Shades, geez Kep and Ash should get a room.
All Ashley can do is kiss him. It's that ignition that leads him to those lips again, and that taste of chocolate on both sets of lips. Sugar sweet, that cocoa taste bud affirmation. But that break away has Ashley chasing, only this time, Kepler gains confidence.

And that is perhaps the sexiest thing Kep says. Ashley's smile widens. "Yeah?" The way those hips gyrate, Ashley is taken aback a moment, as he makes a very convincing growl. It wasn't the type that would lower attack either; quite the contrary. It was goading Kep to keep going.

He's smirking now.

"Damn, that sass is such a turn-on." He fully confesses, pulling the blankets over the two of them.

It was gonna be a long ni-... morning.

It was like that. The moment Alakazam was gone, Ashley lowered his arms. The blade is gone from her neck, and his arms fall limply to his side. Yes, he was arrogant. Yes, he was on a small power trip, but the moment she obeys, he folds.

One day, he can come to his senses? His blood boils. Did she not just watch his Starly and Lunatone die? Was she delusional? This war was their fault. And it goes further back than that. Every child who falls through the cracks, who suffers on the streets. The League should be there for the people, but the League is just as poisonous. And she stands here, preaching how little Rocket cared for him and how much his life was worth? Funny. Comedy. Utterly naive.

Ash knows his worth. It's the League doing that he understands. "Keep your shit advice to yourself."

A flawed foster care system, a flawed life. A flawed League. His silver eyes are glazed as he feels that pain swirling around him, taking his breath away as he turns his head to the side. The blood trickles down his left ear, and his arm feels nothing as she sprints away. He stares into the mist. The Pokemon around him? Also in the mist. Everyone is gone... save Bongo and Pulse.

Somewhere, he hears Isaac's voice. He thinks he does, anyways. He feels the sheer agony. All he can see is the shadow of Ash fading out of view as he remains the last one here on the field.

How bittersweet this victory was. Three dead and gone. Three... dead and...

The emotions finally catch up to him. Ash collapses to his knees. His body convulses, shaking viscerally with the need for it to be let out. When did he start crying? He doesn't know, but as he grabs the grass, he lets it out. A roar, a scream, a cry for help, as he forces it out, shredding his vocal chords as agony takes him. His cries are loud enough, that as he grabs at the ground, all he can do is try to breathe for another second. He rips at the grass by his grasp. He hopes it rips more. He hopes another sniper's shot is waiting for him. It never comes.

Why should he even cry? Does he even have the right to feel remorse?

With the switchblade still in his hand, he eyes a gravestone nearest to him. Crawling towards the gravestone, he lays his back upon it, eyes up towards the sky. His silvers see nothing ahead for him. All he was left with was that swirl of negative emotion surrounding him. He thinks he sees Kepler for just a moment. But that vision fades. His cries quiet a moment, and he faces all of it.

you loved them and you killed them

Alone.

That face was flushed, that smile so big, Ashley is staring. Heavens, he's staring. He stares long enough that as he smiles in turn, he hears Kep respond with a question. And the question needed an answer.

"I don't know. I just treated my now-boyfriend to a trick or treat date who I'm now falling for, kissed him and it felt right, can't get enough of his lips, enjoyed his sassy remarks because they make him sound smart, brought him home to my apartment alone without a buffer like last time, saw Arceus a little in the bedroom and I'm sure he did too, and... realized I don't like sleeping alone anymore. And... that you are my type." Parasite or not, he pulls Kepler closer.

Wait, what was that second one?

"I mean what I say, Kep." He looks into those eyes, brushing the hair out of his partner's face. He doesn't back down his conviction. In fact, he decides to go for it. He pulls Kep's hands around the back of his neck, and Ash's own around Kep's body as a whole. He stares deeply to those blue-greens. He kisses Kep again. And again.

"No doubts. No way. You're staying here. That's an order from your boyfriend." He started talking like he did in the bedroom. There's a loving growl beneath his words, silvers shooting half-lidded to Kep. Still moonstruck even after the date. He was going to spend a while showing it.

"Okay?"

Warm? He was warm. Kep was just making his face heated, his whole body heated. Until recently, he was sweating, and now he was warm inside of the covers. That positivity was addicting on both ends. Because as he fits together with his partner, he holds Kep tightly. A puzzle piece with its final piece, Ashley can feel nothing but happiness. Though wow. That cat-like bottom energy was infectious.

Ashley was already a heavy addict to his touch.

Truth be told, he never said the L-word to another person. No one ever deserved it. His mom threw him away, and any foster care parent's love was at face value without meaning. Ashley is hard-pressed on most occasions. But this? This was correct. Smitten. Nestling closer together, Ashley can feel it slipping from his lips.

He's never loved someone. Not like this.

Hearing Kep like one of his favorite snacks only makes that kiss stronger. When Kep chases his lips, Ashley's lips are back and giving every moment of lock he can give. How long had they been like this? Just moments ago, they were sweating like crazy, in the throes of every passionate sexual urge they had in them. Now, they could hardly pry away.

When Kep says at a minimum, Ash is quick to interject. "So stay longer." He's caught in those eyes again. Those blue-green beauties. He's staring for so long, he forgets to speak. He forgets every word he learned in the orphanage. He forgets every lesson he had ever taken. He enters romantic free-fall.

"I love the look of your eyes... so stay with me." He doesn't mean till morning anymore. He doesn't even just mean his eyes. It doesn't matter, before or after sex. He loved all of this. "The sub is cold, damp... here is warm. With you, it's warm. My bed would be cold without you in it..." His face is now the one turning colors, his cheeks showing his genuine need for that compassion. That feeling of love on his tongue.

He wanted to keep it close. If he doesn't, it could fly away.

It isn't long before Ashley found Kepler on his lap, and with a quick move of some blankets, he has Kepler in his arms, bundled up warm together, candy in the midst as he holds his lover. With Kep's head on his chest, Ash's heartbeat was a dead giveaway to his feelings of the night. He was content. Hell, Ashley was more than content. As he holds Kep's hand in his own, he snatches the smaller male's hand in his own.

"Wow. Someone is smitten with me." He can feel his own cheeks rising in that color of red. "Feeling is mutual. I feel that way too." Holding his Kep, yes, his Kep, he just quietly closes his eyes. He could stay like this forever. "Maybe... I don't want another first date either." He'll let Kep think of that what he will.

The lack of knowledge with pocky has Ash smirk lovingly.

"It's chocolate. Kanto-made." He holds the box out. "Lots of teenagers love them. I had them a lot when I was a teen in Rocket during the Kanto days. See, couples stick one end to each of their mouths, and they slowly move together eating it till they kiss. It's cute." And then Ashley ups the flirtatious nature as he whispers into Kep's ear, the hot breath trailing from his lips. "Wanna try?" He wants to see that face burn brighter.

In truth though, if Kep wanted to spend the rest of the night making out, he'd follow suit. With how Ashley's arms were around Kepler, snuggling with him, the smaller male could ask for anything and Ash would provide it.

"Just kidding. Try one though. Bet you'll like'em."

He keeps staring lovingly at Kepler. Fuck... was he falling for him? His silvers are all over Kep. They can't stop looking. He understands 's husband then, why he said those words he did to Gavin when they spoke at the bar. It's still too early. Still. That fluttering in his chest. This is what Isaac must feel for Sunshine. Ashley gives his best attempt at a dreamy smile to Kep. "You have me all to yourself, darling." He steals a kiss.

Yup. Ashley's heart was skipping beats. He was happy. "So you're not leaving till morning."

Shades, Drip, MISSION, Oh, the power of Arceus does compel her EXPANDED MAP, credits to Tom Cartos!
The two children are afraid, and the psychoc playmate stares at Isaac and Ashley both, laughter echoing from her broken necked head. With Kurze saving Isaac from the world's most hands-free choke session, Ashley feels blood trickle from his head. With refocusing, he watches...

As Echo douses the girl in Life Dew, and Isaac shouts the age-old dictionary definition of movie trope exorcism.

It would be funnier if he didn't have a huge headache right now, but when the little girl laughs it off, hardly even bothered by the faux exorcism, she merely throws her hands up, readying to cleave either of them in half with her mind. Luckily, as Isaac rushes to the little girl, she hides immediately into Isaac's leg, shaking. "S-S-She's d-doing it a-a-a-again..." she cries out, whimpering. The young man quickly races up towards Isaac as well, hiding behind the other leg.

Ashley takes the moment to assist, by proceeding to toss the big gun. If it's not a Ghost, it's bustable, and for Jelly, that meant a momentum toss right at her, as he squeezes the life out of the little girl. Stumbling the best he can past the little blonde psycho, he looks at the Sableye.

They seemed... pleading? Their little balled fists beat against the paper tags.

"... you got it." Ashley rips one, two, three seals, and the little girl screams out. Leading Ashley to an idea. Grabbing all three, he races and places all three on her face... and to say that it wasn't bone-chilling, watching the blonde girl forcibly re-align her body in such graphic, disturbingly grindy, was a lie. Ashley, Lucia, Jelly, Bongo, Pulse, and Sunny were all privy to it.

The body began to disintegrate, the blonde girl fading into nothingness...

In its place, white fur, red tinges... A roar of utter hatred. A Zoroark with glowing red eyes, tearing off Jelly with brutal force, a cut and gash down the little Stufful's arm. This fight got a lot more complicated. Especially because, as Ashley watches her wail, the door begins to pound. Adult laughter behind it.

"... oh... fuck." Isaac should remember it well. It was Butchering time.

"Tell it to the dead Starly who was shot out of the sky. Tell it to the Lunatone that blew up, and the Aggron who got shot protecting it's trainer. I'm sure they'll agree too after you lot shot them dead." Ashley yells with primal fury behind every word, fueled by his own malice and self-loathing.

He watches the Heracross having been struck, and sees the trainer coming to its aid, every sense of self-preservation gone from the trainer. They were similar. Ashley's mind travels back to Bullet, flying so freely. Pluto, happily floating around and glad to exist in their presence. To Kiryu... Isaac's signature. He lets go for a moment... he's just like he was back then. His eyes lose all focus, a glaze coming over his irises, silver just staring on.

He says something. He doesn't know why. "... get the fuck out of here."

He actually says it to the Leaguer, but not without fiddling with the switchblade in his pocket. "Go." There's no malice in his voice.

There's an emptiness now. A void inside of him. He even returns Pulse, Bongo staring at Ashley with a look of concern. Ashley's guilt weighed down on him.

you loved them. and you killed them.

The voice in his head doesn't stop.

No matter how much it plays in his head, he can't get it out. It burns, it burns hot in his mind. Guilt scorches his mind, and leaves him completely vulnerable to the Rock Slide, watching Pulse fall underneath the rubble. His lips part, his pupils shrink again.

Not again... not again...

Pulse levitates pained by the direct strike, turning towards Ashley. The electric Pokemon is shaking, but not out. No no, as Ashley's mind is snapping under it all, he hears the words... what does he know? Ashley's roar comes out in response, that anguish forging into disgust.

The League did this. The League is the problem. With a finger pointed forward at him, he yells, bloodshot eyes burning with tears pricked.

Your fault.

"You take so many of ours. All you had to do was to incapacitate. But no. You killed. You took from us. You Leaguers are no better than Rocket." Pulse makes the static-y roar, as a HEX surge of purple energy envelopes the Heracross. Pulse was just doing as instructed, but they are on their last reserves of energy after that hefty Rock Slide.

"Go to hell."

Luckily, Kurze tore away that axe before the armor had another chance, and with a flat out slash down, it not only slapped the armament's gauntlets, but it also tore that axe in half. The armor begins to fall away, as they both hear two sets of laughter; children's and the Butcher's.

Hand-in-hand, Ash, Kurze, and the Ash squad head right for that bottom-left room, where it is locked, but not for long. Because Ash is tired of this fucking place, and he barrels through the door, smashing the lock and breaking it open. Revealing four figures.

A blonde girl who stood with just the whites of her eyes revealed. A twisted smile on her face, her neck practically snaps as she waves to the two of them. Another girl, black hair, fearful of the blonde girl who stood there with a snapped neck (yet she looked fine?), and backs up with a little Buneary doll in her arms. Finally, a boy in the back, who was hidden beneath what looked like a small cupboard.

"Thank you for joining us tonight." the blonde girl says, as a lamp flies out and slaps Ashley on the head, smashing the lamp completely as he grabs at the back of his head. He was bleeding now. "Did you enjoy the show so far? I wanted to kill the bitch myself, but she left with her husband, so now I have to kill her children." She smirks, with it comes a psychokinetic blade coming up, targeted at the little black-haired girl.

Was she possessed? Probably.

Ashley points out, woozy from the lamp strike, as Isaac is, unless shaking it off, flung into the door, attempting to be choked out by psychic power.

"Fuck my head..." Ash is starting to see doubles, and his vision is getting worse, but he tries to shake it off. "Lucia..." He makes the call. "Rip her apart." The Pachirisu flies like the wind, attempting to HYPER FANG the blonde girl, but the blonde girl LEVITATES out of the way. Lucia turns around and goes for another, only to miss again. As Ash holds onto his head, he gazes at Isaac.

Nearby, a SABLEYE bangs on with both arms, a small cage with a bunch of paper tags on it. Its eyes are looking at Isaac and Ashley both. It doesn't seem to be hostile...?

Seeing Isaac affected as badly as he was was downright startling to Ash, and with a nod, he prepares himself for what is to come. Their options are weighed, and Isaac agrees with his own desire to scout first. It was better than going up against that scary level shit.

No amount of meddling kids were gonna stop this nightmare. No mask pulls. This was either a cleverly created ruse of special effects, or this was some real fucking shit. Judging by that oppressive feeling in his chest, Ashley felt the need to agree with Isaac then and there.

"Agreed... it'll give us an idea of the floorplan, and since he didn't come after us in the battle, he must be slow. That... or asleep." Both were horrifying thoughts that Ashley didn't want to confirm. One suggested that this haunted house just got more so, and the other was the fact they would have to hide much more often when they heard him. "Okay. I'll go first this time, kay?"

Ashley begins to creep up the stairs, and though they creak with a little extra loudness, he gestures for his Pokemon to follow. Sunny heads up the railing, while Bongo begins to jump from step to step while carrying Jelly and Lucia. Pulse merely floats, leading Isaac up to the second floor.

The first thing is the red carpet over the majority of the room. The candles were still on up here. Two suits of armor, one with an axe, one with a sword. Six sets of doors. Ashley listens closely. The sound of children's laughter was heard in the bottom-left door, and it was rather easy to hear. The left and right doors have no sounds, with another crackling in the bottom right. But both doors at the back had the sounds of movement inside.

Deciding to take a little initiative since this was his idea, Ash takes a step, and peeks through the doors directly beside the stairwell, the open fresh air nice on his lungs...

Until a suit of armor moves by itself, throwing the axe downwards upon Ashley's back, attempting to slice him in two. Oldest trick in the book, Ashley falls out the other side, narrowly dodging his executioner, and yelps extra loud, and quickly covers his mouth. The axe now right next to his pants, where his family jewels were.

"Those are spoken for! ... shit."

Laughter begins to sound from downstairs. Ashley looks to Isaac like a Deerling in headlights.

It was at a walk, but the shadowy figure had been walking after Isaac, a sound of laughter echoing in the halls, as the butcher blade moved behind it. The ethereal laughter that it was, it echoed past the corner Isaac ran around before the teleport. Once it was though...

Its laughter began to boom through the halls.

With a panicked Isaac, deathly pale, Ashley's face mats in sweat, as he makes a quiet breath, before patting Isaac. It's reassurance, but Ashley has no idea if it's working. Or who that was meant for. "Hey, you're good now." He's trying not to let that fear show. Isaac's babbling really was making it hard to focus.

Ash says it out in the open.

"That settles it. The Butcher is haunting here." They don't know how long they actually have, and while they were safe in the room, they needed to move sooner than later. Which led Ash to getting up. Sunny and Lucia attempt to pat Echo and make the Ralts feel better, as Bongo pats Isaac to try and get him in lighter spirits.

This all explains why the babysitters never stayed. Or never returned.

The only way through was forward. "There's a room to our immediate right. But if we go up the stairs, we can put some distance between us and him. We don't know what's in that side room. Could be important. Of course, we could get the jump on Mr. Walker instead." But judging from Isaac, that might not be a good idea.

"The sneaky way up or to the side... or the loud way, and we face it?"

Maple did his job, and with a thrown hand up, he knew that while that bird could come back later, he needed to deal with the Dodrio in front of him. Luckily, Sanford was doing just that taking place and attempting a Whirlpool, and finding itself trapped in place. Despite being one down, Ashley threw his hand up. Damn right, they had Gavin on the backf-

Corviknight switches to Sandslash, and Ashley's grin was gone, because through the vortex of water, the surprise attack hits Maple dead on, and the Eevee flies backwards, rolling a good deal. He's not out, as he gets up onto his feet, but Ash's rust was showing.

Thankfully though, if they weren't to play fair, Ash had an ace in the hole. "Maple, take a rest." Maple walks with a limp to Ash.

Grabbing Bongo's stick from the restless monkey, he looks to the monkey, who holds to both sides of it. "Ride with the wind, Bongo!" Ash decides, if they have to play dirty, to assist Bongo with some momentum, as he uses both arms to throw the thirty pound monkey out to get right to the Sandslash, and perform a momentum-based WOOD HAMMER to slap the pangolin silly, as a means to switch out.

Ash had no reservations. He knew this fight was uphill, but it was a learning experience. "Bongo is the strongest member of my team, Gavin. I'm sure you'll find out soon enough."

Bongo begins to beat his chest like a gorilla, and makes the hooting, the howlering, and the screaming. Each time he beats his chest, he looks towards the ceiling, preparing the next strike.

"I also think he's going through monkey puberty." That was neither here nor there.

tl;dr:

- maple takes the tri-attack, heavily damaged.
- bongo is subbed in, thrown by ashley
- bongo uses momentum to wood hammer the sandslash combatant
- bongo is now beating his chest like a monkey
- monkey puberty.

Ash was busy in thought, looking over the piece of newspaper again. It's old, its burnt, and it was almost hard to see, but he recognizes it as sunbleached. His mouth is open, as he feels like he's piecing things together.

With a nod to Isaac, he pats him on the shoulder before he goes. "Stay safe... I think I'm onto something, I'm going to look something up." He pulls his phone out, revealing Pulse. Just as Isaac leaves, Ash says the following.

"The Butcher. Serial Killer. Look for a name. An obituary." Pulse makes a nod and begins its search.

Poof.

Isaac finds himself back in the lobby. An oppressive force weighing down on him. It isn't a Pokemon. No, this is much worse than a Pokemon. Standing alone within the darkness of the foyer, a shadowy figure stares at him. Right in the eyes. It has two white beady eyes, and jagged teeth that move every which way, its mouth an inky blackness. The shadowy thing stares on, a twisted smile on its face, the weapon of choice at its side a big butcher's blade, as it takes a step forward. The way it walks is like a limp, carrying the blade behind it, as it's eyes fade from white to red. The oppressive feeling continues to weigh down on Isaac and Echo, to a degree that it might make it hard to breathe. It gets closer. It gets so much closer, it makes it right next to him.



Towering now at nine feet tall, the blade looks much bigger up close. Those jagged teeth all curved in a way, but there's something within those teeth now that Isaac could see if he stays. A piece of flesh... human flesh.

Back in the living area, Ashley's hand is on his chin. "Jamieson Walker... dead at 72, attempted a home invasion last year and died of laughter within the manor..." His face was pale, as he turns to the returning Isaac.

"You okay?"

Oooooh, that makes sense. So this is her. Sunshine. By the singular kiss given, he doesn't need to look a second longer. He's gotten enough info from Isaac to put a title on this beauty, and as such, the couple has it handled. He doesn't need to worry about turning his back to the opposition.

As is, Ash had Aki to worry about, and aside from burying her face into his chest, the man blinks quickly, patting her head, and attempting to calm her by getting her through the panic attack. "It's okay." The moment he sees the anxiety meds, he grabs them from her hands, and calmly twists the cap, handing it back to Aki with a smile.

"Let it all out. You're safe now." He gently pats her head. If she poured too many, he'd step in and keep her from going over.

He's watching her closely, and with Sunshine and the Homie doing their best to tango with the street punks, Ashley figures best thing to do is to console, keep her out of it. Here Ash was, starting to have a bad day. Now, he's consoling a woman having an anxiety attack.

What a weird day today was.

"Everything is going to be okay."
