Chapter 13: Looming Darkness

Author's Note: as one last hurrah for a while, I'm doing one more sex scene, won't be another one for a while. I feel like I've done a lot of them a bit too close together, and because it won't quite fit the narrative for a while going forward.

Pyre sat on the cliff ledge looking down over the camp from the waterfall, the only illumination being the moonlight, his dream somewhat faded from his mind. He'd only just realized how fleeting his memories of his dreams were, they were so vivid, he could feel them. He could still feel a numb pain on his shoulder, but he couldn't remember where it was from. He knew it happened during one of his dreams but it was like his memories had locked themselves off.

As he looked over the camp he didn't notice Cynder sitting down beside him. "Hey, what are you doing alone out here?"

"Oh, hey, I just had a dream, I was trying to remember it." He had a small smile as he looked at her. "Didn't mean to worry ya."

"You didn't have to leave the tent, you know? I'm always here for you."

"I know!" He gives her a sweet hug. "I appreciate it!" He slowly stands up. "Let's head back to bed."

Cynder nods and stands up, nuzzling him before turning away. As she starts to walk off Pyre noticed something. Among the beautiful violet color of the aura surrounding Cynder, there was a small tinge of pink inside her. Though the Charmander saw it, he didn't know what it meant, but simply followed behind her assuming it was just her loving nature.

*The Next Day*

Pyre walked through the forest with Aqua and Cynder beside him.

The Charmander had decided to take a stroll to help clear his head of the confusion of his now faded dreams.

Cynder had gone with him simply to keep him company should he need it.

And Aqua decided to take a break from helping with the younger pokemon so he could relax with his friends.

They were in the midst of a conversation.

"I just really think it was a bad idea to just pick a fight with Deoxys, I know we didn't have a choice, but still. It could've ended way worse if you weren't careful Pyre."

"Seriously, will you cut me some slack? The dude was too weak to beat me. Will you just relax?" Pyre dismissively waved his clawed hand as he stepped through some bushes and put his arms behind his head. "Seriously Aqua, chill out."

A voice suddenly spoke up. A deep menacing voice that frightened the two pokemon with him. "Oh, Pyre."

The fire type's eyes lit up as a wide and goofy grin covered his face. "Broooooo!" Without hesitation he ran forth to greet the Darkrai with a hug.

Shadow spoke again, his cold voice easing slightly. "It's been quite a while my friend."

"It really has been dude." Pyre glanced around a moment, before noticing Blade just behind Shadow. "Hey buddy! Wow, you've changed a lot. You look way stronger, and way cuter." Pyre gave a teasing wink to the Sneasel. Pyre waved Aqua and Cynder over. "Oh hey, let me introduce you guys." Aqua stepped up first. "This here is Aqua, you guys remember that Blastoise I wrecked. Meet his little brother, poor guy was being bullied by his brothers, now he's hanging out with me and he's had my back ever since."

"I do not remember such a Blastoise."

"Oh, wait wrong fight, you weren't there hehe, I found him with a group of nasty Wartortle.

Aqua spoke quietly. "H-hi, it's nice to meet you both." The Squirtle felt a familiar sense of dread at that gleaming crimson eye staring at him.

Cynder stepped up next. "And this gorgeous little lady is, Cynder, the love of my life!" Pyre was smiling and blushing like he never had before. Then he turned to Shadow and Blade. "Aqua, Cynder, these are my friends Shadow and Blade."

Cynder smiled at Pyre before greeting the other two. "It's a pleasure to meet you both."

Shadow took a bow out of respect. "I'm certain the pleasure is all ours Miss."

Blade took a bow beside him. "Yeah it really is our pleasure Miss Cynder."

"What are you doing out here anyway?" Pyre asked giving his usual smile.

"We've just been letting life lead us around" Blade smiled back as he grabbed Shadow's arm and leaned into him.

"That's the way to live guys." Pyre smiled at them and waved to all of them. "Come on guys, let's go, there's a beautiful lake nearby. We were just heading there when we ran into you."

"You didn't say anything about a lake." Aqua pointed out.

"Oh, yeah, I'm really forgetful today hehe!" The Charmander kept smiling.

"Pyre." Shadow spoke again. "What happened to your shoulder?"

The others stopped and looked at Shadow in confusion.

"Nothing's on either of his shoulders, Shadow." Blade stated, looking up at the Darkrai.

Shadow gently laid his clawed hand upon Pyre's shoulder. "There's a burn right here."

"I'm not sure how I got it. It uh…happened in a dream."

Shadow's single red eye narrowed. His own claw had perfectly eclipsed the mark. "Can the rest of you not see it?"

"We could, but I could've sworn Calyrex removed it." Cynder spoke up.

"Perhaps physically yes." Shadow removed his claw. "It isn't entirely there it seems. Can you even feel it?"

"Not really, I just remember it from a nightmare I had." Pyre shook his head. "But come on, let's not worry about that right now, you've gotta see this lake.

Before anyone could speak he strutted off again.

Within a short walk they reached the lake. The glistening water shone in the light of the sun. Pyre nodded at the view. "Yep, definitely someone tough living down there."

"You did not bring us out here to pick a fight with a stranger did you.

"Yeah, pretty much, ooh someone is coming right now."

The water erupted, spraying across the lake and it's shore. A large serpentine creature emerged, covered in blue scales, with large spiked fines protruding along it's back, and it's mouth perpetually open. A Gyarados. "Who the fuck are you!?"

"Potty mouth." Shadow abruptly said.

"Name's Pyre, and I wanna fight!"

"Might as well, it'd impress my friends to kick some ass, but since you're such a little guy, I'll go easy on ya."

"Ooh great, have a cover story for when I win!" Pyre had meant it playfully, but unfortunately only came across as arrogant and rude.

"You're a dead little guy." Gyarados spoke again.

Pyre stood beside Shadow smiling happily. Gyarados' aura flashed a dark red color. Pyre's eyes widened slightly. "You should get outta here guys." Pyre gestured toward Cynder and Aqua.

The squirtle didn't listen. "I'm not leaving you Pyre, I can help you."

"I'll say it so Pyre doesn't, you'll just be in the way if you stay. Blade, you should go with them, have some fun why don't you?" Shadow spoke coldly.

The Sneasel nods and gently pulls Aqua by the arm, getting the squirtle to follow him. "Come on let's go." Cynder followsd them closely knowing that as much as she loved to watch Pyre fight and have fun, he could do it better when he wasn't worried about her getting caught in the crossfire.

Once they were all out of range, Shadow floated back to give the fire type ample room to fight. "Have at him Pyre."

Pyre stretched his limbs happily. "Oh boy I'm getting excited! Hey don't hold it against me if I win okay!" The Gyarados roared as a group of water types fled deeper into the lake behind him. They stopped just a ways off watching from a distance. Pyre stepped up, smiling at Gyarados.

Before Pyre could do anything further Gyarados charged a massive attack and fired the massive hyper beam. If human research was to be believed this attack should have incinerated any opponent. But once the attack subsided, Pyre was left on his back coughing lightly. He shook his head and stood up. Dusting himself off and smiling, Pyre nodded before rushing forth, lacing his fist in energy he slammed a mega punch into Gyarados. The attack had little effect. Despite that, Pyre laced both fists in the same energy and let loose a barrage of punches straight into the water/flying type. Gyarados wasted no more time, abruptly blasting Pyre with a hydro pump.

The Charmander reeled from the attack, and before he could react Gyarados had leapt from the water and came crashing down upon him from above. The fire type was slammed into the ground hard.

Gyarados confidently moved off of Pyre, but when he did he felt fire engulf his body. The Charmander let loose a fire spin the moment he was able to move. Gyarados swept his tail toward Pyre, launching the Charmander toward the lake.

Shadow simply watched, Pyre was certainly much stronger than he was before. And the Darkrai felt a sense of pride at that knowledge.

Pyre stood up again and dusted himself off. "Ya know some people like fun banter during fights?"

Gyarados let loose another hyper beam with a loud roar.

"Okay, not the quirky banter type, that's fair." Pyre rushed forward, sliding under the attack only to cover himself in fire and blast off straight into Gyarados' face. He'd taken quite a liking to flare blitz since he learned it.

Gyarados lashed out with thrashing his body around attempting to smash the Charmander.

Each thrashing movement slammed Pyre back down into the ground mercilessly. Once Gyarados finished the attack he moved to look at his handiwork. He was stunned when he saw Pyre still standing, his bruised body glowing a deep orange as he suddenly closed the distance. Gyarados was confused after thrashing around, he wasn't sure exactly where Pyre was, and was thus unable to avoid it when Pyre used counter slamming his tail into the water/flying type. Still stunned Gyarados had no way of dodging Pyre's next move.

The Charmander charged his fist with a familiar golden energy and his fist crackled with electricity. "I learned this from an old friend!" His fist connected to Gyarados' face, and the resulting burst of electricity from the thunder punch subdued the water/flying type. Pyre jumped into the air pumping his fist. "Aawwwwww yeah! I did it! I friggin wooooooon! Hahahaha that was awesome!"

"Don't let it go to your head Pyre." Shadow turned away preparing to head off.

"Ah, don't sweat it bro, it's fine." Pyre followed him, putting his clawed hands behind his head in a relaxed fashion.

*Earlier*

The weavile laid back against a tree, gently bumping his head against it a few times. He was stressed, according to his master he was running out of time. His master was almost ready to return, but he needed Pyre dead now, and Xiphos hadn't gotten any closer to succeeding.

Minun sat at the ice types foot paws gently rubbing into them.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You…you looked stressed master I thought…I thought this might help ease you…"

"Well it isn't!" Xiphos didn't stop the Minun however, allowing him to continue his massage for a few moments before he stood up. Minun stayed seated as he looked up to Xiphos who suddenly, but rather gently kicked him into his back. And quickly planted one of his foot paws upon the electric type's face. "If you want to help me so badly, why not treat me properly? Lick!"

Minun tried to cower away at the weaviles angered tone, but was quick to obey, dragging his tongue up the weavile's sole.

"Again, whore!" Xiphos pressed him down a bit harder, not enough to hurt, but enough to prevent movement. "Don't stop until I tell you to." Minun once again did as instructed, carefully dragging his tongue across the sole upon his face. That only continued for a few moments before Xiphos suddenly moved over top of the electric type, kneeling down with his crotch in Minun's face. "If you do a decent job, I may let you finish this time."

The weavile was already growing stiff as he pressed his rod to Minun's lips. The electric rodent eagerly allowed his master inside and gently grabbed onto Xiphos' thighs so he could pull himself further upon that cock. In one swift movement Minun had taken the full length straight into his throat.

"Weeaaaa!" Xiphos moaned as he gripped the Minun's head using it as leverage to thrust as deep as possible. "Eager little whore!" And he began to thrust, hard, and mercilessly. Minun would've gagged, if he could, but his master had abused his throat so much over their short time together, his gag reflex was all but gone. "Look at you, not even choking on it anymore." He gently caressed the rodent's face. "Master is very proud of you. Keep going."

Minun swallowed around the member in his throat, the motion practically massaging his master's stiff shaft.

Xiphos abruptly pulled out of his mouth. And suddenly lifted the Minun and pressed him against the tree. "You love when I use you like this don't you?"

Minun placed his little hands upon the tree to hold himself up. And just as he finished preparing himself he felt the weavile behind him ram inside. "Y-yes master!"

The ice type began thrusting immediately, not allowing the Minun to adjust to the feeling. Minun felt pain at first, but after how much Xiphos had used him, it quickly subsided into pleasure. Xiphos shoved Minun's face into the tree and yanked his butt back by the tail as his thrusting picked up speed. The weavile was in heaven within his subordinate. "I'm getting close pet, do that thing I like, do it, and I'll let you finish wherever you want."

Minun felt himself squeezing the shaft within his rump as he moaned. "Miiiiin" with his moan his body pulsed with electricity sending jolts of pleasure through Xiphos.

"Viiiiiile!" Xiphos cried out as he felt himself emptying into his living fuck toy. Xiphos' orgasm didn't seem to last all that long as he very abruptly pulled out of Minun. He quickly sat down against the tree again panting heavily.

Minun sat down in front of his master.

"Well, where do you want to finish pet, I'm feeling generous."

"I…uh…don't know…"

"If you don't decide, I'll decide for you." Minun stayed silent for a few moments, offering no answer. "Stupid toy. Paws then." Xiphos held his foot paws close together. "You can finish on those, it's all you're worthy of. And since you may never get a chance again, you can even fuck them."

Minun kneeled in front of the weavile, hesitant at first, before diving in allowing his own stiffened member to run along the soles of his master's paws. They weren't particularly soft or smooth, but Minun didn't care. He hadn't been allowed to finish since Xiphos took him the first time. This was his one chance, and if it meant making love to his master's feet, that was fine by him.

The electric rodent couldn't contain himself, and he'd immediately started thrusting recklessly. "Good pet, fuck them hard." Xiphos spoke again, gently sliding his paws back and forth in a stroking motion.

"Nuuuun…" Minun moaned out, unable to resist even the slightest pleasure, he felt the intense euphoria of argasm wash over him as he spilled his seed over his master's paws. He had no chance to enjoy the afterglow of his pleasure, as it abruptly ended.

"Well done pet, now clean me up."

*Present, With Xiphos*

The weavile watched from a tree as Pyre walked away, trailed closely by a Darkrai. His eyes quickly glancing over toward where the seemingly beat up Charmander had just come from.

And he spotted Gyarados, barely conscious by the lake, a few other water types making jokes at his expense before swimming off. Now was the time. Moving quickly Xiphos stood before Gyarados.

"Fuck off, I've heard enough insults for one day."

"I'm not here to insult you. Don't you want revenge?" Xiphos beckoned him closer.

Gyarados leaned down toward him. "I'm listening."

The weavile gently reached out, touching his claw to Gyarados' face. The water/flying type didn't shout or scream as that familiar black claw mark burned onto his face. "His heart. First we attack his heart."
