Empoleon peeked out from behind the large tree.

"Anyone, there, Empoleon?" the female Lopunny asked.

No... no I don't think so." the male Empoleon answered.

The two Pokemon carefully walked out from the behind the tree and into the clearing.

"Hear anything?" Empoleon asked.

The Lopunny closed her eyes and twitched them everywhere she could reach.

She opened her eyes and answered, " Nope. Nothing."

"Hm," Empoleon said with a nod. "Let's go."

They walked into the forest on the other side of the clearing, keeping on the lookout for other wild Pokemon. They were two Pokemon that had been best friends ever since Lopunny was a Buneary and Empoleon a Piplup. They had always played and trained together. When Buneary evolved into Lopunny, Piplup (who couldn't stand the fact that he was weaker than a girl!) left to the north pole to train. Lopunny waited about two years before he returned as an Empoleon, stronger than ever. Now they were out in Eterna Forest, Lopunny's birth place, training. They were just about to get out of the forest when they heard rustling in the trees around them. Empoleon and Lopunny got ready for battle when ten Staraptors flew from the trees and formed a ring around the two Pokemon.

" Get out of our territory OR ELSE!!!" all of them yelling at once, raising their wings so the tips touched.

"Brace yourself!" Empoleon yelled.

The Staraptors flew in the air, still in a circle, and spun around.

" WHIRLWIND!!!" the Staraptors yelled and made a tornado around Empoleon and Lopunny.

Fore five minutes the giant cyclone whirled around the two Pokemon. When it settled down, Empoleon and Lopunny were gone! Suddenly, the penguin and rabbit Pokemon popped out of the ground.

"That all you got?" Empoleon said cooly.

The birds stared daggers at Empoleon. Their wings turned red.

"Uh-Oh...." Lopunny said.

"What is it?" Empoleon asked.

"It looks like..."

" CLOSE COMBAT!" the Staraptors shouted, charging at Empoleon and Lopunny.

The birds slammed their wings into the duo. Empoleon's steel type side left him vulnerable to the fighting type move. Lopunny was a normal type so it did lots of damage on her too. More then Empoleon. Empoleon was able to withstand the attack, but Lopunny was soon out. And badly hurt.

"Urrrr... enough!!! Blizzard!" Empoleon yelled, releasing a snowstorm from his mouth.

The Staraptors were immediately frozen solid, their faces with a stuck expression of shock at the powerful move. Empoleon looked down at Lopunny and gasped. There was a large cut on the side of her stomach and it was bleeding bad. Empoleon looked around for any more enemies, picked Lopunny up and quickly ran out of the forest.

Anyone know what to call this shipping? If you do, make a guess.
