Hello everyone! Hope you've got your popcorn ready, because this is going to be one epic fight! Ready? Let's go!
It was three against one. Ronald knew he had a disadvantage in numbers. But he knew that he had to fight, to protect the little Minccino. The three Staravia were all grouped together, facing Ronald. They were edging around each other, trying to find an opportunity to attack.
Suddenly, the threesome flashed forward. Ronald barely had enough time to dodge to the left. The Staravia flew off in separate directions and tried to surround Ronald.
Ronald was pondering how he shot off that water jet, so he lifted up his left foreleg and thought, 'Shoot!' Just like magic, a stream of water came out of his hoof, just like before. The Staravia he was aiming for easily dodged his attack. "Curses." he muttered under his breath.
One of the Staravia suddenly swooped in from behind and struck Ronald. He cringed in pain, but he managed to do the equivalent of a handstand and used both of his hind legs and shot his powerful streams and sent it flying off. (Not on its own accord, mind.) The other two saw this as an opportunity and tried to get him from the front.
But Ronald was ready for them, he quickly shifted from his forelegs to his hind legs, and then he stomped on the other two Staravia with his forelegs. Now, since they were pinned, he shot out of his forelegs, hitting the two Staravia with critical damage.
He backed off, figuring that he had done them in, when he saw that they were, incredibly, getting back up. One of the Staravia slowly said. "Our boss, urk, would never give up. We won't either." Then, they took off and went high into the air. He knew better than to think that they were giving up, but he couldn't see them anywhere.
Then, heard them simultaneously shout, "Aerial Ace!" He suddenly found himself being attacked from three sides, and this time, he couldn't dodge in time. He felt immense pain as the three attacks landed. He didn't know why, but these attacks hurt more than the strengths of the Staravia, but he couldn't tell what. He knew he was some sort of Water type, but could have two types. Maybe he's also a Fighting type. That would explain why he's taking so much damage. He knelt down in pain, for it was really hard for him to stand.
One of the Staravia guffawed. "That's it, boys! One more hit, and we've got him!" The other two snickered at the prospect of payback. Then, they all simultaneously twisted in the air and cried, "Brave Bird!"
This snapped Ronald back into reality. He got up just as the flames surrounding them changed from red to blue. He thought about his options, then he got a brilliant idea. He fired all four of his water jets into the ground. They propelled him up, like a jet pack, just in time to get him out of the way as the three Staravia collided.
A huge explosion occurred. The power of the Brave Bird combination, plus the recoil that was dealt afterwards, instantly knocked out the three Staravia.
Ronald slowly lowered himself to the ground, before collapsing himself out of exhaustion.
Ronald was near unconsciousness, when an Oran Berry was put in front of him. He looked up an saw that it was the Minccino. He craned his neck over and started to eat the berry. He suddenly understood why his Pokemon always felt better after eating one of these, it tasted great!
He finished off the berry and got up. The Staravia were very hurt, but they were trying to get up as well.
"Come on. We can't let our boss down. We can keep fighting." The Staravia took a step forward and then fell flat on his face. Another Staravia rushed to its side. "We can't fight for our boss if we're dead. Come on. Let's go back." The two Staravia got on either side of the first and lifted it up under its wings. One of them turned back and said. "Don't think we'll forget this. We'll be back." And then, they walked off into the forest.
The Minccino walked up to Ronald. "Thank you for saving me. You have no idea what it means to me." Ronald smiled back. "I just wanted to help." Then he collapsed again, cringing in pain.
Minccino rushed over to Ronald's side. "Oh, no. You're hurt. Let's go back to my village. Your wounds can be treated there. It's not that far off." Ronald was hurting to much to talk, so he only nodded. "Can you stand?" Minccino asked him. He nodded again. He knew he needed medical attention. He got up, and the pain was searing.
Ronald began to stumble along with Minccino, occasionally resting along the way, as they made their way to Minccino's village.
Well, it doesn't look too good for Ronald. Those Staravia hurt him bad. What's going to happen next? Will he make it to the village in time? Why does a Minccino even live in a village? Stay tuned to find out!
