I almost broke down on the spot when I saw what, who, had blocked the attack. Laying on the sand with three shallow cuts on his stomach was Synth! I stood up and raced over to him.
"Synth…?" I whispered hesitantly, offering him my hand.
"Hello…" he chuckled before accepting my help. When he was firmly on his feet, he stepped protectively in front of me, ignoring the shallow gashes on his stomach.
"The chicken's back, eh? No matter. It'll be more convenient to take you both out at once…" Scar trailed off, running at us again with glowing wings. Synth used Screech, halting the large bird in his steps as he clutched at his head. Synth took this time to run at him with blinding speed, using Quick Attack. When he was close enough, however, he used Absorb… at least I thought it was Absorb… The attack was much stronger, and I soon realized it was Mega Drain. Scar soon recovered, however, and used Drill Peck on Synth's chest, throwing him back.
"No!" I exclaimed without realizing, and began using Flamethrower repeatedly, turning the Staraptor into littler less than a living burnt chicken. Synth's eyes opened a bit, and his breathing was ragged. I didn't notice as Scar ran toward me again, his Drill Peck charging up, so I was thrown back by the force. Pain rippled through my chest, where I was hit, and I coughed a bit, worsening the sting.
Looking up, I noticed that Synth was once again in front of me. He was still at a huge disadvantage, despite Scar's weakened state.
They battled for around an hour, the sky already turning navy blue. Synth was thrown back again, hitting a rock jutting out from the sand. Scar came running at me then from across the beach, and I struggled to my feet. When he was around five feet away, however, he was knocked to the side by Synth's Quick Attack.
"This is getting annoying…" Scar grumbled before flapping his wings and flying away. I stumbled toward Synth, taking his hand.
"How'd you get back?" I gasped skeptically. He shrugged and chuckled.
"My aunt isn't exactly the most attentive Pokemon in the world…" he muttered, taking me in for a hug.
"I missed you…" I whispered.
"I missed you too…" he muttered back.
"Doesn't that hurt?" I asked, referring to the cuts on his stomach.
"It'll heal…" he said dismissively . "Should we go back to the Guild?" he asked.
"Is it safe for you to?" When I received a questioning glance, I hastened to explain. "I mean, everyone else thinks you're somewhere in Jhoto…" I trailed off.
"Oh… I'll just tell them they let me come back…" he mumbled lamely.
"Synth…" I sighed, hugging him closer.

We stayed on the beach for around an hour more, holding each other close. When the sky was navy blue, I knew it was time to leave.
"We need to go back…" I said reluctantly. Synth sighed and nodded, and we made our way back home.

A/N: Now I think that was 'Aww' worthy! :D Sorry it's so short, but Synth makes up for it, right?! :3 Um… My grandma's back in the hospital… I don't really think she'll come back out… Pray for her? Uh, please review you guys!
Pixii out!
