"Snivy? What's wrong? Are you sick?" Mei asked. Snivy made no reply as her body began to grow taller. The glow suddenly intensified and Mei had to look away for a moment.

Finally the light around Snivy subsided, revealing a pokemon that Mei had no idea what it was. The top of its head reached her thighs, a bit taller than Snivy. It had a green and vanilla colored body, with two bored looking red eyes, just like Snivy. Its legs were tiny, and Mei wondered how the thing could stand on them. It resembled Snivy, but it wasn't her.

Mei circled around it, looking for where Snivy was. She made one full trip around the pokemon and gasped. Snivy was gone.

"Did she give birth to this thing and… die?" Mei said out loud, trying to blink back the tears that were forming in her eyes.

"Serrvv…." the pokemon muttered and shook her head disdainfully.

The guitarist advanced towards her, twirling her black ponytail with her hand. "Your Snivy, like, evolved."

Mei furrowed her eyebrows together and wiped her eyes with her hand. "Evolved?"

"Like, yeah. Like, do you even know what that is?"

"No?"

The guitarist rolled her eyes." Like, you don't know what evolution is? Oh my gosh, how are you, like, even a trainer? Like okay, I'll tell you. Evolution is like, when pokemon change their like, forms, and become even like, stronger."

Mei widened her eyes and stared down at the grass type Pokemon beside her." So this thing is Snivy?" she asked, pointing down at the pokemon.

"Like, yeah. Gosh, you're like, so dumb about like, pokemon stuff."

That's another person who told me a similar thing... The brunette shook her head and sniffled." I was so scared that Snivy had died!" She scooped up her pokemon in her arms and rubbed her cheek against her head." You're a lot heavier now, but you're still Snivy! Let's go see Christoph now!" With that said she came down from the stage and made her way through the crowd, ignoring all the stares she was getting. She skipped out the door, happily holding the evolved Pokemon in her arms.


The grass snake squeezed herself out of Mei's arms and plopped down onto the ground, walking beside her trainer.

"So Snivy-"

"Servine."

Mei's eyebrows rose."What's a Servine?"

The grass snake thumped her arms against her chest. "Servine!"

"Huh? Your name is Servine? So Snivy wasn't your real name?!"

Servine shook her head and sighed. " Serrr. Serrvine. Serrv!"

"How does that work? When pokemon evolve their name changes?"

Servine nodded her head.

"So you want me to call you Servine?" The Pokemon nodded again.

Mei stayed quiet for a moment before brightening up her face with a smile. "How about if I give you a nickname? Dumdum and Fluffy have one, so why don't I give you one as well? That way if you evolve again, I wouldn't have to get adjusted to your new name!"

The grass-type pokemon widened her eyes. Dumdum. Fluffy? Would she get a name as stupid as those? Not wanting to take such a grave chance, she shook her head vigorously.

Mei pouted." Aw…okay…"


"Sniv- I mean Servine! Just past here is where I'm going to meet Christoph!" Mei squealed, bouncing up at down as she pointed towards the gateway connecting Virbank and Pokestar Studios. Servine yawned and pointed at Mei's bag, where her Pokeball was.

"Oh fine Sni- Servine," Mei replied and recalled the newly evolved pokemon. The brunette giggled and skipped into the gate, immediately bumping into a blonde girl in front of her. The blonde shot her a glare before turning back around. The gate was crowded with girls that were trying to get through the doorway.

Mei managed to squeeze past the girls and out the door, before being led to the back of a huge crowd by a security guard. She cringed at the amount of screaming girls around her and clasped her hands over her ears. This was like Roxie's Gym, except at least a thousand times louder. She could barely even hear herself think!

All Mei could see were the back of the heads of the girls there. She stood on her tippy toes to see above the heads. For a moment, she saw a glimpse of green hair, before she was shoved back by some rude and crazy fangirls.

This…SUCKS. All these girls are between me and Christoph! Mei thought to herself angrily. This is a once in a life-time chance! I can't miss seeing him in real life! Mei clapped her hands together and charged through the crowd, diving under arms, pushing past other girls, until she reached the front. Her hair had become mangled from the battlefield, but she didn't care. She grasped the red rope in front of her and jumped up and down to see past the line of security guards shielding Christoph from the fangirls. For the split second she managed to be above their heads, she saw nothing on the road.

Christoph was already gone.

Someone blew a whistle, and the guards in front of the crowd split apart. A chorus of disappointed voices came from the crowd, as they shoved past Mei to leave Pokestars Studio. Soon the guards left after the girls, and Mei stood by herself.

"I couldn't see him…" she whispered. "I missed my chance to see him because of those girls!" Mei stomped her foot and frowned down at the ground. A star as famous as him would have a lot of fangirls. Stupid fangirls...

"Mei! I finally found you!" Hugh yelled and ran up to her. "You need to come with me quickly."

The girl looked at the blue haired boy and sniffled."Hugh… I missed my chance to see Christoph…"

Hugh's face darkened at the sound of the star's name and sighed. "He has a lot of fans, so it's no wonder you didn't get too. Anyways, you need to come with me! I found Roxie outside, so I challenged her to a gym battle. I won and right after that, we saw Team Plasma. Roxie is holding them off right now, but we need to get there quickly."

Mei grabbed Hugh's arm before he could whirl around and leave. "Team Plasma? The heroes?" she asked.

Hugh stared at her like she'd grown another head. "Heroes? Why the heck are you calling those turds heroes?"

The brunette opened her mouth to talk, but closed it again. If I tell him about the little demon and that Purrlion, he probably won't believe me. "It's a long story," she said at last.

"Huh. Let's go then!" Hugh said and held her hand tighter. Before the girl could protest, he spun around and began sprinting, yanking her from her spot. Hugh let go of her hand, and Mei tried her best to keep up with his pace, occasionally cringing from the pieces of gum she was stepping on.

Mei's body just wouldn't let her keep up with her friend. He was drifting farther away from her now. "H-Hugh…" she called out in between pants. She slowed to a stop and leaned against a nearby building. " G-Go without me. I'll catch up eventually when I regain enough energy and scrape some gum off my shoes.

Mei could see the blue-haired boy sigh from the distance. Hugh jogged back over to her and bent down, making the girl face his back.

"Hugh? What are you doing?"

"I'll piggyback you. You're probably gonna take a long time, and we need you to fight the three idiots," he muttered and pulled at the collar of his jacket to cool his suddenly warm body. He felt Mei scramble onto his back almost immediately and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, nearly choking him. Hugh gagged and managed to cough out, "too….tight!"

"Oops! Sorry!" Her arms loosened around his neck. Hugh carefully placed his hands around Mei's legs to support them, and felt his face flare up. He began walking; occasionally hopping up to get a better grip of Mei. The girl was heavier then she looked.

"Hey Hugh, are you really sure about giving me a piggyback ride?"

"Shouldn't you ask that before you got on my back? Besides, I'm not doing it for you.

Mei laughed and paused a moment before saying," Sorry. It's just I got really excited about getting a piggyback ride. The last one I got was from my dad before he went away. But thanks for letting me ride your back!"

"I d-didn't do it for you, okay?" Hugh took note of the quiet and more mature tone in her voice. It didn't sound at all like the airheaded Mei he always known. "Hey… Not that I care or anything, but you okay?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Still a little bummed about not seeing Christoph though." Hugh scowled; that wasn't what he was asking about!

"Do you think I'm bad at being a pokemon trainer, Hugh?" she asked suddenly.

Hugh raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at the girl from the corner of his eye. "What makes you say that?"

"A couple of people have been telling me that…"

The boy hopped slightly to lift the girl up again." I haven't had a battle with you yet because of that certain pokemon, but you can't be that bad."

Mei let out a heavy sigh." A lot of people have been telling me that I'm really bad with the basics of pokemon. Maybe I should just go back home and go on a journey later, after I watch some shows and learn more about the basics of battling."

"NO!" Hugh shouted, and cursed at himself mentally when he realized he had shouted that just a bit too quickly and loudly. "I-I mean, you shouldn't do that. You'd be letting down your pokemon and… m-me. And you don't know much about battles since you stayed home all the time …" Hugh's voice trailed off, as he felt a strange kind of anger fill inside him.

Mei smiled before frowning." That's true, but that doesn't change the fact about how I hardly know anything about pokemon…"

"You don't know a lot about battling because you spent years at home, watching that...sissy boy instead of learning about pokemon with me!" Hugh spat out.

" Christoph is not a sissy boy!" Mei replid defensively, her inner fangirl coming out."He is a multi-talented, beautiful, wonderful, handsome-"

"Alright I GET it!"Hugh yelled, lowering himself to the point where Mei's feet touched and let go of the girl. He pried her hands off around his neck and trudged forward, shoving his hands in his pockets.

Mei stood stunned for a moment, with her mouth gaping like a Magikarp. She recovered and speed walked towards her childhood friend. Once she was beside him, she latched onto to his jackets so she could keep up. "Hugh? What's wrong?"

Hugh glanced at her and whipped his head the other way." Nothing," he muttered.

"Ah… I see… It's that time of month for you, isn't it?" Mei joked and grinned widely.

"W-what?"


They finally came upon Roxie swinging her black guitar case at three strangely dressed people in the front of the docks. They wore the same gray morph suits, a black vest over their chest, a beret, and mask as the guy Mei had found in Flocessy Ranch. Mei widened her eyes. They were from Team Plasma and wore the strange-looking ninja costume that the stupid ninja had worn!

"Looks like Roxie still managed to hold them off," Hugh said, lowering himself down so Mei could get off. Once Mei was on the ground, he stood up and stretched his arms. "Time to teach those turdheads a lesson for stealing my sister's Purrloin! You ready Hermit?"

"Uh…" Mei was at a contradiction here. She could either help Hugh and Roxie and teach Team Plasma a lesson for dressing up as stupid ninjas, or do nothing and secretly thank Team Plasma for stealing the little demon's Purrloin. They had after all, saved her from a lifetime of scratches and bites from the little demon's Purrloin.

Hugh raised an eyebrow at her. "Mei? Are you seriously thinking about whether or not to battle them? They're pokemon thieves!"

The girl widened her blue eyes. She did NOT know that. "They're Pokemon thieves?! Why would anyone steal pokemon? I mean, they're everywhere!"

"I don't know, ask them! Now come on!" Hugh urged, and the two ran over to where Roxie and the three grunts were.

"You two sure took your time," Roxie hissed, once the two young trainers were beside her.

"Shut up…" Hugh said and glared at the three orange-haired people in front of him. If looks could kill, they would have been a bloody mess on the ground by now.

Upon closer observation, Mei realized each of them had blue eyes and orange hair styled the same way (except for the girl, who had a bob cut). "T-They all look the same!" she blurted.

"Gah! It is you!" the Team Plasma grunt in front of Mei exclaimed, staring at her with eyes the size of saucers. "That's the girl at Flocessy Ranch who stopped our plans, threw a town map at me, and insulted Team Plasma!"

The brunette pointed at the man with her mouth wide open." You're the stupid ninja!"

"Would you STOP calling me that?!"

"Shush you two! Let me answer her question of why we all look the same. I like hearing myself talk," the man in the middle said and cleared his throat. "It's the rule our seven sages made! Each member now must wear a mask over the lower part of their face and dye their hair orange, so we can hide our true identities!"

The female grunt closest to the ocean nudged the man in the arm." Leroy…Should you be saying some of Team Plasma's secrets like that? And these kids look strong…" she said, motioning her head at Hugh and his glare.

"It's Mr. Jenkins to you! Have some respect for the leader of this mission. And don't worry; a couple of kids are no match for the new and improved Team Plasma! We'll just steal their Pokemon and make a quick get away!"

Hugh scoffed at Leroy. "Let's see you try that Plasma trash! You're about to feel my rage for that time when you guys stole my sister's Purrloin!"

And I thank you doing so. Mei added in her head.

"You're about to feel my rage? That sounded so stupid!" Roxie said in between snickers. Hugh glowered at her and tossed out a Pokeball.

A chubby pig-like pokemon came out, wearing a goofy grin on his face. He stood on two stubby legs and raised his arms into the air, as if showing off his non-existent muscle. He had a black marking across his red body, with two golden pieces of fur swirling out to form something that looked like a wrestler's outfit on T.V ( Mei sometimes would stumble upon that channel back at home, and had nightmares about hairy men in tight clothes.)

"Ooo! What is that?" Mei asked.

"Pignite! Tepig evolved into a Pignite earlier."

"Snivy evolved too! I probably shouldn't show you her though." Hugh nodded his head in agreement.

"Alright enough chatter! Time to battle!" Roxie shouted, and sent out her Koffing. The grunts called out their pokemon as well, with 'stupid ninja' throwing out a Patrat.

"Okay stupid ninja! Here comes… FLUFFY!" A Mareep popped out of his Pokeball and bleated as he landed on the ground.

"Don't call me that!" the man screeched. " Go Patrat! Teach that girl and Mareep a lesson for insulting me and Team Plasma!"

"Patatatat!" the Patrat cried as it trotted towards Fluffy on all fours once it landed on the ground. Electricity sparked in Fluffy's wool, before suddenly shooting out with a sizzle in the air. The Thundershock hit the Patrat, making it cry out in pain and plopping down onto the ground, its fur smoking. Fluffy charged towards the fallen Pokemon and rammed his body into it, making it tumble backwards on the ground.

"Oh no!" the stupid ninja yelled, running up to his pokemon. He frowned and returned it into its Pokeball, and shot a glare at Mei and her pokemon. "This was a little guy I just caught a couple minutes ago! You could have gone easier!"

Mei smirked down at the man. "Stupid ninja…you didn't need to battle then. You also lost because you committed a felony fashion with that stupid ninja outfit! "

The man twitched his eye and got up slowly. "WOULD YOU STOP CALLING ME STUPID NINJA?!" he blasted, finally losing it. "For the last time, this glorious outfit is our UNIFORM! You need to be SEVERLY punished for saying such INSULTS to me and my team!"

"Calm down stupid ninja…" Mei said quietly. This man was very quick to anger.

"GRAHHH!" the grunt screamed and threw off his beret. He gave his hat a kick, which just made it flop up a couple inches and fall back down. He scowled and picked up the dirtied hat and placed it back on his head.

"Tch… we lost…" Leroy muttered, reaching out his hands and grabbing the two other grunts that had just finished losing. They clustered together in a group, whispering into each other ear.

" Heh. What a bunch of weaklings!" Hugh exclaimed, smirking at the trio in front of them and recalling his Pignite. "They didn't even stand a chance!"

"Go to our final plan! RUN AWAY!" Leroy screamed, barging through the young trainers with the other two grunts following closely behind him.

"Oh no they don't! Help me catch those guys!" Roxie yelled, swinging the strap of her guitar case on her back and sprinting off. Hugh nodded and ran after her.

A-ah. There's no way I can catch up to them… but I need to try and help them at least… Mei thought to herself as she stood on the dock. But there's that show I seen on television that my mom told me not to watch because it made some offending jokes. She tightened her lip into a thin line as she tried to remember that joke.

Suddenly, parts of it came back to her and she quickly cupped her hands around her mouth and screamed at the top of her lungs," YO MAMA IS…" Mei's voice trailed off as her mind drew a blank to what came next.

The people that were running ahead abruptly stopped and turned around to give the brunette an odd look. Leroy stormed a couple feet backwards. "What did you just say about my mother?" he demanded, glaring daggers at the girl.

"Fluffy! Shoot a Thunder Wave at that man!" Mei commanded and widened her eyes at her pokemon as he sent a weak electric shock towards the grunt, making him yell out and fall to the ground. Fluffy now had pink skin, partly covered with white wool. He stood on his hind legs and bleated, "Flaffy", at his trainer.

Mei smiled." You must have evolved when I wasn't looking! And you're a Flaffy now? It sounds just like your name!"

"Oh no, Leroy!" the stupid ninja yelled, running over to the paralyzed man along with the female grunt.

"Now that I think about it, if we ran over that way, we wouldn't have been able to escape anyways," the orange-haired lady said as she helped the stupid ninja lift Leroy into the air.

"You're right!" the man replied and sent one last glare at Mei before running over to the edge of the boardwalk. The two held the paralyzed man tightly over them and jumped into the ocean with a splash.

Roxie and Hugh ran over to where Mei was and they scanned over the ocean. No sign of the Team Plasma popping up from the water.

"The heck? They just jumped into the ocean carrying a man?" Roxie muttered, scratched the back of her head.

"D-Did they just commit suicide? I drove the poor man into committing suicide by calling him stupid ninja…" Mei breathed, guilt completely washing over her.

Hugh got on his knees and peered carefully into the water. He sighed as he looked at the two girls."I bet they're in a submarine or cowards."

"I hope they drown," Roxie said, scowling. She walked over to the house nearby them and knocked on the door." Pops! You can come out now. Team Plasma is gone."

"T-they are?" The door creaked open and the man Mei had seen earlier walked out. He wore a white cap and nice looking black navy suit. "Well hello there!" he said, smiling widely. "Thanks to you, my daughter and I were…able to talk it out better."

"You're still a coward for making someone else tell it to me for you…" Roxie muttered, making her father's smile turn into a forced one.

"A-Anyways, I'll take you and your friend there to Castelia City. I was a sailor before I tried to become a movie star, but I'm becoming a sailor again." Roxie's father said, pointing towards a boat floating in the water next to the building he came from. It was a medium sized boat painted partly green, with a wooden deck.

Hugh smiled." That'd be great! We'll be able to battle the third Gym there and crush more Team Plasma grunts!"

"There's a gym there?!" Mei exclaimed, widening her eyes.

The man nodded. "Castelia City is full of things! It's one of the top ten places to visit in the world according to this magazine. I'll take you right now, if you'd like." He glanced up at the darkening sky and said," We should get there by at least sunrise."

"Alright then. I'll head back to the Gym. See ya!" Roxie said, and turned around, walking back to said place.


"It's good to back where I belong." Roxie's father said as he walked inside the room with the material to drive the boat. He flicked on the power, immediately bringing light all over the boat. The two teens were up on the deck, and his job was to bring them to Castelia. He grab a hold of the wheel, and smiled at how right it felt in his hands.

A hand tapped on his shoulders. "Do you need anything- "he said before taking a good look at the person in front of him. He stumbled backwards as he gawked up at the person. "W-what are you doing on this boat?"


GEN 6 NEWS CAME OUT, BUT IT'S ON THE 3DS. T.T( I have a DSi)

As always, please review!~ I really appreciate them :D
