Also, just to make a clarifying point, I'm a girl, but the character
Aquafire's a guy. K? k.

~~~Kirin's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I awoke first out of the group. I saw the first soft rays of sunshine come through the cave entrance.
Hmmm, not raining anymore, that's good, I thought to myself. But outside the mouth of the cave, I heard faint human voices.
"Are you sure they went in there?" said a male voice.
"Positive," replied a rough voice. "The tracks lead straight here. The rain didn't wash everything away."
"They can't possibly be that smart, can they?" asked a female voice.
"They'd have to be," replied Rough-voice. "Just look at what happened to Roy and Derek, the best trappers at the labs. They both got pretty beat up."
"I don't wanna end up like those two," said the first male voice nervously.
"Fine then, we'll just smoke 'em out!" said the lady. Hearing this, I quickly went over to Calypso and nudged her awake.
"Calypso, wake up!" I said quickly, jarring her awake.
"Kirin, what is it?" she asked sleepily.
"The humans know we're in here," I cried, "and they're about to try and smoke us out!" She instantly shot up and was suddenly wide awake.
"Everyone, wake up!" she yelled, going over to everyone and nudging each of them.
"Can't I sleep for five more minutes?" asked a sleepy Firestrike.
"Yeah, I'm still tired from yesterday," agreed Larissa.
"We can't!" I said. "The humans are at the front of the cave, ready to attack!" Now everyone was wide awake and worried.
"What do we do?" asked a nervous Fireburst.
"Fireburst, you and Calypso go and douse the flames with your water attacks, and allow for everyone to escape through the back," said Aquafire instantly. "If they fail, c'mon back and follow the group. Rokon, you and Shockwave go lead everyone out. I will stay here and attack if Fireburst and Calypso's water attacks fail."
"You got it," replied Shockwave.
Everyone was too edgy and worried to argue about this. Calypso and Fireburst flew to the mouth of the cave, and the rest of us took off into the back of the cave, following Rokon and Shockwave.
~~~Fireburst's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I flew towards the mouth of the cave, Calypso running behind me. We arrived, and hid behind two fairly large boulders. THe humans in white suits were piling a big pile of branches at the mouth of the cave. Once the pile was about 3/4 full, I heard the faint opening of a pokéball.
"Charizard, Fire Blast!" said a rough male voice. I now hear the battle cry of a Charizard, and about two seconds later, the entire pile caught on fire. Calypso jumped out from the pile, and I flew out from behind the boulder I was behind.
"Now!" Calypso cried as she used her Water Gun on the flames. I did likewise, and we put the flames out in one blast.
"Sh!t!" said a female voice. "Why are the flames dying?"
"Must be those pokémon," said a male voice. "You should have Charizard return, and use Weezing's poison gas in there."
"Good idea," said Rough-voice. "Weezing, Poison Gas."
I heard another pokéball open, and the sound of some pokémon come out. It called out "weez!" before releasing a huge cloud of brown-black gas into the cave.
*koff* "Caly, we *koff* have to retreat!" I barely managed to say. The toxic gas was making it extremely diffecult to breathe, and my eyes were watering.
*koff* "Let's go!" *koff* she managed to say. We both took off back into the cavern.
As we went back, I saw Aquafire just standing there, waiting.
"Aquafire, we have to run now!" Calypso cried. "They're starting to pump gas in here!"
"Both of you go, I'll catch up!" said Aquafire. His fur was bristling and waving in some invisible air current.
"But..." I started.
"Just go!" he suddenly yelled with a force I had never seen him demonstrate before.
We both gave him looks, but we complied and ran off into the back of the cave, where the others were.
~~~Rokon's p.o.v.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was leading everyone out through the tunnel which led to some place south of a place called "Lavender" by humans. I didn't know whether this would take them any closer to their goal of Fuchsia City, but it was better than possibly being captured by those weird people after them. The tunnel's end could be seen, because there was a bright light at the end. What was truly amazing was that jsut a week ago, I had been alone in my home with no friends, wondering whether anything happened in the valley at all. Now I had more than a dozen friends, and helping them get to their destination.
"Someone's coming!" yelled Lunar from behind. I stopped walking, as did everyone else.
Calypso and Fireburst came up to us quickly, panting and totally exausted.
"Calypso! Fireburst!" Blade said. "Where is Aquafire?"
"Aquafire...stayed behind...to fight!" Calypso managed to say in between deep hacking breaths.
"What a blockhead!" yelled Shadow. "Doesn't he know that he may get injured or captured?"
"What's even worse is that he was slowly wasting away as well," Calypso said, finally able to catch her breath. Everyone turned and looked at her.
"What are you talking about, Caly?" asked Larissa worriedly, who was on Kirin's antlers because it was too low to fly.
"Haven't any of you noticed?" she asked. "He's been not eating, slowly getting thinner, he doesn't seem as energetic as he did when he busted us out. Couldn't you feel it?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Ummm, no," replied Arbiter. "We haven't noticed anything like that."
"No, I didn't notice either," Lunar said.
Before anyone could say anything else, we all heard a loud sound like an explosion come from behind us. A thick billowing cloud of smoke came flying towards us.
"Everyone, run for the end of the tunnel!" I yelled, taking off into a dead run. Everone else was close behind. All of us kind of feel out of the cave, since it was about a foot off of the ground. Right after Calypso, who was the person in the back, got out, the cave totally collapsed on itself; a cave-in.
