The Rescue Race

"Get back here!," 14 year old Chloe screamed as she watched two dark figures take off in a van with her female baby Horsea. Her beautiful Rapidash, Pyrrah had already taken off after the two people who had held a gun to her trainer in a threat to take her Horsea who had helped her win many battles with other baby Pokémon because of her Dragon Rage attack. Chloe knew Pyrrah, as an especially fast Rapidash, would for sure catch up with the van. She began to cry uncontrollably, scared to death that something would happen to her Pokémon.

"Umbreon, Umbreon!," her shiny, female Umbreon Callisto called to Chloe's other Pokémon, a male Bulbasaur, a male Totodile, and a male Spearow. The "take charge" Pokémon yelled something to Spearow and he imediately flew to the air. Totodile and Bulbasaur tried to cheer Chloe up by making funny faces but if anything it made her cry more. Spearow flew after the van. By the time he caught up with it, the thieves had taken Horsea and Pyrrah and were now in the basement of the Goldenrod City Department Store. Pyrrah was muzzled so she couldn't flame the two thieves who were a male and a female.

"Well aren't you just the sweetest thing?," the girl said to Pyrrah. "Our boss would sure like you."

Horsea spat ink in her face.

"Why you little..." the girl tried to strangle Horsea until the male pulled her away.

"This Pokémon is useless if you kill it!," he scolded her.

Horsea just giggled amused.

"You better watch it!," she told her.

Pyrrah reared and stomped on the ground.

"Easy there," the guy said to her.

She angrily snorted flames out of her nostrils. He tied her legs up so she couldn't move and the thieves left the room. Spearow flew down and began to peck at the ropes around Pyrrah's legs. Pyrrah tried to mumble something to Spearow and he began to peck at the muzzle on her mouth. When he finally got it off she flamed the ropes off her feet, grabbed Horsea in her mouth and left through a secret passage which led the trio to to the Underground Tunnel. They passed many familiar sights including the parlor where they got their hair done. They ran home and and found a police car parked in the front driveway of the house. Spearow pecked on the front door. A police officer greeted them.

"Well look what we have here!," the police officer said with a smile. Chloe glanced at the door. Seeing who her "guests" were she ran to the door and gave them a huge group hug. She had never been so relieved in her entire life.

"How did you guys get home?," she asked them with tears in her eyes. Horsea looked at Pyrrah, Pyrrah looked at Spearow and Spearow made a funny noise pretending to be Callisto. Chloe and the police officers laughed and tears were now streaming down her face.

"You're lucky to have such smart, responsible Pokémon," one of the police officers said to her.

"Believe me," she said, "I know."
