As the night covered the landscape in darkness, many different sounds could be heard by those who were quiet enough. Many vibrations from tectonic activities shook up the ground, but the quakes were too small, to wake up any sleeping Pokémon. Some of the mountains in the distance had bright glowing tops, indicating active volcanoes. However some of the nocturnal noise was caused by other Pokémon who roamed the area, when it was dark. The night passed rather quickly and as the sun slowly began to rise into the horizon, the sky took on many different colors, showing tinges of crimson, red and even a little bit of green…
Cyndaquil was the first to wake up; she slowly opened her eyes, scanning the area for possible dangers, because other times of the day attracted different predators. In the distance Cyndaquil spotted another row of mountains, which rose into the sky… The fire mouse Pokémon looked at her new found friends, Charmander and Snivy. She walked over to Charmander, then she slowly started to lick the fire lizard's face, who opened his eyes with a big grin on his face "Good morning Cyndaquil" Charmander said to the fire mouse, before giving her a kiss… Since Charmander was awake, Cyndaquil dashed over to the sleeping grass type, ready to repeat the same process.
The fiery hedgehogs tongue slowly touched the Snake Pokémon's cheek … " What do you think you're doing ?" Snivy said , opening her red eyes… " I… I was just trying to wake you " Cyndaquil said, who was clearly surprised by Snivy´s response. " Don´t do it again , it´s ugly and I do need that face " the grass type said, raising her nose into the air. Tears started to form in the eyes of Cyndaquil. " I was just trying to be a little friendly, but you are totally rude…" her voice made it obvious, that the fire type was disappointed. " Tch! Having to find a tongue on my face is what I call rude!" Snivy said , starring angrily into Cyndaquil´s eyes… The fire mouse Pokémon started to sob and tears fell to the ground… " What do you think you're doing to Cyndaquil ?" Charmander interrupted, who was slowly staggering over to the two Pokémon. " I´m teaching her manners! ". " You must be one cold hearted Pokémon to show a reaction like that to someone who is teaching you the most important lesson of all, which is tolerance and compassion for others " Charmander said, defending his friend." Who needs that ?Skill and manners are the only things that matter!" Snivy said "Those who want to rescue others !" Charmander said." Come on Cyndaquil let´s go !" Charmander added , who was slowly going towards the mountains edge. " I don´t want you to come with us , if you are like that" . " Cyndaquil added . " I can follow who I want to, whenever I want to ." Snivy said who walked towards Cyndaquil´s position. Suddenly Charmander blew a Flamethrower attack towards the ground in front of Snivy . " I agree." Charmander said, " Next one is going to hit if you get closer " The fire lizard warned."
Without any further conversation, the two fire Pokémon parted ways with Snivy . Cyndaquil didn´t know what to feel… Sadness, for what Snivy had done, or compassion for the left behind grass Type… Charmander slowly started to climb down the other side of the mountain especially watching out , so he didn´t overuse his broken leg, which hardly hurt anymore. Cyndaquil looked up, before she followed the lizard Pokémon. " I hope we will make it down there safely. " The fire mouse Pokémon said , while looking downwards. " Take it with a bit more of confidence " Charmander said. " When we do become a rescue team, we´re going to have to overcome our challenges." The fire type went on, while climbing. "I´m usually a bit afraid, when it comes to challenges, but once I get the hang of it I do well. " Cyndaquil told the lizard Pokémon. " That´s good to know about " Charmander stated.
As the fire Pokémon kept climbing, the sun rose into an almost cloudless sky. The area they were heading into had hardly any visible vegetation. Even though the sun indicated a nice and shiny day, Cyndaquil´s head was clouded up, by the emotions that where riding around inside of the hedgehogs head. Charmander was focusing on the path and on Cyndaquil as she was the only Pokémon out here, that trusted a lot and that he had very intense feelings for. Emotions had never experienced before…
After half an hour of climbing, the duo at last reached the bottom of the slope. Cyndaquil looked back at the almost cliff like side they had climbed down from. "I…I really did all that?". The fire mouse Pokémon said, while starring at Charmander. " You sure did, you´re getting better. " The lizard Pokémon commentated his friends descend. Cyndaquil grinned widely, before walking towards Charmander. " Do you know how much I like you ?" Cyndaquil asked her reptile partner. " I do. " Charmander replied , before getting on his knees and kissing the fire mouse Pokémon. "She started to lick his face all over. " You don´t mind this , do you ? " Cyndaquil asked , somewhat already sure of Charmanders answer. " Not at all." the lizard Pokémon said, laying his arms around Cyndaquil. The emotions the two fire types showed each other did not need any words to be described. Instead it could almost be felt, how intense this eruption of feelings was.
After a few minutes of loving, the ground started to tremble, like an earthquake, but much closer… and seconds later a big rock Pokémon came out of the ground. "This is the domain of us Graveler, you better be ready for your punishment. " The rather weird Pokémon that had all sorts of little rocky and pointy ends sticking out of him said.
