Night Instincts (Mizuna Mix) (Phill)

Ethan instinctively put a hand on his head to look for his Charizard. Not that because the moon was too bright like the sun, but it was just subconscious habit. It shouldn't be too hard to find a flying lizard with wings and fire on his tail. With his dinner just finished cooking, he was basically deciding between waiting for his Pokemon to come back or his food to cool down. He chose his dinner for now, because he was sure his Pokemon would come back when he was done having fun in the air. He began scooping another spoonful again.

The fire lizard not-dragon heard something and blew Air Cutter at that direction, and before he would know or see it, he heard a soft thud as the Spinarak landed on the soft grass and mud and scuttled away. The stars weren't bright enough for the Pokemon to be seen, especially when viewed from above with dark green leaves camouflaging the light green Spinarak. Did he fought a Pokemon, or was it a twig came down cleanly? He wasn't sure, but if that was a Pokemon, it wasn't a challenge. He flew around the sky again and looked for another opponent, hopefully worthy, and another Air Cutter.

The winds from Dynner’s wings kept shaking the trees around the forested hillside. The strong currents yanked the thick branches in different directions, causing a few of them to snap and dangle as though they were holding on by a single thread. Several smaller creatures darted through the tall grasses at a breakneck speed. Wide eyes, loud squeaks, and loud rustling accompanied them as they fled. Several small green arachnids fell out of the trees and scattered in different directions. One would jump on – then subsequently off – Ethan’s foot in a hurry to escape Dynner’s wrath.

One Pokemon screamed angrily as the winds rocked the branch it was currently sleeping in. Large yellow eyes narrowed as they searched through the tree furiously. Dynner passed by again, sending several sharp currents of air from his wings. The air sliced through the branches as though they were puddy, snapping smaller limbs completely off and sending a flurry of leaves to rain down on Ethan from above. The Ekans slipped off its branch and tumbled to the ground with a loud groan, and immediately reared its head back up with a tilt to the heavens above.

“Arceus, you grimy old legendary!” Ekans raised the rattles on its tail up towards the pitch black heavens above and shook them. The rattles echoed through the now torn up trees, though they were mostly muffled by the foliage around them. “Just because I REFUSE to believe you’re some kind of DIETY?! That’s rude, Arceus! I refuse to pray to another Pokemon, so FIGHT ME if you must!” Ekans tried to struggle through the initial pain that racked its body to attack, but found itself stuck where it landed twitching instead. “That’s not fair, ARCEUS! That’s one dirty trick, you know!” Ekans kept yelling its threats to ‘Arceus’ as Dynner flew high above them.

The Charizard's air cutter sliced and pierced the tree's sturdy branches, and the ones who weren't strong enough to survive, broke and collapsed on the ground. The sound and the wind current scared some smaller Pokemon, such as the Spinarak in hiding and crawled on Ethan's foot while he was eating. He jolted from the sudden crawling sensation and dropped his spoon in his bowl, and jerked his feet while the Spinarak scurried away. Thankfully, none of his Pokemon reacted and started another parallel battle because that would be illegal in this narrative.

As if that wasn't enough, he heard a hissing noise yelling at the sky. Ethan pondered a bit and grabbed a Pokeball to capture it.

Dynner heard something and zoomed down on the noise. "Arceus? Can't you see I am a Charizard?" He posed with arms opened as he landed. "Arceus does not have a tail on fire and is not orange?" He was confused by the Pokemon's confusion. Had the Ekans seen Arceus? Hopefully Ekans would get time to answer before Ethan would throw a Pokeball at it.

[Caramell 🍬]

Ekans wasn’t done yelling at the skies, at least not at first. While rattling its tail angrily, it would search the ground around it and quickly use its mouth to pick up small pebbles, which it would spit in the air above it. Most of them wouldn’t fly very high. Several came crashing down around the Ekans like a makeshift spikes scattered all about, but no where near the sharpness or layering to make any difference to the combatants. “I thought I made it clear!” The Ekans kept carrying on angrily. “After you blessed my cousin and ignored my 5 million simple requests for years, I want nothing to do with you Arceus!”

It wasn’t until Dynner zoomed down to the Ekans that it stopped its antics and studied the strange flying reptile. He was big, sure. But Arceus didn’t have wings? Right? And wasn’t all orange? And didn’t have a long tail with a fire burning at the tip? And definitely wasn’t a lizard?! “No…you’re right…you’re not Arceus.” It huffed angrily and turned back to the skies as though its beef couldn’t POSSIBLY be with whatever Dynner thought he was. “But Arceus cut me out of my tree and knocked me to the ground. So if you will please move out of the way…I gotta finish my beef with this beast!” Ekans huffed, unwilling to admit that it was wrong.

“Wait…are you saying you’re the cause?” Ekans asked casually after thinking about it some more. Could that make sense? This Pokemon definitely had the wings for it. But before Ekans could deliberate on it anymore, a Poke Ball soared through the air and swallowed it whole. What in the world was this?! Was this Arceus’ doing?! Was Arceus trying to capture it and fly far away with it as punishment?! Enough was enough! The ball rocked angrily across the ground as though it were possessed as the serpent tried to break free. But after several minutes, Ekans would eventually give up and admit defeat. Arceus – or whoever – was free to claim it as their own…it supposed…

"I may not be Arceus, but what kind of blessing your cousin was wishing? Wake up another day? Must be some very easy wishes." The Charizard replied as he was flying down.

The fire type listened patiently as the Ekans was screaming about Arceus and babbling about this beast. He couldn't help but muttered a "What?" before the snake was captured.

His eyes met with Ethan as he went to pick up the captured Ekans. The fire lizard chuckled as he wanted to fly a little more. He attempted a thumbs up with his new hands at Ethan, and then leaped up and flew one more time. Soon enough, he went to blast another Air Cutter hopefully to find either Poochyena or Murkrow that he had beef with, and not silly little Ekans or Spinarak.

Ethan gave his Charizard a thumbs up back as he hurried to eat his food before they got cold.

[Caramell 🍬]

Though the first Ekans had been captured and wouldn’t be able to answer all of Dynner’s questions, another watched up high in the trees with mild interest. This strange beast was strong. Capable. It had spent its whole life searching for someone who could keep up with its own fighting spirit and give it a challenge. Ekans slithered across the branch it was currently stretched out across and down the wide trunk of the tree so that it could be more visible. Then it waved the rattles at the tip of its tail high into the air. “Hello up there!” Ekans called enthusiastically.

Now…how could it convince this Pokemon to give it a real challenge? It could just make itself out to be an enemy. The thoughts of rushing over to Ethan and trying to poison Dynner’s human was pretty amusing too, but it didn’t want to sour possible diplomacy and make itself out to be a bigger threat than it was. Ekans knew that if it wasn’t cautious enough, this powerful Charizard could choose to do more than just faint it, which Ekans had spent too many years training and growing stronger just to risk it all over such silly motions. No…the direct approach seemed to be best. “I’ve been looking for a worthy opponent to face off against for a long time. Care to battle?” It called to Dynner.

Dynner’s sharp winds would slash through the air itself and land sure to hit its mark. The blast knocked the long serpent up high into the air, where it spun around as though it were trapped inside of a tornado for a brief second. As soon as Ekans dropped to the ground, it would spring back up, coiling its long body underneath its head to prop itself up as high as it could. Staring directly at Dynner, it waited until he was just close enough and spat long strings of hot acid from its fangs, which burned slightly against Dynner’s scaley flesh. “Oh, that’s a nice move! Care to show me anything else I haven’t seen already?” Ekans asked coyly.

Dynner heard something and flew down again to see who was hissing at him this time. It was an Ekans who was looking for a battle. "Yeah I can give you a battle. No holding back though, as I am still getting used to my new form!" He replied and laughed. His draconian laughter echoed a little bit in the forest. The Air Cutter sent the Ekans flying, and when it landed on its tail or neck or body, it sprayed an acidic substance making the Charizard screamed in pain.

Ethan hadn't even think about dessert yet and went over again. It was another Ekans. The Charizard leaned his back and was readied for either Flamethrower or Dragon Breath. The trainer grabbed a Pokeball and loudly told the fire type to wait. "Another Ekans? I might capture this one then!" He hurled the capture device and waited to see the result of this capture attempt.

[Caramell 🍬]

The wild snake was pleased to hear Dynner promise not to go too easy on it. All that Ekans had to practice with in its forest was a bunch of small rodents and wild dogs. While some of the firedogs that were often capable opponents who gave it a challenge at times, Ekans had largely grown tired of the same things day after day. “Please don’t disappoint me.” Ekans hissed, pressing the rattle at the tip of its tail against its ‘chin’ thoughtfully. “Holding back would disappoint me. I’ve grown rather tired of the weaklings in my forested homeland, you see, and want to see if anyone is capable of defeating me in combat.” It smiled.

Ekans prepared its own attack, hoping to poison its opponent and cloak Charizard’s wings in a thick sludge that could hopefully make it harder for him to fly. Ekans knew that this wasn’t the same as battling the wild rodents that barely thought about their next move. The strange bipedal human was proof of this. Though Ekans hadn’t encountered many humans in its lifetime and wasn’t quite sure what a trainer actually looked like, it guessed Ethan might be close to that at the very least. “Also tell me…is that what some Pokemon call ‘trainer’? Is there any benefit to traveling with one?” It just had to know.

Whether Dynner would have won the next round or not, Ekans would never know. (He totally would have. Peeps those stats, yo.) Ethan easily tossed a small orb in Ekans’ direction, snapping the bright purple snake up inside in the blink of an eye. It was dazed and confused. As soon as the Poke ball landed on the grassy ground, Ekans fought from inside of it. This caused the Poke Ball to rock back and forth in the tall grass as it tried to escape. But it was far too weak to manage to break free, and after several minutes that might have felt like hours, it would give up and admit defeat to this strange orb.

Sadly, the Charizard had to disappoint his opponent because Ethan came with a Pokeball. The Ekans was sucked inside and disappeared without much of a struggle. The fire type managed to reply the Ekans real quick, "Yeah, that's a 'trainer', supposedly they bring out your full potential, like evolving to your final form!"

Once the Ekans was captured, the fire type took up to the sky again. It was getting late and he was getting tired. He figured he would just feel the cool night sky one more time before landing by the small campsite and take a rest. He flew up in the air, and looked downward one more time, where were those Poochyena gang or know-it-all Murkrows that were harassing them earlier? Now he can blow them away with an Air Cutter! The Ekans and Spinarak did them no harm, but the way the Poochyena and the Murkrow spoke was annoying him.

[Caramell 🍬]

While Dynner searched out the wild dogs that plagued the hills, another Pokemon searched through the wild grasses. There was vengeance burning within their hearts. The strange creatures that walked on two legs and commanded Pokemon at every turn had it good for far too long. Purple streaks raced through the tall green grasses, attacking, and gnawing at anything that even remotely looked like a human’s leg. Most of the time they found their long teeth stuck inside of thick tree barks when they’d accidentally bit into an old tree stump or small sapling. But they weren’t going to give up and go home anytime soon.

War was waging along these hills! The kind that some strange kid who had a vendetta against all rat kind because he’d gone out of his way to catch one rat’s mate had cause. As soon as the biggest and burliest of rats noticed Ethan through the thick brush, it stopped and slapped its tail against the ground as a rallying cry. “Rattata, hear my words! For far too long we’ve been beaten on and pushed around. But no longer! Fall back, and watch as I easily tear this man to shreds with my impressive teeth!”

The other Rattata did as they were instructed and fell back into the tall grasses. They watched with wide red eyes, some with fear sprinkled inside of their gaze and others with a hunger to exact revenge. The bold purple rodent leaped out of the grasses by itself, aiming for Ethan’s leg as it spread its mouth apart hungrily. Dynner moved in swiftly, however, sending long sharp blades of air that knocked it backwards through the grass. All of the Ratta gasped, shocked at how unbelievably powerful this strange airborne lizard was. In a flash, they fled back over the hills and disappeared just as quickly as they arrived. “Fall back! They’ve brought a powerful dragon to fight this war. We’re not ready!” Was all that could be heard trailing behind them.

A Wild Rattata attacks!

The Charizard was getting tired. Well, there's no Murkrow or Poochyena out here at night now. Maybe the birds had gone to sleep in their cocky and nerdy nest, and the pack barkers have went to sleep in their fluffy little group. He flew back down to be near Ethan's campsite, gently blowing the campfire and the tent a little. Ethan's Pokemon gathered around him for celebration.

"Wow, strong boy, you're now a strong man now!" Felime purred both sarcastically and congratulorily.

"You did great man! The stars have seen your growth!" Disco spun and danced as it threw its hands up to celebrate.

Ethan approached the fire type and congratulated him, and tried to gave him a high five. Then, he realized the Charizard's paw was now strong enough to push him over, and he nearly fell. "Haha, you're strong! You got me! You ready for a good night rest?" He laughed, as the group prepared and claimed their favorite outdoor sleeping position.

[Caramell 🍬]

The night waned on, carrying with it the sounds of hounds howling in the distance as one seemed to confront possible prey in the dead of night. Was it another rat they cornered so easily, ready to pounce on it and rip it to shreds? Or a human trapped within their hunting party’s gaze, curled around them so securely that they afforded them so chance at escape? The hills might have seemed quiet and peaceful, though truthfully they teemed with life as many Pokemon crawled throughout their vast expanse, hurling themselves up and down the steep ledges that lined the tall hillside and made easy travel completely improbable.

A small creature hunkered down inside of Ethan’s tent after it managed to find a small opening that it could squeeze itself inside of. His tent looked safe and secure, with high walls to protect it from the approaching dogs who tore through anything and everything in their path. It also came with a roof to block out the flying avian’s attempts at snatching it up out of its silky webs in the dead of night to make a tasty snack out of it. It could overhear Ethan and his Pokemon celebrating the ‘sky beast’ it only heard rumors of, before noticing Dynner soaring through the air on his new wings, and quickly darting inside of his tent.

Though the spider hoped it had found safe refuge, it was only a matter of time before the young man would venture inside of it to discover his newfound sleeping partner. Spinarak worked speedily inside of the tent. It pointed its butt at the corners of the tent and spat out long strands of silk, which it hung with care as it recreated the perfect webbing for itself high off the ground and near the roof of the tent. It smiled quietly to itself, peacefully drinking in the merry talks of the others just outside the tent. “As long as they stay out there.” Spinarak chatted softly to itself, crawling up and inside its own web. “Then I have nothing to fear at all.” What a beautiful dream it dreamed, hoping not to be discovered by man nor beast inside of its secluded ‘cave’.

The Spinarak sneaking into Ethan's tent and creating a web did not take long for one of his Pokemon to notice it, as the sound of the web shooting from the spider created a little noise. The spinning Baltoy detected it with its mental detection, and floated its way inside the human's tent to investigate.

"You're not supposed to be here." It peered inside the tent to see the Spinarak crawling on a web strand or two trying to make a new home. Using its Psychic powers, the Baltoy carefully lifted the Spinarak, and every tracing of the silky webs from within the tent, and pulled them out back into the outdoor.

"Another Spinarak? I think I chased them off with my fire or a gust from my wings earlier." The Charizard looked and was surprised. "I don't know why they keep coming back."

Baltoy refrained from replying yet as it was still transporting the Spinarak in the air like it was picking up a visitor in Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, before dropping off the bug type farther from their camp.

[Caramell 🍬]

Spinarak jumped as soon as the flimsy door to the tent moved, and Disco entered. Someone discovered its plan! As soon as it jumped, though, it tripped and dropped on the tent’s floor, flipping, and fumbling about. “I just need a place to sleep for the night and escape the scary flying lizard out there! Please, I beg of you, have mercy!” Spinarak skittered erratically all over the ground, begging with Disco. It would sneak up behind them, jumping up onto Disco’s back, and slammed its fist into the side of Disco’s face from behind. “Oh dear, oops! I’m sorry! Truly! I just...can’t have to telling anyone about me.”

Disco lifted it up with his psychic powers and toted him outside of the tent in ease. Meanwhile, the spider flipped around in the air, kicking its little buggy legs as it tried to break free. There was no hope now! The birds would eat it up before it had any chance to survive! If the birds didn’t get it, then surely that scary beast that soared through the skies would find it! As soon as it noticed Dynner while being toted away by Disco, it’s eyes widened in alarm. “Ya’ll are working together?!” It screamed in disbelief. “Please don’t sacrifice me to your flames, great fire lizard!”

Spinarak would skitter away, off through the hills and past the tall grasses that grew all around them, as soon as Disco dropped it. There was no way it could stay here! It needed to get as far away as it possibly could and never look back. They were all crazy. “They’re out to get me!” Random mutterings of a fearful arachnid echoed behind in its wake. “Gunna burn the whole forest down. Probably hate trees, the whole lot of ‘em! Bet they never knew a mother’s love, either! Can’t even stand to see a perfectly made web! They just like ugly things, surely!” And so on, and so forth.

Disco's mind was too focused to lift the Spinarak up and away from the tent to respond. However, when Dynner noticed the Spinarak protesting and screaming at him, he laughed back. "Nah, I am done flying for the night. UNLESS, you're trying to press my buttons." He taunted and teased the little squeaking bug. It was last heard muttering to itself as it skittered away.

"Disco!" Ethan hollered at his psychic type after its eyes had stopped glowing from using the mental power. "Thank you for clearing the bug out! I should go double check my tent to see if anything's there before I sleep for real..." He kneeled down and thanked his spinning doll Pokemon by patting it on the head. Then, he headed inside the tent with a flashlight as he inspected every inch for any missing web or silky threads.

The Pokemon sat outside and stared at the stars as they talked about battles in their past.
