"Please let go!" she said as an Aimpom caught her.
But they didn't listen. They just kept laughing and tossing. Shadow roared again. Now the Aimpoms stopped laughing and looked at what was making the noise. When they saw Shadow standing at the tree's base, they started to throw berries and spit down at him. Shadow, angered by the berries and spit, reared up on his hind legs and shot fire at them. The Aimpoms scattered. They all began jumping from the trees and attacking Shadow. During the battle, Marissa took the opportunity to jump from the tree and attempt to escape again. She took off running across the plains at top speed. But for a ten year old this wasn't all that fast. Every so often she looked over her shoulder to see if she was being followed. Unfortunately for her, she didn't look up. Marissa heard a weird sound behind her and turned to look. What she saw nearly caused her to feint. A large creature with huge bat-like wings was flying towards her at an astounding pace.
"No, not again!" she yelled.
She turned and ran as fast as she could. But it was too late. She felt two large paws fit underneath her armpits and lift up. Shadow carried her high up into the sky and turned around, not back to the forest, but towards a large cliff side along the ocean.
There were police cars all over the ocean-side road with blinking lights and loud sirens. Marissa screamed for help, but Shadow pressed his large paw to her mouth to muffle her. Unfortunately for Shadow, he was sighted. One off the policemen looked up and rushed over to tell a lady with blue hair.
"It doesn't matter" he said. "They can't follow me onto the cliffs."
He landed lightly on a cliff side cave entrance and walked into it.
"You are becoming a very annoying pest." He told her. "You leave me no choice."
Shadow continued to walk for another couple minutes until he dropped her.
Marissa turned and stood up. She knew from studying Pokemon that Houndooms weren't supposed to grow over 4'7. She was 4'8 so she tried to imagine how tall he had gotten.
He must be 6 feet tall. She thought.
"Now, since you won't listen I'll have to wipe your memory of everything I don't want you to know." He said.
"WHAT" she yelled. "You can't do that!"
"Thanks to you, now I can." He stated.
Shadow stood up on his rear legs and put his paws on her shoulders and his head right in front of Marissa's.
"Now, look into my eyes." He said as his eyes grew red.
She was forced to look and she felt herself become dizzy and then she feinted.
Several hours later, Marissa woke up and looked around the fire lit cave.
"Where am I?" she said as she saw Shadow. "Who are you?"
"I am your guardian." He said. "You are in my care. I will protect you from anything that may harm you."
"Really!" she asked excitedly "Thank you so much!"
Marissa ran up and hugged Shadow around the neck tightly. A large and sinister smile crossed Shadow's face as she squeezed his neck.
