Hey everybody! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter, cant believe I forgot to add in: Review if youd like and please no flames! At the end! Oh well, Ill be sure to put it in this time!

On more important matters, this chapter is pretty much the really long bus ride. Hey! Things can happen on a bus ride! And yes things will hopefully be interesting. Now lets get this chapter on the road!

I own nothing at all!

The buses were in a single file as they went down the path to their destination. Although some went much faster than others, making some students, and perhaps even the drivers, to think it was a race. A very rocky path was coming up and many took a hold of their seats.

"Wee!" Cross and Maikee said as the bus rumbled and shook fast, though they were quickly disappointed when it had come to an end. "How much longer?" Tyron exclaimed and received a sharp stare from a teacher, "when I say so," he responded.

"Jeez, talk about cranky," he mumbled to himself, and popped in his earphones. AnnaLisa had brought along a novel she had been currently reading and was very into it, "closer...closer..." she mumbled. 'Just hurry up and kiss her already! Do I have to go in there and force you two?' She thought, slightly shaking her book. Kain on the other hand thought something was wrong and placed a hand on hers.

"Something wrong?"

"N-No! Nothing's wrong!"

"Then why are you shaking?''

AnnaLisa had a faint blush on her face but held the book in front of her and pointed to the two people on the cover, "t-them! T-They take such a long time to k-k-kiss!"

"Oh."

She nodded and put the book back in her black bag, adjusted her glasses and turned to face the window, her face redder than her ruby red hair. Cross smiled widely, earning a weird look from Ryen, "what's up?" he asked her.

"Stuff," she merely said.

"What kind of stuff?"

"Do I really have to say?"

"Hm...yes!" He smiled at her as she pouted slightly, "awwe, you're cute when you pout!" Ryen complimented her and ruffled her hair a bit. She giggled and they got into a quiet conversation. The only things that could be heard was 'what?' and 'I know!'

"Seems like they're getting along quite nicely," Mimi said to herself, noticing that Brian had a bit of an irritated look on his face. "Why don't you just go talk now?"

"I said I would later."

"Uh-huh, well sooner the better," she told him, "before you might lose her." He nodded and just waited for this bus ride to come to an end.

The bus came to a stop on a dirt road to their destination. The bus driver came out and tried to get the engine to start, "come on ya damn thingy," he grumbled to himself but everyone heard him, snickering at the fact he said 'thingy' for no reason really. "We're stuck," he told the teacher who furrowed his eyebrows.

"We can't be stuck! We have to be there soon."

"Listen man, unless you want to go find some mechanic to figure out the damn problem, then we're stuck." The teacher sighed and decided to take a look around the woods to see if there was anything or anyone who could help.

Seconds became minutes and minutes become a few hours, "where's the teacher?" Maikee questioned.

"He said he'd be right back," Tyron said.

"Well he's taking a bit too long, he should have been back by now."

A long silence went through the bus, everyone worrying. Mimi stood up and headed outside, "I'm going to find him." The bus driver tried to stop her but she simply glared and stepped off. "I'm going too," Kain said, also slightly worried. AnnaLisa flushed but followed him, followed by her brother Ryen, Tyron and the rest of them.

The dark woods were dense, the occasional sound of twigs breaking and the leaves swaying ever so slightly. They felt like they were being watched, a tingling sensation everytime a noise was made. AnnaLisa was shaking a lot but felt her hand bein held, she instantly calmed down as she saw Kain was holding it in his.

"HootHoot!" Big red eyes were staring at AnnaLisa and she ran, climbing up a tree, twenty feet tall. "AnnaLisa!" Maikee called, "come down from there!"

"I-I can't!" She whimpered loudly, "I d-don't know h-how!"

"Well I can't climb," Cross said, "why don't you use Dragontie Maikee?"

"Good idea!" She went to her belt but stopped short, "shit."

"What's wrong?" Mimi asked, "we were only supposed to bring one Pokemon, I brought Absol..." Maikee replied with her head hanging low.

They all looked up at the scared girl who was clinging to the tree for dear life, "h-help?" Then one of them proceeded to climb the tree. They watched as Kain slowly got closer to her and eventually got there, sitting on a branch beside her. He held out his hand and she shakily took it. The branch started moving, unable to support both their weights, she clung to him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. He held her tight as the branch snapped and the two were falling at a high speed.

The rest were suprised as they landed safely on the ground. AnnaLisa more safe than Kain, he landed on his feet but it added a lot of pressure causing it to be in a lot of pain. AnnaLisa's eyes welled up, "I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" She whimpered and sobbed. When Kain was finished getting patched up, he stood up and put a hand on her head, "don't blame yourself," he simply said and held her hand again as they continued on their way.

"Hey, there's a town over there!" Cross pointed.

"Alright, everyone get a partner just in case," Maikee said.

"Now's probably your chance," Mimi nudged Brian. He nodded and quickly took a hold of her hand.

So the pairs were: Kain with AnnaLisa and Ryen, Brian and Cross, Mimi and Andy, Maikee with Tyron and Akira. "We'll meet up back here in two hours, if something happens, you call. Set your phones on vibrate just in case, this place seems like a ghost town..." Maikee finally said before they split up.

As soon as they got into town enough, they sent out their Pokemon and a mist started to envelop they place. They started feeling strange and stuck closer to each other. What none of them realized was that they weren't the only ones there.

A small clinking sound was heard and Cross held onto Brian's sleeve tightly, "it'll be fine," he assured her. She nodded but kept her grip on him, "I promise I won't leave," and they kept walking into the darkness with his Umbreon and her Vaporeon by their sides. They looked out the window, "it's not rain or snow..." Brian said.

"What was that?" AnnaLisa frantically asked as she whipped her head around trying to find any sort of life in the desolate area. "I'm not sure but-" Kain was stopped short as he looked up. "Rain? No, it's not wet. Snow maybe?" Ryen thought aloud.

"It's...ashes?" AnnaLisa said quietly, "what's going on around here?"

"Hey Maikee," Tyron said, "do you know what's going on? What's this stuff fallin from the sky?" Akira picked up some of the fallen substance from the ground, "it's something burned."

"So ashes or something?"

"Most likely," they stared at the sky and Maikee decided to call the rest of the gang.

Mimi's purple phone vibrated and she instantly picked it up, "Mimi here."

"Hey Mimi! Do you have any idea what's going on here?"

"Sorry Maikee, I'm clueless as to what is going on right n-" Mimi was stopped short as Andy came running back with his Flygon behind him, followed by some Arbok. The small pack of Arbok didn't look ordinary, they crept closer showing their blood red eyes and they looed as if they were zombies or something. They opened their jaw to review their razor sharp teeth and forked tongues.

"Sora, use Flamethrower on them!" Andy commanded.

"You idiot!" Mimi said as his Flygon hit the zombie-like Arbok but also the building they were in. Mimi ran out as fast as she could but the door was jammed shut, her Umbreon was unable to break it down. Neither could Ryen or Andy. The flames rose and spread as the three desperately tried to escape. Andy grabbed Mimi and Ryen's wrists and hopped onto his Flygon, "let's get out of here!" Andy shouted and Flygon sent a Hyper Beam towards the ceiling and started shooting up to the gaping hole.

They got out with a few scratches but fine altogether. Mimi picked up her phone and dialed all her friends, "becareful! Something isn't right here, we got attacked so everyone be warned!" They landed but had more Arbok and some Fearow coming after them, Mimi dealed with the Arbok while Andy took care of the Fearow.

"Come on," Brian said and motioned for the rest of them to follow inside a small room, being as careful as he could. A flock of Chingling came out, looking as zombie as everything else. They launched a powerful grouped Thunder at them, Vaporeon launched an Ice Beam at the Shadow Ball Umbreon had flung at them. They were knocked out momentarily giving Cross, Brian and their Pokemon a chance to escape.

"Use Ice Beam and make a wall!" Vaporeon nodded and quickly made a shimmering wall of ice to further help their escape. The four eventually got outside but were ambushed by a bunch of Seviper. Again, zombie-like.

"Let go of me!" Cross flailed as a huge Pidgeot swooped down and grabbed her, its talons piercing her skin. She let out a small cry of pain once she was free from its grip and winced in the sharp pain she felt. "We got to keep going," she said and cringed as she ran, "everyone! Meet back, something is definitely wrong with this place," she put her phone away. Trying to get back as soon as possible, time was a key factor, Brian picked her up and carried her there piggy-back style. She clutched onto him tightly as they had their Pokemon fought.

They all got back with a herd of these zombie Pokemon coming after them, too many. They couldn't fight back, they were out numbered and out powered. Their Pokemon slumoed to the ground in defeat as the army of living dead came closer and closer.

"I just wanna say you guys are awesome!" Tyron exclaimed as his last few words, "TELL MY MOM I LOVE HER!"

Everyone said their last few words as they felt their energy and strength draining away from them. Though there was one that was only meant for one person as it was whispered into their ear.

"I remember."

DONE! I finished this chapter in a few hours! Oh my gosh it's the end!
