Conquest wants to wake up

It was a long time ago when the incident happened.


I had a lot of Pokémon in my pc, being a fairly ambitious trainer and breeder- I had long beaten the elite four and surprisingly had a few Arceus, I had a science freak of a dad who had figured out how to clone them safely and so I ended up with my four favorites- Death, Famine, War, and Conquest.


I hadn't used Conquest in months so I figured she'd like to stretch her legs and so I took her out of the pc and headed off to find a trainer.


To my surprise upon sending her out she had 2 moves I didn't remember- surf and cut.

Hm moves.


and she had 3 of them- I realized that my beloved Conquest was an Hm slave... had I really been so stupid as a young trainer all those years ago?


I commanded her to use cut- but instead she turned her head to me first with a heartbroken expression in her eyes- I heard her voice telepathically- it was barely a whisper.


"I just want to wake up... This is all a nightmare..."


I felt my heart shatter- how had I done this to my beloved Pokémon?

she turned and used cut, her body moving slowly as though she were in mental distress.
She of course knocked the opponent down and I returned her.


I felt tears running down my eyes as I ran into blackthorn city and into the move deleters house.

I quickly passed him her pokeball and asked him to delete cut and surf- immediately he went to work and she soon forgot the moves.

I went over to the move tutor hoping to reinstate her moves but found I had no heart scales.

I cursed myself mentally and left hearing Conquest's telepathy again.


"I am weak... I am useless..."


I felt my heart tug at her. And I released her from her pokeball before hugging her gently.


"I'm so sorry conquest... please forgive me... I swear I'll find some heart scales... I'll make you happy again... I won't ever teach you more than one HM... I'm sorry.... I'm sorry..."


I looked up at her, my eyes overflowing with tears- I felt horrible for what I did- Pokémon were our friends...

Conquest looked at me gently.


"I forgive you... let us go find heart scales... and then let us battle others like old times... and forget this day..."
