章 517: In the Omniverse pt2

"Wow! This Chatroom is so interesting!" Exclaimed a girl with crimson red hair that was soaking in a steaming hot bath.

She was Flannery, the Pokemon Gym Leader of Lavaridge town in the Hoenn region.

As one would expect from a Gym Leader of a town at the base of a volcano, Flannery specialized in fire type Pokemon. None of which were with her now of course, as they didn't like getting wet AT ALL.

So she was taking the moment of solitude to familiarize herself with the Chatroom and what was on it.

In the shop Flannery was amazed to find several items that could make her Pokemon stronger, increase the results of their training, TMs to teach them new moves, and even Pokeballs. Amazingly, there was even a Pokeball with a one hundred percent catch rate called a Master Ball on there!

What surprised Flannery most of all was that there were even Pokemon eggs on there as well, meaning she could quite literally buy the Pokemon she wanted from the Chatroom!

To be able to do that though she needed to complete quests.

The quests Flannery had to take though were quite interesting to say the least. Amongst them were quests related to defeating trainers, catching Pokemon, and even challenging other Gym Leaders!

While the idea itself was interesting, Flannery couldn't help but grow anxious at the idea of facing the other Gym Leaders in battle. She herself had just recently became the Gym Leader of Lavaridge town, so she wasn't sure about challenging the hardened veterans that had been Gym Leaders for several years already...

But then there were also quests that involved her defeating members of the group's known as Team Aqua and Team Magma, names that sounded vaguely familiar, but Flannery didn't recognize them from anywhere around Lavaridge town.

But, based off the name, there was one place nearby where Flannery guessed she might run into members of one of the groups.

The fiery redhead glanced upwards at the massive volcano that loomed over Lavaridge town in contemplation, before standing up suddenly as she declared to no one in particular, "Alright! Let's go check out the volcano and train while we're at it!"

She then quickly dressed and gathered her Pokemon Blaziken, Camerupt, Torkoal, and Magcargo, all fire types, and headed out to complete some quests.

...

In another region, another Gym Leader was deep in meditation as she focused her psychic powers to the extreme alongside her Pokemon, throwing her mind into the currents of time as she tried to divine the future.

Unfortunately all she could find was a cloud of fog. Fog that was growing thicker with every passing second.

The fog had started forming several days ago, clouding the currents of time and making them increasingly difficult to discern. This had been a great source of stress for the woman, Sabrina, as she could only divine such an omen to mean that the world itself was threatened.

Thankfully that didn't entirely seem to be the case after she was invited to something called the Chatroom, which she quickly learned that the Sinnoh League Champion was already a member of. And after talking to her a bit Sabrina had concluded that the fog had begun the day Cynthia joined the Chatroom.

This meant that the fog was developing as a result of their world becoming involved with the Omniverse, which was making the future harder to divine as they became more involved with one another.

Though knowing the source of the fog itself was a relief, Sabrina was still worried since that meant she and other psychics would be unable to divine possible disasters and such. Not to mention the lack of information regarding the man in charge of the Chatroom, Alexander Morningstar.

His entire existence was completely alien to her, as was the rest of his 'wives' as he referred to them. Though Sabrina couldn't help but to wonder what kind of man needed hundreds of wives, and was still apparently adding to the 'collection'.

With so many unnknown variables, and her being unable to divine the future due to the Chatroom's existence, all Sabrina could do was study those who used it to try and learn more about them, and their motives. Specifically Alex himself.

Of course, even as she concluded that, Sabrina didn't have someone posting a naked picture of apparently Alex in mind. She had to admit though, his figure and features were unusually attractive.

...

"Yeah! Let's go!" Cried out a young tanned woman with her black hair tied back in a ponytail, except for her signature green streak.

Currently she was working with her team to help them get stronger, despite the fact that there was no one in the entirety of the Paldea region that could match her. Even their Champion, Geeta hadn't been a true match against her team.

Now the girl, Nemona, was hoping that the Chatroom would give her the chance to truly push herself and her team as much as possible.

This seemed likely as one of the members of the Chatroom was the Champion of the Sinnoh Region, Cynthia, who was notorious for being a prodigy at training Pokemon.

The only part of the Chatroom and different worlds that bummed Nemona out was that apparently they didn't have Pokemon, but on the other hand that just provided its own unique challenge in itself.

So, with something so exciting and unknown to look forward to, Nemona was training her team to be able to handle anything in preparation.

...

"Haa..." Cynthia sighed as she contemplated wether or not to try the Chatroom's new function to send items to one another.

Ever since she had first acquired the Chatroom Cynthia had been collecting Pokemon to be introduced to Asora, or that was the best idea she had for all of the Pokemon the Chatroom quested her to catch. But now she was torn as she contemplated sending a Pokemon in a Pokeball through the Chatroom.

Now they were capable of sending objects to one another, but Cynthia was terrified about sending a Pokemon since she wasn't sure if they would survive the transition. An empty Pokeball was one thing, a Pokeball with an actual Pokemon in it was something else entirely.

She had been discussing the situation with Alex when he suddenly sent her a new message.

[Alex: send one to me. If something happens to it I'll use all of my available magics to try and save it.]

Cynthia felt as if she was going to throw up at the thought of willingly doing something that could literally destroy an innocent Pokemon, and contemplated just telling Alex no at trying to send any Pokemon through the Chatroom.

But with him literally recreating scenes of him bringing people back to life to prove his capabilities to her, Cynthia eventually closed her eyes and pressed send.

The seconds that ticked by afterwards felt like an eternity for each one as Cynthia silently begged and pleaded whoever was listening that the Pokemon she sent was alright.

[DING!]

Cynthia jumped as the notification went off and her anxiety skyrocketed as she debated on wether or not she REALLY wanted to open the Chatroom.

Eventually her morbid curiosity got the better of her, and Cynthia opened the Chatroom to see what the result was of their experiment. And what greeted her was picture of Alex with an excited Chimchar clinging to his hair as it danced atop his head.

"Oh thank Mew!" Cynthia exclaimed in relief that the Chimchar she sent was fine, and appeared to be fairly attached to Alex already if the next few pictures he sent was any indication.

And so now, the Dragon Emperor was officially a Pokemon trainer.

***

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM 'GOD' NOW!" Declared an orange haired girl who posed victoriously.

""All hail God! All hail God!""" Chanted the three before her, a short statured reindeer/human hybrid, a long nosed coward, and a man wearing a straw hat, her own captain.

"NAMI-SWANNNNNN~! YOU'RE ALWAYS MY GODDESS~!" Cried out a well dressed blond man who currently had hearts for eyes as he worshipped the young woman, Nami.

"Looks like they're having fun." A black haired woman said with amusement.

"Yeah. But how did she 'suddenly' get a Devil Fruit? A fruit that conveniently lets her control the weather at that?" Questioned the green haired swordsman at her side.

The woman, Robin, looked at the swordsman, Zoro, slyly at his observation. She of course learned all about how Nami got the Devil Fruit from Alex, and approved of her getting the fruit since it had helped them out against Enel. Even if Nami was acting all arrogant and such now, it was mostly just her messing around in the wake of not only getting her own powers, but also from her beating a major opponent on her own.

And all around them the survivors from the battle, both the Skypieans and the Guerrillas that were descended from the Shandians that originally lived on the island of Jaya, were celebrating the defeat of Enel, their own survival, and the relative peace they had for the first time since the Shandians were sent to the sky more than four hundreds years prior.

In the center of the celebration was the Straw Hat pirates, as they were the ones who did the most in defeating Enel and his priests. However Zoro was the only one in a non-celebratory mood as he pondered just HOW Nami had gotten the Ara Ara no Mi.

"You know something." Zoro said to Robin, who smiled knowingly as she replied,

"Perhaps, but that is for miss Navigator to tell." Zoro scowled at Robin's answer, but didn't press further. He himself still wasn't sure about her, as Robin was originally their enemy.

So all he could do wait until he could ask Nami herself, but with the way party was going, that would take quite a while.

...

"Oh! This is so much fun!" Shirahoshi exclaimed excitedly as she played around on the Chatroom.

For the past eight years she had been locked up in the most impregnable tower of their castle for fear of her safety after a constant stream of threatening letters and marriage proposals on behalf of a Fishman known as Vander Decken the ninth.

The only interaction she'd had with others in that entire time was her pet shark, Megalo, and when her meals were delivered.

So this was the most Shirahoshi had gotten to 'talk' to others in years, even if she embarrassed herself in her earlier excitement. But she wasn't expecting that when she received a notification from Alex, a jeweled necklace appeared before her.

"How pretty..." Shirahoshi exclaimed as she admired the necklace, nearly missing Alex's next message as he explained its function.

[Alex: it's a necklace that's enchanted to protect the wearer from all manner of threats, physical, toxins, mental manipulation, and everything else I was able to think of. With this, you shouldn't have to worry about the threats from Vander Decken.]

Shirahoshi felt as if her heart stopped as she read what Alex did to the necklace he gave her, before tears began to form in her eyes.

Eight years.

That was how long she had lived cooped up in this tower. Living in fear of the constant threats and marriage proposals from Vander Decken. Growing increasingly terrified of the outside world.

Now.....

Now she was safe.

Though there was no basis that Alex had been telling the truth, or that his enchantments would work, Shirahoshi didn't doubt them in the slightest as she slipped the necklace over her head so that it came to rest right between her breasts.

[Shirahoshi: thank you mr. Alex-Sama....

Alex: don't thank me just yet. This necklace comes with a price Shirahoshi. I want you to tell your father the truth about your mother's death.]

Shirahoshi's breath caught in her throat as she read the reply from Alex, as she recalled the information she thought only she knew.

Eight years ago Shirahoshi's mother, Otohime, had been killed.

Otohime was a frail mermaid who had dedicated her entire life to helping others, and always believed in the best of people even when it plainly wasn't there.

A large portion of her life had been dedicated to trying to gain mermaids and Fishman a place on the surface, where they were hunted and enslaved. And while many people thought her crazy for trying to believe in humans, soon her persistence began to pay off as more and more of their people began to agree with her.

The biggest change had been when she nursed a Celestial Dragon back from the brink of death, earning them the chance to have their voices heard by the world government above along with the rest of the kings and queens of the world.

However, just as Otohime had managed to gather enough signatures to show their sincerity, she was murdered.

By a human.

All of the effort in her life had been wasted as a deep seed of hatred towards humanity took root in everyone's hearts from her death, a seed that persisted even now, eight years later.

But Shirahoshi knew the truth.

Her mother hadn't been killed by a human like everyone thought.

Shortly after her mother's death, Shirahoshi had been told by Megalo, who had witnessed the entire thing, that her mother had been murdered by a Fishman. A member of the Neptune Army, Hody Jones.

For eight years Shirahoshi had known the truth about her mother's death, and told no one. This was due to one of her mother's final wishes, which was to hold no hatred for her killer.

But now she was being asked to reveal the true identity of her mother's killer.

[Shirahoshi: mr. Alex-Sama... I can't tell my father the truth. He'll kill them if I did...

Alex: Shirahoshi, I'm not asking you to condemn and execute them or anything. But you need to remember that by killing someone, Hody broke the law. Even more so after he killed the queen of Fishman island.

Alex: not to mention, how would you feel if he hurt or killed more people because no one knew the truth about him? Would your mother want that?]

Shirahoshi was silent as she contemplated what Alex told her.

Truthfully, she understood completely what Alex was saying, but she also did not want to turn her back on her mother's final wish.

Shirahoshi was still thinking about what to do, when another notification sounded as Alex said,

[Alex: what if I told you that in two years, Hody was planning on killing you, your father, and your brothers in a bid to take over Fishman island, and then declare war on the humans?]

"!!!"

Fear filled Shirahoshi at the thought of what Alex said, as she didn't want to see anyone she loved being hurt or killed.

"I-I'll do it! I'll tell my father!" She declared suddenly, seemingly forgetting that Alex couldn't hear her, before she threw open the large door to her room that protected her.

The second the door opened though a large battle axe came flying right at her, making Shirahoshi freeze in fear before the necklace around her neck came to life.

With a flash of light a blue sphere formed around Shirahoshi's entire body, deflecting the battle axe and sending it flying away at greater speeds than it had been approaching her at.

"Ha...." Shirahoshi sighed in relief that the necklace Alex gave her worked, before feeling as if a giant weight had been lifted from her shoulders as she realized that she'd never have to worry about Vander Decken again!

What Shirahoshi didn't realize was that would be the last time Vander Decken would send anything to her, as the battle axe that he had sent to her was reflected right back at him by Alex's barrier. And now all that remained of Vander Decken the ninth was a bloody smear on the deck of his ship.

...

"This is so cool~! But is ok for a man like me to be on here?" Asked a certain horned woman as she sat atop one of the buildings on the island of Wano, her attention entirely upon the illusionary screen before her.

At the moment she was scrolling through the numerous items available in the Chatroom shop, which she would only be able to afford by completing quests to earn points. Amongst the buyable items though were even things like regaining her ability to swim after eating a Devil Fruit, the ability to eat more than one fruit, and even Devil Fruits themselves!

There was even a selection of weapons she could choose from, including Kanabo clubs like her own Takeru.

Unfortunately completing quests and earning points would be fairly difficult for her, as Yamato had shackles around her wrists that hindered her ability to fight, and would explode if she tried to leave Wano.

But the answer for that arrived faster than she ever would've thought possible, as she received a notification from Alex that was revealed to be a single large key, and a piece of paper with drawings unlike anything she had ever seen before.

[DING!

Alex: this is a key that'll open any lock, and the piece of paper is a teleportation circle. It'll take you to the island Water Seven, where you can either acquire a ship or take the Sea Train to start your journey.

Alex: go out and explore for a while. When I make it to that world I'll meet up with you, and we can go defeat your father together. How's that sound?]

Yamato's heart began to pound in excitement at the thought of finally leaving Wano, and getting to explore the world like she'd wanted her entire life.

Though she felt bad abandoning the people of Wano to continue living under her father's tyranny, she also knew she stood chance against him. Yamato firmly believed that only Joyboy could defeat her father, but if it was someone from another world, then maybe it would be possible?

[Yamato: ok then. I'll hold you to that!]

Making her decision, Yamato readily used the key to remove her shackles, and disappeared in a flash of light as she activated the magic circle on the piece of paper.

...

"Hmmm..." Boa Hancock hummed lightly as she examined this 'Chatroom' thing in the privacy of her own room.

She was the empress of the island Amazon Lily, an island free of the disgusting things known as men, where every baby born would be a woman. Without exception.

Their island was situated within the Calm Belt, a stretch of ocean separating the Grand Line from the rest of the world, where wind never blew and no currents existed. As if that wasn't enough, it was also a breeding ground for the Sea Kings, meaning that any who strayed there would face a certain death.

For centuries the women of Amazon Lily would go out and steal whatever they couldn't make or grow on their own, being the only ones capable of traversing the Calm Belt with their ship pulled by Yuda, serpents so poisonous that not even Sea Kings dared attack them.

However in recent years the Marines had made numerous advancements that also allowed them to traverse the Calm Belt as they pleased.

As a result, Hancock had accepted their invitation to join the Seven Warlords in order to protect her people, lest they face annihilation at the hands of the Marines for their piracy.

While the Kuja Pirates, as they were called, prepared for their next voyage, Hancock was familiarizing herself with the Chatroom out of curiosity.

At first she had been interested in it because of its novelty, but when she learned it was used by a filthy man to fuel his disgusting habits she became disgusted by it. Even now she was only using it to determine if it was a threat to her and her people or not, and to see if there was any way she could make use of it.

The Pirate Empress had been quite excited to learn she could use the shop on it to become more powerful, and several of the quests things she'd have to do to earn points involved things she typically did anyways.

The only problem was the frequency the filthy man was on there as he interacted with the rest of the new members, making Hancock sneer at their foolishness to listen and trust a man.

They were all selfish animals incapable of thinking of anything but their own desires. And she hated Alex specifically even more since she learned he went by the title of 'Dragon Emperor', which automatically equated him to the Celestial Dragons in her mind.

The Celestial Dragons were the gods of their world, descended from the original families that founded the world government eight hundred years ago. They looked down on all of humanity from their 'Holy Land', Mary Geoise, an entire city that operated solely on slave labor.

Hancock in particular hated the Celestial Dragons, as she had once been one of their slaves herself alongside her sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold.

They had all been freed when a Fishman by the name of Fisher Tiger rebelled against the Celestial Dragons and freed hundreds of slaves, but had spent the years since hiding the truth about their past.

This had led to them creating an elaborate ruse on their own people, claiming that they had killed a horrible monster known as a gorgon, which subsequently cursed them to turn all who saw their backs into stone. In actuality they wished to prevent anyone from learning of the brands upon their backs that marked them as slaves.

Not only did Hancock fear to lose the respect and admiration of her own people if that happened, but if word got out then the Celestial Dragons themselves would order her capture and return to slavery. She was doubly worried about the second outcome, as she was easily the most beautiful woman in the world. A fact Hancock herself was well aware of and used often.

So Hancock felt nothing but disdain for Alex, even as he acted nothing like the Celestial Dragons she despised so much.

But then something happened that completely caught Hancock off guard, as she received a notification from the Chatroom right before a piece of paper appeared right in front of her.

Hancock reflexively grabbed the piece of paper before it could flutter to the ground, which then lit up the second her hand made contact with it.

"What the-!?" She cried out as flash of light blinded her, putting her on guard as she awaited whatever was happening. But even as the light died down and the paper disappeared, nothing else happened.

[Hancock: what did you do?]

She demanded through the chat, knowing that Alex must've done something to her.

[Alex: nothing~ by the way, mind if I wash your back tonight in the bath?]

The moment she read those words Hancock felt as if a bucket of ice had been dumped into her gut.

T-that was impossible....

H-he couldn't know....right?

Hancock's expression became deathly pale at the possibility of her worst fear being realized, and someone else knew her secret.

B-but that way of talking.... Did Alex do something else to her back?

Motivated by her rising fear and anxiety, Hancock quickly stood and made her way to her mirror, loosening the shoulder straps of her dress as she did so and turned around while picking up a smaller handheld mirror to see through.

Using the two mirrors, Hancock shifted her long black hair to side to examine her back to see what Alex had done, only to see something she never would've expected in a million years.

"Ah!"

*CRASH!*

The sound of glass shattering echoed throughout her room as the smaller mirror fell to the floor, alerting those outside her room while Hancock herself stood frozen in shock.

"Big sis! Is everything alright?!" Sandersonia demanded as she and marigold charged into Hancock's room, only to see her standing there topless.

"Do not enter! The empress is not proper!" Marigold quickly shouted as she stopped any of the other guards and attendants from entering the room, lest they discover the brand.

"It's ok...." Hancock's small voice suddenly said, startling them as one of her sisters asked,

"Big sis?"

Rather than answer though, Hancock slowly turned around to show them ALL of them her back, making her two sisters panic until they noticed what had shocked their sister so badly.

"B-big sis! Y-your back...there's no mark!" Sandersonia exclaimed in shock as they all beheld the jade smooth skin of Hancock's pale back, which was without a single blemish.

What followed was barely registered by Hancock as numerous women congratulated her on being freed of the 'Gorgon's curse', while only her sisters knew the truth. But as a new notification came across the Chatroom, she immediately focused on it as she demanded an explanation.

[Hancock: what did you do!?!

Alex: I used a powerful form of magic to reverse time on your back, returning it to a state before you received your brand. Now you don't have to worry about the Marines learning about it. Also here's this.]

As she finished reading Alex's message, Hancock was surprised to find a ring this time appearing out of thin air, which was a storage ring that contained everything else Alex decided to send her.

[Alex: in that ring is another couple pages with the same magic on them, to use on your sisters, along with a few other things I think you might need. Some of them can also be used to protect your ship and island, so you don't have to listen to the Marines as a Warlord anymore.]

The next few hours after that passed in a blur for Hancock as she struggled to adjust to the fact that her greatest shame existed no more, even when she passed along the other two pages to her sisters, and the same thing happened to them.

But the greatest shock had yet to come, when one of the girls in the Chatroom posted Alex's picture from the previous competition. The same picture Princess Yue was masturbating to.

In it all of the seals Alex had placed on his 'Peerless Beauty' skill had been removed, leaving Hancock stunned as she beheld a man more beautiful than she was.

'H-He's too beautiful!' Hancock exclaimed in her mind, as her heart began racing and she was unable to tear her gaze away. Even with Alex's completely erect thing and sack on display as well.

'So this is what it feels like...' She thought despairingly to herself.

'This is how it feels, to be ugly...'

***

Hermione Jean Granger was torn.

Just a little bit ago a strange screen, reminding her of a television screen, appeared before her that only she could see.

At first she had been utterly fascinated by it, especially since it appeared to put her in contact with other people like a telephone. But now she was filled with utter disgust at it when she learned it was used by a man for his harem.

A HAREM!?!

REALLY!?!

Hermione was appalled that such an archaic and sexist practice still existed, and even more appalling was that so many women were participating in it.

She was still fascinated by the Chatroom and some of the people on it, but now her fascination was accompanied by disgust that only grew anytime an inappropriate picture was posted on it.

And as the bell rang to indicate the next class was starting she put the Chatroom out of her mind as she rushed to Charms class.

Arriving just in time, since she'd been distracted by the Chatroom, Hermione quickly found her seat as class began and professor Flitwick began speaking.

"What happened? You never cut it so close." Muttered the boy next to her under his breath.

"Nothing." Hermione muttered back, before glancing at him out the corner of her eye.

She then planted a quick kiss on his cheek when the professor wasn't looking, and took his hand into her own lovingly. And while he was confused by her actions, the boy squeezed her hand in return even as they both focused on the lesson, with professor Flitwick once again emphasizing the importance of their upcoming NEWT exams.

And while Hermione paid her professor the utmost attention, she also couldn't help but to wonder why anyone would agree to be in a harem. She herself could never imagine sharing the man she loved, Harry James Potter.
