Red and Yellow walked through the forest. "Red what do you think I should catch?" Yellow asked Red. "Anything you want that lives around here." Red said. "I want a Pikachu like you have." She told him. She looked around. She saw a Pikachu sitting in a tree. Or was it? It was in the tree yes but was lying in the tree unconscious. She got closer and saw it was bleeding and had scratches and burns. "Red it's injured!" She said. She ran and started climbing the tree without thinking. A tree branch that she stepped on it broke. She slipped and almost fell but a hand swiftly grabbed her hand. Ignis was standing on a branch. He had appeared out of nowhere and stopped her from falling. What's he doing here? Red thought. Ignis pulled Yellow up to the branch and she collected the Pikachu. She jumped down and Red caught her. "We won't make it to the Pokemon Center in time! There is a cabin in the forest with herbs and stuff not far from here. We can heal it up enough to survive then take it to the Center. This way!" Ignis said. They started running toward where Ignis suggested. While running the Pikachu opened it's eyes weakly at Yellow. "Don't worry Pikachu, we'll take good care of you. I promise." Yellow said to it. The Pikachu closed it's eyes. "Hurry!" Yellow said. The cabin was in sight. They ran in and Yellow placed the Pikachu on a bed in one of the rooms. She just realized how cold it was. She covered its body in a blanket. "I'll prepare the herbs. Just keep it company." Ignis said. He ran into the kitchen to make the medicine. Yellow looked at the Pikachu. "It is in so much pain. I don't know how but I can feel it's pain. Who would do such a thing?" She said to Red. She started to cry. She hugged Red. "It doesn't deserve this!" She sobbed into his shoulder. "I know. I know." Red said gently holding Yellow tight. "It'll live. I'll make sure of it." Red said. Yellow stopped crying and sniffed. "Thanks Red. I want to be with this Pikachu." She said. "One moment. Let me give it this herbal medicine." Ignis said. He gave the medicine to the Pikachu. "There you go. I'll leave you with the Pikachu." Ignis said. He walked outside. "Yellow, I'm going to talk to Ignis. I'll be right back I promise." Red said. He walked out and went over to Ignis. He swelled with anger. "What the hell did you do to that Pikachu!? How was it that you were there huh!?" Red shouted. Ignis frowned. "Calm down Red. I see trusting me is difficult. Good. If you want to know I can answer both. One. I didn't do anything to it. Two. I sensed a Pokemon in pain and found it just after you did. I saw Yellow climbing and ran to the tree ready to assist as needed. As she broke the branch I caught her hand so she wouldn't fall and get hurt." Ignis said. "Then who did that to it huh!?" Red shouted again. "I believe it would be Team Rocket. They are the reason I'm here. To warn you. You and Yellow must be careful when you reach Mt. Moon. I'm sorry that I angered you." Ignis said. Red sighed. "I'm sorry Ignis. It's just that well, hearing Yellow tell me that she feels the Pokemon's Pain made me angry. She shouldn't have to feel pain because the Pokemon shouldn't have to feel pain. She's the only friend I have other than Blue who is too much of an ass. I grew up in Pallet so I didn't have many friends. It was too small of a town. Not many lived there. Yeah I went to school but it was a private school for reasons. I never had a real friend. So even though I don't feel her pain I feel it. Know what I mean?" Red asked. "Yes actually I do. I feel everyone's pain Red. One way or another. I forgive you. This hasn't been the first time I haven't been trusted. I am a mysterious man I say. Most people would agree." Ignis said with a sad smile. They walked in and Yellow was just watching the Pikachu. It was breathing noticeably now. Ignis pulled in a few chairs so Yellow wasn't on the floor. "So Yellow did you know about this cabin?" Red asked her. She shook her head. "No. My Uncle won't let me go this deep into the forest normally." She said. "Do you know who this cabin belonged to Yellow?" Ignis asked. "No. Like I said I've never been this far in." She replied. Ignis looked at her not believing it. "It belonged to your Parents." He said. "Yes, I knew your parents." He said looking at both Red and Yellow's faces of shock. "You, You knew Mom and Dad?" She asked. Ignis nodded. "Yes. Such a fine young couple. So sad to have died as young as they. Interestingly enough your parents went to school with Red's parents and your Uncle. They were best friends." Ignis said. "Your Uncle was your Mother's Brother and Both of your Dad's friend. Both of your Mom's were friends too. Your Uncle introduced them and they became a friend group. I was there. I'll tell you the truth. I'm not who I look. I can change my age. I can't tell you everything. I'm not even supposed to tell you this. My superiors forbid. But you need to know that I knew your parents. I want you to view me as a peer but if you have questions about your parents if I'm allowed to answer them, I will. I promise. I don't care if you don't believe my age changing abilities, so be it." Ignis said. Red looked at him wondering if he was crazy. Red spoke slowly. "I think we can trust you. But if you turn against us I will kick your ass. Understand?" Ignis laughed. "I think we can settle for that." He said. Red wanted to ask things about his Dad but couldn't think what to ask. "Thanks Ignis." Yellow said. She turned to the Pikachu. Poor thing. She thought as she began to pet it. "Red can you come with me?" Ignis asked. Red followed him into the kitchen. "Yeah?" He asked. "I doubt that Pikachu will make it. I know she thinks otherwise but it would take powerful healing abilities to keep it alive." Ignis said. "Red it's not breathing!" Yellow cried from the bedroom. Red and Ignis sprinted in. Ignis checked the pulse. There was nothing. "No pulse. I'm sorry." Ignis said. Yellow broke into tears. "No! It can't die. It can't." She said sobbing. Red ran to her and hugged her. Ignis had a look of rage on his face for a split second then it died. "We must honor the ones we lose. Yellow, if you think you can handle it, you can carry the Pikachu to the lake. There we can bury it." Ignis said. Yellow walked up to the Pikachu sniffling. She picked it up. If I could take part of my health and transfer it to the Pikachu I would. She thought. She closed her eyes thinking of how much she hated Team Rocket. She knew they did it without being told. She got so angry she felt rage flow through her. Her hands began to glow. She felt energy leaving her. She saw the Pikachu open it's eyes. The Pikachu jumped up and ran around her. "Pika!" It said. She smiled. The last thing she heard was "Yellow are you alright?" then everything went black.
