Chapter 2

"Man, I wish we took a map." Red sat down tired. "I thought you knew the way to Viridian Forest."

"Ah, sorry!" Yellow said embarrassed. Actually I was too busy thinking about what was bothering Red this morning. "Pikachu?" Yellow's pikachu, Chuchu looked worried.

"Well, do you know where we're going?" Red asked. "Pika-Pika?" Red's pikachu, Pika asked Chuchu.

"Oh, yeah this way,"

"HEY! DO YOU SEE BLUE YET YELLOW? HIS BLUE SHIRT? BROWN SPIKY HAIR?" Red called over to yellow.

"Nothing over here yet Red!" Yellow yelled back, "What about you two?"

"Pika Pika" Chuchu shook her head. Pika also looked up to Red and shook his head.

"I wonder where Blue ran off to?" said Red, thinking out loud.

"Don't know," Yellow said sadly, "I told him... I mean he said he would be here at 12:00 this morning."

"Hah, maybe he went...Ugh!" Yellow quickly put her hand over Red's mouth. Then she whispered in his ear, "Look I know what you're thinking but don't say it right now."

"Why?" Red looked confused. Pika looked confused as well. "Because," yellow said softly, "he's right over there." she pointed. Red froze, looked where she had gestured and sure enough there was Blue walking down the path. Red gestured Yellow, she looked and saw him mouth Thanks.

Then she ran towards Blue, "Blue! We're over here!" Yellow looks so happy, Red thought.

Blue was calm and cool as usual, "Hey, so why'd you ask me to come here?"

"What?" Red was very confused now, "You asked him to come?"

"Uh...yeah," Yellow shot Blue a serious glance and then he mouthed, What did I do? " I kinda wanted both of you to see the forest shrine," Yellow started to run, "I think you will really like the way..." Yellow stopped running. "W-What happened here?"

When Blue and Red caught up they froze in their tracks. All Blue could do was just stand and stare. Red went up to yellow, "Wow... I'm really sorry Yellow."

Right before them stood the Forest shrine but all that remain was ashes and the shrine stone. Yellow just stood and stared for a while and then dropped to her knees crying. "T-Th-This shrine was sacred I've protected it for years, It was the pride and balance of the forest." Then she stood up and looked as angry as Red had ever seen her, "Who could have done such an awful thing!" Then Chuchu came up to comfort her, "Pikachu?"

"Ah, so I see you've noticed Yellow" a voice boomed from above them.
