The next morning... "Cranidos... Cranidos... time to get up." Cranidos opens his eyes and notices Mawile on top of him. Cranidos gasps, "W-what are you doing in here? You know this is the male dorms." Mawile nods, "I couldn't stay away from you, so I climbed up the wall and opened the window and got in here. Luckily your bed is against that window. I could get the perfect spot to stalk you."

Cranidos gasped again, "You stalked me?! Is that why you were outside earlier?" Mawile nods, "You looked so adorable when you were sleeping." Cranidos looks around and notice the other two still asleep, this is how Cranidos knew that Zorua wasn't tricking him and in fact Mawile actually broke in here. "Please don't wake them up, it's still too early to go to school yet and I want you all to myself for a little while."

Cranidos checked the time, 6:45... school starts at 7:30. Mawile opens the window slowly and before she climbed back down, she opens her jaws towards Cranidos, "Get in. I'll take you down safely." Yeah... safe enough inside giant jaws with razor sharp teeth of your girlfriend that could rip you to shreds if you aren't careful. Cranidos nods and goes in. Mawile closes them back up and climbed down. She always enjoyed the taste of Cranidos whenever he goes in her jaws, if she could, she would lick him like a lollipop but she doesn't know if Cranidos would liked that.

They head back down and Mawile continues to walk forward. Cranidos thought that she will let him out once they climbed back down, "Where are we going Mawile?" Mawile smiles and hums a tune leaving Cranidos in suspence, "Where we going?!" Mawile sighs at Cranidos, "Be patient!" A curious Pokémon looks at her weirdly, Mawile pretends to act natural and waves at him and smile. This Pokémon was a Meowth and he started to go up to Mawile and say hello.

"Err... hello." The curious Meowth says to Mawile. Mawile smiles at him and says, "Hello to you, too! What are you doing up this early?" Meowth replies, "I could ask you the same question." Mawile then spits out Cranidos, "I was taking my boyfriend somewhere special but you came in and ruined it."

Meowth hadn't notice the jaws on her head until she spat him out and was freaked out, "I... err..." Cranidos gets up and says to Meowth, "Are you going to make fun of my girlfriend?" Meowth shakes his head nervously, "I haven't seen a Pokémon like her before." Mawile holds out her hand, "I'm Mawile! Nice to meet you!" Meowth grabs her hand and shakes it, "I'm Meowth!"

Meowth looks down at Mawile's megastone and says, "What's that?" Mawile looks at where Meowth was pointing and says, "Oh! That's my megastone! With this, I can mega evolve and become very powerful." This Meowth is a very curious Pokemon and started to play with her jaws.

Cranidos warns him, "I wouldn't go near those if I were you." Meowth stops and pulls his paws away. Mawile laughs, "He's only joking. Of course if you come across me by surprise then I would chomp on you." Meowth looks through his books and searches for different Pokemon, "Mawile, deciever Pokemon. Don't let their cute face fool you. When you least expect it, it will chomp on you with their steel jaws."

Meowth gets a worried face upon finishing reading the discription. Cranidos crosses his arms, "I guess he didn't look your kind up yet." Mawile nods, "It is true that our kind decieve others in lower their guard and then we bite them down but I'm very friendly." Meowth then says, "You won't lower my guard!" Mawile giggles by Meowth's sudden defensive pose, "I won't hurt you! You haven't done anything to me!"

Meowth nods, "Ok... I guess I should get ready for class then. I'll see you later then." Meowth runs off very fast. Mawile turns to Cranidos, "That was odd... he's such a strange Meowth." Cranidos points at Mawile, "Your megastone necklace is gone!" Mawile suddenly looks down and sees it missing and says, "That Meowth stole it! I knew he came to me for a reason!"

Cranidos, "Let's find him and..." The bell rang for class, they hurried to get their stuff and get dressed and head on to class. Chatot comes in and prepares the class, "Alright! Today we'll be talking about rescue teams!" This got Cranidos and Mawile's attention as they are in a rescue team. "Rescue teams are very important in the Pokémon community as they help stranded Pokémon and keep the balance in check."

As he continues to do his lecture Mawile and Cranidos talk about the Meowth that stole Mawile's megastone. "So, what do you think that Meowth wants with my megastone? And should we punish him?" Cranidos thinks for a moment and replies, "Well... we can't just punish him right away and give him an opportunity to explain himself if he had a reason to steal it in the first place."

Croconaw seems to have a right to join in on the conversation, "What are you guys talking about?" Mawile gets a bit annoyed with him, "It's none of your business! Can you please leave us to discuss things on our own?" Chatot notices the chattering, "Hey! Please pay attention! This could help you whenever you decide you are going to start on a rescue team?"

This got Cranidos to raise his claw, "What if you already have a rescue team?" Chatot then answers his question with a polite tone, "Then you could kindly inform the others who don't." Cranidos decided to step up and tells the others about his rescue team, Destiny. Told everyone about his adventures with Mawile and how they defeated couple legendaries along the way and met new friends that helped them. The class couldn't help but listen to his adventures and Mawile gazes at Cranidos and listens and daydreams the past adventures they had together and embrace the good times they had together.

Chatot is impressed by what he told the class, "Very good, Cranidos. If you are well organized as a team, then why do you have a reason to go to school?" Cranidos tells the others, "So I can get stronger and learn more." The Pokémon claps for him and surprisingly Croconaw, too. The others are inspired by Cranidos dedication to be the very best... like no one ever was.

After that class ended they continued to search for the Meowth who stole the megastone from Mawile for no specific reason. Croconaw meets up with them and says, "That stuff you said Cranidos... it was very good stuff and I hope to achieve more." This was really sincere coming from Croconaw, Blade joined up with them and wanted to say things as well, "Yes. I'm also inspired by your adventures. Tell me... are they true?"

Cranidos nods, "All of it, and I couldn't have done it without friends helping me along the way and want to learn more to become a powerful Pokémon, to protect other that might get into trouble." Croconaw nods, "Then why did you tag along, Mawile? This is an honest question, by the way." Mawile smiles sarcastically, "Well... if you must know, I'm here to support him and besides, what he says is true that he can't do it alone."

Blade gets so hyped up, "Wow! Cranidos gets alot of support from his friends and girlfriend, I want to do my best, too." Cranidos smiles, "Well! Maybe we all should stick together and help one another to achieve our goals." They all bring in their arms in except for Croconaw who was unsure if he wants to do this, Mawile faces him and says, "Well... are you going to join in or are you too cool for this?"

Croconaw looks at her and scoffs, "I bet you losers can't do this without me!" He puts in his arm in, too. Soon after another Pokémon puts in his arm and was Sableye, "Friends..." Herocross and his sister, Carrie also joined in, so did Zorua. Cranidos tells everyone, "Ok! Together... we'll graduate with style and honor!" Mawile nods, "3...2...1... Let's always do our best!" The others joined her in unison and brings their arm out and cheered.

Chatot sees this and says, "The most amount of team spirit I ever seen at once." Mawile then gets her focus back to main thing in hand... getting her megastone back. She motions Cranidos to go search for it and they say goodbye to everyone and went off.

Meowth is still running on all fours to get the most amount of speed ahead from anyone. He has the megastone necklace in his mouth and rushes it to a secluded location, "I brought the megastone you asked for... can you please let my friend go?" A Houndoom comes out from the shadows, "This Pikachu? First... bring me the megastone." Meowth was reluctant to give it to Houndoom but hold out his paw and presented him with it.

Houndoom recognises it, "It's the Omnite! Which can mega evolve any Pokémon capable of doing so! And it's all mine! Take back this worthless Pikachu!" He pushes Pikachu to Meowth and swipes the megastone and Meowth and Pikachu runs off. Houndoom stares at it with power hungry eyes, "Finally... it's mine!" "Yoink!" A unknown voice says as it swipes the megastone from Houndoom's paws.

Houndoom roars, "Nooooo! You dared did that?! Show yourself!" It was a cloaked figure, "Sorry but this thing is not yours! See ya!" He runs off. Houndoom gets really pissed off and spews fire every which direction.

Meowth and Pikachu runs off and notice Mawile and Cranidos, "Oh, crap! It's them!" Pikachu's ears twitches, "Who's them"! Meowth points to Mawile and Cranidos, "It's the guys I swiped the megastone from!"

Cranidos looks at a direction, "I see them!" Mawile looks at the sames direction as Cranidos, "Me too! Come out, filthy cat!" Meowth comes out, "Hey..." Mawile grabs Meowth with he jaws, "Now I got where I want you! Give me back my megastone or else!" He doesn't have it anymore!" The Pikachu comes out, "He gave it to Houndoom in return for my safety."

Mawile notices the heart shaped tail on Pikachu, it's a female Pikachu. "Please don't hurt him!" Mawile drops Meowth, "No... I'll hurt Houndoom!" "That won't be necessary!" They all turned to where the voice was coming from and it was the cloaked figure. "I took it from him before he used it for evil!"

Mawile looks at him curiously, "Who are you?" He uncloaked himself, "Just an average Piplup!" All the Pokemon gasped. Mawile walks to the Piplup, "This was mine. Can I have it back, please? Piplup shakes his head, "This thing is too dangerous! I must destroy it!"

Mawile feels saddens by this, "No! I won't let you!" Mawile strikes Piplup but Piplup dodges it without a problem. "Sorry! This thing is too much for anyone. This isn't just a megastone! It's the megastone! As in it could mega evolve any Pokémon able to Mega evolve." Mawile understands, "Oh. Does that mean Houndoom is a Pokemon able to Mega evolve?"

Piplup nods, "He will use it to bring harm to others. I will not allow it!" Cranidos tells Piplup right away, "How are you so fast that you could dodge Mawile's attacks?" Piplup replies, "That's none of your concern. I'm doing this for your own good! And if I can find a Mawlite I'll bring it to you right away."

Mawile shakes her head, "I don't want a replacement, I want that one! It's very special to me as Cranidos gave it to me as a gift." Cranidos explains, "Actually... we just stole it from Psyduck and I just gave it to you." Mawile hugs Cranidos, "That's even better!"

She stops and looks at Piplup, "And it's been with me ever since and it holds a special place in my heart. I can't part with it!" Piplup is conflicted by this, "Err..." Mawile's eyes glitters, "Please..." Piplup closes his eyes and shakes his head and resists, "I can't! I just can't!" Piplup runs off with the Megastone.

Mawile feels deeply saddened by this, "No..." She tears up. Cranidos tries to comfort her, "I know... I'll get you a new one." Mawile cries even more, "I don't want a new one! I want that one! It has all the memories of us in that!" Cranidos sighs, "Guess we got to catch him!"

Meowth slams his paws together, "You can count on us! We'll help you get it back!" Pikachu nods, "We can do it!" She sparks up her cheeks. Mawile feels a bit better, "Thank you."

Piplup runs as far away from them as possible, "Pant... pant... I finally lost them! I need to get out of this place and fast!" He runs as much as he can before stopping at a town. Which is conveniently Pokeport, where Mawile and Cranidos come from.

Piplup runs so fast that he tripped and dropped the megastone out of his flippers, His eyes were white circles when he watched it bounce. It finally bounces on the ground and Audino comes by.

Audino's stomach started to rumble, "So hungry... have been working all day at the healing center." She notices the megastone. "Oooh... is this a berry!" She picks it up and is about to eat it.

Piplup frantically runs for her shouting, "Nooo!" But as soon as he got there, she already ate it." Piplup stops at a screeching halt and lays on the ground. Audino notices him, "What's wrong?" Piplup says, "That wasn't a berry." Audino gasped, "Oh! What was it?"

Piplup explains it to her, "It is an Omnite. which can mega evolve any Pokémon able to mega evolve. And you ate it." Audino says, "I'm so sorry... I was just so hungry and it looked so tasty." Piplup gives her a fake smile, "That's ok. It wasn't your fault. You didn't know. Now because of me. Houndoom is coming and he'll be searching for you now. And he isn't nice!"

Audino replies, "Well... everybody likes me so why would he be mean to me?" Piplup explains, "He'll do what it takes to get it, even gut out a Pokémon." Audino gasped in horror, "Scary!" Piplup nods, "That's why I must beg of you! Please spit it out!"

Audino nod, "Of course, deary!" Piplup salutes, "Thank you, miss!" Audino frowns then after, "However... I would if I could. But I'm just too hungry to throw it up."

Piplup lowers his flipper. "Ok.. so what should I do?" Audino, "Two options. One... you could charge into my belly until I cough it up." Piplup wondered, "Ok... and what's the second option?" Audino finishes, "Second option... you go inside me in retrieve it."

Piplup's eyes widened, "Err... no. I'll go with charging at your gut." Audino rubs her belly, "Ok. Just don't be too rough, ok?" Piplup nods and charges at her, when his head collided with her belly, he bounces right off. "Did that do anything?" Piplup asked.

Audino shakes her head, "Nope. Guess my tummy is too bouncy." Piplup sighs, "Guess I'm going with plan B." Audino nods, "Ok. Promise you won't tell anyone." Piplup nods his head, "Understood, ma'am."

Audino smiles, "Thank you, sweety. It'll ruin me if anyone found out." Piplup nodded and curled up into a ball, "Imagine I'm a big juicy berry that you'll want to eat whole."

Audino nods, "I can see it." Audino walks up to Piplup and picks him up and opens her mouth wide and gobbles him up.

Piplup screams as he falls down in her stomach, "Phew! Ah... there it is!" He picks it up! "Ok... you can let me out now." Audino replies, "Hmm? Oh... right." After a moment Piplup says, "Anytime now..."

Audino frowns again, "I can't." Piplup facepalms, "That's ok. I'll figure something out." After a bit, Piplup has an idea, "Hydro pump!" He starts spraying water and fills up Audino.

Audino's stomach started to rumble, "Ooh... feeling all sloshy inside... Bleeeehhh!" She thew up Piplup, the megastone and a whole bunch of water.

Audino started to turn pale, "I don't feel so good." Piplup bows his head to Audino, "Thank you and I'm sorry for what I did."

Audino smiles, "That's alright, deary. You go on ahead now." Piplup waves goodbye and runs off. Audino stomach rumbles again, "So... hungry..." Piplup runs back to the academy after he realized something... anywhere is safe from Houndoom.

Piplup searches desperately for Cranidos and Mawile... after a while, They found him. Mawile shouts at him, "There you are! Give me my megastone and nobody gets hurt!" Piplup sighs, "You know that you are putting yourself in a lot of danger, right?"

Mawile nods and shouts, "Screw danger! I can handle that Houndoom all on my own!" Piplup faces Mawile, "I'm only trying to protect you all from danger." Piplup walks to her, "But if you say you can handle it..." Piplup hands Mawile her Megastone, "Then I respect your judgement."

Mawile looks at it, "Why is it all wet?" Piplup stutters a bit, "Err... went swimming. I'm a water type." Mawile nods, "Ok." She puts it on. Piplup sighs again, "I'm sorry, Mawile. I just don't want you to get hurt for what I did.

Mawile smiles at Piplup, "Thank you! But I can handle Houndoom. I got my friends looking after me and of course my boyfriend, Cranidos! "That's right!" Cranidos boldly exclaimed.

Piplup laughed, "I'm glad!" "Well, well, well... looks like I found my megastone." The mysterious voice comes out and it was Houndoom! "Time to defeat you worthless Pokémon!"

Will they defeat Houndoom? And will Audino get something to eat? Find out next time!
