It was next to midnight, only the useless cloud covered moon and stars for light and it was rather chilly. Doesn't help that the wind was making it seem even colder. Even though it was obvious by now, those dark clouds that covered the sky formed awhile ago due to something called Giratina or whatever. It was yet to be explained to Yooka herself completely she only knows names to the subjects, it's all rumors to her.
Speaking of Yooka. She was currently on the road infront of her Father's place. It was practically a mansion in size, but that was overestimating what it really was. Most of it was just the shop with the upper floor being an apartment setup which was where she used to live. Oddly, there was still lights flickering in the shop, she fully expected the place to be completely dark or better yet, shut down. So seeing the lights made her question entering through the front. She wasn't really planning on heading for the front door anyway. She instead went around to the left side of the building so she can sneak through a window.
It was rather easy to get inside. The window's latch was broken and the stuff to warn of intruders was something she installed way before she left. She didn't find it odd that it wasn't touched even after such a long time, this place wasn't famous and her father knew nothing of how it works. The room she snuck into was actually her room... which was on the second floor. She simply just climbed the wall of the house to reach it. Nothing too serious considering the cliche vines growing around the house due to not being handled properly. Typical lazy Father. Although, something did seem off about how far and quickly nature had overgrown the place.
Her room was not however untouched. She noticed her stuff was neatly organized and the room was well cleaned. Something she never thought her Father would ever do.
"ok...?" She whispered. She looked around for a bit but didn't find what she was looking for: Her bag. She would need it if she were to go to Grassveil Town alone or escorted. It wasn't exactly a one day process, it was at least four, maybe a week. Someone was waiting for her elsewhere so she didn't stay in her room long.
She headed into the hallway and headed to the next room in the line of doors. three on each side with stairs on one end. Yooka's was the middle on the right if going by up the stairs view. She went straight to her father's room, the one directly next to her's at the end of the hall. Inside was an empty and clean bed. Yooka could only assume he was definitely awake considering he's not in bed. Why was this place so tidy? She searched this room aswell and found nothing. However, the family TM was not in it's usual place in it's glass casing. The case itself was not broken.
"Damnit! Did he sell it? I needed it!" She growled to herself. This wasnt really a big problem she knew the move already but that TM was pretty valuable and was the only one in the region as far as she knew. However, even though it was missing she noticed a dust line that outlined the TM's location in the casing. It was recently removed. She went to touch the glass but just as she touched the sides it seemed to break in an instant with glass shards everywhere.
She nearly jumped back. There was only a few who can do something like this. Yooka sighed as the only person she was told was a really caring person's TM was stolen. She could only remember rumors of her mother. She doesnt remember actually seeing her mother and there weren't any pictures around the house since her father went practically mad. Yooka doesn't even know what species her mother even was anymore. Although rumors were, her mother was a Quagsire, who was apparently known to be able to withstand the heaviest of hits with no injuries and can out tank a mega-sableye's gem. However, none of that could possibly be true, no one could be that awesome and Yooka thought the female pokemon was the species determining form for eggs. Her mother should be a Kecleon aswell. Either way her mother went missing inside serene cave when she went out for Grassveil Town to tell the news of Yooka's birth to her friends at the guild. Yooka considered it foolish everytime she thought about it. If the rumors were true, why or how did she go missing? It made no sense.
Now slightly angered she exited her Father's room and headed into her mother's room directly across the hall. Nothing exciting. It was just a mirrored look to her fathers. except where the TM case was, was a chest full of Poke. However,
this was the second sign something bad happened here rather than odd. The 7 locks were broken when she touched it and when she opened it the chest was empty. Stolen, just like the TM. Intruders had definitely came at some point or did her Father use it for his dumb needs. Yooka figured if anything it was just her stupid Father. Although, he isn't exactly dumb for a mercant he at least can hold his own still.
She grew annoyed knowing her mother's chest was looted for a potentially dumb reason. What could he possibly needed it for? She frowned as she could only think of him watching two Blazikin duking it out. Actually scratch that, she smirked as that would actually be cool if it wasn't so expensive. Nevermind, its too expensive to imagine.
Deciding to ignore the room next to her mother's for now and headed straight for the kitchen next. The first door on the left, keeping with the view from the stairs. She only went in here to search for her bag and to grab an apple. No bag but it was a great tasting apple.
Now straight into the room across from the Kitchen, the "living" room as one would call it. Most stuff outside of business happens in here. She fully expected her Father in this room considering he wasn't in any other and the store would definitely be closed at this hour, however, he was not. It was nearly an instant upon entering but she found her bag. She didn't pay attention to where it was, which was on the floor next to one of the furniture. The room seemed more dead than alive. She didn't notice the constant visual change in the room when she hurried for her bag and left. Whatever stood straight changed to either crooked or broke. Anything soft was ripped. How she missed the change was pure unluck and practical tunnel vision.
Now with her bag, she decided to head into the last unexplored room. The storage for the store, which she deems the "storeroom". Only to find it was completely wiped clean, except for a few misplaced items. She was astonished at the lack of anything. Her bag seemed to be untouched now that she looked at it. However, it was full of items.
"What the Fuck is going on with this place?" She didn't whisper this and didn't hear the noise that happened downstairs.
"Gah." She instantly left the room and went next to the wall directly next to the stairs getting ready to head down. She readjusted her bag only to hear the door downstairs open. She immediately hugged the wall.
The stairs turn once halfway down the stairs so she didn't see who was coming up them and vice versa. That also gave her enough time to go invisible and since the place was made for Kecleon's she blended in perfectly with the zigzag pattern wall which, again, was specifically made for this purpose, a hiding tactic convenience for her species. The pokemon heading up the stairs surprised Yooka, not enough to break her cloak though. It wasn't just her Father or an intruder it was both or something. Her Father and a Quagsire!
I thought I heard someone up here? Could it be Yooka?" How does this Quagsire know her? Did her Father say something or could the rumor be true and this
was her mother?
"Can't be, she left a long time ago and hasn't returned. It's been hell with her gone though."The Quagsire went back downstairs but her Father stayed and went up them instead.
And I'll say it was worth it. Fuck off... She so wanted to shove him down the stairs if it wasn't for the whole trying to sneak around the house thing. Thank Arceus her bag's material had the same natural ability Kecleon were known for. As long as she or another Kecleon is holding it and changed color, so will the bag. Just as her Father went into the Living Room, Yooka went downstairs.
What she saw through the small window from the door which lead into the store itself, made her confused and astonished yet again. The place was still stocked and rather clean and pristine unlike the storeroom
What the hell is going on!? Wasn't this place looted? Or did he really run this place down to the wire using...? Gah, the hell. She wont be able to hide once she's in the store itself but she needed to find that TM if its still here.
However, the door wouldn't be quiet for Yooka. The noise it made alerted both pokemon and she also felt a heavy resistance around her as she heard both pokemon speak up. The Quagsire said,
"Anything up there?" While her Father said,
"Is that you?" The two instantly knew what was happening when a sudden snap came out of nowhere next to Yooka. They rushed to the snap sound faster than Yooka could move. Something was preventing her movement somewhat. She felt slower than normal. She even felt some sort of presence go past her towards the two but didn't think of it. She had only managed to get a few feet away from the door by the time they both reached the door.
The two pokemon did have pretty serious faces and Yooka was sure they would see her belly pattern in an instant. However, just before they reached her the two pokemon's expressions changed when they were halted unexpectedly. Like as if they were being told something. It started looking more like confused, before it solidly changed to back to friendly.
They spotted Yooka instantly afterwards and went all cute and sentimental.
"Stop hiding and show yourself, your mother is here and would like to see you. She came back after all this--" Yooka uncloaked and snapped.
"shut it. How can 'she' possibly be my mother, and who cares really... I don't even know her." She purposely left out on noticing the storeroom, looted chest, and the missing TM. To see if they had a reason for it without bringing it up. Probably mentioning it could cause it to be an instant problem. Her Mother spoke up,
"Huh--"However she was cut short by Yooka's Father.
"Look you brat, she came back. That's enough for celebration, yes? Just--" Yooka quickly didn't believe the Quagsire was her or that everything that happened couldn't be real. She must have fallen off the vine and fell unconscious or something. Her mother was said to be dead, her father was surprisingly less of an ass than usual, and the place was just too clean... it was just too good to be true. She sent her shadow directly at her Mother and made for a Power-up Punch towards her Father.
What happened next was something she never thought could happen but was glad it did. As soon as both the shadow and Punch connected the whole situation changed. Some form of veil lifted and revealed the true forms of what her mother and father were and also the store's condition. The store went from being completely stocked and whatnot to looking like a tornado went through, twice. Her mother ended up being a Sableye which blocked her shadow with a gllwing shield, most likely Protect. Her Father was a Strange looking Marowak which didn't even mind the punch connecting with his face, literally. It did absolutely nothing to him and he was pushing back with his forhead. He shrugged it off like it was nothing. Yooka didn't even feel the power she was suppose to get from the move upon impact.
"Wha--?" and just as she became naturally confused by the moves ineffectiveness and the condition of the place, she just barely caught herself as the Sableye followed her attack with it's own shadow sneak. Her attention snapped back to the two pokemon infront of her and the Quickly approching shadow. Yooka slid her shadow over her arms like armguards and barely deflected the attack. She used this to get distance but she felt ridiculously slow.
Her mind went blank with anger and she naturally dodged a second incoming attack from the Sableye, or so she thought. The Sableye suddenly became engulfed in a sphere of light for a few seconds. When it broke it's form was changed, It had a massive gem now. It used confuse ray but it passed by Yooka as she was already confused just by reacting to everything. Yooka was just doing what came subconsciously now. Fight or run and ignore everything else... but there was that feeling that she couldn't run, something was holding her in place. Actual fear? The anger? She couldn't quite tell, but the next thing she noticed was something being said that she didn't quite hear.
"Capture her alive, She's the only one who knows what I want."Yooka snapped to and used a blast seed as a distraction and to cause damage. Unfortunatly the mega-sabeleye's gem practically ate the explosion for both of them. The Sableye suddenly moved infront of the marowak with unbelievable speed and held it's Gem like it did protect, like a shield.
"Aye, we need to be careful. She can recy--" "Shut up runt, I know. Be glad about that oversized Rupee from your mega evolution some other time, I can handle the dinky seed." The Sableye winced and accepted the scolding. Only to nod and stared at it's giant gem.
Yooka was successfully on the other side of the store when they stopped their arguing. Ahe even noticed there were some items still around and picked some of them up as she went. She ate an oran berry thinking she probably took a hit from the shadow sneak earlier. Looking back from behind a still intact piece of shelving, she saw the two looking around but again they stopped doing what they were doing and started to listen to nothing as if being told something from an unknown source. The Marowak laughed when they started moving again they looked directly at the place Yooka was hiding.
Seriously!? who's telling them? She Acriivated her spacial trick, Trick Room, reversing everyone's speed in the room. Yooka noticed the difference
instantly as she looked around. She didn't notice anything besides the massive mess that she happens to be in.
The area sudden became slightly brighter and more red tinted. She tried to move due to a hunch which ended up being right. However, she still felt rather slow with her reaction time. The area she just occupied earlier was now refilled by the Alolan Marowak. The bone it was using was smashed into the ground and was now completely all flames. however, it grazed Yooka's tail. Which apparently was enough to give the Marowak the move's effect. Just as she touched the ground to move away, the Marowak was already mid attack again using Flame charge once again, Yooka instinctively fell flat on her back to avoid the attack. The Marowak was just about to go over Yooka when she made for an action.
She reached into her bag for a blast seed but she wasnt able to use the previous blast seed again by using recycle, because as she dodged the first attack a voice was speaking out from the side.
"Come on kid, give up. It'll take more than a few items to beat us. You don't have what it takes to beat us." The taunt wasn't effective towards using items in general but it did stop her from thinking about using her move recycle. Using the other blast seed she had knocked the Alolan Marowak into the ceiling. Effectively knocking it out of the fight but It wasn't knocked out physically as it smirked and started struggling from the grip of the ceiling. Which, cliche-like, usually doesn't take long.
Yooka quickly recovered, but wasn't able to remove any damage with her ability to literally Recover. Taunts don't usually last long at all, but she wasn't able to use Recover but she did manage to naturally recover and was already on her feet and heading towards the front exit. However, a sudden voice went through the room seemingly from everywhere.
"Your not leaving, not as you are, anyway. You will tell me your family's secrets." She heard the door suddenly lock itself and the marowak laughed as it landed on its feet. She blinked multiple times as her mind was completely blank on what the voice ment.
With the entrance no longer a quick exit, Yooka had to find another way out or chance it. Which came rather quickly. Break the windows, but just as she thought that the broken shelving launched themselves infront of the windows making a barrier. That instantly left her with the stairs and the locked wooden door, but again, just as she thought the alternatives the sableye moved infront of the stairs doorway, the giant gem practically blocking the doorway in it's own entirety. She took out two Spikes and dual wield them like tiny daggers. Fully expecting to fight the two pokemon to get to either door. The locked door or the sableye door.
The marowak had also circled her till it was between her and the sableye.
"No way out, but to accept the facts. Your lucky the one that hired us is merciful to you. I don't understand it. We got what we were here for... why even take you aswell? I guess it doesn't matter as long as I get paid for it." He started doing a dance as if getting ready for an event. Yooka instantly realized what they were, now that she had real time to think. Outlaws, worse than Ferals, pokemon gone bad and the Marowak was using Swords Dance.
All the events that happened didnt add up to Yooka. Neither of these pokemon are psychic type or could know moves that could manipulate objects like what she saw.
There must be a third that is or knows psychic stuff, but no psychic type could possibly have that strong of illusions ... illusions, that's it! She looked around and noticed the lock on the door was locked but, she broke that lock awhile ago and reversed it as a prank to her father. Seeing this was just what she needed or maybe her father fixed it and it's probably a side effect of going crazy... She smirked so hard she was practically smiling.
"Illusions can be broken if you know what to look for." Just like the reverse-lock door behind her.
Just as she was saying that she heard a noise in the distance outside. It sounded like the police. Was that an illusion too? Would Yooka be considered an intruder aswell considering how long she's been gone? Yooka started to question the authority. Meanwhile, the Marowak didn't quite know what Yooka ment from the statement.
"Wha--?" The mysterious voice she heard from earlier rang out next to the marowak.
"You fool she knows I'm here, stop stalling and get her! The marowak didn't hesitate and used flame charge to catch up to Yooka while she was confused. The sableye used confuse ray again to attempt mere moments of distraction.
The Sableye succeeded in giving Yooka that confusion. It caused her to hear the said noises from outside. It distracted her thoughts plenty long enough for the marowak to close in. The momentum of the over charged attack smashed her through the door. The impact left Yooka breathless. As she failed to recover, the Marowak gave her a massive smack with his Thick club. The club being swords dance boosted and the attack being Shadow Bone, Yooka instantly Fainted.
When she came to, she was in the back of a makeshift wagon. No binds on her but a Kecleon driver.
"Oh good, your awake." Yooka freaked.
"Oh, hell no." She didn't even think twice before swinging a P-up punch at the Kecleon's back. She didn't care if it was her Father, another illusion, or an actual random Kecleon. She wanted no one near her for awhile. It ended up being another illusion as a normal colored Zoroark's true form was revealed. However, Yooka was already out of the wagon and on the streets of Rainfront Town by the time the Zoroark realized it was hit.
"Pff, your welcome..." Yooka barely heard it and didn't think anything of it as she ran.
