Nakumara Koken
In words, shit hit the fan. Hard.
Naku had been sitting in the back of a moving cab when the city suddenly went berserk. The cab-driver, most literally, slammed onto his brakes, making Naku smack her head into the back of her seat. It also sent Shockstep flying forwards, into the front seat. Letting out a small groan, Naku sat up slowly, rubbing her temples. Then, the driver threw the cab into reverse, making it go careening backwards. It was amazing they didn’t run over the crazed citizens as the cab raced backwards, doomed to crash eventually. Naku saw only one option.
“Shockstep, knock him out! Thunder fang!”
In that instant, the electike had regained his balance and latched his jaws onto the man’s arm, sending volts of electricity through his body. The man’s eyes rolled back and his leg fell off of the gas pedal limply. With fear tight in her chest, Naku sat, tense, as the car slowed to a stop. Naku opened the door with shaking hands. As soon as she had opened it, Shockstep darted out as well, electricity crackling in his paws, sending small discharges with each step. And people wonder why his name is Shockstep.
Naku, still recovering, stood there, her breathing pace quick and painful. Her pokemon stood at her feet, whimpering and nudging her with his green fuzzy head. Almost like a jolt of electricity, Naku took in her current situation. “Oh man! Let’s go Shockstep! We gotta get somewhere safe!” Naku herself darted off, with the small electric dog right at her heels.
As the pair ran swiftly, they took in their surroundings. Things were getting burnt, destroyed, and blown up. The city was falling apart before their eyes. But, something in particular caught their attention.
“The subway! Come on faster!” She sprinted with all of her might, hearing screams and shouts behind her. But, seemingly out of nowhere, a small group of people ran in her way. Naku slammed into them and bounced off, going flying and landing on her back. She let out small squeaks of pain as her head hit the pavement and skin was scraped from her shoulders. Shockstep made some nervous barking sounds as he ran the her side, nudging her to her feet, urging her to hurry.
Her vision blurry, Naku stumbled her way to the stairs that led to the subway. She scrambled down those, collapsing at the bottom. Shockstep whimpered and licked at her face, sending small, tingly electric charges through her cheek. Naku clenched her jaw, and with a loud groan, shoved herself to her feet and stumbled over to a bench hidden in the shadows. She collapsed in it, panting softly out of fear, exhaustion and shock. Her head was pounding and her shoulders stung painfully. Shockstep curled up in her lap, not to sleep, but for comfort for both him and her. They both waited until all of the noises just stopped.
