The Adventures of Sivart, Nazrat, and Ret-tuc (Pokemon edition)

Chapter 1: Alone on the Mountain

Sivart awoke from his sleep, not fully aware of where he was. The night before had been hard. His closest allies, Nazrat, and Ret-tuc abandoned him, because he had protested to going a different path from them.

A medium-sized, lizard-like creature sat beside him. It was a Charmeleon. Sivart had given him the nickname Zippo. A flame was lit on the end of its tail; it was keeping Sivart warm. Sivart smiled at the orange creature, thankful of its presence and faithfulness to him.

The inside of Mt. Coronet was filled with danger and treachery, but that is not what worried Sivart the most. The worst part of being inside the mountain was the temperature. It was freezing cold. The flame on the end of Zippo's tail was barely enough to keep them both from freezing.

Sivart sat up from the homemade bed in their cavern and slipped on a pair of fingerless gloves as well as a cap with a paw print on it. He checked his belt to make sure his six poke balls were still where he had left them. Thankfully, no one had stolen them while he was asleep. He also had his 38 mm pistol which he carried everywhere he went.

Although they had abandoned him, Sivart worried about Ret-tuc and Nazrat. He knew they had chosen the path of a suicidal fool. The path down the mountain would certainly not be as safe as the one inside of it.

"Let's go, buddy," Sivart spoke to his faithful friend Zippo.

They continued their journey deeper into the mouth of the mountain, not aware of the danger that they were getting themselves into.

(Meanwhile, somewhere on the outside of Mt. Coronet)

Nazrat and Ret-tuc marched proud fully down a trail which they had specifically chosen for themselves.

"Sivart go boom for sure. Duh-huh." Nazrat spoke in his caveman-like tone.

Nazrat's faithful pal Primeape sat on his shoulder. (Nazrat was strong enough to carry him)

"Primeape!" It boasted.

Ret-tuc made no comment. He was not thinking about reaching the other side of the mountain or finding Sivart. He was carefully contemplating a way to destroy Mt. Coronet. It was not that he had no resources to accomplish this task, but he could not decide the most effective way to make his statement. One possibility would be to use the earthquake attack of his powerful Torterra.

"Tell me, Nazrat, what do you think the people of Sinnoh would do if their precious Mt. Coronet was suddenly rocked by an earthquake and crumbled to the earth below?"

"Ugh…panic? Scream? Run? Cry? Flee?..-" Nazrat began his reply.

"Ok, I get the point," Ret-tuc cut him off, "I like the result in all scenarios."

"What scenario mean?"

"It means that all of the meaningless humans must die…" Ret-tuc finished their conversation with a maniacal laugh.
