Even as the rain was pouring on him, his firey tail was still lighting up with flames. He looked at Crystal and saw how scared she was. She didn't move at all.
Come on I've gotta do it, for Crystal. She was willing to be my friend and I'm gonna be hers.
You're not hopeless, that is the only attack that would be effective against Razor.
Try, come on you have to try!
Shiloh's muscles were tense. He had no choice,
he had to use Flamethrower now or it would mean Crystal's life.
"Any last words?!" Crystal didn't budge. "I thought not."
Shiloh shouted, "Hey Razor! Over here!"
"Huh, you? You want to fight with me"
he challenged.
"Yeah! Take some of this!"
Come on Shiloh, there's a flame within you that's just dyin' to come out!
The little Charmander was still. Shiloh summed up all his energy into one powerful Fire Blast. The next thing he knew Razor was wiped out, sweating and panting.
He was badly burned.
"I'll be back and I won't forget this!" Razor yelled, "If you do not get those berries then your family is dead!"
"N-no don't, I will get th-those berries for you and b-bring them to you," Crystal agreed, shakily.
"You have four days to get them. Shadow Clan, back to camp," Razor ordered.
Shadow Clan retreated into the loomy darkness of the trees, heading back to where they came from.
Crystal looked around, "Shiloh? Where are you, Shiloh?"
"I'm over here," Shiloh said wearily. He was now weak from the rain and from his attack as well.
"Shiloh your tail, it's barely lit, come on we need to get you out of this rain."
"I could carry him on my back and fly him back to the clan," Tavius insisted,"I'm sure they could help."
"Thankyou for your kindness."
Tavius said, "It's the least we could do scince you drove off Shadow Clan."
She nodded and scampered off for Feather Clan.
The Feather Clan was active with exitement and fear. No one knew if they'd make it back.
"Did they make it mother?" a baby Pidgey asked.
She replied, "I don't know. I really don't know."
"Mother is that them?"
Tavius was carrying Shiloh and Crystal wasn't far behind. Pandimonium filled the air as they entered the campsite.
"Tavius, I'm so glad you're back!" Aren was happy to see him.
"Save the welcomes for later. Crystal's friend is hurt, we-" "Can you help him?" she interupted.
Aren looked at Shiloh, "Hurry, bring him into this hollow tree."
Tavius did as he was instructed. Aren brought some leaves to warm up his body tempurature.
She also gave him whatever healing berries they had, they didn't have much. Crystal stood by Shiloh's side the whole time. Then Aren finally gave Crystal the news.
Crysta asked, "Will he be okay?" She paused then said,"He'll be fine but he needs to rest a while."
"I won't wake him," Crystal promised.
"Well then, we can all get some sleep now,"
Aren was sweating.
"Yep," she agreed.
Crystal headed toward the tree that Shiloh was sleeping in. She laid down in front him. Crystal was about to go to sleep when she noticed something. Shiloh was shaking.
Poor Shiloh, he must be cold.
Crystal got up and laid close enough for her fur to reach Shiloh's chest. He stopped shivering.
Good night.
Shiloh awoke to the sound of thunder.
Ouch! My head hurts so much. It's still raining, so why don't I feel cold?
Shiloh felt something furry pressing against him.
There Crystal was, curled up next to him.
Shiloh was a little surprised. He was going to get up but he didn't want to wake Crystal so he stayed.
Thanks Crystal, thinking she would somehow hear him.
Shiloh slowly drifted to sleep.
