Fox's Glory

Chapter 1

Bright sunlight streamed through the branches of the thick green forest, causing the soft grass and wide leaves to light up. The forest was teeming with life, with pokemon living happily inside the hollows, in their nests on branches, and comfortable dens at the roots of trees. All the pokemon chittered in the warm morning, only too happy with their comfortable and peaceful lives.

In the bright sunlight, the light lit up the chestnut pelt of a Vulpix lying under the shade of an oak tree.
She was happily eating a Berry. She was just as comfortable with her wonderful forest life as the rest of the pokemon living in the lush undergrowth. But just as she had that thought, a pang of emptiness hit her right in the chest. She was all alone. Though she lived in a forest packed with happy forest pokemon, whom she occasionally talked to for light conversations or resolving who should have that bunch of Berries, she had never had a friend. And right now, she had never felt more lonely in her life.

Rising to her paws, the Vulpix fluffed up her tails and began to trudge away from her sleeping place, to take a walk and clear her mind. Suddenly, two Rattatta leaped out of the bushes and hissed, baring their big front teeth. The Vulpix could clearly see that they were inexperienced and young, the little Rattattas were just looking for a play-battle.

"Battle us!" One of the Rattattas squeaked. The other Rattatta nodded fervently, bouncing on her little purple paws. The first Rattatta glanced at her and shook his head, as if to remind her not to act so childish to the older and more mature Vulpix.

"I'm Tiny, and that's Theif!" The childish Rattatta squealed. "And we are so NOT childish, 'cause we're so gonna BEAT you right now!" Theif covered his face with a paw in embarrassment about his partner.

"Look, I don't think I have the time or the energy to battle you little guys," The Vulpix said wearily.
"There are many other pokemon in the forest who I'm sure will be glad to battle with you." Tiny and Theif looked furious with her suggestion, and stepped forward. She was quite obviously not given a choice.

Tiny used Helping Hand!
Theif used Tackle!

Tiny braced herself to defend and help Theif. Theif rushed forward to Tackle the Vulpix. Normally she would have easily been able to dodge his attack, but Tiny's Helping Hand raised his accuracy for the attack. Theif raced forward and slammed hard into the Vulpix. She widened her eyes in anger.
"Oh, you asked for it." the Vulpix gritted her teeth with anticipation. She hadn't battled for a while now,
for a couple of weeks at the least.

The Vulpix used Flamethrower!
Tiny avoided the attack!

The Vulpix took a deep breath and spouted flames, but Tiny was small and quick, and easily dodged it.
Tiny raced forward and brought her paw down hard on the Vulpix's head. She was far too quick for the Vulpix's liking, and was unable to dodge the Pound attack. Tiny seized this opportunity to rush forward and sit on the Vulpix's head. From this position, she was able to hit hard, quick, and full power without the Vulpix being able to fight back at all. As Tiny Pounded her head, Bit her ears, and Scratched her forehead, the Vulpix aimed multiple Ember attacks at Theif. Unfortunately, only a few hit him, and both Rattatta still had a lot of HP left to go. The Vulpix was not so lucky. Both Rattatta's Speed and Defense were simply too high.

The Vulpix's health was dwindling, and Tiny threw her head back laughing at this easy fight. Then suddenly, Tiny's weight was lifted off the Vulpix's shoulders. She gasped in suprise as she saw Tiny fall out of the sky and land on the ground. Vulpix shuffled backwards in shock as she saw rushes of air,
peckings of a beak and wacking with wings hit both Rattatta. In mere seconds, the two were fainted.

And standing there, with her talons of one leg resting victoriously on Theif's body, a Pidgey shuffled her wings and grinned at the Vulpix.
