"what... the... fuck." I hear behind me.
Turning around I see Hops with a mixture of terror and disgust on her face. A quick glance at Jules' and Eva's showed similar expressions on their faces. Before anything else can happen, the two Houndour begin to growl. Obviously, I wasn't the only one to hear Hops' unconscious mutter.
Once again turning around, I notice the Houndour stalking towards us. Their maws dripping with a purple, green mixture of, our newfound friends, blood.
Just as they're about to pounce, someone yanks on my shoulder and drags me along to run away. While my mind is trying to process the sudden turn of events, I'm pulled forward out of the tree line and into some of the tall grass on Route 214.
"-ay! Jay!! Get A Hold Of Yourself! We've got to get a move on!" I finally come to when, Jules is shouting in my face.
"...What?" I ask.
"We Gotta GO! Those Houndour aren't far behind, and we can run faster if I don't have to drag you along." She explains while pointing behind me, where the grass is moving erratically due to the Houndours' pursuit.
Knowing she's right I reply, "Ri-right," before we all take off in the same direction.
Unfortunately we don't get far, when a howl sounds from the grass in front of us. Apparently even though the Houndour were surprised by our fast escape, due to their superior speed and our brief pause, they caught up quickly. One even managed to surpass us and stop our getaway in it's tracks.
Not a moment later the other Houndour catches up and we're now stuck between two bloodthirsty canines, who can't wait to tear us apart.
"Fuck!" Eva curses. I'd be stunned by her unexpected foul language, if not for the fact that we're probably about to die. So instead I agree, "You can say that again."
"Ooh, Such language is unladylike." The Houndour in fronts says with a chuckle.
"Y-you guys can talk?!" Hops asks seemingly shocked by the Houndours ability to speak.
"Wha- Of course we can. What'd think we was special or something?" sounded the Houndour at our back.
Her head looking between the two's locations, she replies. "N-No, but in my defense all you've two done since the beginning is growl and kill."
Witnessing their exchange, a smile begins to form on my lips, but it immediately stops when the hound in front of us speaks. "You've got a point, guess we should stop talking to our dinner." After he finishes the two canine jump at me and Hops. I assume they're trying to take out the weakest ones first.
Just as quickly as they attack, the two Houndour are knocked out of the air with a yelp. One is blasted away by a purple and blue beam, and the other is smacked to the ground by a large, ethereal, orange palm. Then, almost like she had been waiting for an opening, Jules lunges at the Houndour that was smacked down. Her fist, glowing with a brownish-orange aura, smashed onto the defenseless Pokémon's head. While not enough to finish it off, Jules stopped it from recovering anytime soon, she even managed to break the armor on it's head.
After she jumped back, a yellow and red furred, bipedal, weasel-like Pokémon landed. Facing the downed Houndour, claws extend from the Pokémon's hands and it proceeds to dish out 5 quick and powerful attacks that broke through the damaged armor and it's skull, before shredding it's brain to pieces. At the same time a blue and white Pokémon floats past our heads, while sitting in a lotus position, in the same direction that the Houndour hit by a beam flew in.
Just when it seems like all the surprises over, a feminine voice sounds out from our left. The same direction our saviors had come from. "Woohoo, Great job Ziyu! And Lingling don't let down your guard, Houndour are immune to Psychic type moves. So it's either uninjured or only lightly, and I'm sure it's gonna be pissed."
"I won't Meg." Replies the floating Pokémon, now identified as Lingling. But a moment after Lingling's reply the one called Meg enters my sight; and even though I shouldn't be, I still find myself at a loss for words when I see a human for the first time in this life.
There are plenty of valid reasons for my speechlessness: It could be because I don't know if she's gonna try to capture me or not, it could also be because she pretty much saved my life, yada yada yada, but NO, its because she is absolutely stunning.
Standing at 5' 4", Meg is a caramel skinned beauty with an energetic and joyful feel about her. Her un-styled, curly, black hair has blonde highlights and ends just below her shoulders. She has big, amethyst eyes, a heart shaped face and slightly pointed ears. Her ample bosom, wide hips, and thick thighs come together to from a body that rouse anyone's desire. Currently she's wearing a white t-shirt, purposely cut to show off her toned abdomen, and denim daisy dukes that accentuate her luscious lower body.
While I was busy scrutinizing Meg, she was doing the same to us and when she saw me a look of surprised appeared on her face. "Are you a Scraggy?! Ooh, you are, aren't you? We don't get to many of your kind in the Sinnoh region. What are you doing here?..."
Apparently, I was right about Meg being energetic because once she got started, she didn't stop. It was just one question after another and it seemed like she had no intention of stopping, so I decided to interrupt her. "Stop!"
"I need you to calm down, so that we can have an actual conversation," I say with a vague sense of deja vu, " First and foremost, Thank you for your help. I honestly doubt we would have survived if not for you, well Jules might have."
As I took a moment to pause, I noticed that Meg had her head slightly tilted to the side with confusion clearly displayed on her face. After thinking for a second, I quickly realized what the problem is. "Can she understand me?" I ask turning to the Meinfoo, Zuyi, at her side.
"No, No she cannot. We need to wait for Ling to come back if you want to talk to her, unless one you guys can use telepathy." Zuyi replies.
"Actually..." I trail off while looking at Eva.
(Megan's P.O.V)
I'm currently gushing at the fact that there's a Scraggy standing right in front. I mean I know it's not impossible for one to be in Sinnoh, ever since travel between the regions was heavily promoted after the end of The Great Poké War, but it's still incredibly rare to find one out in the wild.
'I wonder if he'd want to become one of my Pokémon. Probably not, well maybe if I catch his friends too. You know what might as well ask him.' I thought even as I was already bombarding him with a million questions.
"Hey Scraggy, what do you-" Just as I started to ask him, he suddenly interrupted me. "Scrag!"
"Scraggy Scrag Scrag scrag, sCraggy gy Scraggy Scrag." He says before shaking his head as if not to be distracted by his stray thoughts. 'Awwww, He's so cute. I really hope Lingling comes back soon so I can understand him.' I think while holding back the urge to jump up and down in joy. Instead, I try to show him that I can't actually understand him right now, but I did it in a subtle way so as to not ruin his little speech.
It seems like he understood because he immediately stopped talking to me and instead address' Zuyi instead. "Scrag scraggy Scrag?"
"Mien, Meinfoo. Foo meinfoo Mein."
"Gy...." at this point the Scraggy trails off as everyone in their little group looks towards the shiny Ralts among them. "O, M, Arceus... A SHiny RALTS. You guys even have a Shiny in your group do you know how rare that is?! How didn't I notice you before!? I must've been too distracted by Scraggy. Oh my aren't you just adorable?" I say while lifting the Ralts of the ground and doing a small spin. Before I can continue to fangirl over how fascinating their little group is I hear an unfamiliar female voice sound in my head.
{Please put me down.}
"W-was that you?" I ask while looking at the Ralts, and by her deadpan expression I know her answer before she even says it. {Yes.}
I quickly apologize while putting her back down on the ground. "Heh he, Sorry about that. I just got excited."
{It's perfectly fine, but let's avoid such incidents in the future.} She 'say' while looking up at me. I crouch down and extend my hand as a sign of friendship. "Deal!"
She looks at my hand for a moment, as if debating to shake it or not, before finally extending her own and shakes my hand. {Good. Now Jay would like to thank you.}
"Who's Jay?" I ask.
{I am.} A discernably male voice sounds out this time. Simultaneously the Scraggy stepped in front of me while looking into my eyes. "Oh, uhh, hi." I say with a slight wave.
{Hey. Anyway, my name is Jay and Thank You. Seriously, if it wasn't for you and your partners, I'm sure we would've died.} Jay sincerely said.
"Yeah, no problem. Also it's wonderful to meet you Jay, my name is Megan. I'm sure you heard earlier, but this is Zuyi, she's a Mienfoo, and that Meditite from earlier is Ling, or Lingling as I call her." I reply while gesturing towards Zuyi and nodding my head in the direction Lingling went.
{A pleasure. You've already met Eva,} He says while pointing at the Shiny Ralts, then moves onto the Buneary and Riolu, {And they're Hops and Jules.}
{Greetings.}
{Hi!}
{H-hello.}
"My Arceus, you guys are just too cute! Does the no cuddling rule apply to all of you or only Eva?" I say while looking at Jay, Hops, and Jules with an expectant gaze.
