A lone Grovyle egg was nestled among wild ferns. The moon's ray shone on the egg making it almost silver. A sudden wind picked up as a lone figure materialized out of the darkness. The Noctowl scanned his eyes around the clearing. He suddenly gave 3 hoots and rushed toward the egg. The Pokemon swept the egg up in his talons and shot off into the night. As the Noctowl flew, clouds formed and began to shroud the moon. He hooted with surprise at the sudden darkness, and dropped the egg. Before the Noctowl had time to compose himself, the egg had fallen away from view.
A female Grovyle was taking a leisurely walk in the woods she called home. Her senses tingled in awareness and she whipped her head up. A shape was falling from the sky? She narrowed her eyes to see it better, then her eyes widened. She trust her way up a nearby tree as fast as she could and leapt off the tree's top. Catching the egg in midair she landed on the springy grass and examined the egg, making sure it had no nicks or cracks. She sighed with relief. As she decided what to do with the Grovyle started to make a nest, tonight she wouldn't mind sleeping unprotected. The egg's hospitality was first, that was the Way of the Grovyle. She churred to herself, and was startled to hear an answering squeak come from the egg. The female Grovyle was called Shimmer, because of the way her scales shone. Shimmer began to make a make-shift nest for herself and the egg. Once the egg hatched she would take it to the nearby clan. She fell asleep with the egg protected against her body
Morning woke up Shimmer with a crack. She sat up and scanned the clearing, making sure no Pokemon heard. She hissed a low warning as the egg cracked louder. Then the egg split and a baby Treecko slid out, whimpering feebly. It noticed Reflection and squealed. Shimmer cooed at the baby and it crawled as fast as it could to her and snuggled against Shimmer. Later she would take it to the clan, but for now, she would spend some time with it.

(Chapter one)
The wind playfully rustled the leaves on her body. Her intelligent eyes pierced the wooded area around her. She was searching for prey, her eyes a luminous gold with flecks of red and purple in them. A sudden movement rustled the tall grass. The female Grovyle burst through the foliage and jumped. The Pokemon in the grass turned out to be a lone Mightyena . It yelped in surprise as she leapt onto it, sinking her claws into its dark hide. It snarled and whipped it's head around to try and knock her off. She felt a sharp pain in her shoulder and jumped off. The Mightyena's wound was trickling like a slow, tiny, red stream. The Grovyle pinpointed the Wolf's weakness, its abdomen. She swept low and careened into the Pokemon. The Mightyena rolled with the blow, breath knocked out of it. The final kill from the Grovyle came slowly. The leaves on her arms began to glow and they melded into each other forming into a long blade. Then she slashed the Wolf. The Mightyena gave a long last cry before it died. The female Grovyle gave a sharp triumphant cry before taking the prey's scruff into her mouth and racing away with it back to the clan.
The leaves on the trees seemed to glimmer and sparkle from the morning's fresh rain as the Grovyle raced through Melody forest back to her clan. "Welcome back", Echosong said another Grovyle with open-hearted friendship. "Hi Rainbreeze", Echosong said, muffled from the fur in her mouth. She walked over to the fresh kill pile and placed the Mightyena down. Echosong beckoned Riverbreeze over. "Let's walk together", she said. "I'd like that", Rainbreeze replied. The twosome then sped off to the Marrep Clearing. As they walked they saw the marrep grazing and sleeping lazily. "Even the Mareep look content today", commented Rainbreeze. "Yeah",Echo replied. The wind whispered around the twosome and past them. Echosong took a deep breath. The air had a faint hint of winter frost. Soon the whole clan would be migrating to their winter home. All of a sudden she whipped her head in time to see a shape coming at her through the tall grass. She chuckled, the sound reverberated all around her. It was a beautiful and terrifying sound. Loving a challenge she sidestepped and the shape sped past her. As the figure turned around she recognized it as it bowled her over with a head butt. Echo sat up and gasped with mock surprise. Then she put on a perfect poker face, got up and said, "Leafstorm, you know better than to fight your friends!". He whipped his head, Head leaf swirling in defiance, "Yeah, but it's fun to take you by surprise".Echo chirped in laughter "You can never be able to surprise me". Then Leaf composed himself and got ready to tackle her. "Let's have a little match to see who's trained harder", Echo said. "You bet I will", Leaf replied, his legs tensed up for battle. The Echo leapt into the air.
Leaf got ready and looked up just as she blasted him with Bullet Seed. Echo slashed Leaf as she landed, Leaf dodged, but not before he earned a nick in his shoulder blade.
Echo's shoulder felt wrenched, but showing weakness only goaded your own enemy. She grabbed his leg and nipped it. Leaf scowled and bit back a cry of pain. She jumped back and mock glared at him, the red and gold in her eyes melding together as her pupils dilated into slits. Even her eyes looked intimidating, and they were only play fighting. Before Echo could react, Leaf kicked out foot claws smashing into her jaw. She gasped with real pain, Fury and excitement shone in her eyes. Echo cursed to herself, he threw her off balance. She spun out of the way as he slashed his Leaf Blades. Echo saw an opening and readied hers. She slashed and the impact when it hit Leaf was so powerful that he broke two ribs and was thrown off his feet and into a prickly bush. He winced in pain as he tried to move. As Echo walked over Leaf gasped the question "Truce?". She laughed, triumphant and then replied "Truce". They slapped twos(Grovyle only have 2 claws on each hand) "Wow!, that battle was very fierce, I almost joined in". Rainbreeze said, eyes shining. "But I thought you could win, Leaf" she chided him. "Aw man, but she so strong. Even though she's been in this clan for 2 years ", Leaf said. "Yeah", Rainbreeze replied. "Well that's enough excitement for one day", she chuckled. "Congrats Echosong". Then the threesome set off back home
