With each step that both of the Pokemon took, the sounds soon echoed throughout the barren area. Everything was out of place; from the indented buildings to the craters in the ground--the town was destroyed. The dark type initially caught on as he felt a cold shiver trickle down his spine, however it was impossible for him to currently analyze the town without further investigation. He stopped for a moment to scan around, however the Jolteon hadn't quite caught on.

"Hey, short stuff! What're you doing? Do I have to come over there and drag you by your tail?" Jolty teased with a small amount of curiosity in his mind, wondering what the fuss was about. He hadn't taken the time to focus on what was under or above him--he was completely oblivious to what was around him... until Umbra opened his maw.

"It's peculiar for a town to be so quiet... but that's the least of my concern. There seems to be a bigger problem," the dark type continued on, "I don't suppose you noticed there has been some cause for the indentations in the buildings around us--have you?"

Jolty slowly gazed up, in shock by the damage done everywhere around him. To his left, a tall skyscraper just barely stood strong as the middle section caved in on itself. On his right, a smaller building had indents along the corners--deep ones along the lower half of it. The electric type looked back at Umbra with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what to make of the current state of the town.

"I think we should turn back; I don't know what could've caused thi--" Umbra explained as he was abruptly halted.

"I need to know what happened here." Jolty had a flame burning in his eye filled with determination. He wasn't about to let this mystery go unsolved, as he felt there was more to it than meets the eye. "Don't worry, I just can't leave this town till I figure out what's going on around here. We can't leave this place until we know what we're dealing with." he said, completely set on solving this predicament. The dark type sighed in response, letting out a soft smile.

"Alright, as you wish Jolty. Let's hurry along though, it'll get dark soon if we don't make some progress!" Umbra replied as he regained his composure and focused on the area ahead of him. Both of the eeveelutions scoured over the area--hoping to find any clues as to what could've caused this disaster to strike the town. The sound of their footsteps remained loud and clear as they continued on, lacking any wind as the temperature slowly dropped a few degrees. The dark type started to feel the change of weather immediately, and began to shiver. It only took a few moments for the Jolteon to hear a slight change in the Umbreon's movement.

"You alright short stuff?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah I'm f-fine. Just a little c-cold. I'll be fine though!" Umbra assured with a shakiness in his voice.

"Need to stay close? I'm sure my fur can help keep you warm!" Jolty questioned, slightly teasing.

"I'll be fine! L-Let's continue on!" Umbra quickly assured back to the electric type. Umbra couldn't help but flourish red across his face from what was said.

The silence continued on as they moved forward; it was a smaller town than what they were previously accustomed to--so they didn't have much trouble navigating around the perimeter of the area. It didn't seem as though there was much to gather, however something caught the corner of Jolty's eye.

"Hey Umbra, hurry!" he quickly said before dashing off to an unknown location. The dark type couldn't keep up with his alarming speed, so he was left stranded at his current position. Umbra carefully tried to look over in the direction that he last saw the electric type, however there was no sign of him. He could only imagine where the Jolteon ran off to.

"If I had a berry for every time Jolty dashed off like that, I'd always have a full belly." He snickered quietly to himself. While the fear of being alone in an unknown area started to slither into his mind, he knew as long as he stayed in the same area that there would be nothing to worry about. Something caught his attention as he was just about to sit down on the ground, and he took a few steps over to further investigate it.

The electric type was moving quickly, covering ground as he made his way over to where he spotted others off in the distance. He appeared to see two small Pokemon barely hanging onto a branch that was toppled over, however those Pokemon didn't seem to be on the same elevation as he got closer. Luckily for the Pokemon, they had just fallen into a crater not much lower than where the branch was. There was a Charmander, and a Mudkip--both appeared to be kids. They were knocked unconscious from the fall, but because of the short drop it wasn't enough to cause any harm. However, on the corner of Jolty's field of vision, he spotted a building which was mere seconds from collapsing right on top of them. Without any prior thought, the electric type impulsively jumped into action! He dashed through the left side onto the ledge, and immediately jumped down into the inner crater, jolting towards the two Pokemon who laid flat on the ground. He used his sheer speed to maneuver them out of danger, gently gripping onto the Pokemon with his teeth as he took them out one by one. The building already reached its limit, and toppled right onto the crater; but no harm was done to any of the Pokemon. The sheer force of the building created a huge sound wave, one that made the dark type startle and made him look back. It was far away from him, so he couldn't exactly pinpoint at what specific point the crash happened--however he knew the electric type had to be close to the area where it happened.

"Whoa, what a rush!" Jolty thought to himself, completely baffled by the current chain of events. "Oh man, that was too close for comfort!" He continued, looking over to see both Pokemon safely away from all of the hazardous areas of the town. The destruction from the building collapsing upon itself created a shockwave that spread throughout the area. Slowly but surely, the remnants of the building started to ease up as the harsh bangs came to an end. It was almost calming after that point, much like the electric type's first steps into the destroyed town.

He kept his attention onto the two small Pokemon. He could tell from their twitching eyelids that they were slowly beginning to wake up. Almost simultaneously, they regained consciousness--looking around with blurred vision to see their surroundings, almost heartbroken to learn that it wasn't just a dream. Out of the corner of their eyes, they spotted the electric type; both of them were ready to dash away, when he began to speak.

"You both seem to be alright, that's a relief!" he said cheerfully. The Charmander looked over at the Mudkip, both giving a puzzled expression. After a few moments, the water type spoke up. "Who're you?" he asked, filled with curiosity.

"I'm Jolty, just arrived here with an Umbreon not too long ago. What happened here? Something seems off about this place." He spoke back. Nothing really made sense to him at this point, but strangely he was used to it.

They both had a disheartened expression on their faces, sighing as one of them began to explain what they remember as best they could.

"Our town was full of people this morning. I-I don't know what happened... There was smoke everywhere, and all of the trainers were running with their Pokemon. We don't have trainers, and we hid the whole time. All I remember was hearing some kind of menacing cry, and finding myself and my friend having a difficult time staying awake. I don't know anything else, I-I'm sorry." The Charmander, barely able to find the correct words, looked down as he recalled everything he remembered. The electric type didn't take any time to think, and began to speak.

"Do not worry! I'll make sure Umbra and I get to the bottom of this! There's still time to spare, and I'm not going to just let something bad happen without fixing it right back up!" Jolty replied, with the same cheerful tone in his voice. This helped both of the smaller Pokemon, with a feeling of contentment from his genuine words.

"I believe you." Mudkip said with a smile. The Charmander nodded in agreement. "I know the smoke started filling the town from over there." He continued, lifting his front leg and pointing towards the north. There was a forest just outside of the town, and it looked as though the north of town leads right to it.

"Got it! I'll head there right now! But what will you two do? You said you didn't have trainers... right?" Jolty asked curiously.

"Right. We don't, but we can handle ourselves!" the Charmander assured the electric type, with his small right paw extending towards his chest--giving a determined expression. "There's a pond east from here, and we know other kids there who can take us to their place!"

The Jolteon nodded, and geared his view towards the forest. He knew something was missing, but he couldn't quite put his paw on it. Before he could think any further, he heard the dark type yell out in the distance from behind him.

"Jolty, we have a big problem! Take a look at this!"
