The Infected Horde

You hear a particular scream alarm out through the stone walls. Your ears ring up and your body immediately jumps out of bed and hastily checks on Jackal. The big lug was still able to sleep in the chaos and noise, snoring a tad bit as he scritches his belly and snuggles close to his covers. You'd hate to feel bad, but giving him a light tap to wake him up was certain to fail, that's a definite. You press his side forcefully, causing Jackal to cry out in alarm before he rolls himself onto the floor with a loud THWUMP!

"Ack! What the..." He shakes his head violently as he rubs his tired, gloomy eyes, barely managing to ask in his sleepy state, "Wh-What's going on...?" You didn't take the time to answer him immediately while you walk to a closed window. Opening the wooden shudders, you peer through the opening to find a storm of purple glowing dots deep within the gate entry darkness. The entire wall was completely demolished, either by being crushed by whatever Pokemon were strong enough to use such brutality, or it was burning down to a crisp, clouding the short area in a dense smoke. Several infected were scurrying down the streets to collect the meals they could find, but thankfully, you witness several blockades and groups of guards ready to defend such a situation.

"Gah, out of all the days to stay here." You say to yourself before you open the door to head downstairs. Jackal, realizing the danger at hand now, shakes off any remaining drowsiness and follows swiftly behind you. Opening the door to the streets, you watch as Redeemer's Grotto soldiers fend off the maniacal infected ferals rampaging the city. Some guards with kicking bellies, others with their legs or heads sticking out of an infected's mouth. What terrified you the most were of the ferals that overpowered the sentries with...other parts of their bodies than just their maws. Having to observe a Floatzel's thrashing legs sink down into a Sableye's purple cock as i growls with vanquishing the whining soldier. You are ready to help until you notice Pence the Scyther, kicking an infected Mightyena anthro off of him, spotting you.

"You picked one bloody time to stay here!" He said while striking the Mightyena again, sending it to yelp in retreat. The dog kicked to its heels, running away in limping manner only to get caught by a Swellow soldier's grasp. The Scyther turn to talk to you in the heat of battle, but seems to be too out of breath. "We usually experience massive infected attacks maybe...heghhh...once a month? But recently...heghhh...whew, they've been coming more often for my comfort. I think they're finally understanding that we can't last like this forever, especially when they take-off with several of our soldiers in their stomachs." He sighs out, resting his elbows on his bent knees.

"We'll help but I really hate to say this. After this is over, we're heading out immediately to the swamp." You try and appeal to him, getting a nod from Pence in return. The bug Pokemon shrugs a shoulder to his side, pointing at a direction while looking at Jackal. "I could use you over this side of the town. There'a large majority of grass type infected attacking that area from what I can tell, and I'd really appreciate a fire type that looks like he can screw em' over a tad bit."

Pence and Jackal left you standing at the road to take care of your own street as you hear the Typhlosion yell over to you in his run, "Hey, Lace...uh...good luck out there! And stay alive, okay?"

You turn to the direction where the larger battle seems to take place, looking through the crowd of Pokemon fighting in gripping battles until you hear a loud roar arise above all the others...
