Chapter 23 Wow, Lookit All the Numbers!!!
I hadn't noticed it until after Ho-oh spoke, but the Inious Fields were tremendously beautiful.
Each delicate flower was of a kind I had never seen before...And believe me, I had seen many.
There were many different shades, each flower brilliantly made of multiple colors.
Lugia noticed my awe, and smiled. Ho-oh's one lucky bird.
You're telling me... I swept my gaze across the field, and spied three dog-like Rainbowmon swiftly making their way towards us.
By dog-like I mean four paws on the ground, noses similar to a Growlithe's, and strong necks and jaws that would make an Arcanine proud.
But that was where the canine similarity ended.
The biggest one had a big bulky, furry white chest, with pointed ears, black nose, white mane, very large paws, trunk-like legs, a red body, and flames for a tail.
Its eyes were a black that appeared to have a fire of its own raging inside.
The second largest one was yellow with black zig-zags all over its body, a black nose similar to the bigger one's, shapely legs, modest -but sharply clawed- paws, a Pikachu-like tail, thunder-bolt shaped tuffs for ears, angry-looking beady eyes, a strong barrel, and a short snout.
It appeared to be the most agile of the trio, and was running effortlessly in the lead.
The third one was smallest in stature, and the most delicate looking one. It was an enrapturing blue, with thin legs and small paws, a violet nose, had alert, partially up-right ears that flopped as it bounded towards us, and a flowing blue tail similar in shape to Goldeen's, but smaller.
Its eyes were moist-appearing, and were a stunning purple.
Soon enough, they reached us, the red one stepping forward. He spoke in our minds, Greetings, Ho-oh. Bring you help from the outside world?
Ho-oh nodded, and the yellow Rainbowmon offered, I am Kurrwol. He threw his head at the larger canine, That is Ignicane, and our smaller companion is Hydestree.
Upon being mentioned, Hydestree tried to hide behind Ignicane. Kurrwol gave a wolfish grin, She's rather shy around strangers. Don't worry, give her a while.
Am not, Hydestree whined.
"So what does our current army consist of?" Misty asked.
"Oh, hoooo ooohhh, hooo-oh-oh hoho hoh ho oh," Ho-oh replied.
[Us, and a few other Rainbowmon, such as the Snorlax you saw earlier.]
Pikachu spoke, "Pi "kaaaa chuuuu-pi" pikachu piiii "kaaaaaaaa chuuuu-pi!"
[By "a few other Rainbowmon" I hope you mean a "few hundred Rainbowmon!]
Ho-oh exchanged a look with the three swift dogs, something that filled me with dread.
Hydestree bashfully told us (still hiding behind Ignicane), Right now there's just a little under fifty.
"FIFTY?" Brock burst out, then looked sheepish at his outburst. Ignicane reluctantly nodded.
Ash was about to speak up, but Kurrwol cut him off, Their numbers range somewhere along one or two thousand.
Misty inquired, "How many non-active non-avian Rainbowmon are there?"
My estimation would be somewhere along the lines of five thousand, Ignicane answered.
"Five *thousand*?" Ash exclaimed.
That's the exact reason they are not worried. They think that since our numbers are greater we've no reason to be concerned. But when you take into consideration all of the Charizards, Pterdacts, Scizors, Gyrados, Dragonites, Beedrill...et cetera et etera, then one realizes the problems involved. Sure, on our side are Blastoises, Venusaur, Rhinekings, Rhynequeens, Poliwrath, Arcanines, Machamps, and whatnot, it still will not be enough if they dwindle down our numbers, because of our unsuspecting members...The ghosts just drift around uncaringly, but... Ignicane finally stopped, trailing off.
"Hooo oooooooohhhhhh oohooo ho ho ooohhhh hohohohohohooooo," Ho-oh sadly said.
[But our greater numbers won't matter if the non-avian Rainbowmon refuse to fight.]
"What are Rhinekings and Rhinequeens?" Ash asked.
Impatiently I answered (even I knew what their names were derived from), They're like Nidokings and Nidoqueens.
"Oh."
"Why are the avians upset?" Misty questioned.
During the past few years, much unrest has grown among the Flying-types and their predecessors. They think the ground dwellers are slow and lazy...not worth keeping around. If they defeat us they shall become overconfident, and try to extend their reach into the *other* world, Hydestree explained, looking surprised that she'd said that much.
Are you the only Flying-type Rainbowmon that is on the ground-dweller's side? I asked.
Ho-oh nodded.
I could tell this war was going to take a while to settle...
And it might not be peacefully.
Author's Note: *sniffles* Sorry this is short, it's b/c I'm a little depressed...Only got one review to my Chatroom fic...And it was called silly...But that was what I was going for, so that's okay...Still...I guess it was a little *too* silly...or boring...Or else maybe it didn't look interesting...Guess chatroom fics aren't my bowl of mud...Err...Maybe I'd better keep my mouth shut instead of trying to think of idioms and using all these triple periods that I can't remember the correct term for...
I'm sorry about my rather iffy descriptions of the fields and dogs and whatnot (describing things is not a thing I'm good at), plus it's a Mew that is actually telling the story...(there's those dots again!) And maybe it's not that good with words? Anyway, if you actually read the descriptions, I hoped it painted an okay picture in how they are different from Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. Not to offend anyone who absolutely loves their appearance, but what's with the flowy, long hair-looking stuff that they have for tails and their heads? Scary scary stuff.
