Meanwhile, Yuna was carried to the Pokemon Center on Pyro's back.
"Aren't you a heavy-" began Pyro-
"Oh, shutup. Yuna's hurt. We gotta take her to the Pokemon Center!" He sighed and walked on.
"Ah! There it is! Look!" Kero turned to look Pyro's direction. A huge, white building with a 'P' on it and some Pokemon were on the very top of it. They walked in.
"Hello, I'm Nurse Mew. How can I help you?"
"Our friend's really poorly... can you help her out?"
"That's what I do! She'll be better in no time." Nurse Mew took her inside a room for healing. "You stay there for a while to heal, alright? I'll be back soon." She walked out of the room.
"C'mon, you numbskull! No, no, no! Don't do that! CAN YOU SHUTUP ALREADY?! QUIT FIGHTING AND GET OVER HERE!" Ivysaur had been shouting nonsense like this to Electabuzz and Donphan. "OK, then! If you won't shut up I'll do it FOR you!" He let out his vine whips and slapped them across the face.
"Hey!" Electabuzz sent a jolt of electricity to him, but Ivysaur knocked it away from him with his trusty whips.
"OK, anyway, we's gonna sneak inside that there window and grab Yuna! But the window's too high, so Electabuzz will be sent in by my vine whips. If he can't open up those... things that heal Pokemon, we'll send in Donphan. Got it?"
"Goddit, boss."
Ivysaur carefully picked up Electabuzz and lengthened his vine whips to match the height of the window. "Get in, quickly!" Electabuzz slid it open and jumped in quickly. He carefully sneaked across the floor, hiding behind anything that was near him so he wouldn't get caught too easily. He bashed and bashed the healing thing that held Yuna, but he wasn't strong enough. He rammed into it. Nope. He thundershocked it. Wouldn't work. Electabuzz gasped for air, tired out. He walked back to the window.
"You can send in Donphan now... Ugh..." Ivysaur picked him up and reached to the window.
"Get in now! Hurry up!" As you all know, Donphans are weak against grass. Because he didn't like his vine whips one bit, he wiggled about through the whole ordeal of getting to the window.
"I... I can't. Go HIGHER!" Ivysaur did as he asked and pushed his vine whips up, and he was still wiggling.
"Now, go in!"
"I... can't... these vine whips won't let me move!"
"Oh, for GOD'S SAKE!!! You're the weakest Donphan in the world as far as I'm concerened!" He finally threw him inside, smashing the window.
Meanwhile, Nurse Mew was walking back to the Center. Suddenly - "Huh? What was that? It sounded like a broken window...!" Nurse Mew said to herself. "Must've been me... Ah well, no matter."
"Well, that was a peice of cake, wasn't it Donphan?" Taunted Electabuzz sarcastically. "Now, get to work, my fat-headed friend, and quickly! Someone might have heard that."
"Oh, shutup!" Donphan curled up in a ball, spinning around in a blur. "GO!" Donphan immediatley went, smashing right into that healing.. thing. Yuna flopped down, onto the floor.
"Have you got her yet?! Called out Ivysaur from the bottom of the building. That smash was WAY too loud! Nurse Mew's probably rushing back now!"
Nurse Mew heard a smash. She broke into a run.
"Yes, yes, we have her! Don't have your knickers in a twist!" Ivysaur grumbled. The two pokemon walked down the vines like a ladder.
All the commotion had awoken Yuna. "YOU ASSHOLES!" Even speaking hurt. She tried to get free from the grasp but it only wore her out more.
"Calm down, l'il laday." Taunted Donphan. "You're too weak to even blink, so there's nothin you can do!"
"What are you going to do to me, pigs?"
"Oh, not much... we're just going to kill you. Y'know, we're gonna throw you in the river."
Tears fell down Yuna's cheeks. What if she never made it back alive? What if they got rid of her before her friends get rid of them..?
Nurse Mew saw the wreckage of glass piled on the floor. "Oh, dear! Someone's kidnapped Yuna..." She ran down the hallway where the two Pokemon waited.
"Hey, Nurse Mew! So, is Yuna back up to speed yet?" said a gleeful Pyro.
"No! In fact, someone kidnapped her while I was gone! You have to help me find her!"
"Oh, great.. Just what we need..." Kero groaned. He hated trying to find something. It was so tedious. But this time he had to find her. Somehow.
A long time of searching and calling out to poor Yuna ensued. "This is terrible... Oh dear-" She tripped over a rock and landed on her face. Muffled laughter followed. "Hmmpf... Hahmmph... hah, hah HAH...!"
Meanwhile, the gang heard the calls of them. Their enemies were not to far behind, and Ivysaur started to panic.
"Hurry up, you idiots! We've gotta move on and get to the river or they'll catch us!" Electabuzz and Donphan groaned, pacing ever more faster to Yuna's upcoming doom.
The others were indeed not to far behind, but suddenly they started going the wrong direction. They didn't know who was the culprit or even where they were going. "Hey... Nurse Mew, what's that on your foot...?" Kero took it from her. "Looks like a paper..." He unfolded it and read it. It said;
---- TO THE UNWARY POKEMON THAT READS THIS MESSAGE:
Hah! We've stolen that stupid Yuna and you can't do anything about it! We're going to the river, and we're going to kill her by throwing her in the river! You'd better hurry up, fools! She's weak, and she's going to be bashed to a pulp once she reaches the rocks. Heh! I bet you're trying to FIND her. Nice idea guys, but you don't know where we're going! Oh... wait, you do. But when you get there you'll be too late!
Later losers.
Signed,
Us ----
"Oh, great. They go to the river to kill Yuna AND make fun of us..." Kero sighed, and suddenly thought of something. The river wasn't too far from were they were, and they could still catch up to them if the kidnappers hadn't gotten to the river yet or even thrown her in it. Kero KNEW they would get her back, but he also knew anything could happen.
"Hey guys, we gotta go further up to get the kidnappers. Remember, they're going to the river so upwards is the best bet we'll have of getting there before they do. Let's go!"
Nurse Mew, Pyro and Kero ran as fast as their legs could carry them to the river.
They heard faint cries of a pokemon.
"YUNA!!!" Kero ran, and ran...
But only found a dying spearow as it coughed up blood.
"That's gonna hurt in the morning," Pyro joked.
"Oh, dear. We should heal this pokemon at once," Mew said sadly.
"We have OTHER things to worry about, Nurse Mew." Sighed Kero, looking at the injured Pokemon.
"We can't just leave him here..."
"Oh, alright. Just make it quick."
The kind Nurse Mew healed him. Kero looked at the now healthy Spearow.
"Spearow, have you seen some pokemon with a hurt Umbreon over here?" He looked at the Spearow, hopefully.
The spearow spoke with a squawk-ish ring to it.
"Yas," He said, "I hawv. 'Dey went daddawahy!" Spearow spread a wing and with it, pointed to the misty distance in front of them.
"Can you tell us what they looked like?"
"Yas." Spearow coughed. "There was an Ivysaur. An Electabuzz. And a Donphan. 'Dey beet me up and tol' me not to tell you!" Spearow sighed. "I go now." He flew past the tree-tops, waving to the three pokemon.
"Thanks!" They all called out.
"Well, then... those stupid theives thought they could stop us by taking Yuna! Let's give 'em a peice of our minds!"
They ran off into the mist.
"Ah! We're here!" Donphan heaved a heavy sigh of relief as he dropped Yuna off his back.
"Well? Throw it in!" Ivysaur demanded.
"No way, tired... walking up hills with an almost dead Umbreon on your back that's struggling to get off is no easy task!"
Ivysaur was angry. They had no time to waste. He hoped the Spearow hadn't told the Umbreon's friends.
"A-HA! We've got you!"
"WHAT?" Ivysaur turned around seeing the angered Pokemon looking, well, extremely pissed off.
"Thought you could get out, eh? Thought you could escape us? Well, we're gonna KICK YOUR ASSES TO HELL!"
While all this was happening, Donphan had already pushed Yuna into the death hole that was her fate.
"Hey! No fair! Pyro, you can hold those losers off. It's time to go!" Kero quickly ordered and raced off.
He could barely see Yuna as she was swept away. She was conscious, but too weak to swim to saftey. She was caught in a rapid current and could barely fight back.
She was just about to have her fate sealed as a huge bundle of rocks were place before the river, and even worse - a waterfall. If Kero didn't act fast, Yuna would be dead meat. With a final attempt, Kero leapt in.
He gasped for air as he swam to Yuna. "Gotcha!" He said, putting her on his back and safely manouvering the rocks. All that was left was the waterfall.. but Kero forgot about it. He was going to reach the edge, anyway. Nothing bad would happen... Or so he thought. Suddenly, Yuna slipped from his safe grasp. "YUNA!" Kero jumped into the water once more, trying to swim to Yuna in hopes of getting her safely onto the ground once more.
Yuna was almost over the edge. She quickly grabbed a rock, hanging by a mere thread. A few thin streams of blood escaped from her wounded paws and washed out onto the waterfall. She cried out in pain as she could no longer sustain the tension of trying to hang on.
"Yuna! Hold on!" Kero wailed and leaped in, clawing on the same rock, barely getting on it successfully.
He reached out with his paw.
"Yuna! grab my paw!" The weak Umbreon slowly tried to bring her hand up to meet his...
But instead washed out into the raging river.
Yuna was dangerously near the waterfall now, out of Kero's grasp as he tried to catch her by jumping on other rocks that happened to be there.
"NO! YUNA!" Kero reflexively jumped to his doom in an attempt to save her.
(Yuna's thoughts
I can't breath... I need air... Please, someone, help me... I was gasping for every breath I could get - which was indeed limited as I was falling down the waterfall at great speeds, every time, every moment shouting, screaming for help, but I was in vain... I knew nobody could hear me, could help me... I couldn't take it any longer, and closed my eyes, waiting for the terrible pain, the slow, remorseless pain that awaited me... and heard a wind whipping through my ears, and the rush of water was starting to fade... I was somehow floating. Not floating, being carried. I opened my eyes...)
"Oh, shutup. Yuna's hurt. We gotta take her to the Pokemon Center!" He sighed and walked on.
"Ah! There it is! Look!" Kero turned to look Pyro's direction. A huge, white building with a 'P' on it and some Pokemon were on the very top of it. They walked in.
