UPDATE: MISSING PERSON BRENDAN BIRCH

SPOTTED AT EVERGRANDE CITY APRIL 19 10:21 P.M.

SUSPECTED TO BE LOCATED IN VICTORY ROAD

FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF SUPPOSED REPORT SHALL FOLLOW

"Swami," I said slowly to my stunned Swampert. "Muddy Water."

"Alonzo, charge up on SolarBeam." Tropius.

"Polka, Fake Out, double time." Ludicolo.

"Magma, Rock Throw, but hang back."

My Pokemon attacked the snarling, roaring beast, as I stood still, frozen.

Polka ran up to it, midroar, and smacked the hell out of it before running back, huffing and puffing. Too much for the chubby Pokemon to handle at one time.

Due to the extra time we got from the Fake Out, Swami managed to get a good sized Muddy Water to hit it. Unfortunately for the monster, because it roared again after Polka shamed it, got dirty water all in its gaping maw.

As it coughed up the water, still trying to roar menacingly, Magma managed to hurl a pretty rock at the monster's skull, which dazed it quite a bit, what with water still in its mouth.

I couldn't help but smirk a little to myself. This big, dumb IT was supposedly the thing that created Hoenn? It was coughing up water, rubbing its freakishly large skull with its freakishly large clawed hand, looking quite pathetic at the moment.

It was obviously not used to getting the shit beaten out of it, because it took long enough for Alonzo to get charged up on SolarBeam. Which is a hell of a long time, considering we were in a cave.

Alonzo got out its own mini roar (pathetic, compared to the monster's) and shot a laser beam of light at its chest. The monster was knocked back quite a bit, huffing and puffing.

Almost too easy.

"Again!" I shouted. I then stopped Polka, who obviously was confused as to what he should do. "You stay with me. You can't do much at the moment."

My team went through the same thing again, this time with Magma and Swami attacking at almost the same time. The monster was still nursing its wounds. Well, trying to, so it made no attempt to protect itself.

How pathetic! Wait till you see what I brought home for research, DAD. Going to be proud now, DAD? Am I good enough now?!

I looked away from the fight, confident in my team's abilities. I bent down to get a pokeball from my satchel. I searched for one and, comically, couldn't find one. Polka managed a light laugh amid all the chaos happening around us. I searched deeper, finally finding the Master Ball Dad gave me when I was little. Polka whimpered beside me, and then tugged at my t-shirt.

"Hold on, hold on," I said, rising to my feet.

That's when I heard it. A sudden shriek.

"Mom!"

I hear the shriek again. I run down the hall, to my parent's bedroom, cursing and more shrieks emanating from inside.

My 6 year old hands fumble at the door.

"Mom!" I cry again. The door is locked. I start to bang on it, screaming her name as she screams mine.

Suddenly, she stops screaming.

"No! Mom! Mommy…"

Tears roll down my face, my banging getting weaker and weaker, until I just stand there, whispering her name.

I turned around quickly, witnessing the monster grasping Swami with its clawed hand. With its other hand, it swiped at his throat. Swami shrieked once more, blood pouring out of him. Magma desperately unleashed Rock Throw after Rock Throw, as Alonzo let out another Solar Beam. Polka rushed to join the fray, uttering a warlike cry.

The monster then dropped my partner to the ground, carelessly. Swami fell like a rag doll, unmoving, a pool of blood starting to collect at his muddy blue body.

"NO!" I screamed. Desperation and anger clawed at my body, but I could only watch as it crushed Magma with one shell shattering blow. Magma stopped moving. It then moved on to Alonzo, but I could only hear one loud crack, what I assume to be the snap of Alonzo's neck. Alonzo's eyes were unseeing. The monster picked up the still shrieking Polka, biting into its belly. Polka's blood went drip drip drip down the monster's claws. He also stopped shrieking, too.

"No, no, no, no, no, no…" my protests soon turn into childlike whispers. I crumple toward the ground, horrified at the scene before me. I cradle the Master Ball in my hand, then drop it on the cave floor. I get to my feet, tears making marks through the grime on my face.

I force myself to take a step forward, toward the monster. And then another. And another. Next thing I knew, I was running, screaming and cursing as it turned around to face me with its soulless yellow reptilian eyes.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRR!" it roared as I came closer and closer. The words I uttered soon became incomprehensible animal sounds.

"I'll show you!" I screamed, images of my fallen comrades flashing through my mind. "I'LL SHOW ALL OF YOU!"

I jumped up at it. I failed to see a freakishly huge clawed hand coming towards me. I failed to notice it hit my skull. What I did succeed in doing, however, was blacking out.

A/N: Well… there that is! I really hope that didn't screw anything up for you all. Also, to note, since I couldn't find anything about Brendan/May's mom, I left the choice open to people whether she is dead or not. Because I have no idea if Brendan has a mom or not in the game. That's why I have to do freaking research all the time. Anyway. Thanks for reading! Review, constructive criticism is appreciated! If you loved it, make sure to Follow and Favorite.
