Chapter 2- Hunters

Violet didn't hear the noise until it was close. Heavy footsteps were slowly crunching towards her. She stopped crying and didn't move or breathe. The footsteps stopped. Violet peered out of the bush. Nothing was there. She slowly stood up and looked around. Suddenly, a large Ursaring came bursting through the trees, teeth flashing and claws slashing. Violet turned and ran, the Ursaring close behind. Despite being quite big and bulky, the ursaring was fast and on multiple occasions, barely missed ripping Violet to shreds with it's claws. Violet was quick and dodged through the trees. She was getting tired and didn't think she could go on especially after her being chased from town. The Ursaring however, either lost interest or decided that she was far enough from its territory and slowed down. It stomped a couple of times slashing at the air and turned away. It took a couple of minutes to realize that Violet had lost her shoes at one point, and her feet were sore and bleeding. Violet limped away sadly.

One Year Later

It had been a while since Violet had seen a human face. At first she didn't think she could make it. But Violet was quiet, she was fast and she was a quick learner. She learned to stay far from humans, and how to tell when something was near. She avoided close contact with pokemon as well, but she watched them often, to learn what to eat, where to go, things like that. She stayed safe for a while, until they came. The hunters. Men with nets and weapons, things they used to torture and kill the pokemon. If they found her she would surely die. She had to keep hidden when they came, she had to be careful. Then the other hunters came. Very powerful pokemon, who battled against the humans with flame and water, with claws and teeth. Violet knew they would find her. They could smell her, and unlike the other pokemon, they weren't afraid. So, in the dark cover of night, VIolet fled. She ran and ran, away from her old home. But unknowingly, she was running towards her doom. She was running the way that the pokemon came. The pokemon had finished their job quickly, killing all of the humans with little problem, when they caught her scent. VIolet didn't know where she was going, or that the pokemon were following her. The were faster, and soon caught up. Violet heard them, flapping, crunching, scurrying. She was afraid. Why shouldn't she be. She ran, and ran until they gave up, deciding she was a waste of time. She was just a child, she was no threat. thats when she ran into the luxray. It was growling, baring its teeth at a man. It's shinx was hiding behind it, letting out small mewling pleas for help. The luxray spotted her, narrowing its eyes. Violet saw the shinx and felt sorry. This thing was a baby, and it looked scared. She picked up a rock and threw it at the man's head. He shouted and turned to look at her.

"What the-"
"Uh oh…" Violet tried run, but the man grabbed her wrist. She shrieked, setting off the luxray. It growled and leapt towards the man, causing his grip to loosen just enough. Violet fell to the ground and scrambled away, moving towards the shinx. She hid by it and curled up, hoping to escape notice. She trembled softly as she heard the man flee and the luxray pad slowly towards her. She opened her eyes and tried to move away, but she couldn't. She was frozen in fear. The luxray growled, causing Violet to duck her head down with a small yelp. The luxray cautiously sniffed her, then picked up it's shinx in its mouth. Violet peeked up at it, opening her mouth to speak.

"P-please don't-" She was cut off by a voice

"Human quiet. Or tear Lux to shreds."

"You can talk?"

"Can hear? Good. Good good. Bring to protectors, might want. No, they kill. Bring to Mew. He good. Lux and cub safe." Lux crouched by her. "On Lux. Bring to Mew."

Violet looked into his eyes. She was trapped. With a sigh, she got on Lux.
