"The Dreaded Gene Pool"
By Darfix
"It is beyond pathetic, Darfix...that you STILL think of yourself as a "Chivalrous Hero"..." Serko's voice taunts. "You have MY blood running through your veins...you are no better than your father!" he adds, laughing with an evil smirk on his maw, as he circles his son.
Darfix stands perfectly still, despite feeling quite insignificant being circled by a Mightyena, and only being an Eevee himself. He closes his eyes, growling at his father, "...I did not run out on my mate like you did! What makes you think I am just like you? I am NOTHING like you!" Darfix retaliates coldly.
Serko proceeds to laugh, "You seem quite confident in yourself at least...let's see what I can do about that..." he says, leaning his head down to press his nose inches away from Darfix's. "Let's start with, Destiny...heh, she's a sexy thing...I gotta hand it to ya, you sure know how to pick 'em!" he says, snickering in a wicked manner.
"Don't you DARE talk about her with your vile tongue, Mightyena!" Darfix growls, pressing his nose to his father's now, to show he isn't scared...even though he is.
"Heh...I wouldn't mind bagging a piece of that...I bet she's something when mating...it's a shame she thinks she's getting a monogamous male out of this deal..." Serko adds, still snickering some, pulling his nose away from his son, as he continues circling him.
Darfix himself laughs now, "I'M not monogamous? YOU want to give ME advice on keeping the same mate for life? This outta be rich..." Darfix smirks, "What does my FATHER have to tell me on keeping the same mate for life?"
"You're a smart ass, just like your dad..." he scoffs, looking at his son as he circles him...Darfix not turning to face him, "That isn't what I meant, I have no intentions of giving you advice on that...however, if you TRULY love her, you'll tell her you're polygamous, and be done with it! TELL her the truth! TELL her, she will be hurt if she gets involved with you!"
"What the hell are you talking about!? I would NEVER leave Destiny! NEVER!" Darfix snarls, now a bit irritated by his father's assumption.
"So you think, son...you see, EVERY male in my side of the family has had more than one mate...you will be no exception...my blood, my genes...you have them, thus, you will hurt Destiny...you will HURT HER like no other! There isn't a damn thing you can do about it...that's what I like it!" he snorts, now having completed a second full circle around Darfix.
"Genes and blood...do NOT determine if you are a monogamist or a polygamist! That has to do with your will power, and your heart...two things you DO not have!" Darfix replies angrily.
"Such a simple mind..." Serko says, shrugging, "Fine, fine...go on thinking that you're right...I have far more experience in the matter than you do...heh, I thought like you once...and as did my father, but...I'll share a secret with you...Kisuna, your mother...she was my fifth mate..." he laughs, "And a fine piece of tail at that..."
"You BASTARD!" Darfix snarls, turning to face Serko now, "You are responsible for her death! You should DIE for your sin!"
Laughing to himself, Serko replies, "Darfix, Darfix, Darfix...always blaming others...have you ever considered yourself to be at fault?"
Darfix yips in a disgusted manner, "What!? How the hell do you figure? I think you're cheese has slid off it's cracker you jackass!"
Serko growls now, glaring at his son, "Consider this! Do you think she would have fought those humans and their Pokémon if it wasn't for you!? If YOU were never born, she wouldn't have had anyone to protect now would she! YOU are responsible for her death! YOU WERE born, when she DID not want you!" he retorts, snarling while doing so.
Darfix clenches his teeth together, slouching a bit...as his ears wilt. In his mind, Serko was right... "...stop that! Youâ�"you're twisting the facts! You...you're the one who killed her!"
"Face it son, YOU were a MISTAKE! I did not want you, and neither did she! She was always telling me, OVER, and OVER, "I don't want kits! I don't want the burden of offspring! I won't make a good mother!" Well guess what, Darfix! You were born, whether we liked it or not!" he says, his voice getting louder, and more heartless with every word.
Darfix begins to whimper, and collapses onto his tummy, placing his forepaws over his eyes, "No! No...she, she loved me! She...she protected me because she loved me!" he cries, shaking his head violently! It was all too much!"
"Keep telling yourself that, Darfix! If that is what allows you to brush off that guilt, continue to do so! SEE IF I CARE! It won't bring her back! She is GONE because of you!" Serko says, beating down on his cowering son verbally.
Darfix continues to cry, shaking his head back and forth, "...no! I...I didn't want her to die! I...I loved her...she meant the world to me..." he says with in a feeble voice.
"But she did! Which brings me back to your mate-to-be...Destiny, that Vulpix! Puh, you both are being dishonest to each other...she seems to be an innocent little 'pix doesn't she?" he asks, smirking a bit as he continues to pound down on Darfix's mentality.
"...she...is innocent...how could you think otherwise?" he asks, looking up a little with a bit of a sniffle, "...it took her several months to allow me to lie next to her! How could you say that she is dishonest?!" Darfix asks, getting a little angry again!
"Puh, are you as blind as she is? That Grimer thought he was going to get what almost every other Pokémon in that forest had gotten, she just felt like being a bitch, and refused it to him...I think it's because she didn't want any of his sludge in her fur, but, that's beyond me..."
Darfix's facial expression twists in a manner that looks so very painful! "Just WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SUGGESTING!?"
"Your girl is a slut, dip shit! She'll spread her hind legs for almost any male! HEH, I wish I had been in that area when she was there! I wouldn't mind a little of that! She had a name for herself, satisfying males of all types! Especially quadrupeds, like your and I...why do you think she became a rogue? Her parents, Taruno and Yurala, disowned her! They were revolted by her behavior! What parent could HONESTLY love a little whore like that? Heh...that is, assuming she didn't do it for free..."
"Stop it!" Darfix interrupts, "I don't CARE what you say about me...but, I...know all of that shit about Destiny is nothing but lies! I know her! She is the biggest sweetheart on this planet! ...and, I'd die defending her honor..."
Serko laughs, "Oh, are we pissing you off now? Heh, that's sad, I haven't even begun to shed some light on your past...your entire life has been a lie, it's about time you realized that."
"...what haven't you told me?" he asks, slouching back down a little bit again...if, what Serko was saying was true...how could he continue to live this life?
Serko laughs a bit, "Your purpose in this world seems a bit, trivial, if not frivolous in retrospect doesn't it?" Serko taunts... "Why don't you just leave Destiny, so I can move in on that territory...? I can show her what it's like to be with a REAL male..."
"Your dirty bastard!" Darfix growls, suddenly, lunging up and aiming for the Mightyena's throat.
Serko only smirks. Strafing Darfix's attack, he manages to throw one of his forepaws into Darfix's chest, sinking his claws in for a good grip. With this grip, he manages to throw his son up against a nearby tree, holding him where he is...cutting off his air supply.
Darfix's futile attempt to struggle does nothing and his weak whimpers for help reach no one's ears from out in the middle of nowhere. He finds himself looking down at the dripping fangs of his father...
Serko only smirks, and lunges at Darfix with great speed, sinking his large fangs into the jugular of the young Eevee.
Darfix's eyes shoot open; he is lying on his back. He raises his head quickly to have a glance at his surroundings. Niktsu, Tiasha, and Destiny are all peacefully sleeping in the cave with him. Whilst he finds himself panting like he had just ran a marathon, sweating like he was stranded in a desert, and trembling as though he was in a pitch black dungeon with no way out! He eventually discovers his forepaws clasping his neck...calming down a little, he moves them back to his sides, and rolls over onto his tummy...a typical sleeping position for quadrupeds.
Emitting a sigh, he rests his head back down onto the comfort of his little forepaws, unable to close his eyes. What, if Serko was right? What...if just ONE thing he said was right? He now truly WAS blind to what was real, and what was false.
Cringing, he pulls his forepaws out from under his chin, and places them over his eyes with a soft whimper, "...damn it..."
