*BOOOOM!*

"JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!! THE LEGS GO FOR THE LEGS!! FERROSEED IS GETTING HER FUCKING ASS HANDED TO HER OUT THERE!!"

Ferroseed takes another metal claw to the face and is desperately using every ounce of her power to suck the 8 to 9 foot tall brown god of furry death with giga drain as the leech seeds are trying to keep her topped up.

But even with a few stacked iron defences, leech seeds covering the bears and draining them for all she's worth with Slowpoke supporting with heal pulses, she's still getting the living shit kicked out of there if the small rends and greenish blood leaking out of said rends are anything to go by…

*ROOOOOAAAARRR!!!*

"MEOWTH PROTECT!!!"

A 3rd Ursaring came out of nowhere from

Behind a building rushing straight at me with it's excessively large and clawed fist that glowed and orangish brown before giving a running lowered sweeping motion to take my head off my body before a blue translucent shield sprang to life over me

The protect broke instantly and the hit crashed into meowths ribs and punted meowth who jumped head on to intercept the possible brick break and I heard a *CRUNCH* and as meowth went flying with a trail of blood flowing behind him from his jaws with a pained yowl..

"MEOWTH NOOOO!!!"

Before meowth landed he was covered in a shimmering pink light as his injured side had a more intense light focused around it pulsed and meowth seemed to snap back into action while in the air before landing on all fours and dashing straight back at the ambushing Ursaring, clearly favouring his side that wasn't just hit with a boulder destroying super effective attack if his unsteady steps were any indicator

My heart sank as I thought I lost meowth for a second but I had to get my head back in the game…..

*CRUNCH*

*RAAaawwww-"

*CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH*

I look over to see machop has one of the big motherfuckers on the ground after pummelling it's legs into near dust as he's unleashing everything he can in a ferocious close combat on the downed bears skull every ounce of will power and strength he can put into his arms.

The bears head suddenly gives out and shatters like an egg, the brain matter and head meat spill onto the frozen ground as everyone stills for a second….especially the 2nd Ursaring, the slightly smaller one that was being held back with the now dead one…

Not one to miss a chance at a hit while things have stilled, skiddo who hasn't been able to get too close, who was waiting for a chance to get a hit in while trying not to grab one of the bears attention launches him self in an impressive burst of speed with a white energy sounding him, either take down or head butt I wasn't sure but he wasn't fucking around as he threw himself into the back of the knee of the still living offender with all he had..

While the usual gentle miltank was right next to him, leg aglow with white energy as she targets the other knee with a heft stomp that landed with a crack eliciting a pained yowl from the stunned bear who still couldn't believe it lost one of its pack…

My heart hammering in my chest because I came so close to death again and my Pokémon not being strong enough to really save me or themselves, me surviving with the near sacrifice of meowth had me feeling dizzy…so dizzy I missed that fact the bear that was trying to go for a kill on me not a few seconds earlier was jolted out of its shock of its dead pack member to try and kill me again with claws a glowing with white energy while bellowing in an unquenchable rage

Surprisingly out of nowhere from his hiding spot around the side of one of the buildings just before Slowpoke could throw every last bit of psychic energy he could muster in that moment at the renewed attempt on my life Zigzagoon pops into the air in a dash and goes for a bite on the hopefully only Ursaring still alives throat which caused the bear to cancel its slash to block, allowing Slowpoke to throw the bear into a concrete wall with astounding force the tore down the whole building as the roof collapsed onto itself while the walls started to buckle

Zigzagoon only joined an hour an a half ago, I didn't expect him to jump into an Ursarings jaws for me….but that's exactly what he did, because I was dumb as shit and just sat there while it got it's shit together…

*CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH*

The second bear is put down with the same ruthlessness as the first, being a trampled skull….but this time it was surprisingly miltank who dealt the killing blow with continuous stomps on the pasted bears head spilling blood all up the left side of her body, while machop was throwing himself into the collapsing building at the Ursaring who attempted to essentially assassinate me with hatred on his face and his whole body lit up with dirty orange fighting energy….

But as he makes it through the bear sized hole of the soon to be complete ruins of an old tailor supplies store he's thrown back out with equal or even greater force than he threw himself in with followed out by the last of the bears, who's eyes are bloodshot and filled with madness as it directs its gaze at me and my blood felt like it froze…

Luckily it was only me who froze as the whole crew was in front of me, Zigzagoon included who was shivering in fear at the berserk Pokémon in front of it but held its ground all the same for someone who it met barely 2 hours ago…the dudes got heart that's for sure…

*ROOOOOOAAARR!!!*

The apoplectic Pokémon charged at the lineup of mons with frightening speed but before it could really get into the pace a green tendril of energy sprung up from under it and snagged its foot which caused it to trip and slide on its face…but it wasn't even down for a second and while still sliding was using its long arms to get back onto its feet…

Or it would have if machop wasn't already back from his forced sabbatical from the battle with rage on his face and close combat in his heart….and fists…..with a rather nasty rip along his arms and his right peck consisting of the exact amount of claw marks your average Ursaring claw sports

Meowth had a thunder bolt raining down on the angry carniformia Pokémon while keeping close to me incase something else popped up for a surprise with Slowpoke on my other side with his usual dopey expression, but his eyes told a different story with the anger they held..

Ferroseed had spat out some leech seeds after the grass knot covering the brown giant in leafy vines that were slowing draining the life out of it while the admittedly now smaller rends continued to close..

Miltank fell into a defensive position in front of me as skiddo veered off to look for a perfect time to smash his own skull into our hated enemy's weakest spots…

Machop was bobbing and weaving in and out of the raging monsters glowing and furious claws while landing almost perfect counters that resulting in a heavy and meaty thumping sound that couldn't have felt pleasant..

Another few minutes and the 3rd and hopefully last bear was dead on the ground with a shattered skull, something I taught to my Pokémon about during training, the double tap method, always make sure they're dead….and what better way then to remove the brain from the body?

I look around with a paranoid skitter as my Pokémon all do the same waiting for the other shoe to drop and something to come out and finish us off….because none of us were in great shape…we didn't have much fight left in us…

Miltank and skiddo were reasonably ok after not taking many hits but they were exhausted as well, they took a couple hits in the first exchanges of the fight when we first ran into them, not to mention they came home after what looked like heavy combat…and that was the reason we were out here in 3 feet on snow battling death bears to the….well death.

I don't think they fought these assholes though….there's no way they would have made it back alive if they had…

When they came home looking like they went a few round with a machamp, they told us they had a bit of a scuffle with something that wasn't super scary or aggressive, it just took offence to them taking wood from "it's area" so it drove them off….I couldn't figure out what did it though….but whatever it was is probably dead now seeing how we met these fuckers where miltank and skiddo led us…

The second we made it into the area that miltank and skiddo took the L we saw these bears, and they saw us…with no warning cry or anything they just charged and went for the kill….luckily we were half ready

I was pretty sure I had shell shock again, with how I felt just….I don't know….but it was shit and I didn't like it.

I just sat in the snow that came up almost above my waist….or maybe waste, I wasn't sure yet and wasn't keen to check if I'd literally shit myself….and just breathed out all the air in my lungs as I threw myself backwards, being caught by the snow. Kind of felt like an icy beanbag chair…

"Ffffffffffuck….."

That's all I could say as my Pokémon still had their heads on a swivel while hovering around me protectively…well Slowpoke was just smashing as much healing as he could into meowth, Ferroseed and machop, who was looking at his fists with anger as he kept flexing them opener and closed…almost like he was making himself a promise…

Our training has been a little lacking lately, barely able to get a day or two in a week with the constant snowstorms and having to build shelter to not freeze to death but this was a major wake up call….we need to step it up again….snowstorms or no…I promised that same thing after surviving the explosion but I was caught up trying to survive the cold….we can survive the cold now so it's time so get serious...

Suddenly a very bright light hits me from the left and causes me to flinch and cover myself as my mind instantly goes to worst case and assumes an explosion only to quickly realise I'm not dead or under attack again and to look over to see meowth glowing brighter than magnesium burning.

He's evolving….

I've heard again and again it's an amazing thing to see a Pokémon evolve and whenever I try to ask details the answer is always you have to see it for yourself…which makes more sense now….it's magnificent…

One thing they mentioned though was it was common to hear cracking sounds and that it was perfectly normal, it was just bones readjusting at the rapid growth, no other sounds, just the mystical bright light and what sounded like someone cracking their knuckles but dialled to 11.

Meowth was a pretty big Tom cat for his species and the gravity training and hyper nutrient food just helped him grow into the monster of a kitty cat he was meant to be but this evolution looked to be something else….he just kept growing….

It only took about a minute but it felt like forever.

It finally finished and left the majestic form of Persian who looked like a mountain lion on growth hormones who's girlfriend glued one of her bullshit healing crystals on his forehead while we slept…

Even on all fours he was taller than me…he would stand at around 5'2 with his neck not slouched….fucking hell he's a bit kitty….feeding him is gonna be rough…..

But I'd also heard that evolution can sometimes cause a bit of a change in Pokémon so just to be sure I called out?

"Meo-Persian, buddy….you good?"

Persian the mountain of fur and muscle jerked his head toward me, being the one who interrupted his admiring of his new body didn't fill me with confidence at that moment..

He looked at me and suddenly

*PPPPRRRRRRRRRRRR*

He was on me rubbing his massive head all over me like he though it was the last time he ever could….he pushed me down and continued with his purring assault for awhile while the rest of the crew starts sending what sounding like their congratulations and acknowledgments….

I was absolutely stoked at my first Pokémons evolutions but it was offset by the near devastating situation we were just in and how emotionally fucked I felt right now…

I grabbed, rubbed and ruffled along Persians head and jaws for a few minutes before letting everyone know we had to get home…

Looking at the Ursaring corpses I couldn't help but want to turn the pricks into rugs so….that's exactly what I'm gonna do….

"Alright gang, we survived….thank fuck for that right?….let's get these bodies back to base to make blankets and rugs n shit out of em as a last little fuck you hey?….machop would you be ok to drag em back?"

He didn't hesitate as he plows through the snow, stacking the bodies on top of each other before hoisting them above his head in a frankly bullshit display of strength and started trudging through the snow as we left…

We were all to tired to notice something pushing snow aside like a little snow plow whole following us while occasionally poking a small blueish trunk with a rocky orange plate that ran across it up and out of the snow to take a sniff while heading in our same direction…
