It has been a few days ever since the Mightyena attack, and Oakley has been training furthermore with her Snubbull friend, Penny. Without Vivian around, Oakley knew that the training made it difficult.

With Griff nowhere to be seen nor his Sneasel clan members, it thankfully made it easier for the town to stock up on berries and other items without any thieves.

Rai on the other hand, is somewhere else with his mate, carrying a couple of their pups; one another Yamper, and the other a Rockruff. Oakley loved her siblings, and she cared for them when she got older and older. As time passed her siblings were brought into the Pokemon world.

Underneath a cherry blossom tree stood Penny, completely silent. She was waiting for the shiny Tyrogue to be discharged from the hospital. Adir was a true fighter, and he does not deserve to be tortured in any way.

With the age equivalence of a young adult, Adir can quite put up a fight. He has to come out of there. He has to!

This was torture not for Penny, but for Oakley as well. Without Vivian or Adir, she would end up forming a rescue team with only her shiny Snubbull friend.

The bulldog threw her head back only for her to jolt back and turned around to see the Stoutland, leaving the hospital lobby with a bagg wrapped around his neck. "W-What's with that bag, big guy?"

"Miss, the name is Doc.." The Stoutland responded. "I have this bag wrapped around me it's because..Adir is leaving.."

Penny thought the shiny Tyrogue was dead at first; still not understanding how severely wounded Adir was. "WAIT- HE'S GONE!? N-NAH- DON'T TELL ME-"

"STOP!" Yelled the Stoutland as he placed a paw onto the Snubbull's shoulder. "Arceus is not taking Adir.. What I'm saying is that- Adir is leaving the hospital.."

Penny then sighed in relief. "Oh thank Lunala's light. I thought he was dead.."

"You may wish to see him.." Doc replied as he led Penny inside the emergency room hallway. The door to each patient were seen across while the two were walking. To make things easier to notice, each sticker resembled a patient remaining in separate rooms available. A few moments in, the two finally stopped at the door where it led to a room; Adir's room.

"This is where Adir is in at the moment." Doc started, pointing an informative claw towards the glass window. "He's got his stuff packed up, so you may wish to see him before he leaves."

Penny swallowed a large lump in her throat before putting her paw against the doorknob. She let out a low sigh and turned the knob around, slowly opening the door in the process. She poked her head against the doorway, and just as she came in, she gasped lightly as she saw the large bandage wrapped around Adir's upper body.

"A-Adir..what-" Penny shook as she tried to speak, but was soon cut off as the shiny Tyrogue placed a hand onto her head.

"It's..it's too much.." Adir sighed sadly, turning around to the blood-stained bandage on his upper shoulder. "They had to..amputate it.."

"THEY..WHAT!?" Penny let out a yelp, now shocked to find out that Adir's left arm had to be cut off. "HOW..HOW COULD THEY- WHA- HOW!?"

"It's all they can do, little Snubbull.." Adir turned away from the shiny bulldog before grabbing his bag. "They said the bite is too deep and open, and it'll get infected. Without a choice, they just had to make me become a one-arm.."

"B-BUT, WHY!?" Penny let out a terrified yelp. "Can't they just heal it instead!?"

"They tried to, but it takes longer to do so; especially with deep and open wounds.." Adir felt his tears prick his eyes, fully understanding why. "I'm..I'm a one-arm now.."

She thought for a moment. She trusted a shiny Tyrogue before he became a one-arm. How is she going to let Adir survive without one?

"It was wrong, but they just..had to do it.." Adir started to cry, wiping tears from his eyes.

"I don't know if Oakley's going to feel the same way like you do.." Penny spoke softly. "If she finds out, she might feel the same way as you are."

"I couldn't tell if that Mightyena broke my arm or not, but that bite must've been a whole lot to deal with.." Adir soon turned the doorknob and left the room, leaving Penny behind.

As soon as Adir was out of the medbay, Penny ran up to him, losing track of the shiny one-arm. "WAIT! ADIR!"

Adir stopped and watched the Yamper get closer to him. Was it Oakley, or was it her sibling? Turns out, it was just the same Yamper he'd seen a few days ago, running over to him with concern in her eyes. "Adir! Are you-"

She paused to look at the blood-stained bandage wrapped around his shoulder. "Oakley, they had to amputate it.."

Oakley was speechless. She stared at the blood-stained gauze, recalling a certain event that caused her father to be sent to the medbay for medical treatment. "My...my Dad suffered the same situation before.."

"What? The Mightyena fight from a few days ago?" The shiny Tyrogue asked, still not knowing what Oakley was talking about.

"No..the Weavile fight. That sent him to the medbay for his wounds.."

"The...Weavile?" Adir asked, unaware of the species Oakley had mentioned.

"I met that same Weavile from before. He was tall, he was big, and he even tried to protect my friend from it.."

Adir wasn't sure about the species the Yamper had mentioned. He was born outside of Stone Town, so he hasn't experienced any Weavile or Sneasel fights before. Before his parents passed from a Zoroark outbreak, Adir had to end up leaving his home before finding what was comfortable for him.

"So you met that outsider that was from a faraway forest.." Adir curled his face into a growl.

"It's not like she's going to hurt you, Adir!" Oakley protested back.

Adir let out a low groan, still not understanding what Oakley was explaining about. "Okay, look. How about we can just go around the Might Fang Territory, then we'll find that Sneasel you're talking about."

"YAY!" The Yamper began spinning around in circles only for Penny to stop her. "This is gonna be so much fun!"

"How about we can just..form a rescue team with Adir?" Penny asked, hoping the shiny Tyrogue could join in with the two dogs.

Without a choice, Adir had to accept Penny's decision with a nod in response. "Alright, fine. Let's just form a rescue team, find the Sneasel Oakley's talking about, then we'll go straight home. Clear?"

Both the Yamper and the Snubbull nodded in response. "Alright. Rescue-"

"TEAM BLYTZ!" Oakley shouted, stopping the Tyrogue from finishing his sentence. Adir was about to scold Oakley for interrupting him, but he was confused on the team name she'd come up with.

"Wait.. Where'd you come up with that?" Adir asked, confused.

"Wellllll..." Oakley started before she could say anything else. "With that Wild Charge move I've learned a few days ago, I decided to come up with that name!"

With the name she'd come up with unconvincingly, Adir let out a long sigh and understood what she'd meant. "Alright..Team Blytz it is.."

"RESCUE TEAM BLYTZ! RISE UP!" Yelled Oakley as she began to lead both Penny and Adir from the outside of the medbay, walking over to the same route where it led to, "Might Fang Territory".

"Dude, that's the same route I was almost killed in.." Adir growled, crossing his arms.

"Adir, you said that we need to go around the Mightyena's territory, then we'll go back to the Weavile territory her friend's at right now." Penny scoffed, tugging Adir by his arm.

"Well, I changed my mind.. We're not going back to where I was almost killed at." Adir spat as he grabbed Penny out of the path. "We're going straight to where it led to the-"

Adir thought for a moment. He opened his mouth to talk, only for Oakley to finish it for him. "The pond where Vivian and I are at!"

"And who's..."

"My friend! Vivian's my friend!" Oakley responded back.

"Vivian.. a Sneasel you met before.." Said the shiny Tyrogue. "And you befriended an outcast."

"Adir, less talking and more exploring. We're a rescue team for Solgaleo's sake!" Penny snapped as she raised a paw to slap him, but alas, she was too small to do so.

"And you're too short to slap me, shorty.."

"ENOUGH!" Oakley shouted, giving both victims her attention. "I just want you to see Vivian, alright? She's my friend! It's not like she's gonna hurt you guys!"

Penny and Adir both let out annoyed sighs. "You know what, fine. Let's just get this over with.." Penny replied as he tugged onto the Tyrogue's arm.

Just as the trio was about to leave Stone Town, they all stopped to find not Rai, but a different Pokemon standing in front of them. It appeared to be a Chesnaught, on patrol to make sure no outsiders were around. "You kids explorin'?" The Chesnaught guard asked.

"Yep, yep!" Oakley barked. "We're just looking for some bad guys to beat up!"

"Oakley, don't-" Adir tried to stop Oakley from saying something else, but to no avail.

"We're lookin' to kick some Sneasel butts!"

The Chesnaught gaurd thought for a few moments. Is he going to trust these three Pokemon into letting them explore all on their own? At first he was going to say "No", but with Oakley's lie, he just had to accept it. "Alright, kids. Go ahead and explore. Just don't get separated, alright!?"

"WE WON'T!" Barked the shiny Snubbull as they finally got past the guard. "I'm not a kid.."

"Neither do I.." Adir spat. "I'm like..a young adult!"

Oakley noticed the everstone necklace that was wrapped around his neck. "Is that an everstone? I wish I had one of those!"

"You know an everstone is to prevent others from evolving.." Penny says, as a matter of fact. "Besides, if I had an everstone right now, I wouldn't even evolve into some Granbull with an ugly shiny form."

The trio soon reached where Oakley had met her friend, the pond. "And this is where I had a conversation with Vivian!"

"The pond here looks promising.." Adir said in awe, staring at his reflection in the water. "And it looks pretty cool enough to see your reflection with."

"I know! It's not good for swimming, but the water's nice and clean!" Oakley spoke in glee as she dipped her paw into the pond water. "And cold too!"

"Probably because it's still Spring." Adir responded. "The water gets warmer and warmer when it's Summertime."

"Adir's right. We can't obviously go into the water right now." Penny said as she went over to the Yamper. "Not because it's cold, but we have a Sneasel to meet."

Oakley swings her paw out of the pond before running back to Adir. "If we're lost, then where else do we stay?"

"Well, if we're lost, then we shall find a town that's comfortable enough for us to stay at." Adir answered. "Some towns have hot springs out there."

"THEY DO!?" Oakley shook in awe.

"Yep. They don't have hot spring baths here in my home town, but I heard that it's good for sore muscles."

"Do they have a buffet there?"

"Nope.." Adir argued. "We're only here to talk about what they have somewhere else."

"Then what else do they have!?"

"I'm not having this conversation again, Oakley.." Adir spat, ending the argument.

It took them a few miles to finally find what the Yamper was looking for; the Weavile territory.

"There it is.. Vivian's territory.." Oakley said in a quiet voice. "Does anyone have their attacks ready?"

"Got my bite ready in case." Penny growled.

"Locked and loaded." Adir chuckled deviously, willing to kick some Weavile butt anytime now.

The corgi slowly slides her head against the bushes and locked her eyes upon each Sneasel remaining. She was about to give up when each Sneasel looked nothing like Vivian, until she finally gazed her eyes upon her, sulking on a log stump. "There she is!" Oakley spoke as quiet as she could, sliding her head out of the bushes.

"You found her?" Penny asked.

"She's right on the log stump, sulking!"

However just as the Yamper slid her head against the bushes, the Sneasel looked different. Her feathered-ear was ripped apart and there are blood drips staining her claws. "What's wrong with her?" Asked the confused shiny Tyrogue.

"Adir, she might be hurt.." Oakley's voice was calm and worrying. "Maybe she got-"

Oakley soon noticed the pink feather that was on the ground. "Her ear.." She spoke softly. The Yamper slowly walked over to what appeared to be a Sneasel's ear feather, bitten off by a Mightyena. At first she didn't know what caused this, but after sensing her scent of blood and fur, she then realized what caused this.

"The same Mightyena.." Oakley growled. "The same Mightyena that almost got you and Vivian killed.."

"What!?" Adir shook in surprise, realizing what Oakley had meant. "That Mightyena almost killed that Sneasel too!?"

"Yep." Oakley barked. "At first she got attacked by her leader, but it was that Mightyena all along.."

It took a few minutes for Vivian to finally notice the speaking outside the border. She jolted and hopped out of the stump, sliding her head against the bushes to see Oakley, talking to Adir, the shiny Tyrogue she'd befriended. "Oakley!"

"SHUSH!" Growled the Yamper as she slammed a paw against the Sneasel's muzzle. "You're gonna get yourself in even more trouble!"

"So that's the Sneasel you're talking about?" Penny asked as she finally took notice of the Sneasel next to the Yamper. "What's her name..oh- Vivian!"

"So Vivian's the Sneasel you've been talking about, huh?" Adir asked as he went over to the Sneasel, finally sliding out of the bush border. It took Adir a few moments to notice the fresh scars on her face. "Wow. She must've gone through quite a fight.."

"Either that or the Mightyena.." Oakley protested. "Her scars looked like they hurt a lot.."

Oakley placed a paw against the bloody wounds. It looked like it hurt..a whole lot more than that. "Yep. Definitely more than just a deep wound.."

Adir attempted to open his bag, but as a one-arm it is impossible for him to do so. Penny ran up to him and helped as she opened his bag to grab a gauze out. "Maybe this'll work." Penny said as she proceeded to place the cloth against Vivian's face. "That'll keep the blood from pourin' out."

Vivian let out a painful yelp as Penny placed the cloth against her scars. "I'm just gonna stop the bleeding, I promise.."

"I couldn't even tell if that canine scratched her across the face, or was it someone else who'd done it?" Adir asked, still unaware of how the Sneasel got her facial scars. "I'm guessing it's that-"

"It's the reason why I had to swipe her across the face like that! She could've gotten herself killed from that thing!"

"Sh- wait..guys, I heard something.." Oakley paused as she slides her head against the bushes to see what appeared to be the same Weavile from before; Griff. He was seen arguing with another Weavile, not a female, but one of the clan members that evolved as well! "He's arguing with another Weavile.."

"She just had to run off from my clan and could've gotten herself killed! It's not the Mighty Fang's fault, it's Vivian's fault!"

The confession led Oakley to utter shock. "So it's the Mighty Fang that did all this.."

"If she does that again there's a chance she'll suffer the same fate as other clan members.."

Oakley slides out of the bushes to go back over to Penny. "Penny, I need your help. I can't even fight off any of those Sneasel's alone."

"But what about Adir!? He lost an arm so he can't fight proper-"

"I'll handle it.." Adir let out a slow growl, slowly sliding his whole being out of the bushes. With his bag stored with medical items and rocks in case, he with it closed has to use it in order to knock enemies down. "Alright guys, now come out of there.."

"Except you, Vivian. You stay where you're at.." Both dogs nodded and soon slid themselves out of the bushes, leaving Vivian behind. "We just have to be very quiet.."

Gazing his eyes upon the Weavile arguing to one another, Adir slowly took his bag off his neck before curling his fist around the straps. "I'll go knock this guy out. Penny, distract the others by biting them. Oakley, charge them with that headbutt of yours."

Both Penny and Oakley nodded in response as they watched the shiny Tyrogue take slow steps. He tried to be careful, especially with stronger Weaviles. Both ice-types didn't seem to notice the fighting type as they continued on arguing, and when Griff finally opens his mouth to say something else, he stopped to see his Weavile clan member, pointing a claw over to the Tyrogue.

"What are you pointing at?" Growled Griff, only for the Tyrogue to slam his head with his full explorer bag. With a loud THUD, the Weavile fell onto the ground, and passed out.

"Uhhhh...H-Hi.." A stammer came out of the Weavile's voice, before he was struck in the head by Adir, not with his bag but with his balled-up fist as well. That impact left the clan member to be knocked out. "NOW! PENNY! OAKLEY!"

Hearing the Tyrogue's order, both dogs jumped in and went on with the action. Penny ran in and bit the male Sneasel's leg with his strong jaws, and Oakley was in the purge of headbutting others, not with her electric moves but just her normal type attacks.

Adir struggled to fight off other Sneasels, since he only has one arm, but thanks to both dog Pokemon, it made it easier for him to fight one or another. With a kick, the first Sneasel was knocked out.

One bite and Penny knocked out the other thanks to the sheer pain on its leg from her strong jaws. One tackle from Oakley and it's all over.

Managing to lay several punches on each Sneasel running near him, Adir stopped and turned back at Penny, still keeping his jaws locked on the other female Sneasel's leg. Oakley however managed to knock down a few other clan members remaining, but the fight wasn't over yet.

"Wow.. A lot of Sneasels raised by one Weavile and almost all of us are knocked out thanks to a bunch of kids.." The female Sneasel curled her face into a snarl as she went over to the male. "Those kids are just too strong enough for us to handle three of them."

"Plus, Vivian's a traitor, so let's find and hit 'er with a-"

The male Sneasel tried to conclude his sentence, only for him to be kicked straight in the head. It was Adir, still going on to kick Sneasel and Weavile butt so on. "And don't try to sneak attack our friend.." Was all the Tyrogue could say before he managed to dodge the female's ice attack.

Despite being a one-arm, he actually managed to dodge her attack. Laying another punch across the Sneasel's face, he turned back to gaze upon Oakley, now making sure none other clan members move an inch. It was all before the Yamper could say, "Great work, Adir!"

"Hehe..thanks.." Adir chuckled heartily, before Oakley could watch the last Sneasel walk behind him. "ADIR! LOOK OUT-"

Without having time to look back, the Sneasel remaining in the clan immediately swipes her claws against Adir's back. Thankfully it wasn't enough for him to be knocked out, but it was enough to send a few deep scratches onto his back. With Penny still around watching the wounded Tyrogue struggle to get up, she knew what to do next.

The Snubbull attempted to send a bright beam of light over to the Sneasel, but the ice-type managed to dodge the move. "Is that all you've got, bulldog girl!?" She growled, trying to swipe the Snubbull across her entire being.

Some bulldogs are known to be slow on their feet, but for this Snubbull, Penny dodges each swipe from the Sneasel herself. She tried to jump in and tackle her, but little did she know that as a small dog herself, it wasn't enough to knock out the Dark and Ice type.

Her claws began to frost, and soon enough she swiped the Snubbull across her body, nearly knocking her out as she landed onto the ground. The Snubbull let out a groan as she tried to get up, but to no avail. It appears that this Sneasel remaining in the clan is too strong for the trio to take down.

"What's the matter, corgi? Too scared to tackle me?" The female Sneasel asked deviously, staring at the Yamper with horror in her eyes.

"P-Penny.." She cried, watching her Snubbull friend struggle to get up. "You..you bastard.."

The Yamper's sparks flew across her body, and she jumped in to tackle the intruder, but it dodged the corgi's attack. "Funny. An electric corgi trying to tackle me with Wild Charge. How hilarious.."

She went over to the nearly-unconscious Tyrogue, still struggling to get up once more. "Don't worry, little boy. You'll suffer the same fate like that 'Yena did last time.."

"Bastard.." Oakley cursed, giving her attacker attention. The Sneasel turned around to glare at the Yamper, about to make her move. "You..bastard.. DON'T YOU DARE KILL ANY OF MY FRIENDS!"

"And why not?"

"By Lunala's light, you'll never win.." Oakley let out a growl.

"Tch- And what's that supposed to-" Just before the female Sneasel could finish her sentence, the corgi appeared to be missing. "Hmph..you can run, but you cannot hide!"

Still no answer. The corgi appeared to be missing, but by realizing the hole in front of her, she already knew that the corgi was hiding from her. Letting out a devious laugh, she finally went over to the Tyrogue, a black and purple beam of light forming across her claws. "Well, if you're not going to fight back, then maybe this'll teach you a lesson."

Adir struggled to move an inch, still one-armed. "Y-You..can't..do this.."

"Don't worry.." Said the female with a low growl. "This'll be quick.."

As she was about to swipe her claw against the Tyrogue, the ground started to rumble. She stopped and looked around to figure out what caused it. At first it was one of Vivian's pranks, but it turns out it wasn't just that. Without time to figure out furthermore, the dog soon flew out of the ground and slammed the Sneasel's back with all of her ease.

Adir looked back to see Oakley, now a flashing light of blue. Her figure appeared to be a lot bigger than her Yamper self. Landing on both her legs, the female Sneasel was soon sent flying. Penny slowly closed her eyes only for her to cover them again as she saw the blue light flash through.

As soon as the blue light faded away, the large dog mightily stood on the ground and watched the Sneasel land on her back. It wasn't enough to break any bones, but it was fully enough for her attacker to go unconscious upon impact.

Oakley turned around to the shiny Tyrogue next to her, then back at Penny, who was now in shock. "O-Oakley..You're..you've.."

"Evolved? Tch- No way I just.." Oakley stopped only to find that her fur was a lot different, and her corgi neck fluff is no longer visible. She had a long tail, and her facial markings appeared to be different. "Wait..I'm.."

"You've evolved!" Penny shook, now realizing that Oakley had evolved into what appeared to be a Boltund! "You're just..YOU LOOK SO TALL NOW!"

"This..is.." Oakley took a few moments to figure out her Boltund form. "AWESOME!"

Her scream was enough for her attacker to finally get up and scramble her legs across the floor, jumping in and swiping her claws against Oakley's back. "YOU..TRAITOR!" Was all the Sneasel could say before the Boltund attempted to swing herself from the cat-weasel, her claws still onto her back.

"GET..OFF..ME!" Yelled the Boltund, swining her body back and forth to free herself from the Sneasel's claws. Penny quickly got up and with the help of her jaws, she managed to lock her jaws against her attacker's leg. With deep scratches on her back and a few mild ones on her ear, it still wasn't enough for Oakley to give up yet.

The female let out a painful yelp as the Snubbull continued to lock her jaws against her leg, before swinging her around. Oakley let out a low growl as she turned her head to find her back, plastered with a deep cut from the Sneasel herself. "Arceus, I just evolved.. It's gonna take a long time to get used to it!"

With much more ease, Penny finally sends Oakley's attacker flying. With Adir struggling to get up with only one arm, and Penny managing to finish the attacker off with her jaws, the fight seemed to be over. A lot of unconscious Sneasels and two Weavile, both laying on the ground, not moving an inch.

"Thanks for the help, guys.." Oakley spoke as Penny placed a dry cloth onto her wounds. "Just evolved and I already got myself some deep cuts.."

"It was that Sneasel who caused this. Not Vivian, but that one Penny sent her flying as well.." Adir responded, as a matter of fact. "But at least Vivian's safe out there, isn't she?"

The Boltund slides herself out of the bushes to see Vivian, now staring at the unconscious predator. "Yep. She's safe.. And she's staring at our attacker.."

"Our attacker's unconscious body.." Penny corrected.

Vivian soon noticed the trio and went towards them with glee in her eyes. "GUYS! YOU CAME BACK!" Shouted the relieved Vivian.

"And Oakley just evolved into a Boltund just a few minutes ago." Penny responded, mentioning her friend's newly-evolved form. "She suffered a few cuts but it's not too deep."

"No wonder why she looks different." Vivian went towards Oakley before hugging her. "And she's taller too!"

"We gotta get back to Stone Town before the guard finds out." Penny spoke as he tugged onto Adir's arm, only for him to stop her.

"Actually, I'll handle this. You can't tug on my arm just because I'm waiting for others to go."

And so on, Team Blytz and Vivian headed out of the territory, leaving the rest of the clan members lying on the ground, bruised, fur matted with dirt, and unconscious.

-End of Chapter 2-
