CHAPTER 12

"Are you Mocking me, Boy?", Snachez Said, Anger Visibly present in his Tone.

However, The man didn't seem to see how angry Sanchez is. Raising his arm to Scratch the back of his head, The Man Laughed lightheartedly, Having the decency to be Embarassed About what he just did.

"Hahaha, I'm Sorry. I Just, You know, Can't help it. Name's Zuem, By the way. So, What do we have here?" The man Asked Loudly, Head turning Around As he eyed the people and pokémons around him.

"You've got guts For Teasing me boy, I'll Give you that. So, Any last words?", Sanchez Said In a low voice before Aiming the Gun in his hand towards The Newcomer.

"Hmmm? What did I Said About not Pointing that thing carelessly? Escanor, Do your thing buddy!"

From the trees Behind Sanchez, A Figure Came out and flew towards him In great speeds. Snachez Heard the sound of leaves moving behind Him and was about to turn when something flew past his Head and Swept the Gun in his hand In a blink of an eye.

Shocked, Sanchez Turned to his head and saw the Gun Is now absent. Looking around, Hhe saw the gun. . .In a Big Spearow's Claws. The Spearow was Standing Beside the newcomer, Eyeing him Coldly with it's Beady Black Eyes.

"You're Pushing your luck boy. Now, Give that back before I Do Something that I might regret later", Sanchez Growled And Said.

The Man's Eyebrows Rose In surprise.

"Wow, That's. . .That's Freaking Scary, You know? Alright, I'd Like to see what this Action that You Might regret Doing Is. Here, Escanor, can You Please hand me The junk? Yes, Thank you. Now, Here. I'm Holding your Toy. What're you Gonna do?", The Man said, Playfulness Present in his voice.

Snachez Gritted His teeth in anger. It's Been a Long time Since someone Mocked him like this. Humiliate him like this.

"Ninjask, Leave that Bug Be and bring me this Bastard's Head!"

Ninjask Stopped it self from Knocking It's Opponent up with Metal Claw And Looked Back towards it's Trainer. The pokémon eyed him for a moment before nodding.

Wings Buzzing Loudly, Ninjask zigzagged Towards the newcomer, It's Insectoid Arms Gloeing brightly With Metal Claw. The Man Turned to Look at it With surpising calmness.

Jessica, Rebbecca And the others including Sanchez's Men Stared at the Man Furiously. You're about to die and you're Still trying to Act cool?!

Jessica Stared at her savior Fearfully. Fear For his life And Her life because If the man Died, Then She will be the next one, For sure. Seeing how Angry Sanchez Was, Jessica doubt That he will let her live after he was done taking their pokémons.

Sanchez Saw the man Not moving, Immediately assuming that the Man Must've Been frozen With fear.

'Foolish Boy, This is what you get for Angering the Great Sanchez III!'

"Nin, Ninjask!"

When The Ninja Pokémon Reached Five Meters Awya from the Man, A huge Shadow Suddenly appeared from Above and Pinned it Hard With it's Blade like Talons into the ground, Making A Small Crater Appear beneath it.

The Ninja Pokémon Groaned in pain, It's entire body now shaking from The Sudden Sneak Attack.

Snachez stared At the Pokémon Standing Over His ninjask. It is covered with brown feathers, has a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. It has a crest of pinkish-red feathers on its head and black, angular markings behind its black eyes. The plumage of its tail has alternating red and yellow feathers with ragged tips. A Pidgeotto.

As one Of the Most Territorial Pokémons That can be found in this forest, Pidgeottos Were known For chasing Both Unwanted Humans And pokémons Away from it's Territory. Circling Around it's Territory High up in the skies, No Intruders Can Slip Past it's Keen eyes.

Although Pidgeys Were Quite Common Around the World, Pidgeotto's Only appeared In Places like this Or Gym Battles, Arenas, Tournaments and Many more Events That required a Pokémon in order to participate.

"Man, You're too harsh with it, Haribon. Give the Poor thing some slack, Would Ya'? Now, As for you, What're you gonna do now?", The man said, Twirling the Gun in his hand Like a Cowboy.

Sanchez Gritted his teeth and Turned to His men, Who he found Were gawking Dumbly at them.

"What The heck Do you Bastards think you're Doing?! Move! Get him and Bring me his Fucking Head!"

The Group of Men Snapped out from their Daze and Salutes At him Fearfully.

"Yes, Boss! We'll Do it Immediately!"

After saying that, They Hurriedly Recalled their pokémons To their Side In order to prepare for An Upcoming Battle. Ekans Released the Paras in it's Grasp, Dodrio Gave the Venomoth In it's Feet One final Peck before running back it's Trainer' Side, Raticate Nodded and Eyed parasect For A Moment before Running Back To it's Trainer. Kofffing Also Heard His Trainer And Floated Away From the Half-Unconscious Butterfree.

The Man Saw them Recal their pokémons And Couldn't help But grin beneath his mask.

"Now we're talking. It's Nice to see you guys Growing some balls! Choosing to Battle Like a Real Man Instead Of using this Thing Like A Sissy. Escanor, You up For A Battle, Buddy?" The Man Stopped Twirling the gun in his hand before Placing it inside the Quiver in his back. A thing That Others Didn't Noticed previously.

The spearow Beside him Looked up before nodding, his Entire Body Trembling With Excitement and Anticipation.

Sanchez Heard His Words, Fueling His Anger even more.

Pedro, The Trainer Of Dodrio, Decided that He Himself is Enough to Take down that Cocky Brat's Spearow.

"Boss, Let me handle him, Alright? I'll make this loud mouthed Bastard shut his Trap Since he's starting to get on my nerves", Pedro Said, His Voice Going low Dangerously.

Sanchez Eyed His Subordinate Silently, assessing Him With his Cold eyes Before nodding.

"Just make sure you Bring him to me Alive, Understood?"

Pedro Heard Him and Nodded Repeatedly like a Chicken.

"Y-yes, Of course, Boss. I'll surely Do That, Without a Doubt!"

Seeing Pedro Step Forward, The Man Couldn't stop the smile from Appearing in his face.

"Nice! Now that's the Spirit. Escanor, I choose you!"

The spearow Cawed Before Taking off into the air, Hovering In front Of the Man. Pedro Saw that as his cue and Ordered his Dodrio To Move forward. The Three headed Pokémon Eyed Escanor Intensly, Scanning every Nook and cranny of his body.

"Alright, Let's Begin with Astonish!", The Man With the mask Said Aas His Spearow Reared His head back A little bit before Shouting At Dodrio in a Startling Manner.

Faced with the Sudden Yell, Dodrio Flinched For A Second or two, An opportunity that the man immediately Took adavantage of.

"Well done! Now use Wing attack!"

The spearow Cawed Loudly. Before diving towards Dodrio, his pair of wings glowing Brightly.

Pedro saw the Pokémon Diving from the skies And immediately went to work. His Head twisting and turning, Pedro finally decided on what move He'll use next.

"Dodrio, Use Drill peck And meet Spearow Head On!"

"Do, Do! Drio!" The Triple Bird pokémon Loudly Said It's Name Before It's Three becks Began to spin. Wind Swirled Around it Before Dodrio Leapt Into the air, It's Three Beaks Aimed Forward.

The Spearow Saw It's Opponent's Move. Eyes narrowing Coldly, The spearow Suddenly Began to Spin It's Body, Wing attack Still Active. Under the Watchful Eyes of everyone Below, The Spinning beaks Of Dodrio And the Spinning form Of Spearow Collided.

Smoke Filled The Air Before Dodrio Came crashing Into the ground. A groan was heard as The Triple Bird pokémon Kissed the Ground, A Small Crater Now Formed Beneath it.

In the Air, The Smoke Began to disperse and the Spearow Was Seen Hovering, It's Black beady eyes Staring At the Struggling form of it's Opponent.

Pedro Gritted his teeth, Knowing How that Exchanged Injured His Dodrio Quite Severly.

"Dodrio, Stand Up! We can't Lose to some Brat Playing A Hero Now, Can't We?! Get Up and use Supersonic!"

The Dodrio Heard it's Trainer So it Forced it's Beat up body to stand up To do what it's Trainer Ordered it.

Beaks Opening wide, Dodrio Began to Release Waves after waves of Ear Splitting sound. The Man with the Mask Saw what it's Trying to do and smiled Under his mask.

The Man Was about to Tell his pokémon What to do Next when several voices interupted Him.

"Ekans, Use Sludge Bomb!"

"Raticate, Use Thunderbolt!"

"Koffing, Use Thunderbolt too"

Multiple Sludge Bombs Flew towards Spearow, Who, Fortunately, Managed to See the attacks In time And Evaded every single one of them But What Spearow Failed to see was the two Streaks Of Lightning That Came Crashing Onto him. The spearow Cried in Pain before Dropping Down into the ground, Hardly.

The Man with mask Frowned, His Eyes Now Turning cold As He watched his spearow Twitch in pain. Turning Towards The Poachers, The Man saw Sanchez And His Lackeys standing there with A wide grin In their lips.

"So that's How you want to Play, Huh? As expected From a Group of scums That made a Living by Turning Someone's Lives into hell. Fine, I'll Play your Little Game So, Let's Have Some fun, Alright?"
