“We’re packing up, Green..” Fang said as she stuffed the Toolbox with berries, Elixirs, and Blast Seeds. “I can’t do this…” Green looked at her, distressed. “Why can’t you do it, Fang?” He asked, kneeling in front of her. “I’m tired of this, Green. I can’t take it. I don’t know if I’m good for the team anymore…” She said. Green then punched her in the stomach. “Stop talking like that!!!” He screamed. “Wasn’t it you who told me not to lose my faith in you?! Wasn’t it you who dragged me through the canyon to try to find out the truth about your past?! Wasn’t it you who even had faith in me, no matter what?! Wasn’t it you who even said we’ll never know until we found the truth?! Well?!” Fang stood up and walked up to him, but he continued yelling, “I don’t think you’re like yourself anymore, Fang! I can’t go on like this if you’re gonna give up this easily! This isn’t what I wanted for us!” He soon joined hands with hers and calmed down, starting to cry. “I just wanted for the both of us to be happy, Fang. This is the exact opposite.” He said in the midst of his tears. Fang, realizing her mistakes, hugged Green. “I… I’m sorry, Green… I shouldn’t have said that…” She said. As she burrowed her face into Green’s chest, she began to glow, and she soon began to change.

Green stepped back, surprised. He didn’t expect her to evolve just now. But it was exactly what she needed. After transforming, she looked at herself, and was surprised.Never before had she felt so… powerful. So flexible, and very, very fast. With one last scan of her body, she looked at Green in amazement. “D-Did I finally evolve?” She asked. But her realization came from Green, who was giving her a warm smile. “Yeah. Now, this new strength of yours should do well… I talked with Alakazam, and he told us that we’re gonna have to run off someday…” He said. “I guess he meant today.” Fang nodded, and looked out the door. Thankfully, no one had spotted her, but Caterpie was there. “Fang..? Green?” She asked. Fang let her inside. Fang then had a long talk with Caterpie.

“Caterpie… I want you to listen to me. Tell the people who believe in me that I’m going to find out who I really am… So I can see if I am the human from the Ninetales Legend. Is that ok?” She asked, tears in her eyes.

“But… Fang… We… I…” Caterpie was speechless.

“I’ll be back. I promise.” Fang soon hugged Caterpie. “Consider this your first mission as a member of our team.”

Caterpie was excited. In a flash, Caterpie ran off, leaving Fang surprised. “She is fast…” she said. “But… We’re gonna have to be fast too, Green.” She smiled and offered her hand to him. “Do you want to run with me, Green?” In response, Green laid his hand on the palm of her hand and nodded. “Of course.” He said. “It’s like what you said one time. I can’t do without you. And you can’t do without me. That’s our rescue team motto, is it not?” He smiled. Fang giggled and hugged him. “Let’s just go already… I can smell the angry mob from here.” She said. With that… they ran off. Pursuers, however, spotted them, and gave chase without them knowing.

After what seemed like hours, Fang and Green had conquered every fissure, fire, and flood that was in their way. After the time they ran, they finally reached a cave, panting heavily. “D-Do you think they chased us?” Green asked, wiping the sweat from his hair. Fang nodded. “Probably. I mean, we are the most wanted people in the world. Besides… they think I’m the human from the legend, Green.” Fang said, smiling. “There they are! Attack!” Shiftry said, surprising Green. “Shoot! We’ve gotta get in there, Fang!” He said, pulling her into the cave, running as fast as he possibly could. “Oh, Arceus!!!” Fang screamed, not expecting this. Green soon slowed down and let her go.

“I’m sorry, Fang, but this is the only way we can go now.” He said.

“It’s not that, Green… you scared the living crap out of me.” Fang responded, laughing with an embarassed look on her face.

“Oh, I see how it is. You’re lucky I don’t have the mask.” Green smirked.

“I swear to Arceus, Green, I’m gonna hit you if you ever mention that mask again.”

“I’m only kidding, Fang.”

“Sure, you are.”

“Oh, so now you’re being sarcastic?”

“Maybe I am. What’re you gonna do about it?”

Green smirked. “I know exactly what I’m gonna do about it!” He said as he pulled Fang in and gave her a long noogie. Fang laughed and pretended to struggle, and soon, he let her go.

“Ok, you got me there.” Fang said. “But seriously, I hate that mask, Green.” They sighed and stood up, beginning to walk. “So, Fang. What do you think is gonna be on the other side of this cave?” Green asked. Fang shrugged. “I don’t know, Green. I can’t really predict the future. But what I do know… Is that we’re still gonna have to keep going. Until we find the truth.” Green nodded, and was suddenly blown away by a powerful gust of wind. Fang turned to see Shiftry and his team. “Shiftry… I don’t wanna have to do this, dude…” Fang said. Shiftry hesitated, but then he said, “Well, that’s too bad, punk. You’re a wanted woman with your best friend. Face it, you’re gonna die.” Fang scowled. “You know…” Fang started. “You were one of the people I saved. And this is how it’s repaid?” She soon charged a fire attack. “Well, I’ve got news for you. Pal.” She said. “I won’t let you kill me!” With that, she ran in, and surrounded herself in flames as she did a Flame Wheel attack. In that instant, Shiftry dodged it, but that didn’t stop her from rebounding from her feet, changing to a Quick Attack. A white aura surrounded her as she threw out 5 kicks, but then Shiftry dodged all 5 and used Leaf Blade. Although Fang dodged the first 2 attacks, he got her on the third.

As she recovered from the attack, Shiftry charged at her, but then Green suddenly used Pound to send him flying. “No one hurts Fang like that…” He said, snarling. Shiftry stood up and charged at Green instead, clashing attacks as Green was backed into a wall. Fang once again charged up and rushed at Shiftry, using Flame Wheel. It struck him in the side, and once she stopped, Shiftry was sent flying into a wall. Soon, Fang used Quick Attack once more, striking him with his hand to render him unconscious. “That’s for the Leaf Blade.” She said, backing away from Shiftry’s unconscious body. Panting, she went over to Green and they soon rushed deeper into the cave.

“Fang… What was that just now?” Green asked. Fang sighed and smiled. “Don’t tell me you forgot about my ability!” She said, smiling. She put her arm around him and ate an Oran Berry. Fang soon handed him the berry after eating it in half, and he happily obliged, eating the other half of the berry. “Blaze, right?” He asked. She nodded. “That’s right.” She said. “It activated after the Leaf Blade struck me.” He sighed. “It’s just… we have somewhat of the same abilities, y’know?” He said. Fang giggled. “Looks like we have a lot more in common than we thought.” She said. Green smiled. “Yeah. Maybe we do.”
