With midday approaching, three figures stood at the entrance of Lake Valor. Roars and splashing could be heard subside inside. The pokemon ranger with the cowboy hat stepped forth. "Remember, we came here to calm down a pair of Gyarados spotted in the area." Frank faced his younger apprentice. "That means no playing around Rook. These aren't gentle pokemon."
"I don't see why your so worried, there only fish," the boy protested as he followed Frank to the waters edge. "Besides, I don't see any Gyarados. They must have gotten bored and..." Two huge serpentine bodies shot out of the water snapping their teeth at each other. "...left." A beam of energy exploded feet away from where Rook was, sending the boy hurling away. Fortunately, Frank managed to catch the boy.
"Stay back," a calm voice filled the air. the Blaziken continued."Their fighting for the female at the opposite side of the lake."
"We can't just stand around and do nothing," the Rook yelled. "The lake could be destroyed."
"Blaziken's right. See how the two Gyarados are panting. This fight will probably end soon. That's when we step in if necessary."
Ten minutes later, after dozens of hyper beams, bites, and twisters, the younger of the two serpentine pokemon backed down. The older one swam proudly towards the female Gyarados. Out of the blue, the younger pokemon began charging another hyper beam aimed precisely at the older ones back and fired.
"Your fight's over." In one leap, Blaziken sent the young Gyarados flying through the air with a blaze kick.
"Woah! That was so cool," Rook exclaimed as he ran to Blaziken's side.
"Wait Rook! It's not safe!" To Frank's horror, the serpentine pokemon rose out of the water, hyper beam fully charged. Blaziken pushed Rook away, just as the beam caught Blaziken on the back. Frank pulled out his styler in a flash, launching a capture disk at the Gyarados. Within seconds, Frank had the wild pokemon captured. "You've done quite enough, Gyarados. You should go home and rest." The wild disappeared under the water.
"Oh no, Blaziken!" Rook tugged at Frank's shirt. "We have to find him! He could be hurt."
"Don't worry...I've taken worse..." Blaziken limped next to Rook. A red aura was beginning to fade. "You should be...more careful next time..." Before the boy could respond, Blaziken fell to the ground unconscious.
I hope I never have to say Gyarados again.
