            Red snarled as she stared at the Yellow, edging away and favoring her left leg. A large gash still dripped blood onto the grass, staining it red.

            The Yellow showed sharp teeth and lunged forwards again.

            Her Poliwhirl exploded out of the nearby pond, freezing the Yellow solid with an Ice Beam, but the Yellow’s Pikachu fried him a second later. Red quickly called Poliwhirl back, and ran.

            She did not realize that she had crossed out of her family’s territory until she noticed the snarling pair of Brunos. Though they were normally calm, but maybe…

            Something was wrong here.

 

            The Brunos released their Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, and Red tried to run, knowing that she could not defeat them alone…

            The sudden shrill cry from above caught their attention though, and they fled.

           

            Red sighed in relief, hoping that whatever had saved him would not try to eat him. Maybe it was a Falkner…

            Golden eyes glinted with sharp fangs and claws as the being dropped down in front of him on the back of an Aerodactyl.

            Wait… that was… “Brother!”

            The Lance nodded, as Red clambered onto him, feeling better as her sibling placed paws on her injuries and healed her with blue light.

            “What were you doing?”

            “… I…I was trying to run away from a Yellow.”

            “There was a Yellow in our territory? We had better tell Father and Mother…”

            “Poli froze her, so I hope she didn’t run away.” Red shivered.

            “I’ll take you home now.” Lance said, and that was that.

 

            Father-Lance and Mother-Red returned soon after, dragging the corpse of the dead Yellow behind them, as a warning to other Yellows in the area.

            Red and Lance cuddled together, as Red lavished her sibling with kisses and pets, thanking him for saving her from the Brunos.

            Upon hearing about the strange behavior of the Brunos, their parents looked worried. If there were demented Brunos, there might be Agathas or Loreleis around controlling them…

            Their kittens might be in danger then.

            But until more proof was there, they would take care of each other, and they would not move out of their comfortable den.
