ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
The vast array of colors blended into a long string of mixed hues, stuck somewhere between golden yellows and ruddy browns with flecks of green and red washed between their reaches. The young boy’s heart pounded inside of his chest like war drums. It turned his hot blood cold, causing ice to form into his veins, creating sporadic heartbeats that skyrocketed, then crashed, then skyrocketed once more. Sounds called from the distance, a guttural echo of anguish and anger. They clamored beyond the vast expanse of golden elephant grass, somewhere beyond the places where the sun’s bright rays might reach.
Nidorina came to a skidding halt. Large, powerful ears turned eastward, followed by a tilt of her thick neck, so that her rich gaze was cast towards the horizon line. Dots of purplish-pink and blue hides with large spikes jutting out from their spine collected in a quiet row, their calls booming with such ruckus that the long grassy blades around Zaiden himself shook and shivered. He watched with quiet hesitation, hunkered between the tall blades as though they might afford him the perfect camouflage, and waited. Would she turn tail so easily in the midst of their scuffle or continue in her headlong chase?
Another call echoed from over the horizon line, calling out to Nidorina where she stood frozen in time. Those long ears with sharp spines along their edges twitched, listening intently to every note sung to her. She bellowed; a powerful sound blasted from her diaphragm and called back out to her tribe. The conversation, though lost entirely to Zaiden in depth or meaning, bounced back and forth between the two for several rounds. Nidorina pawed anxiously at the earth as she communicated with her tribe, a mix of worry and fear interspersed with anxious anger in her words.
Then she slumped onto her four limbs and raced off towards her tribe. Nidorina’s voice shifted from anger and pain to joy and relief. Zaiden smiled quietly to himself, a single tear collecting in the corner of his rich chocolate hued eyes. Even if he’d been the target of Nidorina’s frustrations and had his life put in jeopardy more than once, there was a strange sort of joy he found within himself by witnessing her reunion with her kin. He turned after they disappeared back over the horizon line and stalked his way around the savannah once more. There was hope blossoming in the pit of Zaiden’s chest that he might yet find something worthwhile out in the fields around him.

Something like a blur moved through the golden-brown grasses, nearly blending in with them. Seamlessly, a head popped up and stared back. It was a large head with fluffy brown feathers and a long, thin yellow beak. Two beady eyes adorned its head that it used to stare at the world with. When Zaiden marveled at such a beauty, it disappeared, then popped up in a different spot altogether. Was it playing with him? The bird grunted, calling out to Zaiden with a loud booming trill.
He was nervous. Would this strange creature attack him? Though he recognized Doduo instantly when both heads popped up and stayed, those burning black eyes focused intently on their target, he couldn’t shake the fear. Everything around the area fought or fled, yet this strange creature wanted to play. They were originally discovered as a mutation, and eventually became the species staple, leaving no traces of the original bird Pokemon who only had one head.
He lunged forward, hands reaching out only to play with the strange bird. Doduo raised its entire body up and ruffled its feathers, fluffing itself up. Then it zipped, feet kicking against the grainy sands underneath its sharp talons, simultaneously ripping chunks of long grass out of the earth. Zaiden pulled back, confused and a bit dazed, and watched the large avian dart in a headlong circle around him. It snuck up from behind, slamming one of its large heads against Zaiden’s back.
He rocked on the tip of his toes. Unaware of the playful bird’s sneaky assault, Zaiden toppled over into the grass. His hands flung up at his side and spun in the air wildly. Try as he might, Zaiden couldn’t stop himself from falling over. Instead, he had to use his hands to brace himself, snatching bits of grass out of their roots along the way. “Oof!” He cried out painfully, rolling over to rub a sore spot on one of his elbows. Man, they were that strong?! They just looked like goofy birds with two heads!
When Doduo cried out again, hopping forward to jump directly on top of Zaiden’s collapsed body, he struggled. He couldn’t push it off him or crawl out from underneath the large bird, whose weight felt like a 12 year old boy laying on top of him. His struggling to move at all was all he could do to free a hand. The hand he freed reached into his pocket, grabbing one of the Safari balls with a click of a button, and tossed it at Doduo hopefully. Maybe he’d at least get to come home with this beauty instead?
