James headed away from the house in the direction the scream had come from, a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. He hoped this wasn’t what he thought it was, but in his heart he knew that it was.
He hurried through the undergrowth but stopped suddenly when he heard the sound of something following. He frowned slightly hoping it wasn’t Jessie or Meowth he didn’t want to see them getting hurt.
The noise stopped suddenly and he gasped in surprise to see the Burakki that he’d seen that morning looking up at him. It mewed softly and started to walk forward again before stopping and looking back at James. It was obvious the pokemon wanted him to follow it.
James was confused but that didn’t really surprise him, he’d been kinda confused since he’d set foot on the island anyway. He followed the pokemon through the jungle until he came to a clearing. He could see Butch and Cassidy, they seemed to be unhurt but they were tied up and would be no help what so ever.
Of whoever had attacked them there was no sign, James crept forward slowly the Burakki following closely. Suddenly James felt a hand grab his ankle, he kicked out with his other leg hoping to get a good hit in but stopped when he felt the end of a gun pushed against the back of his skull.
“I knew there was more then just the two of ‘em.” A voice growled in his ear. James gulped, this was bad this was very bad. “Now I’m gonna let go of you now and you’ll gonna behave or else ya gonna be dead do ya understand.”
James nodded, he couldn’t trust his voice. He felt the hand let go of his ankle and the gun was pushed harder against his skull.
“Now get up.”
James stood up, he was shaking like a leaf, so much for protecting people when he couldn’t even protect himself. He let himself be lead into the clearing, he glanced across at Butch and Cassidy but they were both looking away from him. He sighed so he’d failed them as well.
Suddenly the man behind him shouted in pain, the gun left the back of his head for a few seconds but it was all James needed as his rocket training came into play. He dropped to his knees, rolled and kicked the guy in the shins causing him to holler again. James spotted the Burakki who was busy biting the guys ankles and legs.
James lept to his feet and charged the man to try to wrestle the gun from the guy, they rolled around on the floor thumping and kicking each other. James was trying his hardest but it really was no contest the guy was bigger and much stronger. As the blows continued to rain down upon him, he felt himself losing consciousness.
As he drifted away he could smell a strange scent in the air and from the distance he could hear shouting and the sound of gun fire and then the world went black.
