Slowly Charizard rose into the sky, along with Charmander and Cyndaquil who were riding on her back...Meanwhile Snivy was left at Charizards home, so she could get some rest...
"Keep your eyes open for any meadows which do grow close to inactive volcanoes, usually there are berries growing near them." Charizard instructed "Okay" Charmander and Cyndaquil said … Charmander let its view scan the area ...parts of the landscape were elevated by tectonic activities ...most volcanoes here were dormant, some of them had black traces from cooled lava on their flanks... but nothing green in sight...
"Wait I think I see something" Cyndaquil suddenly said, after a few minutes of flying...The fire mouse Pokémon pointed to a small valley he had spotted in the distance... Charizard slowly lowered her altitude... It almost felt like dream to see anything green in this landscape... the Flame Pokémon landed right in the middle of the hidden oasis Cyndaquil had spotted...
Charmander quickly got of his moms back and started to look around... The grass underneath his feet was an unusual feeling... Cyndaquil raised her nose into the air " I smell... berries " the fire mouse Pokémon stated... she put out her fire , before she laid on her back and started to roll around " yay , this is fun! "... Charizard approached a little bush and started to pluck some berries..." Oran berries should be fine especially for Snivy " Charizard thought to herself, while plucking some blue berries... Charmander was watching Cyndaquil, who was enjoying this journey more than anybody...
After a few minutes Charizard had hands full of berries in different colors. "Okay time to go back and look after Snivy you two " Charizard said … "that was fun " Cyndaquil said, before she noticed all the green spots that the grass had left on her … Charizard laid down, giving Charmander and Cyndaquil a sign to get on …" how do I get that stuff of?" the fire mouse Pokémon said, while Charizard rose into the air... "I know, hold still " Charmander said, before he took a deep breath and started to breathe some fire at Cyndaquil... The green tinges on the fire type started to burn away … "That feels nice " Cyndaquil said, looking into Charmanders eyes... "You´re all clean now" the lizard Pokémon said, looking at Cyndaquil …
The sun started to set on the landscape, coloring the sky in the colors of the rainbow... after a few Minutes Charizard started to get close to the ground ... all of sudden, the shadows of some Pokémon that were fleeing from Charizards cave could be spotted from above... "Oh no... What is going on down there" Charizard said, before she started to fly towards the ground next to her cave...the sudden landing resulted in Charmander and Cyndaquil getting thrown off...? " Sorry " Charizard said, before rushing into the cave...
Snivy was still lying on the hay, but she had even more wounds all over her body… It looked like someone had bitten her many times... The grass type was laying on the ground... she wasn´t moving... "Thank you for coming. " ... The Snake Pokémon said, breathing heavily... "Some dog Pokémon tried to turn me into their meal, but when you came they ran off... those cowards! " she stated. "Here" Charizard said, giving Snivy a blue colored berry … Charmander noticed many wounds on the grass type, some of them were burns from the previous battle...
Snivy quickly ate the berry... "Hmm that´s better. " She said, and seconds later, some of the wounds had vanished… "We better sleep, if we don´t want to wake up tomorrow, being all tired. " Cyndaquil said…"We went through a lot today" Charmander analyzed, and then he laid down on the hay right next to Snivy…"Cyndaquil rubbed her nose against Charmander, who gave her kiss in return… then Cyndaquil cuddled up right next to Charmander… "Looks like you´ve even fallen in love" Charizard noticed… "I guess so … " Charmander said… "I definitely have. " Cyndaquil said, looking into Charmanders blue eyes… Charizard laid down too… "Good night" everyone Charmander said, before falling asleep.
As the night enveloped the landscape, it got cooler and quiet… but it was the kind of quiet, that could hide the many dangers of the night and due to the darkness, any movement was easily overlooked… The only thing that broke through the dark where the stars in the sky, which sparkled like little diamonds… The night passed quickly and after a few hours it was sunrise, the sky turned bright red and light had fallen into the cave…
Charmander opened his eyes, looking around, Snivy was still asleep and so was his mom, but when he turned around to look for Cyndaquil, the Pokémon was nowhere in sight, instead there was a little Paper on the ground… "Get rid of then one who doesn´t belong here, if you want to see your friend ever again…" was, what the apparent kidnappers had written…
"Wake up everyone " the lizard Pokémon yelled. Charizard slowly opened her eyes..."What´s wrong? " Charizard wondered… Charmander showed her the letter… "What´s with all the noise? " Snivy complained... "Cyndaquil got kidnapped and the guys who did it want you to go away…" Charmander explained to the Snake Pokémon "Well if we find those fiends we can show them, that I can be where ever I want to be" the grass type said...
"Looks like they weren´t the smartest" Charizard said, noticing some black trail that the unknown Pokémon had left behind... If it was an accident or an intended path leading to a trap was not clear, but Charmander was clearly determined to save his friend "I'll show them what happens if you mess with my friend Charmander said, before going outside…Snivy slowly got up, most of her wounds were gone…"They started a fight with me and I´m not done yet" Snivy said, following Charmander… Charizard followed the two smaller Pokémon in search of Cyndaquil
