[Sfw or Nsfw] Pokemon room

[gonmorow]

Hey, Killua! I wanna show you this really cool room I found! But first, it's going to be pretty far. I have an idea, though! Why don't we use your skateboards?

[So they did -- Now they're coasting down the hallway, Gon on Killua's old skateboard and Killua on his new one, and the only sound is the drone of wheels rolling underfoot. It's a bit boring, staring at the same ground for a long time, but when they spot the outstretched door Gon leads the way all the way down to it.]

Now, before you go in, you're gonna wanna close your eyes and take a deep breath or you'll get really dizzy!

[He enters the door and is met with a stone room lit by torches. The exit is obscured by a waterfall. Gon takes one look at Killua and smiles before leaping through the waterfall, coming out a Rockruff on the other side.]

Come on out! I wanna see what you turn into!

it's like the pokémon mascot. it's en electric mouse, and it's even blonde like him. *he snickers, cramming down one last berry to ensure he's at full health before they go on. he, too, feels the rejuvenating power of the food working through him, restoring his energy.*

think we can take on the forest now?

[gonmorow]

Maybe I'll look it up later! I'm sure there's something about it online.

[Taking one more berry, Gon feels full, easing himself off of them. Now, he was determined, ready for the forest and all the wonderful things that must be inside.]

I'm ready! Are you?

[devil_or_angle]

*killua digs his paws into the ground and bristles his fur, static electricity sparking from him in anticipation.* let's go!

*in a burst of light he dashes forward, rushing through the underbrush. the bushes rustle in his wake, hinting that they're not alone in the forest.*

[gonmorow]

Alright!

[Gon follows suit, taking off wildly down the forest trail at a speed not quite matching Killua's. When he hears the bushes rustling, he hops backwards, sniffing at the air. Something else was here..]

Hello?

[devil_or_angle]

*killua skids to a halt when he hears gon call out, dashing back to join him by the shaking bush.*

didja find something?

*his question is answered when a creature that looks like an overturned tulip comes waddling out of the bushes, waving its two leaf-arms to try and ward them off in what amounts to a pitiful display. killua scoffs, digging his paws into the ground again to gather electricity.*

c'mon, we can take this guy!

[gonmorow]

[The emerging creature looks rather frail, like a small gust of wind could knock it over with ease. Gon's glad he got turned into a dog compared to something like this.

Cued by Killua, Gon focuses his power in his neck and sends sharp rocks flying out, each hitting it in the head one by one. It gets badly scratched and already looks like it's about done for.]

Now I feel kinda bad...

[devil_or_angle]

*killua's electricity fizzles out when gon's stones nearly slice the creature in half. he starts to feel a little bad himself, grimacing over at his friend.*

maybe this one's too weak... *he starts, but is cut off by the sprout coughing up a thick cloud of some kind of... pollen? killua headbutts gon out of the way and gets a faceful of the stuff, which makes him instantaneously drowsy, tottering on his feet as he sputters.*

d-dammit, what is this stuff...?

[gonmorow]

[Gon nods, but is caught off guard by two things happening at once: The unexpected dispense of a sparkly, powdery substance into the air, and Killua hitting him. He tumbles out of the way and, watching the way Killua reacted to the substance, tries not to breathe.

Gon would have to use his rocks from a greater distance at the expense of his accuracy. To make up for it, he throws more, slowly chipping away at the Bellsprout's health with each meager hit. After attacking he checks up on Killua again, who doesn't look like he's in good shape.]

What happened? Are you okay?

[devil_or_angle]

*killua's legs crumple underneath him, his body heavy as lead as it slumps to the ground. he's reminded of the many times he was drugged as a child and passed out in the middle of playtime, except now, he has an idea of what's happening. gon's voice is muffled, almost sounding to him like a series of barks instead of words before his lagging brain deciphers the meaning.*

y-yeah, i'm...

*his unsure reassurance is cut off by a wide, feline yawn, fangs baring before his head drops to his paws, vision blurring and shutting out as sleep overtakes him.*

[gonmorow]

Killua! Get up! No!

[When he sees what happened to his poor boyfriend, his anger sparks and he launches himself at the Bellsprout once the dust has cleared, tackling it and frantically slapping its face with his paws until it falls. The Bellsprout is not long for this world, because it faints right away.

Pulling himself off of it, he quickly returns to Killua's side, giving him a nudge with his nose.]
.
Killua, the battle's over. Are you okay...?

[devil_or_angle]

*it takes killua another few minutes to wake himself up, struggling against the heavy blanket of unconsciousness weighing him down. he can still hear gon barking distantly, and he internally propels himself toward him, his limbs twitching and curling in his sleep. but only once all the pollen escapes from his lungs do his eyelids slowly lift.*

mm... hmm?

[gonmorow]

Killua!

[He buries his head in Killua's side until he slowly stirs awake. Hearing his meow perks his ears up and he stands up on his feet, getting a good look at the sleepy Killua.]

Did it hurt you? I got scared that you were dying..how do you feel? I wish we had hands to carry more of those berries..

[devil_or_angle]

*killua slowly rises to his feet, shaking the fog from his head and reaching his forepaws out with his rump in the air in a big stretch.*

'm fine... it just put me to sleep. *he steps forward and gives gon a reassuring nudge, then scoffs over at the crumpled plant a few feet away.* i've been drugged with way worse before.

[gonmorow]

Only sleep? [He sighs with relief and bumps his nose against Killua's.] That's good. That'll teach us to be careful, I guess. Should we keep going?

[He orients himself toward the path they had been aiming for.]

I'm much more ready this time!

[devil_or_angle]

yeah, i think i'm good. *he yawns again, then gives his whole body a thorough shake, tail lashing back and forth with renewed energy.* let's go!

[gonmorow]

[Satisfied by the apparent return of his partner's energy, Gon starts walking. Little paws displace twigs and grass, making more sound than he thought.]

By the way, you're really cute like this. And you sleep like an angel, heheh!

[devil_or_angle]

tch, so you just watched me sleep? *killua scoffs, but he can imagine he did look pretty cute, curled up like one of the kittens in the cat room. he blushes at the thought of gon seeing him like that, prone and vulnerable. embarrassed, he gives him a bap on the nose.* you're still a stupid dog!

[gonmorow]

Yeah, a stupid dog that's in love, that is.

[His ears flush warm and he giggles.]

What kind of challenge do you think we'll run into next? I know we can handle it together! Because it's you I'm doing this with.

[devil_or_angle]

c'mon, don't just say things like that, dummy. *killua blushes even more, his tail lashing back and forth like it does when he's flustered in the cat room.* maybe we can find something stronger to fight next... or...

*his ear suddenly twitches, picking up the sound of approaching footfalls. whatever it is, it sounds much bigger than their last opponent. immediately he comes up with a plan to give them the advantage, nudging gon toward the bushes beside them.*

quick, let's hide and ambush it!

[gonmorow]

[Gon notices his tail lashing and a knowing smile appears on his face. Killua made the cutest cat he's ever seen.

When he hears footsteps, Gon initially braces himself to take it head on before Killua suggests hiding. It was definitely a better tactic, he decides as he takes his position. The footsteps are even closer now, like the source is just behind a couple trees.]

[devil_or_angle]

*killua jumps into the bushes with gon, crouched in preparation to pounce when the moment's right. but when their enemy finally emerges from the trees, he turns to gon with a panicked look.*

it's a human!

[gonmorow]

A..human?!? Is someone else in this room?

[He peeks, and sure enough, there they are. A trainer who he doesn't recognize. Fear and excitement pumps through his veins. Gon turns to Killua and whispers.]

What should we do? Still wanna go through with the ambush? Or do you think they'd help us?

[devil_or_angle]

*killua's fur stands on end, alarm coursing through his blood as the human stops in their path and looks around, clearly sensing their presence. their face is blurred, indicating they're not a real person from the airship but a part of the room. killua pushes gon further back into the bushes, hissing,*

they probably want to catch us! we should just make a break for it--

*an unintelligible shout rings out through the air, and in a flash of light another pokémon appears -- one which resembles a menacing black hellhound with curved horns adorning its head. upon materializing, it charges straight for the bushes.*

--shit!

[gonmorow]

[Gon stumbles back, losing his footing. The loud noises just past the bushes send his heart pounding and he turns around, making a run for it.

However, being fully evolved, the hound is much faster than the baby Pokémon, quickly gaining on them. It catches up to Gon and leans down, chomping down on his back leg and forcing out a strangled yelp at the horrific sting. In too much pain to move from his spot, Gon just barely holds himself up, on the edge of fainting. He weakly ejects rocks at the bigger dog in self defense but they don't seem to scratch it almost at all. The only thing he succeeds in is making it even madder than before. Was going in here a mistake?]

Grrraaaaaggghhh, get away, Killua! It's leagues stronger than us!

[It swoops in, its sharp teeth coming down on him like a serrated guillotine. Gon hurts his throat screaming as blood pours down his leg and side, badly mangled by the bigger dog. The pain is enough to make him pass out.

When the trainer comes through the bushes, they chuck a pink, yellow and blue ball at him and, in a flash of light, he's pulled into the ball. It shakes twice, then makes a small confirmation sound. The trainer seems excited, stuffing the ball away in their bag.]

[devil_or_angle]

*faced with a much-too-powerful opponent, killua once again is overtaken by the voice of illumi in his head commanding him to keep running mechanically onward. but the scent of gon's hot blood gushing out melts the ice in killua's veins, plunging him into burning terror.*

gon!

*he whips around, but the trainer has already captured his friend, confining him to a tiny sphere in their bag. he wants to fight back, but after seeing what the hellhound did to him, he can't imagine he'll be able to do anything but get caught as well. and so, he's forced to follow illumi's advice.*

dammit!

*while the trainer is distracted praising their pokémon for the capture, killua takes off down the path and darts into the underbrush, praying the hellhound won't be able to follow. he has to come up with a plan to free gon from the trainer's ball or he'll be stuck in this room forever!*
