Alright people, I know what your thinking, ''He actually has another chapter up!?''. But don't get your hopes up, the only reason why I have this up is because I woke up early again, but it was a little later than usual, 6:21. Well now the battles are going to start and I hope that you will like them. But I also must warn you, this is where the violence starts. So please forgive me if you don't like violence in your stories, Thank you.

-EVAN AAML

As they reached the entrance, everyone stopped to look at the creepy door in front of them. It was a rather large door, one that you would expect on a old building. Evan raised his hand up and made a fist, ready to knock on the door, when the door slowly opened by it'self. Evan looked back to the gang, who ushered him to go in. He and everyone else entered the building. When everyone made it inside, they looked around. It was a musty building, a obvious meaning that it has been abandoned for many years. The majority of the light came from the open door, some of it came from the windows, which were partially boarded up, some not at all. In the center of the room was a small fountian, which was not in use and was covered in webs.

''So, you all made it, I'm flattered'', a voice echoed throughout the room. Everyone recognized the voice as Poison's and prepared for battle. ''Relax, I'm no wheres near you, I'm speaking through a loud speaker, there are ones all over this building, along with cameras, so that I can see your every move'', Poison said.

''Coward! Come out and fight!'', Steven yelled.

''In time, but I think I should get you started on your little mission. If you haven't notticed already, there are 4 doors in the room you are in, not including the ones you entered from'', Poison explained. As they all looked around, they nottied that he was right. One door was on both sides of the room, one in front of them, beyond the fountain, and one on the second level, which was accesible by a pair of stairs on either side of the room. ''Now then, the doors on the sides of the room only lead to a Kitchen and Social Room, so ignore them. The room currently in front of you will eventually lead you to me and Shadow, but if you know what's good for you, you'll take the door upstairs'', he said.

''Oh yeah, and then you'll all just gang up on us!'', Misty yelled.

''Don't worry, we're all seperated into our own rooms and I gave everyone specific orders not to attack you until their presence is known...I will be guiding you throughout the building so that you don't get lost, isn't that nice of me?...I will see you all later, if you don't die'', Poison said. The loud speakers were then silent.

''So then, what do we do?'', Alexi asked.

''Well, since Poison said that we have to take the upstair's door, that means that the one down here leads us directly to Shadow, or into a trap'', Max said.

''Since he knows that for us to be truley safe, we have to defeat them all, so he probably didn't even want to set up traps'', Evan said.

''So we take the door upstairs?'', Ash asked. Everyone nodded.

''Split up'', Evan said. So then Evan, Stephanie, Carlo, Steven, and Alexi took the stairs to the left while Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, May, and Max took the ones to the right. When they reached the top, they slowly made their way across the hall and in front of the door. Evan then placed his hand on the door slowly, listening to it sqeek. The door lead them to a hallway with only one door at the end of it. Suddenly, the loud speakers spoke.

''Now head down to that door'', Poison said over the loud speaker. Slowly, the gang all headed towards the door. Evan, Steven, and Carlo where in the front, Stephanie, Alexi, May, Brock, and Max where in the middle, and Ash, Misty, and Pikachu tailed behind. As they made their way across, the wooden floor beneath them creeked with every step. Suddenly, the floor broke, causing Misty, Pikachu, and Ash to fall. However, before they fell, Ash grabbed onto Misty's arm with one hand and the remaining floor with the other. Ash then looked down to Misty. She had managed to grab hold of Pikachu, who was now in her arms. The surface below was in total darkness. ''Careful, the building's old...we wouldn't want you to get hurt'', Poison said through the loud speaker. With onlt his arm, Ash lifted Misty up over him and Brock lifted her up. Brock then bent down and helped Ash out of the hole. After he did, Pikachu jumped into Ash's head and they all headed towards the door. When they had reached it, Evan once again slowly turned the knob and pushed it open. ''And now the rest is self explanitory, I will speak to you again later...if you survive obstacle number 1'', Poison said. He then laughed as the loud speakers were turned off. The group then looked down the hall. Like the previous one, it only had one door, but the door was covered in a icy substance. As they all progressed down the hall, the air became colder. Eventually, their breath was visible.

''Bbbrrrrrggghhhh! Why is it so cold?'', Alexi asked, her arms trying to warm her body.

''I'm not sure'', Stephanie replied, warming her body as well. Soon, all the girls were trying to keep warm. Ash then removed his jacket and put it around Misty. Misty looked up at Ash.

''Thanks'', Misty said. Ash smiled. Following by example, Brock removed his vest and put it around Alexi, Carlo removed his for May, and Evan did the same for Stephanie, ( Haha, Steven didn't have to, he's all warm! ). When the girls were all warmed up, everyone headed towards the door. When they reached it, they realized that the door was in fact, covered in ice. Steven tried to open the door, but it was frozen, he then kicked the open the door. When he did. everyone looked in the room. The large room was covered in snow and ice in every knook and cranny. Even the chandelir above seemed to have an icy resemblence. Compared to the rest of the house, this room was pretty bright, due to the light reflecting from the windows onto the ice. At the center of the room, facing them was a figure. Everyone took a closer look and realized that it was Freezer.

''Ah, I see you've made it...good'', Freezer said. She then raised her arms out, as if to get them to see the room. ''Do you like it? I made it myself, just my personal winter wonderland'', she continued.

''Eh, it's a bit too cold for me, just like your heart...isn't that right, Vannesa?'', Carlo said to Freezer. Freezer immediatly became angry and made fists.

''My name is no longer Vannesa, it's Freezer...and now, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU WHY!'', Freezer yelled. As she did, a blizzard started to form and the temperature in the room dropped. Carlo and May, knowing that they had the advantage over her, both ran towards Freezer. They then stopped and put their ams out towards her.

''Heatwave!'', both Carlo and May yelled. Both of them launched their attacks at Freezer. However, Freezer bended backwards, dodging the attacks. The Heatwaves both flew into the wall and exploded, causing the wall they hit to start to be uncovered by the ice. Freezer then held her hand out towards the gang.

''Ice Beam!'', Freezer yelled. She then fired an Ice Beam towards the gang who were still by the door.

''Duck!'', Ash yelled. Everyone then got out of the way of the Ice Beam. The attack hit the door and froze it solid. ''Well there gos our exit!'', Ash said.

''Now how are we supposed to get out of here!?'', Misty asked worridly.

''I'd stop worrying about your exit and start worrying about me!'', Freezer yelled. She then fired another Ice Beam. This time however, Steven and Brock ran in front of the attack. They lowered their arms to the ground.

''Earth Wall!'', Steven and Brock yelled out. They raised their arms and a wall of rock and dirt appeared. The Ice Beam hit the wall. Brock then jumped out from behind the Earth Wall and hit the ground with his fists. This caused a ton of rocks to begin jutting out of the ground, which was directed towards Freezer. Freezer then jumped out of the way and then suddenly, made a Ice Slide, which she slid on towards the gang, ( Like the Silver Surfer, but Ice instead of a silver surfboard ). She slid behind the Earth Wall and while she was in close distance, fired.

''Ice Beam!'', Freezer yelled. She fired the attack at everyone's feet, causing them to freeze. She then slid away from them and looked at her work. Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Alexi, Max, and Evan's feet were all frozen to the ground. As Freezer laughed at this, she turned and suddenly, a rock jutted out of the wall, which she barely ducked from. She looked back and notticed that Steven was causing rocks to come out of the wall and try to hit her. As she slid, more rocks jutted out. Freezer started to dodge, duck, and manuver herself away from the rocks. One rock then jutted out and was going to hit her legs. Freezer, however, jumped off the slide to dodge it. But while she was in the air, another rock appeared, which she ran into. This caused her to fall to the ground. When Freezer landed, Carlo fired a fireball at her. Before she knew what hit her, she was propelled into the wall behind her. Slowly, she regained her composture and stood up. As she did, she became angry. ''How dare you hit me! Now I'm not going to hold back...YOUR ALL DEAD!'', Freezer yelled. She then ran towards the remaining fighters, starting with May. When Freezer was closer, May held out her hands.

''Heatwave!'', May yelled. She then fired the attack. However, Freezer skillfully ducked. She then made a fist.

''Ice Punch!'', Freezer yelled. She then punched May in her stomach, which caused her to fly backwards into a wall. When she it, she fell to the ground in a heap. Everyone looked on in horror as Freezer laughed. Suddenly, she notticed that Evan was flying towards her and prepared to punch her, but Freezer quickly ducked from the punch. As she ducked, she tried to use another Ice Punch, but Evan spun out of the way and put his arms out.

''Level 2 Air Cannon!'', Evan yelled. A Air Cannon then appeared and hit Freezer, who flew due to the gust. Freezer tried to regain control while in the air, but was suddenly brought to a stop. She looked and notticed that a large vine was around her waist and arms. Freezer then notticed Alexi, who's eyes were green.

''How did you all get out!?'', Freezer asked angrily.

''Simple, Brock broke the ice...you seriously need to pay attention'', Alexi answered. She then moved her arm and the vine that was holding Freezer threw her. Freezer managed to regain her composture this time and skid across the floor. When she stopped skidding, she thought for a moment and smiled. She then made a shield of ice. At first, everyone was confused, since none of them were currently attacking her, why would she make a shield. But suddenly, the shield expanded, which then hit everyone in it's path. The gang was thrown against the walls. The shield then dissappeared and Freezer looked around. As she did, she notticed a large ball of flames where a part of the ice shield was. The flames disappeared, revealing a panting Carlo.

''You melted the shield so that you wouldn't get hit!'', Freezer yelled, realizing what he did. Carlo nodded, still panting. ''Well at least your too tired to stop this!'', she continued. Freezer then ran towards Carlo, her hands turning into fists. ''Ice Punch!'', she yelled. Her hands started to freeze as she tried to punch Carlo. He managed to dodge the first punch, but was hit in the face by the second one. Freezer then let out a barrage of Ice Punches at Carlo, hitting him where ever she could. She then did one final blow to his chest, which caused him to fly backwards and land on the ground. As he slowly stood up, everyone notticed the frost and blood on him. Freezer looked at him and laughed. ''And you call yourself a great Pokemon Trainer! I've seen you on t.v in tournaments, always trying to wow the fans...but I've also seen the nerves get the better of you at times...pathetic! This is where it all ends...loser!'', Freezer yelled. She then laughed in a mocking way. All of these words seemed to echo in Carlo's head. It was true, he did love to wow the fans and at times, his nerves did get the better of him...but he certainly didn't want to hear it from her. As Freezer laughed, Carlo put his head down. Suddenly, the temperature in the room began to rise. Freezer stopped laughing and looked at Carlo in confusion. Carlo lifted his head, revealing anger in his eyes.

''You can make fun of me all you want...but when you make fun of my skills...you've crossed the line!'', Carlo said angrilly. He then raised both of his arms out towards Freezer, who looked shocked. ''Ive been saving this attack for later on...but I think I'll use it now'', Carlo said. He then yelled out loud and flames started to appear. The temperature raised drastically and the ice and snow started to melt. Eventually, all of the flames gathered at Carlo's hands. ''Ultimate Inferno!'', Carlo yelled. He then launched the flames, which were the size of 10 Flamethrowers, ( the attack, not the too, ). Freezer, unable to move in time, was hit by the blast. The blast then hit the wall and destroyed a part of it. All of the ice and snow had melted, revealing a normal room. When the flames receaded, Carlo fell to his knees, to tired to move. He panted heavily. He looekd up to where the blast hit and gasped. Standing at the edge of the hole in the wall, her amrs making an X shape by her face, was Freezer. She slowly lowered her arms, revealing burnt skin and blood all over her. She panted heavily and then laughed at what she saw.

''Aha ha ha ha! It looks like your new attack failed! Now your going to die!'', Freezer yelled. Suddenly, a fireball was launched at her. Surprised, she only watched in horror as the fireball hit her. The attack caused her to fly out of the hole in the wall and fall. ''AAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!'', Freezer screamed as she fell to the depths. Everyone turned around and saw May with her hand out, propped against the wall. She had a line of blood from the end of her lip to the side of her chin. She was panting, but smiling as well.

''Well...that takes care...of that'', May said panting. Max and Brock quicky ran to May's side and helped her up while Evan walked over to Carlo and did the same.

''Wait...check the hole..she may not be...'', Carlo said panting. Before he could finish, May interupted.

''We'll check, Max, stay here, I don't want you to see'', May said. Max stepped back as Brock let go of May. She stumbled, but was soon able to walk. Both May and Brock walked over to the hole and looked down. It seemed that the part of the building they were in was over the cliff, since the bottom was a few hundred feet down and ended with the ocean crashing against the cliff and into the rocky landscape below. For a few moments, it was silent while May and Brock scanned for any sign of Freezer. Eventually, they found something.

''Well..'', Max said impatiently. Without looking, they replied.

''Yep...she's dead'', Brock said.

''How can you tell?'', Max asked.

''Take our word for it'', May said. Both of them then slowly walked away from the hole, sorry that they ever looked. The both of them reached the gang, where they all gathered up.

''OK, one down...let's get moving...I don't feel like staying in one place too long here'', Evan said. Everyone nodded.

''Wait, Carlo and May are pretty beatin up'', Alexi said.

''Can't you heal them?'', Ash asked.

''I need to save up my energy for when we really need it, healing takes alot out of you. Besides, I can't heal exhaustion, so Carlo is stuck'', Alexi explained. Max then walked up to May.

''Alrght then, I'll be the one to heal May, that way you save up your energy'', Max said to Alexi. Max then placed his hand on May's stomach. ''Natural Cure!'', Max yelled. The green light the appeared and covered May's stomach. Pretty soon, the light disappeared, but May looked disappointed and confused.

''Nothing, I'm still hurt'', May said. Max looked confused.

''I don't get it, it should have worked!'', Max said worried. Alexi walked over.

''Let me see'', Alexi said. Max stepped to the side as Alexi placed her hand on May's stomach. She then moved her hand up and down her body, as though as she were looking for something, ( This is NOT a lesbian thing, people, grow up! No offense to those who really are lesbians ). She soon stopped, with a worried look. ''Your bleeding internaly, if I don't do something, you could die'', Alexi said. She quickly placed her hand on May's stomach again. ''Level 2 Natural Cure!'', Alexi yelled. The green light appeared as usual, but it came in a quicker, brighter form. Alexi yelled to get her energy up, and when she did, May screamed from the pain of the healing. When Alexi finished, she removed her hand. Both of the girls then fell to the ground, May on her knees, and Alexi on her stomach.

''May!'', Max yelled as he ran to her. Max helped May up while Steven and Evan lifted Alexi up.

''Darn it, she can't even stand up'', Evan said looking at a now panting Alexi.

''So that's two people to weak to go on'', Steven said. However, after Steven said this, Alexi shook her head. Both of the guys looked at her.

''Are you sayin you want to keep going?'', Evan asked. Alexi was still panting, but nodded.

''I'm going too, I don't care how weak I am'', Carlo said, who was now being held by Stephanie. Evan looked at Carlo, and then back to Alexi.

''Alright'', Evan said. He then let go of Alexi as Steven put her on his own back. ''Let's go then'', Evan said. Max then tried to help May up, but she declined and tried to walk herself, which she did. Seeing as how the only door there was sealed up, Evan was going to make another door when suddenly, a bright light appeared on the wall beside them. The light took the form of a rectangle, and then the light disappeared, leaving behind a door. Everyone looked sceptacle, but Ash ignored this and walked up to the door and opened it.

Yes! 10th chapter done! This is my longest story yet! And look, it's only 8:40, typing this only took me 2 hours and 10 minutes! Oh joy! And now, I will be trying to get more sleep, which I doubt I can. I will update for my next chapter possibly tomorrow, since it's Columbus Day, but don't get your hopes up. Also remember, their is a little note on my profile about another story that needs OCs, please look at it. The author removed the story, but I think she is still accepting OCs. And also, I am accepting ideas for stories. I am going to be making my first Song-Fic with the help of Carlos Santos, and after that, I will be making my first horror fic, but I am still open for suggestions. However, you cannot just send them to me, I am making a little contest, I purposly left a mistake in this story, ( it could be on any chapter, other than the notes page ). It is not a spellng mistake or something like that, if you can find it, then you get to send in a idea for a story! I know your all excited for that! I was going to wait and make this contest for when I finished this story, but hey, I'm bored. See you soon!

sincerely, evan, a fan of aaml
