Authors Note:
Hope you all liked the the last episode... I did... Anyway, thanks again for the trainers... Hope you like how I made their personalities... If you didn't, sue me... Anyway, let's get on to this episode, shall we? No wait! I must say, I LOVE YOU ALL! Fyrefly, Hell Flame Vulpix, Mickey, Moon Girl, MistyGirl01, Paradox Paradox (I know I forgot someone, if I did, please tell me and I'll correct it to the next episode...)
If it wasn't for your positive reviews, I wouldn't continue with this story at all... Actually, I didn't think it would last more than 10 episodes, but look, here we have number 25! And as Paradox Paradox cleverly said, "Jason has probably the worst run of luck in the history of Pokémon trainers..." I can only agree.... And sorry for this episode being a little short, but I really wanted to post it quickly...
Anyway, enjoy!

"Oh my god!" Amber sank to her knees, carefully watching over the edge.
The tremors had just stopped, but they could return any second.
Was he dead?
The whole part of ground that he stood on followed him down.
He must have been crushed by the cliffs.
The way of fate...
A few seconds earlier, he saved her from death, and then he dies himself...
What should she do now?
She was trapped between treacherous ravines and cracks, created by an earthquake that could strike again any second.
Her decision was easy. She grabbed a Pokeball, and released her Chikorita.
"Thorn! Use your vine-whips and lower me down in the ravine."
The Chikorita looked like it just had won a million ton of Pokemon food, totally stunned.
How could Amber be so stupid?
"Thorn! I must save him, or at least find out what happened to him!"
Thorn nodded, and closed its vine whips around Ambers waist.
"Lower me down, Thorn. Hey! Don't look on me like that, I'm not going to die or something!"
Or would she?
......................................
"The tremors have stopped, at least..." Emma said. The whole group was standing outside the PokeCenter. "Well, does anyone have an idea how the hell we are going to get out of here? No one has a flying Pokemon, right? I have a Murkrow, but it can't carry anyone of us."
"Um...well, I have a Dragonair but..." Sakura said.
"But what?" Emma exclaimed. "Oh, I'm sorry... It's Dragonite who can fly, not Dragonair..."
"Calm down" Rin said. "It looks like we are safe for now, since the earthquake has stopped. Just take it easy, and we'll find a solution."
Carrie was quiet. She barely heard the conversation.
All she thought about was Jason...
....................
//Am I alive...Or dead?//
Jason didn't know. His body was aching, and it hurted only to open the eyes.
As soon he tried to roll over to get himself on his feets again, his body screamed in pain, nearly causing him to faint again.
His thoughts were foggy, and he had practically lost his sense for time and space.
He could barely see anything, even though his eyes were open.
The surroundings all melt into one, big mess.
That girl he saved... Where was she?
And Teddyursa?
Tears was created behind his eyes as soon as the thought of his Pokemon crossed his mind.
He tried to hold them back, but they just came down his cheeks, flowing like rivers.
He would own millions if tears were made of gold.
He cried until he couldn't cry no more.
He couldn't move at all. He couldn't even scream.
He was hungry, thirsty, cold, powerless...
And when the small stripe of the sky far up there turned black, he knew that everything was lost....
................
Carrie sat outside the trashed PokeCenter, with her eyes fixed on the stars in the night-black sky.
"You can barely see it from here.."
It was Rin, accompanied by her loyal, beautiful Ninetails, Vix.
She sat down next to Carrie, and let out a sigh.
"Do you think we'll get out of here alive?" she asked.
"In one way or another, we will. I know it. But I wonder..."
"...Where that guy Jason is?"
Carrie nodded.
"You know, I used to live in a small village called Crystal Town. It got its name from the crystal-mines outside town, where Bulbasaur were used as slaves to separate the minerals from the mountains. I never liked it, but the whole town was behind the idea, so I didn't want to rebel... But then Jason came, and he helped me save those Bulbasaurs... I joined him on his journey, and since then, we have become really good friends. You know, we accepted the Hushido Gym Challenge together..."
Carrie stopped. Her voice was broken, and a tear fell down her cheek.
"I don't know if he's alive, Rin. And that uncertainty eats me up inside. I must do something."
"You can't do anything, Carrie" Rin said. "Maybe he has escaped, and maybe there is a rescue team searching for us right now."
"I don't think so. The earthquake probably ruined several citys too, and they wont waste any time searching after a few teenagers in the middle of nowhere."
"Carrie... It sounds to you like you have no hope at all! You must have faith in yourself, and in others. Jason will be allright, and we will too."
Carrie nodded slowly. But inside, she didn't feel very confident in that matter...
......................................
Amber barely saw a thing. It was already dark down there, and it didn't become any better when the sun disappeared from the sky above.
She didn't have a flashlight, but she focused as hard as she could to be able to separate something from the compact darkness.
Suddenly, she spotted something on a cliff to the right.
"A bit more, Thorn!" she shouted, and she was taken closer and closer towards the cliff-wall.
It was him. Jason.
She put her feets on the cliff, and Thorn jumped down from above, using its own vine whips as a bungy-jump rope.
Amber recalled her Chikorita, and ran over to Jason, and kneeled down beside him.
His eyes were closed, and his lips were blue. His skin was white, and he looked almost like a ghost in the weak light that still made its way down from above.
"Jason..." Amber said, shaking him in his shoulders. "Wake up!"
He remained lifeless.
"Jason!" she shouted, but he didn't answer. He didn't move at all.
She leaned forward to listen on his heart-beats.
She let out a scream.
The heart wasn't beating.
And he wasn't breathing....
...........................
Teddyursa couldn't hold on anymore. It was losing its grip around the cliff, and any second now, it would fall.
The little bear was crying, rivers of tears fell down its brown cheeks, and dripped towards the bottom of the ravine.
It wouldn't see Jason again. Never again.
With its paw, it wiped away the tears, but it couldn't keep them from coming.
//Jason... I'm sorry....Bye.....//
The little bear lost its grip, and then it fell.
Down in the darkness of the bottomless ravine...
