PROLOGUE
The sun rose over the horizon beaming its light on the land, over the mountains and canyons. Out in the open there lay a mid-sized town where Pokemon of almost every kind lived in peace. Folks wander on about minding their own business doing their work or wereas they call it, Life. Today people gather around as the town mayor made a news announcement on updates of a creation of the town clock.
"I'd like to make an announcement folks" the mayor lickilick said "As you can see the town clock is nearing it's final touches"
The townsfolk we're discussing in excitement of this news
"So in celebration there will be a party held in town square in celebration of it being the official town clock"
The crowd cheered as the mayor left the podium
The neas was big and spread out to different towns, but specifically on one town as a crowd of Pokemon were having great thoughts of this party.
A Riolu with a western jacket was having a conversation with another "Oh man I can't wait for this party to happen in Magar Town"
"I know right, not to mention the lovely ladies attending" a Tepig with a bowler hat responded
But he was interrupted by a man who bumped him aside wearing a cloak covering his body and a hat keeping his face hidden.
"Hey watch where you're going!" Tepig yelled
All the man did was glare at Tepig from the shadow in his eyes as if he was looking into his soul
Tepig was immediately intimidated by him "Yee!... never mind it was my bad"
And so he continued walking to wherever he was going
Riolu watched this happen "Man what's up with that guy, anyway what are you going to do this week"
"I was thinking about asking Clara for a dance to the party"
This gave Riolu a confused look "If you think you're gonna dance with that Snivy than I think you should reconsider it"
Why's that"Tepig asked
"Well ever since her family was killed by outlaws she hasn't talked much and she's always on the move on her Ryhorn for 'errands'" Riolu pointed out
"Which is why I'll catch an outlaw and prove myself to her" Tepig said sounding cocky
Riolu have a loud sigh "You know the sheriff's going to stop you"
"I didn't say out would be this town" Tepig said "I'm going to be the greatest sheriff Magmar Town ever had"
"You're kidding right" Riolu's eye twitched "Clara was going up for that role"
"Oh right" Tepig remembered "Oh well I'll think of something"
The Tepig chuckled at his own amusement. Riolu couldn't help but to laugh as well, but at his stupidity that is.
"Idiots" An old raspy voice was heard
Tepig turned toward an old man. It turned out to be an old Raichu with a white beard wearing a cowboy hat.
"Can I help you" Tepig said with a confused face
Raichu looked up from his hat "No, but you can help yourself by not becoming the town sheriff"
"Why's that?" Riolu said
"Outlaws 'round these parts are growing in strength and numbers especially near Magmar Town" after he said that he walked past them
"But can't we just team up with more people" Tepig asked
Raichu didn't stop but still talked "Ever wonder why there's always a new sheriff job available" it was all he said before he was out of sight
Tepig had a nervous look in his face and slumped down on his stomach
Riolu bumped his shoulder bringing him back to his senses "Hey, don't let that guy bring you down I believe in you"
"Yeah you're right" Tepig picked himself up "I'll achieve anything if I believe in myself"
"Anyway what are strange people doing here?" Riolu's question was about to be answered
An explosion was set off just around the corner as Pokemons started evacuating. The force of the explosion had Riolu holding his hat which nearly feel off his head
"What was that!?" Tepig said frantic
"It came from over there, come on" Riolu ran over to the corner
Tepig carefully followed him from behind. Riolu arrived just around the corner and saw the town bank in a big fiery ball. The building was broken down and fire was coming out on whatever was left of the windows. There was the same cloaked man from before coming out of the flames as if he wasn't affected by it.
Fortunately for the two someone came by with a flashy badge
"Alright kids I think you should back up in this and let someone more appropriate handle this" a charmeleon said
"Sheriff Andrew!" Riolu's face lit up with hope
"Step back, things are about to get messy"
The two backed up as the Charmeleon confronted the strange man, Tepig was trying his best not to fight too
"So is it Dark Flash Zach I presume" Andrew had his eyes on him "Or is that just the resume"
Zach didn't talk but pulled out something from his cloak. He pulled a gun aiming straight towards Andrew.
"No way, if he has a gun then shouldn't the sheriff have one?" Riolu asked
"No...he can't guns were outlawed, and the rule applies to the sheriff as well so he'll just have to use his natural abilities" Tepig answered
"So I guess it's gonna be the hard way" Andrew pulled a battle stance
Zach began firing his revolver merciless at Andrew as he started running from side to side fishing them. Zach eventually ran out of bullets in revolver, but it didn't matter to him because he had a sleight of hand reloading it instantly. Every reload he did mad e it a step closer for the sheriff. But something was up, as if this was all too easy.
Andrew was drawing in on him "Too bad this has to end so soon" he was coming in with a slash
Strangely Zach didn't move because, it was all a trap! The sheriff was only inches away from him before being hit with a water gun. He was sent flying to a building, Tepig and Riolu were surprised and turned to see it was a Carracostawearing a Mexican robe. Andrew was about to get up, but the Carracosta used rock slide on his arm and leg trapping him
Tepig couldn't hold back any longer and charged straight towards the cloaked man with a tackle. But it looked like that's not gonna happen because he was overpowered by a barrage of will-o-wisps. It came from a Braixen who happen to come out of the shadows top regroup with the two outlaws. Riolu was about to join in and fight
"Don't" Andrew said struggling "Just go!"
Andrew pulled his available hand and whistled loudly. The same old Raichu came out on a Rapidash toward Riolu pulling him on the ride. Then he made a turn to Tepig. Riolu leaned down and grabbed his hand(palm, hooves?) as they made an exit from the town. The outlaws did not pursue them but continued their business with the sheriff.
The three were nearing the end of the town. Riolu felt his arm shaking, he saw Tepig trying to break free
"What are you doing?" Riolu asked
Tepig looked at Riolu with a sad expression "I'm sorry, but there are just some things you can't achieve without fighting" was all he said before freeing himself and ran back to town.
Riolu turned back to the Raichu "Stop we gotta go back!" he pleaded
"It's too late, they've already finished the charmeleon by now, and if we go back we'll be finished too"
"But if we work together we can take them down right?"
Raichu didn't stop
Tepig raced through the town and saw the three criminals standing in front of Andrew. He couldn't see Andrew due to them blocking the view of his body, but he did see his hand on the floor as if it didn't had any was then thathe knew sheriff Andrew was dead. The three outlaws turned to see Tepig in front of them
Tepig braced himself "It's just me and you" he started charging up a flame charge and came running towards themfull throttle
"Bang" "Bang" Riolu heard gunshots coming from the town
Riolu knew it, that Bayard got himself killed. That was the day that something in him changed, maybe a need for justice
"Hey Raichu"
"Call me Finch" Raichu said
"Finch there's gonna be a hero who's going to stand up to them. And I promise you I'm going to make sure that happens"
