With that out of the way, let's get to the story!
It was quiet. Too quiet for the thief's liking. Peeking over the windowsill the masked figure let out a low, barely audible whistle, hoping for the all clear response. One similar to his answered back subsequently from inside the large hall.
Sighing with relief he slunk down underneath the sill and waited in the shadows for a stress filled minute. Jolting him out of his trance were the sound of alarm bells. He decides to risk a peek inside to see a Nuzleaf fleeing toward him.
"Alright, let's go before the cops get here!" he shouts as the sound of Mightyena barking tells him that there time was limited before they had to run. He managed to squeeze out a quick question to his companion Pokemon, "Did you get it?" The Pokemon nodded back, already on the run. Tearing down the backstreets of Lilycove city they waste no time talking, for the penalty for capture is unthinkable.
Moments after the thieving duo turn the first corner several Mightyena bound out the window. Shaking in rage, the furious pokemon set off in hot pursuit of the man with the stolen goods.
Upon reaching a dead end he turned and laughed as the pursuers caught up. "Make sure to tell your masters that I got the results I needed," boasted masked thief before turning around and belting out a command, "Reme, use magical leaf!" With that several leaves floated out of the gutter and flew toward the pursuing hounds, knocking them out.
"They put me behind schedule," the teen said with annoyance, "I'll need to be fast to make it back in time."
The Nuzleaf did a quick nod and with that parting comment, thief and pokemon together headed uptown to their destination.
Upon reaching his destination the teen in the mask returned his Nuzleaf and picked the lock on the door. Creaking open slowly as not to disturb anyone who might be inside he craned his head inside for a quick look see.
A quick check showed him that no one else was in the room, all clear. Walking farther into the gallery he did a slow spin and smelled in the welcoming scent of canvas and oil paints.
Done taking in his surroundings the thief walked up to a ordinate painting of two Pokemon, one red fighting on a rocky crag, one blue that swam in a churning ocean, that stretched floor to ceiling in a scene of two superpowers grappling with each other in a battle that neither could win.
Leaning in closer to the painting the teen crossed the rope and was admiring the stormy expression on the groudon's face when he felt a stone cold hand on his shoulder.

"Dan, what are you doing out in the entrance hall do early? If you're not careful a civilian could find us." the voice attached to the hand inquired.
"Uh, good evening principal," the boy named Dan replied shakily, "I was, uh, admiring this, uh, painting in here."
"I see that Dan but why are you up so early? You know that being out of dorms at this hour is punishable by prohibitation, and that would mean you couldn't go to the festival coming to town next week. Our school wouldn't want its top battler missing out on the tournament either." the imposing man said to the nervous student.
Dan turned to protest but the man cut him off, "You're my favorite student Dan and because of that I'm going to let you off the hook just this once, but if I catch you again…" letting the threat hang above Dan's head the principal turned back to his office. "And Dan," he tossed over his shoulder, "not one word of this night time excursion to your classmates, your ego is big enough as it is."
With that the man stalked into his office to continue watch over the night.
(end chapter one)
We meet the main character, witness a theft and evade being captured by the principal. The next chapter will have a battle. I promise.
So what do you think? Feel free to review, post an OC or include a back link to my story from yours if you like it.
A virtual chocolate bunny to the first person to guess in which building the school is located (hint: it is in the gen 3 games)
Easy on the burns, this is my first story.
