Ash speed walked in the many rows of pokemon. As much as he wanted to free them all, he knew he'd be in deep trouble if he did.

Some of the pokemon looked unrecognizable, not that he didn't know what they were, but he could barely tell if the thing was alive. It made him shudder. He hoped Ghasteon and Pikachu didn't end of like that.

To Ash, he'd been searching for days. He had no prospective of the time in the dark, windowless facility. He only had occasional conversations with Bonnie to entertain himself. But she always answered.

"You have to be here somewhere, Ghasteon..." he muttered under his breath.

But then a familiar shape caught his eye. A purple translucent quadrupedal with a large, fluffy tail.

"Ghasteon!" He unintentionally said a bit loudly. He quickly shut his mouth and looked around. Coast was still clear. He squeezed his way past a few green pods before arriving at hers.

But something was wrong. Ghasteon's eyes glowed white, and her face was drooped into an expression of an emotionless frown. The pokemon's body was intact, thankfully.

"Bonnie!" Ash whispered. I found Ghasteon! But something's wrong!"

"What do you mean?"

"Her eyes are white and everything! And-"

A male voice bellowed behind Ash. He nearly jumped.

"Well, look who it is! Mr. Ash Ketchum!"

Ash spun around in fear. There, stood the man's that was his worst nightmare. The one person Ash never wanted to see again.

Giovanni.

"I must say, you and that little worm did a fine job sneaking into my secret facility. I will be sure to fire some workers."

Ash clinched his teeth, hiding his fear.

"You monster!" He yelled. "Why would you do this?! How did you even find me?"

Giovanni only smirked. He clapped his hands twice and a shadowy hypno emerged from the darkness. It held a black pendulum with a red crystal on it's forehead.

"I have created my own Pokemon Ketchum. These new species can do anything I want. Like giving me a nice view of your break in."

The red gym on the Hypno's forehead sparkled as Giovanni spoke.

Ash reached for his tranquilizing gun, but before he could, it suddenly ripped itself away from his hand. It flew away from him and slid on the floor a few meters away, skidding to a stop.

Giovanni waved a finger.

"We won't need that, Ketchum."

"Ash? What's going on? Talk to me! You found Ghasteon, right? Ash!"

The boy didn't respond.

"Hypno." Giovanni simply said. Hypno stepped forward towards Ash. It used confusion Ray and fired it at Ash. The boy dove out of the way as the beam shattered many pods, soaking Ash.

"A-a-a-ash! Wha-ats going o-on? Seri-ou3ly, do-o $#£!,[email protected]&wb!"

Ash through the malfunctioning ear piece to the floor. He reached for his pokeballs, but he realized he didn't have them.

"Looking for these?" Giovanni teased, holding several pokeballs in his hand. Ash growled angrily.

Giovanni clapped his hands again and a man in a grey trenchcoat appeared behind him.

"Take Geareon and despose of the girl, will you Akuma?"

The man nodded and disappeared into the darkness. Ash ran up to Giovanni on the shards of glass all over the floor.

"Don't you dare-"

Hypno seemingly extended it's pendulum and swung it at Ash. It shattered nearly every pod with Giovanni's sight and knocked Ash in the stomach. He flew back into Ghasteon's pod, breaking it. The top crashed down on Ash's legs as Ghasteon flopped beside him. He whinced before shoving the metal piece off of him.

"You're not going anywhere." Giovanni spoke calmly.

BONNIE POV

"Ash? Hello?" Bonnie yelled.

'This isn't good.' She thought. She flipped through the cameras to find Ash.

As she went through the cameras, she spotted a man outside the security room. She stopped and flipped back to the camera. He was an older man with a grey trenchcoat. Beside him was a pokemon that somewhat looked like an eeveelution.

But this time, she wasn't excited to meet it.

The door suddenly opened as a dart flew between the crack. Bonnie's chair swung to the side, making her tumble into the floor. She looked up to see the dart directly where her head was. She quickly got up and pressed her back on the small island in the middle of the room. She reached out and gripped her rifle.

A few more darts flew over her head and landed on the panels in front of her. She gulped.

"You'va caused enough trouble, little girl." The Akuma's voice bellowed.

Bonnie scrambled to find Dedenne, but before she could, she spotted the metallic pokemon beside her. She quickly rounded the corner as a beam of yellow energy streamed out beside Bonnie.

After the beam subsided, she pointed her rifle around the corner and fired a few shots. The darts simply bounced off Geareon's metal armor. It fired another beam as Bonnie slipped back around the corner.

She fumbled with her bag as she forced it open, revealing a sleeping Dedenne.

Suddenly, a hand came from above Bonnie as it grabbed Dedenne and chucked it across the room. She glanced up to see the man in the trenchcoat.

Bonnie rolled out of the way as several darts hit the floor where she was. She was backed into a wall.

Akuma stood utop the island screen with the pokemon emerging beside him on the floor. Geareon jumped into the air and spun rapidly. Bonnie recognized it as corkscrew crash.

She jumped to the side as Geareon tore through the wall, making a hole into the floor below.

Bonnie jumped to her feet as Akuma began rapidly shooting darts at her. But she was too small and fast for any of them to connect.

In desperation, she slid under Akuma and forced the gun upward. The darts git the ceiling as she kept shoving against him. Akuma took his heavy boot and kicked the girl hard, sending her into the wall once more.

Bonnie coughed a little before getting up and running.

"Get back here! You little runt!"

Bonnie shot some darts at the man. For being this big, Akuma was really fast, and evaded it easily. Bonnie grabbed onto a nearby chair and carried it beside her as a shield. Akuma's darts stabbed themselves into the leather as Bonnie ran out the door, abandoning the chair as she did so.

Bonnie tripped a little before running down the hallway. By now, the alarms blared, with red light streaming everywhere. The blonde turned a corner before a force below her threw her forward, making her involuntary front flip. She grimaced as she hit the ground on her back.

Geareon stood behind her charging a flash cannon. Bonnie attempted to get up, but the back of her legs were hit by the energy. She screamed a little before falling again. She fired more shots at the pokemon, one of them hitting it directly in the eye. Geareon cried in pain as it shook it's head around violently.

Bonnie scrambled up and hurried to the cafeteria. She ran into the kitchen and sealed it shut.

The blonde kneeled down to check her legs. They were only red and bruised. But not bleeding.

She peeked above her as she reloaded. The man was no where in sight and Geareon was still panicking outside.

Bonnie got up quickly and exited the kitchen. She sprinted to the side hall away from Geareon. She needed to find Ash and Ghasteon. But as she rounded the corner, she bumped into something. She stumbled back and looked up in horror.

"Where are you going?" Akuma spoke.

Bonnie turned to run only to see Geareon charging another flash cannon. It hit her in the arm, and she collapsed on the wall, losing her rifle in the process.

The blonde's vision was blurry, but she saw the man stand over her. Her arm still smoking a little. Stray darts dotted the floor.

"You shouldn't have ever messed with me." Akuma said.
