Ok, so this is my entry for SilverUmbra's contest. I have to write a oneshot for each Legendary, whenever they come up. Just another thing to add to my overstuffed scedule! Sorry, fans of Misunderstood. While I will be updating it, it won't be very fast. I just keep getting distracted!

Anyways, the first Legendary is Zapdos! I had fun writing her, this was an interesting concept to think up! And to those who think that it lands on a slightly odd note, all my stories in here will be conected. Meaning that this concept will probbily be brought up again, based off the luck of the draw!

All needed disclaimer: I own nothing!

This was supposed to be romantic, but... it ended strangly. The story just wrote itself away from me! No more dilly-dalling, read on people!

Zapdos sat on the hidden cliff edge, watching the event taking place below. It was the middle of winter, the time of year when the cold winds from the north blow, water freezes, and snow falls. As if reading her mind, some flurries fell down and landed on her back. Zapdos shifted her cold feet slowly, as not to let too much snow fall and alert the Pokémon below. Although, she doubted that they would notice her. After all, winter was also when food became scarce, and predators took risks. Risks, like a hungry pack of Houndour attacking a group of Mareep that was protected by trainers.

Zapdos watched the fight, things were now getting interesting. The trainers had an Eevee and a Pidgey. They didn't last a minute.

The two trainers returned their Pokémon, desperation on their face. Were they out of Pokémon already? Man, these guys were useless! They ran to the brush to hide as the Houndour attacked the Mareep. This could be the end….

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came down from the clouds above, melting the snow around due to the sudden flash of heat. Zapdos almost fell of her perch, she was so surprised. This wasn't her lightning. Then what…

The answer came as another bolt of lightning, this time, hitting the ground right in front of the Mareep. The snow melted as the electricity faded into the ground. Right were the lightning hit, stood Raikou. Zapdos stared for a moment, her mind racing. Raikou? What was he doing here? Oh, right. He's the protector of the small. Forgot that.

Raikou growled at the Houndour, "Leave. You have no business with these Mareep." The Houndour didn't need to be told twice, they ran as if the dogs of hell were chasing them. Or the dog of Thunder, whichever.

The humans in the brush came out slowly, surprised at the sudden appearance. The Mareep stared at him with admiring eyes, until one of them said, "T-t-thank you for saving my- I mean, our lifes."

Zapdos snorted softly. And she was just starting to enjoy the show!

Raikou turned around to the Mareep, and smiled. "No need to thank me, I just like saving lives."

"Oh, the great Raikou is very humble indeed!" Another Mareep said. Some more bleated their gratitude and complements. The trainers looked quite confused; they could not understand what they were saying.

"I think their thanking it." One said. The other nodded in agreement, and Zapdos used her wing to do the closest thing to a face-palm that she could. Humans could be such idiots at times…

"Don't be so modest, Raikou!" One Mareep said. "You have saved us from a vicious and evil force of those Houndour!"

Zapdos' feathers ruffled as she surprised the urge to swoop down and carry off the Mareep. Vicious and evil. Idiots! Did they not know that those Houndour were starving? Eating meat was how they lived! She ate meat, too, and she wasn't vicious and evil. Those blasted sheep ate plants everyday to survive. Did that make them vicious and evil?

"I can't stop being modest, it's my nature." Zapdos rolled her eyes when he said this. Raikou continued, "But, I really have to go now."

"Thank you, Raikou. Because of you, we get to live another day." The first Mareep said. She smiled, and then yelled, "To the greatest electric type who ever lived!"

More Mareep joined in the chant. Zapdos was in a mild shock. The greatest electric type who ever lived? Well what about her? She was the thunderbird, she was more powerful than that do-good canine! And unlike him, she wasn't afraid of getting her talons bloody. It took all her willpower not to go down and attack him now.

Raikou's face showed his surprise, and he said, "The greatest? Really?"

Zapdos could not take any more of this, she took off, and flew to the forest, not caring if they saw her or not.

She flew onward, anger boiling her blood, warming her against the cold winter breeze. She did not really care what happened. She just flew forward in a blind furry, until she ran across the Houndour pack again. They were standing in a clearing, cussing Raikou's name to the lair of Giratina. Well, at least she found someone who didn't like him as much as herself.

She landed nearby, wondering when they would notice her. Quite truthfully, she didn't know why she did it, she just did.

She looked around. They were hard to see, but there were a number of dens along the sides of the clearing. A small pool, now frozen over, was nearby the rock she landed on. So, this must be their home.

One Houndoom, she was quite surprised to see an evolved form, yelled, "Every time! Every single stinkin' time we find some food, that stupid Raikou comes and stops us!" Every time? So Raikou has been stopping them before? The Houndoom continued, "We cannot go like this much longer! We all are starving, and four have already died!" Four?! What the heck was that idiot Raikou doing? Zapdos took a closer look at the nearest Houndour, she could see its ribs, it was so thin! Something small and bony moved at it's feet. Zapdos realized in shock, it was a pup. It was barely alive.

She took off, not noticing the surprised Houndour and Houndoom looking up at her. That idiot! He was messing with the cycle! Carnivores eat meat to stay alive! But he is too occupied with being the hero to care. She remembered what that one Mareep said, Because of you, we get to live another day.

Well, not for long. She was going to end this. She was going to end the Houndours' suffering. She was going to end the nuisance that is ruining the forest. She was going to end his stupid rescues, the stupid wannabe hero. She was going to end the greatest electric type of all. She was going to end his life.

She was not afraid to get her talons bloody.

And when this is over with, she shall be the one. The Greatest electric type of all.

Her.

Not.

Him.

One reason for this; Zapdos dosen't get enough love. Everyone's Favorite is always Raikou. I just thought that Zapdos would get tired of it after a while.

The other; this was supposed to be romantic ZapdosxRaikou, a sweet pairing im my book. But again, this didn't end up the way I wanted. And random fact, this has 1,038 words.

No Opionion is forgoten! There is a review button under these words! Use it! Thank you very kindly, and have a nice day! =^^=
