Sitrus, Pecha, Chesto, Cheri, Persim, and Tomato into the bag. He thanked the man and continued onward.
It was nearing night time when he made his way to Ms. Pokemon's house.
"I am sorry I got here so late." Said Kaji as the door was opened.
"It is quite alright. I don't go to bed until late anyway." A woman's voice said. Kaji guessed that she was in her early twenties or so.
"I am the grandaughter of Mr. Pokemon. Come in, Kaji." She said.
She led them into a room and gestured for them to sit. She left the room and came back with a case.
"In this case is a pokemon egg. I am not sure which one it is. I foun it on my travels in Orre. It was just lying there near an abandonned building."
"I didn't see anything wrong with the outside of the building. There probably was something wrong though. I could smell a lot of blood and burnt flesh." The woman said.
Wow …
"I would like you to have Gary look at this." She said, handing the case to Kaji.
"I can do that." He said.
"Thank you. My first name is Patricianna. That is what I am labeled as in your pokegear. If you ever find a strange item or something you can call me. I know a lot about items and pokemon evolution."
"Why aren't you a pokemon professor then?" asked Kaji.
She sighed and then said,
"I don't want the title. It is a lot of schooling too. The knowledge I have I got through life experiences. I was a trainer." Said the woman.
/Sounds like me./ said Ralts.
"You wish to speak with me? I am so glad someone does. I am honored to be able to hear you Ralts." Said the lady. Kilak nodded and closed his eyes.
"Kilak has a tendency to only speak in a human language when I'm the only non-pokemon around." Said Kaji.
/Non-pokemon? You are by rite, as much of a pokemon as I, Servine, or Blaziken./
"Alright then … He doesn't like to speak to anyone without telepathy that isn't a pokemon or myself." Said Kaji.
"That's fine, I admire that. Why use a gift if most won't give a shit?" asked MS. Pokemon.
"I have kept you way too long. I think I'll let you go now. Give my regards to Gary." Said Patricianna. Kaji got up and made his way to the door, hand in hand with Blade.
"Kaji,"
"yes?"
"Tell Gary I still like girls. He won't stop trying to get into my pants."
"Sure," said Kaji.
A few minuts later Kaji's pokegear started vibrating.
"So now I pray to my nation destroyed under god
(Say it's the end of the world)
All my battles have been won
But the war has just begun
Let's watch it burn
Let's watch it burn
Let's watch this city burn the world
Let's watch this city burn
From the skylights on top of the world."
The ring tone surprised him a bit but he answered anyway. It was the one saved, and he didn't think it was that bad.
"Hello?"
"Kaji it's Gary. We have a problem."
"What happened Professor?"
"… it's one of the pokemon I kept here …" said Gary.
"Which one?"
The line went dead before he could get an answer.
"What the fuck?" asked the elf.
"Who would steal a pokemon from that lab? It is pretty easy to become a trainer." Asked Kilak.
"Someone who is desperate no doubt." Said Kaji.
"Probably." Said Ralts.
They made their way back to Cherry Grove city with no problems. Kilak deemed himself strong enough, and the other two didn't feel like battling. They stopped and healed Kilak and Briar at the pokemon center. When they came out someone ran into Kaji.
The boy had long red hair and silver eyes. Blade glared at the boy, helping Kaji up.
"Watch it," said the red head.
"Who are you anyway? What's the hurry for?" asked Kaji.
"Name's Thorn."
"Thorn?" echoed Kaji.
"Yeah, does it fucking matter?"
"Not really I guess … What are you trying to do anyway? You're going to hurt yourself going that fast."
"… never mind … If you know so much let's battle."
"Seriously?"
"yeah, you and me right now. Two on two."
"Fine," said Kaji.
-separater-
"Go! Sneasel."
"I'll take this one." Said Servine, as he slithered to the ground.
"What's this? How did you get a Servine?" asked Thorn.
"he found me actually." Said Kaji.
"Use Icy Wind!"
"Use Vine Whip to tie up the Sneasel."
"yesss …" said Briar as he did just that. He then threw the other pokemon a few feet away. He quickly shot a Leaf Tornado toward the Dark/ice type.
Sneasel was able to get up but just barely.
"Use Powder Snow on that grass type." Said Thorn. Sneasel gave a battle cry and loosed some snow from his mouth. Servine shot out vines to stop the snow. It did no good, they were just frozen.
"use Leaf Tornado, Hidden Power, and Swift." Said Kaji. He was looking up the moves that Servine knew in his pokedex. The snake should be able to do the moves, having done a two move combo before. The three attacks knocked out Sneasel, leaving a very angry Servine in his wake.
"Return. Choose another pokemon for this round. I am going with … Cyndaquil!" said Thorn. The fire mouse popped out of the poke ball and cried,
"Come and get me!"
"That's not even threatening." Said Kilak, sliding down from Kaji's shoulder.
"You'll take him on Kilak?" asked the elf.
"Sure, why not? It's not like a level nine will be much of a threat to me." Said Kilak.
"Show them how much of a threat you are! Use Ember!" instructed Thorn.
"I got it." Said Kilak as he shot psychic waves at the mouse.
Psyshock. Nice. And that Cyndaquil can't know Ember yet. He must be abusing it or something. That's the only way …
The mouse didn't think it was nice. He kept getting slammed to the ground by the psychic blasts.
"use Ember again, and then use tackle!"
"I know what to do." Said Ralts. He teleported behind Cyndaquil and then used Confusion. The mouse fell over, unable to land any attacks.
"Damnit! Get up Cyndaquil!" ordered Thorn. The mouse forced itself to get up and glared at Kilak.
"you are no threat to me." Said the psychic type.
"Really? Prove it!" cried the mouse.
"Fine," said Kilak. He concentrated electricity to his left arm and smirked at the mouse.
"Use Quick Attack Cyndaquil!"
As the rodent came toward him Kilak slammed his now glowing fist into the moving body. The Thunder punch did massive damage. So much that it knocked the Cyndaquil out.
"What?" asked Thorn. Kilak smirked at the red head and jumped onto Kaji's shoulder once more. Servine smirked as well and coiled around the elf's neck.
-separater-
"You lost." Said Kaji.
"I realize that. How did you do it? I mean your pokemon are obviously higher level, but I never saw you look at them once."
"I am confident in their ability to battle on their own. They have been doing so for quite some time. Why look at the battle when I don't need to?" asked Kaji. The red head blinked.
"Don't have to?"
"I'm blind. Thought it was obvious." Said Kaji.
"No." said Thorn.
"I might as well get going." Said Kaji.
"Wait," Thorn said, grabbing ahold of Kaji's shoulder.
Even a growl from Blaziken didn't make him loosen his grip.
What's your name? I wouldn't mind battling you again."
"I will tell you if you tell me why you took the Cyndaquil from the pokemon lab. It's not like Cyndaquil wander around here."
"I … I have my reasons. Just know that I am trying to make things right. You may be able to help with that eventually …"
"I guess I can take that as an answer. My name is Kaji."
"Kaji?"
"Kuro Kaji."
"Alright … see ya around Kaji." Said Thorn as he let go and left.
"jealous?" asked Kaji to Blade.
"yes, but only a little. I know that you had to have a good reason for letting him touch you."
"I did. If he wanted my trust at all, I had to let him."
"That makes sense. He seems like an okay person, although he has criminal tendencies." Said Blade.
"Criminal tendencies? How do you define that? If you go by 'criminal' I might almost be considered that." Said Kaji.
Blade stared at him in shock.
"What are you talking about?"
"I am not sure … I think I might have an answer eventually." Said Kaji.
"Okay … let's get to the lab. You two can talk about this when your in a bed fucking okay?" said Kilak. Blade went red and kaji swatted the Ralts on the horn.
Whatever you say Kilak. One thing though …"
"What's that?" Ralts asked.
"During this 'fucking' you'll be listening. If I have to tie you to a chair or have Servine Vine Whip you ..."
"I …"
"Come on Kilak. I know you'd like it. Don't try to deny it." Said Blade.
They all laughed, except Kilak who crossed his arms and pouted.
"I guess …" he said finally.
"yes!" Kaji exclaimed as they were beginning to make their way to New Bark town. They could now deliver the egg to Gary and go back to Cherry Grove.
They dropped off the egg and made their way back to Cherry Grove. Gary had given Kaji six poke balls for his first captures. Kilak and Servine settled on the floor while the other two took the bed.
"I want you to hear what we do Kilak." Said Kaji.
"I … um …"
"It won't be that bad. I am sure that Kaji won't be ready for anything over … let's say … over nc-17 yet." Said Blade with a snicker. Kilak glared at the fire type.
"he's right Kilak." Said Kaji as he pinned Blaziken to the bed. He crushed his lips with the pokemon's. He licked Blade's lip, asking for entrance. Entrance which was gladly given …
