Ash sat back down on the bed, staring at the wall in front of him as Gary hurriedly runs around the room, packing his and Ash's stuff. Neither were sure when or where the Unovans are planning to bomb this time.

"W-What do they want from us?" Ash asked shakily, although to no one in particular. His eyes were full of fear. He could hear Gary grunting as he tries to pack his and Ash's clothes into a suitcase. Gary knew that the possibility that Viridian City being bombed out of all of the cities and small towns in Kanto, it is still pretty high. But even if they fly over them, it is better to have supplies and clothing while in the bunker. Gary growled to himself. He hated not knowing things that he feels like he should know. Like how long it would be for them to arrive, how many aircrafts are on their way? He slammed his fists into the folded clothing inside the suitcase. Ash turned to look at him, "Gary-"

"This is breaking news!" The newscast for some reason started once more. Ash turned back to the television, "Unovan squads have landed on route one! Find a bunker, pack food, water, and other necessities to be able to survive." The screen then went from the news lady to a red screen with white letters that read: CODE RED.

"Ash, get your shoes on." Gary ordered, as he shoved his own feet into his own shoes. Ash quickly did as he was told. Gary shut the suitcase, as Ash went to the kitchen area along with a bag and started stuffing food into the bag. A loud, hurried knock sounded on the other side of the door. Gary quietly ran over and looked through the eye hole in the door. He then opened the door to find his grandfather who was rolling in a cart. The cart was already half full, Gary guessed from his room. Professor Oak rolled the cart into the kitchen, "Ash, put the food in here. Hurry!"

"Gary, help us out!" Ash called, and Gary rushed into the kitchen to search through the fridge, Professor Oak looking in the cupboards above the sink and Ash in the cupboards above the stove.
Afterwards, the cart was full of food and water bottles. They then grabbed all of the stuff, and rushed out the door, not worrying about closing the door. They ran into the elevator, which to their luck was empty. Gary quickly pressing the button for the first floor. Luckily for them, they were on the second floor and the trip down was fast. Once the doors opened, they quickly turned right, the direction of the nearest bunker.

They started to hear screams, gunfire, crashing… the Unovans arrived. Once Gary, Ash and Professor Oak arrived to their destination, the door was shut. Gary tired to open it, but it was locked.

"No time for them to open up, we need to go to a different one." Professor Oak said, as they then rushed to the left. The bunker there had the same outcome.

"There are three more, but they are on the other side of Viridian City." Professor Oak claimed, and Ash's face paled.

"If we hurry we might make it." Gary suggested, but Professor Oak shook his head. Another gun shot, another scream, "They are too close to us as it is. We won't make it."

"Maybe if we leave the cart here and run as fast as we can-"

"Gary, its no use."

"But-" Gary was interrupted by the sound of stomping feet. Gary's heart raced. He now knew that his grandfather is right. Ash latched himself on to Gary's arm, tears rolling down his face. He knew that this is the end, and nothing nor no one would save them now.

"Hey!" Ash turned his head in the direction of the voice. It was a man, who opened the door to the bunker that they were standing in front of. He was motioning his hand to come in, "Hurry, get inside!"

Ash shook Gary's arm to get his attention and pointed at the bunker. Professor Oak also noticed and ran inside first. Gary second, but waited at the door for Ash. And as Ash was stepping through the door a gloved hand grabbed Ash by the shoulder, and another hand that belonged to another man clamped his mouth. Ash struggled to get free. Gary was about to rush outside to save him, but the man next to him stopped him, "It is too late, we have to shut the door."

Ash bit the hand covering his mouth, which retreated away from his mouth, "GARY! HELP ME!" He screamed, as the two men pulled him away. Ash saw that the bunker door was closing, and before the door sealed shut, he saw Gary being held back from running out. The hand that retreated before found his mouth again and covered it. Ash struggled again, the two men growling in frustration. And when Ash stepped on one foot from each of his captors' feet, they yelped and released him. Ash leaped away from them and started sprinting back at the door. He pounded the door, "PLEASE! SOMEONE! OPEN UP PLEASE!" He kept looking behind him, seeing the two men, plus another two running straight for him, he pounded the door even harder, and yelled, tears streaming down his face.

"GARY! PLEASE! HELP-" Another hand covered his mouth, and brought him back to the other three men, who each grabbed his shoulders or arms to pull him back. But even then, Ash struggled and squirmed. Ash started to pant, exhausting himself. But he didn't care, adrenaline was coursing through his veins.

"Hold him still!" A man ordered, and the men held Ash there. He struggled even harder, but he then felt a prick in his arm. His eyes looked at his right arm to find that someone had placed a syringe in his arm and was putting some kind of liquid inside. Ash struggled to get out, but he felt extremely tired. His eyelides felt like they weighed a ton.

"Ok, lets take him to the helicoptor."

"Just let me cuff him first." Ash felt a cold metalic object clip around his wrists while they were behind his back. Ash's legs felt weak, if the men weren't holding him, he was sure that he would have fell. The last thing he saw before the darkness took him from reality, was that he was taken away, and the bunker door finally opened, to reveal the man along with Gary, who's face was wet with sweat and tears, being held back by Professor Oak.

Back in the bunker:

"Please let me save him!" Gary choked on a sob, as he struggled to get out of his grandfather's grasp. He saw Ash finally go limp, and the men that seized him finally let him go, except for one who then heaved him over his shoulder and ran back the way they came.

"Gary, if we let you out they would get you too." Professor Oak claimed, Gary shook his head, "He needs me! Please, let me go!"

"No, Gary."

"What if they kill him? I need to protect him!"

"What if they kill you along with Ash? Gary I won't and can't risk it."

"What happened to that we will help Ash?! Does it not matter now that he is gone?" Gary choked, as he looked at his grandfather sternly. Professor Oak sighed, "I know that you love him, and I know that you want to help him. I hurt inside too, Gary. I want to save him just as much as you do. But I know that neither you nor I could stand a chance against them."

"I should have gone in last…" Gary's mood all of a sudden changed from anger to depressed. Professor Oak then turned him around so that he could give Gary a hug, "It isn't your fault, Gary. Nor is it mine. Whatever is happening today, will be over eventually, and you'll see that Ash will return safely."

Gary returned the hug. He felt like a little child, who had lost his favorite toy. He gripped his grandfather tightly as he let the saddness overwhelm him. The man who was in charge of the door, whose name is Charles, sighed sadly and shut the bunker door, leaving them all in the dark.
