Now on to the show
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The trio made it to Route 1, right where the lightning bolt was located. The sight they were seeing was astonishing.
Dozens upon dozens of Spearows laid on the ground, all unconscious and had electricity around their bodies. The patch of grass or atleast what used to be grass was now a burnt up, black mess. It was barely recognizable. Smoke crisped above two certain spots which was surprisingly left undamaged.
"Woah, what happened here?" Ane asked, looking at the destruction.
"Pikachu. Pikachu happened." June answered simply.
"Wow, Pikachu did all of this?" Quil said, amazed.
"I always knew he was powerful but to be able to beat all of these..."
"Spearows." June provided.
"Spearows. Granted they were probably level five to ten or something but still." Ane said.
"Come on, let's keep moving." June said, taking the lead again.
If they had stayed any longer, they would've seen the burnt grass disappearing and reappearing as nice, healthy grass.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The brothers walked in relative silence although the silence was broken by Quil. "Hey, do you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?" Ane asked, turning his head towards him.
Quil didn't answered him instead he turned his head around as if searching for something. Then his ears went up, his eyes widening. "There it is, again."
June looked at him before placing his claw on his nonexistent ear. "I hear nothing. You sure, you ain't imagining it?"
"No. I hear it too." Ane said, his ears twitching.
"It sounds like..." Quil began.
"Someone crying for help." Ane finished.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
"Hey! Where are you two going?" June shouted, trying to catch up to the two as they ran on fours.
They didn't answered instead only running faster. June was surprised at their speed as he was always the fastest one. Probably because they're running on fours. He thought before shaking it away as he put more strength into his sprint.
The two ran into an unmarked forest with June close behind them. They ran past several identical trees until finally. "Someone help!" A young girl's voice screamed out.
"Hurry brother. I think it's coming from over there." Ane said, pointing at somewhere beyond the trees.
"I am!" June shouted. "Curse these small stubby legs." He panted, placing a claw on a tree.
"Help!" The voice grew louder and sounded more desperate and in pain. "Stop it! Please! Sister, help!"
"Come on." Quil said.
June removed his claw from the tree, taking a few more breaths before walking towards them. He saw what they were pointing at earlier, a cliff heading onto a twenty feet drop, with a cave on the right. The left had trees stopping with the cliff.
That was when June saw it. A small black fox, cornered by several bird Pokémons, a Pidgeotto and a Fearow. June remembered what they were and alongside were a few pre-evolved forms of each other. They seemed to be in an argument, judging from the pair's angry looks.
"I say we eat the brain, it's always the most juiciest piece of the body." The Fearow said, glaring at the Pidgeotto.
"That's only because of your drill beak. I say we go for the neck, much quicker and quieter." The Pidgeotto said with several of his pre-evolved forms agreeing. The fox whimpered, ears flat on its skull.
"Guys, I have an idea." June whispered, turning towards his brothers. Whispering something into their ears.
They looked at him weirdly when he finished relaying his plan. "You really think that would work?" Ane whispered.
"Let's find out, shall we?"
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
The black fox looked at the bird Pokémon fearfully. "Please don't kill me, I didn't mean it."
The leaders of the two species looked at her. "Ohho, I think you do." The Fearow said, somehow making a grin with its beak.
Is this how I'm gonna die? Alone, weak and without my sister? The fox thought, looking at the two birds who were closing in on her. No. I won't let it be like this. A new surge of courage filled her veins, she stood up, glaring at them. "No. I won't let it!" That surprised the surrounding Pokémon, a dark purple ball of energy appeared in front of her. "Shadow Ball!" She shouted, firing the ball at the two. But the ball instead passed through them harmlessly and hit a tree, decimating it into pieces.
"Is that it?" The Pidgeotto said, unimpressed.
"Yes." She said, fear back in her eyes. She crouched down to the ground. "Just make it quick."
The two birds looked at each other then back to their flock. Almost thinking it over. The key word being almost. "So we agree? Splitsies?" The Pidgeotto said.
The Fearow nodded.
"Then let's do it." His wings glowed a bright white. He pulled back his wings before thrusting them forward and-
*Snap*
He quickly canceled the move and looked around.
"Who's there?" He said, catching something orange in the distance.
No response.
"Come out now or we'll make you."
Still no response.
"Fine then. Don't say we didn't warn you." He turned his gaze towards the Fearow.
The Fearow noticed it and nodded. His beak turning a pale white, a low drill-like sound could be heard. "Drill Peck." He whispered out.
Whatever Pidgeotto saw in the bushes was coming out. It was a Charmander with his arms high in the air, kinda like how a human would do in surrender. "Alright, you got me." Pidgeotto was surprised, there hasn't been any Charmanders around since the incident.
"What is a Charmander doing here?" Pidgeotto said, raising his claws in a threatening manner. Knowing what a well trained Charmander could do.
June gulped down his the little remains of his fear. Alright, you got only one shot at this. Just do it. "Well if you must know, I was just walking around and then I'd heard some screaming and then I decided 'Why not go check it out?' and to my surprise, it seems like a bunch of birds were attacking nothing."
Pidgeotto raised his eyebrow at him. "I know Charmanders don't have great vision like mine but as you can clearly see, there is a Zorua cowering in that little corner. Right over there." Pointing his wing at the now-gone fox.
"Um boss. There's nothing there." One of the Pidgeys said.
"What?" Pidgeotto looked at where he was pointing and saw that Zorua was gone. Then he turned back and the Charmanders had disappeared as well.
"So much for your Keen Eye ability." Fearow said, smugly.
"Shut it." Pidgeotto looked back at the flock. "Everybody, spread out! They couldn't have gotten far." He ordered. The Pidgeys all flew into the sky, all wanting to please their boss. Pidgeotto glared at the unmoving Spearows. "You as well." The Spearows all spreaded out, not wanting to face his rage. He then heard snickering beside him. "And what are you laughing at?"
"Oh, it's just that you're so damn serious about catching that fox." Fearow said. "I mean c'mon. It's just a Zorua, we can find another."
"Another? I don't care about finding another one. Someone has told me to hunt that exact Zorua or I'll be dead."
"And who exactly said that?"
Pidgeotto paled. "I am not allowed to share that."
"Jeez, it must be serious if it can even scare you."
"I-I am not scared." Pidgeotto paused. "I'm freaking terrified."
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Underneath some convenient bushes under several thick trees were the brothers and the fox. "I can't believe that actually work!" Ane said before being shushed by his brothers.
"Shh. They might still be out there." June said.
"Right. Sorry."
June looked at the fox that were currently with them. He had no idea why he had even saved her but he guessed that humans always do crazy things even him as well. Now at closer inspection, he saw that the fox was more of a darker shade of purple. She had a black tuft of fur ending in a red tip, her tail was fluffy and also ended in a red tip. On and above her eyes were red markings, her paws were also red and her eyes were a oceanic blue.
"Thanks for the save." She said.
"Your welcome. But save the thanks for when we actually get out of here alive."
"Got it." She nodded.
"Is the coast clear, Quil?" June asked.
"Eyup. No giant birds anywhere."
June let out a breath of relief. "Good."
"Hey, did you three see my sister anywhere?" The Zorua asked, tilting her head.
"No. We haven't seen a Zoroak anywhere." Ane answered.
She frowned. "My sister's not a Zoroak. She's an Eevee."
"An Eevee?" Ane said, looking at her, confused.
June was confused as well but paid little attention towards it. We are in the Pokémon world after all. "So where is your sister?"
"I don't know. I got separated from her a while ago and met those bird jerks." She gave off an angry look but to them it was as adorable as a kitten's pout.
June had to resist the urge to "Aww." at her. "Do you want some help? I mean we can't just leave a little kid out here in the wild."
"I'm twelve years old." She said in an angry look.
They all looked at each other. "Wow, she's older than me." Quil said.
She smirked.
"Doesn't matter, what matters now is that they don't find you or us since I think we kinda damaged his pride a bit." June said. "So where do you usually go?"
"Anywhere." She said, giggling a bit. "I just love pranking all those silly Pokémon."
"Let's get out of this bush, my legs are starting to cramp." June said, slowly getting out.
June looked around where they were currently at, only a couple of meters away from where they'd encountered the birds. All of them were gone as far as he could tell.
His brothers were the next to get out, Zorua following quickly behind them.
"Zeal! Zeaal! Where are you, little sis?" A female voice said.
Zorua had a happy look on her face. "Sister! Over here!" She shouted however an orange claw stopped her from saying anything more.
"Shh! They might still be here." June said, Zorua-or-Zeal looked at him.
"Sister?" An Eevee, a big one who was nearly the size of him, came out of the shadows of the trees. "Zeal?" She looked around before spotting them. "*Gasp* A Charmander?" She said in surprise before it quickly change to anger. "Let go of my sister, now." She entered a battle stance, her paws digging into the ground.
June looked at her. What is with these Pokémon being surprised about me? I don't see them asking about Quil. Then he looked at Zeal who was making a pleading look at him as if saying "Do what she says." He then looked at his claw and down at her eyes. Oh crap. A cliché misunderstanding.
"Look, Eevee. This is all just a big misunderstanding." Crap, wong words.
Eevee however didn't bought it, her eyes narrowing as she looked at them. "Swift." As soon as those words left her mouth, several star-shaped projectile materialized around her. "You have three seconds to let her go. Three."
June immediately removed his claw away from Zeal's mouth, not wanting to see how painful Pokémon moves can be. "Look we don't want any trouble, alright? But can you please lower down your voice."
"And why should I do that?" Eevee said.
"Sister, please don't hurt them." Zeal said. "They'd actually saved me from Perry and his flock."
Eevee gained a surprised look. "Perry?"
"Yeah!"
Eevee walked closer to them. "What were you thinking? Getting in trouble with them? Are you crazy?" She said, her anger slowly increasing.
"Actually, sister Evie. I didn't prank them, I didn't even do anything and they'd still went after me."
June walked a few steps forward. "And it was because of us, your little sister didn't die."
Evie narrowed her eyes at him. "And do you think that you, a Charmander, is worthy of our trust? Zeal, don't you see? What if he was working with them."
Zeal gave her a deadpan look. "Evie, we're Pokémon, we are not like those humans. Why would we even work with other Pokémon?"
"Because-"
"Boss! We found them!" They all looked up, spotting a Pidgey flying above them.
"Oh crap." Ane said as a powerful gust of wind started blowing on them.
The trees all bend down as Pidgey from before flew over. The Pidgeotto, Perry, he remembered what the two foxes had said. Hovering next to his flock, he gave them a sharp look. "So this is where you've been?"
"Told ya they haven't moved at all." Fearow said, flying next to him.
"Shut it, Rower." Perry looked at them. "Oh and look who we have here, Evie."
"Perry." She growled.
"Fortunately for you, I only need your sister." He looked at his flock. "Would you care to do the honors?"
All of them smirked before their wings all shone. "Whirlwind!" A mighty gust of wind, several times stronger than before, blew on them.
Evie gritted her teeth, fighting against the wind as she stuck her paws into the dirt. The wind blasting her face and messing up her coat. But the combine strength of a dozen Pidgeys was too much for her and she was sent flying away off the cliff. And unfortunately, June who was close to her, was sent flying as well.
"Brother!/Sister!"
