Leroy looked up at the sky while holding onto Elizabeth's horns, it was becoming day.

"How far are we from Lavender Town?" Leroy asked.

"Not very far," Elizabeth responded. "My nest is nearby a cave of Diglett, much better than any other place teeming with creatures almost my size."

"And you keep your eggs there?" Leroy asked.

"No, I keep them in a pit full of Ekans," Elizabeth said much to Leroy's shock. "Don't be stupid! Of course I keep them in my nest!"

Leroy laughed nervously and stopped. Elizabeth was flying downward now towards a big tree.

"My nest is down there," Elizabeth said, pointing her snout at a big nest on the tree. Then they landed. Leroy looked to see that there were 3 eggs.

"Their father didn't want to raise them," Elizabeth sighed. "It probably would've been easier if I mated with a Charizard."

"He wasn't a Charizard?" Leroy asked curiously.

"No, he was a Nidorino," Elizabeth replied. "But of course, I need to move on and be a mother to these eggs."

"Is this your first time?" Leroy asked.

"No, I've raised many eggs, all on my own" Elizabeth explained.

"Are they all fathered by the Nidorino?" Leroy asked.

"No, all different fathers each time," Elizabeth sighed. "None of them stick around, except Charlie."

"Who was Charlie?" Leroy asked.

"He was my 2nd mate, a Charizard, like me. He stayed for our eggs, but before they hatched, he was captured by a trainer and taken away to a different region," Elizabeth said. Then tears rolled into her scales. "I hate humans! They took the only mate that stuck around for me, they catch Pokémon! Taking them from their families! Destroying their dreams!"

Leroy was surprised by the emotion in the big dragon's voice. Then Elizabeth curled her shadow-colored tail around her eggs.

"I just want to live somewhere free of humans," Elizabeth whimpered. Leroy felt sympathy for her, then he eyes opened wide. Wait, when do I feel sympathy for ANYBODY? Leroy thought that was odd. "Oh yea. I forgot to go hunt something for myself. A Spearow or two would be nice."

"Um...I..I'll watch the eggs for you," Leroy meowed.

"Really?" Elizabeth said in surprise. "Thank you!"

She nuzzled Leroy's chest and then took flight.

Wow. Leroy thought. He didn't know what Elizabeth was doing to him, but it's leaving him wanting more.

Elizabeth flew off into the trees and saw a pair of Spearow on a branch. Perfect. Elizabeth thought, then she got into a pounce position and was ready to shoot a burst of flame at the unsuspecting bird Pokémon.

Then a blast of water hit her.
