That night they traveled. They were following Sherice. Sherice knew the location nearby of the Hoen's government building. Its top secret, and she wasn't allowed to show them all, but they had to in order for them to stop the people. Traveling there would take about a week. It's located near Lavaridge town.

Missy was walking strong; always have a stern expression on her face. Missy, most of all, wanted to top them. First, this whole virus took away her best friend, Vaporeon. Then once they became human again, they have the nerve to turn them back. They took away three more of her friends and countless people now. They just had to be stopped.

John sighed. He hated walking, and most of all, he hated being short. He had to sit down and look up at missy, Mary and Sherice to be able to see them. He wanted to turn back, but Sherice lost her last syringe and the last of the human DNA able to help him. He was starting to remember when he turned.

John was minding his business, walking through the forest. It was late at night, he guessed around midnight. He was out, heading towards Mauville city, to beat Watson and get his next badge.

He was then ambushed. The people knocked him out, and took him away. When he woke up, he was the Shiny Eevee, the only shiny pokemon that was transformed.

Mary was next to Missy. She was just as determined to stop them as she was. She was starting to like Chad, really like him, and now that he was gone, she wanted him back. She knew very well that it would take a while to get to Lavaridge town. She could wait to take them down.

Soon, they were coming up to a small village. The village was really small, and the biggest building there was a Church. There were crosses on each door, so everyone presumed that this village was religious.

Sherice wanted to know if they had any doctors around, but as they walked into the village, and saw no hospitals, no Pokemon centers, just a church, grocery store, and houses.

"What's with this village? Not even a restaurant?" Mary asked, looking around.

John looked around. He could see a lady coming out of her house with a small child. As she was heading out, the lady stopped, and hushed her child back inside and locked the door.

"What was that all about?" Missy asked.

"I don't know, maybe we should ask the priest of the church to see if he can help us?" Sherice said, walking towards the Church. Mary looked down at John. She picked him up, and John smiled deeply, and walked with him in her arms. Missy followed behind everyone, hearing the countless locking of the doors from the houses they passed. It worried Missy.

The Church was huge. It looked to be about three stories high, but they bet that all that was just paintings of their god or something.

Sherice knocked on the door, and waited, but there was no answer. She knocked again, but still no answer. She sighed, and opened the doors to the church. Sherice gasped.

Clothes lay everywhere. Some places there were blood. A body lay on the Alter, the sharp end through the lady's heart. The priest was there, his hands raised to the ceiling.

"Let Yasuo put mercy on your soul!" He shouted.

Missy gasped. Yasuo!? That was the god of the people after them. Missy shook her head, holding her head tight. They were in a village that also worshipped Yasuo and his beliefs on turning people into Pokemon.

"We have to get out of here…" Missy muttered. "We have to get out of here now!"

Sherice looked at Missy. "I agree. They worship the same kind of god that those people worship."

The priest looked up, anger in his eyes. He pointed a finger at them. "Outsiders'! You shall stay here and feel the grace that Yasuo has put on us all."

Sherice, Missy, and Mary headed for the door, when it shut in their faces.

"You shall not leave. You are outsiders, not welcome here. And for that, you shall pay by Yasuo's words!"

Missy leaned to Missy. "I think he's a nutcase." She whispered.

The priest, light on his feet and quickly put his hand around Missy's throat, choking her. "What did you say?"

Missy couldn't breathe at all. She tried to pry his hands off the death grip he had her in. Sherice, cursed under her breath, started to try to pull the priest off of Missy. Mary put john down and joined to help their choking friend.

The priest then threw Missy across the church, she landed on the ground near the alter. She coughed, getting her breath. Blood dripped onto her hand, and Missy looked up, seeing the lady just above her. She cried slightly, and moved away.

"She tried to leave the village. She tried to help the others in this village, but they are trapped. Trapped by the Pokemon, afraid of what might happen if they were bitten." The priest said. "She despised Yasuo, and so forth by Yasuo's mercy reigned upon her."

"You're sick!" Sherice shouted. "You're trapping these villagers here by force. You're forcing them to become Pokemon or die!"

"That's right!" the priest said. "This is the oldest village that worships Yasuo, and the villagers are forced to worship him, just like you all shall."

"We would never worship some one like him!" Mary shouted.

"Then you have two choices; one of you becomes a Pokemon or all of you die."

Their eyes all went wide. They didn't want to die, and the three of them didn't want to become a Pokemon. But they knew that once choice will haunt them, and they all wanted to live.

"You have on hour to decide on your choice." The priest said and left the church, leaving them there.

They all looked at each other. Sherice and Mary, along with John, walked over to Missy. "This is tough…" Missy said.

"We only have one choice we have to agree on. We have to pick which one of us has to become a Pokemon. So that two of us would go to the base and tell the government about all this." Sherice said.

"Well, Sherice is the only person who knows where the secret base is at….It's going to have to be one of us…" Mary said, looking at Missy.

"Not really." Sherice said. "I could be the one, but I can give you directions to the base."

"No, we can't let you." Missy said. "You're important. Remember that promise you made to Randall?"

Sherice looked down and away. She remembered. She closed her eyes, remembering her husband. "No, you two are far more important. You've been through this thing before, so you would be the ones the Government would believe." Sherice nodded.

"No, I'll do it." Mary suggested.

"No!" Sherice said. "I'm offering that I'm the one to do it."

Missy looked down. "She's right. Only we can have the personal experience that would help the government. I'm sure that they've heard about the virus."

Mary looked down. John seemed distant to all of them, only meeting them one time. He didn't know what was going on at the time, on account of being sleepy.

The Priest came back in. "Have you made your choice?"
