There was no way we could possibly move faster than the Zoroark. We followed by it's tracks in the dirt and scratch marks on trees for what seemed like hours. "How much farther do you think it will run?" I asked, exhausted.
"I don't know..." Karma responded. "But he sure went fast... Can't be too much farther."
I felt relieved to hear that. I was so exhausted after following the Zoroark for so long. But it's because of us that the caterpie's in trouble, we can't just leave him. "Come on, you know we can do it, no matter how far it is" Klaus said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah..." I responded back to him. "Thanks. You're right, we can do this together."
"Then deal with some very upset parents..." Karma said grumpily. Klaus just shook his head, smiled, and continued walking.
After a little while longer we finally found what we thought might be where the Zoroark finally stopped. The tracks in the ground changed from big foot steps to small circles in the ground leading into a cave. "This is it" Karma said, as if we had already won. "It has no where left to go."
"Yeah. Let's find the Zoroark and save Caterpie." I responded, trying to act like I'm not scared. I still feel the scratch on my cheek from back in the village.
We entered the cave, it was pretty dark but there was some sunlight coming through holes in the top of the cave so everything was still clearly visible.
Not too far into the cave we started hearing a quiet screeching noise. "What's that?" I asked, worried.
"I'm not sure... I don't usually go near any caves" klaus responded. The screeching slowly got louder. Eventually it was so loud it made my ears hurt. Klaus and Karma were covering their ears already, more sensitive to the sound. As we looked deeper into the cave we saw what was creating the sound. An army of tiny bats was flying through the cave toward us, they didn't seem to have eyes, but they had their mouths wide open with sharp teeth ready to bite.
"It's Zubats!" Karma shouted over the sound of their screeching. Within seconds we were swarmed by the tiny bats. I saw explosions of pink and water being shot through the bats, but it was having little affect on the massive amount of Zubats. I cringed as I felt scratches being made all over my body from their teeth and I flailed my arms and legs helplessly, then decided on what I had to do.
"Karma, Klaus, quickly cover your ears!" I shouted over the screeching. I was happy to see them both listen and put their paws over their ears, and as they did I began to speak. Not regularly, but in a much softer, angelic voice. One with magic capabilities that affect anyone that hears it, as I said "goodnight everyone".
The screeching fell silent. All of the bats fell to the ground, sleeping. Karma and Klaus uncovered their ears as they looked up at me, now able to see all the scratches on me more clearly. "What was that?!" Karma asked, But I couldn't give a response. I fell to the ground, sleeping with the Zubats.
