Realgam Tower (Resort Area) | Early Afternoon [7]
What was wrong with her, attacking like that? She could hit someone, Stark, Red! Humans weren't as sturdy as Pokemon.. that could do serious damage to him! "Im sorry!" The Pikachu squeaks in a panic, eyes searching for her new friends to assure they were alright. They land not on the the man but the writhing purple mass on the floor. The snake was... in agony? "Who's your spark stick now, mother fucker!" The new voice passes through her ears unnoticed. The rodent stops breathing, eyes wide as moons as she watches the predator suffer on the ground before her. No.. The look in its eyes, the pain in is moans.. she cant take that. This.. isnt right. It was one thing to be in a battle, to fight for your life, to not become a meal.. but this made the little Pikachu's body as cold as ice, her fur shrink to her form and stomach drop. Tiny paws start to shake, their grip on the lights support slipping. No no stop stop you'll be okay! Its okay stop I didnt mean to do this!
It stops moving completely.
Panic surges through the tiny Pokemons body. Oh gods.. oh gods did she just kill a living creature. A clean, uninfected living creature?! "NO!" Jumping back on to the monitor stand Cinderchus body is too shaking and weak feeling to control. Vainly gripping at the smooth metal she slips and falls, bouncing down on each level of the machine before hitting the ground. What have I done, what have I done! Fresh bruises will certainly form after that but she doesn't even notice. Kicking herself as she scrabbles back to her paws the Pikachu races toward the snake, halting heavily and near falling. Forgetting all else her emerald spheres look over the odd creatures form. So still.. Oh please legends dont do it. The tiniest scuffle of scales on human flooring screams in her delicate ears, heightened to a near roar as she hones in on it. The Arbok shifted. It was alive. A massive breath expels from her lungs, a wave of relieve blurring her vision and thoughts. Thank you. They were watching out after all.
"Hungry..." Words.. if it could speak maybe she hadn't done that much and it would be okay. "Just eat a little?" The words dont registrar and she takes a step closer to the Pokemon that wished to feed. It wasn't evil, it wasnt an undead either, just a- "Give me one good reason why I should empty this entire magazine at you." Gaze shooting upward the Pikachu is taken by complete surprise as red stands with the Arbok at gunpoint. Unsure if he was talking about her or the serpent pair, or even both of them, she can not shake the new and sudden sensation that takes over her. Fight or flight.
Scurrying away from the Arbok Cinder races back up slot machines, haphazardly scaling the monitor stand and leaping back to her ceiling perch. All concern for the Poison Type was lost. Red had his gun out again and that thing was a threat. She could be seen as a threat. I didnt. I didnt. I didnt attack him. Im not a threat. Im not dangerous. I didnt do anything. Im innocent. Im sorry. Red! Pokemon dont attack humans. Pokemon who did that were hunted and killed. Oh dear Raikou he was going to shoot her. He was going to shoot her she had to get out. This is not a safe place.
"You okay, Cinder? Thank God they didn't hurt you." The Dragonite's voice breaks the stream of panicked thoughts. He was.. completely calm, and seemed to of recovered from that earlier acid spray. Cinder's racing pulse roars in her ears. How could he be so calm when Red--! Green gaze shifting to the human she can see now that the gun was pointed only at the Arboks..
Her breathing slows.
Ears falling low to her head Cinderspark takes in one deep but shaky breath. He had never meant to shoot her, that was just her paranoia at work again. Idiot. Still feeling shaky and weak the Pikachu carefully walks onto the Dragonite's extended arm. Her trembling fingers curl roughly around his thick scales, suddenly aware of how easily she could fall if he simply shifted too fast. "T-thank you," She breathes as no more then a whisper. Wait.. Thoughts playing on rewind the slow-minded chu realizes just then that the human had intent to kill the Arbok for doing only what came naturally- hunt. "N-no!" Cinder barks at red, "Dont shoot it!"
