A small western shellos suddenly walked into the middle of the road. it cried softly, clearly lost from it's trainer.

"H-Hey, little fella? You ok out here?" Ashley asked, remembering something. "Is your name Shelly by any chance?"

The little shellos was startled hearing its name. Out of nowhere, a shady boy with demonic looking wings and a tail swooped in, grabbing the small shellos before perching in the trees and heading a little deeper into the woods.

"Dusty! did you see--? Come on!" Ashley shouted, breaking into a sprint and mounting Dusty on the run. The Flygon went into pursuit, weaving out of the way of trees.

"It's okay Shelly, I won't let you get kidnapped again" The boy said, an ice fang attack biting Dusty as they made their way through the trees. "Stay away from Shelly if you know what's best for you and that flygon of yours" The voice growled, bright yellow eyes surrounding them on all angles.

"Gooon--!" Dusty cried, severely injured by the attack. Ashley yelped as Dusty plummeted to the ground. She quickly got up. "If that's how you wanna play... Slick! I choose You!" She said, tossing the Pokeball into the air. The Blue seal came out in a flash and barked in a prideful manner, as if challenging the Boy and those other eyes to come at him. "S'leo! Seal!" Dusty picked himself up and roared, any fear of Ice pokemon turned into pure rage.

A thunder fang attack suddenly struck the Sealeo, the attacker heading back into the trees. "Now, I'll let you go if you agree to tell the rest of your kind to leave this Shellos alone, I'm not letting her get kidnapped again" The voice in the trees growled.

"I think you got it backwards. You're the one who kidnapped Shelly!"

"I'm not kidnapping Shelly, I'm returning her, to her rightful owner!" The boy in the trees growled, the shellos yelling in agreement. "Now scram, or my partners will make quick work of your Pokemon.

"Seal..." Slick whimpered.
"Fly! G-gon!" Dusty Roared.
"And do you happen to know who the owner might be? Where he may be?" Ashley shouted. She didn't know why she was shouting at this guy, be she had a hard time believing a guy that looked like something you would see in a nightmare.
