Celadon City – 12:43 PM

The Trainers were scattered around the city looking for resources like food and drinks since they have lived here for one month and the vending machine started to run out of canned drinks. Also the food on the shelves and in the fridges started to run down too and all the fruit have gone off; rotting. Edward and Susan are at the Celadon Condominiums. Gary and Amy were at the restaurant for food and drinks but only found a bit. Leon and Lyra went in to all the small houses but they found nothing. This was hopeless so they went to the fountain for a rethink.

"I think we need to go to another city" suggested Lyra.

"I agree" says Leon.

Everyone including Amy put in a reassuring nod.

"But where?" she asked.

"I want to go to Fuchsia City" says Susan.

"Fuchsia sounds good"

"Yeah, I like that" says Edward.

"Are you guys planning on walking there?" asked Amy.

Everyone fell silent. "I got Togekiss" says Lyra. "Leon do you have a flying Pokemon?"

"Yes, I got Crobat. But only one person can be on it" he answered. "And that's me"

"Fine" says Susan aggressively. "I'll walk" then she shoots a glare at Edward.

"I'll come with you" he says."Gary?"

"Can I go on Lyra's Togekiss?"

Susan was about to burst out and shoot a scream at him but forced herself not to. "Do whatever you want"

"Don't worry about being in danger guys" says Amy. "I'll look over your safety"

"Thank you. Should we go now?"

"Yep"

Near Celadon

Zapdos heading near Celadon city without Articuno or Moltres is quite dangerous. Not to mention that Amy is as powerful as Moltres. But Zapdos was on another target; Lyra and Gary. Zapdos followed them as they were heading north to Fuchsia City. Gary behind Lyra turned his head at an angle so his left eye took a small peak at whom or what's behind: Zapdos. He waited until Zapdos was close, then he took out his Poke Ball and released Arcanine at Zapdos. Arcanine landed on Zapdos's back, put both front paws on its face and shot a Flame Thrower at it making a big bang.

"What was that!?" shouted Lyra.

"It's nothing!" answered Gary as he watched the Dog and the Bird fall from the sky with pumps of electricity and fire.

Over Route 18

Arcanine and Zapdos continued falling, rolling around in the air, Zapdos trying to break away from Arcanine. The fire dog finally made a grip on its back again but Zapdos used Thunder Bolt electrocuting Arcanine. The yellow bird let the dog fall of its body. Arcanine, only half conscience of what's going on continued falling and then fell into and through the building connecting the city and Route 18. Arcanine lay there almost dead from the impact blood flowing from its forehead.

Fuchsia City

Gary and Lyra landed right in the middle of the city."I never expected this" said Lyra struggling to keep her in the slippery, ice covered foot path.

"Probably Articuno" says Gary.

"Yeah" Lyra took a few steps. "Wow!" shouted Lyra as she nearly slipped holding onto Gary's shoulder. "I can't walk like this!"

"Hold my hand" says Gary putting out his left accepted the offer and took it. She was surprised how strong his grip has.

"Please don't break it"

"What?"

"Your hand is awfully big and strong"

"Okay" Gary walked slowly along the red-purple path and Lyra holding onto his hand sliding behind him. They walked for a few minutes and had only managed to walk to the Poke Mart. The whole building was covered in ice like a large ice cube. Gary let go of Lyra's hand.

"Wait! What are you doing?"

"Nothing" answered Gary. "Just don't move" Gary touched the ice. It felt cold but not as cold as he expected.

"Can we use Arcanine to melt it?"

"Yes. Very good thinking"

Lyra only smiled at herself. Then she slipped back but Gary quickly grabbed her by the waste and back. She opened her eyes to see Gary's face. Lyra felt a bit uncomfortable now that their faces are only mere centimetres from touching. Gary pulled up Lyra to her feet. Lyra blushed red too embarrassed to look at him. Gary didn't notice this and took a few steps forward but stopped.

"Aren't you coming?"

"Uh...yeah" she says struggling to take a step.

"You can't walk can you?"

"Uh...no"

"Here" Gary took her right hand and put it around his left shoulder. Then out his right arm under knees and lifted her made a small sound as she felt the strength in his arms lifting her up.

"What?"

She was about to say 'Nothing' but then thought that hiding her shyness was pointless. "I wasn't...expecting...that" she started blushing again but this time an even more red.

"Well I guess I should tell the truth"

"What truth?"

"I'm just screwing around with you, making you uncomfortable and stuff. It's cute when I see girls blushing and suddenly becoming shy"

"Well then I guess you should put me down" Gary said nothing until he saw Leon standing several meters then dropped Lyra on the cold, hard ground. "Damn Gary that hurt! What was that for!?"

"Sorry but Leon's here"Lyra looked over and waved a 'hello'.Leon walked up to them.

"So what was that about?"

"She can't walk" answered Gary. Leon looked confused.

"Hey I can walk!" shouted Lyra.

"Let me rephrase that. She can't walk on ice"

"Do you expect me to walk on ice?"

"Well I can"

"And me too" added Leon. Lyra made an attempt to get to her feet but fell on her knees.

"You're just going to stand there? Help me!"

"Okay" says Gary"

"NO! Not you. Leon" Leon got her to her feet."Don't want you screwing around with me"

"Gary what have you been doing to her?" asked Leon.

"Just making here uncomfortable and blush as well" Gary walked away from them.

"Where are you going?"

"To find Arcanine"

"I don't know if you should"

"Why?"

So there we have it, another chapter up. Hoped you all enjoyed this chapter and the story so far. Not much to say really but Gary will be in for a shock. Favourite and Review.
