#6 of Sabetha, The Walker of Fate Series


Chapter 5

Turning Point

Warning: The chapter is quite dark, and does contain some lighter ended rape and unwanted 'sexual interaction' (not penetration), though there's NO extreme violence, blood, or such stuff at all.

"What happened?!" Sapphire called out rushing down the alleyway, Frinda at her side. Sabetha slowly rose to her feet turning around to face Sapphire, her face covered in tears.

"T-Tremi! I heard her yell... but all I found was this," Sabetha said holding up the plastic bag with her trembling hand. Sapphire let out a gasp covering her mouth, her eyes locked on Sabetha's face.

"W-Well, she probably fell, or got lost! This is a pretty confusing town," Sapphire said with a reassuring smile. Sabetha hesitated looking down.

"M-Maybe... we should split up and find her, she couldn't have gone far," Sabetha said in a shaky tone wiping her face dry knowing now wasn't the time to get upset. Sapphire nodded her head in agreement turning away.

"Come on Frinny!" Sapphire said rushing off out of the Alley, Frinda quickly following her leaving Sabetha to her thoughts.

"I-I know I heard her here... but she never cries out, or yells from falling, not like that," Sabetha thought clenching the bag up to her chest closing her eyes. "It's my fault! If I didn't lose sight of her, I should have been paying more attention!" Sabetha thought almost about to break down into tears again not knowing what had happened to Tremi. But before she could break down into an emotional wreck, her pants began to vibrate causing her to look down at her belt. "E-Elisa?" she thought reaching down popping out Elisa's Pokeball, releasing her a few feet away.

"Elisa? Are you alright?" Sabetha asked in concern, letting out a shaky breath trying to calm herself down not wanting to upset Elisa.

"Abb!" Elisa cried out staring at her with glossy eyes. Sabetha hesitated looking back.

"I-I can't understand you without Tremi!" Sabetha exclaimed slouching over letting out a deep, shaky sigh. Just then a dangerous thought crossed her mind staring at a tree growing just beyond the fence at the far end of the Alley. "I... Tremi would be furious," Sabetha thought, shaking her head. "I don't care! I... I just know something bad happened to her! I don't care if this entire town turns on me as if I'm a monster, I'll not forsake my sister!" Sabetha thought looking up with fiery eyes rushing past Elisa, stopping at the fence. She let out a shaky sigh. "I don't know what happened, but I just have this feeling something terrible is going on," Sabetha thought closing her eyes, slipping her hands through the wide holes of the fence grabbing hold of the trees trunk.

"Oh... this change was always the weirdest!!" Sabetha cried out as a vortex of wind and leafs engulfed her. Elisa dug her claws into the dirty street sliding back a few feet from the intense winds. After a brief moment, the vortex suddenly vanishing as quickly as it appeared leaving a spinning Sabetha stumbling around trying to regain her balance.

"Phew," Sabetha muttered in a high pitched, squeaky voice holding her face with a hand. Her skin had turned to a light tan color. Small 'sprouts' had grown across her skin, her silky green hair remained but with a curly leaf protruding out from her forehead. Her ears had grown much longer, looking almost as if they were crisp leaves. Sabetha's gaze suddenly locked onto Elisa. "Elisa, tell me what's wrong," Sabetha said in her high pitched voice lowering her hand as the world finally stopped spinning.

"I," Elisa said in a low, uneasy tone peering over her shoulder obviously not feeling comfortable in this area at all. "I heard everything that happened... sort of. Inside those balls, it's really weird... but anyways," Elisa said shaking her head looking up at Sabetha.

"Did you see what happened to Tremi?" Sabetha asked quickly, Elisa shook her head. Sabetha's heart sank.

"B-But... that human," Elisa said in a scared tone having difficulty getting the words out.

"That human? What human? We passed hundreds of them, Elisa," Sabetha said feeling impatient. Elisa suddenly walked forwards nuzzling the bag still in Sabetha's hand.

"The human you got this from," Elisa said stepping back. Sabetha stared down at the bag with her big, brown eyes.

"What... what about him?" She asked in a slow, uneasy tone staring at Elisa.

"...He's one of the bad humans," Elisa said quietly. Sabetha's eyes bulged, an icy flash tingled across her skin remembering the man commenting about Tremi.

"A-Are you certain Elisa?" Sabetha asked crouching down staring at Elisa with fearful eyes. She slowly nodded her head looking to one side with half closed, shame filled eyes.

"...I wouldn't forget his voice... he was one of the human's who I was forced to give service to," Elisa said in a hushed tone. Sabetha stared off blankly.

"B-But... are you certain they would try something?!" Sabetha asked in fear. Elisa looked up at her.

"Yes. They seek rare and exotic Pokemon especially, and Tremi talked in front of him... they wouldn't let such a rare chance leave the town," Elisa said in a shaky tone. Sabetha's hands clenched together slowly rising to her feet.

"That... that bastard," Sabetha growled walking past Elisa, who gasped.

"Wait! You cannot go out into the view of humans, they have eyes everywhere! You will be targeted and taken too!" Elisa said in a fearful tone. Sabetha stopped near the entrance of the alley looking back at Elisa with eyes seething with rage, rage that she had been so... naive to trust without doubt like she had when she was taken all those years ago.

"Let the entire world try and take me, Elisa. My best friend has been taking by a group of monsters... I will NOT let her come to harm. I owe my life to her, and if needed, I will give it up to save her," Sabetha said in a low tone storming out into the city square in plain view. Elisa let out an uneasy whimper looking back over her shoulder, before letting out a shaky sigh chasing after Sabetha.

"Oh my! What is that?" a woman asked staring at Sabetha as she walked by, ignoring the stares and comments she was receiving with Elisa at her side.

"It must be a new advertising mascot! Bravo! Such amazing details it almost looks real!" a plump man exclaimed clapping his hands smiling at Sabetha as she walked by. Sabetha gritted her teeth trying desperately to keep focused and not let her insecurities kick in.

"Humans... they treat you like an outcast when appearing like this, why?" Elisa asked not understanding as the pair turned a corner pushing by a few humans. Sabetha sighed weakly.

"Human's are not tolerant of anything different then themselves, even if I am just like them beyond my appearance," Sabetha said in a quiet, uneasy tone stopping at the corner Grocers staring through the windows at the man in the far back talking with a lady, a sensation of rage boiling inside of her.

"...We're not leaving here until I have answers, Elisa... you don't need to stay out, I know how you feel," Sabetha said glancing down at Elisa.

"N-No... sigh... I can't allow my past to haunt me forever, I can't run away... I would be a poor friend if I did," She said smiling shakily at Sabetha, who smiled back.

"You're right. Running away isn't going to solve anything. You must look at the future, at the can be... let's go," Sabetha in a determined tone pushing the door open, the rattle of chimes rung loudly.

"Welcom-...?" the Grocer called out, his hand in the air as if to wave, but instead he stared at Sabetha with shock seeing her glaring at him with her dark brown eyes. "W-What in the world?!" the man exclaimed taking his spectacles off staring at Sabetha as she approached.

"Welcome?! Is that what you say to all the people you lie and deceive?!" Sabetha shouted grabbing the man by the collar, violently lifting him into the air causing nearby customers to cry out in shock rushing out of the shop.

"W-What?!" the man gasped in shock hanging over the counter staring at Sabetha with wide, fear filled eyes.

"You're one of those filthy monsters who works at this Pokemon sex trade, right?!" Sabetha shouted angrily.

"N-No! I am a simple Grocer, that's it!" the man pleaded with a terrified look on his face. Sabetha glared at him knowing he was lying seeing a profuse sweat on his forehead upon mentioning that. Sabetha suddenly yanked him forwards dropping him onto the ground. Elisa stepped back cowering fearfully.

"T-That's him," Elisa whimpered fearfully as the man stared at her with wide eyes.

"W-What?! You escaped and were supposed to be dead!" the man exclaimed seemingly surprised to see Elisa still alive. Sabetha completely lost it.

"You piece of trash! How dare you say that to her!!" Sabetha shouted reaching down grabbing the man by his collar, literally hoisting him off the ground throwing him clear over her shoulders sending him smashing into the shelves on the far side of the shop, falling to the floor groaning in pain. Elisa stared at Sabetha with wide, shocked eyes that she would react so harshly to such a comment.

"You are filth lower then any human, Pokemon, or even the dirt on my SHOES!" Sabetha shouted storming across the store towards him. The man coughed loudly, slowly sitting up resting himself up against the wall, his spectacles crooked on his nose. "Now tell me where these people took Tremi, or so help me I'll do this world a favor and remove you for good," Sabetha said glaring down at him holding out her left arm, a sharp razor like leaf was on her wrist. The man's eyes widened in fear, looking up at her.

"T-The park!" he exclaimed raising his hands up to shield himself, "t-there's a large section of bushes directly north of the Fountain in the park! T-The entrance is there, it's hidden, but it's there I swear! J-Just please don't kill me!" Sabetha grunted, turning her back to the man.

"I wouldn't stoop as low to kill someone like you... it would make me worse than trash like you," Sabetha said in a cold, harsh tone storming off out of the store, Elisa quickly following her.

"W-What the hell was that...?" the man thought holding his chest panting heavily, his face stricken with fear.

"Sabetha... were you really going to kill him?" Elisa asked looking up at the morphed girl as they made their way towards the park after reading a sign.

"H-Hahahaha, no... I was just really upset how he talked about you as if you were something to be thrown away, as if garbage," Sabetha said with a weak smile ignoring the whispers from the crowd forming behind her.

"But... I am disposable," Elisa said quietly looking down at the ground as she walked. "I was born only for one purpose, I am useless if I don't service that purpose," Elisa said in a low, depressed tone.

"Well, did you enjoy it while there?" Sabetha asked. Elisa's eyes widened slightly, shaking her head.

"Then there you go! That wasn't your purpose in life. Everyone is destined to do something in their lives, and when you find it, you'll feel an undeniable happiness for it," Sabetha said encouraging Elisa, stopping at the entrance of a vibrant forested park.

"You! Stop right there!" a commanding voice called out causing the pair to turn around.

"Who is that?" Sabetha whispered staring at a woman dressed in blue pushing her way through the crowd forcefully. Elisa hesitated stepping back.

"T-That's the Warden of the town, I heard the bad humans insulting how stupid she is even showing pictures to us as if to mock her," Elisa said in a spiteful tone with a frown on her face.

"You. What are you?" the woman asked pointing at Sabetha with a finger less then an inch away from her eyes. Sabetha frowned.

"That's a rather rude tone," Sabetha said staring at the woman, who stared at Sabetha with surprise half expecting her not to be able to talk.

"Your appearance is causing a possibly destructive, and intrusive gathering of citizens. If this is a disguise, please remove it, you are violating the law by causing such an up rise," the woman said sternly continuing to point at Sabetha with a slightly arched forward posture. Sabetha gritted her teeth closing her eyes.

"Why?! Why am I treated like a monster, a freak just because I look different?! Do I not speak like you all?! Do I not feel pain and compassion like any of you?!" Sabetha shouted causing the crowd that had formed to back away from her outburst, she panted heavily. The Warden's expression had faded into a sympathetic one, her finger lowering down.

"I never meant you were a monster," she said in much more soft, thoughtful tone staring at Sabetha with a hand on her right hip. "But this is an issue that needs to be resolved none the less," the Warden said glancing over her shoulder at the crowd listening intently.

"There's no time!" Sabetha exclaimed being fearful of Tremi's safety.

~*~ after a few moments of explaining the situation ~*~

"...Yes, I know of this brutish gang of thugs. I have heard many rumors of them residing in this very town, but there has never been any evidence found to prove such claims."

"I know where they are! She is one of the Pokemon who was held at their lair," Sabetha said pointing down at Elisa. The Warden stared at Sabetha as if sizing her up, a skeptical look on her face.

"You claim to be able to talk with Pokemon?" The Warden asked, Sabetha flinched.

"That doesn't matter now! My friend may have been taken by them, will you help?" Sabetha asked in a pleading tone. The Woman smirked.

"My name isn't 'you', it's Warden Officer Jennifer," Jennifer said proudly.

"Then Ms. Jennifer, please! There hideout is in this park, to the north of a fountain deep in some bushes! I was just on my way to confirm this," Sabetha said pointing back at the Park. Jennifer sighed, shaking her head.

"No. If this truly is the hideout of the nefarious Black Maw Gang, you as civilians cannot be allowed near it. You could be severely harmed, or worse," Jennifer said in a stern tone staring at Sabetha, who looked down silently.

"I won't leave my friend in that hellish place!!" Sabetha shouted turning around breaking out into an incredibly quick sprint. Elisa gasped, scrambling to chase after her.

"Wait!" Jennifer called out, but Sabetha ignored her and disappeared into the thick brush. "Damnit!" Jennifer snapped with a worried look on her face turning around. "Alright, alright! Shows over, all of you, back to your business! If this crowd isn't gone in two minutes I'll arrest those left as peace disturbers!" she called out trying to disperse the mob looking over her shoulder in concern.

"How long will you stay like this for?" Elisa asked ducking under a low shrub as the pair trudged through the dense brush looking for the supposed entrance.

"Anything that is plant life triggers it... anytime I 'touch' stuff like these bushes, it resets the timer on when I actually turn back to normal," Sabetha explained holding a hand over her eyes peering out across the dense forest letting out a hopeless sigh. "But it's going to be impossible to find a darn entrance in this mess! What are we looking for? A ladder to a tree house? A hole? Stairs? A building?! ARGH!" Sabetha grabbing her head in frustration feeling every second she wasted was another second her friend could be suffering.

"Wait... I smell something familiar," Elisa muttered sniffing the air, shuffling off into the bushes.

"Hey! Wait up, I'm not tiny like you!" Sabetha called out, crying out as a branch smacked her in the face sending her crashing to the ground. She whimpered loudly grabbing her nose.

"Yes! It's here, I can smell the stench that lingers inside!" Elisa's voice called out. Sabetha's eyes widened leaping up to her feet pushing through the thick brush with an upraised arm to shield her face, stumbling to a stop in a small clearing of the brush.

"Where?" Sabetha asked watching Elisa circling the area, her nose to the ground. Elisa suddenly leaned down biting hold of the grass below letting out a soft grunt digging her feet into the ground as she pulled back a heavy mat, a flicker of sparks and distorted light lit up on the 'pad' of material.

"What?! A holographic projector?!" Sabetha exclaimed wide eyed in shock having only seen it on TV a few years ago watching Elisa let go of the mat, a barrage of circuits and lights flicker on the underneath of it. A row of thick, heavy looking stairs led down into the ground.

"...These humans are very wealthy because of their exploitation of me and the others who are kept prisoner here," Elisa said in a low, uneasy tone.

"Elisa, if you don't want to come down there with me, I understand," Sabetha said in a reassuring tone. Elisa shook her head staring at Sabetha with a serious look.

"I want to help you. I want to help the others... to stop this. I won't let them get away with what they did to me and the others!" Elisa exclaimed causing Sabetha to smile.

"Thank you Elisa... we'll make sure to right this wrong!" Sabetha exclaimed with a determined look on her face quickly making her way down into the dark recesses of the earth.

"Wow, this is really high-tech," Sabetha muttered looking around a large room made of dark purple metal. Various pieces of furniture and pictures lined the walls. A hall could be seen just off to the left of the room. Six shiny silver doors could be made out in the hall with three doors on each side, small flickering panels beside them.

"T-This is the 'Client Hall'... where we were taken when someone wanted our 'company'," Elisa said in a low, shame filled tone with closed eyes having terrible memories of this place. An angry frown grew across Sabetha's face hearing noise coming from the hall realizing there was something happening at his moment.

"We'll just put an end to these 'clients' then!" Sabetha snapped walking down the hall. Elisa chased after her.

"N-No! Many powerful Trainers and their Pokemon come here to relieve their urges. If we provoke them, we will be defeated very quickly, I was kept very weak so I could not resist," Elisa said looking up at Sabetha with fearful eyes who was staring at the panel of flickering lights. Sabetha frowned seemingly getting annoyed not understanding the complex piece of technology keeping the door shut. "Please, you... you do not wish to see the humiliation we are put through," Elisa said quietly. Sabetha frowned stepping back raising her arm up over her head.

"I want to see the monsters who would make you do such humiliating things in the FIRST PLACE!" Sabetha shouted bringing down the razor sharp leaf on her forearm slashing through the console without effort sending a spray of sparks outwards. Elisa yelped in surprise stumbling back as the door to the first room slid open.

"Hahahaha, that's right my little bunny, suck it nice and slowly, no need to rush," a plump man said laughing in amusement watching a Lopunny between his legs reluctantly sucking him off. He wore a royal purple, silk robe sitting on a rather elegant looking chair beside a massive bed. The walls were a soft pink with gold filigree making a floral design on it. On the far left side of the room was a table with an array of instruments and containers setup for convenient use of the 'client' if they so wished to use them on themselves, or their 'guests'.

"You fat piece of filth!!" Sabetha shouted stepping into the room pointing at the man.

"What?! Who are you! Get the hell out of here damnit!!" the man shouted in a furious rage stumbling to his feet kicking the Lopunny to the ground carelessly. Sabetha growled viciously glancing down at the Lopunny who had crawled away cowering near the bed.

"Damn beast! I'll teach you to disturb ME!" the man shouted in a deep, piggish tone rushing at her with thick, sausage like arms outstretched aiming at Sabetha.

"Beast? At least a beast has dignity!" Sabetha shouted crouching down thrusting her left arm back, lunging forwards impaling her fist into the man's oversized gullet stopping him dead in his tracks, his blood shot eyes shooting out letting out a breathless wheeze, falling to his side being knocked old cold from the powerful blow.

"Don't worry, we're not here to do those bad things to you," Sabetha said crouching down beside the Lopunny, a kind, caring smile on her face. The Lopunny cautiously lowered an arm away from it's head staring at Sabetha with a hesitant look, staring at Sabetha's strange appearance. "I know I look strange, and I know you can understand me... please, trust me," Sabetha said smiling reaching out a hand affectionately running a hand down the Pokemon's head, it's arms lowering now staring at Sabetha with a surprised look, not understanding why she was being so thoughtful. "The exit out of this dark, horrible place is open. Please, escape! There will be good humans there to help you, I promise," Sabetha said rising to her feed helping the Pokemon up.

"...T-Thank you," it said in a high pitched, yet scared tone glancing down at Elisa before quickly running out of the room. Sabetha let out a slow, deep sigh turning around looking down at Elisa with a small frown on her face.

"I can't believe there are people who would do such vile things to Pokemon," Sabetha said in a disgusted tone.

"How... did you," Elisa asked with wide, shocked eyes staring at the man unconscious on the ground.

"Hmph... when I change I get quite a bit stronger physically as well. Though this form isn't one of my strongest, it's still far stronger then I am normally," Sabetha said grinning rolling her wrist feeling a dull pain in it. "But enough of this. One down, many more to go!" Sabetha exclaimed rushing out of the room not going to let this continue any longer.

"AGH!" a young man with short, spiked brown hair cried out as he collided with a wall on the far side of the room.

"Come on! Run for it!" Sabetha exclaimed helping a Chansey to it's feet pointing at the door. It looked at her with surprised eyes, before smiling cheerfully nodding it's egg shaped head, quickly waddling out of the room. "Sigh... and that's the last of them," Sabetha said clapping her hands clean of dirt.

"Y-You... you've shown a compassion no other human ever has for any of us," Elisa said in a shaky tone as if going to break down in tears staring at Sabetha with glossy eyes, her lip trembling. Sabetha giggled at Elisa's expression.

"I'm not a human right now, I'm more of a Pokemon. Just helping my comrades," Sabetha said winking at Elisa stepping out into the hall. A shaky smile grew across Elisa's face wiping her eyes with a paw following after her.

"I'm relieved that Tremi wasn't in one of those cells. She could never do such... indecent acts," Sabetha said feeling uneasy remember the scenes she had just encountered still fresh on her mind.

"There they are!" a voice called out causing the pair to turn around, Sabetha's eyes widened as an icy chill ran through her spine.

"T-That symbol...?!" Sabetha stuttered with horror filled eyes staring at a large golden 'L' on the chest of two men wearing Lucid green uniforms. Uniforms that look identical to that woman in the past.

"You... you are the ones who did this to me... who destroyed my life all those years ago," Sabetha said in a low, dark tone, a shadow had fallen over her face.

"Enough talk, Sneasel, go!" one of the men shouted hurling a Pokeball towards Sabetha and Elisa, a short, clawed Pokemon appeared.

"Snee!" the Pokemon called out raising up a pair of thick, razor sharp claws.

"Unforgivable," Sabetha muttered in a low tone slowly shifting her gaze up staring at them with a look completely unlike her own. A look of pure hatred.

"Sabetha, I will try to stop it, don't worr-?!" Elisa was cut off as she walked towards the Pokemon, Sabetha suddenly zipped past her.

"W-What the hell is that thing doing?!" one of the men shouted in surprise. Sabetha frowned viciously side stepped a slash by the Sneasel, sliding to a stop just behind it, bringing the back of her foot up smashing it into the Pokemon's head sending it tumbling and crashing down the hallway.

"Unforgivable!" Sabetha shouted glaring at the men with eyes filled of hatred and rage for what had been done to her all those years ago.

"D-Damnit! Get another one out!" one of the men shouted reaching out to their side to pull out another Pokeball.

"YOU MONGRELS WILL REGRET EVER MEETING ME!!" Sabetha shouted delivering a powerful uppercut to one of the mens jaws sending them flying backwards down the stairwell they had just came up from.

"A-Ahhh!!" the other man screamed stumbling back, before leaping down the stairwell to escape. Sabetha's breathing began to grow heavier and heavier as she suddenly reached up grabbing hold of her head.

"S-Sabetha, what's wrong?" Elisa asked in a shaky tone stepping up to beside her, but Sabetha stared off with unfocused eyes, sweat dripping down her forehead.

"They are the one's who did this... that symbol... that woman had it... talking about how she will turn me into a Pokemon, exploiting my childish dreams... deceiving me with that fake smile...!" Sabetha said her breathing becoming quick and shallow, "AND TWISTED MY CHILDISH DREAMS INTO A NIGHTMARE!!!" Sabetha smashed her fist into the metal wall nearby forming a dent on it. Elisa literally jumped into the air, backing away in fear from Sabetha.

"S-Sabetha! Please stop this... you're not acting like yourself!" Elisa pleaded in a terrified tone. Sabetha froze in place, glancing over her shoulder at Elisa seeing how scared she was. Sabetha let out a deep, shaky sigh looking on ahead.

"...I won't hurt you, Elisa," Sabetha whispered and without another word, descended the stairwell ahead. Elisa stared at the stairwell with wide, concerned eyes.

"What... what just happened?" She thought.

"Where could Tremi be?!" Sabetha thought looking around a very wide room. There was a few entrances along the walls, but nothing of note in the room beyond the checker board colored tiles lining the floor. "What... what if she wasn't taken by them? What if someone else took her? Or if she really did just fall down, and is out there with Sapphire right now," Sabetha thought feeling a deep unease at that thought letting out a shaky sigh as she stepped out onto the strange floor.

"Sabetha, wait!" Elisa called out quickly descending the stairs the best she could finding it rather difficulty with four legs, but she was too late as a bright light lit up on the tile under Sabetha's foot, a square bubble of light suddenly wrapping itself around the girl trapping her.

"W-What in the?!" Sabetha cried out sitting up smacking a fist against the strange barrier of light causing a sound very much like waving a sheet of metal.

"It's a security measure to stop us from escaping... you need to walk on the black tiles only, or it triggers this... thing," Elisa muttered poking the strange cage with a claw, a curious look on her face.

"Well, how do I get out?!" Sabetha exclaimed getting very frustrated being trapped like a rat. Elisa looked around cautiously raising a claw to her lips.

"Shh! You'll draw the guards if you be too loud," she said warningly. Sabetha flinched, falling back onto her butt crossing her arms grumbling angrily. "I think there's a control panel somewhere to deactivate this. I'll go check, keep quiet!" Elisa said holding a claw up to her lips again, Sabetha glared at her.

"Stop being cheeky and go!" Sabetha snapped staring at Elisa with squinted eyes. Elisa grinned as she turned around running off into a nearby room.

~*~ A couple of minutes pass...~*~

"Great, stuck in a bubble... not how I thought I would end up," Sabetha grumbled with her head propped up in her hand leaning to one side.

"Oh, and who do we have here?" a soft, feminine voice asked, the sound of something clanking across the tiles echoed out causing Sabetha to look back quickly.

"Who are you?!" Sabetha asked seeing a woman in a white lab coat crouched down at the far side of the strange cell. Her hair was a lime green with a thick double-braided ponytail similar to Sabetha's, but much longer reach down near her waist. The woman stared at Sabetha with a pair of amber eyes, a small smile on her face. A pair of stylish glasses adorned her face.

"Who am I? I believe I asked first," the woman said holding up the back of her hand to her face snickering. The woman leaned in closer adjusting her glasses looking Sabetha over curiously only getting a cold, nasty glare from Sabetha. "Hmmm... I believe my inquiry actually meant what were you, rather than who you are," the woman said with impressed eyes. "Hmph. Well, I could always ask your little friend," the woman said with a devious smirk pulling out a small remote hitting a button. Sabetha's eyes widened in horror seeing Elisa float into the room from a doorway nearby trapped in a sphere like cell growling angrily glancing around.

"Elisa!" Sabetha gasped pressing her face up against the cell wide eyed in shock.

"Hmph. You two were fools to invade this facility. I am rather impressed you managed to find it even with the help of our escapee here," the woman said smiling at Elisa, who growled at her exposing her fangs, the woman chuckled in amusement.

"However, your little adventure through our facility has caused quite a deal of damage. Attacking clients, destruction of very expensive equipment, even allowing some of our products to escape. We pay a very large sum of money and time training them, you do know," the woman said calmly staring at Sabetha.

"You're a sick monster!" Sabetha shouted angrily hitting the barrier to no avail. An amused smirk grew across the woman's face.

"And you my strange little friend will be replacing the products we lost," the woman said in an amused tone.

"Like hell you are! I'll die before I let that happen!" Sabetha shouted falling onto her back, slamming her feet violently into the barrier trying to break it, but still caused no noticeable damage.

"Humph. We shall see about that," the woman said with an amused grin crouched down staring at Sabetha eye to eye. "Though you are a very unique case... you can speak so clearly in human dialect, yet you appear mostly of that of a Pokemon," the woman muttered looking Sabetha over. Sabetha frowned angrily smashing her fist up against the barrier causing the woman to step back, an annoyed frown on her face. "And very disobedient it seems. You will require very intensive re-educating it would seem," the woman said jotting down something on the clipboard she held in one hand standing up properly. "But for now, let's go take a visit to the boss, hmm? I'm certain he will be very excited to meet you," the woman said snapping her fingers. Sabetha gasped in surprise falling back onto her rump as the tile she was on suddenly floated off the floor, following the woman as she led them towards a wide, brightly lit hallway.

"W-What?! What are you people doing to them?!" Sabetha cried out with wide, horrified eyes. Along both sides of the hall were clear 'cells'. Various men, woman, and Pokemon occupied each engaged in various sexual activities. Sabetha stared at a Clefairy who was crying loudly as a man forcefully penetrated it. "YOU ARE SICK MONSTERS!!!!!" Sabetha screamed in burst out of disgust and rage violently smashing at the cage with all her strength.

"Humph. Business my dear. Our clients do not want unruly, inexperienced products. We put each of our products through intense training to teach obedience, as well as provide optimal knowledge in how to perform dozens of acts that our clients will request of them," the woman said calmly leading the pair down the hall, the sound of her high heels clacking off the smooth tiled floor the only sound that could be heard, the cells were shut by barriers very much similar to the one Sabetha was now trapped in allowing none of the anguish filled cries to escape.

"Please excuse me for a moment." the woman said as they stopped at pair of massive steel colored doors. The woman walked over to a small white door on the left side of the wall, sliding a card into a slot pulling the door open, disappearing inside. A moment later, the heavy metal doors began to groan and whine as they slowly began to part revealing a brightly lit chamber just beyond.

From what Elisa and Sabetha could make out, the walls of the chamber were a deep, dark wood glossy wood from the middle down, while everything above was a deep jade wallpaper. A thick, vibrant red carpet covered the entire floor of the chamber, a small brick fireplace crackled silent to the left side of the room. A table and couch sat across from the fireplace, with a massive desk at the very far end of the rectangular room.

"Come on, Angetha. You said you had something important to show me, so out with it!" a masculine voice called out from a chair that had it's back to the pair. Elisa and Sabetha jolted back as the cells they were in began to move forwards from the woman using a remote to guide it in.

"What in the...?" a man wearing black shades muttered watching Sabetha float into the room. A toothpick hung from the corner of his mouth loosely. His hair was pure black styled black with a glossy glint to it. He had on a white and black striped suit. The man rose to his feet lowering his glasses revealing a pair of hazel eyes as he stared at Sabetha. "Hohh...? I've been in this here business for twenty years, and let me tell you my little friend, I've never seen something like you before," the man said in a cool, stylish tone with an amused grin on his face walking around the desk, stopping so he stood over Sabetha rolling the toothpick to the other side of his mouth. Sabetha didn't dignify him with a reply, only giving him a nasty look.

"Well ain't this our lucky day. First we bag a talking Pokemon, now something that damn well near looks like something in between a Pokemon and us! Hahahaha!" the man said laughing in an amused tone.

"Talking Pokemon...? TREMI!!" Sabetha shouted in horror realizing who he meant. The man jumped in surprise reaching up pulling his shades off staring at Sabetha.

"The damn thing can talk too?!" the man asked in shock, a wide, dark grin appearing across his face. Angetha the high heeled woman grinned with a smug, proud look on her face.

"Yes sir. These are the intruders who were causing the disruption. I thought you would be rather interested to see them before I took them off for their 'replacement training'," the woman said with a dark grin on her face staring at Sabetha with slitted eyes.

"Hahaha! Excellent work. Not only did we nab one specialty product, but two! What are the odds, we'll make gobs of dough with them!" the man exclaimed with a wide grin at Sabetha.

"If you've done anything to Tremi, I swear I'll," Sabetha said glaring at him with vicious glint in her eyes. The man crouched down in front of Sabetha grinning at her.

"So you know that Gardevoir, eh? Nah. Not in the business of damaging such specialty property. I was just going to have a little fun with her before I sent her off for her training," the man said closing his eyes chuckling rising to his feet, turning around to face his desk pressing a button it. The far left wall suddenly began to shift slowly turning around revealing Tremi hanging listlessly from the wall. Sabetha's heart stopped.

"Tremi!!" Sabetha cried out smacking a fist against the barrier. Tremi jolted slightly, her eyes slowly beginning to open.

"S... Sabetha?" Tremi muttered shaking her head, her eyes opening fully looking down at Sabetha with a fearful look in her eyes, "Sabetha, why would you follow me? They will do far worse to you!" Tremi exclaimed in a very upset tone. The man grinned sinisterly looking at the woman.

"Put this one up with her 'friend'," the man said nodding at Sabetha.

"As you wish," Angetha said pressing a button on the remote, the barrier around Sabetha flickered, before vanishing.

"Bad MOVE!!" Sabetha shouted turning and lunging at the woman about to knock her block off. The woman grinned evilly hitting another button causing Sabetha to stop dead in the air, crying out in surprise as she suddenly was yanked backwards by an unseen force slamming violently against the panel beside Tremi letting out a cry of pain.

"Hm hm hm... do you think I would allow a disobedient product to actually be free?" the woman asked with a teasing grin on her face, glancing down at Elisa.

"And this one?" Angetha asked staring at Elisa. The man grunted in disgust turning his back to the pair.

"Leave it here. I'll take care of it," the man said in a gruff tone.

"As you wish, sir. Then I will take my leave. I look forward to educating the mouthy one, I will see to it myself," the woman said throwing a sly grin at Sabetha before turning away, her high heels clacking along the floor as she disappeared out of the room.

"Sabetha, why did you come?" Tremi asked in a quiet, weak tone. Sabetha grunted loudly struggling to break free of the unseen force.

"I don't care how notorious these people are, or what could happen to me... I won't let my sister suffer!" Sabetha exclaimed struggling wildly to no avail. Tremi's eyes widened silently staring at Sabetha beside her.

"Hmph. You're that Absol that somehow managed to escape. That god damn cloaked figure who keeps requesting you specifically for your 'talents' must have had something to do with it," the man muttered with a frown glaring at Elisa who was cowering in fear, obviously terrified of this man.

"Leave her alone!" Sabetha shouted causing an annoyed frown to appear on the man's face as he looked over at Sabetha.

"What I do with this PRODUCT is not of your concern!" the man shouted booting the ball Elisa was in across the room bouncing it off a wall causing Elisa to cry out from the impact.

"Tremi! Can't you use your abilities and break us free?" Sabetha whispered glancing over at Tremi.

"No, this field does not only hold us in place but it has sealed all of my abilities," Tremi said closing her eyes.

"Tch, damnit," Sabetha muttered feeling completely powerless.

"N-No!" Elisa's voice cried out causing Sabetha and Tremi to look over, the man had grabbed Elisa by the fur on her head dragging her out of the ball forcefully.

"Get up there!" the man demanded dragging Elisa by her fur up to his desk. Elisa let out a quiet, scared whimper obediently jumping up onto the desk. "Did you think coming back here that I would forgive you for your disobedience?!" the man exclaimed loudly forcing Elisa's face down onto the desk walking around to the other side of it yanking Elisa back so her rump was at the edge of the desk. Sabetha's eyes shot open in shock watching the man slowly lower the zipper to his pants. Elisa whimpered in fear.

"W-What are you doing?! Get away from her!" Sabetha shouted causing the man to burst out laughing manically looking over at Sabetha.

"She was bred for this purpose!" he exclaimed pulling out his erect six inch pecker, Sabetha's eyes widened having never seen a males penis before. "Mmm," the man murmured sliding his middle finger into Elisa's slit causing her to let out a loud whimper. "You always were one of my favorites. Always obedient and roaring to go, hahaha!" the man laughed sliding his finger out looking at the glistening liquid on it. He stepped closer grabbing him of his dick rubbing it up against Elisa's opening causing her to bite her lip. "You always were a great, fuck!" the man exclaimed grabbing hold of her hips violently pulling her back stuffing his entire length inside of her. Elisa cried out in a mix of pain and fear, her entire body tensing up to scared to try and resist.

"Stop it!!" Sabetha screamed seeing a trail of tears rolling down Elisa's face. But instead the man laughed in amusement at her protests pulling out of Elisa giving her a violent thrust as if to provoke Sabetha.

"Oh yea! That's the pussy I remember, tight, warm, and so easy to get in! You're even whimpering like a little whore hahaha!" the man laughed hearing Elisa reluctantly whimpering from the violation as he thrust his dick into her as deep and hard as he could using her fur to hold on giving no regard to her well being.

"Oh, oh...! Here it comes, time... to be honored...!" the man grunted clenching his eyes shut picking up his speed into Elisa, before giving her one final violent thrust. Elisa threw her head back letting out a weak howl feeling the man's cum shoot deep into her womb, she fell onto her belly panting heavily. "Mmmhmhmhm... don't you two worry, I got plenty more 'honor' left to give both of you," the man said grinning perversely at Tremi and Sabetha, wiping his dick on Elisa's fur before zipping his pants back up.

"Elisa," Sabetha thought nearly in tears unable to understand the emotional pain Elisa must be going through right now.

"Mmm... and what are you? Pokemon? Or Human? That is the question," the man muttered stopping in front of Sabetha staring at her from behind his shades with a grin on face. Sabetha grunted loudly trying desperately to kick him square in the jewels, but she could barely move a muscle let alone break free.

"If I get off this wall, I'll show you!" Sabetha growled causing the man to laugh softly.

"Mmm, tempting offer. I'd very much like to see what you would do to me," he said winking at her letting out a deep laugh. "But I think I'll see for myself. So let's take a peek at whether you're a human, or Pokemon... here!" the man exclaimed reaching up both hands and without warning yanked Sabetha's loose shirt down off her shoulders, her bra coming along with it. Sabetha cried out in embarrassment squirming wildly trying to cover her exposed mounds, only able to look away in embarrassment and shame.

"Stop, please... I will not resist, do this to me instead," Tremi pleaded causing the man to look at her with a grin.

"Sorry, it's tempting, but these beautiful mounds are singing to me, I'm ensnared by their beautiful song," the man said with a grin staring at Sabetha's tan colored mounds, her dark brown nipples sat slightly below the middle of the smaller size breasts. The man smirked reaching up a hand grabbing hold of a sprout growing along the side of her breast, Sabetha gritted her teeth tensing up.

"Hahahaha! You really should trim yourself, it's not very lady like to have a jungle growing on you!" the man said laughing in a cruel tone suddenly grabbing hold of her left breast. Sabetha winced from the strange sensation continuing to look to one side.

"You enjoyed that little scene with that bitch, eh?" the man asked grabbing holding of Sabetha's other nipple with was fully erect giving it a twist. Sabetha whimpered quietly in pain.

"Please, stop this," Tremi begged watching on helplessly causing the man to let out an irritated sigh glaring at Tremi from the corner of his shades.

"If you don't shut your damn hole, I'll make sure she's fucking raped in ways you can't even imagine possible," he said in a cruel tone. Tremi's eyes widened fearfully, she looked down silently with half closed eyes.

"Heh, good idea," the man said looking back at Sabetha's breasts. "Well then, let's have a little taste shall we?" the man said with a grin. Sabetha's eyes shot open looking down at him fearfully.

"W-What? No!" Sabetha pleaded, letting out a sharp gasp as the man slid his rough tongue up the bottom of her breast running it over her nipple until reaching the top taking a flavorful taste.

"Hah! It has a spearmint taste to it. That's a perk for your future clients," the man said grinning widely. Sabetha glanced down at the man watching him. She let out a sharp gasp closing her eyes tightly as he leaned down open mouth sucking on her breast flicking at her erect nipple with his tongue making sure to use his free hand to grope and fondle her other breast. Her entire body trembled and tingled from the sensation even if she didn't want it to.

"Ack! N-Not there!" Sabetha cried out in embarrassment feeling a finger rub against her slit through her pants, she quivered from the sensation. He stepped back with an ear to ear grin on his face.

"Don't worry, we'll do this nice and slow, it's all the funner if you have fun too, hearing little sluts like you moan and beg for more is just such a fucking turn on," the man said laughing perversely. Sabetha tightened her legs the best she could trying desperately to not cry out as the man forcefully slid his hand down the front of her pants rubbing a finger up against a crisp 'leaf' that formed the lips of her Vagina. Her mind began to wander realizing how hopeless this was, how bad things were.

"Mmm! Your tits are just so damn tasty, I could such on 'em all day long, hahaha!" the man laughed delivering a quick, slobbery lick to her erect nipple. Sabetha didn't react fighting her body to deny him the response he seeked. "Heh. Going to try and resist? Won't work bitch, I've broken thousands of you 'tough nuts' over the years of my career," he said with a grin leaning in licking her neck, Sabetha remained looking to one side with closed eyes not letting out a sound. She suddenly let out a sharp gasp feeling the man's finger begin to part her sensitive slit. "Hahahaha, Willing and overly sensitive. Such a wonderful combo!" the man exclaimed kissing her neck sliding his finger an inch into Sabetha's flesh causing her to let out a loud whimper.

"I-I can't stop these feelings of pleasure even though I don't want this!" Sabetha thought gritting her teeth tightly. Tremi watched on with pain filled eyes unable to do a thing.

"What a unique feel you have down here... how about we take a little peek and see what you look like, hm?" the man asked with a grin grabbing hold of Sabetha's pants.

"N-No! Please, no more!" Sabetha pleaded desperately, but her pleading fell on deaf ears as her pants and panties slowly began to slide down her legs. She quickly clenched her legs together the best she could trying to hide her shame, but the man simply spreading her legs apart being able to move her with ease.

"Oh ho! A man trap! You trick men in with your sweet, delicious tits and when they go for your honeypot, boom! Hahahaha!" the man said laughing loudly staring at a crisp leaf forming the lips of her pussy very much like her tail and ears. He reached out tugging on one of side of the leaf causing Sabetha to let out a cry of pleasure.

"Ho? Such an alluring smell here too... and hearing you whimper and moan is really getting me fired up," the man said with a grin reaching down lowering the zipper to his pants. Both Tremi and Sabetha looked at him with horrified eyes seeing his erect cock pop out. "I wonder do you feel like tree bark inside? Or perhaps like a delicate flower? Hmm... we'll just have to see," the man said grinning widely standing up properly.

"NO! I don't want this! I don't want my first time with a male to be with you!!" Sabetha screamed shaking her head, tears rolling down her face.

"Ohhhh, but it's so alluring, I can't resist," the man muttered with a grin stepping closer so he was pressing up against her rubbing the tip of his length up and down her dew laden pussy. Sabetha closed tightly closed her eyes bracing for the violent humiliation she was about to endure. "Don't worry, I'll make sure I honor you many, many times in the coming years of your service, hahaha!" the man laughed in a loudly, maniacal tone pressing the tip of his length upwards slowly beginning to part Sabetha's leafy slit,

"GET AWAY FROM HER!!!" a voice snarled as the man was sent crashing to his side before being able to penetrate Sabetha. Sabetha opened her eyes looking down gasping in shock seeing Elisa attached to the man's arm with her teeth. "I won't let you violate her like you have me!!" Elisa shouted lunging forwards biting him on the ear viciously causing the man to yell out in pain throwing Elisa off with a violent throw of his arm. Elisa landed a few feet away on her feet growling viciously at the man.

"You fucking little BITCH! I was going to let you come back, but now, NOW YOU FUCKING DIE!!" the man shouted in a fit of rage holding his ear, a trickle of blood leaking down his hand. The man grabbed a heavy iron poker from the fireplace with his free hand glaring at Elisa who didn't even flinch continuing to growl at him.

"I won't let you do as you please to me, or anyone else anymore!" Elisa shouted, the man obviously not understanding taking a swing at Elisa who gracefully lept up avoiding the sweeping blow.

"If you want something done right, DO IT YOURSELF!" the man shouted bringing the poker down at Elisa's head who quickly lept back avoiding the blow. "I created you, and I fucking have the right to destroy you!" the man shouted thrusting the poker at Elisa's face causing her to gasp, barely managing to side step the thrust. She quickly ran at him diving through his legs using her powerful hind legs to kick him in the back of the knees.

"AGH!" the man cried out falling to his knees. "YOU FUCKING LITTLE!!!" the man snarled having lost himself in a fit of rage lowering his bloody hand making a grab at Elisa who sidestepped it, sinking her teeth into his hand causing him to yell out in pain. Just then the heavy metal doors began to groan causing everyone in the room to look up, a wide grin growing across the man's face. "About damn time! You're dead!" the man exclaimed backhanding Elisa across the face causing her to yelp tumbling across the room.

"W-WHAT?!" the man exclaimed in shock expecting guards to be coming to assist him, but instead Warden Office Jennifer and a small squadron of armed Police stormed into the room. "Impossible! How did they... unless... YOU?!" the man shouted looking back at Sabetha grabbing his shades throwing them off to one side. The man used the poker still in his hand to push himself to his feet stumbling back onto his desk.

"Will Gest! You are hereby placed under arrest for larceny, Pokemon cruelty, torture, and running an illegal trade! Your sick, twisted game is over!" Jennifer shouted holding up a piece of paper. Sabetha's eyes lit up, a wide smile growing across her face.

"Tch... damnit... you think you won, but you haven't! We won't stop, we work for an organization far larger then any of you little gnats!" Will shouted slamming his clenched fist down onto a large red button causing a section of the wall behind the desk to suddenly part revealing a seat inside of a capsule. Jennifer stepped forwards.

"Stop right there!" she ordered rushing towards the desk as Will climbed into the capsule glaring at Sabetha.

"You're going to be mine one day, mark my words! Then you'll pay... you'll pay dearly!!!" the man shouted slamming his fist onto a button inside of the capsule causing the doors to close, the ground rumbled as the capsule launched off in an unknown direction.

"Damnit!" Jennifer snapped angrily touching the wall unable to find a way to open it. She let out an annoyed sigh turning around staring at a small console, hitting a button causing Sabetha to gasp falling to the floor as the field deactivated, Tremi landed gracefully beside her in a crouched position.

"T-Thank you," Sabetha said blushing deeply quickly pulling her bra and shirt back into place, hastily pulling her panties and pants back up doing her pants up.

"You're lucky we got here at just this time! I told you not to go running off!" Jennifer said holding up a finger at Sabetha, a small smile growing across the woman's face. "Though... without your dedication to your friend, we may never have found this place and the horrendous torture that had taken place within," Jennifer said in a disgusted tone shaking her head.

"All those involved in this heinous trade have been apprehended beyond Will Gest who managed to escape. The Pokemon held here have been taken to the local Pokecenter where they will be treated for their physical injuries. Though I fear the emotional wounds are going to take much more to heal," Jennifer said closing her eyes, her arms crossed.

"How many of them had golden 'L' symbols on their chests?" Sabetha asked quickly. Jennifer opening her eyes staring at Sabetha for a moment.

"Three. It seems the Black Maw Gang are in league with Team Lucid," Jennifer said glancing over her shoulder at the other officers working nearby.

"Team Lucid...? Is... is that their name?" Sabetha thought remembering that Woman's face from all those years ago.

"Have you had an encounter with them before? If so, do not cross them. They are armed and incredibly dangerous thugs who will think nothing of killing you for interfering with their affairs," Jennifer said giving a word of advice. But before Sabetha could reply, she heard a familiar voice call out in the loud chattering of the crowd causing her heart to stop seeing Sapphire push her way through the police looking at the group.

"Tremi! Where's Sabetha?" Sapphire asked rushing over seeing Tremi. Tremi remained silent glancing at Sabetha standing beside her. Sapphire's eyes shot open realizing the clothing that Sabetha was wearing. Sapphire stumbled back, her eyes wide in disbelief staring at Sabetha who refused to look Sapphire in the eye.

"S... Sabetha? Is... that really you?" Sapphire asked in a slow, shocked tone stepping back. Sabetha looked down without a word spoken, a tense atmosphere forming over the trio.

end of chapter 5

FINALLY! The end of dark, vile empire. But is it truly the end? And how many of you wanted to see Sabetha get raped? ;D You bad!! :)
