The same old nightmare again. A gentle hand drifted across her cheek with a shiny wristwatch. A panicked scream from the front room. Her own little arms clung fitfully to a cotton-candy-colored Buneary plush. Then, it got really loud. Something fell. Her vision went black. “!?” Harper jumped awake from the nightmare, her heart pounding in her chest. [break][break]
Immediately, a hand went up to the kitten curled around her neck, anxious someone had tried to run off with him. Finding he was still there, she quickly threw her legs off her hammock. A pair of shorts was pulled over her undies as she threw on the nearest t-shirt—a staff extra from her go-to restaurant bolt-hole. Even if it was super early for her, Harper knew better than to try and go to sleep. Now dressed, the pink-haired girl clambered out the window and down to the ground. [break][break]
After a few moments of wandering—a Sprigatito at her side and a Castform at her shoulder—a shout caught the thief’s ears. It sounded like a lady! A little kid, even! “C’mon!” She shouted at her tiny menagerie, bounding confidently through familiar alleyways. Before long, she came upon a scene. A group of three punks gathered around somebody with lollipop hair. It definitely wasn't a fair fight. But none of the punks had Pokemon. [break][break]
Which Harper knew all about. It was hard not to get beat up when you were an orphaned kid with a cat for a dad and a bunch of desperate people for friends. But this girl didn’t look like a gutter rat! She had a cute outfit! [break][break]
A Pokeball dropped to her feet. From it, a giant hammer and its teeny-tiny wielder emerged. “Tink! Get 'em out of here!” Then, a word of caution. “Just don’t break nothing.” After all, if they were with a gang, hurting them was asking for it. With a vicious grin, the Tinkaton vanished in a ball of green. Then, it reappeared between the punks and their victim, its hammer raised high. [break][break]
THUNK! The metal weapon clanked heavily to the concrete as the Tinkaton bared its teeth. “TON!” It rushed them. And, like Bolthund at the start of the race, the kids raced off. Loving stuff like this, the rabble-rousing fairy-type followed. [break][break]
Once they were gone, Harper dropped from her rooftop perch to land beside the bruised girl. [break][break]
“You all right?” The teenager queried, offering a hand. “They didn’t do anything pervy did they?”
