We approached the caterpie, and I tried to talk to it calmly. "Hey, your mom is really worried about you. She wanted us to bring you back to her."
The caterpie looked at me. "What? I told her I would be back before dinner."
"But she wanted us to make sure you're safe and bring you back"
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers... What are you anyway?"
I knew it wouldn't recognize me, but I don't enjoy being called an alien. "I'm the legendary Pokémon, Luci."
"What?!" He seemed very excited. "I got to meet a legendary Pokémon? This is amazing!"
"Yeah, calm down. We need to bring you back to your mother." after that it didn't take much for him to agree to come with us and I started carrying him. Although I'm not a legendary anything, I didn't want to tell him that because he seemed so excited about it.
On the way back he wouldn't stop asking me questions that I had to make up random answers for. "What kind of legendary powers do you have?"
"I have the power of..." I didn't know what to say. "Magic hugs." Why did I say magic hugs? Well... I couldn't think of anything else fast enough so I went with that.
"Magic hugs? What does it do?"
"if I hug someone, they become healed and restored" I was trying so hard to keep a straight face after saying that.
"Oh. Can you do it on me?"
"Uh... Where are you hurt?"
"I'm not hurt anywhere. I just want to know what it feels like"
I was happy to hear he wasn't hurt. "Well, then you won't feel it's magical effect, but okay." I hugged the caterpie.
"Well, it definitely doesn't feel normal. But I don't usually get regular hugs either." I couldn't believe he actually thought I had magic hugs. He was talking like he was serious about all of this though.
Then Klaus started talking. "When do I get one of your magic hugs?"
I couldn't tell if he was mocking me or if he really wanted a hug for some reason. Maybe he believed it too. "why do you want a hug?" I asked him
"I'm a Sylveon. Isn't it obvious?"
"Oh yeah, I know exactly what a Sylveon is" I said to remind him that I don't know anything about this world, but trying not to let the caterpie know. "Can we stop talking about my magic hugs please?"
The caterpie didn't seem happy about about it, but agreed to drop the subject.
Finally after being questioned for half an hour by a caterpillar, we reached the town. I noticed the Glaze's Donuts building was destroyed by something, and the remains were on fire. "I wonder what happened there..."
"Maybe someone really didn't like donuts" Karma said.
We walked around the town until we found the butterfree, still on the ground walking. Klaus joyfully said "hey, we found your baby!"
The butterfree looked at us and smiled as it ran toward us "thank you! Thank you!"
The caterpie looked down from where I was holding it in my arms at the butterfree. "That's not my mommy..."
I was suddenly worried we got the wrong caterpie. "W- what do you mean it's not your mommy?"
"I mean that's not my mommy!"
The butterfree looked angry, but it was smiling. What was happening? The butterfree's arm stretched out into red sharp claws and swung at me, scratching cheek as I stumbled away dropping the caterpie. It wasn't a butterfree anymore. It changed into a tall fox with red and black fur all over. Before I could realize what was happening it had already taken the caterpie and ran away toward a forest to the north. "What was that?!"
Karma responded "We didn't help a butterfree find her baby, we just helped a Zoroark steal one. Come on, we gotta stop it!"
We all ran into the forest after the Zoroark, to stop it before anything bad could happen to that caterpie.
