[Author's Notes]
Impy on a roll, at 18,900 words, this is my absolute longest, and going to be my most controversial. For those of you reading, this story may not be my best, but it is what it is, this story was in my head for a long time and I wanted to tell it, and truly show the difference, as I had one of my characters ask in a previous story. The difference between a 'pokephile, and a human who loves a Pokemon'. I can only hope you enjoy the story.
.
The greatest enigma that can be found is the one within our hearts, how is it we can endure the most horrible sights and feelings in our minds and anything else a cruel world may inflict upon us, all thanks to the strength we find within our heart~

[Narrator]
[In the Alola Region, one of the most famous and mysterious phenomena that makes the region special, is its famous Totem Pokemon. Pokemon trained by Trial Captains to challenge and fight the Island Challengers in their rite of passage to challenge the Pokemon League.]
[Totem Pokemon, radiating power with their presence alone, a challenge for any trainer and even veterans are wary of fighting them. Capable of calling up allies in a moment's notice, and not only radiating power but also visually powerful. They are a mystery to many, and for some an aspiration and inspiration.]
[For others though, they can mean so much more as what they can do and what they possess makes…]
She grinned as she watched from her high-top perch in the room as down below, three mobsters were looking at a diagram of a bank building layout with plans for a heist. As the 'boss' began to tell his goons the plan, she used her vines to slowly lower a recording device to get everything on tape.
"Listen up dum dums, this is how the score's ganna go down, kapeesh?" The mob boss said to his goons while under a spotlight. "We're ganna hit da bank tomorrow at midnight, security ganna be weak an its ganna be under the cover of a night time fog! Safe's got all da money from the week still there and it won't be taken out till tomorrow, so we ganna hit it before den!"
"Ehhh how we ganna do dat boss?" One of the goons said.
"You nincompoop, we ganna smash in with my Tauros, melt the safe door handle with your Salandit's poison, and den levitate it out with Mookie's Shuppet! Before da cops will know it, we'll be swimming on easy street in our getaway boat that juuuust so happens to be leaving ten minutes after we make our getaway! And they won't even know who hit em cause dere won't be any evidence for em to go on."
"Eeeeh what about dat dere famous investigator and his Pokemon partner, da 'Green Maid' she's called that was in da news yesterday, you know, da one that moved here recently? You don't tink they's already onto us boss?" Mookie said.
"Ahhhh shutup nincompoop, aint no way that nimrods on our tail!" The boss said. "It just a big ol coincidence is all. Aint no way no how dat he's caught onto us! I covered our tracks so well even an Arcanine couldn't sniff us out! Now remember da plan you two, a quick smash an grab kapeesh? No fancy stuff, we get in, get the money, get out, and make our getaway!"
That was all she needed to hear, she pulled the recorder up with one vine and used the other to reach over to the window nearby.
-Smash-
"Ey what was dat?" One of the goons yelled.
-Slam-
From across the room a door slammed open, and in rolled a human who pulled out an air pressure armed handgun which fired off three 'bullets' of air to knock the three Pokeballs that the three mobsters were carrying.
"Hands where I can see em, 'Al Cubone'!" The investigator said.
"It's dat detective!" The other goon yelled.
The human pulled out a ID Badge and grinned. "Trent Ness, Criminal Investigation Agent!" He declared. "And you three are under arrest, so put those hands where I can see them 'Cubone'!"
Al Cubone grinned as he pretended to raise his hands, before throwing his left hand down and slid a Pokeball hidden up his sleeve and into his hands. "I don't think so today Ness." He said before releasing the Pokemon inside.
A Tauros roared as it appeared before them all, stomping its feet in anger.
"Tck… coward!" Ness said.
"Yea, dat new No Poke-Harm Law's a pain aint it Ness?" Cubone said with a grin. "Can't hurt a Pokemon with your fancy non-lethal anti-human firearm huh cause of dat law? But the same can't be said about da Pokemon hurting you."
With that the Tauros roared and charged forward.
"That's why he's got 'me'!" She yelled as she jumped from her perch and summersaulted over the Tauros to land in front.
The Tauros took her head on and attempted to gourd her with his horns, but she twirled and flung a set of Stun Spores and Sleep Powders over the Tauros, causing him to fall to the ground, asleep and paralyzed.
"It's da Green Maid!" One of the goons called out.
She grinned as she stood up to her full six-foot height to stand next to her partner. She was by far no 'maid' to the word's meaning, the word 'Maid' comes from a combination of her species name, Roserade, and the fact she wore a mask to those warn at a Masquerade party. The Green part was because she was 'green', because she was a Roserade.
"That's right 'Cubone', I can't hurt your Tauros, but my partner 'can'." Trent said as he pulled out cuffs. "Now let's try this again, hands where I can see them!"
Within minutes all three were cuffed, the Tauros was being taken out of the building on a stretcher and the two other Pokemon by Officer Jenny.
"Thanks again Trent Ness." Jenny said with a look of relief. "Once again, our city owes you a debt of gratitude, and justice is served before it needed a cause to be served for!"
"To see justice done is its own reward Jenny!" Trent said with a bow alongside Rosemary, who bowed as well. "Wherever criminals think they'll be safe from the law, we'll be there to catch them in the act!"
With that Jenny walked out of the building leaving her and Trent alone.
"You know Rosemary, I've been thinking…" Trent said tiredly. "We've been doing this for years, and neither of us are getting any younger."
"I know Trent, the years pass by without us wanting them to." She said warmly to him, looking him in the eyes.
"What I'm saying is, I don't exactly have that many years left in my life, and I'd like to spend what's left of my golden years in peace with a beautiful girl by my side…" He said holding her left rose in one hand. "And there's no other girl I'd like to have by my side than you…"
"Do you really mean it Trent?" She asked joyously.
"Rosemary… would you marry me?"
"Oh Trent~." She said with a smile.
"Rosemary." He said.
'Rosemary…'
'Rosemary…'
"ROSEMARY!"
(Rosemary's PoV)
"Ro?" She said suddenly, waking up from her nap.
Next to her Trent her trainer sighed and rubbed her head gently. "Come on girl, it's time to head home." He said tiredly.
She looked up at the nearby clock and saw that she had fallen asleep in his cubicle office for over three hours.
'Has time flown by that much?' She thought tiredly as she woke herself up.
She guessed so as Trent packed up his briefcase with papers and folders while she tried to fully wake up. As she did she looked around the police station where Trent worked and saw that there was nobody else besides them, with exception to the desk greeter and his Alolan Persian.
She sighed sadly as she hated when Trent had to work late nights, and wished they were back in Sinnoh where they weren't being overworked and forced to spend so many nights here.
"Alright girl, time to head home." Trent said as he stretched and put on his coat and hat.
"Alright…" She muttered as she raised her rose-hands and used her vines to turn off the light and closed the cubicle door.
They left the police station and walked out into the pouring rain of Konikoni City, when they did she was lifted into her trainer's arms and cuddled close to him to protect herself from the rain. Normally the rain didn't bother her being a grass type, but she preferred to cuddle with her Trainer whenever she could, and so feigned hating the rain so that Trent would hold her. Plus feeling his warm body compared to the cold air of the rain was preferable.
As they walked she reminisced their old life back in Sinnoh.
In Sinnoh Trent worked as a global criminal investigator and had helped identify numerous criminals with relations to the infamous Team Rocket, and even their new label Team Rainbow Rocket. He had spent months helping the agency to track down numerous poachers and people trafficking Pokemon and even 'people' over the world.
Sure, those times had been stressful, but they had been wonderful and exciting, not to mention the pay was 'amazing'.
As they headed to Diglett Cave to return to Heahea City where they lived though, she deeply wished he had chosen to 'stay' in Sinnoh.
"I know girl, you hate doing this every day." He muttered sadly, using his hand to stroke her shoulder while he held her. "I'm trying to find a place closer to work in Konikoni, but so far nothing. I'll keep trying but for now, we just have to deal with this."
"I hope you do…" She muttered back.
That wasn't why she was sad, she could take these long walks, heck she liked being held by him enormously. It's the 'work' he was doing here in Alola she hated.
They had moved here because after Rainbow Rocket made a move to attempt to take over Aether Paradise in Alola, the agency had requested he move here to deal with any criminal elements in Alola thanks to the new wave of tourism and influx of immigrants migrating here from other regions. Yet, instead of dealing with drug dealers, poachers, poke-traffickers and even human traffickers; they were dealing with shoplifters, petty thieves and Pokemon Abusers.
'Boring stuff' as she called it.
While the local police could handle things on their own for most minor cases, more serious ones involving things like poachers or Pokemon thieves were why he was needed there. The recent capture of several Poachers on Poni Island was proof of that, and he was currently tracking down potential links to how those poachers smuggled over sixty million Pokedollars worth of equipment onto the most dangerous island in Alola.
Problem is, leads were few and far between, and now he was dealing with other cases like a recent spring of 'Poke-rapes' that had occurred on Akala Island.
'Those poor girls'.' She thought as they left Diglett's Cave and resumed the walk in the rain.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like to get raped, or what could compel some disgusting humans to do something like that. Here in Alola the relationship between Human and Pokemon was almost 'idealist', Pokemon and native Alolan Humans were very friendly and depended on each other. This trust had taken generations upon generations of tradition and living side by side on these islands to be built up, so much so that some species of wild Pokemon had no problems walking among or around human settlements.
Yet the arrival of tourists and other people from other regions, drawn to the Pokemon League now jeopardized that trust.
She sighed and put it out of mind, and instead focused on being with Trent and looking forward to sleep time with him.
It took them fifteen minutes to reach home, a lovely apartment complex near the route to Battle Royal Avenue. They went inside, trudged up the stairs to their floor and apartment number, and went inside to their warm two-bedroom apartment. It was a cozy place, more than enough for a single human and his Pokemon Partner to live comfortably in, with a nice scenic view.
Trent put her down and proceeded to change out of his coat and clothes while she went to the bed to 'prepare' it. She didn't really need to prepare it, it was already prepared that morning, but she pulled the blanket back so that he didn't have to do it and turned on the electric blanket so that they would be toasty warm. She loved human technology and all it could do, but there were some comforts she would happily give up for other luxuries.
'Like long cold nights by the fireside, arm in arm with your lover~!' She thought happily.
Minutes later she heard Trent walk into their bedroom wearing his night outfit and all but collapsed onto the bed. "Good night Rosemary…" He muttered tiredly, pulling the electric blanket over them.
She nodded and curled on his chest under the blanket with him, hearing his gentle breathing and even gentler sounding heartbeat as he fell asleep instantly. She sighed sadly as she gazed at Trent, before leaning up to his cheek and giving him a soft, gentle kiss.
"Good night my love…" She whispered sadly.
The final, main reason that she hated being here in Alola instead of Sinnoh, was being unable to spend time with Trent. His new job gave him so little time to himself, the last time they had any time together, even as a 'hidden couple' was months ago before they moved here.
'And now here I am, just hoping he gets time to himself…' She thought before she too fell asleep.
(Trent's PoV)
The next day Trent went to work early, having to do so because he needed to speak to multiple people that day. Before he did that though he went to the station to work on the latest case having finally handed off the 'Leadless Poacher' case to the police station for them to work on while he focused on the Poke-raping case.
"Hey Trent!" Officer Woodridge said walking in with a file in hand. "Got another one for you, just reported in."
"Just reported in, how long ago was it?" He said as Rosemary stopped pinning pictures of the raped Pokemon on a bulletin board.
"Uh… six to seven hours ago… the lady works a temp night shift position at the Battle Royal Dome, report only came in now."
He sighed as he took the file and added it to the pile. "That means he's already gotten away, have you been able to get a trace of who did it?"
"Nothing yet Trent, Arcanine unit sniffing around now but, we haven't had anything like this in Alola so our units aren't trained for this kind of thing." He replied.
"And whoever did this probably covered their tracks like the other times…" He muttered. "Alright thanks Woodridge, I'll take it from here…"
He left him and Rosemary to resume their work and he stared at the latest case.
"Let's see… Species: Braixen, gender 'female' as all the others, found unconscious in apartment complex by trainer after returning from work with stretched vaginal muscles affiliated with recent sexual interaction. Medical reports also indicate muscle strains in the shoulder area and leg area, indicating forced sexual actions and saliva tests indicate subject was drugged with an anesthetic used to put victim to sleep or into a state of…"
He stopped reading and put the file down, having read something similar to it like all the others.
"Rose?" Rosemary asked.
"I know…" he grunted. "I'm just tired of seeing this and not being able to 'find' anyone who fits the image!"
He looked at the bulletin board and all the pictures of the raped Pokemon. With the recent picture of the Braixen now added to the board, there were a total of twelve cases of Poke-rapes in Alola, seven of them here on Akala and ther remaining five spread out over Melemele and Ula Ula.
In addition to the Braixen were a Leavanny, Ninetales, a Kirlia, Gothitella, Bayleef, Sceptile, Mightyena, Servine, Sawsbuck, Meowstic, and a Liepard. All of them female, all of them raped, all of them violated by a human in some form or another, and all of them put to sleep or paralyzed in some form or another and either blindfolded or unable to tell 'who' violated them.
"What's the connection besides a 'guy' possibly?" He muttered. "This person has a Pokemon fetish obviously, and they obviously prefer females over males, yet the only thing that ties them together is that, each time…"
"Roserade rose…" Rosemary said, using her vines to connect a sticky note to the board.
"Yea, that each one was raped while the Pokemon's trainer or human was away for an extended period of time, over two or three hours at most." He said, adding the Braixen's picture to the board. "This time the trainer was working a night shift while her Pokemon was left alone, and when she came home, she found her Braixen unconscious, legs spread face up and leaking from both her sex and mouth. There's just got to be a connection, something I'm not seeing, some motive, something I'm not seeing!"
He stared at the map which marked the addresses where these Pokemon were raped, their times, and various scribbles trying to link them together. He looked at the records of people who recently moved to Alola within the last two months, when the earliest case was reported, but nobody accused of 'Pokephelia' had entered the region since and not even before.
"Roserade rose rose rade." Rosemary said, thinking alongside him.
"Indeed, its either one of two things, one the culprit is native, or two something's wrong with the record." He said, rubbing his eyes together. "This person doesn't have a 'human body shaped' fetish, it's not a 'type' fetish, not even region related, just 'female pokemon' that belong to trainers who are working or are away from their Pokemon for periods of time."
He sighed and wished he had more resources to work with.
"Alright, we've done all we can here, let's go and investigate some of the victims." He said. "Come on Rosemary."
"Rose!" She said and leapt onto his shoulder.
They left the station and headed to Heahea City, and from there to an apartment complex where victim 4's trainer resided, the Ninetales and her trainer.
He knocked on the door and soon he was talking to a twenty-nine-year-old woman as her Pokemon hid inside a closet.
"As you know sir, I'm a fashion designer, and I'm working here only temporarily for a year while learning about Alolan Fashions." She said as she served him and Rosemary a pair of cups with tea. "Last month, I was working in the nearby Boutique store displaying some of my fashions from Kalos and drumming up some orders for my store back home. When I came home after work, I walked in to find my Ninetales…"
She sniffed and wiped her eyes with a tissue.
"I called the police… right after I saw her… I tried to have the DNA examined… but they couldn't find a match to anyone in their records…" She said. "Since then, Lulu has refused to come out of that closet when I'm home, and when I leave for work I bring her with. I'm too afraid to leave her alone now after what happened.
"I see, would it be alright if my Pokemon spoke to her?" He asked.
"Go ahead…"
He nodded to Rosemary and she left to speak to the Ninetales, who only shifted aside enough to let her in and refused to come out.
"Do you know of anyone else who might have had access to this room, or if anyone was hanging around this area that looked suspicious?" He inquired.
"No, I didn't see anyone out of the ordinary, nor did anyone else have access to this room besides my landlord, and he's been in the hospital for a while since he had an accident with a runaway Tauros Rider."
He suspected as such, it was just like the other cases he's investigated so far. Moments later Rosemary left the closet and shook her head, signaling that she had found nothing new either.
"I'm sorry for bringing this up, but if you or your Pokemon can think of anything that might help us…"
"We know… we'll be the first to tell you." The woman said with a nod.
They left soon after, Rosemary wearing a sad look on her face as they headed to their next destination, the Leavanny and her trainer.
Minutes later they arrived at another apartment complex and went to talk to Victim seven and her trainer.
"As you know I work as a promoter for the Pokemon League battles held at the Battle Tree." He said while holding an oversized bag to his side. "It had been a simple promotional pitch about a beginner's tournament featuring up and coming trainers rising in the ranks. I had been driving my Scooter around for five hours and decided to get something to eat at home before resuming. When I walked in… the door was unlocked, and that was weird because I locked it when I left."
He looked down at the open bag where his Leavanny was sitting inside, busying itself with making a scarf using its sharp arms as knitting needles with a less-than enthusiastic face. He noted that while they talked the Leavanny would shiver at random times and suddenly look up to make sure her trainer was still there, before returning to knitting.
"Neinei has always been cheerful and friendly, and probably would have helped anyone if they asked for her. One of her favorite things to do was making clothes with whatever material she could find, and she always asked me to give them away to just random people for no other reason than she wanted to be nice. But now, as you see… after what happened to her, she just won't leave the bag if anyone else is nearby."
Moments after he said that Neinei finished knitting her scarf and shoved it out of the bag before beginning work on a sock.
"She also only knits clothes that she can make that will fit in the bag now, I've tried to help her, but she just is so afraid of her own safety that she won't stay alone anymore like she used to."
He nodded and asked Rosemary to try and talk to the Leavanny while he continued talking to the Trainer.
"Do you know anyone who your Pokemon might have opened the door for?" He asked. "Do you know if anyone was hanging around your place of residence for any extended period of time that you didn't know?"
"No, she could have opened the door for anyone." He said with a sigh as Rosemary tried to talk to Neinei, but the Pokemon only shook her head or nodded while continuing to knit in silence. "When I found her, she was face down with her arms stuck to the floor, forcing her to remain kneeled and unconscious. I tried to find out who did it to her, but she couldn't remember 'anything', not even what happened before she opened the door."
"Rose…" Rosemary said with a sigh, shaking her head.
"I see…" He said sadly. "If you guys can think of anything or come up with anything new that might help us track whoever did it."
"We'll call you, yes we'll try our best sir."
He nodded and left, watching as the Leavanny looked up at him with a scared expression, before nodding in gratitude and returning to her sock knitting.
They left and headed over to the Pokemon Center, where the latest victim, number twelve and her trainer were. It took them no time to reach and when they did the first thing he did was question the girl.
"So, when you left for work there was nobody else around?"
"Yea, it's as I told the police who came by." The seventeen-year teen said quietly. "I had just moved out of my parent's place, figured I could take care of myself. I should have known better…"
He watched the girl as she held herself, trying to fight back the dry tears her eyes were shedding. She had shed enough tears that her eyes were bloodshot and she hickuped every few minutes.
"The place I live in is cheap, but it's all I can afford on my salary. My mom gave me Bella as a 'good girl six' present, she came from the Kalos region, and she's rare for her species because she's female." She hickuped. "Why did this have to happen to her… she didn't do anything to anyone!"
He sighed and resumed questioning her. "Did your Pokemon see anyone, or does she remember 'anything'?"
The girl shook her head sadly.
Moments later Rosemary came out from behind the counter with Nurse Joy, shaking her head sadly. She'd learned nothing new either.
"Just the same as the others, lack of memory." He whispered.
"Hello investigator." Nurse Joy said. "Here's the report you asked me for over the phone."
She handed him a clipboard and read what she'd tested for. "Human, but no matches to any of the known Pokephiles we have in the database, or anyone you can trace it to?"
Nurse Joy shook her head. "The Braixen is a nervous wreck, I'm afraid she isn't able to recall anything new. I've done all the tests I can, but I can't find anything inside of her that could help you. I managed to alleviate the poor thing's immediate worries though and gave her abortion medication to prevent any human pregnancies."
"Well at least she's got that out of her mind." He said as Rosemary climbed up onto his shoulder.
"I'll continue examining her and trying to find out anything, if I discover something new I'll phone you instantly." Nurse Joy said as they began to leave.
While they walked he mulled over all that he'd learned or didn't learn and tried to review his profile of the criminal. "The victims all can't remember who did the dude or how they got in, not to mention they were all either found asleep or paralyzed in various forms, blindfolded sometimes or had their body immobilized." He said. "Whoever did this had to have knowledge of Pokemon biology and was capable of wiping their memory of the event to leave them in such a state. But the only people with that level of knowledge are Pokemon Professors, and Doctors?"
"Roserade rose?" Rosemary said in confusion.
"Yea, that doesn't explain the memory loss." He said. "Even if paralyzed or confused, a Pokemon can still retain something of their memory of events even small. Not to mention the various types that were affected, not all of them succumb to those effects equally or easily. And all of that just to… violate them."
"Rose…" Rosemary said sadly, hugging his shoulder.
He nodded, patting her head as well. "Don't worry girl, we'll catch this guy whoever they are." He said warmly. "We'll stop them from hurting another Pokemon."
She nodded with a smile as they headed to their next destination, the ferry.
"Two for the ferry to Poni Island!" He said to the woman.
"Here you go, your boat leaves in two minutes so board quickly!" She said with a smile. "Enjoy your trip."
They boarded the ferry quickly and took their seats and shortly after the boat began to leave. They were headed now to Poni Island, the only island that had not reported 'any' Poke-rapes among the four Alolan Islands, Aether Paradise not counted. He was going there to talk to some of the residents to find a reason why this person had not targeted any Pokemon on Poni Island.
While the boat left and made its way to Poni, he looked around to see that there were no other passengers aboard. It was just him and Rosemary.
"I guess we're finally alone for a while Rosemary." He said.
"Rose?" Rosemary asked curiously.
"Listen girl… I know these last few months have been… rough on us." He whispered, just in case there were cameras or other listening devices on the ferries.
"I… no mind." Rosemary said, speaking in 'broken human' as she called it.
Rosemary learned to speak human, but only partially, having learned every word thanks to sporadic talks with him and talking to him in secret. She kept this skill to herself because it was an advantage she had over many people who assumed most Pokemon couldn't read or understand humans. It helped them crack many cases on criminals who tried to avoid them. Though the real reasons he treasured this skill, was to talk to 'him'.
"I just want to say, I'm sorry for… everything this case is putting you through. Having to talk to those girls and get them to share their experiences. You shouldn't be forced to do that."
"We do… what's needed… yes?" She said sadly.
"Yea, but after this case is over I'm going to ask for some time off."
"Time off for date?" She asked him with a grin.
"Well when you ask that way how can I say no?" He asked her with a chuckle.
"Hehehehe." She giggled.
He sighed contently and leaned his head against hers as she leaned against his, both of them simply enjoying each other's company while they could. It was nice to have a Pokemon for a 'girlfriend', one thing was that unlike a person, nearly every Pokemon didn't hide or lie about who they were or why they do what they do. And in all the cases regarding Pokemon that he's investigated every Pokemon that ever attacked a human that 'wasn't' wild was ordered to do so, or did so for the sake of another human, often their trainer.
"You know Rosemary, some days… I wish I'd become a dish washer or something else besides criminal investigation. Something 'quieter' and nicer than this…"
"You… no like… our life?" She asked.
"No, I just hate seeing the ugly side of the world that most trainers don't ever see." He muttered, moving his hat to the side to cover both of them so that, if any camera 'was' watching them, they wouldn't notice both a Roserade and a human kissing each other affectionately.
They rode that way throughout the trip, for the next four hours to poni Island.
[Narrator]
[After arriving on Poni Island Trent and Rosemary rented space to spend the night on Hapu's farm while on Poni Island, as the next fairy to Akala Island would not leave late enough for them to complete their investigations. After that they began questioning every trainer and their Pokemon, asking about any 'suspicious' characters.]
[Yet their investigations did not reveal anything new, but it did give them new clues that they did not have before.]
(Trent and Rosemary's PoV)
"So, you aren't afraid of anyone attempting to hurt your Pokemon?" Trent asked a photographer who worked at the local Pokemon Photo Club, while Rosemary spoke to his Pokemon and her son outside.
"Of course not, Azula can easily take care of herself, and if anyone tried anything little Iroh wouldn't let anything happen to her." He said while setting up his camera for the next photo shooting.
"Do you take any security precautions to keep her and her son safe?" He asked while taking notes.
"Not really, lock the door, maybe close the blinds when we're home. Otherwise for the most part we are either out in the fields taking images or here waiting for me outside while working." Eri said as he finished adjusting his camera's height. "While they're here Azula trains Iroh how to fight until he is ready to train on his own as a Hakamo-o."
Meanwhile outside Rosemary was asking a similar question to Azula the 'shiny' Kommo-o as she taught the young Jangmo-o.
"You aren't nervous that a human might find you tempting enough to attempt to rape?" Rosemary asked.
"Me, fear for the safety and security of my body for only my mate to touch and mate with as he desires?" Azula said proudly. "I would never let another human even 'touch' me, let alone do something despicable and vulgar as to violate my body for their sick pleasure."
"Ya! Mom is super strong!" Iroh growled with pride from his mother's arms. "Only daddy gets to mate with her!"
"Shush you, you are not old enough to talk of such subjects." She growled with a prideful smile.
She nodded as she listened, not at all surprised to find 'another' Pokemon/Human couple. They'd found a few in their investigations over the years, the humans typically keeping that information to themselves but the Pokemon spilling the beans. She of course kept that knowledge private and wouldn't share it with anyone.
"So, have you seen any strange humans? Anyone that's been hanging around eyeing you or other Pokemon that they shouldn't be?" She asked now.
"None." Azula said with a glare. "If any human dared do that to me, they would feel my wrath 'quickly'!"
"Mom scares off 'all' the weak humans and their Pokemon with just her eyes!" Iroh declared proudly.
She nodded in agreement, as the Kommo-o's power was quite noticeable through just her eyes, how any Pokemon could demonstrate their strength just through their eyes she didn't know. She was by no means a weak Roserade, she had fought quite a few Pokemon in her days, but this Kommo-o's power was a whole other level. She didn't want to tango with this Pokemon, and she didn't want to meet the human that got on her nerves.
Moments later Trent left the building and she figured it was time to move on to their next destination, the 'trainer village' which consisted of multiple huts built near the beach close to Seafolk Village.
"You guys have 'no' security precautions?" He asked them in surprise.
"Why have them if they aren't needed?" Cynthia asked as she sipped Earl Grey tea from a teacup ordered from Johto. "My Pokemon are with me 24/7, my Lucario senses auras no matter if he's awake or asleep, and my Garchomp and Milotic aren't afraid to fight anyone or anything."
"Same with my pokemon, Safia is a night owl by nature, and Leala and Sylvester are fierce fighters." Nate said as a pair of Riolu and pair of Zorua ran around the floor playing. "There are also other Trainers who have Pokemon that battle in night matches at the Battle Tree for people who watch at night throughout Alola. They tend to also prevent anyone from attempting any robbery or breaking into our homes here."
"That and our huts are made out of bamboo sticks and aren't exactly state of the art, I think only 'two' people have a lock for their doors, but they aren't anything complicated to overcome." Cynthia said in a matter of fact tone. "These are strange questions to be asking a pair of former Champions of the Sinnoh Region, is there a reason why you're asking us these kinds of questions?"
"There has been a string of Pokemon rapes spread across Melemele, Akala, and Ula-ula Island." He explained. "So far only trained Female Pokemon who's trainers aren't with them for extended periods of time, over two or three hours at most, have been raped. Each time the victim is unable to recall 'who' violated them or even any of the events that led up to the incident. Each time they were also discovered either unconscious or paralyzed and blindfolded, or immobilized in some way."
=Meanwhile outside with Rosemary=
"You can't be serious?" The pregnant Zoroark asked as she sat alongside a pregnant Lucario.
(They were violated? Who could do such a thing?) The Lucario asked incredulously, unconsciously holding her stomach protectively, as if suddenly afraid something would happen to her unborn offspring.
"Obviously someone who will suffer my wrath should they do anything to you two." The Serperior said as he continued to balance several stones atop his head, even while talking to her. "Not to mention Nate, if anyone tried to touch you at all he wouldn't let them breathe another minute longer."
"Got that right, Nate wouldn't let anything bad happen to any of us." Safia said warmly, patting the Lucario's shoulder reassuringly.
She sighed as she observed all these highly trained Pokemon around her, namely the two pregnant females who were 'obviously' mated to their human. She didn't need to be told that he was their mate, how they reacted to her question and explanation revealed everything, including the fact that 'Nate' was the father of the young Pokemon inside and the unborn inside of these two females.
Meanwhile the other three, a Garchomp, a Milotic and another Lucario were either resting and listening intently or silently meditating.
"Indeed, but none of you seem afraid of anything happening to you." She said before correcting herself. "Well, most of you anyway."
"Course not, I'm awake fourteen hours a day with most of it being at night, and Leala always tracks auras around us, she knows if someone she doesn't know is nearby. And Sylvester aint a wimp when it comes to a fight." Safia said with a grin.
"I thank you for your vote of confidence... I think." Sylvester the Serperior said while adding another stone to his head for balancing purposes.
She nodded in understanding and looked to the Champion Cynthia's team, recognizing them quite well from various battles she watched on tv with Trent.
"What about you three, any worries about your safety?" She asked.
As one all three shook their heads.
"I fear no human or Pokemon." The female Garchomp said. "They wouldn't satisfy me even if they tried, not like 'her'."
"Hmpf, a human besides Cynthia, dare touch me?" The female Milotic asked skeptically. "Pah, better off asking a Gyarados to sing opera."
(My mistress is the only human I would allow near those two in such a manner, any others will feel my aura sphere…) The male Lucario said calmly as an aura sphere formed in his paws and dissipated within seconds.
After a while Trent left the hut with Nate and Cynthia in tow, followed by four little Pokemon.
"Thank you both for your time." Trent said.
"No problem, now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go buy some more Enigma Berries from Melemele." Cynthia said.
"Enigma Berries? Aren't those difficult to raise and hard to find?" Trent asked.
"Yea, but there's a person who grows them on Melemele and sells them to trainers here on Poni." Nate said with a smile. "So whenever we have the chance Cynthia goes and stocks up on them for hers and my teams."
"Indeed, you never know what effect adding Enigma Berries will have to any concoction, but I found out adding the juice to my tea makes me so full of energy, and I think it helps shave a few years off my skin!" Cynthia said with a grin.
"Not to mention we found out adding the juice of those berries to his energy drinks makes him more 'enthusiastic' in bed." Safia whispered in Pokespeech to her pregnant Lucario friend.
Leala giggled as she and Trent left for Hapu's farm as it was getting dark. Once at the farm, and after a late dinner from Hapu and her grandmother, they turned in for the night and started talking about what they learned.
"So, what we learned today is that apparently trained Pokemon raised by competitive trainers, particularly those in the league aren't afraid or intimidated by the prospect of being assaulted by humans." Trent said. "On top of that, they're so confident and unafraid that they don't even take basic protection measures, and they have absolute confidence and trust in their trainers' skills and their own skills."
"But the other Pokemon, do not have… those skills. After what happens… they afraid… to even leave their trainer's side." Rosemary said.
"Which means whoever is doing this, is deliberately targeting Pokemon who's trainers 'aren't' professional or even minor league trainers. But ordinary people who only have their Pokemon as pets or companions."
"Or lovers…" Rosemary added.
"Yea… which makes it even 'harder' for us to catch him." Trent said quietly. "Of all the trained Pokemon in Alola, the number of Pokemon that are simply pets is still substantial."
"He only targets… females… too."
"Hmpf, well that narrows down his list of targets he has to what a thousand?" He asked. "But how are they doing it… getting in, doing that, and getting out… without anyone knowing? Surely a Pokemon would scream for help if possible. If they could see their attacker they'd remember his face, if they 'struggled' they'd remember it."
"Trent…" Rosemary said sadly. "Why do they do this? Why are some humans so mean?"
He was quiet as they lay in bed, unable to answer that question. "I don't know Rosemary, I just don't know." He replied.
With that they went to bed, thoughts filled with questions and fears.
=Meanwhile on Akala Island=
(Delcatty's PoV)
"Alright… I need to work late tonight Della, I'll be back home in a few hours." Her human said from the Phone screen. "Keep the door locked alright girl?"
"Okay darling." She said warmly.
"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll have off so we can go touring the island. Alright gatta go girl."
She nodded as the screen turned off and she yawned in boredom. "It's so boring without him around…" She muttered sadly. "Whatever could he be so worried about, we live on the outskirts of the island at a motel while he works to get us an apartment. The most valuable thing in here is that phone."
As she began to snooze she smelled something strange, something that once she smelled it she became very attracted to it.
'What the…' She started to think, but after that her mind went blank as she moved to the door, drawn to the smell.
After that she jumped and unlocked the door with a swipe of her paw.
(Trent's PoV)
The next day in the early morning they boarded the ferry and began the return journey. Once back on Akala they returned to their office and were just starting to add new information to the case when Trent got another call.
"This is Trent Ness; how can I help you?" He asked as he picked up the phone.
"Treeeent, you need to get over here to the Route 8 motel, NOW!" His coworker all but yelled over the phone.
"What, what's going on?" He said, causing Rosemary to watch him in fear.
"That Pokemon rapist struck again, this time the victim is a Delcatty, and her trainer called us, but this time we think we have video footage of the attacker!" He said quickly.
"Video footage, but why haven't you examined it yet?" He yelled back.
"We have, but we're having difficulty making out who it is! We need you here now while the crime scene is fresh."
"We're on our way." Trent said before slamming the phone off and grabbing his coat and hat. "Come on Rosemary!"
"Rose!" She said, vine whipping onto his shoulder and turning off the lights as she did.
Within ten minutes they had driven rapidly to Route 8's motel and arrived at the scene. There were several police officers already there, forensics was examining the scene while the victim and her trainer answered questions.
"Alright Rosemary, let's check out the scene." He said to her.
She nodded, and they entered the motel room where the trainer and victim were staying. On one side was a small tv, the bed was neatly made, and the table set for breakfast. The inside was neat and orderly, almost looking nice and prim, befitting a Delcatty and her owner. If it weren't for the stains of white and outline of a splayed-out Delcatty coating the floor, the room would have been pleasant.
"Rose…" Rosemary said with a gag, staring at the stains.
He looked around and examined the door while forensics examined the stains and took samples.
"Hmm, door unlocked from the inside." He muttered, noticing the tiniest of scratch that could only come from a Delcatty's paw. "No signs of forced entry from the windows, so she opened the door on her own."
"Rose roserade?" Rosemary asked.
"Ya… and allowed herself to be raped…" He whispered. "Poor thing, what was she thinking? Why would she…"
"She wasn't thinking." A voice said to him, causing him to turn around.
It was the Delcatty's owner, he was carrying his Delcatty sheltered in his arms, protecting her as best he could. Meanwhile the Delcatty was shivering in fear as her ears and tail drooped. She had her face buried in his arms and was too terrified to look around.
"Mr.?" He asked.
"Geoffrey, my name is Geoffrey, and my Delcatty is named Della." He said sadly. "She doesn't remember 'anything' that happened to her. The last thing she remembered was me telling her I'd be home later than normal, and to keep the door locked. After that… she doesn't remember 'anything'."
He nodded, seeing the same thing. "What about the video evidence?"
Geoffrey used one hand to pull out a Pokegear that had a viewscreen on it to hand to him. "My Pokegear was still on, she didn't know how to turn it off, so it still live screened what it saw to me. I had shut off my view screen after phoning her at work, so I didn't see what…"
He began sobbing as he held his Delcatty closer, apologizing to her and pleading for forgiveness for his mistake.
"If only I'd kept watching her, if only… I could have saved her!"
"Del…" Della whispered, nuzzling him reassuringly, obviously forgiving him.
He took the Pokegear and nodded, before walking away with Rose to examine the footage.
Minutes later he had to watch with loathing and disgust as the video played. It showed the Delcatty preparing to sleep, before apparently getting up and move toward the door, knocking aside the Pokegear and moving it out of line-of-sight.
Then, he had to cover Rosemary's ears as they heard the moans, the groans, the sounds of sick pleasure.
He watched it going on for over thirty minutes as the Delcatty was violated, before he turned it off, unable to take it anymore.
"It doesn't make sense, she said she was raped but it sounded… 'consensual'…"
"Roserade rade Rose!" Rosemary screamed furiously.
"I know it wasn't, but then how did that happen. She just up and opened the door for the guy." He muttered. "It's not hypnotism, in order for that he would have to use vision or sound, but she looked like she was hypnotized without even hearing or seeing him. So how…"
Moments later his nostrils smelled a strange 'scent' in the air, and he began looking around for the source. "Hey, do you smell that girl?" He asked Rosemary who shook her head. The source as it turned out was one of the officers, a woman as she was writing down a report.
"Hey Megan, what's that smell I'm smelling off you?" He called out.
She looked up and smiled. "Noticed, did you?" She said. "It's a new perfume a guy started selling in the marketplace, 'Essence of Salazzle' it's called. Supposed to help get guys attention for 'lonely girls', as its advertised. I wore it as a dare from my cousin. Works quite well, you're the umpteenth guy to notice, I've gotten asked out on fifteen dates today alone."
"Salazzle…" He muttered. "Do you have that perfume bottle on hand?"
She nodded and pulled out a small bottle before tossing it to him. On it was a picture of a girl dressed up like a Salazzle, smiling and posturing in a seductive pose.
"Made with extract of Salazzle pheromones, one spray will get guys attention, guarantee!" He read out. "Wait a moment… what happens to male Pokemon when a Salazzle uses its pheromones against them?"
Megan thought for a moment before answering, "Depends on the species but generally any male that smells a Salazzle's pheromones becomes mesmerized and drawn to the Salazzle. It's how Salazzle breeds with male Salandits during mating season. She releases her pheromones and attracts any male she can, it even works on humans as you saw. The guy who sold it to me and my cousin said he has to take great care in making it, cause in its natural form and not the diluted form that's in the bottle its super strong."
"How strong?"
"Hmm, I'd say the perfume's… about a tenth or so the strength of a Salazzle's natural pheromones."
With that he thought back to what all of the Pokemon had said about the incidents. They couldn't remember 'anything' and based on the Delcatty and how she acted moments to before being assaulted, was like she had been hypnotized.
"Roserade?" Rosemary asked curiously.
"Yea, I'm thinking that too." He said to her as they left. "If the victims were exposed to Salazzle pheromones, then they'd be mesmerized and hypnotized to the point where they wouldn't remember any of the events that transpired."
"Rose roserade rade rose…" Rosemary said with a shake of her head, unbelieving.
"Indeed, it doesn't make much sense because Salazzle pheromones only has that affect on males, not females. But it's a… start…"
He stopped walking as he suddenly remembered something.
"Rose?"
"Enigma berries… didn't Nate say there's no telling what effect Enigma Berries will have when added to anything?" He asked suddenly. "What if, someone combined Enigma Berry Juice to a perfume with extract of Salazzle Pheromones? And it not only strengthened the effect but also reversed it so that it attracts females instead of males?"
"Rose rose roserade!" Rosemary said excitedly.
"Your right, come on, we need to get to Heahea marketplace before they close!" He yelled.
They made their way as quickly as possible to Heahea city, and an hour later they reached the marketplace. It didn't take them long to find the person selling the perfume his fellow officer used, and after quickly talking to him he explained how he created the perfume.
"My Salazzle's pheromones are difficult to extract in their natural form, almost impossible for me, so I have my Salazzle excrete her poison which contains the pheromones in it." He said as he held a small jar with purple liquid in it. "After I get the poison I extract the pheromones by heating the jar under a flame so that the gas floats upward into another jar, and from there I perform a process called condensation to change it from gas to liquid again. The poison is removed, and the pheromone chemical remains."
"And from there you weaken its affect and add certain other things to it to make it a marketable perfume, I understand, but what we need to know is if you have a list of people you have sold it to?" He said, having no patience for this science stuff.
"Hmmm, I 'think' I do…" The salesman said as he turned to his Salazzle. "Check to see if we have that sales list in the back."
"Lazzle." She said before scampering off.
Minutes later she came back with a box of receipts in her claws.
"Thanks, alright so is there someone your looking for?"
"We're looking for any male customers you've had."
"Roserade rose!" Rosemary said.
"Male, well that's interesting because I've only had one male customer." He said as he rummaged around. "All of customers have been girls trying to get boyfriends or girls trying to impress their boyfriends or husbands. Ah, here we go!"
He pulled out a receipt and handed it to them.
"Name, Halu Hou, lives on Ula Ula island… purchased five bottles?"
"He said they were gifts for his 'many' girlfriends." The salesman said with a shrug. "I'm guessing he was just joking."
"Salazzle laz." The Salazzle said with a shrug as well.
"Alright thank you, come on Rosemary, if we're fast we can get this guy!" He said to her as they returned the receipt and left.
"How… are you… certain it him?" She asked quietly in her broken language.
"I don't, but I've got a hunch, and if I'm right…" He said.
"Should we… get backup?"
"No, not yet, first I want to check him out, if I'm wrong and we go barging in our butts will be on ice. First we'll talk and see what he knows."
[Narrator]
[They left Akala on the next ferry for Ula Ula, both waiting anxiously to arrive. When they did they went to the first town and began asking about him. From there they learned he did indeed reside on the island but moved so frequently he didn't live in any one place. A man pointed them in the direction of the outskirts of Po-town, as they saw him frequently around the area outside the forest of the Lake of the Sun.]
[They investigated the scene and found not only him but a campsite… a campsite where the family had gone on a late-night tour of the landmark in the safe company of an Trial Captain in training, leaving their female pet Linoone behind to protect the camp.]
(Rosemary's PoV)
"That's our man Rosemary…" He said quietly as they watched the person approach the campsite, the family having already left long ago. "The Linoone hasn't spotted him, if he's our man then she'll be hypnotized like the others…"
"Do we have to wait until he's about to rape her?" She asked him in pokespeech, angry that they must do this. "Let's just take him 'now'."
"We need to catch him in the act, I hate it too but that's how it is, we aren't exactly following the books by doing this, so we have to justify our actions, or our butts will be on the line as well."
She grunted as she hated this plan, wait for their target to violate the victim, catch him in the act, what kind of plan is this?
Still she knew they had to, she wanted to catch this guy as much as he did, and they were taking a risk doing this, so she wouldn't fight it. She watched with baited breath as the guy approached the camp and was finally noticed by the Linoone and turned to look at him as if in a daze.
"Just as the others said… looks like we were right…" He muttered.
"Can we move in now?"
"Not yet…"
Moments later the Linoone turned around and raised her rear to him.
"Now!" He said.
Instantly they both sprang and made a dash toward the camp.
"Stop right there, Police, hands where I can see em!" He yelled.
The culprit turned in shock and stumbled backward, while the Linoone followed him as if in a complete daze. Then just as she got within range of him, she smelled a scent that suddenly caused her to stop.
She couldn't help herself, something just… made her stop, it was like suddenly she forgot what she was doing there. But one thing in her mind rose up to dominate her thoughts, whoever she was smelling… was 'very' attractive.
"Who are you, what do you want?"
"I said put your hands on the ground now, do it before I'm forced to have my partner stun you!"
She heard sounds, but they weren't very interesting, all she wanted was to go to the source of that smell and… do 'something' with it. She looked at the source and found herself entranced with them, they were very attractive, she liked them… she wanted to mate with them… mate and be happy. If she mated with him she would be happy…
"Your partner huh… well, I think I like your partner then." He said with a grin. "In fact, I think she likes 'me' as well."
She started taking steps toward him, her nether regions becoming wet with arousal, unable to resist her desire. She wanted him, she wanted him 'now'. How long as it been since she 'ever' mated? She's never mated, her current mate was too big for her, yea she loved him but this male… this was a male that would 'mate' her.
'No…'
"Rosemary, Rosemary snap out of it!"
That voice sounded familiar, but the smell, the scent… she couldn't resist it…
She felt something grab her, and instantly she lashed out, she used her vine whip to slap away the thing that was holding her back. She turned to the thing and saw it was a human, not unlike the male calling to her, wanting her, this one though was trying to stop her.
'Stop…'
"Shouldn't have done that buddy…" The male said with a chuckle.
"Rosemary… what have you done to her?"
"Nothing, except let her have a whiff of me." The male said. "Now that she's had a whiff, all she can think about is making love to me, she'll do anything to have me 'fill' her up. Even hurt anyone who gets in her way…"
Hurt, yes, hurt this human. How dare he try and stop her from mating this male. Make him pay, she'll make him pay, then she can be with her male!
'Don't…'
She raised her arms and prepared to attack.
"No, Rosemary stop it's me! It's Trent!"
'Trent…'
The word brought something out of her mind, something struggling to make her listen. She didn't want to listen, all she wanted was to mate that male who was 'wanting' her. Yet this other part of her mind, was trying to fight back, to force her to listen.
"Listen Rosemary, it's me, its Trent… stop!"
'Trent… Rosemary…'
Her name, that was her name, and Trent was his name… but why was it so important to her? Why did she need to remember it, what was the point, she had a male she wanted… didn't she?
'Trent… love…'
Trent, she loved him, that's who this human was that her mind was telling her.
With that it was like a cloud began to brush away from her mind, and she could think again, yet that scent. The smell, it continued to drive and corrupt her mind. She began to fight against it now, forcing her body to leave Trent alone and not harm him, but it was so difficult. Even as she fought to protect Trent from her own body, its desire to harm him only grew in strength the longer she resisted her urge.
"That's it Rosemary, fight it, fight it!"
She fought it, his words encouraging her, helping her to lower her arms inch by inch.
"Hurry up and stun him already 'Rosemary', so that we can have some fun." The male voice said, making the cloud return to her mind, shoving her conscious thoughts out again. "You don't want to keep this one waiting, do you?"
She could hear a female pining behind her, wanting, desiring, and she too was desiring. This human in front of her was denying her that wish, she had to get rid of him and then she'd have her male! She raised her arms again.
"No, fight it Rosemary, don't let him win, your stronger than this girl!" He yelled. "Please, don't let him win, he doesn't care about you at all, listen to your heart Rosemary, it knows what it really wants!"
Her heart, again, with those words she began to fight back.
'I love… him… not monster… Trent… I love…' She thought, before her instincts, her desire… took complete control.
"Treeeeeeent!" She screamed in despair as she released a powerful stun spore and poison powder on her lover.
"Ga… ha…gar…" He chocked, before falling to the ground.
She stared in horror as she watched Trent fall before her, unable to stop herself no matter how hard she tried. At the last moment she had fought with all her might, and changed the strength of the poison powder, lowering its dosage enough so that he would not die instantly from over poison. Yet the horror and reality of what she did washed over her, flooding the intoxicating effect of the pheromone away and letting her think clearly once more.
At least for a moment.
The moment she took another scent she became intoxicated again, and this time there was no Trent to help her mind fight it. Her heart was alone as it struggled to resist, and it allowed her to retain her thoughts as she turned and stumbled toward this other human, aroused and wanting.
"That's right, come over here my sweet." He said happily. "Now I can have two of you at once, I can't believe my luck."
Those words, something in them drove her heart to fight back and double its efforts. 'He' made her attack Trent, her true love, and now he wanted to make her 'his'? She would not abide by it, she would not allow it. Azula claimed that she would never allow another to even touch her beside her husband, and she would follow the same, no other male would dare touch her body!
She stopped, and with all of her willpower forced her arms to rise.
"Hey now, don't do that… if you do I can't mate with you!" He said with a smile.
And with his words as well as now being close to him, her strength began to fade fast. Her arms began to lower, and she had to struggle to keep them raised.
'No… won't… surrender… don't… let him.' She thought in despair, before her arms lowered further. 'I'm sorry… I tried… forgive me… my love.'
The last of her will to resist faded, but as if called her, she felt something shove the cloud in her mind out of the way. Suddenly she could think properly, but now lacked the strength to move anymore.
"Hey… what the."
She turned to look to her side and saw, standing behind him was a Lurantis, a giant Lurantis glaring down at him, radiating 'Totem Energy'.
"Oh, another one, man, all the girls are coming out for me tonight huh?"
Rosemary thought that the Lurantis didn't seem too eager to mate, instead 'she' looked furious, and made her point known by raising her bladed arm and gathering solar energy.
"H-hey, wait a moment!" He began to say before the Solar Blade was primed.
"Die. Scum." The Totem said, before a blade of pure solar energy was released from the tip.
The Totem lowered the Solar Blade and directed it at the human, who managed to dodge the attack by running away as fast as he could, screaming in fear as the blade missed him by inches and continued to miss as she swiped at him.
There was silence as she collapsed to the ground, unable to move, alongside her the Linoone looked around in confusion.
"Tck. Humans. Not fast runners most of the time, but threaten their life, and they move faster than a Lycanroc in a sandstorm." The Totem said in disgust, before the totem energy dissipated. "Are you okay? My partner should be arriving soon, that blade was more meant to signal him instead of just harming the human."
She nodded. "How did you resist his Salazzle Pheromones. He uses a perfume mixed with Salazzle Pheromones to intoxicate and violate female Pokemon, and no female can resist it. How did you resist it and get so close to him?"
The Totem smiled and spun around in a dance. "The Totems are surrounded by energy blessed by the Tapus, I'm not a true Totem yet, just a Totem in Training, or at least I hope to be a totem in training. But all of us Totem hopefuls are given special energy upon reaching our full height when residing her at the Lake of the Sun, which allows us to harness 'Totem Auras'. That aura helps us to resist attacks of both physical and special variety, including increasing our defenses. It also helps us to resist lowly tactics that other Pokemon use like 'pheromones' to confuse us."
With those words Rosemary had an idea, but she needed the totem aura to do so, if she could get at that aura then she could catch that criminal. She doesn't even remember his face anymore because of those pheromones but she knows that if she had the totem aura, she could get close to him without fear.
"How do I get that energy, please, you have to tell me!"
The Lurantis frowned and looked thoughtful before answering. "I guess… ask the Tapus?" She said. "I received my power from the great Tapu Bulu here on Ula Ula, only because I live here. Depending on the island you live on, you need to seek out that island's Tapu and ask them. Otherwise spend ten or fifteen years training to become a Totem?"
"Fifteen years? I can't wait that long, I need to catch that bastard NOW!" She screamed in furry. "Look what he made me do to Trent, I would NEVER have done that to my lover, not unless I was 'FORCED' to! He has to pay, look what he's doing to 'us', what he nearly did to her! I can't let that son of a Mu-"
As she was about to continue ranting the Totem smacked her to the ground with a "Shush now!", before turning to pick up Trent carefully in her scythe arms. "Stupid female, if you truly cared about your human mate, you'd have first asked to have him taken care of. The first rule of the totems, never put personal feelings before the well-being of those around you. That's why I didn't chase after that scum, I can't leave you three alone in your state."
She wanted to rebuke the totem, but seeing the totem carry her lover and then the Linoone before beckoning her to vine whip herself onto her shoulder, silenced her.
"I do not understand what Pokemon see in humans that makes them potential mates, guess it's a good thing my human is female." The Lurantis muttered under her breath.
[Narrator]
[Rosemary and Trent, as well as the Linoone met up with the Totem in training Lurantis' partner, and after a brief explanation, they were air lifted to a hospital on Akala Island. There, Trent began being treated for serious Paralysis, and minor poison. Rosemary in her heart, furious at herself and the human who forced her to harm her human.]
[In her mind, she blamed herself for the situation, had she only been stronger in her heart, she might have resisted better she thought. But after talking to the Lurantis, she returned to Trent's office to continue work while he recovered.]
[And piece together the puzzle, of what made this person's mind tick…]
Rosemary posted the picture of the latest victim, even if 'Audra' as she was called wasn't violated to the same extent as the others, she was still a victim.
"Ugh… how does he do this?" She thought, wracking her brain to put it all together. "He figured out the Salazzle Perfume and the Enigma Berry pieces."
She looked at all the sticky notes, pointing between pictures with phrases like 'species type?' or 'body type?' connecting and interweaving between all of them with exception to Della and Audra, the two latest victims. She didn't know what connected them all, they were all completely different.
"They are all female pokemon with trainers of various social class status." She growled, pulling a string and tying Audra to 'upper class' and Della to 'middle class'. "They're trainers all left them alone at various times, for one reason or another, whether it be work or touring or even just because they went out and about… So what's the connection?"
She smacked her head against the chair leg, trying to think like Trent.
"What did he say before I took my nap… think you stupid Roserade, think! He was talking about something while you started to snooze and doze off like the stupid Sinnoh Budew he found you as!"
She sighed as nothing came to her mind.
She really was just as she said, a stupid Sinnoh Budew, dreaming and playing. Here she was, trying to play detective without her partner, her human, her 'lover'. Some lover she was, he had faith in her, he loved her, believed in her that she wouldn't ever hurt him, and in the moment where he 'needed' her to pull through as he always pulled through for her, she lets him down and turns on him.
Worse still, even as she fought to regain some piece of mind, take her revenge against the one who made her hurt him, she starts to 'fall' for him.
"If only we'd stayed in Sinnoh instead of coming here to Alola…" She whispered. "Sinnoh… Sinnoh… wait a moment!"
She snapped her eyes open and looked at the pictures.
"Braixen, Leavanny, Kirlia, Gothitelle, Bayleef, Sceptile, Mightyena, Servine, Sawsbuck, Meowstic, Liepard, Delcatty, Linoone… none of them are native to Alola, they're all from other regions." She thought. "The Ninetales… that Ninetales was 'Kanto' variant as it's called here in Alola. Which means… this guy… he's targeting 'Foreign' female Pokemon!"
Thinking quickly, she vine-whipped to the computer and began using her feet and fines to type quickly, looking up in the database of any Pokemon owned by non-trainer licensed humans in Alola. The agency had a complete list of every and any person who owned a Pokemon that was not a Pokemon League participant, as the Pokemon League handled 'those' licenses.
Sure enough, a list of over five hundred and fifty-seven popped up. She examined the list, glad that it was small, and glad that the agency didn't have a complete list of those people in Alola, as they didn't have any need for licenses.
She narrowed it down to humans from 'other' regions besides Alola, and that narrowed the list of people to three hundred and seven. Narrowing it down further she restricted it to those who owned 'female' Pokemon, and that reduced it to one hundred and nine.
"Now for the real kicker." She muttered, before typing in a final narrow searcher, "Owners of 'non-native Alolan pokemon species'.
Instantly the list narrowed to thirty-nine.
She examined the list, and true to her suspicion all '15' victims were among them. She looked up the remaining 24 and where they were located and saw that most of them were on Poni Island, only one was on Akala Island. This confused her because if so many were on that island why hadn't the attacker assaulted them?
"Of course, the high trainer population and density of foreign trainers with powerful Pokemon. He's not risking his neck near them because they'll be resistant to his pheromones thanks to their training. They'd be on to him the instant he showed his face." She said as she read out the only other one not on Poni Island, not attacked yet. "Working part time at a Pokemon Center while attending a college course for class credit, works night shift from... 10 pm to six AM."
She glanced at the clock and saw that it was around 6:30, she had less than four hours to get to the owner's house and prepare herself to catch this guy. But there was one problem, the pheromones, she was not able to resist them, try as she might, her body would inevitably betray her heart to the pheromones that man was covered in.
"Guess I have to go to Tapu Lele, and plea for her to give me the power." She muttered bitterly. "Of all the Tapus, I get to ask the cruelest of them all. Tapu Lele is just as likely to heal me after beating me up as it is to torture me with its powers, after beating me up that is."
She jumped down and was about to leave before she reached up to the desk and pulled down a photo frame to take with her. It was an old picture, of her and Trent during their 'dating' years while he was first working as an investigator. She smiled as she looked at it, a moment of joy on both their faces, one that she enjoyed and loved. This picture was their favorite, and she loved it because that was the day the two of them started to secretly 'date'.
"And all it took for me to betray my love, is my own body fighting against me…" She whispered bitterly. "Well… if my current body won't listen to me, then a new body is what I need. And if it will help me take this bastard down for making me do that to Trent, then I'll endure whatever torture Tapu Lele puts me through!"
With that she carried her photo and left the building, avoiding all the officers at the station, before heading over to the Ruins of Life, sanctuary and home of Tapu Lele.
When she arrived, after passing through a cemetery, passing by many ghost pokemon, and other Pokemon that resided outside the area of the Ruins of Life entrance. The sight of the ruins slightly scared her, not being native and knowing all of the lore and religion of the Tapus gave her and Trent a certain advantage over the natives. One advantage was she did not fear Tapu Lele, because she's never faced or even seen the Tapu.
On the flip side though, she had no idea how dangerous of scary the Tapu really were. All she had to go on were tales, stories, and conversations they heard from people and Pokemon. The only fact that she and Trent bothered with though, was that the Alolan Champion of the newly created Pokemon League on the islands, had captured and befriended the Tapus, and now people were able to speak to them whenever they wanted to.
Assuming the Tapus 'deigned' to talk to them that is.
"Even the Champion doesn't inspire total loyalty from them." She muttered nervously as she eyed the entrance. "The champion can enter their sanctuaries, converse with them, and even battle alongside them whenever he asks or needs them. But for others, they have to have 'reason' to even bother with them."
A deep breath later and she stepped toward the Entrance, determined to seek an audience and plea for the power of the Totems to be bestowed upon her.
(Hehehehehe)
Suddenly she stopped and looked around, having heard a giggle course through her mind.
"Who's there?"
Silence as she continued to look around, before carefully placing her picture on the ground and assuming a defensive stance.
"Whoever you are… show yourself!" She growled.
Before she could notice, she was flung into the air and spun around, causing her to become dizzy as she tried to figure out what was going on. After a few seconds she was brought to a sudden stop to stare into the eyes of a smiling, giggling creature of Pink and Black as well as Red.
(You're not from around here.) The Tapu said with a smile. (If you were, you'd have bowed to me and asked permission to enter~.)
She tried to talk but was instead spun around again as the Tapu shifted position, now she was looking at the Tapu upside down.
(And that stance, what are you, some kind of 'fighter'?) She all but laughed. (Asking who's there also, haven't got a brain? Don't you know this place, who else but 'me' would be here?)
Again, she was flipped around as the Tapu decided to shift positions, before Rosemary was now staring at the sky, while the Tapu leaned against her back.
(I don't normally grant audience to those who aren't worth my time, but since you've come here and had the 'audacity' to think that I would just listen to you because you came…) Lele said sarcastically. (I suppose I could at least hear you out.)
With that Rosemary felt herself drop to the ground, rather heavily on her face. She got up and steadied herself before looking at the Tapu above her.
Tapu Lele was leaning on her shell with a bored expression, yet she still had that 'giggly' outlook from before. Around her neck was a Love Ball, indicating that she was a caught Pokemon, and even though the champion wasn't here, she still considered herself 'his' Pokemon.
"Tapu… Lele, I've come to speak to you." She said.
(I got that part, but the question is 'why' have you come, what do you want?) She replied, still sounding bored.
"I… I've come to ask you… for the power of the Totem!" She yelled. "I need the Totem's power to capture a criminal, and I need you to bestow me with that gift!"
Tapu Lele stared at her, her look unchanging, before she sighed and turned away.
(Nope. Not my problem!)
"W… what?" Rosemary sputtered. "But… but… I need your help!"
(You need 'my' help, for what?) She said, looking back with a bored look again.
"I… I need that power to catch a criminal, a Poke-rapist!" She said, deciding the only way to convince her would be to plead her case. "He's using Salazzle pheromones combined with Enigma berry juice to hypnotize female Pokemon, and then violates them without them realizing it. Then when their senses return they have no memory of the incident, I know who his next target is but I can't stop him or catch him without the power of the Totems! I'm no match for those pheromones, but Totems are unaffected by it, and the only way to get it is-"
(Is for me to bestow it upon you or for you to receive it by being chosen after years of training.) She said in boredom, waving her hands around nonchalantly. (Not my problem. You want to catch him, ask humans to help, this doesn't require my power, and I don't see any reason to get involved in something petty.)
"Petty, PETTY?" She screamed in rage. "You think, that females being raped against their wills, feeling unsafe and insecure, cowering in fear and afraid of everyone around them while a human goes around violating whoever he wants without respite is 'petty'?"
Tapu Lele waved her hand and floated the picture of Trent before her.
(If you were with this human who looks like a human of law, you'd not need the Tapu's power to catch this human.) She said plainly. (What you want is revenge, this is personal for you, as such its petty to me. I have more important and worthy uses of my power, I see no reason to get involved in this personal conflict between you and some 'rapist'.)
"After what he did to me, made me to do Trent… I can't just let him… he has to PAY!" Rosemary roared in fury, before assuming a battle stance. "You call yourself a Tapu, these people worship you because you protect them! And yet you'd let this bastard roam free? You're not worthy of the name Tapu!"
Instantly Tapu Lele turned around to look at Rosemary, and her eyes were glowing pink the entire time. Around her the air became weird as a purple aura surrounding them. She could feel the power radiating around her, and felt that she had pushed the Tapu just a little bit further then she intended
(Quite the claim… little 'Roserade'.) Tapu Lele said seriously. (Very well, you seek my power, you think I will just give it to you? So be it, best me and I will make you a Totem!) Then she grinned. (Fail to win, and I'll never listen to you or any of your kind ever again, for as long as your species lives…)
She quivered slightly but shook her head and prepared her powders for battle. She had to win this, she needed that power, and she would indeed endure any pain or torture that this Tapu would throw against her.
She opened the battle with a blast of her stun spore, her plan was if she could slow the Tapu she could overpower her with her powders and drain her of strength.
Tapu Lele however grinned as she raised a hand and blasted the spores away from her so that they blew away. Then she spun her arms in a circular pattern and flung a ball of psychic energy against her.
Rosemary jumped away and threw another stun spore against the Tapu, who grinned again and repeated her previous action. Lele spun in a circle gathered another ball of energy, this time green and flung it at Rosemary.
The energy ball collided with her and she barely felt its effects, and threw poison powder this time against the Tapu, hoping to wear her down. Yet this time Tapu Lele grinned and let the powder affect her. Rosemary confused only watched as Tapu Lele began spinning in a circle as a sweet scent filled the air.
"Aromatherapy…" She whispered to herself, recognizing the scent.
Tapu Lele grinned as she waited for Rosemary's next move, smiling as she glared back.
"Graaah!" Rosemary yelled as she launched her vine whip, attacking the Tapu with all the speed and furry she could.
Lele dodged every attack, smiling and grinning as the Roserade attacked the Tapu and tried to deal damage however she could. Then Lele gathered her power and launched a Psyshock attack, sending rocks enveloped in psychic energy at Rosemary, who felt their full force in painful bursts. She got up and tried to fight back, before she watched as the Tapu clamped he shell tight and began glowing in fairy energy.
(Guardian of Alola!)
The earth rumbled, and she felt the earth surge beneath her, as a giant yellow 'figure' without a head rose from beneath her. Then Tapu Lele mounted the body using her shell as the head and raised a giant fist above Rosemary.
All Rosemary could do was stare in awe at the power of the Tapu, as she was smashed by the sheer strength of the attack.
She felt so much pain coursing through her body, unfathomable pain, her body just screamed in pain with each second that passed. She lifted her head to look up at Lele as she stared down at her.
(You never stood a chance.) She said with no hint of giddiness or cruelty.
It was worse, said in a tone of utter facts, where there was no refuting or denying her words. They were truth, and any attempts to alter it would be futile and useless.
(If you had only 'thought' with your head, you might have known this… but you have failed.) She said in a voice of finality. (Now I will uphold my promise, I will no longer deign your kind with my time… all because you had to have your petty revenge…)
(Tapu Lele's PoV)
Lele turned to leave, having grown bored of the battle, when she felt her energy becoming sapped ever so slightly. She turned to see the Roserade shakily getting to her feet, panting and covered in dirt and absorbing her energy via Giga Drain.
"I'm not beaten yet!" She said.
Lele sighed, guessing that she would have to wait on her favorite meal time with master until this matter was dealt with.
(As you wish~) She said, before raising her hand and causing the Roserade to levitate up.
She used her psychic attack and flung the Roserade from side to side, slamming her into the ground. She did it again, spinning her and swinging her around before throwing her into the air to land on the ground via gravity. It was like she was playing with a doll her master had given her, moving the Roserade as she willed with her mind.
She watched the Roserade's body twitch and assumed that that attack was all she needed, and turned to return to her sanctuary, before again, she felt a powdery substance land on her shoulder. Again, the Roserade was standing up, but this time kneeling heavily, and arms outstretched from casting the Stun Spore.
"Not… finished… yet!"
She raised her eyebrow, slightly impressed, for a poison type that last attack would have fainted even the healthiest poison type not immune to her power. She nodded in understanding, before spinning around and causing another Aromatherapy to swirl and cure her of the stun spore. Then she used her psychic powers to lift the Roserade again, assaulted her mind with her attack, and then created rocks out of psychic energy to assault the poison/grass type.
The Roserade, after being assaulted was almost bleeding slightly, bearing bruises and scars, and now face down in the ground and barely breathing.
Lele waited a full minute before believing that the Roserade had finally, had enough, and moved to leave.
Then she felt a tug on her arm and looked to see a vine holding her feebly. Looking back, she was astonished to see that the Roserade was still conscious, looking up weakly, holding onto her as if she were clinging to life by a tiny thread.
"Not… lost… yet!" She whispered painfully.
Lele sighed, no longer finding this battle fun, and swatted the vine away before summoning her power again and condensing it into a powerful blast of electric energy. Energy gathered she launched her thunderbolt at the Roserade, wracking the small 3-foot Pokemon's body with powerful electric surges, causing the Roserade to twitch and scream in pain.
She ended it after smelling the Pokemon's cape beginning to singe and stared as the Roserade's body barely moved.
Attack done she began to leave again but paused as she heard something drag behind her. Once more, she turned and stared, this time in shock, as the Roserade was staring back at her through one barely open eye, dragging her body one handed toward the Tapu. Her legs were paralyzed, she had burn marks, her body wracked with pain, and even barely clinging to consciousness…
Yet she still would not accept the inevitable?
(Why do you keep fighting?) She asked as the Roserade came closer.
The Roserade in response, used her one arm and sent a single vine to wrap around the Tapu's arm, feebly trying to drag her down.
"I… must… win…" She gasped. "I… need… your… power!"
Lele raised her eyes, very impressed. (Why?)
The Roserade lifted herself up through sheer will, and beneath her was the picture. "I… wont… let him… get away…" She whispered painfully. "He… turned me… against him… my love… my heart… he made… my body… my own… enemy! Turned me… against him… I… must… get him… I must…)
Lele simply stared back, before glancing at her own Love Ball. (So… you fight for your love… just as 'she' fought for 'him'.) She commented. (I see… I can't win anymore.)
She smiled warmly, before lifting the Roserade's limp form to look at her.
(You have won little Roserade… this battle is yours.) She said warmly.
The Roserade's confusion was evident on her face. "How?" She whispered painfully.
(I can break your body, I can crush your bones, I can even take your life if I so wished. I can leave you nothing more than a shell of yourself as a tortured withering mass of what you were after your mind is broken… but your heart… your heart cannot be defeated. Nothing I do will break your heart, and as long as your heart remains so too will you. I can only kill you now… I cannot 'defeat' you.) She declared as she gathered her power. (So, I concede this battle to you. You have won, and I shall keep my word… I shall make you a 'Totem'.)
She pushed the Roserade away and wrapped the little Pokemon in a special aura of energy. Her body became bombarded by the energy, and as it did her injuries became healed, and her body grew in size.
She grew from her small size of three feet to six feet two.
The process took only a few minutes, and all the while the Totem smiled proudly. Few creatures in her life had ever earned her respect, one of those was her 'master', the second was a young lad who battled her with nothing but a Silvally, and now this Roserade who was willing to die to prove worthy of this power.
Truly, foreigners were amazing.
As the transformation was completed, Rosemary the Roserade was gently levitated to the ground and stood up to look at her body.
"I'm… bigger…" She commented.
(You're a totem, as totem energy fills your body, it needs an adequate vessel to contain it.) She said. (You don't think the other Totems are that size for no reason, do you? Now that you are Totem, you have much responsibility to prove worthy of it!)
Rosemary nodded and knelt before her. "Alright… I thank you for this gift."
Lele nodded and patted Rosemary's head. (I give to you my blessings and my power, go forth and capture this human… but remember this power's restrictions. While you are engaged in battle your body will enter the state of emitting Totem Aura. It will not dissipate until battle ends, and the power you gain from it is only temporary, once it passes you will return to the same strength you had before. Your size will remain, but your aura will only emit after engaging in battle and activating the aura. You can only activate it only in 'defense' of yourself, or others… I will not allow you to act cruelly or hurt others out of malice or with evil intent.)
She smiled and lifted the Roserade's arms and held them.
(This Totem Energy will grant you stronger powers, greater stamina, and more importantly a clearer mind. The aura of the Totems will make your mind sharper, your body more durable, and it will protect you from the effects of 'lesser' creatures… but your heart will still be yours.)
Rosemary shifted and began crying.
(Why do you cry little Totem?) She asked, surprised by the Roserades' reaction.
"Because… this power… I wanted it… for Trent. To protect myself for his sake after what happened. But now looking like this… there's no way we can hide what we are." She said. "Now I'm afraid… if anyone realizes… what Trent and I… are… they'll think he's no different… then the bastard I'm… they'll think he's just like him…"
Tapu Lele lifted the Roserade's head up and smiled warmly.
(You are not the first to love a human… you will 'not' be the last…) She said. (Many are just like you, hiding what they are… for fear of what they risk losing if discovered. Others do not care, and show off for all because they need not worry, because for every bad human there is a good human to match. Just as there's a good Pokemon for every bad one…)
She nodded and patted the Roserade's head now.
(You have what you wanted, the Totem Power is yours, I name you 'Justice Totem of Akala', youngest of the Totems. I task you with cleaning and removing the filth that taints my island in my name. You need not worry of 'trial goers', your task is more vital than those of the others. Now go, protect the island's inhabitants… with your love to shield and strengthen your heart's resolve.)
Rosemary nodded and ran off, leaving Lele behind and smiling.
(Honestly, she thinks 'that's' illegal here?) She questioned. (Why do you think there are so few people here compared to other places? Pokemon are friendlier with humans because for every dozen normal human couple here, there's at least one pokemon/human couple to equal it.)
She giggled as she thought about the 'tradition' of Melemele, in which a clan of Primarinas offers one daughter every ten years to become a partner to a trainer, as part of a tradition that was started to honor a loving partnership, centuries ago.
It started when a young female Popplio was saved by a human boy of ten years old, joined him on his trial journey out of a desire to see the world, and then many years later, the two fell in love and became mates. After she told her clan of her journey, her life, and her newfound love, her clan took up the practice and offered not only a random Popplio egg to those beginning their island challenge, but also a female Popplio already hatched every ten years, in honor of that first couple.
(We've always been together from the start in this world we live in.) She giggled as she turned and 'finally' went back to her sanctuary. (If we started out together, why shouldn't we be together?)
(Rosemary's PoV)
It had taken the Roserade a bit of getting used to when it came to her new body. Inside she felt no different, but her sheer size made it obvious that things were way different. She no longer needed to use her Vine Whip to travel, nor did she need to fear the other Pokemon, quite the opposite, seeing her they either left her alone or got out of her way. It seemed that her newfound status as a Totem Pokemon granted her great respect and even 'fear' from the native Pokemon species.
When she reached her destination, the trainer had already gone to work, and it had taken much convincing to get the scared Pokemon inside to let her in. Once inside she had to talk fast and get the Kanto Vulpix to hide and used a pillow to mask her hiding under the blanket on a bed while she hid in the nearby closet.
Then she waited…
It didn't take long, an hour after she arrived she heard someone open the door downstairs.
"Man, this girl's such an idiot… leaving the door unlocked." She heard him said. "Now where are you sweetie~"
She creaked the closet open and watched the slime ball enter.
"Ah, there you are… all tired huh, well you'll be up soon…"
She took a deep breath and smelled that scent, that alluring, wonderfully sweet scent tickling her mind and attempt to cloud her judgement. This time however, that cloud was swept aside as she ignored it, feeling a strange shield cover her. It was as if a will, greater than even her own, was shielding her mind.
'Tapu Lele' She thought happily.
The guy lifted the blanket and was stunned to see only a pillow.
"What the…"
She grinned, as she slammed the closet door open. "Don't you know it's 'rude' to enter a girl's room without her permission?"
"Wha… who…"
"You remember me huh?" She growled as she stepped toward him. "Last time we met I was a bit 'smaller', and unable to resist you… and you used me… abused me… without even touching me…"
"How are you… why aren't you affected?" He stammered.
"You used my body… turned me against my partner… my human… I never felt so violated without ever being touched once in my whole life." She continued angrily. "I had no choice but to ask the Tapu, she gave me this power, gave me this strength to catch you. I sacrificed all that I was before, to become what I am now… all to end your criminal spree of violating female Pokemon…"
He tripped backward and grabbed whatever he could and flung it at her, in response she used her vine to defend herself. Instantly she felt enormous power surge from somewhere, feeling it coat her body and feeling even more powerful.
She lowered her arm and stared at the aura surrounding her.
"Shouldn't have done that 'buddy'!" She giggled, mirroring his words.
The human tried to run, and she easily kept pace, throwing anything he tried to fling at her out of the way. She chased him down the stairs and into the living space, where he was trying to find anything to defend himself with. She watched him fumbling with a perfume bottle that she instantly recognized as 'Essence of Salazzle', the perfume they'd seen and speculated he was using. She watched him spray himself vigorously with it, strengthening its scent.
Well it certainly became stronger, but as Tapu Lele said, her new Totem Aura and the energy she had was defending her from its effects. The cloud was unable to pierce her mental armor and her emotional shield.
She grinned as he saw it wasn't working, and feebly flung it at her in defense. She whipped it out of the air and let it smash against the wall.
"I'm going to enjoy this…" She growled. "For what you made me do to Trent, and for what you made me 'feel'… you're going to pay for every second of…"
As suddenly as she had the thought to exact some revenge on this human, she felt her powers begin to fade rapidly. She looked down and saw that the aura had faded to nothing quickly.
"No… no not now!" She muttered as she shook herself, trying to regain that aura, feeling the smell's effect teasing and trying to taint her mind.
'Remember what I said… your new powers are to defend yourself and those around you, I will 'not' allow you to use them in any act of malice or with evil intent!' She heard Lele giggle in her mind.
She looked up at the Human and felt her mind beginning to cloud, despite her new Totem Aura energy, it seemed that the human had coated himself in so much Salazzle pheromones that it was starting to crack even that shield. She felt her body beginning to react ever slightly…
"Well, looks like someone's plan backfired…" He said slowly approaching her. "It's not always I meet a Pokemon that's as tall as a human, but that new look makes you quite 'hot' for your species…"
She tried to back away, but she could not move for some reason, her body remained glued to where she stood, confused about the smells and sensations coursing through it. Part of her wanted him while the rest screamed in defiance.
That was when she saw someone out of the corner of her eye.
"Now don't worry, I'll take good care of…" He began saying before the figure behind him tapped his shoulder.
"Let go of 'my' girl." Trent snarled, as he slammed his fist into his face.
The rapist was knocked out cold, and Trent heaved heavily as he leaned against the couch. "Trent!" She said, racing toward him and helping him up. "You were supposed to be in bed for another day, why are you here?"
"Heh, a good partner, never leaves their partner alone for a day…" He muttered as he held up a medicine bottle. "That and the nurse gave me this after getting tired of me constantly trying to leave. Nice job by the way, leaving me where you were going to be at the office."
"Yea… I forgot to turn your computer off…" She muttered.
"I'll ask why you're so big later… for now… let's wait for the cops to finally show up, they'll be here soon enough." He muttered while pulling out a pair of handcuffs. "Alright bub, you got the right to remain silent, if you choose to forgo that right you'll probably bore me to tears. Then again, your unconscious after that upper cut, so let's just say I read you your rights and call it a day."
She smiled as she watched Trent cuff the criminal, happy to see him again after what she was forced to do. Yet while she watched she felt her body heating up in desire yet again, the Salazzle pheromones once again affecting her mind and body.
She shrugged them off, trying to get the Totem Energy to push them back, but it seemed the strength of the perfume was too much and all she could do was hold them off. That's when she smelled 'two' scents, one overwhelmingly strong and the other not nearly as strong but now very noticeable.
She watched Trent get up and half drag, half walk the criminal out the door as the cops showed up and had an idea.
Her body wanted a mate, and she had a mate in mind.
Her nether region began to get wet in response.
(Trent's and Rosemary's PoV)
It was hours later after they had filed their reports, answered questions and gave the police all the information they'd need to send the guy away for life if not longer. All the while, many female Pokemon at the office had to be kept away from him, and Trent to an extent because of the pheromones still surrounding the two of them. But finally, close to midnight she and Trent went home, where she explained how she became a 'Totem' under the orders of Tapu Lele to protect the inhabitants of her island.
"And so… I'm larger now, I have power when needed, but I'm not allowed to use it out of malice or for evil acts." She said, noting how she also spoke clearer since becoming a Totem.
"That is incredible, but that was a big risk, attacking and angering the Tapus. You know how dangerous they can be." He said to her.
"I had to, I couldn't live with myself if he got away with 'another' victim…" She muttered.
He hugged his Roserade girlfriend and held her close. "Well you did a good thing today, he won't be hurting anyone ever again, and thanks to you those girls will have peace of mind knowing the one who violated them will be in jail."
She smiled back and hugged him as well, breathing in his scent, and smelling the remnants of the Salazzle pheromones left on him. "You know Trent… my body still is betraying me… it wants a male." She whispered seductively. "And my beloved… you know… you've caught the bad guy, put him away, and rescued the girl in her most dire hour." She looked up and grinned. "I think that deserves a reward…"
He smiled back and held her chin. "You know… I've been thinking Rosemary… we've been together for years… we've been doing this song and dance for a while now… and neither of us are getting any younger."
She blushed at those words, not daring to believe that she was going to hear what was coming next, not until he uttered them. "What are you saying Trent?"
"I'm saying… will you marry me?" He asked warmly.
She beamed happily and nodded. "Yes, yes I will!"
With that they both leaned in for a kiss, with Rosemary holding Trent close and him holding her closer. They each closed their eyes and deepened the kiss, each one trying to taste the other as much as possible. Rosemary opened her mouth just enough to press her tongue against Trent's mouth, poking it for permission to enter, and he soon obliged and let it enter.
Soon he was tasting Rosemary's exotic plant essence of her mouth in his, and she was feeling his mouth essence inside hers. Rosemary's tongue was soft and tasted of various flowers, roses and tulips, mayflowers and wildflowers. Trent's however tasted of various berry flavored energy drinks and a host of other things, all traits of his apatite because of his job, yet to her they tasted like the sweet nectar of life.
Trent leaned her backward and onto their nearby bed, and she obliged and let him take the lead. After years of being unable to do this, she felt the love inside of her blooming in full as she laid down with him on top.
Their love had been but a budded flower, closed and containing the love they cherished. Now she felt her love beginning to bloom, and revel in the joy she's wanted to enjoy in.
She maneuvered his arm to rub her lower body and begin stimulating her 'flower', preparing it for the love making session to come. She moaned happily as he kissed her cheeks and then began kissing her nape, blushing as she felt her unfelt body taste the fruits of her love.
She gasped after a while as she felt a sting of pain from her lower body, and knew that the taste, the sensation, and more importantly the smell was driving her body insane. Her body had felt denied once, now the delay of this second time was starting to cause it pain. She needed release soon or it would begin to be painful.
"Trent… I need something now…" She whispered hotly. "My body… it feels so hot."
"Are you alright?" He asked nervously.
"Your body… it's still covered in that man's Salazzle pheromones." She whispered. "It's been driving me crazy, and even as a Totem, my body can't resist its full strength. It wanted him at first… but now that you have his scent, it wants you."
She looked at him with pleading eyes, begging him behind her mask-like face.
"I resisted it with all my heart, but my body couldn't, yet I fought with all my heart because it wasn't 'you'… but now that it's you… I don't need to resist… and I can't stand it any longer."
He smiled and leaned in closer. "Don't worry Rosemary, I won't deny you any longer."
She smiled back and nodded and waited for Trent to relieve her pain.
It wouldn't take long as he rubbed her extremely puffed sex, feeling the intense heat coming from it and more importantly how moist it was. Her body was crying for him and releasing her own pheromones for him. Those pheromones were enticing him now and driving him to make love to her.
His member had become quite hard and now feeling restricted inside of his pants. Quickly he unbuckled and released his dick for her to see, and she stared at it hungrily.
She felt him touch the entrance of her sex and instantly the pain eased only 'slightly', but returned in higher amount when he didn't put it in.
"Stop teasing… please!" She moaned.
"Are you reading Rosemary?" He asked.
She smiled and nodded. "My flower… has always been ready for you." She whispered lovingly. "It's been so dry for all these years… now water it down at long last my love!"
He nodded and kissed her lovingly, before prodding her entrance and slowly entering her.
"Hmmnnng…" She moaned as she felt his dick enter her body, her walls stretching as they felt his length enter her.
She was very tight, being a Virgin her entire life, and while he wasn't quite the same (having dated in college), he found that she was more 'welcoming' than any other girl he's been with. Her body seemed to wrap around his dick, reshaping itself to perfectly suit him, and massage it with its heat and velvety softness. Despite not having a hymen, she felt the pain of having something in her body for the first time.
Yet at the same time she felt a 'cool' sensation flow into her, as if her walls were a hot surface and his dick was an ice cube.
Moments after entering he felt himself hilt and touch a wall that bulged at his prodding.
"Trent…" She moaned as he began to thrust in and out. "My womb… your touching the entrance to my womb…"
"I'm happy I can… reach it!"He chuckled, surprised he could reach that far into her.
"Yes… but I want you… 'inside' it…" She moaned, wrapping her legs around him and aiding him. "Harder, push harder!"
He obligated her request and began grunting as he shoved harder and harder into her body. Each time he pulled out her walls tightened and tried to keep him from leaving, but with each thrust in they relaxed and massaged him lovingly. Rosemary was blushing and panting all the while, wrapping her rose arms around him and releasing her pheromones into the air.
Her mind was letting her heart and body define her actions, her heart was happy, and her body was happy, and the only way to make herself happier was by prolonging and enhancing the lovemaking. These pheromones would keep Trent going for as long as his body could.
She smiled and pulled Trent into a kiss, blushing madly and licking her lover like the world was ending, all the while flinching in pleasure each time he thrusted into her.
Then she felt her womb being prodded repeatedly, feeling his dick trying to gain entrance and she wanted to grant it. Yet her body seemed to be stubborn in this request, and she had to negotiate with it to achieve the result.
She leaned in and pulled Trent closer, bending ever so slightly so that the angle he was thrusting in would give him just a bit more 'length' into her body.
Moments later she felt her womb entrance break open, and felt his dick finally slide cleanly into her.
She gasped in pleasure as she began pushing back into each of his thrusts, feeling the tip brush her womb entrance again and again.
"Yes! Right there!" She moaned happily. "My womb, you're in my womb!"
"It feels amazing Rosemary…" He groaned back, before kissing her again.
She moaned in pleasure as he continued to sensually rub her backside, continuing to thrust into her body, feeling the heat and pleasure she was giving him.
Rosemary was a beautiful Pokemon to him, absolutely beautiful to him when compared to other people and Pokemon. She was beautiful in that she 'loved' him, loved him so much that she endured all the torture his job forced upon him. She disliked and even hated the things he had to do to keep people 'and' Pokemon remotely safe. Yet still she loved him, because 'he' made her pain and feelings about the world better.
And he loved her, because at the end of the worst days he'd have, she was there to brighten his day.
She stared at him lovingly, blushing all the while. She continued to pant and moan but she refused to look away, refused to stare at anything else but the eyes of her lover.
"Inside…" She whispered.
He nodded in understanding before attacking her mouth again in another kiss.
She gripped him tighter as she felt his dick become bigger, twitching as it signaled the inevitable release.
"Hmmhmmhmm…"
He thrust into her several times before he hilted as hard as he could and felt his dick explode into her womb.
"Ghaaaaaaaaa~!" She cried out in pleasure as Trent continued to grip her body to him as tightly as possible.
They panted heavily as they looked down at where their bodies were connected, eyeing their combined juices leaving her body and onto the bed.
Then they stared at each other and began ravishing their mouths against one another again, with Trent carrying Rosemary to the wall to ram into her pussy like a Tauros.
Their minds had gone blank for the night, replaced by instinct, desire, and lust for one another.
They had mated each other for the sake of love and passion. Now that their love for one another was sated, the leftover Salazzle pheromones and Roserade mating pheromones had driven them to simply mate for the sole purpose of procreation.
She was pounded by him in different positions, standing, sitting, lying on top of him, every way imaginable, all so she could milk him of his sperm to fertilize an egg inside of her. She didn't know how long they went at it, and neither did Trent, all they knew was they only stopped because their bodies were simply too exhausted to continue.
The next morning Rosemary woke up weary eyed and bloody eyed, her body wreaking of expired pheromones and smelling of sex. Her lower region was 'stained', so much that the area around her pussy was half pink from the constant pounding and white from all the cum.
"What time is it…" She muttered, looking over at their clock. "One pm? How long were we… uuuugh…" She groaned and felt her belly, before staring in shock at how large it was.
Nervously she felt her belly and poked it, feeling a 'hardness' underneath her green skin.
"An egg… but… we 'just' mated last night?" She muttered in shock. "How… no Pokemon species procreates that fast… I've heard of crazy parenthoods from Daycare tales, but this is insane!"
At that she felt a mind poke her own brain, and heard thoughts enter her head that weren't her own.
'Forgot to mention this when we were face to face, but when you become Totem, everything about you 'grows', including how fast your procreation speed is. Sorry if any 'accidents' happen~' She heard Tapu Lele giggle in her mind.
She groaned as she heard that news, not looking forward to explaining to Trent how he became a father in the last few hours.
Then she noticed on the bed stand the picture of her and Trent, when she was still a tiny Roserade, looking happy alongside him.
"My picture… but how did you get here?"
'You left that outside my sanctuary, next time take care of it, I don't approve of 'litter'.'
She smiled warmly as she stared it, and only whispered her thanks.
"Well… guess we better rest while we can…" She muttered as she leaned into her husband's chest. "Daddy is going to need quite a bit of 'explaining' when he wakes up."
