Chansey worked tirelessly on that poor Glaceon that Moon found, Moon did what she could to help the Nurse Aid to heal the male. At the Chansey's request, Moon had cut off most of the Glaceon's nervous system with her Psychic ability and waited while Chansey re-broke and properly set bones that had started to heal in ill positions. Once Moon restored the nervous system, the Glaceon moaned in unconscious pain. Moon felt pity for the creature and wondered how such a strong willed breed was in such a shape. It was a miracle that he was still alive.

Moon concentrated on the last stitching she had to pull tight then tie so Chansey could cut the plastic string. Finally, Chansey pulled out a small cylindrical item, cracked it, then slowly waved it under the 'eon's nose. When he started to stir, Chansey force fed him a Revive and then sprayed him with a Super Potion. He howled in pain as the potion took effect and closed the wounds and forced the bones to heal.

Once it was over he panted and looked around. He immediately locked eyes with the Espeon and tried to back away. Moon closed her grip around him and held him still.

"Calm down, I am called Moon, what is your name?" She smiled and slowly released her grip.

"F- Falrin, you are not going to kill me?"

"Why would I?"

"The others, they say I am an omen. I did not go the basic way, I chose Ice over Fire. Thee three good are wanted most; I wanted one of the bad..." His accent made Moon grimace, but at least he still speak the area's language.

"Where are you from?"

"I... don't know. All I know is the forest under the Clawed Peak."

"Do you know Articuno?"

He shook his head.

"One brought you here and dropped you off within my reach. So... um... welcome to the family. I shall take you to my human; he should allow you to stay here. But I have told Samuel to meet us first; you should be more comfortable around him."

The Suicune that Moon had called jumped from the second level down to the main lobby then stretched as he slowed his pace. "Ah, so a fellow Ice type finally joins us. Frolass and I were just talking about how nice it would be if we had more Ice kin around. Climb on, I was told you were pretty much crushed alive."

"He needs to rest; you may want to find him a bed to sleep in even if your Trainer says no." Chansey did a final look over on the Glaceon.

"He won't, meeting him is a formality. I just updated him on the situation and is waiting for us in the nursery. Falrin, do you think you will be able to walk or would you rather have a ride?"

Is she serious? Damn she's upfront... and rather cute. "I think I would want a ride." Falrin grinned slightly as he sized Moon up.

Moon drew back slightly. "Sam, would you please? Your body temperature would suit him better than mine."

"Sure, I can do that." Samuel chuckled as he realized the situation, he didn't blame the Glaceon for lusting after Moon, and even he found her cute. "Hop on, kid." Samuel squeezed beside the table despite the disappointed stare on the male's face. Falrin rolled onto Samuel's back hissing in pain as he did so.

Moon smiled then led the way.

They moved quickly and swiftly. While Samuel ran at half speed as Moon used her telekinesis to hover her way over the floor at his speed. They dodged others that blocked their way with ease and laughed as they did. When the speed racing stopped, they were at the nursery and gleefully ready to do it again. Falrin, however, was not ready to attempt the speed again and was just barely holding his stomach together.

Samuel went in first; the young ones had an instinctual fear of him and would leave him alone. Though he hated that, today it was a blessing.

"Jason, here is the newcomer. Be gentle, his 'legs' are not fully healed yet."

"I see. Moon, thank you for saving a life today, I bet he would say the same if he was not so green."

"But he's... oh!"

Jason picked up the Glaceon and held him over a trashcan just seconds before his control of his stomach became null.

"Feel better?" Jason asked once the Pokèmon stopped heaving.

Falrin spat then nodded.

"Good, I bet you have not eaten well in a long time. I tell you what, little man, you get some rest then I will make sure you will have the biggest meal you can handle."

Falrin looked up at the human with an odd look; Jason was his first human he had ever seen. He could not think of anything to say to him.

"You seem scared; I would be too if I was rejected by everyone I knew. Samuel, will you slowly take him to Frolass's room? The chilled air should do him better than anything else. I need to go talk to that Entei about the others."

"Be careful, she may not be mentally stable. Remember, she and the Tranitars have yet to be released from the balls."

"Playing with fire is safer than playing with electricity, go get him chilled." Jason placed the Glaceon back on Sam's back and watched him walk off. With a sigh of an unknown reason, Jason went off to see Lisa.

On his way, Jason thought of his life. With a smile gradually growing on his face, he realized that he had grown up and became a man already. He took a turn and found himself at Adrian's and Lisa's room. He hesitated momentarily then knocked on the closed door. Adrian quickly opened the door and greeted him with his daughter clinging to his chest spike.

"Is she awake?"

"They both are... barely." Adrian pulled the Rilou from her perch and cradled her. "Come in, we're being decent."

"You? Never," Jason chuckled and rubbed the infant's head as he passed the father. "You may want to hold onto her tightly."

"Why?"

"Entei."

Adrian paused in closing the door for a brief second. "This will be the first time that one will be out in your care-"

"I know. That's why I want you here. I am hoping the room is big enough for her."

"Jason..." Lisa yawned then rolled over to reach for her belt. "I'll be ready to recall her for any reason."

"Thanks."

Lisa tossed the ball and called Entei out. The Pokèmon formed and the red light dissipated leaving Entei standing there confused.

"Hey there. That beast will not hurt you again."

"I smell a Suicune. Male and young at that." Her voice was deep but feminine. "I take it that you were the human I was forced into trying to kill?"

"Sure was, I had to stop you from being killed by Samuel... so when you went down..."

"You threw the device. At least the voices have stopped."

"Alright, let me clear some more things up for you. I am your overall Trainer, but Lisa there... is your handler. She uses my Trainer's ID to control a team. Then there is the quest I am on. I am a... warrior for the Unnamed and Mew sent me after the Guardians."

"I am afraid you chose the wrong one, I am no Guardian."

"Then we would not have met, dear. Can I have your name? Samuel played hard and my Espeon companion dug his name out of his mind."

"I have not earned my name yet. I was captured by that Dragon during my own Rite ceremony."

"Is there a way for you to complete that?"

"I won't be allowed back into the territory with a human's scent on me. Especially not a Suicune's."

"Well, too bad, looks like you will suffer going back anyway."

"What!?"

"I need to talk to wizened Guardian who will tell me where to go next. You are my ticket into finding them. I have to find all of the Elemental Guardians before the others find them. There are forces out there that are trying to destroy the world and I must stop them."

"You will be killed on sight."

"A risk I must take. Arceus will watch over us all, that was the guarantee I was given."

Entei flexed her claws a little at the name. "Very well. We leave when you are ready."

"Tomorrow. Tonight, we eat and rest. Lisa, release all but that one. Try to be awake for supper. Entei, come with me. I want you to meet your fellow teammate."

"Let me guess, a Suicune?"

"Right. Sam is a nice guy, I am sure now that you are in your right mind again, he'll talk to you and help you."

"I doubt that, I don't even know if my own will help me."

Jason scratched Entei's chin then went to the door. "Just let him try to help."

Entei sighed then followed, they went quietly. She began to shiver as she felt the chilled air flow down the narrow hall Jason had led her down. When Jason stopped in front of a door, she looked over her fur and saw steam roll off of her. Jason knocked and announced himself, then after a moment, the door opened with a slim Frolass hovering on a cold air pocket.

Jason bowed towards her then he asked her about Samuel. Her throat crackled like a glacier crumbling as she cleared it. She told him that the Suicune had dropped the Glaceon off then went for a quick run. Jason started to grumble but a weak voice behind Frolass startled them all. Falrin had started sleep talking.

He was dreaming of the instance when he was beaten. He started to mention one name over and over. From what Jason could tell it belonged to one that he had loved in his old life. Jason wondered what the little blue 'eon had left behind that was so important that he risked his life for. A whimper came from the male then he went silent once more.

Entei sat down and flared her fire bladder to warm up. It did little to help. Jason turned to her and smiled, he thanked Frolass then started to walk away from the door. He stopped when he noticed a strong blast of air hit him in the face. He smiled and crouched down just as a blue mist came rushing at him.

The mist solidified and formed into a Suicune. "Has she regained her mind?"

"Yeah, and we got a mission. We are leaving in the morning. Get to know her and see if you can help out any. I need to go inform the rest of the team. Don't miss dinner you two, you'll be the runners for the three of us."

"Three?" Entei asked.

"I'll explain it to you in a bit."

Jason grinned as he rubbed Samuel's head and receiving a growl from it. He chuckled then left them to their own devices. The Trainer wandered the halls as he emptied his mind. Trying to just get some kind of peace so he could fully think on this team's future, he stopped in the storage room that Champ found. He stood over the computer there and stared at it.

He drew slow breaths as he looked it over. He refused to touch it, but something told him to go for it. He resisted it with difficulty. He left the room with an even more confused mind, he could not think that is how the tree fully possessed the 'Master' of the place. If the machine displayed a hypnotic program, he did not want to get trapped by it and thus he knew better than to fool with it.

He left the room and made his way to the dinning room. Though it was empty, he sat at his normal spot and began to think deeply. Thoughts of his quest came up, mostly the 'What If's' but a few logical questions did come up.

"Yeah, what is the name of this group... I better go check on that man, I bet his is ready to talk now." He called Moon.

She teleported him and herself to the basement where the man was being held. Her fur glowed as she used a move and lit up the room. Jason's jaw dropped, he saw the man sitting in his spot without a head. He nearly lost his stomach at the sight. Moon inspected it casually then sighed before sending the body off to an unknown location.

"It was done by a Dark type, burned it right off. There is none that I can think of that can do that though. I'm sorry, I should have paid more attention to his mind."

"Not your fault. I have a feeling his boss's Pokèmon paid him a visit and left the body here as a message to us. Who ever this group is, it will be stopped."

"Are you ready?" Moon vaguely asked.

"For most that is coming to my mind... yes. And, I am ready to leave this dungeon."

"Let's go." Moon said as she moved back up against him then teleported them to his room where his son slept peacefully against his mother.

Azu greeted them quietly.

---

That night after dinner, Jason told his team to head to bed. All went except for Entei. She waited for the tree to go silent before she found her way to the landing perch. There she sat and stared through the treetops at nothing in particular.

With a sigh of resentment, Entei agreed with herself that she was stuck. The only chance she had to gain the rights to her heritage was with this human and the Suicune. Even though she was raised to think they were killers, the male's attitude contradicted her teachings. Now she fought herself on rather or not she wanted to meet the Raikou clan and see if they were really as awful as he teachers told her they were.

She had even asked what Samuel's clan was like, she learned that his clan was not cold blooded killers and fought for life and peace for the common Pokèmon and even humans on rare occasions. A smile grew on her muzzle as she thought longer on Samuel. She felt her blood pressure spike and her temperature rise.

She hated to admit it, but she knew she thought that he was attractive. She wanted him and wanted him now. She rose from her perch and went running at her best maneuvering speed to where the Suicune slept in the chilled environment. She pushed open the door and spotted the Glaceon on the floor. She looked around, Frolass slept on an ice bed, then she saw Suicune laying in a corner with one eye open. She spat one small flame from her mouth to check his reflexes. He sat up and followed her as she turned and walked out.

When she was comfortably away from the chilled air, she stopped and turned with a grin. He gave her a look that would make a mirror freeze, he saw her tail twitch but nothing else seemed affected. He was about to ask her what she wanted when she rushed him and gave his snout a wet lick. His eyes went wide.

"What the hell!?" He tried his best to keep from shouting.

"All right, I'll spill, I'm in heat. There is no male around here that could give me pups, but there is one I think could satisfy me for a while. All I ask for is this one night. If you like, I will not say no for when you need my services."

This sparked a few thoughts, oh how he wished he knew how to make it binding. "At least I get some benefits for the one night bounce as well. Shall we head up to the landing? We'll be more secluded out there."

"Mmm, sounds good. Keep up if you can, but keep you nose out of my fur for the moment." With a chuckle, Entei was off. A little lie never hurt anyone that gained from it as well.

Sam followed thinking about how he gain from her promise. When they stopped, Sam could feel his hidden sheath come alive and reveal itself from the blue fur. His skin flushed, he stared at her backside as she looked at the sky.

"The moon is starting to rise. We have several hours yet. Mount me, my suitor, and take me slowly, quench the thirst this dreaded heat has caused."

"I will tell you now, you are not my first."

"And I hope not the last."

Sam mounted and teased her with a couple of dry thrusts. Entei bit her lip to keep from yelling out in pleasure as she felt his cold flesh touch her overheated own. He slowly brought himself to his mark then slowly pushed himself into her. He moaned as he felt her warmth flood over him, he forced himself not to slam into her and take her completely.

He pulled out quickly then went back in slowly, he grinned when she hissed with pleasure. He hilted himself and held himself there within her depths for a moment. He flared his chilled temperature into his shafts making her yelp and tighten her muscles around him. With a chuckle, he began a slow paced thrust. He enjoyed himself as his slow speed kept his knot down, he would keep it up until she demanded more.

After ten minutes, Entei finally gave in and demanded more from him. He appeased her by taking it up one notch, she moaned as her backside was thumped like a good pat from a happy owner. She begged him to give her his all. He complied and made her bite her own leg to muffle her howl of ecstasy.

Sam was thrusting so hard that each contact made her rump lift an inch off the branch. He felt his knot swell, it was already passed her pelvis, he was tied to her. With a half-conscious grin, he let loose his intellect and gave his feral side full control. The knot swell to fully lock him in place, his climax rose. He clamped his jaws down into her plump fur and let a howl loose into her. He let loose a steady stream of sticky seed within her. His eyes rolled back as her orgasm milked him for even more.

She was silent, unable to make a sound from the bliss. Once the eternity of joint ecstasy was over, they maneuvered about until they were tail to tail. Sam panted heavily, he looked over his shoulder and enjoyed the look on Entei's face. She was stuck in the afterglow, he figured that this was at least her second go.

Thirty minutes later, the knot had shrunk enough to be pulled out but Sam did not let Entei know that. Nor did she care that it could, she just loved grinding against him and causing more orgasms. He stayed firm against his wishes, though he did not regret it, he did feel his bladder protest. He looked at her once again, he was about to ask her if he could part with her when she whimpered and pulled away from him. She ran to the edge before Sam's penis even had the chance to flop back into its original position.

A heavy stream of urine sprayed from her. Sam smiled then went to stand beside her forgetting about his own bladder for now. She took a few steps forward to get away from the edge as she realized he was there. The last of the urine dribbled down her fur, Sam stuck his muzzle under her tail and licked her clean. He snorted when he noticed her scent was not that of an estrus induced female, but he let that slide. She gasped as he slid his tongue across her used labia.

A mixture of ejaculate and urine flooded Sam's muzzle, even though it was bitter, he swallowed it. He pulled away licking his lips then lifted his hind leg revealing himself to her. His red violet flesh still saluted strongly. Entei eyed it like it was rare, imported chocolate, she leaned in and gave it a gentle lick. It did not take long before she had enveloped the entire organ with her mouth.

She blew her flame warmed breath over the chilled flesh then rubbed it down with her tongue. He laid his leg on her neck and moaned with her workings, it was not long until he felt his testicles throb as they forced another load up. He gave her head a thrust as he exploded. He treated the tormenting tongue with lobs of sticky seed.

He gasped as she sucked and swallowed everything from him. He could have swore she had him in her throat, he did not dare to look. He just enjoyed it until his bladder popped, his urine flooded her mouth, he stopped breathing. But she did not stop swallowing. Once finished with his accidental leakage, he lifted his leg again expecting her to pull away. She did not, she just chuckled and slapped his face with her tail. He took the hint well, he pulled away from her with a smile.

Then he laid on his back with a sly grin, "Come on, my sexy thing. You want me to act, you got to get on top."

"You cheeky devil."

She mounted him as he asked, throwing her hips above his muzzle as she sucked his meat back into her mouth. She gasped as he blew his icy breath into her then shoved his tongue into her with as much speed as he usually put into his paws. He lapped at her inner walls, drinking the delicacy that was her juices. They went into another orgasm together and then collapsed. Entei laid on top of her mate and panted, Sam smiled and timed his breathes opposite of hers.

Five minutes later, Entei rolled over and laid on her back to stare at the sky. Nothing was said when Sam got to his feet. He glanced at her and noticed that she was asleep. A quiet chuckle escaped him, he laid beside her and rested his head on her stomach. She did not respond, but he did not care. He quickly fell asleep, even if was a light one, and allowed his body to wait out the night.

Morning came soon enough, they both woke quietly, not wanting to move a hair of the other soul. Sam eventually sat up and yawned deeply then stretched. Entei reluctantly followed suit then they went to join the family for breakfast and the talk they both knew they would get from the Psychic of the group. They enjoyed the slow walk to the dining room rubbing against each other.

When they got to the dining room, the entire tree residency sat waiting for the meal. Moon shot them a smile as she read their minds. Sam blushed then went to join his teammates without a word. Entei followed him and sat beside him with a shy smile on her muzzle. Moon chuckled and pulled away from her bowl of water then went to push her way in between the two Legendaries. Sam blushed and ducked away knowing that Moon would embarrass him. She surprised him, though, by forcing her voice into the pairs head.

I heard you two at it last night. I do hope you have the energy to run all day, I rather relax in my ball today. Moon smiled.

"I know I do." Sam still felt his cheeks heat up.

"Yep, I always have the energy to run. That's my thing after all."

"I am glad. The meal is about ready to be served don't over eat. We don't need sick runners, now do we?"

They both blushed and watched Moon head back to her spot. As soon as she sat down, the kitchen doors flew open. Nidoqueen and her crew brought out the food and served it gracefully.

The family ate a meal that fit their species and their stomachs. Jason's son bounced in his father's lap as he ate the little bits that was giving to him. Azu smiled as Mickey ate, she knew he would be rotten while his father was away. Lisa and Grace finished their meals and strapped on their belts, Lisa began to explain how to use the balls. Grace, in turn, asked several questions mostly on if she could get stuck in the balls herself. Lisa smiled and told her no.

"Alright, gang, I want the team gathering up in the lobby in an hour. Take care of yourselves now because the trip will be long as it is and I do not know what we will face." Jason stood and cradled his child against his chest. "Nidoqueen, you will be in charge. But if any Trainer shows up, send Mitch and Ditch out to accommodate them in best way possible. We shall return as soon as we can once Entei has learned of her fate. I know I shall miss my extended family here while I am away. Please try not to cause problems for the town but I do wish to hear that a few of you dare to venture out for supplies and clothing for your sisters that need it. I will do my best to do the same."

Nidoqueen said nothing but bowed as she stared at him. Jason then passed Mickey over to Azu then left to go down to the lobby and log into the computer. It was his only access to a VidComm and he wanted to contact his mother. As he did that, his team split up to tend to nature's call besides getting cleaned up. Falrin followed Jason downstairs with a slight limp. Falrin met up to the human just as he turned on the screen.

"Excuse me."

"Hmm?" Jason turned slowly to find the Glaceon limping his way. "Oh, it's you. Are you still in pain?"

"No. I was wondering if I could go with you. I mean... that it would be better than being stuck here and sleeping all day."

"Don't lie to me, pup, you just want to be around Moon and her sister. I'll let you come, but only if you choose to be in a ball."

"A ball? Like this?" Falrin curled up getting Jason to chuckle.

"No, one of these. They are called Pokèballs. Here is an empty one, just tap this button if you wish to join the team. But know this, I will be your main Trainer even though Grace will be carrying you."

"Oh, alright then. Give it here, I rather be stuck in that thing then have that Frolass stare at me while I sleep."

Jason placed the ball on the floor and watched Falrin as he examined it then pressed his nose on the activation button.

A red light engulfed him, he went wide-eyed. What is this? It does not hurt... so bright. Wait, did that thing just grow? Now I go in it, right? Why is he so huge? Wait! Don't close! NO!! The ball closed and rocked as he wrestled against the force that took him in. NO! I... I don't like this, it's too dark. But it is nice and warm like Mama. I could stay... wait, this is not right. But I did choose this, didn't I. Fine, I will stay. He heard his name, then he felt movement. Like he was thrown, then a bright light blinded him then he saw red. Next thing he knew, he felt the floor under his paws.

"Ready!" He growled out in a fighting stance. He blinked once then straightened out. "Huh? Why did I want to fight?"

"That's the ball, you will learn to control that urge. Join us down here in a bit, go get ready for the long trip."

"Okay."

Jason watched the Glaceon leave him. With a grin, he turned back to the PC then logged on and selected the phone option.

When the time came for the team to leave, the team gathered and stared at Falrin as he limped down the stairs. Jason went over to Lisa and Grace then placed a new ball on Grace's waist. Jason sighed then started calling his personal team back, leaving Sam. Lisa and Grace did the same, though it took Grace a little longer to recall hers, then they went to climb onto Entei's back. Jason climbed onto Sam's.

Jason chuckled to himself as he thought about running about on a pony-sized canine. He had to fight the urge to yip and howl like a rancher. The two legendaries charged off to the ground entrance then let a roar sound their leave before they charged at full speed with Entei in the lead. Jason had to close his eyes, the world was going by too fast to focus on anything.

Samuel chuckled as he felt Jason hide his face within the bulky fur of his body. They ran for miles, Jason no longer knew where he was. He trusted these two to know how to return to the tree. Entei stopped when a large, lone hill appeared in front of them then let out a roar that suited her Legendary race. Sam slid a few feet past her and looked at her curiously.

"What's wrong?" Lisa asked as she leaned over the larger Pokèmon's shoulders.

"The land does not smell right, smells like blood. Yet I do not see evidence of battle and no one has answered my call. I honestly do not like this."

"I agree. This sounds like an attack led by those who hate all life."

"Lisa, you and Grace take a flight up and look for any signs of survivors or a sign of massacre." Jason said soberly as he watched his Legendary companion. Entei, see if you can find out anything. Sam and I will walk the perimeter of this hill and search for any signs of foul play."

The group split up though Rex protested when he found out that Grace now carried his ball. Sam watched the Charizard fly up after being told to by Jason, then him and Jason ran off to circle around the land looking for various signs of life. Entei sighed once she was left alone.

She turned to the hill and walked to it at a slow pace. She went to a cave and stared into the darkness, the stench of blood held strong in the air coming from the cave. She flared her fur, it sparked then turned into a roaring flame, she went in cautiously wishing she had back up now. She watched the dirt covering and saw blood splattered here and there.

She sped up her walk after she pawed at the blood to find it dry. She slid into the main anteroom and spat a flame to the center brush pile. The flames shot up high and lit up the rock walls, she doused her personal flame for a while to conserve her energy.

"Elder Rhynon?" She called out hoping someone would answer her.

"Welcome back, youngling," A male warrior in his prime called back as he shoved his head through a tiny chamber entrance. "We have been attacked, humans in strange clothes came with noise makers that made many of our elder warriors fall without a fight."

"I need to speak to the Elder. I have been unwillingly charged by Arceus."

"By the Maker. Come, he is seeing to the wounded."

"I did not come alone, my charge is outside. Please ask the Elder if I may bring him in to help the injured."

"Call the charge, I shall take the punishment. I do not wish my littermate to die."

"Thank you." Entei rushed outside and howled at the sky, a moment later Sam slid to a stop in front of her and let out a deep breath to relax his body. Then Rex landed letting Lisa and Grace off his back. "Come, there are wounded needing help. The warrior said humans attacked with noise makers that made them fall without a fight."

"Guns... Rex, stay here with Lisa and Grace. I rather not cause to much trouble. Sam, I guess-"

"I will join you. If anything, I will show that they have no choice than to disregard their fear of my clans."

"That may get you attacked..." Entei grunted then turned. "Let's go."

Sam took up the rear as he followed Jason and Entei.

She led them to the anteroom then forced Jason onto her back. She jumped up to the ledge where the wounded were being kept. Sam followed a few paces behind. They heard growls and a few curses as they entered the room.

"Stand down, he is with me." Entei stood between the Suicune and the warriors. "This human is the chosen one of Arceus. He is my shared charge, he also needs information on the other guardians-"

"Now is not the time, I have some medicine with me. I will do what I can." Jason pushed passed Entei and swung his pack around then dug into the medicine storage pouch.

After he emptied his last bottle of potion, only one warrior lay wounded still. Jason dressed the warrior's flesh wound, but the leg would never be right again. This warrior thanked the human though he did wish he would be able to provide for the clan still. The Elder spoke against it.

The Elder then demanded a feast to be held. Jason looked to his Entei companion with a questionable look, she shrugged as best as she could then wandered off to visit. Jason went to the Elder and told him of his adopted daughters. The Elder turned to the young warrior and ordered him to retrieve them. The warrior wasn't even gone a full minute when he returned with a limp Charizard over his rump and Lisa and Grace sitting just behind his shoulders.

Jason gasped and rushed to check on Rex then hefted Lisa off of the Entei male. Grace recalled Rex as she started to blush under her fur, she refused to look Jason in the eyes. Jason picked her up to hug her then he passed on to her guardian. Lisa sighed but he hugged her as well.

"Don't sweat it, he'll be fine. Just a bump to the head. Good to know that little weakness of his now that way we can use it against him when he acts up." Jason smiled wholeheartedly.

"Youngen, do bring in your... adopted offspring, I am sure they are wanting something to eat. Do they like meat or are they plant eaters?" The Elder called out from a joining chamber.

"We eat both, Elder one." Lisa answered him.

"Ah, good! The meal shall be cooked soon and be ready. If anyone wishes to wash up, there is a spring on the lower level to the left."

"Ooh, that's sounds splendid. We'll join you later."

---

After the meal was started, the Elder called for the clan storyteller. The storyteller stood on a ledge above the clan and guests then started to recite a prophecy of a divine warrior coming to claim the help of the Entei's. The story went on, on how the warrior calls the elements together and defeats a great darkness that wishes to consume the world before moving to others. The warrior would come after a great storm and restore peace of the clan. Jason listened intently, his jaw agape. The Elder stopped the story then turned to stare at Jason. An annoyed growled escaped his throat.

"You seem to fit the ancient prophecy. I always thought that as just a story since I was a pup. I guess my Elder was right when he said not to doubt it. The Raikou reside in the Northwest in the Land of Lightning. But I must warn you: they are dangerous, not only to you either. Be wary, divine warrior, watch your tail at all times from here on out. I forbid the telling of the rest of the prophecy while you are here to protect the path you must take. Return to your growing army, they will need your guidance even more now that you know you have no choice but to move on."

The clan members stood, then as one paws pounded the ground harmoniously. "By the Flames of Life, may the Mother bless our guests and not be burned by our flames."

Flames shot around the team Entei stood stiff among Jason and her extended family. The flames sizzled out and the team stood unharmed and unburned. The clan stopped pounding then bowed deeply touching their muzzles to the ground.

"As representative to the clan's guests, I declare them blessed by the Mother. Grand Elder, by your word, we shall take our leave."

"You may not, youngling, you have unfinished business to attend to. To the Lava Pit with you. Human, you and your family cannot join us. It is far too hot for you to survive. Please stay here."

"Very well. Entei, my dear companion, I wish you the best for this task."

"Thank you. I shall return with my name and my life task." She nuzzled Jason before leading her clan out and down a tight shaft that lead to a volcanic flow that they carefully watched and guided.

Jason soon heard chanting and pounding. Roars soon came loudly then the temperature rose, everyone panted heavily.
