"Chimchar!" Chimchar has been calling for her trainer ever since she and Oshawott had fallen together. She had not seen where Kori and the others had fallen but they had to keep looking.

"Oshawott...," the water pokémon fell on the ground and started crying. It wasn't really hurt by the fall, but that wasn't the point; Oshawott wanted his nice Trainer. "Osha wott. Oshawott..."

"Chim." Chimchar patted the crying pokémon on the back, trying to give comfort to him. "Char char." They would find Kori again, somehow. Chimchar carried the smaller pokémon and cradled him in her arms. She would just have to be strong until her trainer was found.

"Oshawott." They stayed still until Oshawott's tears stopped. Then they heard a roar from the distance, Rhyperior. They had to move.

Swablu continued to fly in the air, looking down to spot his friends. Swablu had past other pokémon. He asked if they had seen Chimchar or the newly hatched Oshawott, but they had not. Swablu was about to fly past when he heard an angry roar. It made Swablu stop and look down. Right there; Chimchar and Oshawott were facing down a very angry Rhyperior. Chimchar had just attacked with an Iron Tail. Oshawott with an Air Slash. "Swablu." He wanted to go down and help them, but he knew what he had to do.

Which is why Swablu turned around and flew back to Kori.

"Swablu should have came back by now," Kori said for the umpteenth time.

"Just give it some time," Lyssa answered back.

"She's right," Conway said. "Swablu is probably still looking."

"This is a waste of my time," the purple haired boy said. They found out earlier that his name was Paul.

"If it's such a waste, why don't you just leave?" Kori shot back. At that, Paul growled but he thankfully didn't say another world. And I know why he had nothing to say, Kori thought nastily. She saw how his interest suddenly sparked when she even mentioned Rhyperior. He wants to catch it, that's his business. The way they both acted, they deserved each other.

"Swablu!" Kori and the others looked up. Swablu was in the air above them.

"Did you find them?" Kori called. Swablu nodded.

"Swablu!"

"Please lead the way."

"Swablu." With that, Swablu flew back in the direction he came from. Kori and the others quickly followed.

"CHIM!" Chimchar came down fast with its Iron Tail. "CHAR!'

Rhyperior swatted the smaller pokémon away. Chimchar hit a tree. Oshawott retaliated with a nice, hot Scald. The attack hit Rhyperior without a problem.

Except Rhyperior didn't seem to be getting weakened by the super effective attacks; instead it only seemed to make the rampaging pokémon angrier.

"Chimchar! Oshawott!" The two pokémon immediately recognized their trainers voice, but none of them dared to take their attention off Rhyperior. They were getting tired and they didn't know what to do.

The angry Rhyperior used Rollout that Chimchar managed to dodge but not Oshawott. Oshawott got hit by the attack.

"Oshawott!" Kori ran over to her pokémon and pulled out a pokéball. "Cherubi come out and help!"

"Cherubi!"

"Use Magical Leaf! Swablu use Steel Wing!"

Paul sent out his Chimchar. "Chimchar use Dig."

"Chim!" Chimchar burrowed into the ground until it appeared under Rhyperior, pushing it in the air. Cherubi's Magical Leaf hit it dead on, followed by Swablu's Steel Wing. Rhyperior should have been knocked out.

Should being the operative word. Rhyperior slowly got itself up. Unbelievable, Kori thought to herself. Rhyperior turned on Oshawott, who was still trying to get itself up.

"Oshawott!" Kori ran over to him. "Kori no!" Lyssa called. She took out a pokéball and threw it. "Corsola use Water Gun!"

"Corsola!" Corsola used Water Gun, but Rhyperior countered it with Hammer Arm and continued towards Oshawott and Kori.

"Oshawott are you okay?"

"Osha..."

"Rhy!" The two looked up to see Rhyperior, ready to attack with its horn.

Everyone watched, knowing that they couldn't attack without hurting Kori and Oshawott. Kori tightened her grip on Oshawott. Oshawott knew his trainer was scared. He needed to protect her. "Osha!" Oshawott pulled off his trusted scalchop and instinct took over; he ran towards Rhyperior. Kori noticed the blue sword shape that surrounded the Razor Shell as Oshaowtt attacked Rhyperior, causing the pokémon to finally stay down. Followed shortly by a pokéball that sucked Rhyperior in with a ding.

Kori ran over and hugged Oshawott. Oshawott blushed. "Osha."

"You learned Razor Shell." Kori realized. All of her pokémon ran towards the pair along with Lyssa, who returned her Corsola, and Conway.

Paul on the other hand calmly walked over to the pokéball with his Chimchar. He picked it up and left; didn't even look back and no one seemed to notice he was gone.

"Thank you for your help Conway," Kori called, waving.

"Chim chim."

"Osha."

"See ya around." Lyssa waved.

Conway just smiled and walked in the other direction to continue on with his own journey.

Kori, Lyssa, Chimchar and Oshawott left in the opposite direction. On their way to Oreburgh City.
