"Farfetch'd use Brick Break!"

"Zoroark dodge and use Night Slash!"

The two Pokémon collided mid air before jumping back towards their trainers.

"How long has this been going on?" Chloe said sitting down. "The rivalry, or the fight?" Lillie asked, from across the table. "Second one." Chloe responded. "This is their fourth fight, overall they have been going for about an hour now." Goh said calmly.

"Farfetch'd use Leaf Blade!"

"Zoroark use Snarl!"

As the dust cleared Zoroark was defeated.

"Alright you two, come inside for some breakfast!" Chloe yelled out the door.

"Visitors or not, you three still have jobs to do here." Professor Cerise said calmly in the meeting area. "There's been strange holes popping up in the underground path leading from Celadon to Saffron. I'd like you to investigate and report your findings." Professor Cerise said. "Alt Roger!" Lillie said doing the salute. Everyone turned to her, her face as red as a Tomato Berry. "Lillie, we don't do that here." Ash whispered back to her. "Is it alright if we tag along, seeing as we're here anyway?" Gladion asked respectfully. "I don't see any problem with that." Professor Cerise said.

"So, this is different." Gladion said, as they went through the tunnel. "They don't have tunnels like this in Alola?" Chloe asked. "We don't even have cities like these in Alola." Lillie said, holding Snowy. "Visibility is low, keep your guard up." Goh said looking ahead. Suddenly they felt the ground cave in under them.

"Come on out Chinchou!" Goh said sending out a Pokémon. It quickly illuminated the surrounding area. "Lillie! Are you okay!" Goh said running over to her. "I'm fine, but where's everyone else?" Lillie asked, dusting off her skirt. "Vull." Snowy cried out. "Snowy!" Lillie shouted, running towards the cry. Snowy was trapped under some rubble. "I'll get you out just hold on!" Lillie said grabbing a rock. "I'll help!" Goh said grabbing another. "There she is!" Lillie said reaching down, grabbing her Vulpix. "I'm glad she's alright, but we should try and find a way out of here." Goh said looking around. "What about using Golurk to get us up?" Lillie suggested. "That would work if I had brought Golurk, but we walked here, so I didn't bring a Pokémon to fly on." Goh said regretting his choices.

"Geoffami." A sound was made. "What was that! Who's there?" Chloe said scared. "Isadgeoffami!" The sound said. "I'm warning you, I'm not to be messed with." Chloe said standing up. "FINALLY!" Gladion shouted pushing himself off the ground. "Oh, Gladion. I'm sorry I didn't realize." Chloe stuttered blushing about what had happened. "Great, looks like we aren't getting out the way we came in." Gladion said, seeing the sheer wall towards the hole. "No signal either, so we can't call for help." Chloe said looking at her phone. "Whatever made this tunnel is big, and likely still here." Gladion said grabbing a Heal Ball. "Umbreon come on out!" Gladion's Umbreon was able to light the room somewhat, and what it couldn't illuminate it would be able to see. "Boltund you come out too." Lillie said sending out her Pokémon. Between Umbreon's eyes, and Boltund's nose. Hopefully they could make it out.

"Chloe! Goh! Gladion! Lillie!" Ash shouted out. "Pika!" Pikachu shouted. There was no response. "Alright buddy, guess it's just us for now." Ash said, adjusting his messenger bag. "Let me see…". Ash said digging his through his bag. "Here we are!" Ash said pulling out a flashlight. "Now we at least can tell where we're going."

"I wonder what kind of Pokémon did all this!" Goh said excitedly climbing over some boulders. "Personally I'd rather not find out." Lillie said cautiously. "Sorry, I guess you're not as passionate about Pokémon as me and Ash huh?" Goh said, a bit disappointed. "It's not a lack of passion. I know plenty about Pokémon, I've just had a few bad experiences with them is all." Lillie said defensively. "I didn't mean to offend you, just trying to make conversation." Goh said a bit guilty. "It's fine, I just want to get out of here as soon as we can." Lillie said calmly. "Well I hope we're headed in the right direction then." Goh said under his breath.

"You know you don't have to be so close." Gladion stated. "Just trying to stick together." Chloe said happily. "Looks like an access tunnel up ahead. Which means we're probably near a city by this point." Gladion said marching forward. "Hey! Wait up!" Chloe said, running after him. "You need to stop." Gladion said a bit coldly. "Why are you afraid of me?!" Chloe said defensively. "NO I MEAN PHYSICALLY STOP! Umbreon use Shadow Ball!" Gladion called out. Chloe looked up to see an Ariados get hit by Gladion's attack.

"Pikachu, look up ahead! It looks like, a rail car?" Ash said as he approached it. "What's something like this doing down here?" Ash asked Pikachu. Looking around it, Ash found the back door was wide open. "I wonder why it's open?" Ash said trying to get through. "I'm too big. Heh, haven't had that issue lately. Anyways, Infernape, come on out and help me with this. Between the two, they were able to open the doors enough for Ash to get inside. In comparison to the damaged and aged outside, the inside was fairly clean and seemed untouched. At the front of it, Ash saw a control panel. "I wonder. Hey Pikachu, how about we get some power in here!" Ash said enthusiastically.

"Come on Lillie, I see light up ahead!" Goh said, helping her over the most recent obstacle. "Goh, that isn't an outside light." Lillie said, fear in her voice. "What do you mean? What else could it be?" Goh said turning around to see two groups of Pokémon approaching each other. On one side was Electabuzz, on the other was Magmar. "Maybe if we're lucky, they won't notice us." Goh said quietly. "Whispering won't help with Chinchou out." Chloe said fear struck. "Buzz!" "Mag!" The two opposing forces of Pokémon turned towards Goh and Lillie. "Any ideas?" Lillie asked. "Just one." Goh said holding a Pokeball.

"Come on out Quagsire!"

"Snowy you're up!"

"Quagsire use Muddy Water!"

"Snowy use Powder Snow!"

The Pokémon were frozen in place from the combination of attacks. "Now it's time to catch them!" Goh said excited. "Nope, now it's time to run!" Lillie said running past all of them Snowy right behind her. Goh looked and saw that the layer of ice was already starting to break. "Good idea!" Goh shouted following them.

"Silvally use Aerial Ace!"

"Eevee use Copycat!"

Gladion and Chloe's Pokémon were making their way through the seemingly endless waves of Ariados that were in the cave. "I don't know how long we can keep this up." Chloe said exasperated. "I don't think we have too. I just need them close enough. Now Umbreon use Black Hole Eclipse!" Gladion said. Activating his Z-Ring. Most of the Ariados were all shot down, and those that were left standing quickly scattered. "That was easy." Chloe said a bit shocked that Ash didn't use his more often. Too easy, they weren't running from us." Gladion said. "Get down!" He shouted pushing Chloe out of the way.

"Okay Pikachu, just a little juice. Just enough to get us moving." Ash said confidently. "Pi-Ka-CHU!" Pikachu shouted. Almost instantaneously the car rocketed off Ash and Pikachu slammed against the back wall. "That wasn't a little!" Ash shouted. Up ahead he could barely make it out, but there was a wall. "I really hope this thing holds up." Ash said regretting his decision. Closing his eyes waiting for the impending impact, it didn't happen. There was no longer a wall, but he was sure there would have been. "Pikachu how much did you give it!" Ash said worried. "Pikachu?" Ash asked looking to see Pikachu wasn't against the wall with him. "Pikachu!" Ash called back, his buddy had flown out the window.

"Oof! Who throws a… Pikachu?" Goh was surprised to see Pikachu. "Which means that was Ash!" Lillie said. "Lillie? Is that you." Gladion said coming out from one of the holes Ash and the rail car had made. "Gladion I'm so happy to see you're safe!" Lillie said hugging her brother. "Goh! Pikachu! Are you two all right?" Chloe asked running up to them. "We're fine, but I'm not sure about Ash." Goh said looking at the path Ash had taken.

"DRAGO!" An echo carried through the cave. Zooming towards them was Ash's Dragonite, and Ash was with him. "ASH!" The four cried out in astonishment. "Who else." Ash said shakily getting off of Dragonite. "How'd you escape?" Chloe asked concerned. "Same way as Pikachu. Through the back." Ash said. "Oh Ash, you're bleeding!" Lillie said pointing to his arm. "He just jumped off a runaway rail car going fast enough to break rocks, and you're worried about his arm bleeding?" Goh said amazed.

It was later that night, construction crews were being sent to take care of the tunnels, and cave system that was apparently left over from the original design for the Mag Train.

"Look Chloe, back in the caves." Gladion said, approaching her. "I know, I know. I came off a bit strong." Chloe said honestly. "Well yes, but that's not it. I'm not looking for a long distance relationship, and I don't think either of us are planning on relocating, so for now how about we're just friends." Gladion said, extending his hand. "I guess I can accept that." Chloe said shaking his hand.
