Whisper of the Castle (Patreon)

Long again, there stood a village in the mountains of a far away place in the Pokemon world. A village that once bloomed with people living their lives in this secluded quiet area. There was neither trouble or chaos for the centuries it remained populated with the villagers. The people lived in peace, never having troubles like Team organizations or enraged Pokemon on a rampage, the people lived their lives there as did many of their children as generations past on.

All of that changed about six months ago. It all centred around the abandoned castle that stood just outside of the village ever since the early days of the town's formation. It had for the longest time been in disrepair and need of renovation but as the town was never much of a tourist attraction due to its location, the project to the castle never did get the go ahead but the castle's condition or abandoned state were not the reason for the troubles. Rather then becoming a worry for it being left deserted, but rather who was currently inhabiting it.  

One day the villagers noticed something quite unusual about the castle. There was what looked like lighting glowing from the castle windows, as if someone was inhabiting the castle. At first the villagers had thought maybe a rug or something within had caught fire inside but as the days went by, it had been clear that not only was there fresh new lights every night but some body was moving about inside, along with a fear of being watching by whoever was housed inside struck every villager like a ice running down their backs. After some fearful restless nights, a band of villagers decided to venture into the castle to investigate the strange goings on. Rather then being met by their mysterious stalker however, the villagers discovered a large freshly prepared banquet laid out on a long table like a meal fit for a king. While very inviting, the lack of anyone else in the room startle the villagers, finding the scene to feel quite eerie. What really broke the camel's back however were the strange and creepy whispers that sounded like they were coming from the walls, causing the investigating group to run out of the castle like a bunch of scaredy cats. The next day, the same whispers would be heard in the villager as well, scaring every resident right to the bone like they were all living in ghosts. It only took a few days for the first families to pack up and leave and as the days went on, more and more residents joined them. 

A couple of months had past by since the incident and the village was now abandoned. The old buildings that stood restored for hundreds of years were starting to decay and nature was slowly regaining the land as grass and weeds poked out of the cracked stone pavement. Even the inside of the only modern building, the Pokemon Centre, was covered in dust and Spinarak cobwebs hanging in the corners of the ceiling. While the power had not been shut off, it had remained in darkness ever since Nurse Joy and Chansey decided the scares were not worth the sense of duty to what few Pokemon Trainers remained behind. That was however till now, when the lights flickered on as a group entered the Centre to escape a storm.

      “Woah, this place is really dirty.” Clair, the Dragon Type Gym Leader from Blackthorn City in the Johto region walked in first. She had happened to be on a journey requested for a Pokemon Researcher named Bill to search for a mystical Dragon Pokemon. “Still, I guess its better then camping out in a cave again.”

“Aww I'm sure it'll be fine!” Cynthia the Sinnoh Pokemon League Champion walked towards her. Needing a different kind of break from Pokemon battling then her usual resort in the Unova region, Cynthia got in contact with her friend Clair who told her of her journey, so the Champion thought it might be fun to tag along. “They usually keep fresh bed covers and such in storage in case of a mass emergency so just a dust clean of the beds and we can sleep tonight.”

“Well, if its all it is, then it'll just have to do!” Varidi the Goddess of Nature came in next. Due to a mishave in the Twilight Realm she had teleported to check out, the small blonde goddess acidently ended up teleporting into the Pokemon World, running into the two Pokemon trainers in the process. 

“Hey, don't forget you're going to send me back to the Twilight Realm!” moaned the Imp Midna as she floated towards the young goddess to moan at her. The Twilight Princess had accidentally run into Viridi in pre-teleportation process which not only messed up her teleporting but had somehow reverted the Princess of Twilight into her Imp form.  

“Hey, you bumped into me!” Viridi replied. “Because of you my teleporting got screwed up and had caused my powers to drain for a recharge! I told you once we find a bed of flowers that I can lay in I can go into recharge mode, THEN I can teleport you back as well as myself. The Imp thing is your problem, I dunno what caused it!”

“You just worry about getting me home, I'll deal with this...form.” the Imp floated around the room to get a good look at the place. “Hmm, I've slept in worse places, it'll do.”

“I'm still amazed that my Pokedex has nothing on you!” Cynthia pondered about the flying creature. 

“FOR THE LAST TIME I'M NOT A...oh can we just get some sleep already.” Midna moaned. “The sooner I can get back to my realm the better!”

As the group headed to the supply cupboard, they fetched some fresh bedding that was still sealed within it's wrapping and then proceeded upstairs to the bedrooms. Just like the reception downstairs, the room was very dusty but nothing a quicky spring clean the group could do to make it sleep-able. In no time, the female friends were finished and ready for bed. 

“If only I had my goddess powers.” Viridi sighed, undressed into her red nightie that almost looked like lingerie. “I'm not used to sleeping without my nightly scent of roses filling the room!”

“D'aww, you look adorable in that nightie!” Cynthia who was dressed in a black lingerie bra and panties picked up the child like goddess to hug her from behind. “You can sleep with me if the storm's too scary!”

“Erm, no thanks.” the goddess got out of Cynthia's hold. “I have a Brain Age of 24 ya know!”

“Ah, but you're never too old to get a visit from the TICKLE MONSTER!” Cynthia swiftly grabbed the young goddess again and started tickling her sides and underarms. 

“HEY.....AHHAHAHAHAHAHA!” Viridi laughed, unable to hold it. “S-S-STOP, HAHAHA, I'M T-TICKLISH!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

“Man, what a bunch of children.” Clair looked on in disbelief, wearing a dark blue bra and matching thong to the same colour tone as a Dragonaire. She then looked at Midna who sat in the bed next to hers. “Hey, are you going to be alright with nothing on?”

“I could say the same thing about you Pokemon Trainers.” Midna remarked their lack of coverage. “I'll be fine in this form, it's not like it's the first time I've been like this?”

“Oh? So your true form....” Clair asked. 

“Let's just say I outshine your beauties combined in my true form.” the Imp grinned, knowing that changing back was possibly only a day away. 

“No need to brag about it.” Clair looked at the window, seeing the dark empty street in view. “Still.....why did everyone vanish from the place?”

“Who cares, I kinda like it this way!” grinned the Imp once more. “The creepy-er the better I say!” 

“Goddesses, Imps, creepy abandoned towns, this day can't possibly get even weirder....” The Dragon Gym Leader got into her bed to get to sleep. Soon enough, once Cynthia had ceased her childish playing with the child goddess the others started to settle into their own beds as Midna hovered over to the light switch to switch it off. Viridi completely shattered from her tickle fest almost immediately fell asleep which the others followed naturally. As the girls slept after a visit from Mr Sandman, the rain that forced them to find shelter in the first place came to a sudden unnatural halt, as if somebody had also flicked the rain switch off. Not that any of the four had noticed as they were sound asleep, dreaming of finding that awesome mystical Dragon, returning to their own dimension, regaining their previous more attractive form and even a visit to the Land of Ice Cream.     

As the room became silent with only the breathing of sleeping maidens being the singular gentle sound, the silence was soon disturbed by a familiar loud whisper. For a short while none of the girls were awaken by the sound, only a slight hint on each of their faces like they were all having a bad dream. The whisper continued on, getting louder and sounding like a satanic chant, all four girls then suddenly opened their eyes at the exact same moment as one another, only their eyes now looked empty stuck in a deep trance. 

“He's calling.” all four spoke in unison and they all got out of bed and started walking out of the room, marching to where their piped piper was waiting for them.

The foursome walked out of the Pokemon Centre (Or in Midna's case, floating with the trio of human girls) in a single line with their arms stretched out in front of them in a stereotypical hypnosis walk and without a change of clothes, walking towards the castle in just their nightwear, an act most of them could die of humiliation if they had snapped out of their mind control at that moment...if the town was actually populated. As well as being empty, the vacant town that just a short while ago was soaking wet was now dry to the bone, almost as if whoever was plotting all this made it so the  girls' feet would not be wet or too dirty. As the girls started to walk out of the town, they were walking towards the dark castle without a single hint of fear in their faces with only the wind blowing their hair around being the only thing animated on their faces as their completely vulnerable bodies entered the abandoned castle. 

Inside the castle, the four walked through the hallways walking on a red carpet that looked like it have been cleaned yesterday as they continued onto finding the source of the whisper though the halls lit by the burning torches hung on the dusty walls, with only the odd Spinarak sat on its webbing watching from the ceiling in darkness with only their dot eyes glowing from the fire light.        

Eventually the marching line of girls found themselves in a stone walled room where in the centre floated a strange round Black Gem about the size of a Pokeball emitted a glowing red energy around it. The four girls still entranced took no surprise at the object, instead lining up next to each other like an army awaiting an inspection from a commanding officer.  Ready and waiting for whatever fate that brought them here, the Gem started to glow even brighter, enough to make the room glow a bright red as if it was bleeding and all the girls' eyes glowed like rubies in the middle. Their mouth opened slightly as if to almost drool as a tingly feeling filled their heads and numbed their minds almost like a head massage but without any hands. Standing completely still the whole time as the glow happened, their opened mouths soon evolved into happy smiles as now all worries in their minds had faded...along with any other memories in-fact as the glow had turned their minds into empty open canvas for anyone to rewrite and reshape the girls' minds to however he or she desired, and the four would have the up-most obedience while they change forever.

Once the glow had ceased, it revealed a new person in the room on the opposite side of where the girls were standing. He looked like some kind of demon knight clocked entirely in armour, complete with a helmet with horns and spikes that also were on his shoulders and metal gloves. 

“At last.” the Knight spoke. “My premonition I had from the Gen has come true! How I have wait for your arrival for so long, it has gotten pretty lonely since those townsfolk made a run for it. But meh, it was worth scaring those fools to see your four!”

The unnamed knight walked over to the girls to give an inspection just like an amry officer. He started with the Dragon type Gym Leader, looking at her from top to bottom with his concealed eyes.   

“Marvellous, simply marvellous!” the knight smiled within his helmet, he was almost tempted to hug the mindless woman but held back due to his amour. Instead, he stroked the side of her body with his hand. “So mature, so rare to see your near naked beauty that you allow no man to see, yet here you are presenting yourself to me, to mold however I see fit, to use however I want. To get you alone would be totally worth all this but the others are certainly a bonus.

The knight then turned his attention to the Sinnoh Champion.

“Now this is sexy!” the Knight grinned. “Such an attractive but talented champion of Pokemon to have present herself before me! If I'm not mistaken, you used to be so fond of ice cream. You and me will certainly be eating lot of ice cream in such interesting ways!”

For the next girl, the knight then walked over to the Goddess of Nature. 

“How lucky am I to nab myself a legendary goddess!” the knight petted the girl on the head like a pet. “So very innocent looking but what you lack in physical age you most certainly make up for in actual years and knowledge as a goddess as well as your powers and abilities which will now serve me!” 

Finally the Knight walked over to the sole remaining girl, the Twilight Princess. 

“An Imp, how very interesting!” the knight put a finger underneath the floating Imp's chin. “But hidden within you is the Princess of Twilight and another form for me to admire. You may have had quite the mouth once upon a time, but not any more!”

The knight then stood back to look at all four at once again. Happy with what he had acquired, the Knight began his work of reprogramming the four.

“You four glorious women now belong to me.” he began. “You serve all my commands and address me as lord. There is nothing you will question that I tell you to do, you cannot imagine life before me. You don't even question it, your purpose in life is to obey me. Obeying feels good, serving me is the greatest pleasure in the world, almost to the point of worship. Nobody else matters, only I matter to you. Do you understand?”

“Yes my lord!” the four answered in unison, nearly sounding robotic. 

“That will do for now.” the knight finished. “I will finish the rest of your rewrites later for when I want you to act more human for me. For now, follow me. It is time to prepare you for something else!”

“Yes my lord!” the four girls followed the knight out of the room, unware of what was waiting for them next. As they all left the room, the gem stopped glowing, returning the room to utter darkness. 

And just as before, the castle and the nearby town return to its eerie silence....
