Zubat avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.
Red was trudging through Mt. Moon, bored and unsatisfied with his Pokemon. So, he decided to have a little adventure. What was this adventure? Well, he wanted to see what would happen if he took a Zubat outside during the daytime. After a few days of searching, he finally found a Zubat.
"Zu-zu-bat," it growled, upset at Red for disturbing it.
"I'm not going to hurt you, Zubat. I just want to take you somewhere," he partially lied. Not all of what he said was true. Surprisingly, the Zubat started to follow Red. "Alright, then."
He walked for a few hours, with Zubat following closely behind. It had to be around noon by the time he got to the exit. Red squinted from the light entering his eyes as he walked outside. The Zubat followed closely behind. It stopped once it saw the exit.
"Zubat-zu!" it hissed, angry. Red shrugged in response.
"What's wrong with a bit a sunlight for once? No sunlight isn't healthy," he asked. Zubat shook its head and started to go the opposite direction. Red chased after it, eventually catching it. After getting a tight grasp on it, he walked back to the exit.
"Zubat!" the Zubat screeched in protest.
Just a little longer, Red. You can make it, he encouraged himself. It took a few more minutes before he got there, but he made it. He guessed it was about 1:00 PM.
The Zubat screeched as the sunlight hit its body, but its screech soon turned into a hoarse moan. Red let go of the Zubat, when smoke began to rise from its body.
Oops.
Just a few seconds later, the Zubat was on fire. Literally. It fell to the ground, screeching in pain as its skin turned into ash. After an hour of screeching, the Zubat's remains lied on the ground, being nothing but ash.
A few people came to Mt. Moon to check out the source of the sound. Red chuckled slightly, and fled.
A/N: Aww, poor Zubat! If Red had stayed there any longer, he would have been arrested. But it's alright now. I hope you liked this chapter. If you want, you can give a review!
Next: Eevee
And with that, Branchwing, out!
