Well, back to this story again. I'll be honest starting a chapter is not easy, and let me tell you, you're in for a bit of hilarity at the beginning of this chapter.

Last time we ended with Octavia seeming to have a nice morning after so long of waking up to her parents fighting. It is without a doubt a hundred percent because of the human named Ash that she met… but now she's looking around the castle that is her home. Why? Well because it would seem that one of the Pokemon from the boy's world followed hers back.

Even though it was only a few seconds after she saw the creature leave her room yet somehow it had wandered away fast enough to not even see where it went. And being how big her home was, it could be anywhere and she could be looking for who knows how long. She saw it run around the corner which caused her to turn after it.

"Octavia?" She stopped and cursed under her breath as she knew that voice from anywhere. "Are you feeling okay?"

She slowly turned and looked up to see her father standing before her. "H-hey… dad." She says with an awkward smile. "W-why do you ask?"

"Well, you seem so full of energy this morning. Which isn't exactly-" He was saying before she cut him off.

"U-uh well, uh… I-I just uh was looking for… my… my phone."

"Your phone?"

"Yes, I… I don't remember… where I put it?" She says as she tried to make herself look convincing, though it didn't seem as though she needed to.

"Hmm, I see. In that case, I'll just send one of the guards out to go search for it. Surely they'll be able to find it in no time."

Hearing that made her look nervous. "O-okay then…" She says as he looked puzzled by her reaction, much less expression.

"Mmm-hmm…" All he did was nod his head. "Now, why don't you come to join me and your mother for dinner?"

"O-of course just uh… give me a second to… do… uh… something." She says as she started inching away.

Her father gave her a small laugh before making his way to the dining room. "Of course, no trouble at all." He says, looking weirded out before she scurried away and he sighed. "Kids are very odd these days."

As soon as she was out of sight, Octavia gripped her beanie, pulled it down, and scream into it. Now the guards would be looking for her 'phone' but they might find that Pokemon running around which did not help by any means. She made her way into the library and found the -in her words- little shit balancing itself on top of one of the bookshelves like a tightrope.

It was making little noises that signaled how happy it was before it suddenly lost its balance. The princess went over and held her arms out, hoping to catch it, but it regained balance and continued to happily trot along the shelf again as she kept her arms held out, hoping he did fall, though he stopped and bounced over to a ladder on the other side.

It slid down the ladder, before falling off, bouncing a bit. As she got in front of it, she saw that looked more like some kind of otter with a beavertail now that she was getting a good look at it. It sat up, rubbing its head then looking at the small shell on the ground, and simply picked it up before putting it on its stomach then hopped up, ready to leave.

"Wait, wait, no, no!" She quickly got in front of it as it stopped. "Hey, uh… little guy." She says while trying to look the least bit threatening. "Uh… l-look, I know this seems all overwhelming for you."

"Osha?" He says, looking puzzled.

"... Uh, come on, let's-"

"Princess Octavia." She quickly turned around, making sure that the Pokemon was out of sight. "Your mother wishes for you to join her for breakfast." It was one of the family's guards.

"Oh, uh… Y-yeah, I… I'll be there… I-I just need a minute." She tried to say.

"P-Princess Octavia, your mother-"

"I SAID I NEED A FUCKING MINUTE!" She shouted while giving him a death glare.

"Y-yes, ma'am." The guard says before he scurried away.

She sighed in relief. "Okay, little guy. Let's get-" She was saying before turning to find that the little otter was gone. "OH COME ON!"

So, Octavia was back to frantically looking around the castle for the Pokemon, sweat pouring down her face. Then she stopped in the middle of the hallway before looking out one of the windows to see him playing in the fountain, hopping, swimming around in it, all with a carefree smile on his face.

"How the fuck did it-?" She was saying before groaning.

About another minute later, she made it down to the fountain and looked around trying to find him, worried above all things. When she didn't see him around, she tried looking into the water and was even contemplating putting her hands in… until she looked up and her eyes widened.

"Are you fucking serious?"

So, another minute later, she had made it up to one of her home's balconies. She was panting and sweating, completely out of breath from all the running. She looked around and found the Pokemon on the railing, sleeping peacefully with a snot bubble growing and shrinking. She stared at him for a moment before picking him up and then started making her way back to her room.

As she entered, she placed him on her bed where he proceeded to wake up. "Alright, look, stay in here and don't make a sound." She says before leaving.

"Oshawott." He says while rubbing his eyes before going back to snoring.

(One hour later)

After an awkward breakfast with her parents, Octavia began to make her way back back to her room while pinching the bridge of her beak. After all that was happening, she wanted nothing more than to send that -again in her words- little shit back to where he came from.

"Hey, little buddy." She says while entering. "Rise and-" He was gone… again. "Mother… FU-!"

Where was he? Well, he was making his way through the halls, his presence going completely unnoticed by any of the guards thanks to his size and the fact that none of them looked down. He found his way to the balcony and then ran over to it before looking around frantically. Once he spotted his shell on the floor, his eyes sparkled as he was about to pick it up, before getting grabbed by the neck and pulled up.

"I told you to stay in my room." Octavia tells him.

"OSHAWOTT!" He then started shouting while flailing his arms about.

"Shut up! What do you…" She says before finding and picking the shell. "Is this what you want?" She asked as he stopped flailing.

"Oshawott!" He cheered as he grabbed the shell and hugged it happily as she sighed.

"You're a pain in the ass you know that?" She asked as it looked at her, puzzled. "Forget it. Look, if I'm gonna get you back to your world, you gotta work with me here." She says as she was about to leave until something caught her eye.

She looked down from the balcony and saw her father giving his book to a demon with goat horns before said demon got into his truck and took off with her father waving. She stared at the entrance, Pokemon looking at her without understanding, eye twitching, and only had one thing to say.

"Great."

(Even more time later)

Now, she was in the building of the demon, entering the elevator that already had a group of other demons as well. As the doors closed, she found the button for the floor she needed to get to already pressed. She decided to place the little Pokemon down since there really wasn't anywhere for him to go. Although, it felt pretty awkward to be in the small elevator with others.

The Pokemon was a little intimidated by the bigger demons, however, also seemed amazed by their presence of them. He looked up at the bulky wolf-like one with a scar on his left eye who looked down at him. Seeing this, he decided to try some tricks. He started balancing his shell on the tip of his nose while standing on one foot before bouncing it up and having it roll down before balancing it on his tail.

Seeing this, the bulky wolf chuckled a bit. "That's pretty cute." He then says to Octavia.

She just gave an awkward smile before looking away nervously. Once the elevator doors opened she took him and held him in her armpit while rushing for the door with IMP written on it, closing it as she entered.

"Welcome to IMP. Everyone's out at the moment." A wolf girl says in a bored tone as she was staring at her phone.

"Hey, Loona." She says as the wolf turned up to look at her.

"Oh, sup V. Up to hang?" She says while standing up from her desk and making her way over.

"Well, not exactly." Octavia tells her before the Pokemon wiggled its way out of her arm and fell onto the floor.

"What's up with the little beaver? You got a new pet or something?" Loona asked as the 'beaver' rubbed his head.

"Actually, he's the whole reason I'm here to begin with. You see uh…"

"Go on, got all day."

"I'll keep this short, this creature is not from Hell."

"Okay."

"You are listening, right?"

"Yeah, the little beaver is not from Hell. Go on."

"You're not the least bit fazed?"

"Not really, I could give less of a shit."

"Of course you don't. Listen I might've… taken my dad's book and left Hell, again-"

"Dang girl, you went rogue again? I respect that." Loona says with a smirk.

"Thank you. But yeah, so I went to this world that I thought was Earth but turns out it wasn't Earth I went to, I ended up going… somewhere else."

"Okay."

"Right, so I kinda need the book back so that I can bring this back to that world." Octavia then gestured down to the Pokemon who was clinging to the wolf girl's leg with hearts in his eyes… before she casually kicked him off. "DON'T KICK IT!"

"Relax. It's still in one piece."

"That's not the point! I don't want to bring it back with a fractured skull or anything."

"It's a beaver. No one makes beaver pets-" Loona began to say before she was suddenly blasted into the other wall with water. The little otter was seen with a glare on his face as the soaked wolf stared at him. "You little fucker!" She yelled as she charged and started chasing him around the room. "Get back here!"

Just as she was about to catch him, the Pokemon hopped up and blasted her to the floor with water from his mouth. Octavia facepalmed herself before walking over.

"Okay, okay, little guy. You can stop now." She says while holding her arms out as he stopped and landed in her arms with a victorious smile on his face as she sighed.

"Why you little-" Loona was about to attack again.

"Do. Not. Touch him." The princess says with her hand up.

"Are you kidding?! That little shit drenched me!"

"Well, consider that getting even after you kicked him, unprovoked." The otter pulled on one of his eyelids while blowing the wolf a raspberry which made her growl. "Enough!"

Loona groaned. "Look, why is it so important to get this thing back to whatever world you went to?"

"Because-I… I just… can we just get going?!" The princess says, getting annoyed.

"Fine, whatever. I'll go get the stupid book."

(A minute later)

"So, why the hell is there a symbol going to another world that looks exactly like the one to get to Earth?" Loona asked while drawing the symbol.

"I have no idea. Never used it before. Besides, my dad got it from Lucifer, so I don't know if even he knows." Octavia says while making sure the Pokemon didn't wander off again.

"Okay, got it."

As soon as the symbol was finished, it flashed which made the little otter fall over before the portal formed. Loona stood up and looked at her friend.

"Well, drop'em in."

"One second." Octavia says before changing to human form, amazing the Pokemon. "I wanna make sure it's the right place."

"Really?" Loona groaned as her friend's face didn't change. "Ugh, fine." She says before she began to glow and change to appear as a human as well. "Let's go." She then just let herself fall into the portal.

"Alright, come on little buddy." The princess then picked up the Pokemon before hopping in as the portal closed behind them.

"So, is this the place?" Loona asked as they looked around.

When seeing the giant windmill and fence, the princess nodded. "Yeah, this is it."

"Okay, well, what are you waiting for? Toss'em over the fence and let's get back."

Octavia nodded again and walked over to the fence before stopping as the little Pokemon stared up at her. She looked down, thinking for a second.

"A-actually, I want to stay for a little longer."

"What?" The wolf girl asked, looking annoyed.

"Just for a little longer. I just wanna see someone."

"Who?"

"Just-"

"Octavia?" They jumped before they turned to see an old man on the other side.

"H-hi, Mr. Oak. Is… there a problem." The princess says, nervously.

"No, but I had the impression you were still inside. Also, please refer to me as Professor, not Mr."

"Well, uh… there was a bit of a problem."

"Osha!" The Pokemon waved.

"Oshawott? What are you doing out there?" The man asked.

"Uh, well…"

"I found him." Loona spoke up. "He was out in the forest. V here says that he got out."

"Oh, well, thank you for bringing him back." The man says while taking the Pokemon into his arms. "I'm sure Ash would be worried sick if he found you were missing, Oshawott."

"Osha…" Said otter looked guilty.

"So, uh… is this Ash guy the one you wanted to see or something." Loona asked.

"Yes actually, can I come back in?" Octavia asked.

"Of course. You're welcome anytime. If you want, your friend can also join." Oak says.

"Eh, I think-" Loona was about to say.

"She would love to!" Octavia suddenly said.

"WHAT THE F-What are you doing?!" The wolf girl says between her teeth.

"Uh… give us a moment." The two girls got into a huddle and started whispering.

"What is this about?"

"I need you here so I can get back home."

"I agreed to get that little shit back here, I did not agree to extend my stay. Just text me or something."

"I don't know if the text'll go through from here to Hell. Please."

"Ugh, you're the pain the ass today. Alright, but you owe me for this." Loona then went and hopped over the fence with no problem as the princess followed behind.

"I have an entrance you can go through you know." The man says.

"Yeah, yeah. So, where this Ash guy exactly."

"He's over here playing with the other water-type Pokemon. I'll take you to see him." Oak says while gesturing to follow him.

Octavia followed as Loona didn't bother arguing anymore. As they were walking, a bird-like Pokemon perched on top of the princess' shoulder which she brushed off before they reached a pond where there was the laughing of the boy playing with water creatures. To this, the wolf girl sighed.

"So, how old is this guy?" She whispered to her friend who just rolled her eyes.

"Hey, Ash! I'm ba-" She was calling out before she saw him rise from the water.

He was only wearing his pants and his upper body was exposed. Glistening from the water as she saw that he had a full sixpack. Such a sight caused her to stare, eyes widened and unable to look away as her face started to turn red. She wasn't the only one as the same thing applied to her friend as well.

"Gotcha!" Ash says as he reached down and pulled up what looked like a blue baby crocodile. "You're fast, Totodile."

"Toto! Toto!" It says happily.

The girls were still staring before Loona brushed her hair behind her ear. "Damn girl, you know how to pick'em." She then says with a smirk.

"Shut up." Octavia slapped her arm.

"Octavia?" Ash says as he was making his way out of the water. "You're back already?"

"H-h-hey, Ash! Uh-uh, yeah I'm back uh… g-good to see you." She says back nervously.

"I thought you had to go back home or something."

"Well, as it would seem, Oshawott had gotten out." Prof Oak says while holding up said Pokemon.

"Osha!" The otter says while waving happily towards his trainer.

"Oshawott!" Ash says as he made his way over and picked said otter up. "What were you doing? You can't go running off like that." He says as the Pokemon looked guilty again. "I'm sorry, did he cause any trouble."

"Nope, not any trouble at all." The princess tells him.

"Yeah, not like he drenched me in water." Loona says with a bit of annoyance.

"Which you deserved." Her friend says with the same level of such.

"So, you're Ash, right?" The wolf girl then says as she stepped in front of the boy.

"Yeah, that's me. Are you Octavia's friend?" The boy asked.

"Pretty much yeah. The name's Loona."

"Nice to meet you."

"Pika!" Then Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder.

"This is my buddy Pikachu."

"Pika, Pika!" The yellow Pokemon says with his arm up.

"Heh, cute. See you're… an animal kind of guy right?" She asked as the bird girl was looking back and forth between them.

"Uh, what?"

"ANYWAYS!" Octavia butted in. "Glad to have brought uh, Osha… back to you." She says, forgetting the water Pokemon's name halfway.

"It's fine, thank you for bringing him back." The boy tells her with a smile as she pulled her beanie down to cover her face. "And you, buddy, you need to stop getting into trouble." He says while giving the water Pokemon in his arms a noogie before putting him down.

"H-he really wasn't that much trouble. Just… should really keep an eye on him in case of-" She was saying.

"What the fuck is that?!" Loona says as a huge crab made its way out of the water, causing everyone to step back.

"Calm down, it's just Kingler. He's actually pretty friendly." Ash assures them.

"Coo-kie, coo-kie." The large crab says in a deep voice as bubbles dripped from its mouth.

"Holy shit." The wolf girl says, bewildered.

"Amazing isn't it." Oak says while walking over and patting the Pokemon on the head. "It was quite surprising how small he was before evolving. Wasn't even big enough to even make it a snack and now look at him." He says proudly.

"Coo-kie…"

"... This world is insane." Loona whispered to her friend.

"You don't the half of it." Octavia whispered back. "Uh… so, Ash." She then says, getting the boy's attention. "It was nice to see you… again… but I gotta go."

"What? But you just got back." Ash says.

"Pikachu."

"Yeah, but I just… got… something that I… need to do so, I'll see you later."

"Man…" The boy says before sighing. "Fine, see you later Octavia."

"Y-you too. B-bye." She says while waving as she begins to leave.

"Finally." Loona says, looking relieved as she followed.

"Man, there she goes again." The boy says, looking saddened.

"I must say, those girls have a very odd sense of dress attire." Oak tells him.

As for the girls who were back in Hell, back in their normal forms. "Well, don't think I'm going back there anytime soon. Not with those weird animals anyway." Loona says while brushing herself off a bit. "Still, can't believe you decided to ditch your parents like that." She was saying before she saw her friend staring at the wall, a tint of red across her face. "V?... V, you good?" She then says while tapping her on the shoulder.

"Huh? What?" She says snapping out of her trance.

"You okay?"

"Uh, yeah, I'm uh… I'm okay."

"You still thinking about that kid, back there?"

"No, no, no I'm not. Not at all." She says while rubbing her arm.

"Look, I'm not gonna do nothin'. Sides, I can kinda see why you would be to be honest." The wolf girl then says before clearing her throat. "But like I said, he's also a kid… a human no less."

"It's not like that! Can you… can you please just keep this between us? I don't want ANYONE to know about this."

"Relax, I won't, you can trust me." Loona says, giving her a thumbsup which relieved her. "So, whatcha gonna do now?"

"I… I think I'm just gonna go back home. It's been a long morning for me." Octavia says as she begins to leave.

"Okay well, you do you." The wolf girl then says while taking out her phone and going back behind the desk.

After getting back home, she went to her bedroom and faceplanted onto her bed, tossing her beanie on her dresser. After all the trouble she went through with trying to catch that water Pokemon that was running around her parent's castle, she was exhausted and just wanted to sleep. Then, an image of the boy shirtless popped into her head.

Immediately, her face started to turn red before she grabbed her pillow and screamed into it. "What am I doing!" She shouted before taking it off her face. "A human… a fucking human… I shouldn't even…" She said to herself. "I shouldn't even feel like this. He's dense, oblivious… and so damn hot-OH FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!" She screamed back into the pillow.

She was mentally fighting with herself on what she should be thinking or how she feels. On one hand, while he seemed old enough, she didn't know his age and her being attracted to a human would be wrong, not to mention, her parents' reaction to it, especially her mother's. On the other hand, before she met Ash, she felt in other words, empty.

His upbeat and outgoing attitude really hit some part of her heart. It certainly was different than her parents' fighting and something different from being around the depressing parts of Hell, even the Stylish Occult was a bit gloomy at times. So as cliche as it may sound, perhaps maybe it wouldn't be bad to give it a try, right?

To be continued…
