The group is surrounded by high buildings, bright signs, and many people that crowded the streets. Dozens of savory aromas are detected in the air that are emitted from the several food trucks and restaurants that are around. Jake's mouth watered by the scents

"This place looks awesome. Where should we eat first? Electrica Eclairs are the signature treats in the city. We have to try it at least once!". "Remember Jake, we've got a job to do. We can go to as many places as we want to once we're done delivering the package", Drayko said.

A woman is heard screaming loudly down the street. Drayko looks behind him and gets knocked over by a rather large plump woman. The woman had blonde hair, large red lips, and a puffy pink dress. The woman begins to cry loudly and the ear piercing screams echo down the streets. "Whoa whoa whoa. What's the matter, lady?!", Violet asked, slightly annoyed. "MY POOOOOOOR TOXIE IS MISSING", the woman replied with, bawling loudly. "Toxie?! That's a common name for a Toxline. Is that your Pokémon?", Dahlia asked. The woman nodded. Drayko pulled out his Pokédex. "Let's see what the Dex has to say". The picture of the Pokémon that appeared on the Pokédex was another purple feline Pokémon.

"Toxline: the poison cat Pokémon and the evolved form of Poitten. A poison and psychic type. It has the unique ability to remove toxins from one's body via telekinesis, and absorb the toxins into its body. However, it only does it to the ones it likes. It's unique move is Toxin Drain, which removes the poison effect from the foe, but severely drains their energy in the process".

"My Toxie is OOOOOOOOUT there SOMEWHEEEERE", the woman said in grief, crying loudly. "We don't have time for this. Let's go", Violet said. "Listen lady, we're very busy at the moment. I'm sorry", Drayko said. The woman breathed in and bawled way louder than before. The screams entered the group's ears and they clenched in pain. "MAKE IT STOP!", Violet screamed. "HER VOICE HURTS MY EARS!", Dahlia said in pain. Drayko couldn't take the screaming, so he finally took action. "LADY, WE'LL LOOK FOR TOXLINE. JUST CALM DOWN". The woman calms down and wipes away her tears.

"Y-You would do that for me? Oh thank you so much! I last saw Toxie when we were at Sunflora Flora. It's a flower shop not far away from here". "Good to know, lady. Let's go guys", Drayko said. The gang walked to the flower shop the woman talked about, and in 6 minutes, they were there. The 4 walk into the shop. Sweet scents filled their nose as they walked around. Almost every inch of the place had flora and plants. A man was at the counter. It looked like he worked here.

"Sir, have you seen a Toxline around here?", Drayko asked the man. "I did see some big lady with a Toxline shop in here. Boy, was she loud. She freaked out because we ran out of petunias! Anyway, I just remember seeing the lady walk out and that's about it". Something small, gold, and shiny caught Dahlia's eye. The object was on the floor near some small Oran Berry bushes and a shelf of other items . The girl bent down and picked the object up. It was one of those bells that you find on a pet collar. "Hey, I think I found something!". The other 3 come to Dahlia to observe. "Could that be from Toxline?". The man curiously came over to the group.

"I could've sworn that Toxline had that bell. Say, looks like some of the berries are missing from the bush. Also, I checked inventory and one of the energy roots are gone! That darn Toxline is a thief!". Jake. "A thief? What kind of a Pokémon would steal Oran Berries and an energy root?". "I don't know, but I want you to find that Toxline and bring it here. A thief Pokémon or not will never go unpunished". Dahlia sighed and walked out the door. The other 3 soon followed.

"Where should we even look? Electrica City is massive! We'll be here for days! No, years!". "Quit exaggerating so much, Jake. How about we split up and meet in front of Sunflora Flora in an hour?", Drayko asked. The others agree and they split up. Jake takes flight and flys above the city, Dahlia and Violet head towards 2 different roads, and Drayko walks down a road facing him.

=45 minutes later=

As Drayko is walking farther downtown, he notices a major change in the city's atmosphere. Abandoned and highly damaged buildings appear more often, the people look dangerous and intimidating, and the street is littered with garbage. The air seems a bit smoggy as well. A faint meowing is heard from a dark alleyway along with several smaller high pitched ones. Drayko cautiously peeked in the alleyway and shocked at what he saw...

=20 minutes later=

While Violet, Dahlia, and Jake are in front of Sunflora Flora, Drayko ran towards them and panted from exhaustion. Violet did not look happy. "What took you so long? We've been waiting for you for 5 minutes". "I've found Toxline! Plus, I saw something else. Toxline isn't a thief. It's a hero".

=10 minutes later=

The group is shocked at the sight in the alleyway. A weak Liepard is lying down on the dirty concrete ground with 5 tiny Purrloins nursing on their mother. Toxline is behind the family and watches. 4 Oran Berries and half of an energy root is besides the poison cat Pokémon. "Toxline was trying to take care of Liepard. She was sick, and her kittens were hungry. I guess Toxline wanted to help them". "The kittens look pretty thin", Dahlia points out. Violet looks at the Pokémon, about to scream of joy.

"AWWWWW!!! THEY'RE SO CUTE!!!". Violet bends over and picks up a Purrloin. "Violet, no! Put it down before Liepard gets-". Liepard uses fury swipes on Violet's face. The cruel Pokémon collapses from exhaustion and Violet collapses as well. "Never mess with a Pokémon's young. It's very dangerous", Jake said.

"Oh my...what adorable little Purrloins they are". "I agree. That Liepard could be useful". 2 shady figures are behind the group. One is a man and one is a woman. Dahlia turns around. "Who are you 2?". Violet gets up on her feet and recognizes the duo immediately. "Oh no, not Ash and Ashley again!". Ashley smirks. "Is this a new recruit for your loser gang? What are you doing with these 3, pinky?". Ashley gives Dahlia a shove.

"Leave her alone! Can't you see that we're busy?". "You are busy with OUR Pokémon! Step out of the way and let us get to those Pokémon like a good little loser. I don't feel like hurting another kid today", Ash said and takes out Houndour's pokeball. Drayko glares into Ash's eyes and takes out Whalruph's pokeball. "Whalruph, I choose you!". The bash Pokémon is sent out. "Lets light em up, Houndour!". Houndour is sent out as well and snarls.

As commanded by Drayko, Whalruph fires a water pulse directly at Houndour. "Use bite!", Ash commanded. Houndour pounced onto a Whalruph and takes a good bite. "Use karate chop!". The bash Pokémon chops the enemy Pokémon right onto the head. Houndour faints.

"Houndour, return! Do better next time you stupid little mutt!", Ash muttered into the pokeball. Ashley is no where to be seen. "Where's that girl?", asked Dahlia. Ashley is faintly seen running out the alleyway. Drayko looks at Liepard and notices one of the Purrloins are gone. "She took one of them!", Drayko exclaimed. Toxline hissed at the direction Ashley ran and dashed at her. Toxline used quick attack and knocked Ashley off her feet. Purrloin is thrown up in the air as a result.

There was no impact sound. In fact, there was no sound at all. Then, a familiar ear-piercing scream is heard as a large woman wearing a pink dress reveals herself. The woman is holding the kitten. "OOOOOOOHHHHH MY TOXIE! I FINALLY FOUND MY SWEET BABY!". "It's that screaming lady!", Violet said happily. Jake turns around and sees no trace of Ash. The Liepard and her kittens are still intact, however. "Ash is gone!", Jake said, but the others did not acknowledge the Draconian.

"It looks like you've finally found your Pokémon. Are you happy now?", Violet asked. The woman nodded and turned around. "A woman with dark clothing had Purrloin and threw it, but thank GOOOOOOOOODNESS I caught it just in time! But...where is she?". There is no trace of Ashley either. They either ran away or used their teleportation devices. "It doesn't matter anymore. I'm glad it's finally over with", Violet said and sighs. "May I ask what happened here?"

=2 minutes later=

Drayko explained everything. "OOOOH MY GOODNESS! I never knew my POOOOOOOOKÉMON had such a kind heart!", the woman said. "But what should we do with the Liepard and Purrloins?", Dahlia asked. "Don't worry about it at all! The cities police will be more than happy to take care of the situation. I'm so happy my beautiful Toxie is back safe and sound!". The group smiles.

"Th-This beautiful reunion...it makes me want to cry again!!!".

"NO!!!". The group runs off, getting father away from the woman...
