A Grave Mistake
Jenna had stayed behind that counter for too long. She saw frequent beams from flashlights and heard the men chatting. Whoever they were must have been here recently, and there was a chance they'd find her hiding. Who knew why they were here? Jenna...
Outside of Heat
Ray and Crystal had just returned home from the cafeteria on the north end of town. It wasn't open, but many pre-made sandwiches and PokéChow were left outside of it. "Full?" "Spi." Crystal was satisfied. She had eaten outside the moment they got...
Beyond the Walls
Two hours before midnight, Jenna was in the same getup she wore when heading to Oreburgh. She couldn't sit idle while her brother was dying. She was desperate and didn't know what to do-- how she'd aid, but she _had_ to find something to make...
Good News, Kind of
Ray and Crystal had been tested multiple times throughout the night, which didn't allow them to get much sleep, but they complied as they didn't want to lessen their chances of being able to stay. It was now morning, Ray assumed. At least that's how...
Jenna's Dilemma
Jenna sat on the living room couch and held her face in her palms. Tonight wasn't successful. She was stressed for multiple reasons and had no idea what to do about any of it. She lived a mile east from the western wall and had a modest...

Ray woke up to a noise he couldn't comprehend as it was what ripped him from his sleep. He couldn't get a full night's rest nowadays. It was dark, so Ray had only gotten a few hours in. He heard it again, more pronounced; it was a groan that...
Dousing the Heat
Ray had been lying in bed with Crystal for hours, and over that period, black clouds overhead restricted the sunlight. It would rain soon, which was foreshadowed by the occasional peal of thunder. He was on his side by the wall with his head against...
After Death
"Crystal... Crystal, wake up!" She heard a muffled voice and opened her eyes to see Ray sitting over her. His expression was one of horror. Crystal forced herself to wake up and rolled onto her stomach. Sunlight was present, but she was unsure of how...
Temptation
Ray had searched multiple buildings with Crystal before nightfall; among them were all four floors of the Team Galactic structure. Ray felt nervous the entire time they were inside, not only because it was once one of the infamous Team Galactic's...

"Ughn!" Ray was woken abruptly by a dull and blunt pain in his stomach. He sat up quickly and saw a figure standing over the bed while looking down at him with a rifle. They wore a tan outfit, but Ray couldn't make out their face. It was a blur....
