Beach Cave Pit, no particular POV

The Zubat and Koffing duo end up hovering out to a small peninsula. It's a small bit of sand jutting out, with waves gently lapping at the shore. There are a few rusty brown rocks strewn about. The poisonous pair look around.

"Heh heh. Looks like we lost them, Koff."

"Whoa-ho-ho! I'd say so. Figures the little bunny wouldn't have the spine to come and get it. We might have to be careful, though."

"What makes you say that?"

"Call it a hunch. You know what Riolu are like."

"Oh. Right. What was that Riolu doing on the beach anyways?"

"Why would I know?"

Beach Cave Pit, Riolu's POV

As the Buneary and I descend the staircase, we can hear the sound of a conversation. It's indeed the Zubat and Koffing.

"Maybe he's a loser. Loner. Whatever."

"Eh. You'd think an outcast would look filthier."

The Buneary looks at me. The look on her face is one that says we'll discuss it later. I shrug, a bit perplexed. We go and hide behind a rock, and continue observing the thieves.

"Remind me how we even got caught up in this mess?"

"We swiped something off the coward, remember?"

"Oh, yeah! That little treasure of hers. Wonder how much we could sell it for."

I look over at the Buneary again. She looks about fit to explode with rage, but keeps her head cool. She looks at me before stepping out from behind the rock.

"Hey!"

The Koffing and Zubat turn to look at her.

"Heh heh heh… looks like the little Buneary had the guts to face us after all. And I'm assuming by the way you shouted, your little knight in shining armor came with you."

I step out behind the rock, confirming the Zubat's suspicions.

"Whoa-ho! You really care about this little trinket, don't you?"

The Zubat looks at his partner.

"Heh. Sounds like all the more reason not to give it back."

The Buneary starts quivering, but keeps it together.

"G… Give it back. I'm warning you…"

The Zubat laughs.

"Heh-he-he! Heh! Heh! Oh… my sides… that's a good one. You're warning me? You? That's… that's rich!"

He moves right up in the Buneary's face.

"What do you think you're gonna do, bunny?"

The Buneary doesn't move. Her feet are still shaking.

"Heh! All that bravado is gone! I'm not even sure you had any to begin with, but if you did…"

The shaking continues.

"Now you listen, and you listen good, little bunny. You got nothing to warn me about. Nothing you can do to me."

The Buneary stops shaking completely. Whether that's good or bad is beyond me.

"Do you know why you can't do anything to me?"

The Buneary rolls up her ears.

"It's because you're nothing more than a cowardly. Scared. Helpless. Bu-"

The Zubat is cut off by a loud THWACK. The Buneary had extended her ears into him at full force.

After Zubat gets up, Koffing says something.

"Whoa! The little bunny has some fight in her! Well… Let's see how far that fight takes you…"
