Autumn had went hiking with her trainer up the side of an inactive volcano. They had reached the summit, and Autumn's trainer was taking pictures and admiring the view. Despite her long neck, Autumn was still too small to see over the blanket of pine trees, and as such could not get a good look at the panoramic view.
What she did see however, steep, smooth dirt trail going straight down the mountain. One of Autumn's favorite things to do was to roll around inside her shell. It was when Autumn first realized this that she finally learned Rollout, an offensive move that proved devastating to her opponents in battle and ended her reputation among her trainer's other Pokemon as a weakling.
The hills in the park and the wheelchair ramps outside of the local Pokemon Center were some of Autumn's favorite things to roll down, and the thought of charging down this long mountain slope was a thrill in itself.
Without a moment's hesitation, Autumn pulled her legs and head into her shell, and began rolling down the mountain. She peeked out of a leg hole as she began to pick up speed and watched the trees and rocks zoom by, and squealed in delight.
Before long however, she was speeding down the mountain at a frightening rate. Autumn became disoriented as she was jostled brutally inside her shell, and she couldn't even keep track of where she was going.
Autumn continued picking up speed, and soon was rocketing through the forest with no way to stop. A small rock sat in the middle of the path ahead. Autumn couldn't have seen it, and even if she did there would have been no way for her to stop herself.
The runaway shell smacked the rock at high speed, launching it into the air momentarily before it crashed into a nearby boulder with a sickening crack. Autumn went flying through the air for several more feet before being thrown back to the ground amongst the shattered remains of what was once her shell.
Aside from the loss of her shell, Autumn wasn't injured severely. The icy mountain wind stung the exposed flesh of her back, and without her shell she felt vulnerable and weak. The Shuckle sobbed pathetically as she mourned the loss of her shell and cursed herself for being so reckless.
Autumn awoke from her nightmare a few hours later. She sprung instantly from sleep and realized that she was in her trainer's apartment. Quickly she shuffled over to a mirror and inspected her shell, pleased to find that it was still in one piece and well polished with Berry Juice, as she always kept it.
Ever since she had the dream, Autumn was always very careful around volcanos and took very good care of her shell.
HAPPY END.
