Like I said after level 3 I gave up. Let me tell ya that it is not worth it.
"Ugh, no good." Ash says while sitting on a boulder as he's trying to scan his newly caught Cyndaquil with his Pokedex. "I'm only getting info on the Cyndaquil from my world. Hey, Monica-" He asked as the tired demon looked at him. "Is there a type of Pokedex in Hell for Pokemon born here?"
"Unfortunately no. We don't have anything like that." She tells him as he looked disappointed. "I could look it up though."
"Yes! Please!" Ash begged as she opened her laptop and started typing.
"Still can't believe you actually caught one of those things."
"I'm just as surprised. I didn't think I could catch one of them."
"Well, the information for a Cyndaquil here is not much different from your world. Other than they are more deadly and are known to be living in lava pools, and you should never touch their back." She showed him the information.
"Oh... good to know." The boy says, disappointed.
"Cheer up, my love." Modeus says while clinging to his arm. "Maybe a minute of heavy fornication could help-"
"Modeus, can you stop trying to get me to do that stuff with you?" Ash says annoyed. "I'm not ready for that kind of stuff."
"But why?" She pouted.
"Just hold off on it for now."
"You said that last time and I did."
"Do you only think of sex?"
"No, but it's the best feeling in Hell and the mortal realm."
"Modeus, that's enough." Monica says while pulling her away from him.
The lust demon sat on the ground and pouted like a child. The trainer decided to see what Cerberus was doing and saw that one of them was holding Pikachu, nuzzling against him while the other two looked with smiles. He smiled at the sight before he heard his stomach growl.
"Oh, yeah. It should be lunchtime." Ash says as he gets up. "Alright, who's hungry?" He then says as all three of Cerberus' heads perked up before they rushed over to the boy.
"Me! Me! I'm hungry!" They all started repeatedly saying at the same time.
"Okay, okay. Well, I got just the thing for today." He says before reaching into his bag.
"I highly there's gonna be enough for all of us. We should be close by to-" Pandemonic started to say before she heard clanking and looked back, eyes widened.
"It's just gonna be a minute." Ash says as he starts preparing bread.
In the second she was cut off, he had already set up a wide table with a tablecloth, chairs, and plates. He had ingredients set out, a bamboo mat, and he was already at work, Cerberus, all three, drooling as they watched. Modeus passed by, also drooling but for different reasons.
The tired demon looked dumbfounded by how quick he was to set it all up, looking back and forth between his bag and all the things he had apparently pulled out of it, questioning the logic.
"Come on, Monica. It's not gonna be long before lunch is ready." The boy called over to her.
"I really need to update my information on humans." She sighed while adjusting her glasses before going over to join them.
(About a minute later)
"Alright, all set." Ash says as he sets plates down with sandwiches and onigiris.
One of Cerberus' bodies didn't waste time before digging in. "Mmm, so good!" They all cried with happiness while the boy looked confused as the other two haven't touched their plates yet.
"Yeah, I should've also mentioned that only one of them needs to eat." Monica tells him.
"What?" He says with a deadpan expression as she nodded. "Is there anything else you're forgetting to tell me?" He asked.
"Not really, just that they feel the same, and anything that goes into one stomach, it goes into all three."
"I think you already pointed out that last one."
"Still, they're not wrong. This is pretty good. Makes me more eager to taste your coffee." The demon tells him while eating as he smiled when hearing that.
"Can we have more, Master?" One of the Cerberus says while holding an empty plate.
"Can we?" The other two followed up.
"Uh..." He says before looking at the other two plates he had set out, taking and holding them out for her. "Sure, knock yourself out... knock yourselves out?" He says the last thing under his breath.
"Yay!" The three of them then take the plates. "Thank you, Master."
"No problem." He says before petting one of their heads, making her nuzzle against his palm while all three sigh happily as if he was petting all of them. 'Heh, okay. Adorable.' He stopped before setting down Pikachu's bowl for him to eat. "I learned a lot of cooking tips from many friends I made on my journey."
"Charming and a chef, oh if only..." Modeus says with a huge blush on her face, thighs rubbing together, just drooling as she started daydreaming.
"Can you please, not?" Monica says, annoyed.
Ash just chuckled before he sat another bowl down, then looked nervous as he took out a Pokeball. That same Pokeball had the demonic Cyndaquil in it and he still had yet to let it out.
"Something wrong?" Monica asked before she saw the Pokeball and matched his nervousness. "You're not gonna do what I think you're gonna do, are you?"
"I mean, it's gotta eat too, doesn't it? I can't just keep'em cooped up inside this thing the whole time." He says before looking back at the ball. "Then again, I've never been so nervous to bring out a Pokemon before. Will it attack me if I do?"
"Can't say I know for sure. I know they get pretty protective over their territory, but never saw them get captured before."
"Well..." Ash says before closing his eyes, inhaling and exhaling. "Here goes nothing." With that, he took a step back, reeled his arm back. "Come out, Cyndaquil."
He tossed the ball and out came a flash of light that hit the ground, forming the demonic Pokemon. The Cyndaquil opened its eyes before looking around, Cerberus and Modeus stared at it with curiosity. Ash and Pikachu stared in anticipation, especially when it locked eyes with its new trainer.
"Hey, bud." It adjusted its position to fully face him. "You okay?"
It stared at him for a moment, taking a step forward, much to the fear of its trainer. After a bit of staring, it appeared to lose interest and was getting ready to walk away.
"Wait, hold on. You hungry?" Ash quickly says before walking over and holding out the bowl for it. "It's good." He says while holding a piece of the Pokemon food out.
It stared back and forth at the food and him before taking a step forward. Its tongue flung out and flung back in before chewing the food. It made a sort of hum before walking over and starting to chow down on the food.
"Yeah, there we go." The boy set the bowl down and let it keep eating. "Little guy was just hungry is all."
"So, are you gonna catch anymore or something?" Monica asked.
"Maybe." Ash says while sitting next to her. "I mean, despite how scary they look, they might be good." He tells her before he started eating.
"Well, you've already promised five demons you'd take them to your world. If you can 'tame' more of these things, then you should at least make sure they don't burn down your house or... wherever you keep any of the Pokemon you catch."
"Donf wor-" The boy swallowed before talking. "Don't worry about it. I'll think of something, and I'm gonna keep my promise to you." He finished while patting her back and giving her a smile.
"Y-you better." She looked away while saying that, before forming a small smile.
(Another minute later)
After lunch was done, Ash had packed everything into his bag, everyone continued on their walk to their destination. In the middle of it, he got stopped by another skeleton who had two Pokemon this time. One was a Scyther, but another was a Luxray, which was of course demonized in the underworld.
Ash called out Cyndaquil to deal with the next Pokemon. Thankfully, it seemed to only have two new moves he had already witnessed to command him.
"Cyndaquil, use Lava Bomb." Ash called out.
The small molten Pokemon shot a ball of lava at the lion, which was a direct hit, making it stumble back a bit. The skeleton roared while pointing before Luxray fired a thunderbolt that was quickly dodged.
"Go, Master!" One of the Cerberus cheered.
"Show him what for!" Another cheered as the fight continued.
Monica was scratching the back of her neck, still exhausted. She'd cheer for Ash if she wanted to, but despite having been refueled with lunch earlier, she was tired.
"Isn't it amazing?" Modeus says with her hands on the tired demon's shoulders. "Don't you want to know what else he's good at?"
"Ya know, Ash is not wrong when he says that the least you could do is not focus on sex for at least a minute." Monica tells her in annoyance.
"Oh come on, Monica. You know you want him. ~"
"He's literally a teenager."
"And? He's old enough. Plus, I've seen you getting flustered by him."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." The tired demon looked away in annoyance with a slight blush on her face.
"You're blushing. ~" Modeus teased. "Plus with the harem he's currently building up, you might wanna take your chance before he's met by Lucy. ~"
Monica shoved the lust demon back before turning away while crossing her arms. The younger demon only had a sly grin on her face before the sounds of the battle caught their attention.
"Finish this with Lava Burst!" Ash called out.
The Cyndaquil reeled back and fired a burst of lava at the Luxray, sending it into a wall before it fell to the ground unconscious. The skeleton looked at its two down Pokemon, then huffed before turning, allowing them access.
"Yes! Alright!" The boy says happily before going over and kneeling down to pet Cyndaquil. "Good job, Cyndaq-AH!" He immediately reeled his hand back, getting a burn from its back. "Ow.
"I told you not to touch his back." Monica called at him.
"Right, still good job." The boy says before scratching the Pokemon under the chin as he cooed.
"I will admit though, it is impressive that you managed to get it listening to you so quickly."
"Well, he deserves it." He then called the Pokemon back to his ball.
Monica smiled a bit while looking at him. Modeus came into view with the sly grin on her face, before getting shoved back and laughing.
"Anyway..." The tired demon says while walking over to the boy who was getting praised by the triple demon. "Nightfall is coming. Do you have enough sleeping bags for all of us?"
"Well..." The trainer says before scratching his neck. "Unfortunately, I only have three sleeping bags."
'Surprise, surprise. After all that other stuff he managed to cram in that backpack.' She thought. "And anyway-"
"Oh, we know! We can stay with Malina!" One of the Cerberus pipes in.
"I was just about to say-" The tired demon tried to say.
"She's just down the-" The other started to say before she realized. "Sorry."
Monica stared at her for a moment before sighing. "Well, Cerberus already pointed it out for us. There is someone we know just ahead that... may or may not be alright with us staying over for the night."
"That's good to hear." Ash says before adjusting his hat. "Alright gang, let's get going."
With that said, he began marching forward, Cerberus following behind. Modeus followed along, still daydreaming a bit. Monica was still a little annoyed before couldn't help but smile and shake her head before following along.
Ash pushed a boulder out of the way and perked up as he spotted a small house not too far from them.
"Is that the place?" He asked Monica.
"Yep, that's it." She explains. "Just remember not to provoke her. She get's angry easily."
"I wasn't planning on it."
"That last part was to warn you. The first part was for the other demons here."
"Hey, Zdrada's the one who pisses Malina off the most." Modeus says.
"Well, you have a habit of getting on her nerves as well, albeit not as much." The tired demon explained.
The lust demon pouted while the boy sighed before they continued on. As they arrived, Ash walked up to the door and knocked on it. They waited for a second... a second turned into a minute... then he knocked again.
"GO AWAY!" He heard someone shout from inside.
He looked back at the tired who just waved her hand in a 'go on' gesture. He knocked on the door again and waited. Then he heard stomping coming up to the door before it was suddenly flung open, almost being ripped off the hinges.
"THE FUCK YOU WANT?!" A woman screamed at him.
She again didn't look much different from the others. White hair, red eyes, black horns and tail, and black and red outfit. Only her sleeves were rolled up, her top button was undone, and she looked like more of a mess than Monica.
The boy and his Pikachu stared for a moment, taken aback by her sudden outburst. He was told that she gets pissed off easily, but he wasn't prepared enough for it. Especially since he didn't expect her to be mad off the bat.
"Well?" She says, showing her impatience.
"Uh... okay, to start, yes I'm a human in Hell-" He started.
"Oh, really? Good for you." She then says showing a fake smile before dropping it immediately. "Now go away!"
She then slammed the door in his face before he could say anything else. He looked back to the girls wondering if he did something wrong.
"Wait, are you serious?" The woman then opened the door again, this time with a surprised face.
He looked back at her. "Uh, yeah."
She then opened the door wider and looked him up and down. "Holy shit. No way."
"Yeah, it's a long story."
"A longer one than you think." Monica says while walking up to the door. "Hello, Malina."
"Pandemonica? What are you doing out here?" The demon woman now known as Malina asked.
"Trying to help a human boy here, and we just happened to gather these ones along the way."
Malina then looked out and saw Modeus who waved innocently while Cerberus stood with all their tails wagging. "Great, more brain-dead idiots." She mumbled before looking back at the boy. "So, what brings you here?"
"Well, we were wondering if you wouldn't mind us staying over for the night?" Ash then just straight up asked her.
"Excuse me?"
"Malina, I am sorry that we have to ask you of this, but we need somewhere to stay." Monica says.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no. Not happening." Malina quickly says. "Pandemonica, you're perfectly fine, but I'm letting those knuckleheads stay here-" She says while referring to the other demons who looked offended. "Much less some mortal kid I don't even fucking know."
"Look, I promise it's just for one night. I also promise that this 'mortal kid' is actually perfectly well-behaved, and he and I will make sure the rest of our group behave themselves." Monica continued to explain.
The sour demon looked at the rest before looking back at the tired demon, then sighed. "There's a guest bedroom. Take that, don't fuck it up." She then stepped aside to let him in.
Ash took a look at her before he walked in. "T-thanks. Also sorry for the inconvenience." He says before he kicked something and heard a clank, looks down, and sees a bunch of alcohol bottles on the floor, the smell following it.
"Yeah, don't mind those. Just... whatever, don't bother me." Malina says before she goes to her kitchen.
Without another word, she pulled out another bottle and an opener. Cerberus immediately ran by and started exploring to her heart's content. Monica closed the door after the lust demon went and clung to the boy's arm before going over to the sour demon.
"Alright, so what's the deal with the kid and those idiots?" Malina asked.
"You see, Ash here was brought to Hell by mistake-" Monica started.
"Uh-huh."
"So, I have proposed to take him back home-"
"Mmhmm." The sour demon takes a swing from the bottle.
"By bringing him to Lucifer."
Malina nearly spat out her drink, swallowing it quickly. "What?" She then looked at the boy who was being harassed by the lust demon for you-know-what. "You're taking this kid to see the Queen of Hell?"
"Yes, and it's going well, despite some things." Monica explained while eyeing someone specifically before his ears perked up.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Ash says as he got Modeus off of him. "D-did you just say, Queen of Hell?"
"Yeah." Malina says before realizing. "Oh, he's one of those guys who thinks Lucifer's a guy? That's fucking hilarious."
"O-oh wow. I-I don't know how to feel about that."
"Does it make you wonder if-" Modeus started to say.
"NO!" Ash yelled with a red face. "And can you stop making everything sexual?" He says as she just giggled at him.
"Did you have to bring 'her'?" Malina asked.
"Unfortunately, he promised her he'd take her with him, so yes." Monica whispered.
"Great, good to know." The sour demon says before walking over to them. "All jokes aside, you Lucifer ain't no joke kid. One wrong move and it's game over for you."
"I get it. And I'm gonna be prepared for it." The boy says with a stern look on his face.
She stared at him for a moment, then snorted. "Ah, you got guts, kid. Be lucky my sister isn't here, swear I'd lose my mind faster than you." She says before pointing to the hallway. "Guest room is that way, Pandemonica will show you the way. Just make sure those other idiots don't make a mess." She says before going to the living room and unpausing a game.
Monica dragged him away before he could question things further, the sour demon soon out of sight. Despite her sour mood, Ash began to wonder if maybe Malina just needed someone to talk to.
As he was taken into the 'guest' bedroom, he was a little put off by what he saw. All there was was a single futon where a bed should be and bottles littered among the floor. The latter didn't bother him, but he couldn't help but wonder why seeing the futon felt so familiar.
"Something up?" Monica asked, Pikachu matching her curiosity.
"Yeah, just... is that the only place to sleep?" He asked.
"Well, she usually has only one guest over."
"I get that, but I mean... I could get the sleeping bags out and-"
"Just get on it." She says before shoving him onto the futon.
Pikachu hopped off his shoulder before getting into his lap. As Ash sat up, Monica sat beside him and leaned against him.
"W-what are you doing now?" He asked with a blush.
"Just... getting comfortable." She says before she was out like a light.
The boy was a little caught off guard by her just advancing on him like that but shrugged it off. He off his hat and her glasses, placing them to the side before adjusting himself a bit so that they all could be comfortable, moving his arm and patting her head, making her snuggle her face into his shoulder while groaning. He smiled at that before laying back with a sigh.
That one moment of peace was dismantled by a scurrying to his side. He looked and saw Modeus looking at him from the side of the couch, a lustful look on her face and tail wagging which he did not see as a good sign.
"Modeus?" He asked nervously.
"She has taken a liking to you, you know." She says.
He looked at the tired demon resting on his shoulder before looking back at her. "I mean, I can see that I'm growing onto her."
"No, I know that, but I mean sexually."
"I think you're the only one who thinks that."
"Still, I've never seen her so attached to a man before, much a mortal."
He thought for a moment before looking down. "Well, I did make a promise to her. I just wanna make sure I go through with it."
"Is that right?" Modeus popped up next to him, startling the boy. "A boy who doesn't break his promises."
"Well, there are some promises I try to keep. Plus, I do wanna repay her for helping me this entire time."
"That's so sweet... and so hot." She moaned before she pressed herself against him, getting in his face. "Oh, you're making it so hard not to just..." She paused for a second.
He could feel her breath against his face as his face was burning red. She started inching her face closer and closer to his as he leaned back, nervously trying to avoid whatever she was attempting to do.
Thankfully Cerberus came to his rescue, one forcing herself between the two before cuddling up next to him, the other picked up Pikachu and hugged him before curling up on the boy's lap, and the third got on his other side, laying across Monica who surprisingly hadn't woken up. All three of them fell to sleep almost as fast as the aforementioned tired demon.
Ash was a little caught off guard but was kinda glad that she showed up when she did. Modeus looked annoyed and crossed her arms while pouting. If it was to make the boy feel bad for her, it worked. He decided to hold one of the Cerberus up for a bit and hold his arm out. Seeing her chance, the lust demon went in and cuddled up by his side, allowing him to let his arm around her.
With all five of the demons huddling up against him, pretty much acting as a blanket for him, he started to smile a bit. Despite the shenanigans that he had to deal with them, he enjoyed their company and that they could at least get along. He was starting to think that maybe this little journey through Hell won't be too bad.
To be continued...
