The door to his apartment looked the same as usual, save for the wet yellow piece of paper taped to it. In large black block letters it read, "EVICTION NOTICE". Jason looked at the paper as the rain fell over his head, dowsing himself and his Shinx in water, and sighed, hitting his head to the door. He knew it was coming, the dark haired man hadn't been able to pay rent for the last few months what with him not having a job or anything, but he didn't think it would be this soon. Jason looked down to the small pokemon at his feet and then at the door in front of him. He couldn't go in there and disappoint his pokemon, a quick touch of the pokeball dangling from his neck reminded him of the last time he had done that, and Jason walked away from the door. "Let's go... Somewhere else Vis, just for a bit." Jason mumbled as he walked through the rain, his Shinx following behind.
He was soaked by the time he made it to the gym, his hair sticking to his forehead, from either sweat or rain, as he pushed open the doors to the community center. It was about a thirty minute jog to the recreational center located north of the Lunar Park. Jason wasn't in the mood to deal with any pokemon, including his own, and needed to let out some frustration at the gym.
With Jason punching away at the large and heavy punching bags of the gym, Vis decided to investigate the grounds around the gym. A nature trail wound its way around Lunar Lake for anyone wanting to have some scenery while they jog. Or, in the Shinx's case, a place to search for some new prey.
The stench hit his sensitive nostrils first, the stench of what Vis could only assume was a Stunky. The Shinx had never seen one face to face before, but he had heard the horror stories from his fellow team mates. Stories filled with toxic gas that caused yours eyes to water, your sense of smell to wither away, and burned the lining of your nostrils. However, at this moment, all he felt was a wave of nausea. Growling at the bush where the stench was coming from, Vis readied himself for an attack.
The Shinx did make one mistake though, and it was not realizing that this pokemon could mask itself easily. Out of nowhere, a cloud of darkness and stench fell upon Vis, and his ears were mutilated by a horrendous screech. The noise did give Vis an idea of where the pokemon was, and he launched forward in the smokey cloud and wrapped his electrically charged teeth around the body of the Stunky, biting down hard, twice.
The cloud of smoke began to clear as the pokemon fainted from the attack, and a breeze whipped by, giving the Shinx a much needed breath of fresh air.
Breathe in. One, two, three. Breathe out. One, two, three. Vis repeated this process a few times as the chilly breeze the blew from over the lake brought much needed clean air to his lungs. After battling with the skunk pokemon, and nearly choking on the toxic fumes that the beast exhumed, the Shinx was glad to have a small moment of rest. What he needed now, on the other had, was to find a place to wash his mouth at. Biting into a poisonous pokemon was not the best of ideas, even if it did not poison him, it left a bad taste in his mouth.
It was a short walk to the lake, and once he was there Vis got the chance to purify his mouth and rid himself of the awful after taste of that poison pokemon. The Shinx lifted his face from the water and took in a deep breath... And caught a whiff of something nasty. A few yards away were glowing red eyes of a Gastly, which happened to be another poison type pokemon. Vis wasn't going to take any chances with this one, and leaped forward to cross the distance, and bit down with a powerful crunch on the ghost type pokemon. The dark type attack forced the Gastly to become tangible, and Vis shook the pokemon like it was a rag doll, before he spit it out in to the lake.
The electric type pokemon knew better than to stick around, seeing as that species often traveled in groups, and headed off into the woods again.
A small and adorable sneeze left the Shinx's nose as he tried desperately to get the gas from the Gastly out of his system. One poison pokemon after another, the poor little guy just had the worst luck at the moment. All he wanted to do was go out and hunt for a tasty morsel while his trainer did whatever trainers do when they go in the weird Human caves. It really got his mind racing as to what his trainer would be doing in a Human made cave as stinky as that one was. Vis was not really sure what gave off a worse odor, the cavern trainer entered or the Stunky he had battled earlier.
A low growl came from the electric type pokemon's stomach as it continued searching for some food. He hadn't had anything to eat since the morning when he went out with his trainer, and that had been hours ago. Vis was in desperate need of some tender, perfectly roasted, meat. Fortunately for him, a Mime Jr happened to cross his path. Nothing screams dinner like a weak defenseless baby pokemon. Bounding forward with the speed commonly associated with electric pokemon, Vis pounced onto the Mime Jr from behind, biting into it with electrically charged teeth. A shriek came from the psychic pokemon's mouth as the jolt went through its body. The Mime Jr put up a wall of mystical energy around it to give it a brief moment of safety. Only a moment, though, as the Shinx came crashing through, clamping down on the pokemon's neck with a mouth full of flames.
Vis sat there and ate his well deserved, and well done, meal. The fairy typing gave the meat a tenderness that the Shinx had never tasted before.
The scent of freshly cooked Mime Jr attracted more than a few pesky bug pokemon, it brought forth a whole slew of of blade wielding pokemon, Pawniard and Bisharp. Vis looked up from his deliciously cooked meal at the very threatening pokemon, then back down at the dinner he had just spent hard work and energy to cook, and made his decision. He would not let some over inflated sense of self kitchen knife make him leave his meal. Growling even more threatening than what the Bisharp was attempting to do, the cat like pokemon guarded his food. A metallic screech echoed through the air as the Shinx bit down on the nearest Pawniard, his mouth glowing with the fiery flames of hell. The steel and dark type pokemon fell to the ground, dead.
That only pissed off the others. The nearby Bisharp lunged forward, its blade glowing with dark energy as it sliced downward, attempting to kill Vis. Half a second was all the Shinx had to jump out of the way, even then he had been caught by the tail end of the attack. And there were still more surrounding him. He was going to take more out before he went down, that much he knew. Running underneath the legs of a different Bisharp than the one that had attacked him earlier, Vis bit down into the legs of the one who had sliced him, his fangs ablaze. That attacked downed the pokemon, and Vis leaped onto its face, mauling it with his fiery fangs.
The others were on him in a heartbeat. It would take a miracle to save the small electric type. Or a two headed dragon. Nyx, Jason's Zweilous, was out hunting, as she did every night. The woods surrounding Lunar Lake were not accustomed to a predator such as she, and the dragoness soon topped the food web as their dark queen. Now, however, it seemed one of her teammates was in trouble. One of the newer additions to her clan, Nyx had seen the small thunder kitten enter her domain, but took no note of it; Trainer often allowed her fellow clansmen to hunt in the woods recently. It used to be only her and the older members were allowed out to hunt, but Trainer seemed to be lacking the ability to bring food back to the clan, so he let the others out to feast.
This instance, though, it appeared the Shinx would become part of the feast. Nyx would not let that happen to her clansmen, especially one so young. With a mighty roar she appeared from the shadows and blasted the pokemon near the Shinx with draconic energy, sending two of them into kingdom come. That gave Vis the opportunity to jump into action, latching himself onto the nearest blade pokemon by his flaming fangs. While the Shinx dealt with one of the steel and dark type pokemon, Nyx rushed into a Bisharp, her body glowing with draconic energy, and then blasted it with more of the same energy from her mouth.
That left three Bisharp, two thirds of their members already dead. That was more than enough to have them running away, blades scraping against trees as they did so.
