Disclaimer: DiamondOblivion does not own anything, cept my OC's.

"We'll need as much help as we can get. The Route to Kissaki is a snow route. We have to go through a small portian of Mt. Tengen then we have to walk the snow covered route which is very long and if we hurry we might get to Lake Aucity by tomorrow morning." Riku said pointing to a map spread out on a table. "Wait, You said that its a snow covered route?" Layli asked and Riku nodded. "But I heard on the news that a Blizzard might appear tommorrow night!" Sato said quickly. "Sato's right. What if we don't beat the blizzard to Kissaki?" Saori said agreeing with Sato. "That's not good. A blizzard may last for days...We only have so much time." Riku snarled banging his fist on the table. "You guys going to Kissaki?" Said some familiar voices. The group turned around and saw to thier suprise Kiyoye, Kiyoko, and Aeri! "Nice to see you guys again. Whats your reason for goin to Kissaki?" Saori asked getting up. "Family" "Felt like going." Were thier answers.

After many phone calls and argueing they headed to Mt. Tengen with fully loaded backpacks. They walked into Mt. Tengen and finally reached near the exit. "Lets stop here for a bit and put on the jackets and snow pants so we don't get frostbite." Kiyoye said putting on a thick jacket. They all put the snow clothes over thier regular clothes. "Ok, If we get separated, send out an ice type wit the abitlity Snow Cloak and they'll alert the others. Ok?" Sato asked the group. They all nodded in agreement and sent out a pokemon to help them with battles on the way.

Riku: Feraligatr

Sato: Frolass

Layli: Pichu

Saori: Topaz and Quilava(Topaz will be out of the pokeball)

Kiyoye: Corsola

Kiyoko: Weavile

Aeri: Aries(Flareon with sunglasses)

They made sure they were all warm and they walked into the snow covered route, 216 and 217.

layli squealed and hugged her Pichu which wore a little jacket as well. "It's freezing!" Sato then said teasingly "What? You thought it'd be warm?" He said laughing and ruffled her hair, She then punched him on the arm "Not funny!" And they all continued walking

After walking for an hour they saw a house. "I guess there are people who live out here in these freezing tempatures." Kiyoye said and they stopped by to rest. "How much farther till Kissaki?" Saori asked Riku and he pulled out the map. "Hmm...Were almost to route 217." Aeri said holding Aries. "you're going to Kissaki aren't you?" asked the owner of the house. "Yep." The owner sighed "Well i recommend you hurry. A blizzard might come in the morning." Saori got up and bowed in respect "Thank you for your concern. We will hurry."

They rushed out and were greeted by the harsh winds of route 217. "Walk in a striaght line! Don't lose sight of each other!" Riku yelled. They quickly lined up walking through the snow. Saori squinted and she lost sight of the others."Where'd they go?" She thought worried. She fell to the ground and lay there. "I'm so tired...I think I'll rest..."She whispered quietly. Topaz crawled out of her jacket and saw Saori lying on the ground "Oh no! Saori! Saori! Get up! Don't fall asleep! WAKE UP!!!" Topaz chirped afraid. "What do i do?! I can't leave her! But I need to let the others know! Thats it!" Topaz dived into Saoris backpack and came out pushing a pokeball. topaz pecked the button to release the pokemon inside. Yuffie popped out of the pokeball and to Topaz's suprise, Yuffie was not affected much by the cold. "Whats wrong Topaz?" Yuffie asked worried. "Its Saori! She's collasped! go and find the others! Quickly!" Topaz yelled. Yuffie nodded and took off running leaving a flurry of snow.

"Where's Saori?!" Sato roared and riku yelled back "I don't know! She must've fallen behind!" They argued among themselves and then at that Yuffie tackled Riku! Riku looked in suprise at Yuffie. "Yuffie! Where's Saori?!" Yuffie tugged at Riku's jacket and Riku got up. "Come on!" He yelled to the others.

"Huh?...Where am I?..."

"She's waking up!"

"Huh?"

"Finally! You're awake!"

Saori opened her eyes and saw all her friends crowded around her. "Wuh? What happened?" She said about to sit up. Riku grabbed her by the shoulders "Lay back down. you need to rest." He said gently. Sato stood next to him "You nearly gave us a heart attack! We were wondering were you were!" He said quickly. Riku glared at him but hugged Saori "Right now, all that matters is that you're safe." He whispered. "...-blush-" Layli smiled "I'm glad you're ok!"

Everyone else nodded. "Bye the way. Where are we?" Saori asked looking around. Aeri smiled "We're at Kissaki city!"
