Deep Forest, 6:43 PM

"STUPID BUGS!" "It's just a Caterpie, Misty. Nothing to be afraid of." The group of Ash, Misty, and Drew make their way through the forest, Pikachu sitting on Ash's shoulder. Professor Sabrina leads the way, using her psychic powers to clear their path of any branches or vines in the way.

"I don't get it." Drew says, walking along their narrow path with Roserade by his side. "Why is it you're not afraid of heights, the dark, or getting hurt, but you're afraid of bugs. Of all things, bugs."

Stepping over a tree root, Misty replies. "I'm not afraid of bugs. I just strongly dislike them. They're one of the three most disgusting things in the world, the other two-"

"Yeah, yeah, we know Mist," Ash says with an eye roll. "The other two being carrots and peppers." "Pika..."After saying this, he trips over the same tree root Misty just stepped over, knocking her down and Pikachu tumbling after.

"Ash!" "Sorry Mist, tree root." Chuckling, Drew holds out a hand. Roserade copies his action and helps to pull them up.

The group continues on their way, Ash tripping a few more times and knocking Misty over. After the fifth time, they knock into Drew, all three of them falling to the ground.

"Geez Ash, and here I thought May was clumsy." Psychic energy lifts them up, putting them each on their feet. Gesturing silently, Sabrina stops the group and points towards a small clearing. Curled up in the protection of some wild Pokemon is Kannokou. Quiet sobbing heard, a few tear tracks running down her face. A stone shrine sits nearby.

Sabrina closes her eyes and the wild Pokemon freeze as if listening to something. A few moments later, they all seem to relax. A small Hoot-Hoot hops over to Sabrina, chirping a message.

Opening her eyes, Sabrina says, "It seems that the guardian of the forest would like some company. The Guardian may come by to say hello. This girl, however-" Sabrina looks towards Kannokou gently. "She is very troubled at the moment. I can help her but she hasn't completely calmed down. We will wait for the Guardian then return to the school. The girl is perfectly safe."

Ash furrows his eyebrows. "We can't just leave her here. What if a big wild Pokemon came by?"

Sabrina smiles knowingly. "It will cause no harm. She can protect herself. Now come, the Guardian is approaching."

Slowly, Sabrina stands, walking into the clearing. The wild Pokemon make a small path That leads to the shrine and Kannokou. Feeling a presence, Kannokou looks up, confused. Seeing her reaction, Ash also gets up and enters the clearing. Kannokou seems to have an inner panic, eyes flashing.

Suddenly, a strange light appears descending from the sky. Landing on the stone shrine, the light intensifies before revealing a small green Pokemon. The Pokemon blinks then grins, looking around.

Kannokou lets out a small sob, another tear appearing from the corner of her eye. Hearing the sob, the Pokemon flutters down, wiping away the tear before it falls.

"Celebi!"


"So what do we do, just wait for them to come back?" May tosses a Pokeball in the air, Blaziken catching it and tossing it back.

Suddenly the alarms start blaring, the lights shutting off. A click is heard and the light come back on. Instead of the normal yellow-white glow, the lights send an ominous red glow down on the three students.

"Code Red. All staff report to the main office immediately. All students must go to their dorm and stay there. Seniors, stand guard. I repeat, Code Red." Lance's voice is heard over the speakers.

"What's going on?" Dawn spins around, hugging Piplup tightly.

Footsteps echo from down the hall. A strange blur passes by then stops, turning around, revealing it was a Weavile.

"Hey, isn't that Luna's Weavile?" Weavile makes a few gestures, pointing down the hall and covering her ears. May and Dawn approach Weavile, crouching down to eye level.

"Weavile! You find them yet?" Weavile stops gesturing and turns around, jumping up and down. The footsteps get closer and Luna appears. She stops next to Weavile, the note gripped in her hand.

"Luna! What are you doing here?" May asks. Weavile begins freaking out again, tugging on both May and Dawn's sleeves and pointing down the wall.

"I'll explain later, where did Ash, Misty and them go?" Luna asks hurriedly.

"Sure Luna, they went to the forest. It's the boarded up hallway just over there." Dawn points past Paul to a dark hallway. "Why are you looking for them?"

Weavile runs towards the hall while Luna tries to explain, showing Dawn and May the note. Quickly scanning through the note, the two girls begin to understand. Paul starts to also head down the hall Weavile ran down, having quickly read the note himself. The girls follow.

A little ways down the hall, the group arrives at the boarded up passage. A few of the wood boards seem to be disturbed, a small path breaking through.

Weavile waits in the entrance, her red eyes seeming to glow in the dark. The alarm continues to sound in the background.

"They're just in through here. It's only been a few minutes, they can't have gotten too far in." May peers into the small path and into the darkness.

"You never know. Besides, the alarm doesn't reach into the forest." Dawn makes her way down the passage, May lighting the way with Blaziken's fiery wrists. Cautiously, Luna follows with Paul in the back. As the group progresses, the alarm sound gets fainter and fainter until they cannot hear it at all. They begin to hear the songs of wild bird Pokemon and of little Rattatas and Sentrets scurrying about.

The hallway tiles fade into stone than dirt, trees towering over them. Luna and her Weavile gawk at the wildlife, a few Pidgeys landing on a branch near by.

"This place is huge...!" Luna laughs, exhilarated at the new sight.

"You haven't seen a forest before?" May asks, surprised. She pauses from her search of a path.

Weavile sniffs the air, searching for a scent while Luna spins around, distracted. "Never this big! I've seen small ones but I've never been in one."

"Over here." Paul calls, motioning the girls to see something. As the girls walk over, Luna slightly skipping, they see a trail of footprints leading through the trees. The path following the footprints seems to be mostly clear of wildlife, leaving a small trail wide enough for one person to go at a time.

"Wow, it looks like they went this way." Dawn says, smiling at Paul. "Great eye!" Paul grunts, not making any comments. Dawn pouts, discouraged.

May giggles then says, "Good point Dawn. Let's follow the footsteps and see where we end up."

Leading the way with Blaziken, May begins to make her way down the small trail. A few steps in, she trips on a tree root, falling over. Dawn and Paul sweatdrop, Luna a bit distracted to notice.

Weavile sniffs where the footprints are, nodding to confirm that they were made by the first group. Seeing this, Luna get serious, pushing Dawn and Paul down the path.

"Now I'll be in the back to make sure we don't lag much. You two keep going. May will lead the way!" As she says this, they hear May fall over again, Blaziken helping her up.

Thinking again, Luna says, "Okay... Paul, you lead." Sighing, Paul quickens his walking pace, passing May. The group heads on through the forest, the songs of wild Pokemon continuing on.


I did write more but I moved it to the next chapter. Didn't know how to end it so I just stopped where that last part ended. Sorry! School is starting next week and fall sports already started. I play golf (I know, lame. It's a sport so it works.) and we have practice almost every day so... yeah. Sorry.
