After a long walk, we were literally out of the woods, but we weren’t figuratively out of the woods yet.

“And I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more...”

“If we continue on this path, we should reach the town soonish.” Monika said smilingly.

Suddenly Monika got snatched with a fishing rod.

“Radio save Monika!”

“I think your little magnet needs some saving too.”

Some fishers looking guys posed stupidly in front of me.

“Scared aren’t ya? I would be too, if I were attacked by the infamous Fisher Foes!” They grinned.

“Never heard of you.”

Their jaws dropped and they looked pretty shocked.

“Ergh.. well all you need to know is that we are feared across the world!”

“Doubt it. If you were that famous, you wouldn’t be stealing a Pokémon and a girl in the middle of the forest. You would be busy with bigger crimes.” They seemed to be sweating nervously.

“Shut up! Or we will cut the girl with a fish hook.” They looked pretty pissed off and they seemed pretty serious.

“Okay okay, I’ll back off so please don’t hurt them.” There has got to be a way to get rid of thoes clowns.

“We will be goi-“

“WOW A GIANT EATEN SANDWICH!”

They looked to where I was pointing.

“Wait a minute, that’s a tri- OUCH!”

I tricked the person holding Monika and punched him in the face. She then kicked the person holding Radio in the balls.

“Play some ACDC, Radio!”

“You’ve been...” he was charging with electrical power, sparks were flying everywhere.

“THUNDERSTRUCK!” The gang of bad bad guys were electrocuted.

“Let’s go before they wake up.”

We wanted to escape but a giant man stopped us in our tracks.

“What did you do to my henchfishermen?”

We took a step back.

“Freddy Fish doesn’t like this. Now Freddy Fish will keelhaul you.” He made a punching gesture.

“Radio, vroom!”

“Why it’s greased lighting!” Radio tried to shock Freddie but he was defended by a Goldeen.

“This is Thunder Tip. It diffuses your magnet. He has a Lightning Rod. Now give up before we have to take drastic measurements.” He closed in on us and when the other fishermen surrounded us, we were doomed.

“Hypnosis!” The Goldeen put us to sleep.

How does this keep happening to me. First I lose in the tournament, then I lose my arms and my Pokémon and now I might even lose Monika, Radio or my own life?

Such an undeserved series of unfortunate events.

After being knocked out for quite a while I woke up. It was too dark to see where I was. I appear to be chained to something as I couldn’t move. Suddenly the lights went on.

No...

Monika, her wrists cut open, multiple stab wounds, her otherwise beautiful face bloody and beat-up. She was hanging from the ceiling, her lifeless eyes glanced at me.

On the ground was Radio, disassembled, messed up and broken.

When suddenly I heard the words:

Y O U. A R E. N E X T.
