20: Overflow

Groaning, Raikou tried to move.

Immediately, he felt his body refuse to cooperate, and he knew he was either at the brink of death or severely drugged. Raikou knew of this. It happened many times before due to either his temperament or because of his foolishness. While Suicune treats water and Entei is out there looking out for volcanoes, he himself just goes around the world and does what comes to mind. Mostly, he would be followed by his retinue of little Pokemon friends. Mostly consisted of Electric Pokemon that liked to follow him around, Electrikes, Manectrics, Luxios, Luxarays, Electabuzzs, Magnamites, Magnatons, Magnazones, Jolteons, and other Pokemon, such as the little Emolgas, Gligars, and a few little Gliscors as well.

Raikou had been separated from his posse by a weird Pokemon he did not know the origins of it. It did not feel natural. It felt... weird.

As he put all his strength on moving his tired body, Raikou felt only pain - that was until this voice called out: "Oh hey hey hey-" Immediately, something touched his mouth, and he didn't have the strength to fight against whatever he was being fed. "-there, you'll be fine now..." He had to swallow. It was either that or having it go down his fur, and he's never having that happen to him! "Good boy." He felt almost offended at that praise, and he did his best to open his eyes. It took a lot of effort to open them, but as he did, he saw a human. Immediately, he tried to move, but this time, his whole body felt... numb. "See? That wasn't hard, was it... Oh, good morning." The human went from speaking to his body to looking him in the eyes. For Raikou, everything was blurry, and he could barely see anything beyond two feet from his face: "Now, don't try to move, or your stitches will open."

His what now?

"You had it rough, huh? Who even did this to you..." The human softly touched his lightning body, and Raikou felt uncomfortable, but he could not even blast him away with lightning because of his tired body: "I don't even know what rank you are..." If Raikou had the strength to, he'd laugh - he is beyond the ranks of normal Pokemon, he was born out of Mother, and she made him perfect! He felt his body grow weaker and weaker until his consciousness started to blurry, and he felt like he was about to pass out...

Which he did.

Darius: Good puppy! *Aggressively pets lightning tiger doggo*

Raikou: I do not enjoy this. *tail wags aggressively*

Cerberus: So... you have chosen death.

Darius sighed heavily to himself.

The surgery was a success. And now you might be asking yourself: "Wait, damn, there was a fucking surgery!?" And I regret to inform you that yes, he had to perform surgery on the big fucking tiger dog. Raikou had a lot of tissue damage as well as internal bleeding! Darius used the best knock up drug he had alongside Gardevoir using Hypnosis as he got a whole pot of green powder from the move [Sleep Powder] from both Leavanny and one of the Torterras that knew the move. The sheer power of the Grass Type energy in that powder almost put Darius to sleep himself. He only didn't because he used his own Grass Energy to stop himself from sleeping or inhaling the powder, and it only worked because Raikou was already severely hurt... What hurt him, however, a Poison Type!

How did he know? Well, among the internal organs of the Legendary were in the beginning process of necrosis, and the poison that seemed just to be recent too... He found a small purple bead that had these deep purple vein-like roots that were physically growing out of it and attaching itself to Raikou's pulsing heart, so Darius pulled it out because it was clearly causing severe harm to the Pokemon. Next, he did a good overview of the Pokemon's entire body, finding several of these small beads, which reminded him a lot of the move Leech Seed, but this move also poisoned the enemy Pokemon instead of just leeching their vitality. Only a really powerful Poison type Pokemon could do something like this, and only one at a Legendary rank could do this. 'Did that big purple snek do this?' The Pokemon Darius was thinking about was the Eternatus.

'Maybe that mosquito thing did this?' The Pokemon Darius was thinking about was named Nagandel, and it is an Ultra Beast.

Regardless, he removed about 106 of these small beads, putting them in a stone mortar. After he removed them from amongst the big Pokemon's internal organs, he closed the big guy after applying his good ol' Anti-Poison routine! A salve made using Pecha Berry, Lum Berry, Kebia Berry, and a few Cure Berries, these were really small red spheres that resembled blue berries from his past world, but instead it had the color red. They were all Berries that helped the body fight most types of poison, venoms, and other neurotoxins.

After taking these weird things off - and almost getting poisoned himself, thankfully, he had Poison Type affinity, making him able to not only draw out the poison from Raikou's body but also stop it from reaching him! - of the poor Pokemon's body, he sewed him shut with freshly made thread washed in Life Dew water as well as in a bunch of concoctions that stimulated healing, just to make sure! The surgery had to be done using these really sharp bone knives and small bone pincers. He was only able to get these thanks to Linoone and the Zigzagoons who brought him a bunch of bones and other random things too.

With the surgery done, Darius focused on helping the Legendary Pokemon heal and get better!

...

"Impossible for my life to be... lame?" That sounded way more like a threat than something good, what the fuck!? Did he just get Plot Armor? Did he just become the fucking protagonist? He doesn't want that! Fuck no! "Shit..." Darius could only hold on the small panic attack he was having. Keeping himself grounded was easy enough to do... What? He's 20, but he's very mature for his age, like he was forced to grow up quickly if he wanted to survive. His emotional stability is held by a few things, and although he managed to cope with being thrown into an unknown world, he's only not breaking down right now because he has things to keep his mind busy.

If he didn't have Cerberus, Arachne, Jasper, Shelly, and the entire herd, he'd be fucking having a really bad time.

"Okay, okay..." He immediately began to distract himself so as not to think about anything right now other than things he could see. "The Energy Core." Right! It got upgraded, right?

'This...' This is very OP! Depending on his use, he can make miraculous medicines and so much more! Imagine him using [Energy Technique - Energy Share] to one of his Pokemon and immediately recover all of their energy after an arduous battle. Or maybe, with so much energy, he can even make himself a Mega Stone? 'Yeah, as if I'd be able to do that.' He scoffed a little before looking back at the Raikou, sleeping soundless and still. "Well, might as well-" he used [Energy Overflow], and immediately, his whole being was consumed by light.

Cerberus, who was a little ways away, Arachne, Shelly, Gardevoir, and Kirlia all couldn't help but watch in awe as this pure and bright energy overflowed out of their leader. "..." Darius' body didn't change much, maybe except his tattoos were glowing white and his eyes were too, except that? He felt light and warm and- Oh fuck, he's floating. 'Focus!' He turned to the Raikou, clenched his fist, and used his [Intermediate Pokemon Healer] skill. There was this pale white light drop that fell from his fingertip into the Raikou's body, and it visibly started recuperating. He kept doing this for the entire minute that was the duration of this powerful power-up ability, and soon after, he was exhausted!

He took at Raikou (whose fur started to look more lush and healthy), looked at Cerberus, and groaned before lyind down on the ground and saying: "I need a nap." Before passing out.

Darius: *glowing* *ascending*

Life is never easy.

Even more so when you're fucking fragile like a fucking flower!

"Wally, for the last time, you're not healthy enough." His mother said, placing her hand on his shoulder much to his displeasure. Why? Because her hands were dirty! She was just messing around with the flowers in the backyard (Something he loved doing too, but wasn't allowed anymore) and her hands were dirty, so when she placed her hands on his shoulder, he could see how his clean clothes got a little dirty.

He wouldn't mind if it wasn't his favorite shirt!

"Mom~!" A little annoyed, Wally patted down his shoulder as to get rid of the dirt. She just simply smiled, having once again refused to let him out so he could contact the Pokemon League and take the aptitude test to see if he could become a Pokemom Trainer. The official age one could become one was 16, but now, at 17, he has taken several mock tests, and he knows he is qualified to become a trainer! He has memorized all types alongside their weaknesses and strengths, and he has memorized a lot of information about Pokemon and the wilderness! He was about to talk to her again when her Pokenav watch started blaring this horrible beeping sound, flashing red.

Her face went from confusion to pale dread. At the same time, they looked over towards Petalburg City, and there...

Is that a fucking hole in the sky!?
