The night was dark. A forest fire burned both beautifully and horrifyingly in the night. Faint voices called out through the blazing fire. A Blaziken and a Blastoise, both wearing teal handkerchiefs around their necks, looked around frantically. "Any sign of her?" said the Blaziken. "There! There she is! Come on!" cried the Blastoise, who, along with the Blaziken, ran over to a tree which appeared to have a Pokemon trapped underneath it. It was hard t see what kind from all the fire and ashes burning, but that did not matter. What mattered was that this Pokemon had to be saved. "Where the hell is Reggie!?" cried the Blaziken. "He should be on his way. Til then, help me get this tree off of her" said the Blastoise. Both Pokemon attempted to push the tree off, with no avail. Suddenly, a Dragonite, who is also wearing a teal handkerchief around his neck, flew into the hellfire, looking at the two Pokemon. "Bout time you got here Reggie," said the Blastoise. "Whatever. What do I do now?" said Reggie, the Dragonite. "You can start with helping me push this damn tree off this Pokemon" said the Blaziken. "June (the Blastoise), put out some of these fires so we can get a safe path out of here." "Got it," said June, who began using Hydro Pump to hose down the trees surrounding the immediate area. Reggie and the Blaziken then shoved the tree off the Pokemon, then Reggie picked her up and hoisted her on his shoulder. "Get her out of here," said the Blaziken. "June and me will follow behind once we put out these fires." Reggie looked at the Blaziken for a moment. "CT, dude... you're a Fire-Type... and you're gonna put out a fire? I guess that's because you're a Fire/Fighter! Ha!" said Reggie, cracking a joke at the worst time possible. "Now is NOT the time for that! Get the Pokemon out of here!" cried CT (the Blaziken). "Fine, fine. Jeez," said Reggie, who lifted up the Pokemon and flew out of the forest, still burning ever so brightly.
Once out of the forest, Reggie set the Pokemon down gently on the ground. She appeared to be a Nidoqueen, but it was hard to tell with all of the second-degree burns around her body. Her blue hide was covered in cuts and burns, and she did not look conscious. "Fuck man... she doesn't look to good," said Reggie, being Captain Obvious. "When are they gonna get here?" he added. A few minutes later, with the fires put out, June and CT sprinted over to the Nidoqueen. "She's got burns everywhere... oh my Arceus..." said June, examining the burns. "She might not live if we don't get her medical attention right away" he added. "Well where are we gonna take her? I don't know of a doctor or whatever around here" said Reggie. "I do," said CT. "Brenda" he added. "Reggie, pick up the Pokemon and follow me. Same with you, June".
And with that, the team all walked (in Reggie's case, flew) until they met a Meganium in what appeared to be a greenhouse with plants of all sorts flourishing. The building itself was a bit damaged, with some windows broken and dusty, though the Meganium didn't seem to mind. "Brenda! Brenda!" cried CT, running into the greenhouse, accidentally knocking over a few plants in the process, with Reggie and June following. "CT! My pla- oh my Arceus" said Brenda, the Meganium, who focused her attention to the burned Nidoqueen. "What happened!?" Reggie set the Nidoqueen gently on the greenhouse floor. "We got a distress call," said CT. "We got her out of a forest fire. The forest is fine now, but she's burned all over. We need you to help". Brenda examined the charred Pokemon. "I'll try to heal her with my Aromatherapy," she said. "But if that doesn't work, I am sorry, but she will bleed out and die" she added, a tone of sorrow in her words as she closed up the sentence. "...alright..." said CT. "Could you all stand back while I try this?" asked Brenda. "You heard the lady," said CT, while he, June, and Reggie, all stood back.
The Meganium extended the petals around her neck and used Aromatherapy. Small, pink rose petals emerged from the Pokemon, flew to the Nidoqueen and covered her wounds, healing them. The burns slowly began to fade away, and the Nidoqueen slowly regained consciousness. Her eyes slowly began to open. "She seems to be coming to," said Brenda. "Yeah... looks like it..." said June. The Nidoqueen woke up, and sat up. She examined her surroundings and the petals placed on her body that healed up her cuts. "Where... where am I?" she asked. "You're in Morado Town," said June. "Morado... Town...?" the Nidoqueen repeated. "Yeah," said June. "
It's what remains of a human-populated town." Reggie looked at June with a cross look. "Isn't the rest of the world what remains of a human-populated town?" added Reggie. June sighed and nodded. "What...? What do you mean by that?" asked the Nidoqueen. "Let me explain," said Brenda. "A long time ago, humans and Pokemon inhabited this world together, side by side. Until one day, a dark shadow overtook the world. Now, all the humans are gone. The few humans we could ever find are dead and blistered, as if they were attacked by something." The other Pokemon vouched for Brenda.
"Oh, sorry to change the topic," said CT. "But we never did get your name." The Nidoqueen thought for a moment, then it came to her. "My name... my name is Needles."
