Etain stared up at the giant Pokémon, her eyes wide with both awe, and pure terror. This Pokémon almost as tall as the place she was in right now. Which she had no idea where that was anyways. It looked almost like a clay thing. It had bandages and everything on it, though she had no idea how they had even got there. She basically had to roll herself onto her back to be able to see it's head, which was incredibly tiny.

Etain wasn't sure what was going on here, but this Pokémon did not seem too happy that she was here. She didn't say a word, in fear of being executed because of it. There was silence for a split second longer, until the large Pokémon began to speak, in a loud voice at that "WHY HAVE YOU COME HERE, FAIRY?" The last part was said like it was a disease. Though Etain was utterly clueless as to why. But what could she say? The truth couldn't hurt her. At least, not more than a lie would.

"I was just here looking for my mother! I had no idea this was your land." Etain replied, turning up the charm factor for a bit of extra help. But the giant Pokémon did seem amused in the slightest. In fact, her explanation seemed to have made it even angrier.

Because of course, it was a well known FACT that there were different territories around here. And by the sound of her voice, she couldn't be that young as to have no idea about all of this. And do you know what happens when this one gets mad. Well, let's just say you really don't want to.

The giant Pokémon narrowed it's incredibly small eyes, not wanting to hear a single word of what Etain had to say. It suddenly snapped. "DO NOT TRY TO SWAY ME WITH YOUR LIES. YOU SHOULD KNOW THE RULES, AND THE PUNISHMENT SHALL BE DEATH!" it said with blinding fury. "AND THAT IS WHAT I HAVE COME TO CARRY OUT THIS MOMENT."

Etain almost cried out to her mother, even though she knew it was futile in this deadly situation. Her mother wouldn't be here to save her now. She was too far from home. Both of them were. There were no tears though, just pure fear emanating from her.

Soon, the behemoth began to charge a large attack, larger than anything she had witnessed before. But before the attack could be carried out onto her, a flap was heard not too far from where the two stood. Both of them looked over at the source, to see that it was a Litwick. In fact, it was the SAME Litwick that attacked Etain not too long ago. With a slightly squeaky cry, the Litwick cried out to the larger Pokémon, "Master Golurk, please stop this!" he said.

The giant Pokémon, apparently named Golurk, looked at the Litwick, looking slightly disappointed. "FLINT? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" it roared, Flint not flinching at the ferocity in it's voice, while Etain did.

"I found from the emissary of the Fairies that this one was quite sheltered." Flint began. Etain puffed her cheeks up. She was about to protest she wasn't sheltered, before Flint began to speak again. "She must have no idea about that if that's what they said."

Golurk understood that perfectly, and stopped calmed itself down. "ALRIGHT THEN, SHE MAY GO THEN." it replied. Etain almost jumped up and down with joy. She was very overjoyed at this new revelation. But then, the Golurk appeared to have more to say. "IF OUR EMISSARY GOES WITH YOU."

Etain didn't exactly object to having a sort of chaperone to guide her on her journey. But Flint didn't look the most happy about it. "Why do I have to guide this one?" he asked.
