Jake quickly skidded to a stop near Alex, Salasa and Kia, Sonny on his shoulder.
"...thanks...for not telling me we were leaving," he panted as he clutched his chest, and slowly stood up and looked around.
"Huh...I've seen pictures and videos of this place, but never been." He said smiling as they stood outside the gym.
Suddenly, the Zigzagoon from the forest ran at and tackled Jake's feet, which caused him to stumble and trip.
"Ow...what the...?" Jake groaned in pain, his knee now scratched as he sat up, as his knee bled.
The zigzagoon, a few feet away, grinned widely and let out its Mightyena esqe laugh.
Jake bit his lip, and went to grab the Nickit's pokeball.
"Scor!" Sonny said, and hopped in front of Jake defensively, and glared daggers at the black and white pokemon.
Jake blinked and nodded. "Go ahead, buddy."
The zigzagoon laughed again, and seemed to be challenging Sonny.
Sonny suddenly charged forward, and jumped into the air, and shot a fireball at his opponent.
The zigzagoon allowed the fireball to hit him, and zigzagged as he ran at the rabbit.
Sonny got tackled out of the sky, and was pinned.
Sonny, after he grunted, managed to kick the zigzagoon off of him and stood.
This combat continued for a few more minutes, and it became apparent Sonny was losing, and that he was being toyed with by the Zigzagoon.
Sonny, weak, struggled to stand to his feet.
"S-s-scor..." he whined, as his ears flattened.
Jake was visibly worried as he waited to jump in if needed.
The Zigzagoon cackled loudly, filled with glee.
Sonny growled and straightened up. When he did, he immidietely began to glow like Baltimore did while he fought the Nickit.
Jake stared, as his jaw opened a bit.
Sonny's ears grew longer, and hung downward. He grew slightly bigger, bit was still small. His feet grew, and were even bigger then they were before.
The light vanished, and now a Raboot stood where the Scorbunny was.
"Raboot!" Sonny said in his new voice, and removed his paws from the fur that served as pockets.
Zigzagoon looked thrown off, and didn't laugh.
Sonny bounced towards it, and easily tossed it into the air.
Jake quickly threw a pokeball at it, and it vanished inside.
Once. Twice. Three times.
Click.
The ball landed in Jake's hand, as Sonny hopped over.
Jake looked at his partner in awe.
"Sonny, I...wow," he laughed in disbelief. "Ill admit, ill miss the little Scorbunny that was the shyest out of the trio of starters and that was hiding behind a tree, but...you look awesome." He smiled.
Sonny grinned widely and began to hop around the group, and hopped up onto each of their shoulders in turn.
First Jake, then Seth, followed by Kia, Salasa, and then Alex.
After doing so, he hopped in place in excitement around the humans' feet
