Great poems, EZ! I really like how the torkoal one describes the fire burning inside of it!

Sorry for the delay! Today's Pokémon is,

The bat Pokémon, #042, Golbat!

Spoiler:

Kiosia had never noticed how musically inclined prison was. From the march of the patrolling soldiers to the beat you could make by banging cups against the bars of the cell, prison had a lot to offer when it came to making music. If Kiosia were more musically gifted, she might try to write a song. But she wasn’t, plus she had places to be.

Sirens began to echo throughout the compound as all the guards began to swarm towards the front gates. Naturally, of course, as all prison guards do when being attacked by a pirate ship attempting to rescue its captain. Kiosia stood up and stretched, prompting an odd look from her cellmate.

“That your ride?” she asked. Kiosia nodded and saluted.

“Yep! Care to join me?”

“Nah I think I’m good,” she replied, “hate to leave a place with such good food. If I get caught again I might get moved somewhere else. Maybe next time, yeah?” Kiosia snickered and gave her cellmate a thumbs up before putting her fingers to her lips and whistling. A soft flapping could be heard in the distance and a zubat carrying a bag suddenly appeared.

“Zubat! How are ya, buddy?” The bat pokemon screeched and pulled the bag into the inside of the cell. Kiosia dug inside, sorting through the six pokeballs until she found her lock picking kit. Going to the side where the lock was, she stuck her arms through and began to fiddle with the lock. It was a bit harder not being able to see, but no lock was match for Kiosia. She heard the click and quickly pulled her arms back as the door opened. Kiosia tightened her faded Team Aqua bandana and smirked. “See ya!” Kiosia called to her cellmate as she scooped up her bag and began to skip down the hall.

Shouts rose up from the other cells as Kiosia’s escape with Zubat began. The zubat suddenly dove down and struck a hidden grimer with a wing attack. Kiosia sidestepped the grimer and continued down the walkway. By now, some of the guards had noticed the escaped inmate running around and tried to stop her. Drawing their weapons, two guards tried to fire at Kiosia, but her zubat released a thick haze, allowing Kiosia to drop a floor and escape their gunfire unharmed. Landing in a crouch, Kiosia found herself surrounded by four growlithe.

The puppy pokemon growled at her, before a command from above caused them to charge up four flamethrowers. Kiosia snapped her fingers and Zubat began to flap its wings quickly, releasing several air cutters. The winds sliced up the four fire type pokemon, giving Kiosia the opportunity to flee towards the entrance. She could see the light just ahead, but right as they were about to reach it, an Alolan Sandslash landed in front of the door. It roared, its iceberg spikes seeming much bigger than the average size. Kiosia stumbled a little, not sure how to get past this. She couldn’t afford to wait too long or else she’d be caught. And except for Zubat all her other pokemon were locked in their balls. Kiosia clicked her tongue and nodded to Zubat. He screeched and released another haze but it barely phased their opponent. It released a powder snow that dispersed the haze then released a series of Icicle Spears. Kiosia managed to duck away in time, but Zubat was struck. Kiosia dove to catch her partner, the poor thing’s wing having taken the hit. She turned as the Sandslash towered over them, preparing a metal claw to end it all. Suddenly Kiosia was blinded by a bright light and Zubat disappeared from her arms. As the light faded, Kiosia saw a golbat between she and the Sandslash. Zubat had evolved!

Golbat flapped its wings rapidly releasing a flurry of hot winds that Kiosia recognized as Heat Wave. It burned the Sandslash, causing the pokemon to retreat and giving Kiosia access to the exit. Without needing any prompting, Kiosia sprinted out of the entrance and rushed for the docks where her crew was waiting. She could hear gunshots all around her but they bounced off of Golbat’s protect as Kiosia scaled the ladder dropped down to her. She was welcomed by her crew with hearty cheers, and Kiosia could definitely say she couldn’t wait to explore with her partner’s new found power.
