When Sheik came to, the first thing in her field of vision was, of course, the mangled body of the Pikachu. She sat up and retched, a combination of her spinning head and the dead Pokemon next to her.

It was some sort of monster. A predator would not have mangled the body and left it here, a predator would have taken it away to eat. Somehow, she felt better knowing she'd been attempting to stop such a creature instead of impeding the food chain, but it didn't change the fact that she had failed.

She gathered what was left of the Pikachu and slowly made her way back to the forest. At the very least, she could bury it.
