Shrak! Crinch! Twak!
Luffy hacked and heaved the shroud of trees and verdant brush holding him prisoner amidst the mossy swamp. "Guhh, huff ... finally ... huff ... free" he gasped for breath while clutching his chest. How the hell did I get here? the pirate reflected with a puzzled countenance. Abrupt flashbacks pierced him as a sharp pain flared to life over the back of his rubbery dome; he was standing on the beach with sand between his toes one moment, then lying face down with timber as a blanket the next.
A foggy glimpse sparked within the simpleton's think tank, right next to the colossal bucket of sizzling meat fit for a giant's belly. He vaguely remembered a blazing simian's less than gracious entrance. "That's right...what a strong ape...I want to fight him for real next time! Shishishi!" Straw Hat chuckled the pain away, firing himself up in anticipation of a round two bout with Infernape.
Turning his head to gain his bearings, the pirate spotted a bulb-like head peeking out from the veil of branches. "Eh?" he murmured, tilting his noggin'. Realizing its notice, the creature quickly retreated, provoking chase from the curious captain. Thrusting an arm forth, Luffy clasped a distant tree with his extended appendage, retracting it like a draw string to pull him forward. Landing near the tree's apex, he poked his head around the corner; the peeping tom had vanished.
"Beeb!" A high pitched voice nipped from behind, nearly causing Luffy to lose his footing from sheer spook. Spinning around in haste, he laid eyes on the culprit. "Beeb!" it squealed once more with a friendly tone. Floating aloft like a petal in the wind, the wee tyke gracefully drifted around Luffy as the pirate tracked it with his eyes in wonderment. No larger than a hummingbird, the teensy fairy's cuteness was only outclassed by the beauty of the pink flower it hovered on. An adorable smile curled along its rounded face, which held a yellow crown of beads and an enlarged pair of notched ears.
"Hi! I'm Flabébé! What's your name?" the effeminate creature acquainted.
IT TALKS?! Luffy's eyes swelled in astonishment. He was no stranger to bizarre bestiary or oddball eccentrics, but thus far was genuinely impressed with what this mysterious island had to offer. He could feel in his gut that a grand adventure awaited him here. Slowly gesturing his hand out with index finger extended, Flabébé used it as a mount to land on. Flushed with intoxicating gaiety, the rattled pirate cordially replied, "I'm Luffy! I'm going to be the King of Pirates!"
"King of Pirates? Sounds important!" The floral pokemon encouraged as twin blush spots blossomed over her cheeks. "You're interesting! But I saw what happened before. You came crashing through the forest! I hope you don't mind but I've been watching you and your friends," she confided with a guilty tone, inciting a panicked expression from the rubber captain.
"Oh no! My friends!"
