Outcast
"I haven't seen anybody around here. What if I went the wrong way? Ohhh, now I'm lost"
she whined.

Her words echoed through the woods. Nothing changed, exept, was that somebody shouting?

"Who's there?" she asked.

Crystal heard the rustling of leaves. Something jumped out of the bushes and landed in front of her. It was a small orange creature with small claws, and a firey tail.

"Help me, please help me!" the Poke'mon asked.

"Why?" "Their after me!"

The little Poke'mon hid behind her.
"Go away!" he shouted, "It's not my fault!"

Just then a Poke'mon four times her size was staring down at the two of them. It had an orange body, with wings to match. There was fire blazing from it's tail along with huge razor, sharp teeth. The Pok'emon hiding behind her looked similar to that one. Only it was smaller and and had no wings.

"What are you doing with a pathetic Poke'mon like that, Shiloh? Have you finally relized you don't belong with the tribe?" he belowed.

"It isn't my fault, I told you! I can't help it"
he shouted back.

"Me, pathetic?!" Crystal shouted.
"Do not interfere, this does not concern your worthless kind!"

"I'll show you!" Crystal retorted.

Crystal focused her energy on the giant beast.

What are fire types weak against?
Fire? No. Ice? No. Electric? No. Water? Yeah, that's it water! Think like a Vaporeon, like Mystic, how she allways did it. Like she always said, let the water pour out like rain.

"What are ya gonna do, give me a scratch"
he laughed.

"NOW!" Crystal yelled.

Her water gun was full blast, hitting him with everything she'd got. When she had finished, he was drenched. The huge Poke'mon swiped his tail, WHAM! Crystal was hit, hardly able to stand.

Then, everything went black.


Everybody was sleeping quietly in the den.
Everyone exept Dawn, she was waiting outside the cave. She was hoping Crystal would find her way back, somehow. Dusk woke up, noticing Dawn was not asleep. He walked outside and sat next to her.

"I promised you once we woke up we'd look for her immediately, you need to rest,"
he told her.

Dawn looked like she was going to burst out in tears.

"But, what if she comes back when we're resting?" she asked.

"Then I'll stay up and wait, you go to sleep,"
he replied.

Dawn gave him a swift lick on the cheek and headed toward the cave.
Dusk did not leave his post untill morning.


"Hey, are you ok?" a voice asked.

Crystal slowly opened her eyes and saw an orange face staring down at her.

"AAAHHHH!!!" she screamed, Crystal stood up.

"Calm down, don't you remember me? I'm the Poke'mon who was hiding from that Charizard.
I'm sorry you got beaten up because of me,"
he apologize.

"It's ok, really," she assured him,"Why was he chasing you like that?"

"Well ya see, there is a tribe around here known as the Blazar Tribe. It's full of Charmanders ,like me, Charmeleons, and Charizards, like the one we encountered. Once a Charmander gets to be a certain age, it learns its' fire type moves. I'm at that age, even older, but I haven't learned any fire moves."

"There's a tribe around here?" Crystal asked.

"Yeah, they cosider me an outcast now," he looked upset.

Poor thing, I'd hate to be kicked out of my own family. I don't know what to do to cheer him up,
exept...

"Hey, I know! Wanna come with me?"

"With you? You mean you mean you'll be my friend?" he asked.

"Sure, I'll be your friend. My name's Crystal what's yours?"

He replied,"My name is Shiloh."

Crystal asked,"So Shiloh, do you know what kind of berries these are and where I can find them?"
She showed him the the berries they were round and black, blue, and purple striped berries.

"Where did you find those berries?!" he shouted.

Crystal jumped, "I just found them on a tree!"

"These berries are very rare, we don't have any more in the whole forest. They're found in the Sappiria Clearing. It's difficult to get there,
why do you want some anyway?" he replied.

"I need to get them for someone, a mightyena, or he'll hurt me or my family."

"The only Mightyena in these woods would be Razor," he replied.

"Then I'm gonna have to travel to the Sappiria Clearing. Are ya with me?" she asked him.

"Are you kidding? That's what friends are for!"
