"Come on! I think I saw it run in here!" One young boy yells to his friend, another young boy. They're both holding something. "Hey! Patrat! We got something for you!" The second young boy yells, going over to his friend. They're in a clearing in a forest. "Rat?" A little brown Pokémon says as it sticks its head out from behind a bush, a few feet away from the boys. Without a warning, the boys start throwing rocks at the little creature while running after it.
"Rat! Patrat!" This sound causes a girl to look up from a river where she was getting a drink from. The girl's dresses in a green tank top with two pockets on the sides and a pair of cargo pant shorts that ended just above her knees. She then snarls. "Can't people ever learn?" She asks herself as she stands up, still snarling. "Zebsrika!" She yells as a zebra like Pokémon comes running over to her. Once it's by her, she jumps on it and it starts running to where the Patrat's calls are coming from.
The two boys start laughing as they find the Patrat being cornered at the base of a cliff. The booys start walking closer to the Patrat before something brings them out of their evil thoughts. "Hey! Get away from that Patrat!" The girl yells as she and the Zebstrika come down from the top of the cliff and land behind the boys. The Patrat sees the girl, and the gap between the two boys legs, and runs over to her and climbs up her leg and stops at her shoulder where it holds on and then starts telling her what was going on in the Pokémon language.
The girl just glared at the boys after the Patrat had finished. "Who are you two to do that to a Pokémon?" She asks as she jumps off the Zebstrika. "W-We didn't do anything!" The boys say as they take a step back. "Is that so? If not, why does that Patrat have an injured arm!" The girl demands angrily as she points to the Patrat on her shoulder with a rub bump on its arm.
The boys bite their lips before the girl throws a rock by the boys' heads, making the rock shatter behind them. "Don't hurt any other Pokémon." The girl demands as she glares at the boys. "Y-Yeas ma-am!" The boys yell as they take off running. The girl watches them go and, once they were out of sight, reached up to her shoulder and pulled the Patrat off her shoulder and set it in her hand as she sat down. "Now, Patrat, does it hurt when I do this?" The girl asks as she pokes the Patrat's arm, where the red bump was. It winced in response, making the girl frown. She then sat the Patrat down and pulled some bandages out from a pocket in her pants.
She holds her hand out to the Patrat while smiling reassuringly. "Don't worry, this should make you feel better." The girl says as the Patrat touches her hand and starts walking over to her. The girl smiles and starts wrapping the Patrat's arm and, once she's done, rubs its head. "There, you should be okay now. Just call if you need help." The girl says to the Patrat as she gets on the Zebstrika. "Well, good bye!" She yells as she takes off, the Zebstrika carrying her to wherever they will go, neither know how today will change the way they live, all four of them. (You'll find out who the fourth one is soon.)
While the girl was running off, the boys were running back into Nuvema Town, their home. They run and run until they come to a building and then they run into it. Inside is a woman with brown hair who's holding a clip board and has a lab coat on. "Professor Juniper! Professor Juniper!" The boys yell as they grab onto the woman's legs. "What is it boys?" The professor, Juniper, asks the two as she puts her hands on the backs of their heads. "There was this really weird girl in the woods with a Zebstrika!" One boy says. "Yeah! And she threw rocks at us!" The second boy says. "A girl you say? Well then, don't worry, I'll go take a look and see what's going on." Juniper says as she smiles reassuringly as she rubs the back of the boys' heads. She then walks out of the building, the only thing with her, a few Pokéballs.
The professor soon ends up in the same clearing that the boys had been in earlier. As she looks around, she notices a Patrat running by. She also notices how the Patrat has a bandaged arm. She narrows her eyes in thought at this and starts running after the Patrat who, having been hurt earlier, did the two things that came to mind. One: run faster. Two: Call for her. So it did the things that came to mind, it started running faster and started calling for help.
The girl was just walking beside the Zebstrika when she heard it, the calls of help from the Patrat she had helped earlier. "No! Not again!" She yelled angrily as she jumped on the Zebstrika's back, again, and the Zebstrika started running to the distressed Patrat.
'What is it doing? Most Patrat just run, usually they don't call out as erratically.' Juniper thought as the Patrat became cornered against the base of a cliff, again. This time, however, the girl came much quicker. "You! Stay away from him!" The girl yelled as she jumped in front of the Patrat from the top of the cliff, after jumping off of the Zebstrika.
Juniper just starred at her for a moment, noticing how she looked ready to fight and had a glare filled with anger, annoyance, and determination. "Well now, who would've thought that there was actually a girl with a Zebstrika." Juniper said as the Zebstika came down and stood by the girl. "Young girl, you're ten, am I correct?" Juniper asks as she sits down.
The girl drops her fighting stance and nods quietly. "Okay, so where are you from? Where do you live?" Juniper asked as the girl sat down by the Patrat, who climbed into her lap. "I'm from the woods. I live in the woods." The girl says as she starts rubbing the Patrat's head. This answer, as unexpected as an answer could be, caught Juniper off guard. "W-What do you mean? Where's your family?" Juniper asked as rustling could be heard from a nearby bush. "Well, Zebstrika is part of my family. So is this little guy." The girl said, pointing to the Zebstrika first and then the little Patrat in her lap. "There's also-" She started before the thing that had caused the rustling appeared in front of her, ready to fight.
Juniper jumped back as the new Pokémon made itself known. "-Bisharp." The girl finished as she walked over to the Bisharp's side. "Sharp." The Bisharp said as it swung its arm down to its side. "A-Ah, I s-see." Juniper said with sweat drop while smiling nervously. "Well, since I've met your family, may I know your name? Mine's Juniper." Juniper said as she stood up and dusted herself off. "I'm Sakura." The girl, Sakura said as she walked over to Juniper and stuck her hand out.
Juniper, knowing what to do, shook the girl's hand. "Sakura, why don't you come with me? Your family can come too." Juniper said as she looked over to the three Pokémon that were Sakura's family. "Only if there's food." Sakura said as Juniper started to lead them to her building.
Yep, things were changing for the better for Sakura and her family, they'd be able to help others easier this way.
