After rescuing a Snivy, the grass type decided to sleep together with Charmander and Cyndaquil. In the comforting safety of each other, the three Pokémon slept through the night, which was occasionally brightened by nearby volcanic eruptions. After many hours, the sun broke through the darkness, being bright like a shooting star.
Charmander was sleeping peacefully, until he noticed something tickling his feet…"he-he-hey what´s up?" The lizard said, opening his eyes and giggling. The fire type noticed Snivy, who had used her vines to wake charmander. " It´s morning, you know ?" the grass Pokémon said, before looking over to Cyndaquil, who was still asleep…she was probably dreaming , due to her back releasing little sparks ,although it was not was not burning…
"Little dreamer ey? " Snivy said, extending her vines towards the fire mouse Pokémon "Wait I´ll shows you how to wake her." Charmander interrupted. The lizard walked over to Cyndaquil and gave her a kiss … "hmm, Charmander …I love you too …" The Fire type said, opening her eyes. "Humph, how boring!" Snivy said , before going to the little pond in the center of the cave and jumping in…Charmander and Cyndaquil looked at each other, shaking their heads…After a few seconds the snake Pokémon climbed out , shaking of some water on her…"Nothing beats a quick bath in the morning " the grass type said, raising her nose into the air.
"Sooo, where are you two headed to? " Snivy wondered. "We don´t really have a place to go to, that´s why we considered staying here "Charmander explained. "There is a place I do know, where Pokémon help others in danger and in return, they let you stay there, and you get food and valuables." Snivy went on "For that we´d have to get stronger, wouldn´t we?" Cyndaquil said. "How about we train our attacks a little?" Charmander suggested. "Me too?" Snivy said. The two fire Pokémon gave Snivy some angry looks "Okay, okay " the snake Pokémon complied.
"Watch my Flamethrower " the fire lizard, before breathing a cloud of fire at the wall of the cave, which had turned a little red after charmander stopped. " My turn " Cyndaquil said , " aiming a Flamethrower attack at a different spot of the wall …"Wow " Snivy muttered to herself,looking amazed at what the Pokemon showed of. There was a bright and glowing orange circle, where Cyndaquil had aimed at" try breathing in more air ,before using your fire attacks . Our fire lungs heat up, the more oxygen the get" Cyndaquil explained.
"Once more " Charmander said, giving the advice from Cyndaquil a try. The lizard took a deep breath, before releasing the cloudy inferno… the part of the wall that Charmander attacked was glowing almost as bright as Cyndaquil´s spot… the fire type started to cough and little clouds of smoke came out of his mouth. "Wow that´s pretty tough to do ..." " it does require a little getting used to .." the fire mouse Pokémon explained before looking at Snivy, who was just standing around, doing nothing." You really should use your attacks regularly " Charmander said. "Well I´m strong enough, but if you really want to see …" Snivy made her tail glow bright and green…
A barking sound broke through the training lesson… the three Pokémon looked towards the cave´s entrance..." who could that be?" Cyndaquil wondered. "Have they ever heard of privacy ?" Snivy said, before making her way towards the exit... "Oh rats… come quick" the grass type said. Charmander and Cyndaquil rushed over to Snivy who had been calling from outside.
Two black colored dog Pokémon with red bellies had surrounded the three Pokémon…"this is going be our home because we are going to take it from you "one of them barked …" I´d like to see you try" Snivy said… "Flamethrower" the other one said before attacking Snivy, who was totally unprepared…" aaaaaooow!" the snake Pokémon yelled…she was getting dizzy ..." you fire types…are... just weird… " The snake Pokémon said, staggering around "We Houndoom take what we want " the dog Pokémon said. "Flamewheel!" Cyndaquil yelled, wrapping herself in a ball of flames and homing in on one of the invaders, who for some reason didn´t dodge the attack …when the fire mouse Pokémon came in contact with the Houndoom´s skin...he started to flash red…Cyndaquil stopped spinning .. "Flamethrower! " the dog Pokémon said, countering the attack. Although Cyndaquil was a fire type, the blow was a lot tougher than expected…she was breathing heavily…" What happened …" the little fire mouse Pokémon wondered, shaking her head…" they can absorb fire" Charmander explained…" Slash! "Charmander screamed, raising his hand and running at one of the dog Pokémon getting ready to attack with his sharp claws. " Dark Pulse!" He muttered, releasing a wave of dark energy, which struck the lizard with its full power…" sooo strong…." Charmander stuttered, before falling and becoming unconscious…
" Nooo!" Cyndaquil said running over to Charmander… " This isn´t over Snivy said , making her ivy leaf glow brightly , before jumping into the air and dropping onto a Houndoom …"Fire Fang" he barked , biting Snivy´s tail when she tried to attack…" let gooaa" Snivy screamed, due to the great pain she was in, before slowly losing her consciousness..The burns had done more damage than it seemed…." Just…can´t...quit" Cyndaquil thought to herself.." Swift!", the fire mouse yelled, making a last attempt to avoid defeat…She shot a bunch of stars towards the dog Pokémon…their grin on their faces was wide…they knew how close they were from a safe haven in this place…" Dark Pulse " they both said , their voices sounded deep , almost like they were whispering… The attacks knocked over Cyndaquil who was slowly fainting. With Cyndaquil fainting , the hope for the trio of Pokémon was slowly dying away, just like a campfire dies down…Out of the corner of her eye Cyndaquil spotted, what could be described as a star in the sky… Was it an eruption or even something like a Pokémon heaven?
