Troubling Situation

"I-i-is that Zaron?!!"

Avian recognized Zaron from their fight in the forest, he was amazed by how much skill he had, he had previously defeated Avian in their quick but fun battle. Grookey had used Razor blade to create a smoke screen to give them a chance to escape. Avian managed to get out with Froakie, he looked behind to see if Serenity was there. Avian called out to Serenity, but there was no response. Avian was worried, just when he went to talk to Zaron the smoke screen cleared. He saw Serenity and Charmander in a cage.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RELEASE THEM" yelled Avian

"They won't be freed anytime soon, this is what you get when you mess with the Iron Council, she will now be put in the training camp and will soon become a member of the Iron Council"

"Y-y-you can't do that, FREE HER RIGHT NOWWWW"

"Come and try to take her back..."

Avian got up and sprinted towards the grunt, the Meowth used scratch on Avian. Froakie jumped up and used bubble. The grunt pushed Avian to the floor, Zaron rushed in with grookey, he told grookey to use fakeout. The fakeout did significant damage to the Meowth. The other grunts standing behind the cage noticed that they would lose unless they all charged in. Zaron understanding the situation realized their only hope of survival was retreating now and returning later. Zaron told Avian to stand up, Avian knowing his options saw his childhood best friend being taken away, he wasn't ready for what was to come. Zaron grabbed Avian and pulled him back, he had told Grookey to cause a mist of smoke again, the 4 managed to get away but just barely. Avian sat on the floor crying and screaming, he knew it was his fault. He couldn't save her, he couldn't help her when she needed him the most. Avian looked at the sky and saw a helicopter take off, it looked as if all of the members had taken off. Avian ran back in to see the area empty, he had failed. Avian fell to the floor and screamed the loudest he could. Zaron walked up and stood beside him.

"Don't worry we are going to find that training camp and get her back, mark my words we will defeat the Iron Council."

Avian glanced up and nodded, now he had 1 goal on his mind: to defeat the Iron Council. He was ready to train the hardest he had to, just to be the best. Avian and Zaron walked towards the forest and got ready to train. The two trained for hours and hours and hours, and Avian was ready to challenge the second gym to get stronger. He knew that defeating the Council would be no easy task.
