Chapter 3 : A Great Night Stroll

Standing at the front counter of the Winery, an old wooden building with barrels of wines stacking up in the storage to age, Bastion was almost in a good mood as he takes a sip of Bulk Red Grepa Wine directly from the bottle he bought from the winery.  The aroma of the Grepa berry swarms his nose as he tastes the sweet and bitter liquor.

After the sip, he glances at the two cloaked figures in the back corner of the store, one with a red cloak and other with black, both of them a slightly shorter than Bastion and hiding their faces under their hood.  Those two, the reason why Bastion is not in a good mood, have been following him after he split up with Bell and Lucy, that he is sure of.  However, he couldn't think a reason why they decide to do it.

After thinking about it for a few minutes Bastion walks out the winery thinking it is too annoying to think about.  And just like he thought those two follow him into the barren street under the moonlight of the full moon.  

Continuing walking while taking a few sips of wine Bastion continue his walk until he reaches an empty field with few bushes, no houses nor any sight of people nearby that can interrupt him.

"You should come out now if you want to stalk someone does a better job at it."  Bastion suddenly called out.

"So you saw through us huh."  The two hooded figure walks out to the open and the Black Cloak said with a robotic voice.

"When?" The Red Cloak asked in the same voice, it seems that they are using a voice changer of some kind.

"After I turn around the first time before I entered the winery.  So what do you want with me?"    Bastion replied nonchalantly.

"We want you to join us and our cause."  The Black Cloak answered.

"I refuse."

"Who do you think you are?  You have no choice but to join!"  The Red Cloak suddenly burst out.

"I don't have to join anything, now get out of here and stop stalking me, it's too creepy."  Bastion immediately returns the hostility.

"You-"

"You have met our lord before, right?"  The Black Cloak asked before the Red Cloak can further the hostility.

"You lord?"

"Lord Yveltal, the one who grants destructions, the one who will cleanse the world of its sins.  The one who will return this world to its former beauty."  The Red Cloak said while spread his arms widely to the side.

As soon as that name enter Bastion's ears, the air around the Bastion chilled extremely.  Even the two who stands meters away from Bastion can feel the breeze from him.

"Yveltal you said, I was about to let you go since it is too much trouble for me.  But now, why don't we have a little talk?"  Bastion said with a broad evil smile, his eyes is the ones of a hungry predator that look upon its prey.

"W-What's up with him?"  The Red Cloak asked as they both take a step back from the sudden change in Bastion.

"Growthlithe, let's end this quick."  Bastion whispered as he sent out Growlithe.

When Growlithe saw the state of Bastion, its losses it usually laziness and gets serious.

"Come, Houndoom."Come, Zweilous."

The Red Cloak sent out Houndoom and the other sent out Zweilous.

"I guess it is inevitable."  The Black Cloak muttered.

"This is good, I wanted to beat him up."

"Agility."  

Ignoring the two, Bastion gives the order.  Growlithe's body relaxed under the chill night.

"How annoying, Bite." "You too Zweilous, Bite."

The two charge forward, Houndoom to Growlithe's left and Zweilous to its right.  And all of them bite down into Growlithe.

"Tank it."

Obeying Bastion's order, Growlithe completely ignore the two as it continues to relax.   The three heads bite into it, although not enough to move it from its spot it manages to force its body to tense up.

"Ha, what are you, an idiot?"  The Red Cloak taunted.

The only thing answering the taunt is the giant grin on Bastion's face.  In the next few moments, both Houndoom and Zweilous was shaken off Growlithe by its massive strength and retreated few meters back.

"What?!"

"...! This is not good, we need to finish this fast!"  The Black Cloak burst out as the Red one look at it in confusion.

"Reversal."   

Not a second after hearing the order, Growlithe charges forth at a ridiculous speed.  Before the two can even react, Growlithe have reached them and standing on its hind leg, bending its back.  Using its head as a hammer, it swans its head into the Houndoom's back.  With this hit, Houndoom's back bent in an unnatural way as it sunk into the ground from the force of the hit, knocking it out.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Dragon Breath!"  The Black Cloak yelled and the two heads of Zweilous breath out purple gust from their mouth into Growlithe which was dodged.  But it did manage to force it back a few steps.

"H-How?"  The words leak out from the dumbfounded Red Cloak.

"His Growlithe have Justified.  Meaning when it is hit with a Dark-type move it powers up."

"So he takes the damage in exchange for power?!"  

"Yes, and not only that, agility it uses to boost its speed.  Along with Reversal, a fighting type move which becomes more powerful as it takes more damage..."

"What is with is?  Are they monsters!?"  The Red Cloak exclaimed.  Thinking about both the trainer who are willing to order this and the Pokemon who listen to this kind of command.

"Who kno-"  The Black Cloak is interrupted by the Zweilous that got sent flying across the field because of Growlithe.  It finally comes to a stop after skipping across the ground for a few feets, knocking it out.  It seems that while they are talking, Zweilous were getting pummeled by Growlithe.  

Returning both of their Pokemon into their Pokeball, the duo turns and make a run for it only to stop by a torrent of fire.

"Give up, you have no chance to escape."  Bastion said as he began marching towards them.

"What do you want from us?" 

"Just a few questions."

"Only a few questions?"

"Yes, now first, what is your group and how are they related to Yveltal?"

"Like we would tell-" The Red Cloak yelled and was interrupted by a stream of fire landed near him.

"You have two choices either answer or suffer then answer."

"Why kind of choices is that?!"  The Red Cloak screamed.  

"Very well, I will comply."

"But-"

"We still have much to do, even if we don't tell him, he will manage to get it somehow."

"..."

"We are the Cultists from the Cult of Yveltal.  We believe in that the world as it is now is rotten,  infested with peoples who are selfish, willing to hurt or even kill others just to satisfy themselves.  And Yveltal, the destroyer, will one day come and put an end to everything there is to this world and give it a new beginning.  The world that is once again freed from pests, the world without sins."  The Black Cloak said honestly.

"What is your plan?"

"That I don't know, we are only cultists within the cult.  It will be impossible for them to tell us the plan, they only tell us what to do."

"I see, how about your base?"

"Not the faintest idea, we were told what to do from letters."

"I that so, I guess puppet won't have much information after all.  You can leave now."  Bastion muttered to himself before waving his hand, dismiss them.

"That's it?"  Black Cloak asked in wonder, he thinks that at least he would want them to show their faces at least. 

The truth is Bastion don't care about it.  There is no reason to learn someone's face or name if you have no interest nor care in it.  He will just forget it a day later anyways.

"You hear me, just don't stalk me anymore.  Oh, and go tell you higher up.  If they get in my way, they will be disposed of."

"... Alright, let's go."  The Black Cloak said as he turns and runs away with the Red Cloak by his side.

"You remember this, I will have my revenge." The Red Cloak yelled when he reached the edge of the field.

"Well then, that was a waste of time, come back and rest Growlithe.  You have done well."  Bastion said as he returns Bastion into the Pokeball after give him a pet to the head, rub some potions, and some wine.

"Now then, time to go."  Bastion said as he looks at the moon which now hang quite high in the sky and begin walking under the starry night occasionally taking a sip of wine and humming.  Obviously in a good mood.

"Then let us go around sightseeing since we still have a little time before sunsets."
