In the valleys of Eclo Canyon, laid the hideout of the hated Orre crime gang, Team Snagem. Inside the walls of the hideout the many members of the gang went on doing their daily activities. However inside one of the rooms was the boss of Team Snagem who had called many of the top members of the group for a meeting.

"What!? take out, Wes!?" One of the members nearly shouted in a state of shock.

The leader of Team Snagem simply nodded his head.

"He's become too much of a threat to our organization." He said very calmly yet angrily.

"But Gonzap, he's our top snagger, half the Pokemon we've stolen is because of him, not to mention he's been nothing but loyal to the group, what makes you think he's a threat?" Another member questioned.

"Because he's going soft on us!" Gonzap snapped "I know when a member begins to go soft, the last few captures we've done he's held back at taking the trainers Pokemon, and Wes has never been one to hold back. I've also been watching him eye the snag machine for the past few days as well as the Pokemon we've captured. I don't know whats running through that head of his but I will not allow him to ruin what we have been planning for so long with the Pokemon we've captured. That's why we're going to take him out before he starts to cause trouble."

Before anyone could react one of the Snagem grunts bursts into the room.

"B-Boss!" He said trying to catch his breath "The P-Pokemon, Th-They're gone!"

"What!?" Everyone shouted.

KABOOM!

A huge explosion suddenly shook the entire hideout leaving everyone in shock and trying to get their feet.

"What the hell was that!?" Gonzap shouted as he bolted out of the room.

At the section of the hideout that had exploded, a young man with sandy desert hair and wearing a blue trench coat with goggles above his forehead, entered the wrecked area of the hideout and looked at a small machine while grinning at it. He then took the machine and placed it on his arm. Suddenly a door beside him slammed open and revealed Gonzap as well as several other grunts.

"Wes what do you think your doing!?" Gonzap shouted in absolute rage.

"I'm putting an end to this!" Wes said as he showed Gonzap the machine attached to his arm.

He's got the snag machine, get him!" Gonzap snapped to his henchmen behind him.

Several members dove for Wes and tried to tackle him but the young trainer was able to nimbly dodge them he then noticed Gonzap charging towards him with a raised fist. He swung madly at his jaw but was was able to move to the side just in time before quickly turning around and running as fast as he could to the section of the wall he had just destroyed. There he saw a small black Pokemon waiting for him.

"Let's get out of here, Umbreon!" Wes shouted to the small Pokemon.

Umbreon followed his master and ran alongside him as Wes heard the shouting and swearing of the guards as well as Gonzap coming from behind him. He then saw a light coming up at the end of a long hallway that led to the outside entrance of the hideout. Once he was outside he ran towards his motorcycle that had a side with an Espeon inside waiting for them. Umbreon jumped into the seat beside Espeon and Wes quickly drove away leaving Team Snagem in the dust.

"I got a present for ya, Gonzap." He said with a wicked little smile on his face.

He then pushed a small button on a remote he had in his hand, and from behind him he could hear major explosion leveling most of Team Snagem's hideout. Wes nodded in satisfaction before he looked as his Espeon and Umbreon and then driving off.

Gonzap and his cohorts coughed and gagged as the smoke and dust cleared before they looked up and saw their their now former member leave into the distance. The leader of Team Snagem looked back at the destroyed hideout and was absolutely beside himself. Everything his group had been planning and working towards for who knows how long was just destroyed in a matter of minutes.

"ARRRRRGH! WES YOU TRAITOR!"Gonzap shouted in an out of control rage "I SWEAR TO ARCEUS THIS ISN'T OVER! YOU HEAR ME!? YOU ARE GONNA PAY FOR THIS! WE WILL FIND YOU AND WHEN WE DO I SWEAR THAT I WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE WHEN WE KILL YOU!"

As Wes drove through the hot open desert he looked down at his two Pokemon.

"We'll have to lay low for a while," He said to them before turning his eyes back onto the road in front of him. "There's no doubt that I'm on Team Snagem's hit list and Gonzap will want my head to serve to the Houndoom's."

Wes looked back at his Pokemon for a moment. Even though Espeon and Umbreon were generally brave, he could see a small amount of fear in their eyes.

"Don't worry you two, we'll be okay, let's look on the bright side of things now, we can finally start living our own life, and without any guilt because I freed all of the Pokemon that Team Snagem had captured."

The two Pokemon looked at their trainer for a moment and decided to trust his words. Espeon then laid down and rested herself against Umbreon who was already laying down. Wes smiled at the two Pokemon before continuing to look down at the road in front of him. The three then rode on in silence as they traveled further away from their old life.
