After an afternoon full of laughter and games, the little 6 Pokémon were playing with their "mother" Purple, while Orange was chatting with Blue and Green, but suddenly, Blue stood up

[Blue]: Oh, I forgot to bring something for all of us today, yes I am forgetful! Wait for me here, friends, I'll be right back! —Blue said, standing up from his place and leaving the place to look for something or something like that, I don't know.—

Green, knowing that Blue was leaving, thanks to the fact that he could hear his footsteps. He also stood up, and although he was blind, he followed him.

[Green]: Wait for me Blue, I want to accompany you because otherwise you could surely get hurt see you later, Orange and Purpleeeeeee! —said Green, running at full speed after Blue.—

Laughing at seeing this situation Of their Friends, Blue ando Green, Orange and Purple greeted Blue and Green as the two of them left the place.

[Purple]: See you, Blue and Green, come back soon and so Blue shows us what he has to show us! —Purple exclaimed, waving her long, skinny right arm.—

[Sprigatito]: Yes, goodbye unclr Blue and uncle Green! Don't take too long to come back! —Greeted the Grass Type cat next to her "mother."—

However, when the 8 were alone and Blue ando Green they left, both Orange and Purple felt an unexpected change in the atmosphere where they were.

[Orange]: Uh, hey, Purple, is this my idea or do I feel like there's another presence here apart from us and also from our children? —Orange whispered in Purple's ear, who was a little nervous.—

[Purple]: Yes, but I feel like it looks familiar. —She responded, while she lovingly hugged her "babies", who were a little nervous.— Don't worry, my babies, everything will be fine, Mommy Purple and Daddy Orange won't let anyone hurt them, I don't want them to get hurt. So don't separate and stay on our sides, okay?

A presence, unknown but eerily familiar to Purple and Orange, hung in the air. The baby Pokémon felt it too and their playful laughter stopped abruptly. Orange and Purple exchanged a few glances of complicity, an unexpected astonishment was shared between them and also between Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly.

The tranquility of the forest was completely broken by the arrival of a mysterious figure with an aura of authority. The human appearance of him, masked with the tenderness of a Lookie's mask. His name? His name was Red and it belied a keen intelligence and an unknown purpose for now. Orange and Purple had encountered Red before, the one responsible for transforming them and also Blue and Green into Rainbow Friends, the monsters they now are.

[Orange]: Red..... —He said seriously to stop and stare.— What the hell are you doing here, shouldn't you be in your fucking laboratory doing strange experiments or something like that? —He said while raising a frowning eyebrow.—

[Purple]: Orange! Language! There are children! —The purple Rainbow Friend shouted at him, annoyed when she heard Orange swear.—

[Orange]: Sorry, Purple. —Orange said a little embarrassed towards his best friend but he stared at Red.—

The little baby Pokemon were confused about what was going on and who this Red guy was, since they had never seen him or at least heard their "parents" or "uncles" talk about him, so Grookey broke the silence.

[Grookey]: Mommy? Daddy?............ Do you... know him? Can you tell us about who it is?  —Grookey asked curiously, while he looked at his "mother."—

[Purple]: Well, My little Grookey, of course we know him, and very well...... But don't trust him, believe me, I'm telling you from my own experience........  —She said with a somewhat sinister tone of voice, but she only focused on looking at Red.—

At that, Red let out a laugh seeing Purple talking to Grookey and finally decided to speak, his voice was somewhere between serious and sinister.

[Red]: Oh, Orange and Purple, it seems that you have decided to take in these little Pokémon as your pets, and you, Purple, have a big weakness for pets, because you consider them super adorable, especially kittens and puppies. Yea, that's why you will die. —Red said with a cold and serious expression—

[Purple]: They are not our pets not at all, Red, they are our children, and also our babies. —Purple would say, while she stopped hugging Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly.— And besides, what are you doing here and not in your laboratory?

[Orange]: Yes, but leaving that aside, what do you want now from us, Red? What, do an experiment on us and turn us into Pokémon or what the hell? —Orange ask sarcastically, but then he growl at him.  growled towards Red, showing his sharp fangs.—

Red, just ignored Orange's angry and sarcastic question, his gaze was fixed on Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly, since he was aware that these 6 Pokémon seemed to be. . . . specials. I mean, for example, normal Scorbunny don't have gray spots like the Scorbunny that was here, nor do Grookey have 6 leaves on their head, they only have 2, and the list could go on and on, But apart from that, he was also aware that Pokémon were extremely fascinating creatures.

[Red]: You know? Pokémon are extremely interesting and fascinating creatures, just imagine everything we could do with them and also the possibilities, of course, only if we use them correctly. We could win millions! No........ Billions! —Red said, while his eyes made money signs.— We could make Hemlock Woods come out of oblivion, and thus finally show them that Hemlock Woods come out of oblivion, and thus finally show them that Hemlock Woods is better than Odd World. —He expressed while looking greedily at Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly.— To do so, we would have to use these baby Pokemon to receive people's affection, although well, we would have to give Sobble and Quaxly some Everstone because, well. . . . Their final evolutions are quite ugly, but ignoring that, we couldn't make billionaires, you understand? Billionaires!

Purple stepped forward, protecting her "children", who were obviously disturbed upon hearing what Red wanted to do with them. She was not going to allow Red to make her "babies" suffer nothing, even though they were not her blood, she loved and wanted  them as much as if they were hers.

[Purple]: That's pretty cruel, Red! We will not let you use our children for whatever you are planning just to get money, you could have made me, Orange, Blue and Aldo Green suffer, but you could never touch a finger of our babies! You know why? Because they are our children, not tools for your dirty, damned benefits. —Purple said angry and upset with Red, she didn't want him to take her "babies" away from her or Orange.—

Red, upon hearing Purple's words and his gesture of wanting to protect Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly, instead of being intimidated by her, he simply began to laugh. A sinister undertone beneath his seemingly kind and friendly demeanor towards her.

[Red]: What are their children, you say? But they're supposed to be monsters! Monsters have no family or children! They have purposes! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! —Red laughed at Purple and also at Orange, proving that she was extremely brave before them.- That silly feeling of maternal instincts is what will stop You, stupid Rainbow Friends, Hemlock Woods could go back to being like before. Come on, think about it; a lot of fame, popularity, although well, we would be more popular if we had a Pikachu, but it doesn't matter, an escape from oblivion, and above all, a lot of money......

Orange's eyes narrowed in annoyance, and he growled again at Red, the only thing he could think of was if they were going to let Red use Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly for their dirty benefits was: sadness, depression and no fun, or at least from Orange and Purple's point of view, because since Grookey Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly entered their lives, they had made them happy after a long time, because they obviously weren't happy being Rainbow Friends.

[Orange]: We don't need your silly vision of glory Red, we have already found something more precious here and they are our children, and you have no right to touch them. —Orange growled towards Red, was angry because Red only wanted to use his "children" to make money and make Hemlock Woods escape from oblivion, but he also petted Sobble, who was quite scared by what was happening right now.—

Unfazed even the slightest bit by Orange and Purple's words and gestures, Red made a quick move to take the 6 little Pokémon into his arms, but their small cries of fear echoed all over the place and the 6 little ones hid behind Purple, seeking protection from their "mother".

[Grookey]: No! No! No! We don't want to go with you! —Grookey shouted, shaking his paws quite nervously.—

[Scorbunny]: I don't want to go with yoooou! —Scorbunny cried, quite scared.—

[Sobble]: Mommy, help us! —The young Sobble exclaimed, while she cried softly.—

[Sprigatito]: Stay away from us, we don't want to go with you! —Sprigatito screamed, trembling with fear while her four little legs trembled.—

[Fuecoco]: Mommy, I want mommy and not to Mr. Ugly! —Fuecoco exclaimed.—

[Quaxly]: Don't take us away from mom and dad, please! —Quaxly exclaimed, totally scared and desperate to try to hide from Red.—

Orange, seeing that Red had scared his children in a very ugly way, and even made Scorbunny and Sobble start to cry, was surprised and panting, but then he looked at Red with murderous eyes, and being very angry, got into position to attack him.

[Orange]: Keep yourself and your dirty hands away from them! —Orange bellowed with fury but determination, his gentle demeanor towards the babies and his friends, especially Purple, was replaced by a fierce sense of protection.—

Just like that, Orange pounced on Red and began biting them with his sharp fangs and scratching him with his claws.

[Orange]: Stay away from us Red, I won't let you hurt me or my children, But don't you dare do anything to Purple ethier, if you dare to try to hurt them again! You'll have to walk over my dead body to do it! —Orange exclaims bravely as he faces Red to protect both his children and his best friend, as any father should do.—

[Red]: You're totally deluded, Orange, you don't know how we could take advantage of these stupid and very valuable Pokemon to become very, very, very famous! You don't know what you're missing! —Red shouted, while he tried to dodge Orange's attacks, but it was impossible. He was quite agile and fast, especially when he attacked someone, and that meant that Red couldn't dodge him so easily.—

Red, taken aback by Orange's sudden aggression, shook Orange off of him and ran away, before leaving. He stopped momentarily, and glared at Orange and Purple with a withering look at them.

[Red]: It's not over here, Orange and Purple! I swear to you that I will come back sooner or later, and show you the opportunity that both of you and Blue and Green have missed for not accepting having used those Pokémon to make Hemlock Woods like before! —He swear with fury and also with disdain, It was clear that he could not meet his goal at all, thanks to Orange and also Purple.—

With that ominous warning from him, Red disappeared into the shadows of the place, leaving Orange and Purple with a lingering sense of unease, but at least, for now, Red was gone, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly They snuggled up to their "mom" in search of warmth after the big scare they had received thanks to Red and his intentions with them, which were as very, very sinister.

[Purple]: Now, now, now, now it's over, my babies, do you see it? We told you, Mommy Purple and Daddy Orange won't let anyone take you away from us. You are part of our family, and that is the only thing of what matters to us: your well-being and also your health. —Purple said with affection towards her "babies" and caressed them.—

[Orange]: Yes, your uncles won't let someone want to hurt you either, do you understand? Good. —Orange said gently as he calmed and caught his breath after having attacked to Red, he was tired.—

Right there, Blue and Green came finally, with the surprise Blue had been talking about: it was a big, delicious chocolate cake, decorated with fresh cherries, raspberries, and strawberries.

[Blue]: We're back, My frieeeeeeends! —Blue exclaimed with excitement, while he showed his delicious cake of chocolate, apparently it was made recently, as it looked of good quality and not rotten.—

[Green]: Sorry we were late, we couldn't find the cake, but Blue forgot that he had kept it in the kitchen refrigerator. —Said the green Rainbow Friend, something embarrassing and also his cheeks laughing pink, showing the shame he had at that moment.—

[Blue]: Hehe, yes, what a head of mine....... Hey, and by the way, have we missed something? —Blue asked in an extroverted tone, typical of him.—

[Green]: Yes, yes, yes, what did we miss? —Green asked eagerly, wanting to know what had happened while he and Blue were looking for the chocolate cake.—

Orange and Purple stared at each other and laughed softly while the baby Pokémon looked attentively at the chocolate cake as it looked quite tasty, but They were totally confused by Orange and Purple's laughter, then it was Orange who finally broke the silence.

[Orange]: They didn't miss anything, now, we ignore that. I just want to try that delicious chocolate cake you brought, Blue. —He said with his characteristic hungry tone while her mouth became water upon seeing the delicious chocolate cake that Blue was carrying in hus hands.—

*Change of scene*

The Rainbow Friends and the 6 little Pokémon were seen having a kind of picnic, while everyone was enjoying the chocolate cake that Blue had brought, and in the middle of their picnic. Orange looked at the chocolate cake and pounced on it and ate what was left of the cake. When he did it, he was lying on the ground, with a satisfied face and with a claw on his belly that was very, very big from having eaten the cake of chocolate.

At that, Orange let out a big burp Because maybe it wasn't a good idea to eat all the rest of that big chocolate cake, and everyone was surprised to hear it, even the 6 little Pokémon.

[Purple]: Good advantage Orange, it sure was delicious, No? —Purple said, who laughed softly and continued enjoying her slice of cake.—

Orange smiled at her skinny best friend's words and laughed, seeing that he was well filled, as did everyone else.

And so, in the heart of Hemlock Woods, a silent vow was made: to protect, cherish, and defy any threat to the new family of Orange and Purple.
