(A/N I mixed up Pupitar for Larvitar in the previous Chapter for how it looks, However I read up on the Pokemon Wiki and found it's nearly impossible to find a Larvitar in the wild unless it is nearly about to Evolve into a Pupitar as they strickly live underground until they become Pupitar, but I'm sticking with Pupitar and making their Gender unknown as they are now in their in their Pupa/Cocoon stage of Evolution)

After a few hours Pupitar began to regain consciousness as it looked around seeing me and several Pokemon nearby as it floated slightly off the ground before growling.
"Pupiiii!"
"Whoa, easy Pupitar, we aren't here to hurt you, we found you by the river earlier all beat up from whatever attacked you." I went onto explain what happened.
"Pupi?….. pupiii…." It seemed confused but it put everything together before looking sad and laying its metal body on the ground again.
"What happened exactly to you anyway?" I knew Pokemon were fighting but I knew that Pupitar couldn't roar that loudly.
"Bun-Bun!" Buneary went over to ask what was wrong as they seemed to talk to each other in their own Pokemon kind of way.
Misdrevus and Venipede went over and began learning what happened to the Pupitar who slowly told them its story, but whatever it told them made everyone sad.
"Bun…."
"Dre…."
"Veni…."
"Pupi…."
Pupitar then stopped talking and rolled on its side facing away from everyone while Buneary, Misdreavus and Venipede came over to me with sad looks on their faces.
"…. I can take it was bad." I say only seeing them nod while Buneary grabbed a stick and began to draw faces on the ground.
One was a picture of Pupitar and another Pokemon which roughly looked like Tyranitar from its looks alone with a smile on their faces.
But then it seems a Tyrantrum and a Tyrunt appeared in their territory and Tyranitar is know for being very territorial they couldn't stand their presence.
However unfortunately the Tyranitar lost to the much stronger Tyrantrum and was killed as a result while protecting its child who had no choice but to flee while covered in injuries from the attacks Tyrunt gave it while it was fleeing before we found us by the river.
"Ohh…. I feel bad for Pupitar…." Losing ones parent is a rather traumatic experience for anyone, but in this primal world that wasn't unexpected to come across as life and death was a common occurrence here.
There wasn't really anything we could do for Pupitar besides becoming friends with it and helping it slowly ease the pain of the lost of its parent.
So the day came to an end and a new day started once again, we had plenty berries to get us through the day, but Pupitar refused to eat.
"Pupitar you have to eat something…." I said to it as I offered some berries to it but it just turned away.
"Pupiii….." It said sadly not feeling a need to eat at all leaving me in a tough situation.
"Pupitar….. Your parent wouldn't want to see you being like this, they gave everything to save your life so you have to live on for them." I went onto explain to it.
"Pu pu pupiii...." It's body began to shake before tears began to flow down and onto its metal carapace as it cried in sadness.
"Dreavus…." Misdreavus said quietly as she floated on down and cuddled up to the crying Pupitar and soon enough Buneary and even Venipede went over and hugged the crying Pupitar as they all shared its pain.
"Puuuuupiiiiiii!!!!" It cried even harder and harder while everyone hugged it to comfort it as I came over to lift Pupitar and stroke its backside of its cocoon while it cried on my chest.
It didn't stop crying for quite awhile as it tired itself out from crying so much so I put it back down on its little bed to rest.
I got up and looked at the others, "Buneary, can you stay and look after Pupitar? I'm going to take Misdreavus and Venipede to find something Pupitar will want to eat, probably look for some metal for them to eat." I say as I looked at the still sad Pupitar.
"Bun-Buneary!" She jumped up seeming willing to look after Pupitar.
So me, Misdreavus and Venipede headed out and decided to check the other side of the cliff that our cave was located in to search for some metals, along the way with the help of Venipede I turned my wooden Club into a Stone Hammer after binding a large stone to the tip of it.
So after about half an hour we reached the other side of the cliff area where plenty of stone outcrops were located and I could see a few with shiny metal bits in them.
"Tink! Tink! Tink!" Though as I was looking at which ones I should hammer I heard a voice along with the dull sounds of something hitting another thing.
So I went to see what was making the noise, "Wait, is that Tinkatink?" I asked as I saw the small humanoid child like pink Tinkatink trying to hammer away at a large piece of metal with a tiny rattle like hammer.
"Tink? Tink! Tinkatink!" It looked over at me before being surprised and standing in front of the large metal outcropping and protecting it.
"Oh? Are you going to use that metal to help make your hammer?" After all unlike all other Pokemon Tinkatink evolves as she builds up her hammer with metal and scrap parts she finds around the world.
"Tink! Tinkatink!" She said as she nodded her head as she looked at the large piece of metal ore before her.
"Hmm, but you can't break it can you?" It's known that as Tinkatink she is incredibly weak as her hammer that she has now looks more like a metal baby rattle then a real hammer.
"Tink…." She seemed down as she wasn't strong enough to break it.
"Then let me help!" I said hoisting up my huge hammer before smashing it against the metal ore deposit causing it to crack and after a few more hits it fell apart into much smaller parts.
"Tink! Tinkatink!" She seemed very excited as she bounced up and down seeing the metal ore in front of her as she began to bang her rattle hammer against it.
However it takes a lot of ore to improve her hammer and it's slower compared to modern times in comparison since it's faster with smelted and treated metal than just pure ore.
So while she was hammering at her ore I went and found some more ore and broke it apart to take back with us for Pupitar to eat as we gathered it up.
"Tink! Tinka!" As we were about to leave Tinkatink came over with a smile as she showed off her rattle that was slightly larger than it was before.
"Very good! I hope you get enough metal to help you evolve soon Tinkatink." I said as patted her head while she smiled at that.
"Tink! Tink!" She said as she reached up to me like a child wanting to be carried.
"Do you want to come along with us? I do have a Pupitar back at home who wants to eat this metal though." I said as I was worried Pupitar would try and eat her metal rattle.
"Tick…. Tick! Tick!" She seemed nervous but she looked up at me with determined eyes and nodded her head, she still wanted to come with as I am the only nice person to come help her get her metal for her hammer.
"Alright, then let's head home Tinkatink." I say as I pick her up and let her ride on my shoulders before we headed back towards home.
