C26: Okay people, I would like to make something clear with all of you (this is probably going to lose me my few readers) I don't watch the TV show; I used to but got bored of it. I play the games occasionally and only wrote this fic to prove a point. I'm not saying Ash won't be in it (see next chapter) but I'm leaving out all the TV elements and taking it straight from the game (which is why its under the game category on FFN) I'm sorry if I gave anyone the wrong idea, this story is mainly about the Elite 4 tackling the P virus and holding off attacks from a group of terrorists codenamed S.T.A.R.M.I.E. Ash will be in it, but he is not the main character of this story. If you complain that Pikachu isn't innit, use your common sense, if it's a virus that affects all Pokemon, how dead d'you think Pikachu would be?

Chapter two

Lance

The lab may have been beneath Viridian, but we thought we'd check out the Silph building first. Bad luck for us.

"Bruno, go check the reception desk" I ordered, Bruno raised his gun and made his way over to the desk cautiously. When he reached the polished marble desk, Bruno picked up a file and read it aloud to us.

"The Virus is getting out of hand here at HQ. I suggest you seal off the tunnel under your desk immediately, if it reaches the outside world god knows what'll happen. I really am starting to wish Oak wasn't so fascinated by the M (very "imaginative" name) anyway, seal the place shut, I don't know how much longer we can hold out.

Professor Elm, Lab research chief" Bruno trailed off. We all paused a minute then Loreli managed to break the silence by saying "So, anyone got a plan?" After an awkward pause, I replied this question with the order "Loreli, you and I can check out that tunnel below the receptionist desk, Bruno, you guard Koga until he comes round, then once Koga's awake, do a bit of exploring of this area and delve into the files especially" by the time I'd finished the order I was already kneeled under the reception desk removing a metal slate at the foot of it. The slate revealed a ladder leading down into the pitch black, I leant back with fear, but tried not to show it, I turned to Loreli and gave one of my over-exaggerated looks meaning "after you"

Loreli descended down into the darkness and soon after I followed suite. As I reached the bottom, I was glad to see she pulled out a torch, but she looked horrified. The ceiling was covered with eggs.

The entire ceiling had jelly like Pokemon eggs attached to it, occasionally dripping, shedding a gooey substance that splattered the corridor. The corridor seemed endless, not even with the light of Loreli's torch could we see how far it stretched, and far away we could hear a shriek, a human shriek. At this petrifying noise, I started my dash down the corridor. Loreli tried to move but her legs wouldn't carry her, she was frozen in fear. I was about to turn round to tell her to snap out of it, when I heard a crack towards the ceiling and I knew at once what had happened; the eggs were hatching.

"MOVE NOW!" I yelled to Loreli, and finally she snapped out of it and zoomed to the ladder and began her ascent. As she clambered her way up, I fired off a few shots towards the ceiling smashing a few eggs, but then saw one hatch.

It was a Zubat, but no normal Zubat, this one was bright red and had the fangs of a great white shark. It lunged at me, its menacing jaws wide open, ready for the strike. I fired off one shot, still scared as hell, the little bastard shot away into the darkness, but that was when about twenty more hatched, then about five seconds later, another dozen or so hatched into the little monsters.

I was frozen in fear. The bats were headed straight for me in a deadly cluster. I couldn't move…
