Hey, it's another semi-short one, I'm sorry ):

But hey, this puts this 6000 words+

:D

The two walked down the winding road, they could only see 15 meters in front of them due to some eerie mist, the same mist caused it to look like it was midnight, that, and the extreme foliage.

Serena's grip on Ash's hand continued to tighten.

"Serena you're hurting me." Ash was squirming.

"Oh! I- I'm- I'm sorry Ash, it's just, I really don't like this place." Serena loosened her grip, but maintained a firm hold on him.

"I think Pikachu agrees." Ash pointed out.

Pikachu was clinging to Ash's hair underneath his baseball cap.

~SNAP~

"Ahhhh!" The two shrieked as they jumped to the right, Pikachu nearly being knocked off.

"Ash what was that?" Serena whispered.

"I don't know Serena" Ash tried his best to keep his voice from sounding quaky, he kept telling himself he had to be brave for Serena, no matter what.

"Braixen! Help us out!" Serena opened her starter's pokéball letting out the fire type.

"Can you light our way with your stick Braixen?" Serena spoke with a soothing gental voice, kind and compassionate.

"Brai Brai Braixen!" The fire type help up her stick to light the way.

The fire of Braixen's stick got the group back on the path and headed in the right direction. The light didn't help much, but the couple welcomed anything that made them feel more secure.

Serena wanted to make small talk to get her mind off the topic.

"So do you think Bonnie ever knew?" She asked her partner.

"About what?" The dense one replied.

Serena sighed a deep sigh.

"After all this, you're still as dense as a Robopass aren't you?"

"Oh"! Ash realized his blunder.

"Well I don't know..." Ash thought back to the kiss on the elevator, Bonnie's face was more ecstatic than it was surprised like Clemont's.

"Maybe she did." Ash finally said.

"Ash, I'm glad we're here together, I, I lo-"

Braixen's torch went out and the temperature dropped rapidly, cutting Serena off.

There hand holding turned into a death grip on eachother.

"Braixen, return" Serena held up her pokéball, the red light shot out into the distance.

"Braixen?!" Serena yelled into the darkness.

Ash felt his head, no Pikachu.

"Ash, what do we do?" Serena asked.
