Tales of the Forgotten. Special Chapter 3: The Monster In The Mirror. page 2.
The Deino walks around the cave. Then it finds a fairly large chamber. The Deino peeks through the corner of it… And sees two dead Hydreigons, one laying on the center with many stab wounds, and the other against the wall missing it’s center head. And near these two dead Hydreigons are a Staraptor and a Togekiss standing close by. The Deino freezes in fear. Then the Togekiss spots the Deino. The Deino notices and starts running. It desperately starts running as fast as it can but suddenly, the Staraptor catches up and snatches the Deino off the ground.
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “I got the Deino!”
The Staraptor then flies back to the aftermath chamber as the Deino can only swing helplessly. The Staraptor reaches the Togekiss and drops the Deino in front of her.
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “Yep, This is the Deino.”
Togekiss: ( • ⌓ •) “You think this could be these two outlaw’s son?”
Staraptor: ( • ⌓ •) “Well, Probably. It is best if we drop him in the orphanage.”
The little Deino is trembling as the two are talking.
Togekiss: ( • ⌓ •) “You’re right take him there.”
The Staraptor picked up the Deino again and starts flying with the Togekiss.
Soon, they reach the rescuer’s Headquarters. They fly in and report to a Scrafty.
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “Sir, the threat has been neutralized, Sir!”
Scrafty: (⊤ ⌓ ⊤ ) “Good work, here is your pay.” Hands over a bag of coins
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “Sir, Thank you Sir! But Sir, It would appear as we have found a complication.” Holds up the Deino “It would appear as this Deino is the son of the outlaws we neutralized, Sir!”
Scrafty: (⊤ _ ⊤ ) Takes one look at the Deino (⊤ ⌓ ⊤ ) “Put him in the orphanage, the caretakers there can worry about him.”
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “Sir, Yes Sir!”
The Staraptor picks up the Deino and flies him over to the orphanage in Plasma town. There, The Staraptor drops him in front of a Lopunny.
Staraptor: ( •̀ ⌓ •́) “This Deino is the son of two outlaws that have been neutralized. I was ordered to place hum under your care. I will provide you with the rest of the documents later.”
Lopunny: ( • ⌓ •) “I see. You can go now.”
The Staraptor then flies off.
The Lopunny looks at Hydra.
Lopunny: ( • ヮ •) “Hi there little one, What’s your name?”
Deino: (||||⌓||) “M- My name?”
Lopunny: ( • ヮ •) “I see, from now on your name will be Hydra.”
Deino: (||||⌓||) “H-Hydra?”
{“I spent my first 5 years just in that orphanage. And while all the other kids got parents, no one wanted the son of outlaws. Even in the orphanage, I had no friends. I was always either bullied and feared, even by the caretakers.”}
