Gradient cursed, uttering words that would put Darkrai and Giratina combined to shame. He grabbed Jay and Jay grabbed Ashley as the trio tried to high-tail it out of there. "Yuri! Thomas! Ailla! Get the **** out!" Gradient screamed, letting his profanity loose as Jay and Ashley winced. Now was not time to be perfect; It was time to be alive.

Ashley was stumbling along blindly, being led by Jay. But inside, she was thinking like mad, crossing out things and reopening possibilities. This- This cursing Gradient was not the one she knew. She had known a kind, smart, Slowking Gradient, not this Sharpedo Gradient. Ashley tried to calm herself down, but found it almost impossible. Was the Gradient she had known in Sinnoh 100% fake?

Yuri and Thomas were on their heels Ren and Vul making sure William or Allia didn't get left behind either

William held the exit open long enough for everyone else to get out. As the others were exiting Ailla stopped to help her brother. "Alright you can go." William grunted just alking taking its toll. "No, you go i can hold it. And there might be someone else still in there." Ailla said trying to coax him out. William felt his arms weaken and in a final blast of streangth he pushed Ailla out of the entrance as the entrance collapsed on top of him. His aura snuffed out just like that in Aillas special vision. "William!" she shrieked digging at the ground trying to get him out even tho it was far to late.

(No saves Williams dead)

I almost feel bad about this. Almost. But it's just so much fun to torture characters. Also...say good by to Aillas only anker of sanity)

Ailla dug furiously at the rubble pleading for William to be ok.

Yuri and Both stopped and turned around hearing Allia and seeing the William was gone Yuri and Thomas didn't hesitate and ran to Allia Thomas Grabbing her by the arms as he pulled her to safety with the others. he sat her feet back on the ground once Ren and Vul had blocked her return to the Base. They were silent but Yuri Knew how She felt she had seen the same happen to her brother and the only thing she could do was give her a hug being a place for tears to dry, because no words would ever make a difference.

Perfect time for a pic I did of Newt and a Young Yuri



Kinda cut off his knee but oh well

Ailla had fought to get back to William, like she thought she could save him if she just dug him out, but now she just sat there in her own world. She didn't cry she didn't make a sound. She wanted to cry 13 years of torture and then this. "But I don't deserve it." She thought. Feeling as tho she didn't get to be sad. Not when it was her fault. All of it. If she had just listened to him. He would be here cracking some joke. maby it was just the moonlight but her hair just seemed to become paler whiter more...silver. She smiled it was hollow and not even close to convincing but she stood it was taking everything out of her to keep this bottled up. But as much as it hurt her she had to keep it concealed. She couldn't let it hurt anyone else. She turned no mistaking the fact her eyes were drastically more silver only the rim of her pupil and the few last remaining blue flecks all that were left of her blue eyes. Everything about her was just so laced with grief. Her eyes barely holding back tears were somewhat red from the irritation of the held back tears, her bottom lip quivering.

Ailla turned to Ashley still smiling that so painfully obvious fake smile. "I-I'm really glad your ok." She said voice breaking as she tried to force it to work failing miserably. "You must have been terrified. I-i really h-hope they d-didn't hurt you."

Yuri closed her eyes as Thomas called off Ren ad Vul her heart was throbbing knowing how much Hurt Allia must feel.

(You draw really well! _{Newt in that pic kinda reminds me of Rin from Blue Exorcist})

Ashley smiled softly at this girl with a fake smile. "No, they didn't hurt me. They just took my Pokemon, then locked me behind two doors. There were security cameras on me, of course, but I was free to do pretty much whatever I wanted. I grabbed my Pokemon on the way out, too." Ashley said, letting her Pokemon out. Dratini, Happiny, and Popplio.

"Jay, I'm so glad you came." She thanked Jay, bowing her head quickly. "And Gradient... You never told me you were coming to Alola." She said, looking pointedly at the boy. Gradient shrugged.

"The same could be said for you, Ashley." Gradient said cooly. Ashley smiled, Gradient's refreshing calm washing over her.

"Touche." Ashley said, before breaking into giggles when her Dratini curled around Gradient's Eevee. Poor thing, couldn't escape the Dragon Type's grasp.

Ailla turned a full circle. Trying to keep her priorities straight. "So, everyone." She stopped for a second. "...else. Is ok right? Your all out?" She asked to find that yes everyone else was here and unharmed. She went on checking making sure everyone personally was alright. When she got to yuri. She had tried to make conversation with the others but everyone was dead quiet. Maby that was a good thing but the silence gave her time to think and once she started thinking the image of William right before he was Barrie's that couple of seconds when it happened. It just replayed over and over and over nonstop until she had painfully memorized every detailed of his terrified face before he was killed. A small whimper escaping her as she replayed the images in her mid while checking up on yuri.
