Not too shortly after venturing on the path, a loud hiss erupts from behind a bush. Kona froze, ears forward and tail stopped. Azula let out a low growl, head lower as she already knew what it was. “Alright Kona,” the man mumbled as the bush before them shifted again, “As soon as the pokemon comes out, attack it with one of your moves.” The puppy barked, paws planted firmly on the ground. His full focus was on the bush as it moved again. And before the puppy was truly ready, a kitten popped out and hisses nastily at the growlithe.

At first, the puppy was shocked. Eyes widen and ears folded back slightly. It scorched at the air, back arched and all. But when Kona had a moment to take it on, he barked with enthusiasm and tail wagged so fast. He lost his concentration, darting towards the litten intending to play with the feline. However as he darted closer, the cat didn’t want to play. It hissed even louder, swiping at his face. It’s claws scrapped his nose. Kona back away shocked. He blinked, tail tugged between his legs and ear fell. He whispered as the small scratch began to accumulate a red substance on the surface. Just one droplet. In that moment, his adoptive mother took over.

Azula let out a loud and merciless snarl. Ebony lips peeled back as she towered over the little kitty, saliva started to drip from her muzzle. The litten hissed but was so memorized by her for a moment, it didn’t move. And when Azula was close enough, her muzzle snapped shut just inches away from the feline cat. The cat looked as though it was going to faint from just being so scared. But soon, scurried away out of fear. The man sighed as the puppy darted to him and pawed at his leg with big puppy eyes, whimpering franticly. “You are alright,” Maverick mumbled, a hint of a chuckle as he brushed his nose, “See… you are okay.” The puppy let out another whine but accepted it, gaze shifted to the houndoom who marched proudly back to her master’s side. Mav rolled his eyes. “You know,” the man growled at her as he pushed forward, “A battle is going to hurt much more than that and if you baby him, he’s not going to learn to cope.”

With the litten out of the way, Maverick and his two canine’s continued to venture further onto the beaten path of route 111. But yet again, it didn’t take long for another pokemon appeared. But this time, it wasn’t a fire type. Instead, the alolan geodude rolled from its resting place. Arms flexed as it eyed the trainer and the two creature. Kona the growlithe barked, playfully bowing with his tail wagging. The geodude flexed his arms, but turned the other way and fled the scene without another moment.

Kona stood and let out a pout whine. His gaze flickered back to his trainer, sadness in his eyes. Maverick shrugged. “I guess it doesn’t care about us,” the man told the little puppy as he trotted forward to find another pokemon, “It’s alright. Maybe next time.” He barked, lifted his nose to the air to sample for smells. He chuckled, already learning to track like Azula. “Just be careful Kona,” the man hollered as the puppy darted after another wild pokemon, “Don’t go to far.” It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the creature, just didn’t want anything bad to happen.

It wasn’t that Maverick thought that his growlithe was weak. He was just, young and little. Kona had a lot to learn before it was ready to truly battle. But that didn’t stop the little growlithe from darting so far away, he soon became a speck in Maverick’s line of sight. He grumbled to himself. “Kona! Come back! I can barely see you!” The man hollered out to his puppy, concern crossed his expression. “Hey Kona!” The puppy either couldn’t hear him or was ignoring him. Either way, the fire pup continue to run further and further away. This made him uncomfortable. But just as the man turned to ask Azula to go get him, a loud sharp whimper could be heard in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, warm orbs turned to see where his orange speck was.

“Azula go-“ before he could even finish his sentence, the houndoom was off to investigate what happen. Sighing, the man went from a casually walk to a light sprint. And in that matter of a few minutes, Azula was by the growlithe side. She whined, nose pushed against Kona’s unmoving body. The pup whimpered in return, head lifted to lick the houndoom’s muzzle. A wave of relief washed over both her and her trainer when he finally got to them. He huffed and puffed, already out of shape it seemed. He bent over, hands rested on his knees as he tried to catch his breath. But before he could asked what happened or try to investigate, something attack them.

Maverick shielded his face as star like objects hit the ground around them. Dirt and dust clouded their vision as Azula snarled ferociously, body stiffened as she faced the direction the attack came from. Maverick snatched the growlithe off the ground, cradling the pup in his arms. Kona whined, snuggling against his chest. “Azula,” the man growled, eye squinted as he tried to find out what it was, “Sludge bomb.” The canine didn’t waist anytime. Taking a deep breath, the toxic substance soon erupted from her parted muzzle and disappeared into the dust cloud. And at first, nothing appeared to happen. Both Maverick and Azula were on high alert, watching and waiting for something. But when the dirt and dust settled, a cyndaquil laid on the ground.

“What the?” The man mumbled, moving towards the wild pokemon, “Is that what knocked out Kona?” The man tapped the creature with his foot. It moved, a purple hue over it’s nose indicated it was poisoned. “Whoops.” Sighing, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out the common two toned ball. He tossed it, attempting to catch the creature in a ball. His gaze flickered to Azula who seemed unhappy he was capturing the creature. “I’m not going to leave it here to die. I’ll take them both to the pokemon center.” A snort retort came from her before she nudged the poor growlithe in his arms. He pawed at her face, a tired whimper come from him. “He’s alright,” he reassured her, patting her head skull, “He’s better than that cyndaquil.” She growled. “What?” She wasn’t happy. Figures.
