Clemont stood at the edge of the ravine. He was looking down to see how deep it was. After he threw a small pebble down, it took about thirty seconds until they heard a small thud. If they wanted to save Ash and Serena, they needed to find a way across. Bonnie sat on a rock playing with Dedenne. She loved to talk to him and eat snacks together.

"You know" Clemont exclaimed. "I could build a machine that allowed us to go over without falling into the ravine. I could call it the Walk-Over-To-The-Other-Side Machine"

Bonnie stared at her big brother. Even though he was older, he still doesn't think straight sometimes. Besides, his inventions always exploded. If he were to build something like that, they could fall down when they're half-way across.

"Clemont" Bonnie said calmly. "They already invented that, it's called a bridge and it's been around for many years. Also, why can't we just send over Fletchinder and Hawlucha"

"Well, if you want to do the easy way" Clemont mumbled.

"Now Clemont" Bonnie said strictly. "You know that is the safe way to go. What I say goes. Do you understand?"

"Yes Bonnie"

Clemont is older, responsible, and a great big brother but sometimes Bonnie needs to step in and talk some sense into him.

"Clemont just got owned by a little girl" Chespin said chuckling. He even started doing a little re-enactment of what just happened.

Froakie rolled his eyes. The gluttonous Pokémon was always pulling pranks and cracking jokes. Even at the lab when Froakie, Fennekin and Chespin were buddies, he couldn't keep his eyes off the food in the kitchen. Chespin was still a really good friend though. He just had a different way of expressing it. Fennekin walked up to the water-type Pokémon with a worried expression on her face.

"Do you think Ash and Serena will be Ok?" Fennekin asked trying to stay calm even though she was panicking on the inside.

"They'll be fine. Ash is there and I know he's strong. That's why I chose him to be my trainer in the first place" Froakie replied.

"You chose Ash?"

"Duh! I mean, why are trainers the only ones who get to choose? Why don't Pokémon have a choice?"

"Good point. So that's why you ditched every trainer! I thought it was because you hated people and you're really stubborn"

"I'm stubborn and I don't hate people. I judge their personalities"

Fennekin giggled a bit. The two of them chit chatted for a while as they listened to Clemont's plan. Pikachu sat down next to Jet the Pichu they befriended. The electric types were talking through sparks. Pikachu had to admit, it was fun talking to another electric type besides Dedenne.

"So you're with that guy on the other side" Jet said.

"His name is Ash and Yes" Pikachu replied.

"Man, I still can't believe I kidnapped people and helped someone evil"

"Don't feel bad, we all have our good and horrible moments but it's fun anyway"

"I guess you're right Pikachu. It's nice talking to another Pokémon for a while. I barely get any time to have fun. I hate to admit this but getting kidnapped was the highlight of my life"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, my trainer doesn't give me time to play or have fun. I just train all day, work all night. My trainer is obsessed with being perfect. But even though, I still know that he cares about me"

"Tough life"

"Yup"

Clemont finally had to hand it to Bonnie. Her idea was simple, planned, and was probably going to work. There were no machines involved but it was going to be great.

"Fletchinder, Hawlucha, are you two ready?" Clemont asked feeling confident.

"We are" they both replied ready to fly.

The two of them took their starting positions at the back of the wall. They ran all the way to the edge and leaped off. As soon as they were in mid-air, they glided towards the "Couple".

Back on the other side, Clemont was working on phase two. He started build a stone bridge using rocks, vines, and small pieces of wood. He had help, of course. Bonnie and the other Pokémon looked for any spare parts they could use. When they finally finished the bridge, they just needed to test it.

"Better hope this works" Clemont said as he started to walk across. The wooden planks wobbled and a few pebbles fell to the ground. Bonnie let out a sigh of relief when he reached the end.

One by one, they all made it to the other side. Hawlucha and Fletchinder had just finished untying Ash and Serena.

"That feels a lot better" Ash said stretching.

"We have to get out of here, now!" Serena said in a hushed whisper. "Before he catches us again"

"Who?" Bonnie asked.

"I'll explain later"

The four of them ran towards the bridge, eager to get out as fast as possible. Before any of them could step on the bridge, an explosion blasted them back against the wall. Bunnelby, now a robot, stood in front of the bridge. Clemont looked shocked.

"What is it now bunny-boy?! I have things to do!" Calem said walking out from the cave door. He quickly spotted the bridge, then Ash, Serena, Clemont, and bonnie on the other side. He ran across the bridge to Bunnelby.

"What is going on?!" Calem asked.

"Let us out, now!" Serena ordered.

"Looks like I'll be having four prisoners!"

"Fennekin! Flamethrower!"

The Fox Pokémon jumped in front of Serena and unleashed a burning fire at Calem.

"Bunnelby, Whirlpool!"

Bunnelby quickly formed a whirlpool above his head and launched it at Fennekin.

"STOP!" Clemont shouted. "Don't hurt him!"

"Hurt who?" Ash asked.

"My Pokémon"

"Clemont, this is the only way of escaping. We'll revive him later"

"I really hate doing this but, if I have to. Chespin, use Pin-Missile"

Green spikes shot out and attacked Bunnelby.

"Pikachu, thunderbolt" Ash commanded.

The electric type unleashed a thunderbolt, causing Calem to stumble backwards. Quickly regaining his grip, Calem started to scale the walls. He stood on top of a rocky peak and watched Ash and the others below.

"DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!" he yelled.

"Too late" Serena said smirking.

Calem looked over his shoulder to see his robot-Bunnelby on the floor.

"Go!" Ash said rushing them all across.

"You first" Serena told Ash.

"Are you sure?"

"We don't have time"

Ash ran across the bridge to the other side. Serena started to rush across. Calem stared down with hate and then saw Bunnelby's eyes glow red. It wasn't over yet.

"Now!" Calem shouted.

Bunnelby jerked his head to the side and used Mud-Shot on the bridge causing it to collapse in a heap. Serena was still on. She screamed as she fell.

"SERENA!" Ash shouted and he jumped down after her. As they fell, Ash grabbed Serena. He pressed his lips on hers and he said one thing only. "I love you"

Darkness is left. Nothing else.

Sorry for long updates. This took about a week since I was filled up on homework. UGH! :P
