In her dreams, Braixen imagined all the best things that could ever happen to her in her life: to be a famous actress, to participate in the best television sets in programs of all kinds, to be the protagonist of the movies that were destined to the highest of successes with the best actors, being the number one for having burst all the box offices? Hollywood was her place, that was her dream, to be able to triumph in the world and receive gifts from admirers and fans who were crazy about her, to give interviews to the best national and international newscasts? And, obviously, to go viral all over the internet and get hundreds and hundreds of thousands of followers (but, what did she think!) millions of followers!

  But what she certainly longed for, what she yearned for so much, everything she imagined and fantasized endlessly, preparing for that unthinkable moment: to be able to receive an award thanks to her quality: maybe a Golden Globe, or better, an Oscar! She could feel it, she could hear the applause and cheers of all the nominees in the audience, making history for being the first Pokémon to be able to win the most important award in the world that was not in the typical regions she already knew. She dreamed of receiving the award, posing proudly, and somewhat nervously, she began with the speech she had been preparing for so long:

  "- I would like to be able to thank everyone here tonight. Sometimes I remember when I was a little girl... I was just a Fennekin trying to master her own powers, constantly training to become competent.... It was near my evolution that I discovered this vocation, this world that has embraced me tenderly, giving me the opportunity to be among you. That is why I want to thank all those who have made this possible. To be a winner of this award is something that has broken a new barrier for history."

  In that way, she smiled as the audience broke into applause. In her head, she couldn't stop repeating that phrase that was slowly becoming a distant echo

  "A new barrier broken in history" .... "Thank you, thank you all!

  ...

  "- Thank you... thank you, thank you, thank you all!"

  But it was all a fantasy, a very deep dream. And we say it was a deep dream because she was literally lying on the grass in the forest clearing, asleep and talking in her sleep, but shouting was what she was saying. Meanwhile, her two sons Timburr: Timb and Carry, two brothers, had been looking at her for a long time, trying not to laugh at that dream.

  "-Come on, wake up at once!" exclaimed one of the Timburrs, Carry. It was in vain, she kept mumbling about her thanks, even blushing at supposed compliments.

  "-Normally he wakes up when we make noise, but he seems to be having an interesting little trip..." Timb walked over to her and started waving his arms to see if she would react, but she just kept giggling in her sleep. She tried to stretch her lips, open one of her eyes.... "- Wow, she's really dreaming...!"

  "- And you can tell she's having a great time...! At this rate we won't be back home until late..."

  They both remained silent for a few moments, bored and not knowing what to do. Suddenly, something came to Timb's mind, because he began to smile boldly.

  "- Brother, come here, I have an idea!"

  "- Sure, what is it?" Carry asked. Timb leaned close to his ear and began to talk to him in a low voice. They both looked at each other and nodded laughing, running away. "Come on!"

  Meanwhile, in the same forest, near the clearing, Row flew among the various trees, feeling a cool breeze thanks to the shade of their green leafy canopies. Although his bag was starting to weigh him down a bit and he was a bit tired, he couldn't stop doing it. Meanwhile, Percy and Eevee were trying to follow him, although he was going from one side to the other so fast that it seemed they would lose sight of them.

  "-Hey, wait, you don't want to get lost around here!" said Percy laughing, trying to stay under the Rowlet.

  "-Don't worry, I'll just have to fly over the trees to get my bearings again!" But he was really starting to get tired of all the flying, besides, it wasn't fair that the two of them were on foot while he was flying, going somewhat faster. "- Well, I'll be right down, just a moment, I'm really exhausted.....

  He descended quickly and landed relentlessly on the ground in front of the Riolu and the Eevee. They both smiled, laughing.

  "-But just a moment ago you were saying that you could keep flying! I thought you never get tired!"

  "-I know! But since you're on foot and I can fly, and even faster.... Well, I don't know, I don't think it's fair, is it?

  "- Well, I guess it's a nice perk of being a Rowlet," said Percy, scratching the back of his head happily.

  "- Yeah, but I've flown so much that I'm even bored of it!"

  All three laughed again at that.

  "-Bah, you've got to be kidding me!" said Eevee trying to control his laughter. He was laughing so hard that he even had to wipe away some tears with one of his front paws.

  "-But it's true! I at least see it that way."

  "-That's nice of you!" Riolu sat down on the ground with his paws crossed, somewhat tired too, with him sat the other two as well. "Truth be told, it's felt like a race instead of a welcome visit, hehe!

  "-Yes, the truth is yes, I think we should take it a bit easier" nodded Eevee.

  "So, do you live in this forest?" asked Row.

  "-Not exactly. It's true that it's where we usually spend most of our time together with other pokémon, but we're actually from the mountain!"

  "-From the mountain?" Row tilted his head so that his eyes and beak became slightly more vertically alienated. That was only natural, since he was a pokemon that resembled an owl to a great extent. "But it's too tall for you guys, isn't it?"

  "-Oh, it's not that tall! From a distance it may look so, but believe me it's actually very cozy. Long ago it was a volcano that comes to eupitate to a great extent, today it is dormant and will not flare up again. This caused multiple galleries and large caves to emerge in its interior. Some were flooded with water and created a kind of spring, so there are large lakes in some caves. The best of all is that...

  But suddenly, a loud cry echoed throughout the forest. It was such that the three of them were startled, their hearts racing.

  "-But who the hell did you think you are!!!?"

  It was Braixen's voice.

  "W-but what was that?"

  "Great, that's all we need! Percy said, frowning."

  "- It was Braixen... What will she be doing this time?"

  "- A Braixen?" But he didn't give poor Rowlet time to say anything else, because he began to be led by Percy by his hand, almost running again. "But what's the matter?"

  "- We'll explain it to you when we get to the forest clearing, come!" exclaimed Eevee, overtaking them.

  Although they could have arrived in less than five minutes, from the run they arrived in less than one. When they arrived, they hid behind a bush, peeking out to see what had happened. Apparently, the Timburr brothers had had the bright idea of filling a bucket of sea water and pouring it over them. Her fur had gotten soaked, and the tail (which was where she kept her fire stick) was soaked with it, making friction when she pulled it out impossible.

  "-Do you want to scare me to death?"

  "-Come on, it was a funny joke, Mom!" exclaimed the siblings without stopping laughing. "There's nothing wrong with it!"

  "- There's nothing wrong with it? You know perfectly well that I hate cold water, I'm a fire type for a reason!!!" It was obvious that she was furious, almost shooting sparks out of her eyes, but that seemed to only amuse the Timburrs more than anything else.

  Meanwhile, Eevee and Percy couldn't stop laughing at what they were seeing. Row, although it was true that fire-type pokémon had a hard time with water that wasn't hot, because of his childish innocence and the laughter of his two friends, also started laughing, hidden in the bush. They spent a long time like that, until suddenly a sinister voice came from behind them...

  "So you laugh at others behind their backs, uh?

  Suddenly, the three stopped laughing, feeling a cold shiver not only down their backs, but all over their bodies, looking at each other. Row didn't know what was going on,

  Suddenly, the three of them stopped laughing, feeling a cold shiver not only down their backs, but all over their bodies, looking at each other. Row didn't know what was going on, although he could tell by the look on his two friends' faces that they knew what was about to happen.

  "-Well, now you'll see! Shadow Ball!"

  And suddenly, something crashed into the three of them, some kind of purple ball of energy. A ghost-like attack that sent the three flying, landing abruptly in the forest clearing.

  "- Oh, hey, there was no need to be so rough!" complained Row, somewhat sore from the landing against the grass.

  "- My head, ouchhhh!" said Eevee, trying to stand up, somewhat dizzily.

  Percy, however, looked like he had come out unscathed. He immediately helped them up.

  "-Are you guys okay?" The other two nodded and Percy stroked their heads tenderly, but again, they again interrupted the moment.

  "-You seem to have enjoyed my surprise attack very much.... Well, it's nothing compared to my special attack!" A Gengar stood in front of them, grinning mischievously from ear to ear, as is usually characteristic.

  "-That's not funny at all, just so you know!" - Row confronted him, flying up to his level. Percy and Eevee backed him up.

  Momentarily, Braixen began to approach next to Timb and Carry in a solemn manner, appearing to be someone important.

  "-Well, it looks like you guys were having a great time just now seeing me wet. Isn't that in poor taste? Didn't your parents teach you any manners?

  "A joke is a joke, anyone can laugh at it!" Percy defended himself, wanting to protect his friends, as leader of the group.

  "- And what do you know if it was a joke?" Braixen answered him back.

  "-Well, actually it was" Carry wanted to say, but Timb shut him up. He immediately broke free and spoke again. "Oooh, but I see you have a new friend! I think it would be rude not to introduce ourselves!

  "-Right!" said Ger. "We are the ones who hide in the shadows to perform in broad daylight."

  "- The most cunning and stealthy pokémon who make noise at the most unexpected moment. We seek glory, fame, fortune..." continued Braixen.

  "-And conquer the world!" shouted the two Timburrs.

  "-We are the unbeatable Ranger team!" exclaimed the four in unison in a heroic stance.

  The three looked at each other for a few moments. Then they laughed even harder again at that hilarious little number. This caused Braixen to become furious, restraining himself.

  "So that's what we're going with!" replied Ger again, "Now you'll know what's good! Lick!" and suddenly, he stuck out his huge tongue to stun the three of them, but all three managed to dodge it.

  "-You won't do that again, we're smarter!" boasted and half mocked the three of them.

  "-Shut up and watch! Nitrocharge!" exclaimed Braixen, pulling out for a second the stick of his tail, which was set on fire by a powerful flame at the beginning of it. Moving it towards Row summoning a powerful wave that hovered over him. He didn't have time to fly high, so he took the full blow, shooting off further forward.

  Such was the power of the blow that he hit his head on a tree, but that was not the worst of it: the weight of his body crushed his wing against the trunk, hearing a slight "crack". What followed was a horrifying scream of pain that surprised all four of the team. Braixen feared the worst for herself: she had hurt a child, who knows who the parents might be!

  "-Row!" Percy and Eevee exclaimed, running towards the tree.

  "-But you brute!" reproached Ger. This isn't over, you folks!" And she started running with her friend."

  The Timburr brothers tried to protest, but in the end they ran away too. Meanwhile, Row wouldn't stop crying from the burning pain in her wing. Meanwhile, Percy and Eevee had come to his side, as he cried loudly from the pain.

  "-My wing, it hurts so much, I think I broke my wing!"

  Both friends were frightened by that.
