SHADOW TO GUARDIAN
Ch 3

"That's right general. There appears to be a set of fully evolved levels that just emerged in sector 25." The hunter looks around the room and is surprised that the room has changed very little since the last time he was here. The room looks like the command center of the shuttle missions, the only change is that the overly large screen has changed to encompass more features. Like a globe like the world he sees through his glasses on a hunt, and a few other smaller things.

A set of red dots start to blink in central Oregon. The two are a little far apart but distance means little to these creatures. Once they would catch wind or something of the other, they would immediately head for the other and fight to the death. And since these two were fully evolved levels, the damage that they would inflict on the land could be disastrous.

Looking around the room the hunter begins to see several of the people at different consoles start to shake, probably out of fear.

"Alright everybody calm down. Lets start running this by the books." The general shouts. As he shouts orders to the people around the room the hunter goes over to one of the consoles and looks down at the screen. At this console he hopes that it will tell him what these fully evolved leveled monsters are, and sure enough it does. His eyes go wide as he finds that one of the monsters is the same kind as the one that killed his parents. He doesn't even look to see what the other one is as he quickly takes to his heels and runs back to his hanger.

Once he is fully reloaded and packed for the trip his Poketch goes off. Pulling it out of his pocket, he attaches the headset to it and answers it. It turns out to be the general.

"I guess I don't need to tell you to get ready to be deployed. Don't worry about the payment, it's already in trans..."

"This ones on the house general." He interrupts him. "Whenever one of those specific monsters shows up, I think it's my civic duty to remove that stain off the face of the earth. All I need is a green light to go after that monster, and your ok to use deadly force." He doesn't bother waiting for a reply as he attaches his supplies to his chopper and refuels the bike. He walks over to the horse and rubs her nose. "Sorry girl, I need to make some fast tracks on this hunt and I need to get there as fast as I can." She snorts and shakes her head, obviously displeased with the information of being left behind. Just then he hears a heavy sigh.

"I don't think it would matter either way. Especially when you ran off like that from the command center. I'll send the data that you'll need in a few minutes, and if need be we would like to get this one intact, but if you need to, authorization of deadly force granted. Good luck and gods speed." Though both he and the hunter know that this thing isn't going to come back alive, let alone in one piece.

"Thanks general." Are his only words and the lines goes silent. He set his sunglasses over his eyes which display local directions to an intercept point and kicks over the engine and zooms out the already open hanger doors.

With speeds that would make anyone sick he travels down different highways. It only takes a few minutes before he attracts the attention of the local law enforcement. They do their best to overtake him but after a few moments the simply pull ahead of him with only flashing lights and provide him with an escort to the location of the two monsters. They must have been alerted to the situation by the general.

He doesn't bother to stop to eat or rest as his escort is replaced several times by a fresh cop. After nine hours of riding he leaves the local roads and the cops to go off road. Just before he looses sight of the cops he catches one in the rear view mirror step outside his vehicle to salute him.

His glasses change from street GPS to back country road setting without changing settings. He follows the directions for quite a ways until he can hear the sounds of battle over the sound of his bike. He slows the bike further to avoid the local plant life and presses a switch the glasses rim to change the settings. The glasses change to a overhead view of the area and confirm his suspicions that the two are now in combat with each other. The combat zone is less than a quarter mile away, so he parks his bike and slings his gear over his back and makes for the battle zone.

The closer he gets to the battle, the more the terrain starts to show it. He is quite astounded to see several strangely colored leaves imbedded in several different trees and such. In other places he can see that many of the trees have been totally burned to a crisp or the earth itself looks scorched. Obviously he is dealing with a fire user, but what about the other one? He quickly shakes his head as he connects his glass to the computer and slaps it onto his wrist.

The land around him is mostly flat so he has to stay behind trees as much as he can as he makes his way to the battle field. Though every time he thinks he is in a safe position, he quickly has to move off to either avoid being burnt to a cinder. Once he is close enough he looks around a burnt tree that is still smoking to see the two creatures.

He nearly drops his gun as he sees the x shaped scar over the breast of an orange skinned, blue under-winged, dragon. This is it, the 30 foot monster that killed his family all those years ago. He just stares at the creature for what seems like an eternity, then is brought back to reality as the thing starts to advance upon the other creature. He tares his eyes away from the creature to see what this demon is going to attack.

Again he is spell-bound as he sees the most rare type monster out there. This creature is one that he never expected to find again. The creature resembles a human but instead of having the normal tanned pinkish skin that humans have, this creature has white skin and looks to have some sort of dress on. The upper half is cut low in the front, colored green with sleeves that run all the way down to the hands, about the hip the dress changes to white and seems to flow down to the things floor. It has two red looking things on it's body, one in the back that looks like it used to have a point and the front that does. Its hair is also the same color as it's upper dress, though it looks more like a helmet and would look like a full helm but it looks like an upturned triangle in the front and over it's ears. It's ears too are different from a humans, to where we have one ear it looks like it has several points where a human has their ears. Though the most catching thing about this creature is its eyes; it has the most beautiful soft violet eyes.

The creature looks pretty bad as much of it's dress and skin looks like it's been burnt or singed, sweat covers it's body, and it's breathing is very deep. Just then the creature fell to one knee and started to wince as it grabbed at it's left shin. This brought him out of his trance as he quickly brought around his gun and started making calculations.

(The next part is translated due to the glasses and the computer and earpiece. Since I don't understand Pokemon speech)

("I have sampled almost every type of Pokemon out there. Though you will be an exquisite treat. A Gardevoir that has such beautiful eyes.") A small bit of drool appears at the side of his mouth. Reaching up with his short forearms the big dragon wipes away the drool only to have more start to appear.

("Do you really think that it's going to be that easy.") The Gardevoir said. It's voice almost sounded like a dark angel as it spoke. The Gardevoir tried to stand back up only to fall to both it's knees this time. It was obvious to him that this Gardevoir couldn't fight anymore.

The large dragon started to laugh. ("Just look at you. Even though you can't even stand anymore you still have the nerve to bluff. I always enjoy it when my meals fight to the bitter end, it makes absorbing your experience that much sweeter.") Just then he opens his mouth again and cries, ("Fire Blast!") For a spit second he sees fire leaking out of the things mouth then a flaming person came out it's mouth. The sheer size of it was the size of an RV. The whole scene seemed to slow down as he watched as the thing of fire made it's way to the Gardevoir.
