Chapter 4 New Found Power
When zack began his walk through town he heard someone yelling his name from behind him it was the little riolu running at him 'Hay zack Wait up' 'what do you need riolu' 'i want to come with you back to your house i hate being at the lab and when you left
you friend started squeezing me' 'that's her way of hugging' zack said as he laugh a little 'anyway i don't mind if you follow me home its straight down this path' as he pointed to a path leading to the forest 'OK lead on then ' they both started walking down the path
leading to Zack's house zack then thought of a question for riolu 'hay riolu how were you injured a few days ago' riolu did not respond he was in deep thought about the sudden question but before he could speak they heard a loud bang coming from the east area of the forest
zack said in shock 'was that a gun shot'? they both froze still as they saw a hoard of Pokemon run past them all of them seemed in shock as well.
But before he could react another gun shot was fired but closer both zack and riolu were still frozen in place but riolu was now hiding behind zack then suddenly three men came out from behind a large bush they had large rifle's zack instantly knew they were poachers one of the men said in a angry tone 'where did they go dammit'
he had not seen zack yet but it was to late the other two saw him and riolu 'hay what are you doing here kid' zack still scared couldn't speak 'well what are you doing here tell us now brat' 'i live in the forest' zack mutter slowly 'its nearby' one of the men were looking directly at riolu
'that your Pokemon kid' zack thought for a second if he said no they would probably take him zack then muttered 'yes he's mine he's a riolu' the men whispered amongst one and other starting to think they would still take him
zack picked up riolu and started to walk away slowly the men notice this and one of them said 'were do you think your going kid' zack then froze 'back to my house' zack said slowly 'why don't you leave that Pokemon here and go home' zack's suspicion's were true they still wanted riolu
then zack quietly whispered to riolu 'riolu listen when i put you down and i say go i need you to run to the house go inside and lock the door and hide ill try to buy you some time by distracting them and don't worry about me ill be fine just run when i say go got it'
'but zack' 'no buts ready' zack put riolu on the ground and turned to the three men just by looking at them he could they were poachers angry swelling up in him he hated poachers for hurting Pokemon 'three' zack said quietly but riolu was still able to hear him
riolu faced the way the house was 'two' riolu got him self ready 'riolu go now!' zack yelled riolu started sprinting to the house one of the men were starting to run to riolu but zack tripped him then without warning one of the other men sacked zack in the head with the bud of his gun
he fell to the ground and nearly fell unconscious the man he tripped got up and said 'why you brat you two go after the riolu ill take care of the runt here' he then started to kick zack in the side 'got it boss' the two other poachers started running after riolu
zack couldn't do anything but hope that riolu made it back to the house safe then after multiple kicks zack passed out.
After hearing the word go riolu started sprinting to the house he ran as fast as he can he had made it back to the house he ran in and shut the door he thought he was safe
but he heard someone banging on the door he heard them say 'open the damn door' he knew it was not zack but the poachers he ran around the house to look for a hiding place
he found the bathroom there was a open Cabinet he threw him self in and shut the Cabinet door hoping he would not be found if they got in there was a large towel in the small Cabinet
he put the towel over himself hoping it would help him hide in the small Cabinet he then heard a window break they made it in side the house he thought to him self i hope they don't find me
they were stomping around the house probably looking for the little riolu in the Cabinet he then heard the bathroom door opened he froze still unable to move he hoped they would just leave the house
after a little while the stomping stopped he wondered if they left he was starting to calm down when the Cabinet door opened he was pulled out by his feet he yelled 'help!' the poachers had finally found him.
Zack awoke just lying on the grown in pain 'damn i have to know if riolu is ok' just as he got back to his feet he heard it 'HELP!' he knew it was riolu he was about to run to the source of the yell but he fell over
damn i have to help he keep thinking to himself what they would do to the poor Pokemon he ultimately knew they would kill him thinking about it made his rage tip his scale
he then blacked back out.
After being pulled out of the Cabinet he saw all the poachers in the living room of zacks house 'finally you found it ' riolu keep trying to break free from the hold of one of the poachers
'don't even try you wont break free from his grip' 'man your putting up a better fight then that runt in the woods i probable killed him by accident i don't know my own strength' hearing zack was probable dead
the emanation Pokemon started to cry a little but keep trying to break free from his captors 'well lets take him to G he will be happy to know the mission was a success' riolu thought to him self "who is g?"
They walked to the door just as the poachers were gonna open the door there was banging at the door BANG BANG BANG! 'what the hell who is that banging' 'i don't know
let's see' they opened the door standing at the door was a shock it was zack but he didn't look normal it looked like he was wearing a mask over his eyes his teeth were sharp and bigger than normal
they looked like a wolfs and his eyes were a crimson red color he was also a bit taller 'what the hell your supposed to be dead you runt' then after that zack said in a stern and load angry voice
'give the riolu to me now' 'like hell we do that' 'you leave me no choice' zack walked to the nearest poacher grabbed his arm and flung him out the door into a tree knocking him out 'who's next' the poacher that beat him up early
was in a fighting pose 'oh you want to be flung out next your wish' with out warning the poacher ran at zack and tried to punch him in the face but zack was to fast he missed and instead punch the wall 'ow fuck' 'oh you think that hurt you have no idea the pain your about to feel'
zack then turned the poacher around and punched him in the face knocking him out zack then flung him out the door too zack then turned the last poacher holding riolu
zack then said in a angry voice 'are you going to make the same mistake as your friends or are you going to leave without getting hurt' the last poacher decided to drop riolu and walk out slowly
'i swear we will stay away from this are i promise' 'then leave now!' the last poacher now screaming for his mom ran out the door zack then shut and locked the door
he then turned to riolu who was siting in the corner now he was scared of zack now.
Zack walked slowly to riolu in the corner and said in a gentle friendly voice with a smile 'see i told you i would protect you riolu' riolu started to calm down then suddenly zack
fainted and laid on the floor not moving riolu started to freak out shaking zack rapidly he then thought of getting one of zacks friends for help riolu then ran out
the door and headed to town.
He arrived at the town in a short time he saw maya by a short house he immediately ran at her hoping for help she saw the little Pokemon running at her 'oh hi riolu how are you'
he started trying gesture about zack 'i don't understand what is it riolu' getting frustrated riolu started pulling maya to the path leading to zacks house 'what you want me to go to zack's house?' riolu nodded rapidly
'ok lead on riolu' they both ran to zacks house.
They arrived a short time later maya was out of breath 'ok whats wrong here riolu' riolu ran to the door and opened it reviling zack on the floor ' Huh Zack! what happened'
zack was still out cold 'riolu ill get his dad stay with him ok' riolu nodded.
