Chapter 5
The Sneasels moved back into the ice cave, the ones who lived, anyway.
You were lucky to have gotten away, Shui! Shui-Bing smiled. He had said the same thing every night.
I didn't get away, Father. He let me go! Shui protested. She always replied the same way.
Ha ha ha! You make good jokes! Shui-Bing laughed.
I'm not joking, Father! He really let me go!
Shui-Bing suddenly got a serious look on his face. You are not to trust fire. Especially, those fire Pokemon!
Yes, Father. Shui said, and walked away to her chambers. Her chambers were nothing more than a little side cave. She shouted good night to the other Sneasels, and pretended to sleep. She did the same thing every night.
In the middle of the night, Shui got up, and walked around the cave. I'm going to ask Father tomorrow. I'm going to ask him why.
Shui decided to go outside for some fresh air and a look at the full moon.
Meanwhile, Huo walked with his friends to go play Fire Tag, a game they had made up. It was a game great for playing at night, because you could see the fire light up and burn.
Shui saw a light in the woods, and began to walk toward it. She was drawn to light; it made her feel safe. When she saw it was (that's so cool! "Was" is "Saw" backwards! Sorry for the interruption) a group of Houndooms and Houndours, Shui began to turn back. I don't want to be discovered dead tomorrow morning.
A fireball landed beside Shui, and her eyes lit up in it.
Someone's there! a Houndour said.
Come on out!
Shui began to run, but they began running after her.
I think it's a Sneasel. I remember their smell. Huo said.
You're lucky. You get to go to the fights, because you're going to be leader. a Houndoom said.
Shui was getting tried, but they wouldn't stop chasing her. Finally an idea popped in her head. She would attack them, but she couldn't use ice attacks. She stopped and climbed up a tree. There she waited.
