CHAPTER 11

Sanchez, An Old, Experienced Poacher That Came to Viridian forest To catch A Strong Beedrill for his client From Cerulean City. The Rich Guy Probably Heard of the Rumors About the Beedrill colony that lives in the Inner most Parts Of The Viridian Forest.

Who would've Known that A Bonus will appear When they've just arrived here. Judging from her attire, Which was an eye catching Bug Catcher Attire That is trending among the youngsters these days, She and her friends Were probably here with the same goal as them.

Going in The Inner most part of this forest Requires For a Stronger Team of Pokémons To Secure one's Safety. Seeing them here, They must have some strong Ones In their pockets.

And guess what? They Fucking did! The girl in the Front Released a Scyther. A Scyther! Scyther these Days Was Pretty hard to Encounter, Much less Capture one. Scythers fetch Quite the price In the Black market, So if he Took her Scyther, Man. . .Sanchez Can already Hear the Sound of Money.

"Ha! A scyther. See that boys? Get that And Will be Set for this Year!"

"Haha! Yeah!"

"We'll Surely Catch It, Boss!"

"Yeah, Yeah! Believe us boss. We will Get that for you In a moment, I assure you!"

"Hahaha, You better do Mark, You better do!"

Jessica and the others Watched them laugh Happily, As if they're Not Here To hear them talk about how they will Sell their partners for some Quick Bucks.

Turninf towards her friends, Jessica nodded at them before turning back to the Poachers in front of her.

"Solar, X-scissor!"

"Venomoth, Psybeam!"

" Paras, Use Psybeam!"

"Use X-Scissor, Parasect!"

"Butterfree, Solar Beam!"

With That, The pokémons From Jessica's Side made the first move. Solar's Scythe Arms Glowed And with a swing from him, An X shaped Light Made it's way towards The opposing pokémons.

The Venomoth Behins him Screeched and Launched A multicolored Beam towards Ninjask and the others. Paras Also did the same as venomoth, Sending A Psybeam in their direction.

Parasect, Just like Solar, Sent An X shaped Light made from Compressed Bug type energy towards the poachers. Butterfree, On the other hand, Began to gather Solar energy into her wings before gathering it Infront of it's mouth.

The attacks Came too suddenly for the poachers to react but Their Pokémons Were the opposite. Ninjask Merely dodged the psybeam That Was aimed at it With extreme ease. Ekans Also Evaded the Other psybeam By Swaying to the left.

Koffing Used Sludge bomb after sludge bomb To Counter The incoming X-scissor. While Raticate On the other hand Used Sucker punch To Counter the other X-scissor.

Unlike the other's, Pidgey Was unable To Counter or Dodge the Solar Beam That came barelling towards it. Pidgey's Trainer watched As His pokémon Took the attack head on. Smoke filled the area as a explosion occured In Pidgey's Location.

"Dodrio, Use Drill peck On Scyther!"

Dodrio Obeyed it's Trainer's Orders and sprinted towards Scyther. Dodrio's Three Beaks Began to Spin, Flying type energy coating them All.

Scyther Saw the Incoming Pokémon And Flew Backswards To keep the distance between them. Dodrio Saw it's Attack miss and Went for another Drill peck Attack.

"Pesky Little shit. Ninjask, Use Agility Followed Up by Metal claws Towards scyther!", Sanchez Yelled once He saw that all of the Enemies' Attacks were Successfully Countered.

"Koffing, Use Sludge Bomb!"

"Ekans, Iron Tail!"

"Raticate, Use Crunch On Paras!"

Said Pokémons did what they're told. Both Raticate And Ekans rushed towards The group of bug types While koffing Stayed At the Back, shooting Sludge Bomb After another at Butterfree.

In a Blink of An Eye, The Group battle turned into seperate Individual Battles. Ekans Vs Paras, Raticate Against Parasect, Koffing With Butterfree, And Dodrio And Ninjask Vs Venomoth And Scyther.

Jessica Saw This Developement and Grew worried. Yes, Her friends can battle, But They usually just battle In a Two Against two Kind of battle. Each of them were used to Cooperating with Another So Seeing them have to fight On their own against their Own opponents, Jessica Will Obviously Worry.

Sanchez Also saw this And Grinned At them Mockingly.

"See, If you've Just Given up your Little bugs to us, This Wouldn't have Happened. No Battles, Fights That can Hurt you. Isn't that right?!"

Jessica heard him And Gritted her teeth.

"Solar, Use Wing attack on Ninjask!"

"Scy, Scyther!"

Scyther's Wings Began to glow Brightly. Flying type Energy Coating them completely. Scyther Brandished his Arms Before Zooming towards Ninjask in a Zigzag manner.

Jessica Watched Him Close In to Ninjask And When Solar Lashed out with his Glowing Wings, Ninjask Buzzed It's Wings before dodging gis attack by Flying higher. Scyther Growled And used Another wing attack to smack ninjask Down from the skies but Ninjask Once again Evaded His Attack By flying higher.

Anger Flashed In Solar's Eyes. Arms now glowing Brightly, Solar sent Slashes after slashes With his scythe like arms. Scyther Has Used Fury Attack. However, Just like before, Ninjask dodged all of his Attacks With great ease, Angering Solar even further.

Jessica saw how Her Partner Was loosing Himself to His opponent's Work. Jessica tried to Call him back as Solar and Ninjask Were both now Moving Away from her But to no avail. Scyther Was too absorbed in fighting Ninjask To hear her.

Jessica Is about to follow them when Rebecca's Cry Came from Behins her.

"Jessica look out!"

Jessica tried to Turn to look at her when a Heavy boot struck her Back, Sending her sprawling into the ground. Jessica groaned in pain As Bruises appeared in her Body.

Sanchez Retracted his Leg and Knelt on one knee to Look at The Downed jessica.

"Look, Kid. I'll Give you and your friends one last chance. Give us the Pokémons, Then We'll let you be. Sounds good?", Sanchez Said, A Wide, Mocking grin Plastered on his face.

Jessica Growled And was about to Retort when she caught sight of the Pokémons of her friends. They're Loosing pretty badly.

Ekans Coiled Around Paras, Raticate Ssupressing Parasect with continues Fury Attack, Dodrio Now Pinning Venomoth While It's Three head eyed It Evily. Koffing And Butterfree Now in a Stalemate but To jessica, It was pretty obvious that butterfree Is losing Given How It Panted heavily. And Lastly, Her Partner. Solar. He was too pre-occupied With trying to hit Ninjask just for once to notice the Perilous situation his Trainer was now in.

Tears Welled up In Jessica's Eyes as Despair Now began to Seep in her heart. She can't Just give Solar And the others to these scums Just to save their lives. They Are Their partners. Their buddies. The ones That accompanied them when Other people Avoided them because of their Hobbies and preferences. They're The ones That was In their side When they Experienced Happiness and Cool things.

Sanchez Saw Her Refusing to Respond and Frowned. He eyed the girl For a moment before sighing.

"Guess That'll be it. I already gave you The chance to save your lives Yet you still refused To accept it", He said before reaching Towards his jacket again.

Jessica and Her friends eyed him Intensely, Waiting for the pokémon That sanchez Is about to call out. However, When Sanchez Pulled out The Object He is hding from his jacket, Jessica and the others including His men Froze at the sight.

It's Black, Metallic Appearance Shone Dangerously under the Bright Sunlight. The Barrel In its End Facing Jessica's Face, Making her feel As if the grim reaper himself has arrived And Went face to face with her. Sanchez Pulled out a gun.

One Of his men step forward, Sweat now forming In his forehead because of the sudden Appearance of the gun.

"B-boss, Let's Calm Down a L-little, Alright? Oi, Brat, Jjust give us your pokèm-"

"Hush now, Pedro"

The man's Words Was interrupted When Sanchez Suddenly Spoke, Hushing pedro into stiff silence In a matter Of seconds.

Sanchez Eyed the man With narrow eyes before Turning his gaze back at the Frozen Jessica.

"One last chance, Kid. One. Last. Chance. Give Them to us, And You're Free to go. Now."

However, Jessica Was Too Shocked to Respond to his Words. Her entire Body was Shaking as Her eyes Stared at the Gun in Sanchez's Hand Fearfully.

A gun. Jessica knows How destructive And deadly this Weapon Can be when Placed in the wrong hands. That's why A law Had been created That Aside from The Police, Military and other Similar Professions, Everyone else is banned And forbidden to Possess Any kinds / types of gund without A Proper Certification. Back in Pewter city, Only the Police Had the right to possess one.

So to see One here, One that was aimed at her Face, Jessica's Brain Froze. Refusing to Function normally.

"I see, So that's Your Answer, then. Well, I guess This is a Goodbye. Farewell Kid, Good luck in your next life", Sanchez's voice Changed and became extremely cold. His Eyes Narrowing At her dangerously before Placing his finger On the trigger.

Rebbecca and the Other's Yelled at her to move but Jessica Was just too Terrified to Mive a single Muscle.

Jessica Can only watch as The Man's Finger slowly Pulled the trigger. Fear And Unwillingness Filled her heart As Jessica Can only Close her eyes.

A Loud gunshot was heard, Reverberating around the Forest, Scaring Many pokémons Into Every direction.

Jessica Screamed, Sanchez's Widened in surprise, And Rebbecca and the others Stared at the Scene in front of them with mouth hanging open.

The Gun in Sanchez's Hand Was now Turned Sideways, Blowing a Hole Into a Nearby Small tree's Body. Above it, An Arrow was Drawing an arc in the air, Adding some Epicness into the Scene Before Stabbing itself Into the ground Beside Jessica.

Apparently, An Arrow Came from out of nowhere And Struck the gun in Sanchez's Hand into facing The Small Tree in Sanchez's left.

"Now, Now. We can't Have you pointing that thing Around carelessly, Can't We?"

A voice Came from the trees as a Figure dropped from From One To Their Right. The Man Had Shoulder length Black hair, A pair Of Amber Like Eyes, And A Mask that covers his neck up to his nose. The Man was also Wearing A Black T-shirt And Jeans, With a Cloak Draped over his body Made from What seemed to be Stantler or Usraring Hide. He was also wearing A Pair of Bokts made from the same material As The Cloak And Mask.

Sanchez Stared at the Newcomer Silently, Eyes Glowing dangerously as his mind began to Twist and turn.

"And Who're you Supposed to be?"

"Me? Ha, I'm nothing but Mere A Hunter That is out for his prey"
