Chapter Twenty Four - Torture Test
#24 of Part One - Life Through The Eyes Of A Former Human
"Why does he sound like Ben?" Electra asked as she walked over to him, frowning as she helped him to his feet, smiling. "Hehe, what are you trying to do? You're stumbling all over the place!" she laughed.
Slowly, I walked over to Electra. I didn't want to believe it, but it was true. That Pikachu had to be Ben.
"Electra... That's... Ben..." I said, frowning as I looked down at the carpet.
"Of course it's me, who else would I be?" Ben said as he tried to walk again, stumbling and falling flat on his belly.
"You're funny..." Cammy giggled as she walked over to Ben and lay down next to him, smiling. "What are you doing?"
"Well I'm TRYING to wal- wait... You're talking... And so is Dallas... Errr, Brian... Whatever... You still talked!" he yelled.
"Ben... You're a Pikachu, you can understand us now..." I said, wondering how he didn't figure that out himself.
"Well that makes sense... And you sound a lot different than you did when I listened to you as a person... And even as a Pikachu when I was a person... And... HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?" He yelled as he scrambled back to his feet.
"Well I don't really know... It happened the same way it happened with me... It hurt like hell, and I fell asleep. Woke up as a Pikachu..."
"Yes I know that! But HOW did it happen? What made it happen?"
"Well the Pikachu that attacked you was most likely Starlight... She's the one that attacked me too, and changed me into a Pikachu as well... I thought I drove her out of the colony, but apparently she came back once I left... If I'd known she was there, I would have moved you somewhere else before I went inside..."
"Yeah, you should have!" Ben said as he took a step forward, growling. "I'll kill you sometime later... Like, when I'm able to actually WALK right... Now where is Starlight? I'll freaking kill her!" he yelled.
"You can't kill her... You don't even know how to walk right... Now let me tell you a couple of things. Right now, you're a Pikachu that knows no moves. You don't know how to use electrical attacks, and you don't even know how to walk. You go into the woods like that, and any wild Pokemon out there can gobble you up, and you can't do a thing about it because you don't know any moves. Another thing is, you're going to have random urges, and strong feelings that tell you something's behind you, or you should jump to the right, or duck, or just run and get away. Those are your instincts. FOLLOW THEM. I know you'll think it's weird to act like a Pikachu and follow the urges, but trust me, it's not weird at all. What's weird is a Pikachu that DOESN'T follow them. And one more thing, don't fight it. Let go of your human side and you'll be much happier. There's nothing we can do to change you back, so you're stuck like this. You can't go to work anymore, or anything like that. Kevin has to handle all the bills and stuff. And yes, I know he's kind of stupid, and leaving everything to him is a stupid idea, but we have no choice."
"Yeah, Kevin is a freaking idiot." Electra said as she hugged me, smiling. "We should go down and eat, I'm hungry."
"I'll keep that all in mind... Maybe..." Ben said as he leaned against the wall, slowly walking to the stairs. "And is that Electra talking? She sounds so much cuter when I actually hear what she's saying..."
Electra walked over to him, frowning as she looked him in the eye. "Cuter? What do you mean cuter? I don't even like you! You took my food away when you were a human. You're just lucky you didn't do it again, because now I'm REALLY protective over my food. Touch it and you DIE!" She yelled as she ran down the stairs.
"Wow, she's mean..." Ben said as he looked at me. "And you're in love with that?"
"What's wrong with being in love with an aggressive female? She's actually really nice, and I'm not going to get into all the reasons I really love her, so you're just going to have to hang around with us and find out. Oh, and another thing. Since you can't go to work anymore, you'll be spending a lot of time with us. You finally get to spend time with Electra, like you always wanted to."
"Yeah, but she wants me dead now, and now that I understand her, I don't exactly like her at all. She's freaking mean... And holy hell I can feel energy flowing off of you like a freaking geyser..."
I chuckled. "Well if you're nice you her, she'll be nice back. And yes, I am very powerful." I said as I frowned at Cammy, who was sniffing the back of Ben's head.
"What the heck?" He said as he turned around, frowning. "What are you doing?"
"Well you smell nice... I like it." She giggled as she wagged her tail.
"Oh... Thanks I guess..." Ben said, smiling.
"And one more thing, there's nothing wrong with being with another Pikachu... Having a female is the best thing ever..." I said as I walked downstairs, smiling as I walked through the hall and entered the kitchen. I waited there for a minute or two until Ben came downstairs. Cammy was holding his paw and helping him walk down the stairs, and I could tell Ben already liked her. I smiled at them as I walked over to Electra and hugged her, giggling.
"Hehe, so what do you want to eat this morning?" I chuckled as I opened the cabinet door, peeking inside and smiling. "You pick."
"Ben." Electra grinned.
Cammy and Ben walked up to us, and Cammy let go of his paw, giggling as she kissed his cheek. Ben blushed and turned away, fiddling with his paws.
"Um... Cammy... W-what w... N-never mind..." He said as he turned back around, suddenly all nervous.
"Wow Ben, already you like her and stuff... That's faster than Electra liked ME! I think..."
"No, I liked you the second you spoke. Your voice is so cute and stuff." She giggled as she kissed my cheek. "And then once I felt your power coming out of you like that, I wanted to mate immediately. I thought, that with power like yours, you would be able to deliver some really powerful thrusts inside of me and really make me squirm on the bed, and DAMN was I right!" She laughed as she hugged me tightly, wagging her tail. "With powerful moves comes powerful mating!" She laughed.
"Awww... Thanks..." I smiled as I pulled out a bag of dry food, blushing as I sliced the top off with my claws, knowing we didn't have to close it again because Electra would most likely eat it all.
"Dallas what the hell..." Ben said as he walked over to me, looking down at the food in the bag and frowning. "That's going to go stale now... And if you think I'm going to eat that, think again..." he growled.
I laughed as I scooped some up in my paw. "No it's not, and you'll see why... And actually it tastes pretty good, try some." I said as I held out my paw, smiling.
"Ugh..." Ben mumbled as he took some out of my paw, frowning as he sniffed it, then gave it a small lick, before sticking it in his mouth and chewing it slowly.
"Actually... You're right..." He said as he swallowed, smiling. "It really isn't that bad. It's actually kind of good."
I smiled as I filled Electra's bowl, then moved over to mine, frowning as it was still full from lat night, before moving over to Cammy's and pouring some more into it, placing the bag down next to Electra's bowl and chuckling as I got down onto all fours and shoved my face into my bowl, eating it as if I were starving.
"Wow Brian..." Ben said as he reached down and took some out of Cammy's bowl, smiling. "We can share I guess..."
"Yeah!" Cammy giggled as she scooped some into her paw and tossed it into her mouth. Electra picked up her bowl and poured it back into the bag, which caught my attention immediately. Placing her bowl down, she picked up the bag and scooped up a pawfull, shoving it into her mouth and swallowing it down, taking another pawfull out and shoving it into her mouth.
"Wow Electra, slow down..." Ben said as he walked over to her and reached out for the bag.
"BEN NO!" I shouted as I grabbed him and pulled him away, just as Electra went to grab him. "Freaking let her eat the way she wants to! You're going to get yourself killed if you do that again!" I yelled as I pushed him into the wall.
He frowned as he looked at her, then me, sighing as he nodded. "Well you seem to know more about this than I do, so fine. I'll leave it alone... But if she chokes, I'm not helping." he growled.
"She's not going to choke..." I said as I looked at her, sighing. "Just don't ever do that again..."
"Wow, look at the way she's... Eating it though..." He mumbled as he stared at her.
"Yeah, I know..." I said, smiling as I walked over to her and patted her back.
Electra poured the rest of it into her mouth and swallowed it, chuckling as she dropped the empty bag onto the floor and patted her belly. "DONE."
I chuckled and kissed her cheek, smiling. "What are you, trying to set a record?"
"Exactly." She giggled as she hugged me, wagging her tail.
Ben walked up and curiously poked her belly, frowning.
"Wow... H-how much can you... Eat?" He asked, nervously scratching his right arm.
"I don't know..." Electra said as she giggled. "The most I've eaten was a Charmander and a Pikachu. Dallas fed them to me." She giggled.
"W-wow..." Ben mumbled, scratching his arm again. "We're going to need more food than I thought... And when you ate that Furret... It was actually kind of cool..." He smiled as he hugged her gently. She frowned and hugged him back, wagging her tail again.
"Well thanks I guess? Anyway, we should eat more... I'm still hungry..." she said as she looked around.
"You always are..." I laughed as I patted her back again, chuckling. "I should feed Ben to you..."
"That'd be nice." She chuckled as she leaned over and licked his cheek.
Ben took a couple steps back, shaking his head. "N-nono... I'd like to remain alive, thank you."
"I'm joking." I chuckled as I walked up to him and patted his back. "I wouldn't do that. And besides, you WOULD remain alive for a little while..." I joked. "I'm kidding..."
"I'm not..." Electra grinned as she folded her arms. "I really want to eat you..."
"Yeah, she's definitely not joking..." I said as I looked down, frowning. "You'd better not do anything to make her mad or anything, or you'll be on the menu, I'm not joking either..." I frowned.
"Yeah, I believe you..." Ben said as he took another step back. "But... Electra... When you eat all that. Shouldn't it, well... Make you fat? I mean, with the way you eat, you should be huge!"
I slapped my forehead, knowing that Ben had just crossed the line.
"Well... No actually... It doesn't show on me." Electra giggled.
Maybe Electra didn't take it offensively...
"Actually, I think the same thing. I weigh a lot because I eat a lot, but yet I'm not fat. But I like to think of myself as being fat because I'm heavy. I know, it's weird, but I'd actually like it better if I WERE fat. I mean, it'd make me feel bigger and stuff... Plus, like Dallas says, it's more to love." She giggled as she wagged her tail faster. "But you know what..." She said as she walked towards Ben, chuckling as she walked right past him and into the living room, standing in the middle of the room and turning around to face us. "I actually don't mind if I'm called fat. I mean, it's kind of true." She giggled as she sat down. "If I sit on you, your bones will break. This is too much Pika for you to take." She chuckled. "When you're only eating seconds, I'm eating YOU. "You can't handle all this, only Dallas can." She laughed.
"Wow Electra..." I laughed as I walked over to her and sat down next to her, leaning against her and smiling. "You're freaking awesome..."
"Wow..." Ben said as he walked over to us and sat down on the other side of Electra. "I actually kinda of... Don't mind you now... I mean, I thought you were mean and stuff... But you're actually funny..." he smiled.
"Yeah, you're not so bad yourself either." Electra chuckled as she licked his cheek. "A good meal is never something to dislike..."
"HEY!" Ben snapped as he looked at her. "I'm not your meal!" He pouted.
"Not YET at least." Electra grinned.
"Well... Stop licking me... It's weird..." he said, frowning.
I laughed as I looked at Ben. "No it's not, it's one of the ways you show affection... You're a Pikachu now Ben, you have to remember that. You've gotta act like one. Accept that licking isn't weird and stuff, eat things off the floor, mate with all the females you can get..."
"I don't even KNOW you anymore..." He said as he grabbed his ears and tugged on them. "Eating off the floor? Licking eachother? That's disgusting! I thought you did it because you didn't know any better, but apparently you do know better, and yet you do it anyway..."
"HEY! There is NOTHING wrong with eating off the floor! Food is food, no matter where it is!" Electra snapped as she flattened her ears to the back of her head.
"You and your food..." Ben mumbled as he scooted away from her a bit. "Are there any other screwed up things that you so that I should know about? Eat out of the litter box? Drink out of the toilet? Not to mention I have to USE that litter box now..."
I sighed, shaking my head. "We're not Growlihes... We don't do any of that... You're just trying to be mean now, and I'd like it if you stopped..." I said as I lowered my ears, sighing. "What I do is not disgusting. I choose to do what I do, and Electra chooses to do what she does. We are not gross, we are simply Pikachu that don't care. We're not going to get sick if we eat a little dirt off the floor, not going to catch a disease if we lick eachother clean, not going to die if we use a litter box. It's natural for what I am. I am a Pikachu, and I'm going to act like one whether you like it or not." I said in a low tone, a bit annoyed now.
"No Brian, you're not. You're HUMAN. You are NOT an animal, and I expect you to ACT human. No more eating off the floor, no more licking eachother, none of that. I don't even like the fact that you're dating a Pikachu. If you ask me, that's fucked up. A human being with a Pikachu. What the hell has gotten into you? We are NOT animals. We have morals, and w-"
Growling, I tackled him to the floor, growling as I dug my claws into his belly. I didn't dig them deep, just enough so that he could feel it. I snarled at him as I pressed my face against his, sparks flying from my cheeks.
"Who do you think you are? My fucking MOTHER?" I snarled as I pressed my face against his, sparks flying from my cheeks. "Now you listen here, BEN! Who the HELL are you to tell me what I can and can't do? Do you honestly THINK we're freaking human? Take a look in a mirror! What the hell do you see? A human? I don't think so! I am a PIKACHU, and I am an ANIMAL, and as long as I am, I am going to ACT like one! Whether you like it or not, I'm going to lick Electra all I want, we're going to mate on the couch, we're going to eat off the floor all we want, and I don't give a SHIT what you say about it, because I'm still going to do it!" I said as I got up off of him, growling. "And there is NOTHING wrong with being in love with a female. NOTHING!" I said as I walked over to Electra and hugged her, kissing her mouth hard, practically sucking her tongue right out of her mouth as we kissed. When I stopped, I turned to Ben, who was sitting up now and staring at me. "I don't know who you think you are Ben, but you do NOT run the place here, you're not human anymore, and you have NO power over me. You're a defenseless animal in a world full of predators! And running your mouth is NOT going to help you!" I growled as I pulled Electra into another kiss.
"You're sexy when you're angry..." Electra said, giggling as she rubbed my back.
"And if you ever insult our kind again, or make fun of what we do, because your stupid human mind thinks it's gross, I will tear you apart. You're right, I DON'T know you anymore, and since I don't, I'll have no problem ripping you to shreds if you don't like what you are. You're a Pikachu like the rest of us, and there's nothing you can do. There is NO going back. We are what we are, and you're just going to have to accept it." I said as I hugged Electra again, grinning. "And if you want to survive, you'd better start kissing our asses, because right now, we aren't going to teach you a DAMN thing as far as defending yourself and stuff. YOU started the war, and now I can honestly say that I really don't like you anymore. I can also guarantee that Electra probably hates you right now. So as far as I'm concerned, you can just screw off for now unless you're ASKING to die." I growled as I buried my face in Electra's neck, purring softly as I nibbled at it.
"Eee! Dallas that tickles!" She giggled as she pawed at me, trying to push me away. I chuckled and stopped, and when I looked up, Ben was gone.
"I don't think you went hard enough on him... You know, you have to really yell at them if you want them to learn that you're not playing around... You're getting there though, because you got in his face and stuff, and you had sparks flying off your cheeks, but if you really want to get to him, you've gotta do more. You have to eat him, or at least half eat him. Like, you can feed him to me next time he does something like that. Make him beg for his life and stuff. And once he apologizes, you can pull him out."
"Electra that's a terrible idea... We both know that if I were to do that, you'd never let go of him, you'd just devour him with a smile on your face."
"Exactly." She chuckled as she leaned against me, licking my neck. "Isn't that what you want?"
"Well, not yet... I mean, we can still give him a chance I guess... And I realize that he's on your hit list or whatever you want to call it... The list of things you're planning to eat... And I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm actually glad that you're going to be mean to him and stuff, because he really does need to be taught a lesson. All I ask is that you don't kill him, or even come close to killing him. Leave him alive and stuff..." I laughed as I poked her side. "He won't learn anything if he's dead."
Electra poked me back and chuckled. "Fine, I'll be meaner than I usually am... But, is this like, the start of that training you were talking about? You know, the one that would make me mean and more of a predator?" She smiled as she wagged her tail.
"Well if you want it to be, then sure." I said as I kissed her cheek. "Just no killing him okay?"
"Well what if I were to tie a rope to his foot or his tail or something, and then eat him? And I can pull him out later and stuff..."
"Electra... That's actually not a bad idea, but I don't know if it'd work. Just to be safe, don't try it if I'm not around to help out if it goes wrong... But... Eh, it sounds like it'd probably work... So if you're like, really anxious to do it, then go ahead. But I'm not really sure if it's a good idea... I'd rather you not do that..."
"YAY!" She giggled as she jumped into the air, hugging me tightly as she completely ignored the part about me warning her not to do it, kissing me right on the mouth as she wagged her tail. "I promise I'll get him back somehow. I won't lose him, I'll get him back out." She giggled as she ran out of the room.
"ELECTRA DON'T DO IT NOWWWW! YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL HE DOES SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU MAD!" I yelled as I ran out after her, bumping into her in the hallway and stumbling backwards.
"Oh yeah... Hehe, well okay. But he needs to be roughed up a bit. Just talking to him is not going to change him at all." She said as she turned around and smiled, her ears perked up as she walked over to me and hugged me again, smiling. "We should eat... I'm hungry..."
"Hehe, go ahead." I laughed as I poked her side. "I'm not really hungry at all. But wait, I have a question... When you eat, do you even feel it in your belly? Or does it feel like there's nothing there? I mean, you devoured a whole bag of food that would probably feed any other Pikachu for about two or three weeks, and you still want more. You ate a whole Charmander and a Pikachu, and still wanted more. Do you even feel it inside you, or is it like nothing's there?" I asked her curiously.
She chuckled as she patted her belly. "Actually, that's a good question. Normally, I don't really feel it. I can feel it going down my throat, then it's just gone. But when I ate the Charmander and Stryder, I actually felt them there. They felt like a small heavy feeling. It just felt like I had something small and heavy sitting in the bottom of my belly, it didn't make me feel full at all. I could feel them moving around for a couple minutes, then they stopped and it was just the heavy feeling." She giggled as she poked my mouth. "Not a full feeling, just a tiny weight in the bottom of my belly, nothing else."
I smiled and nodded, gently nipping her finger and giggling. "So if that was a small feeling, then what would be a big one?" I chuckled as I poked her nose, smiling. "I'm actually wondering what it would take to fill you up... I mean, back at the restaurant, I remember you ate everything on everyone's plate and you were like, really full. You couldn't move and stuff... But now that I think of it, all that you ate there wasn't even a quarter of what I fed you in the woods... I mean, everything on everyone's plate would probably be the size of the Charmander's head if you piled it all up, and yet you devoured the whole Charmander, and a whole Pikachu, not to mention a bunch of other random things. And now you're saying that that was just a tiny feeling in your stomach. So now I'm wondering, if we had gotten into the restaurant yesterday, would you have cleaned out their whole food supply? And if you did, would you still want more? Just the fact that you can eat like this is mind blowing to me. I find it simply amazing, and it makes you sooooo freaking cute... But I really would love to see you eat until you're full, then like, cuddle and stuff... It'd be so awesome..." I blushed as I looked down.
Electra chuckled and nodded as she hugged me again. "Well, back at the restaurant, When I was full, something weird happened... You remember when I was in the metal thingy on the seat, and I was laying on my back in the cool air? And then I suddenly got up and I was all fine and stuff, and I didn't seem full anymore? And then I suddenly had to pee? Well, right before I had to pee, something weird happened. I felt like, really really full, and I couldn't move at all because it kind of hurt. Then all of a sudden, I felt something inside me move, and then I felt this weird... Thing... I don't know how to describe it. It felt like that feeling when you swallow something big and it falls into your belly, and you feel it hit the bottom. But it was the opposite kind of. It felt like everything fell OUT of my belly and hit the bottom, which makes no sense at all, I know, but then I was no longer full... And I sat up and had to pee... Ever since then I've never been full, and It seems like I need more and more food to just feel that tiny weight in my belly... The day after that, I was able to eat all of the food in my bowl, and in yours, and still feel it there, but now, I eat a whole bag of food and I feel nothing." She frowned as she looked down. "If you ask me though, I actually enjoy eating. It kind of makes me happy knowing I can eat so much... I don't know why, but it makes me feel... Proud of myself... In a way..." she giggled.
I listened closely to everything she said, going over it in my head over and over, before nodding. "Well I don't know what happened, but whatever it was, was a good thing, right?"
"Of course it was. I can eat so much now... And I also want to see what my limit is. I mean, if I can swallow a Pikachu and a Charmander with little effort, then just imagine what my limit is. My dream is to eat a human... A whole human... Without chewing or anything... And I want to do it in front of a bunch of people so they can all see what I'm capable of... And obviously one isn't going to fill me, so I'm going to keep eating them until I'm full, or at least until they all run away and stuff..." she grinned.
"Err... Wow..." I chuckled as I patted her back, smiling. "I think I can help you with that... I'd actually be willing to help you reach that goal... But first, we have to start smaller. Like I said, I want to take you into the woods and train you more, to be an excellent predator. Once we get a couple Pokemon down you, probably ones that are bigger than you, like Buizel and Empoleon, and stuff like that, then we can move on to humans if you want to." I smiled as I poked her belly.
"Empoleon will be easy... They're all slippery and smooth, I'd rather not go after those..." she chuckled.
I smiled and nodded. "You get to choose what you want and what you don't want. But by the time we're done training, you're going to be one extremely aggressive female to those on your lunch menu." I chuckled as I hugged her.
"My lunch menu... Wow Dallas..." She laughed as she hugged me back, wagging her tail. "Good name for it too. But how about... We name it Lunch Reserve? Or nom list?"
"Nom list huh? Well it sounds alright. Makes more sense too if you think about it..." I said as I poked her belly again.
"Hehe, well so far Ben's on my nom list." She giggled as she licked my cheek. "That sounds funny!"
"Well, Ben's probably just finding out that his hearing and eyesight are much greater than they used to be, and he's probably listening to everything we're saying." I frowned.
"I'm sooo going to kill him if he is..." She said as she poked my nose. "Pooooke..." I poked you. See? Poke." She giggled as she poked me again.
I frowned and shook my head, giggling. "Heyyy! Poking my nose feels weird!"
"Well poking my belly feels weird too!" She laughed as she poked my belly. "Come on, let's eat stuff."
"Ooh, it does..." I giggled as I quickly poked her side before she got a chance to run off, giggling as I followed her to the cabinet. She opened it and took out a box of cereal, frowning at it and holding it out to me.
"What the heck is this and why is it in here?" She asked as she looked at the box, frowning as she sniffed it. "It smells like... I don't know... Something nasty..." She said as she tossed the box to the right and pulled out a bag of dry food, frowning as she opened it. "Here we go..."
I giggled as I walked over to her, leaning against her as she scooped some in her paw and put it in her mouth, She chewed it probably twice before she swallowed and put the bag down, stepping away from it.
"That... is DISGUSTING!" She yelled as she pointed at the bag, making a face. "EWWWWWW!!!!"
I frowned as I walked up to it and looked inside. Inside the bag, was Cheerios. It was the kind of cereal you buy in bags instead of boxes. Why was cereal in there anyway?
"Electra it isn't even Pokechow... You put it in milk, and I agree, this stuff is nasty even IN milk. Didn't you notice that the bag was plastic and not papery?"
"Well it's a bag and it had stuff in it so how was I supposed to know?" She asked as she walked back over to it and scooped up another pawfull, sticking it in her mouth and munching on it.
"You just said it was gross..." I frowned as I watched her eat more of it, now confused.
"Yeah, I know it's not Pokechow, and I know it tastes gross, but I kind of like it." She said as she scooped up a little more and shoved it into her mouth.
"Um... It's gross so it tastes good... You confuse me sometimes." I chuckled as I poked her belly. She giggled and took a step back, picking up the bag of cereal and giggling.
"Well I don't know how to explain it... I don't like it, but I like part of it... I don't know... I'm eating it anyway, it's good now." She giggled as she scooped up a bit more in her paw.
"Hold on, I can make it better..." I smiled as I hopped up onto the counter and grabbed the bag of sugar, giggling as I hopped down and poured some sugar into her bag of Cheerios. "Now try it."
She frowned as she stared at the sugary cereal for a couple seconds before reaching in and taking some, slowly putting it in her mouth and giggling.
"Now it tastes sweet... It's awesome!" She giggled as she grabbed the bag of sugar from me and dumped about a quarter of it into the bag of cheerios.
"Um... A bit too much I think... Eh, what the hell... We're Pikachu, and we're active like all the time. We can use some energy I guess... Not that feeding you a bag of sugar would even do anything to you, because I'm sure it wouldn't, but..." I said as I closed the bag and tossed it up onto the counter, grinning as it landed right side up.
"Dallas what are you talking about?" Electra asked as she picked up the bag of Cheerios and walked into the hallway with it, giggling as Ben came down the stairs.
"Hey! Those are mine!" Ben said as he walked over to Electra and went to grab the Cheerios away from her, but stopped right before he touched them. "Err.... I mean... Can I have that bag of food?" He asked as he smiled at her, holding out his paws.
"No." Electra said as she reached in and took out another pawfull, stuffing it into her mouth and swallowing it down without even chewing it. "It's mine now. You should have hidden it if you didn't want me to have it."
"Hidden it where... You know, it won't hurt you to give up a little food once in a while..." Ben said as he gave her a weird look.
"Yes it will." Electra chuckled as she reached into the bag and took out another pawfull. "Now... if you want some, you can have SOME, but there's no way you're getting the whole bag." She said as she reached out her paw, the one that had the cereal in it.
"Well that's a start I guess..." Ben said as he reached out to take the Cheerios out of Electra's paw. As soon as he touched them, Electra let them go, and they fell back into the bag. She grinned as she grabbed his paw and tugged down, pulling Ben off of his feet. As soon as he hit the floor, she jumped on him and pinned him down, grinning as she turned around and whispered into his ear.
"Do you really think I'd offer YOU food? Really? Geez, you humans are so stupid!" She said as she lay down ontop of him, chuckling. "I think I'll just take a nap on this new rug..."
"G-get.... o-o-off... o-o-f... m-m-m-e..." Ben choked out as he tried to move, but couldn't. "Y-you're... s-s-o... H-H-HEAVY..." He chocked out as he closed his eyes tightly.
"Okay Electra, c'mon, get off of him." I chuckled as I walked over to her and patted her belly. "Don't kill him... Yet..."
"Awww... Fine..." She chuckled as she sat up, grinning as she stood up, looking down at Ben and chuckling as she turned around and placed her foot on his back, pressing down on it with all her weight. Ben grunted, and Electra chuckled as she lifted it. As soon as she lifted it up, Ben rolled to the left and smacked into the wall, grunting as he quickly scrambled to his feet, panting.
"You... need to... LOSE WEIGHT!" He yelled as his ears dropped to the sides, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. "For fuck sake! You practically crushed me!"
"Yeah? Well that's nothing compared to what's coming." Electra chuckled as she folded her arms, grinning as she quickly spun around, tripping Ben with her tail, the zigzag of it catching his leg and flinging him across the floor, into the kitchen. She laughed as she ran forward and pounced on him, grabbing him with her claws and rolling over so that he was ontop, before tossing him into the air with all fours and laughing as she rolled to the side, watching as Ben fell to the floor face-first.
"Whoops..." She giggled as she stood up. "I meant to catch you but I didn't get up in time..."
"You... You..." Ben said as he struggled to get up.
"Obviously you have no stamina at all. You CAN'T take a hit. If this were a battle, and I were using actual moves on you, I'd one hit K.O. you!" She chuckled as she folded her arms again, her tail glowing a shiny silver as Ben slowly got to his feet. "How about we test that... See if I can really one hit kill you..." She chuckled as she unfolded her arms.
"Electra you're going to kill him..." I frowned as I walked up to her, placing my paw on her shoulder. "Iron tail is deadly, and kills even experienced Pokemon. I almost tore an Ivysaur's head off with it... you'll literally splatter him everywhere if you do that..." I frowned.
"You're right... I should do something a bit less deadly..." She grinned as she rubbed her paws together. Ben was back on his belly, obviously hurt, as he tried to crawl away on all fours, but couldn't stand up properly, so he just dragged himself.
"But Ben... This is kind of sad really... Being taken down by a couple of small hits... She didn't even really attack you... An actual attack is much more powerful... All she did was toss you around really... And sit on you..." I said, frowning.
"Yeah, HER sitting on you is much more effective than you think!" Ben grunted as he tried to stand up.
"PIKA!" Electra squealed as she jumped into the air, twisting around into a front flip and smacking Ben right in the back with the thin edge of her tail.
"AHH!" Ben yelled as he was struck in the back, the force sending him flat on his belly before he even got a chance to get up on all fours, his eyes closed tightly as he just lay there, whining and trying to drag himself away from her.
"Dallas is so right... This is really pathetic..." She said as she grabbed his arm and flipped him onto his back, grinning as she stared down at him, a few sparks flying off of her cheeks. "Now... I know that electricity doesn't work on Pikachu, but you're not a Pikachu, you said so yourself... So, I wonder how much electricity it takes to make you faint..." She chuckled as she shot him in the side with a small bolt of electricity, grinning.
"One..."
She chuckled as she struck him with a full thunderbolt, laughing as Ben began spazzing out on the floor, his whole body twitching.
"One... Only one..."
"No, I'm still here..." Ben choked out as he tried to sit up. "I... I can't move... I can't move! What did you do to me!?"
"You're an idiot... You would have been better off just laying there and saying nothing... Now that I know you're still conscious, I'm REALLY going to show you how much of a Pikachu you AREN'T." She said as she grabbed him and pulled him to his feet, growling as he fell over.
"Ugh..." She mumbled as she grabbed his tail and dragged him into the dining room, opening the glass door and rolling him out onto the porch. I followed her out, closing the door as she rolled Ben through the railings and off the side of the porch, then jumped off. I ran to the side and poked my head through the railings, and looked down, frowning as I saw she'd landed next to him instead of on him.
"Geez, don't scare me like that... I thought you'd killed him..." I said as I jumped off the side, landing softly in the grass. It was about a two story drop, so if Electra had landed on him, he'd be all over the place! Literally!
"Hehe... I'm not going to kill him yet... I already said that... I'm going to make him suffer.." She chuckled as she picked up something blue and shoved it into his mouth, using one of her fingers to stick it down his throat. Ben coughed and choked before swallowing it, his eyes going wide.
"W-what did you just feed me?" He choked out as he sat up.
"Good... You can move again... Now relax, it was only a piece of an oran berry... It'll make you feel better..."
"Make me feel better? Well I already DO feel a bit better... But... Why would you want me better?" He asked as he stood up, taking a step back.
"Run and I kill you." She growled as she walked forward and grabbed his paw. "Because I want you to be alive and well when I do THIS." She said as she grabbed his tail and kicked his feet out from underneath him, chuckling as she pushed him down the hill. I sighed as I sat down, wagging my tail as I watched Electra run down the hill and pounce on Ben again. I chuckled as I lay down on my back and watched her hit him with another bolt of electricity, then grab his tail as she began dragging him again. She dragged him all the way to the other side of the pool, and I couldn't see them anymore.
"That can't be good..." I said to myself as I stood up and walked down the hill. I couldn't hear Ben yelling anymore, and I found that extremely weird. But by the time I got to the pool, I could just faintly hear Ben's voice. It was muffled, but I could still hear it. I sighed as I walked along the left side of the pool, knowing that whatever Electra was doing, she wasn't killing him.
"Electra... I think you're going a bit too hard on him..." I said as I walked around the tip of the left ear on the Pikachu pool, frowning as I only saw Electra standing there.
"Electra where's Ben?" I asked as I walked toward her, frowning. It had taken about two minutes for me to walk down the hill and around the pool, because I'd taken my time. Now that I didn't see Ben, I regretted taking my time.
Electra chuckled as she turned around, grinning as she looked at me, her tail wagging as she held her paws over her mouth. When she removed her paws, something brown fell to the ground.
"Electra what the heck is that?" I asked as I squinted at it, walking a bit faster, as I wanted to know what the heck it was.
"It's a rope." She giggled as she patted her belly, smiling.
Oh Arceus, she actually did it...
"What? Where the heck did you get a rope?" I asked as I walked up to her, poking her belly. "Did you really just eat him?"
"It was coiled up right here next to the pool!" She giggled. "And yes, I really ate him..." I asked, surprised.
I frowned as I got down onto all fours and placed my right ear against her belly, frowning since I didn't hear Ben. "Um... Well do you even feel him in there?" I asked as I stood up, poking her belly again as I smirked.
"Nope." She giggled as she poked mine back. "But he keeps pulling on the rope... I think he WANTS to die." She grinned as she let go of the rope. As soon as let it go, it shot into her mouth, as if Ben had actually been pulling on it.
"AH! GRAB IT!" I yelled as I quickly snatched it, holding it tightly. "Maybe he's trying to climb up!"
"Maybe he's trying to kill himself." She giggled as she grabbed ahold of the rope, grinning.
"I don't think that's what he's trying to do..." I said as I looked down at the rest of the rope. There was about twenty more feet of it coiled up at her feet. I frowned as I picked up what was left of the rope around the middle, about ten feet down the rope.
"Now I'm curious... Let it go..." I said as I held it tightly, frowning.
"No problem." She chuckled as she let go of the rope, closing her eyes as it quickly slid into her mouth, being tugged right down her throat as if there wee some sort of heavy object on the other end pulling it down. When It got to the part I was holding, it stopped only because I was holding it, and I could feel it was still being tugged on.
"What the heck?" I said as I poked her belly. "Jeez, how big IS your belly?" I chuckled as I put the rope in her paw, making sure she was holding onto it before I let it go. "That was about fifteen feet of rope that just disappeared into you as if he was pulling on it... There's no way he could be pulling it down that fast, so he must be climbing up... Either that or he's dangling on it..." I frowned. "Ugh, just get him out please. You promised you would..." I said as I looked over at the pool, then up the hill.
"Oh yeah, I did..." She frowned as she began pulling on the rope. "Fine, I'll get him out..."
"That's a good girl..." I chuckled as I patted her back. "I'm like, too weirded out to watch you do this, so... I'm walking back up to the house." I said as I turned around and began walking up the hill, once again not realizing I'd said a human word.
"Okay, see you later Dallas." She chuckled as she waved to me with one paw, before pulling hard on the rope with both of her paws.
"This is sooo creepy..." I mumbled as I began running up the hill, dashing up the stairs and into the door flap thingy, running into the living room and hopping up onto the couch. It was about ten minutes later that Electra came into the room, grinning as she walked over and hopped up onto the couch.
"Where's Ben?" I asked as I poked her belly, giggling.
"EEEE!!! Stop poking meeee!" She giggled as she pawed at my face. "Hehe, he's coming!"
"Oh, okay." I giggled as I hopped down off of the couch, smirking as I walked out into the kitchen, then out into the dining room, laughing as I heard Electra eating the Cheerios again. I walked over to the glass door and opened it, walking outside onto the porch and squealing as I saw Ben standing there on all fours, his ears drooped all the way down with his fur all soaking wet. He stood there with his tail between his legs and the rope was tied around his middle.
"Geez Ben, what the hell happened to you?" I asked as I walked over to him and frowned, not wanting to touch him.
"Your MATE freaking DEVOURED ME!" I thought I was going to FREAKING DIE!" He yelled as he coughed, shaking himself off, sending what I assumed to be Electra's drool all over the place. "I hung there on the rope forever... HUNG THERE! And she reaking dropped me! It was freaking empty space! I hung there in empty space... EMPTY SPACE! Oh Arceus..." He said as he took a step forward, muttering things to himself. "She's freaking empty inside... I was falling forever... She's freaking empty inside... Huge... Endless..." he mumbed.
"What do you mean? You were just dangling there?" I asked as I followed him, frowning.
"YES! I FREAKING HUNG THERE FOR LIKE A HALF HOUR!" He yelled as he stood up and tried to wipe some of the gunk out of his fur.
"Ben it was only a couple of minutes..." I frowned.
"Well it felt like a half hour!" He yelled. "How could you just sit there and let her do this to me!?" He yelled.
"Well, for many reasons actually... One, i-"
"Come on Dallas, I've got to take you to the Pokemon Center to register you." Kevin said as he walked out onto the porch, frowning as he looked at us. "Who's the new guy?"
"I... Am not... New..." Ben said as he looked up at Kevin, tears in his eyes as he stared at Electra, who was on his shoulder. "I'm Ben... And Electra freaking... A-ate me..." He mumbled before he burst into tears. "I can't take it anymore! S-she said I took her food.... I didn't touch it... She o-o-of-f-f-ffered it to me... I t-t-thought s-s-she was b-b-being nice..."
"B-Ben? Y-you're Ben? A-and you speak? Impossible..." Kevin mumbled as he stared down at us with a blank expression on his face.
