"Morpho! Morpho! I wanna play with Marx's Pokemon! Their fur is so soft!" Kirby begged their parent. Morpho looked up from the book they were reading.
"... I'd rather you play with Parasol or Gooey. Marx is probably busy packing for his Pokemon journey-"
"But that's why I wanna play with him and his Eevees. I might not see them ever again..." Kirby became very pouty.
"I'm sure you will run into him one day. Now, would you go play with Parasol? She probably wants company!"
Morpho looked outside the house and spotted the young Marx and his two Eevees. They shook their head and sighed, not approving of Kirby's third neighbour. The young lilac-haired boy was a known troublemaker and Kirby seemed oblivious to his undermining nature. Always listening to what the teenage menace would say.
"Marx! Marx! Are you leaving already?"
"Course I am ol' pal, but don't worry. I promise I'll be back one day, wait and see!" The young Marx replied, twirling around in a goofy fashion.
"Aweee, okay then. Good luck! Call us once in a while, okay?"
"Sure thing buddy! Come on Eevee and Eevee! Let's go to Mainland Popstar!"
...
Togepi was frightened by the two Eeveelutions surrounding her.
"Togepi! Watch out!"
Umbreon went for a Quick Attack, knocking Togepi backwards. The Spike Ball Pokemon felt drained as she ran out of Morning Sun energy.
"Looks like it's all going according to my perfect little plan!" Marx cackled, "Finish them with Foul Play, Umbreon!"
The Spike Ball embraced for impact but was met with Kirby lifting up Togepi and protecting her. Kirby used his back to shield his partner Pokemon from further harm.
"YOU'RE GOING TOO FAR, MARX! TOGEPI CAN'T FIGHT ANYMORE!"
Kirby yelled as he felt the dark aura aching on his back.
"THEN NEXT TIME, DON'T BE SUCH A STUPID TRAINER AND DECIDE TO FIGHT WITH WEAK POKEMON!!!"
Marx shouted back, enjoying watching the young trainer struggle.
"I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY TEAM ANYMORE!"
Kirby formed tears in his eyes as he embraced Togepi, who began to faintly glow.
"Togepi... It's going to be alright. I-I'll get you to the Pokemon Centre... We can have spicy noodles and strawberries", Kirby stuttered, doing his best to think positively.
"You're so damn pathetic," Marx giggled, "Espeon, finish them both off with Confusion, would you?"
Togepi felt a rush of adrenaline, refusing to let her friend down. She got back up, Soothe Bell in her tiny hand, and began to glow.
The wave of psychic energy bounced back, revealing Togetic hovering in the air! She was still severely injured but had enough energy to use one more move.
"TOGETIC!?"
The Happiness Pokemon waved its arms side to side and generated a random move.
Metronome, metronome, metronome...
Echoed Voice!
"TOGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
Kirby witnessed Togetic let out an echoing screech that blasted Umbreon and Espeon away. Kirby's partner Pokemon let out a whimper before gently landing in her trainer's arms.
