Kevin lowered the binoculars slowly, then handed them back to Tracy.
"Tracy," He said, nearly stuttering. "Look. That is no cloud."
"Huh?" Tracy wondered, then looked at the cloud through the binoculars.
"Aahh!" Tracy jumped and lost his balance for a moment, stepping back to catch himself. "That cloud is entirely made up of Fearow!"
"What?!?" Ash and Misty said in surprise.
"Never before in my life in and out of these woods have I ever seen such number," Kevin said. Cevan's sense was yelling "Danger!" it was yelling so loud, it was causing an echo within him.
No, wait… that's a second danger! But why is it coming from the Fearow? Cevan wondered. Kevin tried to trace the sense, but to no avail. It seemed to only come from the group itself, not from each Fearow.
:This isn't right,: Kevin thought. The Fearow were now nearly covering the sky over the path. To Kevin, at the speed they were moving, they would be on top of them in a minute.
"Time to make a hasty retreat," Kevin said. That was the last thing Ash, Tracy, and Misty heard before he tore down the path away from the Fearow. Ash, Tracy, and Misty stood looking at the stranger dashing off, then looked back at the Fearow.
"Feeearr!" Some of the Fearow screeched as drew closer.
"Let's get out of here!" Tracy yelled, and the three of them followed Kevin's example. However, they found Kevin getting further and further away, and the Fearow getting closer and closer.
"Hey, wait!" Tracy yelled to the stranger. He paid no heed to them. Instead, Kevin finally dashed out of line of sight.
As soon as Kevin noticed that he couldn't see the three anymore, Kevin leaped into the dense forest and changed disguises to Scyther. He then began running back through the overgrowth to help the three out.
Panicked, did you? Cevan said snidely. I thought you were the greatest of trainers.
It was actually the first time Kevin had ever panicked in his whole life. He had ran away from many wild Pokémon, but it was usually because he knew that his Pokémon didn't stand a chance against them. This time, now that he can battle as a Pokémon himself, Kevin usually kept a cool head. It was more out of puzzlement, though, than out of fear for his panicking.
:Well,: Kevin practically yelled in his mind, :can you explain this sudden flux of Fearow?:
Well, I was confused myself… Wait a minute, why are we going back? Cevan asked.
:To save Ash and group.:
What's this? Kevin, the high-and-mighty trainer Pokémon, has a soft spot? Cevan asked jokingly.
Actually, I really had no clue why I was going back to save them. Meanwhile, the Fearow were practically breathing down the three's necks.
"Pikachu! Use your Thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.
Pikachu spun around and its cheeks began to spark. "Pika-chuuUU!" he yelled, and a bright yellow light shot out and hit the group of Fearow.
"Yes!" Ash said in triumph. However, his mood changed when the Fearow, after being hit with the Thunderbolt, regained their lost altitude and continued pursuit. "Huh?" He exclaimed. "Didn't it even harm them?"
Kevin, who saw the attack, felt the second "danger" mark inside again. He blinked.
"Huh?" Kevin said. For some reason, the blinking cleared his vision, and he now saw a very soft pink glow appear in the Fearows' eyes.
Kevin, however, had no time to think, as Ash, Misty, and Tracy ran past him.
"We'll never make it!" Tracy yelled, looking back.
The next actions were almost instantaneous. Ash slipped on a loose rock, and caused the three of them, as well as Pikachu, to crash on the ground. Kevin leaped out and now found himself now face to face with the flock of angered Fearow. Harnessing the Metronome attack, Kevin's eyes flashed a bright yellow. The blades mimicked the flash, surprising Kevin, but not distracting him from his Thunderbolt attack.
Yelling a war cry, Kevin unleashed from his whole body, as well as the blades, the most fearsome and devastating Thunderbolt attack that anyone had ever seen. Kevin, who's eyes were somewhat shielded by the flash, still had to close his eyes to keep himself from being blinded by his own attack, as electricity lanced its way from him to the Fearow and back, in a continuous, recharging cycle. After a tenth round trip of the Thunderbolt, the attack was finished, withdrawn back into him, and Kevin could finally open his eyes.
The Fearow couldn't take it anymore. After recovering from some slight paralysis, they scattered and dispersed to different areas of the woods. Taking only a moment to look back at the group which he had just rescued, which had their eyes shielded with their arms from the brightness of the attack and were now uncovering their eyes, he leaped back into the cover of the forest.
Rubbing his eyes, Ash looked around. "What was that?" he said, helping the others back to their feet.
"It certainly wasn't Pikachu," Misty said. "And no way that attack could've been Solarbeam! Last time I saw such an attack, it wasn't that bright."
"From what I heard," Tracy concluded, "it sounded like a Scyther! Didn't you hear its call?"
"But there's no way a Scyther could do Thunderbolt! How could it be one?" Misty asked.
Kevin left them behind as he escaped through the woods. He knew they would have no idea as to what it was. Better leave it at that, he thought.
So, Cevan said in triumph, Who is the champion?
Well, not I, Kevin thought back. At least, as a Pokémon. I think I know what name to use safely without detection. I'm going to need it.
Yeah? And what's that? Cevan asked.
Call me Cevan. Cevan Killbane.
"Huh?" Tracy wondered, then looked at the cloud through the binoculars.
