Oshawotts POV:

I woke up hungry. AGAIN. I am not sure how much longer I can keep this up. I hate lying to everyone. But I can't stop. I don't want anyone, or anything to be harmed because of Emolga.

Anyway I was going to battle Snivy that day. So I started to eat my breakfast. Of course, Emolga took it from me, so I just drew in the dirt with a stick. Soon, it was time to battle. 

Well, here goes nothing. I thought to myself as a faced Snivy. She was so pretty in the sunlight. No! Focus, Oshawott! I scolded myself. 

"Snivy, use leaf storm! Oshawott, use hydro pump!" Ash shouted from the center of the 'field'. Snivy and I both did as he commanded But Snivy's leaf storm overpowered my hydro pump and caused me some damage.

"Oshawott, use aqua jet. Snivy, use erm...." Ash thought for a second, "leaf storm again!" I swear, Ash is so dense sometimes. Anyways, my aqua jet overpowered her leaf storm, causing her a little damage.

"Snivy, use Leaf Blade, and Oshawott, use Razor Shell!" Ash called. Shoot. I thought to myself. I didn't have my scalchop, so I couldn't use razor shell. So, I had no choice but to take the attack head on. Literally. I was stupid enough to run at it head first. I grit my teeth to avoid crying out as  the leaf blade slashed at my head. A wobbled a little, as I looked at Ash. I couldn't hear what he was saying above the ringing of my ears. He looked oblivious. A looked over at Snivy, who looked concerned. Very concerned. I felt ridiculously dizzy at this point, but continued to hold out. Ash shouted something and Snivy reluctantly powered up a solar beam and fired it. I couldn't hear what Ash told me to do! I tried to dodge, but was too slow. The solar beam hit me... and I fainted.

Snivy POV:

"Oshawott!" Ash exclaimed, rushing over to the water type. I watched in stunned silence. Oshawott never lost to me that quickly. He never failed to use razor shell either. This was very peculiar. I knew he was weakened from not eating, but why wouldn't he stop giving his food to Emolga? 

I walked up to him, staring at him for a moment. Before I noticed something. "Wait... where is his scalcop?" I asked under my breath, feeling ridiculously stupid for not noticing it's absence.  No wonder he lost so easily. I thought to myself. I walked over to Tepig, who was conversing with Pikachu. I sat down next to Tepig, lost in thought. Pikachu raised an eyebrow.

"Done with your battle already?" He asked, seeming impressed. I nodded half heartedly.

"Yeah.... Oshawott fainted. I noticed something though."

Tepig looked at me curiously. "What did you notice?"

"Oshawott... his scalchop is missing." This caught their attention.

"How? That's his prized possession. He never take it off." Pikachu said in disbelief.

"I know, which is why this is so concerning." I responded. Tepig thought for a moment. 

"Should we ask him where his Scalchop is?" The fire type asked, and I nodded. 

"We should-" I was cut off by Pikachu.

"He might not be able to tell us where it is." He said, which made sense. 

"True, if he lost it, then he wouldn't know, and if someone had i-" My eyes widened as one pokemon came to my mind.

"Emolga." We all said in unison.

"THAT LITTLE BIT-" I was cut off by Pikachu putting his hand over my mouth. I glared at him, removing his hand with one of my vines.

"First off, don't say that word, Axew and Scraggy are nearby." He said, crossing his arms. "Second, though it would make sense, we have to make sure we are right before confronting her.

I sighed in annoyance, knowing he was right, "Fine, once oshawott wakes up, we will ask him." 

Tepig smiled. "Don't worry! We will help you find your boyfriend's Scalchop!" He said before dashing off, leaving me with a bright red face. 

"TEPIG HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
