     “I told you we shoulda’ picked some of this up yesterday!” Magda complained, giving her companion’s tail a yank. “You wanted to sleep before, but as soon as you get hungry it’s an issue!”
    “I’m sorry!” He defended, folding his arms indignantly. “You could’a gone by yerself, ya know.”
    “I don’t wanna go by myself!” She argued. “What if something bad hap-” Her tirade was interrupted by a large crash, followed by a chorus of loud screams. The two looked up to see a large plume of smoke rise over the treeline.
    “The heck?” Brexio asked. “What’s goin’ on!?”
    “I-I don’t know!” Magda replied.
    “I guess we should find out.” He lifted his tiny companion onto his back, her small hands clutching gently the pipes on his back, and darted through the forest to reach the city. Buildings and streets were a blur as they rushed towards the heart of the city.

A lanky glameow adjusted his hat as he looked up at the suddenly sentient statue through the forest of buildings. “What the heck is that?!”
    “How would I know?” his partner, a steely crawdaunt muttered.
    “We should fight it!” he mewed excitedly.
    “No we shouldn’t-OOF!” her warning was interrupted as the wind was knocked clear out of her.
    To say Brexio tripped and fell would be an understatement. He made two quick missteps and came crashing to the ground, landing on something small, gray, and fluffy. His left arm thumped into something real firm, knocking that over as well. His impact also knocked Magda clean off his back, and she landed on the ground beside him.
    “Watch where you’re going!” She yelled. “I coulda busted my head open in that crash!”
    “Sorry!” He replied, rubbing his snout. “Ouch.”
    “Could you please get off…?” Shimshon gurgled. “You’re crushing me…”
    “Huh? Oh!” He rose to his feet, gazing at a Glameow lying in an imprint in the dirt. He pulled him out, smiling an apology. “Hope yer okay.”
    “I’m fine, it’s just-” he began.
    “Watch out!” Irma shouted, looking upwards.
    In that instant a large white pillar slammed into the unsuspecting party. Brexio growled, holding Magda close to him and raising his arms in defense. Shimshon’s eyes screwed shut as he anticipated his immediate death. One second, and then another passed and he could still feel his consciousness and physical being. When he dared to look up, he saw Irma struggling to combat this mighty force with superpower. She began to sink into the ground, as the force persisted.
    “Get out of here!” She ordered. “I won’t be able to hold this for long...”
    “Sure you don’t need any help?”
    “YES I’M SURE! GET OUT OF HERE AND TAKE THAT GRAY IDIOT WITH YOU!”
    Brexio nodded, picking up Shimshon with one hand, nudged Magda forward with one leg, and moved them out of harm’s way. Irma was immediately smushed under the weight of the pillar, which at closer scrutiny was actually the arm of a large giant.
    “Oh Arceus!” Magda exclaimed, watching in horror. “Is she okay!?”
    “I… Uh…” Brexio scratched the back of his head. “I’d be surprised if she wasn’t dead.”
    “She’s fine,” Shimshon meowed. “She’s taken waay worse damage than that.”
    Sure enough, when the statue raised its arm from the earth, Irma’s claw emerged from the crater, grappling for a handhold.
    “Well, I’m impressed.” Brex muttered, going over to help her.
    “Are y’all ok? That was quite a sight!” a Floatzel with two Pokémon attached to his arms rushed over.
    Brexio’s hand flew to his mouth as he tried to suppress laughter. Magda delivered another slap to his leg “Hush.”
    “We’re fine!” Shimshon assured him.
    “If’n all of ya are as strong as that crawdaunt, I reckon y’all can help us fight this monster, an’ drive it out of th’ city!” The Floatzel commanded. “If ya do, we can guarantee y’all a spot with the explorers!”
    The Glameow’s eyes glittered with the word “explore”. That sounded like an awesome deal! Fighting this statue would be no problem; he could do it with his forepaws tied behind his back. Then they could join these explorer people and maybe even get a house from them. They wouldn’t have to live in boxes anymore!
    “We’ll do it!” Shimshon exclaimed abruptly.
    “WHAT?!” Irma roared. “You can’t just volunteer us like that!”
    “I’m actually good with that, if we get paid.” Magda shrugged.
    “We c’n figure out somethin’ tah pay ya with,” the Floatzel replied.
    Brexio’s other hand came to aid the first in stopping his laughter. The Floatzel gave him an irritated glance.
    “Now let’s git goin! My buddy Luke should be tryin’ tah stop that thang. He’s the big blue fellow with th’ hat’n gloves.”
