ME: 7! I can't believe I've made it this far, but here's a bit of a spoiler: There will be a lot of new characters added! By the way this Chappie is from Gary's point of view.

Chapter 7: Be my savior

*Gary's POV*

It was dark... But I kept going, heading towards those screams... The screams that were calling for me, to save them.

So I ran. That's all I could do... I ran and I ran, but it seemed as if I was getting no where. The screams slowly faded... They quieted into the darkness of the forgotten shrine...

I'm so sorry, Ash.

I stopped when I couldn't hear the screams anymore. I turned and frantically looked for for anything. A sign of where he might be... All I could see was the dark hollowness of the shrine. All I could hear were the creaking of the old wood underneath my feet as I kept running. I stopped...

I'm all alone.

Just as I had wished for... To be alone.

No.

I'm not alone. I have only three friends left in this world... I can't even protect the one I care for most... I have to find him...

Ash...

Noel...

Umbreon...

... That's right! I have Umbreon!

I put my hand in my pocket and grabbed the poke ball. I threw it and out popped my little friend.

" Umbreon! I need you to help me get outta here! Where's the door?" I said, remembering Umbreon could see in the dark.

Umbreon bit my pant's leg and guided me through the darkness until we reached a door.

I quickly found the handle and opened the door up. When I gazed outside I thought I would be happy to see light... But I wasn't.

Oh no...!

It had looked as if a tornado and an earthquake had happened all at once. The earth was cracked and the trees were crushed into mere twigs.

This isn't good.

Then suddenly I heard the rumbling of a truck. I turned to see people throwing Ash and Pikachu into the back of a large red truck.

I quickly picked up Umbreon and ran towards the truck. The truck started and just as it was about to leave... I threw Umbreon at the truck.

" SHADOW BALL!"

The truck flipped onto it's side from the impact and I could hear screaming coming from the truck. I dashed over to the truck and opened the back, and there, lying in the back, was Ash.

I smiled, seeing him safe was all I needed to be happy. But he wasn't out of danger yet. I had to get him out of here.

Ash was out cold, probably from when the car flipped over. I smiled at his adorable sleeping face and dragged him out of the truck.

Ow!

Next thing I knew, I was on the ground, starring up at a girl who looked Ash's age. She had chestnut hair and hypnotic blue eyes. Her hair was probably shoulder length but it was tied back in a short ponytail that reached almost to her spine. Although, I thought she was kinda cute. She wore a long black cloak, the same as that purple haired guy.

Who is she?

" What are you doing here? And what do you want with my Dimitri's toy?" the girl said, in kind of a country accent.

Dimitri's toy? Does she mean Ash? Who's Dimitri?

" Um... That's my friend." I said.

" Oh! I know who you are!" she exclaimed," Your my Dimitri's other toy! Yeah! He said there were two of you! Oh, he'll be so proud of me when I bring both of you to him!"

" Wait...? You don't mean Dimitri is the guy with purple hair, do you?" I said, realising who she was talking about.

" Oh, ho, ho. So you've met him?" she asked.

" Sure, you could say that. Hey cutie, what's your name anyway?" I asked, hoping to distract her.

" Oh, lil' ol' me? My name's Vixen. Pleased to meet y-" she stopped when I tripped her and she fell with a "thud".

" Why you...!" she said, furiously.

Then she got up, in the blink of an eye, and picked up Ash.

" You want him so badly! Then come get him!" Vixen said, running off.

I was just as angry as she was, but something occured to me...

She didn't take Pikachu.

I got up and dug through the truck and eventually found Pikachu in a little cage in the back.

Pikachu can lead me to Ash.

I found the keys and unlocked the cage, to let the furry beast out.

" I need you to help me find, Ash! He's in big trouble!" I said, not realising how lame that sounded.

The beast nodded and jumped out the window and started to run off.

" Hey, wait!" I yelled after the beast.

I followed Pikachu farther through the forest and into an abandoned warehouse.

" Are you sure we're in the right place?" I said, questioningly.

" Pika!" Pikachu said frustrated.

Where are you!

" Oh, ho, ho! So you've found my lil' hide out, have you?" a voice echoed throughout the warehouse.

" Show yourself!" I yelled.

" Fiesty aren't we? Well, okay! Only 'cuz you insisted!" the voice giggled.

Then Vixen appeared from the shadows in her long dark cloak.

Where's Ash?

" What's that look for? Oh, no! Your not upset with me are you?" Vixen pursed her lips, mockingly as she talked.

" Where's Ash?" I said, getting angry.

" Hmph... Why do you care?" Vixen pouted.

" Because he's my friend! Now tell me or-"

" Or what? You'll skin me? You can't intimidate me!" Vixen interuppted me.

" I'll Kill Dimitri." I said, my face bland.

" Y-you'll what...? Y-you can't kill Dimitri!" Vixen trembled.

" Oh of course I can't, but my friend can. You see she's an absol, who loves blood. She'd cut him slowly and painfully with her claws, just to hear him scream." I said, trying to mess with her.

" No, you can't! Don't kill him! Please!" Vixen bellowed, and then she finally broke down in tears.

"..."

" I won't kill him if you give me Ash." I said, bluntly.

" O-okay... You promise?" Vixen said, her eyes teary and red. And her nose runny from crying so much.

" I promise." I said sincerely, with a smile.

" Okay, I'll go get him." then she ran off somewhere in the warehouse.

/10 minutes later/

"..."

She tricked me!

As I realised what just happened, I ran off towards the direction I saw her go.

Then I found a room and my heart raced. I opened the door and what I saw was even worse than I expected...

ME: Sorry it's so short! I wanted a cliff hangar... C:

R&R! Thanks!
