#4 of Bloody Journey

The 4th chapter of Bloody Journey and this one is a little more... bloody.


====JONKO====

"Sabrina it's good to see you again." I said as the famous gym leader from Saffron City in the region of Kanto stepped out of the two story home. She smiled as straightened her violet and white Kimono.

"Jonko, I hope you're not planning on causing trouble in my husband's town are you?" She walked towards Flo and me.

"Ha, please." I shook my head, "You and your mate are probably some of the very few who can kick my ass." "Or potentially kill me." I finished mentally. I saw her eyes flash, meaning she heard me. We shook hands and she looked to Flo, who still sat on my shoulder.

"And you must be Flo, it's nice to meet you." She nodded and I turned to look at my friend. I couldn't help but chuckle at the stunned look on her face.

"Y... yo... you're THE Sabrina." She said, as though she's only now figuring it out. Sabrina chuckled at the stunned Zorua.

"I guess some haven't heard that I've moved here yet." She looked back to me, "Please come in, Granger has just made tea and Alan his out back with their daughter."

"Thank you Sabrina, how are those three anyhow?" I asked as I walked up to the door with the gym leader besides me.

"Fare," Her eyes glowed as she telepathically opened the door. "Alan evolved into an Alakazam not too long after we settled here, and Granger has been helping me with getting the new gym running." She led me into the living room, a fairly large portion of the first floor with two tan love seats flanking a dark red couch. The walls where a nice cream color with the dark hard wood floor being a lovely off-set for them. A sporadic collection of bookshelves decorated a wall with a stairway.

"Alan managed to evolve? I knew he was powerful, but damn." I shook my head.

"Um... Jonko." Flo said timidly, I angled my head to look at her. She swallowed, "Um, do you think..." her eyes shifted to Sabrina, who was staring at her, and froze. Sabrina and I chuckled at the poor dark type.

"I'm not as dangerous as I'm made out to be." Sabrina's eyes glowed as Flo was moved from my shoulder to the floor. "My husband has a small office with the tools to take apart pokeballs on the second floor, first door on the right. Flo, would you like some tea?" Sabrina started towards what I assumed to be the kitchen.

"Thanks Mrs. Natsume, I'll be sure to put the tools back when I finish." I wandered to the stairs, looking at poor Flo, whose face held a priceless stunned expression.

======FLO=====

"Dear Arceus... she really can effect dark types." I swallowed and started towards the kitchen.

"Really Flo, I'm not going to hurt you," She said, I looked up and saw her poring what looked and smelt like pecha berry tea into a bowl. "You're a guest in my home, and a... acquaintance of Jonko's." she turned to me and rolled her eyes at the word 'acquaintance', I couldn't help but chuckle at it.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a screen door open and a Gengar and Gastly enter.

"Aunty Brina! Aunty Brina!" The clearly young Gastly floated to Sabrina and rest in the nook of her elbow, "I stuck daddy in a tree!"

"Oh dear." Sabrina quickly levitated the bowl to the ground as she covered her mouth with her other hand and started laughing. "Excuse me for a second Flo, I have to see this." I smiled and nodded.

"Oh hi! I'm Angela! Who are you?" The little Gastly floated to me and turned herself upside down.

"Angela, sweetie, don't be nosey." The Gengar said with a motherly tone as she walked under the table and over to me, "Sorry about that dearie, my daughter tends to be rather outgoing." She held her arms out and Angela righted herself and drifted to her mother. I giggled at the little girl.

"It's no problem, I'm Flo by the way." I walked closer to the ghost and held out a paw, "It's nice to meet you."

"A pleasure to meet you Miss. Flo, I'm Granger." She took my paw and shook it, "And as you could guess, this is my daughter, Angela." at the sound of her name, the little Gastly tilted herself slightly and smiled widely with eyes closed. The screen door behind them opened as Sabrina and an Alakazam walked in. Miss Granger and her daughter turned around and Angela instantly flew at the Alakazam.

"Yeah! Daddy not in a tree anymore!" The Alakazam smiled and grabbed her, then hugged her against his chest.

==TIME/JONKO==

I sat back in the little recliner Mewtwo had in his office and sighed. We had been here for almost thirty minutes and I spent the majority of it trying to find a way to rig a pokeball to allow Flo to be the sole user of the ball.

"Damn, these things are a real pain to mess with."

"You know, I may have a psychic ball around there." _ _Mewtwo's sudden voice in my head made me jump slightly.

"Damn it Mewtwo, you're going to give me a heart attack." I shook my head. "And what the hell is a psychic ball?"

"Oh please, it'll take more than that to give you a heart attack." _ I heard Mewtwo laugh in my head. " **_And a psychic ball is one of the pokeballs I made during my... early years of freedom."** _ _I nodded, understanding what he meant.

"Right, tell you what, you can suggest that to Flo when you get home. Where you at anyway?"

"Had to take a detour... some Lightning Commanders are causing trouble just past the northern end of town." _ _My eyes widen and I was on my feet instantly.

"A fight?" I grabbed my bag and unzipped a hidden compartment behind the straps.

"Not yet, and I'm trying to avoid it."** **I snorted as I pulled out and slipped on two black forearm coverings.

"You make it sound as though they would respect a Pokémon." I grabbed the ragged Kanto Sniper cloak that was wrapped around my Unova Special Forces bulletproof vest.

"... You may be right."** **I threw my sweater off and replaced it with the vest. A sudden knock at the door drew my attention as I grabbed the wooden case that held my favorite set of teeth.

"Diyablo, be careful and protect my husband." I snarled as I smiled, using my tongue and jaw muscles to pop the plastic piece out of my mouth.

======FLO=====

I was playing with Angela in the living room when the Alakazam, who I learned was called Alan and through some blessing of Arceus was Angela's biological father, suddenly click the television on.

"We are live from Gold Town where we are witnessing yet another attempt by the Lightning Commanders to force the residential Mayor to step down and admit Pro Human activities in the area. However, I think that this attempt may prove much different, as the current mayor of this little community, is none other than the Legendary Mewtwo himself."

"BOO! No Lightning Commanders here!" Angela suddenly hid herself behind me.

"What are they thinking? Everyone in the region at the very least knows Mewtwo is the mayor of Gold town! We went to war with Kalos because of it!" I said angrily and frowned. On the screen was two large troop carrying trucks with the Lightning Commanders symbol, a master ball with a lightning bolt shape remove from the middle.

"The Lightning Commanders are up to something, aren't they?" I turned to Granger, who was looking at her mate. Alan frowned and looked very annoyed at something, suddenly he turned to the stairs. I followed his gaze as Sabrina came down stairs, her face looking like it was set in stone.

"OOOH! Auntie Brina getting serious!" Angela called and suddenly flew through the ceiling and into the second floor. I watched her disappear as Sabrina walked to the couch and stood behind Alan. I swallowed, as her and Alan's eyes started to glow softly.

"Don't worry Flo." I looked Granger, who wore a sad smile, *"Those two are calming each other right now." * I looked back at them.

"Does-"

"Oh my Arceus! The Commanders have a freaking TANK!" The News lady suddenly screamed. I snapped my head back to TV. Sure enough, the Commanders had an older style Regamas Rhyhorn Tank, with its one-thirty millimeter cannon aimed at Mewtwo. The trucks were parked off to the sides of the road and emptying out troops.

"The Bloody Hero may have his work cut out for him." I looked back at Alan, his hands rested so his fingertips gently touched together in front of his face. Behind him, Sabrina's grip on the couch tighten noticeably.

"MEWTWO!" looking back to the broadcast, one of the Commanders was standing atop the tank with a massive sword on his back. His Field camo jump suit was left open from his waist up and tied around his waist, with a piece of what looked like medieval battle armor from Kalos covering his torso and an AK-47u clipped to its front. The shot wasn't zoomed in enough for me to see his face. "I am General Sanders of the Lightning Commanders, and I demand you relinquish your leadership of this poor town at once!"

Mewtwo stood still for a time, then pointed a hand at the tank. The soldiers besides the tank raised their guns and aimed at Mewtwo. When he put his hand back to his side and the tank stayed where it was I realized that he was only speaking to them.

"Ha! You expect me to believe you will honor our laws?!" The man pointed Mewtwo, "You're nothing but a Pokémon! A human made clone! With NO reason to exist other than to serve those who made you! HUMANS!" He slashed his arm down and jumped off the tank. "You have KILLED people monster-"

Mewtwo suddenly leaned forward and clenched his paws into fist. He thrust a hand at the man, then made very aggressive pointing movements as he took a few steps closer. He turned to the side and crossed his arms as the human started to speak again.

"You don't scare ME beast," The human snarled, "I'm going to give you ONE last chance, before I end your tyranny and purify that whore you-

====JONKO====

Mewtwo raised his arm with the intent to kill the man who insulted his wife.

"NO!" Before he could focus the energy I grabbed his wrist and snarled like the monster I can be. Mewtwo jerked his head to me and teleported a few feet behind me.

"Blood Fang..." _ _Mewtwo said, projecting to everyone who could hear.

"Monster of Regamas, I must admit, I wasn't expecting someone as... infamous as yourself to aid in our cause." I turned to the wretched Lightning Commander and released a feral growl as loud as I could. The twenty four soldiers who got out of the trucks looked at their leader and me, the nervousness emanating from them like clouds.

"You think I would help someone like you?!" I snarled, "I only prevented Mewtwo from staining the ground with your blood because I want to." I clicked my steel teeth together and he laughed.

"Ah yes, I forget your too much of a beast to share our vision." I barked at him.

"Ha! Vision? Please, your 'vision' is nothing more than a pathetic replica of Kanto's Team Rocket. Hell, I'm surprised you didn't help them when they were attacking our home... but then again," I tugged at the chin of my ski mask, "Where WERE the Lightning Commanders during their invasion?" I asked, "I was at the Battle of Opal, and I saw no sign of you. The Fall, and Recapture of Pearl town, you're biggest supporter, no Lightning Commander's lost their lives." I crossed my arms, "The massacre at Sapphire town, you had armed boats with crews on the water just off the docks, but you did nothing. Yet here in Gold town, during the Rain of Blood, where Mewtwo there," I jerked an arm at my friend, "Defended this city almost single handedly! Here your men came armed to the teeth, but you refused aid in the defense UNLESS Mewtwo and his family removed themselves from the town!"

"Careful my friend, these men don't intend to leave without something to show for it." Mewtwo cautioned me.

"I know." The Lightning Commander clenched his fist and growled.

"At least we are not bloodthirsty murderers!" He pointed at me. "We all have seen what you do Diyablo! You've killed people while laughing at them! Drank the blood of innocent humans!" He swept his arms back, spreading them wide. "You've been called a Hero, but face the fact monster, you're no hero." I started laughing.

"Oh please, of all the attempts to get me to fight THAT is by far the weakest I've ever heard!" I whipped a tear from my eye. "Look punk, as you've said, I am a 'bloodthirsty murderer,' I am a 'monster' who does enjoys drinking blood." I licked my lips, "But I'm honest with myself and don't lie to-" I jumped to my right as the leader snapped his fingers and the grunts with him opened fire on me "FINALLY! I WANTED A FIGHT!"

"Citizens get back!" _ _Mewtwo threw up a massive barrier around me, the tank and the Commanders.

"Mewtwo, there's some civilians in here!" I mentally shouted as I watched some of them hit the dirt to try to avoid getting in the fight.

"I'm working on it!" He snapped at me and I soon heard the sound of teleporting.

"Shit!" I grabbed three throwing knives from the slits under each of my forearm guards. With five quick motions I brought down four of the ass holes before diving behind one of their own trucks."

"Mewtwo! Call of your mongrel!" I laughed hysterically at that, and unsheathed my two tomahawks that sat on my legs.

"Me HIS mongrel?!" I started to rip up the side of the fabric covered truck as the grunts came around the sides. Once on top, most of his goons were on the side of the truck I was on but I threw my tomahawks at the two who flanked him. "I am my own mongrel!"

======FLO=====

"Dear Arceus... he's amazing." I said as I watched the famed Diyablo work, killing the Commanders without fear.

"He is good at what he does." My eyes were drawn away from the cloaked killer by Granger's voice. She sighed sadly, " The poor boy may never be able to have the life he wants."

"What do you mean?" I tilted my head slightly.

"The Bloody Hero wants a chance to live like a normal human." Alan and Sabrina answered as one, which was slightly creepy.

"You mean you know him?!" I stood and faced them with wide eyes.

"MONSTER!" The leader of the Commanders caught my attention. Looking back I gasped, Diyablo had one of the Lightning Commanders throat in his steel jaws and shaking his head like a Houndoom with a pidgey.

"He does kill with his teeth..." I whispered as the remaining grunts shot their unfortunate comrade.

====JONKO====

"Rrrr, now this is a fight!" I thought to myself as I took the assault rifle from my victim and open fire at the Commanders as I dragged the corpse back to the other truck.

"Fire!" The tank turret erupted with an explosive boom as the massive round flew out towards Mewtwo's shield. As I killed three more of them I noticed the shield Mewtwo put up flicker, and out of the corner of my eye I spotted Mewtwo on his knees, panting.

"Mewtwo! What happened?!" I released the corpse and sprinted behind the other truck.

"That... tank... its rounds..." _ _Mewtwo sounded as week as he looked, and I got angry.

"Never killed a tank... sounds fun." I laughed hysterically and jumped onto the hood of the truck and emptied the clip at anyone close to the tank, most of the remaining grunts took cover behind the tank and truck, the four that didn't died. "Let me know as soon as it's gonna fire!" I dropped the gun and unsheathed my hunting knife and machete.

"Don't risk your life for m-"

"Your wife tasked me to protect you," I jumped up onto the tank and roared at the leader, who was climbing up it. "And I sure as hell don't intend to fail." I started to bring my machete down on him, but he swung his torso in a manner that used the hilt of his longsword to protect him. He thrusted himself forward and forced me to jump back, almost falling off the tank. His hand went for his gun and I through my hunting knife into that slot where the spent rounds came out. It stuck and he skipped back off the tank as his grunts open fire at me again. I shifted my weight to dive behind the tank when-

"Their firing!" _ _fuck.

"Drop the shield and focus it around my chest! NOW!" I ordered as I slammed my chest against the barrel and clasped it in my hands.

"Are you-"** **Mewtwo shut up and dropped the shield but before I felt him focus on me, they fired.

======FLO=====

"Oh my Arceus... did... did anyone else see that?!" The news caster frantically asked. My eyes were wide as could be and my mouth hung open.

"...No..." I mumbled as the scene played out. Mewtwo's shield fell seconds before the cannon fired at Diyablo's body point blank, miraculously the body stayed intact, but he flew several meters back to lay face down in the dirt besides Mewtwo. The purple Pokémon looked at body as his clothes burned then,

"MEWTWO!" Sabrina screamed as we saw him fall on his hands.

We watched as the leader of the Commanders laughed, six of his remaining ten grunts carefully advancing on where the two lay. The other four surrounded their leader, and lowered their guns.

"Now Mewtwo, what have you to say?" The Commander mocked, taking the gun from his chest and threw it to the side. "No way your defender could survive a hit like that." He started walking towards Mewtwo, "Now, why don't you do what a Pokémon is supposed to do and," he reached into his pocket, and pulled out a masterball.

"How did he get one of those?!" Granger yelled, suddenly right beside me. The human threw it at Mewtwo.

"Submit to your master!" Mewtwo looked up as the ball smashed into his face, but the ball remained closed. "WHAT?!" he demanded as Mewtwo rose to his feet with extreme difficulty. He tried to rise into a battle stance and fell to a knee, the human looked downright pissed by now.

"So your whore has captured you and keeps your pokeball then? I should of guessed. No matter," He raised a hand and six grunts closest to Mewtwo raised their guns to him. Mewtwo looked back to the camera then lowered his head. I turned around just in time to see Alan jump up and around, quickly embracing his friend,

"NO!" Sabrina cried with tears in her eyes.

===MEWTWO===

"This is it then... funny, at one point I wanted this." I closed my eyes as Sanders snapped his fingers.

"GRRAA!" I jerked my head up as I heard an unexpected battle cry erupt from besides me, I turned to see what I thought was the corpse of my friend jerk forward and charged the Grunts like he was an Infernape. They hesitated in firing, giving him time to reach the closest one, and go straight for his throat.

====JONKO====

Ohhh, ho ho I was PISSED. I ripped back from the grunts throat, but smashed my open jaws into his face a few times before I was satisfied and jumped to the next ass hole. He screamed and tried to bring his gun to me, but failed as I caught the barrel of his gun with one hand and his lower jaw in the other. I latched my jaws into his skull just below his eyes and ripped his jaw clean off, then shoved one end up through the roof of his mouth.

As the grunts shot me, the rounds either hitting my armor or flesh, I spun the gun in my hand around and did the same to them, only ensuring they died as I ran towards the tank. I felt the rounds of the four by the tank hit me as I finished the clip and the last ass hole near Mewtwo. I glimpsed out the side of my eye, and smiled. Spinning around, I brought my steel toe into the temple of one of the grunts and sent him into another as I stumbled to a third

"KILL IT! KILL IT!" The leader of the bunch commanded as he jogged back to the tank, which was moving its barrel to me. I ignored it as I grabbed a grunts throat and squeezed till he bleed and I ripped his throat out.

"Fuck fuck fuck FUCK!" The second to last soldier screamed as his gun started clicking empty, he dropped it and ran, the last soldier followed suit.

"WHY RUN?!" I passed my forearms together and, grabbing a blade each, threw one into both of their necks. As they fell dead I turned to the tank and the Commander who looked as though he had seen Giratina and Darkrai in the flesh before him. I laughed as I grabbed ahold of the tank barrel and worked my way to him.

======FLO=====

We watched as the monster roared at the Commander as he slammed the entrance to the tank turret closed. The tank started racing backwards and spun its turret around, trying to knock Diyablo off. Diyablo reached into its cloak and pulled something out, the image wasn't very clear what it was but I had a good idea as he threw it down the barrel then jumped from the tank.

"Was that-" the sound and sight of the tank exploding internally and stopping confirmed my suspicions. "Dear Arceus..." Suddenly Sabrina appeared on the screen near Mewtwo. I spun around and saw that she and Alan disappeared. Granger had her hands over her mouth as she watched the news. The roar of a monster caught my attention and I turned back to the Television.

====JONKO====

"Okay, they're dead..." I snarled as I walked back towards Mewtwo and... Sabrina?! She looked up at me stood in front of her husband defensively, I snorted.

"He okay?" I looked down at the massive scar on my chest from where the vest managed to take the enough force from the round and save my life, but destroyed the front of it. "Pity, I liked this vest." I mumbled to myself.

"My husband will be fine... thank you." I looked back to her stone expression, and bared my teeth.

"I simply stated my thirst for blood and voiced my opinion of the Lightning Commanders." I snarled and started gathering my blades. However, they raised from their places with psychic energy glowing from them. I turned back to Sabrina, her eye's glowing brightly, and growled. "Going to try and kill me with my own weapons?" I shifted my feet to a wide stance and spread my arms far to my side, "Bring it!" I roared. I heard the blades fly around me as the swung in front of me and fell to the ground.

"Please, I could kill you where you stand without much difficulty in your current condition." Her gaze faltered as Mewtwo started to stand again, she quickly turned and helped him up and supported his weight by holding his arm over his shoulder. She then returned to glaring at me, "Take your blades and leave monster, I'm not going to risk my fellow citizens to you any longer."

"Fine," I moved to each of my weapons, slipping them into their appropriate spots as I grabbed them. As I sheathed my last blade, my machete, my body started to glow. I snarled and looked back to Sabrina and Mewtwo, the latter had his arm weakly lifted to me as his glowing eyes followed me. "What do you think you're doing?" I felt each of my countless new injuries slowly close and roared at him, "Oy! I am the insane one here fool! You're too weak now to worry about trying to heal me!" I started towards him when Sabrina rose her hand and my body froze, I started growling angrily.

"Shut up and teleport to my office, Alan will use recover on you when you get there." Mewtwo said tiredly.

"Fine, I'll leave then!" I snapped, and focused my own weak psychic powers to teleport. My eyes glowed brightly as my body started to shift.
