A week had passed since the meeting since milo revealed to everyone about the mysterious dangerous pokemon in the Wild Are, and ever since then Milo had barely said a word to his soulmates or the other gym leaders who sent him worried texts and calls. he never dared look or respond to the calls or text not wanting to hear that they had dealt with the pokemon and it had to be put down. he of course texted the occasional 'im ok dont worry' so they wouldn't come searching for him but never anything more.
Milo was honestly very upset with the fact that Chairman Rose just considered putting down the pokemon without looking for a reason as to why it acted in such a way. Milo always thought of it since he first saw the pokemons Silhouette in the falling snow. He even wondered if the pokemon was protecting its young or if it had been injured and was just lashing out in pain. The worst thing Milo thought up was, maybe the pokemon had been abused so badly it was now so scared or angry at people for what its previous trainer did.
"Love, are you alright?" a voice said from behind him. Milo, who was taking care of his WooLoo and other pokemon in his farm, stopped adding pokemon food to the pokemon feeder after he realized he overfilled it and turned his attention to his three soulmates who were behind him looking at him with worried and concerned expressions.
"yeah im fine" Milo gave a smile that they could tell was fake right away. "Why didn't you guys tell me you were all coming over? I could have had something made" he said as he greeted them with hugs and kisses on their cheeks.
"Well we tried to but you didn't pick up our calls or texts" Raihan said as he was the last one to get affection from his mate who he hadn't seen in over a week.
"how are you feeling love?" Leon said as he pet one of Milos WooLoo.
"im doing fine-"
"don't give us that baby. we know you're not fine " Raihan said as he interrupted Milo before he could lie. "if you were fine you wouldn't be ignoring out calls or texts like this."
"..." Milo just stood there before nodding his head and sitting down on the grass next to his personal WooLoo. His soulmates also followed his example and sat on the ground around him ready to listen to his troubles. "I have been thinking… about the wild pokemon that have been in the wild area a lot lately."
"yeah we remember" Gordie nodded his head remembering that part of the meeting "we all looked into it after the meeting"
"Well, I have been thinking about what Chairman Rose said in the meeting." Milo started looking at the ground as he played with his Wooloos fur
"You are afraid they will put it down or have it transferred to a pokemon facility" Leon asked, Milo just nodded his head before placing his head on Gordies shoulder. "Love, don't worry so much about it. i talked to Rose About it and he agreed that if the pokemon is too violent or strong then i would be allowed to keep it to have it trained and if all goes well i would be allowed to have it in my own personal pokemon… but that's not the problem is it…" Leon asked as Milo looked even sadder than before.
Milo just shakes his head before explaining "no.. I have just been thinking about it a lot. but what if the pokemon is being violent for a reason, like what if it has a baby with it and is just protecting it, or what if its still an Egg and its protecting its nest… or…" Milo Paused as he stopped playing with the fur on his Wooloo and had his hand grabbed by Raihan who held his hand tightly. "or what if it was abandoned or abused so badly that it now fears people so badly that attacking without question is its only option that… that it could think of to escape or what if humans took its family away and it looking for its baby or–"
"Hold on there baby, hold on," Raihan said as he got closer and hugged him."it's ok baby, it's ok,just breathe. it's ok" he said as he kissed his cheeks and head trying to calm him.
behind them their pokemon had wandered off to have their own discussion and gave them concerned looks. They all gave out a small cry letting their trainers know that they were there and if they needed them to just give them a call before turning to their own conversation.
"Love normally you would never react in such a way, please tell us these things before they get too much for you" Leon said as he wiped Milos' tears away. Gordie just stayed silent as they all comforted their mate. Gordie had actually been questioning something the last couple of days, thinking about everything that had been happening, and something didn't add up. after a little bit Milo calmed down and wiped away his own tears.
"Hun can i ask you a question…" Gordie asked Milo as he calmed down and nodded. "why is it you never told us about the pokemon sooner. i mean this pokemon has been running around for at least 5 months now from what reports say online." Gordie asked "and why is it that every time I try to look it up on my phone nothing comes up…"
Milos' eyes widened before he looked away and tried to come up with any sort of excuse. Raihan and Leon both got a look of realization, both having experienced the same thing on their phones and wondered why their mate never told them anything. they all looked over at Milo who had a look of panic on his face.
"I was… I don't know what your… I thought I told you guys…I never… i didnt think…" Milo started to try to come up with something to tell them.
"don't lie… why didn't you tell us Hun…" Gordie started harshly only to get an answer out of him. Milo's eyes started to water again before nodding his head.
"i… i knew that you would have been upset if you found out what i did" he whispered. his soulmates looked at him confused wondering what he was talking about. "After some trainers came and told me their concerns about the pokemon that had gone missing and the cries they heard… I went to investigate instead of my workers…"
"what!" his soulmates yelled, shocked at the revelation. they all started yelling and asking questions such as if he was alright or if anything had happened.
"No! no no… nothing happened" Milo interrupted them. "i… i didn't even get close to the pokemon, and i kept my distance from the pokemon when it did appear and i of course i did listen to all the warning signs and abided by them so it wouldn't attack me"
"that's not the point Milo. you could have been hurt or worse, why didn't you tell us." Raihan yelled
"because I knew you would get upset… all of you would have. i didnt want you guys to find out and forbid me from going to feed the pokemon or to check if it was alright." Milo said
"Love, we understand that you care but that doesn't change the fact that you could have gotten hurt" Leon said as he got closer to him holding both his hands in his own. "we love and care for you and we don't want to see you get hurt like that boy did from those weeks ago"
"But I'm fine. and the pokemon was just scared. I was there for the interview with the boy and the man who got the boy to safety. the boy had ignored the warning calls the pokemon gave out and attacked the pokemon with his own." Milo said as he started to explain what the boy had done "he said that he just wanted a stronger pokemon and went to the last place the pokemon was heard and attacked it. and according to the witness the boy pushed his pokemon to far when the wild pokemon avoided all hits and made contact with his own pokemon with its own attack. and also according to the witness he sent out a baby pokemon and the boy himself hit it with a rock to get it to attack… that's when the witness said the wild pokemon attacked the trainer so badly that the witness himself got involved and took the unconscious boy and his pokemon away as the wild one just watched them leave without much issue."Milo said it in a panicked voice and went into more detail. "that's why i think the pokemon is so violent or at least teritorial because i think it was abused and it was confirmed that the boy was abusing his pokemon… and that's why the pokemon attacked him… because it saw the abuse…and i just go every other day to drop off some pokemon food in a basket to make sure its ok. every time i do i just see its silhouette through the snow. "
'Milo i understand that you care and that you where doing the right thing for that pokemon but you should have told us… not Rose but you should have told us about this…" Raihan said as he shook his head. Milo just nodded, he knew that they only look out of his best interest. he also knew that lying to them would have ended badly especially since he messed with their phones so they wouldn't get any notifications about the wild area monster.
"Love…"
"I know what you are about to say about me going to see the pokemon every other day but dont worry im safe everytime.i never get close, i just leave the food under a tree and make sure no other pokemon takes its food and watch when it get there before leaving."
"You should have at least told us that something was going on. what if one day it attacked you when you turned your back." Leon said.
"and why did you mess with our phones… what if we went to the wild area and we had not known about this… what if we were attacked by it… is that… is that why you did it…"Gordie finally jumped in.
"NO… I would never put you in any danger… I didn't mean it like that… i just didnt want you guys to hear about that pokemon and instantly go and attack it–"
"we would never do that love… you know us… we woulndt have attacked or hurt the pokemon… sure we would have been worried but we would have never done anything crazy like that" Leon said as he looked slightly heartbroken that his soulmate would think something like that.
"we have to talk about this eventually but first lets get this out the way… is their anything else you want to tell us about the pokemon before we move on to our… relationship…" Raihan said as he gulped.
"there… there is one more thing…" Milo started. He looked over at his soulmates who looked slightly tired at the long conversation to come but let him continue. "i feel something every time i go and see the pokemon…"
"What do you mean you feel something" Gordie asked confused "like a bad feeling…"
"no… nothing like that… I just get this feeling of needing to be there… like there is something out there… it not the pokemon but something deeper in the Giants Seat that i cant get too since the pokemon appeared 5 months ago." Milo said as his soulmates gave him a confused look.
"If you want we can look into it once the pokemon gets caught," Leon said as he nodded. "I talked to Rose the other day and he said that next week will be the day that he assigned his team of rangers to get the pokemon." with that Milo looked down and they all started to talk about their relationship…
X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X—-X
in the wild area where the snow was now to people 's knees. Giants Seat was a maze filled with nothing but snow. it had not stopped snowing in weeks and the area had not seen the sun in months. The snow never had a chance to melt and much less the ice that now found itself on trees, rocks and especially the lake.
As the snow fell harshly three bouts made their way through the lake to get to the cave on the side of the mountain where they expected the mysterieuse pokemon to be. They had traveled for almost three days trying to get there but the snow kept getting worse and worse the deeper they got, and whenever they tried to use a sunny day it would vanish almost instantly. The rangers on the boat just assumed it was a pokemons doing it and continued on.
as they continued they started to get their things ready to go into the cave just in case. they had everything covered. if the pokemon was protecting a baby then they would take the baby to luar it out and catch it, if it's scared they had strong pokemon to scare it to a corner so they can catch it. if it just wanted to fight, the strong hitters would deal with it. if it was out they would set up a trap in the cave in case it came back. they had everything they needed in any situation. as of now they were getting their cameras and headsets ready and making Contact with Chairman Rose making sure that everything was green to go.
Once they made it to shore they started to take out their pokemon and followed their map to where the map was located. They were a couple of miles from the cave so they had a couple of minutes to clear the area before the pokemon got their scents, so they were going to take advantage of that time and make sure the area was clear before they started walking. Once they did that they sent their pokemon first as they walked making sure they were not attacked.
Once they made it to the cave it was silent, not a sound could be heard other than the sound of the wind and snow and ice falling from trees and rocks. not a single cry of a pokemon was heard or any paw or hoofprints of any kind in the snow leading to the cave making them assume that the pokemon was most likely in the cave asleep or taking care of the young.
The leader of the group nodded his head before throwing hand signals at the rest of the rangers, ordering for 5 of the 20 rangers to take position in front of the cave just in case they were wrong and the pokemon was out. Leaving the rangers behind, the leader ordered his Metagross to go in front of him to make sure they didn't get surprised by an attack. They walked for several minutes as one of the rangers reported everything that was happening. The tension was rising the deeper they went into the cave.
"nothing out of the ordinary has happened. The cave is dark and silent and it doesn't look like anything has been here in years… it seems to be getting warmer the deeper we walk into the cave… it feels off since it was below -10 outside…" the guard that was reporting to Rose threw the headpiece. but it was true the further they went the hotter it got. it got to the point that they had to take off their jackets but couldn't because of the gear that they had on.
They walked deeper and they started to get to a steep part of the cave where they had to watch where they were going or they would have tripped and rolled down the cave. as they walked down the Path the Metagross suddenly stopped walking and just glared ahead.
'Metta… gross….' the pokemon called out cautiously as it waited for something. it growled lightly as the sound of pitter patter came from deeper in the cave.
"Metagross be ready" the leader said as he looked into the the pitter patter was getting closer as the seconds passed before they stopped and just outside theire line of sight. "Metagross" the leader said as he ordered his pokemon to get closer but just before the pokemon could take a step a ball came from the shadow making the pokemon stop as it rolled back into the shadows only to be pushed back with more force to have the ball hit the Metagross's leg. Metagross paused and just stared into the darkness not bothering with the the shadows nothing happened until a tiny bark came asking the larger pokemon to throw the ball back, only to have the ball roll back from the slope. before it could even get to the shadow a small tiny little pokemon appeared. It was a dog like a pokemon almost looking like a Growleth with just some small differences like the coloring and the large bangs covering its eyes.
The small pokemon jumped and played on the little old ball making the rangers relax a little bit just thinking that it was a baby pokemon and that this would be easier than they thought.
"Alright let's get this over with '' one of the rangers said as he stepped up slightly and threw a pokeball at the pokemon.
"wait don't- '' just as the leader spoke the ball made contact with the pokemons head causing it to yelp and rub its head before running back into the shadows whimpering "fuck" the leader said as he ordered Metagross forword to ollow the pokemon. They followed it until it hid behind one of the four pillars that were there in the cave. "hi its ok buddy we won't hurt you." the leader said as he finally caught up to it. the small pokemon shook and whimpered.
just as the leader was about to come closer to pet the little pokemon, his Metagross jumped in front of him and let out a cry 'Mettaagrooossss!' the pokemon cried as it cleared at the little pokemon. "Metagross what are you–" the leader started but a growl from in front of him got his attention. He looked into the darkness but he didnt hear the growling coming from there. his Metagross pushed him back as it kept growling and crying out.
something caught the leaders attention when his Metagross did that. the pillar that the tiny pokemon was hiding behind moved a tad bit pushing the pokemon deeper into the cave.
That's when the leader looked up…
That's when he realized that the little pokemon was not hiding behind pillars…
and no it was not just an odd reflection on the ceiling of the roof of the cave.
the more he looked at it the pillars looked like gigantic paws and the softly glowing reflections were actually black glowing eyes that glared deeply at the rangers. The leader just stared at the pokemon who took a step out of the shadows and into the light that the lanterns that they brought shined. It took a moment as it stepped out from behind the shadows before it let out a growl and loud roar that sounded almost like a bark but it was hard to tell since the cave made it into an echo.
"Metagross use bullet punch." the leader yelled as the rest of the rangers ordered their pokemon to attack but they were blown back by roar by the giant pokemon.``make contact with the rangers on guard now." the leader yelled over the roar.
"i tried to make contact but they never responded to any orders" one of the rangers said as he yelled at her pokemon to attack again. none of the attacks on the pokemon seemed to phase it as it just glared deeply.
the pokemon once again growled and started to prepare its next attack allowing the little pokemon to run deeper into the cave.
"get ready, its next attack is coming" one of the rangers called. the pokemon just glared and let out an earthquake.
'get out of there now. group B has been ambushed. leave and regroup immediately.' Rose's assistant said over the headpiece. Just as the leader was about to respond, another pokemon's attack came from behind them.

Raihan was sitting in the Rose corporation meeting room again. ever since the conversation with his soulmates about their relationship it had been tense. they had talked about what Milo had done and talked about keeping secrets from each other. After they talked about what Milo did they started talking and more secrets came out like how Leon was actually super stressed by being champion and how he felt like he wasn't good enough for his let it slip that he posts a lot of pictures of them together because he had been working on getting more rights for them and other soulmates that had multiple bonds, he had also told them that he had been harassed online for the bonds and even though he was doing this for people like them he didn't feel supported at all by anyone. Gordie also talked about how much stress his mother was putting on him about being an Ice type gym leader and taking over her gym but under her turms. he also explained that his mother wanted him to take care of his siblings more as if being her way to distract him from doing anything for himself as a gym leader.
thay had talked for hours about their problems and about what they were going to solve the problems that they were having. of course the tension was killing them but they were working threw it, it was going slowly but it was working itself out.
right now Milo was sitting next to him along with Leon who was sitting next to Gordie in the meeting room. they as of now had not had another argument since last week when they talked and they were honestly doing better.
"Everyone settle down and let's start this meeting now." Rose said as he walked into the room. he looked really pissed off and instantly had his assistant pass around a packet of papers to all the gym leaders.
"What's this?" Kabu asked as he opened the packet and started going through the papers, everyone else following his example.
"As of yesterday the wild area has been shut down with no exceptions." Rose started the meeting without addressing Kabu. "the pokemon that has been causing a muck in the wild area has gone too far and it will be dealt with by all the strongest trainers in Galar that being all you gym leaders and champions."
"May I ask how come?" Melony asked. "I thought you had it handled with the pokemon rangers you sent out" she asked confused.
"I did until the pokemons buddies appeared." Rose said angrily as he nodded at his assistant. with his permission his assistant put a slideshow on the board behind him. " as you can see this is what happened to the rangers I sent out." Rose said as behind him there are pictures of men and women in the hospital in critical condition with cuts,burns and frostbite. "the rangers had live feed cameras on them sending me live footage of what happened and as you can see here it wasn't pretty" Rose stated as a video started playing behind him. The video was short of the inside of the cave where the rangers were giving out commands to their pokemon to attack into the shadows. from the video they can hear the panic in their voices and the cries of pain their pokemon gave when the Wild pokemon attacked them back twice as hard. The gym leaders looked at the video in shock and amazement as they saw small glimpses of the pokemon with the little lighting that was there. The pokemon looked huge compared to the regular sized pokemon.
"and you said it wasn't alone you said correctly" Leon asked as he looked through the paperwork. He saw a screenshot of a young looking pokemon "and what about this one… did this one attack too." he asked as he took the picture out and showed it to the room.
"no that was the first pokemon they saw. According to the lead ranger I sent, they thought it was the pokemons baby. they were going to take it out to lure the mother out but it got spooked and ran behind its mother's legs." Rose said as he switched the video to a picture. "the rangers thought that the pokemons legs were actually Pillars which is why they were caught by surprise."
"I can see why… I would have been confused by how the mother was hiding its actual paws behind some rocks…" Gordie said as he looked closely at the picture. "and by the way the legs look it does look like a rock type"
"and by the coloring of the fur i can also guarantee that the pokemon is also a fire type." Kabu stated in a matter a factly voice agreeing with gordie.
"but what pokemon would be both rock and fire type?" asked Raihan "from what i know the only one we have here in galar is Coulossal."
"thats… that's true, so what pokemon would it be? It can't be a Magcargo that's for sure." Melony stated.
"hold… hold on…" Alister spoke as he looked at the video that Rose's assistant changed. Everyone looked at him, causing him to sink into his seat.
"What is Alister?" Bea asker her younger brother (by soulmark)
"go back… the video… I saw something…" he said as he pointed at the projection. Rose's assistant did as told and paused it before waiting for him to tell her what to day. "go… frame by frame… I saw something in the background… There!" Alister said as the woman paused. It was the moment the little pokemon went behind the mothers paws.
"What, I don't see anything? '' Raihan asked.
"Look there… closely in the darkness… the yellow specks in the back…" Alister said pointing "they look like eyes… and there in the bottom… there is another pair." he stated as he hid behind his mask drooping a little more as the rest of the gym leaders looked closer. He was right.
"Was that the pokemon that ambushed the rangers?" Milo asked, inspecting the projection.
"No it was this one," Rose said as his assistant changed it to glowing purple and blue eyes along with a pair of Bright blue and white eyes that shone in the darkness. after the picture it changed to a video of the pokemon with the bright purple and the one with White both used flying type moves that basically froze the pokemon and rangers, only for them to be hit by a fire type move. "they where the pokemon that were in the cave… there was another one that attacked from outside… thats the one we should be more worried about..." he said as he moved the projector to a video
"When do you think we will be done with this?" one of the rangers asked as he looked around at his surroundings.
"Soon I hope so… hi what's that?" one of the men said as he pointed to the lake where their boats were.
"where" the man from before asked.
"there by the boats… something seems off… im going to go check…" he said as he started to walk in that direction.
"don't be stuped don't go alone. what if the pokemon is out there" the other man said " i'll go with you"
"both of you are stupid… lets go. Jackson, mason keep watch." a female ranger said as she walked with them to investigate the boats. They walked closer and closer. As they got closer the camera showed that the boats were fine but slightly tilting.
"looks like nothings wrong let's go back—"
"no… hold on somthings wrong…" the woman said as she got closer "Mike… look at the boats… why aren't they rocking…"
With that the man with the camera got closer and inspected the boats. She was right. the boats seem to have completely frozen in their spots. He tried to pull the boat out but the ice refused to let it go.
"run…"the man from before said as he looked into the lake. the man with the camera looked at him confused
"what?" the man with the camera asked
"run… run run run RUN '' the man said as he turned, taking his pokemon with him that followed him. The man with the camera turned to where the man looked and screamed along with the woman as they saw two gigantic eyes. not just huge the eyes themselves looked like they were teen feet in size each. The rest of the pokemons body looked ginormous, bigger than even some of the tallest buildings in Galar. They screamed and turned to run away, their pokemon following after them scared away by the pokemons size.
"get out of there." the two men who were left at the cave entrance and then the video cut out.
"what in the world…" Kabu asked, shocked as everyone stared at the screen in shock. most of all Milo who had been feeding the pokemon and never once saw that monster of a pokemon. his mates looked over at him wondering if he knew about it but by the expression on his face they knew he didn't.
"In all mighty Arceus I have never seen a pokemon that huge before… not even as a Gigantamax pokemon gets that big." Opal said shocked.
"did it Gigantamax in the water before it went out" Leon asked
"No, according to the videos that were collected it was always there. as you can see." Rose's assistant said as she showed more images "it was always watching them but never made a move until they were off the boats. It showed intelligence by waiting until they were away and froze the water even more and didn't make a move until the rangers were close."
"When do you want us to take care of the pokemon?" Gordie asked, sitting up.
"as soon as possible. We are here to make a plan of action. Now that Alister pointed out that there were more pokemon in the cave we can prepare for that as well." Rose said "the files i gave you are the plans my team made for you all. you can change anything from them but just know we will deal with this as soon as humanly possible or we won't be as humane the next time we make a move against this pokemon." Rose said with a glare. "no matter the cost we have to deal with the pokemon now."
With a nod everyone agreed and instantly started planning with Leon leading them to make sure that everything went well. the only one that was kinda not paying attention was Milo who was thinking about the pokemon. with the size of the pokemon the food would have never been enough… but that wasn't the pokemon that went to pick up the basket or the one that left the basket after a couple of days. and not only was it more then one it looked like it was a pack of strong pokemon all together bigger then normal much food did they actually need… he didn't think that the food he gave them would have been enough for just one…
"it's fine babe… we will get them to safety where they will be taken care of. just think about what will happen when we get them to good trainers or to their own section in a pokemon rescue." Raihan whispered as he hugged his mate.
"I know…" Milo agreed and started to pay more attention.
