Percy had been jogging for about 10 minutes before he could see the camp over the grass. Dropping to the ground Percy slowly crawled toward the camp.
He watched the camp from the tall grass. About 20 tents were set up in a circle in a short grass clearing. It was about 6:30 and it seemed that the camp was preparing dinner.
People milled about doing their individual jobs and getting ready for dinner. Percy strained his ears to hear what they were saying. "When the hell is that bitch gonna be back." A man gruffly said. "The later the better. Always ordering us around like slaves. If it weren't for her parents I would've killed her already." A few men nearby chuckled.
All of the people were dressed in black suits with a red R on the front of it. There were a few women in the camp that kept to themselves and chatted idly. Percy scanned the camp for Ekans to see if they had caught any yet.
He noticed a wooden box containing about 30 pokeballs. There was a larger box next to it with 5 Pokémon eggs inside. Percy decided to do a head count on all of the people in the camp before he made a move. He only counted 19 people. Percy watched from the grass grasping the peoples habits and ranks.
He was able to identify the people with Koffing and Zubat. The person with a Zubat was his first target as if he ever let out the Zubat it would detect Percy because of its echolocation. Eventually the missing person came back and there was a total of 20 people. Soon after they started dinner and ate and drank.
They were laughing loudly when the Zubat man announced he needed to go to the bathroom. Percy followed the man who was walking away from the camp leisurely. The man was a decent distance away from the camp before Percy jumped out of the grass latching his arms around his neck.
Percy pulled the man to the ground before slitting his neck with his hatchet. He tried struggling in Percys tight grip but was unsuccessful. Percys hand was firmly clasped over his mouth and his struggling slowly dissipated.
Percy fell back panting and threw the mans body to the side. His eyes closed tightly and his hands were shaking aggressively. He was extremely nauseous and felt like he was going to throw up. Hands covered in blood Percy steadied his breathing and calmed down. 'I thought killing someone would've been easier than this.' He thought. After calming himself Percy went back to the camp to finish the job. He thought up a plan to separate people.
Letting out all of his Pokémon Percy whispered the plan to them. It was already pretty dark outside so visibility was low. "Pharaoh you're going to run out of the grass so they can all see you. After that you'll run back into the grass and lead them away. Once we are far enough from the camp all of us will ambush them.
Kill them fast and quickly, target the neck. Pharaoh you use Metal Claw, Crash use Crunch and Fúria use Karate Chop. Prioritize Pokémon over people as it's easier for me to handle people." He was hoping that only the people with Pokémon would chase after Pharaoh.
The people were still eating dinner and had no idea that their friend had gone missing. It was now completely dark and the only light was coming from their large bonfire. Percy did another head count and made sure there were 19 people.
He signaled to Pharaoh and started crawling toward the meeting spot. Pharaoh burst out of the grass and barked. All of their heads turned to see a shiny Growlithe in the dark. Almost all of them started running toward Pharaoh. As Percy predicted 7 of them stayed back as they didn't even have Pokémon to catch it with.
Pharaoh led them to a spot out of earshot from the camp. Then Pharaoh disappeared from their sight. They looked around confused and some of them let their Pokémon out of their balls. They searched the area for a few minutes before they noticed that some of them had gone missing.
12 of them followed Pharaoh but now there were only 10. "Where the hell is that shiny Growlithe." A man shouted. Percy jumped out of the grass and slit the mans throat then fell back into the grass. A second later Fúria Karate Chopped a girl in the neck and her body crumpled to the ground.
Pharaoh slashed another guys throat open and Crash Crunched someone's neck. About 3 minutes later there was only one man left as they had killed everyone else. "W-where is everybody." He stuttered. It was pitch black and the only thing he could perceive was the sound of dropping bodies.
Almost all of the Pokémon ran away from their trainers after finding out they died. Some Pokémon tried to get revenge but were quickly dealt with by Pharaoh or Crash. Fúria took care of the last guy and Percys Pokémon gathered in front of him. "Alright the hardest part is over. Now all we gotta do is slaughter the people still in the camp and we can rest." They went back to the camp where there were still 7 people.
7 average people stood absolutely no chance against them and were quickly slaughtered. Percy quickly checked the Ekans haul he had gotten from them and got:
1 Dark Orange Ekans
1 Orange Ekans
1 Yellow Ekans
2 Dark Green Ekans
2 Light Green Ekans
21 White Ekans
1 Dark Orange Ekans Egg
1 Dark Green Ekans Egg
3 White Ekans Egg
Percy thought that this was definitely worth the effort he had put in. He stored all of the pokeballs and carried the eggs in his arms. Percy walked back to the location he had left Nova at and was surprised to see her still there. 'I thought a resourceful girl like her would've gotten away.' He thought.
It was still only 9 but Percys eyes had long adjusted to the dark. He set the eggs on the ground and cut off the ropes. "W-what. You came back." She rubbed her eyes and looked in Percys direction. She couldn't see him but felt his presence.
Percy got her Ekans pokeball back and handed it back to her. "Don't bother me again." Percy turned around left back toward the city. Nova stared at Percys back before clenching her fist in anger. She put her hands into her hair and felt the damage. 'I'll kill that piece of shit if it's last thing I do.'
Percy ignored the intense feeling of hatred he felt behind him. 'Who the hell cares about their hair that much.' He thought to himself. Percy had always planned on letting her go as he wasn't going to kill someone he promised to let go. It was completely dark outside and Percy had to rely on his Pokédex to get back to the city.
When he got back to the city he immediately went to the Honey Gym to sell the Ekans. Fortunately the gym, Pokemart, and the Pokémon Center is open 24/7. He forgot that he had to heal the Pokémon first and healed them at the Pokémon Center for a fee of 300 pokedollars. Then he sold the Ekans and the eggs. He kept the Dark Orange egg and made 348,250 pokedollars.
After selling the Pokémon and Pokémon eggs he went to the Pokemart to buy something he needed. There was almost nobody inside the Pokemart as it was nighttime. He bought an egg incubator for 1000 pokedollars and Top Ekans Egg formula for 50,000 pokedollars. Egg formula was a supplementary formula that would surround an egg to promote growth and raise potential.
As with food there are also ranks to egg formula. However there is only normal, excellent and top egg formula. Percy bet that if he's lucky, he could raise the Ekans potential to Red by the time it hatches. He gently placed the egg into the incubator and surrounded it in the egg formula. Then he made a made a makeshift backpack for it and put it on his back.
After making sure the egg was safe on his back he started leaving the city. Although he wanted to sleep in a comfy hotel bed, Percy wanted to temper his body in the wilderness. About half an hour later Percy was sitting around a campfire with all three of his Pokémon. He held the egg incubator in his arms and stared solemnly in the fire.
He was confused on his current outlook on life. Percy thought his adaptation to killer was too sudden and quick. Somewhere deep inside of him he actually enjoyed it. Pharaoh put his head on the egg and licked it curiously. Percy pet Pharaohs head and smiled. 'Whatever I'll think about it later. I'm tired.' He fed his Pokémon their special food and went inside his tent with his egg and Pokémon. "Do you guys think we should keep a watch cycle." Percy asked.
Crash curled into a ball and snored extra loud in an attempt to ignore Percy. Pharaoh stood up and barked a few proud words. "You'll keep watch? Thanks man. Glad to see somebody stepping up." Percy shot Crash a glance and shook his head in disappointment. Pharaoh talked to Fúria about watching times and left the tent to sit at the front of it. Percy fell asleep with the egg in his arms and his emotions in turmoil.
