[@A Tattooed Girl]

A little farther ahead from their group a boy in his early teens with long white hair was standing up in a tree and looking down on a small hoard of infected people and pokemon that seemed intent on getting him down from there. He glared at them a little before beginning to reach for one of his pokeballs. Unfortunately, he had to return the hand he was reaching with to the trunk of the tree when an infected Mightyena used tackle on the tree, shaking it a little. He frowned knowing that he'd have to get down from there one way or another. He chose another. He looked over the hoard for an opening before facing forward on the branch and preparing to take a leap of faith. He bent his legs, making sure to balance himself using the trunk before jumping over the hoard. His jump fell a bit short of the back of the group of undead, but he got lucky and used a human's head as a platform to perform another jump, breaking its neck and landing in the clear area before taking off running. He let Shadow out of his pokeball as he ran. The Gengar floated alongside him as he sprinted before turning around and seeing the hoard of undead chasing them. The pokemon began sending barrages of Shadow Balls at the hoard as they tried to escape, hoping to hit some and slow them down. It didn't seem like they were losing those guys anytime soon. 

	Up ahead, Tyler saw silhouettes getting closer. They weren't walking strangely like the infected ones back there. He turned towards the hoard and could see they were a distance away, but were still chasing them. "Why?" he asked quietly to himself before coming to a realization and looking at Shadow. Seeing the expression on his trainer's face, the ghost pokemon curled up into a little shadow ball. The infected tended to go after ghost pokemon since they couldn't kill them. It was a pretty smart virus indeed. He returned Shadow and sent out his brother's Juby. The Houndoom glared into the light fog before dashing off towards the hoard. Tyler followed her, not only to help her out but also to keep the infected away from that group back there, whoever they were. Juby began using flamethrower on the hoard, burning the zombies and setting some on fire.
