Heavy breaths. The forest breeze. The rustling of leaves. The chitter of distant Rattata. The vulnerable hide of an Umbreon. The glowing, bright red eyes of a predatory Riolu. He'd gotten to grips, he'd gotten his strength. He hadn't had the opportunity to exercise his actual strength, not when hunting. Instead, he'd fashioned some weapons from the surrounding materials, especially useful since he'd found himself a cave to take stock in on the edge of the forest. Berries and Meat, they were plentiful. Now, it was barbaric for those Pokémon in the main society to eat other Pokémon... But in the wild, it was live or die, kill or be killed. Survival of the fittest was at its apex out here, and our little 'Lu was just unlucky enough to be dropped into it. This didn't mean he wasn't adaptable however, he caught on quick that, being such a small Pokémon, he wasn't particularly high on the totem-pole, despite his typing. So, and since his body was so comparatively frail, he had to resort to... less than civilised methods. Atleast if he ever made it back to the city, he could take up butchery. Jokes aside, he was hunting right now as a matter of fact, and he'd set his eyes on a particularly delicious looking Umbreon. Waiting for his moment to strike was key, Umbreon were quite resilient, so a wrongly-timed strike would, well... Prove unruly. He stared intently at the oblivious dog. Waiting... waiting... waiting... And he took his shot.

Okay, for once I've decided to, well... Actually write a normal, non-NSFW Fic. Finally, I know, no smut for once. Instead, this is gonna focus on the meeting of Aura and Bastian in the LEGACY Canon, which also lets us see a sneak bit into the ol' life of the wild little 'Lu in his younger days (relatively, if you don't consider... y'know, the whole isekai thing). Overall, this is gonna be another wind-down fic, since... Well, not only do I have BASOREXIA to work on, but also... Well, stay tuned.
