So...over the past few days we've been waiting for Ginger's and...ugh...Kissy's eggs to hatch. Crow used to take the eggs out to keep them warm, but then a bunch of Hostile Pokémon showed up and we had to bring them back inside...ugh...
So it hasn't been easy inside the Crystal Cave. The gunman's children started playing literally outside the cave, making it even harder for us to hunt. And Kissy started to attack me while I'm sleeping.
So I got a black eye and a few cuts on me, but otherwise, I'm great.
"We're back" Ginger said, Fluffy and Bramble behind her, blood on all of them. Only Ginger had a skinny Sneasel in her jaws.
"Are you guys okay?!" Crow asked, licking her brother's blood-crusted shoulder.
"Ginger got the worst of it" Bramble commented, "Look".
I looked, and sure enough, Ginger had fresh blood rolling down her face. Also, bites and scratches were all over her.
"I twisted my ankle too" Ginger said, wincing, "I'll still hunt".
"You'll do no such thing" Edward, her mate, said, "You need to take it easy for a while".
"Urgh, fine" Ginger said with a smirk, "I'll-
"HELP!" Kissy roared, "HELP!".
"What is it?" Fluffy asked, running to her.
"So what happened?" I asked, not to Kissy(Obviously...), but to Ginger.
"The Hostile Pokemon noticed we had caught prey on 'their territory' and attacked us" Ginger muttered, "We originally had two Sneasel and a Delibird, but we had to lighten the load to make it out alive. Sorry, I know this won't be enough for all of us, but I'm sure you guys can hunt by yourselves".
"Uh...Picasso?" Fluffy said nervously, "Kissy won't tell me what's wrong unless you come over here".
"Tell her she can drop dead" I replied. "JUST COME OVER HERE" Fluffy growled.
"No, leave me alone" I replied with a flick of my tail.
Suddenly, I felt Fluffy's jaws bite down on my tail in a attempt to drag me. I lit myself on fire and slammed into Fluffy with Flame Charge. Fluffy jumped over me and tried to use Night Slash, but I jumped over him and used Flying Press, sending him flying across the Crystal Cave.
I walked away.
"NOOOO! COME BACK HERE! I HAVE A THORN IN MY PAW, YOU JERK!" Kissy roared.
"Finally!" Fluffy said with relief, "Now I can help you".
"NO" Kissy growled, "My mate has to get it out".
"Oh, which one?" I sneered, "The big cat coward, Leo? Or the arrogant Lucario, Furryfists? Is there any I'm missing?"
"NO! YOU!" Kissy snapped.
"Ginger, I'll gladly go on a hunting patrol" I said, ignoring the rat in pink ribbons behind me.
"Great" Ginger purred, "Take Crow with you, she seems...uncomfortable in here".
"Gee, I wonder why" I said over Kissy's screaming. I noticed Crow padded towards me.
"Let's go" Crow said before taking off.
We continued through the snow til Crow suddenly pushed me into the snow.
"Hey! What-"Shush! It's the Hostile Pokemon!" Crow growled.
I looked, a male and female Liepard were right in front of us. I noticed the gunman's children running to where they were at.
The male Liepard took off, but the female Liepard started purring against the children, letting them yank her tail and stick their fingers in her ears.
"Why is she letting them do that to her?" Crow whispered.
Before I could respond, the Male Liepard jumped on one of the children, his claws sinking into the child's shoulders. Two Zorua, an Espeon, and a Tyranitar, were behind him, growling. They must be his back-up.
The two Zorua stripped all the children of everything: clothes, backpacks, you name it.
After the two Zorua took everything and left. The other Pokemon surrounded the children in a circle, except for the one that was injured by the male Liepard.
The Espeon scored his claws across the child's throat, killing him.
The other children started screaming as the child's blood flooded the snow.
BAM!
I looked in shock as the gunman appeared. The bullet he shot barely passed the Espeon's ear.
Before the gunman could reload, the Espeon's eyes glowed and so did the man's body.
I realized it was the Espeon's psychic power keeping the gunman frozen as the Tyranitar and the two Liepard started killing all the children in the circle.
Then the Espeon leaped at the gunman and tore his throat.
The Espeon landed perfectly with a smirk on his face as the gunman fell.
All of them were dead.
"Orion, all the children have been killed" the male Liepard said to the Espeon.
"Good" Orion, the Espeon, purred, "Let's go".
As soon as they left, me and Crow dashed out of there and made a run for it.
"That was...AMAZING!" Crow purred as we were running, "They killed them with such perfection, like it was a sport!".
Crow's comment made me sick to my stomach, I was a human once.
And I still am.
Then we noticed Ginger blocking the entrance to the Crystal Cave.
"Hey, what gives?" I asked. Wait, was Ginger...crying?
"The eggs...have hatched. But you two aren't safe..." Ginger cried, "You must leave, Kissy's out of control".
"Wait...how come my brother is still in there then?" Crow asked, ears flattened.
"Kissy killed him" Ginger wailed, "She blamed him for you not listening to her, Picasso. So she ripped him apart while he was still alive"
...
"I'LL KILL HER!" Crow wailed in rage, "I'LL KILL HER FOR GIVING MY BROTHER SUCH A SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH!".
"What are the names of the hatched newborns?" I asked.
"My daughters are Fruit and Fairy. Kissy's sons are Owl and Rabbit, and her daughter is Chestnut" Ginger replied, the she pulled me into her dragon-winged arms, "Do not, and I mean NEVER, forget what I've taught you, got that?".
"Of course, I wouldn't have survived in this world without you" I promised.
"Bye...Ginger" Crow said between crying.
As we walked, I put my tail on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, that you lost both your brother and sister" I said, "I don't know how you feel, but I'll be here to comfort you".
"Thanks" Crow muttered, her head and tail still pointing down.
"Intruders!"
Oh no...
Before we could move, the same two Liepard and several other Pokemon surrounded us.
"You're coming with us" the female Liepard snarled.
We were leaded to a cave that gave me a blast of heat as soon as I was shoved in.
Then I saw him.
He made a huge leap off a cliff in the cave and charged at me till our noses were barely touching.
It was Leo, the Pyroar.
"What did you call me earlier? The big cat coward?" Leo growled, baring his yellow teeth.
