The forest remained quiet as the young Zangoose walked through it. Being so young, he didn’t have the red markings, or the viciously sharp claws and teeth as adult Zangoose, which makes you wonder why he was walking alone in the forest, when danger could be lurking right around the...
A nearby bush rustles, causing him to freeze. He’s about to turn around and see what had caused the noise, when something long and black suddenly leapt out, surprising him. Before he could react, the black serpent had coiled itself around him, holding him to the spot. The Seviper looked at its prey, before…licking him with her long forked tongue. The young Zangoose started to laugh as he was tickled.
“Stop it…” He tried to say through his laughing, “You know I’m ticklish!”
“Ya…” said the female serpent, “But what’s the magic word?”
“Ok, ok, ok! You win!” As those words left his mouth, the Seviper ceased tickling the little guy, before looking at him with a smug look on her face.
“Now, was that so hard, Aaron?”
“Actually it was. Now can you please let me go, Silvia?”
The Seviper known as Silvia nodded to him as she released him from her coils. As he climbed out, he looked up at his best friend. Ordinarily, you would never see a Zangoose and a Seviper occupying the same space without fighting, let alone playing as these two were.
For as far back as anyone could remember, the two had been mortal enemies, always fighting. The two Pokemon had fought for so long, that no one, not even the oldest of them, knew why they were fighting. Their were many stories between the two to explain why they fought, but each one only blamed the other, saying that they had done something wrong in the past. Never the less, Zangoose and Seviper were mortal enemies.
Except for two: Aaron and Silvia. The two had been friends for several years now, always meeting in secret and playing games such as tag. Both were very young, and both lacking the markings and abilities that their older counterparts possessed.
Aaron’s fur was solid white, as Silvia’s scales were solid black. Aaron only had small stubs for claws, while the blade on Silvia’s tail was so small and dull; you couldn’t even call it a blade.
“Well, that makes me with 5 wins to your 2. Wanna make it an even six?”
“Actually, I think it’s about time we headed home.”
“What, the big scary Zangoose afraid of losing to little old me?”
“Hardly, it’s just that I don’t want a repeat of what happened last time we were both late getting home. Remember?”
“Oh ya…we were both grounded for a week because of that. You know what’s actually funny?”
“What?”
“That for being enemies and being on opposite sides of the forest, both our parents act and think almost identically. It’s kinda creepy…”
“Ya, that is pretty creepy.” They both remained silent for a minute, before bursting out laughing. This went on for a few more minutes before they stopped. Once it was over, they both headed their separate ways.
