**Wassup guys? I am deeply sorry that this is so late, but I'm trying here. I'm pretty confident this will lead to le Climax, so this is gonna be LONG. Again, I'm really sorry for this being late, but hey, there's something.

I PROMISE afterwards the Pikachu X Reader will be updated, and then for a while, I'll focus on the Kid Icarus Cast X Reader(s) book next.

Well, gotta write (or type, or som- I DON'T KNOW!!!)!!! Also, I do NOT own Duskull, Nintendo and Game Freak do.

See ya, Fellow Grasshoppers!!!!! WA-TAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Normal POV**

   The tired, cold, (and one unconscious), Heroes continued through the rain to the supposed "Cave of Opposites", although, the three CONSCIOUS Trainers could have been happier...

    "**sigh** When's Clement gonna wake up?", Bonnie asked, still fretting over the ordeal. "When it's time, which'll be soon, 'kay?", Ash replied tiredly, due to carrying the Blond. 'Yeesh, he seems light, but weighs a ton...', the Ravenette thought to himself.

Serena didn't know what was happening, due to her thinking intensely about the Pikachu-Trainer carrying CLEMENT and not HER.

    'Why Clement?!', she thought, (it pains me to write this next part...) 'He's not a girl! I'm MUCH prettier, even Miette can't touch this!!! This isn't fair! I've known Ash longer, and he remembers me, too, so why am I still single?!?! ARGH!!!!!'

    Unfortunately for the girl, her thoughts affected her actions, and she soon found herself kicking a wet tree stump nearby. The others heard and looked towards her.

    "Serena, you okay?", the Ravenette asked. "OH!!!, I-I'm fine!", the Jealous Trainette replied quickly, "Just kind of upset about this situation! Poor, poor Clement..."

    She really was concerned about the Inventor, but wasn't too happy about the way he was being treated. Ash and Bonnie looked at each other, and shook it off, continuing towards the cave.

**A wee Time-Skippito, brought to you by Duskull**

    After a LOOOOOOOOOOOONG walk, the Crew FINALLY reached their destination! "Phew! Made it...", Ash said, utterly exhausted. He was tempted to just drop the Blond, but knew what Bonnie would do to him...

She's stronger than she looks...

**Ahem** Speaking of said Blond, the Pikachu-Wielder felt him move just a bit. He then suddenly heard a soft groan.

"Ugh... Wha... What happened?"

   The Ravenette quickly set him down on a small rock, right inside of the entrance of the Cave of Opposites as the Inventor began to stir while clutching his head. Bonnie was looking at Clement with tears in her big, Sky-Blue eyes, and so was the Tiny Orange Mouse in her purse.

   "Clement!!!", she yelled excitedly, pouncing on him with a huge embrace. Her loud noise, though, made the Older Sibling's head throb even harder, groaning in pain even more.

    "Ah... H-hey, Bonnie...", he replied weakly, then hissing due to her foot digging into his wounded leg. "Bon, you might wanna let up on your bro a teensy bit...", Ash said softly. "Waah! Sorry!", the Younger whisper-yelled, trying not to make her Elder's headache worse.

    Clement was still wincing due to the pressure on his leg, so he tapped his sister's shoulder to make her aware of the predicament. "Um, Bonnie?", he murmured, in pain because of the intense Brain-Sprain, and his leg, "You mind getting off for a sec, 'cause you're on my leg..."

   Bonnie being the responsive squirt she was, quickly hopped off of her Brother.  "I'm sorry...", the girl murmured. "It's fine, Bon, you didn't know."

    "I hate to be the Spoiler,", Serena suddenly said, everyone's attention now on her, "But we might want to stay away from the entrance of the Cave, and find somewhere in here that prevents us from getting even more doused than we already are."

    The others looked outside, seeing that it was STILL raining Glameows, Skitties, Purrloins, Meowths and Lillipups. "Aight, well, let's get moving!", the Ravenette said, bending down to pick up Clement once again.

   Serena noticed this, and quickly said, "Ash, I think he can walk on his own now, right Clement?"

   The boy looked up to respond to her question, but when he looked up, all he saw was the video up above in her eyes and her aura (NOTE: I do NOT own any anime mentioned in the video or this person's countdown. Thank you.).

   His body suddenly quaked in fear, and he nodded his head quickly, nervous sweat drip-- No-- RUSHING down his face. Serena's rage subdued as soon as she saw this, and (fake) smiled like she was still concerned but was willing to let him do as he wished.

"Well... If you're ABSOLUTELY sure...", Ash said with a touch of sadness. He stretched his arm out to the other male, which said male grabbed.

As he was hoisted off of the rock, the Ravenette, 'lost', his balance, sending the two crashing to the ground.

**Clement's POV**

'That smug, little...', was all I could think when I fell on top of Ash's stomach. 'Well... He's a HOT smug, little... I dunno...', my mind said.

Wait... I'M ON HIS STOMACH?!

Ohmanohmanohmanohman...

GAH, DON'T BLUSH, SELF!!!!! HE'LL KNOW!!!

Don'tdoitdon'tdoitdon'tdoit, nonononononononono...

...

Too late.

He, Bonnie, AND Serena noticed.

I'm a cooked Ducklett...

**Serena's POV**

Wait.

Blushing+Not Getting Up•Ash's arm Brushing against Clement's Arm+Ash's FAKE "Awkward Smile"=

No way.

CLEMENT, YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!!!

**Bonnie's POV**

DAWWWWWW!!!!! CUTE!!!!!

... What?

I'm just supporting him!!!

I so ship this...

**Ash's POV**

That blush suits him...

Man, I wish I didn't hafta compete with Serena...

Although I think she prefers ME over him...

But he COULD be thinking about Abby or Shauna...

No.

HE'S MINE.

BRRRRRRING!!!!!

At that moment, things FINALLY got settled, and Clement got off of Ash. "I-I-I-I'm SOOOO sorry!!!!!", the Blond stammered.

"It's cool, Clem!!!", the Pikachu-Wielder replied. As said Pikachu-Weilder stood up, he grabbed Clement and held said Clement Bridal-Style for the 3RD TIME that day.

"Ash!!! He said he was FINE, remember?", Serena said while gritting her teeth just a tad. "Well you can never be too carefree, right?", the Trainer said calmly.

The Blond was just exhausted from all that happened, so he payed no mind to it. The Tiny Blond just smirked, and so did the Mini Mouse in Her Pocket (Polly Pocket reference).

The Showcase-Trainer huffed, and started to walk inwards to the cave's trenches. Ash chuckled a bit then followed with Clement in his arms once again, followed by Bonnie.

**Another Time-Skip brought to you by Meh**

Purplish-Blue tinted walls were all the Crew could see, with said Crew getting tired with each step. "My... Feet...", Bonnie complained, "Need... Break..."

"We just took one.", the Ravenette replied. Serena was a few steps ahead, grumbling to herself about Ash holding the Inventor again. 'Stupid Clement and his stupid face, glasses, eyes-'

Her angry train-of-thought was broken when she bumped into something. When she looked to see what or whom her body collided with... Oh boy...

It was a Galvantula...

A HORDE of them...

They were screwed.

"Oh, Poké Puffs...", the Trainette muttered.

The Galvantula's leader turned to the others saying:

"Gal-va-van!!! VANTULA!!!", meaning:

"These puny humans will harm our children if we do not act quickly. ATTACK!!!"

The Yellow-Soldiers nodded, sending Zap Cannons, Electro Balls, Thunderbolts, and Electro Webs at the Trainers.

"RUN!!!", Ash yelled. The others didn't hafta be told twice, and so the gang started running, with everyone screaming!!!

"AHHHHH!!!!!"

'Up, down, right, left, jump, dodge, drift, sprint, dodge', was all that Ash, Serena, and Bonnie could think about, while Clement thought, 'We are gonna die' on repeat, and the Galvantula thinking:

'Kill, Kill, KIll, KILL!!!!!'

The Gang was getting a feeling something was gonna happen, and they were right.

THIS HAPPENED:

1. Some Galvantula decided it would be fun to fire an Electro Ball at the ceiling,

2. In turn, sending SPIKES down in front of Ash & Clement,

3. Then in the heat of the moment, grab them,

4. Drag them off against their will while they struggled to break free,

5. Have a Galvantula Pal fire a Zap Cannon at the brittle floor,

6. Which made said brittle floor shatter into tiny pieces,

7. Throw the two into the pit that was made,

8. Cover said pit with boulders bound together with Electro Webs,

9. Presume the two dead,

10. And walk off to enjoy dinner with the family.

All that could be heard now were screams from Serena and Bonnie and Pikachu and Dedenne yelling:

"ASH!!! CLEMENT!!!!!"

And the screams from the two boys as they fell deeper and deeper into the abyss...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**PHEW!!! That... Was long... Man, what a turn of events, am I right?

And how about those Galvantula, huh? Momma's Little Demons!!!!!

>:{3 ⬅️ Mah Evil Mustache!!!

**Ahem**

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!!! I can't update too much, but I'll see what I can do!!!

What'll happen with the two boys?

And on that note, the rest of the story will focus on Ash and Clement.

I'll focus on the others after things clear up, so don't you worry about Bonnie, Pikachu, Serena, & Dedenne!!!!!

Also... I KINDA sorta backed up mah phone into the computer, and deleted all my photos from said phone afterwards...

And I took screenshots of the questions from Tags... So...

Yeah~...

Those will take a while...

I am TERRIBLY sorry about you guys not being able to see me suffer, but hey.

You'll see meh suffer eventually, just not now.

Welp, gotta go!!!
