The starry nights, complemented by a half moon that shines across the forest. You can hear the Notcowls and Hoothoots hooting loudly across the wooden area, while some of the bug Pokémon, like the Beedrills, were returning to their nest for a goodnights rest. A couple of other wild Pokémon were also turning in for the night, save for the nocturnal ones roaming through the woods. However, if one was venturing out into the woods, you would eventually hear the sounds of a fire sizzling and crackling amongst the pile of wood stacked close together. Once you go and inspect, you would eventually come across a campsite, where a nice large tent had just been set up, a camping gear could also be seen right next to a log, and finally, you would notice a large enough pot being heated up right under the firewood.

  Walking towards the pot were a pair of legs belonging to a human. This human, who has pink hair, would eventually kneel down and check on the pot for a quick moment before stirring something in that said pot for a short minute or two before setting the utensil down on a clean enough looking cloth.

  This is Whitney, and she’s a Pokémon gym leader for Goldenrod city, but right now, this gym leader decided she’s earned a nice needed vacation from battling and decided to settle for something a bit more relaxing by going camping. She couldn’t bring all of her Pokémon, so some would either be dropped off by a Pokémon Daycare, while others were spending time with some of Whitney’s close relatives or friends. Luckily, there were two Pokémon that didn’t mind one bit spending time with Whitney on her camping trip, so at least this gym leader wouldn’t be completely alone. As Whitney opened her camping bag to run a quick check on her gear, she heard the sound of leaves being crunched under someone’s feet. She looked up and there she was greeted by two Pokémon that brought their own supplies. One of those Pokémon is a male Ursaring, who had some fresh looking fruit as well as a couple of spoiled apricorns that he was able to shake from some trees. Standing next to the Ursaring, is none other than Whitney’s most trusted Pokémon, a female Miltank. She brought some fresh looking berries picked from a couple of trees and brushes. Whitney showed her two Pokémon her gratitude as she starts examining the fruit and apricorns.

  Whitney: Hmm… I think I know what I want to make with these types of berries and apricorns… OH! Is that a Pinap berry over there?! … Wow…! That has to be the freshest one we’ve seen all night! You two are guaranteed life savers!

  Both Miltank and Ursaring took plenty of pride from that complement. After Whitney chopped up her choice of fruit to be placed into the pot, she kneeled down to carefully check the fire.

  Whitney: Hmmm… … Sorry, Ursaring, but I’m going to need you for one last job. I hope you don’t mind coming with me to look for some firewood.

  Ursaring nods his head, singling to Whitney he doesn’t mind doing one more job with her.

  Whitney: Thanks. … Miltank, could you watch over the campsite for us? We shouldn’t be gone for too long.

  Miltank also nodded her head and she sat on a log to wait for her friends to come back. She didn’t know exactly how long both Whitney and her Ursaring have been gone, but Miltank could feel her legs crossing against each other, and from the look on her eyes, it seems that Miltank was in a desperate battle against her own bladder. She did everything she could to tough it out, but the sound of the water bubbling gently inside the pot only made Miltank want to cross her legs some more as her eyes also shut themselves tight enough as the bubbling form that pot only made Miltank felt like her bladder was about to exploded. She looked behind to stare at a path that Miltank and Ursaring had used to get back to the campsite. Miltank remembers seeing a restroom stall while collecting the berries. Her mind was trying to stay tough for this fight, but eventually Miltank could see that her bladder was ready to piss on the log if this cow refused to get up! Miltank figures that a quick bathroom break shouldn’t cause too much trouble.

  Although Miltank was in a hurry to reach the bathroom, she still walked carefully and looked around to make sure she’s following the right path that leads to the stall. As she looks for the right path, Miltank’s patience might have helped keep the cow on alert when she heard something rustling within the woods. Miltank turned her head and waited for something to happen, but nothing did. Miltank slowly continued on as that same rustling started again and now the sound of leaves crushing caused Miltank to whip her head even faster, but again, she could see no one in sight. Miltank did, however, turn her head in time to see that a bush did move slightly, so Miltank knows someone is stalking her. Miltank’s eyes looked in all directions as twigs were being snapped by someone’s feet. Miltank continued on, but she felt the increasing need to be on her guard. Even when she finally made it to the small restroom building, Miltank did a double check, and scanned the whole forest, before deciding to just go in the building and be as quick as possible.

  Once Miltank was inside, a slight rustling from the bushes would soon gain volume, as a pair of legs would emerge from within the bushes. This mysterious stalker’s shadow can be seen entering the building, and they were just in time to see Miltank entering the middle stall where the door shut itself right as Miltank took a big sigh and she let her bladder go.

  Miltank: Ahh… … Mil…

  Still, even though Miltank was able to relax, she still can’t shake the feeling that someone had just entered the building. Miltank’s eyes would start scanning around before they would look below the stall when she spotted a shadow making its way towards the same stall Miltank is using. Eventually, the shadow would be replaced by two pairs of legs that look to be chicken legs. It only took Miltank a couple of seconds to stare at those legs before her eyes would directly stare at the stall door, but no one was opening it. Miltank took another look at those legs, and the more she stared at them, the more Miltank felt this sudden rage within her body, as if she knows exactly who’s standing outside her stall. Gearing herself ready, Miltank stood, flushed the toilet real quick while checking to make sure that whoever is standing outside is still there as Miltank take a good minute to think about her choice before opening up her stall and suddenly her eyes started growing seconds before her attacker just straight up ambushes the cow without a second thought!

  Before Miltank could even react, this same attacker had already dealt their first serious damaged towards Miltank by pecking her left eye so hard that Miltank let out a loud painful scream that was suddenly cut short when this same attacker started strangling her neck right after Miltank felt the back her head hitting against the metal pipe from behind the toilet seat! When Miltank finally found the strength to open at least one of her eyes, they would start squinting again, only this time out of rage when Miltank recognized her attacker being none other than that female chicken Combusken, and it seems that Combusken still remembers Miltank all too well judging by the way this chicken is also starring Miltank down with rage!

  Miltank quickly grabs onto Combusken’s arms as this chicken almost trips when Miltank starts kicking her right knee right as Miltank tries to pick herself up while Combusken starts pulling Miltank back up, where a wicked grin on can be seen on the chicken’s face. She began to peck in between Miltank’s eyes right before slamming the back of her head against the pipe again as Combusken started sliding down on her knees while pulling Miltank over before a large splash can be heard! Miltank quickly had to hold her breath as Combusken looked below with another wicked grin! Her hands were tightly gripped around the cow’s neck as Combusken listens to Miltank trying not to drown in that toilet water as bubbles started forming! Miltank started moving her arms and legs across the stall, until finally she found the handle to flush the toilet once more as Combusken suddenly felt her head getting grabbed moments before Miltank gave Combusken a hard head bash right towards that forehead, sending Combusken back down to the floor while Miltank was finally free from Combusken’s grip as she panted and started coughing while checking on her neck!

  Once Miltank wiped the toilet water off her face, Combusken also rubbed her head before both Pokémon stood up and stared directly at each other. From the look on Combusken’s eyes it seems this chicken has been waiting for a good while to fight Miltank again as Miltank returned that same glare to Combusken before Combusken started lunging towards Miltank with some sort of battle cry. Miltank kept a good watch before she skillfully sidestepped away form Combusken while grabbing onto the chicken’s left arm as Combusken was about to go for a punch, but instead Combusken lets out a bloody hell scream when Miltank pulled on that left arm and even started twisting it to where Combusken felt her bones cracking!

  And that was just the beginning, Miltank was able to shove Combusken back a good distance from one strong elbow attack to the face, and by the time another elbow attack came through, Miltank managed to push Combusken out of the middle stall! Combusken’s beak already received some bruises thanks to the elbow attacks, but she quickly went under Miltank’s arm just before Miltank had another shot to elbow Combusken again! Instead, Miltank was the one being pushed back when Combusken started pecking around Miltank’s face until she successfully pulled her own arm away from Miltank’s grasp. Miltank quickly shut her eyes for protection as Combusken practically forced Miltank back into that stall until Combusken took notice of Miltank's left arm. Once the pecking finally stopped, Miltank quickly opened her eyes right when she heard the sound of a stall door creaking in front of her. It was only for a split second, but Combusken suddenly felt the stall door suddenly being pulled away from her right when Combusken was about to trap Miltank’s left arm within the edge of the stall door! Combusken glared to see that Miltank was the one that stopped the door from trapping her left arm and she started using all of her strength to pull the stall door away from Combusken, but she felt a sudden pull when Combusken started using both hands to have a slight better change to still close that stall door! As Miltank starts to feel another strong pull, she quickly used her own head to ram against the door as Miltank heard a loud thud and suddenly saw Combusken letting go of that door as the chicken started backing away while rubbing her forehead where she just got smacked!

  Even though Combusken failed to trap Miltank’s left arm against the door, her plan did make Miltank want to look closely at the edge of that stall door. Forming her own plan, a sudden hard grip alerted Combusken before Miltank yanked the chicken far enough as Combusken’s eyes started growing before a sudden hard slam had Miltank squint her eyes when hearing the loudest screeching Combusken ever had to let out! Combusken felt the blood rushing amongst her body to where she started lifting herself up while waiting until the leg that Miltank was using to keep that stall door closed had just been dropped towards the floor. Miltank was about to kick the door again, but another battle cry from Combusken made Miltank look up right as the door made a nice slam against Miltank’s forehead as Combusken entered the stall to see Miltank had been pushed back near the toilet! Just as Miltank was picking herself up, a nice wad of spit left her mouth the moment Combusken sucker punched her jaw with a left hook.

  Both ladies started going for each other’s neck, with Miltank being the first to grab Combusken’s neck while going for a hard press against the center with her thumbs! This was made right after Combusken planned to lift Miltank up from the floor by grabbing onto the cow’s left horn before a sharp cluck escaped her beak when she felt that strangulation coming through! Miltank did had to thank Combusken for helping this cow get up because it gave Miltank the chance to headbutt Combusken’s beak and force the chicken to stumble back towards the middle of the stall, but then Miltank’s legs started flinching right when a sharp gasped escaped Miltank’s mouth when Combusken started strangling the cow with her own two feathery hands! Combusken was close in pushing Miltank towards the stall wall, but Miltank managed to force Combusken to toss her away from the wall by driving a nice kick towards Combusken’s left shin as the ladies suddenly turned to where Miltank was the one facing away from the entrance leading out of the stall! That sudden kick also made Combusken lose a little of her grip against Miltank’s neck, so Miltank had a better advantage to where she kept a firm press on Combusken’s neck to where another sharp gasp escaped this chicken’s mouth, as another headbash was made towards the beak! But this was a big mistake for Miltank, because she practically gave Combusken the free range to peck her right eye, which she did, and that made Miltank let out a teary moo, as Combusken had managed to free herself from Miltank’s strangulation!

  Miltank had to look from her left eye while wiping her right eye. Miltank just barely managed to dodge Combusken’s sudden kick sweep that was about to go under the cow’s chin! Once Miltank felt her right eye healing, she dealt a nice hard sucker punch to Combusken’s own right cheek, where a large amount of spit flew out of the chicken’s mouth as her head shot to the left! Miltank walked back to where she was out of the stall while Combusken wiped the spit of her beak and stared down with Miltank. Miltank braced herself and so did Combusken as both Pokémon were just waiting for someone to make the next move!

  With a determined and confident clucking noise from Combusken, the chicken lunged forward while raising her right fist, which Miltank managed to catch very easily! But Miltank would soon come to realize that was just a fake punch by Combusken as Miltank suddenly felt her body moving one step back right after Combusken placed her right foot back on the ground while smirking as she saw her nice clean scratch mark on Miltank’s udders! Miltank saw the confident grin on Combusken’s face, but just when she was about to peck Miltank again, you can see Combusken’s eyes suddenly squinting due to a strong stomach punch from Miltank. After Miltank went for another strong stomach punch, Miltank was able to catch Combusken right before this chicken dropped towards the floor. With a sudden lift, Miltank practically rammed Combusken towards the pillars in between the bathroom stalls, where Combusken shut her eyes tightly and felt like her beak was about to bleed due to the way Miltank also rammed her head against the chicken while Combusken’s back was getting slammed! Miltank was thinking about ramming her head against Combusken’s face again, but instead, Combusken grabs Miltank by her left horn before pulling her face down enough to get a sudden kick to Miltank’s nose! Combusken stunned the cow enough to where she pushed Miltank away, before getting another upper kick close to the jaw right after Combusken let that horn go! Combusken does another direct kick towards Miltank’s face, shoving the cow even further!

  Shaking her head, Miltank runs a quick check to see that a small drop of blood has started running down from the right side of her nose, but she couldn’t worried about that right now. When Combusken lifted up her left leg, Miltank quickly ducks and even grabs that same leg to pull Combusken over to sock her directly at her face, the force of that punch would make Combusken slipped onto the floor, until Miltank practically released Combusken’s leg and then proceed to grabbed her head to lift her opponent back up! Right around this time, Combusken also grabbed onto Miltank’s left horn again, possibly to either leverage herself back to a standing position, or to make Miltank fall instead because the cow was able to back her head away in time before Combusken had the chance to punch Miltank’s own face! At that same moment that Miltank was pulling her face away to avoid that punch, she raised up her right hoof, and a sudden sharp hissed left Combusken’s mouth along with some hard spit when Combusken’s left arm started dropping and her body began to bend itself over as Combusken did a quick check on her lungs. Once again, Miltank started picking Combusken up by her head, where Miltank’s left hand let go of that head, so that the cow to throw a hard uppercut punch to Combusken’s right cheek, which Miltank heard those bones begin to crack and some blood left Combusken’s mouth shortly after! Before Combusken had the chance to stand, Miltank was still able to grab and lift Combusken’s whole body where Miltank proceeded to toss Combusken around, and with a sudden shove, a sudden loud and clear shatting noise could be heard somewhere in the distance! Moments later, Miltank can be seen taking a step back to recover as she watched Combusken’s head slumping while her body sat on the sink. A small amount of blood can be seen on her beak, and from behind Combusken, some glass shard can be seen laying on the skin too, indicating that a mirror had just recently been shattered from the impact.

  Miltank waited for a couple of minutes, and of those minutes, she saw Combusken’s right arm beginning to move, and then the other arm also started to rub against the sink before Combusken started lifting up her head while trying to slide her body away from the sink. She only just managed to push her legs towards the edge, before a sudden grab stopped Combusken from crawling any further. One sudden pull, and a sudden sharp and semi-loud short scream was heard across the building! After Combusken had been yanked away from the sink, the chicken felt that during the yank, Miltank made Combusken hit her head against the sink as the chicken rubbed her crotch while hissing at a certain spot to where Miltank had just recently kicked her! Miltank wasn’t going to let this chicken have time to recover, so she kicked Combusken from the side and had the chicken hit her head against the edge of the same sink that Combusken is grabbing onto while trying not to fall to the floor again.

  Combusken: *Pant pant pant*

  As much as Miltank was ready to keep on fighting, a thought started forming about the possibility that either Whintey or Ursaring might notice that Miltank is gone and one of them could even be approaching the bathroom to see if Miltank is in there. No doubt in Miltank’s mind, if Whitney was to see her Miltank is in a vicious battle against Combusken, it’s possible that Combusken would try to attack the gym leader! As soon as Combusken had just picked herself up, she watched Miltank running out of the bathroom as the chicken rubbed her head and started giving chase, but when she made it outside, she couldn’t find Miltank anywhere. Combusken is confident that Miltank has to be around here somewhere, so she carefully searches the entire area, while being as stealthy as possible.

  From the right side of the building, there does seem to be a shadowy figure emerging, and they appeared to be holding something in their right hand. Coincidentally, that’s the exact same spot Combusken is headed towards while walking back carefully. They were just mere inches away from one another, and if it wasn’t for a loud crunch that Combusken suddenly heard, then she would’ve failed to turn her head back and get a split second imagine of the Pokémon that gave Combusken a hard punch, where Combusken’s head suddenly turned with a sharp left as large amount of blood left her beak! She almost lost her balance, but Combusken was able to pick herself up while wiping bits of the blood off her beak. With some quick action, Combusken was able to stop this figure form raising her right hand to bash something on Combusken’s head! Combusken glared up while gripping hard onto this figure’s pink arm to see that they were holding a rock with some flesh blood on it. Combusken continues to hold that same arm tightly before she’s able to use her strength to pull this figure over to headbash her nose! This figure started stumbling enough to where Combusken lunged over and socked this figure’s stomach with such a hard punch, that they had no choice but to drop the bloody rock on the ground!

  Once the rock was gone, Combusken let go of her grip and stared down at the figure that gave Combusken her busted beak. That figure of course, was none other than Miltank, who also wiped her nose right as Combusken lunged towards her opponent again! What was originally going to be a direct face punch, Miltank sidestep, but Combusken was still able to get a nice clean left hook right on Miltank’s jaw, but Miltank was able to grab Combusken’s right arm in time to pull the chicken over for a skull bush this time that made for a wonderful crunching sound when Combusken felt that skull bashing hitting her beak again! The sudden skull bashing also gave Combusken a whiplash as Miltank forced her opponent up so that she can go for a direct stomach kick as Combusken felt her legs trembling, and she soon started to struggle in removing her arm away from Miltank’s grip! As Miltank was looking to tighten her grip on Combusken’s arm, the cow started grunting and closing her eyes due to Combusken pecking around that face before she balled her left fist and sock Miltank on the jaw until Combusken finally felt her arm being freed!

  When the pecking finally stopped for a short while, Miltank opened her eyes and she quickly went on the defense by side stepping away when Combusken was about to peck at her face again! Miltank did all she could to block Combusken’s fiery attacks while walking back, but Combusken managed to punch Miltank’s chest, lungs, and even her stomach to push the cow further back. When Combusken was getting ready to go for another peck, Miltank grabbed the chicken’s head and started kicking Combusken’s own chest twice with her left knee. Combusken suddenly felt her body being turned around before Miltank lifted up Combusken’s head to give the chicken a nice uppercut to the chin! As Combusken stumbles back, Miltank rushed forward with another direct punch to same face as Combusken felt her body flinching around when she started stumbling back towards a shrub that had some thick thorns sticking out around, and Combusken felt those thorns poking and scratching up her feathery body!

  A sudden rustling noise alerted Combusken that Miltank had also just emerged into the same thorny shrub. While there wasn't much movement to be made without running the risk of having these thorns cut through the Pokémon's skin, this could provide some advantage for someone like Combusken, because she can dodge Miltank’s upcoming punch to her face, while trying to carefully jump on the cow and shove Miltank onto the thorns where Miltank began to close her eyes tightly and feel the sharp edges of those thorns piercing through her body! Luckily for Miltank, she’s slightly stronger than Combusken, so she can easily shove the chicken onto some thorns, where Combusken started screeching form just having the thorns cut through her feathers as the Pokémon kept on grunting in pain anytime they were shoving each other against the thorny shrubs!

  Combusken could try all she might, but she’s not beating Miltank in a strength contest anytime soon, especially with what little space there is to work with. She felt each of those thorns cutting through her body as Miltank kicked Combusken’s lower stomach right as the chicken screeched again after having a thorn poke her ass! Miltank then proceeded to shove the chicken further back before dealing another hard punch that almost made direct contact with Combusken’s right eye! Although Combusken wasn’t completely blind, she still shut that right eye and continued to hiss whenever those thorns came into contact with her body. Combusken’s constant stunning gave Miltank another opening shot to directly punch Combusken in the beak as Combusken finally tripped and fell on her ass towards the ground!

  On the plus side, Combusken came to a realization that she finally made out of the shrubs, but she could feel the fresh cuts inflicting pain within her body whenever she would move her arms. A rustling came through just as Combusken quickly picked herself up from the ground to see that Miltank also suffered some cuts across her body, mainly her stomach and arms, but just like Combusken, she’s willing to keep going. Moving closer to a slightly more open space within the forest, the Pokémon held up their fists before Combusken quickly sidestepped away from Miltank’s left hook, but Miltank also sidestepped some Combusken’s right hook as the Pokémon circled around some more before Combusken was looking to land another punch towards Miltank’s stomach, but Miltank grabbed that fist in time and started kicking Combusken’s lungs, sending the chicken back a couple of steps before Miltank tugged that arm again and kicked Combusken on the face this time where blood started spraying some more as Miltank quickly let go of Combusken’s arm so she can get some hard and fast punches towards the stomach! Miltank’s left and right fists started pressing down on Combusken’s stomach, with each punch pushing Combusken further back until a sudden shove slammed Combusken against a tree, where Miltank plans on keeping Combusken pinned for as long as possible!

  Miltank quickly moved her hands to where her thumbs began to press tightly onto Combusken’s neck. A sharp cluck escaped the chicken’s mouth before she quickly tried to free herself by prying Miltank’s arms away from her neck. The two women stared at each other as Miltank couldn't shake the feeling that Combusken was looking to bash her head against the cow. Her thought process was, that if she punched Combusken’s stomach again just as hard as last time, then Combusken wouldn’t have the strength to do a headbash, but that’s what Combusken wanted, because thanks to that punch, Combusken was able to grab the other arm to lift herself up and started pecking onto one of the cuts that Miltank suffered on her neck thanks to the thorns from earlier! That sudden peck inflict tons of pain onto Miltank as Combusken was able to free her own neck and dealt another hard peck to Miltank’s right cheek before Miltank had to make Combusken back off with another chest punch that push the chicken back a little!

  With Combusken wiping her beak and Miltank brushing her right cheek, a sudden buzzing sound started growing louder amongst the two Pokémon. Miltank looked above until Combusken noticed a slight worry in Miltank’s eyes! Combusken also gazed up until she alerted Miltank that something was flying behind her, only for Combusken to turn her head to see that a Beedrill has been hovering over behind her as well! The two Beedrills thought that both Miltank and Combusken were looking to wreck their nest as they’re getting their stingers ready to attack them in self defense!

  The one Beedrill that was right behind Miltank started charging at her right as Miltank turned her body and started grabbing that stinger as she carefully backed away, due to how CLOSE that Beedrill is from just placing that stinger within the center of Miltank’s neck! While Miltank was busy dodging the first Beedrill’s drill hands from stabbing her anywhere in the face, Combusken waited until the other Beedrill was ready to swoop in, only for Combusken to ducked in the nick on time as a sudden whoosh from those wings, meant that Beedrill had just missed her target! Using this moment, Combusken was preparing for a special move and so was Miltank when this other Beedrill’s stringer was beginning to get WAY closer than before! After dodging another stab from Beedrill’s hands, Miltank used her left arm to perform a rock smash attack directly at Beedrill’s stomach! The other Beedrill saw the pain within her partner’s eyes moments after the stomach punch had landed! Moments after Miltank’s stomach went through, both she and Beedrill heard the cries of the other Beedrill getting burned alive from Combusken’s own fire breath that she just unleashed!

  The one Beedrill that got his stomach punched, watched his partner’s body twitching rapidly as the fire started to turn her body into charcoal. This was Miltank’s chance to make this Beedrill go for a different target. She still has to keep in mind about the stinger, but with Beedrill distracted, Miltank grabbed his right arm, and she used her strength to pull on this Beedrill as hard as she can while keeping a perfect eye on that stinger as Beedrill suddenly realized he's being moved! Miltank stepped aside from the stinger just in time as she continued to pull Beedrill as far as possible before letting go, but she wasn’t done just yet! Miltank proceeded to jump as high as she can get before performing Iron Tail behind the Beedrill, where she watched this Beedrill flying straight towards his partner! Combusken just got done burning the other Beedrill as this Beedrill was badly burned to even do anything to prevent her partner from smacking into her! Combusken quickly ducked when she saw the two Beedrills coming her way. Instead, they ended up smacking together against a tree where both Miltank and Combusken kept a focused eye to see that only one Beedrill had recovered enough to keep on fighting.

  When they saw the wings beginning to flap, Beedrill looked directly at his partner's badly burnt body. Both Miltank and Combusken knew that they just made it personal for the other Beedrill, as he already decided on his next target! Combusken watched in horror, before she quickly grabbed Beedrill’s stringer, in the same fashion Miltank did, only this time Beedrill was FAR MORE close to Combusken’s beak! Using her own strength, Combusken was stalling for time to keep this Beedrill away from her, but a sharp cluck was let out as she felt the needle of the stinger coming into contact with her beak! However, there’s another Pokémon that Beedrill feels is also responsible for damaging his partner and Combusken knew this. After making sure her head was far enough away from Beedrill’s stinger, Combusken let go and quickly sidestep out of the way, leaving Miltank looking at this Beedrill in horror, as he was going MUCH too fast for Miltank to even try and stop him! The next best thing Miltank could do is to jump out of the way, but a sharp moo was let out as Miltank felt her left shoulder beginning to bleed! It seems that Beedrill flew as high as possible while keeping perfect aim at the target. Miltank held her damaged left shoulder while looking behind to realize that Beedrill is much too high for even someone like Miltank to reach. Her heart began to beat rapidly as Miltank felt like this was it when she heard Beedrill charging after her!

  She shut her eyes tightly, and proceeded to lower her head right as she felt someone using her head! At first she thought it was the Beedrill, but when Miltank a suddenly loud screech from behind, she turned her head in surprise to see that Beedrill had also been slammed hard against another tree, thanks to Miltank’s unlikely hero! Combusken stared at the Beedrill with pride. After she used Miltank’s head to jump directly at the Beedrill, Combusken fired up a strong focus punch right on Beedrill’s nose, hence the slight blood shown on Beedrill’s face, and the slowly growing black eye on the right side of Beedrill’s face, that was from Combusken taking the best aim at Beedrill’s right eye with a strong peck. It seems that this Beedrill had also been knocked out cold, and as Combusken turned around, Miltank was still very confused on why Combusken even bothered saving her. Well it turns out it wasn’t much of a save, as Miltank quickly found out when Combusken came up behind to slash Miltank’s damaged left shoulder even further! The cow’s body flinched before a sudden gasped for air was let out when Combusken chokehold Miltank with her left arm as Miltank looked behind and quickly realized that Combusken wanted to be the one to use Beedrill’s own stinger to stab Miltank on the back of her neck!

  Her survival instincts started kicking in again as Miltank worked in a fast elbow hit against Combusken’s chest! Combusken grunted, but she still dragged Miltank over until Combusken was ready to grab those horns, but a sudden crack to Combusken’s cheekbones stunned the chicken enough to where Miltank made a nice elbow attack towards Combusken’s right eye! With Combusken stumbling back, Miltank quickly turned around, where an off screen cluck can be heard when Miltank proceeded to ram her head against Combusken’s chest, as she started pinning the chicken onto the same tree that Beedrill was lying behind! With Miltank suddenly grabbing Combusken by the head, the cow also started grunting again when Combusken made a tight grip on Miltank’s shoulders, but a sudden cough quickly stunned Combuksen as the chicken spat out a nice amount of blood right after Miltank kicked her lungs with her right knee! Combusken felt a sudden pull by Mitlank as she opened her eyes and realized that Miltank now wanted to stab Combusken with Beedrill’s stinger! If there was ever a need for Combusken to concentrate, it’s right now! Before long, Combusken forced Miltank to let go of her head right after a bellowing moo echoed throughout the whole forest thanks to Combusken using her overheat to burn Miltank’s wounds across her body! Combusken wasted no time to shut Miltank up by ramming straight onto the cow’s nose where Combusken started gaining closer and began to fire up another strong headbash that suddenly crunched up Miltank’s nose even further! Even with Combusken turning off her overheat move, Miltank was hissing non-stop from feeling those burns entering her body, and she was beyond furious! A sudden loud crack to Combusken’s beak came through on impact thanks to Miltank’s strong skull bash as Miltank mustered up the strength to still grab Combusken while the Pokémon started moving away from the Beedrill right after Combusken used another headbash on Miltank as the Pokémon felt themselves suddenly tripping close to the edge with Combusken being the one pushing Miltank back fruther! Miltank tried to get back up after using her left knee to kick Combusken’s right gut, but Combusken charged and pecked Miltank’s nose once more before Miltank pulls her Combusken over towards her as the women started falling and tumbling down a steep hill once they pass through a bush!

  As they tumbled down, both Miltank and Combusken kept their bodies as close as possible as they felt a couple of rocks hitting their faces and backs when rolling down, and when there weren’t any rocks damaging their bodies, both Pokémon would still attack each other, with Miltank headbutting Combusken’s beck, to Combusken uppercutting Miltank’s jaw, to Miltank punching back with a left hook under Combusken’s chin, then Miltank would grunt from Combusken pecking Miltank’s neck, until finally off screen again, there was a loud splash in the distance. Looking ahead, the hill finally comes to a stop towards a river, and now both Miltank and Combusken were submerged in this water with both Pokémon holding their breaths and each other before Miltank quickly worked in a left hook punch that almost made Combusken take the water in her mouth! Miltank quickly tries to reach the surface fast as possible! Combusken didn’t even get too far to quickly swim after Miltank as the cow actually made it to the surface first and she started coughing the water out of her lungs!

  Miltank: Ahhh! *COUGH COUGH* … Mil… Mil…

  Unfortunately for Miltank, Combusken was just as fast in coming back up on the surface, and she couldn’t have picked a better spot to grab onto Miltank’s horns and suddenly pull the cow back over as there wasn’t much Miltank could do to try and free herself. Miltank started fearing the worst when Combusken began applying force onto Miltank’s neck with her left arm!

  Miltank: *COUGH* Hungk…!

  During the struggle, Miltank suddenly realized that this river has a current, and it’s pushing the Pokémon backwards! Miltank wanted to come up with a plan, but she didn’t have much time, especially not with Combusken already going forward to dunk Miltank’s head back into the river, where a scheming smirk grew on her face upon watching the bubbles forming up against the section where Miltank was being drowned! Snickering to herself, Combusken looked ahead to see a log in plain side, acting as a sort of bridge for the river. This gave the chicken an idea. Combusken carefully pushed Miltank while letting going of her chokehold in order for her tights to trade places by wrapping themselves around Miltank’s neck as Combusken started swimming towards the log, with Miltank being dragged as she felt her body rapidly declining the longer she has to hold her breath in! It was a bit of a miracle that after a sudden tight squeeze to that neck, Miltank was finally let free as she slowly opened her eyes to see a blur of Combusken swimming up on the surface. Miltank quickly swam back up herself until she realized she was holding onto a log and it just so happens that Combusken had just climbed onto that said log as she stood there waiting to see if Miltank was going to join her. Miltank found a flat enough surface edge to climb out of the river, as she climbed on the other side of the log and stared at Combusken's taunting expression while balling up her fists. Both ladies began rushing towards each other, where Miltank suddenly felt her head getting shot to the left from Combusken’s strong sucker punch, but Miltank sidestepped in time to prevent Combusken from trying to grab her horns again, just as Combusken also sidestepped in time before Miltank had the chance to kick Combusken in the shin!

  Their sudden movements has started rocking the log enough to where Combusken almost lost her footing, so she quickly grabbed onto Miltank’s whole body, right as Miltank almost slipped off herself, so she too also grabbed onto Combusken, where the chicken started clucking after feeling Miltank’s arms crushing her back as Combusken was looking to try to lift Miltank up, but all she got was another hard headbash against her skull from the cow! As Miltank started shoving Combusken towards the middle of the log, a couple of rocks started to roll off the ends of the log, but the Pokémon were too busy stumbling back and forth as Combusken could feel her feet about to slip off thanks Miltank looking to throw the chicken back into the water, but luckily a fast two peck to Miltank’s face, force the cow to stumble back again! However, Miltank’s strong arms came back to crush Combusken’s back in order to stop this chicken from pecking anymore of Miltank’s face! One sudden movement was enough for the rest of the rocks on the right side of the log to plunge into the river, and now with one support gone, Miltank suddenly felt this log beginning to turn to the right. Combusken used Miltank’s sudden distraction to grab onto the cow’s horns to sharply peck her nose! This caused Miltank to turn her body to the right as the weight of Miltank’s body helped the rocks from the other side of log to splash into the river, and now with both ends of the log suddenly gone, even Combusken couldn’t ignore the problem much longer, as a sudden splash and a violently rock basically pushed Miltank to where she slammed her body right on top of Combusken!

  With the log gently swaying up and down alongside the river, Miltank was the first to open her eyes, followed quickly by Combusken as the ladies realized they’re being carried away by the log that’s now floating along with the current. Miltank quickly found out that she can't fully pick herself up, because even just the slightest movement would cause this log to start rolling both Miltank and Combusken back underwater. Combusken felt the sudden rock before Miltank quickly rocks the log back the other way as the water started splashing on their faces, blinding the girls for a split second, but that slight rocking gave Combusken a new idea on how she can get rid of Miltank. When she grabbed Miltank’s horns, the cow let out a loud moo from the slight peck that was WAY too close towards Miltank’s right eye! Mitlank grabbed Combusken’s neck where the chicken held her breath as both Pokémon were looking to headbutt each other! Combusken got her hit in the quickest, as Miltank bellowed out another moo when Combusken actually did peck Miltank’s right eye! This gave Combusken a chance to drive a hard enough uppercut to the right side of Miltank’s chin, where the log started to roll, but Miltank quickly squeezed Combusken’s neck and drove a harder sucker punch to the Combusken’s right cheek, making the chicken spit some blood before the log started rolling back the other way, so Combusken had to drive a harder uppercut to Miltank’s chin as all these ladies were doing was just rocking this log back and forth until one of them felt it was safe enough to jump off! Their fists started carrying more weight between each punch, with Combusken feeling her head snapping hard to the left where a loud and clear crack was heard after Miltank dealt a VERY hard blow to Combusken’s right cheek! Miltank quickly switches things up by having her other hand also squeezing down on Combusken’s neck where Combusken suddenly gasped for air while having the back of her head slam against the log! However, Combusken was still holding her own weight in as she switches her hands to where her right hand held onto Miltank’s horn and her left fist made a nice clean punch where Combusken heard that sudden crack in Miltank’s nose! Mitlank’s head shot back a bit before another direct punch had Miltank’s blood being sprayed around her nose as her head started to slump.

  Miltank (Heavy panting): M-Mil…! AAGGGHH!!!

  Combusken was making another risky move, but from the results, it’s a risk she’s willing to take! Combusken had just started wrapping her thighs around Miltank’s back, where her talons started digging down Miltank’s pink fur! The pain of sharp talons helped Combusken in freeing her neck as Miltank was losing her grip! Combusken almost successfully threw Miltank off the log when the current started getting stronger and a huge bump shot Miltank’s body forward, but the cow quickly grabbed on Combusken’s head to stop herself from being thrown back into the river, and with a direct strong punch to Combusken’s forehead, Combusken responded back with another direct face punch towards Miltank’s nose as more blood started dripping onto the chicken’s feathery body! As the current began getting rougher, the log started rocking these Pokémon more and more violently! The constant splashing across their faces, made it slightly harder for the ladies to get a good hit in! Even Combusken has had a couple of close calls of getting thrown off the log herself, but with her talons gripping onto Miltank’s back, it helped Combusken keep her opponent stunned enough to fired two direct punches to the face as the log began to roll once more, only for Miltank to slam Combusken’s head and get in a good spot to where she work in two harder punches in between Combusken’s eyes as Miltank roll the log to the other side!

  Blood began to spray across their faces, their eyes were blacking from all the punches as their fists also started getting bruises from the hard blows that are still being traded against one another, and the log is STILL being rolled back and forth! Combusken sees that Miltank can’t keep up with the chicken’s strong attacks as Combusken’s sudden punch to Miltank’s jaw cracked a few teeth loose as Combusken heard the Miltank’s heavy panting becoming more and more clear. Combusken was just about to look for a piece of land close enough to jump to, but Miltank had to remind Combusken that she’s still in this fight as her grip to Combusken’s neck is just AS strong as Combusken’s grip is to Miltank’s back. As Combusken began to held her breath, she dragged Miltank over for another strong punch where Miltank closed her eyes, and then another punch came through where Miltank’s nose started bleeding once more, but as she kept that grip onto Combusken’s neck, so Combusken decided to go dirty with this next attack, and it seems Miltank has the same idea even before Combusken started grabbing both horns. They closed their eyes before charging their heads right up against each other!

  *CRACK*

  With that sudden crack, Miltank’s hand slowly lost its grip as Miltank felt her eyesight getting blurry. That was the same experience for Combusken as she laid on her head on the log while letting go of Miltank’s horns. Miltank also released her grip around Combusken’s neck, as the cow gently slump into Combusken’s body. Both Pokémon felt like they needed a rest, but eventually, Combusken’s eyes started opening up as she heard something roaring from behind.

  Combusken: Nnngghh… Mmf… !

  Combusken’s loud screeching woke up Miltank as the cow noticed the water getting WAY too rough when looking below. When her vision started becoming clearer, Miltank looked straight ahead, as she felt that her heart was about to stop when both she and Combusken realized where their log was heading straight towards!!!

  Few Minutes Later

  *BEEP BEEP BEEP*

  Miltank: Mm… Mi… Mil…?

  Mike: Thank Arceus, you finally got your strength back.

  Miltank quickly came alert as soon as she saw a middle aged human male walking into a tent, with a glass of what looks to be some kind of berry juice. When Miltank noticed the stethoscope around the human’s shoulders, she felt at ease and looked around to realized she been brought into some kind of recovery tent, where Miltank’s right shoulder has been hooked up to an IV bag and her heart monitor has been keeping track of her steady heartbeat.

  Mike: You and that other Pokémon took one heck of a fall. As soon as I heard your friend screaming, I looked up and saw a log falling off the edge of a waterfall with my binoculars.

  The doctor took a seat right next to Miltank as he explained his version of events. His re-telling helped Miltank remember her version of events, as she does recall the log she was on being dragged towards the edge of a waterfall moments before she blacked out.

  Mike: Here, drink this, but only a couple of sips.

  Miltank graciously took the berry juice and she got Mike to chuckle when he saw Miltank’s eyes lighting up after taking her small sip of berry juice. He carefully checks on Miltank’s body and her blood pressure as Miltank drinks some more of the berry juice before realizing there was an empty cot standing right across from where Miltank is laying.

  Miltank: Mil?

  Mike: Hmm…? Oh, that was where your friend was resting after I managed to find the two of you floating across the river. You were lucky the current had gone soft enough for me to drag the two of you to safety. *Chuckling* Your friend seems to have a bit of a temper to her, but she eventually cooperated until I felt she had recovered enough to be set free.

  Miltank used the clues the doctor had given to figure out the other Pokémon that stayed in the tent with her. Once the cow had a pretty good idea who that Pokémon was, she asked the doctor about Combusken.

  Mike: Last time I saw her, she was lurking around the campsite keeping a sharp eye on this tent. I’m guessing she’s waiting to make sure you’ve recovered enough to continue on with whatever it was you two were doing. … Hmmm… Based on your heart rate, and the conditions of your body… … You seem to be recovered enough to where you’re free to leave the tent whenever. Of course, you can stay a little longer if you feel like it’s necessary, just be careful about falling into any more rivers if you choose to leave. It was nice meeting you.

  Miltank nodded her head while Mike gently removed the needle under Miltank’s right arm and placed a bandage over it while he also turned off the heart monitor and allowed Miltank to finish up her juice. Miltank thanked the doctor for his help, but she knows the moment she walks out of that tent, Combusken is going to be out there waiting for her. Tanking a deep breath, Miltank clutched her right fist while undoing the covers as she got up from her cot and slowly walked towards the entrance as she scanned the campsite from outside the tent. So far Combusken hasn’t pop up to try and peck one of Miltank’s eyes out, but the cow was still on high alert as she walked out of the tent and slowly walked across the area, scanning almost every inch Miltank can think of as she starts walked backwards while turning her head in all directions.

  Miltank became so busy focusing on what might come in front of her, that she seems to be unaware of a familiar figure creeping up behind her from the left side of the recovery tent. This same figure started using her fire power to heat up an iron skillet as they were careful enough not to step on too many twigs and leaves to give their presence away. As Miltank continue to walk backwards, a fiery chicken waited until Miltank became just close enough for Combusken to break a twig right as Miltank turned around after Combusken let out a loud enough cluck as she swung that iron skillet right at Miltank’s face! A wicked grin appeared on Combusken’s face when Miltank spit up a large amount of blood from the heat of that skillet as Combusken managed to bring Miltank down to the ground! The chicken wasted no time when it came to smacking Miltank on the back of her head with that same skillet! She stunned the cow long enough for Combusken to use her left talon to grab the bandages wrapped around Miltank’s back as she punched the skillet to cause more damage to Miltank’s head before another wicked smirked appeared on Combusken’s beak when she felt her Heat Wave coming through!

  Miltank: MMMMOOOOO!!! UGH!!!

  Combusken quickly stopped Miltank’s painful cries with another bash to the back of her head with that same skillet! Naturally, Miltank’s defensive skills started kicking in as Combusken felt a strong enough grip happening to her right arm, so after Combusken used that skillet one last time to try and knock Miltank out cold, she threw that same skillet away before grabbing Miltank by the horns as Combusken also used the bandages to lift Miltank up while Combusken prepares her right arm to give Miltank a VERY tight chokehold!

  As soon as Miltank felt Combusken’s right arm pressing on her neck, the cow quickly went for a strong elbow attack that made a nice “SMACK!” sound against Combusken’s right cheek! Miltank almost made Combusken lose her balance, but the chicken was able to grip onto Miltank’s neck again even tighter while dragging the cow around the campsite! While Miltank tries to free herself from Combusken’s grasp, she was able to work in another strong elbow attack that open up some of Combusken’s previous bruises as Miltank managed to make Combusken spit some blood out before Combusken tried to halt Miltank’s attacks by using smokescreen to cover the area surrounding the two Pokémon!

  Miltank: *COUGH COUGH*

  The elbow attacks might’ve stopped, but Combusken became too over confident into thinking Miltank doesn’t have a back plan to overcome the smokescreen effect! Maybe a strong back butt to Combusken’s beak might provide enough proof to Combusken that Miltank is still able to fight! The ladies began to turn around as Combusken felt herself about to trip again when another strong back butt shoved the chicken closer towards the recovery tent as Miltank did her best to steady her breath while being dragged around! Miltank had hoped that this next strong back butt might be enough to free herself as the cow did hear something completely ripped once she shoved Combusken right in the recovery tent as the ladies landed right on the cot and bounced off that said cot, with Miltank gasping for air as Combusken STILL has her right arm pressing down on the her neck while rolling off the cot with the chicken as both ladies were now on their knees as Combusken managed to make Miltank spit some blood out while she tries again to lift Miltank from the ground, but a strong painful cluck can be heard within the area once Miltank managed to bite Combusken’s arm while driving another strong elbow attack before both ladies started shoving each other away, with Miltank coughing wildly on the ground, and Combusken hissing while standing up!

  As soon as Miltank stood back up, the Pokémon raised their fists and slowly walked towards each other while glaring at one another. Combusken fixed her neck while using her talons to dig at the ground. With that taunting look from Miltank, Combusken clucked and lunged straight towards Miltank where the cow easily sidestep an upcoming left hook from Combusken, only for Miltank to start uppercutting Combusken with her own left fist, making Combusken spit up as a sudden roundhouse from Miltank also drove the chicken back a couple of steps! Miltank took one look at the tube from the IV bag before she disconnected it and used that same tube to start tying a noose around Combusken’s neck!

  Much like what Miltank did to Combusken’s chokehold, Combusken also worked fast in using her fire ability to carefully melt the tube around her neck as she started back-butting Miltank’s own nose until that tube finally came off! Before Miltank had the chance to think of a new strategy, Combusken grabbed her horns from behind, and with a painful moo, Combusken succeeded in making Miltank back off after her right talon managed to scratch her udders as Combusken quickly turned around and Miltank’s face would soon be met with plenty of punches from Combusken, with one direct punch to her nose from Combusken’s right fist, to another lefthook with Combusken’s other fist. The chicken also started that beating on Miltank’s damaged udders where Miltank spit up and felt her body getting weaker as Combusken also managed to punch her lungs while grabbing Miltank’s right horn to lift the cow and sucker punch her in the face again!

  The only thing that's keeping Miltank from falling back down to the ground was the pole from outside the tent, as Miltank can feel the breeze from outside blowing across her injured back. With a confident expression, Combusken lunges forward again, as Miltank’s weak state played a part in trying to deliver a weak punch to Combusken’s face, only for Combusken to grab onto Miltank’s right arm to pull the cow over so that Combusken can show Miltank what a strong punch feels like as Combusken grin grew bigger when she heard that actual crack to Miltank’s jawline after her fist deliever that strong punch to begin with! The sudden force of that punch was enough to make Miltank let go of the pole as she started stumbling back outside with Combusken coming in fast with her next few punches! Miltank’s head shot to the left, where some spit left her mouth and another direct punch to chest, caused Miltank’s legs to start trembling as she felt her whole body about to go down again! Combusken decided to have some fun and let Miltank have a false hope that a simple punch was going to save her life! Combusken grabbed Miltank’s left fist with ease and even gave it a nice twist that had Miltank shut her eyes tightly as she felt that strong grip crushing her left fist! On the plus side for Combusken, she got Miltank to stand back up enough as Miltank tries to free her fist, but her sudden pull had only made things worse because it gave Combusken the free range to pull Miltank over until she came close enough for Combusken to scratch above her udders some more before she pulled Miltank over to kick the cow on the stomach with Combusken’s left knee!

  With Miltank being completely stunned, Combusken took advantage by grabbing Mitank around her arms and using as much of her strength to lift her enemy up from the ground! Miltank tries to grip herself onto Combusken and use her weight to make the chicken drop her, but all Combusken needs to do is to peck on Miltank’s nose and force Miltank to move back enough until Combusken’s fast agility would eventually shove Miltank's back against something hard and wooden! The sudden impact of that slam caused Miltank’s head to suddenly lay itself against the wooden surface!

  Combusken kept a watchful eye on Miltank while looking up to see that their brawl has led to Combusken shoving Miltank onto a picnic table, which feature some tasty looking food, such as a nice homemade looking pie, some corn, hotdogs, along with a ketchup bottle and two beer bottles. While she gaze at the variety of items on the table, Combusken just felt Miltank’s body trying to pick itself up with the help of the picnic table behind her. As soon as Miltank’s left hand started grabbing onto the table behind her, that’s when Combusken grabbed her right horn as Miltank saw Combusken preparing her left fist! Miltank’s left hand scrambled around the table, until she was able to find the ketchup bottle. She grabbed it and quickly opened up the cap so that Miltank could squirt the ketchup right into Combusken’s eyes, where Combusken clucked in annoyance as Miltank quickly used this distraction to deliver a very strong kick to Combusken’s crotch in order to shove the chicken away from her body! Combusken clucked again while covering her recently damaged crotch as she quickly tries to wipe the ketchup from her eyes!

  That fiery looking for Combusken eyes started glaring right at Miltank after the cow had managed to drive a hard sucker punch to Combusken’s face! The ladies walked around the area with Miltank balling up her fist before she reached over to grab Combusken by her head! By that time, Combusken had just finished wiping most of the ketchup from her eyes, so she too was able to grab Miltank by her left horn this time, as both Pokémon worked fast in delivering a hard punch to each other’s faces! Combusken felt herself spitting up as another strong left hook crushed her break some more! While Combusken’s own uppercut made Miltank’s own head jump up as both ladies lost their grips for a short while, but Miltank became the first to regain her grip after kicking Combusken straight at the chicken’s stomach while delivering another strong upper kick to the jaw right after Combusken started stumbling back from kick to the stomach! Miltank quickly followed Combusken as she almost shoved the chicken onto the picnic table this time, but Combusken was able to stop within a few inches away from the table! The chicken quickly grabs Miltank’s right arm and twists it as Miltank grunts, but she quickly starts dodging Combusken’s beak by moving her head left to right!

  Miltank felt the wisps and the swooshing of Combusken’s beak getting dangerously close to her face! Miltank started to squint her eyes for protection as Combusken managed to get some pecks onto Miltank’s face while keeping the cow’s right arm at her mercy! Miltank figures this is now or never, so she used all of her strength within her left arm to deliver a powerful punch to Combusken’s lungs, and Miltank’s punch had succeeded in stopping Combusken’s pecks while freeing her own right arm, which the cow shook it for a few minutes before that right arm wanted revenge by giving Combusken’s jaw a beautiful uppercut that sent the chicken flying back to the table once more! Combusken wiped the blood off her nose thanks to that uppercut as she started running towards Miltank, but Miltank’s own strong body came through again when she rammed herself against Combusken, and her strong head smacked against that beak hard enough for Combusken to be stunned as Miltank suddenly lifts the chicken, and with a loud audible SMACK, Miltank was able to slammed the back of Combusken’s head onto the picnic table!

  Miltank had just lifted up her head right as Comubsken started opening up her weary eyes only to suddenly find herself clucking right as Miltank grabbed Combusken’s right arm and started pinning that down onto the picnic table while stretching it!

  Combuksen’s head suddenly whipped itself back from the brutal face punch by Miltank. More blood splatter across Combusken’s face as she turned her to the left and spotted the homemade pie right near her body! Just as Miltank was about to go for another punch, Combusken grabbed that pie and splattered it onto Miltank’s face, freeing her right arm as Miltank felt the custard from the pie getting into her eyes! With Miltank now distracted Combusken looked at the table again and spotted another useful item that is sure to help the chicken out!

  While Miltank is busy wiping the custard off her eyes, she suddenly hears the sound of a glass object shattering nearby. Miltank just BARELY escaped a sudden swipe of broken glass from a beer bottle when she finally got her vision back! Miltank glares at Combusken and her weapon of choice, as the Pokémon circled for a bit before Combusken lunges over to try and slice Miltank on the neck, but Miltank grabs that arm just in time and gives it a little twist! Combusken does cluck from the arm twist, but she’s not dropping the weapon anytime soon, as evident by Miltank needing to do a quick dodge before that glass shard comes anywhere near her face or her chin! Miltank even tries to beat Combusken’s body around, alternating between the chicken’s chest and face, but Combusken can still throw punches too, as her left fist knocks a good amount of wind out of Miltank after she punches her lungs! The two Pokémon would eventually stumble back to the picnic table as Miltank was able to at least put some distance between herself and Combusken after she kicked the chicken’s lungs!

  However, Miltank can see that Combusken STILL has the broken bottle in her hand. She frantically searches for a weapon of her own and suddenly spots another beer bottle still intact on the table! Miltank took one look at that bottle for no more than two seconds before turning back to Combusken’s evil grin. With a fiery cluck, Combusken rushes on over as Miltank looks straight ahead! Eight as Combusken was about to aim for the chin, Miltank was able to grab that arm again in the nick of time! Though, there was a little fear in the cow’s eyes due to how CLOSE that shard was getting to her chin! With no time to waste, Miltank went for a much stronger grip and gave Combusken’s left arm another twist! Combusken started screeching before Miltank cut her off by kicking her lungs much more stronger this time! One minute, Combusken felt herself doubling over from the kick, and the next thing that happened, Miltank grabs Combusken’s head while keeping her left arm twisting as Combusken’s eyes went wide right before Miltank protect her eyes when glass shards started flying in different directions!

  By the time Miltank was able to open her eyes again, she caught Combusken dropping her broken beer bottle, thanks to the force of Miltank’s brutal head slam she did on Combusken. It felt like forever for Miltank, but to Combusken it felt like a millisecond had gone by when her face took a nasty hit of that other beer bottle that shattered right onto Combusken’s face. The pink cow panted heavily as she let go of Combusken and walked back. The chicken’s legs were still moving slightly as Miltank saw Combusken’s left arm moving very slowly until it touched the table.

  Combusken: *Huff huff* *C-COUGH* *Huff*

  It was difficult for Combusken to open her eyes. Anytime she felt her vision coming back, it would be a blur again due to the many glass shards on Combusken’s face stinging her body as Miltank watched Combusken trying to pick herself up. By the time Combusken finally got her vision back, the first thing she saw was a nice splosh of blood mixed in with the beer that spread across the table.

  Combusken: *Huff… … Huff*

  Miltank took another step back when Combusken slowly lifted her head up first as her knees also began to pick themselves up while Combusken turned her head to look straight at Miltank! The cow stood her ground, as she can see from Combuksen’s eyes the chicken is looking for revenge! Combusken’s left hand began to search around the table until she felt a broken glass shard. Carefully gripping it with her left hand, Miltank saw the fire in Combusken’s eyes as the chicken finally stood back up and glared at Miltank.

  Miltank took one look at the sharp blade from that glass shard, as Combusken started lunging towards Miltank! Her left arm was getting ready to slice that shard onto Miltank’s face, until all of a sudden, her body had just stop, and Combusken could feel that her eyes were fighting to stay open, but a sudden punch made Combusken spit up as her eyes started closing tightly while Combusken stumbled a couple of steps back while covering her chest with her right hand!

  Combusken: *Huff…* *Snarling*

  When Combusken opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was Miltank holding up a glass shard of her own. As Combusken’s vision slowly comes back, she also spots a little splosh of blood featured on the tip of the blade as Combusken uncovers her chest to reveal the nice cut Miltank had left moment before her punch helped open that wound up some more! Combusken licked the blood from her fingers while glaring at Miltank as both Pokémon held their sharp shard directly at each other. As soon as Combusken began to taunt Miltank for an attack, the cow rushed over and so did Combusken as both of their shards came into contact with each other! Low growls and snarls were being exchanged as the Pokémon were trying their best to get the next cut in with each other!

  Miltank suddenly had to shut her right eye again when a strong peck came through, causing the cow to stumble back to the table as she tried to get her vision back! She was stunned enough for Combusken to grab Miltank’s right arm, preventing Miltank from using her shard, as Miltank felt her body flinching from a fast slice from Combusken’s own glass shard! As the chicken kept on twisting Miltank’s right arm to make Miltank drop her glass shard, Miltank suddenly felt herself flying back towards the picnic table when Combusken’s sharp beak began pecking the cut on Miltan's chin as Combusken was able to make Miltank lose her shard after slamming her right arm against the same table!

  Miltank suddenly felt her heart racing when she felt Combusken’s glass shard coming into contact with her right cheek while struggling to break free again! Eventually, when Miltank was able to open her eyes again, she grabbed onto Combusken’s left arm and tried to give it a hard enough twist! Combusken grunts, but she grins evilly at Miltank as Combusken’s sharp beak starts making the cut she left under Miltank’s chin even worse! The pink cow shuts her eyes tightly again while her own grip starts to weaken really fast! With to time to waste, the only thing Miltank can think of is to give Combusken’s ribs a nice kick with her left knee! With this, Miltank was able to get Combusken to stop her pecking right as she dodged the sharp blade and was able to grip on that wrist again, and this time Miltank was able to do a better twist that had Combusken stun for a quick moment. Combusken even lost her grip on Miltank’s right arm, but she quickly gain that arm back right before Miltank was able to grab Combusken’s other arm, and with a firm enough pull, both Miltank and Combusken managed to bring each other close enough to where Miltank closed her eyes again from the impact of Combusken’s head bashing against the cow’s nose. Miltank felt herself being tossed by Combusken where she had no choice but to let go of Combusken’s left arm, giving the chicken free range to get even more sharp swipes across Miltank’s face!

  Miltank recovered just in time for the cow to narrowly avoid getting another slash from Combusken’s sharp glass! Miltank tilted her head to the left while walking back as she glared at Combusken’s scheming smirk before she tries her luck again at another slash! Miltank felt a sudden tug on her left arm, but while Miltank narrowly avoids another sharp slash, Combusken saw her opponent closing her eyes after getting a little cut on Miltank’s left cheek. With another grin, Combusken began to feel VERY overconfident, because she let go of Miltank’s left arm of her own free will, and if Combusken never decided to beat on Miltank's lungs to stun the cow some more, then Miltank probably wouldn’t have noticed that she’s been free, but as Miltank stumble back, she realized that Combusken is not restraining her anymore!

  After shaking her head just in time to recover, Combusken began to lunge towards Miltank, with the chicken’s left arm extending out to finally get her slash in, but Miltank was even faster in grabbing Combusken’s left wrist as a sharp painful gasped escape Combusken’s breath, Miltank saw Combusken’s right eye twitching as the chicken coughed wildly against the ground while her legs began to tremble! Combusken’s weapon had almost dropped out of her hand when Miltank’s strong kick to the chicken’s lungs came through! While Combusken was still trying to recover for her first kick, the chicken felt a sudden tug, and another sharp gasp, along with a large amount of spit, mixed with some blood flew out of the chicken’s mouth when Miltank’s second strong kick made in-between Combusken’s lungs and stomach! Mixed in with Miltank’s strong grip against Combusken’s left wrist, Miltank had finally succeeded in forcing Combusken to drop her weapon onto the ground!

  With nothing else protecting Combusken from Miltank’s wrath, the cow grabs onto Combusken’s head with her left hand, as Miltank uses her right fist to drive a nice sucker punch right on Combusken’s face! The force of that punch caused Combusken to stumble back while turning half way around. Miltank grabs that head again with her same left hand, while forcing Combusken to turn around some more! Before Combusken had the chance to pry Miltank’s arm away, the sound of Miltank driving an uppercut on Combusken caused the chicken to stumble back some more! Combusken had just wiped some of the blood of her beak, when she quickly saw Miltank rushing over towards her, and with a powerful jump kick to Combusken’s chest, Combusken’s body suddenly flew back until she felt her hands touching something behind her as Combusken’s legs were still trembling across the ground!

  Miltank took one look at the object behind Combusken. It’s an RV trailer, and from the looks of it, the trailer seems to be attached to some kind of dark green pick-up truck.

  And it seems Combusken just realized what was behind her before she turned her gaze back to Miltank. Miltank started moving around the same speed as Combusken while keeping a firm glare at the chicken. Combusken used her left hand to scramble around the RV until she was able to find the door, and as luck would have it, it’s unlocked! With a click to the door handle, Miltank stared at Combusken’s little grin before she quickly made her way inside! Without having much choice, Miltank decided to follow Combusken in that RV trailer. While Miltank wanted to rush in, it’s a good thing the cow decided to still be cautious, otherwise, she would’ve had her faith decided very quickly had Miltank not jump out of the way in time before Comubsken had the chance to stab Miltank with a sharp knife!

  Miltank felt her heart was about to give out, but she still stared down at Combusken’s taunting expression while holding the knife in her right hand. Taking a deep breath, Miltank bravely makes her way in, and her skillful focus allowed the cow to narrowly avoid another dangerous stab as Miltank ducked under Combusken’s knife while grabbing the chicken as Combusken suddenly felt herself being rammed straight onto a wooden cabinet, where the sudden impact to Combuskne’s back not only forced the chicken to drop the knife, but it also rocked the RV enough to where the door suddenly slammed shut, trapping the two Pokémon in the trailer!

  However, the Pokémon could care less about the situation they’re in, as Combusken started grabbing onto Miltank right as the chicken grunted when Miltank started crushing Combusken’s back and she managed to get some headbutts onto Combusken’s beak as Combusken felt another impact onto the wooden cabinet!

  As soon as Combusken started opening her eyes, she followed Miltank’s eyes and found a plate right behind where Combusken was at. Combusken had a feeling what that plate was going to be used for, so she quickly grabbed and twisted Miltank’s left wrist until the chicken was able to give Miltank’s ribs a nice kick with Combusken’s right knee! Feeling that Miltank was stunned enough, Combusken went for a combo hook on Miltank’s face, pushing the cow back a little as Miltank wiped the spit off her lips before she looked ahead in time to see Combusken getting ready to use her beak again!

  Miltank kept a REAL good focus until her hands had just barely caught Combusken’s beak right before the chicken had the chance to peck Miltank’s damaged chin! Summoning up her best strength, Combusken started screeching her lungs out when Miltank forced Combusken to open up that beak some more with Miltank’s own two hands! Combusken spat a good amount of blood when Miltank managed to kick Combusken’s lungs as hard as possible! Some of the blood landed on the floor, the rest of the blood even managed to spray across Miltank’s udders! But if Miltank thought this was enough to stun Combusken, then she had underestimated what an angry chicken could do once her beak had been finally let go! As soon as her beak was free from Miltank’s grasps, Combusken still used her fast reflex to start pecking around Miltank’s face! Miltank started mooing while backing up as Combusken readied her fists to try and get Miltank in a right hook, but Miltank was able to see Combusken balling up her right fist just in time as she managed to side-step Combusken’s upper right hook while getting Combusken in Miltank’s own upper hook shot to put some distance between the two Pokémon! Just as Miltank began to wipe some of the bruises from her eyes and nose, her ears alerted the cow that someone was walking towards their area.

  Mike: Yeah it’s pretty weird, one moment my equipment and my snacks were all intact and then the next thing I know, some of it got badly damaged, almost as if a brawl a suddenly took place in that area…

  Combusken also started to stay alert when she heard the truck door opening and shutting as Mike put the keys in the injection.

  Mike: Heh, yeah… That’s why I’m heading back to the Pokémon center for another IV tube, just in case there are other Pokémon that need some medical attention…

  Both Miltank and Combusken heard the engine revving up as Mike put the truck into drive and once he placed his foot on the gas paddle, both Miltank and Combusken started rocking with RV trailer as Mike finished up his conversation on the phone while making a sharp turn around the campground. That sudden sharp turn was enough to tilt the RV slightly to where Combusken started falling until she felt her back coming into contact with Mike’s electric stove, where Combusken’s left hand grabbed the handle and turned the stove on. Combusken looked ahead to see that the tilting of the RV has also forced Miltank to fall straight towards Combusken! Combusken prepared her fists when she saw how fast Miltank was approaching her opponent! One good punch directed at Miltank’s stomach had the cow double over before Combusken’s upper left hook to Miltank’s face shot her head up as it turned to the left! As soon as Miltank felt her right horn being grabbed, she looked straight at Combusken’s growing grin right before the chicken managed to get a nice sweep kick to Miltank’s right hoof, giving Combusken an opportunity to get behind Miltank as she starts grabbing the other horn and pulls Miltank a couple of steps as Miltank suddenly realized what Combusken is planning when looking straight ahead!

  It was all a bit rushed, but Miltank somehow managed to buy enough time by grabbing onto the stove itself, as Miltank made sure her hands didn't touch the hot surface! After feeling another hard yank from Combusken, Miltank used that same stove to jump back enough while using her left hoof to kick Combusken right on the stomach! The sudden force of Miltank’s kick managed to stunned Combusken for a good while, enough for Miltank to get another great kick onto Combusken’s own chest! The chest kick was enough to force Combusken to let go of Miltank’s horns as Miltank started turning around and now she started lunging toward Combusken!

  However, by the time Miltank recovered enough to start grabbing onto Combusken’s head, that’s when Combusken started unleashing some fury attacks, like giving Miltank’s stomach a one-two punch, with the second fist landing a hint slight above Miltank’s stomach, forcing the cow to let go of Combusken’s head! Then as Combusken started moving towards Miltank, she landed a nice left hook before Miltank suddenly felt her body being lifted by Combusken as the chicken used all of her might to rammed Miltank right towards the sink, where the sudden force of Combusken’s slam was enough to ram the back of Miltank’s head onto a couple of dishes from the dishrack! Plates were smashed, and Combusken had to squint her eyes as a couple of glass shards started flying in different directions, but with Miltank trying to recover from the sudden impact of those plates, Combusken decided to turn the upper right side of the stove on for a greater chance to burn Miltank’s face!

  As soon as Combusken turned the upper right side of the electric stove on, that’s when Miltank grabbed Combusken’s head as Miltank managed to get a nice kick into Combusken’s right shin to try and make the chicken fall as Miltank was trying to get up, but Combusken went for a counter attack by grabbing onto Miltank’s left horn and went back to rammed her own body against the cow, as Miltank let out a moo when Combusken pecked her nose, but Miltank started firing back a strong headbutt to Combusken’s beak, pushing the chicken some more as Miltank noticed how close Combusken seems to be getting towards the cupboard! With her keen focus going back to the work, Miltank managed to grab Combusken’s beak and kick the chicken’s crotch this time as Miltank quickly grabs the handle of the cupboard while Combusken was still in a good enough spot for Miltank to open cupboard and use it to bash the back of Combusken's head! The chicken suddenly slumped her head onto Miltank, moments before Miltank lifted and shoved Combusken onto the floor!

  Miltank: *Huff huff huff*

  Combusken: *Pant pant pant*

  Miltank became so focused on recovering, that she almost made the mistake in burning her own hand against the stove. She turned the bottom right part of the stove off before looking over to see that Combusken had started picking herself up while rubbing her head and looking at Miltank with a glare. Combusken had just managed to stand herself back up, moments before an upcoming bump came into contact with the wheels on the truck. That sudden bump shook the trailer along with both Miltank and Combusken, but they weren’t the only ones that started shaking with the trailer. Miltank put her ears to the test when she heard something clacking nearby. Her eyes followed the sound until they spotted a nice glass jug standing on top of a refrigerator. Combusken heard the noise too and looked over right as Miltank realized how close of a distance Combusken was towards that same fridge. Getting her hooves ready, Mitlank took careful aim before deciding to go through with her plan right as she let out a sharp moo, loud enough for Combusken to hear as Miltank zoomed straight towards her opponent! Those sharp horns that rammed straight through Combusken’s chest stunned the chicken enough for Miltank to summon her strength to pick up and ram Combusken straight into that metal fridge where Combusken felt the nice blow to the back of her head!

  Miltank listened carefully as the force of her ramming caused the jug to jump forward towards the edge. As Miltank quickly took some steps back away from the jug, she hoped that Combusken will stumble forward enough to where the jug would fall right towards the chicken. Once Combusken finally starts to stumble her way forward, Mike’s truck started bouncing slightly against the road, and after a couple more small bumps, the glass jug finally fell off the fridge as Combusken closed her eyes tightly along with Miltank as she felt that loud shattering of the glass jug hitting Combusken above the head, in the which the chicken just now started covering once she felt some of the glass shards landing on her head! The impact of that glass jug forced Combusken to start dropping back down on her knees. The shards were much bigger than the beer bottles, and none of them had any sharp points that Combusken could use to her advantage. It would be very easy for Miltank to come over and try her luck after seeing Combusken worrying about her head, but if there’s anything Miltank has learned from Combusken, is that the chicken is full of surprises and she’s been holding her own weight of the fight to where Miltank can’t be reckless in the slightest. So instead, she starts to slowly make her way towards Combusken, while carefully making sure not to step on the glass shards to give herself away.

  As Miltank began getting closer to Combusken, the chicken had just finished rubbing her head in time to notice Miltank making her way towards her. Combusken did a quick check on her bloody feathery hands before she angrily pointed her sharp beak and aimed it right towards Miltank’s udder, causing the cow to let out a painful moo even after Combusken removed her beak and started throwing herself right at Miltank as Combusken picked herself up! Combusken’s main goal was to slammed Miltank’s head on top of the burning stove, but the chicken slipped when she grabbed Miltank, so although Miltank got saved from having her head being burned, she still felt the force blunt trauma on the back of her head after it got slammed on the edge of the stove! With Miltank being stunned, Combusken thought she had plenty of time to get up and keep on attacking Miltank, but as soon as Mitlank began to make her body sit up, she was just in time to tilt her body towards the right as Combusken let out a painful cluck after she was forced to kick through the window of the stove with her right talon! Combusken ended up shattering the glass from that same window, cutting her talon and leg in the process! With this, Miltank was able to force Combusken to back off with a nice and mean left kick right on Combusken’s crotch!

  Combusken: B-b-Bawk! *Hissing*

  While Combusken now has to deal with a couple of broken shards piercing through her talons, Miltank felt it’s safe enough to start getting back up, and as she grabbed onto something to climb herself back up, Miltank turned her head and spotted another useful item that can change this fight into her favor! Combusken had just turned her body around a tiny bit when she suddenly felt her neck getting squeezed again to where Combusken started gasping for air! Combusken looked back to take a split second to glare at Miltank before Combusken felt a sudden tug on her neck that forced the chicken to spit some blood out as Miltank quickly grabbed both ends of a dish towel to make a lovely little knot as she kept on tugging Combusken’s neck as tight as possible!

  Combusken: B-Bawk…! *COUGH*

  Combusken couldn’t even feel her own arms moving, and now with her right talon still bleeding from the glass shards, Mitlank started dragging the chicken as even Combusken felt herself about to fall down! Still being way too stubborn to lose, Combusken tries to put the pain aside and summons up all of the strength she has to perform a nice backbutt towards Miltank’s nose. It was strong enough to make Miltank walk a few steps back, but that backbutt also provoked Miltank to tighten up that dish towel some more as another sharp gasp escaped Combusken’s beak right as she spat more blood out!

  Miltank realizes that she doesn’t have enough space to try and outlast Combusken’s counterattack. Not wanting to get herself trapped, Miltank starts moving around, just as Combusken felt herself getting dragged enough to where she almost fell to the floor! As Miltank started making a complete right turn when moving around the RV trailer, she kept a keen focus to see that Combusken was looking to move her right leg, despite it being damaged. To make sure that Combusken doesn’t perform another backbutt, Miltank gave the back of Combusken’s right leg a nice kick! Even when being choked, Combusken felt the impact of that kicked, and that was enough for the chicken to respond with another strong enough backbutt to Miltank’s nose, making the cow move back some more, before Miltank responded back with another tight noose around Combusken’s neck, as she kept on circling to the right!

  This brutal type of fight kept on being exchanged between the two Pokémon, as even when being strangled, Combusken still seems to work in enough strength to deliver powerful enough backbutts to Miltank, enough to where Miltank could feel the blood running out the left side of her nostrils, but just like with Combusken, a bloody nose is not going to halt Miltank’s own brutal strangulation, especially when she can clearly see that Combusken can only hold her breath for so long as the chicken’s legs were REALLY starting to give out at this point. While Combusken was working hard to keep her legs from falling down, Miltank looked ahead to spot the electric stove. Seeing this as her only chance, Miltank uses her own strength to start lifting Combusken up while giving the chicken’s back a nice kick with her right knee to make Combusken stand up a little, but in doing so, Miltank gave Combusken one last chance to ram herself onto the cow, and this latest backbutt proved to be strong enough push Miltank back a bit, until both she and Combusken noticed that Miltank’s back had slammed itself against the RV trailer door right behind them!

  Miltank took one quick look at the door, before she looked at Combusken’s scheming smirk under her new blue face! Before Miltank could even try and get herself away from the door, the moment Combusken felt herself being dragged, the chicken used whatever’s left of her strength to ram Miltank against the trailer door even harder! A loud slam echoed around the trailer as Miltank felt the impact before she pulled on Combusken’s noose and quickly turned herself around while dragging Combusken until the chicken herself was presented right in front of the door! Miltank decides to show Combusken what REAL ramming looks like as she slammed the chicken’s body against the same RV door with a hard slam! Once again, the sound of that impact echoed around the trailer as Miltank pulled Combusken away before slamming her beak against the door again! The sudden force of those slams began to affect the lock on the door as Combusken’s eyes started giving out between the strangulation and the constant slamming!

  Feeling like this is it, as Miltank began to tug on Combusken’s noose, she took one look at that door, and while Combusken’s vision has become very blurry at this point, she’s determined to bring Miltank down with her! Once Combusken felt Miltank making another ram towards her body, the impact and weight of both Miltank and Combusken’s bodies combine had forced the trailer door to break itself open, sending Combusken flying outside, but not before Combusken used her back to quickly lift Miltank and throw the cow outside with her opponent! The sudden impact send the two Pokémon flying towards the edge of a mountain, where their bodies started bouncing and rolling against the rough rocks and a few bushes and small trees, until all of a sudden a loud slam can be heard in the background, before it’s revealed that both Combusken and Miltank had suddenly landed on top of a log truck, carrying fresh cut logs along a certain section of the mountain road.

  Few Minutes Later

  Miltank: … Mmm… Mil…

  As soon as Miltank felt her eyes slowly opening up, it takes a couple of extra seconds to regain her vision while she feels her body being bounced against a rough surface. Miltank had just lifted up her head slightly, when all of a sudden that same truck came to a complete halt. The driver carefully put the brakes on, as Miltank’s head suddenly landed back against the rough logs right as the truck came to a complete stop.

  Miltank: Mmf… …

  Jim: Hey, Bert. You’re just in time to join us for lunch. The crew and I are getting ready to trade sandwiches again.

  Bert: Heh… Well you boys are going to have to try PRETTY hard this time to get me to part with my meal of choice for today.

  Once Bert shut and locked the door to his truck, that’s when Miltank started opening her eyes again, and her vision started coming back this time. The cow gently lifted and tilted her head towards the left to see Bert gearing up to join his crew for lunch. Once Miltank started rubbing her forehead again, she looked around before realizing that this lumber truck had just carried her and Combusken all the way over towards a lumberyard. Miltank does another look around the truck, before she spots Combusken laying on her stomach against the piles of logs. Her closed eyes brought Miltank’s memory back to what happened before they landed on top of the truck, and judging by the way Combusken is slightly breathing, Miltank knows she needs to get out of here before Combusken recovers.

  Miltank carefully rolled herself over, and jumped down to the ground on her feet while she panted heavily. This fight clearly took a toll on Miltank’s whole body, as she had to shake her head before the blood loss started making the cow dizzy. Miltank looked around as she began to consider asking one of the workers to drop her off near the campsite.

  Just when Miltank was about to walk on over to the lumberyard for some help, her ears suddenly stood alert when she heard a fiery cluck from above, and she turned her head right as Combusken started jumping off the log truck, aiming to kick Miltank right in the face with Combusken’s left talon! A sharp painful moo had been muffled against Combusken’s left talon right as the chicken jumped back to the ground on her feet, while Miltank started stumbling back to check her right cheek, where Combusken did a fine cut to it when she scratched Miltank moments before jumping away from the cow! The sudden distraction would give Combusken another great chance to rush over just as Miltank looked ahead before shutting her eyes tightly as Combusken forced the cow to stumble back some more while giving her opponent a determined glare to finish this brawl! After Miltank came to a complete stop, she now checked under her chin when Combusken made another swipe while performing an upper kick to Miltank. Seeing the blood on her right fingers, Miltank returned the same determined glare at Combusken.

  With a fiery screech, Miltank was well prepared this time as she cancelled out Combusken’s own attack with a hard swift kick to the chest! While Combusken felt body stop for a short while, Miltank performed a high kick to Combusken’s face, making the chicken spit some more blood out as she was being shot backwards! Wiping the blood off her beak, Combusken also managed to avoid what looked to be a sharp left hook to her face as Combusken fired up a nice punch right onto Miltank’s lungs! Now Miltank felt her body jumping up from that attack, giving Combusken a chance to fire up a stronger left hook to Miltank’s face before driving another hook shoot with Combsuken’s right fist, as now Miltank felt herself backing up right as her heart started beating when she saw Combusken’s beak coming straight towards her eyes!

  Meanwhile, at the lumberyard, the crew began showing off the sandwiches they brought to work.

  Jim: Alright, Bert. What’s the meal you brought that’s got you so confident?

  Bert looked at his crew members as he opened up his lunchbox. Some looked a bit interested, others were a little confused as the lunch Bert brought was nothing more than a simple bagel with peanut butter and bacon strips on it.

  Bert: I’m telling you guys, the first time I tried this combination out, I was mind blown with how delicious it actually tasted, and I like both peanut butter and bacon, so I couldn’t believe I didn’t try this sooner!

  And to show he’s not lying, Bert took a nice bite of his sandwich and there was not one sign of Bert regretting his choice. Some of the workers just shrugged, while others seemed happy for Bert as they went back to looking and trading their lunches until one of the workers tapped another on the shoulder as he had them looking at something straight ahead.

  Max: Is that a chicken fighting a cow over there?

  Max’s observation has caught the attention of his workers buddies. They turned their attention to see that indeed, Combusken is still pummeling Miltank’s body left to right with her fists while occasionally throwing some sharp pecks to the face! Miltank was doing all she could to withstand Combusken’s brutal assault, but as Combusken’s fists kept on pounding the fat in Miltank’s body, the chicken could see the ever growing weary expression on her face. As Miltank started panting heavily, some of the workers felt the flinch the cow just suffered when Combusken beaten Miltank’s chest some more, and a couple of the other workers winched when they heard a sudden impact of Combusken’s left fist socking against Miltank on the jaw as the cow turned her head to left while spitting up! Whenever Miltank wanted to raise up one of her fists as a counterattack, all Combusken needs to do is start pecking around Miltank’s face to make her stumble some more until Combusken felt herself recovering enough to fire up another punch right on Miltank’s nose as more blood began to drip itself out as Miltank stared down with Combusken, while balling up her fists.

  Feeling very confident, Combusken felt for sure that a couple of more face punches will weaken Miltank enough to have the cow stay down on the ground, but as Combusken started making her way towards Miltank, the cow quickly sidestepped Combusken’s other face punch before working on a better upper left hookshot to Combusken’s face, causing Combusken to stumble back. The workers just continue to watch this brutal fight, as Combusken wipes the spit from under her beak while glaring at Miltank. She tries again to peck around Miltank’s face, but Miltank was able to stop Combusken by grabbing her head while yanking on those feathers! With a sharp clucked, Combusken also grabbed onto Miltank’s arms, trying to her best to pull Miltank’s hands away from her head as the Pokémon entered into another staredown!

  The lumber workers stood and watched, as Combusken’s screeching could most likely be heard within a couple yards away from the area itself! With each firm yank that Miltank is giving to Combusken’s head, Miltank could feel Combusken’s own strong grip happening to her wrist as the Pokémon started stumbling around until Combusken did a quick scanned of Miltank’s damaged body and decided to start punching around Miltank’s lungs, right above the cow’s stomach! Despite the fact that Miltank would respond to those punches by pulling Combusken over, they were still effective enough to make Miltank stumble back a couple of steps as the workers could see that with each fast punch that Combusken is making towards Miltank’s body, the Pokémon were gaining closer and closer to the lumberyard building behind them. That process would soon speed itself up, once Combusken also started kicking on Miltank’s right shin, where Miltank screamed in pain as she felt those talons scratching up her shin as she lost her grip on Combusken’s head!

  As soon as one of Miltank’s hands released its grip from Combusken’s head, the chicken wasted no time to fire up a strong peck at Miltank's nose right as the chicken was getting ready to ram herself against the cow! Some of the lumberyard workers jumped from their spots when Miltank managed to stun Combusken with a powerful kick to the chicken’s left gut right as both Pokémon started gripping onto each other as tightly as possible! Miltank summoned up her biggest strength as the workers covered their mouths when seeing Combusken’s eyes shutting themselves tightly the moment her back started getting crushed by Miltank! With Combusken not being able to do anything to protect herself, this became free range for Miltank to lift and toss herself with Combusken as some of the workers had to give it to Miltank for that strong bodyslam she gave to Combusken as the chicken had to have felt that strong slam onto the gravel ground! Just when the workers thought that Miltank has this fight in the bag, that’s when Combusken proved them wrong by not only grabbing Miltank by her shoulders, but when Combusken saw Miltank’s mouth opening up, that’s when Combusken used her Rock Smash attack to deliver a literal hard cracking direct left hook punch straight to Miltank’s jaw! With Miltank being stunned by that powerful punch, Combusken used this moment to take a needed rest.

  The lumberyard workers began to wonder if either Miltank or Combusken were in the best shape to continue their brawl. As soon as Miltank lifted her head while taking some deep breaths, she started looking around as her vision began to recover. Eventually, Miltank spotted something in front of her that made Miltank come up with another plan.

  The workers watched with interest as they followed the direction of Miltank’s crawling and soon they spotted their ladder that leads up to the second floor of their building.

  Justin: Is she going to use that ladder to pick herself up?

  Some of the workers also began to wonder as they tried to get a good read on Miltank’s expression. As soon as Miltank reached the ladder, Combusken looked up and started turning herself onto her stomach right as Miltank finally grabbed onto the ladder as she summoned her strength to pick herself up very slowly while she began to climb the ladder. Once Miltank had finally placed her left hoof onto the ladder, she only managed to climb another step until she felt her left hoof suddenly being grabbed! Miltank’s self defense moment literally kicked in, as all she needed to do was to quickly set her left leg free in order to give Combusken’s damaged head a nice kick as Miltank began to climb the ladder as fast as possible. She made it halfway to the top until she felt someone else using the ladder. To no one's surprise, Combusken started climbing the ladder too as Miltank continued on until she reached the top before Combusken.

  Bert: What the hell are they doing…?

  Combusken was about to answer Bert’s question once she too started reaching the top of the ladder. Combusken knows that Miltank went into the building first so she poked her head out while holding onto the building with her hands. Her talons also gripped onto the ladder steps as Combusken slowly scanned the building while Miltank tries her best to control her pantings as she hid herself on the right side of the building, close enough to where as soon as Combusken turned her head to the right, Miltank came up to deliver a strong elbow to the face! Combusken quickly covers her right eye as her other hand holds onto the building until Combusken can use her legs to climb into the second floor of the building. Miltank is determined to make Combusken fall back down and a strong punch that landed RIGHT CLOSE to Combusken’s heart definitely made the chicken’s whole body come to complete stop as the workers exclaimed when they saw Combusken’s left talon losing its footing on the ladder! Miltank saw this as her chance right as Combusken looked up before her blood started spraying out her beak and nose when Miltank kicked Combusken square in the face! If it wasn’t for the workers exclaiming even louder about Combusken’s dangerous situation, then Combusken might actually start falling back down when the force of Miltank’s kick forced the chicken to grab and pull on the ladder as it started falling over!

  After Combusken had a brief moment of looking down, she quickly leaned herself over, as Combusken had just BARELY managed to grab onto the building right as Combusken swung herself inside while forcing Miltank to step back when her talons kicked and scratched on Miltank’s chest!

  Justin: Can you spot them?!

  One of the lumber workers looked up at the second floor, until he called out that he spotted Combusken getting dangerously close to the edge of the building! Bert looks over and also spotted Miltank right in front of the chicken, meaning she is also dangerously close to the edge as well!

  Bert: Find someone to help the Pokémon, quickly!!!

  While the workers began scrambling around the area looking for help, Miltank and Combusken stood across from each other, balling up their fists and shuffling back and forth as they glared upon each other. Despite the heavy pantings and the large amount of bruises, scratches, and any other kind of injuries on their faces, both Pokémon also had this sheer determination to finish this brawl once and for all. As soon as both Miltank and Combusken began making a run towards each other, Combusken was aiming to grab those horns once more, but Miltank was quick to stunned Combusken once she started grabbing the chicken’s back and gave it a strong squeeze as Combuksen started grunting before Miltank made the mistaken in bringing Combusken close enough to where the chicken had a great chance to start pecking around Miltank’s face, mainly at the cow’s nose and close to her eyes as Combusken forced Miltank to start walking back again.

  That sharp beak made great work at pecking across Miltank’s face, as Combusken would suddenly free herself from Miltank’s stronghold after her beak managed to peck close enough to Miltank’s right eye! The sudden sharp peck from that beak forced Miltank to walk back far enough to where she felt her back leaning against something cold and metal. When Miltank was able to at least open up her left eye, she quickly realized that her body was WAY too close to the railing, where some of the workers from the lower floor also gazed up at the dangerous situation Miltank is facing.

  Eddy: RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!!

  Miltank turned her head just in time to grab Combusken by the head while delivering a strong left hook to Combusken’s right cheek, forcing the chicken to back off as more blood began to spit from her mouth! As Miltank uses this brief moment to recover, she looks back to the railing again, making a quick judgement on how far of a drop it would be if she was able to shove Combusken onto the railing. Just as Miltank had turned her head back to face Combusken, the workers from the first floor covered their mouths right as soon as Miltank began to scream the moment Combusken used a flamethrower to burn and blind Miltank for a good while! Miltank found herself leaning against the railing again as the workers witnessed Combusken getting a nice swift kick against Miltank, right as Miltank also felt her right cheek getting slashed as she held onto the railing to prevent herself from falling over!

  The lumber workers could only watch when Combusken tries to end this fight by choking Miltank out from behind as Miltank tries to get a hard elbow onto Combusken’s left gut and she even managed to get a strong enough bite against the right arm as Combusken shoves Miltank out of the way right as Miltank began to turn around only for her body to start doubling over when Combusken landed a strong punch right on those udders! The workers were trying to get a better view when Combusken also landed a nice uppercut to Miltank’s face as the workers that were still standing outside shouted and pointed to their co-workers the dangerous sight of Miltank getting close to the edge of the window where the ladder once was, as Miltank felt her body is still being pushed back by Combusken’s sharp peck to the nose!

  As Combusken tilted her head, Miltank also turned her head and felt her heart stopping a bit when she looked back and saw the big smirk on Combusken’s face. Miltank could feel her body remaining frozen the moment Combusken rushed over and began to lift her right talon right as she jumped straight at Miltank’s face! The workers from outside the building started exclaiming when they saw Miltank losing her balance and she felt her hooves beginning to trip against the edge of the building! In a last ditch effort, right as Miltank began to fall, she grabbed that same talon that was just used to kick her face as both Pokémon began to fall straight back down to the hard gravel road with a hard thud!

  Mike: Come on, let’s go and help them!!!

  The workers quickly rushed to the scene where Miltank and Combusken laid right on the ground just mere inches away from where the ladder was. From the sound of their heavy pantings, the workers saw that both Combusken and Miltank have suffered major injuries, from the bloodied nose, to the black eyes. While Combusken suffered the worst bruises on her face and back, the workers can see that Combusken did a number of Miltank’s face with as many scratches that Combusken’s own talons were able to land, with the most recent one being Miltank’s right cheek. From where the workers were standing, they all smelt a charcoal-like scent thanks to Combusken’s flamethrower burning up Miltank’s face from earlier. While the workers began to discuss how they should help the Pokémon, they heard and saw Combusken slowly getting up, almost with ease as the chicken wiped her face and looked down to see Miltank laying on the gravel road. The chicken did a quick check to see that this cow still has a pulse, but with the way she looks, Combusken sees no reason to continue the fight. Just as Combusken was about ready to stand and walk out of the area, she felt a very weak grip that made the chicken grin slightly when she saw Miltank STILL looking determine to keep the fight going, but all Combusken needs to do is to break this cow’s reality by removing her leg from Miltank’s grip before she grabs that head and give Miltank simple head slam onto the gavel road, where Miltank felt some rocks damaging her head, before her eyes began to close once more. Feeling satisfied that Miltank is not going to get up anytime soon, Combusken stood up, as the workers just watched her limping away from the area while a cold Miltank just laid onto the gravel road with the workers still looking her over as Miltank definitely needed some medical attention, ASAP.

  Few Hours Later

  Whitney: Miltank…?! Miltank…?! …

  As soon as Whitney came back from collecting the firewood with her Ursaring, they quickly noticed that Miltank wasn’t at her original spot. At first they were giving Miltank some time to find her way back, but when she didn’t, Whitney obviously started to grow worried enough that she and Ursaring began to split up and look around their area of their campsite. Whitney just came back from her search party section, where she placed her nails in-between her teeth as she heard some rustling and out came her Ursaring from the other side of the forest.

  Whitney: Did you find her?

  With a slow shook from Ursaring, the Pokémon also shared Whitney’s concern as the human girl tries her best to remain calm.

  Whitney: It… It’s okay, Ursaring. Let's just try again and this time we’ll--

  Before Whitney could say another word, both she and Ursaring heard another rustling that made Whitney jump as she turned around to see branches moving while the leaves and twigs started making crunching sounds from the ground. Ursaring imminently got in front of Whitney, ready to protect her as the two saw a silhouette figure emerging out of the woods. As Ursaring squinted his eyes to get a better look, he let out a surprised grunt that got Whitney curious enough to tilt her head, and her eyes went wide the moment Miltank slowly limped back to her section of the woods! She looked ahead and spotted both Whitney and Ursaring’s shocked expression, until Whitney looks over at Miltank’s injuries and she quickly rushed to her Pokémon to look over the damage Miltank had suffered from her brawl. While Whitney became rightfully concerned over the many bruises and scratches on Miltank’s body, she just hugged her Miltank tightly as she felt some tears of relief rolling down her cheeks.

  Whitney: Oooohh… Thank Arceus you’re okay… What happened, Miltank, who did this to you?!

  Miltank does her best to look at Whitney in the eyes while recapping what happened after her trainer and Ursaring left. She didn’t mention anything about how the Combusken she just fought is the same one that Whitney met the first time when Flair challenged Whtiney to a gym battle. Instead, Miltank made up a little story about how someone was trying to ambush the campsite so Miltank had to defend it and it resulted in a long drawn out battle.

  Whitney: Ooh, I see… What happened to other Pokémon? Did you win?

  From the look on Miltank’s face and the way she’s looking down on the ground while snorting, Whitney pretty much found her answer, but that didn’t matter to her. As she gently massaged Miltank’s shoulders, Miltank looked over to still see the relief expression on Whitney’s face.

  Whitney: It’s alright, Miltank. We obviously can’t win every battle. The important thing is you’re still here with us and you did the right thing by protecting our campground. Thank you.

  And as Whitney gives her Miltank another supporting hug, Miltank does start feeling better enough knowing that Whitney is just glad to have her Pokémon back. So after the two girls exchange a loving hug, Whitney stands up and gently holds Miltank by her left hand.

  Whitney: Let’s start making a nice dinner. For our hero that protected our campground.

  As soon as Whitney mentioned food, Miltank’s stomach began to growl. With a loving laugh from Whitney, and a smile from Ursaring, the trio enjoyed the rest of the night just being together.

  On another section of the woods, Combusken also made her way back to her campsite, where Flair, her trainer, made Combusken some hot soup after Combusken proudly told Flair her version of events, while also leaving out the detail about how the Miltank Combusken fought is actually Whitney’s Miltank. As the chicken Pokémon gently slurps down her nice hot soup, a proud smirk can be seen on her beak as she got her revenge on Miltank, while Miltank herself, had trouble trying to catch some Z’s as she just couldn’t forgive herself for letting someone like Combusken knock her out this time in a brawl, but as far Miltank is concern, there’s always next time if she ever decides to run into that chicken again in the near future!
