"Where are we anyway?" Cyndaquil brought up after a long walk of silence.
Skitty looked up and breathed in the forest air. "This is Petalburg Woods, one of the places I call home..." She stopped to admire the trees towering over her. "Living in the forest, nature all around you... it's very comfortable."
"Really?" Cyndaquil exclaimed. "I lived outside a town for most of my life..." He watched as the sunlight faded into the forest floor. He walked over to one of the beams and felt the sun warm his paws. "It is pretty comfortable, I guess." He claimed, before walking back over to Skitty.
"So your one of those... City Folk?" Skitty asked in a joking way, nudging him with her tail.
"Well, not really," Cyndaquil replied, pushing her tail away. "I lived outside of the town, mainly behind this one house because he created Pokeballs." He looked up, refreshing his memories before continuing. "It was very interesting, and it's even where I got this Timer ball." He poked the ball he was rolling along with him.
"Huh," Skitty said. "That is interesting..." And that's where the conversation stopped.
Before long, they continued their silent journey through the woods, before long they came across the exit. They walked through the end and came across a path outside of the forest. "Is everything here so beautiful?" Cyndaquil asked, admiring the scenery.
"Well, I'm used to it all." Skitty gloated, acting as if he came from a toxic wasteland. But before their chat could continue, they were interrupted by an unfamiliar voice.
"Hey! You, Skitty!"
Skitty jumped at the sound of the voice, but Cyndaquil didn't understand. A Zigzagoon darted in front of Skitty, pointing it's nose at the silver chain around her neck. "Give us back that chain, runt!" He growled, pressing closer to her.
Skitty just laughed. "Runt?" She questioned between giggles. "You're even shorter than me!" She pushed the Zigzagoon away with her large tail and continued to snicker.
Cyndaquil was confused. "Do you know him?" He asked.
"Ah, yeah. He's a friend." Skitty answered, but she was proven wrong when Zigzagoon shouted "Traitor! Give me the chain back!"
Cyndaquil began pulling answers into his head. "Wait, you stole that?" He questioned, a bit surprised that his friend he was journeying with was a pick-pocketer.
"Of course not!" She quickly replied with laughter, slapping the furious Zigzagoon away. Before he could say anymore to prove her wrong once more, she double-slapped the normal type until he finally backed off.
"You'll regret this..." Zigzagoon growled once more before fleeing.
Cyndaquil watched him dart away in a zigzag path. "Well that was strange..." He stated. But before they could start up another conversation, Skitty's ears perked up high.
"Run!" She called, darting forward. Cyndaquil was a bit confused, but he soon heard what caused her to flee. He could hear footsteps dashing their way, and he assumed they were the same Zigzagoon stampede from earlier. Quickly, he ran with his stubby legs and caught up with Skitty. They both dashed up a tree, just like when they first met, and watched the silly raccoon Pokemon storm underneath them.
"Hey!" Skitty called out, making Cyndaquil look up. She was looking out the side of their leafy fort, across the horizon at the nearest city. "It's a city!" She stated, pointing out the obvious. They checked once more to see if the Zigzagoon were gone, and hopped out of the fraction of the forest they hid in. And off on their adventure they continued, still somewhat dazed at their experience.
