The group had all eyes trained on the bush now. After the experience last night, they were on edge for anything. Then came a sound from whatever was in the bush. To the humans, it sounded like a low growl. To the Pokemon, it was something much more. [color=fff200]<S-stay back... I-I mean it... I d-don't want to fight...>[/color] Came the voice from the bush. The two Pokemon on the ground lessened their guard and looked at each other. [color=f7941d]<That doesn't sound like something big and bad...>[/color] Cyndaquil said. [color=c4df9b]<Yeah... hey... who are you? We aren't here to fight you... Nasir, drop your barrier.>[/color]

The bush rustled a bit more, and a form finally emerged. It was a Shinx, a very young one at that. [color=fff200]<Y-you promise?>[/color] The Shinx said as it emerged. [color=f7941d]"Phew, it's just a Shinx. They're really common in this area."[/color] Brent said, turning to walk off. [color=39b54a]"Wait. Look at it..."[/color] Lily said, making Brent take a second glance at it as Lily held up her Pokedex. [i][color=ed1c24]"Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. When it senses danger, the hairs on its body light up and it runs away, leaving its opponent dazed."[/color][/i] The machine replied with the 3D Image of the Pokemon. [color=39b54a]"Look how beat up it looks..."[/color] She pointed out.

Brent turned and looked at it again, seeing the small Flash Pokemon covered in bruises, and with a limp in its front left paw. [color=f7941d]<You don't look so good... are you okay?>[/color] Asked Cyndaquil, taking a step forward which caused the Shinx to step backward. [color=c4df9b]<Cyndaquil, wait. It's okay, Shinx, you can trust us...>[/color] The Shinx shook its head nervously, keeping its eyes on the Humans. [color=fff200]<H-how do I know that? After what that man did to my...>[/color] It started, but it backed up another step, stepping on its front left paw and wincing from the pain.

Lily watched the young electric type wince, and would then kneel down with her hands visible, unable to watch the pained Pokemon suffer any longer. [color=39b54a]"It's okay... I won't hurt you. That must really hurt, doesn't it? I can help you."[/color] She said in a light voice, keeping eye contact and keeping her hands out and visible. The scared Shinx looked at her, not yet trusting but curious.

Sola rolled her eyes as the Silvally explained the situation. [color=a36209]<Oh, Sola's mad now... Torrent did it again!>[/color] Said Hound, bouncing around the group. [color=ec008c]<I'm not mad... Torrent still isn't ready to handle such a powerful move... as you can see it takes just about everything she has.>[/color] She said. The white Vulpix stepping forward next to her. [b]<Sola acts like the mother of our group. She really cares about the well being of everyone.>[/b] Flake replied.

[color=ec008c]<Well someone has to... Arceus knows Hound isn't going to anytime soon...>[/color] She said, Hound poking his head out from behind a bush. [color=a36209]<What?>[/color] He asked blankly. [b]<You have a point there...>[/b] Flake replied.

[color=bc8dbf]"You really think so? They helped me pass my first Trial... barely... I'm not sure if we're really ready for many challenges yet..."[/color] She said, gingerly rubbing the top of Torrent's head. [color=c4df9b]"I'm not sure about my first Contest here, but I'm still going to give it everything I've got. I've waited so long for this chance, I have to give it my all, for me and my Pokemon."[/color] Sierra said, kneeling down next to her Pokemon.
