#1 of Voremon

An adaptation/tribute series based off the "Voremon" game. Starring a simple Umbreon as she travels the world to defeat the Vore Lord's sinister forces. Empowered with the very force that enables the dark forces to enslave the world, can Umbreon control herself?


At one point in time, there came into the world of Pokemon a power. It was dangerous and intense, violent and wanton. In the wrong hands, it would bring ultimate ruin to the entire world. In the right hands, it could make the one who wielded it into the most dangerous Pokemon of all. But...what is this power? Who would wield it? Would the world even survive its unleashing?

This is that story.

VOREMON

"Ohhhhh....uhhhhh....uuuuugh..."

The Umbreon was only aware of the abyss. The dark redness that was holding it fast and steady. It became aware of something outside getting...brighter and brighter...

Outside of where? Where was he?

It was now getting red...and so...so very warm...

"Wh...where am I?" The Umbreon thought inside it's head. It was a mammal-like being with red eyes and fairly long ears with a golden circle insignia on it's head and golden bands on it's ears and tail. "Wh-what happened? How did I get here, it feels so...so warm...and this light is shining through my eyelids. I...I'm too tired to even open my eyes...what should I do?" The Umbreon wondered.

The poor thing tried to remember how it had into this mess, yet nothing came to mind. "DRAT. If only I could at least remember what happened, then maybe I could figure out what's going on, but...but all I remember is my name..."

"I believe I can be of assistance." A kindly, half motherly, half sisterly voice spoke.

"Wh-what? Who are you? WHERE are you?" Umbreon thought inside its head. "How'd you get in my head?

"My name is Mew. I'm speaking to you using telepathy, silly." Mew said with a slight giggle. "It's easy for a Psychic type like me."

"So where am I?" Umbreon asked Mew. It knew that Mew was a "Legendary" Pokemon. Surely she knew what was happening now. "Why do I feel so tired and weak and...and what is this bright light peering trhough my eyelids?"

"It's quite simple. You see, you're presently being cooked within the confines of a large oven to improve your flavor for when you're eaten by your captors." Mew told the Umbreon.

"EATEN?!? I'mm being cooked for food?!" He gasped in horror.

"That is correct. I could explain more to you,but it would be best for you to try and ESCAPE first, for I doubt that your body can take much more of that heat." Mew informed the Umbreon.

"Escape? But I can barely move...I've not even got the strength to open my eyes..." Umbreon moaned.

"That's why I'm here, little one. If you wish, I can save you from this terrible fate. I just ask for one thing in return." Mew said. "That you help me."

"Sounds like you really like to beat around the bush. What exactly do you want me to help you with? I don't know if I should agree unless you give me more information..."

"There's much more going on than you presently realize. In fact, the entire world is at stake here. Of all the Pokemon I've been able to find, YOU appear to be the most capable of helping, so I came to you. I'll explain more in time, but it would be best to get you out of that oven before you finish cooking. After all, you're no good to me dead!"

"You just want to USE me?" Umbreon asked angrily.

"I suppose you could say that if you wish to be so blunt, but it's not merely for my sake, or for yours, but for the sake of all Pokemon in this world! Would you please help? If you agree to do so...I'll break you out and save you from being a crispy fried critter." Mew offered.

Umbreon thought it over. "...well...alright...I'll accept your offer and help you."

"That's a good Umbreon. Thank you. Now just hold on a moment..."

Brief flashes of light filled Umbreon's eyes as he felt a light, tickling sensation come over his body. "Ooh! I'm starting to feel much better!" He realized.

"That's the idea. I'll have you feeling aaaaall better soon, and then you can bust out of that oven." Mew laughed gently.

Soon, the Pokemon's health was completely restored. Opening its eyes and letting out a "YAAAAH", Umbreon busted out of the white oven he'd been in, breaking the door down completely. Umbreon found itself in a dungeon-esque kitchen with ovens all over, and a large table at the far end of the kitchen with cooking materials and spices. "Well, I'm free!" Umbroen realized. "But...are all of these?"

"I'm afraid so." Mew said sadly. "All of these Pokemon are being cooked to be eaten. Like I said before, there is much going on that you don't yet understand, and the entire world is at stake. That's why we must act quickly!"

"Okay, where are you, then?" Umbreon asked.

"I'm not in this current location, hence why I'm speaking with telepathy. But I'll still aid you however I can." Mew informed the Umbroen.

"Okay, so we should start by saving all of these Pokemon, right?"

Mew hesitated, then sighed. "Unfortunately, they're all doomed. Most are already dead...and I've not the strength to save the ones still alive. I used up all my strength to save YOU. If you did try to break them open, you'd be heard and captured again." She went on.

Umbreon felt heartbroken. "But...these are innocents, I...I can't just leave them here..." It whispered sadly. "I..."

"It leaves a horrible taste in MY mouth too, but we must abandon them. Even the ones still alive are likely too weak to be able to defend themselves, and you barely knocked YOURSELF out of that oven. Trying to break THEM out would hurt YOU as well." Mew spoke sadly.

"...alright...I'll leave this place." Umbreon agreed.

"Good. Now there should be a secret switch around here. Find it and press it, and you'll be able to get out of this place." Mew informed the Umbreon.

Moving around the room, Umbreon searched along the walls carefully with his paws, peering closely. Moving to the far back right of the room, he finally found something...a hidden switch in one of the cracks of the stone walls. He flicked it, and a few moments later as the entire room shook...

POP. A setoff stairs descended from the roof to the ground below. Umbreon grinned. "Yes!" Umbroen laughed happily. The little guy ran for the exit...

Then something descended the stairs, stopping him, and Umbreon gasped in fear. It was a dog-like being with red and yellow/creamish fur, a thick tail, strong muscles on it's body and sharp teeth. An "Arcanine".

"Well, well, well...what do we have here?" The Arcanine asked in a rough voice, looking Umbreon over. He took a step forward and Umbreon skittered back. "Hey there, morsel. What are you doing outside of your oven? You'll get cold. Let me escort you back."

Umbreon quivered in fear as Mew's voice spoke in his head. "Get over your fear! I know he's frightening, but if he gets hold of you, it's back into the oven you'll go! Get it in gear!"

"Hey, didn't you hear me? I said COME HERE!" The Arcanine growled. Umbreon stepped back, shaking its head as Arcanine growled darkly. "You sure are being a very disobedient meal. But I'll get you YET." He whispered.

"What am I going to do?" Umbreon thought. "I can't fight a Pokemon like that?" It whimpered.

"Get to the stairs and run." Mew advised.

"Ohhh, I get it." Arcanine said, sniggering. "You're thinking of making a break for it. Well, I can't have you climbing these stairs when I'm trying to get you back into your oven." He turned around and let out a loud belch, as a burning fire alit the stairs. "There we go." He said as Umbreon gasped in fear. "Now, a fire type like me...that's no problem. But you? Flame-roasted." He laughed.

Umbreon sobbed, covering it's eyes with it's paws, flopping to the ground. All hope it had had of escaping was gone. It was going to be eaten. It would never be free. He'd had only the tiniest taste of freedom and this monster had ripped it from him.

"So...are you going to be a good meal now? C'mon, meat. It's time to get back into your oven." Arcanine said, calmly approaching Umbreon.

"UMBREON!" Mew yelled in it's head.

"...it's hopeless...I'm as good as caught." Umbreon whispered.

Arcanine licked it's lips. "Heh. I can see the submission in your eyes. Now just go ahead and walk yourself right back into that oven." He spoke softly.

Weeping, Umbreon walked back towards the oven, tears falling down it's furry black cheeks. But just before he could step inside...

POP.

Two buttons appeared on either end of the room...big and red...about the size of it's body. Arcanine couldn't see Umbreon, who was now behind a row of ovens, and he couldn't see the buttons...

An idea came to Umbreon. What would happen if one was to PRESS them?

The Umbreon raced softly along the ground so as to not attract attention, then jumped into the air, pressing the first button. Quickly racing to the other side of the room, Umbroen pressed the other button and was rewarded with the unmistakable sound of flames quickly being extinguished with a HISSSSSS.

"WHAAAT?!?" The Arcanine roared. "Where in the high holy hell did my flames go?"

"Hurry! Now's your chance!" Mew told the Umrbeon inside it's head.

"You little pest! I don't know what the hell just happened but if you won't willingly go into the oven, I'll DRAG you in by force!" It snarled.

But Umbreon was quicker. It leapt through the air, on top of the ovens, then raced up the stairs, panting.

"Keep going little Umbreon!" Mew said. "We've got to reach someplace safe where I can tell you everything!"

...

...

...

...at long last, Umbreon found himself in a nice, secluded room. Quickly locking the door behind him, he sat down in a corner and breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, it was a closet, but hey, security was security.

"We're safe NOW, so I expect you to explain what's going on, Mew." The Umbreon said.

"Well, first let me re-introduce myself. I am one of the 4 guardians of this world. Besides me, there is Celebi, Jirachi and Manaphy, and we are all Legendaries who were here when Life first FORMED on this planet, watching over it from the shadows as its dear caretakers." Mew explained. "All Legendaries have duties to watch over the world of Pokemon, but we four are like "pillars" that support the world and keep it from descending totally into darkness. We provide a moral core, a spiritual compass that spreads out through the world and makes it good."

"I seeee." Umbreon remarked.

"Every time this world is in danger, we arise to face it and keep order. But...things aren't going smoothly this time as they usually do. We underestimated our foes...and were captured. We would have all been served up on dinner plates as you were about to be, but we managed to pull off a miraculous escape. Unfortunately...we no longer have the strength to fend off this new threat alone." Mew added sadly.

"So where ARE Manaphy, Celebi and Jirachi?" Umbreon wanted to know.

"They're with me, in a hidden location. They too are seeking out Pokemon to aid us, just as I sought YOU out. We need all the help we can get to defeat the darkness that threatens our world."

"What IS this darkness?"

"A very evil pokemon has unlocked an ancient and powerful art called "Vore"." Mew explained.

"Vore? Never heard of it." Umrbeon remarked.

"Most haven't. It is a very ancient art that was long lost. And all texts of it were sealed after it brought ruin to the world a millennium ago. But now a black-hearted Pokemon has discovered and gained this power, and threatens all life on this planet."

"What exactly IS vore anyhow?"

"It is the power to consume the body of another whole, then increase in strength. The victim must, however, be either alive...or have RECENTLY died when they are eaten."

"No wonder all those Pokemon were captured and cooked..." Umrbeon mumbled.

"Yes, this dark Pokemon wishes to increase infinitely in strength through vore and shall not be satisfied until it's devoured almost every Pokemon on the planet! It will reign over all and bring about a bleak existence to all others. The survivors will be wishing they HAD been eaten." Mew added.

"Well, what can I do about?" Umbreon wanted to know.

"As I said, we guardians are seeking help to defeat this threat. So we are seeking Pokemon with the remaining power we have to come to our aid."

"Hold on...if 4 legendaries couldn't defeat this monster, what chance do 4 ordinary Pokemon have?" Umbreon asked nervously., gulping slightly.

"I know, things look quite grim. However...we CANNOT give up hope. And with how tings currently stand, this his is our last hope. Please...will you help us?" Mew pleaded.

"...alright. I'll help. You DID save me after all and helping you fight this thing sounds a lot better than sitting around and waiting to be eaten. Better to burn out than to fade away!" Umbreon decided.

"Oh, thank you, thank you, THANK you!" Mew happily squealed in Umbreon's head. "I promise to help you out in any way I can!"

"How can you do that?"

"Do you remember those buttons from before? Using the power of "Psychometry", I can assist you by generating more buttons and the like as you travel through this tower. By using the devices I create in you location, you can open up a powerful telepathic link to your area that I can use to aid you like before." Mew explained. "I wish I could send you a sample of my power directly, but there's a magical barrier around the tower that prevents direct transfers of psychic energy from one mind to another. The best I can do is send something to act as a catalyst for my powers."

"Well then...I'd best get moving." Umbreon said, standing up and heading out the closet door, taking a quick look around before moving up the staircase to the next floor.

...

...

...

...finding itself in a large room with brown-bodied creatures with boxing gloves for fists walking around, Umbreon hid in the shadows. The creatures had blue shorts and a shirt with big shoulder pads...Hitmonchans.

"These Pokemon are all utterly loyal to the strong, like most fighting pokemon. If you can reach the top of the tower and defeat the operator, you'll be able to get them to stop cooking massive numbers of Pokemon anymore." Mew explained.

"So the master of these Pokemon is at the top of the tower, huh?" Umbreon whispered, seeing the a button in the far off corner of the room. "Okay...I'll do what I can."

It wasn't long before Umbreon had pressed all of the switches. It was easy...the big lugs moved in a predictable pattern, pacing back and forth, and sliding past them when they weren't looking as you stuck to the shadows meant the switches were easy to reach. The SECOND floor was slightly different though...

Though there was a switch nearby, Umbreon saw there were two rocks blocking it's path to the other ones closest. He'd have to be careful and move them quickly before he could get to the other switches.

"Careful, for Ariados are in this tower as well. Bug pokemon usually are mindless and follow a "hive leader". I know not who is the hive leader for all of the insect Pokemon that have allied with the Vore Lord..." Mew murmured.

"I've got this." Umbreon insisted, quickly slipping by the Hitmonchan and pushing one of the rocks back, stepping on a switch, then hiding behind a wall. It then quickly moved to the next rock, pushing it aside and stepping on the next switch. The Umrbeon watched the sight of the Ariados move along a large web that was blocking the next switch. The bug had a red body with black stripes and an "unhappy face" on its abdomen, with six yellow legs with purple stripes, the final two being on its back, almost like appendages.

Quickly shoving it's way through the web underneath a hole, Umbreon made it to the final switch, waiting for the Ariados to move away. When the chance came, it bolted, heading for the staircase.

The next room had an Aradios web all around and Hitmonchans pacing...and a strange, red and white, orb-like Pokemon that looked sort of like a...Pokeball.

Humans were known of in this "only-Pokemon" world. The legend had been that a large group of Pokemon had been taken to a world created by the Legendaries themselves where they could live separate from humans. They didn't bother mankind, mankind didn't bother them. Separate, but equal enough.

"Voltorbs?" Umrbeon asked.

"Yes, they and Electrodes are attracted to places giving off a lot of electrical power..." Mew explained.

"Like this tower." Umbreon understood as it snuck past the Hitmonchan and noticed the Voltorb was going around the switches over and over.

"If you don't stop it's movement...it'll keep pressing the switches on and off and you'll never be able to climb the next staircase." Mew informed Umbreon.

"I've got an idea." Umbreon laughed, noticing a large boulder nearby. "The thing moves in a patter around the room...if it's as stupid as I hope..."

Umbreon snuck by another Hitmonchan, quickly pushing the boulder into the Voltorb's path.

THA-WHAAAM.

It slammed into it hard, moaning. It was now unconscious. Smiling, Umbreon happily walked around the room, pressing the switches and making its way up the stairs.

This time though, Umbreon found itself in a large room with a plushy red throne with stained glass windows all around. "This must be the top floor, but...where is the Tower Leader? The leader ought to be here..." Mew wondered.

"Hmm. Is it really so bad that the leader isn't here?" Umbreon wondered out loud.

"Oh don't worry." An all-too familiar voice called out. "I'm here..."

"That voice!...it...can it be?" Umbreon whispered.

"Well, I'm glad to see you remember me." The voice sneered.

TWHOOOOM!

With a flash of red light, the Arcanine appeared on the throne, looking smug. "Did you MISS me?" It laughed.

"What do YOU think!?!" Umbreon growled.

"Well anyhoo, it was quite kind of you to deliver yourself to me like this. You're a MUCH more obedient dinner than I gave you credit for." The Arcanine crowed.

"YOU'RE the vore-hungry Pokemon behind all this?" Umbreon wanted to know.

"This TOWER is indeed mine, but I serve a higher one." Arcanine informed Umbreon. "You speak of my master, the Vore Lord. However he HAS entrusted all his tower leaders with the power of vore as well." Arcanine added. "Now c'mere, Food!" Arcanine growled. "My patience grows thin and my stomach calls out for your body. It's time for you to play your role, just like ALL prey we capture. Got it, Food?"

"...you act like that's my name." Umbreon whispered darkly, red eyes narrowing, claws extending from it's paws and digging into the floor.

"Well of course. That's because it IS your new name. It has been ever since we captured you. Now come here! I grow tired of this silly chatter!" Arcanine said contemptuously.

"Umbreon, you're going to have to defeat Arcanine and destroy this tower. I'll generate buttons like I did before, and all you have to do is press them down. Then I'll be able to attack Arcanine with my psychic powers!" Mew told Umbreon through telepathy.

"I'll try." Umbreon thought, tensing up.

"Well of course you're going to try. It's either that, or crawl into that mutt's drooling jaws." Mew remarked bluntly.

"You sure have a way with words." Umbreon remarked.

"You're thinking of resisting your fate, eh? Very well." Arcanine said coldly. "I'll just FORCE you into submission. Be warned...I'm much stronger than any ordinary Arcanine. I've been blessed with the power of vore, meaning I grow in strength every time I eat a Pokemon and believe you me, I've had quite a good number of meals while running this tower. Let me show you my power...the power of vore!"

The Arcanine let out a roar and spat out a large burst of flame that went soaring through the air as four buttons stationed themselves around the room, popping into existence. Quickly Umbreon raced along the ground, dodging the flame and sliding onto one button, then jumped through the air, spinning quickly as another burst of flame launched from Arcanine's jaws.

"Ha-ha-ha!" Umbreon laughed. "You're not so tough!" It said, landing on another button.

Arcanine suddenly shot forward and slammed one paw into Umbreon, sending it flying into the wall with a SCH-LUDDA-THUD. Arcanine cackled. "Still think I'm "not so tough"?" It added, leaping at Umbreon.

Umbreon shook the cobwebs from it's head and dove underneath Arcanine, racing along the ground. Snarling, Arcanine launched another burst of flame from it's jaws which went sailing after Umbreon.

"Hot-hot-hot-HOOOOOTTTT!!!" Umbreon squealed out, diving to the side and pressing another button. Only one more to go!

Arcanine charged directly at the Umbreon, drooling and spitting mad. Carefully taking up the right position, Umbreon waited...and waited...

"You're MINE!" The Arcanine snarled, leaping headfirst at Umbreon...

Who jumped up into the air just at the right moment, then BOUNCED clear off of Arcanine's head, soaring through the air. It sat atop the throne, looking down contemptuously at Arcanine, shaking it's head. "You're pathetic." Umbreon said. "All bluster and bluff. You've got no power that's your own, only what you STOLE from Pokemon much weaker than you who didn't even have the chance to fight back!"

"Shut up and let me food you!" Arcanine snarled, leaping at Umbreon.

Umbreon dove to the side, landing on the final button.

SCHA-WIIIIIIING!

Arcanine went flying to the ground, a blue aura of energy surrounding his body as he screamed. "GAAAAAH! Wh-what the hell?!?"

"Keep it up, Umbreon!" Mew insisted.

"Grrr..." Arcanine stood back up. "I don't know what the hell you just did, but it doesn't matter. Prepare for a one-way trip to my belly!"

It launched itself back at Umbreon as more buttons appeared. Umbreon slid to the side, diving out of the way and pressing another button. He then raced back along the ground as Arcanine dug it's paws into the ground and roared, sending out a large wave of flame.

"Umbreon, JUMP!" Mew yelled in Umbreon's mind.

Umbreon nodded and leapt high up into the air, landing back on the throne and then quickly hopping off, dodging another attack from Arcanine as it pressed another button.

SCHA-WIIIIIING!

Another blue blast of energy surrounded Arcanine, sending it flying back. "Grrrrrrrr!"

By now Arcanine was foaming at the mouth with fury. It raced towards Umbreon, chasing the poor thing around the room over and over, belching fire out at him and howling obscenities. However, Arcanine was just plain slower than Umbreon, and the little black Pokemon made a last jump, plopping it's paws onto the last button.

SCHA-WIIIIIIING!

"No....this...can't...beeeee!" Arcanine howled as the blue energy assaulted him again. He was flung to the center of the room and lay there, panting heavily, cuts and bruises spreading out over his body as Umbreon panted and walked over to him. "HOW?! How did you....?"

"Did we win?" Umbreon asked Mew in it's head.

"Yes. Arcanine has no more strength left to fight."

"So now what? Do I just destroy the tower now?" Umbreon asked.

"Not yet. First, I must bestow something upon thee." Mew added. "To be honest, I wouldn't normally do this, but there is no way we'll be able to defeat the Vore Lord as things stand. You need to get much, much stronger and there's no time for training. So I have no choice but to grant you the power of vore."

"WHAT?! The same power these monsters are using to wreak havoc?!" Umbreon thought in horror.

"Yes, and you will use it to eat Arcanine."

"But he's twice my size!" Umbreon protested. "No offense Mew, but are you nuts?!"

"Mew?" Arcanine blinked. "You're talking to MEW?"

"Ah, but with the power of vore you can wolf down Pokémon that are many times your own size. And every time you do, you shall increase in strength!" Mew commented. "This is the only way you can gain the power you need to combat the Vore Lord in time."

"...alright..." Umbreon mumbled. "If this is the only way..."

"Thank you. Now I will release your seal." Mew informed Umbreon.

"My what?"

"Your seal. EVERY Pokemon possesses the power of vore. It lies dormant within them, sealed away. But I, as one of the Gaurdian,s can break the seal. BEHOLD!"

A burning pink light surrounded Umbreon and began to rise around the Pokémon as Arcanine watched in fear. He'd seen that light before...it had been surrounding HIM at one point...the power of vore was being awakened in this Umbreon!

"No...no, it can't be!" Arcanine gasped.

"There. Alllll done. Now you can eat Arcanine easily." Mew explained.

"Are you SURE about this?" Umbreon asked nervously. "Yes, Arcanine's a scuzball, but..."

"If you don't hurry, he'll get his second wind back." Mew reminded Umbreon.

"Alright, I'll try to do this the best I can." Umbreon remarked, approaching Arcanine, licking it's lips. "I must say...suddenly you look quite tasty."

"AHH! Don't eat me!"

"Too late to plea for mercy. Besides, I need to test out my new powers. Down the hatch you go!"

"Oh f-" Arcanine squeaked as Umbreon jumped on him. The jaws of the black Pokémon unhinged and Arcanine was stuffed headfirst into Umbreon's maw. It tilted it's head back and began to gulp.

SCHA-GLUNK-SCHA-GLUNKS-SCHA-GLUNK!

GLOMP.

"BRAAAAP. That...was..." Umbreon blinked. "...oh wow. That felt DELICIOUS! I've never eaten anything so good in my life! I didn't even know food could taste so wonderful!" Umbreon laughed.

"Yes, one effect of vore is that it makes all meals you consume in a vorish manner taste as wonderful as that Arcanine tasted just now." Mew explained.

"It makes me want to find more to eat!" Umbreon remarked, licking it's lips.

"Well you'll get your chance, there are many more tower leaders to eat." Mew explained. "Just try and keep it under control. The reason vore is sealed away and kept a secret to all is because it encourages gluttony, filling the hearts of many Pokémon with an unquenchable, greedy hunger. That's why it brought ruin to the world last time and is doing so again. If you're not careful, you'll turn into another Vore Lord!" Mew warned.

"Oh my..." Umbreon spoke quietly. "But...I PROMISE I won't get carried away."

"I know you won't." Mew said gently. "I sensed your good heart and that is why I chose you. I just hope I made the right choice."

"Before we proceed...can I ask you something?" Umbreon inquired.

"Name it."

"...why'd you wait until now to unlock my vore powers? It would have been much easier for me to get up the tower if I'd just eaten all those other Pokémon in my way."

"Look at your stomach, silly." Mew giggled.

Umbreon looked down "GAAAAAH! Oh by Articuno's frigid balls, look at me! I'm a fat PIG!" It moaned.

"You keep eating EVERY Pokémon you come across and you'll just make yourself vulnerable to others. Just eat the tower leaders, there are thirteen of them and that means plenty of meals." Mew insisted. "Don't worry, the digestion won't take too long, and as for destroying the tower, there will be a means to do so hidden in this room. All of the tower leaders have that option available should any sudden uprising occur. If they need to take the tower down with any resistance with them, they'd DO so, and most likely they, the strongest Pokémon in the tower, would survive to build a new one."

"I see..."

"It also ensures that the towers destroyed can't be used as a headquarters for the Vore Lord's enemies. Don't worry though, you won't get caught in the tower's destruction. I'll teleport you out once you've initiated it's destruction and I'll point you in the direction of the next tower." Mew said happily.

"Okay. And Mew? Thank you for saving my life." Umbreon added nervously.

"You're welcome, Umbreon. Us girls gotta look out for each other, right?" Mew laughed gently.

"Right." Umbreon laughed, giggling to herself.

It didn't take long for the digestion to finish, and Umbreon marked Arcanine's passing with a contemptuous fart, then began looking around the room. She could faintly hear people coming up the stairs, and noticed, just upon finding a switch behind the throne, many Hitmonchans, Voltorbs and Ariados appearing.

"Hey, what's going on!?" One Hitmonchan demanded.

"I just ate your leader." Umbreon said calmly. "So unless you want to die in the horrible crashing of this tower...I'd run." She suggested.

They all looked at each other, screamed, then took off down the stairs. Umbreon waited about five minutes, then pulled the switch, and as she did so, a tingling feeling filled her body...

THWOOOOOOOM!

...

...

...

...She opened her eyes to see some Pokémon that HAD been in the ovens looking at her with awe...and why not? She was surrounded in a pink bubble, floating down to the ground from the sky like an angel.

"You're...you're the one that saved us." An Eevee spoke up, standing by a Vulplix and a Piplup.

"Oh woooow...you're preeeetty." A Rosalia remarked.

Umbreon blushed. She felt pretty dang good right now as the Pokémon all crowded around her.

"I can't EVER forget why I'm doing this." She said. "Pokémon like this need me to stop the tower leaders and the Vore Lord. It's wrong to force these innocent Pokémon into ovens, rounding them up like pigs to the slaughter. I swear...I will stop you." She thought to herself, looking at the sky. "I WILL stop you, Vore Lord."

And thus, thanks to Mew, Umbreon was able to escape being cooked and eaten. And now, with the ancient power of Vore, Umbreon must quest onward to stop the evil Vore Lord from eating thousands of innocent Pokémon in an attempt to gain the power to completely rule the world. Umbreon stares off at the horizon from the rubble of the destroyed tower, knowing that the ruin she leaves behind is the first of many. The light of the final hope of the planet has been lit, and now only one question remains...

Will this dim light be able to extinguish the great darkness that lies ahead? Only time shall tell...
