"Rawr!" Leroy yowled at the wild Pidgey. Then he shot himself at the chicken nugget.
"AWK! AWK!" the Pidgey screeched before Leroy let the mangly thing go.
Leroy brushed off the feathers and licked his paws. Meowth like him had to remain clean after chasing wet-poopers like those off their territory. He owned the little area surrounded by gates in Route 8, next to Lavender Town. For a long time, Pidgey and Vulpix and the occasional Meowth would roam the little area. That was before he came, Leroy, the tough Meowth that shoved Vulpix to the other side of the gates with ease.
Trainers would also come, eager to fill out their Pokedex with new Pokémon, but Leroy ripped their little handbags and scratched their legs till they left.
"Bark! Bark!" Leroy looked across and saw two Vulpix barking on the other side of the gate, Jackal and Blade, two scarred and rough-pawed Vulpix that were mates.
"HEY! Little kitty!" Jackal taunted.
"Can't get us from the other side!" Blade sneered.
"Good," Leroy responded casually "I don't need to."
That sent Jackal and Blade into a barking-frenzy, which slightly annoyed Leroy. Then a ear-piercing roar from behind the bushes sent Jackal and Blade running away. Leroy looked up, but only saw a pair of red eyes and a ball of fire behind them.
"ROOOAAARRRR!" the creature yelled. Then it put the ball of fire that was on it's tail to it's nose. Leroy got a much better look at the creature, which was an unusually jet-black Charizard.
Leroy's whole body shuddered as the Charizard broke the gate with it's feet and locked eyes with Leroy's. He didn't know any moves that could've helped him right at the moment, so he closed his eyes in hope that he would die a quick and painless death...
"Yelp!"
Leroy opened his eyes and saw that the Charizard was pulling its left leg helplessly, yelping each time it pulled. Leroy squinted his eyes to see that it was a snare tied around it's ankle. He walked up and touched the snare.
"ROOOOAAARRR!" the Charizard screamed when Leroy touched the snare on its leg. Then Leroy pulled the snare to pry it open. After 5 minutes, he opened it wide enough to release it from the Charizard.
The Charizard gasped and looked down at Leroy.
"You saved me," the Charizard whispered. Leroy was shocked to hear that the Charizard was female.
"Oh...it was nothing," Leroy said, despite the aching pain in his arms.
"No, not just me, if you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have been able to get back to my eggs and they would've died," the Charizard whispered gratefully.
"Your eggs?" Leroy said curiously. Then the Charizard put Leroy on her head.
"I will show you," Elizabeth said. "Oh, and my name is Elizabeth."
"Leroy," Leroy responded before him and Elizabeth flew off.
Huh, Elizabeth Leroy thought to himself.
