Chapter 2: Fly Away Pidgey!

Rizu had recovered in 2 days, having had a good night rest and was able to go back to her journey that was planned to starts that exact week. Which to her, seemed very creepy.

She walked towards the lab in New Bark City and heard a kid calling for help. She rushed over and saw him. He was trapped in a tree with some Pokemon at the bottom.

"Are you okay?!" she called

"No! These Pokemon attacked me when I was training my Pidgey! But she ran off when these guys showed up! She's only a baby and I'm scared she's been hurt!" he cried

"I'll looked for her! Don't worry!" she shouted

She yanked her bag off her shoulder and grabbed the Love Ball containing her Eevee, Fluffy.

"Come on out Fluffy!" she called, throwing the ball up.

Fluffy appeared on the field. Her eyes, instead of being a chocolate color, were a light blue. She had a scarf wrapped around her neck.

"Fluffy! Use Tackled on those wild Pokemon!" she ordered

Fluffy ran, and using her shoulder, smacked the wild Pokemon out of the way. The only one that stood up to Fluffy's Tackles was a Pidgeotto.

"Okay. Lets try a Quick Attack, Fluffy!" she called

Faster than normal trainers would say for an Eevee, Fluffy rushed the Pidgeotto and took out its left leg, causing it to fall over.

"Nice shot! Okay! Go Pokeball!" she shouted, throwing a Pokeball at the weakened Pidgetto.

The Pokeball wobbled a little bit, shaking while trying to get the Pokemon. Then it stopped, saying the Pokemon had been caught. Rizu smiled, running over to the Pokeball.

"Yes! I caught a Pidgeotto!" she cheered

"Eevee ee!" Fluffy cheered

"Okay. Star Flyer! Come on out!" she shouted, throwing up the Pokeball.

Star Flyer landed on her shoulder. Rizu smiled and looked at the little boy.

"What did you Pidgey look like?" she asked

"She was a light brown, unlike others. And she has a ribbon around her left ankle." the boy said

"Okay. Star Flyer. Go patrol the skies for her while we go on foot." she said

"Pidgeo!" Star Flyer responded, taking off into the sky.

Rizu looked around and then started floating. She helped the little boy down. He stared at the ground and the fainted Pokemon. Rizu smiled, gently, setting the boy on his feet and turning to Fluffy.

"Return." she said, holding up the Love Ball.

Fluffy went inside of her Pokeball. She turned to the boy.

"My name is Rizu Zilant. What's your's?" she said

"Josh. What was that Pokemon you used?" he asked

"I'm glad I was able to help you, Josh. Now, lets go find your Pidgey." she said, smiling.

Josh blinked. He had remembered seeing the Johto Championship when he was 4. And there was a

little girl that had run up to the Champion, Lance, when he had won. She smiled just like him and the little girl. And her hair was the same shade.

"Excuse, ma'am. Is it, by any chance, you're related to Champion Lance?" Josh asked

"Yeah. I'm his daughter. I love being around this place so, I know New Bark pretty well." she said

"Just wondering. Cause when you smile. You look like him. Just with short blonde hair and being a girl." Josh said

"That's okay. So, what's your Pidgey's name?" she asked

"Beauty. I named her that cause she's a beautiful girl." he said

"That's a wonderful name since she is one of a kind." she said. "Beauty! Come out girl!"

"Beauty! The bad Pokemon are gone! Come out!" Josh called

The duo had been looking for Beauty for about 6 hours now and had no luck. Rizu sighed and pulled out her Pokegear.

"Okay. It's noon. Would you like to stop and eat? I have a lunch packed and wouldn't mind sharing it." she said

"Don't you think we should focus on finding Beauty? She could be injured." he said

"Yeah, you're right." she said

"Pidgeo!" Star Flyer screeched, landing on Rizu's shoulder.

"Did you find Beauty?" she asked

"Pidgeo pidge." Star Flyer responded

"Lead the way, girl!" Rizu cheered

Star Flyer took off, Josh and Rizu following her. Rizu stared in horror as she saw where Beauty was. She was in a tree that was leaning over the edge of a cliff. Josh suppressed a scream as he watched a Noctowl advance on her.

"Please! Do something! It'll kill her!" he cried

But before he knew it, Beauty fell from the tree. But a flash of red, yellow and black caught her. Rizu fell into the water, shielding the small bird with her body.

"No!" Josh screamed

He ran to the edge and looked around. Rizu was no where to be seen. He whimpered. She had died saving his Pidgey.

"I'm so sorry you had to die to save her." he whispered

The water bubbled and a Dragonite popped its head out of the water, cradling Rizu's head. Josh stared in shock as it flew up and landed in front of him. Beauty flew into Josh's arms. Josh squeaked as a hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up to see Lance standing there.

"C-C-Champion Lance?!" he shouted

Lance smiled. Rizu's eyes fluttered open. She smiled at the Dragonite.

"So I guess Koga told you about the attack of wild Pokemon, dad?" she said, looking at him.

"No. He said he had talked to you and you were looking for a lost Pidgey. Karen made me come find you. Are you okay?" Lance said

"Yep. Josh I'm glad I was able to help you find your Pidgey," Rizu said, hopping from Draco's arms. "Gotta go!"

With those words, she ran off. Lance climbed onto Draco's back and was gone in a few seconds. Josh smiled sweetly at his Pidgey.

"We'll train, so one day we can be as brave as Rizu." he said

"Pidgey!" Beauty cheered

Rizu looked up when she found a nice place to camp out. She smiled and threw up the Loveball and Pokeball into the air.

"Come on out guys!" she cheered

Star Flyer and Fluffy popped out of their balls. Star Flyer landed on Rizu's shoulder. She smiled and petted her beak.

"You're a good girl, aren't you?" she asked

"Pidgeo." Star Flyer answered

"Lets see what my pokedex says about you." she said

She pulled out her pokedex and held it in front of Star Flyer. It read "Pidgeotto, the bird Pokemon.

Pidgeotto uses its claws to capture its prey."

"Okay. We need to get going. I need to get to Cherry Grove so I can get some thing from Koga. And I bet you guys want to rest now, don't you?" she said

"Pidgeo." Star Flyer said

"Ee." Fluffy said

"Okay. We can take a break tonight. But we might have to pull double time tomorrow so we can get to Cherry Grove. Got it?" she said

"Pidgeo!" Star Flyer shouted

"Eevee!" Fluffy shouted

"Okay. Lets take a break." she said

And with that, the trio set up camp and rested. Star Flyer nestled up against Rizu's side and Fluffy curled up on her lap. Both Pokemon were asleep before Rizu, who was sending a message to Lance.

Thanks for saving me today dad. I know it seems weird that I needed to be saved, but I didn't think when I jumped to save the Pidgey. I know it was stupid and I could have died, but I remember you told me to what ever it took to protect Pokemon, no matter what might be happening. I love you a lot and hope you are resting well.

Rizu

She closed her Pokegear, and like her Pokemon, soon fell into a deep sleep. One with color images of her family and friends. The ones she left behind in other wolrds, and the ones who had died to save her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she smiled in her sleep.

I know what you're thinking. Why does the child of a dragon clan have an Eevee as a starter? Because I though Rizu would be coll if she had an Eevee. And she's getting a Piddeotto so she can fly later.
