114 days until extermination day

Nathan snored loudly in his sleep before being woken up by Charlie's lampent. "Phantom flare? What's up…?" He said groggily. "Lampent lamp!" He said pointing out the door.

After getting dressed, Nathan followed the lampent downstairs where he found, to his surprise, Charlie near what looked like a giant conspiracy board; she appeared to be mumbling to herself while the others and the Pokémon were concerned. "Uh… Charlie…?" Nathan asked hastily, causing the princess to turn around with a massive crack, she appeared to be extremely out of it, her eyes were bloodshot, her hair was frizzy and her face looked insane, Nathan immediately recoiled in fear. "Y-You ok…?" He finished, fearfully. "No.. I've been up all night trying to find out why the hotel isn't WORKING!" She replied madly, crushing a paper in her hand. "We've done trust falls! We've shared our feelings! We only have a few more MONTHS LEFT UNTIL THE ANGELS COME HAHAHAHAHAHA!" She laughed as her horns emerged with a laugh that loosely sounded like Alastor. "DRAGASUR! COFFEE!" The Druddigon then hastily gave a cup of coffee before his trainer grabbed it and chugged it down in one gulp before throwing the cup on the ground and shattering it on impact. "How many of those have you had?" Vaggie asked hastily. "I don't know! Two three, I LOST COUNT AFTER 52!" She answered as her left eye twitched. "Ok… I think you should lay that stuff off for the next couple days…." Nathan said hastily.

Vaggie then thought up a risky suggestion. "Maybe it's time…" "No!" Charlie pleaded. "To ask…" "DON'T SAY IT!" "Your dad." Vaggie finished as Charlie sighed. "Charlie I know you don't want to but we need every advantage we can get! We already have Xerneas on our side!" Vaggie pleaded. "She does have a point!" Nathan replied. "If he's the ruler of hell, then he surely has enough power to help the hotel! Heck he could even cancel the extermination!" "He allowed the extermination to begin with!" Charlie argued. "They had a meeting and said 'go ahead and kill everyone!'!" Charlie then gasped as an idea formed in her head. "That's it!" "Kill everyone?" Vaggie asked, confused as nifty pulled out a knife and Shadowsaber switched to her blade form. "No! He could get me and Nathan a meeting with heaven!" Charlie corrected. "Didn't we already try that?" Vaggie questioned. "And failed miserably? Not to mention that the angels teamed up with LITERAL TERRORISTS?" Nathan added. "Yeah, with Adam! He was an asshole!" Charlie reminded. "But I'm sure he's not in charge of all of heaven! We could go to the top! I'm sure there are some angels who will listen!"

Charlie then looked at her phone, scrolled through her contacts before arriving at her dad's. "What's the hold up? You got daddy issues or something?" Husk asked as Charlie hesitated. "No! We just have never been close!" Charlie replied hastily. "After he and mom split, he never really wanted to see me… he calls every now and then, but only if he's bored or needs me to do something for him!" "Daddy issues…." Husk commented to the others. "Well I'd like to meet the big d!(k in charge!" Angel commented. "The ultimate bad boy!" Nifty giggled before Angel plucked the knife away from her. "I bet he's scary!"

Elsewhere in a workshop with multiple photos of Charlie's family. The lord of hell itself was tinkering with his newest creation. "That's it… almost there…." He said to himself before pulling out his creation. "Now presenting! THE MAGIC-TASTICAL BACK-FLIPPING RUBBER DUCK!" He cheered, showing off his rubber ducky that did a little flip. "That SPITS FIRE!" The rubber duck then demonstrated a blast of fire that came from its mouth. The lord of hell then stood proudly to his audience of rubber ducks that flooded the workshop, Lucifer himself was somewhat short with similar features to his daughter, such as the pure white skin, rosy cheeks blond hair and yellow skletta with red pupils. He was dressed similarly to a circus ringmaster with a wide-brimmed white top hat with a golden snake and a red apple over golden spikes, which resembled a crown, and a red-lined and red-trimmed white popped-collared suit with several golden buttons. His coat was worn over a light red-and-white striped waistcoat with two golden buttons and a small, accessorized black bow tie, a set of heeled black knee-high boots, and a golden ring on his left pinky. He showed off his creations to his imaginary audience. "Oh who am I kidding? This sucks!" He yelled, throwing his failed experiment on one of the photos of him and his family, he grimaced at it before his phone rang and freaked out on the caller ID. "Daughter? DAUGHTER CALLING!?" He panicked. "'Oh hello Charlie!' 'Hey Char-Char!' No NO! That's not good! this is the first time she's called you in years, this has to be perfect…." Lucifer took a deep breath before answering. "HEEEY B#(H!" He greeted, already regretting that line on the inside. "Hi dad!" Charlie said on the other end. "Hey! How are you!?" Lucifer laughed. "Where are you these days?" "You already know dad! I've told you before!" Charlie answered. "You have? Oh…." Lucifer then stumbled on his words in discomfort. "I told you when you called me a few months ago? Or did you not listen?" "No nonono, just forgot you know, been really busy! With… important things!" Lucifer said as he kicked a small rubber duck.

"Well, I've actually been running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners! Maybe you saw our commercial?" Charlie reminded. "Oh sadly I… missed it! You know I haven't been watching too much TV lately, it scrambles the brain!" Lucifer replied. "But hey! A hotel! Fun!" "Dad, I've got… kind of a big ask…." Lucifer then coughed up some tea upon hearing those words. "Uh huh! Yeah of course, anything in my power is yours just name it!" Charlie then took a deep breath. "Well… I need to speak to heaven, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam above anyone, I need to go TO THE TOP!" "No! No… noooo! Charlie no!" "Well dad, I don't ask you for much, I never have but this is really important to me, it's the most important thing I've ever done and…" Vaggie held her partner's hand. "I… need you, I need your help." "Yeah… I don't know Charlie…." Lucifer replied hastily. "Please just… Come see what I'm trying to do, you'll see why it's a really good idea and heaven's bound to listen if I get a chance to talk to them!" Lucifer then turned to the photo of his family. "Please… dad…." "Wait, are you inviting me OVER!?" He yelled gleefully. "ABSOLUTELY I'LL BE THERE IN AN HOUR!" He then hung up and spun around his apple cane. "My daughter wants to see meeee! TAKE THAT DEPRESSION!"

"Welp we have an hour until he gets here!" Charlie informed. "Ok people! Lucifer is on his way!" Vaggie ordered as the rest of guests stood straight. "So we are going to get this place presentable and make an AMAZING impression! Vamanios!" The rest of staff and patrons went off to help make the hotel presentable for Lucifer's visit. "Everyone help out with the place!" Charlie and Nathan said at the same time, deploying their Pokémon before they immediately scattered across the hotel. "C'mon let's get you cleaned up!" Nathan said as he tried to fix up Charlie's nasty appearance.

As they were preparing, a knock on the door was heard. "Oh s#!t! He's here already!?" Charlie yelled as her girlfriend rushed to the door. "I'm sorry but you might have to…" Vaggie stopped upon realizing who it actually was. "Uh Nathan…!" She hollered at her friend. "You have a visitor…." Nathan turned to see none other than Xerneas at the door, she bent her head forward to find her ally, who rushed over to her. "Uh, am I interrupting something…?" She asked. "Oh no no no! Just getting ready for a visit with Lucifer!" Nathan answered. "Well, I might have found a lead to our other problem." Xerneas replied as she generated several colors. "Being a legendary Pokémon of life means I can sense the auras of many different beings, plants, Pokémon, and even other legendaries." "Does that mean?" "I can use this to track down Yveltal! But there is some good news and bad news." Xerneas said worriedly. "The good news is that his aura is still here meaning he hasn't left hell yet, but the bad news is that since there are so many auras here, it's gonna be hard to properly track him down!" "Well at least we know he is still here, but where…?"

Before Nathan could think he was interrupted by Alastor appearing before him. "Greetings my friend!" Nathan immediately fell backwards, startled by Al's sudden appearance. "What do you want, Alastor?" "Just wondering what the fuss is all about!" Alastor replied, spinning his cane a bit and laying his hand on a nearby railing. "Oh, we were just getting ready to see Charlie's dad!" Those words made Alastor sniff as he clawed on the railing. "Charlie's dad…? As in…" "Lucifer Morningstar, yeah him!" Nathan answered before hearing static but under it he could hear Alastor grinding his teeth as if he was upset about something. "Are you ok…?" "Oh, I'm fine really!" Alastor said gleefully. "Just a little surprised is all…."

Later on, Charlie had gathered everyone at the front entrance. "Ok everyone it's SHOWTIME!" Charlie then opened the door with her father standing on the other side. "CHARLIE!" He greeted gleefully before giving his daughter a great big hug. "Oh it's so good to SEE you!" Charlie then looked up seeing Alastor standing beside them with his eye twitching. "It's Ah good to see you too dad!" She said before letting go to breathe. "Welcome to the hazbin hotel!" The princess greeted as several poppers went off. Soon keekee then strolled up to the lord of hell and purred near him. "Oh hey wittle keekee!" He said before the goat bodyguards flew up to greet him as well. "Razzle, Dazzle! Look how much you haven't grown! Still funsized!" He giggled. "Are you taking good care of my little girl? You better be…."

Lucifer then looked around the rest of the hotel. "This place sure looks Ah… haha! Yeah." He commented. "It's Ah… got a lot of character! OH! What in the unholy hell is that!?" He yelled seeing the bar area. "Just some of the renovations I made to this place! Adds a bit of color, don't you think?" Alastor answered. "And you are…?" Lucifer asked before the radio demon warped behind him. "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you sir!" He greeted, shaking the demon king's hand before whipping it on his jacket. "Quite a pleasure! So nice to finally put a face to the name! You are much shorter in real life!" "Who is this? Who's this? Are you the bellhop?" Lucifer questioned. "Aha! No! I am the host of the hotel!" Alastor answered. "You might have heard of me from my radio broadcasts!" "Um… no! I guess that's why Charlie called it the 'hazbin hotel'! Hahaha!" "Hahaha! It was actually my idea!" "Haha! Well it's not very clever!" "HaHA! F*(k you…" those last words startled Nathan and his friends. He had never heard Alastor SWEAR before!

"Ok, ok! Anyway!" Charlie said as she tried to ease tensions between her father and Alastor. "Dad! This is our lovely parlor where we love to share secrets and stories and intimate feelings!" She giggled showing her dad the parlor. "Without Alastor, we would never have been able to pretty it up this much…." "Charlie has a very unique vision!" Alastor said as he strolled up to the two. "I'm happy to fulfill her bizarre requests!" Alastor then laid his hand on Charlie's shoulder, giving a look of outrage on the demon king's face. "Quite an impressive young lady! I'm very proud of her!" Alastor said as Charlie felt a sense of joy from those words. "Ah HEAM! Charlie? Why don't you introduce me to your OTHER Friends?" Lucifer interrupted. "Oh! Yes of course!" Charlie said as she strolled up and pulled Vaggie over first. "This is Vaggie, she's my girlfriend!" She said, giving a look of shock to her father's face. "Oh my golly! You like girls! So do I! WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!" He yelled. "You put her there, Maggie !" Lucifer then hugged Vaggie real hard, enough to crack bone. "Lovely to meet you… sir." The co-manager then let go as her girlfriend showed the rest of her friends. "And this is sir Pentious and Angel dust! Our guests!" "YOUR MAJESTY!" Sir Pentious yelled, saluting before falling onto the table. "Heya short king!" Angel said seductively. "Husk is our bartender and nifty is our housekeeper!" Charlie continued before nifty rushed to the king's chest. "Hi! I clean!" Nifty said before being pulled away by a familiar Noivern.

"And what is that?" Lucifer asked. "That would be mine!" The king turned around and saw Nathan standing there before he bowed before him. "Your hellishness!" He said dramatically. "Ok… no need for the dramatics, kid!" Lucifer replied as Nathan got back up. "Dad, this is the human I told you about!" Charlie explained, before Lucifer remembered what Charlie said over the phone. "Oh! You're Nathan! I heard a lot about you!" Lucifer greeted, shaking the human's hand. "Nice to meet you Mr Morningstar! You are not what I expected from the books!" Nathan replied. "Well they can't get everything right!" Lucifer replied as he let go. "You've made quite the name for yourself!" "For being the first human to enter hell?" "That, and you befriended not one, but THREE overlords, humiliated two others, convinced my daughter to enter the human realm, and you managed to capture Yveltal! So yeah! Quite the name!" Lucifer listed. "Say where is Yveltal anyway?" "Oh! He's Ah… currently missing BUUUT…." He then displayed a familiar other legend. "I did manage to get Xerneas to help!" "Oh! Xerny! Long time no see! How's the old holy grounds going?" "Quite well, though there are some questionable humans in heaven…." Xerneas answered. "Nathan's also been teaching me to be a Pokémon trainer!" "Poke what?" Charlie and Nathan then deployed their Pokémon. "They're the species you helped make with Arceus!" "The one mew was?" Lucifer asked to which they shook their heads yes. "Aww! Aren't you cute!" He said cutely, petting Charlie's Deino. "Mew actually managed to expand its species?" "Yeah, in fact we help each other out in my world!" Nathan replied. "Ha! HAHA! SUCK ON THAT ONE HEAVEN! I TOLD YOU A NEW SPECIES WOULD WORK OUT WITH HUMANITY!" Lucifer laughed pointing at the sky.

Suddenly the chandelier then fell from the ceiling and crashed down. "Yeah… the hotel is a bit of a fixer upper and we need all the help we can get…." Nathan explained as he rubbed the back of his head. "Alright then…." Lucifer laughed before cleaning the smoke and began his number.

"Looks like you could use some help!" He said to his daughter. "From the big boss of HELL ITSELF! Check out Daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp!" "Five stars!" "Flawless!" "Greater than great!" "You guys have Yelp here?" Nathan asked. "With a PUNCH of a pentagram!" Lucifer continued.

"A WHAM!"

"BAM!"

"BOOM!"

"ALAKAZAM!"

He then generated a ritual scene with razzle as a sacrifice. "Usually charged with a sacrificial Lamb… but you get the family rate!" "Thanks dad!" "Who needs a bus boy now that you've got the chef?" "wooo!" "Michelin tasting menu free á la carte!" "I'll rig the game for you because I'm the REF!" Lucifer then summoned various things to Charlie's catering. "Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just the staaaaart!"

Suddenly Alastor interrupted as he brought in his own argument. "Who's been here since day one?" He argued with the demon King before turning to his business partner. "Who's been faithful as a nun? Makes you chuckle with an old timey pun, your executive producer!" "That's true!" Charlie added. "I'm your guy! Your day to day! Your chum, your steadfast hotelier! Remember when I fixed that clog today?" Alastor remained as he pulled Niffty out of a toilet. "I was stuck! Thank you sir!" She thanked, dearly. "Oh you!" Charlie commented cutely. "Is that what that smell was?" Nathan questioned, holding his nose.

"I'm truly honored that we built such a bond!" Alastor said proudly as he danced with his partner before pulling her close. "Aww!" "You're like the child that I wish that I had!" "Uh what!?" Lucifer questioned before seeing Alastor tucking Charlie to bed like a child. "I care for you just like a daughter I spawned!" "Hold on now!" "It's a little funny! You could almost call me… DAAAAAD!" Lucifer then pulled out a golden fiddle from his hat and strummed it aggressively before Alastor retaliated with a piano before his enemy countered with an accordion.

"They say when you're looking for assistance!" Alastor said as two other massive books were stacked onto Charlie and Nathan's backs before they were lifted with black tendrils. "It's smart to pick the path of least resistance!"

"Others say that in your needy hours!" Lucifer argued. "There's no substitute for pure…" He then flew up into the sky with three pairs of angelic wings behind him, leaving both Nathan and Charlie in awe. "ANGELIC POWER!"

"Who just happens to also be your BLOOD!" "Sadly there are times when a birth parent is a dud! They say the family you choose is better!" "What a bunch of nonsense!" "Can you butt out of my song?" "Your song? I started this!" "I'm singing it and I'll finish it!" "Oh you tacky PIECE OF…"

Suddenly they were interrupted by someone completely new, it was a small rounded woman with purplish skin, black scaletta with red pie cut eyes, and dressed in a 1920's flapper dress. "It's MEE! Yes it's me!" She announced cheerfully. "I know you all were waiting for me!" She then danced around the hotel, throwing confetti everywhere. "I'm HEEERE! What a gasss! Took a while but I'm present at last! It's meee! It's meee! MIMZY!" "Who?" Lucifer asked as he and the rest of the hotel were confused. "Angel, did you invite a stripper over?" Nathan questioned, turning to the celebrity in question. "Why do I always get blamed for s#!t like this?" He complained.

"Didn't you just hear me?" The woman, Mimzy, questioned. "Why is everybody gawkin'? Is it cuz I'm adorable?" "Mimzy!" Alastor cheered as he approached the flapper with open arms. "Alastor! Sweetie, doll face! So good to see you!" Mimzy cheered. "How've you been? Good? Good!" The two then hugged each other closely before letting go. "Listen, I was in the neighborhood, I heard you were staying at this ritzy slob factory and figured I'd stop by! Say hi! For old time sake!" "Of course sweetheart!" Alastor replied proudly. "Everyone is welcome here!" "Oh! How nice! I take it you two know each other?" Charlie assumed. "Is she your girlfriend or something?" Nathan added. "Oh no! But we go way back! Ran in the same circles when we were alive!" Mimzy replied. "You know this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform, he's the only one who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor!" "Oh quite a talent, this gal!" Alastor commented proudly. "You should have seen her in her hay day!" "Watch it tall and creepy! I'm still in my prime!" "You couldn't be further from the truth…." Nathan mumbled. "And you must be Nathan!" Mimzy said, grabbing Nathan's hand and shaking it aggressively. "That's a mighty fine Noivern you got there! You know my old club had two of those blastin' their tunes like there's no tomorrow! Right before it was deemed illegal on account of the Pokémon rights act."

Mimzy then noticed the king of hell itself and the legendary Pokémon of life were there as well. "Oh! Oh my stars…!" He gasped. "Is that Lucifer and Xerneus?" She then pushed Sir Pentious aside before facing the royal. "Pleased to meet ya! Your highness and holiness!" She said bowing before turning to her old friend. "Alastor, you gotta WARN a girl when she's in mixed company!" She whispered. "Charmed I'm sure…." Lucifer replied, smiling awkwardly. "As much as I'd love to catch up, Charlie and I have a tour to continue!" Alastor said before Lucifer pushed her aside. "I'm sure Charlie can handle showing me…" "Nonsense! We started the hotel together, and we'll show it off together!" Alastor interrupted as he pushed Charlie aside as well. "Right Charlie…?" "Well… right!" Soon she, Vaggie and Lucifer went off to explore the rest of the hotel. "Why don't you let the others settle in and I'll be back before you know it!" Alastor told her friend before joining the others.

"So, where can a girl get a drink around here?" Mimzy asked as she strolled up to the bar, while husk growled. "My my, is that husker?" She asked. "Alastor still has you slinging houch for 'em I see? Classic! How've ya been?" "Good!" Husk answered, sarcastically. "Until five minutes ago…." "Oh don't tell me you're not happy to see me! You might hurt my feelings!" Mimzy said cutely before turning to the housekeeper. "Hey nifty, whatcha been up to girly?" "Fighting bugs!" Nifty answered. "And uh… how's that going for ya?" They're winning!" Nifty then pulled out a large knife, ready to butcher any vermin. "But not for long!" Husk then came back with a drink to Alastor's old friend. "Thanks pussycat!" "Aw f*(k you…." Husk mumbled before leaving.

Soon the three remaining guests strolled up to Mimzy. "So, you and Alastor… are like… friends?" Angel asked. "Well your words not mine! But I think it fits!" Mimzy laughed, the three then looked at each other awkwardly. "Why so surprised?" "I just didn't know he had any of those!" Angel answered. "He's been here a while and he's still a big creepy mystery!" "I always thought he was a wandering homeless person dressed in a fancy suit!" Nathan added. "What's his deal?" "Well you probably heard the stories…." Mimzy began. "He appeared in hell… suddenly! Making a splash quicker than anyone had ever seen! At first, people wanted to dismiss him! That is, until overlords started going missing, and not small time ones no! We're talking… heavy hitters! No one knew what happened to them until these strange radio broadcasts started going out! All you could hear were screams… every time an overlord went missing there would be a new voice SCREAMING in the broadcast! That's when Alastor himself was the radio demon! And anyone who'd mess with him… well… let's just say his broadcasts never lacked new voices…." Mimzy then put her glass down. "That's the story most people know…" She continued creepily. "But underneath it all… He's a total sweetie! Put on some jazz, pour on a couple fingers of rye and he becomes a Skitty!" The three were left in absolute terror, knowing that Alastor was capable of doing all that insane stuff. "So… you're friends with an overlord killer?" Nathan asked hastily. "Yup! Stacked up more heads than the ultimate weapon could make!" Mimzy replied proudly. "But like I said, a total sugarcane! Besides, he hasn't done any of that in a while!" She then turned to the bar but found that the bartender was gone. "Oh what the f*(k!?" "I'll take care of it, c'mon Echo, Night Tide!" Nathan said as he walked away with his Noivern and Greninja, hoping to get that messed up origin story out of his head.

Soon Nathan managed to see Husk pulling Alastor away for a little chat. "Hey boss, can I have a word?" Alastor turned his head back like an owl before turning the rest of him. "What is it?" He asked irritatedly. As this was happening, Nathan and his Pokémon hid by a corner and listened in thanks to Echo's ears. "You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs something!" Husk responded. "That girl is trouble, and who knows what kind of demon she f*(ked with to come running to you this time!" "It's nothing I can't handle, don't worry husker!" Alastor said nonchalantly. "Who in their right mind would cross me?" Nathan listened closely as the conversation continued, apparently mimzy is a danger magnet and used Alastor as his get out of trouble free card. "You've been gone a while… and it's not like anyone knows why!" Husk retorted. "They don't need to know! And don't you worry your fuzzy little head about it!" Alastor said before petting the former overlord. "What are they talking about…?" Nathan whispered while his Pokémon shrugged. "You may own my soul, but I ain't your f*(ken pet!" Husk growled. "Oh but you are!" Alastor laughed before walking away leaving his soul fuming. "Big talk for someone who's also on a leash…."

Those words left Nathan and his Pokémon in absolute shock, on a leash? Does that mean…? Suddenly the lights began to flicker as static filled the area once Alastor stopped. "What did you say…?" Suddenly a green chain appeared from Husk's neck and wrapped around Alastor's cane, while Nathan covered his mouth in fear. And with one tug, Husk was pulled to the ground. "Nothing! I uh…" he panicked as Alastor closed in while pulling on the chain. "If you ever say that again… I will tear your soul apart…" Alastor threatened as he raced towards his minion nearly at his full demon form. "And broadcast your screams, FOR EVERY OTHER DISRESPECTFUL WRECH, who dares to question me…." "Understood…." Husk replied, terrified. "Good talk my good man! Always lovely to catch up!" Alastor said merely, before looking at the corner, seeing nothing there, he simply shrugged it off before merely continuing off with cheery music playing in the background and his minion traumatized.

Meanwhile, Nathan and his Pokémon raced back out of the hall before checking to make sure that Alastor didn't follow them. "Alastor's soul… is owned by somebody else?" He recapped. "Is that why he's really here then?!" "Noivern Noi! Noivern…." Echo replied, terrified. "You're right… we should probably keep this to ourselves, or else we'll be the next voices on his broadcast…."

Later on, Nathan joined up with Charlie, Vaggie, and Lucifer. "And we've almost been able to find all of Angel's drug stashes! Almost…." Vaggie replied. "Soo once that's out of the way, things will be much smoother sailing!" Charlie added. "Well that's surely something…." Lucifer said nonchalantly as he walked towards the railing. "So what do you think?" Charlie asked her father. "About what?" He asked nonchalantly. "About the hotel!" Charlie answered. "Oh yes! It does look much better now!" Lucifer answered before looking at the railing. "You know I'm thinking this railing might need some work, one good push, and you'd just go RIGHT over the end! Whabam!" "What? No! No! The plan dad!" Charlie corrected. "What do you think about using the hotel to help sinners?" "Yeah, it can work with a little elbow grease, I'm sure we can get them to heaven!" Nathan added before Charlie's father sighed. "Alright, I love that you want to see the best in people but these… sinners… are just the worst!" He retorted. "I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them, and heaven… hoo hoo! Heaven is not as carefree as you might think it is!" "Why? Are they super strict or something?" Nathan asked. "Yeah! They have rules! Lots of rules! And they aren't as very open minded as you might think!" "These are our people, dad! I have to try!" Charlie pleaded. "Charlie… our people are awful!" Lucifer argued. "They got gifted free will and look what they did with it, everything's terrible!" "Sure they're imperfect but they're still souls!" "Oh really? Then what kind of souls are they that literally bring everything up in flames!" Lucifer argued.

"I just don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like…" Suddenly the hotel shook violently before they looked down and saw the source of it. "Like that!" Down below were a group of mob sharks and Team Void grunts that surrounded the hotel, trying to ram the door. "MIMZY! WE KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE YOU LOUSY B#(H!" One of the mob sharks yelled. The four raced back to the ground floor via a portal. "What's going on!?" Charlie demanded to a terrified Mimzy. "I may be in debt with Team Void and some lone sharks…." "LONE SHARKS!? HOW MUCH DID YOU OWE THEM?!" Nathan yelled. "I may or may not have borrowed 50 grand from them!" Mimzy answered hastily before rushing to the bar and hiding in fear. "50 GRAND!?" Nathan yelled. "You could make a raunchy music video with that much money!" Everyone turned to Charlie. "Someone did that and sent it to me… and went bankrupt afterwards…." "Well no wonder they're angry if you took that much money!" "Actually it's more than that…." Mimzy corrected. "I also stole a car… and crashed it… into a Team Void grunt's girlfriend BUT THAT B#(H HAD IT COMING!" Soon multiple fireballs burst through the hotel windows. "MY WINDOWS!" Nifty yelled. "WERE UNDER SIEGE!" Sir Pentious yelled as he deployed his Pokémon. "Everyone, battle ssstations!" Everyone immediately ducked in cover from the oncoming attacks whilst Lucifer stood there with a smug look on his face. "See Charlie? This is exactly what I'm talking about!" He said proudly. "You make something nice, you invite people and offer them everything and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep!" Charlie's left eye soon started to twitch in anger. "It doesn't matter how well intentioned you are!" Lucifer continued. "They're always gonna disappoint you!"

Nathan immediately hid behind the bar, and saw the source of this problem before him. "Well thanks to you, the hotel is getting destroyed! Are you happy now!?" He yelled. "Maybe you could talk to them?" Mimzy suggested. "Talk to a bunch of psychopaths who want us dead!? What's that gonna do!?" Nathan argued. "Do you have any better ideas!?" Nathan sighed as he was left with no other option. "I can't believe I'm gonna do this…."

Outside, the crowd of villains continued to destroy the hotel to find their target. "Ok ok!" Nathan yelled as he opened the door and raised his hand to surrender. "Let's not trash the place further, ok?" The weapons stopped firing and silence followed. Nathan then stepped out and raised his arms to surrender. "Now how about we write you a check for the loan and for the damages to your car, ok?" He suggested. "That sound good to you?" "There he is! Grab 'em!" Soon a pair of Team Void grunts grabbed Nathan by the arms. "Wait what's going on!?" He demanded. "Did I forget to mention that if I brought you in they'd forgive my debts?" Mimzy hollered. "YES, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD TO KNOW!" Nathan yelled before being dragged away and thrown onto the ground.

Nathan was pulled aside by the sharks and to Team Void. "Well, looks like the little bimbo was right after all!" One of the grunts laughed. "You're coming with us, you little bastard!" They then grabbed Nathan and dragged him away before a familiar voice was heard.

"Spiritomb! Dark pulse them, if you please!"

Soon out from a dusk ball came a small stone with a pinkish purple spiral with green gemstones around it and in the center was a menacing pumpkin esc face with a black swirly eye. "Spiritomb!" It said before unleashing a dark pulse attack on the crowd. "What the…?" Nathan said as he pulled out his Pokédex.

Spiritomb, the forbidden Pokémon

A dark and ghost type

Spiritomb's body is contained within a large keystone; it is said that this prison was the punishment for this spirit's destructive mischief.

"Where did a Spiritomb come from anyway…?" Soon Nathan's answer came in the form of a familiar voice. "A reminder to all!" Alastor announced as a green aura surrounded the hotel. "Not to mess with RADIO DEMON!" Soon multiple black tendrils emerged from the hotel and impaled the loan sharks, tearing them apart piece by piece. "Thanks for the hand Alastor!" Nathan hollered as the overlord stepped out from the hotel with elongated horns and four tendrils emerging from his back. "No need to thank me old chap! You take care of the Team Void incells! I'll handle the loan sharks!" Alastor replied before turning to the sharks and enlarging his size. "I will devour each and every ONE OF YOU!"

Nathan then turned to the Team Void grunts. "Bring it you little f*(ker!" One the grunts yelled. Nathan smirked. "Luckily I've got some additional firepower!" He said before giving a whistle which caused Xerneas, echo and Night Tide to come at his aid. "Show us what you've got!"

The Team void grunts began by sending their Pokémon, a Gasly, a Pawniard and a purple gremlin Pokémon with gemstones for eyes. "Sableye!" Nathan however stood firm as his Pokémon joined him. "Gasly! Venoshock!" "Pawniard, Rock smash!" "Sableye! Power gem!" Each of the Pokémon then used their attacks against the opponents, damaging them greatly. "Night Tide, Night slash! Xerneas, Moonblast! Echo, Flamethrower!" The three Pokémon struck down their opponents swiftly. "You little f*(ker! Sableye! Poison jab!" The Sableye then struck Xerneas with venom enhanced strikes, greatly wounding her in the process. "Not on my watch!" The legendary retaliated against the Sableye with a powerful strike with her antlers that managed to drain some of its life energy. "Wait, what was that?" Nathan asked, "Horn leech, my friend!" Xeneras answered promptly. "Think of it as a physical version of Giga drain!"

With the grunts defeated, the four winners stood intimidatingly at them. "How is this kid even a human?!" One of the grunts complained. "How's it going Alastor!?" Nathan called out to his friend as he finished off the remaining sharks. "I take that as a yes!" Nathan then turned back around as his enemies backed away.

As this was going on, Charlie was in shock while her father was smugly about the situation and mimzy was in awe by the radio demon's carnage. "Ya see…? What I'd tell ya?" Lucifer said, smirking. "Charlie, sinners are violent psychopaths! Hellbent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can! There's really no way…" "Dad, stop! They're defending this hotel!" Charlie argued. "Sure Alastor's doing it a bit more sadistically than I hoped but they're doing it for me! How can they have faith in me but my own father can't!" Those words immediately caused Lucifer to lose his smug smile. "Oh! Drama…." Angel commented as he pulled out some popcorn and husk took a bite.

Once the loan sharks were gone Alastor returned to his normal form. "Oh! I missed letting off steam!" He said proudly. "Any help there Nathan?" "I'm fine thanks!" The champion said as his legendary friend defeated another grunt, but soon more surrounded them. "On second thought…." Suddenly a blast of venom was flung everywhere causing the grunts to flee, Nathan looked up and saw a golbat flying above them. "Thanks sir P!" Nathan thanked as the golbat flew towards his trainer. "No problem my friend!" Sir Pentious replied proudly as his other Pokémon arrived. "Now, to battle my Pokémon!" "You little s#!ts aren't enough to defeat Team Void!" One of the grunts argued. "Really? Cuz I have a legendary, a serpent who already has other powerful electric types, and the guy who treated your shark friends like an all you can eat buffet!" Nathan listed as his friends joined in beside him. "Reconsidering your odds yet?" The grunts backed away in fear from their enemies, knowing already how powerful they were.

"Wow… how disappointing. This is why s#!t heads like you will always be grunts…." The Team Void grunts immediately stiffened and pulled off their Signature pose as the three looked forward as the Void grunts stepped aside as a new figure arrived, this one had long silver hair that was tied into a ponytail, while her face was covered by a pair of red tinted sunglasses and a purple bandanna, the rest of her outfit was similar to a Team Void grunt's with a long knee length skirt and black high heeled boots. She also wore a black shirt and white tie underneath a violet jacket with the Team Void logo etched on the side. "So this is the one that's been giving us a headache now huh?" The figure commented as she strolled up with two other Void grunts.

"And who might this be…?" Alastor asked. "She doesssn't look like a Team Void grunt!" Sir Pentious added. "Oh boy… I've seen this before." Nathan said. "It's a common thing among trainers when facing villain teams from regions all over, unova, sinnoh, and hoenn. It's called the 'climbing the ladder' system. First there's fighting the grunts, then after a certain amount, you get the attention of higher ranked members called admins." He explained before turning to the admin. "Which, is what I'm guessing who you are, am I right?" "You got that right, punk." The admin said before pulling off the V pose. "Name's Agatha! Admin of Team Void!" "Well, Agatha, what do you and your friends here want?" Sir Pentious questioned. "We WERE here for Mimzy after that little b!(h wrecked our car and into one of our grunts, but she offered us a chance at whooping your ass." Agatha explained. "But I guess that didn't work too well now didn't it?" "So, you're here to fight too?" Nathan questioned as he pulled out a ball. "Not really, I don't really fight battles I know I can't win." Agatha replied calmly. "But I am here to give you a warning…." She then grabbed Nathan by the shirt. "If you keep messing with our plans… I won't be so merciful on your soul…." Agatha threatened before letting go and leaving with the grunts following her behind.

Soon mimzy then crawled out now that the danger was over. "Oh Alastor what a fantastic show! Bravo! As always!" She thanked, as she joined the others. "Thanks for helping little old me out of a tough spot! You're always such a pal!" She was met with a glare by the others before a piece of debris fell beside her. "Oops! Sorry about the mess!" She apologized. "But I'm sure the little bug can take care of that for ya!" "I think you should leave Mimzy… now." Alastor said irritatedly. "Oh Alastor, you're such a kidder, you! You are so funny!" Mimzy laughed. "I mean it. You deliberately brought trouble to this place just to have me clean up your mess!" Alastor retaliated. "Not to mention, you used my human friend here as a sacrifice just to save your own hide, I can't have that here!" "But you love taking care of me! You're not telling me you actually give a s#!t about this place, do ya?" Mimzy laughed, pointing at her friend. "You heartless son of a b#!h!" "You're welcome if you want to give redemption a shot!" Alastor said as he pulled away Mimzy's finger. "But we both know that's not going to happen. So leave… now." "F-Well fine! Who needs ya!" Mimzy yelled outraged. "Have fun with your little princess and your little hotel, see if I care!" But before the flapper could leave, she was immediately encased in a block of ice. "Now what?!" She yelled before looking up and seeing Nathan with a look of hatred on his face. "Oh, Nathan! Now I know what I did wasn't right but…" "You mean like how you used me as a bargaining chip to save yourself?" Nathan finished, irritated. "You don't get to just walk away after that!" He then leaned close with a grin. "You deserve to go out in style…." Those words immediately made Mimzy gulp.

After a few minutes the trainer then turned back to his little stunt, a makeshift slingshot using Xerneas' antlers, Night Tides scarf and Mimzy as the ammo, which was being pulled by Echo. "Alright bottom of the ninth! Let's get to it!" He said, imitating a baseball coach, while mimzy pleaded for mercy while echo pulled back as far as she could. "No please nonono!" "1 2 3! And she is…" Echo then let go as mimzy was flung away screaming from the hotel and into the sky. "OUT OF HERE!"

After a few minutes of falling, Mimzy crashed down into a warehouse where she accidentally destroyed a poker table and was surrounded by mob sharks, who immediately growled at her.

Back at the hotel, Nathan sighed in relief, knowing that little punk was out of their hair. "So what did I miss?" He asked. "It's getting good!" Angel replied as he, husk and Pentious were snacking like they were in a movie theater.

Lucifer, ashamed, went back inside. "Dad… just help me!" Charlie pleaded, following her father. "I… I can't…." He said somberly. "Why can't you?" Charlie questioned. "CHARLIE…you don't understand!" Lucifer gasped. "Heaven never listens! They didn't listen to me! They won't listen to you!" "You don't know that!" "I DO…." Lucifer yelled before turning back. "You didn't know that when… I tried this all before… My dreams were too hard to defend…." He tossed a yellow light on the floor near his daughter before placing her hands in his. "And in the end… I won't lose it all again… now you're the only thing worth fighting for! More than anything…. More than anything…. I'll shelter and adore you More than anything…. " "Dad, I don't need you to protect me!" Charlie argued. "I just don't want you to be crushed by them like… like I was…." Lucifer replied somberly, looking away in shame.

"Dad… when I was young, I didn't really know you at all…." Charlie began. "I always felt so small… but I heard your stories and I was enthralled. The tales about your lofty dreams… I listened breathlessly! Imagining it could be me! So in the end… it's the view I had of you, that showed me dreams can be worth fighting for! More than anything…. More than anything…." Charlie then turned to her friends before turning back to her father. "I need to save my people More than anything…!"

Lucifer smiled, seeing his daughter for what she truly is for the first time. "I've been dying to find out who you are…!" "I've been waiting! Wanting the same thing!" "Looks like the apple doesn't fall far…." "Took you a while!" "I've missed that smile…." The two then gracefully held hands and twirled around beautifully. "All that I'm hoping, now that my eyes are open, is that we can start again, not be pulled apart again!" Soon Lucifer opened a portal to a mystical void and revealed his wings. Before they flew inside. "Because in the end… you are part of who I am!" "I'll support your dream whatever lies in store!" "And who could ask for more?" "More than anything…. More than anything…. I'm grateful you're my daughter/father More than anything…. More than anything…."

The portal then closed as the two hugged deeply close together. "Awe… that was sweet!" Sir Pentious said, weeping in his eyes. "Yeah… that's a fixed up family right there…." Nathan added as he handed a tissue to the snake demon. "Ok, I can get you, the meeting." Lucifer informed as the pair let go. "But once you're in heaven… I won't be able to go with you…. Will you be ok?" "I'll be fine!" Charlie replied, making her father smile. "That's my girl…." "Before you leave, Mr Morningstar!" Nathan then handed a pokeball to Lucifer's hand. "Here's a little gift from us to you." The demon king smiled. "You're definitely a hero kid. Keep my daughter safe, okay?" Nathan smiled. "She's in safe health…." Nathan promised. "And Xerneas…." The legendary then turned to the demon king. "I'll make sure Yveltal gets back safe, anyway I can…." The legendary then smiled. "Thank you… father…." Lucifer then turned to his daughter one last time. "Good luck kiddo…." And with that he disappeared into a gust of magic….

"This next part is gonna be scary…." Vaggie said before Charlie gave her a hug. "I'm ready." She said determined. "Because you and Nathan will be with me!" "In spirit right?" Vaggie asked. "In heaven!" "Yaaya…."

Later that night, Nathan had a couple of drinks with Alastor. "Apologies for Mimzy, she can be quite the danger magnet sometimes!" Alastor apologized. "Tell me about it…." Nathan said before taking a sip of his soda. "So what was up with you and Lucifer anyway? I haven't seen you that jealous before! Or ever come to think of it!" "Well I don't expect you to understand…." Alastor replied, not giving the trainer an answer, but Nathan's eyes widened and a smile formed on his face. "Ooh… You're actually starting to think of us as your family aren't you…?" He said smugly, making Alastor's eye twitch. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" Alastor said, filled with denial. "C'mon… admit it!" "No I will not!" "C'mon Alastor, if you're Charlie's dad, then that makes Husk her uncle, nifty her cousin, and me her brother!" "Nathan if you continue with this nonsense I will personally skin you alive and use your skeleton to make silverware!" He threatened, embarrassed. "Fine, but you can't hide from the truth…." Nathan said, calmly. "Changing the subject… Did anything happen while you were with mimzy? And what Pokémon did you give Lucifer to?" Nathan then took a sip as he knew what not to mention what happened between Al and Husk. "Uh… nothing really!" He lied. "She just told us about you and your reputation and that was it! As for Lucifer… Charlie told me that he is obsessed with ducks, so I offered to give him one, and a really special one too! Imported straight from the Paldea region!"

Meanwhile back at Lucifer's castle, the demon king was on the phone with a friend of his in heaven. "Yeah… I know it's a big ask but she really needs to see them!" He pleaded. "Ok, yeah, thanks Palkia… yeah nice to hear from you too!" He then hung up before looking at the pokeball Nathan gave him, inspecting it closely before pressing the button, causing the Pokémon inside to emerge, it was a white duck Pokémon with ocean blue hair that was shaped into a moleat. "Quaxly!" Lucifer immediately gasped in awe at the sheer sight of it and gave it a big hug. "Best. Present. EVER!"
