After the surprise attack by the three rock Pokémon, Charmander, Cyndaquil and Snivy got ready to fight them off. The sun had started to set, slowly darkening the area; however the will of the attacked Pokémon was shining as bright as can be.

One of the Onixes roared "Dragonbreath!", before opening his mouth and shooting a bright and colored beam of energy towards Snivy. The Snake Pokémon effortlessly dodged the attack by jumping into the air. The she started to spin in midair before saying "Leaf Blade" and making her tail glow green. Before striking the rock Pokémon's head. Although he was big and heavy, the blow of the attack made him fall over, he didn´t get up… "Not very skilled, are you?" Snivy said, raising her nose into the air. The two Fire Pokémon watched in amazement what that grass type could pull off…

"Smokescreen! " Cyndaquil shouted, before enveloping the deformed Onix in a cloud of smoke… "Slam! " the third Onix roared , before charging at Snivy with his full body , who was still caught in her self confidence…The grass type took the full blow of the attack and was sent flying a few yards, before she landed…The same Onix rushed over to Snivy to finish for good.

Charmander quickly got in the way of the Onix, before yelling "Flamethrower ", opening his mouth and shooting a cloud of flames towards the rock Pokémon. " two can play that game " Cyndaquil said before shooting her own Flamethrower to join Charmander´s attack…The surprised Onixes head was glowing brightly due to the enormous heat… Snivy was totally fascinated by the power of the two Fire Pokémon and especially by how they fought just to protect her…she tried getting up but was stopped by her hurt leg…the Onix fell to the ground with his full weight, making everything underneath him flat like a pancake…

Cyndaquil rushed over to Snivy. "Are you fine?" the fire mouse Pokémon asked. "No, I think by leg is br…"the ground underneath Cyndaquil broke before the third and last onix attacked Cyndaquil … " take that "he yelled...The fire mouse Pokémon flew high into the air, before landing on the ground…In the next second , a large piece of rock was blasted out of the Onixes face, due to Charmander using an iron tail attack…" you ´ll need to go through me , before you take on my friends" the fire lizard said , grinning at the Onix who looked even more beaten up then before…

It roared loudly, before digging into the ground...the other two Onixes quickly followed…, then it got quiet. The sun was just about to go out of sight and the Landscape was wrapped in darkness, but the Lavastreams and volcanic craters made the night not as dark as it could be…"

"My belly hurts and I feel dizzy " Cyndaquil complained, her face expression made it clearly visible that she was in great pain…her Flame was very small…" Those fools have broken my leg!" Snivy said, staggering over to Cyndaquil and Charmander…" you´ll be fine " the other Fire type said, comforting his wounded friend."Where do you live at ?" the grass type wondered, looking around..."In that cave " Charmander said, pointing at his new hideout. "Looks fine to me " Snivy said…" I´ll carry you, you´re pretty brave after all." She said, before making two vines extend from her back and wrapping them around Cyndaquil, who had but out her fiery back…then the grass type lifted up Cyndaquil before starting to stagger towards the cave Charmander had pointed at… "Wow you´re pretty friendly "the fire mouse said, looking at Snivy.

And so the three Pokémon walked slowly, through the night, towards the cave in hopes of finding shelter. After, what seemed like hours the Pokémon made it to the slope of the "volcano", before starting to climb. "You´re pretty heavy" Snivy said..little droplets of sweat started to form on her forehead…"don´t scary predators come out at night" Cyndaquil said , while the Pokémon started to climb towards the cave…"They say at night, a gang of quick and strong Pokémon charges through the valleys…" the fire mouse went on " Really?" Snivy wondered…" when I was back in my tribe there were always stories of Pokémon who would whinny before they attacked someone, trying to rob them for food and other things. ""We better get to our new place if we don´t want to run into them, I guess" Charmander said…

After a few more minutes of climbing, the two Pokémon reached the small entrance to the cave…Snivy put down Cyndaquil, who ignited her back again… Then the grass type stood still and gazed at the hidden garden, which was only visible due to Charmander´s flame…" I´ll definitely enjoy staying here." The grass type said, before walking over to a plant and plucking two Sitrus berries "Here you go, you need it. " The Snake Pokémon said, putting down a sitrus berry right in front of Cyndaquil… The fire mouse took a bite..." my bellyache is gone!" she said happily… Snivy had eaten the second berry in order to heal herself as well.

Charmander yawned loudly and released a little fireball in the process. "I really some need sleep" the lizard said, before laying down on his back ..."Today was a pretty full day." Cyndaquil said before looking into Charmander´s eyes. "You're a great friend to have out here. " She said before kissing Charmander and rubbing her head against Charmander´s right cheek…" Today had enough excitement for me "Snivy said, before lying down…" Do you mind if I sleep close next to you? I hate solitude and I like to be warm. ""Sure why not?" Charmander said. Snivy laid her head on Charmander´s belly. "I had hoped you would like that "Cyndaquil said, looking into the Snake Pokemon´s red eyes. Charmander put his left arm around Snivy .. "Hmm this is nice. " The Grass type said. Charmander stroked Cyndaquil´s head with his right hand before letting it rest on Cyndaquil´s fiery back "Good night everyone. " The fire mouse said, before putting out her back and closing her eyes. "Good night to you too Snivy said, before looking into Charmander´s blue eyes…Then she put her head on the lizards belly and slept just like everyone else did.
