Max and Bonnie were continuing to search for her Pokemon that got lost. There hasn't been a sign of them for days. But then Dedenne noticed something and called over Bonnie.
"What is it Dedenne?" Bonnie asked.
Max looked over to what Dedenne was looking at and screamed. "I-It's Drew! And May…"
"Oh! What are they doing out here?"
"Who cares! Let's just get out of here before they find us and get us in trouble!"
"Good idea!"
They ran across the river. They stopped at the other side and caught their breath.
Then Bonnie noticed her Dodrio and gasped. "There you are!" Bonnie shouted.
Dodrio looked at her in fear and ran off.
"Stop!" She tried to return it, but the beam missed.
Dedenne chased after it, and so did Max and Bonnie. But then they both slammed into Ash and down a long hill.

It was a lot more stressful than Kris thought. There was school that she had to contend with, had to deal with homework, and now she's helping search for a couple of students. But she was glad to help out anyways she can. Then they call in from the walkie talkie.
"Ash just feel down into region number four with Max and Bonnie! We all need to search around there!"
Leaf and Kris looked at the map, and figured out that there not too far away from that spot. So they both started heading there.

Bonnie woke up after the fall and noticed Ash and Max where coming too.
"Are you two alright?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah… What are you two even doing way out here anyways?" Ash asked.
Max slid right up next to him. "Ash my pal… You I'm sure you've been feeling as though school is a complete waste of time as well, right?"
"…Come on Max. We've all been really worried about you two."
Max and Bonnie looked down with a sad look.
"Now come on. Let's go return to the dorms, and I'll help sort everything out for you two!"
"B-But Ash… Before we do that, I need to find Dedenne!" Bonnie said.
Ash gasped. "Dedenne got lost?"
Tears fell from Bonnie as she nodded.
Ash put a hand on her shoulder. "Well don't worry! We'll find Dedenne!"
Max smiled. "Yeah, Ash is right! I'm sure all of us together, we surely can find him!"
Bonnie smiled and whipped away her tears. "Thanks guys! Let's go!"

Clemont sighed as he walked with Kenny. He found him pretty annoying and irritating. But he was helping them find his sister and Max, so he can't be all bad. Suddenly, a Dodrio ran right in front of him, almost hitting him. Then not too long after, Dedenne slammed right in his head and knocked him into the ground.
"Woah! Who's that Pokemon?" Kenny shouted.
"Dedenne… Where's Bonnie?" Clemont asked.
Dedenne looked around in a panic, then made a sad look.
"You don't know?" Clemont shouted.
Dedenne nodded.
Clemont groaned. "Well, it's late out, we need to start heading back to the dorms before curfew."
Dedenne started shouting in protest.
"I'm sorry Dedenne, but we have class again tomorrow. But don't worry. We'll look for them once we can, alright?" They were still far away from the place, and no one is sure where exactly they are at. It would be best to try again tomorrow.

It was late out, and Pikachu used it's electoral currents to try to find Dedenne, but he wasn't close by.
"Any luck, Pikachu?" Ash asked.
Pikachu shook its head no.
Bonnie gave a worried look.
"…Listen Bonnie, I know how much Dedenne means to you. But I don't think we'd be able to see him when it's this dark out," Ash said.
"Dedenne, I'm right here! Please come here!" Bonnie screamed as loud as she could.
Max and Ash covered their ears.
Max put a hand on her shoulder as tears fell from her face. "I'm sure he's fine. I mean, she was raised by a strong and smart trainer such as yourself."
Bonnie smiled at him. "You're right. Thanks Max."

Iris was feeling a lot better since the fight, so she's been thinking about joining the search with her friends. It'd get her mind off of all the nasty rumors going on around here. She was getting so bored just sitting around doing schoolwork. Besides, she's eager to get back out in the forest away from the school, and swing around from the trees. Iris walked around the halls when she heard some guys say something about how they are going to beat up that player, Cilan. The comment made Iris flare up and was about to say something to them, but then remembered what happened last time. So she followed them and listened to them to get their whole plan on what they plan to do.

Iris hid in the trees until school got out. The guys came behind the bushes with a whole group. Iris quickly chucked a rock hard into one of them, which made the guy slam into another guy. They argued for a bit, till they the guy pointed to Iris. She stuck her tongue at them and they all ran towards her. The first guy she knocked swinging around the tree branch and kicking them in the face as he ran towards her. Then she climbed up the tree and the guys climbed up after her. Iris dropped a backpack she filled with rocks on one of the guys and knocked some guys down. Then she snuck down the tree as the rest continued to climb for her.

Everyone was getting ready to go and search for Max and Bonnie again. They all are just waiting for Iris.
Suddenly, Cilan said, "…Iris texted me, saying she won't be able to help out tonight."
"That's too bad… I guessed it can't be helped. There's only one location they should be in! So should be able to find them!" Clemont said.
Everybody cheered, except Cilan. He sighed, and texted Iris asking her what's going on with her. But she didn't text back.

Pikachu continued to try and use its electricity to find Dedenne, while Max, Bonnie, and Ash yelled for it. But so far, no luck. They've searched nonstop, but there was no sign of Dedenne. Then a pidgeot spotted them and flew off.
"Wow, I didn't think I'd ever seen such an awesome wild pidgeot out here!" Bonnie shouted.
"… I don't think that was a wild pidgeot," Ash said.
"Wait! You mean someone found us?" Max started panicking.
"Well, yeah. But I don't think that's a bad thing. They can help us find Dedenne!" Ash said.
Suddenly, Leaf and Kris appeared and saw Max, Bonnie, and Ash.
Leaf giggled. "Well, you sure made it easy for us to find you by shouting."
"By the way, Dedenne is safe with Clemont, so you aren't going to find it out here!" Kris said.
"That's great! Dedenne is okay! Right Bonnie?" Ash asked.
"Yeah…" Bonnie said with a big smile.
Leaf called in on the walkie talkie that they found them, and they all went home.

Max and Bonnie got a week to have to stay after school, and might be longer if they slack on the work they were supposed to do for the week they were gone. Once they were back to the dorm area, they sat outside and sighed.
"So, what about Beedrill and Dodrio?" Max asked.
Bonnie closed her eyes with a smile. "I think they would be happier staying in the forest, and not be cooped up here."
Max smiled. "That's true… While what happened in the forest was pretty stressful, it was also was fun too!"
"You really think so?"
"Yeah! Though, for now I think we should stay here!"
"Totally."

Cilan sighed as he got on the bus to school. He still doesn't understand what happened with Iris last night, or why she hasn't spoken to him at all since the text. It would have been nice to have her help. But now Cilan was worried. It seems as though she's avoiding him, or maybe something horrible has happened to her. Cilan rushed around the school trying to find her. But he couldn't find her anywhere.

Bonnie and Max went to the classroom they were told to go to afterschool, and noticed quite a few other students in there as well. There they also noticed Iris.
"Hey! You are one of Ash's friends!" Max shouted.
"Yeah…" Iris replied.
"What are you doing in here?" Bonnie asked.
"For protecting… a friend."
"What?" Max asked.
"I… kinda skipped some classes to stop a friend from getting jumped."
"Wow, what a nice thing to do for a friend!" Bonnie said.
"But… what are you going to do if he's about to get jumped now?" Max asked.
Iris slammed her head against the desk and grabbed her hair. "I don't know!" Iris shouted.
The teacher came in. "Okay! Time to sit down, be quiet, and do your work!"
