The Closest Ones

38. From light to dark

Bonnie POV

I had an awesome day. I had surprise party, I watched an awesome battle and I became an official pokemon trainer.

But that whole day couldn't erase how scared I was for Celebi. I knew Clemont told me that Celebi would be fine, but something in mind told me otherwise.

So sneak up from my bed and walked back to medical room to check on Celebi, I could say I was going to check on other pokemon, after all, they were resting there. I was in my new clothing, I wanted to try it on me and everything fit inside what I got.

And to my surprise, door were open to it and it alarmed me. I looked inside and saw someone inside and the silhouette looked like a man. And he was just opening Celebi's healing box and my eyes widened.

Flasback

"Clemont I needed to ask you a question." I asked as he was ready for battle.

"What is it Bonnie?"

"Did you somehow changed the security?" I asked as remembered how I couldn't enter to the gym before.

"Oh yeah, I made multiple upgrades to the security and only few people will be allowed to unlock the building. After that, anyone can enter but even inside is higher security, to medical room can enter only special people like trainers owning those pokemon, Clembot or nurse Joy if I will see to it or you. Also when someone use some of those accesses, Clembot and my computer will get notification. I just need a few things and you will have the same authorization as me." Clemont told me with smile, but I could hear a lot pride in his voice and I must say I was also.

Present

I looked at the person standing at Celebi. Someone hacked in here or got another way. I silently went closer to hidden alarm. Just a little closer....

"Bonnie?" the sudden voice made me freeze. It was familiar yet unfamiliar. It was the rougher voice I heard everyday, but now, I heard it witch chilling running down my back. I turned to the person and from the street lights outside, I saw almost Ash's face, but I couldn't see top of his head and something was off with him.

"W-what are you doing here Ash?" I didn't even know, but I was scared.

"I could ask you the same thing. Why aren't you sleeping." he asked and I tried to look at him more.

"I am here to make sure Celebi is fine..." I trailed off as Ash came closer.

"As you can see, Celebi is just fine. Now go, I just needed to do something." Ash said with calm, but I was feeling annoying him, but then my eyes heas fallen on Pikachu. I could see on screen higher sedatives. Ash's eyes followed mine, seeing what I saw and then groaning. "Damn it Bonnie." And then I saw it, his eyes were between his classic brown and bloody red. Before I could react, Ash punched the healing tube of Celebi, breaking the glass and pulling Celebi out and pushing me out of the way.

I smashed the alarm, causing the alarm to go off. I watched as Ash ran through the hall straight for the window. "Ok, you wanna hear it out loud. I would really need a lift!" Ash suddenly yelled and before I could say anything, Ash ran through the window, breaking it. I thought I would have a heath attack, but then some shadow flew down and then lifted Ash and carried him away.

No POV

A young female scientist with brown hair and few blond strands was quietly sleeping, when a sudden alarm from her tablet woke her up. She looked around confused, when the tablet was showing red numbers. Her eyes widened and looked at the special pokeball. It was shaking like wild and steam was coming out of it. Before she could reach it, it opened and the next thing she saw was broken wall next to her, with burned ground marks behind.
