"Riffin?! Teddybear?! Dimples?! ANYBODY?!"

I had been screaming in this unknown forest for a long time, I knew this because I began to see the sun rise above the remaining trees of the forest.

I was slightly relieved because it would make it easier to find Riffin. He couldn't be dead right? He had disappeared before the Yveltal even attacked!

...why did that sound suspicious?

I heard shuffles in the grass and jumped back and snarled. No way I was going to get killed and not know what happened to Riffin!

"Stay back!" I barked as intimidating as I could.

"No wait! I'm not one of Gerard's Pack!" A masculine voice yelped. "I'm a Grovyle named Fig! I'm just an ordinary Pokémon!"

Gerard's Pack?

"Then get out of those bushes." I growled.

The bushes shook and a skinny Grovyle tip-toed into view standing before me with wide amber eyes.

"How did you know I wasn't part of this 'Gerard's' pack?" I asked him.

"I could smell humans on you, which to be honest made you seem more dangerous." Fig admitted. "They train their Pokémon into the most bloodthirsty creatures I've ever seen."

Oh really?

"Well, I'm no different." I lied. "I'm very vicious, I killed my owners!"

Fig flinched like it was fatal to even be in the same space as me. I was pleased that he took my lie and he looked ready to run when I put my paw on his tail-leaves to keep him from escaping.

"Oh no, you will help me find my mate and then I'll let you go!" I hissed.

"Yes ma'am." Fig squeaked.

"You'll walk in front of me so you can't run out of my sight. Now move." I snapped.

Fig flinched and immediately began moving with me following. How could I be this cruel?

Turns out this was only the beginning, and there was no way I could change my future.

"What species is your mate?" Fig asked nervously.

"Fufrou."

"Wow, those are the pampered breeds." Fig rambled. "The most spoiled species I've ever-"

"Will you shut up!" I snarled, making Fig immediately do so. "Riffin is the most misunderstood Pokémon I met, he's really kind and handsome, and I will not let you talk about him like that! Got it?!"

"Y-yes, Alpha." Fig whimpered.

Alpha? Then again, I did make the pathetic green creature submit and obey my orders. Maybe he can assist me and Riffin when I find him.

Then, I caught his scent but at the same time Fig stopped and he started shaking.

"Hey! What gives you pipsqueak?!" I hissed at Fig. "Riffin is close, I can smell it!"

"So is Gerard's Pack!" Fig squeaked.

They're probably hurting Riffin!

I shoved Fig out of the way and bolted in the direction of the two scents. I don't care how fearsome this pack was, I wasn't going to leave my mate behind.

I leaped into a clearing crowded with fierce Pokémon and saw a 10% forme Zygarde facing Riffin. I yowled in fear and pounced on the Zygarde.

"Gerard!" I heard some of the pack gasp. So I'm fighting the leader of the pack? Serves him right for trying to hurt my Riffin!

All of their cries were tuned out as Gerard bounced back and slapped me in the face sending me flying. I yelled in pain but I couldn't let him hurt Riffin!

Why weren't any of Gerard's Pack helping him? Perhaps they think this is a show for dominance. Well so be it.

I ran to Gerard and as he opened his jaws I used my head blade to slice open his mouth. The legendary beast gave a sharp gasp and fell on the ground bleeding from the mouth and I put one paw over him.

"Alice, what do you think you're doing?!" Riffin barked running to me, then he turned to face the dying legendary. "Alpha, who's in charge of our pack now?!"

Alpha? What the-

"Ha...hrrgh!" Gerard spat, unable to speak. Riffin opened his mouth to ask again but the light disappeared from Gerard's eyes indicating that he was dead. But I didn't care, Riffin had some explaining to do.

"Healer? Who is our Alpha?" Riffin asked as a Audino and a Linoone approached us.

"If the Alpha dies without a Beta in place, then the successor is the one that killed the Alpha." Healer explained. "You should know that Riffin."

"Riffin? Why did you join this pack?" I asked him fiercely, then my eyes widened as I realized what the Healer said. "W-wait, I'm the Alpha of this pack now?"

"Do you know Riffin? He's my mate." The Linoone said, walking up to Riffin and purring against him.

Oh no, she didn't.

"Is this true?" I whispered looking at Riffin who still wasn't answering.

His fur stood on end and he looked at the Linoone and then me. Is he kidding me?!

"Who is this Linoone?!" I hissed at the pack Healer.

"Daffodil." Healer replied.

I wanted to command members of my new pack but I didn't even know their names. Finally, I looked to a Charizard and a shiny Haxorus and pointed a claw towards them.

"You two! Pin Riffin down now!" I snapped. "I killed your previous Alpha, so do what I say!"

After brief hesitation, the two brutes ran and knocked over Riffin. The Charizard put his claws on Riffin's shoulders while the shiny Haxorus put his on Riffin's hips.

"Riffy!" Daffodil cried. Ugh! How dare she call him that?!

She ran towards the two Pokémon holding Riffin down but I jumped in the way and smirked.

"Go ahead, go around me." I taunted her before I laughed. "I know Linoone can't run in any other direction besides straight. And that'll be your downfall!"

Daffodil began shaking as I walked closer but then she used her big paw to push me aside and continued running to Riffin.

I snarled in anger and grabbed her by the neck fur and yanked her back angrily.

"You're going to regret that!" I growled. "Riffin dear! Get ready to watch me kill your precious mate!"
