"Hmm? Another Gacha Ticket? Right. . .Forgot I did Received one From That Time. Well, Better Check This Gacha Later. Haribon, We've Got Some Work to do bud!", Muez Yelled Before Standing up from his sit.

Walking away from the table, Muex Grabbed His quiver That was made From Hard Tree Bark And A Huge, Hard Branch Lying beside it.

Muez Of course didn't Forget His Bow. After grabbing All of his Things, Muez Closed the door and Wlaked towards haribon, Who, At this time, was just finished eating her meal.

"Ya' Ready now, Bud? We've Practiced this Too many times, Right? We can do this, I promise!", Muez Said while Stroking Her Freshly Preened Feathers.

Haribon Cawed And Began to warm up her wings.

Muez Turned to Spearow Spoke to him.

"Come on, Escanor. You're going to Get fat if you Keep on eating like that. We have some work to do, Buddy", Muez Said.

Eacanor Merely rolled his eyes and was about to resume. His eating when he heard Muez Say the Magic Word.

"Battle. There Will be Battle, Buddy. I assure you!"

With that, Escanor Kicked his food Aside and Cawed Loudly. Showing His readiness for An upcoming battle. After releasing his battle cry, Escanor Took off and Hovered Over Muez's Head.

"Alright, We're now ready to go. Hey, Ratata, Buddy. You guy's Keep watch here, Alright?", Muez Turns to ratata and Asked it To guard This place alongside with the Other wild pokémons.

Ratata Heard him and Alongside with the Wild pokémons Around them, Agreed to guard this place from Any unwanted intruders.

Seeing That everything is now set, Muez Kneeled down In front of the nidoran and Stroked It's Purple Tough Skin.

"Lead the way Alright, Little guy? I assure you, We'll be right behindd you. . ."

Muez Nodded and Grabbed the thick Branch Lying beside him before Raising it with both hands. Haribon Cawed And Took off the ground. Beating wings Sending Dusts All around her. Haribon Flew To Muez And Grabbed the Branch he was Holding Before Taking off into the skies with Muez Hanging Below her.

Escanor Nodded and flew After them, Now tasked As Muez's Lifeline In case the Branch Snapped In two. Unlike His fellow Spearows from the flock, Escanor Was practically much larger than them. So, If the branch breaks, Escanor can help Haribon Carry Muez To their destination.

"Alrighty, Little Missy. Just give us your Pokémons And We can let you Go without any harm. I promise."

Jessica Stein, An Adventurous Bug Catcher/ Specialist Gritted her teeth as A group of Shady looking men Surrounded her group. A group that consisted Of 2 males And 2 females, Including her.

Jessica And Her friends Came from Pewter City. Sharing An Absolute Love and enthusiasm Towards bug types, Jessica decided to invite her fellow Bug Loving Friends to go To the Viridian Forest With her. The goal? To catch A Cool and powerful Beedrill that resides In the forest.

People and trainers back in pewter city Always Says that a Colony of Beedrills Led by a Very huge Beedrill Resides in tthe Viridian Forests. Many went There to catch it but very few made it out alive. Moreover, Those that did made it oit alive refused to say anythinf About the Colony nor the Big Ass Beedrill at all.

Yes, She knew that what She and her friends were about to do are indeed Idiotic and Stupid. But we're talking About A Cool, Huge And strong beedrill here, Right? Just like the saying : "Birds Die for Food, While Humans Die for Cool Bug types!"

So, Packed with Every camping equipment that she and her friends needed, Together, They all went To the forest without any care for their safety at all.

Upon entering, Jessica and the others saw Numerous Pokémons of various Sizes and types. Pidgeys, Ratatas, Caterpies And their Evolutionary Lines. But so far, They didn't manage to See a Single Shadow of A weedle Or Their Evolutionary line.

They then scurried the vicinity of the Forest but still failed to Catch a glimpse Of Their goal. So they've decided to go To the inner most parts of the forest. And that's How they gotten into this situation.

Jessica and the others Encountered this Shady group of men Holding different kinds of equipment For Catching Pokémons. Just at the very first glance of their appearance and equipment, Jessica immediately knew what kind of Persons they are. Pokémon Poachers.

The kind of people that catches Wild And Rare pokémons In order to sell to their Clients Or In the black market.These kind of people were banned and hunted On Most Cities in kanto.

"As if We'll Give them to you, You Scums!", Rebecca, The Other Female In Jessica's Group, Responded Angrily towards the Man's mocking Offer.

The Playful grin in the man's Face Vanished, Now replaced with a Heavy scowl that sent Chills to Their spines.

"Now now, I'll be careful With that mouth of your's if I were you, Little Lass. Who knows what kind Of trouble It will get you At, Right? Now, Here's The deal. I'm Dead Serious About my offer. Well, About the Letting go without Any harm part. In order to Get that? You just have to give us your pokémons! Easy And Simple, Isn't It?", The Man said before Lighting a Cigarette up to smoke.

Jessica Bit her Lower lip, Her hand holding the pokéball that Houses her Partner Grippping tighter As the tension between Her and the poachers Grew Stronger.

The Man Frowned When he saw that the Group of little Bug catchers Were Not responding to his offer at all. Taking A Final Puff, The man Took his cigarette and threw it to the ground before Snuffing it out by stomping on it.

"It seems like we'll do it The hard way. Boys, Show 'em What we've got", The man said before reaching towards his jacket.

The men behind him grinned and Took out their respective pokéballs before releasing the Pokémons inside it.

Light flooded the Area around them as Five pokémons Appeared in the field. An Ekans, Pidgey, Koffing, Raticate and dodrio. The Pokémons Proudly Introduced their names Respectively.

The man, Probably the Leader of the poachers, Smiled evily before throwing Out a pokéball he took from his jacket.

Jessica and the other's Watched As the Pokéball drew an arc In the air before Opening up, Sending a Burst of light towards the ground. Light flooded the area as a Pokémon Was revealed when the light vanished.

There, Hovering In the Middle of the Field, A Bug type Pokémon Proudly Said it's Name.

"Ninjaskkkk!"

Jessica, As A Proud Bug Lover / Specialist, Obviously Knew What a Ninjask Is. However, Just to be sure if the pokémon in front of her and the Ninjask in her mind were the same, Jessica pulled out her pokédex. Aiming the Camera towards it, The Information About the pokémon Began to Appear.

< Ninjask, The Ninja Pokémon. Ninjask is a very fast Pokémon that is said to be able to evade any attack and was long believed to be invisible due to its high speed. If it is not trained properly, it will refuse to obey its Trainer and cry loudly. >

We're dead. Jessica Internally Cried Before gritting Her teeth in determination.

'As if I'll just give Solar to them Like An Object. Solar is my partner, My pokémon. And I'll Willingly die protecting her!'

"Guys, If you want to Go out of this forest fully intact, You better prepare yourselves for a battle. Solar, Let's Give them Hell, Alright?! Go, I choose you!", Jessica Yelled before throwing the pokéball in her hand Into the air.

The pokéball opened and released A Intimidating green pokémon. Its body is primarily green and has a thin, cream-colored section between its head, thorax, and abdomen. Its reptilian head has two narrow, triangular eyes and three blunt horns extending from its forehead. Its arms end in large, white scythes, which it uses for both hunting and fighting. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. It's thighs have large, upward-pointing spikes. Its feet are tall and almost extends its thighs, rounded, and conical; each foot ends in three small, white claws on its front side.

Eyes Narrowing At the Poachers and their Pokémons, The pokémon Proudly announced it's Name While brandishing it's scythes like arms.

"Scy, Scyther!"

With That Serving as the Signal, Jessica's Friends Looked at each other's Eyes and Nodded. Taking out their own Pokéballs, they Released Their pokémons one after another.

A Butterfree, A Venomoth, One Paras and One Parasect.

As the Sun Hung In the Sky, A standoff Appeared between the two groups, Waiting For the other to make the first move.

At that exact moment, While the two sides Were having a Staring contest, A pidgeotto that was carrying A Person On it's Claws Arrived And Perched on a Tree. Letting the Person underneath it down To watch the stand off In front of him. A soft caw Came from behind him and a big spearow Landed Beside Him. The Man Grinned at the Spearow Happily Before turning To the Scene in front of them.

There, His eyes Scanned the two groups, Looking for the One That he Have to protect From the other. Seeing that the one on the left is All male, Unless one of them was named jessica, Muez Turned to the other group and his Sight immediately Landed on the Girl Standing at the Very Front of The Group.

Blond hair, Blue eyes. Probably Standing at the height of 170 cm, Very slender and curvaceous. She will Make a Perfect Wife for Her future husband.

"So you're Jessica, huh? Neat"
