Axel opened his eyes and found himself inside a vast forest. He could see the plane surrounded by a razing fire crashing down near the sea.

It was at that moment he realized how useful the move 'Teleport' was. If Alakazam was not here, he may have died today. He started to call on his phone but there was no network. Then he reached the crash landing area. The debris of the plane was floating in the sea. He started to look for survivors.

Some of them were heavily injured, some of them were lucky with few scratches and some of them died. Axel didn't know the real number of the people that died but he was shocked to see a dead body for the first time.

He tried to hold the vomit and started to help the passengers and the crew members. Luckily one of the crew members had Bellossom which could heal wounds.

Axel fired up a distress signal in the air. He could tell that they were near a town, so the help would arrive in a few minutes. The razing fire plane could be seen through distance.

However, even after waiting for half an hour, there was no help. 25 people were alive. 10 passengers and 2 crew members had died in the crash. Bellossom had healed the injured but serious injuries were not healed. The pilot, Avron decided to walk to the near town. He seemed to have a map of the surrounding.

"Mr. Axel can I talk to you for a second.", said Avron the pilot, and gestured his hand near a giant tree. He wanted to have a private talk.

Axel nodded his head and followed him.

"It seems only you have an elemental rank Pokemon. Among the crew members, I have 2 rare ranked Pokemons and my co-pilot has one. We are lucky that you came with us", said Avron sighing in relief.

"So, what is the plan Avron?", asked Axel.

"We have waited for 30 minutes but there is no response from the near town. The town is in the west and it is called Burbos. It is around 10km away from us. The town should have responded. We have sent multiple distress signals but there has been no response. So, any suggestions?"

"You are the pilot, you tell me.", said Axel in a frustrated voice. He was already angry due to the situation. The crew was not prepared. If they were taking long flights, a crew member must be an advanced ranked trainer. This was done for safety.

Though the rate of such accidents was very rare, Axel knew that the airport authorities had not done their duties.

"Please don't be angry, we must unite in this situation. I have planned to go to the city with all of us. There are injured passengers but the Pokemons would carry them so it would not be a problem. It is only 10 km away so it may take around 5-6 hours seeing how dense this forest is."

"I also think we should start to move. It is going to get dark in a few hours. I don't want to sleep in the forest tonight.", remarked Axel.

A night in the forest was a scary place. It was an unknown forest for them. They didn't know what kind of Pokemons resides here. It was better to reach the town as soon as possible.

The Pokemons carried the injured and then they started to walk. Axel took out all of his Pokemons except Absol and Tauros. Axel now had 4 elemental ranked Pokemons. Shedinja, Beedrill, Nidorino and Alakazam. Coincidently, only Axel had elemental-ranked Pokemons. The rest, even the passengers only had rare-ranked Pokemons at best. This showed how rare it was to have an elemental-ranked Pokemon.

Not all the passengers were trainers. Some of them were just normal people. Maybe due to luck or due to the aura of 4 elemental ranked Pokemons, there were no wild encounters. Wild encounters would be dangerous in this situation when most of the people were injured.

It was starting to get dark. They had traveled around 7 km and 3 km were still left to reach the town. Axel could have let Alakazam teleport all of these people to some distance which would reduce the time to reach the town but he didn't do it. He wanted to save Alakazam's stamina for emergencies.

It took them 1 more hour to reach the gates of the town. Axel could see the big gate surrounded by huge walls. The interesting thing about the town was that the gate was locked from the inside. Though it was night, the town gate should not be locked.

Axel was starting to have a bad feeling.

The guards open the door and were surprised to see so many people at night.

"Where the hell did all of you come from?", asked the guard in an annoyed tone. It looked like he already had a lot on his plate.

The pilot, Avron went near the guard and told, "Hi, I am Captain Avron, a pilot of XXXXX. We crashed and landed 10 km east from here and also sent a distress signal. We didn't receive any help and decided to reach the town by ourselves."

"Oh, we know about the crash.", said the guard.

"Then why didn't any of you come to help us?", asked Avron with an annoyed tone.

"We don't have time for that. Oh, come inside first. The forest is not safe and I don't want to open the gates for long.", said the guard and immediately led all the people inside.

Axel entered the town and could immediately feel that something was wrong. The town was gloomy and there were very less people outside. Though it was night, it was only 7 p.m.

"What the hell is happening here?", asked Axel.

"You are not authorized to know. Just go down south and book a hotel and hope for a better tomorrow.", said the guard.

Axel then flashed his advanced trainer badge and asked, "Do I have the authority now?"

Being an advanced trainer had a lot of benefits. A guard could not possibly threaten an advanced-rank trainer.

"I am sorry sir. Can you come up to the side, the matter is confidential to tell to others.", said the guard immediately. Axel walked with him a bit far and asked, "So what is happening here?"

"Sir, we are facing a Pokemon tide….
