Chapter Two
There once was a time in my childhood when I fell into a lake full of Carvanha and Sharpedo.
Our family had gone for a picnic near the lake, and I wanted to play in the water. Of course, my mother said no - though I wouldn't take that for an answer. After lying that I had to use the bathroom, I snuck through the trees and arrived at the deeper end of the lake.
As soon as I arrived, I plunged my feet into the icy cold depths, enjoying the refreshing feeling of water. Almost immediately, though, something tickled my foot. I swiped my hand through the water and a blinding pain raced through my arm. A high-pitched wail escaped me as tears rolled down my face.
Suddenly, a blue and red figure leaped out of the water and latched onto the collar of my t-shirt. It flipped backwards, spikes slashing my face, and I toppled into the water after it.
After falling in the lake, the most dreaded moment of my life whirled by in a surreal flash. Carvanha and Sharpedo simultaneously attacked me. Being a child, I couldn't defend myself very well, and my father's Lapras barely arrived in time to save me from the terrifying jaws of death.
Once he fished me out, though, the Carvanha were still not satisfied. They continued to snap their jaws at Lapras, sending the blue Pokemon into a state of confusion, which, in turn, threw me off its back. After splashing back into the water once again, a Sharpedo, fed up with the ruckus shot out of the depths of the lake, and slammed into me.
This huge act of aggression caused my father to dive in to save me, at the risk of his life. Luckily, we got away from the menace and flung ourselves onto the land. Never, since that moment, had I felt this kind of fright until now, with mountains of tiny Ariados eggs surrounding me.
By the time I had regained my courage enough to move, there were at least a hundred Ariados mere feet away from me, each one snapping their jaws hungrily at the prospect of blood. "Aaaarrrriaadosssss," one of them, who was presumably the leader, hissed. "Let me drrrink your blooddddd."
Finally, my wits seemed to come around. There was no possible way Ariados eggs could hatch that fast. It seemed even more unlikely that they could talk - unless Greevil had come up with another way to be even crueler to Pokemon.
After quickly considering whether or not I would attempt to fight off the vile creatures, I realized that they would easily overwhelm my precious Pokemon by sheer numbers. I also felt an invisible evil force at work, crueler than the Ariados, sending shivers down my spine. In a swift and practiced motion, I called out Charizard.
The noble creature spread his magnificent wings and swooped down to lift me onto his back. After liftoff, however, little did I know that I would have been better off fending for myself rather than sending out another Pokemon.
A couple of the Ariados had clambered on to Charizard's back with me, though that wasn't the real problem. Many of the spiders had shot up a spider web that stuck to my Pokemon's pale yellow stomach. They then proceeded to pull themselves up, each one's eyes gleaming hopefully at the thought of blood.
The additional weight of multiple Ariados immediately began to drag the fiery Pokemon down. Soon enough, so many of the spiders had crawled up that Charizard was pulled to the ground and didn't get up. Of course, I was on his back - so naturally I hit the ground hard and got a face full of Ariados as I rolled off.
I tried to sit up, dazed, but the overwhelming weight of the Pokemon kept me down. Suddenly, the Ariados parted a bit to reveal the leader again. The leader crawled onto my shoulder and set it's fangs on my arm, not deep enough to go through the skin, but enough for me to feel the cold, sharp teeth.
Out of my peripheral vision I saw Charizard faint as the Ariados dug their fangs into his skin. I snapped my eyes shut, not brave enough to see my Pokemon in such pain. The leader Ariados reminded me that I wasn't exactly homefree, though. In the small moment of time my attention had been on Charizard, it dug its fangs deeper into my skin, till it pierced it and drew blood.
Pain so strong it made me dizzy shot through my arm. As if on cue, the other Ariados began to bite me, sending powerful venom and pain through my body. I squeezed my eyes shut, my mind went blank, and I blacked out with several Ariados digging their poisonous fangs into my skin.
