Sabrina had a huge grin on her face after she nailed that Pokemon. "Good job, Sabrina," I said sarcastically. "If that's such a huge accomplishment, try at least catching one."
I twirled and shot Marco a triumphant face. "Are the two other Zigzagoon here?" I asked Marco, looking around. Maybe Joseph and Akira's pokemon chased them away?
"No, you won't. Geez, you're as pale as a ghost. I bet those Zigzagoon didn't like you, so they attacked." I accidentally began to make all these conclusions on what happened.
I sighed. "The main reason why a Pokemon would attack like that is if it feels threatened. And him being associated with collecting Pokemon and all...I'm not very surprised!"
We walked around Littleroot for a while. After a while, we reached the lab. Once we came in, we sat Professor Birch down on a chair. The rest of us stood, and I asked, "Now, what's the deal with those Zigzagoons?"

(Hey, where's DeviousCrossing? He's online, but he isn't doing anything...)
Professor Birch began, "I was out to get more information on this particular Pokemon. I thought I was well hidden. But one of them spotted me. I ran back towards Littleroot, but they ganged up on me. Soon they got my leg, and I was desperately limping away from them. That's when you came in. I owe you folks a great deal."
I told Sabrina, "Well, he said there were multiple Zigzagoons, so I guess there was one behind him that reacted and got the other's attention. It's always a possibility."
"I guess that makes sense. What matters is helping the Professor with his leg." I told Marco. I turned to Birch and said, "How badly does your leg hurt?"
The Professor looked up. His color was returning, but he still looked miserable. "They got it pretty good," he replied. "I can walk on it, but it's not in the best condition."
