CHAPTER 5

Survival. Now that The Greetings and introduction was done, It was now time to Worry about How Muez And haribon Will survive in this harsh, Cruel World Or forest Full of Pokémons.

Arbok had been the perfect example of Muez's Earlier thoughts about how Not all pokémons will act goody goody with you when you encounter them in the wild. Some will simoly view you as A nuisance, Some will View you as a threat and lastly, Some will view you as a meal.

"Alright Haribon, Can you do Me a favor? Can you please fly up into the skies and try Looking for Settkements where more humans like me can be found?", Muez Asked Haribon. Finding Civilizations with haribons Ability to fly Will Obviously make looking for one easier.

Haribon Understood his request and Nodded at him Before taking off to the skies to look for Human settlements.

Muez, Now all alone in this Unknown forest, Now decided on the next course of actions that he will take in order to survive here.

"First, Find A Source if water. A human can survive without food for Three days But It's A huge no no for Water, Though. Or maybe, I can Wait for Haribon to Coneback so I can Have some protection while looking for one" Muex Said to himself before Sitting beneath A tree.

Closing his Eyes, Muez Began to enjoy the Calming Cool breeze Of the Wind That strokes his Face Gently. Gradually, Muez Doze off into The Dreamland.

. . .

An unknown amount of time had passed and Muez Was Awoken by the sound of Wings flapping heavily. Opening his eyelids, Muez Saw His Pokémon Descending from the Skies with a Dead Caterpie In his Claws.

Muez Stared At the Dead Caterpie for a moment before he shook his head and turns towards Haribon's Face.

"So, Any good news? Did you manage to find one?"

Hearing his Question, Haribon Merely Shook her head before Pecking At the Corpse beneath her Feet, Pulling chunks after chunks of Green meat From the Dead Pokémon.

Sighing in Dissappointment, Muez Decided that Now is the better time to find a Source of Water now haribon is here. However, Seeing her Enjoying her meal Made Muez uncomfortable With interupting her meal.

After She's Finished eating her game, Muez Stood up and explained his plans to her. First, Find a Steady Source of food and Water. Second, Find A suitable spot to build A temporary House. Third, to build a shelter, Obviously. And lastly, The fourth. To survive in this forest.

Now that everything is set, Muez Found A Branch That can be used as A Staff Or As a Support When trekking steep Places Before Moving on to their Quest To find A Water Source.

. . .

It's Been Probably around 1 hours of walking before Muez And Haribon Found a Big Stream. There, Muez saw Numerous groups of Magikarps and The most quite stunning Discovery Of the day, A Normal Fish. That's Right. A normal fish. The Animal that People Back on earth Ate Through Various Ways and methods.

Now that he think of it, Muez Can remember on some episodes of the Pokémon Anime Versions, Real life animals like crabs, Cows, mongoose, Fishes and even Clams and chickens Was Shown As evidence that normal animals and livestocks still do exist in the pokémon world.

Muez Hastily Ran towards the Stream and scooped a Fistful of water with his hands, Not worried at all that the water might be polluted Since the water in this stream Flows Continously without Stopping anyway.

After Drinking the Fresh water, Muez Couldn't helo but let out a Sigh of Satisfaction On how Cool and refreshing the water was. Hurriedly Removing his Clothes, Muez Immediately dove To the Water To cool his body down, Pulling haribon with him in the process.

Haribon Seemed to like the water very much, Given On how much She Swam Around like a duck.

After a Few minutes of Swimming in the stream, Both Muez And Haribon Went to the Bank to dry themselves up. Muez Asked Haribon to Blow some wind In his Direction by flapping her wings Repeatedly.

"Now that We already found A water source, I guess it's Time to find A Suitable Spot to Build our shelter. Right, Haribon?", Muez Asked Haribon while Scratching the Feathers on top of her head. Haribon Cawed softly back at him in agreement, Eager to Start Building their Home to spend the night At.

"Alright. Now Let's Get started."

Muez Asked Haribon to fly up in the air To monitor their surroundings. She was tasked to alert him if she Saw anything or Pokémons Threatening enough Fo them while Muez Himself Just found An open area Not that far from the stream.

First things first, Muez Realized that he First have to make An axe. A stone Axe, To be specific, In order to Make cutting Woods and Things Quite Easier.

To make A stone axe, Muez First have to look for suitable River Stones To Make the Axe head. Flint Stones Themselves will Be enough for him As well.

Walking Back to the stream, Muez First called haribon back to him since the Stream Itself Contains different types of pokémons of which some has the capabilities to Harm him in various ways.

When He arrived at the stream, Muez Asked Haribon for help in finding River stones That was Just Slightly Bigger than his fist. Having Understood Muez's Request, Haribon Took off to look for said stones.

Seeing her Go To look for Stones, Muez Also Began To Look for stones himself. Bending down to Flip rocks, Muez Began to Analyze whether each stones That he flipped were suitable to use to make an axe Head or not.

After A laborous searching Of about 10 minutes, Muez Finally found A suitable River stone the size that was slightly bigger than His Fist To make a Stone Axe Head.

Turning his head around ti look for his pokémon, Muez Saw Haribon on a huge stone Pecking At a Dead Magikarp Beneath her while Another Dead Magikarp lays Beside Her.

"Glutonous Girl. Hey! Haribon! Bring Those two Back At the Spot That we've chosen to build our house At!", Muez Shouted At Haribon before Walking towards the said spot with a Stone held firm in his hands. Haribon Cawed back at him in Confirmation before she Struggled To drag the two Magikarps towards the Spot.
