Sorry for the cruddy title, couldn't think of anything. This is my first fanfic, so wish me luck.

Reed ran. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. Not far behind were a Torchic, a Wartortle and a Snivy. "Get back here, thief!" The Wartortle shouted. Reed kept going, dodging branches and roots as he went. The Torchic tripped and fell behind. Reed looked ahead and saw three medium-sized rocks arranged in a triangle near a large tree. 'Almost there!' Reed thinks. But he accidentally tripped on a root and fell. His leg was stuck under it!

The two pursuers caught up. "Well, well, well." The Wartortle says. "Trying to steal our berries again, are we?" He steps forward. "Give 'em up or face the consequences!" All of a sudden, dirt starts shaking in one spot behind them, and out pops a Drilbur. "Reed! What's going on?" He sees the Wartortle and Snivy. "You stay away from my friend!" The Drilbur digs back down again. He comes back up a few seconds later. A Sandslash then reveals himself from the ground next to the Drilbur. "Get out of here, nasty starters!" The Sandslash jumps out of the ground. He uses Mega Kick on both of them and they both go flying backwards.

He then turns to Reed. "You okay there, little buddy?" He slashes the root, freeing Reed. "Thanks." Reed says. "I was in a tight spot." The Drilbur walks over. "Were you stealing their berries again?" "Yeah. Sorry for the trouble, Mac. But we are low on food! I had to do something!" Mac shook his head. "Don't just run off on your own like that! You're just one little Aron! You could get yourself killed! Come on, let's head down to home." Mac digs down into the ground. Reed and the Sandslash do as well.

That's the first part of the story. I have some more stuff planned out in my head. It'll make more sense later.
