A cry filled the young Charmeleon's ears. No matter how hard he would search, he would never find the source. "Help me!" It echoed.

 He roughly flew over the the thrashing ocean. "Help!" A faint Glaceon wailed, scrambling on a thin spread of ice. The evolved form of Charmander came to the shore, and reached for him. The crack of ice tipped over, and the faint Glaceon fell into the wavey sea.

 "Save me!" It creaked, and the fire type tried to grab him, but she vanished out of the world. 

Charcoal opened his eyes to blaring sunlight. Dust blasted outside, and his friends huddled around the hollow trunk with the wall broken. The stones were blocking out dust, with only a crack of sunlight. Sprout was blocking a big hole, with sand blasting against him. He coughed painfully as he squinted, his blooming flower blasting against the wind. Loud screeches came from the outside, and claws desperately hung onto a hole in the bark. Charcoal's eyes widened. He slashed the other side of the bark and pulled the Pokémon in. He covered up the hole with a strip of wood from the stash. A scar ran down her head and to her cheek. Her one eye was closed, and the other a full yellow. It moaned, it's blue, black and yellow body heaving. A Shinx! Charcoal thought. Twilight gasped and licked the bleeding scar.

The Shinx jerked back as she put a cream and cobweb on the wound, except for the eyes. "W-What happened t-to me..." She moaned once more and got onto her rock-hard paws. 

"I only remember my d-daddy b-being thrown against a t-tree, and then... a-and he was l-limp.." She shivered in grieve, scarred emotionally and physically.

"Would you mind telling us what your name is?" The Charmeleon croaked.

"Shard." Shard mewed, and her tail hovered above the dusty ground. Tears trailed down her ruffled face and dripped onto her paws. As the wind wore down, Sprout moved away from the wall and broke it down with a lash of it's front legs. As Charcoal walked out, a Purrloin popped out of the bushed and snarled.

Ember! Char thought to himself, and the attack hit Purrloin like a bullet through a tree. She staggered back. The young Purrloin used Scratch, but he withstanded most of it. The Charmeleon used Scratch to drain the last bit of her HP, and she fainted into the bushes. Something flashed in his mind. That Glaceon! It felt like something was pulling at him to go to the freezing sea. Charcoal flapped his small wings and flew over the sea. Splashing, and a Glaceon scrabbling on a melting piece of ice. This time, I won't let him die! Char swooped down and lunged for him, hooking him up in his hind claws. Charcoal flew to the forest and set him down. With his scaly, hand-like paws, he pushed on her chest and he coughed out water. My name is Shiver... Something spoke in his mind.

"Shiver..." The Charmeleon repeated.

"I won't let you die today, Shiver." He said quietly and raised his head in a gentle howl.
