I found this chapter just lying around. I guess he...I wrote it a while ago and forgot about it. Anywho, here it is.

BONUS CHAPTER

Extinction

One day prior to the death of the last human...

"Mother, may I go outside to play?" Monty asked innocently.

"Yes, my dear, but please, stay away from humans," his mother warned.

Monty nodded, a bit annoyed. "I know, mother. You tell me every day. 'Now, Monty. You are a Snivy, and you are rare. Humans will snap you up and steal you as soon as they would look at you!'" he repeated.

His mother smiled. "At least I know I'm getting somewhere with you. Go, have fun."

"Alright, thanks, mother!"

Monty didn't understand why his mother was always telling him that. Be careful around humans? What humans? They're all dying, aren't they? Monty mentally slapped himself for thinking that. You shouldn't think those thoughts, Monty. Very...macabre.

Monty wandered around outside, whispering to himself about adventures he placed himself in within his mind. He didn't have too many friends free at this time of the day, so he amused himself by having adventures of his own. He was no longer Monty Montgomery. He was the captain of an exploration team, exploring the frontier, finding new lands.

"Captain Monty! Where are we going today?" his faithful partner, Mia asked.

Monty put his hands on his hips heroically. "We're going to explore the unexplored!"

Some Pokémon made fun of him for talking to himself in strange voices. But these taunts meant nothing to Monty Montgomery, Exploring Rescue Team Captain Extraordinaire. These spare moments, spent with the friends he made, rivaled the moments he spent with his real friends.

"But Captain Monty! Are we going to be safe?" Mary exclaimed, putting her hand to her forehead dramatically.

Another thing some people didn't understand about Monty's adventures; he insisted on making all of his 'friends' human. Mary Sue, James, John, Mia, all of his pretend friends were human. Some Pokémon called him perverted, but it didn't bother Monty. He had fun, and to him, that was what mattered.

Monty's mother watched from inside. He was a strange one, that was for sure. He talked to himself, as if he were acting out all the parts of a play. Well, kids will be kids, she thought.

"Monty, where are we of to today?" John asked.

Monty shook a finger at him. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's Captain Monty, John. But I'll still answer your question. We are headed off to the dreaded Perlex Forest."

"But Captain Monty! That's unexplored territory!" Mary Sue pleaded, a single tear rolling down her perfect cheeks.

Monty nodded solemnly. "That's exactly why we're going, Mary. It's our duty to our country - nay, the world, that we explore what has never been explored, brave dangers never before dangered, conquer new ranges never before deranged. And don't worry...I'll protect you."

James huffed. "Perlex Forest, ah? Do we have the provisions? After all, it just popped up about a month ago. We don't know what's in there."

"Oh, I know what's in there," Mia turned to look at James with a very serious look. "Or...I know what dangers are there."

"Really?" Monty gaped. "But it's unexplored territory! How did you know?"

Mia smiled. "Townspeople tell you anything with a bit of...persuasion. There's a rumour going around that anyone who enters the forest...never comes out."

Everyone gasped, tearing at their faces in horror.

"Some say," Mia continued, "that if you listen late at night, you can hear the anguished cries of the prisoners of the forest."

John looked up at the sky uncomfortably. "B-b-but the sun is setting! It'll be night soon!"

"Then we'd better get started," Monty said bravely. "C'mon, time's a-wastin'!"

One hour prior to the death of the last human...

"Captain Monty! I'm scared...hold me," Mary Sue ran close to Monty, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

Mia looked around. "There's something fishy going on here...Guys, don't look at one thing too long. I think this place is cursed."

"C-c-cursed?" John stammered.

James frowned, slapping John on the back of the head. "Oh, stop being such a crybaby."

"I'm not a crybaby! You're a crybaby!" John yelled back.

"Why you-" James said through clenched teeth. "You take that back!"

"James! John!" Monty roared angrily. "Stop your petty arguing and focus on the mission!"

"Yes, Captain Monty," James and John said remorsefully.

Mary Sue fawned over Monty. "Oh, you're so brave, coming into a scary forest like this."

"Wow..." Mia said slowly, bending over to sniff a flower. "This flower smells so good..."

"Mia, no!" Monty yelled, reaching for her. "You're not supposed to look at anything for too-"

"It's too late," James said, crying. "She's gone."

Monty looked at Mia, passed out over the flower. "No..."

John looked around him warily. "I'm beginning to have second thoughts about coming in here..."

"You always had second thoughts about coming in here, coward!" James snickered.

"...are you talking to me?" A voice came from a bit away in the woods.

"Shh!" Monty hissed at John and James, who were still bickering. "Do you hear that?"

"You take that back, dolt!" John screamed, punching James upside the head.

James, after recovering, smirked through a bloody nose. "Fine, I think I will!" He socked John on the cheekbone.

"John! James! Stand at attention!" Monty screamed at them, becoming frustrated.

They didn't listen. They just stopped saying words and just focused all their energy on killing each other. Monty became concerned. He began slowly approaching them. "...John?...James?"

John and James ignored him. They kept hitting each other harder and harder, not giving up, their words of anger becoming primal grunts.

"Captain Monty, what do we do?" Mary Sue asked dramatically, bringing the back of her hand to her forehead.

"I...I don't know..." Monty stuttered. This had never happened before. His characters never did this.

"It's soooooooo soooofffft..." The voice came back from farther down the path. After it finished, James and John both collapsed to the ground. Monty was horrified. He ran up to them, shaking them vigorously, trying to wake them from their eternal slumber.

"James! John! No! Wake up! Wake up, wake up!" Monty screamed. For the first time in all of his adventures, Monty was getting scared. His friends never died. They never killed each other! What was happening to them?

He stood up resolutely. "Come on, Mary Sue. Let's finish the map and get out of-"

Mary Sue was gone too.

No.

"Do you..." Coughing came from down the path. The mysterious voice continued. "Do you think we'll become Skull Kids? You know, like the ones in Zelda?"

Monty's curiosity was piqued. Forgetting about his dead friends, he walked slowly down the path of the forest, brushing back large leaves. Following the late Mia's advice, he ignored any wonderment around him, focusing solely on the mission at hand.

"I don't know."

Monty parted a last pair and leaves, and saw two human children, a boy and a girl, falling asleep on the grassy floor in a clearing.

"Good night, Shari."

"Good night, Ben."

The moment of the death of the last human...

Monty giggled. He always liked the way humans spoke. Their language was so weird. He was almost sad they were dying off. His mom told him there was some virus going around that only targeted humans. And there were two of them, right there. Just sleeping. No stirring...no speaking...no imprisoning Pokémon...

No breathing.

Monty began to sense something was wrong. He slowly walked up to the human boy, passed out on the ground. Putting his hand on the boy's chest, Monty felt for a heartbeat. There was none.

Is he dead? Is...is she dead? Monty wondered, looking over at the little girl. Are they siblings? Where are their parents? She isn't breathing either...

Monty suddenly felt very sad, as if them dying was his fault. These two were special, for some reason. What if they're the last humans ever? Suddenly, Monty didn't want to leave them. He sat with them, mourning their deaths because no Pokémon would. A lot of the Pokémon he grew up with were convinced humans were no better than slave drivers. Monty believed they were much more than that. But if these were the last humans, nobody would care that they were gone. So Monty sat there, on the grass, next to the two children, and gave thanks for their life. He gave thanks for his friends' lives, too, since they had also died.

After a long time, Monty got up. He gave one final glance to the two children, failing to notice the grass crawling up their bodies, and headed for home. This forest...there's something wrong with it.

Goodbye, humans.
