And there she'd been, thinking she'd have to drag Nyxx along. Now, even with all the climbing and walking she was used to doing, she was the one having trouble keeping up. Watching the girl go from a near-comatose state to a full-on sprint had been like watching a Slakoth suddenly evolve into a Vigoroth. Or so Amber assumed, anyway. It would surely be interesting to watch a Pokemon evolve... If the group got out of here alive, that was.

Glancing up at the sky, Amber stared for a moment. That pink Pokemon... She couldn't be sure, it was too far ahead, but... It couldn't be [i]that[/i] particular Pokemon, could it? She remembered what her mother had told her about the Cinnabar experiments...

Now was no time to get distracted. She ran at full speed, only to slow and stop as she reached the side of the road.

Yet more chaos had broken loose. Beside a totalled ambulance, a group of men in strange uniforms surrounded four young adults, three of whom sported cuts and bruises. A fight between Pokemon raged full-force, and this was no regular battle.

A man staggering to his feet beside a Rhyhorn turned and glared at her. [color=red]"Just what we need, another witness,"[/color] he snarled. [color=red]"Rhyhorn, get her!"[/color] The rock Pokemon charged.

Rushing out of the way and thinking quickly, Amber sent out Kabuto. [color=chocolate]"Use Absorb!"[/color] she commanded. Kabuto fired a red beam from his front claws, enveloping the Rhyhorn in a bright glow and draining its energy. The move wouldn't have done much to most Pokemon, but the effect it had on a dual Rock and Ground type was a different matter. The Rhyhorn slowed, letting out a growl.

Would that, along with the other Pokemon's attacks, be enough to stop it? Amber could only hope it would be. This wasn't exactly the kind of challenge she was prepared for.
