Well well well... I am so stupid... My only excuse for not posting in a long freaking time is because I thought I had posted Chapter 11 a long time ago... but when I cam to post Chapter 12 I noticed it only had up to 10! So I decided to just combine the two into one mega chapter to make sure the entire thing made it online. Anyways, I apologize for the long wait and I'll try to get Chapter 12 out soon!


Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any locations that exist in the actual game. However I DO own the characters Austin Keeler, Kimi Lashings, and any non-canon characters mentioned in this story.

Sinnoh Adventure of Love

Chapter 11

The group swiftly ran back to Austin's house. Austin ran through the house while the rest of the group stood outside. Michael walked around a corner and Austin had to spin out of the way so as not to crash into him.

"Woah there little bro! What's got you in such a hurry?"
"Michael! Do you have your pokemon?"
"Of course I do, but what's wrong? Is something happening?"
"Gardevoir was kidnapped and I need your help to get her back!"

That was all Michael needed to hear as he swiftly walked out of the house to see who else Austin had called for assistance. John merely rolled his eyes when he came out of the house. Michael chuckled at the gesture and walked over to where Kimi was standing.

"Kimi my darling, it's been far too long since I last saw you!"
"It's nice to see you too Michael."
Austin and John simply ignored his brother's comment as Austin started walking towards the house of his final friend. They walked up to her house; a two story house coated in a violet shade of paint. It stood out among the normal beige and green colored homes that surrounded it. Austin swiftly knocked on the door; he hoped that she was home. The door swung open and he was relieved to receive a hug from the blue haired girl. She wore her usual black vest and pink skirt along with her trademark cap.

"Hey guys! What brings you to my house?"
"Hey Dawn, we need your help with something."
"What is it Austin?"
"Well, my pokemon was kidnapped by Team Rocket and we need you to help us get her back."
"Sure thing Austin! I could never say no to you!"

Kimi's face turned pink with jealousy. She turned around to hide her face from the rest of the pack. Dawn and Kimi always had a little rivalry for Austin's affection when they still lived in Twinleaf Town. Dawn however needed to stay with her mother for another year to help her prepare the house for when she would move. Obviously, the move never happened. Dawn's mother decided she couldn't stand to leave Twinleaf Town; But Dawn figured it was just an excuse to get her to stay. She didn't mind though as she knew Austin would visit her every once and a while. Austin figured it was best to not tell her what had gone down while they were out.

After all of the details were out of the way, Austin led the group down Route 1 and they soon found themselves in front of the police station in the next town. Before the group could even enter the building the Professor was seen leaving and almost bumped into Austin.

"Professor! What did Officer Jenny say?"
"She told me that the force is already assembling and they'll be ready to move out in a few minutes."
"Thanks Professor, did you tell her that I'm coming?"
"Yes, but she wanted you all to talk with her before you go."
"Okay, thanks again Professor."

The Professor waved as the group ran past him into the station. Once inside they dashed past the front desk and entered a doorway at the end if a small hall that read "Garage/Armory" above the entrance. Inside was a small group of armor-clad policemen; each carrying a belt of four Ultra Balls across their chests. Austin walked past them to an office marked with the word "Jenny". Austin quickly but lightly knocked on the door and was surprised to see it swing open immediately. Jenny stood in the doorway with her usual police uniform with its extremely short skirt that Austin couldn't help to look up on any normal occasion little did he know that Jenny always noticed when he wasn't careful but just laughed it off as a simple urge of a young man.

She swiftly walked to her desk and motioned for him to sit. As expected her office was clean and organized save for a towering stack of past crime reports. Austin quickly sat in a simple cushioned chair as he waited for her to speak. She crossed her legs in her seat and began to question him.

"So, the Professor told me you and your friends want to come with us to Team Rocket's base."
"Yes ma'am, as I'm sure you are aware of; Team Rocket has kidnapped a friend of mine."
"Yes I am aware, I just need you clarify the details of your Pokemon. To start, are there any features to her in particular that we should look out for?"
"Well, the main thing that sets her apart from other Gardevoir is her gown, it only goes past her knees instead of all the way down to her feet. But she can also communicate through telepathy. She will probably call me or any of the officers."
"Hmm that will certainly help us when we are looking for her. But just so you know, rescuing your Gardevoir is our secondary objective. Our main concern is capturing as many members of Team Rocket as possible and securing the facility."
"I understand, we will try to help as much as we can."
"It's appreciated, but you should worry about your Pokemon first and us second; we can handle our own."
"Okay, so where is the hideout?"
"Just outside the city limits. They've never been very good at choosing places to hide."
"I see... How do you plan to enter the complex?"
"Well, the building appears to only have two entrances; a main door at the North end of the building and a large loading dock on the East side. We plan to split the force into two groups and have one team attack the main entrance while the other half waits to sneak in from the side. If Team Rocket does what we expect then we should be able to surround the bulk of the group, I think your best chance of finding your pokemon will be with the second group. Once we secure the loading deck you can separate from the group and start searching. We don't know the layout of the complex so you'll all be using communicators in case you get lost. Once you find your pokemon you should head back to the loading bay for extraction."
"Okay, I'll go tell my friends what's going on and we'll be ready to leave in a few minutes."
"Okay, see you then."

Austin swiftly exited the office and explained the plan to everybody. John's eyes lit up once he heard about the breaching of the loading bay. He played way too many shooters when he was younger and large battles always got him excited. Kimi seemed a little worried while Dawn simply clenched her fist to show her excitement. Michael simply walked off towards the SUV's they would use to get to the base. An officer walked up to the others and offered to give them extra pokemon as backup so Dawn and Kimi each took a growlithe just to be safe. Austin declined as he figured his Pokemon were strong enough to stand their ground against Team Rocket as long as they didn't surround him again. Once everybody was outfitted with basic attire they quickly entered the SUV and rode off towards the hideout...

They had only just left the station before the make-shift convoy had come with in view of the medium-sized hideout. The sides ofthe building were slanted and the roof was covered in grass and small trees to make a small attempt at camouflage. Not windows could be seen except for at the front entrance; cameras could be seen on every corner. Austin was so amazed at the structure that he almost fell out of his seat as the black vehicle made a sharp right turn, followed by a second SUV. Once the two transports rounded the corner, everybody's jaws dropped; save for the officers driving. A group of five enormous losing door were seen on the side of the building and were hidden from view by being slightly underground. The drivers parked both SUVs behind a group of trees and the group quietly snuck around a corner that was out of view of the workers. The squad leaders switched on their communicators.

"Alpha and Omega squads reporting in, we are ready and waiting for you to proceed."
"Roger that, proceeding with door breach."
After a few seconds a loud explosion could be heard ringing throughout the base. The squad leaders signaled to wait while the loading bay was cleared out of guards. After a few more seconds they all called out one pokemon each as they creeped in through a side door by the nearest loading bay. Fortunately there were only a few guards left and they were knocked out quickly by a hypnosis from one of the officers' Kadabras. Austin led his friends the opposite direction of the explosion to begin searching. The hideout was much larger than what it appeared as over half the base seemed to be underground.

"We should split up into pairs so we can cover a larger area. If you find Gardevoir head back to the cars and wait for the rest of us."
"I call Austin!" Dawn chirped and grabbed Austin's arm while sticking her to cue out at Kimi. Kimi turned slightly red instantly.
"Thats fine, we'll take the hallway to the right. Everyone else pair up and take separate directions, let's go!"

Austin and Dawn swiftly turned the corner and disappeared out of view. The pair kept close to the wall in case there were any guards still in the area. Austin's Glaceon stayed right in front of him; listening for anything that could help them find Gardevoir.
(Gardevoir, if you can hear me try to send a message!)
He tried to hear anything in his mind that could help but he received no message. It was likely that they found a way to block psychic powers. Otherwise she would probably raise hell every minute thy left her alone.
"I hope she's alright..."
"Don't worry Austin, I'm sure she's a tough pokemon if you raised her."
Dawn gave him a smile and winked cutely. Austin smiled a little and hugged her lightly.
"Thanks, we should start checking the rooms now."
They quietly opened a door and crept into the dark room. Once it was apparent no one was here Austin fumbled around until he hit a light switch. The room was instantly engulfed in the white light. When their eyes adjusted Austin let out an irritated sigh as the room turned out to be a giant room of cubicles. Team Rocket seemed to have a pretty good business going...

"We should get going, looks like nobody is here."

The two walked out of the room while turning off the lights to avoid suspicion and snuck further down the hallway until they reached some stairs that headed deeper into the depths of the base. Just as they reached the next floor Dawn heard a distant cry down a large hallway.

"Austin! I hear somebody shouting!"

Austin instantly started sprinting down the hall; leaving Dawn to catch up to him later. As she was trying to reach the door he was standing in front of; two men in red uniforms stepped in front of her from behind two metal beams. Austin started to run back to her but Dawn shook her head.
"Don't worry about me! I'll handle these thugs, so you go get your pokemon!"
"I'll come back as soon as I can Dawn so be careful!"

He turned back to the door and threw it open to find Gardevoir in a classic interrogation room. Nothing could be seen except for Gardevoir strapped in a simple wooden chair. Before Austin could do anything to help her a man walked into the lone circle of light and stood between them. It only took a minute to realize who the man was.

"Well well, you've certainly caused a much larger ruckus then I had anticipated. But this is where you fall. Regardless of what happens to this base YOU will not be leaving it!"
"That's what you think! I'm taking back Gardevoir and EVERYONE is leaving with us!"
"What a foolish thought. Let's cut the chit chat and finish this! Go Mime Jr.!"

James threw out his pokeball and out came a white flash of light that then took the shape of the small creature. Once the light disappeared a Mime Jr. Became visible. This one looked different however as it seemed a little more serious than others of it's kind. It still seemed happy to be with James nonetheless.

"Fine then, go Vulpix!"

Austin threw out his own pokeball and the red fox appears out of its own flash of white. Vulpix looked around quickly and walked in front of Austin to get ready for the battle.

"Om Vulpix, use Ember!"

The fox's mouth started to glow hot as fire started to form within. Once enough power had been made she opened wide and shot a barrage of flame at the opponent. Mime Jr. attempted to dodge the attack but was still hit in the side. It merely shook off the attack and prepared for it's command.

"Use Confusion Mime Jr.!"

The little pokemon's eyes turned neon blue along with the entirety of Vulpix's body. Before she could even attempt to avoid the attack she was picked up and thrown into a wall and then back onto the ground. It was apparent that Vulpix took quite a bit of damage but she was still good to go.

"You can do it Vulpix! Use Quick Attack!"

The fox leaned back on its hind legs and shot straight at Mime Jr. at a speed so fast the poor pokemon never saw it coming. Vulpix hit him straight in the chest with enough force to kill any human. Mime Jr. flew backwards and hit its head hard in the ground about ten yards away. There was no doubt Vulpix had won due to the limp body of James' pokemon.

"How could this be? We've been training for so long and yet you were able to do so much damage!"
"Gardevoir is important to all of us; we would never let you keep her from us no matter what you tried. So I suggest you leave before we make you leave."
"Urgh! Very well! But don't think this is the last you'll here from us!"

James recalled his pokemon and swiftly exited the room. Once he was gone Austin rushed over and unstrapped Gardevoir from her seat. As soon as she stood up Austin wrapped his arms around her tightly and held on fro dear life.

"Thank god you're safe... Did they hurt you in anyway?"
(Not really; in fact James was very polite while I was held captive. I was put in that chair not ling before you arrived. There is forbid damn collar though, I can barely talk with it on and it disables my other powers."
"Well as long as your okay, let me take that collar off."

Gardevoir turned around as Austin slowly unmatched the buckle on the back. As soon as it was off Gardevoir turned around and kissed him deeply.

"Thank you so much for saving me... despite all they did I couldn't stop thinking about you. I thought I'd never see you again."

Austin smiled and kissed her back.

"What a silly thing to think. We would never leave you with these goons."
"We?"
"Yeah some of my old friends decided to come and help. They're still looking for us so we should head back and meet up with them."

They kissed a final time before hastily heading back down the hall. They had to dodge the two men Austin saw earlier as they were running for their lives to get away from something. But all Austin saw when he turned around was Dawn and her little Piplup.

"What the hell happened? They looked like you were about to kill them."

Dawn giggled lightly and rubbed her Piplup's head before returning it.

"Oh they just couldn't handle my little buddy's power. Oh! Is this your Pokèmon? My name's Dawn, nice to meet you."

Dawn held out her hand for a handshake. Gardevoir hesitated at first but then gently shook her hand and smiled.

(Nice to meet you too. Thank you for helping Austin rescue me.)

Gardevoir was surprised to see the straight face Dawn kept at realizing she could speak.

"Austin already told me if that's what your thinking."

All three laughed before heading towards the exit. Once they made it back up the stairs Austin and Dawn both heard their communicators ringing. They forgot to call everyone else back so Austin could only assume who it was.

"Austin! Dawn! Are you ok? Everybody is waiting for you guys at the cars!"
"We're both okay. We found Gardevoir as well."

"Thank goodness, you need to hurry though! Team Rocket is getting pushed back into the cargo bay!"

"Got it, we're on our way now."

They resumed traversing the halls till the group made it back to the cargo bay. Unfortunately, the battle had already spread to that area. Austin grabbed both of the girls' hands as they dodged streams of fire and electricity coming from both sides. They had almost made it to the loading bay when a Voltorb landed right in front of them. It glared at them as it started to glow white hot.

Austin quickly pulled both of them away just in time to avoid the explosion. Austin however was not so lucky. The blast singed his back badly and the immense force sent him flying forward. Everything was a blur to him. He could barely make out the shapes of Dawn and Gardevoir kneeling overhim. From what he could barely hear he could make out the sounds of more officers coming to help them. All of his energy suddenly disappeared as he fell into unconsciousness...

Two Day Later...

Austin slowly sat up and rubbed the back of his head to try and make his raging headache settle down. He soon regreted sitting up as some of his burn wound reopened themselves. Ignoring the pain, Austin looked around and figured he was inside the local Pokèmon Center. A simple glance down revealed three young girls laying their heads on his bed asleep. A smile crept up across his face as he rubbed their heads gently.

"Thanks guys..." Austin whispered to himself.

Considering that it was still night time; Austin laid back down and slipped back into a slightly calmer slumber. The warmth of the three girls helped him sleep the rest of the night away...

7:00 AM...

Austin again rose, a little more slowly this time and gently shook the girls awake. They looked at him with their eyes half-opened until they realized who had woken him up. Upon that realization they all jumped up and gave him a big hug. His face told them that it was a really bad idea so they quickly let go and sat back in their seats.

"Are you ok Austin? We were so worried about you!"

A small tear appeared in Gardevoir's eye.

"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't come after me..."

"Don't say silly things like that. I feel fine and even if I didn't it would have been worth it to see you safe."

Dawn smiled at the cheesy comment.

"What you did was very reckless you know. That Voltorb could have actually killed you."

"But it didn't kill me did it?"

"Good point, I just don't want you dying for my sake."

"Me neither!" The other two girls said at the same time.

Austin chuckled lightly. "I have no intention of leaving such lovely ladies."

"Fortunately for you you're not going anywhere but out of this center."

Officer Jenny popped her head into the room before entering entirely.

"You did a very brave thing when you protect those two, something worthy of a medal! In fact... your ceremony is tomorrow!"

Austin face lit up at the word 'medal' and grinned with a little pride. Everyone laughed at the gesture.

Once some paperwork had been filled out and his burns were wrapped up a final time Austin was allowed to go home and rest. They all walked in a tight circle with a girl on each side and one behind him.

(Damn, I feel like a playboy now!)

(I heard that jerk!)

Austin laughed, to the confusion of the other girls. They just shook it off and kept on walking.

"Wait a second... what the hell happened to John and Michael?"

"They went back home to tell your parents that you were in the hospital. They came to see you but you were still asleep so they went back home."

"I hope they're not too worried."

"I'm sure they'll be fine, you have us after all."

Dawn smirked and wrapped around one of Austin's arms and giggled.

"Lucky me..." Austin said and rolled his eyes to the amusement of the girls.

5:00 PM

Once they had finally reached the town Austin decided to walk Dawn home before heading to his own house. Kimi had to go home to see her parents and Gardevoir figured it was best to let them catch up on old times and went to Austin's house by herself as it was very close by. Once they were alone they both decided to take a walk. The cool evening breeze felt good after the long walk.

"So Austin, what have you been up to while you were away?"

"Well, I've been entering a few contests, caught some new pokemon like Gardevoir, and just exploring the world. What about you? How is your mom doing?"

"She and I are doing fine. I missed you a lot though..."

"I'm sorry you couldn't come with us. It would have been a lot of fun."

"Well about that... would it be ok if I came with you this time? I was able to convince my mom to let me go as long as I'm with you."

"That's a great idea! Kimi and Gardevoir would love to hae you come with us!"

"Really? Thank you so much Austin!"

Dawn walked closer to him and gave him a light peck on the cheek that made him blush slightly.

"Um Austin? Do you think we could take a little detour? I want to savor this moment..."
