A Forgotten City

Kaida and Taem were leading the group in the direction they had first gone together, as fighting the Donphans had taken them off the path. After about fifteen minutes of walking, Sakura stopped and squinted her eyes. "Wha....?" Sho turned to look at Sakura, then to the place where she had spotted the slightest silver gleam. "A city! That means water and food!" Kaida cried out. "And it's in our direct path" Taem added. "Let's go!" Kaida shouted and they all started running, legs pounding, or wings beating.

When they reached it, they realized the shiny gleam was from a large shard of glass broken off from a twisted building. Looking around, they only saw five or six or what could have been twenty standing. "A ghost town" Tori whispered. "Well, that shop looks like it used to have food, let's check it out" Kaida said. They all went inside the tilted building. Flour and dough lay stale and dry atop the counter. In the fridge though, they found a container filled with poffins, concealed from dust and debris and rot. "There are at least enough for each of us to have three" Kaida told them after she counted. "Tori, once you are finished with your share, fly around looking for water, look inside standing buildings too, but be careful"
Kaida and Taem distributed the Poffins, and Tori flew off.

They lay down to rest a while. "Ohhhhhh....our place.....out" Sakura jumped so high it scared Sho and Kaida. Taem was cautiously looking around. After a silent moment, Duskull, Gastly, and Shuppet began moving through the walls. Kaida unsheathed her claws. 'It's time to bring it' she thought, and lunged toward the first Duskull, letting out a wave of fire. 'Wow, Flamethrower, my brother didn't learn that until...' she was ripped from her thoughts as a Shuppet came towards her. Tori flew in and tackled it down. Kaida nodded thanks. Their battle had just begun.
