Fang screamed in pain, sitting as she got a hold of her knee, wincing with pain as Green ran outside. “Fang, are you ok?!!” He asked, carrying her. “I hit my knee, Green! It hurts so much!!” He ran inside and laid her on the couch, running off to get supplies from the local shop. It was pretty bad… it looked like it was broken. Green panted as he reached the Kecleon Bros. shop, with the brothers asking, “Green, you seem as if you’re in distress! Would you like-” Green cut them off. “I’m gonna need a wood plank, a slip-on cast, and surgical bandages, please…” They smiled happily. “We have all of those, except for the bandages. Is that ok?

“I can accept it. How much will it be?”

“2000 Poke, please!”

Green dug into his wallet, finding about 500.

Just then, Kecleon said, “We also take IOUs! Would you like to hold one for us?” Green smiled and nodded, getting the 500 Poke. “I’ll get the money back to you by tomorrow. Thanks, guys.” He said, smiling. “Anything for an old friend!” They said, smiling. Green smiled and ran off, waving as he took the supplies with him.

Just as he got home, he got back to Fang and got a wooden plank, pressing it onto her leg and wrapping it up in bandages. “You should be fine in a few days. Pokemon recover faster than humans.” He said, smiling as he laid on the floor, relaxed as he stared at the ceiling. “Do you mean that, Green?” Fang asked, tilting her head. He nodded. “You told me about that time you broke your arm 5 years ago. Back when we first started this business. You said it took months to heal that arm. Also, I broke my leg once, too. It healed in a few days.” Fang smiled at Green as he said that. Just then… a heartbroken Beedrill was at the door. “Guys… come to the square…” He said. Green nodded and picked Fang up, running to the square as he carried her in his arms. Soon, everyone found Shiftry.

“It’s come to our attention that Alakazam and his team haven’t come back yet. We can only assume that they were struck down, but not to worry! We can assemble a special team to go and rescue them!” He said as a reassuring smile was on his face. “So, anyone want to do it?” Silence. For mere minutes, there was absolute silence before a deep voice spoke up. “I’ll do it.” a Blastoise walked up as he said it, smiling. “I’m coming with you.” a Golem walked up as well. “Don’t forget me. We’re up against Fire here.” an Octillery joined the trio. “We’ll be able to do it!”

Just then, Fang spoke up. “What about us, Shiftry? We can take Groudon!”

“Oh really? Look at your leg! It’s broken! You can’t even walk!” Shiftry said.

“That doesn’t even matter! Don’t forget that we already fought the Legendary Birds! Don’t forget that WE saved YOU from Zapdos!! We fought Articuno and Moltres to find out the truth about ME!”

“Fang, I’m sorry, I-”

“We went up Mt. Blaze to-”

“WELL I’M SORRY IF WE ALL CARE ABOUT THE BOTH OF YOU SO MUCH!!!” Shiftry yelled with a booming voice. Soon, silence had once again taken over everyone. Lombre and Caterpie looked at the duo with tears in their eyes. Soon, Green ran for the base, just on the verge of sobbing his eyes out. Just as they left, Caterpie said, “Fang… I… I didn’t know…”

Green set Fang on the couch as he sat down, leaning on the side of the couch as he started crying.
