Chapter 9: Return

The three magnificent dogs stood by, howling. The dogs raced towards the titans, quickly knocking them down like bowling pins. Everyones mood quickly changed, as the dogs quickly cleared the incoming wave. The remaining trainers were quick to assist the dogs. And minutes later, they had defended Route 1.
Although there was no cheering, there was a big sigh of relief among everyone, until a young dwarven man asked,

"Where did the big titans go?"

Everyone started panicking.

"It doesn't matter" N said, "It's important that everyone evacuates to the Indigo League.."

"Eren, are you alright?" the woman asked her child as she violently hugged him.

"I'm fine… Mum" Eren replied

"I'll kill you if do that again! You hear me?" the woman shouted.

"Lance, Ash and Gary, follow me" Red said, as he took off to Pallet town.

They arrived at the front gate, with ahead of them is a razed town.

The group splitted up into two groups of two, Lance and Gary, and Ash and Red, in hope of they find anyone friendly.

Ash and Red quickly made their way to what used to be Professor Oak's lab. The roof, the walls, the high tech gadgets Ash didn't understand was gone, just dirty
white tiles remain. On top of the hill, they saw large amounts of titans by the beach. Red grabbed out his binoculars and started searching for anything useful.

"Red, Reeed" Ash whispered. Ash pointed down towards the bottom of the hill where several grunts were walking up the hill with a broken down titan.
Red pointed to a couple of large bushes near what used to be the lab.
Moments passed, and the grunts were never heard or seen again.

"You didn't have to be that brutal" Ash grinned
"It's revenge" Red evilly replied, "Anyway, I'm going to get my Charizard to carry the titans back so we know what we are really dealing with."
Ash and Red, continued towards the beach, where they believed some people are held hostage.

As they're jogging through the streets, a herd of grunts ran towards the eastern side of the town, leaving a weak defense on the western side. Ash and Red traveled more to the west thanks to the diversion.

As the sun was setting, they had found Rocket unloading cargo from their ships. Ash and Red were witnessing the most horrific things they had ever seen. Civilians being pushed into crates without much holes to breathe through, and then being launched into the sea.

They progressed further into the beach, eventually finding Professor Oak and Delia, in the middle of the beach, with bruises, cuts, and bleeding arms. They hid behind stacks of crates, where they were able to survey the beach.

A group grunts opposite of the crates they were hiding behind started chatting about a important shipment coming within a hour.

"This shipment could quickly decide the fate of Kanto!" one of the grunts exclaimed

"Bullcrap. Our victory was sealed from the very start." One of the grunts replied angrily.

"Ash, I'll be right back, stay here." Red whispered as he took off.

"Wait, what?" Ash tried to ask, but was too slow. "Dammit, If I don't do something now, I'm screwed."

Ash crept off, sneaking towards a small warehouse, where he could hide for a while. As he got to the door of the small warehouse, the lights went out.
