Chapter Three:
Suicune's point of view
Rain clouds gathered as a thunderstorm began. I watched as Carla stared in amazement at the two feline-like beasts before her. Raikou, glaring at Carla with a murderous look, was similar-looking to a tiger. Black, angled stripes covered his bright yellow body, which seemed to be glowing in the rain. A similar violet cape as mine spread on his backside, but was shaped like a rain cloud, gave him a slightly darker look. His two fangs gleamed like daggers, and a dull blue "x" shape concealed part of his mouth. That same color blue made up his lightning-shaped tail (if you could call it that). His ruby eyes glowed with hatred. Entei, similar to a lion, looked slightly more caring, but not for Carla. Two sets of spikes protruded from his deep brown back, along with a silver-colored cape that moved in the same motion of waves. Large, black rings circled his shaggy legs, and his fur spiked out about three inches above the soles of his paws. A pale yellow crown was donned above his crimson eyes, which were surrounded by ruby spikes on the sides. His mouth was partly concealed by a gray ornament, which was shaped very awkwardly.
Raikou and Entei growled fiercely, terrifying Carla. I even shivered a little. "Get away from Suicune, you filthy human!" Raikou commanded with a roar.
"Or else you won't live to see tomorrow!" Entei declared. His shaggy fur rustled in the cold winds, and the rain didn't help him much. It seemed to me that the weather was siding with my friends, who stood poised, ready for battle if need be. "Did you not hear us?" Entei questioned. "Step away from Suicune, now."
Carla nearly jumped when she was addressed, and she scrambled away from me towards her Pokemon. Eruption growled angrily, feeling as insulted as his trainer. He glared at me, and he sent a thought to my head: "So, all this time, you just waited for your friends to arrive and assault us, is that it?! Humph, some legendary you're supposed to be. Calling on your friends for backup is a desperate move, you coward. I can't figure out why Carla is so amazed by you--neither you nor your friends look tough. You have lost my respect, legend!" Although I was in shock, I refused to hurt Eruption. He only wanted to protect his trainer, and was doing an excellent job of it. Unfortunately for him, Raikou and Entei had heard his insults, and in the next moment, Eruption was on the ground, Raikou towering above him.
"How dare you insult Suicune like that?! No one, I mean NO ONE, insults Suicune, got it?" Eruption growled, and delivered a vicious Flamethrower right into his face. Raikou grunted in pain and flew backwards. He glanced at me then winced.
"Ha, that takes care of you," Eruption stated. He smirked. "Now for that shaggy brute."
"What did you call me?" Entei gritted his teeth. He charged at Eruption, and, Entei, being much faster, knocked the disrespectful Pokemon straight into a birch tree. Eruption was dazed, but not out yet. Shakily, he stood up, and delivered a massive Thunderpunch to Entei, who slid backwards. Because of his large amount of health, Entei stood up again, but was overcome by paralysis. Eruption must have been a high level, since his next Thuderpunch knocked out Entei.
Eruption then turned to me. I wasn't scared in the least bit: I had the highest defense and special defense of his opponents. Although Thunderpunch would be super effective, it would take about five hits before I started to worry.
"Ready for yours, you coward?" he questioned haughtily. Carla grew more confident now, and she seemed agitated at me as well. When I calmly shook my head in response to Eruption's question, both looked at me, dumbfounded. "And why not?" Eruption asked, puzzled.
At this point, I calmly walked over to my friends, who were now conscience again. I stood sideways in front of them so as to prevent any possible harm. "Regardless of whether you had hurt my friends or not, I do not wish to fight you. You may not believe me, so if it pleases you, continue your attack. I have one request, though." Eruption eyed me warily. "Please listen-I did not call for my friends to arrive-they just did." I could tell Raikou and Entei were struggling to get up from behind me, but then they gave up and laid down so as to listen to what I was saying. "Furthermore, I am not a coward. I am also not the bravest. I will now let you and Carla decide what to do, now that I have explained myself."
Carla, for the first time in many minutes, spoke up: "How can we believe you? Your friends deliberately attacked us. How can we be sure you didn't call for help? Maybe Typhlosion is right-you are a coward."
Raikou and Entei growled from where they were lying, but I silenced them with a wave of my forepaw. "No, only those who believe they are scared are cowards. You do not frighten me, nor will you ever. Please, let my friends and I go. Had we really tried to attack you, you shall have lost." Carla's Pokemon glanced up, and I sensed their hatred level rising. "No offense to you all, of course. All of you are great and mighty as far as I can tell."
"That's what you say," Lightning remarked. She trotted towards me, the others staring in awe. "You never answered Carla's second question: how can we be sure you didn't call for help?"
"Ask yourself this; was I ever in any danger?"
That seemed to hit the mark. Carla and her Pokemon pondered this, and Carla answered: "Well, I guess you're right. Go on, leave- we won't attack." Eruption looked a little ticked about Carla's comment.
"I thank you for your gratitude," I answered as I encouraged my friends to get up. "Now we shall leave."
Before I could move, however, a shriek sounded through the area. The thunderstorm intensified, and we all gazed up as a giant, bright yellow object flew into sight. Its spiked yellow wings sprouted black spikes on the back of them. Large, clawed talons faced parallel to each other. A long thin beak let out another menacing shriek. It hovered in the air, flapping its dazzling wings in the rain. Thunder roared when it shrieked. Lightning flashed with every flap, of its wings. "W-What is that?" Raikou asked aloud.
"That is the legendary bird of thunder," Eruption answered. "Zapdos."Another shriek echoed around us; Zapdos seemed to want to battle.
"So, the legends thought to be gone forever are standing right here in front of me," a mysterious voice said slowly. "Well, then, I'll have to catch you three like I did my loyal Zapdos here." The lightning bird cawed a reply. "My friend, target Entei with a Thunderbolt!" Zapdos grew to an even brighter yellow, sparks flying everywhere. The rain scattered as a blazingly yellow light streaked towards my friend. Entei, seeming to have recovered well, dodged out of the way, but was still hit on his left rear leg. He grunted quietly, signaling to us that he was not hurt. Raikou had seemed to recover as well, so we stood side-by-side, ready for any attack that might have come next. Zapdos, agitated that its attack had failed, powered up another Thunderbolt, but ceased when its trainer ordered it to stop.
"What, are you afraid to attack?" Raikou taunted.
The stranger shook his head, and then stepped out of the shadows that had concealed him. A sly grin covered his pale face, which was partially hid by a mess of jet-black hair. His attire was made up of a long-sleeve shirt and jeans, the same color as his hair. What haunted me most, however, were his eyes-blood-red eyes. I knew many Pokemon had red eyes, but I didn't think humans could have them.
"A bit shocked as to my appearance? Get used to it; you'll be seeing it all the time, legends. Zapdos! Thunder on our target! You know which one it is!"
Zapdos' eyes closed, and it summoned a brilliant light. As I opened my temporarily blinded eyes, the great light was halfway towards its destination--me. And in the rain, Thunder never misses. I tried to move, but the attack hit me before I could. Overwhelming pain flowed through me as the most powerful attack I'd ever felt hit its mark. Roars of agony escaped from my throat. The attack ceased after several more seconds, and my vision faded.
Typhlosion's point of view:
Suicune fell to the ground. We all stood still, save for Zapdos. The Thunder attack had taken out one of the most defensive Pokemon out there. Raikou and Entei stood still, staring at their fallen friend, their mouths agape. Then, they suddenly seemed to suddenly grow larger and fiercer as they stared up at Zapdos with pure hatred. "How dare you hurt Suicune!" Raikou yelled. Zapdos let out a caw-like laugh--it sounded like pure evil. As the laughter died down, a grin similar to its master's appeared on its face.
The stranger muffled a laugh. "You two legends are next, but first," he pulled a sphere from his belt. "No Pokemon, even a legend, can escape a ball when they're fainted." A yellow sphere coated with two black stripes on the top half shone in his hand. The rest of the ball was white. "Your pal Suicune is now mine." He drew his arm back, and then threw the Ultra Ball. It rushed towards Suicune, who was defenseless. Suddenly, although it was raining, a Fire Spin erupted from Entei's mouth and knocked the ball off course. It plopped on the ground, containing nothing but air. The stranger's grin faded, and his red eyes glanced to each one of us in turn. "Fine, how about I use a Master Ball, then, eh? Nothing can stop it."
Ignoring Carla's protests, I sped towards the trainer in the form of a Quick Attack, knocking the Master Ball out of his hand. Raikou, sensing his cue, sped over and crushed the Master Ball with his sharp claws. "Alright, I've had it. Zapdos! Use Thunder on them all!"
Another brilliant light emerged, more intense than the previous one. It headed straight for the ground, which puzzled me. It then split into three different Thunders: one headed for Carla and my friends, one for Entei and Suicune, and one for Raikou and me.
"Quick!" Tremor shouted. "Get around me."
We gathered around as Tremor crouched down, and the Thunders redirected themselves towards him. This would work out perfectly; Tremor had the Lightningrod ability. Just as I suspected, the Thunders hit him as a blazing blue light, then disappeared as though they had been absorbed. Tremor grinned.
The trainer gritted his teeth and glared at us."I'll be back! I have many more powerful Pokemon!" With that, he darted into the forest. Zapdos glared angrily at us, and then with a flap of its wings, it was gone.
We were about to go our separate ways, Entei carrying Suicune on his back. The rain had stopped once Zapdos had disappeared.
"We are sorry that we attacked you before, right, Raikou?" Entei apologized. Raikou looked the other way.
"We're sorry about not believing you guys, right?" My friends and I nodded in reply.
Just before we parted, Lightning came back from her errand of stalking the stranger.
"You should have heard him," she gasped through pants. Then she started laughing hysterically. "Remember that he said he had more "powerful" Pokemon? All he has is a Caterpie!"
A/N: Sorry to all Caterpie fans out there. I would have done Magikarp, but you can see why that wouldn't work.
