The smell of smoke and petrol filled the air. A Zoroark and a Houndoom were tending to four Pokémon, as their wounds went un-noticed...

Coby's world was filled with exhaustion, heat and a really bad pong in the air. There was a loud bang! And he was pulled back into his world. He noticed he was slumped against a grand oak tree, its branches looming over him as he looked up.

"Oh! You're awake!" The Houndoom beamed down upon Coby.

"Urgh... My head" Coby touched his muzzle, and instantly pulled his paw away from the almost immediate pain that jolted down his body.

"Ethan." The Zoroark called, then looked down at Apollo, "this one has concussion."

The Houndoom, whose name was Ethan, looked back towards Coby, who was now on all fours and padding towards his, now obliterated, Sky Blue Lancer. He shook his head. He could worry about car insurance later. Right now he had three friends who were probably seriously injured. Coby, being the driver, should have been the most injured, but he wasn't.

"Righty-o." Ethan said, dashing over to his car. The road where he had skidded his tyres in order to break so suddenly was now reeking with the smell of burning rubber. He came back moments later on the phone to St. Rosalina's "Yes! There has been a car crash! We have a Nidoking with concussion. Cotalb Street! Ok thank you!" he lowered the phone. "The ambulance is on their way." He smiled to the Zoroark and then back to Coby.

Coby's head was in so many places at once. He remembered laughing at Apollo, who was singing out-loud, and then the others joined in too, then screams, He swerved the car and bam! Right into a tree. He looked back up at the Zoroark and asked "What's yo-" Then he collapsed.

He awoke in a dimly lit room. Heard a soft beeping sound and he looked around. There was a bed on his right, and two beds on his left. Suddenly the doors burst open and Ethan and the Zoroark walked in, followed by an old Arcanine, glasses perched on the tip of his snout, clutching a clipboard.

"Ah you're awake it seems."The Arcanine spoke.

"Yes I am, thank you Doctor Cefai" Coby smiled "And my car? Where is it? Apollo, Archie Kyrik? Are they ok?" Coby asked, trying to keep calm and not let emotions explode within him.

"They're fine! Relax!" The Zoroark smiled and gave him a sunny look.

At that moment, a groaning sound was heard from his left. Archie was coming around.

"Where am I?" He groaned.

"The hospital" Coby got out of bed and padded over to him, smiling.

"And the others?" Archie coughed

"Coming around too I'd say." Ethan looked over at Apollo and Kyrik, who were rubbing their eyes.

"Anyways." The Zoroark spoke up. "Introduction times!" He giggled, as Doctor Cefai walked out of the ward. "My names Clancy, and that's Ethan" He beckoned towards the Houndoom who waved. "And yes, we know who you are." Clancy chortled a little. "Anyways, Doctor Cefai says you're free to go! Our car's are at the repair shop, so when you're all ready, come meet us across the road." Clancy smiled, as he and Ethan walked out of their ward, down past the lobby and to the repair shop.

"Urgh. I think I'll pass..." Archie said, falling back asleep. "You guys go on without me" He nuzzled into his hospital pillow, as Coby, Apollo and Kyrik changed from out of the hospital dresses and into some clothes.

"You sure you'll be 'orright?" Apollo asked.

"Mmm Yeah" Archie said, through closed eyes.

The repair shop was situated just across the road from the hospital, so it wasn't a long walk. Coby's dark purple SUV looked almost like it was ready to be driven again, while Clancy and Ethan were expecting the damage to their dark green Volvo.

A Mightyena approached them, oil on his fur and rag in his hand. "Hello, you must be Coby, yes?" The Mightyena asked him.

"Yeah."

"Your car is ready, so just take it whenever you need it. Youi* will pay the bills."

"Thanks"

"Anytime!"

Coby backed his car out, as they were going home, just as Ethan , knocked on his window.

"Ah, Clancy and I were wondering, if we could just follow you back to your place, well I hope you don't mind u-"

"Just follow us." Coby smiled, as Kyrik came out with an awkward look on his face.

"Coby can I talk to you privately?" Kyrik said, with a hint of worriness in his voice.

Coby stopped the engine, as Apollo grunted from his 'after-noon nap.'

"Archie's gone into a state of sleeping disorder."

"What do you mean exactly?"

"He's in a deep sleep. It's a pretty common disease, but he'll never wake up. It's pretty much like he's dead, but he's alive, you get what I'm saying?"

"Oh, so he has 'Devil's Slumber?'"

"Duh."

"Fuck... So what are they gunna do now?"

"They said wait a while, but..." Kyrik opened the door and hopped in. "Just go, and we'll talk about this over some Alpine tea."

Coby started the engine, Ethan and Clancy hot on their tale. As his house lumbered into view, he slowed down and pulled into his driveway.

Somewhere across town.

Furn tapped his foot and looked at his watch. "Where the fuck are they?" He growled.

A female Espeon nuzzled him. "They'll be here soon love." she said, reaching into a bag, and pulling out a packet of Weed. She inhaled it from a pipe like object, and then let the smoke escape from her lips.

"Gimmee some of that whore!" Furn snatched the Weed out of her paws, but as soon as he did so about four tall, muscular Pokémon came into the alleyway they were hiding out in.
