As M.E.W. and Speedy approached, a rather hostile situation was brewing in the targeted room. Inside were three Pokemon. One was a small, blue humanoid Pokemon with a white, onion-shaped head, swirly ears, white bands around its wrists and pink ovals on it's cheeks. It was a Pokemon known as Meditite, the Meditate Pokemon. The second was a blue, frog-like with yellow eyes, orange, expandable cheek pouches, and white bands on its chest. It was a Pokemon known as Croagunk, the Toxic Mouth Pokemon. The two Pokemon were menacingly standing over an injured brown rabbit Pokemon with a tan, fluffy lower body and two long ears with fluffy tips on the ends, a Pokemon known as Buneary, the Rabbit Pokemon. The victimized Buneary was heavily bruised, head to toe, and was on the kneeling on the ground, struggling to stay up, as the two fighting types eyed it with evil looks on their faces.
"Are ya ready to give up little girl?" The Croagunk said, revealing his male tone and voice.
"Don't... call me that!" Buneary struggle to say, breathing heavily, "I won't... lose to creeps like you!"
"You say that but the odds are strongly stacked against you," The Mediate said in a feminine, menacing tone, "You're on the ground, weak and at our mercy. Even if you still had a sliver of strength left, you couldn't possibly win in the sate you're in, plus our fighting moves are far more superior than your feeble attacks. Face it, you lose weakling."
"Yeah, what she said. It's best to just throw in the towel and fork over your goods." Croagunk said, pointing to a brown bag full of food that was behind Buneary.
"No. I won't let you get away with this." Buneary said as she used the remainder of her strength to push herself back up and stand up, "I'm not weak and not going to let you push me around like this!"
"Heh. Can you believe this wimp?" Crogunk mocked to Meditite, who smirked at his little statement, "Ya just don't get it, do ya? We've already pummeled ya senseless already because ya refused to hand over your stuff and ya askin' for more? Just give up already! You're too weak to face up to us!"
"Grr! I'm not weak! HYAH!" Buneary charged toward Croagunk and tried to slam him with one of her long ears, using Dizzy Punch.
Croagunk just dodged every strike Buneary swung at him and then cloaked his with a orange aura and slugged Buneary across the face with a Brick Break attack. Buneary fell back to the ground, facefirst, but after a few seconds, she struggled back up to her feet and glared at her opponents while trying to catch her breath. Croagunk put on a malicious grin and started to approach her, but Meditite stopped her.
"Let me deal with her." Meditite ordered.
Croagunk didn't want Meditite to have all of the 'fun' but he didn't want to make her mad either so he stepped aside as Meditite closed in on Buneary.
Meanwhile, M.E.W. and Speedy made their way through the corridor and reached the opening to the vacant room. They stopped when they saw the fight happening between Buneary and the two crooks, stood against the wall to keep from being seen.
"Dude, what's goin' on in there?" Speedy whispered.
"I don't know but by the looks of it, I think we just walked into trouble." M.E.W. whispered back.
The two watched as Meditite approached Buneary, who was slightly backing up as she got closer.
"What's wrong? Too scared to fight me?" Meditite taunted.
At that moment, Buneary stopped and dashed at Meditite. When she got close, she attacked with Dizzy Punch again and again, trying to strike a blow on her opponent but Meditite kept dodging every single strike. Meditite then countered with Low Sweep attack to Buneary's legs, which made her drop down and hold her leg in pain, and then kicked her in the face, knocking her back down to the hard ground. Buneary still wouldn't give up and struggled to get rise from the floor again.
"Pathetic. You're just asking for a world of pain," Meditite scoffed.
"Just stop..." Buneary said through heavy panting as she got up, "I won't give in to you!"
Buneary lunged at Meditite again with another Dizzy Punch but Meditite grabbed her ear. She then tried to counter with a Brick Break aimed at her face, however, before the punch made impact, Buneary parried the attack with her free arm, jumped and kicked Meditite square in the face, using Jump Kick. Meditite loosened the grip on the rabbit's ear and fell on her back, a few inches away. She sprang back up quickly with fury painted all over her face.
"Grr! Now you're going to pay!" Meditite snarled as she ran straight for Buneary.
Buneary tried to leap away before the menacing Fighting type could strike back but her speed was down, to the Low Sweep she took earlier, and got grabbed by Meditite before she could get away. Meditite's right hand was surrounded with big, green energy and she drove a full-power punch into Buneary's stomach, using Drain Punch. Huge amounts of pain surged into the young rabbit's body as she let out a loud cry. The whole scene made M.E.W. and Speedy gasp in shock and horror. Buneary backed up, holding her stomach in pain, almost on the verge of tears. But Meditite wasn't done as she followed up the assualt with a jumping knee kick, High Jump Kick, right in the poor rabbit's face, which sent them both into the air. From there, Meditite finished with a Brick Break attack and slammed Buneary back to the ground. Buneary met a very painful landing on the rock-hard ground and the impact made her bounce up and fall on her sore stomach. She ached with pain all over and was completely out of strength as she layed on the floor with uncontrable tears rolling down her face. Meditite just stood over her, with her arms crossed, enjoying every minute of her misery. Even Croagunk, who was standing by watching, was practically laughing at her.
"Disgraceful..." Meditite mocked, "You had the nerve to defy us and now look at you. You just a weak little baby just waiting to put out old her misery."
Buneary was out of options. The only thing to do now was to use whatever energy she had left to yell...
"H-HELP!"
At the sidelines, M.E.W. and Speedy couldn't take it anymore. Their eyes were alit with rage for what the cruel thugs have done to the innocent Buneary.
"That dudette has gone way too far!" Speedy growled, clenching his fist.
"I can't just stand her and watch her do this!" M.E.W. said, eyes glowing red in outrage, "I'm going to help! Speedy, will you stand with me on this?"
"Right behind ya bro!" Speedy replied.
With that, the two dashed out of their spectating spots and went to confront the two evil fiends.
"HEY!" M.E.W. exclaimed loudly, getting the culprits' attention as they quickly turned to the angry Mew. "Who do you think you are hurting an innocent person like that?! That is utterly unforgivable!"
"Yeah! The speedster doesn't like to see innocent kids get hurt by bunch a crooks! You're gonna be feeling my supersonic fury if ya don't scram right now!" Speedy treathened, with pure rage in his voice.
Meditite and Croagunk just eyed them with confusion and then looked at each other.
"Who are these losers?" Croagunk asked his partner.
"I don't know but it looks like they want to get in our way." Meditite predicted.
"Oh yeah? Let's show em' what happens to punks who get in our way!" Croagunk suggested.
Meditite nodded and looked back down at the defeated Buneary.
"When we're done with them, I'll finish you myself." Meditite said coldly, before following Croagunk to the enraged vigilanties.
"I don't know who you are or why you came here but we will show no mercy to those who stand in our way!" Meditite warned.
"Yeah, so you'd better buzz off before we beat you to a pulp." Croagunk threatened, pointing at M.E.W. and Speedy in a menacing manner.
"We're not goin' anywhere bub! You're the one's that better beat it!" Speedy said.
"That's right! We'll fight you if we must!" M.E.W. growled.
Meditite crossed her arms and looked at the two with her eyelids half-closed.
"My my my. And we were so thoughtful in warning you two idiots." Meditite said before stepping into a martial arts stance.
Croagunk in his fighting stance too and M.E.W. and Speedy did the same.
"I guess you'll just have to pay the price for defying us." Meditite continued.
"Better say ya prayers wimps!" Croagunk taunted.
Speedy and M.E.W. stood their ground, unafraid, and prepared themselves.
Those fiends! Hurting an innocent Buneary like that! Will M.E.W. and Speedy stop them or will they get away scott-free? Find out in the next battle filled chapter!
