Crobat memories

"Mama! Let's go to the forest!" I rolled inside her wing and asked.

She looked at me awkwardly, "Umm..." Finally, she get up, "Well, let's go."

Mama sit on a tree to have rests, she's getting tired more easier lately.

"Well, honey, today... Bring me some Oran Berries?"

"Alright!" I flew into the woods and look for the Oran Berry trees.

When I bite down a tiny bunch of berries, I heard a familiar voice.

"Zubat?" It's... My brother!

I fling away the Berry bunch, "Yea?"

"Um, what was you biting?"

"Nothing..." I smiled but my voice sounds a little nervous.

"Alright then, well, you see..." He suddenly said, "You're just too kind, dad afraid that you might fear about hunting..."

"Um...? What you're trying to say, brother?"

"He's trying to say, it's time that you should overcome the fears, and start hunting just like us." A cold voice sounds.

I turned to right, and gulped, papa is there.

"But today, our hunt has already end, so maybe you should wait for tomorrow. For today, maybe you should stop using the container, instead just suck the bloods from the prey, give it a try, Zubat." Dad smiled to me.

My brother dragged a Raticate's corpse to my front, I saw two holes, and they are still bleeding.

I starts to feel disgust immediately.

"I... I'm full, sorry, papa..." I trying to make an excuse to leave.

He stared at me, and didn't move away.

I looked back at him in nervous.

"I smelled berries," he murmurs infront of me, "did you ate Berry?"

I shook my head quickly.

"Good child doesn't lies." He sliced my face with his claw slowly, but it still left a bleeding wound.

I cried and nodded in tremors.

He laughed grimly, and suddenly hit me down with his wing.

"You know you're not supposed to eat berries, don't you?" He asked.

I trembled in fear and pain, and crying.

He dragged me up with a wing, "But you did, didn't you?"

He sighed in angry, "How ironic, we Bat Clan, passed down by all generations, never have any of us eat berries, it's forbidden for us, and when it hands to me, there's someone starts to break this law..." He throw me to the floor, I bounced on the floor several times, and finally collapsed under a tree, I felt my head is bleeding now.

"WHY DID I HAVE A CHILD LIKE YOU?!" I heard a heart-breaking sentence, and when I look up, papa is dashing toward me with his fang especially exposed outside.

Suddenly, he paused there, acting like struggles to move, and soon, he has been blown away with an invisible power.

That's a familiar attack.

I was in great pain and unable to move, but something hold me up, "Zubat! Are you alright?"

"Ma...Mama..."

"Mom!" Brother flew to her, "It's too dangerous here, just leave here!"

"I can't leave without take Zubat away." She said in a determined voice.

"But it's too dangerous for you! You-"

He haven't have all of his word finished yet, papa flew out slowly from the woods.

"No need to hide, I'll look for you anyway, Swoobat." He said in an angry voice, "You've ruined our child on your own hand, it's unforgivable, I'll kill you, I'LL KILL YOU!"

He dashed to Mama.
