21: White

It took three days for Raikou to wake up again. Darius had Swy and Swu on both his shoulders, and the two small Swablus were chirping and making little noises. He was watching as Cerberus was bathed by Shelly's water move [Water Gun], so he could slowly but surely develop a resistance. He also had eaten a good dinner made by wild Spearow meat alongside Magikarp meat and the very spicy Spelon Berry. Alongside that, Darius also added a few slices of Passho Berry, which helped Pokemon weak to Water Type resist their attacks better. Darius wanted to know what kind of effect a Pokemon raised by eating these berries would have... He also helped Cerberus develop his own toxins because Houndooms can use the toxin their stomach produces to create these toxic flames that are hard to heal! To make it easy for him, Darius used one of those little beads he collected from Raikou, crushed it, and placed it in a mixture of Pecha Berry juice, just in case.

It seemed to work because Cerberus' ability to wield Poison Type moves increased with him learning the move [Poison Gas], being able to release this slightly black gas that has a chance of poisoning other Pokemon! That, and he also learned a move under Darius' guidance, the move [Smokescreen], which Darius told him to train alongside his [Poison Gas] because if he could use both at the same time, not only would he conceal the poison inside the smoke, but he could also trick the opponent into not knowing that they were poisoned because they'd think they're feeling bad because of the smoke!

Let's see the results?

Apparently, 200 was the limit for Pokemon in the 1st rank because Cerberus' status that reached 200 stopped growing, so he told the good boy to focus on the control over his energy, the to increase his maximum amount of energy, and then his energy attack potency. His energy resistance was being trained right now, by Shelly using her [Water Gun] on him as he braced himself for impact. Darius also told him to train [Morning Sun] as well, and it quickly rose to the Expert rank under the pressure of constant attacks and healing. It also helped that Big Boy would occasionally use Sunny Day to help Cerberus train his self-healing move.

As Swu ruffled his feathers, Darius softly smiled. That was until Swy pecked his cheek, pointing her beak towards the soflty moving Raikou as it struggled to wake up: "Ah, hi, big guy." Darius softly greeted the tiger Pokemon, a soft smile on his lips: "You're pretty energetic today, huh?" Darius' hand softly touched the yellow fur, immediately being electrocuted by the Pokemon. Darius felt the shocking -pun intended- pain as it rushed through his whole body, electrifying and frying him due to the power of the electric energy. Darius' whole body tensed, his muscles all flexed, and his body was thrown hard against the wall, a few feet away from Raikou.

Fun fact!

You see, when people around thrown back after touching something electric, it's not because of power of the electricity itself, but because of the strength of all the body's muscles tensing at the same time.

And Darius must say, that fucking hurts, bitch. His body was paralyzed for a few moments, and under severe pain and muscle spasms, he got up. "Fuck!" He cursed, already feeling Gardevoir as she teleported to the room: "This is the last time I'm helping a fucking Raikou." Darius stretched his arms as they trembled heavily, he probably would fucking have those cool lightning scars at least! Damn, he hopes so. "Well, that would be cool..." He ignored the look Gardevoir gave him for a moment before he got up, with pain over his whole body slowly getting better. 'Huh, weird.' He shaked his head, his hair puffed up like some anime due to the electricity. "I see you got your strength back, huh? You ungrateful bitch." Darius did not pull back any punches, even more so when someone he helped acts like a little bitch! "Now, I was planning on helping you get up, but I am not touching you again." Darius looked at the big tiger as he struggled to get up, but slowly managed to do so. "See? Strong already." Darius huffed, looking down at the arm that had touched Raikou just to see the skin being red and fucking burned.

'Hey, at least I'll get the cool lightning scars people get when they're struck by lightning.' Darius groaned as, from the big tiger, a masculine and regal voice came out: "Human..." Darius lifted his eyebrows at Raikou: "You... helped me?" Darius looked around, and with sarcasm in his voice, said: "I don't see anyone else around here that has experience with doing surgery to remove those weird purple beads from inside your fucking body, so yes, I did help heal you." Darius slowly walked towards his desk and pulled out a clay pot before chugging the contents of the container: "And I got electrocuted because of it." It fucking hurt every time he tried to move, but this isn't the first time Darius felt this kind of pain.

Well, being shot by a cop with a taser felt like this, but lesser.

'Heh, good times.' Darius smirked as he turned to look at Raikou: "You're not good enough to go around yet, so rest, you fiesty punk." Gardevoir softly approached him and began using [Heal Pulse] right after the potion he drank slowly began working. "I'll ask Shelly to help me apply some burn cream." Thank all Gods he had Butterfree honey to make burn creams! This would definitely help a little with the skin damage he just got from the electric big cat bitch.

"I..." Raikou huffed, his body going down slowly: "Am ashamed... for hurting the one helping me."

"It's chill." Darius rolled his eyes - he definitely wouldn't be saying this if he wasn't able to make medicine that would help him recover completely. And hey, he would get a cool scar out of this, so it's fine in his books. "Not the worst thing someone I was nursing back to health has done to me." Seriously, the orphanage matron had dementia, and sometimes she'd have these bursts of aggression because she'd think everyone was trying to murder her or something. There were a few moments he had to help take care of her, and she'd wake up in the middle of the night to try and hurt him. She had stabbed him this one time. He still has the scar in his left leg! 'Ah... Still loved her, though.' Yeah, she was a good old lady that sadly died slowly, losing parts of herself and hurting others in the process.

"I must pay back your good deeds. That is the law." Raikou said, his body flashing with lightning: "I hereby-" He coughed out, not being able to continue his phrase.

"Okay, okay-" Darius sighed heavily: "-you can pay me back after you're healthy."

Raikou had nothing else to say, resuming to just grumbling softly to himself, still sleepy.

-Scene Cut-

Raikou: Foolish mortal, how dare you touch me!

Darius: *proceeds to ruffle his fur*

Raikou: ...I definitely do not enjoy this.

Darius: *stops patting him*

Raikou: ...who told you to stop?

-Scene Cut-

It was panic.

A hole opened in the sky! Why wouldn't everyone just panic!? From that hole, several of these small dark grey blobs started to fall, and Wally couldn't help but compare them to Grimers and Muks, as well as Dittos and even Gulpins. They were really weird looking, and their colors varied from grey to black. Suddenly, all of the small blobs moved towards one another, forming these bigger blobs of black! "Grimer..." It slowly cried out, making Wally pale. Not because of the Pokemon itself, but because of the deep chilling aura that emanated from these Pokemon.

"Is this thing on...?" A voice echoed out from the skies, or rather, from the hole in the sky. "Good!" A small platform started to lower itself from above, drawing everyone's attention as there were people on top of that platform! "Greetings, bitches, bros, and non-binary hoes. It is I, Dorian Devilus!" The one holding the microphone grinned. Their long dark hair was a contrast to the deep and colorful clothes they were wearing: "But please, call me Dorasium."

'Dorasium...?' Wally swears he heard that name before!

"For those who don't know me - which, frankly, are you living under a rock or something? Boring I tell you - I am the most beautiful and fabulous Admin of Team Plague~!" The individual's voice carried their grin. It was audible how smug they were at the moment: "And like a good Admin, I must make everyone fear our name~!" Under their eyes, these long claws pushed against the hole in the sky, drawing everyone's attention as these big red eyes shone upon them: "See? Byonix-kun is very excited to meet you all~!"

This pale steel-like jaw pushed against the boundaries of the hole, a bubble-like energy surrounding the platform as the jaw opened to release this deep crimson mist.

"Ah, such a gentleman he is, right?" The beast growled, his jaws closing as he pulled back. "Now, we don't want anyone to leave yet, for everyone here needs to at least experience a little bit of... pain."

"Wally, quick!" His mother pulled his arms, pulling him towards the house. Wally snapped out of his thoughts as she shoved a bag on his arms alongside a small emergency teleporter: "This will bring you to a safe place, stay there, and don't leave, okay?" She did not let him even speak. She pressed the little pen-like device, and it glowed. There was a moment when their eyes met, and she smiled. At the same time, Wally could see the red fog outside the window approaching quickly.

"Mom-"

And everything went white.
