Same as last time. I am taking some liberties on how the stylus actually works, though I tried to stay true to how it looks on the anime.

The Lyra Forest is, as anyone will tell you, a natural labyrinth. I made it like that for a reason - so I would not be found. Many humans over the years had been taking their chances with the forest, and a few had gotten lost in the process, only to be returned to the entrance by the wild Weepinbell. It was my job to keep the forest safe and peaceful, and in return the humans had created a shrine to me, leaving little rice balls there for me to eat.
I had been relaxing at my shrine, nibbling daintily on a rice ball, when the humans had grabbed me.
All of a sudden, a white circle trapped me. I had seen this happen before, to other Pokemon who lived in Lyra Forest with me - Rangers would come and calm down or ask the help of Pokemon with these special lines. Though, the humans that were trapping me didn't look like any Rangers I had ever seen before. They wore these absurd white outfits, and yelled at me as I attacked their lines.
No, I decided, these weren't Rangers at all., which is why I snapped the Styler of the one attacking me and hovered backwards a short distance, instantly wary. I had never been captured before, only seen it done, but I didn't think it would feel so horrible. Set back for only a moment, the white-clothed humans used another Stylus to try and capture me again.
It seemed that someone had noticed my troubles - it wasn't long before a real Ranger showed up, yelling angrily at the guy capturing me. Boy, was I glad to see her! She distracted the weird people with her angry voice while I made my quick escape, chirping fearfully - truth be told, I was intimidated by the odd people who had suddenly started attacking me, small as I am. And the capture had hurt, too!
However, a few minutes later, they were back, screaming at me to come back to them and let myself be captured. Whimpering, I zoomed away, hiding myself amongst the verdant plant life. From a distance I could see the girl Ranger clearing up a few pathways that had been blocked off earlier, and fighting some of the weird men, who each ran off once she had captured their Pokemon.
Standing next to the girl, I noticed another Ranger. He was fairly short with orange hair, and had this round face and dazed look that made me giggle. He just looked so silly. However, I didn't giggle for long, as the noise attracted my enemies, who almost instantly found my hiding place. Shrieking, I tried to fly away, but they had me cornered. The two Rangers noticed me and rushed over to help, but I was already in the process of breaking a Styler.
The whole thing threw me in a state of panic. The second the white circles disappeared, I flew away, hurt and completely terrified. The round-faced boy said something to the girl, and so the chase began.
My limp wings were nearly useless at this point, only barely keeping me in the air, and only pure terror keeping me moving. Exhausted, I looked behind me, then upon seeing no sign of the two humans came to rest by a tree. Moments later, a Ninjask zipped out of its hiding place amongst the leaves, yelling frantically, and only then did I see her approaching. The capture initiated without me having any say in the matter, I had no choice but to let her try to capture me.
Three circles were all it took to keep me down in this pathetic state. I cried out once, then let the energy from the circles restore my strength. Feeling better, I smiled at the two Rangers, chirped my thanks, and hovered back to my shrine, where the rice ball I had started eating earlier was still waiting for me.
The next time the round-faced Ranger entered Lyra Forest, I hummed happily from a sheltered bush, which caused him to spin around in shock, notice that no-one was there, and then fall over. Well, I couldn't help but giggle…

Yes, I know this one was shorter. I have a feeling Mew's chapter will be absolutely huge, though. Fingers crossed!
