Ask to Join Pokemon World: Shadows of the Past

Kestrel, scared of Venen, run into the city and let the others do the work. He didn't want to attack other Pokemons. The first thing he had to do was learning how to fight, and he thought that learning in the middle of a battlefield was not the best thing to do. He took notice of Gliscor that was heading there. "Hey! Don't come here, trust me." Said Kestrel, looking to his surroundings in case there were other minions, or, worse, Venen, around. "Look, I don't want to fight, so go away in case you don't want to get hurt."

When she was sure that there were no other minions behind, she entered. She took the communicator and started talking. "We are entering the city right now. There are some defeated Pokemon, but we are trying to find the key, entering the Black Tower and get the generator." She entered the city and noticed a Ninetales hidden. She approached him. "Scared of something, dear?" She said, adjusting her Pamela and the feather it had, and started to eject feromones. Other minions started to approach, but she made a signal for them to stop. This one is mine...
 
Mike had very submissive posture. He layed down and rest his face into the ground. Mike said" I don't want to be a part of the fight. I don't want to hurt anyone. If you are going to hurt me get it over with." He said" I never want to hurt anyone. I won't resist. Do what you want." He then smelled the pheromones and said" You smell nice." He slowly approached Venen and rest his face into her. He said" You smell nice I do anything that isn't directly hurting anyone for you my queen." He then bowed to Venen.
 
Venen laughed a little. "Oh, of course, I'm not going to hurt you, dear, but it would be a pity that anyone can hurt you. Well, look... I am willing to enter into that Tower, but unluckily, somebody has closed the entrance. Do you know who or where can I find it?" Venen said. With one hand on her back, she indicated that she needed one of those Pokeballs that mark used. If there is something funnier that hurting and killing is tricking other Pokemon to get what you want.
 
Mike said" You need in the tower." He then picked up Venen on his back and ran to the tower. He pointed his tails at the lock and a beam of energy shot out of his tails at the entrance. He then telekinetically unlocked and opened the entrance." He said" Anything else my queen? Any other doors I need to unlock? Anyone I need to hypnotize. As long as it isn't hurting anyone I can do it." He started to rub his soft tails against Venen."
 
"I think not." Just wait here and don't let anyone enter." She said, whistling. A Machamp and some of the Unovan Salandits that always followed her entered. "Don't worry, she said. "They come with me." Other minions stayed at the entrance, protecting it too. Once Venen was on the inside, she started asking for things. "Take as many pieces as you can." Venen said as she started to inspect the bigger human machines. Once she was in front of the generator, he called the Machamp and ordered him to take it. "Now let's secure a gateway. She took the communicator and talked again. "We got it! We are heading to the base now!" Venen said, advancing to the entrance. She used Flamethrower in order to defeat, or at least, to push back, some of the local Pokemon. "It's over. We got what we wanted. Let's return to the base." Then, she approached to Mike. "You know? You are too obedient just to stay here. So..." Venen took out the Pokeball and throw it at him. "You come with me, and with no reproaches. We'll talk in our base..." She said, exhausted after using most of her pheromones.
 
Mark picked up the Walkie Talkie and pressed the button. "That's great." Mark said. "We need two, so you better have two, or else we aren't able to finish the machine. Also, they will have even tighter defenses if we go again." Mark was working on improving the Time Machine more, while they were gone.
 
Mike stayed in the pokeballs. He didn't make any effort to come out of the pokeball.Anubis and Illusive ran to join Venen. Anubis said" So what all did we get?Did we get what we needed? We figured one of the guards would have a key ,so we went to attack them ,but you already got in and out. Illusive said" How did you get in? Did you get a key?" Did you use any of the jail things?
 
"I'll check one last time, but I think that there were no more generators inside". Venen said, pressing the button of the communicator. Then, she approached Anubis and Illusive. "Don't worry, we had... Some help in here." She said, showing the Pokeball. "It was a great chance, and I think this one can be more useful alive than dead. Anyways, you better return to base, this can be quite... Dangerous." She said, entering again in the Tower and checking one last time if there were no more generators. She took the communicator again. "No... No generators in here. I have to admit that there are machines that I haven't seen in my life."

When Kestrel heard the order, he didn't hesitate. He started to run to the forest again, expecting that the Gliscor followed his advice and went out of the battlefield.
 
Anubis and Illusive returned to base. The two made sure no footprints were left behind. They looked around for something to do. Anubis approached Mark and said" Mommy got to use one of the capture devices on a Pokemon. They work on Pokemon. She told us to go ahead and return. She said that someone inside helped her, so she captured them. I guess she used her pheromones on someone, and they made it easy to get in. Anything we can help with while mommy is not here getting?" Illusive said" whoever helped Mommy got them in really fast. By the time we knocked out one guard and searched it for a key she was already done. That probably means that Pokemon could get in without a key. That might mean that with that Pokemon no lock can slow us down now."
 
Venen went out of the tower, but there were a bunch of local Pokemon waiting outside, waiting to attack her. Luckily, she used Flamethrower, making the other Pokemon to retreat, providing Venen a safe pathway to return to the base. She ran as fast as he could, but some citizens were following her closely. When she reached the forest, she used Flamethrower again and hide in the bushes. The Pokemon stopped and returned to the town. Obviously, for them were more important to save his city from the fire that was slowly approaching there rather than continuing following her. In a couple of hours, she returned all alone to the base. Some of the minions weren't surprised, but most of the Unovan Salandits were happy to see her. She arrived, covered in dust, again. "Ugh, I hate sandstorms." She said, cleaning her pamela and dusting herself off. "Luckily I had the Go-Googles". She went to Mark's room and knocked the door, holding the Pokeball that she used before with the other hands.

Kestrel, on the other hand, stayed close to Illusive and Anubis. For him, they were the only other members of the organization that seemed to be nice. "I have one question, why do you call her mommy? I mean... it is supposed to be your boss, am I wrong?" Kestrel said. Or maybe my knowledge about Pokemon genetics is kinda... Useless.
 
Anubis said" She adopted me. She is a way better parent then my biological parents same with
Illusive. Someone that actually cares about me is so rare. I had to take the opportunity. Even if these Pokemon have hurt innocent Pokemon before I would rather have an evil parent that loves me then a parent fights for good that tortured me. I'm sure Illusive would agree." Mike waited patiently to be let out.
 
Mark opened the door. "So you tried the Pokeball I see." Mark said. "Do whatever. I don't care. I am going to try to locate the next Generator by myself." Mark picked up a bag, with some Pokeballs, and food. "I may not be back for awhile. You are in charge for now, Venen, and do not go in my room, and look at my machine. It is unstable. Also, I am going in alone, because the smallish group before is now looking for you. They think YOU are the leader, so I am going in on a stealth mission." Mark explained walking out of the Sewers, checking his newly added feature on his glasses, a machine detector. He found one in the Virbank Complex area. "Bingo. Whelp, have fun! Also, I swear if you touch a finger on the Rufflet Human guy, I will make sure you will not have a fun time." He threatened. Mark walked out and got on his small paddle boat.
 
"Eh... Whatever..." Said Venen, almost resigned for Mark's strange fixation for the Rufflet. "I don't know why you want him. It's just useless. I had other interest during the mission, but I'm sure that he did nothing, except disturbing me. But as you say. Anyways, if you need help or whatever you just have to contact me. I'll stay here putting order around, but I can always send you some of my best escorts if you need help." Said Venen while he went along with Marcus until he reached his boat.

"Well... If you say that she has adopted you..." Kestrel said. "I mean... When we were in our mission, she had no mercy on you. She hates me because she thinks that I'm crazy. If I'm sincere... I can't blame her. All this story of mine sounds kinda strange."
 
Anubis watched Mark leave. He said" Normally I might be a good choice for a stealth mission, but I cannot carry a generator. I could have made him some disguises before he left. Oh well can we see what you captured mommy. If we are to meet them we should do it before the pheromones wear off so they don't hurt us." Illusive said" Did they try to fight back when you got near them."
 
Mark was about to go off. "Oh wait. I forgot my motor." He said, going back and dragging his motor to the boat. He turned it on, and the boat started flying across the water, he checked his glasses again to make sure everything was in check, and turned them off.
 
Venen dropped a "Good luck in your journey", and went back to Anubis, Illusive and Kestrel, and then, she laughed a little. "I don't mind. He wouldn't hurt even an Eelektross that was biting his back. We have one of the pacifists here. You know... One of those that think that fighting is useless. Or his morality is... Weird, at least for me." She used the Pokeball and let the Pokemon go out. "Guys, take note of this. This is what happens to Pokemon that don't want to fight and don't mind feel pain for free..." Kestrel just looked the scene, muttered.
 
Mike looked at his surroundings. He layed down next to Venen. He didn't seem to feel threatened. He looked over at Venen. He said" Master is this our home? Did I do well earlier? I'm kinda hungry." Anubis said" Is that the device or the pheromones that did that?" Anubis slowly approached Mike. Mike wrapped his soft tails around Anubis. Anubis said" You are really fluffy." Illusive said" How do you think this Pokemon could be useful to us. He clearly isn't a fighter."
 
Stygian was walking when he came across the entrance to the city "woah...what is this place?" He shouted to get someone's attention "hello!?" He stood there waiting
 
"Eh... I don't know. I think that the effect of the pheromones should be off some minutes after I stopped using them." Venen tried to explain. "Trainers used to use the Pokeballs to catch Pokemon, I think the affection to the trainer had to be worked by the trainer and the Pokemon itself. And I really doubt that you've done something like that." Kestrel continued. Venen was angry with him. She got closer to him with clearly intentions to attack him, but instead, he took him and approached him to her mouth, dropping some toxic smoke. Kestrel started to laugh. "Look, now I'm the one in charge, and I don't want you to respect me, but I'm not gonna allow that you question my authority. You'll do what I say and the first thing I want is that you stop saying stupidities!" She said as she dropped the Rufflet, that was starting to feel quite bad.

"If I'm sincere..." Continued Venen. "I brought him because I supposed that he could be a good slave. Being pacifist, he won't fight, and I thought that instead of killing him, it would be more useful as a servant. I was gonna give him to Markus, but since he is gone..." Venen looked at Mike, with a lusty look. Obviously, she had her Unovan Salandits, but having a personal servant would be completely another level.
"Some of you, accompany this Ninetails to the kitchen and give him some berries. And I suppose that the other should take care of your little friend over there" She said pointing to Kestrel. "I have other things to do..."

A Treecko wearing a helmet found Stygian at the entrance. "You! Identify yourself! We cannot allow more attacks today. If you deny answering, then we'll be forced to attack you as a preventive measure..."
 
"G-gah!" Stygian stumbled back "um,my name is,well,I think,is stygian,I have come seeking shelter!" He looked around "what is this place? From what I remember this place was just a straight road"
 
"Was?" The Treecko asked. "I mean... I don't want to distrust you, though we are kinda in a dangerous situation, so... I should. But I mean that this city, Black City for being specific, has been here since the human times... Anyways, if you want shelter, first you must show that you are not a threaten. We've been attacked and, during the escape of one of their generals, as a distraction, they set the forest on fire. If we don't contain it, the city and all of his citizens will be in a great danger".
 
Mark made it to the Shores of Virbank after awhile. "Alright am here." Mark said to himself. He looked around for any Pokemon. He only saw a couple. He then started walking to Virbank Complex to get the Generator. He checked his Radar. He started looking through some highly vegetated areas, until he found it. He started dragging it back to the Boat.
 
Stygian was slightly nervous "oh,o-ok,what do I do to show you that I'm not a threat?" He looks around while stepping to get a 360 view "some sort of test?" He stretches his arms
 
Ben awoke in the forest. "There was some explosion in the lab and.." Ben said to himself. He looked at his hands. "And I died. I smell smoke." He said sniffing the air. It was a forest fire. He flew up screaming. "Oh yeah. I am a Haunter, I can do ghost stuff. Neat." He looked around to his surroundings. He only saw Pokemon. He flew to the nearby Black City. "Hello fellow Pokemon, where are the humans!" He yelled down to the Pokemon.

Mark was about to board. He put on the Generator, and it sunk. "Shoot." He said to himself getting to back on to the boat. "Looks like we need a bigger boat." He looked at a big Tug Boat nearby in the docks. "There we go." He hauled the Generator on there, and grabbed the motor from the Paddle Boat. He then seat off back to Castelia City. "That was actually simple, no need for death." Mark exclaimed. "Why do you even need to kill people, if you can just stun them, or something." He murdered.
 
Mike hugged Venen. He said" I don't want to leave your presence master." He started to look into Venen's eyes. I want to be ready to serve at any moment. He then said" If you ever need to go anywhere that you are locked out of bring me and I can open it for you master." He smiled happily at Venen. Illusive said" Maybe when you used pheromones to manipulate him into wanting to serve you he hypnotized himself to stay that way. I mean I'm sure if you used a lot on him he would do that. Did you use a lot?"
 
"Because I like it, as simple as that... It makes me feel powerful and superior, and I love it." Venen said. "Anyways, I'm glad you are back. I have to say that there is someone new... I don't think that is going to follow our ideas, but, let's say that I prefer a possible slave more than a dead Pokemon. What's more... It's a Master Key..." Then, she returned to Mike and the rest. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry... I know that you want to stay with me, but I have to do other things to set you here..." then, he answered to Illusive. "Well... The battle was a stressful situation, let's say that I spared no expense..."

The Treecko noticed the Hunter too. "Alright, alright, if you want to stay here, your trial, if that's how you want to say it, will be extinguish or contain the fire, or find some way to avoid it to reach the town. Only then, maybe, we can find you a shelter here, and that's the best way to show us that you are not part of the Ancient Echoes, right?"
 
"Ancient echos? Where have I heard that name before?" He whispered to himself before looking back up at the treecko "alright,I'll do it,just tell me where the fire is and I'll head right over there" his tail was moving back and forth
 
Mike then walked into the kitchen. He quickly ate some berries then ran back to Venen. He said" Anything I can do for you master? I want to make you happy. It fills me with joy to serve you." He then smiled happily at Venen. He said" I never introduced myself. I'm Mike. Though if you want to call me something else I will go by that." Illusive said" Maybe he could carry you places on his back. He looks pretty strong. I bet he could carry you anywhere."
 
Ben though up something that may be true. The destroyed city, and lack of Humans. The Lab accident must have brought me to a Future, where all humans are dead. I need to find a Time Machine or something! Ben thought. He flew down to the Treecko. "Hey." Ben said. "Do you know where I can find some kind of machinery?" He asked.

Mark made it back to Castelia City. "I am back!" Mark yelled. He dragged the Generator down the stairs. "So I suppose everything went well." He said looking around. He saw Mike. "OK, I see the Pokeball, did you catch him." Mark asked. He sniffed the air. "And then do your Perfume thing on him. Pheromones, is what I smell."
 
Stygian looked up at Ben "gah! Who are you!?" Stygian asked,panicking he stumbled backwards on the ground "and where is the fire!?" He shouted at the treecko,he was obviously annoyed

"The fire is over there." The Treecko said, pointing to the right. A huge column of smoke was rising from there. "Just go and help the other locals, and you better be quick." Then, the Treecko approached Ben. "Machinery? Who are you? We don't trust Pokemon that are interested in it. You know... Because we don't know why, but the Ancient Echoes are the ones that are interested in it and they do bad things. Well, you should go and talk with the mayor if you want to take a look to it. It's a Garchomp that you should be able to find in the bar of the main square. He has done quite good, but he easily gets depressed, especially after the last attack, and starts drinking. The Machinery you are looking for is in the Black Tower, but it's forbidden to enter without his permission. Anyways... We would need help with the fire... I'm sure he'll be grateful if you help with it."

"Obvious, isn't it?" Venen said to Mark. "Well... He's a pacifist, so I thought that turning him into something like a slave would be more useful than killing him instantly."Then, she approached to the rest of the group. "Maybe you are right... It's an option after all.At least it would be better than staying here forever, so... Yeah, why not?"

Kestrel slowly stood. he was feeling a little bit dizzy after his little fight with Venen. He coughed a little and decided to go out of the scene. Maybe a little of fresh air should do good for him. He went out of the Castelia Sewers and stood near the sea, looking to the ruins of the city.
 
"ON IT!" Stygian kicked off the ground and flew into the air,gliding towards the column of smoke,in which he could see the flames and different pokemon running away but some trying to hold it back "I'm here to help!" He landed down as a Poliwrath and poliwhirl were pushing back the flames with water gun "hey,what are you gonna do!?" The Poliwrath asked stygian as he then looked around "quick! Cut down the trees,that leaves no fuel for the fire!" Stygian exclaimed as he used ice fang on 1 of the trees to freeze a part of it,then he smashed it and it fell over,when a Conkelldur picked it up and took it away,then the other pokemon helped with removing the trees and eventually "alright,now we have to deal with the fire itself"
 
Mike said" I opened the door for The tower with my psychic abilties for master. I love serving master it makes me happy." He then began to massage Venen's back. He said" Does this feel good master?" Illusive ran over to Mike and smiled. Mike then wrapped Illusive up in his tails next to Anubis. Anubis and Illusive hugged each other. Illusive said" I'm glad you got this slave mommy. They are fluffy and obeident." The two children fell asleep in Mike's tails. Mike said" Those two are adorable. I would gladly let them sleep in my tails whenever they want.
 
"Oh... You are quite good, I have to admit." Venen said, sitting on a small stool. "Oh... And you are sleeping with me, in case I need your services. I mean... In my room. I've prepared a small bed for you." The Unovan Salandits that were watching the scene were feeling jealous of him. For them, even had an opportunity of helping her, or even entering her room was a great achievement. probably they were jealous of Mike at that moment. "Anyways, Mark, what more do you need?"

Kestrel needed to forget about Venen, so he decided to explore the ruins of Castelia City. The skyscrapers, one looking magnificent, were now in a very bad state, yet still, imposing. Some plants have grown in the different floors of the buildings, and there were even lianas covering some of them. The buildings were not suitable for living due to his bad state, so there were not too many Pokemon living around, with the exception fo a few of them, especially Flying Types, that decided to build their nests on the roofs or in some ledges. Despite its lack of inhabitants, it was a very busy place due to his position, with many Pokemon going around normally. All the entrances to the Sewers were almost hidden, so luckily for the Ancient Echoes, they could live safely there. Night was getting close again, yet still, Kestrel decided to continue going around the city.

All the pokemon started throwing rocks and sand while stygian picked up large amounts of dirt,dust and other things to beat the fire while the water pokemon used water to put out the fire,eventually,the fire died out "yes! We did it!" Everyone cheered as stygian kicked off the ground and glided back to the city and landed in front of the treecko "me and the locals managed to put out the fire,it was hard but we did it"
 
His face lighted up with happiness when Venen complimented him. Mike continued to massage Venen. He said" Yes master. As you wish. I live to serve you. If you need to move anything heavy I can levitate it. I could also levitate you if you need to get over a wall or on top of something. I love pleasing master. I would jump in front of any attack heading towards you. I would take you anywhere you wish. He then asked" What do I do with the children? I assume they don't sleep in your room?"
 
"Alright." Mark said. "Everyone go to sleep, it is night. I do not care where you sleep." Mark yawned. "I will give you the plan in the morning." He walked to his room. He then turned around. "Wheres the Human Rufflet guy?" He asked.

Ben flew down to the Treecko. "So, where can I find the Mayor?" Ben asked. "I am sure the Ancient Echoes are bad, telling from the damage here." Ben was looking around.
 
"Of course not, they sleep in the guest room as the rest of the other soldiers with that stupid Rufflet." She tried to locate him, but he was not there. "Eh... Where did he go? Grrr... Always getting in trouble... I should try to bring him here as fast as I can." Venen said, angrily, putting again her pamela and going to the City.

The Treecko congratulated him for his achievement. At the same time, a Dewott appeared. "Hi, my name's Mike, and I'm the local leader of The Swords of Justice here. My commander here, Remini, has informed me about your actuation extinguishing the fire. And, yeah, we are accommodating a room for you on the outskirts, in that black bungalow over there. I just hope that you don't mind sharing it with my troops." He said, pointing to it. "And you... Well, the mayor is at the local bar, in the square. I have to advise that he is a little... Rude, especially when he is... Well, a little drunk. It's a Garchomp, you should recognize him immediately."

Kestrel was in one of the main streets of the city. "I remember being here when I was a child. I've never imagined that these streets, once very busy, could be this silent." At the distance, a Scrafty, a Pupitar and a Lairon saw him. Kestrel couldn't hear what they were saying, but they slowly approached him. "Hey! You, fool! Give us all your berries!" The Lairon said. Kestrel gently said that he had no berries. "Well... In that case... I really like your bandana." The Scrafty said. "But... It's mine... It is very important for me, it's the only thing I had as a memory of the old... My old uncle... A Staravia." The Pokemons laughed. "Like if I care... You can give it to us now or we'll take it by force."
 
Mike went and placed Anubis and Illusive in two of the guest beds. He waited patiently for Venen to get back. He said" I hope master gets back soon. I miss master." He then stared blankly in the direction Venen went. He layed down and rest his head into the floor. He said" The feeling of pleasure from serving master is gone now since she left. I liked that feeling. Is that feeling coming from the smell. The longing to please her." He then sniffed the pheromones lingering on his body. He said" Yes that is the source. The reward for loyalty from it is so .... addictive. I love that feeling."
 
Mark heard the commotion from the streets. "Whelp, he is going to give away our location!" Mark ran outside to the Scrafty, Pupitar, and Larion. "Stop attempting to rob people, this is my turf, and I will be the only one stealing stuff!" Mark threatened.

Ben chuckled. "Dragon types, am I right?" Ben laughed. He then went to the bar. The door was locked. "OK, let me try passing through walls!" Ben said. He flew at the wall, and through it. He looked for a drunk Garchomp. He spotted one, and flew towards him. "Hello sir, may I please go into Black Tower, and get some stuff from it?" Ben asked. "It is very important."
