Gotta be an Owl Master - The Owl House Pokémon AU

Mysteries in the Shadows

3rd Person POV:

It's now the next day as after Willow got back her Pokémon, the new group of three went to their shared room and started to get to know each other. Luz and Gus explaining their previous adventures while Willow talked about her becoming the gym leader, well, before she decided to tag along with them.

This includes all there Pokémon as both Vileplume and Bulbasaur got equated with the others. Both Eevee and Oshawott praising the two for their awesome battling skills, the two grass and poison types just scratching the back of their heads in response, flattered by their praise.

The three had a lot of fun talking to each other, so much in fact that hours felt like minutes to them. They didn't even notice though as it took till around 12:00 AM before Willow checked the time on her Rotom Phone and saw it. "Wow, it's already 12."

This makes them all chuckle. "Guess we were having a bit too much fun talking. Best for us to get some sleep." Gus suggested as the two girls nod to this idea before they all hit the hay. There Pokémon following suit as they all sleep on the couch.

At first, things seem to be normal as everyone is sleeping soundly. The only thing really happening for a bit is Oshawott and Rowlet waking up to get a bit more food before falling back to sleep. Though, right before they go back to sleep from another one of their snacks, they see a dark figure from the outside of the window.

This of course scares them as Oshawott uses Water Gun out of fear. When he does so, the shadowy figure thankfully goes away as this produces a sigh of relief from both the Pokémon. They also didn't end up waking up the others which was another plus.

Even though they were confused from the situation, they both decided to brush it off as just them hallucinating due to not much sleep. This finally makes them go to sleep indefinitely till morning, not wanting these 'hallucinations' to continue throughout the rest of the day. They then get back onto the couch as they get onto the top of Vileplume for comfort, sleeping soundly afterwards.

Though, after the two fell into their slumber, their dreams became weird to say the least. No, more like very weird mixed with a bit of creepy.

Dream, Oshawott's POV:

As much as I was wishing to be dreaming about some beautiful water type Pokémon, it seemed like my dream had other plans. When I opened my eyes, I suddenly was in a black void, and surprisingly consciousness. Huh, I thought that in dreams your not supposed to have that. Then again dreams have weird rules so who am I to judge.

After my short ramble inside my brain, I turn to my right to see... Rowlet? "Rowlet, is that you buddy?" I asked as he was currently turned away from me. It seemed he didn't hear me so I tried tapping on his head, still no response. I then just decide to turn him around to realize he is still somehow sleeping.

You know what, if anyone could sleep in their dreams, it would for sure be Rowlet. I just sigh as I shoot a Water Gun attack right at his face. This thankfully woke up my shiny owl bud. "WHAT!?!? Where am I, what planet am I on, WHAT YEAR IS IT!!!" This makes me sigh once more as I slap his face to stop his own rambling.

"Snap out of it dude, also, I don't really know where we are, or what year it is." I say as I try to look around, seeing if there is anything that isn't pitch black. But of course I had no luck, typical. This is when Rowlet finally seemed to gain his own consciousness as he blinked a couple of times before waddling to my side.

"Why couldn't I just have a normal dream where I was on a cloud sleeping, or on a pillow sleeping, or on a giant piece of fruit-" Before he even finished his sentence, I interrupted him.

"Let me guess, sleeping..." This causing a shocked expression to appear on my shiny owl buddies face.

"How did you know!" I just roll my eyes as I continue to search around, maybe there will be a puddle of water I can swim in or something. Still nothing though! I'm getting sick of this dream, and fast. "Wait a second, how do I know your even the real Oshawott?" Rowlet asks me as he seemed to get suspicious for no reason.

"I LITERALLY used Water Gun on you and you didn't wake up. Well, you woke up, but not in the real world. I don't know, dreams are weird." I tried explaining as he seemed to believe me.

"Okay, okay, that makes sense. Though, how do you know if I'm the real one." Rowlet counter argumented.

"I- uh- huh, good point. I guess I don't really know if I'm-" As I tried to say, I was interrupted by him hitting me with a Leaf Blade right to the face. This of course hurt, I'd be more surprised if it didn't. "HEY! What was that for!"

"That was to make sure you weren't just imagining me, your welcome." He stands proud for what he did, I mean he's not wrong so I can't complain.

Suddenly, a purple tornado started to surround us. This putting both me and Rowlet's guards up as we stood back to back. As we prepare to make a move, the same shadowy figure from before we slept appeared again. "Why are you here! I thought I got rid of you!" I said, trying to hide the panic in my voice, but easily failing.

"Nice job Mr. Confident, you want a standing ovation or something?" The shiny owl said as that just made me give him the stink eye.

"Now is not the time for your sassiness!" As I respond back, the shadowy figure starts to actually form something. Something that neither me nor Rowlet seemed to recognize. It seemed to be human like, mainly with the face, but at the same time it was quite obvious it was still a Pokémon due to the no legs and unproportionate body parts.

While me and Rowlet might've not known what exactly it was, we knew that this thing wasn't going to be friendly. This caused us to get into a battle position as the dark figure's hand gave a taunting gesture. Basically saying 'bring it on'.

Dream, 3rd Person POV:

As the two small Pokémon get ready for their attacks, the shadowy figure just stood there. Well, more like floated there? Eh, same thing. Either way, this thing was intimidating, but that wasn't going to let that fully scare the otter and shiny owl.

After a bit of waiting, the mysterious creature got its wish granted as the two Pokémon finally charge in with their attacks. Oshawott using Razor Shell while Rowlet used Leaf Blade. Both attacks surprisingly land, causing the usual cloud of smoke to appear as the two get knocked back to there original spots.

This makes them celebrate as they didn't think it would be that easy. Though, there worlds are about to crushed as when the smoke disappears, it reveals the Pokémon to look completely fine. They were at least expecting a scratch, but no, it looked like nothing even happened.

While this did annoy both the small Pokémon, they weren't just going to give up as they went back in for another attack. This time, Oshawott used Aqua Jet while Rowlet used Aerial Ace. But instead of just floating there like last time, it actually dodged both attacks at incredible speed. Even though the two tried chasing after it with the same moves still active, it was just so quick that it was able to keep maneuvering around both of them.

Eventually, they were too tired to continue the attacks and were sent flying straight to the ground as the figure just floated back to the ground with no an ounce of tiredness. But after a quick breather, they went right back on the attack. They kept trying to send an onslaught of attacks, but the figure would just keep dodging or take them head on with no scratches.

This obviously annoyed both the otter and shiny owl as they weren't getting more and more exhausted from each attack. Soon enough, the two were on the ground, panting from all the relentless attacks. This time though, they didn't have the strength to keep the barrage going as they stayed on the ground, trying to regain their breath.

While they did this, the mysterious figure just kept staring at them before finally doing something. The creature started to create a dark orb in its hands as it charged it up. With their breath not yet regained, they didn't have the time to dodge as the orb was sent straight towards them.

Both only hearing two words before everything went to black.

"Dark Void..."
