We took the rock outside, looking around for someone to help us. Fortunately, Winston had been walking around the tent with a mused look on his face, and noticed us. He saw our lost and scared faces, and waddled over to us.

"What's wrong, my feral friends?" He laughed, patting me on the head, "Today is a good day! The sky is blue, the clouds are floating...and nothing is going wrong in the Tribe of happiness!"

"Actually, there is something wrong." Seedeth coughed, "You and the Ampharos had better sort it out." She pointed to the rock, and put her arm around me tightly. "This was a present. From the Golem and Ekans who assaulted Shi the sneasel. We want our problem solved."

"I'll go get my pretty little tribe master then!" Winston laughed, "He knows how to solve everything...even how to fill my damaged heart!" He then skipped off merrily. Seedeth gave me a grossed out look, and hugged me tight.

"If I ever act like that," She started, "I would like to die choking on your cum."

"I would never kill you," I stated, "Even if you ended up as awful as that. Love is seeing past flaws."

"I...I knew that!" Seedeth blushed, "I was just testing you."

A few minutes of silence was suddenly filled with a cheering crowd. Curious, I looked over to see Rosheith bowing in front of an endless crowd of happy looking pokemon. The crowd followed him as he skipped towards us, and looked at the rock with a frown on his face. The crowd grew silent as he looked us in the eye. I felt a bad feeling fill my stomach, his facial expression was not serious at all. He looked more playful than anything, his eyes dancing like Kirlia on a moonlit path. He rose his fist, which was now glowing blue, and smashed the rock into tiny pieces with his solid arm.

"Problem solved." He said. The crowd all cheered, while Seedeth and I looked at the dippy pokemon with disbelief.

"The problem isn't the bloody rock!" Seedeth screamed, "Didn't you read the note on it? The Golem and Ekans want us dead!"

"Death does not exist in the tribe of happiness." Rosheith looked at us sternly, "It is a place of happiness. Now get on with your lives."

The crowd cheered again at this, and we looked at each other with torn faces as the ampharos and the crowd left us alone.

"W...what will we do now?" I stammered, grabbing Seedeth's purple arm. "They...are gonna kill us."

"We fight them if they try." Seedeth said grimly, "Maybe our friends will help us. Maybe we should see them."

"Good idea, why don't we see where Rick is?" I looked at the floor, "He'd know what to do...and he does have an advantage over Goleta."

"Right, come on then." The aipom let go of my wing, and started looking around the tents. I drifted behind her, feeling more ghost like than normal. I was scared, I had no moves that could properly take down such a pokemon, and Seedeth only knew brick break. I was close to tears when we finally found the squirtle wrapped around a silky furred Buneary. The main odd thing about this Buneary was that the fur on her lower body and ears was pink, instead of tan. We walked over to them when the Buneary looked over to us with a really sweet smile. It was so sweet, it may have made me sick.

"Are these those...friends you have been talking about?" She asked Rick in a voice that was sweeter than honey, or pecha berries. She gave Seedeth a little grin, and looked all over Seedeth's body. Seedeth blushed, and wagged her tail happily, not noticing the slightly annoyed look on Rick's face.

"Sweetie, these are Ruffled..." He pointed at me, "And Seedeth..." He pointed at Seedeth.

"Aha!" The Buneary cried, shaking both of our arms (or wings in my case) and kissing us both on the cheeks. "I am Sweetie!" She cried, shaking her butt a little in Rick's face as she said her name.

"So, you have a human name, hm?" I tilted my head while Seedeth checked out the Buneary.

"We both where egg raised, after all." Rick coughed. "Humans like giving names to the creatures they are about to abandon in five seconds flat." He grinned a little, and stroked the fluff that was on the bottom half of Sweetie's body. She giggled, and pushed his arms off.

"Not now, Ricky." She giggled, "Later."

"Anyway," Seedeth started, "We need your help, guys."

"What with?" Sweetie asked, shaking her butt again.

"We received a nice message off some people saying that we are gonna die, basically." I coughed, "We came to you, Rick, because one of them is a Golem."

"And what about me?" Sweetie grinned, "I can kick ass too, I'm not just a pretty face!"

To prove this, she jumped in the air while sticking her foot out. Rick gave a sigh, ran over to where she was landing, and hid in his shell just before the jump kick attack could hit one of his arms. The Squirtle and Buneary skidded against the grass, causing the grass to peel away to show the horrid damp mud underneath. Rick popped out of his shell, looking over to the Buneary who had tackled him down with a big smile.

"You can help too." Seedeth said, seeming to be quite surprised by the pokemon's attack, "Fighting type moves are very good against rock types, and Goleta is our main problem."

"Yes..." I said, slightly saddened at how Seedeth never gave me that look. "But we have to watch out for the Ekans...so who is good against poison types?"

"Ground moves, and psychic." Seedeth answered my question confidently, "But we are good enough for that weak old thing..." She then wrapped her arm around me and hugged me tight.

"Alright...so where do we go fight those motherfuckers?" Rick asked, clenching his fists.

"They will probably want to ambush us...so we have to wait."

"Wait a minute...doesn't that mean we have to stay with you guys...the whole time?" Sweetie asked curiously, looking at the both of us. We looked back at each other, and our faces fell.

"I suppose so..." Seedeth started.

"You don't have to help if you don't want to." I added, "We just don't want to die."

"We are going to help you, Ruffled." Rick smiled at me. "That's what friends do...but what if Sweetie and I...want to...you know?"

"If you want to fuck, you can go in the tent." Seedeth nodded, "We will stay outside and occupy ourselves."

"Or we could all occupy each other..." Sweetie grinned, rubbing Rick's shell.

"Don't be silly, Sweetie." Rick purred, scratching the Buneary's ear. "I am the only pokemon for you, and vice-versa."

"Right...right..." Sweetie seemed to be disappointed for a second, but her face rose again. "Oh well!" She laughed, jumping around. "Come on, let's go for that walk we where talking about!"

"Walk?" I asked.

"We where going to go to a hot spring..." Rick started.

"Ooo, where?" Seedeth asked, grinning at me.

"You can come with us..." Sweetie smiled, "There are many pools with many pokemon...lots of fun!"

"Alright, come on!" Seedeth said, running up to Rick and putting her arm around both him and Sweetie, "Let's go!"

The gang started skipping off without me. For a second I felt like leaving them there, but I knew that our separation would spell our doom like it nearly did with me last time. I gave a sigh, and started walking over to them.

I started walking through the leaf covered forest with a pained expression on my face. I knew that Seedeth had her eyes on that Buneary, and Sweetie's playful nature hadn't helped matters. I carried on walking until I tripped over a tree root. Cursing, I brushed myself down, and looked around. The trees where giant compared to my small statue, and where all stacked together like sardines. Sunlight was able to get through gaps between the tree's branches, making plant life below the trees a chance of survival. I heard a cough, and noticed two red eyes staring at me.

"We have much to talk about..." Jason started, "And I want to help you."
