After finding shelter from the rain outside by hiding in a cave, the two Pokémon were looking at, what only could be described as a mysterious garden. The cave ended up into a big and tall room with a little opening at the very top, and in the center there was a little lake, that apparently had formed due to the water coming in from the top at regular times. By the looks of the place one could guess it was something like an empty volcano. The nutrients in the ground in combination with the water here and the light coming in from the top allowed plants here grow freely. The peace and quiet took over the two Pokemon who had been on the run for the past few days.
Charmander looked closely at the plants. "Are …are those plants bearing berries?" the lizard carefully asked. Cyndaquil was taken by the stunning sight of the green plants, which are rare in these parts … The fire mouse Pokémon approached one of the plants and touched a yellow berry with her nose. "Smells like sitrus berries …" she took a bite… "And it tastes like one too "Cyndaquil said before eating the rest of it. Charmander ran over to Cyndaquil and plucked one of the berries and ate it right away…"You can´t imagine how long I have been hungry "the lizard said, before plucking another berry and eating it. " I take that as sign that we have to go on "The fire mouse said to Charmander.
After some more berries Charmander and Cyndaquil just laid on the ground, satisfied, free of hunger and without any unwanted followers to worry about. "How about we live here" Cyndaquil suggested "I mean there is food and it´s safe here "I guess so, but we have to make sure no one else knows about this place." The lizard said. The fire mouse came closer to Charmander "we are all alone here, no one will ever find out about this place. "she said , before looking into the lizard´s eyes " not only did you save me from being eaten but you also helped me find some food…" the fire type said before getting close to Charmanders head and giving him a kiss onto his lips. " Charmander blushed before he put his arms around Cyndaquil " I never thought I would find someone in this place who I could trust , someone I could love …well I´m glad you proved me wrong " Charmander said before kissing Cyndaquil .
After a few more romantic gestures of the fire type Pokémon the light that shone through the hole in the cave got brighter, due to the rainy clouds outside vanishing. The watery pond reflected the light making the cave sparkle. This place was like an oasis in the middle of a desert … It was quiet and hardly any noise coming from outside could be heard.
The peaceful atmosphere was shattered by a loud sound outside, like someone had fallen. "Don´t tell me it is who I think it is"Cyndaquil said before looking to the caves little entrance and making her back burn brighter "the noise was too little for it to be those guys…" Charmander walked to the exit of the cave.
Outside, far away from the volcano, something green was lying right in the middle of the valley. "That´s a Pokémon. We should try and help " Cyndaquil said "You bet I will" Charmander said before running down the mountain. Cyndaquil quickly caught up with him.
Meanwhile the sun had started to sink again, coloring the skies in tinges of orange and red, making it look like the world were on fire , although one might think that the world as it was there might be one fire due to the constant eruptions…but the fire on the outside paled in comparison with the will burning within the Pokemon who where willing to go on in this dangerous place. After a few Minutes the two fires Pokémon made it to the bottom of the slope and started to run towards the green Pokémon they had spotted from their new home…one couldn´t tell if the creature had just decided to pick a bad place for a nap, or if it was just exhausted.
After a few Minutes of running they found a Pokémon with Ivy like leaf on his tail and a snake like body lying on the ground. It opened its little and red but sharp eyes…" Where am I?" The little Pokémon said, while looking around before starting to shiver… "A volcanic place...how could they?" the Snake said. "What brings you out here? " Cyndaquil asked " My parents though I was too weak , so they wanted to get rid of me… and deciding that giving me less food wasn´t enough , they got a bird Pokémon to drop me here…by the way I´m Snivy" the grass type said before raising her head " that does not mean I´m weak though…" Snivy said before looking at the other two Pokémon" we were worried about you " Charmander said " besides wandering around through the valleys here is unsafe " Cyndaquil added. " Oh really … I wouldn´t know why that would be! "Snivy said, before taking a closer look at the landscape
The next second the ground started to tremble and three fearsome but familiar Pokémon came out of the ground... "Watch out! "Cyndaquil warned everyone... Snivy was totally shocked due to the things happening…" wow someone has to be hungry here ." the snake commentated " Let´s finish where we started the last time shall we. " a weird onix said , looking very angry at the Charmander whose Iron tail attack had deformed his head the day before. "It´s feeding time", one of the other rock Pokémon said…." If you want us you´ll have to be good, right? "Snivy said looking at the two fire Pokémon for support. Charmander made his Flame flare up while Cyndaquil made his back burn hotter.
The three Onixes started to get in a circle formation in order to surround the smaller Pokémon.
