He would have never thought he’d have that kind of problems in an oh so called haunted forest, at least not with the Old Chateau driving away the less brave visitors Eterna could have. It had been years since he saw hunting traps like those, he himself had made sure that any hunter didn’t approach Viridian again, unless, as Agatha said, it was their spirits the ones who returned.
Yet a couple of days ago, Gabite had noticed one of those horrible claws in the grass, and after looking everywhere, between him, Aerodactyl and Dragonite, they ended up finding five of them, luckily before any Pokémon fell on them. He knew how deathly those things could be. Who in their sanity would put them in a forest, it escaped him, but not before setting fire to his rage. He was really trying to believe there was a little hope, but in moments like those, he was completely sure that if he found the hunter, he would go mad.
Probably the reason for which he hadn’t looked for them.
He had made sure to let Dragonite burn those damn things, and warned all the Pokémon he found in Eterna about the hunter threatening the peace in their forest. And he hoped all of them would be aware of it before it was too late, since after all, and even with little fights or rivalities, those Pokémon knew to take care of each other.
But as he feared, one of them fell. As soon as the wild Pokémon saw the Murkrow, a bunch of them started looking for Lance, and soon he had some Bunearies, two Dustox and a Beautifly surrounding him and pleading for help.
Needless to say that as soon as he heared the first words, he blasted running between the trees, following the direction the Pokémon told him. It took him less than a minute. But he wasn’t there anymore, nothing but the broken trap and blood-stained grass.
“A woman freed him! She’s run towards the exit!”
He ran as fast as he could, feeling the lack of oxygen stinging in his lungs to the point he felt like choking. He hadn’t run like that for months, maybe more than a year already, and while the pure air of the forest helped, his asthma wouldn’t go away that easily.
“Stop!! Stop right there…!!” He shouted with the few air he had left when he saw her. He grabbed her arm, only then recognizing her as the same woman he’d met in Canalave, with the same Garchomp who already wanted to kill him once. Hell, it didn’t matter anymore. “Give… Give him to me… I’ll heal the Murkrow…” He wheezed as he tried to recover his breath.
