Hello, it's Amaterasu from the future~
I would just like to start off by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this so far. My muse has never been higher for writing. Updates may take a while, but in no way do I plan on quitting.
That being said, I really enjoy feedback. Constructive criticism is most definitely welcome, as it helps me make myself better.
Thanks, and please enjoy!
The moon's light reflected off of the dew drops of the glistening leaves housed by the thick patch of trees below. The soft wind tried to convince them to leave the green landing pads, nudging, shaking them gently. Silence was disrupted by the crunching of leaves as a creature padded by. The near silent creature stepped through the slightly moist ground covered in the debris of sticks and leaves that had finished their turns taking place on the housing trees. It kept moving slowly, it's slick black and blue fur reflecting the soft white glow of the moon. It's eyes glowed a bright yellow, as it moved slowly, static flowing through its fur as it gave off a slight glow. It looked ahead, seeing a fire upon a human building ahead. The glow of its fur became stronger as its travel came to a stop. Faint shouts were heard in the distance. The creature gulped, and decided to run towards the flaming building.
"You've got to get them out of there!" a fireman, controlling a hose, shouted to another few, who were running into the building. They ran into the strong smoke, searching for people. Moving quickly, they moved through the building that was once a home. Walls were collapsing, the ceiling was falling apart. They frantically searched for any signs of life.
"I found someone!" one of them shouted, moving out the door, supporting a woman who seemed to be unconscious, struggling to cling on to life. He helped her out of the building, and got her into an ambulance.
Another firefighter was searching another part of the building, and found a man, also unconscious. "I found another!" he shouted, helping the man up and getting him out of the thick, unbreathable air.
Two more men were in the building, unsuccessful in finding anyone else. One of them noticed a string hanging from the ceiling, leading to an attic. The man quickly pulled the string, bringing down the ladder. He unfolded it and climbed up the ladder to see if anyone was up there. He looked around, his sight failing him due to the smoke, but then he heard a faint coughing sound. He looked towards the direction the noise came from, and saw a little boy, trapped in the corner due to the partially collapsed roof. The man shouted down to the others that he found a kid, and climbed up into the attic. The attic floor shook, soon going to give way. It was a good drop, so if the attic collapsed where the child was, he would not survive.
"Hey!" the man shouted to the kid. "Hold tight! You're going to be okay!"
The kid, weak, looked over to the man. He kept coughing, unable to breathe properly, about to lose consciousness.
The man made his way towards the kid and tried to lift the collapsed part of the roof, but he couldn't do it.
"Help…" the kid muttered. The man tried and tried to get the roof up, but to no avail.
"Hold on big guy, I got you." he said to the poor kid. He didn't know if he actually did, though.
It shook again, a creaking sound following, meaning that the ceiling was going to give way in a matter of seconds.
A shudder. A crack. A boom.
A collapse.
The man watched as the patch of ceiling fell to the ground, watching the kid fall with it. How could this happen? How could he not save him?
But the boy didn't hit the ground.
The man looked to his left, seeing a small Pokémon holding the kid's shirt collar between his teeth. The creature had saved the kid's life.
So far.
The Pokémon dug its claws into the remaining section of ground. Stepping back a little more every few seconds, sliding forward, struggling to keep grip.
The man managed to push the collapsed part of the roof out of the way. He grabbed the kid, with the Pokémon's help, and held him in his arms.
"Come on!" he said to the Pokémon as he headed back to the ladder. The man was followed down the ladder by the creature. They both ran towards the door, the man holding the small child in his arms. They both made it out the door, the entire building collapsing into a large pile of wood and ash as they made their escape. The building's remains was engulfed in flames.
The man made it to another ambulance and got the kid in there. They set him on a gurney, and gave him an oxygen mask. The kid was almost unconscious.
As they were about to close the doors, the Pokémon jumped into the vehicle with its last bit of strength. It climbed up to the kid. The kid looked back at it.
A… Luxio? he almost didn't have the strength to have the thought go through his mind. They… exist?
The Luxio's face was the last thing he saw before losing consciousness.
