We now enter the underworld. Hell. A fiery place full of evil. On a far side of hell was a castle, and sitting on the throne was Yama, the king of hell. Next to him was someone similar to Pegasus, but she had black skin, a red and black mane and tail, and four golden rings on her hooves.

"Nexia... the time has come..." Yama stated. "Tell me, have you chosen a mortal to form a bond with?"

"Yes." Nexia said. "I'm gonna be honest, there's not a lot of mortals on this planet that are good enough for me. But this man is just something else~" Nexia told him.

"Who is this man you speak of?" Yama asked.

Nexia grinned. "His full name Rowdy Lucifer Nicole Jolteon."

"Weird name, but ok." Yama used his powers to evaluate the person Nexia mentioned. When he did, something alarmed him.

"This man is about to form a bond with a goddess." Yama said.

"I don't care! I want this man, even if I have to share the bond~" The succubus said with lust. "His power is so strong~ Any goddess and succubus would go after him. And I need to get to him first before the others find out. And you can't do anything about it.

Yama sighed. There really was nothing he could do about it. "Fine, go ahead. But don't do anything dumb. he last thing we need is a war."

Nexia smiled and teleported away, leaving a single black feather behind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

King Umbreon was thrashing about at Tracia Castle. He was furious. The loss of Cerberus really set him back, and now Mara was nowhere to be seen.

"This is outrageous! Where the hell is she!" Umbreon exclaimed as he walked down the halls of his castle.

"Forget about her, honey. Now we have more time to ourselves," Espeon said lustfully. She went in for a kiss, but Umbreon pushed her away.

"Not now woman. I need to think of a plan. I have to get the Plate Crystal from Eevee, but the damn thing is already bonded to her," Umbreon said as he paced back and forth.

"Can't you like kill her or something?" Espeon asked.

"What the hell is killing her gonna do- Actually, if the user is dead, then I can control the crystal," Umbreon smiled evilly. "But if she's dead, that means Cerberus goes to the next one in line, and that's Mara."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Espeon said.

"Maybe, but there's something fishy about Mara. She's hiding something from us, and it ain't good," Umbreon said.

"Speaking of her, what are gonna do about her since she attacked you, and make you dick small," Espeon said with a slight giggle.

"Well, unknown to her I have something that'll nullify her magic. So when she gets back I'm gonna teach her to not mess with me. And don't worry about the other part, I got something special for that," Umbreon grinned.

"Ohh, I'd like to see this special thing now. I can't wait any longer," Espeon drooled.

"Then let's get back to our room and get to business," Umbreon told her. Before they could take a step, a Piplip in a maid outfit walked up to them with a letter in her hands.

"My lord, a letter from Raichu of Amber," Piplup said and handed Umbreon the letter. Umbreon took it and read it. A smile came across his face.

"What is it?" Espeon asked.

"It seems we have just gotten a lot powerful," Umbreon replied to her. He turned back to the Piplup. "Any word on Mara's location?"

The Piplup got nervous. "N-No sir, we haven't tracked her location."

Umbreon growled, he did not like this. "You know what happens whenever you fail at a task."

The Piplup shuttered. "W-What's my punishment sir?"

"Well, since Mara isn't here to be the WBA champions award, you'll be it instead," Umbreon told her.

"P-Please sir, I have a family at home! My husband is already stressed enough, please!" The Piplup pleaded.

"You should've done a better job then. You got a few hours before he arrives, so get yourself presentable," Umbreon said as he and his wife left. Leaving a crying Piplup behind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did someone say my name?!"

A yellow and blue blur jumped in front of Jolteon and the others. Everyone was surprised to see a Manectric suddenly appear in front of them. Well, all except Pikachu, who was looking the completely wrong way.

"Uhh, turn around sweetie," Pegasus said. Pikachu turned around, but not fully. "A little more," Pikachu turned a bit more. "There you go honey bunches."

"Really?"

"What? It's cute!"

"H-Hyde, is that really you?" Jolteon said in shock.

"The one and only. So good to see you again," Hyde said happily. He looks at everyone. "And my do all you ladies look gorgeous today."

"Don't push your luck," Shinx hissed.

"Right..." Hyde deadpanned. He then saw Pikachu. "Is this your son over there?"

Jolteon nodded. "Yep. He's Pikachu, and this is my daughter Pichu," Jolteon said pointing to Pichu.

"Well, aren't you just the cutest thing," Hyde said crouching down to Pichu. This made Pichu smile. Hyde then turned to Pikachu and walked up to him. "Look at you. I finally get to meet my best friends nephew. So you're the next king, huh?"

"Well, not really," Pikachu said sheepishly. "Sorry for sounding a bit rude, but what are you? I can't really see anything."

"Can't see? What happened?" Hyde asked.

"An accident with Raichu. He's gone mad with power and attacked him," Jolteon explained.

"So the rumors are true then. It's a shame really, he puts the Amber name to shame," Hyde said shaking his head.

"Why are you here Hyde? You haven't been here in years," Jolteon said.

"Well, it seems that the Volt Mach 5 has been stolen from my lab. And my tracking device located it here," Hyde said.

"You stole the suit!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"What? How else was I gonna get it?" Pegasus shrugged.

"Maybe God should give you that embarrassing punishment."

"Please don't."

Pikachu sighed. "Sorry, some horse I know took it. I can give it back to you."

"Oh, if you own it then no worries. Rex wanted you to have it anyway," Hyde said.

"HA!"

"You still stole it!"

"But he let you have it!"

"That doesn't change the fact that you stole it."

"Bite me!"

"Hyde, we need your help," Jolteon proceeded to tell Hyde about everything that happened.

"So you need a suit for her?" Hyde asked pointing to Shinx. Jolteon nodded. Hyde closely examined Shinx. "Hmm, you are smaller than most racers. I don't think I can get many gadgets in, but I can get enough to make a suit your size."

"Really?" Shinx said.

Hyde nodded. "All I need is your power core manufacture and sponsor."

"...Huh?!" Shinx said.

"It's not like I have that kind of laying around. We need an energy source on the suit, and no sponsor means no money, and no money means no materials to make a suit," Hyde explained. "Also, you need teammates as well. If I'm not mistaken the race your entering in is a team race. No chance at going solo in this race."

"Well, fuck," Shinx cursed.

"Don't worry, we'll figure something out," Jolteon reassured. She turned to Hyde. "How do we get these things?"

"Well, nearly every car company supply power cores. So just find one you like and sign a deal with them. As for a sponsor, they'll have to decide if you'll represent their brand well. Getting the sponsor is the harder part so I recommend you get a supplier for a power core first," Hyde said.

"Alright. Shinx, let's go. We're going to make a lot of phone calls," Jolteon said as she started walking away, dragging Shinx with her, who had a look of worry on her face.

"Something tells me Shinx is gonna have awful time with those phone calls," Buizel laughed.

"Tell me about it," Eevee chuckled.

Hyde shook his head and laughed. "All part of the sport. I'll be seeing ya'll later," Hyde said and left.

Eevee started to look around. "Hey, are we forgetting something?"

Buizel thought for a moment. "Now that you mention it..."

"Yeah you forgot something, ME!"

Eevee and Buizel turned to see and angry Mara standing behind them. Pikachu once again was facing the wrong way.

"Wrong way honeybun," Pegasus said. "It's so cute when you don't know where to look."

"Right..." Pikachu deadpanned and made a full 180.

"Oh great, you're still here," Eevee sighed.

"You'd think I would forget my date with my Pika?!" Mara scoffed.

"Yeah, you're pretty dumb you know," Eevee replied. Mara just growled and turned away from her. She then walked over to Pikachu and grabbed his hand.

"Come on Pika, we're going to have the best date ever!" Mara said cheerfully and dragged Pikachu out of the castle.

"H-Hey! Slow down a bit!" Pikachu exclaimed as he felt himself being dragged away. Eevee and Buizel could only watch at Pikachu and Mara went further from their view.

"Are we really gonna let that cow take him on a date?" Buizel said to Eevee.

"We made a deal with her, nothing we can do about it," Eevee replied.

"Still, I don't trust her around Pikachu," Buizel said.

"Trust me, she's the last one I want around him too," Eevee snarled.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't mean to be rude, but can you slow down a bit!" Pikachu exclaimed as he continued to be dragged by Mara.

Mara huffed and stopped. "Come on, I don't want to waste too much time!"

Pikachu grumbled. "Well, sorry for not being able to see or walk properly. Besides, it's like 8 am."

"9 am."

"9 am," Pikachu corrected himself. "And where are we going anyway? I doubt any place is open right now, considering we're in a crisis."

"We aren't having are date here silly. We're going to Tracia," Mara smiled and held his hand.

"What, what?" Pikachu said confused.

"We're here!" Mara exclaimed.

"This bitch did not..." Pegasus gasped.

"What happened?" Pikachu asked.

"She teleported us to the Tracia Kingdom," Pegasus said.

"Great..." Pikachu muttered. "How did you-"

"Magic," Mara answered before Pikachu could finish his sentence. "Now let's go, I wanna show you around."

Mara started to drag Pikachu again, who painfully forced himself to follow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been hours and Jolteon and Shinx were having no luck finding a manufacture and sponsor. They were in Jolteon's room with two phones in front of them. Most manufacturers either didn't want to supply power cores or were already too full to supply any. As for sponsors, most were already sponsoring someone else or didn't have the money to sponsor anyone.

"ARGH. What does it take to find a fucking sponsor!" Shinx exclaimed and banged her head on a table.

"I knew it would be hard, but not this hard!" Jolteon sighed loudly. "So that's Chevy, Ford, Mercedes, Ferrari, Dodge, McLaren, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Subaru, and Jeep."

Shinx sighs. "Who's next?"

Jolteon looked at her notes. "Hmm, how about we call-"

RING RING

One of the phones started ringing. Shinx picked it up and answered it.

"Hello?"

...

"Yes, I'm her."

...

"Really, you will?."

...

"Ok, we got a deal."

...

"I'm located at Amber Castle right now, are you able to get it her on time?"

...

"Ok, great, thanks for everything," Shinx hung up and turned to Jolteon. "We got a manufacture. Honda."

"Great, now all we need is a sponsor," Jolteon said.

"Well, they did tell me to expect another call soon," Shinx said. Sure enough, the phone started ringing again. Shinx answered it again.

"Hello?"

...

"Wait, really?"

...

"I-I'll try my best too, but I can't guarantee a good result."

...

"O-Ok, thanks."

Shinx hung up.

"Who was that?" Jolteon asked.

"Red Bull, they said they'll sponsor me, but I need to get a good result for them." Shinx said.

"Alright, let's go find Hyde and tell him everything." Jolteon said.

"No need, I already heard everything!"

Jolteon and Shinx looked around the room confused. They heard Hyde's voice, but they didn't see him anywhere.

"Hyde?" Jolteon said confused.

"Oh yeah, ya'll don't know about this," Suddenly, a hole in the floor appeared and out came Hyde. The two girls screamed in shock at his sudden appearance.

"What the hell!" Shinx shouted.

"What? This is one of the secret entrances to my lab," Hyde said.

"You have a secret entrance in my room!" Jolteon yelled angrily.

Hyde started sweating nervously. "I-I didn't spy on you, I promise."

Jolteon growled and slapped Hyde, causing him to fall down the hole he was in. She sighed and looked towards Shinx. "Might as well go down since we have everything," She jumped down, Shinx followed suit.

Luckily for them, transitioned into a slide, which led them wondering how Hyde even got up it. Though that's as far as their luck went as the end of the slide had them land roughly on the ground.

"Who the hell designed this thing?!" Shinx groaned as she and Jolteon stood up.

"Ahh, you should've been prepared," Hyde said to them.

"Prepare for what? To hit the ground face first," Shinx said.

"You should always be prepared for anything. Don't assume you'll always have a safe landing, there's not always a safe net for you," Hyde said and walked away. Jolteon and Shinx looked around in the lab. It was massive, it had everything you would think a lab would have, giant computers, big machines, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

"How long has this been here?" Jolteon asked in amazement.

"Many years, about thirteen to be exact. Me and Rex built this place so other teams in the WLR couldn't steal our information or equipment," Hyde walked over to the computer and pointed to a circular pad that was on the ground nearby. "Stand over there Shinx, I need to get a quick scan of you."

Shinx did so. Hyde pressed a button on his computer, the pad below Shinx started to light up and scan her. Seconds later her data showed up. Hyde looked at it closely.

"Hmm, I think I can work with this," Hyde said. He pulled up a 3-D model of Shinx and selected multiple parts of her body. "I can't put as many gadgets as I could due to your small size, but I can give you enough to stay competitive, got it?"

Shinx nodded. "Whatcha got?"

"First off, your legs are equipped with jump-jacks, this will help with maneuverability as well as avoiding wrecks. Speaking of wrecks, in the unfortunate event you get caught up in one and explode, a qwik-save device will be on you at all times. This will put you in a foam ball that is virtually unbreakable."

"Wait, these things can explode?!" Shinx said.

"Of course. We are using high tech energy cells after all. You'll be ok with that, right?" Hyde asked.

Shinx started having flashbacks of people screaming. "Uhh, sure. Whatever."

"Good. Now, on the bottom of your paws will extra grip pads in case of slick surfaces. You will also have a shield to defend against attacks from other racers. And in the event a part of the suit gets ripped off, the suit will regenerate itself, but only to a certain extent," Hyde explained.

"This is great and all, but I feel like it's missing something," Shinx said.

"How about a laser slicing tail, able to cut through almost anything," Hyde said as the 3-D scan went to her tail.

Shinx smiled. "That's more like it!"

"Hold up! This can't be legal, right?" Jolteon wondered.

"It is legal, because the 'almost' is flesh, so there won't be any murder," Hyde said. Jolteon sighed in relief.

"Can I still hurt people with it?" Shinx asked.

"Yes."

Shinx silently cheered to herself, careful to not get too carried away. "So will be all I need to enter?"

Hyde nodded. "Yep. This is it."

"How long will it take to make them?" Jolteon asked.

"Do you got the money for materials?" Hyde said.

"Uhh, I didn't think how Honda would be sending it, considering I don't have a bank account," Shinx said nervously.

Jolteon facepalmed. "Fuck! Of course we forgot about that!"

Hyde smiled. "Not to worry, by experience something should happen right about-"

An echoed scream could be heard. Seconds later, Fosuko came flying out from one of the slides Hyde had. He was holding a rather large box too.

"Oh dear, Fosuko," Jolteon sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Y-Your majesty, a package from Honda," Fosuko said and handed the box over.

"That was fast," Shinx said. She went over to the box and opened it. Inside were smaller boxes, two were labeled 'power core rally' and 'power core T-180'. There was also a small bag inside with a credit card inside with Shinx's name on it. Shinx took the card and tossed it to Hyde.

"There's your money," Shinx said. "So, how long?"

"Give me the week and I'll have it done." Hyde grinned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile up above, were walking down the halls of the castle. As they did, a few guards walked passed them. Eevee flinched when they got close, expecting something to happen. But nothing did. She sighed in relief as the guards disappeared from their view.

"What was that about?" Buizel asked her.

"Sorry, I guess it was a force of habit. I was half-expecting to be hit by them," Eevee said.

"Bloody hell, even the guards in Tracia hurt you?" Buizel exclaimed.

"Yeah, I don't think anyone there liked me. Probably because my sister made a bad image of me," Eevee said glumly.

"What's with you two anyway? Why does she hate you so much?" Buizel wondered.

"I always thought it was because I got more attention than her at first, but the more I think about it, the more confused I get," Eevee said. "I mean, we never had a problem before. We never fought or anything. Actually, I think we got along with each other at first. I guess she just started hating me for some reason."

"You think you might've done something when you were younger that made her angry?" Buizel wondered.

"No, I haven't done anything to her. I have more memories being abused than anything of her," Eevee sighed. "But it doesn't matter. She hates me and I hate her. Nothing will change between us."

"Gosh, it must've been terrible to live there," Buizel said.

"Tracia is awful. There's a 'romantic lake' there but it's full of dead bodies," Eevee said.

"Do police there not do their job?"

"My dad turned the police force into the punishment force."

"How original."

There was a small pause of silence.

"I wonder how Pikachu is doing?" Eevee said.

"He's probably miserable right now. You think Mara took him to that lake with dead bodies in it?" Buizel asked.

Eevee shook her head with disgust. "Hell no! Tracia is the worse place to have a date. Even Mara would know better."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh god! I'm gonna be sick! I wanna leave this place!"

"What's so bad about a lake?"

"There's dead bodies in here!"

"What?!"

Pikachu was currently sitting on a small boat next to Mara, who was having a more enjoyable time than Pikachu was.

"Isn't this so romantic Pika~" Mara said sweetly and nuzzled up against him.

"Uhh, sure," Pikachu replied flatly.

THUD

"What was that?" Pikachu asked.

"Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it," Mara reassured.

"W-We just hit a dead body," Pegasus said in a scared tone.

"Ok, I'm getting a bit freaked out now," Pikachu said shuddering a bit. Unfortunatly his shuddering was noticed by Mara.

"Are you cold dear? Here, let me wam you up," Mara moved herself closer to Pikachu. This made him feel very uncomfortable, especially since he counldn't see her.

"Pikachu, I have a feeling we should get out of here," Pegasus said.

"I would, but I can't leave if I don't know where I am. Plus Amber is a few thousand miles away. It'll take us weeks to get back," Pikachu said.

"So Pika, I heard you're the very talented person," Mara said and fluttered her eyes.

"Uhh, says who?" Pikachu said nervously.

"I have my sources. I heard you are really good at singing, care to show me?"

Pikachu started sweating nervously. "I-I would, but I can't really sing without any music so-" Pikachu felt something being pushed into his hands.

"There, now you can play music too," Mara smiled.

"Did you just give me a guitar?"

"Yep."

"Where did you get this from?"

"Don't worry about it. Now sing, and sing a song that'll make me cry."

"Do I have too?"

"If you don't then I'll make sure you don't go home for the next few days," Mara threatened.

"Sing motherfucker and sing good," Pegasus said.

"But I can't see."

"You're talented enough to do it. Now go!"

AJR- Dear Winter

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Dear Winter, I hope you like your name
I hope they don't make fun of you
When you grow up and go to school, okay?
'Cause Winter is a badass name

Dear Winter, I hope you talk to girls
Or boys or anyone you like
I just hope you don't stay in every night
'Cause I wish I was out tonight

Ah
It really doesn't seem like there's anyone for me
But dear Winter, I hope you like your name
I'm hoping that someday, I can meet you on this Earth
But shit, I gotta meet your mom first

Dear Winter, I hope you like this song
And even when you're thirteen
And you scream at me for parenting you wrong
I hope it's still a badass song

Ah
It really doesn't seem like there's anyone for me
But dear Winter, I hope you like your name
You know I cannot wait to teach you how to curse
But shit, I gotta meet your mom first

Dear Winter, don't move too far away
And please don't say I'm hovering
When I text you to ask about your day
I wanna hear about your day

Ah
Will we still hang out and talk when I'm no longer in charge?
Oh, dear Winter, I hope you like your name
I hope you let me take a shot with you on your twenty-first
But shit, you gotta ask your mom first

Dear Winter, I'm looking for your mom
I gotta find a girl that doesn't mind that I'm inside my head a lot
Winter, it won't be too long
First, I just gotta find your mom

Once Pikachu finished, he could hear light sobbing from Mara.

"Aww! That's so cute!~" Mara said softly.

Pikachu sighed. "Thank god. I didn't think I would be able to pull it off. Being blind make that a lot harder." Pikachu heard some more sobbing, but it wasn't from Mara. "Pegasus? Are you crying?"

"N-No! It was... onions! Yeah!" Pegasus said.

"How did you get onions?"

"Uhh, I'm a god?"

"Nice try."

"It was a sad song, ok!"

"Do you want to see them?"

Pikachu turned his attention to Mara. "What?"

"Do you want to see Winter? Because their mother is right in front of you," Mara blushed.

"NOPE! I don't like where's she's going!" Pegasus panicked.

"Uhh," Was all Pikachu could muster to day. He was speachless.

Mara nuzzeled up to him. "Oh Pika, once we do everything on our date, we're going to have the best night ever! And we'll make sure Winter comes to life. And we won't stop until we do."

"Mom is gonna fucking kill me!" Pikachu cried.

"It won't happen. A light being and dark being can't make a baby," Pegasus said.

Pikachu sighed. "Thank god! But if she's gonna keep going until she does-"

"She's gonna rape you for eternity!" Pegasus exclaimed.

"Pegasus, we need to get the fuck outta here," Pikachu said.

"Ok, I have an idea, but you aren't gonna like it," Pegasus said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jolteon and Shinx were walking down the castle halls after leaving Hyde's lab so he can build Shinx's suits.

Shinx spoke up. "Ma'am, can I-"

"Just call me Jolteon dear," Jolteon said.

"J-Jolteon, can I ask, have you ever thought of changing your career when you were a fighter?" Shinx asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Pikachu told me that you were a four-time champion in the WBA. Before you went pro, were you ever worried about having to change your career because of a chance you wouldn't make it?"

Jolteon thought for a moment. "Well, it was different for me back then. When I was young, which wasn't really that long ago, girls were brought up for their talents. But nowadays they're brought up for their popularity and looks. I always knew I would get in because I was a good fighter so I didn't really have to worry about getting in. Also I was the queen, I had no pressure on me. Do you think you won't make it to Pro?"

"It's just that... I've won tournaments and championships, but, I still get ignored despite my success. I'm worried that, if no one knows what I've done, then I won't make it to Pro, and my entire career will be over," Shinx said with a frown.

"They'd be dumb to ignore you. Your stats are nearly similar to Pikachu's when he was in the National Series. And if I remember correctly, you're one of the few girls who is old enough to go Pro," Jolteon said.

"That didn't stop them from bringing Pikachu up when he was seventeen. He missed half the season because he wasn't old enough," Shinx said.

"Ok, fair. But have you seen these other girls? I don't mean to be rude but a lot of them look worse than a used trash can," Jolteon whispered. The two shared a laugh. "You have nothing to worry about Shinx. You'll make it to pro, trust me."

Shinx gave a slight smile. "Thank you, I needed to get that off my chest."

"It happens to the best of us," Jolteon smiled. But it soon turned to a look of worry. "But this conversation does make me worried for Buizel."

"Why so?" Shinx asked.

"Well, it's because she's foreign here. Fans don't usually take to kind to people from other countries having success," Jolteon said. "Not to mention that she doesn't have a championship to back her. It's rare that a non-championship winner gets moved up to Pro."

"Do you think she'll make it with me?" Shinx said.

"Not without a championship," Jolteon said.

"QUEEN JOLTEON!!!"

Jolteon and Shinx were startled by the loud voice. Seconds later a Chimchar came running up to them with two letters in it's hand. "Ma'am, two important letters for you."

Jolteon took the letters from Chimchar. "You are dismissed," The Chimchar bowed and ran off. Jolteon tore open one of the letters with her claw and started reading it. A look of surprise came when she did. "What the hell?"

Shinx looked at her reading the paper. "What is it?"

"It's a missing person's report, and it's requesting a search party to look for Buizel," Jolteon said.

"Huh?" Shinx said confused.

"I know right? Strange," Jolteon kept reading the note. "It says here that the person who requested the search is Buizel's father, Floatzel."

"What about my father?"

The two girls turned to see Buizel and Eevee walking towards them.

"How'd you guys get here?" Shinx asked.

"It's not like we can exactly go anywhere. We've been wandering around the halls for bloody hours," Buizel said.

"How'd the sponsorship thing go?" Eevee asked.

"Red Bull and Honda," Shinx answered. "Hyde said he'll have my suit ready by the end of the week."

"So, what's this deal with my father?" Buizel questioned.

"Oh, he sent out a missing persons report for you and requested a search," Jolteon said.

Buizel huffed annoyed. "Tell that tosser to bug off! I don't want anything to do with that bastard."

"Woah, I was not expecting that," Shinx said.

"Well, since you aren't really missing, the request will have to be denied anyway. But we do have to let him know where you are since you are a minor," Jolteon said.

"Do you have too?" Buizel huffed.

"Yes, I have too. It's the law," Jolteon said.

"Fine," Buizel grunted as she crossed her arms and looked away.

"Is everything alright?" Eevee asked.

"I'd rather not talk about it," Buizel said quietly

Deciding to not push it further, Jolteon looked at the other letter and let out a huff. "A royal council letter. I'm not dealing with this right now. Pichu, can you-" Jolteon turned to look at her back, but when she did, she saw that Pichu was not there. "Pichu?" Jolteon started frantically looking for her daughter. "Ashley where are you? Ashley?!" Jolteon started to run down the halls, holding the letter in her mouth.

Eevee, Buizel, and Shinx looked at each other with a bit of confusion. "Ashley?" Eevee wondered. The other two shrugged. The three ran after Jolteon to help her find Pichu. When they turned down a hall, Jolteon stopped and stared at the wall. Eevee and the others caught up to her and stopped.

Eevee spoke up. "Ma'am, what are you-"

Jolteon interrupted her. "Shh! You hear that?"

They all listened closely. They could hear strange noises coming from the walls.

"What is it?" Shinx asked.

"It sounds like there's multiple sounds going off at once," Buizel said.

"I know what it is," Jolteon smiled. She put her paw on the wall and revealed a door hidden in it. They recognized it as the door to Pikachu's room. She opened the door and they could see Pichu playing with a square object. Pichu looked at the opened door and saw her mom and the others standing there.

"Mommy!" Pichu cheered. She ran up and gave her mom a big hug.

"Thank god Ashley. Please stay next to mommy at all times," Jolteon told her. Pichu nodded in response.

"Her name is Ashley?" Eevee spoke up.

Jolteon laughed sheepishly. "I guess I should've said something about that earlier. Pichu's real name is Ashley. I didn't want to use it much until she evolved. Though I do use her name whenever I'm in a panic."

"Wait, so do you all have different names then?" Shinx questioned her.

"Well, duh. You think I'm gonna let them keep their birth names? They're not the only Pichu and Pikachu in the world you know. Don't you guys have names" Jolteon told them.

The three girls stood silently for a moment before they responded.

Eevee spoke first. "Yeah... but, no one really called me by my name before."

Then Buizel spoke. "I was given my name late."

"I hate my name." Shinx stated bluntly.

Jolteon deadpanned at the three. "Ok... let's redo the name game real quick then. I want full names only. I'm Queen Nicole Jolteon."

"That's not your full name ma'am," Eevee said.

"It will be when I make this divorce official. I'm tired of being in the Amber family." Jolteon, er, Nicole said.

Eevee shrugged. "Fair enough. I'm Princess Aaliyah Eevee Umbreon Tracia."

"Why the long name? And why is your father's name in your name?" Shinx asked.

"I'm still a Princess. And it's required by law in all kingdoms to have the names of one of their guardians until the age of 18, then I can remove his name from mine." Aaliyah replied.

"Guess I'm next then," Buizel spoke up. "My full name is Mavis Buizel Floatzel."

"Mavis... Where have I heard that name before?" Nicole wondered out loud.

"My dad named me after some character from a British show with talking trains. Honestly, I don't mind the name. Probably the only good thing my tosser of a dad has done for me." Mavis grumbled.

"So Shinx, what's your name?" Aaliyah asked her.

"I hate my name, just call me Hikaru Shinx," She said.

"But, wouldn't you rather let us call you by a name you like?" Mavis said puzzled.

"Hikaru isn't my real name, but I'd rather be called that than my other name." Hikaru stated.

"What's wrong with your real name?" Nicole asked.

"Don't question it. Only one person knows my real name. That person is Pikachu, and I only intend on Pikachu only knowing. No one else." She growled.

"I feel like you're threatening us." Aaliyah said nervously.

"You said it, not me." Hikaru said. Aaliyah sheepishly laughed, trying to not show her fear.

Aaliyah made a mental note to herself. "Note to self, don't ask for her real name." Then Aaliyah realized something. She turned to Nicole with a curious look. "Ma'am, what's Pikachu's real name?"

Nicole was about to answer, but she was interrupted by the loud cry of an elephant. They all turned to see Ashley, who pressed one of the buttons on the black box she was playing with.

"What the hell is that?" Hikaru asked.

"Ashley, where did you get that launchpad?" Nicole asked her daughter.

Ashley pointed towards the bed. "It was on the bed. The paper told me to press the buttons."

"Buttons?" Nicole looked towards the bed and saw a piece of paper laying on top. She walked towards it, picked it up, and started reading it. "Press the buttons until you find the right one for this day. The lights will help you out as well. Hope you enjoy." She read aloud.

"Is that from Pikachu?" Mavis asked.

"Sure looks like it. I know this handwriting from anywhere." Nicole replied and showed them the note. It was very messy hand writing. Almost like a child wrote it.

"Talk about chicken scratch." Aaliyah commented.

"You know, it's kinda hard to teach someone how to write when you can barely write yourself." Nicole stated with a huff.

"Couldn't you just hired someone to teach him?" Mavis wondered.

"I was fifteen and dumb, alright! Get off my back." Nicole turned back to the spokestep. "Now, let's try this out." Nicole pressed the first button on the top.

"Where my haters? Where my haters? I don't got none. I'm not famous, no!"

That didn't sound right to Nicole, so she pressed the next one.

"Pain! You make me a, you make me a. Believer! Believer!"

Then the next one.

"I'm so alone. Nothing feels like home. I'm so alone. Trying to find my was back home to you."

Then the next...

"You would not believe your eyes, with ten million fireflies."

And then-

"Happy birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday."

That was it. Of course it would, it was her and Ashley's birthday today. She noticed a trail of lights going to the button she pressed to another one. She pressed the second button.

"We're going on a trip, in our favorite rocket ship."

"Huh?" Hikaru said confused.

"Is he trying to tell us to go somewhere?" Mavis questioned.

"I think he might be." Nicole said. She pressed the next button the lights were leading to.

"All I do it win win win no matter what."

The launchpad didn't light back up.

"That must be it." Nicole said.

Aaliyah pondered. "What place involves winning?"

"I would say the championship stadium, but that place is a mess right now." Hikaru said.

"Wait a minute." Mavis turned to Nicole. "Does Pikachu have a place where he keeps his trophies?"

"Yeah, on the other side of the castle." Nicole replied.

"Maybe that's where it's telling us to go. I mean, Pikachu wins a lot and he has to keep his trophies somewhere." Mavis suggested.

"Well, it's worth a shot. Not like we got anything else better to do." Hikaru said.

"Well, I hope you're ready for a long walk." Nicole said as she started walking to the door. Ashley quickly jumping on her back.

The three looked at Nicole, confused. "What do you mean by that?" Aaliyah asked.

"It's a forty-five minute walk to the other side of the castle." Nicole answered.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"How big is the bloody fucking castle?!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Pegasus, normally I would agree with your ideas, but this is insane!"

"Oh come on, this'll work. All you need to do is put her in a deep kiss to the point she'll pass out with love. Then we can escape."

"There's no way I'm doing that. I'd rather kiss you than Mara!"

"Oh, well in that case..."

"Don't even try."

"Pika, are you talking to someone?" Mara asked.

Pikachu got nervous. "N-No. What makes you think I'm talking to someone?"

"Oh, just a feeling. I would be really upset if you were talking to someone during our date. Especially if it was a girl," Mara said.

"W-Well, you don't have to worry about that," Pikachu said nervously.

"Good, because I would've have to killed them if you were," Mara said.

"Ok, I'm scared. I wanna leave now," Pegasus said.

"Is there a way to escape without me kissing her?" Pikachu asked hopefully.

"Well, considering I didn't have the time to teach you how to fly, this is the only way to distract her honeybunches. So get those lips ready."

"And what if this doesn't work?"

"Then I'll give myself that punishment I was talking about earlier. Deal?"

Pikachu sighed. "Fine, deal. Let's just get this over with-"

Before Pikachu could finish his sentence, Mara leaned up to him and kissed him full on the lips. This was a shock to Pikachu as he didn't expect or see Mara coming up to kiss him.

"Pegasus, I think your plan failed before it could even start."

"Dammit! She's immune!"

"Honestly, why did you think this would even work?"

"...It worked on T.V shows..."

"I can see why it failed."

Mara separated herself from Pikachu. "Did I ever say how good you taste?"

"Most likely," He replied.

"Good, because you taste good," Mara leaned closer to Pikachu. "How about you let me get a better taste."

"How about no," Pikachu shuttered. He could feel Mara get even closer to him. "Three girls was already enough, why does it have to be four?!"

"Because you're the main protagonist."

"You're not helping!"

"You know, most men would die to be in the position you're in."

"Well tell them it's not a pleasant as it seems."

"Can you blame them though? What girl wouldn't fall for you? You're sweet, handsome, strong, your cute ears are twitching..."

"Wait, what!" Only Pikachu knew what twitch ears meant. He quickly turned his head to the side and put his hand out to the side next to Mara, at the same time a loud bang was heard. Pikachu and Mara sat in silence. Pikachu out opened his hand and a bullet fell down from inside. The bullet was aimed directly at Mara.

"A sniper," Pikachu said and stood up.

"Pikachu, your hand. It's bleeding!" Mara pointed out

"I caught a bullet, what did you expect? But let's focus on the main problem here, someone just tried to kill you," Pikachu said.

"Uhh, yeah... I think I know why," Mara sighed.

"Huh?" Pikachu said confused.

BANG

Another gunshot was heard.

"I'll explain in a bit," Mara held onto Pikachu's arm. "Let's get out of this place and go back to Amber."

"We're going back to A-"

With a bright flash, Pikachu and Mara flashed in the middle of nowhere in the Amber Kingdom. Pikachu was still trying to comprehend on what was happening.

"Ok, what the hell is going on? Why are those guys hunting you down?" Pikachu demand.

Mara smiled. "Oh, just the usual. Whenever me or Eevee run away from the castle, our father sends out an army to hunt us down. It's pretty fun once you get used to it."

Pikachu was in shock at what he heard. "He sends an entire army after you two? Your dad is fucking crazy!"

"He's definitely crazy but he's not fucking. Not with his tiny stick anyway," Mara laughed. "Now let's keep going, we still have lots to do," Mara grabbed Pikachu's arm and started dragging him away again.

Pikachu sighed. "I can't deal with this anymore. I just wanna go home and spend time with my mom and sister on their birthday."

"I'm trying to think of something honeybun, but with my powers limited I can't do much. I can only use Star Blast and short Star Boosters," Pegasus said to him, feeling a bit guilty for not being able to do more.

"Ah well, at least you're still here Pegasus. I'm really glad you are, this date would've been a whole lot worse," Pikachu said thankful.

"Aww, you're so sweet," Pegasus awed. "You're the nicest person to ever take control of me. None of the other kings and queens would bother even speaking to me."

"Really? Don't you decide if they become king or queen?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean that they have to talk to me. It's nice to have someone actually talk to me normally for once. All this royalty stuff is getting annoying."

"Tell me about it. But seriously, no one else wanted to talk to you?"

"No, I guess I'm... just not interesting enough. But it's probably for the best. To be honest, I didn't like most of them. A lot of them were creeps."

"Can't blame you there. Seems like every person in Amber is weird," Pikachu said.

"Yeah, unfortunately the kingdom has a bad track record of decent people. Also duck."

"Huh?" Pikachu suddenly ran into a low hanging tree branch that he couldn't avoid in time.

"Sorry."

"Eh, no worries. Wait a minute, where's Mara?"

Pegasus looked around for the Tracia Princess, but she was nowhere to be found. "I don't know. I think you went in a different direction than she did."

"So... we're lost."

"Yep."

"That's just great..." Pikachu groaned.

"No, this is good. We have a chance to get back to the castle," Pegasus said.

"Yeah, but we have no idea where we are. If only I saw something familiar, then I would know how to get back," Pikachu said.

Pegasus thought for a moment. "Hmm, you may not be able to see, but I can. I need to search the area, but I need you to hold me up so I can do an area scan."

Pikachu did so. Pegasus let out a blue wave, trying to find anything that could help them. She looked for miles until she finally found something.

"Got something?"

"What did you find? Did you see Amber Castle?"

"No, Amber Castle is too far away. But I found two Pokemon, a Lucario and a Gothitelle. Both are very powerful," Pegasus told him.

"Which way?"

"Ninety degrees to your left. They're about a mile away."

Pikachu turned to his left and got on all fours. "Think I can make it without hitting anything?"

"Depends, are good enough to not hit anything?"

"You bet I can," Pikachu smirked and dashed off with Quick Attack, avoiding everything in his way.

Meanwhile up ahead, Lucario and Gothitelle were sparring with each other. Gothitelle was shooting a barrage of Shadow Balls at Lucario while in return, it was knocking them out of the way with Bone Rush. After a few minutes, the two stopped and looked at each other.

"Let's stop for today," The Lucario said.

Gothitelle nodded. "Why are we even training honey? You're already stronger than most in the WBA. "

"I know, but... that kid seems different," Lucario said.

"How different?" Gothitelle asked.

"I feel something in him, like he hasn't unleashed his full power yet," Lucario said.

"How is that possible? He's just a Pikachu."

"Tell that to the guy who got third last year. He didn't even make it because of that Pikachu."

"Looks like you got your work cut out for you."

"Indeed I do," Lucario agreed. The two started to walk back home, but Lucario suddenly stopped and looked around. Gothitelle noticed this and stopped as well.

"What's wrong?" Gothitelle asked.

"Somethings coming," Lucario said. "Quick, move!"

Lucario and Gothitelle quickly jumped aside, just in time as a yellow blur rushed by them and crashed into a tree, then fell to the ground. The two looked at whoever just flew past them. It was Pikachu.

"Hey honeybun, I got good news and bad news."

"Tell me the good news first."

"Well, we got to that Lucario. Bad news is you're almost out of energy."

"...Great!"

"Is that you kid?" Lucario asked, walking up to him.

"Oh, hey Lucario. I was looking for you," Pikachu said as he laid on the ground with his eyes closed.

"You don't look like you're in the best of shape. What happened?"

"Did you not see what happened two days ago? I got blown up by an atomic demon ball and Raichu destroyed the stadium. Championship is delayed for the next four months to repair the stadium," Pikachu explained. "How have you not seen this? Aren't you in the tournament too?"

Lucario blushed, as well as Gothitelle, "Uhh, we were taking care of... other things..." He replied.

"Ok, well, I need your help. And if you don't help me, the princess of Tracia is going to be married to the prince of Amber with her new baby," Pikachu said.

"You had one hell of a day huh?"

"Tell me about it."

Lucario let out a sigh. "Alright, what do you need help with?"

"I need you to use your aura to heal my eyes and tell me where the hell I am," Pikachu said.

"Ok, hold still," Lucario put his paw over Pikachu's eyes and used his aura to heal them. After a few minutes, he removed them, Pikachu opened his eyes and he could see everything clearly.

"Holy shit that worked."

"Wait, you weren't even sure it would work?"

"I don't know anything about aura, Pegasus."

"Fair point."

Pikachu got off the ground and back onto his feet. "So, where am I?"

"In the training fields near Alpha Town," Gothitelle told him.

"Hey, don't you live there?" Pegasus asked him.

"Yeah, why? And how did you know that?" Pikachu wondered.

"Your mom. Anyway, let's go there so you can rest up. No way we'll make it to the castle with the amount of energy you have left."

"Ok, then let's-"

"OH PIKACHU!~"

Everyone's head turned to the loud voice in the distance. They could also feel a large amount of energy coming towards them. The energy felt dark and evil.

"What was that?" Lucario asked in surprise

"My worst nightmare. I'm off guys, I owe you," Pikachu said as he dashed away quickly. Lucario and Gothitelle looked at each other, both very confused. Suddenly, a silver blur rushed past them.

"That kid sure has a lot on his hands," Lucario said.

"No kidding," Agreed Gothitelle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, I've been meaning to ask. How did you two meet Pikachu?"

Hikaru and Mavis turned to , surprised by her sudden question. They along with Jolteon and Pichu were on their way to Pikachu's trophy room. They weren't even halfway there and it felt like it was taking forever to reach the other side of the castle.

"Why the sudden question?" Hikaru asked.

"Well, you two know how I met him, but I want to know how you two met him." Aaliyah said.

"Yeah, that's true. There's been so much going on we didn't really have time to really talk about it." Mavis said.

"How about you go first Bui- I mean, Mavis. After all, you met him first." Hikaru offered.

"Well, ok. I met Pikachu the day I moved to Amber. He was really shy when we met. He kept stuttering every sentence when we talked. Took him a week to get comfortable with me."

"Pikachu? Shy? No way." Aaliyah said in disbelief.

"Pikachu is the shyest person you'll meet. He'll only talk around people he is comfortable with. It's honestly really cute." Hikaru said.

Mavis giggled. "He'll also have little panic moments when he's really uncomfortable around someone, and the only way to calm him down is if you cuddle with him."

Hikaru slightly squealed. "It's just too cute! It's a side of him you never see and it happens to be his cutest."

"Sounds like I need to try this for myself." Aaliyah laughed.

Mavis chuckled. "Anyway, our first time meeting was quite the interesting one. We met at his mums old Diner..."

FLASHBACK: 16 YEARS AGO

Note: Mavis was not given a name at this point, but I'm going to use the name Mavis for this flashback.

"Honey, are you sure this place is good?"

"Relax Greg, I heard this place is on the rise lately, especially since it's only run buy a mother and her son."

"If you say so Wendy."

Two Floatzels, an orange one named and a bright gold one named Wendy, were walking down a sidewalk in a city. Close behind them was 2-year-old Mavis, she was looking around her new home with amaze and nervousness. She had never seen so many people in one city before. Her family had moved from a small town in the U.K. called Fordwich. Barely 500 people lived there and it was only a couple hundred acers big. They never really left town much. The only one to leave was their father but it was only to participate in WBA tournaments. Unfortunately he never could make it past the first round, which led to his early return. Greg became the laughing stock of the league. Wanting to start fresh, he moved his family to the Amber Kingdom to restart his career. To say he improved slightly would be an overstatement.

The trio soon found themselves in front of the Diner. They walked in and saw multiple families seated and eating their food. They also spotted a young Jolteon by the front counter. They saw that they were covered in bandages, there was also a sign that said "Service will be slow due to injuries."

The three water types walked up to the front counter, where the Jolteon instantly noticed them.

"Hello! Welcome to Bolt Diner. My name is Nicole and I'll be your waiter, cook, and pretty much everything else. How can I help you today?" The Jolteon greeted kindly.

"Oh, you work alone?" Wendy asked.

"Not normally. My son usually helps but he needs to recover from a concussion he received during a fight." Nicole replied. "I notice you have an accent, are you new here?"

Wendy nodded. "We are, we moved here from the U.K."

Nicole smiled. "Oh. Well I hope you enjoy Amber Kingdom. There's lots of friendly people here." Nicole handed them a couple of menus. "But I recommend you stay away from Cince. That's the last place you'll want to be." Nicole noticed Mavis hiding behind her parents. "Your child can play in the kids area to my right. My son is there right now. I'm sure he'll like a playmate."

Wendy looked down to her daughter. "Would you like to play in there?" She asked her. Mavis stayed silent, then nervously nodded. Wendy smiled. "Ok, if you want to come back, me and your father will be at that table." She said pointing to an empty table with three chairs. Mavis nodded. She started walking towards the room Nicole had referred to. She looked inside and saw a small Pichu circling around a red box. The Pichu hadn't noticed Mavis walk in, and she chose the worst time to speak up.

"H-hello?" Mavis spoke. The Pichu, startled, jumped up and hid behind a bean bag. There was an awkward silence until Mavis spoke up again. "H-Hello? I-I'm sorry f-for s-scaring y-you...". The Pichu poked his head out and looked at Mavis, his ears twitching.

"Hello..." He replied shyly. "You have a pretty voice."

Mavis blushed with embarrassment. "O-Oh, t-thank y-you." She said nervously. "I-I'm Buizel."

"I'm Pichu." Pichu greeted.

Mavis turned to the rex box Pichu was looking at earlier. "What's that?"

"I don't know. When I turned the handle it started playing creepy music." Pichu walked over to the box and continued to turn the handle. Mavis walked by his side. The box played three more notes until...

POP

A clown burst out of the box. Pichu and Mavis screamed. They both used Thunder Shock and Water Gun respectively on the box, destroying it completely. It caused a loud noise to go through the diner. So loud that Nicole stopped what she was doing and rushed over.

"Are you two ok?" She asked with urgency. She looked around the room and saw the destroyed box. She sighed in relief. "Oh thank goodness nothing major." She walked over to them but then stopped. She sniffed the air and her eyes shot open. Something was burning. She rushed out of the room and back into the kitchen. Pichu and Mavis stood there frozen, trying to process all that happened.

"Is your mum ok?" Mavis asked.

"She's probably fine." Pichu shrugged.

CLANG

"Maybe not!" Pichu cried and ran to the kitchen. Mavis ran over to her parents to get help

End Flashback

"Ok, in my defense, I was not in the condition to be cooking." Nicole stated.

Mavis giggled. "So one thing led to another, and we became best friends."

"That's one hell of a story. You went from a jack-in-a-box to almost burning the place down." Hikaru said.

"What the hell is a jack-in-a-box?" Aaliyah asked confused.

"Aaliyah, at this point you should start googling stuff on a phone." Hikaru said.

"A phone?" Aaliyah said puzzled.

"You need help." Hikaru sighed.

"Girls." Nicole spoke up. "We're here, just behind this wall-"

"Your highness?"

Nicole turned to see Fosuko standing in front of her. "What is it?"

"We need to talk about something. It's important." Fosuko said seriously.

Nicole sighed. "Fine. Let's talk." Nicole walked into a nearby empty room with Fosuko and Ashley behind her. Leaving Aaliyah, Hikaru, and Mavis behind.

"Well, now what?" Mavis said.

"I think it's the perfect time to tell how I met Pikachu now." Hikaru started. "But I'm just saying this now, I'm about to say somethings that are shocking. Pun intended."

"Uhh, like what?" Aaliyah asked.

"Are you ready to hear is?" Hikaru asked. Aaliyah and Mavis nodded. "Good. I used to be an assassin."

Silence...

"I feel like I should explain myself." Hikaru said.

"I don't think you have a choice in the matter." Mavis stated.

"Wait, so, you killed people?" Aaliyah questioned.

"No. Well, yeah. But no." Hikaru sighed. "Let me explain this better. I assassinate other assassins."

Aaliyah and Mavis blinked. "You need to explain this a little better mate." Mavis said.

"Ok. Me and Pikachu were in a group called the S.A.O. Which means Secret Assassins Organizations. Our job was to track down assassins that were hired to kill people. Then once we capture them, we let others do the rest. Which is kill them."

"Wait, you AND Pikachu?" Mavis said.

Hikaru nodded. "Yeah. Pikachu joined when he knew that assassins were after his mom. I'll tell you, I never seen anyone join so fast before."

"Who's idea was it to have teenagers go after dangerous assassins?" Aaliyah said in disbelief.

"Change it to five-year-olds and you'll be more accurate." Hikaru corrected.

"Five?! That young?!" Mavis exclaimed.

"You know, Greninja and Braixen we're desperate to get people. They'll take anyone, even children. As long as their strong enough." Hikaru said.

"How'd you even meet Pikachu in the first place? Cause I know that both of us were restricted on where we went at five." Mavis said.

"Well, it was during a mission. My first one in fact. And to be honest, I would've failed if he didn't come through." Hikaru said as she began explaining the day she and Pikachu met.

Flashback 14 years ago

Same with Mavis. Hikaru wasn't called Hikaru back then. But I'm still gonna use her name Hikaru in this flashback.

"Are you sure you'll be ok Ta-BZZZ"

"I'll be fine Greninja, just let me focus." A young five-year-old Hikaru stated.

"Ok, just making sure. Good luck, and whenever you-"

CLICK

Hikaru sighed as she turned off her earpiece. 'Why did I even join this?' She thought to herself.

Oh yeah... she was homeless. And the S.A.O provided food and shelter, and also the only job that accepted a five-year-old.

"And of course they put me on the hardest mission too." She groaned. "'Oh, it's no big deal, just a Scyther trying to kill the princess. It'll be easy'" She said in a mocking voice.

RUSTLE RUSTLE

Hikaru silenced herself and hid herself in a bush. She peeked out and saw her target. But there was one tiny problem.

This Scyther was two times bigger than it should be.

'Welp, I'm fucked.' She cursed to herself. She sighed. 'Well, either I'll live or die fighting him.' Hikaru jumped out of the bush and landed behind the Scyther. "Hold it fucker!"

Scyther stopped, turned around, looked at Hikaru, and laughed. "You?! I knew the S.A.O were short on staff, but I didn't think they would sent a kid after me. Do yourself a favor kid, and turn back now before things get ugly."

Hikaru growled at him and attacked with her discharge. Unfortunately her being a five, she didn't have a lot of strength, and on top of that she hadn't been eating much, and was very malnourished, her attack did absolutely nothing to Scyther. Even with the type advantage.

Scyther glared at Hikaru. "You really want to do this, huh?"

Hikaru shuddered, she tried again, but found herself unable to launch an attack. Her body had run out of electricity. The yellow rings on her paws started emitting smoke that rose high quickly. Hikaru had a rare condition for electric types. Whenever she's out of electricity, her body starts letting off smoke, and it starts to heat up her body, to the point where her organs could melt from the heat.

Hikaru nervously laughed. "Y-You know what? I think I'll take your advice."

"Too late for that." Scyther lifted his arm and swung it at Hikaru. Hikaru yelped as she avoided the attack and started running. Scyther chased after her. Hikaru ran as fast as she could, but got tired very quickly. Scyther used this to his advantage. He tripped Hikaru with an Air Slash that barely hit her leg. Then he used Slash on a nearby tree. The tree fell over and landed on Hikaru. Hikaru screamed in pain as he body was crushed by the giant tree. Scyther stood in front of Hikaru and laughed.

Hikaru looked at him with fear in her eyes. "P-Please... d-don't kill me! PLEASE!"

Scyther smirked. "Hmm, why should I?"

"I-I'll do anything. Anything you say! Just don't kill me! Please!" Hikaru begged.

Scyther looked at Hikaru thoroughly. "Well, you are pretty young... and small." He grinned. "I think I can sell you for a high price in the black market."

Hikaru shivered. She knew all to well about the black market."N-No! Anything but that! Please! Anything but that!"

"Sorry, but you don't get a choice in this." Scyther got closer to her. Hikaru closed her eyes and feared the worse.

Until...

A streak of yellow slammed into Scyther. He screamed out in pain as he was knocked away from Hikaru. The yellow blur started attacking more. Faster and faster it went. It was so fast that Hikaru could barely see it anymore. The blur slammed into Scyther one last time. That did it. Scyther laid on the ground motionless. Hikaru didn't even think he was breathing anymore. The blur stopped in front of her. There she could see who it was, and to say she was shocked was an understatement.

There in front of her was a Pikachu, but she could tell he was near her age. He was just as small as her too. The Pikachu walked up to her and lifted the tree off of her and set it aside. Hikaru was amazed. He was so strong.

"A-are you ok?" Pikachu asked her. Hikaru tried to stand, but found herself unable to. Her hind legs were broken.

"N-no." She replied as she started crying. Pikachu got closer to her.

"Can I pick you up?" He asked. Hikaru nodded. Gently, Pikachu lifted her into his arms. This make Hikaru blush. He then transferred some of his electricity into her body, which stopped the smoke coming out from her. "I'm gonna bring you to my mom. She knows what to do." He told her.

"I-Is she nice?" Hikaru asked nervously.

Pikachu nodded. "Yeah. She's the princess."

End Flashback

"After I told him what happened, he secretly joined the S.A.O, and we became partners." Hikaru finished.

"That is one crazy story." Mavis said. "Why in the hell would that frog bloke even put you in that situation in the first place?"

"Yeah, that wasn't my smartest choice."

The three girls jumped in surprise. Out of nowhere, Greninja appeared right next to him. Then Braixen joined, though she landed with a thud.

"We're still working on her form." Greninja deadpanned.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Hikaru growled.

"Just listening in on your story. Though I have to say, you did a terrible job on explaining why you were smoking." Greninja commented.

"Yeah, why did that happen?" Aaliyah asked.

"It's a rare condition for electric types. If we run out of electricity, our body start letting out smoke from where our electricity discharges. My electricity comes from my legs, that's why the smoke came from there." Hikaru explained. "It also heats up our body a lot, to the point we could literally melt. Pikachu has the same condition as well, but his comes from his cheeks. We both made an agreement with each other. If either of us ran out of electricity, we would both make as much smoke as we can, that way when we look up we can help each other."

"Is this a thing only between you and Pikachu?" Braixen asked.

Hikaru nodded. "Yeah, why?"

"Uhh, you may want to look outside." Greninja suggested. Worried, the three rushed to a nearby window. Far in the distance was a trail of smoke rising from the ground.

"Is that..." Aaliyah started.

"It's him." Hikaru said.

"That's another reason why we're here." Greninja spoke. "One of our flight scouts reported a trail of smoke heading towards Alpha Town."

"And you're not doing anything about it?!" Hikaru yelled.

"He's not of our concern since he is no longer with the S.A.O." Greninja said.

"Oh really? So you don't care about the PRINCE OF FUCKING AMBER!!!" Hikaru shouted. Greninja stayed quiet. Hikaru growled. "If you aren't gonna be any help then leave!"

"Shinx-"

"LEAVE!" A red aura flared around Hikaru, and her electricity crackled loudly. Greninja quickly left. Braixen stayed put. She opened a bag she had and set a small tablet on the ground.

"Take it. It's an updated version of the ones we have. And I'm sorry for my husbands rudeness." Braixen said and teleported away. Hikaru waited a few seconds, then calmed herself down.

"You don't like them, huh?" Mavis commented.

"I don't have a problem with Witch, it's HIM I have a problem with." Hikaru sneered.

"Witch?"

"Braixen."

"Oh."

Hikaru shook her head. "Let's get back to the main point here. We need to get to Pikachu, fast." She said as she picked up the tablet. "That smoke will start to burn over time, and with him unable to generate electricity right now, we need to be fast."

"They said he was close to Alpha Town, right?" Mavis spoke. "How are we gonna get there? It'll take days to get there. Even by plane."

"I can teleport us there." Aaliyah said, holding up a bracelet on her other paw. "But I can only bring one other person with me."

"Then let me take the other."

Surprised, the three looked over to see Nicole walking up to them with Ashley and Fosuko.

Aaliyah spoke "How long have you-"

"Hikaru is loud. We heard everything in the past five minutes." Nicole said. Hikaru blushed in embarrassment. "I know how to stop the smoking. This happened a lot when he was little."

"But what about Mara? No doubt she'll be a problem." Mavis said.

"I have a plan for her." Aaliyah replied. "But trust me, it won't be pretty. Here's how it'll go."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uhh, Pikachu, I don't want to warn you, but..."

"The smoke? Yeah, I know. Rare condition."

"Well, can you stop it?"

"I don't have the patches, so no."

"Well can you at least slow down. You're getting too hot. And you have a ten mile lead on Mara as well, you can afford to lose some time."

Pikachu slowed his pace. The smoke from his cheeks were getting smaller, but not gone. "How are you holding up?"

"I should be asking you that." Pegasus replied.

"Well, we both share pain, right? I know you aren't doing well either."

"You're damn right about that. I have a headache and I feel like I'm in an oven."

"Well, just be aware that the smoke will only get hotter. Also, I might die soon."

"W-What?"

"The smoke will get so hot it'll start melting the insides of my body. So if I die-"

"No."

Pikachu stopped. "What?"

"No! I'm not letting you die on me!" Inside her realm, Pegasus formed an outline of Pikachu's body. It was almost like a control panel. "I can cool the temperature of your body. All I need to do is-" Pegasus tried, but something was blocking her controls. "DAMMIT! I can't do anything unless I have my Silver Stars."

"Silver Stars?"

"They're things that allow my to connect directly to my users body. If I still had them I could cool you down, but your grandfather hid them away."

"Manectric..." Pikachu muttered to himself. His ears shot up. "Wait, what do they look like?"

"They're silver rings with a blue gem on it. It's the same color as my mane."

"Hold on..." Pikachu saw his house in the distance. He quickly dashed towards it. He stopped at the door. Instead of getting his key, which he didn't have, he kicked the door open with his foot. Unfortunately he was still weak and injured.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Why did I do that?!"

"I don't know! Now my leg hurts!"

Grunting, Pikachu walked in. He went into a hall and saw the attic door on the celling. It's string hanging low. He pulled the string and the ladder came down. He climbed up. The attic was as clean as an attic could be. There were boxes everywhere, but it was still organized.

"You said my grandfather hid them, right?"

"Yeah? Why?"

Pikachu went over to a small box and opened it. Inside was Pegasus's four Silver Stars. Pegasus couldn't believe it.

"H-How did you find them?"

"I saw it. I saw Manectric hid them in a storage closet in the castle. I remember he was talking about hiding them from you, how he wanted to be in more control than you. It made me mad that he took something from you and wanted to use your power for himself. So I took them, hoping one day I could meet you and return. And now..." Pikachu picked up the four Silver Stars. "I have a chance to return them."

"Pikachu..." Pegasus paused. "Come to my realm, and make sure the Stars are still in your hands."

Pikachu held the Silver Stars firmly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes. He was in the realm again. Pegasus stood in front of him. He could tell that she was feeling his exhaustion.

"Hey, are you-" Before Pikachu could finish, Pegasus gave him a big hug. Pikachu was stunned, but returned the hug. "O-Oh, hugs are nice."

Pegasus giggled and let go of him. "Ok. This will only work in one way. Are you ready for this?" Pikachu nodded. "Alright. First, you need to put the Silver Stars on each of my hooves." Pikachu nodded again. Pegasus lifted one of her hooves and Pikachu slid the Silver Star on. He did this to the rest of her hooves as well. "Good. Next, kneel down in front of me and hold out your hand." Pikachu did so. Pegasus held his hand with her hoof. "We're both will have to make promises with each other. This will help seal the bond we're gonna make. I'll go first." Pegasus took a deep breath and sighed nervously.

But suddenly, Pikachu's ears and Pegasus's wings rose up in alarm.

"Do you feel that?" Pegasus asked.

Pikachu nodded. "Yeah. Mara is getting close."

"Let's just skip to the last part. Kiss me." Pegasus demanded.

Pikachu blinked. "W-What?"

"Look, I know its weird and cliché, I know. But this is how it's been done in the Pegasus family for eons. And I can't break 'tradition' so I have to do it." Pegasus explained. "We don't have much time. Just do it!"

"O-Ok." Pikachu hesitated at first, but kissed Pegasus on the lips. But nothing happened.

"You need more passion in the kiss." Pegasus told him.

Pikachu kissed her again. But still, nothing happened.

"More. Kiss me like I'm the love of your li-"

Pikachu cut her off by kissing her. Taking Pegasus by surprise. This did the trick, as the two glowed brightly for a few seconds before it died out. The Pegasus constellation appeared on both of their chest and faded inside of them. The two separated, both had a big blush on their faces.

"Sorry." Pikachu apologized.

"N-No, it's fine, I-" Pegasus cut herself off. "We don't have time. We need to hurry." Pegasus turned back to the control panel on Pikachu's body and stopped the smoking on his cheeks. She saw his body temperature returning to normal. "Ok, now that that's fixed." Pegasus slapped Pikachu. Hard. Pikachu instantly left her realm and back into the real world. In shock.

"OW!"

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"

"WHY?!"

"I only meant to do it lightly, I swear! Here, smack me back."

"No! It's fine. We gotta find out what to do about Mara." Pikachu said.

"You're still to weak to fight, so that's out of the question. So we have to defend and run." Pegasus told him.

"But how? I can barely use an attack, and I can't pull up protect either. Even if I could, I can only block one attack before waiting a few minutes to do another one." Pikachu wondered.

"How about this?" Pegasus appeared a shield from the ring on Pikachu's left hand. "I don't know how many attacks it can take, but it should be enough to get away from Mara."

"Cool, but one problem." Pikachu started. "I run on my hands. I can't run with just my legs. How can I defend and run at the same time?"

BANG! BANG! BANG! (Any AJR fans?)

"I know you're there Pikachu! And I know that dumb horse bitch is there too!" Mara screeched from outside.

"Her power just doubled!" Pegasus exclaimed.

"Then let's bounce." Shield in hand. Pikachu ran towards the attic window and smashed through it. He landed on his feet and started running.

"GET BACK HERE!" Mara yelled and shot a Shadow Ball at him. Pikachu blocked it with the shield and continued running. But he noticed a small crack in the shield.

"Uhh, Pegasus?"

"Yeah, not good. She's stronger than I thought."

Pikachu blocked another attack. But it wasn't a Shadow Ball. It was something much stronger. The shield was now cracked in half.

"Forget the shield." Pegasus said. Taking the shield away. "Run!"

Pikachu started to run, but Mara teleported in front of him. Blocking his path. Before Pikachu could move, Mara froze him in place with her dark magic. Pikachu was stuck. He couldn't move, he couldn't even blink.

"You know, it's very RUDE to run away from your wife." Mara growled. "And now you have to be punished for it. But first..." Mara took Pegasus off Pikachu's wrist. "I need to teach this bitch a lesson. Mara walked back a bit. "Thought you could steal my man, huh? I knew you were with him the whole time. I also know that you gods and demons weakest form is this ring form. Even more weak when off your user." Mara raised Pegasus up high.

'NO!' Pikachu thought in his head. He desperately tried to move, but no matter what, he couldn't move.

Mara swung Pegasus down and slammed her on the ground. A rush of pain went through Pikachu's body. It was the worse pain he had ever felt. He could hear Pegasus scream in agony. Mara raised her again.

BAM BAM BAM

Mara slammed her three more times. Each one hurting more and more. Pegasus screamed louder and louder with each hit. Pikachu wanted to scream, but couldn't. He felt blood rushing out of his mouth.

Mara laughed evilly. "Just one more! AND YOU'RE DEAD!" She raised Pegasus up.

"NO!" Somehow, someway, Pikachu broke through her magic and tackled Mara hard. Mara yelped and let go of Pegasus. Pikachu dove for Pegasus and caught her before she hit the ground. His cheeks began to smoke again. Mara grunted and got up and glared angrily at Pikachu.

"Oh, so you wanna hurt your wife huh!? Looks like you're getting an extra punishment!" Mara charged up another attack. Weakly, Pikachu curled himself around the Pegasus's ring. Ready to protect her at all cost. But before Mara could launch her attack. A flash of blue slammed into her. Mara skidded on the ground hard, someone pinning her down as well. When she stopped, she looked at her attack her. There, glaring at her with blood red eyes was Hikaru. Her teeth gritted tightly and her aura flared red. She was shaking with rage.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Hikaru growled. Her claws extended and pierced Mara's skin, making her scream in pain. Hikaru then used a powerful discharge. Mara cried in pain. She pushed Hikaru off of her and got up with an angry glare.

"You're getting the the way of me and MY husband!" Mara yelled.

"He's not your husband!!!" Hikaru shouted.

"Yes he is, and he's coming home with me! HE'S MINE!" Mara said preparing an attack.

"NO YOU'RE NOT!" Hikaru charged towards Mara with Wild Charge. Mara threw her attack, but Hikaru was so close to her they were both blasted away from each other.

While the two brawled, Nicole, Aaliyah, and Mavis ran up to Pikachu to see if he was ok.

"Oh my god, he looks worse. Rowdy!" Nicole said with worry. She put her paws on his cheeks and transferred some of her electricity into his body.

"I'm going to help Hikaru." Mavis said and ran to help Hikaru.

Aaliyah checked all over Rowdy's body, he was covered with more bruises and cuts than he did yesterday. She also noticed Pegasus wasn't on his wrist. "Pikachu, where's Pegasus?"

Shakily, Rowdy gently lifted Pegasus's ring. It was severely damaged and looked close to breaking. Nicole and Aaliyah were horrified.

"M-Mom." Rowdy said with a shaky weak voice. "G-get her... to the... shrine. S-She's not... responding."

"The shrine?" Nicole said confused. She remembered something about a shrine, but her memory was faded.

"The god shrine! When a god is damaged they can recover with the shrine!" Aaliyah spoke.

"Oh yeah, that's right." Before Nicole did anything else, she put two white patches on Pikachu's cheeks. "Aaliyah, look after Rowdy. I'm going to get Pegasus to her shrine. It'll take me a few minutes."

Aaliyah looked confused. "Rowdy? Is that-?"

Nicole nodded. "I'll be back as fast as I can." With that, Nicole teleported away with Pegasus.

Rowdy tried to pick himself up, but he was still too weak.

Aaliyah quickly became worried. "Don't move Pik- Rowdy." Aaliyah noticed Rowdy was looking at the fight between Hikaru, Mavis, and Mara. Hikaru and Mavis were putting up a good fight against Mara, but the silver fox princess was proving to be a challenge for both of them. Not to mention they still haven't fully recovered either.

"E-Eevee," Rowdy groaned out. "You need to help them. Mara is way stronger than we thought."

Aaliyah shook her head. "I'm not leaving you here!"

"I'll be fine. Just go!" He yelled. Aaliyah looked towards the fight, then back to Rowdy.

"Come on, those two won't last for much longer." Cerberus told her. He was right. Hikaru and Mavis looked very tired, while Mara was still ready to fight. Aaliyah made her decision. Activating her Plate Crystal to fighting type, she charged toward Mara while shooting an Aura Sphere at her.

Mara was just able to dodge the Aura Sphere in time, as Aaliyah, Hikaru, and Mavis stood in front of her. Ready to attack. "Three on one doesn't seem fair, does it?" Mara growled. "Did you forget our deal? I help heal him, in return, I have the whole day with him. The days not done yet."

"Trying to kill a god wasn't part of the deal either." Aaliyah glared.

"Do you have any idea what you've done?! You just made things a whole lot worse." Cerberus stated.

"Oh really? How?" Mara sneered.

"At first he was only badly hurt, then we got him to a stable condition, but now... NOW! Now we have him and a goddess on the brink of death!" Cerberus yelled. "Those two share each others pain, and from what I can tell, they just formed a bond, meaning the pain hurts them even more. That also means if one of the dies, the other dies with them!"

Mara's heart stopped. She looked over to him. Rowdy was trying to lift himself off the ground, but failed to do so and collapsed.

"Mavis!" Aaliyah tossed Mavis her teleporting anklet. "Take him back to the castle. Hurry!"

Mavis nodded. She rushed over to Rowdy and teleported away with him. Aaliyah and Hikaru turned their attention Mara. Who was looking down to the ground, her magic gone.

Mara realized what she had done. She nearly murdered him. The man she loved, the man she said was going to be her husband, the only person who could beat Raichu. She nearly killed him.

"I... I-I'm s-sorry." Mara said quietly. Aaliyah and Hikaru were surprised. They weren't expecting that. "Aaliyah..." Aaliyah's ears perked up, that was the first time Mara said her real name. "Dad... he's gonna come after us." Mara shuddered. "I'm only giving you this warning once. Dad... no... Chaos is planning to work with Lucifer. They're both trying to gain more power from the underworld."

"Lucifer?" Hikaru said confused. "Who's that?"

"Raichu..." Mara said. Aaliyah and Hikaru stood frozen. Not saying a word, Mara formed a black sphere and floated it over to Aaliyah. "Give this to Pikachu and the horse. It'll reverse the damage I did." Not saying anything more, Mara teleported away.

Aaliyah and Hikaru stood still. Aaliyah took the black sphere in her paw, carefully observing it.

"Do you think we can trust it?" Hikaru asked.

"Maybe, I'm not sure." Aaliyah said.

"I swear, I feel like the world has something against Rowdy. Look at all the things he's had to deal with." Hikaru stated. "His dad, Umbreon, Mara, the list goes on..."

Aaliyah nodded. "Yeah... I wish there was something we could do-" Aaliyah paused and turned to Hikaru. "Wait, how did you find out about his name?"

"I've been friends with him for years. Of course I know his name. Me and Mavis." Hikaru said. "Really, we haven't been using our real names because it'll allow people to track us down more accurately. And as a fighter, you do not want people knowing your name. 'Cause they will remember it."

"Huh? Interesting."

Aaliyah switch her plate crystal to Psychic and teleported her and Hikaru back to the castle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicole stood in the shrine room in the castle, carefully watching. Pegasus's ring was floating in the middle of a bright light, slowly but surely being repaired. Sitting next to Pegasus was Rowdy, since Mavis brought him back, he had not left her side since. Aaliyah and Hikaru walked up to the entrance of the shrine room. Nicole noticed them and walked over.

"What happened to Mara?" Nicole asked.

"She left, and gave us this." Aaliyah held the black sphere up. "She said this will reverse the damage done to him."

"Well, you can throw that away." Nicole looked at Rowdy. "That holy light is doing good enough. It won't fix him fully, but it's honest work."

"How is he?" Hikaru asked.

"Physically, could be better. But mentally..." Nicole sighed. "Terrible."

The three looked worriedly at Rowdy. He was looking at the ground with a blank stare. Not even moving a muscle.

"I'm surprised he hasn't snapped at this point. I wouldn't be able to handle what he's going through." Hikaru said quietly.

"Yeah, but I can tell he's near his limit. I don't think he can take another incident like this." Nicole said. "It's best we leave him alone right now. He needs time to himself."

The three left the shrine room. When they reached another section of the hallway, they saw Mavis fly by and slam into the wall. The three were all shocked at what they just saw.

"Nicole! Your daughter is crazy!" Mavis exclaimed. She started twitching as well. She was paralyzed.

"Yay! This is fun!"

Three more bolts of lightning flew towards Mavis. She managed to dodge two, but her paralysis stopped her from dodging the third one and was hit point blank. Mavis fell to the ground with swirls in her eyes. The person who shot her, to Aaliyah and Hikaru's surprise, was Ashley, with a silver lightning bold bow in her hands.

"Who gave the baby a bow?!" Hikaru exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah, about that." Nicole said sheepishly. "While you two were gone, we went to the trophy room to see what Rowdy had in there. Turns out it was birthday gifts for both of us. And he got her a bow." While Nicole was talking, Ashley was shooting electric arrows randomly all around as happy as can be. Nicole sighed and shook her head. "She's been wanting one ever since she saw it on a commercial. I didn't want her to get it, so I thought ignoring it for long enough would make her forget about it. But I forgot she has an older brother who never forgets."

"Mommy! Mommy! Can big brother play with us?" Ashley asked excitedly.

Nicole sighed sadly and shook her head, much to Ashley's disappointment. "Sorry honey, but your brother needs time to himself."

Ashley looked down sadly. "Why doesn't big brother play with us anymore? Does he hate playing?"

"No, of course not." Nicole reassured. "He just needs to rest. Once he's feeling better, he'll be playing with us again." Nicole hugged Ashley and patted her back. "Hey, it's our birthday today. How about we celebrate with cake and ice cream."

Ashley smiled brightly. "Yay!" She jumped on Nicole's back excitedly.

Nicole turned to Aaliyah, Hikaru, and the fainted Mavis. "Can you two take her to the medical room? I know those electric attacks she took hurt a lot. Her being a water type and all. And you two need to get checked out as well. You not as bad as Rowdy, but you two aren't exactly in perfect condition either."

"I am not going to a doctor." Hikaru stated. At the same time, her electricity sparked randomly for a few seconds.

"Loose electricity is not a good thing you know?" Nicole said sternly.

Hikaru huffed. "Fine, I'll go..."

"Good. Let's all meet tomorrow in the kitchen to discuss our next plan. "The sooner we prepare, the more ready we'll be." Nicole said.

They all agreed and went their ways.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All was quiet in Tracia Castle, except for the loud screams of a woman that echoed through the halls. To say Mara wasn't surprised by it when she teleported back was an understatement. This was a daily occurrence. A poor maid falling into the clutches of her father, Chaos. He had gotten thousands of maids, and every single one was still there, trapped in the castle. But that didn't surprise Mara, what did surprise her was that none of them ended up with a kid. But that benefitted Chaos more than anything.

Mara didn't have much time to spare. She grabbed a bag and packed all her important things. The last thing she grabbed was her magic book. It had all the spells she can learn.

"Things will be different next time." Mara said to herself. "Next time, I'll make sure Aaliyah suffers, and Rowdy will be mine! Father, you better get her before I do, and you better not erase her memories this time when you get her!"

With one final look at her old home, Mara teleported away. With no intent to ever return.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hello...?"

...

"Hello...?"

...

"Wake up dear..."

Rowdy slowly opened his eyes, he was expecting to wake up in the shrine, but what he saw shocked him. He was in a land of fire! He quickly stood up in shock, not sure of what happened.

'Where am I?' He thought to himself.

"Welcome to hell dear."

Rowdy turned around. Behind him was someone who looked very similar to Pegasus. They had a black coat, with a red and black mane and tail, bright red eyes, and four golden rings around their hooves.

"Pegasus?" He said confused.

"Not quite. I'm Nexia." She greeted. "And you. Are. Finally. Mine!" Nexia walked up to Rowdy and nuzzled under his head. "Oh my~ Even in a weaken state, your power is still strong."

At this point, all Rowdy could do was sigh. There was too much shit going on. "So, are you two related or something?"

"Well, kinda. I'm the hell version of Pegasus. A succubus instead of a goddess. A female demon." Nexia explained. "We aren't sisters, but we share similarities." Nexia checked around Rowdy and noticed his dead tail. It was turning black and was close to rotting. "Oh dear, you'd think Pegasus would take better care of her 'honeybun'." Nexia formed up a control panel of Rowdy's body, just like Pegasus did before. She messed around with it for a bit before closing it. "There, that should stop the rotting. Can't do much else though. You can't fix something that's dead."

"Ok, I'm confused, why and what am I doing here?" Rowdy asked.

"Simple. I'm gonna be your succubus." Nexia said. "Just like how Pegasus is your goddess."

Rowdy sighed. "There's gonna be something crazy that's gonna happen to me, right?"

"Actually, quite the opposite." Nexia stated. Rowdy looked at her surprised. "With me around, you'll have extra protection."

"Protection from what?" Rowdy asked.

"You know that gods and goddesses can date, right?" Rowdy nodded. "Well, the rule for them is that they can only date other gods and goddesses. We demons and succubus don't have that rule. But our way of dating works differently. We're attracted to power. The goddesses and succubus always fight over the strongest male. But sometimes, there's a change of plans." Nexia wrapped her front legs around Rowdy's neck. "In rare instances, a mortal will show more power than gods. In this case, it's you." Nexia poked Rowdy's nose. "You have tons of power, more than anyone I've ever seen. Goddesses and succubus are bound to go after you when they discover how much power you have. But with me and Pegasus with you, the most powerful goddess and succubus, no one will dare challenge us."

Rowdy was speechless. "Uhh... I... don't know whether to feel flattered or freaked out." Pikachu thought for a moment. "Wait, does that mean Pegasus..."

"Oh yeah, she has the hots for you." Nexia laughed. "But she's too much of a coward to rebel and take her shot. Either way, you're still her 'honeybun'. Oh, that reminds me, I need to think of a pet name for you too." Nexia took a moment to think. "I'll think of one later. Anyway, I have to go, see you in a few hours, or in your case, a few minutes."

"Wait, hold on."

Everything went black.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rowdy woke up with a gasp. He looked around, and saw he was back in the shrine room..

'Was that a dream?' He asked himself. He felt something change on his chest. He looked down and saw that his constellation was different. The top half was blue, while the bottom half was red. 'Nope, not a dream.' The constellation faded from his chest.

Rowdy slowly stood up. He looked over at Pegasus, who's ring was still floating in the holy light. 'I guess she still needs more time to heal.' Rowdy began to leave the room, only for Pegasus's ring to fly in front of him and move around frantically. Rowdy was taken aback. "Uhh, is that you Pegasus?" The ring moved up and down before putting itself on Rowdy's left wrist. And before he knew it, he was back in Pegasus's realm.

"Rowdy! Are you ok? Where does it hurt?!" Pegasus asked as she frantically looked all around Rowdy's body.

"Whoa, whoa, calm down. I should be asking you if you're ok." Rowdy said to her.

"Never mind about me, someone violated you! And I'm gonna may them pay for doing such a sin!" Pegasus said with determination.

"Um, well, I have to ask you something. Do you know who Nexia is?" Rowdy asked.

Pegasus eyes widened as she let out a gasp of horror. She went up to Rowdy and shook him by the shoulders. "Rowdy! Please don't tell my you made a bond with her!?"

"He didn't, but I did it for him."

Rowdy and Pegasus turned to the voice. Standing there was Nexia with a smug look.

Pegasus let go of Rowdy, turned around, and took a deep breath. "Lord, forgive me for what I'm about to do." Pegasus turned back around and looked at Nexia.

"YOU MOTHER FUCKING BITCH!"
