A very spicy bug!

Selective Rp-blog for Galvan the Scizor. Description to come later when I decide to stop being lazy as sin.

Epilogue to chapter one - New Arrivals

When Galvan came too, Rita immediately stopped the leech seeds and pulled them off of Dreigh while putting a feeler to the Scizor’s forehead and smiling a bit. “Okay good, he’s awake, but until we cure the poison inside of him he won’t be able to move his wings. Hello dear, you’re not doing too fine right now so try your best to reserve energy, and the birdie you’re talking about was Tookie, she’s fine, she’s fetching some things for you right now as we speak along with our leaders. Do you have a name?”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan was still a little out of it due to his situation, but he was able to respond after a short moment. “R-Right, um… I’ll have to thank Tookie.” He said, feeling rather uneasy. Mostly since he is unable to flutter his wings currently. “My name is Galvan. I-I’m a chef from Unova.” He introduced himself, giving as good a smile as he could right now.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

“Galvan, nice to meet you. I’m known as Momma Rità around here and this is my partner, Dreigh. Right now you’re very sick and if we’re not quick enough about it, you can potentially die. Don’t freak out, I have my fastest associates on gathering the materials I need right now and once I get them, I can make you a cure.” The Meganium stated as calmly as possible before standing up and then heading toward a flower patch. She reached her feelers into it and pulled out a wooden bowl and stick then returned to him.

“Tell me, did you eat anything from..here? Er-let me reiterate..something in the wild? Native to this land?”

[galvan-the-chef]

“I-It is nice to meet you Miss Rita, and you too Mister Dreigh.” Galvan then felt a little nervous at the prospect of well, dying. He had just gotten here, and already he had screwed up so badly he was very close to dying. Not exactly the best confidence booster. “W-Well, all I had since I got here were these little round berries, I-I thought they looked safe to eat…” He answered her nervously. “A-Am I in trouble, Miss Rita?”

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

Dreigh huffed as he was spoken to. The Noivern wasn’t much of a social type and only talked to Lark and Swift because his stay was under their lead; In fact,t he only person he was ever truly social with was Rita and sometimes Tookie. His rude response was met with a slight frown from Rita however and earned him a lash from one of her feelers which was mostly ineffective but did send its message.

“You’re only in trouble if I can make this cure in time, but from the looks of things you have more than enough time. The berry you eat was probably what we cal here a reverse Cheri berry. They look exactly like a Cheri berry with the only clear distinction being a sliiightly darker shade of red. As you can imagine, we call it a reverse Cheri berry because instead of loosening up paralyzed muscles, it makes them tighter and more tense to the point of complete immobilization. If you consume one too many, it’ll stop your heart and you’ll die within a few seconds, but you’re fine, not fine as in you’re healthy, fine as in you’re not going to die from the poisoning, but if we don’t get your wings flapping again you’ll die from overheating.”

As she explained this to him, Lark came down quick with a small wooden bucket filled as high as possible with water and not too long after that Swift came with the berries requested. Both birds placed the materials down next to Rita then Swift took a step closer to Galvan and just stared down at him for a moment before looking at Rita. “He will live?” She asked as Rita took the Pecha berries and placed them inside the bowl then crushed them up with the stick.

“He will be fine once I get that root from your tree. Now, Galvan, as I was explaining to you. Right now your muscles are not going respond to you at all, you’re not paralyzed though, that’s a common misconception about the Reverse Cheri. People think it paralyzes, but really it’s a poison attacking your nervous system so you use Pecha solutions to fix this one, now I do warn you. The medicine I’m going to make you will taste AWFUL, but that’ll pass. After all I’m sure a bitter taste in exchange for your life is fair, no?”

Lark and Swift looked at each other with expressions of disgust. They’ve tried Rita’s medicines before and knew just how bad they can be; Effective, yes, but even they wondered to themselves which was more worth it. While they went about that, Faye finally made her way to the group. In her mouth she was holding a root that she dropped by Rita.

“I hope you know I just got done grooming myself and now I got dirt all over my scarf again..” She complained while crossing her paws to which Rita chuckled and took the root. “I appreciate your sacrifice, Faye, dear. Now.”

Rita squeezed the root tightly till she got a green tinted liquid to spill from it into the bowl. After that she added water to the bowl and mixed it with the stick a little more before finally standing up and approaching Galvan’s face. Carefully she got his mouth opened and poured the liquid down into his mouth. It was just as she said, the medicine was extremely bitter in taste, but it would definitely do it’s intended purpose and help loosen up his body all around Once the entire thing was gone, Rita would place the bowl down next to her then head over to what was left of the bucket of water then proceed to toss it over Galvan.

“There. He should be fine in a few minutes if not seconds.”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan seemed relieved that he was going to make it. Though he was doing his best now to remember everything Rita is telling him, as he doesn’t want to end up in a situation like this again. Thankfully with his experience as a chef, he’d be able to figure out this distinction now that he actually knows about it.

He was about to speak up when the two Togekiss arrived, watching as one of them seemed to be inspecting him closely. It did make him feel a little bit awkward, but that passed soon enough. “Y-Yes, I do not mind. A bitter taste is nothing compared to my other fate…”

Though once the liquid actually hit his mouth, the full bitterness hit him like a rock type rolling down a hill. His eyes widened quite significantly, but he was doing his best to drink it all. Thankfully it was over soon, and Galvan took a few deep breaths as he felt his chest area loosen up a bit. Though as his body slowly regained muscle control, Galvan was still in an awkward state from having been paralyzed, so his muscles spaz out a little while his wings come out and start fluttering like mad. “O-Oh dear, I-I’m sorry if I have little control right now…” He apologized.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

As Galvan regained…somewhat control of himself, Rita and the others celebrated a mini rejoice while not seeming to mind at all that he was not entirely in control of himself.

“You’ll regain full control of yourself soon enough, my dear.” Rita said as she stood and started a walk off. “If you need anything else, those two know where to find me. Let’s go dreigh.”

All that was left now was him, Faye, Lark, Swift and Tookie who just for a moment watched him with smiles on their faces then tilted their heads.

“Wait…so what now? Where is your home anyway?” Faye asked while the others just nodded to agree with that question. 

[galvan-the-chef]

“Thank you so much, Miss Rita. I owe you one.” Galvan said with a smile, though his muscles were till kinda twitching. When they left, he saw the other four Pokemon watching him, getting a little nervous until one of them spoke up. “My home? I’m from Unova. I mostly stayed at White Forest until I found a job in Castelia City as a chef.” He replied, smiling softly.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

“A chef?” Tookie squawked while flying close to him.

Lark and Swift both just looked at each otjer then Faye before finally looking back at Galvan. “Hey, I hope you didn’t have any intention of getting back to Unova any time soon. This continent is pretty remote from the already known ones so there’s not really any boats or what not to take anyone back. Ask Faye here, she’ll tell you the same thing and she too is from Unova.”

Faye nods and climbs up on top of Lark’s head. “Tis true. A big ol'predator bird snatched me up and next thing I know, after passing out, I woke up here…”

Swift meanwhile looked at her brother again and whispered something to him which made Lark bring a wing beneath his chin as he looked up and thought then nodded. “Oooh, yeah yeah, you have a point..” he said while getting a slight smile on his face before looking back at Galvan. “You’re always welcome to stay here though! A chef would be something useful to have. We kinda have…a little problem, y'see..”

As Lark made a few incoherent gestures with his wings, his sister rolled her eyes and stepped closer to the Scizor. “What my brother is trying to iterate is that we have predators here who eat meat and prey, but the predaotrs tend to Just rip apart bodies and make messes as well as sometimes leave dead carcasses around which stink up the place, but if you can cook meats, they get their fill and yiy elimate that problem for us. How does that sound? In return, you’re protected by everyone here.”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan did initially seem worried at the prospect of not being able to return home soon, but he had left initially to learn about cuisines in new lands. Though this setback of getting stranded here, he was going to make the best of this situation. Though it helped calm his nerves knowing the Cinccino was also Unovan.

“Well, I wasn’t carried here by bird, b-but I did get stranded here when a bad storm carried my raft far off where I intended to go…” He seemed a little embarrassed now that he said it out loud. He actually planned going by raft from Unova to Alola by himself. A rather not well thought out plan…

“A-Ah, you really mean it? I can stay here?” Galvan looked a little hopeful, and then focused when he heard they had a problem with predators. Now, despite Galvan being a Scizor, he had very little combat prowess, in fact he was downright terrible at that sort of thing if things got ugly. “A-Ah, they aren’t going to eat me, are they?” Galvan asked, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

How unfortunate, they all thought. Not that where he landed was bad though, considering that now that he was there they were more than willing to accept him, but seeing how they weren’t needed anymore, Swift and Faye both looked at Lark, Swift leaning over to whisper something to her brother which he gave a confirming nod to and then watched her fly off with the Cinccino holding onto her head.

“Okay, back to you.” Lark said with a smile. “Of course you’re welcome here, hopefully you’re not used to living a human life style though, here in this sanctuary we live one hundred percent wild meaning that you’ll be cooking over a fire made by sticks and not a oven. Hopefully that’s alright for you and I don’t mean to cut this conversation short, but I must be getting back to my post now, alright? Surely you can make yourself at home by yourself right?”

[galvan-the-chef]

"O-Oh dear, it will take a lot of time to adjust to cooking that way." Galvan chuckled nervously, hearing how they were completely wild here. Though maybe with a bit of ingenuity, he may be able to make something close enough to be familiar with. But that was for another time. "Once I get my muscles under control again, I should be fine. Thank you very much!" The grateful bug replied with a small smile.

They look exactly like a Cheri berry with the only clear distinction being a sliiightly darker shade of red. As you can imagine, we call it a reverse Cheri berry because instead of loosening up paralyzed muscles, it makes them tighter and more tense to the point of complete immobilization. If you consume one too many, it’ll stop your heart and you’ll die within a few seconds, but you’re fine, not fine as in you’re healthy, fine as in you’re not going to die from the poisoning, but if we don’t get your wings flapping again you’ll die from overheating.”

As she explained this to him, Lark came down quick with a small wooden bucket filled as high as possible with water and not too long after that Swift came with the berries requested. Both birds placed the materials down next to Rita then Swift took a step closer to Galvan and just stared down at him for a moment before looking at Rita. “He will live?” She asked as Rita took the Pecha berries and placed them inside the bowl then crushed them up with the stick.

“He will be fine once I get that root from your tree. Now, Galvan, as I was explaining to you. Right now your muscles are not going respond to you at all, you’re not paralyzed though, that’s a common misconception about the Reverse Cheri. People think it paralyzes, but really it’s a poison attacking your nervous system so you use Pecha solutions to fix this one, now I do warn you. The medicine I’m going to make you will taste AWFUL, but that’ll pass. After all I’m sure a bitter taste in exchange for your life is fair, no?”

Lark and Swift looked at each other with expressions of disgust. They’ve tried Rita’s medicines before and knew just how bad they can be; Effective, yes, but even they wondered to themselves which was more worth it. While they went about that, Faye finally made her way to the group. In her mouth she was holding a root that she dropped by Rita.

“I hope you know I just got done grooming myself and now I got dirt all over my scarf again..” She complained while crossing her paws to which Rita chuckled and took the root. “I appreciate your sacrifice, Faye, dear. Now.”

Rita squeezed the root tightly till she got a green tinted liquid to spill from it into the bowl. After that she added water to the bowl and mixed it with the stick a little more before finally standing up and approaching Galvan’s face. Carefully she got his mouth opened and poured the liquid down into his mouth. It was just as she said, the medicine was extremely bitter in taste, but it would definitely do it’s intended purpose and help loosen up his body all around Once the entire thing was gone, Rita would place the bowl down next to her then head over to what was left of the bucket of water then proceed to toss it over Galvan.

“There. He should be fine in a few minutes if not seconds.”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan seemed relieved that he was going to make it. Though he was doing his best now to remember everything Rita is telling him, as he doesn’t want to end up in a situation like this again. Thankfully with his experience as a chef, he’d be able to figure out this distinction now that he actually knows about it.

He was about to speak up when the two Togekiss arrived, watching as one of them seemed to be inspecting him closely. It did make him feel a little bit awkward, but that passed soon enough. “Y-Yes, I do not mind. A bitter taste is nothing compared to my other fate...”

Though once the liquid actually hit his mouth, the full bitterness hit him like a rock type rolling down a hill. His eyes widened quite significantly, but he was doing his best to drink it all. Thankfully it was over soon, and Galvan took a few deep breaths as he felt his chest area loosen up a bit. Though as his body slowly regained muscle control, Galvan was still in an awkward state from having been paralyzed, so his muscles spaz out a little while his wings come out and start fluttering like mad. “O-Oh dear, I-I’m sorry if I have little control right now...” He apologized.

When Galvan came too, Rita immediately stopped the leech seeds and pulled them off of Dreigh while putting a feeler to the Scizor’s forehead and smiling a bit. “Okay good, he’s awake, but until we cure the poison inside of him he won’t be able to move his wings. Hello dear, you’re not doing too fine right now so try your best to reserve energy, and the birdie you’re talking about was Tookie, she’s fine, she’s fetching some things for you right now as we speak along with our leaders. Do you have a name?”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan was still a little out of it due to his situation, but he was able to respond after a short moment. “R-Right, um… I’ll have to thank Tookie.” He said, feeling rather uneasy. Mostly since he is unable to flutter his wings currently. “My name is Galvan. I-I’m a chef from Unova.” He introduced himself, giving as good a smile as he could right now.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

“Galvan, nice to meet you. I’m known as Momma Rità around here and this is my partner, Dreigh. Right now you’re very sick and if we’re not quick enough about it, you can potentially die. Don’t freak out, I have my fastest associates on gathering the materials I need right now and once I get them, I can make you a cure.” The Meganium stated as calmly as possible before standing up and then heading toward a flower patch. She reached her feelers into it and pulled out a wooden bowl and stick then returned to him.

“Tell me, did you eat anything from..here? Er-let me reiterate..something in the wild? Native to this land?”

[galvan-the-chef]

“I-It is nice to meet you Miss Rita, and you too Mister Dreigh.” Galvan then felt a little nervous at the prospect of well, dying. He had just gotten here, and already he had screwed up so badly he was very close to dying. Not exactly the best confidence booster. “W-Well, all I had since I got here were these little round berries, I-I thought they looked safe to eat...” He answered her nervously. “A-Am I in trouble, Miss Rita?”

Epilogue to chapter one - New Arrivals

@galvan-the-chef 

Tookie was now an accepted member of the SootheBell Sanctuary, she couldn’t be any more happy to say so and it was probably the best idea for her to choose to stay. She was guaranteed meals without the hassle of needing to assure no predators would be around to jump her the moment her guard went down, she was kept busy by always going back and forth between members to see if they would need help with anything and although she was aware that some were a little suspicious of her, she knew she was loved by the larger majority and was willing to go the extra mile to prove that she was as trustworthy as anyone else present in the lovely abode.

One thing that was really help boost that was her scouting expeditions along side the ‘head guard’ of the Sanctuary’s borders. She would always ask if he needed help with scouting the area to make sure nothing dangerous was coming and he would say yes which was really nice! She often found nothing, but  she always hoped that one day she could report back a threat that could get stopped early and earn her the trust and respect she felt she deserved. Another part of her was glad she didn’t see any big threats, it was good for her nerves.

She was out on another one of these scouting adventures this time around and sure enough, nothing special. Everything was quiet, all was peaceful…but at some point before she was about to report back she noticed a big red figure out in the fields. it was in the open just motionless. What on earth could that be? She would fly a little higher but the grass was too tall to make out anything for certain and trying to squint was out of the question as well. The only thing she could do was fly out a little closer, further than what she was usually allowed to go when scouting because it was said to be too dangerous to go further beyond the given route. Once close enough she gasped. It was a Scizor. He looked weak and was seemingly unconscious but at least still alive as indicated by breathing.

“OH MY GOSH!” She would exclaim before looking left and right while flapping her wings about wildly and trying to quickly think up what to do. “EXCUSE ME? Sir??? Are you there?..Are you..okay?”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan sure wasn’t accustomed to this new place at all. He was here for less than a week and already he managed to eat some very nasty toxic berries without realizing it. He’d been paralyzed from their toxins, though he was able to breathe, speak, and even let out the occasional wiggle, though it was hard to notice.

He remembered being in Unova for quite​some time, taking occasional jobs as assistant chef at some smaller restaurants. But he knew if he was going to one day have his own restaurant, or at the very least, be the head chef somewhere else, he had to see the world and had to learn other types of cooking, than his signature super spicy style of cooking.

Hearing someone calling out to him, he responded as best he could. He had been laying there for quite some time, and both hunger and fatigue had been kicking in as he tried fighting off the toxin for a bit earlier. “H-Hello?” He responded as best as he could, one eye half open. All he could make out was there was a very small bird in front of him, definitely not befitting a predator.

“I-I um…” He took a moment after saying that to collect his thoughts. Where was he exactly? Just how long was he here? And why was this little bird all alone? “I am not doing so g-good…” He then let out a groan, the hunger pangs now kicking in.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

“O-oh! Oh dear I um..” Tookie would look behind her in the direction of the Sanctuary then look back at Galvan then look off past him at the wide open field he was in. Would he be alright if she momentarily left to get someone better suited for helping? She wasn’t too sure but he would die regardless if she didn’t go to get someone who could help. She would look back at the Sanctuary one more time before finally turning back to Galvan and opening her wings to ready herself for take off. “Galvan? I’m going to be RIGHT. BACK. Try to hang in there a little longer, I know exactly who to get that can help you, okay? Okay. U-um…I’ll be right back!”

With as mighty of a flap one could produce in a body the size of Tookie’s, the little Toucannon thrust herself as high up into the sky as she could go in said flap then darted off as fast as she possibly could back toward the Sanctuary in a frantic hurry. She passed Dreigh who was resting beneath a tree Rita was nurturing and when he picked up on her wing flaps he would look up. “Back so soon Tooks?” He would ask but the Toucannon ignored him and just zoomed right by which confused him a little. She also Zoomed by Faye who was nearly toppled over by the wind that came following behind her, but soon enough she reached Lark and Swift’s tree.

“LARK! LARK! LARK COME QUICKLY!” She would cry out to him and quickly grabbing the Togekiss’ attention, but only for a moment before he would call back to her. “Tookie! TOOKIE SLOW DOWN!” But Tookie didn’t listen, she also had forgotten to stop and just continued to chant that he needed to follow her while closing in rapidly, but it wasn’t until she was only seconds away from smacking right into the tree that she realized the error of her rushing. Unfortunately for her it was too late too for she scrambled in the air to try and slow herself down as quickly as possible but still smacked straight into the tree with a loud ‘WHAP!’ causing Lark to Flinch and only slowly peek out from behind his wing.

“You okay, Tooks?” He would ask while looking over the side of the tree. Tookie was meanwhile trying to pull her beak out for it got lodged deep inside it and it took a while to get out but not too long before she was free and wobbled in the air with an unsynchronized flap pattern causing her to go about every which way “I-it’s not me that you need to worry about citizens!” She would reply back in an obvious dizzy state “It’s only your future and those who try to ruin it that you should concern yourselves with..” The Toucannon would then shake her head to dispel the dizziness then look left and right and Finally up at Lark before going into a panic again. “LARK, LARK, LARK! DANGER, GUY, FAINTED ON THE GROUND! NEEDS HELP! COME COME! COME QUICK!”

Even in the rushed manner of speaking, Lark could piece out tidbits of what she was saying and looked out toward where she was just coming from then looked down at Tookie and ave a nod. “Show me where.”

Now the two were on their Way back to Galvan, again Dreigh was passed without a word making him even more confused, but within minutes Lark was in view of Galvan and approaching on foot while lifting an eyebrow at the sight. “You said he’s conscious, Tookie?”

“Er..for the most part!”

“Hey, stranger…Why don’t we start this off with me asking…what’s a scizor doing out here in the plains? Don’t your kind reside in the forests here???”

[galvan-the-chef]

The collapsed bug now saw the small bird’s figure again, but now with a larger bird. He wasn’t about to verbally make any guesses, but he was assuming the little bird went and got a parent. It didn’t help that everything was very, very blurry.

Though the question asked of him already had the poor Scizor worried, as he was being mistaken for the Scizor found around here. Not exactly a confidence booster for the already less than okay Pokemon. “I-I am not from… Wherever this land is. I-I came here from Unova… I-I…” Seems he was starting to lose more focus, struggling to keep that one eye open. “S-So hot…” It was at this point something important dawned on him. He hadn’t been able to move his wings to stabilize his body temperature. “P-Please, help me…” He begged the larger bird in front of him, before slipping out of consciousness.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

A Unovan Sccizor? Geez, that was quite the travel for one bug alone. If not for the fact that Violet was a Sinnoan Togekiss who came all the way to Kalani Lark wouldn’t have believed it, but seeing as how that wasn’t the case, Lark would only look at Tookie and sigh out. “Go tell Rita she’s going to have a patient and send Swift so she can help move him.” “Ri-” “Caaalmly.” “Right.”

Given her orders, Tookie was off yet again at a much more controlled pace While Lark just stood beside Galvan and inspected him curiously. There were no visible wounds on him, just exhaustion and fatigue it seemed, yet he couldn’t move either from what it looked like.

With Galvan unconscious, it would seem that there would be a time limit in place less they risk the less fortunate outcome of whatever it was that affected him, but fortunately enough for Lark, Swift came flying out with the use of extremespeed at lightning fast pace. Once landed Lark would instruct to help him Carry the scizor to Rita in which she would nod and when back the two would place him down carefully in front of the meganium who would blink and put a feeler to his head.

“Is he conscious?”

“Nuh uh, passed out when I reached him.”

“Hmm..”

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan’s whole body temperature was much higher than it should be, as a Scizor’s body temperature is only regulated by fluttering their wings. Galvan remained unconscious throughout the ordeal, the only indicator of what could have happened to him, was when he was breathing, a fairly… noxious scent came from his breath. Seems he ate more than one of those berries, as he hadn’t found a reliable food source since arriving.

[soothe-bell-sanctuary-deactivat]

“… hmm… he’s burning up and he loojs tense…probably ate something he shouldn’t have and it seems to be slowly taking effect so fortunately there’s time, but here’s what I need; Lark, you fetch me water to help regulate his temperature, Swift you get me two pecha berries from the berry grove and then ask Faye or one of the members here if they can dig and pull me a root out from that tree you and your brother reside in.” Rita commanded while Lark and Swift nodded to show they understood then jetted off to fetch the things she needed, then Rita would look around the area as if looking for something, but when it looked lije she couldn’t find it, she gave up and let out a whistle high up into the sky. Nothing happened at first, but then something swooped over head then came back and did so once more and after the third time it landed. A Noivern stood tall in front of her, looking down Curiously for a moment before finally pointing at the Scizor. “This the Dinner you promised me?” He asked only to get an unamused look from the Meganium.

“No, but I do need you. I’m going to attach a leech seed onto you and channel the energy back to him while I work on an Aromatherapy, got it?”

For a moment the Noivern looked unsure and looked away, but then gave a reluctant nod in which the Meganium smiled them launched three seeds onto his back which sprouted vines that constricted him and began sapping energy and sending it straight to Galvan. While this happened, Rita began focusing her energy and soon a pleasant aroma filled the air around them all coming from her flower, hopefully this eased the effects if not by a lot then at least by enough to regain his consciousness.

[galvan-the-chef]

Galvan felt energy returning to his body, slowly but surely. He was relieved too, as he was very afraid that he was going to perish on that island. It took a minute or so before he finally started to stir, though his body was still mostly paralyzed for the time being. “Nnnhhh...” The Scizor groaned, opening his eyes slowly. The first thing he saw was the duo of a Meganium and a Pokemon he’d never seen before. “D... Did you help me?” He asked before taking a moment to recollect his thoughts, trying to recall what had happened. “A-Ah... Ah! Wh-Where is the little bird?” He asked, sounding a bit worried about Tookie.

She passed Dreigh who was resting beneath a tree Rita was nurturing and when he picked up on her wing flaps he would look up. “Back so soon Tooks?” He would ask but the Toucannon ignored him and just zoomed right by which confused him a little. She also Zoomed by Faye who was nearly toppled over by the wind that came following behind her, but soon enough she reached Lark and Swift’s tree.

“LARK! LARK! LARK COME QUICKLY!” She would cry out to him and quickly grabbing the Togekiss’ attention, but only for a moment before he would call back to her. “Tookie! TOOKIE SLOW DOWN!” But Tookie didn’t listen, she also had forgotten to stop and just continued to chant that he needed to follow her while closing in rapidly, but it wasn’t until she was only seconds away from smacking right into the tree that she realized the error of her rushing. Unfortunately for her it was too late too for she scrambled in the air to try and slow herself down as quickly as possible but still smacked straight into the tree with a loud ‘WHAP!’ causing Lark to Flinch and only slowly peek out from behind his wing.

“You okay, Tooks?” He would ask while looking over the side of the tree. Tookie was meanwhile trying to pull her beak out for it got lodged deep inside it and it took a while to get out but not too long before she was free and wobbled in the air with an unsynchronized flap pattern causing her to go about every which way “I-it’s not me that you need to worry about citizens!” She would reply back in an obvious dizzy state “It’s only your future and those who try to ruin it that you should concern yourselves with..” The Toucannon would then shake her head to dispel the dizziness then look left and right and Finally up at Lark before going into a panic again. “LARK, LARK, LARK! DANGER, GUY, FAINTED ON THE GROUND! NEEDS HELP! COME COME! COME QUICK!”

Even in the rushed manner of speaking, Lark could piece out tidbits of what she was saying and looked out toward where she was just coming from then looked down at Tookie and ave a nod. “Show me where.”

Now the two were on their Way back to Galvan, again Dreigh was passed without a word making him even more confused, but within minutes Lark was in view of Galvan and approaching on foot while lifting an eyebrow at the sight. “You said he’s conscious, Tookie?”

“Er..for the most part!”

“Hey, stranger…Why don’t we start this off with me asking…what’s a scizor doing out here in the plains? Don’t your kind reside in the forests here???”

The collapsed bug now saw the small bird's figure again, but now with a larger bird. He wasn't about to verbally make any guesses, but he was assuming the little bird went and got a parent. It didn't help that everything was very, very blurry.

Though the question asked of him already had the poor Scizor worried, as he was being mistaken for the Scizor found around here. Not exactly a confidence booster for the already less than okay Pokemon. "I-I am not from... Wherever this land is. I-I came here from Unova... I-I..." Seems he was starting to lose more focus, struggling to keep that one eye open. "S-So hot..." It was at this point something important dawned on him. He hadn't been able to move his wings to stabilize his body temperature. "P-Please, help me..." He begged the larger bird in front of him, before slipping out of consciousness.

Epilogue to chapter one - New Arrivals

@galvan-the-chef 

Tookie was now an accepted member of the SootheBell Sanctuary, she couldn’t be any more happy to say so and it was probably the best idea for her to choose to stay. She was guaranteed meals without the hassle of needing to assure no predators would be around to jump her the moment her guard went down, she was kept busy by always going back and forth between members to see if they would need help with anything and although she was aware that some were a little suspicious of her, she knew she was loved by the larger majority and was willing to go the extra mile to prove that she was as trustworthy as anyone else present in the lovely abode.

One thing that was really help boost that was her scouting expeditions along side the ‘head guard’ of the Sanctuary’s borders. She would always ask if he needed help with scouting the area to make sure nothing dangerous was coming and he would say yes which was really nice! She often found nothing, but  she always hoped that one day she could report back a threat that could get stopped early and earn her the trust and respect she felt she deserved. Another part of her was glad she didn’t see any big threats, it was good for her nerves.

She was out on another one of these scouting adventures this time around and sure enough, nothing special. Everything was quiet, all was peaceful…but at some point before she was about to report back she noticed a big red figure out in the fields. it was in the open just motionless. What on earth could that be? She would fly a little higher but the grass was too tall to make out anything for certain and trying to squint was out of the question as well. The only thing she could do was fly out a little closer, further than what she was usually allowed to go when scouting because it was said to be too dangerous to go further beyond the given route. Once close enough she gasped. It was a Scizor. He looked weak and was seemingly unconscious but at least still alive as indicated by breathing.

“OH MY GOSH!” She would exclaim before looking left and right while flapping her wings about wildly and trying to quickly think up what to do. “EXCUSE ME? Sir??? Are you there?..Are you..okay?”

Galvan sure wasn't accustomed to this new place at all. He was here for less than a week and already he managed to eat some very nasty toxic berries without realizing it. He'd been paralyzed from their toxins, though he was able to breathe, speak, and even let out the occasional wiggle, though it was hard to notice.

He remembered being in Unova for quite​some time, taking occasional jobs as assistant chef at some smaller restaurants. But he knew if he was going to one day have his own restaurant, or at the very least, be the head chef somewhere else, he had to see the world and had to learn other types of cooking, than his signature super spicy style of cooking.

Hearing someone calling out to him, he responded as best he could. He had been laying there for quite some time, and both hunger and fatigue had been kicking in as he tried fighting off the toxin for a bit earlier. "H-Hello?" He responded as best as he could, one eye half open. All he could make out was there was a very small bird in front of him, definitely not befitting a predator.

"I-I um..." He took a moment after saying that to collect his thoughts. Where was he exactly? Just how long was he here? And why was this little bird all alone? "I am not doing so g-good..." He then let out a groan, the hunger pangs now kicking in.
