A/N: Oh. My. God. I'm so sorry I didn't update in a while! Ugh….but school has been so busy lately: preparing for the Regents, finals, and other tests. And I so don't get why teachers have to pile us with homework. Sigh But as soon as school ends, I'll update a lot quicker.

Thanks to all the reviewers. (I'm too lazy to list all of you, but thanks so much for your reviews.)

And, I sent previews to everyone who guessed correctly, right? It's between you, me, and everyone else who guessed correctly: don't spoil the other's fun by saying what the egg will hatch into!

Chapter 9: The Power of Beautifly: Good 'n Bad
Previously:

With a sigh, June began to catch up to Alexis. At least we could rest in Floaroma, she thought, unaware of the sleeping Pokemon in her bookbag with the 'thing'.


Meanwhile…

"Hey, give me the honey back!" a man yelled to the Galactic Grunts in front of him: a girl who had wavy brownish red hair and a boy with dark green hair. They were no other than Peter and Donnie, the grunts that had to 'man the toilets.'

"Not without a fight we won't!"


"Glameow! Let's go!" Donnie called to her blue cat-like Pokemon.

"Zubat! Come on out!"

The man looked at the Pokemon, who stared back at him with evil glints in their eyes. Their masters had just gotten a promotion from cleaning toilets to working as grunts. They weren't about to give up the fight so quickly.

"Glameow!/Zubat!" the grunts called to their Pokemon.

"Glameow, use Dig!"

"Bite!" Peter said, flicking his arm forward.

"Beautifly, Whirlwind, full force!" its trainer commanded, the Pokemon appearing immediately in front of Glameow and Zubat. With its wings, the Butterfly Pokemon whipped up a gale of air, and sent it towards them, flapping its wings repeatedly.

"Glameow!/ Zubat!" the Pokemon cried in alarm as they were blown away to their trainers feet, about to be dragged to another destination by the continuous Whirlwind attack.

"Grr…" Donnie muttered through clenched teeth, shielding her eyes with her hand while her hair blew wildly across her face. "We'll get blown away if this continues: We've gotta go!"

Peter only nodded, and the two of them jumped onto their bike, fighting the wind. Thus, they were relieved when the force of air suddenly stopped.

"Can't you ever do anything right?" Donnie asked, as she and Peter both fell down the bike, noticing that the lock was still locked.

"Seesh, why don't you do it, if you're so smart, Miss. I-know-it-all?" Peter snapped.

"Why, you---"

The boy who had sent out his Beautifly smirked as he watched the two Galactic grunts bicker like little children. Perfect, he thought, looking as his Pokemon, who was busy taking in energy from the sun.


"Ohmygosh, there are sooooooooo many flowers here!" June gushed, running toward the field of flowers, dotted pink, yellow, blue, and white.

Alexis rolled her eyes. "And you said you didn't want to come to Floaroma." The brunette put a hand over her head to shield the sunlight, while she looked east of them, noticing windmills in the distance. This must be the Windworks Factory! She thought, as she stared in awe at the famous building.

As she noticed four blobs it the distance, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the blobs, as they began to become clearer and revealed two people wearing a blue uniform, with huge 'G's stamped over them. Alexis knew those uniforms all too well: they were none other than the ugly uniforms belonging to Galactic grunts. Another blur she couldn't recognize was standing five feet away from the grunts, with a Beautifly hovering near him. Something about him seems familiar… she thought, staring at the Pokemon near him. Something----

"Ah……" June sighed as she sniffed a yellow-orange rose and plucked it out. "Isn't this pretty?" she asked, adjusting the rose in her hair. She waited for an answer, and when she didn't get one, she looked at Alexis, noticing that she was staring at something in the distance. "What's the matter, Lexy?"

"Isn't that David's Beautifly?" the rookie trainer stated, pointing towards a blur of a Pokemon in the distance.

June stopped dead in her tracks and squinted her eyes. "Oh. My. God."

"Come on, we have to get there!" Alexis called, running forward, half-dragging June there.

For Plusle's sake, what the heck is HE doing here??!?!??


"David!"

The boy turned his head as he spotted no other than his former childhood friend and crush, June Smalls.

"Hey, my pretty, what'cha doing here?'

The blonde paid him no attention as she spotted Beautifly, her arch-nemesis' favorite Pokemon and starter. Even though he had a Sinnoh starter, no one would've guessed that he had come from Hoenn. When his mom and dad divorced when he was only two, he moved with his mom to Sinnoh. And ever since, he's always been bugging her.

"What are they doing here?" Donnie asked in the middle of her argument with Peter. She pronounced the word 'they' with utter hate, as if Alexis and June were disgusting, vile creatures.

David raised his eyebrow, maddened by Donnie's words. "No one…" he began to say slowly, "could talk to her (pointing to June) like that…and get away with it."

The Galactic grunts began to back away, scared at what the boy might do. Beautifly, who was glowing very brightly now knew exactly what to do. It focused it's attack on the two grunts to ensure that it would be a direct hit.

"BEAU!!!!" it cried, unleashing a powerful Solarbeam at Donnie and Peter, whose eyes widened as the beam of pure energy shot at them. No matter how much they ran, they couldn't escape the attack.


Somewhere in the sky:

"Watch Cyrus fire us again," Donnie cried in despair as she and Peter, along with their fried bike and two Pokemon, blasted into the sky.

"Or we could always wash the toilets…" Peter said, as they flew off somewhere into the distant space.


"Are you alright?" Alexis asked David, whose hair was a dark mocha brown.

The boy looked her over, before tilting his head slightly. "Sorry to say this, but I've never heard of you. Who are you?"

Alexis, at this, went completely bonkers and was about to sucker-punch him when she realized something. "Too bad I can't hurt 'ya…" she sighed.

"Why? Scared to?" David smirked.

"No!" the brunette cried indignantly, as if the matter was an insult. "It's just that…June likes you, no?"

"Hey!" the blond, who had just been dragged into the conversation, exclaimed. "Excuse me, Alexis Summers, but don't you," she said, winking, "have a little crush on Josh?"

Before she could even say anything, David cut in. "Summers? Then doesn't that make you…"

"Makes me what?" Alexis said suspiciously.

"The famous Cody's sister?!?"

Alexis blinked a few times, as June whirled around to face her friend.

"The Champion Cody?"

Alexis sweat dropped, but just then, June's bookbag began to shake and the 'thing' that was in it jumped out, landing on the blonde's shoulder.

"Plusle! (Hey!)" trilled the Cheering Pokemon, before pouting cutely. "Plusle plus Plusle plus. (You could've opened the bag a little, at least. There is no way I could breath in there with the egg!)"

After it said 'egg' (okay, after the subber translated), Plusle's eyes widened. It scrambled inside the bookbag, as Alexis let out a sigh of relief. Saved by the Plusle. (A/N: Ever heard of saved by the bell? Just this time, Alexis is saved by the Plusle.)

"Plus!" it cried victoriously, as it held up the egg in its hands.

"Beautifly beau?" the Butterfly Pokemon asked curiously, as it's wings touched the creamish-colored egg slightly. The egg wobbled, as Plusle couldn't control it. It fell along with the egg in a VERY slow-motion as June, Alexis, and David watched with widened eyes.


June's Point of View (POV)

How in Sinnoh did that egg get inside my bookbag?!?!! Didn't I refuse to take the egg from Grandpa?


David's POV

When Plusle began to wobble, my eyes widened in recognization. The pink swirls, white dots, and creamish color of the Pokemon egg---that couldn't possibly be the egg I told Prof. Rowan to give June!


Alexis' POV

I stared at the egg, which was about to fall out of Plusle's arms.

"Catch the egg!" I shouted when I put the pieces of the puzzle together and realized that the precious Pokemon egg was about to break if it fell. And believe me, there are no refunds for broken Pokemon eggs.


A/N: Thank goodness that's finally over with. This took forever to write… (especially since I kept on getting writers block)

In order to get the preview for ch.10 (which will be updated on Wednesday if I get enough reviews for this chapter), you need to guess correctly which league Cody won the championship in.

IMPORTANT:

'K, before I forget: If you want to make a guest appearance in the next chapter or so, make up a character and I'll put him/her in. I ran out of names and stuff, so this would be really helpful. If I don't choose your character to be in the next chapter, I might put them in for later.

Just tell me their full name, personality, clothing, and Pokemon (including their starter).
