Getting some practice...

Rikki got in as the car drove away. ashley stood on a rock (hidden from team genesis' view) and looked at the car,her eyes hidden "Rikki....i wondered why you've been distant all this time...." Rikki was talking to her boss on her pokegear and didn't notice her

Red sighed being hauled away by the J.I.S

Tala could feel Ashley near by and hoped she didn't see them or more importantly wasn't seen.

As the car stopped at the academy Red was one of the first to get out

Tala soon got out, she felt a bit split between trying to talk to Red and going to get Ashley. "Instinct go talk to Red, Ashley might be in trouble!" she said dashing into the forest. Instinct gave a nod and walked over to Red.

ashley then appeared in front of the academy as the car drove away

"Ashley! You're okay!" Tala said giving her a hug.

ashley hugged her back.shaking on the verge of tears

"i don't wanna talk about it....just drop it..." she said walking on. she turned to the both of them and managed to break a smile "i'll see you two later,yeah?"

Red felt woozy and heard a voice in his head it was a voice he knew too well "A-A-AMEL--Red fainted before he couldfinish the name

"TALA! Get some help!" Instinct called. "Uh, what do I do? Red are you alright?" Tala called running over, Ashley was already inside and couldn't hear them. "This isn't good, Red? Red?"

Red got up quickly "They got her" Red started running back to the volcano "Amelie im coming to save you!!"

"Come on Instinct, we can't leave him to go alone it's too dangerous!" Tala said as she and her pokemon followed Red.

ashley turned back and ran with them "wait up! i'm coming with you!"

The got to the volcano team genesis were at the very top and red could feel his sister presence "AMELIE!!!"

Tala gave a worried look "Her aura is nar by, and it's very strong which isn't a good thing, not in the way I feel it!" Tala said.

Red started climbing upwards in anger

Tala and Instinct soon followed hoping everything was alright.

Red climbed to the middle as they kept laughing at him

in another area:
Chris came to a barred window and turned on his headset "sargeant, i found it! should we continue with the operation?" after being given the green light, he used a file to open the bars and slinked in with his machine gun "let's just hope i'm not caught..." he thought to himself.

back with us:
ashley sensed another familiar presence and followed Red

'We better be careful if we aren't then we might as well walk in with: muppets to be captured: written on our foreheads!' Tala thought as she climbed, Instinct gave a nod in agreement.

Red hid under a set of machinary followed by the others

Tala sent Instinct to get a closer look at things, the Absol his behind things and in the shadows as she investigated the area.
