Chapter 2
The rather large beast pokemon stared back at the old man, watching, glaring.
There were floating things that came and went about in the air, they all had an eye and looked like symbols and surrounded them before vanishing into thin air.
The old man stood frozen as the Entei slowly approached with a stare stern and as serious as that of a wild and dangerous beast.
Then it stopped yards away, and spoke with a loud yet low, deep voice without mouthing words, as if telepathically.
"I offer my hospitality, yet you tread my roses…"
Looking at the rose the old man held with trembling hands, "And currently you hold my most precious one…"
The old man then begged to be forgiven for such intrusion and carelessness to trespass his rose bush and cut one unintentionally.
That he had only done so because he wanted to give his daughter a rose as a gift.
Upon hearing he mention a daughter, the Entei took a step and asked again to make sure.
The old man responded positively, "Yes, Belle, she is my oldest and most precious who as of right now cares for my sick old wife… I must return as soon."
The Entei then jumped and blocked the gates, impeding them exit under one condition, "I shall let you go, under one condition; you send your daughter here to me. If not, I shall pursue you dead…"
A scared and trembling old man thought of nothing else but the wellbeing of his whole family, his awaiting of the herbs and their being unaware of where he was now.
The old man agreed, and he mounted his Rapidash and the Entei stood aside to let the old man through, escorting him safely out of the forest.
Entei stopped at the edge, seeing the old man and his horse walk back to where they had come from.
The old man turned to look and saw a retreating beast, somewhat relieved but still unnerved as he now had to keep his word by sending his daughter Belle to the stranger's castle.
