C26: Here I'm gonna continue the Keeper's diary for a while along with another Ash segment. The diary bit is mainly a blatant rip off George Trevor's diary crossed with the Keeper's diary so feel free to poke fun of me

Chapter 13: Cinnabar

April 15

The Prof has gone nuts and locked me up. It was about midnight when guards came into my room, knocked me out and brought me here. It's about half past six now, seeing as I didn't pick up my watch I can barely tell.

A couple of men in biohazard suits came in a few minutes ago and chucked me a bowl of stone cold soup. They say only I know Silph's secret. Apparently I'm the first of many experiments to come.

I'm probably infected, but that's impossible. From the preliminary virus status I read in the labs it isn't human transmittable yet, it needs to mutate. So if I am infected, how is it possible?

Scratching my arm today I noticed a slimy layer building up. The liquid came away in my hand, from what I could tell it was my skin breaking up. What is happening to me?

April 17

Nothing left, nothing at all, two of them came see me today, brought food. They make me angry. Really angry

April 18

Only one today, looked at me funny so I ripped his head off, taste better than cold soup. Mmm, tasty…

Ash

After about half an hour we were sitting in front of an upstairs bedroom window staring out at the crowd of ravenous beasts below. Oak had calmed, I still thought he was a fucking psychopath, but he'd convinced me that the virus came from this rare Pokemon called doomsday. Silph had tried cloning it and kept failed tests in their lab on Cinnabar Island.

But that wasn't the reason I wanted to get there. The reason I wanted to get to Cinnabar was because there was a helicopter on the roof of the lab according to oak, not that I trusted him.

I looked at him as he stared out into the sea of Pokemon. He used to be such a cheerful character, I spoke to him every day while I was growing up, and he gave me my very first Pokemon. Mind you that Pokemon would have tried to rip me to pieces if I'd brought it to this region with me.

I stood up drawing my weapon, ready to jump down into almost certain death. I kicked oak making sure to hit him very hard, my pity may have vanished but my spite still grew.

Taking one last view of life, we leapt down into the crowd of Pokemon, most of them instantly closed in on us. Grinning, I fired in all directions hitting numerous Mon in all directions, a headshot to a squirtle to the left, a bullet to the neck of a Golduck ahead.

Oak and I dashed through the crowds fending off Mon on all sides receiving the occasional scratch from Pinser and various other Pokemon with razor sharp claws. We were nearing Pallet town docks when I saw something in the sky that made my heart skip a beat. The fiery wings, the sharp pointy beak, and the magnificent ethereal glow gave the legendary Moltres the dangerous edge.

I was about to start citing Oak on the sheer amount of Pokemon he'd infected, so far I'd been attacked by a fair amount of dangerous monsters but this really took it too far.

We were near the docks now; we were going to make it. I could see a speedboat near a group of buildings. I grabbed Oak and the two of us used the building for cover as the Moltres shot a jet fire in our direction. I stupidly thought the building could protect us; I leapt up instantly when the building burst into flames.

I stood for a second observing the devastation that last blast had caused and braced myself for another attack until Oak grabbed me and dragged me away towards the nearest boat while the fire bird blasted the building into the ground.

I was about to start wondering why he did it, but I had barely a second to spare before the creature in the sky set about blasting us again. I leapt into action and followed Oak to a boat, while he set about starting the engine I vainly fired into the sky in Moltres' general direction hoping at least one bullet would hit it, but as my bullets neared it, it just moved out of the way whilst charging up for the next attack…

C26: I know I missed yesterday's update, but don't expect them so often now. I have exams coming up so I have to revise for them
