Pikachu, Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie continued to stare down the hole dug by Bunnelby. Pikachu had said that Ash was down there but that only meant one thing. Their trapped underground. Clemont and Bonnie were talking at a tree nearby. They had not noticed the four of them staring down the hole. They were just discussing about a plan they could do to help save Ash and Serena.

"How about we go back to my lab and find some spare parts to build a new machine?" Clemont suggested. "It could have a radar on it to help track down any humans in the area"

"Clemont" Bonnie said trying not to yell at him. "If you haven't noticed, we are humans and so is everyone else in Lumiose city"

"Hey, I didn't have any time to think clearly about this plan. At least I'm trying here"

"Well, Dedenne could have done what a radar does if Pikachu got captured too"

Pikachu quickly jerked his head to the side and stared at Bonnie with an expression that said "Really, I thought we were friends" Snapping out of it, Pikachu decided to call them over in order to stop them from snapping at each other. Those two could go at it forever. One time, Bonnie was running low on ideas for who Clemont should marry, so she proposed to every girl that walked down the path. That got her a long talk about privacy, alone.

"Hey, we found Ash!" Pikachu called. Clemont and Bonnie turned their attention away from each other and looked at Pikachu. Without hesitation, they both ran over in relief. As they both came over, the crowd of Pokémon made room for them to see. Clemont looked down with a confused expression.

"Are you sure he's down there?" Clemont asked.

"I can pick up his scent" Pikachu replied. He had a confident look on his face and knew his trainer was there. This was their only chance of finding him.

"Well then, I'm guessing Bunnelby must have found Ash but something terrible happened and that's why he's not back yet" Clemont thought aloud.

Bonnie stared at him. "You don't need a genius to figure that out" she mumbled.

"I have an idea. We can send Dedenne down the hole with a tracking device on him. That way we can follow him above ground to see where he goes. When he reaches where Ash and Serena are, we can just dig a hole there"

"But won't Dedenne be in danger"

"We have no other choice Bonnie"

Bonnie had small tears in her eyes. She didn't want to lose her friend or in this case, family member. For another two minutes, Clemont and Bonnie were arguing still until Bonnie finally gave in. Clemont put a small tracking device on Dedenne and turned it on. Before he went down the hole, Bonnie picked him up in to say goodbye.

"Good luck Dedenne. I'll miss you" she said softly.

After, Dedenne scampered down the hole. Above him, Clemont, Bonnie, and the other Pokemon were following the tracking device. When they finally reached the end, they used one of Clemont's machines to dig a hole and reach Dedenne. They found Dedenne staring at the hole through a metal wall. Pretty soon, they all found the secret lair.

Sorry if this part is rushed. Back to the story….

Clemont was helping Bonnie get down on the floor. He carefully placed her down on the ground. Soon, Dedenne ran up to her with a smile. He jumped on her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek.

"Where are we?" Pikachu asked.

"It kind of looks like the Prof. Sycamore's lab, but underground" Froakie replied.

"Well, according to my nose, Ash is in….here"

Pikachu was leaning against a wall. He tried feeling around as if he was expecting a door right there. He tried banging it but that only hurt his paw.

"I don't get it" he mumbled to himself. "Ash is right in the wall"

"Um guys….." Fennekin said as her voice trailed off.

She was right beside a pink hat with a black ribbon attached to a bow. It was Serena's hat. Why was it here on the floor? She wouldn't leave it on the floor unless something was wrong…..

"You know, there could be a secret passage we have to unlock in order to get through" Clemont explained. "If we could trigger it, then it's possible the door will unlock and we'd be able to get through to the other side"

"Thanks genius!" Chespin exclaimed. "Since Ash and Serena can't walk through walls, that's the best you can come up with"

"Well, could you do any better at coming up with an idea?"

"No" Chespin mumbled.

The group decided spread out among the lair searching for a trigger. Pikachu looked through a small shelve of books at the corner of the room. Fennekin and Dedenne looked by the desk. Froakie and Chespin tried to see if there were any switches on the wall. Hawlucha and Fletchinder looked on the ceiling while Clemont and Bonnie searched the floor.

"UGH!" Chespin shouted. "I GIVE UP!"

"Voice Code Activated" A computer voice said. "Welcome Back Master"

A door to the side of the cave opened revealing a passage way into a small cavern. Clemont was absolutely amazed by how this technology worked. "If this guy wasn't evil, I'd need to ask for some tips" he thought to himself.

They all left the room, well, except for Fennekin.

"Oww!" Fennekin screeched.

Froakie and Pikachu turned around to see Fennekin rubbing her bruised paw. They both walked over to her to help her up. Suddenly, Robot Pichu bolted inside. The Pichu carefully examined the three of them and its eyes flashed red.

"YOU ARE NOT MY MASTER" Pichu yelled. Clemont and Bonnie turned around in time to see the door snap shut.

The Pichu started to glow and launch a powerful ray towards them. The three of them dodged it behind a pile of metal scraps. They looked at the wall and saw a line of smoldering smoke.

"W-was that hyper beam?!" Froakie said, still shocked at what just happened.

"Was that even a Pokémon?!" Fennekin yelled back.

"I think it was a robot but it looks like a Pichu" Pikachu replied.

"Yeah, a Pichu used hyper beam" Froakie said rolling his eyes.

"Whatever that thing is, we have to destroy it"

"Kind of obvious Pikachu"

Pikachu stepped out from behind the hiding spot and used Thunderbolt. The electricity zapped out of the electric mouse and on the robot. Pichu flashed and a green circle formed around it.

"Oh come on" Pikachu shouted in anger. "This thing knows Protect too"

"Examining move set" the Pichu said. "Attract, activate"

Pink hearts started floating around Pichu and he eventually launched it towards Pikachu. Pikachu froze on the spot wondering what to do.

"Pikachu, look out" Froakie said as he shoved Pikachu to the side. The pink hearts floated and Froakie fell to the floor.

Fennekin walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.

"You OK!" she asked.

Froakie's eyes opened slowly. "I think I'm in love with you" he mumbled.

"Pikachu! Ehh…this is weird" Fennekin called.

"Don't worry, it's just the effect of Attract. What we have to worry about is getting beat up by this Pichu" Pikachu yelled back.

"Got it" she replied and Fennekin used Flamethrower.

The fire blasted towards the machine but it bounce off when Pichu used Mirror Coat. Fennekin dodged it in time but the tip of her tail was scorched. The Flamethrower also ended up hitting Froakie and he slammed against wall.

Fennekin took one last look at her tail. "Err" she growled and she jumped on top of the robot causing it to crash to the ground. Then, she used Scratch multiple times.

Froakie looked up as Pikachu rushed over to him.

"Are you still in love with Fennekin?" Pikachu asked.

Froakie stared at him with a confused expression. "Excuse me?"

"Your fine"

"Shouldn't we be attacking the ro-…..Never mind" Froakie said. He had turned to his side mid-way in between their conversation. What he saw was Fennekin hitting it constantly.

"Don't mess with her appearance or she will claw you to death" Pikachu said chuckling.

"I know that. She scorched Ash two times while making her Poke vision"

"I feel guilty about that still"

"Anyway, let's finish this thing up!" Froakie said as he formed a Water-Pulse between his hands and threw it at the Pichu.

"Circuits messed up" Pichu said. "Wiring damaged. Information gone…."

The Pichu got shut down and started to blow up. When the smoke cleared, a small Pichu sat up rubbing his head.

"Where and What?!" The Pichu exclaimed.

The three of them gasped as they stared at the tiny creature they had just fought. It wasn't a robot.

"Where's Jeffrey?" Pichu asked looking around confused.

"Who in the world is Jeffrey and what just happened?" Froakie asked.

"Jeffrey is my trainer. My name is Jet. The last thing I remember is getting kidnapped by a boy and being transformed into a robot"

"Well Jeffrey, if you help us stop the evil guy who kidnapped you, we'll make sure to track down your trainer"

"Deal!"

The door to the small cavern opened again and the three Pokémon and their new friend walked to a worried Clemont and Bonnie. The two trainers let out a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, this is Jet, he was turned into a robot" Pikachu explained.

"I only understood half of that" Bonnie replied.

"It'll make more sense after we explain it to you"

"I'm pretty sure it will"

Everyone finally got a look at their location. They were in some type of cave filled with minerals and ore. Granite was in the walls and giant rock pillars hung from the ceiling. It was like a giant mining place you could visit for a tourist attraction. There was a giant crack in between; it separated them from the other side. On the other side, you could make out two figures. One was a boy and the other was a girl. They were tied together and were guarded by a Pokémon.

There was no doubt that it was Ash and Serena.
