Deep in the Forest, I stood before a large Tree, with a Hole leading under it.
'...This could be a dangerous Pokemon Den, But then again, it's not like I have many other options.'
Slowly, I make my way down the Hole.
"\\Hello?\\" I whispered.
No response.
"\\...Seems like it's saFE-!?"
One moment I'm on the ground, and then next I'm in it, with my body up to my waist being engulfed by the soil beneath me.
"It's a Human! Get the Human out of here!"
2 small, Rabbit-Like Creatures emerge from behind a large Root.
"...Um... Hello. Sorry to intrude, but can you possibly help u-"
"Shut up, Human! We make the call! ...Damn it! He can't understand us... We'll just have to leave him confused!" One of them starts marching towards us.
"Okay, first off, I can understand you just fine. And second, can you at least assess the situation between my arms before you make a lapse in judgment?"
Startled, the Gray Bunny stares at me. After a moment, they look down and notice the 2 Pokemon in my arms.
"...They're injured?"
"Team Rocket. I managed to get away, but these two were badly hurt because of the Electric Net."
Both Rabbits gasped, then stared at each other for a second before looking back.
"...We can only provide 1 Berry each. Anything more would be asking too much." The Gray Bunny says.
"Thank you. Oh, do you have any Oran Berries?"
"The Blue Ones? ...I think we only got 2 of those. Wait here. I'll get you a Pecha Berry as well. Bun, keep an eye on them."
The Gray Bunny suddenly goes into the ground, and disappears.
The Brown Bunny, however, stayed behind.
"...Buneary and Bunnelby. ...Quite the interesting combo you have there."
". . ." The Brown Bunny was silent.
"...Hm?"
...Looking at the Fluff on their ears...
"...A Shiny..." I was surprised.
A sudden wave of horror filled Buneary's face and they backed themselves to the wall behind the Tree Root with great speed.
"...Oh, sorry. I forgot that Shiny Pokemon were being Hunted Down by Humans... But, you don't have to worry. After all, this Ralts here is also a Shiny, just like you."
Looking around the corner, the Buneary noticed the Blue Hair on Ralts's head, and their expression calmed slightly.
"Also, even if I wanted to hunt you, I don't have any Pokeballs. That, and, well... I practically kissing the earth if you hadn't noticed."
"...Hehe."
Buneary gave out a light giggle, and stepped back out from the Root.
"... Actually, this feels kinda nice. I mean, yeah, My clothes are 100% gonna need a wash after this, but, other than that, I'm fine with this. The earth is nice and cool... I feel like a Tree..." I closed my eyes, relaxed...
"Hehehe..."
Their smile seemed to be more genuine than before as they slowly came out from behind the Root.
