"That one?"

"A little baby-face for me. How about the one beside him?"

"Oooh, those abs! I can see them through his shirt! Yes!" Amy squealed quietly as we walked side by side, giggling away as we wormed our way through the crowd with the guys behind us.

"See that guy over there? Red hair, black shirt? That ass, Skye, I tell you. That ass."

"Best ass in Johto." I agreed. Thank goodness we are both wearing shades. It helps us to ogle at guys without getting caught out in public.

"Then there's the guy over by the gate. See those muscular arms? I can touch those the entire day." Amy sighed dreamily, leaning her head to rest on my shoulder in a dramatic manner.

"Blonde dude at our ten o'clock." I nudged her subtly with my elbow before leaning my head down to whisper in Amy's ear. "He's hot."

Amy tried her best to be subtle as we purposely slowed down our pace so that we can observe our eye candy for a little longer. The moment we are out of earshot, she immediately gave another quiet squeal.

"He's hot!"

"I told you so. I have good taste."

"When I was told that we were going on a team outing, I wasn't expecting to play fucking babysitter to you two shitheads while you are ogling at guys." Adam's nasty voice sounded right behind us, but the two of us are used to it by this point.

"Oh, shush, Adam boy." Amy cut him off with a wave of her hand. "Why? Jealous that we are not ogling at you instead?"

"Oh hell no." Adam denied all accusations immediately. "But if the whole point of this 'team outing' is for you two to ogle at guys, then I'm going home right now."

"Lighten up a little, will you?" Rufus bumped his shoulder into Adam's light-heartedly. "It's not often that we get to take a break and do whatever we want. Let them ogle at whoever they want to. Hey, ladies, what about me? Am I good looking enough to pass your eye candy test?"

"Sorry, Rufus, but you get a consolation prize at most." Amy flatly turned Rufus down with a hand. "No offense."

"Ah, damn. Was I even close?"

"Nope." I replied with a cheeky grin before Amy and I burst out laughing again.

"Where's Jacky? And where's boss for the matter too?"

"Over there." Adam pointed to a corner. Jacky is over there with a professional looking camera, trying to take the best shot of the flower that had caught his fancy. Our commander is looking as though he is sleeping on his feet, a thermos flask in hand that we all know contains his hot coffee. He never goes anywhere without his coffee.

The Johto region is home to a wide and diverse range of pokemon. There are many places in our region that are designated as nature reserves to be protected because of that. The one we are visiting right now, the Cherrygrove Nature Reserve, is one such place.

The six of us flash our individual Ranger Pass at the ticket ticker stationed at the entrance. Perks of being a Ranger includes benefits like this. We are given free passes to our region's nature reserves, because we are the ones who are protecting and maintaining the ecological balance of the place.

Our experienced eyes spotted the Rangers stationed in the nature reserve for the day, ensuring that no conflicts would happen and to protect both the visitors and wild pokemon from harming each other. In the nature reserve, visitors with pokemon are only allowed to release one pokemon per person to stay by their side. Of course, there are rules and regulations on what kinds of pokemon you can choose to accompany you. Allowing a visitor to stroll through the nature reserve with his pet onix is definitely a big no for obvious reasons. I decide to let Cosmo out, since she seems interested at seeing what a nature reserve truly is.

"Look, cloysters! You don't get to see them out of the waters very often!" Amy whispered excitedly as she pointed at a group of shellders and cloysters floating at the surface of the lake right below the bridge we are on. The surface of the lake is covered with a thin layer of ice as it is the winter season right now.

"Seels and dewgongs too. Look." Jacky pointed to somewhere not very far from the cloysters. "They must have swam here through the seas to enjoy the colder waters."

"Wow, look at all the ice types, popping out left and right because it's winter. So interesting. Clap clap clap." Adam drawled in a monotone.

As usual, nobody paid Adam any mind. Jacky is already trying to take pictures of wild pokemon in their natural habitat, adjusting the angle of his camera to get the best shot.

"The sneasels look so comfortable up in the trees. I want to join them." Our commander spoke up suddenly in a wistful tone, looking up at the trees ahead with a look of longing. True enough, there are a small group of sneasels taking an afternoon nap on the branches.

"Boss, this is a team outing! You need to look more alive!" Amy said with genuine passion.

"In case you can't tell, I am alive."

"Could have fooled us."

"Cheeky brat."

The six of us walked deeper into the reserve, following the route that the Rangers had deemed safe for the visitors to travel on and is watching everyone with a careful eye. The last thing anybody needs is for anyone to disturb the wild pokemon here. Doing so might cause some of them to lash out on instinct.

Some of the wild pokemon here are obviously more used to human contact. There are groups of wild pokemon that are not the least afraid of humans. There is a small flock of pidgeys and pidgeottos who ate the food offered to them right from the hands of the children who are visiting the area with their parents. There is also a small pack of sneasel who straight up demanded food from any passing humans. They tried to see if they could get food from any of us, but a snarl from Adam's houndoom sent them running off soon enough.

"How many pictures you got?" I leaned my head closer to Jacky to see just what kind of pictures that he had just taken with his camera.

"Quite a number." He replied as he quickly browsed through them. "There is a beauty to capturing pictures of pokemon when they are at their most natural and relaxed. Mother nature sure is beautiful."

"That she is." I agreed.

"Hey, Jacky! You might want to take a picture of this." Rufus said softly to not scare the wild pokemon here while pointing to a rocky cliff ahead. Right there is a small group of aipoms playing with the accumulated snow without a care in the world, their excited chattering filling the silence. It's not just us. Other visitors had also stopped to observe the aipoms in their natural habitat.

"Thanks, Rufus." Jacky immediately got down to business with a single knee, adjusting the camera in his hands. With a silent click, another photo was taken.

"Wait, we haven't got a team picture yet, right?" Amy voiced out. "We totally need one!"

"Alright, get in line. Time for a selfie." Jacky reversed the grip on his camera as we all hurriedly gathered to have our faces taken in the picture. Adam and Pyral looked less than thrilled, but we strong armed them into it anyway.

"Say Blaaacccckk!"

And there was the click of the shutter.

"Damn fucking lame." Adam complained the moment we let him go.

"Stop acting like a little tsundere." Amy chided as she slapped him on the arm. "It gets boring after the first week."

"Tsundere? That's it. You are so dead, you-"

The sudden broadcast announcement throughout the entire nature reserve got us all on high alert immediately.

"Attention, all visitors. Please follow the Rangers on duty and head right for the exit immediately. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Attention all-"

A brief second of silence descended on us as the rest of the visitors broke out into worried whispers and murmurs. I know our squadron was 'cursed' with shitty luck as can be seen from the types of missions and shenanigans we got ourselves into, willingly or not, but this takes the cut.

We are on a team outing for crying out loud. We are supposed to be off duty.

"Boss?" Rufus turned to our commander, who also has a similar scowl on his face. From the looks of it, even he doesn't appreciate getting dragged into emergencies on his day off, and this situation is definitely an emergency from how the Rangers stationed here suddenly broadcasted an announcement like that. You don't broadcast an announcement like that in public because it will incite a panic. Such an arrangement is a last resort.

For the Rangers stationed here to decide to do it, whatever had happened must be something big.

"Excuse me, we are from the 1st Regiment." Pyral flashed his own Ranger Pass that had his vocation and rank printed on it at the nearest Ranger on duty. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"U-Uh, no, I-I mean yes Sir!" The Ranger that Pyral had intercepted and sprung this news on stuttered a little when he caught sight of how high Pyral's rank when he read it from his Ranger pass. "Let me radio my superior about this. He knows the situation better than I do."

"Thank you." Pyral said in a flat voice.

Before long, the Ranger is leading us to a small building hidden in the middle of the reserve. It is a building for authorised personnel only.

"Lieutenant Colonel. Nice to have you here." A middle-aged Ranger who I assume is the one in charge shook hands with our commander, who returned the gesture.

"Major Rumsky." Pyral greeted before going right down to business. "What's the situation on hand?"

Major Rumsky's face turned grim, but pulled up a picture on the big screen in the room.

"What the-"

It's horrible.

On the picture were two Rangers, lying on the snow covered ground, facial features no longer recognisable because their heads were caved in. The snow around them are dyed in a deep scarlet red and their surroundings look as if everything around them were smashed by something using blunt force. From the looks of their mangled bodies, I have a sinking suspicion that their bodies were the ones being used to smash everything around them.

"They are part of the newest batch of Rangers posted here that I had to train, but they are not weak." Major Rumsky stated as the profiles of the two Rangers, Jennifer Skelder and Thomas Granton, came up on the screen. "When they hadn't radioed in during their check-in times, I sent another pair of Rangers to check on them. That's when we confirmed they went MIA because we cannot find them on their assigned route. That scene is what my Rangers found after another half an hour. Their dead bodies were located about half a kilometer off their usual patrol route."

"No signs of resistance?"

"None we could find. We suspect that the two of them were taken out by surprise, probably dead before…" Major Rumsky pointed to the destruction shown in the picture on the screen. "... that. It's like the pokemon purposely mutilated their bodies to make a statement. I have already sent my men to recover their bodies."

Even the most vicious of pokemon don't just suddenly kill humans for no apparent reason. The two murdered Rangers were obviously targeted on purpose. If there is something out there that is strong enough to take out two Rangers without a sound and leave no traces behind, then it is definitely a big cause for concern. The location where the bodies of the two Rangers were found is also too close to the main route that visitors travel on when visiting the nature reserve. Getting members of the public to leave ASAP suddenly sounds justified. A proper sweep to find the savage and bloodthirsty pokemon behind this can only be done if civilians are out of the way.

"Any idea what might have did this?"

"Negative." Major Rumsky gritted his teeth, his fists clenched. "Not even footprints. According to what we found, there was evidence on the scene that whatever pokemon that did this was clever enough to cover its tracks. This pokemon in question is at least knowledgeable in how we humans do things. It's both crafty and strong."

"An unknown then. Most likely a predator type too."

"I had been in charge of this area for seven years and this is the first time I saw any pokemon exhibiting behaviours like this." Major Rumsky turned back to look at us with a serious look on his face. "Whatever this is, I suspect it might be a recent addition to the area."

"Ho-oh bless us all if this is a case of abandoned pokemon going on a rampage." Rufus muttered. "Its hatred for humans might have been justified if that was the case."

"That's what I'm worried about too." Major Rumsky sighed. "If worse comes to worst, we might have to put it down for good."

"Do you have extra uniform and gear that you can lend me and my team?" Pyral cut in. "We are not exactly suitably dressed for mission right now."

"We always have extra sets of uniforms and gear on hand for emergencies. Jon will guide you there. Jon!" Major Rumsky bellowed out. A young looking Ranger squeaked in affirmation before hurriedly leading us to the room where we can hurry and change into the extra sets of uniforms on hand.

"First time?" Jacky asked Jon as he guided us through the narrow walkway, who nodded nervously in reply.

"N-Not even my first month into being a Ranger, Sir." Jon squeaked out. "I'm new. T-Those two… they were my friends from the Ranger academy. I… I-!"

"Don't worry. We will get to the bottom of this."

"Stop the chit chat and hurry with it. We need to suit up ASAP." Pyral ordered as he picked up a set of uniform and gear that is of his size.

Five minutes later, the entire Black Squadron of the 1st Regiment reconvened in the meeting room earlier, decked out in the Ranger uniform we loaned from the Rangers stationed at the Cherrygrove Nature Reserve and ready to be deployed at a moment's notice.

"This is definitely not what I have in mind when you guys said that we are going on a team outing." Adam emphasised as he put on a helmet. We all unanimously opted to get helmets after seeing how the two Rangers got their heads caved in. I also managed to find a pair of goggles to protect my eyes and a face mask to protect my face from the frigid cold when I take my position in the air later.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can your team find this pokemon?"

"You are misunderstanding something, Major." Pyral said in his no-nonsense voice that he only uses during missions. "We are the Black squadron from the 1st Regiment. It's not a matter of whether we can find this pokemon. We will find this pokemon and we will bring it down should it prove to be too savage to be reasoned with."

Pyral turned around and walked past us, heading for the door.

"Black Squadron, move out."


"Anyone got eyes on anything special?"

"Negative, Sir." I replied through the comms, and my response was also repeated by the others. We had split up to cover more ground, manually doing an aerial search in hopes to find out whatever had so mercilessly killed our fellow Rangers in such a violent manner.

We are all more fired up than usual. Whatever that pokemon is, it had just made that attack personal.

"This is Powergirl. I spotted a localised snowstorm, it might even be hail. It looks a lot like the Snow Warning ability to me, and from the size and power of it, whatever had done it looks like a very strong one. It might be the bogey that we are searching for."

"Stay in the air and don't engage. Everyone, to Powergirl's location right now."

"Sir?"

"Very few pokemon have the Snow Warning ability, and none of them are native to Indigo. That bogey cannot be from the nature reserve. Given the state of destruction we saw from the picture, there is only one pokemon that comes to mind."

"And that is?" Torent probed further.

"An abomasnow, and an extremely violent one at that. I will handle it personally, the rest of you provide me some support and help me see if there are more. Torrent, you are on firefighter duty should things go out of hand on my side."

"Yes, Sir!"

I was the first one to reach Powergirl's location. I peered down below from Crown's back, spotting the massive localised snowstorm that she was talking about.

It is also getting steadily bigger.

"That's definitely the work of a pokemon." Venom stated the moment he arrived. Torrent, Nightmare, and Cremator arrived not long after.

"I spotted it. Cremator's right. It is an abomasnow." I declared after managing to spot the pokemon through the massive snowstorm using the binoculars that I borrowed from the Rangers here.

"What the hell is an abomasnow doing here?" Nightmare asked impatiently. "This doesn't make any sense!"

"Someone obviously released it here. A case of improper release of pokemon, that's what this is."

"I know abomasnows are hunters and they are aggressive, but is it normal for them to kill two humans on sight though?"

"No, it's not. It's what we are going to get to the bottom to." Cremator said before turning to Venom. "If anything else pops up, you take temporary control. Clear?"

Venom saluted in affirmation and Cremator dove right down with his charizard. Seconds later, flashes of fire and ice clashed with each other. Cremator had released several of his fire types out for battle, but is taking great care to not use the bigger and flashier moves in case he started a forest fire.

"That abomasnow is well trained." Nightmare stated as we all observe the battle below, keeping watch to ensure that there won't be any surprises lurking nearby. "Funny how anyone will willingly release such a pokemon."

"Maybe its trainer passed away and it ended up here. We will have to go through the League's database later for confirmation. Check if there is anyone who passed away recently who possessed an abomasnow. Sometimes pokemon just lash out when their trainers pass away."

There is a sudden massive burst of fire raging from the other far end of the nature reserve.

"Major! What the hell was that?!" Cremator's voice can be clearly heard through the comms, demanding an explanation.

"That area is where the apex of the reserve lives!" Major Rumsky's garbled voice replied, the quality of the audio being transmitted is being affected by the raging cold winds. "But that apex is a mamoswine! It sure as hell can't use any fire type moves!"

"How strong is that mamoswine?!"

"Lorelei said that it is easily close to the level of her main team! But that mamoswine is very easy going and is not easily provoked to battle! Unless you are telling me-"

There was a brief silence as the realisation dawned on all of us, followed by a few mutterings of certain choice words.

"There's no way I can take down this abomasnow in time! Zephyr! Go check on the mamoswine! This abomasnow is to lure us away from the mamoswine! The rest of you, after her! Whoever is trying to poach that mamoswine obviously came prepared! She will need the backup! You guys may be in for a tough battle! Major! Can I count on your men to support them?"

"We got your backs, Sir! My men will be there shortly!"

Abomasnow's sudden appearance and the attack on mamoswine's home cannot be a coincidence. The only explanation we have is that this is a planned attack by pokemon poachers. While we are busy dealing with the feral abomasnow on this end, being fooled into thinking that this is just a horrible case of improper release of pokemon, pokemon poachers are trying to catch the powerful wild mamoswine residing in this reserve on the other end.

Everything was a trap. A beautifully laid trap that had misdirected us all.

"Zephyr! Don't let us hold you back! You go ahead first, we will catch up as soon as we can!"

Crown flew me off in a burst of speed as soon as Venom gave me the go ahead. I also took this time to release the rest of my team as they flew by my side. I have a gut feeling that I will need all of their help.

Major Rumsky had mentioned that the mamoswine is on the same power level of a pokemon expected from the team of an Elite Four. The wall of raging fire we spotted from earlier spelled certain trouble too.

We reached the site of the fire within a minute. Already, a huge forest fire is raging. I will have to leave that to Torrent to put it out.

Dia screeched out a cry, and it was just in time that I saw a person wrapped in black winter clothing from top to toe with a massive houndoom by his side. Just from looking at it alone, I can tell that even Nightmare's own couldn't hold a candle to it. About thirty meters away from him lies a defeated gigantic mamoswine with severe burns and grotesque injuries all over its body.

That person, obviously a pokemon poacher, threw a pokeball at the mamoswine. The mamoswine didn't even have the energy left to put up a struggle as it was sucked in.

I simply snapped at that sight.

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

Dia fired a beam of Swift as Glide used a Rock Tomb to trap the person in. That person turned his head up to look at me, giving no indication that he is in a hurry nor was he worried about getting stopped. The combination of a hood, a pair of shades, and a face mask obscured his face from view entirely.

Seeing how as he easily defeated a mamoswine this powerful, there's no way I am getting up close and personal with this guy.

The houndoom by that person's side suddenly unleashed a massive Fire Spin that trapped us in. Tino immediately get rid of it with a Twister, only to find a honchkrow heading straight for me like a missile using Drill Peck.

Dia tanked the blow as she retaliated with a Steel Wing. That person had somehow gotten himself out of the rock prison Glide had created for him without even touching it.

What took me by surprise, was Aria's sudden aggressiveness towards the poacher.

Without warning, Aria suddenly dove down at the poacher, firing attacks relentlessly as though she had just met her mortal enemy. The poacher seems nonplussed as he let his houndoom fend it off as he checks his watch.

He snapped his fingers and the honchkrow pulled away, somehow evading all of my other flying types in the process before it flew back to that person's side. Houndoom suddenly released the largest cloud of Smog I had ever seen, forcing us to retreat to avoid inhaling the toxic gas.

I obviously am not skilled enough to fight this guy alone. I have to buy more time for my team to get here. Since I cannot see through that big cloud of Smog and it takes too much time for even my flying types to safely diffuse it, the best option I have is a large scale AOE attack.

"Tino! Draco Meteor!"

Meteors imbued with draconic energy rained down from the skies, crashing down onto the ground below and ridding of the Smog in the process. I was about to give the next command when the darkest and biggest rays of Dark Pulse were fired from the other end of the cloud of noxious gas, hitting each of my fliers with pinpoint accuracy.

Crown was hit too. Before we knew it, we were free falling in the air. One hit. Just one hit of a Dark Pulse onto each of my pokemon and they are all knocked out.

We are hopelessly outgunned, outclassed, and outmatched. At this rate, I might really die.

"Mamoswine has been poached! Pokemon poacher in black about 1.7 to 1.8 meters tall! Black winter clothing with hood, shades, and face mask! Suspect to be a Dark Specialist! Known pokemon are a houndoom and a honchkrow-"

"Zephyr?! What the hell is going on?!"

Even if I cannot survive this, I need to relay as much information as I can about the poacher as I can. This guy is so dangerous that it isn't even remotely funny.

"- his strength is way above those of an Elite trainer! I can't hold him off! All of my pokemon are down! We are already free falling! I don't think I can make it through!"

"THEN FUCKING DO SOMETHING YOU SHITHEAD! WE ARE JUST RIGHT BEHIND YOU! DO SOMETHING TO STAY A LITTLE LONGER IN THAT DAMN FUCKING SKY!"

"I'M TRYING!"

"We can see you now! Hang in there!" I can hear Powergirl's voice as I clung for dear life onto Crown's back, who is already unconscious from that Dark Pulse fired.

I heard Dia giving a high pitched screech as she forcibly flew to my side despite the injuries she had suffered, catching me with her talons and immediately bringing me out of the area. I quickly recalled the rest of my team back into their pokeballs lest the poacher decided to poach the rest of my team too, who are now unconscious and defenceless.

"I got ya!"

A long pink tongue wrapped around my torso just when Dia no longer have the strength to continue flying and is quickly losing altitude. A hydreigon appeared through the clouds with Nightmare and his greninja as its riders. Greninja had used its long tongue to secure me just when Dia had reached her limit.

I recalled Dia back into her pokeball as greninja pulled me onto hydreigon's back. Nightmare quickly helped me onto it.

"T-The poacher!" I cried out, not wanting him to make it out with his captured prize. "He got the mam-"

"They are gone." Venom's firm but quiet voice spoke through the comms solemnly. "Powergirl and I are on the scene searching for him, but there are no traces of him left except for the scene of the battle. Torrent and his water types are still trying to put out the fire."

"Hey, you are safe now." Nightmare put a comforting hand on my shoulder, and it was then I realised that I am actually trembling in fear.

"T-That guy's dangerous." I whispered softly, my voice cannot help but tremble as I recall just how easily he had swatted my entire team out of the sky. Even my heavy hitters like Tino, Echo, and Aria didn't stand a chance. Only Dia managed to withstand that Dark Pulse, and that is more likely because of her Sturdy ability. It's only by luck that I managed to survive and not meet my grisly end, thanks to Dia.

And a lot of luck.

"H-He needs to be stopped. He not only got the mamoswine, he easily took out my entire team with just a Dark Pulse. We-"

"Calm down, Zephyr." Nightmare said in a firm tone, both of his hands on my shoulder and forcing me to look at him. "You are on the verge of having a panic attack. Yes, we lost the mamoswine. That bastard got the better of us, for now. But you and your team are still safe, still alive. We are going to heal you and your pokemon, we are going to get better, and then you can be sure that we are going to kick his fucking ass for pulling that fucking shit stunt. So get your shit together, you with me?"

I forced myself to take a few deep breaths to calm my breathing down.

"Y-Yes. Sorry, I-"

"It happens to the best of us." Venom said through the comms. "I'm afraid any traces of the poacher had just disappeared. He probably teleported right after putting up the cloud of Smog and firing those Dark Pulses like you said."

"No shit. Even we saw the Smog when we were still so far away." Adam growled.

"This is Cremator. Black Squadron, fall back, let Major Rumsky's men deal with the aftermath. Reinforcements are on their way. Torrent, you stay to help put out the fire. Do you guys copy?"

"Copy that, Sir." Venom answered on our behalf as we turned around to return back to base. The firefighting team had just arrived to help together with a whole army of Rangers.

In my opinion, unless there is someone on the level of our commander within that army, it still wouldn't be enough to stop that poacher. He's just that strong.

"Zephyr?"

"I need to get stronger." I replied to Nightmare's question of concern as I held onto Crown's pokeball tighter. "I was too weak back there to do anything."

"You are already plenty strong in my book. Whoever that bastard is, for him to defeat you so easily he must be nearing the power of a Gym Leader at the very least."

"We won't let something like this happen again." Powergirl said determinedly as her pidgeot pulled up right beside Nightmare's hydreigon with her riding on it.

She's right. We are not going to let something like this happen again. I am not going to take this lying down.

The next time we meet, I'm going to bring that bastard down.
