The moon glistened in the cloudy sky, illuminating the dark forests in the best way it could. Silence spurred across the area, too uncanny to not be noticed. All of a sudden, a shadow flickered among the bushes, too fast and sudden to be caught by the naked eye. A Linoone blazed through the area, flickering in and out in a hurried manner.

Several howls echoed through the forest in different areas, the grass rustled, and an Absol could be seen staring at the place from a precipice; in an instant, the peaceful night had turned into a hunting ground. The chase finally came to a halt when the Linoone was cornered, surrounded by a pack of Poochyena and Mightyena, leaving it with no other option but to meet its fate.

It didn't give up, however, as it glowed brightly after using a move that left it a bit exhausted. Its body shone white and then it disappeared, no trace of its existence. It reappeared near a Poochyena and barreled into it with full force, knocking the air out of the surprised Poochyena's lungs. The remaining Poochyena dove in to join the fray, but the Mightyena remained still, intrigued to see their child's performance.

The Linoone wove in through the attacks- twisting, side-stepping and leaping to dodge their well-coordinated attacks. That gave it some hope, the hope that it could survive this battle. Just as it dodged through the final strikes to gain its freedom, a shadow loomed over its body and a Mightyena bit on its neck.

Mightyena's canines cut through its neck easily, like a hot knife cutting through butter. Blood flowed from the inflicted wound, as it turned motionless.

The pack had gotten some feed for them, but they would need to hunt again tomorrow, as it wouldn't last long. The Poochyena were still young and required more experience. Perhaps the Linoone could have escaped if it wasn't for the stat boost through Howl, which had increased the power of Bite.

The leader knew about this and made sure to impart the knowledge among his pack. After all, he had attained the position of leader for a reason.
