Pokemon: BigRai's Story by BigRai Chapter 2: Freedom Lost <>: Pokemon speach Rae: I thought you said you knew the way!? Inferno: I do! Look its right over the next hill. Rai held on to Inferno's neck as she flew over a dense forest. They landed and surveyed their surroundings. Rai: Are you sure this is the place? Inderno: Look the Toros said the place was a few miles east. Rai: I hope your right. The two walked down a worn path until they saw some tents. Rai: Humans! Maybe they'll be able to help us out. Rai ran to one of the tents and knocked on the screen. A young woman came out and greeted him. Rai: Hello my mate and me are looking of a place to stay here. We are new to this land so we don't know the area. Woman: Well I'm sorry but there are no hotels around here but you are welcome to stay with me for the time being. My name is Kate. Rai: I am Rai and the big lizard over there is my mate Inferno. Inferno: Kate: That is your mate? Fascinating let me get a picture of this. Kate introduced them to her brother Jeramy and told them that they had stumbled into her private ranch. At dinner they all sat down and ate Toros burgers and fries. Rai:...and we wanted to see if I had a big enough fan base to tour here. Kate: Well, I'm sorry but you wouldn't get that chance. Inferno: (Rai translated for them) Jeramy: Afraid so. No that you two are here your in the same boat. Kate: Yes I would advise that you not leave or you'll be captured. Inferno: Rai: I know. No offence Kate but... Kate: No need I understand completely. I'll do my best to get you back to Orange, but it may take a while. Till then this will have to be your home. Jeramy: We have some free rooms in the house. We only come out here to study the other pokemon on the ranch. Inferno: Kate: I am. You two intrigue me a lot. How did you find each other? Rai: It's a long story, we'll tell you later. In the meantime we thank you for your offer and we accept. Well do any thing that needs to be done around the place just tell us. Kate: You are welcome. All that I have is yours, if you need any thing just tell me and I try to get it. Months passed and still nothing. Inferno and Rai got used to Kate's home but still wanted to leave as soon as possible. Many more monsters seeking refuge started to come to the ranch and Kate welcomed them all. That's when the trouble started. Rai came in after some hunting to see Kate pacing with a letter in hand. Rai: What's wrong? Kate said nothing. She hanged it to him to read. Rai's eyes widened as he read. When he finished he looked up at her with terrified eyes. Rai: When will they be here? Kate: I don't know they could raid at any time. Rai: I can't believe this. Why can't they just leave us alone? Kate: I'm sorry I don't know what to do. Rai: It's not your fault. You have a kind heart, they are the real monsters. Kate: It's best if you just leave and go out on your own. I'm sorry. Where's Inferno? Rai: She, Jeramy, and some others went to... Just then they heard a scream from outside. Kate: Jeramy! They ran out of the house and toward the sounds of battle. Rai hated to leave Kate behind but he had to save Inferno. Using agility he bolted to the fight only to see Jeramy on the ground bleeding. Rai: Jeramy! Where's inferno and the others!? Jeramy: Men...green fatigues...all monsters captured...sorry couldn't stop them... Then he blacked out. Kate ran up to her brother and Rai who was now crying uncontrollably. Rai: Gone she's gone. Nooooo! Inferno! Kate scooped up her brother and broke into tears. Kate: [Bastards! You'll pay for this I promise.]
