Escape Time

After freeing everyone from their cells, you relay the information the warden gave you. It's the first time you see their faces. Silver has red hair that barely reaches his shoulders, and like his name, his eyes are silver. Kai has red eyes and his hair is spiky and dark blue-greyish in color. Ray's eyes are golden, and his pupils are almost cat-like, his hair is spiky and black. The back half of his hair is braided into a long ponytail that goes down his back. "Isn't Cinnabar Island where the volcano is? But why is it so cold here?" Ray asks.

"They are probably cooling this place down for their weird experiments." Silver responds.

"That's why we have to get out of here." Kai adds.

"But what about Max, Tyson, and the others? We haven't heard from them for 2 months." Silver agents.

"We can't, we don't have any Pokemon, if we run into someone it's over." You respond.

"I guess you are right." Silver says "Alright let's get going shall we?" The four of you begin to walk down the corridor. You continue to walk for 20 minutes when the corridor splits into 2 paths.
"Alright now, which way should we go?" Kai asks.

"I don't know, the left one leads to the training grounds, I'm not sure if there is an exit, so we will have to go with our gut feeling." You say.

"Alright then let's go that way." Kai responds pointing to the other path. The four of you continue down the path only to come to another intersection. "Now what do we do?" Silver asks.

"We could just keep going straight, I doubt we can get lost here." You respond.

"Alright then it is decided, let's go!" Kai says.

As you continue on you come to another intersection. " Are you fucking kidding me... Now what?" Ray asks.

"I have no idea." You respond.

"How about we just go straight because there is no turning back now." Silver suggests.

"Alright then let's get going." You say and everyone nods in agreement.

After walking for 30 more minutes you reach a dark tunnel. You sprint down the dark tunnel. Your feet echo on the cold concrete floor, and you feel a **** urgency rising within you. The air is thick with the smell of stale smoke and sweat. Silver, Ray, Kai, and you have been running for what feels like forever. You've been trying to escape Team Rocket's hideout for what seems like an eternity. Your heart is pounding in your chest as you dodge around debris and debris-filled corners. Your feet find purchase on the slippery floor as you skid across the slippery surface.

You are in the lead, your long strides carrying you forward faster than the rest of your group. Silver is close behind, his lean, but muscular frame powering through the darkness. Ray is right behind Silver, his agile figure weaving through the darkness, like a panther. The last of your group is Kai, but he is not far behind. You can sense the determination emanating from each of your steps, a determination to get out of this place, and to safety. You have no idea what awaits you outside, but you know that it has to be better than this.

Your feet are in pain, and lactic acid is building up in your legs with every step. But you keep pushing on, driven by pure willpower. The tunnel ahead begins to widen and you can make out the outlines of a door. It's your way out, the exit to this place of terror. You all break into a run and make it to the door in no time.

But it's not a door. It's an elevator. On closer inspection, you find a keypad on the wall at the side of the elevator. You take out the keycard you stole from the warden and swipe it across the keypad. You wait for the elevator to make its way to your floor. The elevator comes to a stop and the doors open. The four of you step inside and you push the button for the ground floor. The doors slide shut and the elevator begins to ascend. You let out a collective sigh of relief as you lean against the wall and rest.

"We made it guys!" You say as a sudden wave of exhaustion is hitting you.

"We still have to get out of here though." Silver says.

Authors Notes: Yo, luckily this is an alternate universe, otherwise, I would have fucked up with Silvers's age. He should be younger than Green, but I guess they are the same age in this timeline/universe.
For some reason, I couldn't make the 2nd "another" italic without adding _ in front and behind, so I made it bold.
I was at a party from Saturday to Sunday and was a bit hungover when I wrote this chapter.
