Thunderstrike ran. The forest he was in was on fire. he dodged a falling tree. In his teeth was a small newly hatched eevee. He ran faster causing the eevee to complain softly. Her throat was already filling with smoke.

They burst through the treeline and onto a green prarie. The forest behind them was an inferno. A tear fell from Thundersrike's eye as he remembered his mate was still in there. He ran faster and a flash of lightning struck the ground near them. Thunder crashed and tears from the heavens fell, soakig the earth.

A strike of lightning struck Thunderstrike and his young daughter. Thunderstrike did the only thing he could do and threw his daughter to the ground and absorbed all of the white electrike fire.

His vision blurred and the last thing he saw was a fearow swoop down and carry his daughter to safety.

Content with this Thunderstrike alowed himself to freely take the rest of the lightning, saving his daughter.

The jolteon woke up slowly. When he tried to get up his right side burned. When he turned his head to look he saw the entire right side of his body was blacked and raw.

He tried to remember what happened before then and all he could remember was the sound of crashing thunder.

Slowly he staggered across the prarie. He walked until he colapsed on a river bank.

He didn't even notice when he was lifted up and carried to a pokemon center.

All he knew was that he was gone,

Thunderscar was born.
