Not even a total of 48 hours passed before the plan was complete. The Gym leaders made sure to let their families know what was to come and who would be in charge of what if anything happened. Of course, their families were worried for them, but they knew they had the Gym leader's responsibilities.

They were taking an armored car with a few rangers Rose assigned for them in case they needed backup. Piers looked out the window as they drove, watching the snowfall on the ground. He had a bad feeling about this. He had told his sister what was happening, and she broke down, asking him not to go and let the other gym leaders deal with it. He, of course, didn't do that, but it broke his heart when she broke down. He wondered if his soul sister would be like her or different. Would she ask him not to go, or would she encourage him to go and take care of the problem (the soul sibling's soul mark was a tiny puzzle piece that fit perfectly with their soul siblings' Mark) He had always wondered if his soul sibling would leave after finding out that he hated Gigantimax or if she would start to ignore him for her actual soulmate like his younger sister started doing after she met Hop?

"We have to stop here. The snow is too high for us to get there in the truck," the driver said as he Stopped. Everyone nodded and started to gather their things to get out of the car. Piers grabbed his bag and jacket before getting out, ensuring everything was in its place.

"Alright, everyone, Charizard will lead us to the cave from here on out. make sure to keep an eye out and Kabu, make sure you keep an eye on the Lake, so we don't get ambushed by the Pokemon in there." Leon said as he took out Charizard. "You ready, buddy," Leon asked. His Charizard just nodded and turned to start leading. " and remember follow the plan and remember if anything goes wrong contact the group," Leon spoke as everyone nodded before going to their assigned tasks.

They walked for a couple of miles until they got to the Lake, where they could see some destroyed boats lying in the snow. Kabu approached but didn't see anything in the Lake. The Pokemon wasn't there, so it might have been under the water. Nessa sent out her arrokuda to inspect the water and report or lead the Pokemon to the surface where they could attack it. She stayed with Kabu and a couple of rangers to ensure everything went well as the rest of the group continued.

As they continued, they all started to get a bad feeling like Pears was having in the truck. But they continue through the plan and split up, allowing Raihan and Leon to go further.

There was some distance away before something happened. everything in the situation felt odd. Charizard acted very uneasily as they continued through the snow and kept looking in all directions. Still, he continued forward toward the Direction of the cave. All of a sudden, Leon let out a shout.

"Hold on, I see something in front," Leon said as he told everyone to stop. His Charizard just glared up ahead but said and did nothing. as they watched the still-falling snow, they could make out a figure. "is there anyone out there" Leon yelled.

"...h….p…" they heard a voice coming from ahead.

"We can't hear you. Do you need help!" Leon asked as he glared to get a better look. The figure walked closer, and it looked like they were limping. He and Raihan wondered what someone was doing there since the wild area had been close to the public for the last few days. Did someone climb over the barrier and get stuck, or were they already stuck before the wild area was closed. "are you hurt? Please respond"

"Please…. help…" the voice said. It sounded raspy as the person got closer, but they could place it in a man's voice. "help..help," the man called. Leon nodded, took it as a sign, and started walking closer with his Charizard.

"hold on, Leon," Raihan stopped him from walking, making Leon look at him "hold on, something seems off to look at Charizard."

Leon looked over at Charizard and realized what Raihan meant. Something was making him nervous, and if he knew his Pokemon well, he knew that Charizard never got anxious about anything. Leon looked over at the man again and paused. He felt terrible whenever he looked at him, but he couldn't help the man. The closer the man got, the more the feeling of emptiness got closer, and the more his Charizard growled.

"Leon, I'm getting a bad feeling about this…." Raihan said as he took out his Pokeball for Flygon

"help… help me please… I need help. "The man said as he got closer. he was still a good couple of meters away from them, but the closer he got, the more the Pokemon got nervous. "please… I'm so cold…I can't breathe…."

They waited a couple more minutes before Leon started to walk toward the man again. From the looks of it, the closer Leon got, the more features he saw of the man covered in snow and ice. The man looked in his early 30s to late 20s; he had blond hair, a blue coat, and a backpack that seemed to be filled to the brim.

"Sir, how did you end up here?" Leon asked, realizing something was wrong the closer the man got. "sir, please stop walking. You might end up hurting yourself more." Leon said, but the man ignored him. Raihan grabbed his arm, trying to pull him back as a sense of malice hit them.

"Please… help me…" the man said as he continued to walk. Once he was a couple of feet away, Charizard stepped forward to stand in front of Leon protectively. Leon just let his Pokemon do so, not bothering to look away from the man now feeling something terrible from the bottom of his stomach. "Please, I need help…. I need help," the man said as he tried to take another step but was attacked with an Air Slash by Charizard. The man was thrown back multiple feet away and landed on his back.
"Charizard!" Leon yelled as Raihan took out his Flygon from his Pokeball. "What's wrong, buddy," Leon asked as his Charizard glared at the man thrown a couple of feet away from them. "Sir, sir, are you alright?" Leon yelled as he was about to run at the man to make sure he was alright, but his Charizard stopped him again. from a couple of feet away, the man got up from the snow and shook off the snow that was on him. He looked perfect, almost like a Charizard never hurt him or from any injury beforehand "sir…." Leon started but stopped when a slight breeze made more snowfall in one Direction. The snow seems to pick up just slightly.

"Well, that was rude, don't you think…." The man said as he started laughing. With the snow in the way, Leon and Raiahan could hardly see a couple of feet in front of them, but they saw when the man's blond hair grew longer and when it turned white with red tips. The man's face looked almost fox-like as the snow fell harder. The man's clothes seemed to merge with his skin as his skin turned to pure white fur. Everyone's eyes widened as the man turned into a pokemon they had never seen before. The Pokemon seemed to laugh as it roared into the open air. It turned its attention back to Leon and Raiahn and their Pokemon before a dark feeling overcame them. It was so dark they almost dropped to the ground at the sense of malice coming from the Pokemon.

"Charizard use Flamethrower now," Leon ordered as his Charizard let out a roar and attacked as the other Pokemon stood there with a malicious look.


Allister walked with his sister through the snow, ensuring his Gengar was in front of him. Bea had her pangoro out ready just in case anything happened. they had been walking for a couple of minutes since they left Kabu and Nessa at the Lake and since they split up with the rest of the group. Piers mainly kept to himself further up ahead, trying to get a scope of the area.

It was silent.

He didn't see anything for miles other than snow and ice. Suddenly he paused. He heard something in the distance.

'humans… to close to den… get away humans…' he heard a voice.

"what's wrong, Allister? Did you see anything?" Bea asked as she looked back at him. He nodded as his Gengar got closer to him to see if he was alright.

'humans… I hate all humans except mamas… I see humans…' he heard the voice again. It sounded almost childlike.

"Did you hear that?" he asked Bea, who just shook her head." I think… it's a ghost-type pokemon up ahead… it doesn't like humans…" he said. Bea nodded and looked around and didn't see anything until she looked in the Direction that the Lake was in. there stood a little boy with a big hat on his head with a pink outfit. He looked calm, considering where he was.

"I think I found it…." Bea said as she pointed at the boy. Alister looked over and, all of a sudden stopped. He got a sudden sadness and betrayal by the Direction the boy was in. It almost scared him how calm and composed the child looked. He looked even younger than him.

'human bad… kill humans… get back to the den to protect mama's human…' the ghost pokemon said in its spiritual voice. The boy slowly walked closer, not saying a word as he did so. 'Humans hurt pokemon… humans are liars.'

"hello…" Alister started as the boy walked closer. The boy stopped and looked at him, panicked. He was hoping to surprise them to catch them off guard" don't worry, we won't hurt you," he said, Bea leaving him to handle the ghost type.

"I'm lost. Can you help me" the boy spoke and his childish voice with his head down, looking almost innocent?

"I know what you are… you don't have to hide. We won't hurt you," Allister said as he got closer, with his Gengar following behind him.

"What do you mean…" the boy paused, giving a confused look. If Allister didn't know any better, he would have most likely fallen for That Trick, but he did understand better, so he continued to talk to him.

"I know what you are… you don't have to be afraid… we want to help you and the rest of the Pokemon in the den," Allister said. The boy gave him a wide-eyed look before shaking his head.

'You lie, human… all humans lie except mama's human…' the Pokemon's spirit said instead of the boy.

"I'm not lying… I promise…" Allister said as the boy's eyes widened. Bea watched as the boy's expression changed from confused to alert to angry to Pure rage.

'you understand… you understand like mama human… yet you lie' the boy shook his head, but no actual words left his mouth

"no, I promise I speak nothing but the truth…." Allister said, but his Gengar interrupted him

'You speak from experience. You have no trust in humans; why is that child?' Allister's Gengar asked the Pokemon. His Gengar is one of his team's oldest members, having been alive for at least 50 years, if not slightly longer.

'You traitor like the rest of them… you like the rest… lier….'

'i do not lie, child. We wish to help you and your den mates get to safety. humans are angry about your den mates' attacks…' Gengar said as it glared at the boy. The boy just shook his head before taking a step back.

'humans had it coming… they try to hurt mama's human… they will hurt her again… humans are worse than pokemon… you traitor like the rest of them…' the boy glared as his soft brown hair turned full white with red tips. 'you hurt us like before… you kill our sisters and brothers for our furs… human laugh at our miss fortune… humans kill and eat us… yet you side with them… you are the worst kind of Trader.'
'humans are not like that….' Gengar started.

"I promise you that no one would ever hurt you like that! I swear that whatever happens, nothing like that will ever happen to you or your den mates." Allister yelled as the boy's skin turned white, and he started to shrink.

"Allister, what's going on?" Bea asked, confused, Pangoro also not understanding, standing in front of her to protect her.

"we will never do such things like that. I don't know what humans have done to you in the past, but I swear that nothing like that will ever happen to you," Allister yelled through the snow.

"ZORRUUUAAAA" the Pokemon yelled 'LIIIIEEEERRRRR' the spirit shouted before turning into the snow, crying, and digging a tunnel.

"WAIT" Allister yelled, trying to catch the Pokemon, but it was already gone.

"Allister, what happened, "Bea asked as she chased him

"They are scared… they talked about being skinned and being hunted and how humans made fun of them for suffering and … and…."

"Shhh, calm down and tell me what happened," Bea said as her brother cried into her shoulder as the snow continued to fall harder.

"What happened? Are you two all right" Peirs asked as he rushed to them.

" we're fine, but we need to report this as soon as we can," Bea told him, explaining what had just happened.


Leon was behind a giant rock with Raihan hiding as their Pokémon fought outside with the huge Pokémon. The Pokémon itself was scary and powerful, but its size was what got to them. The Pokémon called out its name like every other Pokémon, but this one called out Zoruark's name as its own. Still, it looked more prominent, and its color was different. And it was much, much more intimidating than a regular Zoruark.

"You okay," Raihan asked as he checked the bruise on his face. He had gotten involved only once, and it was by accident when the Pokemon turned to face him and attack him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was standing too close," Leon stated as he shrugged him off. "We have bigger things to worry about right now, like What type you think it is."

"From the looks of it, it seems to be a Ghost-type, but it seems to have a secondary typing," Raihan said "a Zoruark is normally a dark type, so I'm just going to go with that as it's secondary typing," he said as he sent out his Goodra. The Pokémon went out and started to attack as well. The Pokémon didn't look like it was struggling, but it had its eye on Charizard, shooting it the most. It was almost like it was aiming to kill it.
Charizard was having trouble concentrating, the Pokémon was fast and robust, but the smell of blood and malice made it hard for him to focus on attacking. He knew that the Pokémon were mainly aiming at him, so he dodged most of the hits to allow his trainer's friends' Pokémon to attack, but every time the Pokémon made a hit against him, it felt worse than I gigantamax hit in his standard form.

"Charizard, to me, we are taking this to the sky," Leon yelled as Charizard came back to him, allowing him to jump on his back. The Pokemon saw that and aimed an attack in their Direction, but Raihan's Pokemon attacked it. "Now come on, make it chase you north to allow Raihan to go to the cave," Leon shouted as Charizard flew higher.

"Raihan to the cave. I'll catch up."

"Leon!" Raihan yelled, but the Pokemon threw another attack into the air. And Leon did not seem to hear him as he disappeared, heading north with the Pokemon following him. Raihan cursed before rushing to get closer to the cave, his Pokemon following him.

Once at the entrance, he sighed and tried to catch his breath. he looked back, but because of all the snow, all they could see were a couple of flashes of red and yellow as Leon and the Pokemon attacked each other.

" damn it... If I get caught out here by any other Pokemon, I'm screwed," Raihan cursed. He looked at the cave and then at the covered battlefield with nothing but snow. Before shaking his head and continuing towards the cave, he thought for a moment.

"Torkoal, get on out here," Raihan said as he took out his Torkoal. His Torkoal instantly started sniffing around it, glaring at the snow, and found a snow tunnel leading to the cave entrance. They didn't find any paw prints, but they knew it was fresh because the snow on top didn't have enough time to settle around the entrance.

The Pokemon let out a cry as it sniffed the air again and started walking into the cave.

The Gym leader followed the Pokemon as it sniffed around the cave.

"Torkoal, what are you smelling," Raihan asked his Pokemon as it walked.
They walked for a couple more minutes into the cave, taking out the flashlights given to them by the rangers. They needed to make it halfway through the cave before hearing a roar from outside the cave. It was louder than the cry of the illusion Pokemon they ran into and louder than the roar that the dog Pokemon the video let out, so that must have meant that they finally found the gigantic Pokemon in the Lake. They looked back, waiting for anything to appear, but nothing did. They continued walking deeper into the cave. They could see where the other Rangers had been attacked, for blood and things were all around the cave. Raihan searched through the items left behind but didn't find anything useful.

'Eeeeleeecccttttttrrroooo,' they heard coming from deeper in the cave. They all paused, but the Torkoal's head shot up.

"Torkoal, what's wrong," Raihan noticed something was wrong with his Pokemon. The Pokemon looked confused before calling out to the Pokemon that cried.

'Tttrooooddddeee…." the Pokemon cried again. Raihan froze his spot as he stared into the cave. He didn't know whether to move forward or back away.

As they heard the Pokemon get closer, they realized that it wasn't any pitter-patter or the sound of paws hitting the ground but something rolling. Raihan hid behind his Pokemon as they saw something ahead of them, Torkoal staying in front for some reason. Flygon stood over Raihan protectively, trying to call back his friend as Coalossal watched as the Wild Pokemon got closer.

Once it was in clear sight, they saw that it was a round pokemon. It had red and brown markings looking almost like an Electrode but ten times bigger. Instead of having its usual smirk, it had an angry expression. Still, it seemed nearly concerned as it looked at Torkoal, who just sniffed at the Pokemon. The Pokemon got close to Raihan's Torkoal almost cautiously as it got closer. It didn't seem to see or smell the gym leader as it got closer. It only focused on Torkoal, sniffing at it as it rolled around. He looked at the other Pokemon but turned back to the Torkoal. For a minute, it seemed like the Pokemon wasn't going to do anything but all of a sudden, an electric terrain came around it, indicating that it was about to explode just like other electrodes do when they felt threatened.

"Torkoal, Use Solar beam on that pokemon," Raihan Ordered. Instantly his Pokemon did as commanded and used a solar beam against the electrode.

"EEEEELLLLLEEEEECCTTTTRRRROOOOODDDEEEE" the Pokemon shouted as it regripped itself, balancing itself after being thrown back by the solar beam. Its angry expression returned as it now saw the gym leader. Torkoal called after Raihan as electrode started to throw Energy Balls at the Gym Leader. They blocked it with protect and began to use fire-type moves against it.

From behind them, in the cave entrance, Milo appeared out of nowhere, sending out his Pokemon "Shiftry, Use Leaf Blade," without hesitation instantly started his attack giving the other Pokemon a worried glance and asking if they were okay.

They attacked the Pokemon as it tried to defend itself. The Pokemon knew that it wouldn't be able to win, so it started to roll more into the cave.

"What happened are you all right Raihan" Milo asked, " I'm sorry I couldn't make it here sooner the blizzard really disoriented my Pokemon and we couldn't find the cave entrance."

" we're fine. What happened with the Pokemon in the water."

"Kaku said he had it handled with Nessa, so they sent me to come over here to find you guys. I found Leon battling a Pokemon outside and he yelled at me to come and give you back up in case you need it" he nodded at his friend.

" cool... Let's hurry up and end this before more Pokemon appear." Raihan said as he ran deeper into the cave with Milo behind him and they're Pokemon following them.
They ran a couple meters inside before, and suddenly, they got an intense blast of heat. They all froze as a Pokemon jumped in front of them using protection as a fire blast was thrown at them. Ahead of them, they spotted the gigantic Pokemon from the video. They could hardly see it because of the Shadows, but they knew it was because of the glowing black eyes and the fire-type moves that it attacked them with.

" Goodra, come on out, girl," Raihan spoke as he took out Goodra again. The Pokemon started the battle with a hydro pump, trying to get the wild Pokemon away from its trainer.

'Goooodrrraaaa,' the Pokemon cried as it let out muddy water towards the rock and fire type. The rock type glared at Goodra as a Flapple appeared with a glare on its face. The Pokemon turned and nodded at their trainers as they got ready for battle.

The dog pokemon let out another roar, trying to blow the Gym leader's Pokemon away, but they stood firm as they let out their cries of anger. The Dog pokemon Barked and started to charge up fireballs over its head.

"Goodra, use Muddy water now," Raihan yelled.

"Flapple, Use Dragon rush," Milo instructed as all the Pokemon moved to attack simultaneously. The dog pokemon was thrown off balance for a moment before growling, and it charged at the owned Pokemon with rage.

'BRRRAAAAVVVVV,' They heard from deeper in the cave.

"lookout, there's another pokemon coming," Milo yelled as he used his Shiftry to block an upcoming attack. From behind the dog pokemon, a single bird pokemon that looked like Braviary flue in. It had a white gray with a purple and blue fire mask over its eyes, and behind them stood a pokemon that looked like Semurott. That one must have been the one that attacked the trainer in the hospital. They were right. The Pokemon did look odd, but it still had its hard black shell instead of its brown shell. And behind it was a 7-foot-tall Lucario. The Pokemon let out cries as they charged the trained Pokemon, attacking them with all sorts of moves.

"Shit…" Raihan whispered as his Goodra was overpowered, and he had to send out Duraludon. "We are getting overpowered here… move back. I'm going to send out my full team," he yelled over everything happening. A fire blast was shot out from behind him as he was about to grab the rest of his Pokeballs.

Behind him stood an exhausted Charizard with a tired-looking Leon, who looked just as beat up as his Pokemon. They both looked like they were about to fall with the blow of the wind, but they stood proudly as they continued to advance. The Raihan smiled as they saw Leon, the rest of the Gym leaders let out a sigh of relief as they saw him appear, and the wild Pokemon glared at the new arrivals. Charizard let out a roar, started using Ancient power, and began attacking the Pokemon without orders.

"Leon, you're okay," Milo yelled as he ran to him. "what happened? You look terrible." he said as he worried for his friend.

"I'm fine, Milo, just a couple of scratches," Leon said as he greeted Milo

"Just as Scratch… don't lie, you need to see a medic," Raihan snapped. "What happened to the pokemon you were battling," Raihan asked as he approached to give the man the piece of his mind.

"don't worry; it is being contained as we speak by backup rangers we had prepared." Leon nodded. "Kabu and Nessa have the gigantic pokemon in the lake handled along with another water pokemon that appeared, and they sent me here to help you guys after they received an S.O.S from here," he said and greeted both of them before turning to the Pokemon battle.

" what do we do now it's hard to move forward and if we move back we might get attacked by another Pokemon." Milo spoke

"We have to move forward. Whatever these Pokemon are protecting, we must find out what it is before this gets even more out of hand than it already is," Leon spoke confidently.

" our Pokemon are exhausted. I doubt they'll have enough energy after this battle," Raihan spoke.

" I brought some revives along with some remedial berries. We should be fine for at least another battle. If not, we have some Rangers outside of the cave ready with their Pokemon." Leon nodded at Raihan.


It had taken hours. Specifically, it had taken 3 hours for the Pokemon to be defeated, and it had taken a lot of revives and healing herbs for the Pokemon to continue battling. They were all exhausted after the battle, but they knew the fight was not over. Once the wild Pokemon were subdued, they were instantly taken outside the cave in cages. The Lucario was the hardest to beat out of all of them and was also the hardest to control since it was much larger than a regular 4 ft Lucario.

Everyone was relieved to hear that Leon and the other gym leaders had subdued the wild Pokemon. Even though the Pokemon were defeated, they refused to give up the fight. They desperately tried to get deeper into the cave but were denied access by the Charizard. They all cried and yelled as they fought against the restraints holding them down inside the cages. They had panicked looks in their eyes as they were muzzled so that they would not bite or warn the Pokemon that was deeper inside the cave.

Raihan felt pity for the Pokemon, but he knew this had to be done for their safety and everybody else's.

" all right now that we're almost healed let's make up a battle plan." Leon spoke " from what I've heard, Allister had spotted one of the Pokemon with The Shining, glowing eyes most likely, it was the baby of the Pokemon I defeated outside. So that means that we currently have two baby Pokemon in here that the Pokemon are defending, meaning that most likely they have another Pokemon deeper inside protecting the Young."

" before you got here Raihan and I battled another Pokemon that retreated when it realized it was outnumbered," Milo spoke. " that one might be the one that is taking care of the young. It seemed to be a grass electric type but I could be wrong. It looked like an electrode, but at the same time, it looked different."

" that is quite odd I have noticed some similarities these Pokemon have to other species..." Leon spoke as he healed Charizard.

" let's get this over with before the Pokemon decide to meet us halfway," Raihan spoke as he looked around at his surroundings. They quickly made a plan before they started walking deeper into the cave. As they walked, they kept as little light as possible to not alert the Pokemon inside that they were there.

As they walked closer, they noticed it was getting slightly warmer, not too hot but not freezing cold like outside. And got to the point where they started to see that grass was growing inside the cave, meaning that they were at least getting a little bit of sunlight. That area had not had any sunlight in the past 5 months, much less in a pitch-black cave.

" continue on... The Pokemon might be just around that corner, so be careful," Leon spoke. The gym leader nodded at his command and continued forward. They paused at that corner and noticed a little bit of light coming from that corner, and when they took a peek, they found a tiny little Forest hidden away. In the middle of the room, an artificial sun was created by a Pokemon on a sunny day. Around the artificial sun were trees and grass along with multiple Greenery. There was a little tiny stream coming from one of the walls making it a little river, and all the way in the back, there was a little Hut from what they could see.

They waited a moment before Leon was about to give the command to go forward. Still, just as he was about to, a Pokemon appeared behind one of the trees to take a sip of water. The Pokemon was white with brown antlers and seemed to have a beard. It looked almost like a Stantler. It was much bigger. From behind it came another Pokemon. It was the one from the video, the little dog Pokemon that seemed to be the baby of the Pokemon they had captured.

The baby Pokemon played around with the giant Pokemon, and the huge Pokemon paid no mind to it other than to correct the baby Pokemon from falling into the water. The gym leaders and the champion watched the Pokemon with great interest. They had never seen any Pokemon like them, and they wondered why they were not panicking to protect the Young. They were almost sure that the electric grass Pokemon came to warn them about The Intruders, and it was weird to see the Pokemon acting nonchalant.

"Follow me," Milo spoke, " if we go on this way we can get to that Hut and find out if the trainer is there."

" good idea," Leon spoke as he followed after him.

" I'll stay here just in case you guys get spotted..." Raihan spoke as he stared at the Pokemon.

" Are you sure you're going to be all right by yourself' Leon asked his best friend.

" I'll be fine don't worry you guys just get the answers we're looking for," the grass gym leader and the champion continued on as the Dragon Gym Leader watched them, making sure that they were safe and unseen.

Leon and Milo walked past many branches making sure not to make any loud noise or to alert the Pokemon that they were there. The deeper they walked, the more Pokemon they started to see. There they saw the electric grass Pokemon getting healed by another grass-type Pokemon.

Both of them had stopped to stare at a couple of Pokemon that they had seen, some of them not being familiar because either they were non-native to gather or seemed so eye-catching that they had to stop to look at just like the giant rock bug Pokemon that was just laying under the artificial sun just out of sight of the cave entrance.
They continued forward, not turning to look at the intimidating Pokemon, only looking back to see if they had been spotted, but they had not.

The closer they got to the little Hut in the cave, the less sunlight there was. The Hut seemed to be hidden away just out of the sunlight's rage, but it also had enough daylight to see someone lying inside. From what they could tell, it wasn't a Pokemon, but they could tell that the labored breathing, along with a couple coughs that they heard, meant that someone was injured inside.

The gym leader and the champion looked at each other, trying to place the puzzle together. Were these Pokemon protecting their trainer? Is that why they were reacting in such a violent manner. They continued forward until they were inside the Hut. When they were inside, they found a girl with white hair with a brown blanket over her. They could tell right away that she was not healthy.

Her breathing was labored, and her face beat red but simultaneously very pale. They were right. The Pokemon were protecting their trainer, not like how they thought the Pokemon were abandoned or abused by this, said trainer. Quickly Milo rushed to her side and did a quick medical analysis. With a frown, he looked up at Leon and shook his head, telling him that she was not okay and that they needed to get out of there as soon as possible. Leon looked at the girl and then back outside before deciding to pick her up.

They needed to get out of there as fast as they could, not only for her health but for everybody else's health, including the Pokemon that were attacking. They needed more answers, but her health was the top priority.

Out of nowhere, he hurt a blast from behind him, and Pebbles and dust blocked his vision from the outside. Raihan appeared to have been following them the entire time. He had his back to them as they looked at him, wondering what he was doing there with his Pokemon out. They looked around him and found a slender Pokemon with poisonous-looking claws dripping with purple poison at the ready. The Pokemon growled, and then, almost as if there were summoned, the rest of the Pokemon were there with attacks prepared to fire.

But none of them did.

The gym leaders and the champion stood there Frozen, waiting for something to happen or for someone to start an attack, but nothing happened.

" what's going on" Milo spoke, " why aren't they attacking us."

" it's the girl. They don't want to accidentally harm her," Raihan said. " I noticed after you guys left that this Pokemon was chasing you, hunting you, actually... You guys couldn't see it but it was in the ceiling I saw it crawling to your location," he said as he stared at the slender purple Pokemon.

The Pokémon glared at him before raising its claw as if to point at him.
"Sneeeeeaaasssler..." the Pokemon cried out. All the other Pokemon stood around it, waiting for any command. Still, all anybody could do was freeze...
