"That sounds like a plan." Alison said as she and Cairo walked over to the house. "Pancakes look...un-appetizing." Lily said as she changed out of her pjs and into clothes. "I'd rather have rice or something...but this'll do." She said walking over to the food.

Chad walked into the room he had been staying in, hoping seeing Dani in her underwear wouldn't make their next meeting awkward. Pulling out his laptop from his bag, he checked the news. 'Snagem base uncovered! Agate citizens headed by Travis Peterson. Peterson, 17, led the citizens to what was previously an unidentified Snagem base where they proceeded to launch a full scale assault. No casualties ensued however, several captives have gone missing, among them being George Mason, Candice Bell, and Oliver Hopper. Authorities...' Chad stopped reading. So Oliver was alive after all, and close. He was hiding which could make it harder for him and the others to find him. "Hello?" A voice said from the main room. Chad carried his laptop and made his way over to the sound. Surprisingly, Alison and Cairo were standing in the house and looking questionably at the makeshift door. "Hey." Cairo said noticing Chad. "Hey," Chad said back. "check this out." He thrust his laptop towards Cairo to show him the article, Alison peeked over his shoulder to read it as well. Eevee, finished eating, came out of Chad's room and began to nudge his leg as if to say she wanted to go back in her pokeball. "Return." Chad said doing just that. Dani, fully clothed, came out of her room with Lily mumbling something before noticing Cairo. Smiling she greeted him and took the laptop from him after he was done reading, Lily taking a place behind her to read. After all of them had read the article Chad put his computer away and they discussed what they had read. Before Chad could say anything all five of them heard a noise coming somewhere in the house. The five of them stood up quickly, listening intently on the sound. "I think it's coming from the basement." Chad said quietly walking towards the basement door. The sound began to get closer, as if it was walking up the stairs. Heart pounding, pores prespiring, Chad opened the door, apparently, so did whatever was on the other side. A thin, brown haired man stood looking silently towards Chad and the others. Dani stepped foward, a surprised look on her face which quickly turned into an overjoyed one. "Dad!" She said running to embrace Oliver Hopper.

Dani ran into an embrace with the lanky figure who, after looking extremely surprised, even frightened at the trainer's presence embraced Dani and began to break down. "Danielle.." he said as he leaned over, embracing his daughter, both their eyes streaming. "Dad..." Dani began before releasing her father and wiping dry her moistened cheeks, "are- *sniff* - are you alright?" Oliver nodded as he wiped dry his face as well. "Ah, god, its been so long...how..how did you find me? Are, are there Snagem anywhere?" he began inquiring rapidly before Dani pointed out Cairo. "Kale sent Cairo and I, we haven't been here long, and no I don't believe theres any snagem" she concluded. Oliver approached Cairo and shook his hand, "Nice to see you, Cairo, thank you" Cairo nodded, "No problem, and likewise Mr. Hopper, nice to see you." "Alright well, its fantastic to meet you all" Oliver began, "but we need to get out of her very soon, Snagem and Cipher are probably already re-establishing their plots" The five trainers nodded, "does anyone have any flying Pok?mon?" Oliver inquired before the sound of glass shattering sounded loudly downstairs, accompanied by the sound of two men conversing angrily. All of the trainers looked to Oliver, whose eyes grew wide and his skin pallid. "Don't...make...a sound" Mr. Hopper said, outstreching his arms as if to protect the trainers from any possible harm.
Stairs creaked, Oliver took a few silent steps back as Dani ran to Cairo's side. She wrapped her arms around his, however, his eyes never left the intimidating darkness of the basement staircase. "There!" A voice shrieked from the staircase as an immense boom sounded, accompanied by a threatening luminescense exposing gun-weilding men, garbed in black. Oliver fell to the ground, avoiding the potentially lethal shot which hit the ceiling and rained plaster down on the trainers. "RUN!" he called as he stumbled to his feet. The trainers sprinted through the door, Oliver allowing all of them to go first. As they made their way out, they glanced back to see Oliver stumble slightly on the bottom of the door frame, "agh" came a high pitched shriek as he tried to regain his composure. Thunderous sounds boomed as Oliver screamed falling, defeated down a small flight of stairs that led to the home's deck. Old stairs smashed under his collapsed mass, his face was driven into the sand with a blank look. Blood shrouded his back as he lay motionless, it had been all of two moments since they were reuinted, and Oliver Hopper was dead. "DAD!" Dani screamed as she became inconsoleable, "Dani, come on!" Cairo said doubling back to the girl who had fallen to her knees, sullen. "There's not time!" Chad shouted. Cairo grabbed and picked up Dani before turning around and sprinting towards the cover a small forrest, teeming with lifeless trees. Dani writhed in Cairo's arms as she looked back to her deceased father, laying lifeless and beaten on the ground.
The Snagem trainers began opening fire on the forest, sights on the trainers as they sprinted. They screamed synonomously as thoughts of what to do raced through their minds, finally Chad called out, "Salamence!" As he threw a pokeball while sprinting. The ball flew forward and released an already airborne dragon. The ball flew back to Chad's hand as all of the trainers jumped to the hovering Pok?mon's back, before Chad ordered, "Get us out of here, now!" Salamence roared as it flew faster than it ever had, everyone avoiding gunfire from below as they clutched one another tightly and flew off away from Orre.

"I hate flying..." Lily mumbled as she held onto Chad and buried her head into his back so she couldn't see underneath her. "So, where are we to now?" Alison asked as she clutched Cubone who had jumped out of his pokeball as they flew off. "Cubone doesn't like heights either." She said looking down at the water and wondering if she'd ever see the leader of Snagem again, and hoping not.
((OCC: Who ever gets this, I don't know where they should go next, you two can choose))

Dani sat ahead of Cairo, with a blank stare on her face, tears silently streaming. "Dani..." Cairo began as he looked to his sullen friend. "I'm sorry Dani.." Dani sat silent for a few moments before she finally clenched a fist and announced, "Its not your fault... its no ones fault...I need to go home.." She began before she drew a pokeball. She outstreched her left arm, head still hung looking towards the ground. Upon quiet command the pokeball cracked open in her hand and released Beedril who flew adjacent to Salamence. She turned her head around and looked with agony into Cairo's eyes. He lifted one hand and brushed the tears from her face before she leaned over and wrapped her arms around, crying into his chest. "Everything's going to be fine, Miss Hopper.." Cairo assured her, "I promise" She looked up endearingly and kissed Cairo softly on the lips as Cairo blushed, speechless as she pulled away. "I love you Mister Whitter, thanks for everything" she said, "thank you all. All the trainers turned their heads to Dani to see her leap from Salamence and onto Beedrill. She landed and Beedrill dropped for a moment, losing its balance, but regained its composure before turning off into a different direction. Cairo looked to her with his mouth slighlty agate, glossy eyed as the soft wind ruffled his hair sparatically. The sun shown down accentuating his eyes as he turned his head forward again, moving himself up Salamence's back to Alison, who he wrapped his arms around securely.
A silhouette of a large dragon loomed over a shimmering ocean as it descended upon a colorful, evidently inhabitated mass of land.

As they landed and mismounted, Alison's face was still red with anger as she returned Cubone. She was upset about the kiss Dani had given Cairo. She felt that she should fell happy for them, but she didn't. She then brushed away any tears from her eyes and turned to ask, "Where exactly are we?"
