Chapter 2

Maya and Ash boarded the Charizard express to Maya's house, as she needed to pick up a few things. After putting Charizard in it's Poke ball, Maya introduced Ash to her mum.

"Hey Ash, this is my mum."

"Nice to meet you Mrs Jackson."

"It's great to meet you Ash," Mrs Jackson replied.

At a glance, Mrs Jackson knew that her daughter had been in a fight or rescued someone. Maya's once pink t-shirt was now dusty, her shorts were covered in string shot and her brand-new blue flats had a large splodge of mud and a nasty scuff on them.

"Well, come in Ash, I need to get a few things." Maya said.

Ash was let into Maya's room. Surprisingly it was very neat, with merely a group of shopping bags.

"Hey Maya, are you going to school here?" Ash asked.

"Yes, I'm going to local school here, at Pallet High."

"Hey that's the school me and May go to! And Max goes to the Primary!"

"That's cool, at least I'll already a few more people there! If you're wondering what's in the bags, it's all my school books." Said Maya, sheepishly.

"What do you mean you'll already know a few more people there?"

"Some of my other friends are going to go there too."

"Wow, school doesn't start for another two weeks, you must be really keen for school! I haven't even got my books," said Ash shocked.

"Yeah, I like school, but there's another reason why I go to school. But I'm afraid I can't tell you yet."

"Oh why not, I can keep secrets!"

"It's not a matter of keeping secrets. Conversation closed." Maya stated.

Ash knew not to say anything and there was an awkward silence as Maya collected her stuff. In a satchel, she packed a warm jacket, some provisions and some files in a plastic case.

"Ash, do you know anyone called N?"

"Yep, he's a weird boy with a weird name. Everyone never talks to him. A girl called White blushes whenever she see's him."

"Anything else about N or White?"

"White has a friend called Videl."

"Ok, come on, let's go."

Ash and Maya headed down the stairs. Mrs Jackson was busy in the kitchen. Maya went to go talk to her.

"Mum, I'm going to go drop Ash off, then I'll be, um, well you know." Maya whispered.

"Ok dear, be back at midnight," said Mrs Jackson.

"Speaking of which where is Kayla?"

"She went to bed after you went shopping. She wanted to wait up for you but the poor dear fell asleep."

"Ok, I'll try to be back at midnight."

"Bye Ash, bye Millie."

Through this whole conversation, Ash was silent, only to say a goodbye to Mrs Jackson.

Since Ash's house, was so close, they walked. As they walked, Ash was curious. He knew this girl was hiding something, but had no idea what. 'Don't be silly, Ash, she's not going to tell me anything. I barely just met her.' Ash's thoughts went on, until he was interrupted by a scream and a tug on his arm.

"ASH!"

"Huh, what?"

"You walked straight onto the road! You could have gotten killed!"

"Sorry Maya," said Ash sheepishly, "Moving on, who's Kayla?"

Maya smiled at the thought of her name. "Kayla, or Mikayla is my little sister who is 9 years old."

"How old are you?"

"12, turning 13 on the 5th of April. How old are you?"

"I'm turning thirteen in October. You know when you whispered to your mum," Maya nodded, "I could hear you. What did you mean?"

"Um well, I can't really talk about it, " said Maya, "But let's say I had something shocking to do, and I didn't really want you to hear." Maya blushed.

"Ok, I understand."

Their conversation closed as they walked further on.

"Maya, this is my Pikachu, you know, the one I got for my 10th birthday."

"It's nice to meet you Pikachu. I see you've already meet Pika."

"Pika! Chaaaaa!" Pikachu cooed as Maya stroked it.

Pikachu jumped from Maya's arms onto Ash's hat, where he remained for the rest of the walk. Ash as turned the key in the lock, Mrs Ketchum walked to the door to greet her son.

"Ash, where have you been? And what's happened to your clothes?" said Mrs Ketchum, firing questions at Ash.

Ash's blue jeans and sweatshirt, his black top were all a dusty grey. His hat and raven-black hair had little wisps of string shot in them.

"Er, um, Maya, some help please?"

"My name is Maya. I was walking by and I heard screams coming from a alleyway. When I got there, I found Ash, and May, whom you probably know tied up with string shot."

"Oh, Maya I can not thank you enough for rescuing my son and May! If there's anything I can do, please just ask."

"I was more than happy to help, and it was no trouble at all."

"Ok, goodbye, Maya!" said Mrs Ketchum.

"Bye Maya!"

With a wave, Maya almost melted into the darkness, and was gone in merrily a few seconds. What she was about to do was something she'd only just thought of now. Saving a girl that she just met from possible danger. Her other plan, which she thought of a long time ago, was just as unbelievable. Maya knew she could trust Ash; it was just what trusting him was about. Maya knew no other almost-thirteen-year-old girl would even dream of doing this.

Meanwhile in a small cottage, with only two rooms, stood three figures. Two were tall, and there other was short.

They were poring over a notebook, which had all their ideas to capture May:

Pitfall trap, i.e. dig a pitfall, place a net in the bottom.

Catch her when she's alone with a net.

Lure her to us, e.g. food, clothing etc., etc., etc.

Pretend to be a lonely couple with a sick baby (Meowth). Get her to help us.

"Ok, guys, we have four ideas. All of them are good, so we should vote for it. James, bring all your Pokemon out," ordered Jessie.

Out from Jessie's five Poke Balls came a Wobbuffet, Seviper, Yanmega, Woobat and a Frilllish. From James' five came a Mime Jr., Carnivine, Cacnea, Yamask and an Amoonguss.

"Ok guys," Meowth said to the Pokemon, "We are trying to catch da twerpette, and we have four ideas. The classic pitfall trap," one hand went up. "Ok, one for pitfall. We could catch her wid da net." no hands went up. "None for the net. Next, luring her to us." Jessie and James' hand shot up. So did all the Pokemon but one. "Ok luring her that is."

Little did they know, a girl with a Pikachu on her shoulder, wearing a dusty pink top, a pair of shorts with strands of string shot clinging to them and a pair of blue flats with a splodge of mud and a scuff in the toe was watching them.
