My feet pounded into the snow, packing it below my weight. I pushed myself towards the front of the groups, and, with what seemed like hours of struggling, finally made it to Gunpowder. "I'm going with you! When are we leaving?"

The Gabite eyed me closely, and then nodded. "Yarr, Kelsea. Ye' want to go, as well? Aye...aye...we need all the help we can get." Gunpowder glanced around the surrounding Pokémon before clearing his voice. "Aye, 'mates! This 'ere is goin' to be a 'tuff one! Ya' see, this 'ere dragon" he quickly motioned towards Sorbet, who had preoccupied himself with destorying some teams' bases, "is going to be one great challenge, 'mates. But, we 'ave to do it! We 'ave to protect our homes!" The crowd fell silent, as if taking in the gravity of the situation. 'Aye, I need a team of the most efficient 'mon that can fight. Who 'ere can fight, and not care about dyin'?"

I stepped forward; it appeared that the crowd was more hesitant that I was, or was I just stupid? Arrogant? Maybe a little...

"Everyone," I boomed, commanding attention. "We don't have time for you all to ponder about fighting. We have to do something! That thing is destroying everything we've come to love! We need to act, now!"

"Aye...I couldn't agree more!"

"She's right," a small, silver-coated Eevee stepped forward. "We need to fight! And lure that thing away!"

"Yeah!"

"We can save the village!"

Slowly, more Pokémon joined with murmurs of agreement. Before long, around twenty Pokémon had stepped forward, including multiple fire Pokémon. A strong-looking Charmeleon stepped forward. "What's our plan, boss?"

Gunpowder stood quietly for a few minutes, before turning to the Zangoose standing anxiously behind him, and then to Maple, who had perched herself on Frensel's head. "Our plan, eh? We need to lure the beat into the woods, or' wander." He motioned towards the woods. "Get 'em as far away from the village as possible."

Frensel cleared his throat, before speaking, "The rest of you, go aid Mike, Shroomsworth, and Devonshire. They will need much help, too."

Slowly, the remaining Pokémon, not in the group, cleared out, going in different directions. Gunpowder growled, angrily. "Now, 'mates! Fire Pokémon, 'ead into the woods. We will plan an ambush 'ere. Maple, Frensel, Dmitri, and I 'ill join you 'mon in the woods." His gaze swept through the group gathered around. "Umbreon, Eevee, Riolu, Rufflet, Luxio, Deino, Absol...Sneasel, Herdier, Minccino, and Zorua! 'Aye don't know 'yer names, not all of 'em, anyways...you 'mon will act as decoys and lead the brute into the woods!"

The Zorua at my side gave a small shudder, and spoke softly, as if almost to himself. "I don't think I'm that strong...not strong enough."

"You stepped forward," I muttered. "You're brave...and that is your strength. You stepped forward when many Pokémon were too afraid to."

"You're right...but, he's...Sorbet's a legendary!"

I smiled. "I'll make sure nothing happens to you, ok?"

He smiled, slightly. "What guild are you from?"

"My team are Rogues."

"I'm from the Rescuer's guild."

"Ready, you lot?" Gunpowder boomed, glancing at Maple. It was evident that he cared about her dearly, as well as Frensel and Dmitri. Who couldn't like Maple? I asked myself, smiling. She was such a wonderful young Stunky, whether she was a Rescuer or not. "Let's go!"

As I charged with the others blindly, a thought crossed my mind; the same thought that had crossed my mind several times. Does it matter if you are a rescuer, rogue, or merchant? What we all did was the same...helped other Pokémon. Yes, there were different views...helping Pokémon, well, legally or not, or playing the medium, as merchants so often did. It didn't matter in the end, I realized; when we die, our guild doesn't matter. Our heart, our soul, who we are matters in the end. And, if I had to die someday, I would die protecting those that I loved.
