A few hours after the announcement, and the final roster of candidates to become future kings have, the main candidates were all given a chance to rest and take it easy, especially since they had just come out of a free for all fight to be the last one standing among the pokemon.
The king had gathered all the would-be kings right after their rest, and was now ready to start the first real match of the tournament.
Two giant wheels of fortune was made, with the names of all the candidates on them, while a referee of sorts, Gliscor, was in charge of spinning it.
"Alright! Howdy folks! I'm this match's referee, Gliscor! And we are going to have a hell of a time! Now we must keep everything fair here, so we got this wheel of fortune to randomly pick each candidate and who they will fight! The first eight matches will be decided by the wheel of fortune, after that I cannot predict if we will keep this method of our pickings. But that's not all! These fights will let you go all out, so use as many abilities and weapons as you can! Show them you are a true king! And lastly, the most exciting part of all, the winner gets to do what they want with the loser and keep them as their own personal slave, or whatever you want them to be. Fuck them, humiliate them, its your right as king!" Gliscor announced.
The crowd went wild upon hearing that, it was a first knowing such a taboo and sexual act was going to happen in front of millions… And the reactions of the contestants varied amongst each other.
Aggron and Corviknight had a serious look upon each other, and as their eyes met, they could only think of surviving all the fights to clash upon each other, and put each other to shame should they win.
Others like Pangoro and Dusknoir felt indifferent to it, if they needed to humiliate someone, then so be it, they will do whatever it took to win.
Simisear and Slowbro blushed, they looked at all the contestants, and they could see that the others were not bad looking, and maybe losing wasn't so bad after all.
Spinda and Slither Wing were not listening, with Spinda too drunk to care and Slither Wing just not caring at all, he could fuck anyone he wanted, at least from where he came from.
Electivire, Walrein, Drapion, Nidoking, and Tyrantrum were practically elated, and their minds aimed to dominate everyone.
Others like Tropius and Audino, felt their blood run cold, how could this be an acceptable loss condition!?
"Hold on! Why do we have these conditions? This is depraved! This should be a formal event!" One pokemorph from the crowd said.
The king stood from his throne, walking forward so that the audience could see him.
"No matter how shameful, no matter how… Illegal things may seem. A king is supposed to do whatever underhanded tactics to make, even against their enemy, to grasp power into their hands. If these other candidates seek to take the throne from you, then you should give them a punishment they can never return from by humiliation. And indeed, sexual humiliation, as foretold by the arena rituals of humans, seek to both humiliate the enemy. First, by stripping them of all their dignity, their clothing, and second of all, making their bodies enjoy it despite the enemy ravishing them and making them an intimate lover, no matter what protests they give! It is the perfect and most harmless punishment they can never return from. Or should you want an execution instead?" The king asked the audience.
Everyone remained silent, nobody thought of that… They thought it was a friendly bout between the contestants, but now they know that not only were the contestants fighting for their pride, but for their own freedom as well.
"I take that silence as a no my liege. Now without further ado, let the first match commence!" The right hand of the king said, before the king sat back down on his throne.
Gliscor began spinning the wheels, creating a sound that felt a bit unnerving to the candidates as they waited in anticipation where the pin would eventually stop.
The wheels slowed down eventually until they stopped right at two names.
"And we got our first fight… The first candidate, captain of the king's personal army who had decided to abandon his post right at the announcement, can he lead this country as well as he leads other soldiers? Let's give it up for… Aggron!" Gliscor said as Aggron's name was selected.
"Me first huh? I feel sorry for whoever my opponent is. I'll crush them just as I crushed anybody who still follows and believes in the ways of the old world" Aggron said, stepping into the arena.
"And his opponent is not someone I expected! Hailing in the same kingdom, he is no ordinary fighter. In fact, is he capable of fighting at all? Does he have bigger dreams than cooking? He makes the yummiest cooking in the kingdom, but will this get him far enough as king? Let's see what he surprises us with! I give you… Appletun!" Gliscor said as Appletun stepped in the arena in turn.
"Hah! And they sent me the best already? I'm honored my knight, but I'll be taking that crown, and you to boot" Appletun said flirtatiously, the chef said as he placed his hands behind his back.
"Watch your tone chef! Or I might not even let you live. Surrender now, and I might give you the courtesy of being my personal cook, lest you end up as a whore I'll throw happily give away in the prisons. And trust me, you don't like how frisky prisoners can get without the touch of someone else" Aggrown growled.
"Not so kingly of you to say, but don't worry, I will show you what I have cooked up, I've been preparing for this tournament to give everyone here a delicious surprise" Appletun said, winking at Aggron.
"We've just got started, and the two of them are already having a heated argument. Remember, there are no rules except to use everything at your disposal, and to punish your opponent sexually. Doing otherwise will eliminate you from the competition!" Gliscor said.
The two began brandishing their weapons, they didn't need to be told twice.
One looked like he saw the other as inferior, best to have just stayed to take care of their own business instead of having dreams of grandeur.
The other one sought to prove him wrong, his smile hiding a more sinister and devious look behind it , taking the knight captain's words seriously.
Aggron pulled out what seemed to be a lance, made of metal. Though he then grabbed it with his other hand and it seemed to be more of a mechanical device, changing form as he twisted it to detach part of it into a shield.
"And we got the signature weapon of the knight captain! Able to adapt to any weapon and fight! Some say the weapon can transform into all sorts of things, like a sword and shield, or a lance in this case! This famed weapon was rumored to have been designed by humans once upon a time, and the captain likes to take care of this sword exceptionally well! The downside is that changing it into a different weapon takes time, but that's why he's the captain after all! On the contrary, he has worked the slower transformations aside to try to transition in the middle of attacks, Aggron's weapons work to adapt against any situation and make the fight as unpredictable for his opponents!" Gliscor said as he commented on the fight.
"Heh! Having second thoughts?" Aggron asked, wanting to intimidate Appletun with his weapon.
On the contrary however, Appletun chuckled.
"How entertaining, when I win, I will see if I can have someone turn that thing into a multi use cooking tool. I can already imagine how convenient it will be for me to cook with that function" Appletun said as he brought out two large spatulas that were hanging from his back.
"W-Wow! I've never seen someone bring a spatula to a weapon fight before, not to mention two! Though I don't exactly get how someone would use two oversized spatulas for this fight! But this is already an interesting battle to see just how far are resident chef will go to fight an experienced knight folks! But is that all he has up his sleeve? Or is he hiding more than we let on? Let's find out!" Gliscor said.
"Spatulas? Really? How do you expect to win with these?" Aggron said, though he felt a bit cautious.
Aggron never really fought anybody who used spatulas before… But this was just a chef, so how hard could it be?
"I don't expect, I just know it. Besides, I've fought other pokemorphs that seem to be tougher than you, I have more techniques to show the other contestants. But don't worry, I will certainly show you more techniques in private~" Appletun said.
"And… BEGIN!" Gliscor announced, commencing the fight between the two.
Please tell me who you vote for, because last time the votes between appletun and aggron were a tie, so please vote again on this chapter so I can determine who the people want to win
