The Fantastic Meowstic

Augen was a male Meowstic and a newcomer to Numen, hailing from the Kalos region. Ever since he was a youthful Espurr, the feline Psychic-Type had always wanted to travel to new places and meet all different types of Pokemon. Augen enjoyed meeting new people because it was always the perfect opportunity for him to show them what he can do. The Meowstic possessed many skills and had various, albeit unusual interests that he simply loved to share with everybody else. He wore a plain red shirt and his eyes had mismatched colouring – one being pink and the other being green.

As he walked down a dirt path and exited a forest, his eyes caught sight of a huge building in the distance. Stricken with a huge sense of curiosity, Augen left the path and ran across the grass towards it. When he got closer, he made out the building to be a prosperous mansion surrounded by a large, spike-tipped fence. The Meowstic approached the gate and looked through the bars at the garden, which will filled with beautiful flower beds, two large statues of Bisharp and he could also see a water fountain in the corner of his eye.

“I wonder who lives in here,” Augen wondered out loud with a tiny hint of a German accent. A small curled up on his furry complexion. “I bet the Pokemon who lives in here will be a lot of fun!”

Augen agilely climbed up the gate, flipping over it once he reached the top, using one of the spikes for support. He landed on his feet and walked up the path towards the mansion at a hurried pace. He was just about to knock on the front door when he noticed one of the bottom windows was open. Placing on a mischievous grin, Augen hopped over to the window and leaped into the mansion, landing on a carpet in the living room.

“Who the hell are you?” an angry male voice bellowed the second the cat improperly entered.

Unaffected by the strictness in the voice, Augen causally glanced over at who had addressed him. He saw a Pikachu sitting on an armchair, sporting stereotypical rich attire consisting of a monocle, top hat and a tuxedo. It was Darkening Lotsamoni, the owner of the mansion. The rich rodent jumped off his chair and walked up to Augen, puffing out smoke from his long cigarette-holder in frustration.

“Hello sir,” Augen said, bowing courteously with a smile. “My name is Augen. Who might you be?”

“Don’t play innocent with me, you impudent feline!” Darkening snarled, blowing out smoke in the Psychic-Type’s general direction. “This is private property and if you don’t leave at once, I will inform the authorities!”

“I apologize, sir,” Augen said, frowning and giving the irate Pikachu another bow. “I just get so excited when I have the chance to meet a new person. I mean no harm, honest, sir! Out of all the Pokemon I’ve met in this region so far, you seem the most interesting!”

“Compliments like that will not excuse you of your crime!” Darkening snapped, resisting the urge to snatch Augen by his neck fur. He was only discouraged due to their size difference. “It’s time to teach impolite scum like you a lesson!”

The Pikachu took off his monocle, shoving it into his pocket. He started directly into Augen’s eyes and the Meowstic looked right back, confused on why this angry Electric-Type was giving him the silent treatment. In Darkening’s eyes, blue and orange spirals formed, replacing his pupils and filling up his eyes. Augen’s jaw dropped in awe as he kneeled down to Darkening’s level to get a much better look at the alluring spectacle.

Darkening grinned, “That’s right, kitty; look deep, deep into my eyes,” he insisted, the spirals beginning to pick up in speed. “You must obey me.”

Augen continued to look at the swirling sight, growing more engrossed by them by the second. He closed his partly open mouth and produced a smile. The cunning grin from Darkening’s face vanished when he noticed that his spirals were not appearing in the eyes of the Meowstic. Undeterred by this fact, Darkening intensified his power to its max limit. They swirled faster and faster with even started to emit a soft glow.

“You can do this too, sir?” Augen inquired, followed up by a mischievous chuckle. “So can I!”

Before the Pikachu hypnotist could question Augen’s claim, white and blue spirals erupted in the eyes of the Meowstic, glowing at a brighter intensity and swirling at a quicker pace. With his playful grin curling up more, Augen grabbed Darkening and pulled him in closer. The wealthy yellow rat gasped in horror as Augen’s apparent superior hypnotic ability quickly conquered his own.  

“S-S-Sto...” Darkening weakly groaned, unable to finish even a single word, his mind being overcome by Augen’s growing authority.

The blue and orange spirals in his eyes ceased to be, becoming overrun with Augen’s blue and white ones. Darkening’s deteriorating mental state was being crushed under the mesmerizing pressure of the grinning Psychic kitty. This was the first time Darkening had received a taste of his own medicine in addition it to being more powerful. He lost the ability to think clearly while his mind succumbed more, unable to prevent this ironic turn of events.

“You will listen to me from now on, sir,” Augen spoke, his commanding voice echoing through Darkening’s mind. “We will have so much fun together! You will love it as much as I will!”

Augen’s words boomed with an undeniable influence in the hypnotized Pikachu’s head. A smile curled up on Darkening’s face, albeit a goofy one. His mood was on its way to match that of his masters, though with added mental corruption. The Meowstic took a hold of Darkening’s long cigarette-holder before it dropped onto the carpet.

“You are now in my power,” Augen said with a grin, his eyes reverting back to the original appearance.

“I am now in your power, Master!” Darkening spoke in a cheery tone of voice.

“Do you have some sort of pump, sir?” Augen inquired, taking off the Pikachu’s hat and monocle as he strolled over to an armchair. He put on the top hat and monocle before elaborating further. “You know the sort that is used to inflate those big balloons?”

“I got just the thing, Master!” Darkening chirped, wagging his tail in glee.

Darkening dashed out of the room soon after. Augen looked at the long cigarette-holder he was still holding in disgust before putting it out in the nearby ashtray. “A rich guy like him probably has a lot of other cool stuff!” he speculated, relaxing in the comfortable chair, feet on the rests. “Oh, I should dress him up like a maid too!”

The hypnotized Darkening returned to his master within the following five minutes holding an air pump. He presented it to Augen with the same dopey smile plastered across his face. Augen grinned widely at the sight of the object, a mischievous glint sparkling in his eyes.

“Good work, my slave!” the Psychic-Type complimented, hopping down from his seat. “Before we continue, can you put on a maid outfit? You are bound to have a few spare!”

“I hear and obey, Master!” Darkening devotedly exclaimed, rising his paw in salute.

Augen chuckled at the gesture. “There is no need to salute me, slave. Just go and put on the maid uniform and come back here as quickly as possible,” he ordered, adjusting his slanted monocle.

Darkening carefully placed the pump on the floor before walking out of the room at a hurried pace. While he was gone, Augen took the time to examine the pump, eyeing it with fascination while a devious smirk. In no time at all, the rich rodent re-entered the room now sporting a French maid uniform.

“How do I look, Master?” Darkening inquired, giving a single twirl and a girlish giggle.
