To the Reader:

This is a Pokémon fanfic… I know, there are many and some ones (like "Ken", by Mewtwo) are really good and other ones (Many and everywhere) are beaten or awful. But, I'm from the thinking that if you have a story in your mind you should do the possible to write, polish and share it with those that have an interest on reading it.
Changing the topic I would like to apologize in advance for stuff that might hurt some people's sensibility to my own (maybe twisted) Pokémon world's vision and for closure I would like to mention that I don't own those, as well as some concepts taken from the game and anime, those belong to Satoshi Tajiri, Game Freak, or Nintendo as the case may be and these material is for nonprofit and free distribution.

Part I

Somewhere in the desert outside the city, a young lady walks through the darkness. It is a new moon night that barely let see. She is lightning the sidewalk with a hand flashlight with careful to avoid making noise, she was a little tired due the tough day she drove in, she went to her uncle's house to give her something important and got lost, but she believed the road she walked through will lead her to her home.

– Very good, I almost arrive. I can see the lights from the city in the distance…

That words were in her thoughts, when suddenly heard some steps and a breathing just behind her, then with a fear that curdles the blood, turns slowly to see what is following her. There was a strange creature with a scarecrow shape, but green color, with spines and a gaze, yellow, sharp and evil. As she note that her body become full of terror, she yelled with all her guts, and began running like never in her life, but soon she realized that was surrounded by these strange creatures. Then she threw a pokeball which a little orange chicken come out of it.

– Torchic Flamethrower! – The desperate girl yelled.

The little bird opened its tiny peak and from it came a giant flare that burned one of those monsters, but step–by–step the sand begin to arise from the desert building a storm that barely let's see though, the tiny girl's partner it's then hit from everywhere, to its arms with flying spines, it begins to throw fire to all directions, but it doesn't seem to hit anyone. The girl return it to its pokeball and begins to run, but is intercepted by one of the creatures' spiky arms. She then tries to get up but the spines' poison starts to take effect and could slightly move, all seem to be lost. She sees at the monstrosities slowly get near with the goal of getting their hunt's reward, or at least is what it seemed, until a sound was heard, like a very loud squeak that distract them. The last she can see before losing consciousness it's a shiny and metallic bird.

The huge bird flap its wing so strongly that the burst takes the sandstorm away and drag almost all monsters far from there, the few ones left out throw their poisonous spines arsenal, but they don't make it through the metallic bird's plates. This one flies toward them, attack them plummeting with its beak and claws until take them down into the ground, just one of them gets up and with its claws hits the bird as hard as it can, but it barely makes any scratch, the enraged bird mercilessly pecks its attacker leaving it with very deep holes in its body.

At the distance a shape is getting closer, a young man with an eye patch, a hat and a gabardine that covers his face and almost all his body.

– That was enough Skarmory – he said getting the bird back to its pokeball, throw some more to catch some of that creatures.

While getting closer to pick them up sees the girl in the ground, then take out his first aid kit and some antidotes, which he injected in her arm and covered the wounds with some bandages and gauze. She didn't wake up, but while listening to her heart, though it was mildly beating, and when taking the pulse and her breathing all seemed normal. Then he loaded her and walked to the close hospital's direction.
