in which the protector of legendary Pokémon gets discovered by a curious ketchum.
"I walked in that cave to help a Salamence, and walked out with an 𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 partner by my side... I'd say that's a 𝙥𝙡𝙪𝙨!"
*ash k...
Luna sighed at the events that had taken place earlier that day. Moltres bent his head next to her, trying to comfort her.
"Moltres, are you trying to burn my face off?" Luna joked, knowing Moltres can only burn who he wants too. Moltres smiled a bit before rubbing his head against hers, " what a big softy." she giggled, petting the ginormous firebird.
the giant firebirds head size was almost bigger than her entire body. need less to say he was a pretty big boi.
"Salamence, Sala!" Lunas attention drifted off from Moltres to Salamence who looked at her pleadingly.
"Sal, I know you want to find that Salamencite but it's getting kinda late out." Luna stated, making the Pokémon whine out his name.
"fine Sal, but be back in half an hour okay?" The Pokémon cheered and nodded, rushing out to go look for a Salamencite.

"i seen her Charizard fly this way!" Ash explained, pointing more into the forest.
"Ash what i think is that we got lost." Professor Sycamore sighs, really wanting to know more about Mega Evolution.
"no, im so sure i saw her go this way!" Ash was determined to find her, he was intrigued to say the least. she was so mysterious, it was like he had to figure her out. plus he had to thank her for helping him save Garchomp, if it wasn't for her who knows what would've happened.
"maybe we should go bac-" Clemont was cut off by a Pokémon's cry for help, "Salamence, mence!"
no one had time to say anything as Ash had already gone to check it out with Pikachu and Froakie.
a struggling Salamence has its wing stuck under a boulder, "there must've been a small landslide and this Salamence got stuck under it." Clemont pointed out.
"i know this Salamence! it's the girl we're looking for!" Ash exclaimed, remembering his first encounter with the purple eyed trainer.
"how are we gonna get his wing out?" Bonnie asked, petting the Salamences head.
"i know! Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash told Pikachu, in which he followed his orders. it made a dent but nonetheless it was working.
"keep using it buddy!" everyone began cheering on the small mouse Pokémon.
it was enough encouragement for him to break through it after a couple of minutes.
"Pika, Pi!" Pikachu exclaims as if talking to the huge Pokémon.
"Sala, Mence." Salamence replied as if he was saying thank you.
"where's your trainer Salamence?" Clemont asked as the Salamence began to walk away.
Pikachu began speaking with the Salamence, explaining that it was hurt and needed medical help. Salamence refused and tried to fly away but couldn't due to its wing being injured.
the Salamence didn't want to believe he was hurt , his trainer already has so much on her plate and he didn't want to add on to that.
"Salamence we are only trying to help you." Bonnie pouted, trying to approach the Pokémon.
Salamence backed away before taking off deeper into the forest with Ash and everyone else trying to catch up.
"Ash how do you know that's not just a random Salamence?" Bonnie questioned the red capped boy.
"well here's one, there are no Salamences in Lumiouse City." Professor stated matter of factly.
"so that Salamence has to lead to that Pokémon trainer!" Ash yelled still running after the Salamence.
they arrived at a cave that would be pitch black if they didn't have flashlights.
they followed the Salamences cries, confused on how they've never seen this cave before.
"this is awfully strange." Professor Sycamore states, glancing at his Pokédex.
"what is?" Ash questions while they still chase after the Salamence.
"well according to my Pokédex, there should be no cave here." as Sycamore stated that, the rocks behind them began to close up the entrance.
everyone looked back in shock at how the rocks moved shut like that.
"there must be a psychic Pokémon here." Clemont observed his surroundings.
"the girl had an Espeon, isnt that a psychic type?" Ash pointed out.
they all then saw the blue glow again,
it was same blue glow that surrounded the rocks when they moved.
there stood Espeon who looked down at them, "look there it is!" Bonnie shouted.

Espeon stood in a defensive position after seeing the intruders, her eyes still glowing.
"i don't think it likes us being here..." Bonnie hid behind her brother, peaking out a bit to see the Pokémon.
"or maybe it's protecting something?" the Professor questioned.
Ash began to walk closer, a hand out to try and show that he's wasnt harmful.
The Salamence had stopped running already, having hurt his leg he laid behind Espeon.
"Espeon we won't hurt you I promise we just need to help Salamence please!" Ash walked a bit closer with each word, making the Espeons eyes glow brighter.
Pikachu hopped off Ash shoulders toward the Psychic Pokémon. Pikachu spoke to the Espeon, his small yellow arms flailing around as if explaining something.
Espeons eyes stopped glowing before she bowed as her way of thanking Pikachu.
Espeon went over to Salamence with Pikachu following, everyone took this as a sign to follow as well.
The eevee evolution Pokémon eyes glowed bright blue again, the blue also surrounding the Salamence as he was lifted up.
everyone helped pick up the Salamence, even though Espeon was doing most of the work.
