Before you read this, you must see the original piece that it was based off of by Doku-8888.
The work is the inspiration and prequel to this continuation and I only hope to expand what I considered a wonderful concept! Hope you enjoy!
Gammit moved silently along the edge of the Mt. Coronet and took a moment to look around before proceeding. The sky was heavy with dark clouds and the wind around the base of the mountain had started to pick up, it was only matter of time until the storm came and Gammit had no intention of being here when it did. He tugged on the hood of his black jacket and pulled it over his head to keep the flurry of leaves flying about from hitting him in the face as he walked.
As he rounded the base of the mountain into a small clearing near the trees he came to a halt.
Blood.
There was lots of blood.
'So the report hadn't been wrong.' He thought to himself looking down at the gruesome scene. Remains of what looked like they might have been Pokemon were spread all across the ground and something that resembled a human corpse was mutilated and laying nearby. Gammit tried hard not to gag while his stomach flipped at the sight. He'd seen humans kill each other, but never like this.
Gammit began down the face of the mountain and walked a bit closer to the scene; it was like something out of a horror movie. Shredded remains of a Togekiss were splayed on the ground amidst its innards, the headless body of a Roserade was decaying slowly to the side, and the scarcely identifiable crisp that was Lucario was slammed up near the trees. All of them seemed to have been eaten on. Gammit once again felt his stomach tighten as he looked to the human corpse.
Cynthia.
He felt the bile rise in his throat but forced it down as he walked over to look at her corpse. It was brutal. Claw marks were etched deep into her stomach and bites littered her body. One of her arms was completely missing and Gammit had to look away before his stomach gave.
'What kind of Pokemon could do something like this?' He thought, his eyes grazing over the scene once more. 'Well at least that confirms the report.' Gammit tugged his Poke-Gear and flipped it to the phone function, the steady ringing subdued by the now howling winds.
"Officer McKormick of Celestic City Police Department; what's the emergency?" A voice on the end of the line said.
"It's Gammit from the dispatch force."
"Ah, Gammit. Anything come up from that report?"
Gammit looked around, holding the phone to his ear. "More than I wanted to see, sir." his voice was shaky and afraid as he realized how dark it was getting.
The line went quiet. "Is it that bad?"
"Yes sir, the Garchomp pointed to this spot on the map and..." He gulped, "There's bodies, sir."
The line shuffled and a few voices discussed something incoherent away from the phone. "Bodies?" The voice asked.
"Yes sir, from what I can tell we have four Pokemon and one human."
"Human?" The voice on the end of the line sounded baffled.
"Yes sir."
"What are the injuries like, or have you not had a chance to look?"
"No sir, I got to see. It looks like she was frozen on the left side and then consumed by something, I don't recognize the bite marks."
The line again went silent. "Christ. Is the storm brewing up there?"
Gammit looked at the sky as the first of the raindrops began to fall. "Yes sir, doesn't look like I'll be making it back to the station before it gets heavy. I think..." He stopped, his heart beat getting a bit quicker at the thought, "I may have to stay in Mt. Coronet through the storm, sir."
The line went quiet yet again. "I don't want you to do that, Gammit. Are you sure you can't make it back?"
The trees began to shake and the rain began to pour, Gammit hunched over to keep the water off of his phone as it washed the blood around him across the ground. "Yes sir, it's starting to pour!" He shouted over the now screaming wind.
"Come again dispatch?" The voice on the phone said.
"I said-!" Suddenly lightning cracked and thunder rolled the wind screamed and the dead body of the Roserade flew into the forest. The phone's connection broke and the entrance to Mt. Coronet stood wide like a gaping mouth.
Gammit hurried inside, away from the scene, away from the rain and quickly took off his jacket, folding it up and sliding it inside of his pack. He could only see a few feet in front of him so his progression for several paces was slow and steady. Finally, he reached down and grabbed one of his Pokeballs.
"I need your help Isin." He murmured and tossed the ball onto the ground.
With a loud crack and hiss the ball shot open and light bounced off the walls of the cave, dark and dripping, as the Luxray yawned and stretched before taking heed of what Gammit was saying.
"Flash." He whispered. Luxray made a loud yelp as its body consumed itself in electrical energy, enough to light the cave.
It was indeed Mt. Coronet, as he had seen it many times before. The whistling of the outlandish storm surged in through the mouth of the cave, but he continued down farther in. Around him were stalagmites and stalactites arcing up out of the ceiling of the cave and the floor, each one dripping with moisture. The sound of Pokemon that normally inhabited the cave, however, was void. There was no noise save the storm and the dripping of water.
Gammit took this strange occurrence as a happening oriented with the storm, but otherwise payed little to no mind of it. His mind drifted to the bodies outside as he walked, they would likely be destroyed by the storm. 'At least Cynthia deserved a proper burial.' He thought, regretting he hadn't taken action to preserve her body for later ceremony.
A loud crack of lighting screamed outside followed by bellowing thunder. Strangely, the thunder never stopped. It was like some form of alien growl was consuming the cave and Gammit looked around to see what was going on. The light from Isin was enough to see several yards ahead and as he looked to its edge he saw the skeletal remains of a Milotic laying near a similar pile of bones.
Standing in that pile was something terrifying. A beast stood there, a dragon similar to a Salamance with huge red and black plates dominating its face. It had only two legs and its wings were massive in size. As it opened its maw, fire crackled along its throat and its eyes gleamed a deep yellow.
This is what had killed Cynthia.
And now it was going to kill Gammit.
Gammit turned and ran, his feet carried him faster than he could have hoped but the sound of booming pursuit echoed behind him. Isin was dashing alongside and slightly ahead of Gammit as they raced for the mouth of the cave, assuming their chances of survival were better in the storm than here.
Suddenly an ear-piercing roar gave out from behind them and heat consumed the air. Isin leapt to the side and Gammit dived for the ground as a fireball flew past them and exploded on the wall of the cave.
Gammit hurried to his feet as he heard the monster behind him growl. Isin was already out of the cave and making worried noises as he watched the scene inside.
The creature swept its tail as it pursued and slammed into the stalagmites littering the floor of the cave. Shrapnel flew and a large piece of rock clipped Gammit in the leg as he rolled yelping in pain.
Gammit gripped his leg, feeling where the bruise was, and struggled to stand as the monster stepped closer. The creature opened its maw and swung down at Gammit, its fangs gleaming as it dealt the finishing blow.
Lighting exploded on the side of the creature's face and it flinched back, whining in pain. Isin was roaring with anger as he grabbed Gammit by the collar and dragged him out of the cave into the tormenting winds of the storm.
The air was sharp on his skin, it burned as it blew by because Gammit had no jacket on. Rain whipped angrily at the trees and the ground was still slick with blood that had been there form the earlier scene. 'A scene this creature caused.' Gammit thought swallowing as the monstrosity stepped into the dim light of the storm. Its face was singed with the mark of lighting and fire and it growled angrily, fire licking at its lips.
Isin's body began to glow as he charged himself. His stance was set on the edge of his paws, ready to move. The creature roared and charged into the clearing, throwing his whole body into the strike.
Isin was ready, he rolled his step to the left and glided underneath the beast's wing. As he passed under, the air crackled with the electricity in Isin's body. The creature felt this and recoiled slightly, roaring.
Gammit stood and yanked two Pokeballs from his belt, the wind throwing the bottom of his shirt up some. "Sin, Metima! I choose you!" He screamed over the wind as the balls hit the ground with an explosion of light.
Stepping out of the light were two large Pokemon, Nidoking and Nidoqueen. Nidoking made a deep bellow that glided over the landscape and shook the ground. It was a match for the beasts own roar and Nidoking only stood as tall as its leg.
The creature roared and steam boiled near its mouth, fire exploded from its jaws and flew forward. Metima stepped in front of Sin, the Nidoking, and crossed her arms. The fire exploded around her and she swung her arms down to her sides, apparently unharmed.
Gammit managed a grin, she had used protect just like they had practiced. Metima was one heck of a Tank.
Metima followed up the exchange with her own roar as Isin took a position beside her making a quick glance at Sin. The monster's gaze shot across them and it looked at ease, being outnumbered didn't scare the beast.
The creature quickly caught a gust of the wind and its wings grabbed onto the breeze, its body lifted into the air.
Isin ran back and away as the beast did this and Sin looked up to the monster and grabbed a large rock, hurling it at the beast. The rock flew by, not hitting, but enough to get the monster's attention.
It's mouth opened and it roared, diving down with its claws extended and mouth exploding with flame.
Sin grabbed another stone and held it forward, Metima helping as he did so with her own strength. The monster's eyes widened as its teeth cracked from the impact with the rock, but it dealt a blow.
Sin stumbled back and clutched his side, growling as blood trickled down, only to be swept away by the water and the storm. Metima, on the other hand, had little more than a scratch where the talon had scraped her and she used that to her advantage.
The creature had begun to sweep back but Metima reached forward and got a grip on its tail, screaming into the storm as she turned around and threw her weight forward. It was enough, with the aid of the sporadic wind, and the monster hit the ground with a loud crash, whimpering.
Then, suddenly, a flash of lighting hit the sky and a bellowing cry of thunder echoed across the mountain side. The creature's eyes went wide. Isin leapt from a peak on the mountain and his body was consumed in lighting as he preformed a Volt Tackle from at least twenty feet up.
Sin ran, letting go of his bleeding side and pinned the struggling monster to the ground by its jaws. He held it tight as lighting, not natural, exploded in the creature's center and sent Gammit and his partners flailing away.
The creature lay dead in the clearing, the wind spraying the blood everywhere. Isin stepped out of the gaping hole in its chest slowly, weakly and hobbled over to Gammit who was unconscious.
Then the footsteps came. Sin and Metima moved closer to Gammit, though Sin's bleeding had worsened, and listened to the patter of feet in large numbers in the forest. It was coming in over the storm.
A creature like some kind of raptor emerged then, cocking its head to the side, and was coated in stripes similar to a Beedrill's, only black and sky blue.
Then it barked a quick report and more filed into the clearing, thrumming with energy. Sin growled a deep roar and Metima's eyes narrowed with ferocity. Isin whimpered weakly as the storm continued and the beasts danced on the edge of the forest.
Suddenly one of the beasts lept on the fallen red dragon and dug into the hard, plate-like skin with sharp, gleaming fangs. More came, quickly and followed suit, tearing at the beast as the Pokemon watched wearily from a distance.
As they gored the monster and had their fill each one barked and filed back into the woods. Sin laid against the rocky face of the mountain with his trainer and Isin as Metima kept watch on the forest. Slowly, but surely, the rain stopped and the sun's light hit the clearing, looking over a bloody mess slathered with water.
Gammit woke slowly, grabbing the back of his head. The pain was intense, but he could stand. As he got up he saw the dead, mauled body of the creature and took a deep breath. His gaze then shifted to his Pokemon, they were alive, but barely. Digging in his pack he got some Full Restores out and did what he could but it would only hold for a few hours before they would need medical attention.
He pulled his Poke-Gear from his pocket, flinching at the sharp pain in his head, and opened it.
The screen was cracked with a deep gash. Gammit stared at it for a moment before looking up at the mountain. Celestic city was on the other side and walking around it would take two hours alone. It was a thirty minute hike through the cave.
He swallowed and returned his Pokemon, stepping towards the mouth of the cave. His head was throbbing and his clothing was nearly shredded, but still he spared a glance to the alien monster behind him. Its body was baking in the clearing and its fearsome aura was gone, but Gammit was still alive.
With silent determination to get help for his friends, he headed into Mt. Coronet and prayed that the beast was one of a kind.
