Consequences of Actions

The fire was spreading rapidly, trees kept falling one after another, spreading the fire even more.

All pokemon ran as away from fire as they could.

"Bad, We have to stop the fire!" Max looked around the condition worsening with each second. "Kid! Can you..."

Ritchie sat there, his eyes full of fear as tears fell down his cheeks rapidly, his legs trembling violently as his whole body refused to move.

What a help I got...

"Quick, Everyone!"

Shu, Raiken and Kaen, all began their full effort to stop fire from spreading even more.

Kaen tried from bottom, Raiken from middle and Shu from above.

But despite the collaboration, the fire showed no sign of furthering less.

He himself went and did everything in his power, which was again pouring sandsand to control until the help(hopefully) arrives.

Damn, I should have brought Jerry and Kagami too.

He muttered, suddenly he is reminded of his other two pokemons. Two that are weak to Fire.

"Oh, Shoot! Metapod, Kakuna, Return!..."

But as he was about to bring them back, he noticed something that shocked jim even further.

Both Metapod and Kakuna'd body begins wrapping in otherworldly energy. A blinding light emerged from them and their steel like crust, began changing shape and growing.

Finally the light disappeared and Two fresh new pokemon emerged out of it. Beedrill and Butterfree.

Max's trance immediately broke out as he is reminded of the fire again. Maybe these two will be useful too now.

"Butterfree, Beedrill!"

Both butterfree and Beedrill, joined.

Butterfree big red eyes glew in ominous blue as it began distorting the flame and wiping it out using Confusion.

Strangely enough, Butterfree learns Confusion.

Beedrill, uses it's Twin needle furiously, trying to bring the fire in control.

Now some progress could finally be seen, but it was only controlling the fire inwardly.

There was no stopping the fire as it kept spreading outward to them.

Damn it!

A small pokemon pokes from the corner.

It looked at Max with Stary eyes. It was observing Max from the beginning.

From the moment it had laid eyes on Max, it followed him in silence. Spending it's whole night rustling bushes and branches, not letting him sleep at all and laughing at his sleepy frustrated reaction.

It witnessed everything and how he fought the hundreds and hundreds of Beedrills alone and guided his pokemon with such proficiency.

It was completely enamored to him.

Pika!!

It was a Pikachu, it ran towards Max.

Pika! Pika! Pi... Pika! Pikachu!

Max looked at Pikachu, surprised as to how it arrived here. But from the looks of it, it had no intention of attacking or was scared.

Pikachu on the other hand looked at Max with wide shining eyes, it's cheeks blushing and it's mouth open wide.

Pika!!

Pikachu called out to Max, asking and urging him to use it. It wanted to help as well to subdue the fire.

Max didn't understood what Pikachu was saying, so instead he just grabbed it and hold it close enough to prevent it from getting hurt from the fire.

It must be a refugee who got lost from it's bunch and lost it's way into this sea of flame. He must protect it, was basically what was going through his mind.

Pi.....

But that wasn't what Pikachu had in mind though, it wanted to help, it tried to move it's body and force itself out of Max cluthes and help him. But contrary to Pikachu's expectations, Max pulled it closer instead.

Pikachu was frustrated but that immediately died down. Pikachu closed it's eyes and nuzzles itself on his chest, being in his arms wasn't bad at all... Although it was slightly hot, but not something it can't handle.

Max thought was drawn back to the fire, seeing Ritchie completely useless, the entire Forest's fate lied in his hands.

But then suddenly!

"Blastoise! use Hydropump!"

A blastoise falls from above and lands directly in between them.

Blast!!

It lowers it's head and angles it's two humongous canons and fires off two huge vortex of water.

Max's eyes widens, If blastoise was here it meant only one thing.

He looks above, a huge bird, pidgeot covered the sky above him, a person riding it, Blue Oak.

Blue jumps from the Pidgeot and lands gracefully in the middle of them.

His eyes narrow as he looks at Max. "Quick, call back your pokemons!"

"Huh.. Uh... Yea! Come back! Everyone!"

At Max's command's, all his pokemon immediately stops what they were doing and races back to Max.

Blue wasting no time immediately clenches the Keystone on his neck he had wore as a necklace.

"Blastoise! Mega evolve!"

The energy emits out of the Keystone and covers the Blastoise completely as it's own Mega stone reacts to it.

It was a process similar to evolution, yet, quite not it.

As the energy subsidies, Blastoise's form changed completely and an additional, even bigger canon pokes out of it's back.

"Now Hydropump!"

And finally after some successive tries of Blue and his Blastoise, the fire finally comes in control and eventually dies out.

But the damage was already done, the flame have caused a large portion of forest to be burned out. Who knows how many pokemon lost their lives.

"Blue... W.. What are you doing here?"

Blue turned his gaze back to Max, relieved that the fire finally died out, but also some intense anger and some strange feeling he couldn't put fingers into.

"What have you done..." Blue speaks, his voice coming as low as a whisper.

"Huh?" Confused Max looks at Blue. "I.. It was just..."

"Forget it..." Blue sighed, rather worried about the stuff that is to come. His gaze turns to the immovable kid, then back to Max.

Not even five minutes have passed, and police had already begun to fill out the place with their vehicles.

Officer Jenny walks to Max. "I am Officer Jenny, you here are accounted for the misdeed of this commotion and with all rights, I am here to take you in for some inquiry."

She continues. "According to report, you are the root cause of not only this forest fire, but also disturbing the Beedrills habitat and making them rampage throughout the forest.", Officer Jenny says, her voice stern and serious, labeling every deeds of Max with a crime.

"B.. But, it was to save that boy..." Max starts stammering, his minds reeling through everything, he knows his mistakes and should have restrained himself, but it was also because the kid's and his own life was at stake.

Officer turned towards the kid, who when being interrogated, starts putting every blame on Max's head.

Ritchie points his fingers towards Max. "I.. It was him, it was all his fault!"

He began by stating how he brutally hurt his pokemon the day prior and had immense pleasure while doing so, and also tried to kill him by releasing an entire horde of wild Beedrills after him and started the Forest fire. According to him, Max was an evil sadistic guy who had pleasure seeing other suffered and couldn't care less if they end up dying as long as it was enjoyable to him.

Pikachu, who was still in Max's arms stared at the Kid with narrowed eyes. The kid was so desperate to save himself that he put every blame on Max to save his skin, it was annoyed so bad that it wanted to thundershock him right there, it held itself back as it knew it would worsen Max case even more.

"Yes officer that's it!" Ritchie finished.

"T.. That's not true at all!"

"SILENCE!!"

Max try of interjection was immediately silenced by officer Jenny.

She takes out the handcuffs and immediately cuffs Max. "You are to be delt more thoroughly."

In Officer Jenny eyes, he was a psychopath, one that could even kill innocents, people or Pokemons, with no grieve at all, a criminal that should never be let free.

Pikachu falls from Max's arms.

Pi!!

It tried to save him but the police immediately captured it in a cage.

Pi? Pi... Pika!!

Pikachu Thundershocks it to get out of it, but every attempt was met with failure as it was a special type of cage that resistated Pokemon's attacks to high degree.

Max's bag, pokeballs and his others belongings.

Max, for the last time turned towards Blue as he was being taken in the Police Vehicle.

Blue's face was down, in ground, contemplating what is true, before he spares a final glace at Max, giving him a slight nod that he would try to use his influence and save him if possible.

What has the fate brought him into.... If matter isn't handled correctly, he might lose the possession of his Pokemons forever, and officially entitled as an outlaw.
