Through the woods we ran Deep into the mountain sound

[attr="class","mtnsndb"]hand to his pocket finds a pack of cigarette. cigarette to his mouth finds bliss. he's in heaven for seconds as he enjoys the taste of nicotine. it acts as a stimulant to help calm his frustrations, though only temporarily, silencing them enough to a state of dormancy. but like a creature fearing death backed into a corner, it will fight back.[break][break]

and it starts its fight with the appearance of a raticate. he pays it no mind but maybe he should've, as the normal-type swiftly scatters along the ground to try a HYPER FANG on silas' leg. one swift sidestep avoids its annoying little fangs as he pulls back his leg only to swing it forward, punting the raticate by its stomach to send it up in the air for moments.[break][break]

his hand moves quick to find gamma's pokeball, calling him out. "take care of that little shit." his instructions are heard but ignored as gamma jumps and clings on to silas' pants. with swift, rodent-like movements, he climbs up and riffles through silas' jacket before popping out from underneath, behind his neck. [break][break]

"get the fuck off of me."[break][break]

but gamma doesn't listen, he never listens. he stays perched atop silas' shoulders, unwilling to even move. every attempt ends with gamma crawling around, squirming out of his grasps. so, he gives up.[break][break]

with a resigned sigh, he pulls out another pokeball and calls out his feraligatr. "alpha, kill." his order's simple, and alpha understands as much. raticate's SUCKER PUNCH is negated by alpha's SUPERPOWER strength. one punch slams it into the ground, cracking the bare surface. a SCREECH, then an AQUA TAIL. ruthless in his movements, alpha doesn't let the raticate recover. he doesn't even let it attempt to stand.[break][break]

snarling his teeth, alpha snaps his ICE FANGs down, locking his jaws shut with a CRUNCH. his fangs sink into the raticate's flesh, drawing blood. but it's not enough, not yet, not when it's still breathing. alpha's CRUNCH is amplified with his SUPERPOWER. the raticate squirms, but soon goes lifeless as alpha grabs it by both ends and rips it in half.[break][break]

blood pours to the floor.

[attr="class","mtnsndb"]alpha's hands are bloodied, his claws drenched in maroon that slowly drips onto the stone pavement, rolling off the sharp of his claws. but he feels nothing. silas feels nothing. the two are alike in that regard. cold eyes stare down at the bloody remains of the once-raticate. he lacks remorse, not feeling any semblance of sorrow or guilt in his actions. all he has is numbness as he shrugs off his victory. alpha does the same.[break][break]

"good."[break][break] compliments don't come often but when they do, they're sincere. alpha recognizes as much. the feraligatr takes it in and snarls his teeth to show his affirmation, followed by a nod of his head to express gratitude.[break][break]

next is a persian. its TAUNT catches alpha's full attention as he completely falls for it. he charges forward without a care in the world, AQUA TAIL swinging along the blood-stained pavement. it meets the tail end of persian's SLASH. the impact sends both parties backwards, separating and creating space but alpha doesn't relent. he snarls his teeth again and clamps his jaws shut, feet grinding against the ground before he charges again.[break][break]

alpha's SUPERPOWER is interrupted by a red beam of light that shoots forth and hits him. it engulfs him in his entirety and recalls him back into his pokeball. "your turn, punk." silas shrugs his shoulder and flings gamma off, and though unwilling, the pikachu finally concedes and sprints ahead. SPARKs surround his body as he jumps forward and clings onto the cat, zapping it. a NUZZLE paralyzes it enough to allow gamma to grab it by its neck to SLAM it into the ground.[break][break]

he's a strong pikachu. persian retaliates with a SLASH but gamma is quick to avoid it, hopping out of the way before letting SPARKs surround his body again. this time, however, the electricity is DISCHARGEd right into the body of the persian.[break][break]

it zaps. it stuns. it's out.
