Chapter 16:
My Big Brother Silver!
Silver dug his fingers into the earthy wall, his hands were sore. He had been scratching the wall for three hours now. He needed to find a way out, but the wall was too hard. He made a few dents; he was working on his sixth hole. He looked down at his bloody hands, they were a bit numb. His face and shoulders were covered in his blood. He watched Paul claw the rock hard wall. He was relived he was awake to help. Paul stared at the nauseated Silver, he smirked.
"Take a break, you idiot…" Silver shook his head, irritating the plum-haired trainer. He balled his hand and thrust it into his look-alike's face. He hit the wall and fell on the ground. He needed to rest anyway… Paul shrugged and continued his work. He wanted to get his dream off his mind. Carving holes in the wall helped him. He was surprised after all Silver did to his hands; he still tried to get them out, safely. He rolled his sleeves up and resumed to scrape the wall. He needed be finished before Dawn or Silver woke up. Meaning, he had to hurry…
"Paul, what are you doing?" Too late. He turned around to see the bluenette, her arms folded over her chest. He sighed, examining her figure. She was covered in dirt, he focused on her face. Her blue eyes and pink lips seemed to be the only ones that looked clean. He pointed at Silver, who was still unconscious.
"Take care of him, he's tired." She walked over to the sleeping trainer. She took a quick glance at his hands, she gasped.
"What happened?" She tugged at Paul's sleeve; she managed to rip it off. She ran back to Silver and wiped his hands. He winced in his sleep.
"See these holes?" She nodded, "He made them all with his fingernails." Dawn carefully lifted his hand to her eye level. His nails were broken and the sensitive skin was exposed. She tired to clean them before any infections start. She noticed a bump on his cheek and titled her head.
"What about his cheek?" Paul looked away.
"I did that…" She slapped him, scolding him on his rudeness.
"Will you stop that?"
"NO! YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW BE NICE TO OTHERS!" She put her hands on her hips.
"I'M NICE TO YOU, RIGHT?"
"YOU ALSO NEED TO BE NICE TO SILVER!"
"Are you my brother?"
"No, I'm not. But look at Silver; he's torturing himself to get us out! Show some compassion!" Before Paul could protest, he was cut off.
"Paul…" Silver whispered with a smirk, he was on his feet. The two directed their attention to the red-haired trainer. "If you are right and there are people watching us," He kicked his boot off and unzipped the hidden pocket in the shoe. His smirk grew wider as he pulled out an unknown Pokeball. He threw the ball and the purple monster came out. "Then I'd have my Gengar with me…" The ghost Pokemon happily greeted its master. Dawn literally ran into his arms and rubbed her head against his chest.
"Oh my GOSH, you're such a smart person! You're like me and Paul's big brother!" She squealed. Silver gave Paul a smile; he knew that comment relieved Paul. Even if he knew Dawn had a crush on the rude trainer, he wanted to make sure she didn't like Silver as well.
"Well, thank you, Lil' Sis. But why don't you give Paul a hug, he's getting jealous." Dawn shook her head.
"No, Paul's a meanie, he doesn't deserve one." He chuckled as Paul's jaw dropped on the ground.
"That isn't very nice, he's born a jerk. Give him a break…" She smiled and threw her arms around Paul, pulling him into a tight embrace. He looked the other way, embarrassed.
"Silver, how can Gengar help?"
"Gengar can levitate, so he can get us up there one by one." He looked at his Pokemon; it nodded and took Dawn first. The two boys watched the ghost float towards the top. It set Dawn down carefully on the edge, descending to the boys.
"DAWN, WAVE AT US SO WE KNOW YOU'RE THERE!" Silver yelled as Gengar grabbed Paul, she popped her head out and waved at Silver. She kept her eyes on him to make sure he was still there. Paul was kneeling beside her in Silver's sight. Returning back to its master, it made one last trip up and was praised.
"Well, looks like we'll need to go straight…" Silver suggested. The other two agreed and walked forwards, as always. After a while Paul realized something.
"Hey, Silver…? Why didn't you tell us about your Gengar at first?" Paul asked suspiciously.
"I was kind of busy listening to your crazy assumption; I should've tried it earlier. Not only did I ruin my fingers, but YOU also have sore fingers…" Silver seemed to be more concerned about Paul then usual.
"What's up with you?"
"I'm focused on getting you two out safely. I feel like I'm responsible if any of you get hurt. All I ask is for you, Paul, to stop being stupid and keep Dawn safe." Paul shoved his hands in his pockets and looked the other way. Silver WAS their older brother, he seemed to be way more responsible then ever.
"Whatever…" Paul mumbled. Silver looked at his Gengar and sighed. The purple Pokemon glared, its eyes focusing forward.
"What's up, Gengar, sense anything?" The trio heard a squeal from the darkness. It became louder and louder as every second passed. A small figure appears and it gets closer.
"DAWN!" The girl jumps into the Coordinator's arms.
"Amako?" The girls giggle and cheer at the reunion. Paul and Silver examine the girl, noticing something different… She's not a ghost!
"Little girl, the game is over. Who are you really?" Paul glared at her, making her tremble.
"I don't know what you're talking about…"
"Don't act innocent; you aren't a ghost, why?" She began to panic and she stuttered.
"I-I found the exit…? Yeah! It's not to far ahead!" She ran into the darkness and the trio followed her. She kept on running; every step she took made her gradually faster. Soon, they lost sight of her, Silver and Dawn stopped. Paul wanted to find her, but found a wall instead. He ran into the rather hard wall, they two watching him heard a puppy-like yelp. Dawn ran over to him and giggled.
"Are you okay, you hit the wall pretty hard?" Paul looked at her, earning him a gasp. He had a bloody nose, she shrieked as she hugged his head.
"Oh, Pauly, do you need me to kiss your boo-boo?" He looked away from her; he hated it when she teased him. He crossed his arms and looked away. His cheeks slightly tinted pink. No could see anyway, it was too dark.
"Stop messing around, where did that little girl go to?" The Gengar glared at the wall, touching it. The Pokemon grunted at its trainer.
"I think Gengar found something…" The trainers watched the Pokemon react towards the dead end. It seemed irritated and somewhat scared of whatever it sensed. Dawn touched the wall as well, she concentrated on it. Suddenly her hand went through; she felt a hand grabbing her.
"GUYS, HELP!" The two boys hurriedly grabbed her arm, pulling her back. Both her legs were jerked into the other side. Soon, her upper body, she screamed. The boys did all they could to get her back, she was gone. Silver managed keep a grip on her. Paul pulled Silver with Gengar's help. His palms began to sweat and Silver's clothing moistened.
"Just let go, I promise I'll keep her safe!" Paul tightened his fists.
"No, I'm not gonna let you-!"
"Trust me, quit being stubborn!" Paul nodded and slowly let go. Silver, too disappeared.
"Take care of her you idiot, let's go Gengar…" The Pokemon followed the purple haired boy. They need to find another way to them.

Dawn gripped Silver's black sleeve as they walked foreword. Their surrounding were very different, it was also very calm. They were in a dark forest, ones with green trees. There was no sun, moon or sky. Either they were crazy or they were out of the cave.
"We have to go back inside to get Paul!" Silver grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from the cave.
"We need to get help, what good can we do if we're dead?" She bit his arm, he loosened his grip.
"I'm not gonna leave him behind!" She ran back and tried to find another entrance. Silver ran after her, she was standing at the opening in the cave. It was a very short distance around…
"What in the world is this?" she looked at their Pokeballs, lying around the front. Silver caught up with her, he noticed her shoulders shaking.
"What's wrong?" She looked at him, tears forming.
"This isn't right; we were in there for a long time…" She got on her knees and she cried into her hands.

Paul sat against the wall, thinking deeply. He watched the Pokemon pace around, waiting for a response.
"Gengar, do you know Teleport?" The Pokemon shook its head.
"I guess we'll have to wait for something to happen." Paul looked up at the ceiling, his eye lids felt heavy. He was sound asleep…

"We need to get back inside!" Dawn tried to run back into the entrance, she was stopped by a dark creature.
"I'm sorry; I can't let you do that, Dawn."
"Amako?"
