"Ahhhh!" Treecko and I yelled as loud as we can, eradicating peace in the forest, our echoes were dispersed into thin air. "Treecko, Tailow! We are Pokemon Masters, all of us! We are going to get to Dewford Island Gym and beat the gym leader! Now! This is the time!" We were seen on an edge of a boulder.

"Days and nights, we've been training for getting gym badges! AND WE WILL MAKE IT!" I yelled louder.

"And how are we going to get to Dewford Gym? We don't have any water types or a boat." May wrecked my mojo as I fell.

I awkwardly laughed. "Don't worry May, there will be a solution!" I pointed to the city. "We can find someone who owns a boat, or catch a Pokemon."

She rolled her eyes. "Because it's so easy."

"Well, lets get outta here, and go back into the city." I marched my way out of the forest.

"Ugh, Hilbert! We're always walking." She groaned.

"Quit bein' such a wuss!" I marched faster with glee.

We got into the city and we heard loud speakers.

"Attention." That familiar voice rung into my ears. No..it can't be. My eyes widened. "Hilbert, is every thing alright?" May looked concerned.

I shook my head and pointed at the speaker who set up a large stage right in the middle of the plaza. "It's that man I saw earlier! That's how I lost my bike and met you!" She looked shocked.

It was Ghestis. But..why was he wearing a red cape..

"Why are they dressed in Team Aqua and Team Magma attire?" May gritted her teeth.

"Team who?" I looked confused.

"Never mind that, let's see what he has to say. Here take these sunglasses." May reached into her yellow backpack. I think she wants us to blend in.

"Thank you all for coming. I know you all might wonder why we are wearing the evil and villainous Team Aqua and Team Magma attire. We now are about to represent destruction trainers and these evil organizations are doing to Pokemon. However, I don't want to be a spoiler. Tonight will be a formal event banquet on my speech I have to say. Please come, it is very important." Ghestis announced.

Everyone was mumbling around the crowds. "Ah yes, it will be in Rustboro Hall. No ticket needed. That's all." Ghestis said as the Team Aqua and Magma "grunts" walked down the stage.

"A formal event.." May crossed her arms.

"We have to go." I slammed my fist into my hand.

"Yeah, but we don't have anything formal to wear." May acknowledged. "Wait! I'll buy us clothes!" May gathered up her money.

"Right, you do that, and I'll make a phone call." I nodded.

She nodded and we parted ways.

"He's back?" Hilda gasped with astonishment.

I nodded uncomfortably.

"What the heck is Ghestis doing in Hoenn?!" She whispered loudly.

I shrugged. "I don't know. But this doesn't seem like it's just to enjoy the scenery."

She leaned back against her chair. "Huh, and after all that we've done including Nate and Rosa."

I nodded again. "So what are you going to do? You can't just let him do this again." Hilda reminded me.

"That's what I need to tell you too. Ghestis is hosting a speech tonight at Rustboro City Hall. And if we know him any better, you and I know what he's trying to pull." I explained.

"Right. Do you guys need our help? Red and I ca-"

"No it's okay. May and I can handle it ourselves." I said.

Even though deep down I don't think we can, and May might end up tripping and ruining everything because she's such a clutz. That's when flashbacks appear of how many times she fell, trip, accidentally hit me, or spilt something.

"Alright. Sounds good." Hilda nodded.

"Okay then..I'll tell you later tonight what happens." I was getting ready to hang up.

"Hilbert?" She softly called my name.

"Uh-yeah, Hilda?" I answered back.

"Stay safe.." She sighed.

I gave her a thumbs up and winked. "You can count on me!"

"Haha, bye." Hilda's sweet smile ended the phone call.

"I'm back!" May sing songed inside. "Here, change into this." She threw a tuxedo at me. I'm not for dressing up, but what can we do.

We both went in the changing room, and spoke as we were changing.

"Listen May, don't goof anything up." I faced her.

She bent down to put her dress on. "Why would you say that?"

"Uh..no reason." I slipped on my pants.

She moved her hair out of her dress.

"No worries, everything will be just fine."

I finished and adjusted my tie. "I hope so."

We came out of the changing area.

"Well, how do I look?" She twirled around in her dress. She wore a solid black cutout back dress (A/N Jeez, if you really wanna know! Search it up! If ya really wanna buy it, it's only 22.80$ at forever 21~) I just laughed. "You look fine, I don't see why you needed to spend money on jewlery too, but hey, what do I know?" I rolled my eyes.

As we were on our way May kept tripping on her high heels. "May if you can't walk in them, I really suggest you wear your sneakers instead." I said.

"What are you crazy?!" She yelled into my face.

"Jeez, sorry.."

I bent my arm,brought it out to her and she took hold of it. We walked into the hall. I kept a close eye.

"So here we are." I stared into space.

"I wonder where Ghestis is.." May also searched.

Ghestis came up on stage.

"As you may know, I invited you all down here." Ghestis announced, and everyone started clapping. We did the same. But we didn't admire him. I muttered under my breath.

"Pokemon are being treated like weapons in the Hoenn region." He said.

The people gasped.

"Your Pokemon shouldn't be under your arm. Trainers use them as a weapon, Coordinators treat them as a little prize. But do you all really appreciate them?" He yelled.

I could see May was looking uneasy as her eyes began to slightly water. "May don't listen to them. He tried doing the same back in Unova. He's just trying to trick you!" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

She nodded. She agrees, so, good. "Do you think the Pokemon are really happy being shoved inside those balls you carry. Don't you think they deserve to be free? Aren't they happier that way?" Ghestis raised his voice.

Mumbling was being heard, mumbles of agreement. "I see the majority of you agree. If so, tomorrow please return at Rustboro's gym to release your Pokemon! Enjoy the rest of your night here, closes at one am. I'll still be here for questions." He left the stage as fancy music was playing.

Everyone started dancing. "What to we do?" May sighed. "Just dance, we need to get close to him with out looking suspicious." I placed my hands on her hips as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Uh..Hilbert?" She asked me while I payed close attention to Ghestis. "Not now.." I stared at him. He seemed to be holding a Pokeball. I have no idea what it is in it though.

"I can't dance." She said. She then kinda stumbled. "Just follow my foot movements." I said. May nodded." I slid my hand onto her lower back , held her hand and bent down. I moved my head up and saw Ghestis whispering to other people.

"C'mon." I quickly elevated her back. "Ah! Hilbert!" I quickly danced my way to Ghestis. I then made it to him, and casually danced with May again. "Are you crazy?!" She whispered.

"Latios is here with me, I just need Latias.." Ghestis whispered. "Who?" I said. I saw them walk into a lab like room. "May were going in there!" I yelled. We tiptoed in, and hid behind the shelves. I couldn't see anything though. Maybe May could carry me up so I can see. Or I have to do it the other way around.

"May get onto my shoulders." I instructed. "What why?"

"Just do it."

"What do you see?" I strained. Boy she's heavy. "He's putting a Pokeball into some..chamber thing.." She leaned in. "We'll have him secure this in here for now." Ghestis commanded.

"Secure?" I whispered. She then accidentally kicked me very hard. "Ooomf!" I collapsed. "Waaah!" She fell.

"Who goes there!" Ghestis knocked down to reveal an almost unconscious me with a May on the top.

"Well, well, well It looks like we have some guests.." Ghestis smiled at me. "Hilbert, I see you followed me to Hoenn." He cackled.

"What are you doing with those Pokemon!" May yelled.

"Ah, and you've brought your girlfriend too."

"Girlfriend?!" May and I yelled in unison.

"I see you've seen a sneak peak of my plan. But that's all you'll see." He sneered.

"Why are you doing this again!?" I growled.

"Because I'm fighting for what's right!" Ghestis roared.

"How is that right?!" I yelled.

"Enough, I don't have time for these kids game. Grunts. Take care of these two." Ghestis took the Pokeball and ran away.

"What do we do?" May shivered.

"We battle em'." I nodded.

"How about a double battle." The grunts snickered.

"Double battle it is. Treecko!" I threw out the Pokeball.

"I still don't-uh, Torchic!" She threw him out.

"Seviper!" One threw out.

"Corphish!" The other announced.

"Treecko, use bullet seed on Corphish!" I commanded.

"Torchic uh..use..ember on Seviper!" May nodded.

Torchic and Treecko ran together and attacked.

"Seviper, posion sting!"

"Corphish, bubble beam!"

"Treecko, pound!" I yelled.

Corphish and Seviper began to look drowzy.

"Now Torchic, Scratch em up!" May pointed.

Great, we got Seviper and Corphish unable to move.

Me and May said in a unison.

"Treecko, Finish it off with bullet seed!"

"Torchic, finish it off with ember attack!"

And then the two Pokemon were hit and then slide to the floor. They were knocked down.

"Alright!" We both exchanged a hi five.

The two grunts ran away.

"May, we gotta get outta here." I said as we left. We were nearly panting as we fell to the ground. Back in the forest.

"Aw, nuts my dress has a little rip in it!" May sighed.

"May, that battle was awesome! See, you can battle!" I stared into the stars.

"I guess so, that was pretty scary though." She was grasping for air. All that running though. "So tomorrow we'll train eve-" I saw that she had already fallen asleep. I laughed to myself and placed my jacket on her.

I then thought to myself about this...Latios and Latias..what is Ghestis going to do with these Pokemon? What is he going to do about the trainers tomorrow?
