Chapter 51: Auction and a Violent Aftermath

While people waited, they chatted amongst themselves in a respectable manner. Nobody knows who's who and the last thing anyone wanted to do was to offend a bigshot and perish by the following day. As Deoxys specatated, the pokemon could occasionally pick out words like Fairy, Rumor, or something of the sort.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed and the crowd instantly became quiet.

WHOOSH

A cloud of smoke erupted on the stage and the spotlights zoned in that direction. When the fog dissipated, a man wearing a black suit appeared.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to our yearly Caleum Impius!" He announced and the audience calmly applauded his entrance.

"Today, we have some amazing items that will shock everyone in this room!" He boldly declared, "Well without further ado, let's begin!"

The auction was conducted at a leisurely pace and small items were brought onto the stage one by one. Weapons, books, or jewelry, Deoxys and Violetta watched with disinterest. However, Dion seemed to be enjoying himself and bidding among the crowd.

Once in a while, there were some rare artifacts that made Dion jump in delight. However, it merely ever so moderately piqued the pokemon's curiosity before deeming the item impractical or useless. As the small items were sold, finally some of the more special products were getting presented.

"Well people, let me showcase our first special item!" The man announced.

The rattling of chains could be heard and a group of people ranging from children to adults was dragged to the stage. They all have dark skin stained with mud and blood, dirty silver-white hair, long ears, and wear shabby linen clothes. Their expression was extremely tired and lifeless, Deoxys could see the ribs poking through their skin, indicating that they were poorly treated and harshly starved .

"I present you the Dark Elves!" He shouted with a maniacal grin, "The males are the perfect labor workers with their strength while the females are elegant and beautiful. Let's start the bid with five gold coins!"

"7!

"10!"

"11!"

The crowd erupted into chaos and they desperately attempted to outbid each other. Deoxys clicked its teeth with a frown and the pokemon was once reminded of the cruel reality of humans. It  faintly glanced at Violetta and gauge her reactions. The assassin clenched her fist to the point of blood seeping out of her palms and she gnashed her teeth, creating a grinding sound.

Violetta was too rageful to notice Deoxys's gaze and the pokemon stared into her eyes. Even if the woman wasn't expressing her emotions fully, Deoxys could see it, anger at how her race were being treated, hatred for the people that done this, hopelessness that she couldn't do anything about it and despairs in the fact that her uselesnss will be their end...

"Is no one going to contest for 15 gold coins? Very well, going once! Going twice. Going th..."

"30 gold coins...." An emotionless voice suddenly interrupted the announcer.

"And 30 gold coins from the lady in the Booth!" The man shouted with excitement.

All heads turned to Deoxys who was sitting on the top floor. Her elegant posture and beautiful face made people held their breath as her calm demeanor subconsciously made everyone feel nervous. Her gaze swept through the crowd, challenging anyone to speak up. Violetta was extremely shocked and stared at her master with wide-opened eyes.

"31 coins!" Someone anxiously uttered.

Deoxys: "40,"

Another outrageous amount that left the bidders speechless. In the end, Deoxys won the bid and was informed of collecting the product at the end.

"Violetta,"

"Y...Yes!!" She stuttered.

"I will leave them to you," Deoxys said in a bored tone.

When Violetta finally registered what was happening, she knelt down: "I won't let you down!"

By this point, Deoxys already turned away from the assassin and continued viewing the auction. Unbeknown to Deoxys, Violetta's lips twitched into a wide smile, and her loyalty towards the pokemon soared.

The auction continued smoothly with Deoxys occasionally betting on some things the pokemon find interesting. Eventually, they reached the final item.

"I'm pretty sure everyone has heard the rumor that something ethereal will be in today's auction?" The presenter asked.

The audience nodded and stared at him with anticipation. The man laughed: "What would happen if I said that the rumors were true?"

The crowd burst into murmurs and he grinned smugly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, a key to the Fairy Forest!" A cart draped with a red cover was wheeled onto the stage and he pulled the cover off.

A small golden key could be seen. rainbow-colored gems were delicately implanted onto the golden frame and it shined brilliantly: "By using this key on any door, one may travel to the realm of the fairies, this artifact was found in a dangerous dungeon located on the east. The item is in perfect order and we will start this bid at 50 gold coins!"

"55!"

"60!"

"80!"

"95!"

The number of gold coins seemed to be getting higher and higher, reaching unimaginable heights.

"200!" Suddenly, a group on the left of the audience shouted. Their faces were hidden by black cloaks and Deoxys watched with attentiveness: "They're most likely the cultists," Dion muttered.

"Is there anyone else?" The man asked, "Okay! The Fairy Key for 200 in one! Two!"

"250 gold coins," Deoxys called out.

The cultist cursed and he glared at the woman on the top booth. Deoxys met with his stare and the cult member begrudgingly turned away.

"260!" He shouted.

"400," Deoxys immediately countered.

"500!"

Deoxys: "700!"

"1500!!!!"

Gasps rang out around the crowd and they couldn't believe their ears. One thousand five hundred gold coins?? That's fifteen platinum coins! Who could afford that? Everyone looked at Deoxys with pity and even Violetta and Dion thought that there was no way Deoxys could win. However...

"3000," Deoxys cold voice resounded through the room.

There was silence before the spectators burst into chaos.

"Oi oi, we don't have that much money!!" Dion said nervously,

"We do," Deoxys answered nonchantly, this amount of money was nothing for Deoxys who have collected Ilulu's centuries' worth of treasure. The dragon girl already handed all the wealth to Deoxys and it's illogical not to use yet.

"IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN COMPETE!?" The presented howled with joy.

Deoxys stared at the group of cultists. They gritted their teeth in anger and they lowered their heads in defeat.

"SOLD!"

Deoxys smiled and stood up from its seat: "Let's go,"

An hour later...

Deoxys paid for everything and the workers happily handed Deoxys the key. They also gave Deoxys the Dark elf slaves and the pokemon transferred it to Violetta. At first, the elves were terrified of their future but with some explanation from Violetta, they felt relieved and were so grateful to the pokemon that they burst into tears. With their goals accomplished, they left and regrouped with the remaining Twilight Shield members.

"Let's get out of here, I felt like something bad is going to happen," Dion muttered.

SWOOSH

A knife was thrown from the darkness, aiming for Dion's face. Before he could react, Deoxys caught the blade in mid-air with its fingers: "Focus," The pokemon hissed

Thirty people instantly surrounded the group, they had their weapons drawn and their leader spoke up: "You have something that we want,"

Deoxys sighed tiredly: 'Why does everything resort to violence,' the pokemon thought.

"Master there's no need to stain your hands with blood," Violetta declared and unsheathed her own sword, "We will kill them all,"

Dion clicked his teeth and revealed two hidden daggers within his blazer, "Guess we're fighting then..."

"There's no way for you to win," The cult leader calmly reasoned, he thought it would be a pointless battle.

The cultists have almost double the number of Twilight Shields. There were also a group of dark elves that the group needed to protect. However, to the cult leader's surprise, their opponents each unveiled a weird red sphere, they tossed the ball into the air as dozens of odd-looking creatures emerged.

Pawniard: "Pawn Pawniard..."

Sneavile: "Sneavile..."

Zubat: *Bat noises*

Before the cultists could register what was happening, Violetta's shout dispelled their thoughts: "Attack!"

The two factions clashed as the sound of metal striking against metal and the scent of blood wafted through the air. To the cult members' shock, these creatures begun bombarded them with spells they have never seen. The assassins that Violetta assigned also couldn't be compared and they mercilessly slayed their enemies left and right...

"H..how..." The cult leader muttered in a daze.

He watched his teammate being butchered with ease as they dropped like flies. This wasn't a battle, it was a slaughter. The leader turned to the lady behind this massacre, her long black hair and purple eyes motionlessly watching the battle.

'Ah, those eyes...' He thought, 'So cold...' The man felt an intense cold just by looking into those eyes and he couldn't help but shiver.

SLITTT

The leader's view suddenly changed and he finds himself upside down. He saw his body, which was missing a head collapse like a doll having its string cut. The last thing he saw before the darkness sets in was Violetta's blade, douse with the blood of his and his team. Realization set in and he felt regret, he never should've messed with them. However it's too late, the consequence of his actions have already set in and all he could do now was hopefully find peace in this darkness...

Violetta scowled and wiped the blood off her blade: "Have we lost anyone?"

"Doesn't seem like it," Dion grunted with disgust at the stain that got onto his white shirt.

Violetta nodded and faced Deoxys: "It is done, master,"

"Good work, let's leave," Deoxys said.

Everyone agreed and they expertly removed all evidence of the skirmish by hiding the bodies and cleaning the blood. The area returned to its original state and Twilight Shield went back to Ardes as the trace of the dead cultists were wiped from the face of the earth.
