Authors Note:
Hi again... Sorry for the last episode, I knew it sucked.... Anyway, I'm
back with a new one, and hopefully, you'll enjoy this a bit more.
Four of the five trainers that I got will be introduced in this episode...
Amber, Rin, Emma and Sakura Lee....
MistyGirl01's Kasha, will enter the story the next episode, or the one
after that....
And by the way, this is the longest episode so far... But don't get used
it...
And, as someone cleverly said, why does Carrie lose all the time?
It's not that I hate girls (As a character, I like Carrie much better than
Jason...), it's just that she faced harder opponents than Jason, and
therefore, she lost...
But don't worry.... Carrie is stronger than she seems...
Anyway, better get going to the story...
.........................................
"Where is Carrie?" Jason asked, and looked around. "She's been gone for ten minutes..."
Suddenly, he felt a vibration in the ground.
"Did you feel that, Teddyursa?" Jason asked. He felt another vibration right after. "I think...."
He didn't have time to finish the sentence. A deafening sound rang in his ears, as the ground was crack open.
An earthquake. It was an earthquake.
Because of the heavy shaking, Jason lost his grip, and fell to the ground, letting out a scream as Teddyursa fell down in the crack in front of him.
He flinged himself forward to try to grab his Pokemon, but he was to late.
He crawled to the edge, and looked down. It was pitch-dark, and he couldn't see anything.
He was looking in under the skin of the planet, down in a canyon-like crack created out of an earthquake.
It was so deep, that he couldn't even see the bottom.
If there was a bottom.
"Teddyursa!" he shouted, but his only reply was his own voice, echoeing between the walls of the crack.
He prayed that Teddyursa would have gotten grip around something that could have stopped it from falling.
But if Teddyursa fell without being able to grab something... It would certainly be dead....
People were screaming behind him, when several cracks was created as the ground began to shake again, but he didn't have time to worry.
"Teddyursa! Answer me!" he shouted, but he got the same reply as last time. "Answer me..."
Tears began to fall down his cheeks, and his lips were trembling.
//No... No! Teddyursa...//
They had gotten through so much together, even if they hadn't known each other for more than a month.
The bear was his best friend.
//This can't be happening...//
Powerless, he sank to his knees, punching his fists in to the ground like it would help bring Teddyursa back with him.
//Jason... Pull yourself together... You can't think like this.... Teddyursa is alive...//
The power of the earthquake steadily increased, and the deafening sound when the ground cracked open was all that filled Jasons ears.
But he didn't care.
So quick... In a second, Teddyursa had been taken away from him by a sudden earthquake...
Why was he the one that always...always was struck by the bad luck...
Carrie! he suddenly remembered. Where was she?
What had happened to her?
He got on his feets, only to find that he was trapped.
Large holes and cracks had surrounded him, and he was standing on a island of ground.
Soon, the earthquake would break the ground beneath him too.
It was only a matter of time before the ground would collapse, and he would fall down.
Without being able hold on to something...He would be crushed against the cliffs...
//Carrie....Teddyursa...//
His two best friends were gone, Teddyursa had fell into a bottomless hole, and Carrie...
He didn't know what had happened to her.
He sat down on the little area of ground that still was intact.
He could feel the vibrations of the earthquake.
He couldn't see anyone else. Maybe they had fallen into the cracks.
Maybe had they escaped.
Maybe he could escape to. No...
This time, there was nothing that he could do. So many times, on his short adventure, he had escaped from numerous dangers. SS.Pearl, the Poochyenas...
But this time... He couldn't do anything...
Mother nature was playing roulette with his life. If he used Bulbasaur to get to other ground, he might as well die there instead.
All he could do, was to stay put.
And hope for the best.
Both for himself, Teddyursa, and Carrie...
...........................
Carrie fell backwards and knocked her head into the wall, making her dizzy.
She desperately tried to get on her feets, but the ground was shaking so heavily, that it was hard to even stay where she were.
The other trainers at the PokeCenter screamed in unison, as the whole building seemed to slip over to the side.
Carie got on her feets and ran towards the door to escape.
But the large cracks swallowed the building before she got there.
The PokeCenter fell through the ground, and couches, tables, chair, all was thrown around like projectiles.
Carrie bounced from side to side, hurting her arms, hands, legs, head when she hit the wall over and over, as the building itself hit the sharp cliffs.
They were falling down towards the bottom of the created ravine, and they couldn't stop it.
"Hold on to something!" Carrie screamed, but she realized immidiately how stupid she was.
There was nothing to hold on to.
The walls were practically ripped apart by the sharp cliffs, and Carrie watched in fear how one of the trainers fell out when the wall disappeared behind him.
Suddenly, the building hit safe ground, and the impact was so hard that Carrie was knocked unconscious when she hit the floor.
She woke up shortly after.
She didn't know if she was dead or alive. Her whole body was aching, and with great effort, she managed to get on her feets.
The PokeCenter was lying upside down, and it was literally trashed into pieces.
Carrie couldn't believe it. She was about to leave the PokeCenter, and then they just...fell...
The whole building fell into the crack that was created by the earthquake, and if it wasn't for it, they would all be dead.
If she had gotten outside before the shakings had begun, she would be dead.
"We're lucky to be alive..." a young girl said as she got on her feets. "The building kind of worked like an airbag. It got trashed, but at least it protected us..."
The girl had black, shoulder length hair with two long front bags that were dyed yellow.
Her eyes were violet, and she wore a forest-green tanktop, pink, fingerless gloves and blue jeans.
"Are everyone allright?" she asked, and she recieved some murmurs for an answer. "I take that as a yes..."
Carrie went outside. Their fall had been stopped by a cliff that was pointing out far enough to catch the building.
She looked down. Only darkness. She turned her eyes against the sky.
She could barely see it. They must be really far away from ground level.
"How the hell are we going to get out of here?" the girl asked, as she carefully watched the walls. "We can't climb... Oh, sorry for not introducing myself... I'm Rin, Rin Asuhara..."
"Carrie Samuels. Nice to meet you, Rin."
"Nice to meet you too..."
The conversation never got any happier than that. Their situation was bad, and it looked like there was no way out of there.
The other trainers came outside along with nurse Joy. It looked like a funeral just had taken place.
"We're done, right?" an older girl asked. She had blond hair pulled into a waist length braid and dark eyes.
She wore blue jeans, a black tshirt, a black trencoat-type jacket, and worn- out sneakers.
"We'll just have to make the best out of the situation..." Rin said, and avoided to say what everyone already knew. "Let's go inside the PokeCenter.."
"Or what's left of it..." the blond girl said, sarcastically.
.............................
//Jason.... My trainer...My best friend...
He's gone....Maybe he's dead.... Maybe he has escaped....
I hope Carrie's allright...She was so nice to me...Giving me honey....//
Tears fell down Teddyursas cheeks. The little bear-pokemon was sitting on a small cliff.
//At least I'm alive... But is Jason? And Carrie? *sniff*//
//Will I ever see them again?//
................................
"Well, we might as well introduce ourselves..." Rin said. They were five, only girls, including Nurse Joy. "I'm Rin Asuhara."
The PokeCenter was trashed, but amazingly, it landed on the right end. At least they could sleep there...
"I'm Emma Allster..." the blonde girl said.
"Carrie Samuels." Carrie said.
"I'm Sakura Lee." the girl next to Carrie said. She was holding an Umbreon in her arms.
Her hair was shoulder length and fiery red with brown highlighs.
Her eyes were hazel-coloured.
She wore a kimono-dress, and she had a flower in her hair. She normally must have been a really pretty girl, but her clothes were dirty, and her hair messed up by the fall.
"I'm nurse Joy...." the nurse said.
"Well, that's all, isn't it?" Rin asked.
"What about the boy who fell out?" Sakura asked. "We should search for him."
"No!" Emma interrupted. "It's too dangerous, and he's probably dead anyway. The cliff that we are standing on can collapse any moment, but it's the same for all other cliffs. We might as well stay put, and hope for the best."
"How about food?" Rin asked. "We need pretty much, since we all have Pokemon to feed."
"Well, I think we have plenty of Pokemon Food in the storage. But we have only a little food for ourselves..." Nurse Joy replied.
Carrie smiled, but she decided to stay quiet. They had already began to discuss their future options, and how they were suppose to survive.
She knew that they would survive this. These girls had wills of steel, all of them.
But what about Jason? Were was he?
//I know he isn't dead// she thought to herself. //It takes more than an earthquake to kill Jason...//
Actually, she didn't feel worried at all. Jason could take care of himself.
"Does anyone have a cellphone, or a PokeGear?" Emma asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Well, in that case, we are on our own..."
"But what about flying-pokémon?" Rin asked. "Does anyone have a flying- pokémon that we can use to get out of here?"
Again, everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, we'll discuss how we are going to get out of here later... I suggest we eat a little, and give our Pokemon food."
Everyone agreed with Sakura, and nurse Joy went to the storage room to get some food.
Carrie released her Pokemon and let out a sigh. She was glad that she was alive.
"Cute Pokemon..." Rin said, and scratched Nidoran behind its ear. She decided to release her own, and a Blaziken, a Ninetails, a Absol and an Mightyena materialized on the floor. "Say hallo to Carrie's Pokemon everyone..."
"They are so nice..." Carrie said with amazement.
"This is Vix" Rin said, stroking the fur of the Ninetails. "She's usually outside the Pokeball... We are best friends... The Absol is called Yin- Yang, Mightyena 's name is Kayna, and Pyro is the Blaziken."
"I wish I had this beautiful Pokemon... I only have unevolved ones, not very strong... I don't win too often... It's strange, because Jason, my travelling companion, he wins all the time, even though his Pokemon are unevolved like mine...."
"Don't worry, Carrie, was it? It will all come in time... Some people have talent, others have to learn.... Where is this Jason, anyway?"
"He is... I don't know where he is..." Carrie could feel tears behind her eyes, but she held them back. What if he was dead? "I went to the PokeCenter to heal my Pokémon, and then... You know the rest... Hope he's allright..."
"I'm sure he is. How long have you two been on the road together?"
"For about a month... You don't wanna know what we have gotten through... You heard about SS.Pearl?"
"Yes, the old warship that was remade to a passenger ship? It sunk, didn't it?"
"Yes....We were on it when it sank to the bottom. We managed to escape using the torpedo-hatch..."
Rin laughed, as if Carrie was joking.
"Sounds like a movie... Who came up with that idea?"
"Jason, of course... He has solutions on everything... He walked over electrified water on the vine whips of a Bulbasaur, and he saved a Growlithe using the electric power of a Pichu..."
Rin started to laugh again, and Carrie suddenly felt so much better.
"Well, if he's such a bright guy as it seems, you don't have to worry..."
"Thanks Rin... It feels so much better..."
Soon, all gathered to eat a bit. Nurse Joy had some food on tins, not much, but enough to make them forget the hunger.
There was Pokemon food in loads, and all the Pokemon ate until they couldn't eat anymore.
"Wonder if they know how bad our situation is?" Sakura said, as she watched the Pokemon run around like crazy.
"I'm sure they do." Emma said. "They just try to forget it, and have as fun as possible. We should too."
.....................
"Somebody help!"
It took a while before the screams reached his brain, since all his thoughts were focused on Teddyursa.
He was awaken from his sleep-like condition, and he quickly got on his feets.
He spotted a girl, hanging on the edge to a deep crack fifty meters away from him.
Several smaller cracks blocked his way, and the tremors still hadn't stop, even though they decreased in power.
"Hold on! I'm coming!"
He clenched his fists, and jumped over the smaller cracks, as he dashed towards the girl.
She was slipping, slowly.
"I can't hang on!" she shouted desperately, and Jason took a giant leap over the last crack that blocked his way.
He flinged himself forward, he slided on the ground and grabbed the girls hand and tried to pull her up.
With great effort, he succeded, and they both sank to their knees gasping for air.
"T-Thanks..." the girl said. She had worn-out clothes, and a red cap on her head. "I'm Amber..."
"N-Nice to meet you, Amber..." Jason shook her hand. "Well, we're kind of stuck here..."
He got on his feets, but suddenly, the ground began to shake like never before.
"Hold on, Amber!" he shouted. "We'll ride this one out!"
No.
Not this time.
This time, Jason had lost the game.
Mother Nature's roulette had stopped on black, and Jason had bet on red.
He couldn't even let out a scream when the ground suddenly collapsed beneath him...
............................
Authors Note II: You should slap me in the head with a sledge-hammer! Well, you could really call this one a cliffhanger...
Stay tuned for the next episode...

"Where is Carrie?" Jason asked, and looked around. "She's been gone for ten minutes..."
Suddenly, he felt a vibration in the ground.
