Third person POV
Jonathan and the other heard Rico's scream, and they all went there. Back at the scene, the three Pokémon Poachers took Rico away in a net, and Jonathan and the others were shocked but hid behind some trees and bushes. "Oh, no, Rico…" Jonathan said in mild shock.
"Mr. Cruz…" Marshall responded to this in a low voice
"No…" Shion gasped quietly in horror.
Then, as the 3 Pokémon thieves disappeared into the forest, Jonathan and the others devised a plan to save Rico from them. At this point, Rico's Litleo and Absol realized that their rivalry had caused some problems, especially for their Trainer. And so, both of them eventually dissolved their rivalry and decided to work together to save Rico, much to the relief and joy of Jonathan and the others.
And so, a bit later, the three Pokémon Poachers arrived at their vehicle, which was a small truck, and they were about to load their catch when a Water Shuriken burst into the scene, cutting the net and destroying the back part of the truck. The three thieves were shocked, and Rico, who had fallen to the ground as a result, was stunned to see that. It was from Jonathan's Greninja, who appeared in the scene with Jonathan and the others. The three Poachers turned around and were shocked at their presence. Marshall's Luxio and Shion's Absol are also there. Rico's Absol and Litleo are no longer rivals.
"What the…?" one of the three Pokémon Poachers commented in shock.
"Absol? Litleo?" Rico responded to this while standing up.
"You won't get away with this!" Jonathan said to the thieves.
"Yeah, let go of our friend!" Shion added strongly.
But the three Pokémon Poachers won't budge and instead call in their Pokémon, which consisted of one Rhyhorn and two Hitmonlees, to enter the fight. "Oh, yeah?" one of the three thieves said while not backing down. "Try and test our strength, ya youngsters!"
Rico went to his group and went to the side of his Pokémon team.
And so, this battle began. The three Pokémon Poachers fought hard with their Pokémon, but Rico and his group were stronger together. Rico's Absol and Litleo really fought and cooperated with each other, much to Rico's surprise and happy relief.
