Liquid Fire (Azure x Flinthood, ObsidianShipping)

The Attack

"Flinthood, listen to me. You need to run!"

Flinthood stared at his sister in shock. "I can't just leave you guys," he whispered, tears forming in his eyes.

"You have to. Mom and Dad would've wanted at least one of us alive. And they would've wanted it to be you. Now, please. Run! We'll make it out and catch up to you later!"

He nodded and ran for his life, coughing a little as smoke surrounded him.

The tears he was holding back fell from his eyes as the building behind him burst into flames. He turned around and his eyes widened. Then he turned back and kept running. There were multiple Pokémon chasing after him.

As he looked over his shoulder, one of the Pokémon caught up to him and pinned him to the ground. A Houndoom. Flinthood struggled under its weight before passing out from the lack of air.

As he lost consciousness, he heard shouting and the whimpering of the Houndoom as it was knocked out. Then he felt strong, yet gentle arms scoop him up. He passed out as the person started running.

Flinthood woke up in a tent. He had a bandage around his arm and shoulder. He groaned and grabbed at his head, feeling a little dizzy.

There was a young, blue-haired girl sitting next to him. She jumped a little when she saw him moving, then smiled. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah... just a little dizzy... where am I...?"

"You were running from a burning house. Then a Houndoom knocked you to the ground and you passed out. I grabbed you and brought you here," she said, smiling at him.

"Well... thanks," he mumbled, rubbing his head. Then he remembered and his eyes widened. "I need to go back and search for my family," he said, jumping up to leave. Only to be pushed back down by the girl.

"You can't. You're too injured. You could get yourself killed if you go out now," she said sternly.

Flinthood sighed and laid back down. "Alright... but I need to find them soon."

"Deal."
