They arrived at a large complex with a gray outer dome. They went inside and It walked off and began shouting for status reports "How are we doing on harvesting the Skarmory feathers? What's the status on the Steelix pressure chambers?! What are out levels of mineral water?! We need to make sure our Iron Armor pokemon have adequately strong armor when they shed! Come on people! Give me reports! Steel production needs to keep up! You guys know how poorly we are equipped!"
"General Abhaya!" Smith demanded.
"Sergeant Smith! You forget your rank." He replied coldly.
Smith stared back at Abhaya.
It sighed, "Oh, right, the girl... Bring her to the Madisons. They've been looking to adopt a little girl and they would be perfect for her." the general ordered softly, "Then get back to your station." He finished.
There was screaming, "Breakout in the Steelix pressure chamber!" a man shouted before a giant steelix picked him up and tossed him away. The steelix looked at Abhaya and went straight for him, ignoring all the men between them. Their weapons and the pokemon attacks bouncing off the Steelix's body. It rose up and dove towards Abhaya to strike.
It stopped. Three inches short of striking. It began to twitch like the man Abhaya killed, it suddenly went limp and Abhaya spun, kicking it aside, "Boys! Rebuild the Steelix pen! Use this one to do it! It should be sufficient for containing them!" He placed his foot on the Steelix's head, "We're gonna melt you down my friend, I hope you had plenty of children while you were in there."
Smith clicked his tongue at the Metagross, leading it away from the complex. They went out to peaceful farmland, various pokemon were being raised and cared for, Bouffalant, Phanpy, Tauros, Miltank. They passed by these farms and entered into a forest, Kyra began to doze off. Smith could feel exhaustion threatening to claim him and shook his head. He sniffed, knowing that the promise of coffee awaited him.
A breloom leading a pack of shroomish walked in front of him as he began going deeper and deeper into the undergrowth. Wild tangelas and tangrowths hung from the trees.
A pack of Sawsbuck were hanging around outside what would soon be her new home in their spring coats. Metagross slowed and stopped just in front of the porch. The humble wooden house was overgrown with vines and other vegetation. There was a single glass window looking out to the front yard and a slanted door which seemed like it would never shut all the way.
It had been more than a day since they pulled her from what was once her home and Smith was grateful that his station was almost over for the night despite what Abhaya said.
He was slowly lifted in the air and set in front of the door with Kyra. He knocked on the moss covered wooden door.
A blonde and a redhead slowly opened the door. The blonde woman was quite thin while the redhead was fit and muscular, the redhead wore a green dress with a pleated skirt, the blonde wore a blue dress.. The blonde took Kyra out of Smith's arms, "Well, we hadn't been expecting that we would be getting an orphan in this state, it must have been hard out there for her."
"Sarah! I'm going to give her a bath!" The blonde shouted from somewhere unseen.
"Ok." Sarah shouted back, "Put her in one of your shirts after, she'd get lost in one of mine, and I'm not having a child running around in a burlap sack!" She turned back to Smith, "Well, Ashley is taking care of her for now, but I'm gonna need to make her some new clothes, feel like helping me find and take down a tangrowth?" She asked.
"I do, but general Abhaya said I'm to get back to my post after dropping her off with you." Smith replied.
"I understand, well, don't work too hard." She said with a smile, walking into the forest, disappearing into the brush.
Smith nodded before going back to his watch post.
