With the food secure, the trio left the tree back to the cave. However nothing would ever be so easy. As they ran away, suddenly a figure bursts out from the forest, slamming a smaller creature to the ground. The bigger beast appeared to be some sort of furry poodle, but unlike the sort of prim and fancy show dogs one might expect to be hanging around rich classy socialites, this dog had a more ragged and barbaric look to it. His mouth was locked in a snarl as he smashed the smaller beast into the ground. The small animal, likely another pokemon, looked to be a rabbit of some sort but there something... Off about it. It appeared to be monochromatic with red piercing eyes.

Another slam and and the creature went limp. But unlike most dying animals, this pokemon didn't just go limp. It's form faded away as the wind blew it's remains to dust. The poodle pokemon looked at the trio with some confusion but before he could do much, four more strange looking pokemon arrived. Each one was different, yet they all had the same monochromatic color scheme with glowing red eyes. The poodle growled. [b]"RUN!"[/b] He shouted as he turned towards the strange looking pokemon.

As Lance and Nathan left the cave, they would soon find a surprise themselves. A monochromatic pokemon, turning towards them with a dead expression. He looked like some sort of goofy beaver, but he didn't seem interested in doing anything silly. The pokemon approached the two slowly but as he got closer he started to gnash his teeth together threateningly.
