Bloody Memory

Max was speechless, shocked, and almost in denial.

"W-what are you saying? Y-you're joking r-right?" He hardly said after a moment.

[For you, I wish I was.]

"No no, you're messing with me. Hehe, that's it, you got revenge on me for teasing you. Good one, Scarlet." He speculated nervously.

[*sigh*]

Scarlet then scanned the woods around with her powers until she found a small animal that she brought close to her, which was a small bird. Max looked at the bird that was trapped by her psychic energy in confusion until Scarlet clenched her hand, making the bird being crushed into a tiny chunk of deformed meat in a bloody explosion.

"What the fuck!?" Max exclaimed, backing up more against the tree.

[See master? I don't feel anything about killing living creatures. In fact, when it comes to humans, I feel… almost excited.] She explained while throwing what was remaining of the bird offs the cliff.

"T-that can't be true. T-the Scarlet I know wouldn't do that."

[… The Scarlet you know was half a façade. I didn't want you to know about this.]

"Why? You shouldn't have hidden something like that from me! Fuck!" Max blurted, slowly seeing that she was serious and getting a bit scared of her.

[Because I truly love you, master. Would you have loved me the same if you knew about the real me?]

"…"

Max didn't know what to retort to that. She was right, maybe he wouldn't have loved her like now if he knew that her gardevoir was a remorseless psychopath. Then, there was a moment of silence, with Max trying to assimilate what was going on.

"Why, Scarlet? What happened to you?"

[You already know. Abandoned by my family, being tracked down by humans for my rarity... But those are only small parts of what happened to me. If it was just for that, my life wouldn't have been so bad. Reality is a lot darker than that.]

"What is that reality you're talking about?"

[I guess I can tell you. You'll have a better idea of who I am.] She answered while floating towards him.

Now being a bit scared of her, Max flinched a bit when she approached.

[Come on, master. I understand how you feel but you have nothing to fear of me. You know I won't ever hurt you.]

"I'm sorry, Scarlet, but it could be a lie too."

[*sigh* Would it convince you if I shared my feelings with you? That way, you'll see that I'm telling the truth.] She suggested him, a bit hurt.

One way or another, Max couldn't escape or fight against her if she wanted to kill him. He was trapped and had no other choice but to complied if he wanted to stay alive.

"… A-alright."

[Thanks, master. I understand that it can be a stressful moment for you.]

Max then let Scarlet approached and kneeled before him. Looking at her eyes, Max could already see caring and loving eyes, not showing any trace of wickedness. But again, it could be a façade. Scarlet then put his hand on her crest.

"is it not a sensitive part of you?" Max inquired.

[It is, but it's the only place where I can share my true and sincere feeling with you. It works best with closed eyes.]

A bit reluctantly, Max did as told and closed his eyes. Then, after a moment, he was invaded by intense feelings. Love, caring, devotion, friendship... Every good emotion that an intelligent creature could feel for another one was there, overwhelming his senses. Some images of moments of them being together were filling his head with not a single trace of any ill intentions. After she let go of his hand, Scarlet wiped off a tear that had escaped one of Max's eyes.

[Do you believe me now, master?]

Max was still a bit shocked about all of this, but couldn't deny that she indeed loved him, willing to give her own life to protect him.

"… I-I do, Scarlet," Max admitted, slowly retaliating from the pool of emotion he just experienced.

[Thanks, master. Do you accept me for who I am?]

Max was a bit hesitant about that question.

"… I can't say that I approve… but I love you, Scarlet. It sure is shocking to hear that the one you love is a killing machine, but... I can't stop loving you like that."

[I can also be a loving machine too you know.] She softly jested.

"Hehe, yeah, I know that. Alright, I think I'm ready to hear about your story now."

[I could tell you, but I think it will be more immersive if you were to experience it yourself. You'll have a better understanding of how this world is.]

"If it's possible, then I don't mind. I also want to know how humans treated you."

[Okay. I must warn you, though; it's not for fluffy heart and I don't want you to have pity on me after that. I already accepted my past.]

"… Okay."

[Then be ready for a little trip in hell.]

Scarlet then placed herself in a reverse-mounted position with her legs beside him, put her hands on Max's head, and put him into a trance, blacking him out into the darkness.

When Max opened his eyes again, he was in front of a green gardevoir and a gallade holding an egg in the middle of a forest.

"Where am I?" Max asked, not understanding where he was.

[You are in my memory, master. I projected our astral form into it so you can see it.] Scarlet explained, who was next to him.

After he looked at her and himself, he saw that both were a bit more translucent than normal.

"Astral projection?"

[Yes. A method to travel into someone's mind.]

"Oh, okay. But what is this? Where did you get us?"

[We're at the moment of my birth. The egg you see is mine, held by what you could call 'parents'.]

Getting his attention back to the gardevoir and gallade, he saw that they were looking quite happy with their egg. After a moment, the egg started to shake and crack, with Scarlet's parents getting impatient to see their child.

"At least I will have the chance to see how cute you were when you hatched," Max commented with a faint smile.

It quickly disappeared however when he saw that she didn't respond and wasn't really into joking right now. Then, just like Max, the smile of Scarlet's parents quickly faded away when they saw what was inside their egg. After the egg was smashed into pieces, Max saw a cute-looking ralts appearing from it. Her color however was totally different than expected, her hair was orange and the horns on its head were blue.

"… Ralts!" The little pokemon exclaimed at the sight of her parents.

Max then could see that both of the gardevoir and gallade were now looking at their child with disdain.

Then, all went black.

"Your parents…" Max started.

[Already hated me the second I was born.] Scarlet finished.

Max wanted to say something reassuring but wasn't able to. What could he possibly tell at this moment? A few seconds later, they reappeared again in the middle of the forest. This time, Scarlet's mother was holding her with her father beside them passing through a group of other gardevoir and gallade.

"Gardevoir!"

"Ga, gallade!"

All of them were looking at them with disgust while yelled their name angrily. Some of them were even throwing things at them.

"Why were they reacting like this?" Max inquired, a bit angry.

[They never saw a reverse shiny before. For them, as well as for my parents, I was a nature's mistake, an abomination.]

Seeing Scarlet's parents getting further in the woods, out of reach and sight of the others, Scarlet and Max followed the couple. After a little while, the gardevoir and gallade arrived close to a big river with strong currents. As the mother approached at the edge of it, she raised Scarlet above it.

{Ralts!} Ralts Scarlet exclaimed, thinking she was playing with her.

"Garde, devoir."

Then, to Max's surprise, the gardevoir let go of Scarlet in the river.

"Ralts! Ralts!" Scarlet yelled in panic, being carried away by the current.

"What the… Why!?" Max blurted while dashing toward the river.

[It's no use, master.] Scarlet stated as their surroundings went black again. [It's just a projection.]

"Why the fuck did they do that?"

[Calm down, master. You have to get a hold of yourself since the worst didn't come yet.]

When the forest reappeared, they saw Scarlet on the edge of the river, unconscious. After a moment, she opened her eyes, hardly stood up while coughing some water, and got away from the river. Almost at night, they saw her shivering from cold.

"Ralts…" Scarlet expressed sadly, starting to cry.

[At this moment, I hardly believed what was happening to me. So for a while, I tried to get back to my parents.]

After a little while of walk in the woods, Scarlet was getting colder and colder when a houndour pooped out of behind a tree.

"Houn!" The fire/dark pokemon barked at Scarlet.

"Ralts!" Scarlet exclaimed, scared.

The houndour then attacked Scarlet and tried to bite her. Dodging it in extremis, Scarlet ran away as quickly as possible to lose it. Not very far, Scarlet was lucky enough to find a hollow tree with an entrance at the base of the trunk. The hole was so small that even Scarlet hardly passed through. But in the end, after she barely managed to escape the pokemon, she was safe in here.

[I was lucky that that houndour didn't know any fire-type move yet. He could have just burned me to crisp from the outside otherwise.] Scarlet commented.

"It was probably too young for that."

[Maybe.]

Then, both Max and Scarlet disappeared from the scene with scarlet coiling into a ball and starting to madly cry before reappearing beside ralts Scarlet walking through the woods, alone.

[For a while, all I was doing was trying to survive while looking for my parents.]

The next scene was about Scarlet eating berries and fruits, with most food poisoning her because she didn't know her diet yet, and hiding at night. After a while, as she was getting skinny from starvation, she finally discovered a berry that was good for her and filling her with energy. Now that she knew what she needed to eat, she didn't have much trouble with food afterward. Then, one day, ralts Scarlet was cornered by an ekans.

Scarlet was trapped with nowhere to run with the ekans blocking her, staring at her menacingly while shaking its tail. Scarlet was paralyzed with fear.

"Was he about to eat you?"

[No. Pokemon don't eat other pokemon. I was just probably on his territory and didn't like it. Or he just wanted to attack and kill me for fun.]

"Pokemon do that?"

[It's pretty uncommon, but it happens sometimes.]

As the ekans was slowly approaching Scarlet, mostly to play with its prey, the ralts couldn't bear the stress and wet herself in fear. When the ekans launched himself at her for the fatal blow, Scarlet raised her hands in front of her in desperation, only for her power to manifest and used confusion on the poison pokemon. Being weak against psychic-type moves, the attack hurt and injured cerebrally quite heavily the pokemon, making it flee in pain.

"That was close," Max said, glad that nothing horrible happened to her.

[That's when I understood that I could do things with powers I didn't know of until that moment. Since my parent didn't really raise me, there were a lot of things that I wasn't aware of yet. I had to learn everything all by myself.]

Max was then transported through time, seeing Scarlet searching for food, hiding, and now, trying to reproduce what she did with the ekans. For the first couple of tries, she wasn't able to, until one day, she managed to manifest her powers again to lift some berries she had gathered. After another black scene, Max appeared in front of a reverse shiny kirlia. At this point, Scarlet was not only able to reproduce the Confusion move now, but also to master it. As she was walking in the woods looking for berries, she was attacked by a nidorino. Now used to be attacked, she quickly got into a defensive stance, ready to attack. The nidorino first move was to charge at her, which she barely dodged, her enemy being faster than expected. She then tried to get him with Confusion but wasn't able to since he was moving quite a lot.

"Why were you not able to get him? Are psychic moves not supposed to be powerful?"

[It is. Psychic moves are almost overpowered, but with only one big flaw.]

"Which is?"

[Unless it's a projectile or a physical move, an attack like Confusion requires a constant eye lock on to work. So if the target is always moving and very fast, they are very hard to use.]

Since Scarlet only knew Confusion at that moment, she could only hope for the pokemon to stop long enough to hit at least once. After she dodged another charging attack, Scarlet thought it was the moment she was hoping for, but instead, faced a Poison Sting attack that directly hit her. Unfortunately for her, alongside the damage and injury she received, she got poisoned. Depending on the strength of the attack and the resilience of the receiver, poisoning wasn't necessarily lethal. But due to the strength difference between them, even the first seconds of poisoning were incredibly painful for her, which made her fall on the ground with her life being slowly eaten away by the poison. Thinking she couldn't defend herself anymore, the nidorino got closer to finish off the intruder. When close enough, Scarlet used the remaining of her strength to release the most powerful Confusion attack she could do. Got hit by surprise, the nidorino back off from her. Being quite resilient and stronger than her, it didn't damage him very much, but enough to be careful. Wondering if he should still try to finish her off, he decided that she would die anyway, so left her alone, not wanting to spend uselessly more energy on someone that was about to die anyway.

After he left, Scarlet tried to stand up but was unable to, being too weak from the poison. Sensing her end approaching, she closed her eyes and waiting for the inevitable while falling unconscious. Strangely to her, she was able to open her eyes again. When she looked around, she found herself in the shadow of a tree, protected by the sunray of the strong sun of the day. Trying to stand up, she was only able to get on her feet for only a second before falling again, being too weak.

Then, a shiny phantump, a bonsly, a meowstic, and a whimsicott appeared in front of her.

"Bonsly, Bonsly."

"Meowstic!"

"What are they saying Scarlet?"

[They say that they found me almost dead in the woods and they help me by getting me some pecha berries, which cures poison condition.]

As she said that, the pokemon handed Scarlet a pecha berry to her, saying that she should eat one more to be completely healed from poison.

"Kirlia." Scarlet thanked.

"Can you make me understand conversations?"

[I can translate as they speak if you think that's important.]

"That would be nice. Thanks."

"Whim, whimsicott?"

[What happened to you?] Scarlet translated.

[I was attacked by a pink horned pokemon, nothing more to say.] The kirlia Scarlet Explained.

[Must be the nidorino.] The phantump guessed.

[He's mean to everyone around here.] The meowstic pointed out.

[I can see that.] Scarlet replied.

[Don't worry, as long as we are together, you can count on us.] The bonsly reassured her.

[Thanks, I guess.]

[What are you doing here anyway?] The psychic cat asked.

[Looking for my parents.]

[How come?] The bonsly wondered.

[I don't remember correctly but, I remember me and my mother with a river and…]

The others then looked at each other, having a pretty good idea of what happened to her.

[That's… unfortunate.] The whimsicott said, feeling bad for her.

[We can help you with that. But if you want to go look for them, you will have to get stronger. Luckily for you, meowstic and whimsicott here already have been with a trainer so, they can help you train.] The tiny tree pokemon explained.

[What is a… trainer?] Scarlet asked.

[Oh boy… you have a lot to learn then.]

Again, the scenery went black again.

[After that, everything went pretty alright. They taught me everything that was worth knowing. How to survive, about trainers and how it made them stronger and wasn't that bad, despite being with a spoiled brat. The meowstic even taught me the Psybeam move.]

Max then reappeared in the woods with Scarlet and the meowstic training together.

[But it was only the calm before the storm.]

[You're doing great. You have great potential.] The meowstic praised while blocking and dodging Scarlet attacks.

As they were training, the bonsly appeared from a bush, panicking.

[Quick, hide. The hunters are here again.]

[What? I thought that that nidorino scared them away last time.] The meowstic said.

[They are not the same.]

[That's no good. Follow me, we can't let them get us.]

Scarlet then followed the meowstic and the bonsly to hide somewhere. They all then arrived at a large tree that had a hollow entry higher on its trunk, where the whimsicott and phantump were in already. After a little while, an absol appeared, searching around. After it pointed its snout towards the hollow entrance, it started to bark while putting her forepaws on the tree.

"Absol, Ab, absol!"

[Oh no… they found us. What are we going to do?] The whimsicott whined.

[I don't know.] The meowstic replied.

As the absol was still barking, a small group of suspicious-looking humans appeared from the distance.

"Did you find anything boy?" One of them asked.

"Absol!" The pokemon confirmed while pointing at the hole on the tree.

"Some are hiding in there? Okay, cut it down."

Obeying, the absol used Psycho Cut on the trunk, slicing it in one shot, making the tree fall on the ground shortly after. After it landed loudly on the ground, the group exited the tree and tried to run to escape them. Unfortunately, their run was cut short by a luxray, blocking their path. They were now surrounded and unable to escape.

"Good boy." The man praised while petting his absol's head.

"Looks like we have a good catch." Another one said.

"Indeed. Oh, and would you look at that." Yet another man said, looking like the boss who had noticed Scarlet. "That's a quite rare sight we have. An orange kirlia."

Paralyzed, the group was only able to stick to each other in fear, hoping that a miracle will happen.

"Alright, take that kirlia." The boss ordered.

"What about the others?" One lackey asked.

"We don't need them. They are worthless compared to that kirlia. Shoo them away, luxray."

[Alright, we only need that ralts, we don't need the others.] The luxray announced aggressively.

[That means, we can go?] The whimsicott said.

[Unless you want to have the same fate as that ralts, which I highly don't recommend, you should get away before they change their mind.]

They then all looked at each other, before looking at Scarlet.

[Wait, you don't actually thinking about that, aren't you?] Scarlet said.

[I'm sorry kirlia, but we have a chance to survive. It will be stupid to not take it.] The meowstic announced before leaving with the others.

[No, you can't do this!] Scarlet blurted, trying to chase after them.

[You aren't going anywhere.] The luxray said, blocking her.

"Good job, luxray. Okay guys, take that kirlia."

With that, some of them moved toward Scarlet.

[Leave me alone!] The psychic/fairy-type pokemon exclaimed, tossing a Psybeam toward them, but miss.

"Luxray." The boss ordered.

After nodding, the luxray then used thundershock on Scarlet, making her fall on the ground, paralyzed. The other then chained her and took her away.

[Help! Help me!] Scarlet yelled.

The only thing that Scarlet saw was the group that she used to call friends looking at her being taking away. The look on their face was saying that they didn't want this, but cared more about their own safety than the others. The astral projection of Max and Scarlet followed the group for a moment until they arrived at a truck with a cage in the back, where they tossed Scarlet in before leaving.

[That's where the real hell began.] Said Scarlet after everything went black.

The next scene was Scarlet in a cage inside a room of a hideout with a few other captive pokemon, with each of them having something in particular, like a shiny riolu or a white deerling in summer. In her cage, Scarlet had her hands restrained by chains and had a device on her head to suppress her psychic powers. She was covered in bruises from her multiple tries to escape and was getting skinnier due to malnutrition.

"Those bastards," Max growled.

Then, shortly after, a stranger had entered the room with a man of the hunter gang.

"We have a few choices for everyone's pleasure. But our main discover is this one." Said the man while knocking on scarlet's cage.

"Hmm, it sure does look interesting. An orange Kirlia, you don't see that every day." Said the stranger.

"But she's quite expensive, you know, for being quite unique."

"Let's see first how it is."

The man then opened Scarlet's cage and threw her out roughly.

"Hmm, she doesn't look very healthy." Said the stranger as Scarlet raised to her knees.

"We are running low on a budget these days, so we had to cut somewhere."

"I see. A couple of days of stuffing and it will be fine."

The stranger then goes to touch her, but Scarlet replied by biting him.

"Ow! You worthless piece of…"

The stranger wanted to slap her but was unable to when she tackled him.

"Hmpf!" Exclaimed the stranger, holding his belly in mild pain. "I'm sorry, but I don't want an undisciplined pokemon like this. I'll go check somewhere else." He added before leaving.

"… Thanks a lot, you little shit. You made me lose a sell."

The man then punched Scarlet across the face, making her fall to the ground. The man then goes for multiple kicks on every part of her. Face, arms, legs, sides, everything was getting severely injured. As she was bleeding from the hits, the boss of the gang entered the room.

"Calm down you idiot. A dead pokemon can't be sold."

"Sorry, but this little shit just made us lose a sell."

"So that's why that little prick left mad. Get that one in its cage. I guess someone will be deprived of food again." The boss said as he left.

"Get in there, you fucker." The man growled before throwing Scarlet violently in her cage, making Max almost nauseous from the abuse.

Scarlet was barely able to move as her blood was flowing on the cage floor. As she was about to lose consciousness, a shiny meditite whispered to her.

[Hey, miss kirlia, are you still with us?] The pokemon to Scarlet, not far from her.

[No…] Scarlet answered weakly.

[I can help you. I know the move Recover and I think it will profit you to learn it.]

[Why… do you even… bother helping me?]

[… Because, I already have been in your place, so I know what it's like.]

[…Okay.]

[I didn't really want him to help me, but at this point, only survival was meaningful.] Scarlet explained to Max.

[All you have to do is to focus your vital force on where you're hurt. Since you're a psychic type, it should be easier for you.] The meditite instructed.

[Okay.]

Scarlet then painfully sat up, pressed her back against the cage wall, and tried to focus on where it was painful, which was everywhere. Luckily for her, she had no life-threatening injuries, so all of them were able to heal by themselves by the time she learns the move. With the present Scarlet going for fast scenes scrolling, Max could see that kirlia Scarlet tried to get hit only lightly after every couple of days to try to learn Recover until the speed goes to normal when she was about to succeed. Scarlet has now been in that cage for a couple of months and feeling ready, she tried to angering her keepers.

"You little shit! I thought you learned your lesson since now." A man that was bringing her food yelled when she threw her meal at him. "Come here! Since you seem to not understand properly, a little stronger discipline teaching is required."

The man then grabbed Scarlet by her hair and pulled her out violently, making her land hard on the concrete floor. The man then goes for multiple kicks again, adding some throwing along the way. When he was on the edge of killing her, he stopped and put her back into her cage by throwing her violently on the cage wall.

"Next time, maybe I won't stop. Think about it." He said before leaving.

Hardly breathing, Scarlet goes to focus all of her vital force on her entire body. This time, she had to succeed, otherwise, she will probably die from internal hemorrhages. But Scarlet was confident that she will succeed. Thanks to the fact that she was beaten almost every day, she could get over her pain more easily and focus on healing herself. After a little while, she felt a faint soothing energy wave passing through her body, slightly easing her pain. As time passed, the pleasant energy flux was getting stronger and stronger, until it was strong enough to actually feel some of her injuries slowly healing. After spending all of the night focusing on it, Scarlet was almost completely healed when the sun was rising outside.

[I… did it.] Scarlet said, exhausted.

"Wow. You sure had a lot of willpower, even at that age." Max commented.

[That night it was 'do or die'.]

Unfortunately for her, the meditite wasn't there anymore, from being sold, so she couldn't thank him properly, making her slightly disappointed. Then, in the middle of the day, the man that had beaten her came back to give very little food to Scarlet.

"What the… " The man exclaimed, surprised at how her injuries were almost not visible anymore.

Scarlet's response was only an arrogant and triumphant expression.

"You think you're better than me just because you can heal yourself now, huh? We will see about that."

With that, the man left the room, leaving Scarlet with a satisfied grin. But to her dismay, it was only for a short duration when the man came back with his luxray a few minutes later.

"Alright, you smart kirlia. Let's see if you can heal this." The man spat when close enough to the cage. "Come on boy, go have some fun." He said while opening the cage.

"Lux!" Happily barked the luxray.

[No… Stay away from me!] Scarlet yelled in fear as the luxray approached her.

"Come back when you're done and don't forget to close the lock the cage after." The keeper instructed the luxray, leaving them.

[That's gonna be fun.] The luxray commented while looking at the kirlia with a predatory face.

The luxray then used Thunder Wave to paralyze Scarlet, making her unable to resist.

[I must warn you, master. This gonna be hard for you.] Scarlet told to Max.

"You don't mean…"

As the luxray was getting closer, Max could see the red genitals getting out of the luxray while he pressed Scarlet on the ground. No foreplay or even setting the mood, he shoved his genital inside her in one go, breaking her hymen in horrible pain.

"KIRRRLIA!" Scarlet screamed loudly in pain.

Max was barely able to stop him from vomiting when seeing kirlia Scarlet being raped by that luxray. As blood was overflowing from Scarlet, the luxray raped her more roughly, using her blood as some kind of lubricant. For the next couple of minutes, Scarlet was powerless and couldn't do anything besides hoping that this horrible pain will end soon. After a moment, the luxray was finally done as he came inside her. He then left her and locked the cage behind him, leaving an almost unconscious kirlia in a small puddle of blood and cum. The next morning, Scarlet was awakened by another man taking her to another room, where she was washed by a hose with cold water. When they were no trace of dirt on her, she was thrown back to her cage, which was also cleaned up.

"I want her cage to be clean as much as possible. A pokemon with an infection don't sell well." A man told to another one close to the cage.

"Yes sir."

Then, most of the day, Scarlet tried to use her new learned move Recover to heal what she had just lost. But no matter how much she was focusing, there was nothing to heal any more, making her cry in a corner of the cage for the rest of day. When the evening arrived, another man arrived but with the absol this time.

"I heard that you offer yourself to please our pokemon? That's very nice of you. Up to it boy?"

"Ab!" The absol barked enthusiastically.

"Got it. Get in there and have fun." The man permitted while petting the absol's head before opening her cage to let him enter.

Backing as much as possible, Scarlet knew what was coming. Not wanting that to happen again, she struggling and tried to escape.

"Need some help boy?"

The man then used a teaser on her to paralyze her, making her at the mercy of the absol. Then, like last night, when the absol was ready, he inserted himself inside Scarlet roughly again without any pleasure, bringing back the horrible pain like yesterday. Again, when he was done, the absol left the kirlia in filth. For the next couple of weeks, Scarlet was washed with cold water every morning and raped every night, until one day, a strange man appeared in the room with the man that was usually keeping an eye on her.

"Sure mister. We have it right here." The keeper that beaten her up last night said.

"An orange kirlia, what a nice discover."

With the keeper was a strange-looking man. From Max's perception, it was looking a bit like a mad scientist or something, but less clichéd.

"Maybe it is not very healthy, but you will find it quite obedient," The man mentioned when both of them arrived at her cage.

"Good. My my, that's a good specimen you have there. Can't wait to do some research on it." The strange man said with an unhealthy grin, scaring Scarlet.

"Great. Now for the price…"

"Yeah, yeah. Will one million do you good?"

"S-Sure. Our boss will be pleased."

"Perfect."

"I'll go get someone to help me getting her on your vehicle."

"No need." The strange man refused while getting out a strange device.

Opening her cage, Scarlet wanted to fight back but was knocked out by a strong electrical discharge coming from the device, kinda like the one she already felt but stronger.

"That's practical…" Was the only thing Scarlet heard last before falling unconscious.

The next scene was when Scarlet opened her eyes again to a ceiling of some kind of a research lab, chained to an experimental table. Instantly, she tried to use her powers to escape but was unable to manifest them at all.

"Don't even bother little kirlia." Said a man that appeared in her sight. "We implanted a little device on your spine to prevent you from using your psychic ability, and in case you were thinking about ripping it off, I suggest you not, since that it will not only leave you permanently paralyzed, but also make you unable to use psychic ability forever." The man explained.

Locking her eyes on him, Scarlet saw that it was a different person than the one that shocked and was the first time she was seeing him.

"You probably wondering where you are, aren't you? Well, I don't see the point to explain that to a stupid creature like you, but let's just say that we do research to exploit the full potential of pokemon. I'm the one in charge in here and you better be obedient, or your stay here will only be harsher. From now on, we will try to figure out your potential by testing all of your limits. I will now leave you in the hands of my assistants, so please, be cooperative." The man requested before leaving.

"Alright, let's first test her mental capacity." One man said, out of a few more that appeared in front of her.

A man then put a strange device on her head.

"Begin the examination."

Then, painful shock waves passed through her brain, making her scream in pain.

"KKIIRRLL!"

"… Hmhmm, she indeed has a good potential." A man that was looking at a monitor pointed out.

"Alright, increase the power."

A second later, the pain had increased inside Scarlet's brain, making it like it was about to melt. After almost an hour of torturous pain, she fell unconscious again.

"That was… horrible," Max commented in disgust.

[And it went on like this for years.] She said as successive scenes were passing.

All of the scenes were about the kirlia being tortured by various methods. Poison and drug injection, physical and mental abusing and electroshock. The scenes then stopped at the kirlia Scarlet in a closed and reinforced room with various targets in.

"Okay kirlia, I want you to hit all of the targets with your Psybeam attack. We are gonna deactivate your power suppressor but don't try anything, the walls around you can withstand any kind of attack, so if we see you try to escape…" A voice in an intercom said.

Scarlet then felt a painful electrical wave passing through her spine, making her fall on her knees.

"… We're gonna increase the power until it kills you, understand."

Scarlet had no choice but complied and nod in submission.

"Good. You can go now." The voice instructed before everything went black.

"Why did they force you to train?" Max asked.

[They wanted to make me as strong as possible to sell me at a high price to the military, wanting to make the strongest pokemon that can annihilate anything.]

"Oh. How did you learn that?"

[Over time, I was able to peek into humans' minds with minimalistic power, allow me to trespass the device on my spine only for that.]

The next scene was about Scarlet, now a gardevoir, being chained in a dark room in a strange machine that was looking a bit like the things we used to tear apart criminals in the old time. Then, a man entered with very little dry and nasty-looking food in his hands.

"Here's your meal." He said.

The only response from the gardevoir was only a contemptuous and hateful look at him. The man presented the food to her mouth, only to not even move an inch and looking at him with those hateful eyes.

"Open it." The man ordered, getting impatient.

Still not moving, the man loses it. He grabbed Scarlet's jaw to force her mouth to open and shoved the food inside her mouth, only for her to spit it on him.

"You little bitch." He growled before slapping her hard. "Go ahead, don't eat, see if I care. Even if you oddly don't get skinnier even after a month of food privation, you can't go like this forever."

After the man cleaned himself the spat food on him, he looked at her.

"But I must say…" He started while grasped her chin before exanimating every angle of her face.

"You did become a pretty gardevoir."

His hand then started to trace her body by passing on her crest, forcing Scarlet to use her willpower to suppress the pleasurable feeling.

"Hmm, I thought that that part was sensitive for gardevoir? Oh well, that's not what's interests me anyway."

The man's hand then goes under her skirt and pressed his fingers on her lower lips, which made the gardevoir angrily struggle for him to stop it.

"GARD!" The pokemon blurted out aggressively.

"Oh, you want me to continue? As you wish."

The man then continues to play with her privates, tracing her most sensitive part with his fingers. After a little while, the man grew angry when he saw that she wasn't getting wet at all, even with the stimulation, making her giving him an arrogant and triumphant grin.

"You worthless bitch." He insulted her while slapping her again. "You want to play hard to get? Fine, we will see how long you will resist."

After the man left angrily, Scarlet let out a relieved sigh, happy that she didn't have to look at that human anymore. Unfortunately for her, her respite was cut short when the man plus three more came back inside the room later that day.

"Alright, take her to the experiment lab."

Before unchaining her, they injected in her a powerful muscle relaxant, making her unable to even slightly struggle when they take her to the experiment table, where she was chained again.

"Okay guys, as promised, no one will know about it, so we can enjoy that gardevoir as much as we want."

"GARD! GARDEVOIR!" The gardevoir shouted in protestation, despite being under drugs.

"You don't translate anymore Scarlet?" Max asked Scarlet.

[… No.]

Scarlet was looking a bit mind absent at the moment. It was understandable since she was reliving all of that. The man then took out from a nearby machine an electrical torture device.

"If we adjust the power correctly, we should be able to have a more cooperative gardevoir." The man stated while pressing buttons on the machine.

The man then approached the electrical device close to her and sends electroshock to Scarlet's crest, mixing a great amount of pain and forced pleasure.

"GARD!" Scarlet yelled in pain.

"How is she down there?" The man asked.

Another man then put her hand under her skirt and pressed his fingers on her lower lips.

"Still nothing." He said.

"Hmm, maybe if we apply it directly there…"

The man then put the device on her clit before electroshocking it.

"GARD!" Scarlet yelled even louder.

After a moment of painful stimulation, the man stopped and check for what he wanted.

"Good news guys, it worked." He announced while showing his wet fingers at them.

"Good. We can begin now?"

"Of course."

Then, all four of them undressed before surrounding the gardevoir, which had a very hateful expression.

"Since it was my idea, I'll begin with the bottom." The man that was electroshocking her told everyone while getting on the table.

"I'll take the head." Another one said, doing the same.

"And us?" The two remaining ones asked.

"She still has two hands." The first man answered, who was on her lower half while raising her hips so she was well aligned with his shaft.

"Fine."

The other two then grabbed both of her hands and coiled them around their shaft. The one on her lower half then inserted himself inside her, making her moaned despite herself. The one on her upper half then took the opportunity to shove his member in her mouth.

"You try anything, and I'll make you feel the most horrible pain you ever experienced." The first man threatened.

Knowing she couldn't do anything, she remained passive, despite the urge to bite and rip off the dick of the one that was almost choking her.

"She's not doing anything here." One of the men that had one of her hands said.

"Bad gardevoir."

The man with the remote then sends pain to Scarlet's spine.

"Do as we say, or you know what is waiting for you."

With a wave of raging anger and hate, she started to masturbate the other two men despite herself.

"Fuck! That's really hard to stand." Max commented, feeling nauseous again.

[You're the one that wanted to know about me. You better watch it until the end.]

Even though he didn't want to, Max continued to watch. After all, he just had to watch while Scarlet was the one that experienced it. A few minutes later, when they were all done, they all spread their seeds on the gardevoir, bukkaking her.

"I'll tell you guys whenever we will be able to do it again."

After they nodded, they released her after injecting the muscle relaxant to get her in the washing room, where she was washed also with cold water before being brought back and chained to her darkroom.

(I have to escape from that place.) An echoing voice said.

"What was that?" Max asked.

[This is where I had the strongest thought in my life. This is where I had enough.]

Max then saw the past Scarlet closing her eyes and goes for slow breathing, like in a meditative stance. The next scenes were her being trained, tortured, experimented on, and raped from time to time by those men. The scenes scrolling then stopped to a moment where she was in the training room.

"Okay Gardevoir, from now on, you will train with other pokemon. We will try to bring you stronger and stronger opponents. But for today, we will start with an easy one, to see how you can manage."

Then, the only door of the room opened, only for a pokemon to enter. To Scarlet's surprise, the one that entered was someone she knew; the meowstic that had abandoned her years ago.

[Well, if it isn't the one that abandoned me?]

"You're translating again?" Asked Max.

[Yeah, I love that passage.]

[Do I, know you?] The meowstic inquired.

[Of course, you don't remember. I'm the kirlia you abandoned years ago in the forest.] Scarlet replied.

[Oh, well, happy to see you're still alive.] The meowstic said, looking a bit nervous.

[No thanks to you.]

"Okay Gardevoir, it's a test, so don't hold back." The intercom voice instructed.

[With, pleasure.] Scarlet mumbled while making her hands glow with her power.

[Wait, maybe we can…]

Scarlet didn't let her the time to talk as she immediately launched a Shadow Ball at her, a move she learned from her multiple training sessions. Barely dodging, the meowstic knew that it was unless to try to talk. After all, if she did not obey, she will only get back to the punishing room. The meowstic then countered back with a Psybeam attack, with Scarlet blocking it with Protect. Not leaving Scarlet the time to attack back, the meowstic attacked her with Disarming Voice, which she wasn't able to block with Protect, and took the hit. Luckily for her, the attack did almost nothing, besides mostly annoying her. Scarlet then goes herself for a Psybeam attack, which the meowstic countered with Light Screen, reducing the received damaged. However, the attack was so strong that it damaged her quite hard anyway, making her fly a few meters behind.

[That's no good, I have to attack her with everything I have.] The meowstic said to herself.

Knowing that Gardevoirs doesn't have a high physical defense, the meowstic went for the Psyshock move, which she charged as much as possible. Fainting to be too scared to attack, Scarlet waited for her move to be fully charged.

[Eat, this.] The psychic cat blurted while throwing her fully charged move.

Not even shivering, Scarlet waited for the move to be close as much as possible and used Reflect, which consisted of bouncing back a special attack move to the user. Not expecting that and too fast for him, the meowstic took her own full attack directly, injuring him heavily. After Scarlet got near him, she saw his chest and his neck being burnt by dark purple embers. Scarlet then used her power to lift her and brought her closer to her face.

[I'm… sorry. I'm sorry that I didn't anything to help you that day.] He apologized while slightly coughing blood.

[Being sorry or not doesn't matter anymore.] Scarlet retorted.

"Okay Gardevoir, you can let go of the meowstic. You win."

["Shut up humans. When I'm done here, I'm gonna take care of all of you."] A powerful and not feminine at all voice that was resonating everywhere shouted.

"What the… since when she can do that?" A voice in the intercom exclaimed.

"I don't know sir." Another voice answered.

"What do you mean you don't know? And turn off the intercom, damnit!"

"We… can't, sir. The control… doesn't respond anymore." Yet another voice stated in the intercom.

Scarlet then turned around to face the reinforced glass that the humans were looking at and lift the meowstic a bit high in the air.

["This is what is waiting for you humans."]

For a moment, everyone went silent to look at what Scarlet was about to do next.

[Wait… what are you planning to do?] The meowstic asked, nervously looking at Scarlet.

[What do you think? I win and you lose. You are not worth existing anymore.]

[What? No wait don't do that, I said I was sorry. I was weak back then.]

[And you still are. I'm sorry meowstic, but I have a chance to survive. It will be stupid to not take it.] Scarlet said with an unhealthy grin.

[No! Wait!]

As the meowstic started to struggle in desperation, Scarlet used her Psychokinesis move to crush the meowstic into a small ball of meat before making it explode in fireworks of blood and guts, splashing all over Scarlet, staining her body in red color.

"Alright, she's not supposed to know that move. Bring her down!"

They then tried to fry the gardevoir with the device on her spine, only to see their control not functioning either.

["That won't work if it's not even on me anymore."] The omnipresent voice said while Scarlet showed a strange device in her hand.

Max then looked at Scarlet's back to see her damaged spine from a flesh hole, bleeding profusely. She then started to float higher in the air and focus her power on her wounded back.

"Alright, purge the room."

As Scarlet's back was slowly closing, gas was started to fill the room. After a few seconds, her back was completely healed. She opened her eyes and used her power to break the gas generator in the room.

"What the… isn't the room supposed to be psychic proof?" The one in charge exclaimed in panic.

"Sir, everything is down!"

"What?!"

Not even a second after his last sentence, the glass frame that was protecting them from the pokemon in the room was loudly torn apart from the room, floating in front of Scarlet.

"Evacuate! Now!"

In a general panic, everyone rushed toward the opening secured door that was leading in the complex. While a few managed to already escape, Scarlet threw back the heavy glass frame to them, crushing a few of them against the wall. She then used her power to make the electronics in the rooms explode, burning and cutting to death a few more. When they were almost all out, Scarlet was able to get three latecomers, bring them closer to her in the air.

["Now, the roles are inverted. It's your turn to suffer now."]

After displaying a very unhealthy smile, she lifted the three of them above her even higher and shattered them into a rain of blood and guts, staining her even more. Scarlet then floated towards the now closed door they all used to escape. Using her power, she pushed and destroyed the door alongside a piece of the wall against the wall of the other room, which was a corridor. Normally, there should be an alarm to alert everyone in the complex, but Scarlet thought about everything and deactivated it too. She was now able to get everyone in here before they even know she was on the loose. Quickly floating in the corridors, Scarlet was able to catch up with some of the group.

"Run! Don't look back!"

Since there were not many in the testing room, besides those two, there were only three other humans that were there, excluding the one that was in charge here. Scarlet then used her power to rip off the spine and head of one of them, making a headless and spineless corpse going two more steps more falling lifelessly on the ground. After she threw the head away, she continued her chase. Seeing the human running for his life, she used two walls that he was passing by and crushed him by ripping them off their place. After she dropped the blood dripping walls, she focused her psychic energy to locate the other three. When she found them, she quickly floated in their direction through the corridors. When she arrived at them, they were behind a force field that was supposed to block any kind of attack, probably thinking they were safe.

["Good try, but that won't save you."]

She then used Teleport to get inside with them. As one of them tried to go to the console that was controlling the force field, Scarlet tore apart his arms when he tried to press the button. In fact, she ripped off everyone's arms, making all of them scream in agony.

["Go on, try to lower it now."]

They were now on the ground, in too much pain to do anything.

["No? Well then."]

She then crushed two of them against the force field, making them exploded into pieces.

["And I have special treatment for you."]

The last one was one of the assholes that were raping her regularly. Making him float in the air, she tore apart his clothes down, ripped his penis off him before shoving it into his throat to shut him up from his agony screams. She then took out from the ground a metal pipe, shoved it up in his ass, and made it come out from his head before impaling the bar in the wall.

["Now I need to find the one that forced me to go through all of this. But first, let's clean this place."]

She then roamed the corridors, searching for more humans to kill. Probably alerted by the noises, a few humans stepped out of a room close to Scarlet. As they saw the gardevoir covered in blood, most of them started running away while a few locked themselves in the room.

["So stupid."]

Scarlet then fissured the walls, ceiling, and floor to control some large wires and coiled them around the neck of three running humans, hanging them out in the air while she used sharp metal beams of the structure to impale the remaining humans either through their chest or their head. For those who were being choked by the wires, Scarlet tightened it until their head wasn't attached to their body anymore. Done here, she went to the door where the others were locked down and loudly crushed the door before pulling it away and tossing it behind her in a loud bang, revealing a laboratory room with all kinds of chemistry stuff.

"S-Stay away!" One of them yelled while trying to throw glass bottles at her, which she grabbed back with her powers.

["Seriously? Did you really think that your little toys would have touched me?"]

Scarlet then looked around to see that the room was filled with almost nothing but glass equipment, which gave her an idea. She then made everything that was made of glass glow in blue energy and smashed everything into small sharp glass pieces. She then grabbed the present humans in the room and made them float in the center of the room. Next, all of the glass pieces started to spin around them, making them trapped inside a glass tornado. After a devilish grin, Scarlet then made all the glass pieces pierce through the humans at high velocity, making them slowly being shattered into bloody meat pieces after some brief agony scream. When everything in the room was either covered in blood or organ pieces, Scarlet left the room in search of the rest. The next scenes were successive scrolling of Scarlet killing everyone in the complex. One was about her making them melt into acidic chemical products, another one was her burning some into crisp with an electrical control panel, and another one about her rip off their intestine and hung them on the ceiling with it. Luckily for her, she was able to get her hands on the three remaining humans that had raped her.

["So, you like shoving filthy things inside someone, huh? How about you experienced it yourselves?"]

Again, she fissured the walls and floor to take out all the wires she could possibly found. Next, she shoved all of the wires inside the ass of two and in the throat of one, split all of the wires into smaller one and made them come out of their body on every surface, making them looks like sea urchins. When they weren't moving anymore besides the after-death twitching, she let them fall lifelessly on the ground before letting out a small relieved sigh.

["That feels good. But there is still one that I didn't get."]

Focusing her power through the complex, she was not sensing any sign of life anymore.

["He must have escaped."]

Quickly floating in the corridors, Scarlet passed beside crumpled and broken walls, floor, and ceiling with flicking light, blood, and corpses everywhere. The whole place was now ruined. After a moment, she came across an elevator door, with it already up.

["I bet this is where he escaped."]

Breaking the door, Scarlet floated in the elevator passage and goes up until she arrived at the elevator floor. Bending the metallic floor, Scarlet passed through the improvised hole to enter another complex, but smaller. Focusing her power again, she finally found him. He was outside and getting away from her position pretty quickly, probably running. Using Teleport, she disappeared from the upper ground complex and reappeared outside, in front of him. Being in winter, Scarlet was facing the man that was the cause of all of her suffering in there under the snowfall in front of a complex hidden in the mountain.

"C-Calm down little gardevoir. I know that you're mad, but think about what we have accomplished. What you have accomplished." The man said, trying to make her spare his life.

[What you have accomplished? You made me stronger, I'll give you that. But it's a double-edged blade since it will come back at you from all the pain you made it go through.]

Without letting him the time to respond, she broke his legs into pieces so he would be unable to flee.

"GHaaAA!" The man screamed in pain while falling on the ground.

Turning him on his back, Scarlet landed on his belly.

"Please, I can make things better. I can make you even stronger." The man pleaded with eyes filled with fear.

Not even responding, Scarlet started to punch his face with her bare fist.

["You! Putrid! Bag of shit! You don't even deserve a quick death!"]

Scarlet was punching his face endlessly until his face was so bruised that it started to look unrecognizable.

"GARD!"

As her rage was unleashing and was punching his face stronger and stronger, flames started to come out of her fist, until after a few more hits, there were completely covered in flames, punching him with Fire Punch. After a moment, when her rage was slowly fading away, Scarlet saw that she was now punching a small puddle of burnt flesh and bones where his head should be with the snow beside it stained in blood. When she stopped, she had her hands on his chest and was panting. When she regained her breath, she left the corpse and stood near it, just staring.

["See you hell, disgusting insect."] She growled before spitting on the body and weakly floated away through the snowfall toward the nearest forest until everything went black again.

"Is that it?"

[No. I also had to get back to where I was trapped the first time. I searched for a few years until I finally found it.]

The next scene was about Scarlet in front of an isolated building in the woods. Max could see that her color was already starting to be altered with a few patches of crimson red color that had permanently stained the orange color. Hiding behind trees, Scarlet saw four armed guards in front of the main door. Being all in reach, she used her psychic power to make their four brains explode, freeing the passage. Crushing the door, Scarlet entered the building, surprising the residents.

"What the fuck?" One of them yelled.

Scarlet then immediately attacked one by splitting him in half.

"Fuck!" Another man yelled while they all panicked and run everywhere for cover.

After Scarlet ripped off the head of a few more, the others had gathered guns and started shooting at her. With her power, she was able to stop every bullet in their course before sending them back to them, killing most of them.

"Ballistic weapons don't work!" One of them blurted, still shooting her while being more careful at the drawback.

"I got it."

One of the men had arrived with a laser rifle. He shot at Scarlet who couldn't stop the projectile and took the hit in her shoulder.

"Gard!" Scarlet groaned.

Getting her attention to the one that had the laser weapon, Scarlet removed the gun from his hand and impaled the cannon in his jaw, and shot the gun, making the laser rifle shot through his head multiple times before breaking it, making it useless.

"It's useless, send our pokemon, that's the only way." The boss of the place commanded.

["You think so?"]

Then, a few pokemon appeared from everywhere, and to Scarlet's pleasure, a certain absol and luxray she knew too well.

Said Scarlet with bloodlust eyes.

[Well, well, well. Look who is showing their miserable faces. Glad to see you're still alive. That way, I can kill you myself.]

[In your dream.] The luxray retorted before tossing a Thunderbolt attack.

Scarlet easily used reflect to deflect back the move toward the luxray. Being an electric type, it didn't do a lot of damage but enough to make him flinch a bit. Then, a few other pokemon plus the absol charged at her, with the absol using Psycho Cut with his horn. After she repelled all the pokemon with her power except the absol, ripped off his horn before throwing him back against a wall, making him whine in pain. Scarlet then make the horn spin at a tremendous speed and used it to cut either the pokemon's throat or their entire head off. When they were all dead, the only ones left were the luxray and the absol.

"Gard, gardevoir." Said Scarlet with a pleased face.

[Ah, sweet revenge.]

Using the absol horn, Scarlet cut the luxray balls off before slicing open his belly, making his guts escaping from him. Leaving him to his agony, Scarlet goes toward the absol, still whining in pain from the loss of his horn.

"Gard, garde gardevoir devoir? Gard, gardevoir garde gardevoir devoir gardevoir."

[Aww, that's painful, now does it? Eh, it's nothing compared to what you inflicted me.]

The absol looked at the gardevoir with teary eyes, unable to even say anything from fear and pain.

"Gardevoir gardevoir devoir voir gardevoir."

[I hope you learned your lesson for your next life.]

With that, Scarlet separated the upper half from his lower half in two before throwing each half in a different part of the room. As the room was filled with blood and corpse, including Scarlet, she noticed that the humans had escaped. Before she chased after them, she goes back to the room where she used to be locked down. After she entered, she saw that nothing had changed besides some different pokemon in the cages. After she inspected them, she broke all the cages to make all of them escape.

"Zangoose." Said a pretty tall blue zangoose.

[Thanks.]

Not responding, Scarlet crushed a wall to make a hole to the outside.

"Gard, gardevoir devoir garde."

[Leave, if you dreamt of freedom.]

When they all left, Scarlet's eyes landed on the cage she used to be in. Getting in front of it, she stared at it a moment before crushing it into a small metal ball and threw it across the room. Getting outside, she pursued those who had escaped. Being less smart than those on the complex, they were all together, easing Scarlet's task. As they were trying to outrun her by the woods, Scarlet teleport a bit further behind them.

"Watch out!" Called one of them when he saw a huge dead tree trunk going toward them.

A few of them who didn't saw it in time were smashed by, some on the head, killing them instantly, and the rest on the chest, breaking their spine and organs, making them slowly dying from internal hemorrhage. Seeing them trying to get faster, Scarlet lifted some boulders and quickly crushed the rest, except one. As the last one tried to lose her, she restrained his legs, making him fall to the ground.

[Remember me?] Said the creepy voice of scarlet.

"No, please! I don't know what I did but I'm sorry." Cried the man.

Her response was to make a huge boulder land on his legs, crushing and squishing them instantly.

"GHAAA!" Screamed the man.

[Then let make me refresh your memory.]

Scarlet moved the boulder a bit toward his head, squishing more of him with more painful screams.

[I was once a little kirlia that wanted nothing more but to be left alone.]

Scarlet then moved the boulder closer to his head again.

[But some humans thought that an orange kirlia was worth being caged for whatever reason it was.]

"Wait! You're that… orange kirlia that we sold… to that strange man… years ago?" Painfully said the man.

[Oh, so you do remember me.]

Scarlet then made him scream even more by crushing more of him, which now arrived at his hips.

"I'm… Ghaa… sorry… I was… just… following orders… Gha please stop!" Hardly pleaded the man.

[Order? If beating up a defenseless kirlia was an order, then you choose the wrong path.]

Scarlet then crushed the rest of him with the boulder, squishing his torso completely, making him bleed profusely by every orifice on his face, dying shortly after.

[Alright, time to find those who abandon me in the first place.] Said Scarlet while leaving further in the woods before the scene disappeared.

"You went after your parents?" Asked Max.

[Yes. Again, it took some time but less than expected. But I had some obstacles along the way, like that moment for example.] Said Scarlet as she transported them to the next scene.

Scarlet was wandering in the woods, with the crimson color that had replaced roughly 70% of her original color. As she had stopped to eat berries that her species needed, Scarlet was interrupted by noises behind her.

"Oh boy, a gardevoir! But she has weird colors." Said a human behind.

Turning around, Scarlet was in front of a young-looking boy, maybe in his 13 or 14.

"But that's doesn't matter, I'll capture it anyway. Charmeleon, come help me." The boy said before sending out a charmeleon from his pokeball.

"Char!" Roared the pokemon.

At that time, Scarlet didn't know what the white and red things were but seeing the pokemon getting out of it, that made her think like a cage. Frowning, Scarlet waited to see what business he had with her.

"Charmeleon, use ember."

"Char!" Said the pokemon while throwing the attack.

Not even moving an inch, Scarlet blocked the attack with Protect, nullifying the attack.

"Geez, it looks strong. Charmeleon, use headbutt."

The charmeleon then rushed toward the gardevoir with his head down. Scarlet used psychokinesis to stop him in his attack, made him float, and threw him a bit further against a tree.

"No! charmeleon."

Scarlet then slowly approached the kid.

"B-Back off." Nervously said the kid.

Thinking it could help, the kid then threw a pokeball to try to capture her, hoping it will work since his charmeleon wasn't able to fight anymore. Unfortunately for him, Scarlet caught it mid-air with her power.

[Looks like you like throwing things at pokemon aren't you?] Said Scarlet in the kid's head.

"What? Are you… talking to me?" Asked the kid, first time experiencing telepathy.

[And it seems that you also like to trap and enslave pokemon as well.] Said Scarlet while grabbing his shirt with one hand and lifted him in the air.

"No… stop."

[Let's see what you have.]

Scarlet then used her power to empty the bag he had on his back. She found berries and a few human things that she didn't know about yet, but also, a couple more of those enslaving white and red objects.

[Well well, looks like you're planning on caging a lot more.]

"No… it's called pokeball. It helps us to make friends with pokemon."

[Friend? Like hell a pokemon could befriend a human.]

Scarlet then threw the kid against a tree and restrained him with her psychic ability with one hand, and used her other hands to make all the kid's pokeballs levitate close to her. Then, to Scarlet's surprise, the charmeleon got between the kid and Scarlet.

"Charmeleon." Happily said the kid.

"Char char!" Warned the pokemon while facing Scarlet.

"Gard, devoir gardevoir. Garde gardevoir gard gardevoir voir. »

[Look, I have nothing against you. So you better leave while you still can.]

The charmeleon held his ground and didn't move, growling at Scarlet.

"Gardevoir."

[Suits yourself.]

Scarlet's eyes then glow all blue as well as the charmeleon. For a moment, the charmeleon started to hold his chest in pain. Then, they all heard a small squishy noise, making the charmeleon fell on the ground, dead.

"No! Charmeleon!" Yelled the kid.

[I gave him a chance.]

"What is wrong with that gardevoir?! Somebody, Help!" Yelled again the kid.

[Can you keep it down? Your voice is really irritating.] Said Scarlet while forcing him to shut his mouth.

[Now, how about I try to catch you with this.]

Scarlet threw a pokeball at a pretty high velocity at the kid, smashing and breaking his shoulder, where it landed. Muffled because of Scarlet, the kid's scream of pain wasn't very audible.

[Oh, I missed. I'm not good at throwing.]

Scarlet then threw another pokeball at his other shoulder, breaking it as well.

[Again? I guess I must practice more.]

This time, Scarlet threw two pokeball at once, each one landing on his knees, increasing his muffled screams with tears forming in his eyes.

[Shoot! Alright the next one should be good.]

Scarlet then threw a pokeball on his chest, smashing his ribcage, making him cough while screaming.

[Hmm, maybe it only works on the head.]

Scarlet then gathered a lot of energy before throwing the pokeball at his head with tremendous speed, making it looks like an energy ball, making his head explode into pieces, leaving a hole in the tree behind it.

[Hmm, I guess humans can't be trapped in those things. Oh well, a little nuisance took care of.] Said Scarlet while leaving the human corpse beside the pokemon's one before leaving further one the woods.

"Wait!" Said Max when everything went black.

"I think I remember that story. A kid was found dead in the woods with his pokemon, multiple injuries, and headless. It was you?"

[I guess it was.]

"Why? That wasn't really necessary."

[Do you think I really cared back then?]

"… Guess not. But at least, since this incident, the minimum age for being a trainer was raised from twelve to eighteen." Said max, feeling really uncomfortable about that scene.

The next scene was about Scarlet in the woods she was born. Gathering some information from pokemon, she finally discovered where it all began. Then, she arrived at the spot where she was thrown in the river. Looking at the river, she fell on her knees, remembering pieces by pieces the moment she was dropped in it. When she regained her composure, she looked sadly at the river, wondering why it all happened to her. Then, as she was lost in her memories, she was hit in the back by a Psybeam attack. Almost doing nothing to her, Scarlet quickly turned around to see who had attacked her.

"Gar gardevoir, gard gardevoir devoir gardevoir." Said a gardevoir that Scarlet instinctively recognized with its hands glowing with power.

[When I heard about it, I didn't believe that you were really alive.]

"Voir."

[Mother.]

"Gardevoir. Garde garde gardevoir garde voir devoir. Gard garde devoir gard." Said the gardevoir before launching more Psybeam attacks.

[Yes sweetheart. I'm your mother and you're the unworthy child that refuses to die. I'll finish what Mother Nature couldn't do.]

Scarlet then sends all of her attacks back to her with Reflect, which she managed to dodge.

"Voir gardevoir gard?" Said Scarlet, attacking back with Psybeam, which she dodged easily.

[Why do you hate me so much?]

"Voir? Gardevoir. Garde gardevoir. Garde garde devoir garde voir devoir gardevoir, voir gar gardevoir gar devoir garde, garde gardevoir." Said Scarlet's mother while using Shadow Claw at Scarlet, which she barely blocked with protect.

[Why? I'll tell you why. You were born as an abomination. When our tribe was rejecting us for making you born, your father and I taught that maybe if we get rid of you, everything will be back to normal.]

"Gardevoir, devoir gardevoir, voir gardevoir devoir. Gardevoir gardevoir garde voir devoir. Gardevoir!" Angrily said the green gardevoir while shooting an Ice Beam attack at Scarlet, which she didn't see coming and took it on one arm.

[But unfortunately, our tribe was still rejecting us, saying that we were abomination creator. After we weren't accepted by the tribe anymore, your father killed himself from pain and despair. All because of you!]

Using her Fire Punch, Scarlet melted the ice around her arm and broke it by clenching her hands into a fist.

"Gardevoir gard devoir. Voir garde gardevoir devoir dardevoir voir, devoir garde, gardevoir garde devoir." Said Scarlet.

[I don't care about what happened to you. But if you're weak enough to let others tell you what to think and do, like trying to kill your own child, then you do not deserve to stay alive.]

Scarlet then distracted her with a Psybeam with one hand. When she dodged it, she was already charging a Shadowball with her other hand and launched it at her when she was preparing another attack. Heavily damaged by a weakness attack, Scarlet's mother was propelled back against a tree. Before she had the time to counterattack, Scarlet locked her in place with psychokinesis. As she struggled to break free, Scarlet floated toward.

"Garde gardevoir garde voir." Said Scarlet's mother.

[You're a disgrace to our kind, child.]

"Voir gardevoir voir gardevoir, gardevoir garde." Retorted Scarlet.

[If our kind is mostly like you, then I'm fine with that.]

"Gar, garde devoir gardevoir voir." Said Scarlet while focusing her power on her red crest, lightly crushing it, making the green gardevoir winch in pain.

[Now, I think you won't need that anymore.]

"Devoir gardevoir devoir."

[Though I'm sure it never was used.]

"Garr… gardevoir, gardevoir. Devoir voir gardevoir devoir gard…" Angrily said the green gardevoir.

[Ghaa… Go ahead, end my misery. If it makes me forgot about what I have generated…]

"Gard. Devoir." Said Scarlet with a grin.

[With. Pleasure.]

Scarlet then ripped off her mother's crest out of her chest, killing her shortly after. After she crushed the crest into dust, Scarlet tossed the remained of it to her mother's corpse before sitting close to the river.

(That's it, I'm now free of my chains.) Thought Scarlet.

For a moment, Max saw Scarlet taking heavy breathing close to the river before the scene disappeared.

"So, you killed your own mother."

[Yeah, I killed the one who tried to kill me.]

"What happened next?"

[The next part was pretty… empty.]

The next scenes were about scarlet, wandering everywhere and nowhere, killing some humans that were trying to capture her or pokemon that were harming her while years were passing.

[After I got my revenge on everyone, there was nothing left for me. I was alone, lost, and still in pain.]

Then the scenes scrolling stopped to when Scarlet was under a tree, in the night cold rain, shivering from coldness, alone.

[Despite my hate for humans and my own species, I couldn't help but felt that the whole world had abandoned me.]

Max didn't know what to say.

[But then, everything was about to change, even if I wasn't aware of that the first time.]

The next scene was about Scarlet wandering in the forest, in search of food. Now, the scarlet orange color was all replaced by the crimson color like the present day. Scarlet then arrived at a berry bush that wasn't particularly made for gardevoir, but good enough to sustain her. As she was about to get some, she was attacked from behind by a beedrill. Sensing it, she was able to block it with Protect in time before immobilizing it with psychokinesis. Without any warning, she ripped off one of his arms stingers before giving him a bloodlust glare. Without any words, Scarlet made the beedrill flee in fear. After got back to her bush to eat some berry, she was getting a bit thirsty. She then floated toward the closest water source, which was a big pond. As she got a few sips, she looked up to see a human at the other side of the pond, staring.

(Not another one. I'm not particularly in the mood of killing a human today, but if he ever comes close to me, no one will ever know where he went.)

The human then dropped something in the water, making him stop looking at her for a moment. She then took that moment to use teleport and got away from his sight.

"Wait! You're planning on killing me?"

[Didn't you listen? I only would have done if you were to cross my path.]

"Glad I didn't chase after right after you then."

[Agree. An odd turn of events made us able to meet with me unable to harm you.]

The next scene was only a day later, with Scarlet wandering the woods, searching for more food. After looking for a while, Scarlet heard some noises in the distance. Curious, Scarlet looked around to see where it be could come from. A moment later, Scarlet was surrounded by a fleet of beedrill, with one being the one she ripped off the arm stinger.

"Gardevoir devoir garde." Said Scarlet while making her hands glow with power.

[Looks like you didn't understand.]

Scarlet didn't want to look impressed, but couldn't help but feel a bit worried, since there were too many of them, also being bug type. The beedrills made the first move with some of them charging at her. Blocking and dodging all of them, she used psychokinesis to control two of them with both of her hands and made them collide against the others as much as possible. Taking too much time, Scarlet was hit by a few Fury Attack moves on her back and side.

"Gar!" Lowly said, Scarlet.

After she let go of the two beedrills she was controlling, she launched a Psybeam at a few of them, with all of them dodging it, making her attacking the sky. Then, a few more beedrills quickly attacked her with Twineedle, damaged her quite a bit, failing to block or dodge. The beedrills then goes into a circle above her and all launched Pin Missile at her. Unfortunately, she couldn't block all of them with protect, since the move was only blocking one direction at a time, and took a few more hits. Getting quite damaged with a couple of scratches and bruises, Scarlet fell to the ground, feeling her strength leaving her. As the beedrills were getting in position for the final blow, Scarlet gathered the remaining of her strength and used gravity around her, making all of them drop on the ground, not expecting a drastic change of gravity. Scarlet then levitated higher in the air and used her power to gather all of the beedrill into one ball. She then charged the most powerful Shadowball she possibly creates and launched it at them, making a weird explosion noise with black particles, disintegrating in black powder some of them, and badly injuring the rest. When scarlet lets go of them, they all flee, leaving a weakened Scarlet behind. She then slowly and weakly floated toward a nearby tree, trying to rest. After only a few seconds, she heard a noise nearby. Turning around, the human she saw the day before reappeared again, but this time, too close to her for her comfort. She wanted to get rid of him with a Psybeam, but was too weak and was only able to launch a weak and slow one, which the human managed to dodge. The scene then went black as the human was approaching slowly toward Scarlet.

[After that, you know the rest.]

"Damn!"

[Now you know a bit more about me. Now it's time to get back to reality.]
