Episode 6: Unlucky Midnight Encounter
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, I do own Hotaru, Darnel, and Ashley.
It was the next morning. Hotaru's father had still not pieced together that he had saw his daughter in that building as a snake girl, not yet. Hotaru was grateful of this. She was finishing up eating breakfast when she saw her mother come into the kitchen. Hotaru could see that her mother was troubled but it didn't appear to Hotaru this was about her at least not until her mother put a ruler underneath Hotaru's throat "Mom?" Hotaru asked.
Hotaru's mother looks at her daughter "Don't ever let me catch you escaping from the house at night young lady."
"I've never done that!" Hotaru told her.
"Then perhaps you won't ever" Hotaru's mom said "I won't ever let you become rebellious to me."
Hotaru was even more confused "What are you talking about mom?"
Hotaru's mother sighed "Right, you don't watch the television at night, but I managed to get a good look at the late evening news last night and two high school teenage girls had gone missing."
"Missing?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes, missing, as in they had sneaked out of their homes at nine PM when they aren't allowed to most likely they were going out on a double date and they never returned." Hotaru's mother told her, she dug her hands into her hips "Honestly the nerve of some teenage girls. Knowing they aren't allowed to do that and they still do that...Hotaru if I catch you doing that I will grill your butt so hard you won't do that again, do you understand me?"
"Yes, ma'am! I wouldn't ever do that!" Hotaru replied never seeing her mother this way but at the same time Hotaru knew her mother was trying to be protective of her. After all being a parent meant you had to protect your kids. If those two girls sneaked out for their own beliefs that their parents weren't being fair, then they didn't know that their parents were being protective of them, as danger often lurked at night.
Hotaru's mother sighed heavily "Sorry, Hotaru, but it just pisses me off that some teenagers do this and you are at that age when teenagers do stupid things like that. Just don't let me catch you had vanished too."
"You won't mom" Hotaru said "What would make me do that anyway? I never had those ideas anyway."
Hotaru's mother nodded "Good. Now do be careful, that organization is still on the loose. I don't want you to be kidnapped by them. I suspect those two girls had been abducted by them anyway...And after what happened to your father and I, we don't want that happening to you."
Hotaru finished her breakfast and heads out "I can understand that, I'm going to school now and I will be attending after school activities with gymnastics. After that, I'm heading over to Ashley's for an hour or two."
"Alright honey, have fun!" Hotaru's mother said.
Hotaru left her home slightly shivering at her mother's aggressiveness this morning but she heads off. It was true, Hotaru never got the idea of ever sneaking out of her home at least not in the past. If two girls did disappear however and Cipher was the one that did the deed, then Hotaru would have to look into it. A way around it Hotaru realized was saying to her parents she was spending the night with Ashley, at least her mother and father would know where their daughter was at, but that would only be good on Fridays and the weekends. As Hotaru was walking to her school bus stop she saw police activity in the area where the two girls had disappeared. Hotaru shook her head at this aftermath. She had a feeling that whatever struck there last night would strike again.
Intro- Latias's voice- Three years ago, my brother Latios and I made our escape from Cipher taking the Rototrix with us. For three years we had avoided being captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon as well as keeping the Rototrix safe from Cipher whom were making plans to use it for their own evil needs. Three years later, Cipher has remerged selling Shadow Pokemon to Earth in a bid to take over the universe. Luckily my brother and I managed to save a girl in need and gave her the Rototrix a device that transforms the wielder into a Pokegirl or Pokeboy of 14 different types of Pokemon. Now she has the difficult task in not defeating Cipher but purifying all of the Shadow Pokemon. Hotaru certainly has a difficult task to do but she's the only chance two worlds have and I have a feeling, Hotarumon 14 is going to stop Cipher's plans once and for all.

Back to show
Hotaru gets onto the bus and finds her seat next to Ashley huffing. Ashley looks at her friend as does Darnel. Hotaru looks at her friends. It was clear to them that Hotaru had a not so easy morning.
"What happened Hotaru?" Ashley inquired.
"Oh, my mom happened that's what" Hotaru answered "She thinks I'll sneak out one night and gave me a strict warning not to."
"I see she saw that news story" Ashley muttered.
"She did" Hotaru sighed "I mean I've never planned to ever sneak out but I might have to tonight or at least early during the night."
"Two disappearances at the same time can't be a coincidence" Darnel admitted.
Hotaru agreed "Indeed, just what I was thinking, but at the moment we have a lot on our plate like finding out whom killed Ashley's parents."
"That we do" Ashley admitted.
Hotaru sat back in her seat thinking of what was in store for the rest of the day. Mentally her list of things to do on this very day was growing larger. Any other girl or boy might want to start making sure to cut back, but Hotaru herself saw that action was needed. Hotaru was sure to make sure the find some answers for Ashley, and even figure out where the two girls had disappeared. She secretly hoped they were just abducted but something deep inside her had a feeling it was something much more sinister and had a feeling Cipher wasn't involved in it.
Erdos was furious that Hotaru once more had defeated him. She had defeated three Shadow Pokemon and purified them. He paced angrily that Hotaru had defeated him a third time after a clever plot and all he got was a destroyed building with Hotaru escaping alive! He turned to see Loveria and Miror B entering the room. He saw how scared Loveria seemed to be and she was only in her bra and panties. This alarmed him "Loveria? What's wrong?"
"Nothing but bad news!" Loveria said.
"Someone burst into our home looking for something." Miror B said.
"Could've been Ardos" Erdos told them.
"Nope! I wouldn't have been scared if it was him" Loveria said "AS I WAS ALMOST EATEN BY THE BEING!"
"That isn't Ardos" Erdos replied "He wouldn't do that to us...But eating a girl isn't something Cipher would do ether."
"Exactly our point" Miror B said "Had I not rescued Loveria with a Ludicolo she might've been lost."
Loveria shivered nodding "I want to thank you for that Miror B."
"And yet you still show up in your underwear?"
Loveria covered herself blushing red "I had no time to get the rest of my outfit on as once Miror B saved me, I bolted!"
"When did this happen?" Erdos asked checking the security footage.
"Exactly ten minutes till midnight" Loveria answered.
Erdos looked harder as warning sirens began sounding.
"What gives?" Erdos demanded
An explosion erupted and what appeared to be a woman appeared. Loveria hid behind Erdos and Miror B "it's SO her!"
Erdos kept his hands on a Pokeball as does Miror B whom was prepared to defend their coworker. Erdos saw the woman seemed to be human yet he sensed a dark evil demonic presence. She seemed like a normal human girl with black hair but yet her eyes nearly looked demonic. There could be only one explanation this girl was a succubus and when he looked at her lower body she had snake coils. He guessed this girl was a mixture of a Succubus crossed with a naga or snake girl almost like the mythical creature the Medusa. He turned to to Miror B "Whatever you do don't look at her hair, she seems to be something crossed with a succubus and a Medusa."
The strange girl stopped seeing Loveria's shaking butt from behind the two boys and Loveria was muttering "Please don't let her eat me, please don't let her eat me!"
The girl flicked out her forked tongue like a snake would and spoke with a hissing sound "Thy are looking at Venomica, SSSuccubus Naga Queen! Who daresss to sssummon me?!"
Erdos looked at Miror B as he had no knowledge of deadly demons that could be summoned at least on Earth. This meant that Queen Venomica had been summoned by someone within Cipher. No Cipher Pion was that smart and even if they were, they would have notified him of the attempt so that Loveria couldn't be targeted. After some awkward silence Trudley approached "Uh, sorry Erdos sir, Folly and I saw a demon summoning book and we accidentally might have summoned her thinking the book was a joke."
"WELL IT CLEARLY WAS NOT?!" Loveria snapped wanting to strangle the two idiots Miror B had "AT LEAST NEXT TIME IF THERE IS ANOTHER NEXT TIME, WARN AT LEAST ME! QUEEN VENOMICA ALMOST ATE ME!"
Erdos looked at Queen Venomica "Succubus Naga Queen hugh?"
"That'sss correct human" Queen Venomica said "Thy two idiotsss have sssummoned me without a care in the world what they brought into this world...Which I thank thy...I apologize for nearly eating thy tasty looking employee, now I will purge this world and ressshape it into my image if thy has no need of me."
Erdos now had a plan in his mind "Queen Venomica, Trudley and Folly will be punished severely for summoning you without my or their own Boss's Miror B's knowledge, however your services couldn't have came at a better time. I assume the two teenage girls that disappeared were your doing?"
"Thy two rebelliousss teenagersss?!" Venomica asked evilly she hisses rubbing a fattened stomach "Yeeessss, thatssss wassss my doing...Rebelliousss teenage girlssss are the best kind of prey!"
Erdos spoke "Loveria is my employee as you know a member of Cipher. We are here to conquer the world in the name of my father Greevil for what Wes did to us nearly six years ago."
"Thy are my competition then?"
"Oh my Succubus, naga queen" Erdos said "I wouldn't want any bad blood between the two of our forces. I say we put aside our differences for now and take this world…If you help us Queen Venomica...Cipher will control the entire Earth-"
"What'sss in it for me human?! Nobody demandsss help from a demon unlessss they offer sssomething in return…Demon rule 101 after all."
Erdos knew he nearly had her as an ally just a bit more, and he answered "Cipher will give you and your demon tribe tasty human girl prey that refuse to obey Cipher's rule. Loveria is off limits though. We need her."
Venomica takes her time to decide this, the last time she had been summoned by an evil organization that organization never completely fulfilled their end of the bargain and she had been imprisoned by a priest of all things because the evil organization fell "Thy make a bargin I have heard time and time again human, but none deliver the promise."
"I assure you Queen Venomica" Erdos replied to her then he bowed before her "You will get your tributes...And Cipher will worship you like a goddess."
This did it for Venomica whom grinned evilly "Humans, worssshipping a Succbusss like a goddesss hey?" She reaches for Erdos's hand "Thy have a deal!"
Erdos agreed to shake her hand but immediately felt her dig some sharp nail into his hand causing to to bleed while shaking it. He yelps a bit in pain.
"Erdos sir!" Loveria shouted "What happened?"
"She impaled my hand with something!" Erdos said waving his hand which was bleeding.
"Blood pact" Venomica said absorbing some of Erdos's blood in her own hand "Demon rule 102. When making a deal...Demon leader preformsss...Blood pact ssshake...That meansss if you break your deal...I can easily find ya and kill ya!"
Erdos now understood how dangerous Queen Venomica was as she wasn't just any succubus or demon. She knew the rules of demons. She was truly someone to respect and needed to have their promise fulfilled. He would have to make sure Cipher when the Earth was conquered to give her female prey tributes and to be worshipped like a goddess. He looks at her "Queen Venomica...If we are to work together, there is one girl that stands in Cipher's way."
"Jussst...One girl?" Queen Venomica inquired "Isss thy organization unable to beat one girl? Don't make me regret agreeing to thisss..."
Erdos explained himself "Normally a single girl wouldn't be a threat to us, although we were beaten by Wes and Rui six years ago but that was when we had no knowledge of you or were prepared to go military on that world as we are doing with Earth. However this girl has possession of the Rototrix"
He nods to Loveria urging her to stand and she whimpers obeying him and shows Queen Venomica the Rototrix. Erdos continued "It has the power to turn her into any of the fourteen Pokemon it has in it and she has used it to defeat us three times. Father sent me to eliminate her and currently I'm still thinking of a new plan to use on her, so...Could I ask of your assistance to eliminate her?" he smiles at the Succubus Naga queen "I'm sure whatever she chooses to turn herself into will be tasty."
"Thy have my asssissstanccceee!" Queen Venomica said eagerly for heroine flesh "Thy can ccconsider her dead at midnight!"
The Succubus Naga queen snapped her fingers and appeared to have vanished.
"She's gone" Loveria sighed with relief.
"For now" Miror B told her "We're allies with her now. She'll be back."
"Why did you ally us with her?" Loveria asked Erdos.
"Better to have her as an ally then as an enemy" Erdos told her "From that brief meeting just now with her, it's truly better to not to fight her. Besides she seems to want the Earth as well but what good is just taking Earth and ruling it for a Demon if she or he can't get anything out of it? Better to be worshipped like a god or goddess and given tributes like it."
"Swell!" Loveria sighed understandably not liking this due to being a girl which Queen Venomica loved to eat "I'll have to look over my back."
"As long as I fulfill my end of the deal she won't be coming to eat you Loveria. She'll go after other girls instead as there are plenty of them."
"She's part snake though" Miror B told Loveria "So if she is, she'll only have to eat maybe once a month or so! Lucky you hugh?"
"I won't be lucky if we fail to deliver our end of the deal!" Loveria snapped "She'll hunt me down first, and I know it!"
Erdos had a plan and he eyed Loveria "Get dressed for school."
"Yes...Sir" Loveria said then she blinked "School? Uh sir, I have no school!"
"You do now" Erdos told her "I'll inform Ardos about this unfortunate incident that Truedly and Folly have done, which might have been the answer to our problem with Hotaru. You, Loveria will be the key factor in guiding Hotaru into a trap to meet our Succbus naga queen ally. Since she hunts and eats female human girls, Hotaru won't see that coming. Plus Ardos already is pulling that part off."
Loveria got the plan and it mostly involved her to guide Hotaru into a trap even though Hotaru already knew her as an enemy. Still in school though, there was very little Hotaru could do to her or risk ether suspension or expulsion for fighting with Loveria. Loveria nods "Okay, I'll get ready for school."
She walks off with Erdos and Miror B watching her. Erdos turned to the shadows as he heard Queen Venomica chuckling at the plan "Good plan, my dear Erdosss….A good predator waits for hisss or her prey to approach and trap him or her...I shall wait to sssprring my ambussshhh."
Ashley, Darnel, and Hotaru got to school and were in their classroom. Along the way to class, Hotaru saw Loveria walking in the school. Ashley and Darnel saw her too and the three duck behind a wall. Loveria's eyes noticed them but she pretended to have not noticed holding back an evil grin as she thought Maybe this will succeed! If all goes well later on tonight...Hotaru will be dead, and in the stomach of a succubus naga queen!
Hotaru spoke to her friends "What do you suppose Loveria is doing in this school?"
"Is that what that pink haired girl's name is?" Darnel asked "What a hottie."
Ashley rolled her eyes "Always a sucker for pink haired girls are you Darnel?"
Darnel blushes "What can I say? Her pink hair caught my attention."
Hotaru looked at Darnel "Fall for her at your own risk...She's one of Cipher's admins. She was one of the two Cipher admins rounding up the entire city yesterday."
Hotaru rubbed her head "And the one whose Ditto gave me a small problem...Even a minor headache when I went Lucario."
"Not sure" Ashley said hesitating "But it can't be good for us if she's in."
"She wouldn't be able to harm us" Darnel said "Not in school and Hotaru you won't be able to transform without being noticed."
"I'll have to be careful" Hotaru admitted as they followed Loveria to their homeroom and saw Loveria checking her schedule as if she was new. She saw Hotaru approaching with Hotaru approaching with a little uneasiness. Ashley and Darnel followed with Ashley seemingly more on Hotaru's side and Darnel approaching with a little less cation. In fact it was Darnel that greeted her "Hey miss...Are you new?"
"Yes" Loveria replied "I just enrolled here."
Warning flags were immediately going off in Hotaru's brain. It was literally telling her that something was wrong with this picture. Why would a Cipher admin start enrolling here...Was Cipher planning to take over the school? This would need investigating...Add that to another thing to do on her ever growing to do list as a heroine.
"What are you looking for?" Ashley asked.
"Classroom A101."
"That's ours" Ashley whispered to Hotaru.
Hotaru was now even more alarmed at this but as she looked around the school seeing more students arrive she really couldn't do anything to interrogate Loveria. At least Ashley was on board with Hotaru, Darnel was being a bit slow to realize the situation but even he was building up some suspense. Still he was confident that whatever Loveria had in mind it could be thwarted. The trio showed Loveria where the room was and they enter. After roll call, Ardos spoke "Well class, we have a new student today!" he turned to Loveria "Tell them about yourself miss."
"Yes, sir Mr. Ardos sir!" Loveria replied she waved to the class "Hey, my name is Loveria! And I just so enrolled here! So I look forward in being your classmate!"
Thus the day began. Four hours later and it was lunch. Hotaru seemed to have the worst kind of luck with Loveria. Like every class she had so far, Loveria was also in it. It was as if Cipher truly had taken over the school and was onto Hotaru to try to expose her secret. Hotaru was smart enough not to fall for the bait though. At lunch, Loveria approached Ashley, Darnel and Hotaru.
"Here she comes" Ashley told Hotaru.
Hotaru sighed "That she is...She's been in all my classes so far."
"Strange..." Darnel admitted.
"Must be that you both are very new to the school and they figured to put you two in the same classes" Ashley muttered.
"Little do they know that she's with Cipher" Hotaru agreed silently.
Loveria approached the trio and sat with them "Boy, I can't remember when school was this busy! How about you Hotaru do you agree?"
Hotaru answered politely as she could under this stressful situation "Well considering I came from Japan, this school isn't that busy compared to that but yeah it's busy."
"Where did you say you were from?" Darnel asked.
"The Ore region" Loveria replied "I moved from it recently because there wasn't any schools there and my family wanted me to get some education."
Yeah right Hotaru thought you can't fool me...You're here ether spying on me or trying to become my friend to lower my guard down.
Loveria looked at Hotaru thinking This better be worth it Erdos! Hotaru isn't easily fooled as we thought she then thought back to Ardos's situation Or maybe it's because she already knows I am with Cipher and thinks that Ardos is truly a new teacher here.
Ashley wasn't buying it ether, even she smelled something wrong with this picture. Still once more there was very little she or Hotaru could do not without spilling Hotaru's secret.
Loveria shrugged "You know Hotaru, we're acquaintances and we new students have to stick together."
Yeah right! Hotaru thought Like I need Cipher spying on me!
Loveria then spoke "After all, with what had happened last night. All girls would need to listen to their parents better."
"You heard of that news too?" Hotaru asked shocked that Loveria knew and she found it odd that Loveria was actually shivering making her think Why would Loveria be shivering...Could it mean Cipher wasn't totally responsible for what happened last night...Or could it be as I felt earlier something more sinister than Cipher.
Ashley, Hotaru and Darnel were having lunch with Loveria till the bell rang to get ready for classes. Four more hours would pass well five hours actually after school activities and it was the last day of gymnastic tryouts. Loveria stayed behind to watch Hotaru mostly from the shadows. It was hard for Loveria to do so but not for Ardos. At the moment both Cipher members were watching her. Loveria huffs "That Hotaru is so hard to be friends with...I'm not sure how you do it Ardos!"
Ardos chuckles dryly "It's because she saw you yesterday and know you are an enemy. As for me, why do you think I don't hang around you guys?"
Loveria was about to answer when Ardos does "It's because as long as I am not spotted around you or anyone of Cipher, I can spy on Hotaru from the shadows. She's going to make the Gymnastics team...She's very good. I wouldn't be surprised if they made her the captain of the squad."
Loveria nods "I must admit that she is good. I better get going though so I can spring the actual trap with-" she shivers with freight "Venomica."
Ardos pats Loveria's back "It was a very dumb move for Trudely and Folly to do. What Erdos did was all he could do in that situation and he's right. Both Queen Venomica and Cipher want to conquer the world, better to have her as an ally then as an enemy...Honestly what could we Cipher do to a demon? Considering demons are nearly immortal and can't be killed easily, nothing much so again better to have her as an ally then enemy, but go ahead."
Loveria walked off appearing to vanish with Ardos watching from the shadows.
Ardos was proven right. Hotaru had made the team and was named the actual Team's captain. Hotaru was happy for it and when she was leaving with Ashley and Darnel that was fresh on her mind. The two had congratulated her and once at Ashley's house began to try to solve Ashley's parent's murder.
It was now nightfall and Hotaru was right asleep until she heard something outside. Hotaru opened her eyes and walked to her window and peered down it. She gasps seeing Ashley being dragged by Loveria. She opens the window jumped out landing in front of Loveria. Loveria smirked "I see you're awake."
"Loveria...Put down Ashley!"
Ashley squirmed "She broke in somehow Hotaru!"
Loveria held up a lock pick "Locked doors won't stop me."
Hotaru growls "Let her go!"
Loveria dragged Ashley with her as she ran "Try and stop me!"
Hotaru chased after her unaware she was being lured into a dark ally. Once in the dark ally Hotaru had cornered Loveria "There's no where to run Loveria! Put Ashley down and get ready for a beating!"
Loveria turned and Hotaru saw her shivering "After tonight...You won't be alive."
Hotaru was about to activate her Rototrix when hissing sounded around the area "Too right she won't be Loveria and thanks for bringing me two girlsss, quite a tribute!"
Hotaru froze hating that sound as it sounded snake like as does Ashley...Whom saw a dark figure emerge from the shadows "HOTARU! BEHIND YOU!"
Hotaru turned just in time to see a long tail whip out at her striking her in the chest sending her onto the ground. As Hotaru was getting up she then saw the creature. The long female succubus upper body with the lower body of a snake. The creature spoke "Pleassse to meet you Hotaru...I'm Queen Venomica! Queen of the Succubusss Naga...And you..." she flicks out her fork tongue smelling Hotaru's scent from afar like all snakes were able to do "are prey!"
Commercial break
Back to Show
"A Demon Naga?!" Ashley asked in both surprise and fear.
"Quiet!" Loveria told her then she whispered "Or I might not be able to take you back home alive."
Ashley blinks never seeing this side of her enemy it was as if Loveria was wanting to save at least Ashley's life is she could. Ashley then realized she was just the bait to get Hotaru to come into the area alone.
"Prey?" Hotaru inquired looking at Queen Venomica "Me?"
"That's right" Venomica said flicking her tongue out at Hotaru smelling her once more "And what a good meal you'll make...I've never ate a heroine before so thisss isss a ssspecial...Treat."
The demon bares huge basilisk sized snake fangs and she lunged at Hotaru "Do try to resssissst me and make it worth hunting you down to eat!"
Hotaru dodges the lunge and she could see lethal venom projecting from the fangs knowing that one good bite might end her life for good. She watches the Succubus Naga queen raise her tail and slap down at her. Hotaru backflips and aimed her hand "If you want to eat me then I'm gonna make you into dust!"
She lands on the ground and dodges another deadly venomous bite and tail swing and selected the Pokemon and prepares to slap it down. As she is doing so a third tail swing got her in the arm causing her to select a different Pokemon, she was going for Sylveon but instead...White light filled the air as she lost her clothes and hair. She gained Dark orange body fur with white belly fur, her hands and feet become dark brown, she gains Raichu's tail with the lightning bolt at the end of it's tail being a bit smaller due to her being a girl, she gains Raichu's yellow electric sacks on her cheeks, she gains Raichu's brown ears which are yellow in the inside, then on her back are two horizontal brown stripes. When the transformation ended Hotaru was "Raichu!"
She blinks looking at her transformation and shouts "OH SHOOT! HOW AM I A MOUSE?! I wanted Sylveon!"
She looks upward seeing Queen Venomica smirk "Moussse girl hugh? Well now...Lucky day! SSSnakes eat...Miccce!"
Hotaru looked up at Queen Venomica whom was bigger than she was, not that she shrank or anything. She could feel the Raichu part of her shaking with fear at having a predator looking at her. Queen Venomica smirks "Time to dine!"
She lunges at Hotaru. Hotaru fought the urge and managed to avoid the lunge and give her predator a punch to her face, a Mega Punch that is.
Queen Venomica hissed as she is plowed backwards hitting a wall. She turned to free Ashley and smirked electricity coming from her electric sacks on her cheeks "Ashley, get ready to duck!"
Ashley smirked as she is being held by Loveria. She raised her foot, and STOMPED on Loveria's own foot "YOUCH!" Loveria shouts letting go of Ashley.
Hotaru then unleashed her Thunder Bolt attack. Ashley ducks and rolls onto the ground sideways allowing Hotaru's electric attack to strike Loveria head on shocking her. Loveria screams in pain and Hotaru thought she saw her skeleton a few times before Loveria fell over fried with her fingers twitching in pain. She raises a hand "I'll get you back for this Hotaru, once I stop feeling fried!"
Then her arm falls to her side as she lays stunned as if a tazer struck her.
"Thank goodness" Ashley sighed.
Hotaru nods "That demon queen wasn't too hard! I just punched her in the face!"
Ashley smiled but then saw that there was a hole in the ground "Uh, Hotaru...Where did Queen Venomica go?"
"She's catching her breathe" Hotaru said "Why do you-"
The ground beneath the two girl's feet shook as if a minor earthquake had struck and Queen Venomica emerged striking both girls through the middle. Hotaru as her Raichu form let's out a squeak while Ashley screams a bit struck by the attack as well as both girls flew into the sky. Queen Venomica smacks Ashley knocking her aside sending her into an opened trash can. Queen Venomica on the other hand wrapped her coils around Hotaru sending her crashing into the ground with a well timed throw. Hotaru grunts as she hit her head on the ground. She tries to shock her opponent with a Thunder Bolt but a well placed coil struck her in the back stunning her. Long enough for the Demon Queen to bite her in the butt with her basilisk long snake fangs. Hotaru squeals in pain as her own blood pored from her butt and unleashes a Thunder Bolt which courses through her opponent's body but it wasn't enough. Hotaru then grunts feeling the venom enter her body. Her vision began to get blury as Queen Venomica wrapped her coils around Hotaru and began squeezing her like a boa constrictor and squeezed hard causing Hotaru to gasp.
"Hotarumon 14" Queen Venomica hissed at her "You got dissstracted...A fatal move...I don't need my venom to kill you, now that you are in my cccoilsss. We'll see what killsss you firssst ssshall we? Then when you draw your last breathe you'll be in my ssstomach!"
Hotaru grunts feeling the coils tighten around her. The venom was working on her and now she was literally having her breathe stolen from her. With each breathe Hotaru took, her attacker tightened the grip. Hotaru struggled trying to break free. Sparks flying from her cheeks, feet, arms and tail wagging trying to break free. She tries to shock her attacker and manages to land another Thunder Bolt, but once more Queen Venomica seemed to endure it "I like it when a meal fights back. Shock me all you want moussse girl. While trapped in my coils I won't let you go!"
Hotaru took another breathe somehow and her predator tightened her grip so much that Hotaru felt her rib cage shatter causing her to scream then the venom set into her nerves slowly paralyzing her preventing her from trying to escape. All she could now do was breathe and feel the pressure of the coils until she literally felt her eyes cloud over and she thought she had passed away. Thinking Hotaru was indeed dead Queen Venomica brought Hotaru's head over to her wide opened mouth. Ashley watches full of horror "HOTARU! NO!"
Hotaru managed to hear the shout and saw Queen Venomica's opened mouth which now engulfed her head. Time seemed to stop for Ashley watching this when in reality it was quick. She watches as her friend slips into the Demon Naga Queen's belly. Ashley was sobbing "Hotaru...No...Not you!"
After Hotaru's feet vanish into Queen Venomica's mouth she turned towards the blond girl "It's your turn now."
Ashley was paralyzed with guilt. Guilt that she blamed herself about how she foolishly let Loveria capture her and lure her out for Hotaru to try to rescue her. Queen Venomica prepared to lunge "Next prey!"
Inside the stomach, Hotaru's Rototrix managed to inject an anti venom into Hotaru's body removing the venom from her system the moment she was about to land in her predator's stomach. In it she could see what remained of two high school girls, almost nothing but skeletal remains. The acid felt nearly like lava to her but she now could move and her breathing even though it was damaged due to her rib cage shattering was starting to come back. She had to break free or she'd be digested like the other two girls. She didn't want Ashley to join her...Not one bit. She focused in her energies, electricity swarmed from her cheeks as she thought Come on Hotaru...Give it all you got...You're inside her, and not coiled. She then had an idea to escape the Demon Naga Queen's coils must have some sort of anti element type of resistance to prevent prey from escaping...Hotaru focuses even though terrified at the thought of being digested alive. She then unleashes a Thunder Bolt from inside Queen Venomica's stomach.
Outside Queen Venomica was almost within striking distance to bite Ashley first then coil her when she felt something happening inside her stomach "What the?!"
Then the Demon Queen felt her insides being shocked causing her to scream in total pain and for her body to show it was being shocked "What the?"
This maneuver worked stopping Queen Venomica from moving briefly then she felt another pain as Hotaru inside the stomach landed an Iron Tail to the stomach wall causing it to burst open and for Hotaru and the skeletal remains of the two high school girls from last night to poor out onto the ground and onto poor Ashley. This caused Queen Venomica to fall onto her back in major pain watching this unfold.
"Oh yuck!" Ashley shouted grossed out.
"I'm with you Ashley" Hotaru breathed out.
Ashley hugged her friend "I thought I had lost you!"
"You almost did" Hotaru admitted.
"H-H-H-How did you survive?!" Queen Venomica shouts enraged that Hotaru had somehow lived and escaped her, this was the first time a prey escaped and she would make sure to capture Hotaru again and this time eat her for good.
Hotaru stands up shoving Ashley aside "Leave her to me."
"But she nearly killed you that last time."
"I know but she'll eat us both if I don't beat her...Besides she can't do much now that her stomach is ripped open!"
"How naive you are girl" Queen Venomica stated regenerating her wound.
Hotaru blinks and points "Oh, that's soooooooo...Unfair all of my hard earned work from getting away...Now goes to waste."
Hotaru now stands although weakened badly due to her chest being crushed from the coiling.
Queen Venomoica stood upright smirking "I'll ask again...How did you survive?"
Hotaru answered "The Rototrix was able to reverse your venom, although the moment I was in your stomach. Even it wasn't able to remove your venom from me that easily...The venom was making quick work of me as did your crushing coils."
Hotaru pauses coughing up blood and thought Raichu is nearly dead! I can't take another bite well I could but once I do I'd get coiled and it will be the death of me. I've gotta be on my toes and avoid her attacks...And I know that she's vulnerable to my attacks as long as I'm not coiled.
Queen Venomica hisses "Then you jussst maybe worth it to eat in the end. I've never had a prey fight back like thisss!"
She saw Hotaru coughing up blood "Looksss like you are nearly at your end yourssself Hotarumon 14. One good move from me ssshould be enough to do it."
Hotaru focused "I maybe weakened but I will not quit until I'm unable to draw breathe!"
Queen Venomica smirks evilly "So be it."
She then spat venom...Right into Hotaru's eyes. Hotaru screams "AHHH! Cheep shot!"
Hotaru fought to overcome this blindness, she should have expected this. Certain species of cobra were able to spit their venom right into their own predator or threat's eyes. She heard the sound of Queen Venomica's body hitting the ground as she borrowed underground. Hotaru was blind still so she'd have to try to listen to where her opponent was coming from. She still used her arms to try to wipe the blinding venom from her eyes with no avail. However she felt the ground beneath begin to shake and this time she used her tail as if it were a springboard to hurl herself upright just in time for Queen Venomica to raise up beneath Hotaru's feet trying to use the same attack as she had done earlier to knock her down. Hotaru still couldn't see her but she managed to back flip out of the way in time then without knowing it raised her tail and once more used Iron Tail onto Queen Venomica's head. This earned Hotaru a hissing sound as the Succubus Naga Queen was sent backwards onto the ground with a massive thud "How was she able to see me?!"
Hotaru lands on the ground glad to have avoided that attack as she turned to the sound electricity flowing from her cheeks "I might be blind like a bat, but I still have my other senses, despite on what you might think, a human doesn't completely rely on sight, but has five senses to help him or her out."
Hotaru still couldn't see her attacker but she was staring at where Queen Venomica was whom raised a coil. Hotaru focused and shot out a Thunder Bolt attack at her attacker. This time the Thunder Bolt hit shocking Queen Venomica paralyzing her on the spot after dealing the damage. Hotaru now managed to see her foe although her vision was still blury. She could clearly still make out a dark figure. She prepared herself for Volt Tackle, forming electricity around her body not full on knowing that any damage using Volt Tackle would result into her taking recoil damage. Queen Venomica watches as Hotaru got onto all fours with her body surrounded with electricity then she charged on all fours rather fast "Coming at me are we?"
She spat more venom at Hotaru. Hotaru used Volt Tackle in a way no other Raichu or Pikachu were able to do. She used her gymnastic skills to avoid the venom even with blurry vision and continued her charge. Queen Venomica then gathered up an acidic attack and shot it at Hotaru. Hotaru even with her blurry vision managed to roll underneath the attack and continued her charge not letting up her Volt Tackle attack. Queen Venomica gasped seeing Hotaru come at her and she was just inches away. The Succubus Naga Queen raised her tail to whip out at Hotaru as a last minute resort then brought it onto Hotaru or so she hoped. Using her tail once again as a springboard, Hotaru flipped over the coils. So high was her leap that she came diving down still with Volt Tackle right onto Queen Venomica's surprised head and only then did she unleash the electric attack. There was an explosion as Hotaru was rocketed off the Succubus Naga Queen's head and onto the ground below where Ashley caught her seeing that Hotaru might've fallen onto her butt. Hotaru was grateful for the catch and still was coughing up blood as Ashley asked "Did you beat her?"
"I landed that hit in if that is your definition of beating her" Hotaru said then she and Ashley turned to see Queen Venomica seemingly alright.
"It wasn't enough!" Ashley shouted alarmed then she saw Hotaru kneeling onto all fours as the recoil damage from Volt Tackle was received onto her this was also received at the same time Queen Venomica's body hit the ground with a massive thud which created an earthquake in the small area but no real damage was done to Hotaru. Ashley saw Hotaru kneeling due to feeling the recoil damage from her Volt Tackle attack "Hotaru, stay with me!"
Queen Venomica tries to get up but her body refused to get up. For once in her life as a Succubus Demon Queen she had been beaten by a single individual...By Hotaru whom was now at the moment a mouse girl and it caused her to hiss evilly "I can't believe thissss...You sssomehow defeated...Me!, Queen Venomica...SSSSuccccubusss Naga Queen...Better enjoy this victory while you still live...I ssshall be back to right thisss wrong!"
She flicks her tail and with a massive cloud of smoke she vanishes to recover from the beatdown she just received. Hotaru sat relieved that she had somehow won this battle. She coughed up blood some more as she gradually returned to normal where she had no injury at all. She was glad for it. Ashley hugged her grateful for being rescued "Thank you for saving me even though you ended up being eaten."
"No telling this to Darnel" Hotaru pleaded with her "I don't want to explain to him how I ended up in that demon's stomach!"
Ashley agreed "He'd probably lecture you of never letting your guard down again."
Hotaru sighed "I better get back home."
"I should too" Ashley said she turned to the still paralyzed form of Loveria "What shall we do with her?"
"Leave her there" Hotaru told her friend "I don't have the energy to deal with her properly."
The two friends leave Loveria to rest there to recover hoping Miror B could find her and take her back to base. Hotaru made it home without her parents actually noticing she had been missing from her room. She had been lucky tonight on that one. Unaware Queen Venomica had appeared once more near Erdos. The Succubus Naga Queen was furious of her defeat as she assured him "Ssshe got away tonight!...Nexxxt time I meet her, ssshe's in my gut for sssure! I'll make sure she won't ssshock me nexxxt time ether!"
Erdos looked at the Succubus Naga Queen "I am amazed Queen Venomica that she had been able to defeat you but at least you know why even Cipher is having trouble with her."
"That I do Erdosss!" Queen Venomica said "Ssshe'sss resourceful and that Rototrixxx of hersss makesss her even more resssourceful than ever. My apologiesss for thinking Cccipher was weak. I underestimated her but nexxxt time I won't! I'll be going back to get my own army of Nagasss so that nexxxt time Hotaru meetsss me...It will be different!"
"Very well, we'll see you again Queen Venomica" Erdos told her.
The Succubus Naga Queen vanishes to get her own army. Erdos looks onward onto the night overlooking the entire city thinking Hotarumon 14...Let's see how long you last against us with our new ally helping to bring you down.
end of episode
Long episode but I wanted Hotaru's opponent in this one to be someone that is an ally to Cipher due to a sheer mistake on Trudley and Folly's part. Thus the solution is another OC of mine Queen Venomica, Succubus Naga Queen. And yes, she will be a reoccurring opponent Hotaru has to fight as well. I also want to make it clear that I have purposely misspelled Queen Venomica's words at least the words that have c,s,and x in them. Wanted to create a language specifically for her and her subjects and she will say THY as well. Originally this was supposed to be Sylveon for Hotaru to use but I decided Raichu was much better in this. Next episode is Episode 6: Phantom Phenomenon, Hotarumon 14 and a certain phantom boy must team up to save both Danvile and Manassas from a massive invasive army lead by Erdos, Vlad and Queen Venomica. Can the two heroes work together to stop this massive threat?
