"What the hell was that!" Florian screeched ready to leave.

"Sounds like it came from down there" Julianna and Nemona started on their way down the hill.

"Wait no you can't seriously be going down there"

"Don't be scared Florian there's not going to be anything that dangerous around here" Julianna explained.

"Ya in a place like this near a populated area, there's not going to be anything that could be dangerous to a person" Nemona added.

"I mean I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen anything bad-" Nemona was interrupted when the hill beneath their feet began to break apart.

Florian and Julianna slid down the cliff, their Rotom phones giving them something to break their fall.

"Oh my god are you okay!" Nemona called out.

"I'm fine!" Florian yelled back aggressively.

"Ya I'm okay"

Nemona was oddly silent at the top.

"I've got some bad news I don't see a way up"

"What do you mean you don't see a way up!" Florian shouted back, angry that he was in this situation to begin with.

"This path ends in a dead end. Just wait here I'll go and look for another way up" Nemona darted off leaving the two of them to their own devices.

"Florian you've got a cut on you're cheek" Julianna tried to examine the bleeding wound on his face.

"I'm fine!" He swatted her hand away. He knew there was a cut on his cheek how stupid did she think he was?

"Gyiia-oww!" the mysterious cries rang out from the beach.

"That close it sounds like it's coming from over there" Julianna ran down the beach with Florian following her.

Maybe Julianna was a fast runner or Florian was just slower than he thought but he was having a hard time keeping up.

He was so focused on keeping up with her that he didn't see her stop and nearly crashed into her.

In front of them was a large and very strange Pokémon.

Ash had an odd feeling when he woke up this morning.

At first, he chalked it up to simply not being used to being awake this early in a long time.

But something kept telling him there was something more going on here that warranted his strange feeling.

Pikachu seemed to sense something too. The electric mouse was fidgeting about by Ash's bedside.

He decided the best thing to do to get him out of his funk was to go for a walk.

Julianna didn't know what to make of the strange beast in front of her.

The best way to describe it was like a Cyclizar but wrong. It was far larger than a Cyclizar covered in light red scales with white markings. What might be the strangest was the tufts of blue and white feathers running down its back, forming a crest on its head resembling handlebars.

"What kind of freaky fucking lizard is that?" Florian screeched.

"I don't know but it looks hurt" Julianna examined what looked to be bruises across its scaly hide.

"Get back i-it could be dangerous" Florian stammered.

"Look at it it's harmless"

"Gwia-oww!" the mysterious Pokémon rose onto its front legs and sniffed at the two of them.

"Back get b-back you beast!" Florian hurled a sandwich from his bag that landed at its feat.

The mysterious Pokémon sniffed the sandwich. Once it was determined to be appealing it was quickly scarfed down.

"Gyiia-owwww!" the strange Pokémon got invigorated by the food rearing into a bipedal stance and began making its way down the beach.

With a swing of its mighty fist, it cracked open a hole in the cliff revealing a cave to the surface.

"Julianna Florian what the heck is that thing!"

"I don't know but he found us an exit" Florian replied as they stepped into the cave.

"Wait there's strong Pokémon in there!"

"Ya ya we'll keep an eye out for it"

Even if they didn't see anything Julianna and Florian decided to let out Quaxly and Fuecoco.

"Julianna! Florian! Behind you!" Nemona screamed.

A large Houndoom was charging at them skidding to a halt when they turned to face it.

"Doooom!" The Houndoom let out a piercing howl summoning a pack of Houndour to fight for it.

"Dour!" the Houndour charged teeth glowing for a Bite attack.

"Quaxly use Water Gun!"

"Fuecoco use Ember!"

The two starters let off their elemental attacks dispersing the Houndour.

But it didn't stop them and they got back afterward.

The two kept firing off Water Guns and Embers but the Houndour kept on coming.

And Julianna could tell that Florian was getting angry.

"Iglesias put some fucking hustle into it this is a crisis" Florian gave him a tap on the back with his foot.

That didn't get Fuecoco to move faster.

One of the Houndour lunged at Fuecoco with Bite. Quaxly kicked it out of the way with Pound.

"Dammit Iglesias move it!" Florian gave him another harder kick.

That seemed to spur Fuecoco into action and he started letting off more Embers to disperse the Houndour.

Enraged the Houndour switched to using Ember and Incinerate sending embers sparking at their feet.

"Dooom!" Houndoom called in more Houndour cutting off any chance of escaping.

This was looking really bad.

Despite Quaxly and Fuecoco's best efforts the Houndour were gaining on them surrounding them in a circle of fire.

"Gwia-oww!" suddenly the mysterious Pokémon leaped to their aid, clearing a dozen Houndour with Breaking Swipe and sending more running with Break Break.

"Doooom!" the Houndoom called in more Houndour but the Pokémon kept pushing forward bowling through another dozen with Wild Charge.

With a frustrated growl, the Houndoom leaped at the Pokémon itself attacking it with a Dark Pulse. It looked like a strong attack to both of them but the Pokémon blocked it like it was nothing.

The Pokémon retaliated with a Brick Break slamming the Houndoom into the ground and then blasting it away with Stomping Tantrum.

More and more Houndour came out of the woodworks at the sound of their leader's pained cries dogpiling the Pokémon.

Julianna and Florian watched as the Pokémon was submerged in a swarm of black fur and flames.

"Gyiia-owwww!" with a final burst of energy the Pokémon broke out from the Houndours grip breaking into a gallop on all fours scooping the two of them onto its back.

They rushed to return their Pokémon to their Pokeballs as they ran up the cavern walls the Pokémon clearing the final hurdle in a single bounding leap landing on the ground with a thud.

The Pokémon collapsed back onto all fours panting, all of its energy spent from the fight.

"Oh my goodness, are you okay?" Nemona ran over to them checking them for wounds.

"Don't ever make me do that again!" Florian panted face planting onto the grass.

"Ya I'm fine" Juliana pulled herself up dusting her clothes off.

"Now what the hell is this thing"

The group didn't know that another party was watching them.

"What do you think Pikachu Lovely region isn't it?"

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu replied agreeing with Ash.

They were currently on a path by Cabo Poko overlooking the beach and sea below.

It was then he saw the blurry shape of something coming racing across the sky.

"What the?" Maybe his odd feeling in the morning was justified after all.

A quick jog over revealed what the shape was.

It was Nemona.

Two other students from the academy.

And a Pokémon Ash had never seen before.

A mysterious Pokémon appears at Ash's feet yet again.

Just his luck.
