"Mom! When is Azelf going to be back?" A Psyduck eagerly ran up to a Golduck who was sitting near a tree stump.
"Soon, little one, soon." The Golduck smiled, patting the Psyduck on the head, "You're an eager one, aren't you?"
"Well, I've been honing my Psychic skills! I want to show Azelf next time she visits!"
the Golduck said proudly.
"Don't worry, she should be here soon." the Golduck nodded, then she twitched as she looked towards town, her expression changed.
"Mom. . .what's. . .what's wrong?" the Golduck looked worried.
"N-nothing Brine. Just. . . stay here." Golduck got up slowly and started running to the town. 5 minutes, she didn't come back. 10 minutes, she still wasn't back. Brine was starting to get worried. Soon, he started to run towards the town as well.
He only saw the town in trouble. There was all the town's villagers being surrounded by a bunch of scary looking pokemon, and his mom being hit.
"Where's Azelf?!" One of the pokemon screeched, but his mom refused to speak.
"She's not speaking! We need to get her to speak before Speed gets here!" another scary pokemon yelled.
"Who are you?" Brine turned to see the Speed Form of Deoxys standing there, glaring at him. Brine couldn't speak, he was too fearful to even utter a word. Speed, evidently not pleased, hit the poor Psyduck, knocking back all the way to his mom.
"Brine! I told you to stay there!" the Golduck said, but Brine still couldn't speak. He just grabbed onto his mom and started crying.
"Did you get any information yet?" Speed bellowed.
"N-not yet sir. No one will speak" one of the outsider pokemon stammered.
"Well! Make them speak already!" he yelled, "I'm not waiting all day just to find out where one legendary is!" Speed eyed Brine again, then growled.
"Fine, if you can't do it without my help." he grabbed onto the Psyduck with one of his many arms, pulling him away from his mother again and holding him upside down beside him.
"If you don't tell me where Azelf's cave is located, I will make sure this pokemon's end isn't too pretty." he yelled.
"Don't! Stop! None of us know where Azelf is!" Brine's mother screamed, "She just comes and goes, we never follow her!"
"Lies!" Speed spat.
"I know a general location. . .but I'll show it to you only if you promise to leave my child alone."
"Do you really think you're in a position to bargain?" he sneered.
"Actually, I am." Brine's mother produced a bag, "This is a mixture of some of the most deadly toxins in the world. If I swallow even some of it, I'm as good as gone. You'll loose your information."
Speed seemed to think it over, then grinned, "Okay, I'll take your deal." He snapped his fingers, and two of the scary pokemon grabbed her as he threw Brine to the side.
"Duskull?" Speed turned to a Duskull standing near him.
"Y-yes my master?" he stammered.
"Make yourself useful and make sure he doesn't have anyone to call for help to."
"Of course master." the Duskull started floating towards the still crying Psyduck. The last thing Brine saw before his vision started getting blurry was his mom being dragged away.
