Ava lashed out with a tawny forepaw, blue eyes blazing angrily at the Rhyperior. Her partner, Riley, a Riolu, unsuprisingly, was darting in from the back, landing a swift blow every now and then to assist. Ava was an Eevee. She had previously been human, but transformed, the only similar characteristci between her human self and Eevee self being her unusual blue eyes. Right now, they were on a rescue request. The pokemon they were rescuing? They had no clue. They only knew this Rhyperior had kidnapped the subject of their search. The Rhyperior let out an angry roar and smacked Ava aside, her weight being less than adequate for this fight. Riley called her name in alarm, but Ava's vision had begun to darken. Riley dealt the final blows to the Rhyperior, sending it running, and a pokemon, one Ava had never seen the likes of before, timidly approached her battered body. Ava searched her mind for the term she had heard the Rhyperior say before. Right. Vulpix. Ava guessed this was the unusual pokemon's species, and the golden Vulpix neared Ava. "My name is Lotus," it said in a young and feminine voice. "Thank you for rescuing me. I'll go get you some help." With that,the little creature darted away, and Riley promptly took a seat beside his partner, guarding her. "I'm fine," Ava protested, but Riley gave her a firm look. Ava rolled her aquamarine eyes, and unsteadily got to her paws. She heard an unfamiliar pokemon in the undergrowth, and her ears pricked. "Hello? Show yourself!"
