As the four trainers meandered down the road—the fifth one not too far behind—their conversations were interrupted by crying as they would see a [url=http://data.whicdn.com/images/31883020/large.jpg]young boy[/url] blindly running in their direction. His eyes were soaked in salty tears and emotionally-distressed sobs were leaving his mouth. His face was bruised and his shirt collar looked stretched as though it had been jerked.

Beyond the boy was a gang of rough-looking young men wielding bats and wearing belts of Pokeballs. There were [color=yellow][b]five men[/b][/color] and each had a belt of [color=yellow][b]six Pokeballs[/b][/color] that unknown to the group, they have been stealing from trainers who passed through Route 1.

“Whatta' weak-ass kid,” the bully with the yellow Mohawk scoffed behind a heartless grin.

“Hey, go on and open up that Pokeball and see what that runt got!” came the bully with the bushy red hair and nose ring. The ring hung from his nose like a bull—hardly attractive.

“[i]Aaalll~right![/i] Let’s see what we got here.”

The Mohawk tossed the ball onto the ground and in a flash of light, the ball opened and deposited a form onto the grass. The form grew and molded into a creature with two large ears before the white-glare winked away to reveal a purple Pokemon.

Blinking his red eyes, the [url=http://img10.deviantart.net/0bc7/i/2015/207/0/b/032_nidoran_m__by_tamtamdi-d92xe1e.jpg]Nidoran[/url] looked left and right in confusion. Where had Tommy gone?

“What is it?” asked one of the gang members.

The gang surrounded the Nidoran, causing the Pokemon’s hackles to raise defensively.

“Looks like a dumb rabbit!” one of them snorted and grasped his belly as he started to laugh.

The ganger with the yellow Mohawk held the Nidoran’s ball out to him as he declared, “You’re mine now rabbit. Your trainer was too much of a bitch to stop us from taking you.”

The Nidoran frowned up at his bully-trainer. He knew that Tommy was weak and kind of annoying…but…he did deserve a stronger trainer…right?
