Chapter 12: Marble's Mission

With Bill to his side, and Meaky held in his arms, Marble casually explored the shoreline about 10 miles east of Cerulean City. His new Gyarados had been a tremendous asset to his ambition, defeating the Three Sisters of the Cerulean Gym without problem.
“Wasn’t Gyarados great Meaky?” Marble asked his Magikarp. “Soon, you’ll be just as powerful!”
“Ka-aaarp! Koikoi!” responded an eager Meaky.
“Psy? … “PSYDUCK DUCK DUCK!” said Bill, who ran off to just about 20 feet away.
“Bill, what do you see?” asked Marble, who started to catch up to his Psyduck and witnessing what had gotten his Pokemon’s attention. A bloody, battered blue Serpent Pokemon laid in the sand, coiled similarly to a human fetal position. “Oh my goodness, you poor thing.” Said Marble in response to this discovery. He took out his Pokedex, and identified the Pokemon as a Dratini, a part of the only Dragon-Type Pokemon Family that exists. “Are you alright Dratini? Don’t worry, I’m here to take care of you.”
“Tiiii-ni.” The Dratini said weakly.
“There, there now, everything will be okay now.” Responded Marble, taking out a Super Potion and an Iron Vitamin. He sprayed, and rubbed the Super Potion on the Dratini’s scaly, long body, cleaning off the blood and healing the Pokemon. “Take this too, it will help your stamina.” Marble said, giving Dratini the Iron Vitamin to drink. After ten minutes had past, Dratini was back to normal, and very happy Marble was there to rescue it. “Who did this to you?” Marble asked.
“Ti-ni, Ti-ni, Draaaaa-tini.” Said Dratini who slithered through the sand and attempting to draw out in the sand what happened. Apparently this Dratini was the child of a family of Dratini & Dragonair. Dratini had also drawn out a shape of a cat’s head, with evil eyes, and its evil energy snaring the family of Dragonair & Dratini. “Tii-iii-ni! Dratini…” Dratini ended looking down.
“Your family has been kidnapped?” Marble asked
“Dratini! Dratini!” Dratini answered positively. The Serpent Pokemon slithered through the sand further, again drawing the cat’s head, and a lone Dratini being attacked by the cat.
“This is terrible.” Said Marble. “… Well, I want to help your family! Join me, and I will help you find your missing family, and stop what did this to you.”
“Tini!” said Dratini with anticipation in its eyes.
“Alright, Pokeball, GO!” said Marble, throwing a Pokeball. The Pokeball shook, but eventually stood stationary, indicating Marble had captured Dratini. Marble picked up the Pokeball and released his new Dratini.
“Dratini!” said the Pokemon. Marble picked Dratini up and cradled its long body in his arms.
“It is my mission to get whoever did this to you, and to rescue your family.” Marble said with gumption. “I won’t let you down Dratini!”
“Tiiii-ni!” the Dratini happily responded. Little did Marble and Dratini know, a figure was watching them. The figure stood up, and mounted his Ponyta.
“Let’s go!” the figure said, and Ponyta neighed and galloped off into the distance.
