Rocky showed the strange box that Kick-Puncher had found, to Brandon. "I can't read who it is supposed to be delivered to. The name seems indecipherable. How old do you think it is?" He tried to open the box but found that it was locked. "So mysterious box, containing who-knows-what, and no idea who it goes to. Let's pack it and deliver it to the Pokémon center. Maybe someone there can work out who it belongs to."
Rocky looked at his watch. It had been some time since he had sent Fury, Rusty and Speedy out to search for Rose's bracelet. Rose had found the bracelet, but he had told his Pokémon to come back when the sun was directly overhead. It was still a good amount of time until midday so he had no choice but to wait. He wondered how they were doing ....
Fury, Rusty and Speedy's story
Spoiler:
The three Pokémon walked into the dark spooky depths of the forest looking for the silver bracelet.
"Aron, ron ron, Aron!" said Rusty. *For storytelling purposes, translations for the Pokémon will now be given*
"I miss Rocky, it's very dark, I'm scared" said Rusty.
"No need trainer!" said Fury. "Me brave Charmander! Me make own light!" the Charmander flared his tail light brighter to provide light.
Speedy climbed up and down trees and ran in circles covering five times as much distance as the other two combined. "Fun! Fun! Climb! Jump!" the Rattata called out to the other two.
"I want to get that bracelet and get back!" Said Rusty. "Rocky is nice! He looks after us well. I don't like being out here without him." the Little Aron looked around nervously at the spooky shadows that Fury's tail was making.
"Trainer give us job! Me find silver thing and bring back. Maybe find fight. Me like fight!" Fury responded.
From high up in a tree, Speedy called out, "Look! Look! Trainers! Look! Look!" the Rattata was pointing through the trees towards the ground.
Rusty and Fury moved towards where Speedy was pointing. They all saw Rose find and pick up her silver bracelet.
"They found the bracelet! We can go back now!" Rusty said, felling relieved. "Come on let's head back now."
Fury looked disappointed. Suddenly he had an idea. "Trainer say, 'come back when sun overhead'! Sun not overhead! We stay and explore! Maybe find fight!"
"No! We go back. Rocky would want to know that we are safe!" Rusty said.
"You vote go! I vote stay! What you vote Rat? Go back, be boring! Or stay, have fun!" said Fury.
"Fun! Fun! Fun!" yelled Speedy.
"You lose! Trainer say 'stay together'! We explore!" Fury shouted in delight.
Rusty nodded reluctantly and went along with the other two to explore the forest.
After ten minutes of exploring Rusty was getting more and more nervous. She jumped when a sinister voice whispered to them through the trees. "The little Pokemonzzz. All alonezzzz. Too Clozzzze to the Hivezzzzz." From the shadows a large Beedrill appeared. "You will make good feedzzzzz. Bring you back nowzzzzz."
Fury gave a war cry. "Charmander for the win!" and launched himself head-first at the Beedrill, looking to score a solid head-butt on the opponent.
The Beedrill causally brushed the Charmander aside. Fury landed in a heap on the ground. "Pazzzzzetic. A fire lizzzzard, a rat and ...what are youzzzzz?" the Beedrill focussed on Rusty. "No Matterzzzz. My poison zzzzting will zzzzztop youzzzzz!" It launched itself at Rusty, poison sting leading the way.
The Beedrill’s poising sting slammed into Rusty’s iron shell. The normally shy Pokémon laughed. “A Poison attack? I have steel skin, you stupid bug. I also throw rocks!” Rusty threw a rock which smacked into the Beedrill’s head with a crunch. “Fury, use a fire attack. Speedy just bite it.”
The three Pokémon attacked in unison. The much larger Pokémon hadn’t expected this much resistance. It flew high, “I’ll bringzzzzz my whole hivezzzzz!” It taunted impotently as it ran away.
“You fight good, Aron! We good team!” Fury said looking at Rusty with a new appreciation for the shy Aron.
“Yes, because I listen to our trainer, Rocky. He is good and kind and deserves to be obeyed! Rocky said if we get attacked by Beedrill, we are to come straight back!” Rusty answered.
“But me want explore more! Me brave. Not scared by bug!” said Fury.
“We go back! Now!” Rusty glared at the recalcitrant Charmander.
Fury lowered his eyes. After the fight with the Beedrill, Rusty had taken precedence in their relationship. “We go back. Me good Charmander. Me obey!”
“Fun! Fun! Back! Back!” Called Speedy as he led the way back to the clearing where they had left Rocky.
Rocky was sick of waiting. He stood up. “Hey Brandon do you mind coming with me as I go search for my Pokémon who went searching for the Bracelet? They went that way. We might be able to catch some more Pokémon as we search.”
