It's been two weeks since I last saw May. I miss her. I miss Mudkip and Ralts and Shroomish. Mommy taught us how to fight. I fought a wild Weedleyesterday, and I leveled up. I heard that May beat her first trainer a week ago. She also beat her first gym two days ago. I really want her to and Daddy took us outside to teach us a few new moves.

"Okay PawPrint, remember. Deep breath, try to make your body really cold, and blow," she said. I watched my brother take a deep breath in, close his eyes, and blow a few snowflakes out of his mouth. We were trying to learn ice beam.

"You're almost there," Daddy said, trying to teach Princess, thunderbolt. Just then, I heard barking from the neighbors' side of the fence. Mommy and Daddy noticed the barking and kept trying to teach us moves. Then, a loud snap of metal came from the other side of the fence, and whatever was making the barking jumped over. The thing was a big black dog. It had an orange face and pointed tail. Big long grey horns curled from its head, and around its neck was the remains of a metal chain that once kept it from intruding. It was a Houndoom. Mommy picked up PawPrint and took him inside quickly. Daddy charged at the Houndoom, sparks flying from his tail signifying he was going to use charge beam. I ran, trying to get away. Mommy came back out, and took Princess inside. I watched Daddy collide with the Houndoom, sending shock waves at him. The Houndoom's mouth glowed with red flames. I knew that meant fire fang. I watched in horror as the Houndoom bit Daddy's leg. Daddy struggled to get out of the Houndoom's jaws. When he did, I watched him charge at the Houndoom. He was about to use the move double edge, when the Houndoom picked him up with his teeth, and used rock smash. He threw Daddy to the ground, hard. Daddy didn't get back up, he just lay there, limp. I shook with terror as the Houndoom slowly inched towards me. I took off running, trying to find a way out. The Houndoom chased after me, barking all the while. I noticed a small hole in the corner of the fence. I dashed to it and ducked through it. The Houndoom tried to jump over, but the fence was a bit taller on this side, and it kept the Houndoom away. Then I heard a voice from the other side.

"A Buneary must have gotten in through the fence," I heard May's mom say.

"Houndoom never liked those things, I guess he jumped over to chase it," I heard the neighbor reply. I was about to go back through the fence, when something blocked the hole.

"I've been meaning to get the fence fixed, I'll put a flower pot here so the Bunearys won't come in again," I heard May's mom say. I panicked and pawed at the flower pot. Letting out a cry for help. Nothing. I tried and tried again to get them to hear me, but my cry was so quiet, that I could barely hear myself. Minutes turned into hours. Soon, I heard Mommy calling for me. I tried to call back, but she couldn't hear me. She left. It started to get dark as I sat there, waiting. Soon, darkness swept the sky and I could barely see. Thunder rumbled in the distance, followed by cold rain. I sat there in the pouring rain. I was cold, scared, and hungry. I lay down and eventually started crying. Soon, sleep found me.
