The last of the infected that appeared through the sphere fell to pieces. Alex retracted his claw and turned to Ash and Prof. Oak.

"So you're tellin me that this place is infested with these creatures like this little rat and the fire breathing dog? And because you wanted to find more, you made a machine that brought me and anything with altered DNA here?"

Oak nodded. Alex put a hand to his face and dragged it down. "If I hadn't just been in the middle of an infection that alters human DNA, I would think that I had gone completely insane."

Ash grabbed the Prof.'s sleeve. "Prof. Oak I think we should shut off the machine. That might stop those 'infecteds' from getting here."

"We shall do exactly that my boy!" The three started off towards the lab, when the side wall exploded.

A hunter with the portal machine attached to its back walked out. Standing on top of the machine was someone that Alex recognized all too well. Elizabeth Greene. Elizabeth turned her head to Alex, Ash and Oak. And with a small wave, the hunter leaped off into a nearby thicket of trees.

"Damn, now that Elizabeth's here this place is going to suffer like my city did." Alex said.

Oak waved his hand in the air, like what had just happened didn't really matter. "No worries, she needs to find an energy source to plug it into, and I doubt that she'd be able to figure out the controls."

Alex grabbed the Prof. by his shirt and brought him to eye level. "You don't get it. She is one with this infection, it doesn't just infect humans, it infects everything around it. When she's finished with it, it won't need to run on electricity and it could probably do more then just make portals."

"Well then, we should start chasing after her ….."

"Not WE," Alex lowered the Prof. back to the ground. "Just me. If you two had seen what I have, you'd wish you never woulda brought me here."

With that Alex began walking in the direction that the Hunter had leaped in.

This place was an alien world to Alex. Little bears with over large heads ran across his path. Purple monkeys with a hand at the end of their tails swung overhead. Strange brown things kept popping out of the ground around him. It reminded him of whack-a-mole.

"You can come out now kid, I knew you've been following me for a while now."

Ash walked out from behind a tree. "How'd you know?"

"You're little rat thing is surrounded by static. I could feel it from about ten meters away."

Pikachu glared at Alex.

Alex continued walking. "You know that it'll probably get really gory when we get to miss Greene?"

"I'm not afraid!" Ash proclaimed proudly.

"Well come along if you wish. But I'm just wondering if that other group that's following us wants to come along too."

The bushes behind Ash ruffled.

"Prepare for trouble."

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all people within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's Right!"
