Chapter 12

Sorry for the late update but here's the new chapter! It's supposed to be one but... it got too long when I was in the mood to write it so I cut it in half.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. Enjoy!

"Why don't we just fly there?"

Serena's brow twitched at the mere suggestion of flying on a Pokemon. She rather walk or climb or use any other transportation rather than flying on a Pokemon. If it took longer, then fine with her. Anything but flying; she despised it since... "No."

Calem, Celmont, and Bonnie gave Serena a queer look.

The brunette folded her arms in defense. "I'm not going to trust one of your Pokemon to fly us over to the power plant."

Calem frowned. "And I never said that you should come with us. You don't have a Pokemon with you so it might be dangerous."

"How dangerous is a power plant?" Serena retorted. "If it was just an outage then there must have just been some malfunctioning for the wiring."

"She's got a point." Clemont interjected, earning him a glare from the raven haired champion.

"Fine," Calem said stiffly. "But it's either ride with our Pokemon or don't go at all."

Serena bit the bottom of her lip, seeing the corner she was in. She wanted to tag along to show Calem that she wasn't useless and that she could defend herself but just the thought of riding on a reptilian bird... scared her. Yes, she just admitted it but she didn't hate them, though, Serena rather take the long and treacherous route instead of the flying shortcut.

"Well?" Calem pressed on, a smug look on his face. How she wanted to wipe that look from him.

"Hey!" Bonnie piped, jumping and raising her hand up to get attention. "I wanna go too!"

"No Bonnie," Clemont scolded. "It might be too dangerous for you too so stay here and watch the gym."

"But I want to go!" The little blonde whined. "I never get to tag along when you go somewhere! And really? Letting a little girl watch over a gym when there isn't any power and the security is offline? That's even more dangerous!"

"She's got a point." Calem quipped, getting back at Clemont for his unintentional remark earlier.

As the two siblings argued about whether Bonnie could tag along or now, Serena decided.

The fist that Serena was unknowing clenching tightly released itself. She just has to let it go this time around. Kalos problem wasn't hers to deal with anyways. If they want her to stay out of their problems, then it's fine with her. She just needed to find those called themselves Team Flare and give them a beating that they will never forget.

Serena circled around so that her back faced towards the people she was talking to and but off the argument. "Have it your way. This isn't my problem anyways."

The way she said it made Calem frown; it was coldness mixed with hostility. Just as he thought that he became friends with her, she pushed him away after saying that she couldn't come with them. Why was she being stubborn anyways? He was only trying to look out for her yet she didn't want that.

He was about to say something to the brunette when his Holo Caster called for his attention. he fished it out and answer the caller, which turned out to be Yvonne.

"Did you find anything?" She asked through the hologram.

"Yeah, we should go to the Kalos Power Plant to see if the blackout originated there." Calem replied. "Meet us at... the Prism Tower."

With a nod, the call ended. When Calem look up, he found that Serena had disappeared from her spot.

"Serena said that she's going to find Prof. Sycamore." Clemont informed when he saw Calem looking around.

The raven haired champion debated whether he should search for Serena just in case she gets lost but decided against it. He tried to be friends with her, but she didn't take it. He was starting to think that Serena was worst than him in the social department.

Serena leaned against a tree trunk with her arms folded. She watched as Calem and his friends gathered in front of Prism Tower and send out any kind of flying type Pokemon they have to take off.

The brunette knew that it wasn't in her place to get involve in business that wasn't hers. She didn't want to be the cat that curiosity kills again, not with what she had to suffer the last time she forced herself into other people's problems.

She bit her lower lips and gripped both of her upper arms tightly as she remembered what she had lost.

"Are you sure you don't want to go with them?" A familiar, taunting voice spoke from above the tree that Serena was leaning against. The brunette snapped her head up immediately to meet the owner of the voice.

"Glad to see that you're happy to see me." The person grinned and leaped down from the branch they were sitting on. They stood up, only to have their upper body hidden within the shadows of the night.

Serena rolled her eyes, her poker face never left. "When did you get here?"

"A while ago," The person replied, a hand resting on their waist. "just taking a stroll away the city to kill time."

"I bet you were stalking me." Serena muttered, earning a giggle from the person she was facing.

"You and your assumptions," The person remarked. "Oh, the other two is already at our uncle's place.

Serena scowled, turning from the person and walking away. "Let's go then, I don't want to stay in this city anymore."

The figure sighed before following after the brunette. The wind blowing her chocolate brown tresses from her face, revealing her vibrant green eyes. A strange black bracelet was set around her wrist and despite the darkness, the gem embedded in it shined.

Calem and his friends arrived at Route 13, where the Kalos Power Plant is located, in no time flat thanks to their Pokemon. The wind was strong even in the night and the hat wearers had to secure their items on top of their head so that they wouldn't be blown away.

"Why is it always windy here?" Yvonne complained, holding onto her hat and shielding her eyes from the dust. "This is going to ruin my - mmphg!"

"Yvonne?" Shauna called when the blonde suddenly stop complaining. There came no response and they searched the premise frantically for her.

"Where did she disappeared off to?" Tierno asked for everyone.

"Bonnie?" Clemont suddenly called, becoming frantic when his sister wasn't by his side. He knew he shouldn't have taken her with them but she was too persistent with her begging that he didn't have a choice. Now she disappeared under his watch.

"BONNIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!" He shouted in panic, both hands cupping his mouth. "THIS IS NO TIME TO PLAY HIGH AND SEEK SO COME OUT ALREADY!"

"YVONNE! BONNIE!" Shauna joined in with the shouting, equally worried for her friends sudden disappearance. "AND SURE ME IF YOU CAN HEAR US!"

When only the wind answered, Clemont started to panic for real and grabbed a fistful of his blonde hair while running back and forth. "First Yvonne and now Bonnie is missing! What am I supposed to tell our dad?!"

Calem remain silent and calm, taking in his dark surroundings, listening to every sound that was produced. When he heard a crunch of branches, he immediately spin around and send his Absol out to use Night Slash.

The dark type slashed against a large rock, crushing it in the process. It was then revealed that there was a man fully dressed in red hidden behind it. He was send flying off his feet at the unexpected attack and hit his head against another rock.

"Ow!" He exclaimed in pain, rubbing his head and slowing getting up. He scowled and enlarged two of his pokeballs. "You brats, how dare you mess with a member of Team Flare! Go Houndoom, Goldbat!"

"Everyone, be careful!" Calem advised his friends over the howling wind as he commanded his Absol to use Psycho Cut on the Goldbat.

Houndoom came up from behind and tried to target the trainer with a Flamethrower. The devil hound was too close to Calem for him to evade the attack.

"Hip-hop, Hydropump!" Tierno commanded when he called out his trusty Blastoise. "I got your back Cal!"

The raven haired champion thanked Tierno silently with a nod and continue to confront with the Team Flare grunt. "Slade, Shadow Claw!"

Absol roared, running forward and then leaped, his right front paw was surrounded by a shadow aura that soon morphed into piercing shadow claws. He aimed the attack at the Golbat and swiftly taking him out. He then rounded on the man in red who was beyond speechless at his quick defeat.

Calem approached the man, glowering at him. "What have you done with my friends?" He demanded.

The Team Flare grunt merely sneered at him. "Do whatever you want with me but I'll never tell you that they're in the Power Plant."

"..." Calem and the others just stared, and stared, and stared with deadpanned looks. It was after while that that Calem broke the silence to address the man's idiocy. "... You just did."

"What - oh... crap." The man cursed himself for his big mouth. This was the one time that he didn't need it. "Well, I'll definitely not going to tell you that you'll need the card key to enter, which I happen to..."

He stopped himself and let out a chain of curses for his big mouth again while the others just deadpanned at him again. Just how much was he going to let slip until he realizes that he should just keep his own trap shut?

"So..." Calem said, rapping his fist against his palm with a smirk. "You have the key?"

"I err..." The man stuttered, turning his head away from Calem and tried to escape.

"Slade." The raven haired champion simply commanded. His Absol nodded in understanding and pounced at the Team Flare grunt before he got face. He pinned him against the ground with a Shadow Claw against his throat.

Calem approached the man again and squatted down, smiling sweetly yet menacingly with an ulterior motive. "So, where's your key? My Absol isn't exactly one to go against with so you better answer."

"You best comply with my master's request." Absol growled with his Shadow Claw dangerously close to sinking into the man's throat.

The grunt panicked and whimpered. "Okay okay! I-it's in my pocket!"

Calem told him to take it out but when the man rummaged through all the pockets his had on him, the card key was nowhere to be found. "I... I lost it... I lost it!" He was cheering because for once, his stupidity has help him in a situation against his enemies.

... And his just admitted that he was stupid in his mind.

Annoyed by the grunt's idiotic laugh, Calem knocked him out of consciousness when a choke a the back of the man's neck. He then sighed in frustration while running a hand through his hair - his hat was safely in his bag to prevent from flying away.

"Great..." Trevor sighed after a while of thinking, looking over to a tower in the distance that was the power plant. "What should we do now? As much as the man was stupid enough to tell us that Yvonne and Bonnie have somehow wounded up inside of the power plant, I doubt he was entrusted with keeping a watch over the entrance by his colleagues."

"Never hurts to try?" Tierno shrugged, making his way over to the mechanical door nearby and started pulling at the side in hopes of prying it open, but to no avail. "Nope."

Seeing the key pad at the side, Clemont fixed pushed his round glasses back in place. "Maybe I can hack it."

Tierno stepped to the side so that Clemont could get a good look at the key pad and then pressed a button on his backpack strap to activate his Aipom arm. The mechanical arm when into his backpack and handed the blonde his laptop and some cords.

He connected his laptop with the keypad and started to type. "It might take a while though..."

"Let's just hope Yvonne and Bonnie are okay in there..." Trevor said in worry.

"Don't worry," Calem assured. "this is Yvonne we're talking about, she would take responsibility in watching over Bonnie and she'll probably go berserk out if they ever stain her favorite clothes."

This main Trevor and Tierno laugh slightly since what Calem said was highly possible.

Although Calem tried to reassure his friends, he couldn't help the insecurity that he felt. It was partly his fault since he wasn't about to detect the enemy's presence before it was too late. It wasn't a good idea to head out in such a large group either, it would only led them to become easy prey like so. It was a good thing that Serena didn't come after all. He wouldn't want to have another person to worry about since Bonnie doesn't have her own Pokemon to protect her either.

Clemont was typing furiously on his laptop, a look of concentration on his face as his glasses reflected the various light shows emitting form the screen. He was trying to deal with the firewall that was harder to breach than he thought.

At some point, a virus leaked through into his computer and frizzed his laptop, prompting him to drop it in shock and damaging it even more. The three boys behind him let out a groan when it happened while Clemont checked the stated of his tech.

"Sorry guys..." Celmont said in dismay while scratching his head in frustration.. "There seemed to have been an anti-hacking system implemented in the power plant that sends a virus to the hacker."

"Well," Calem said, taking out another of his pokeballs. "maybe we'll just bust throu -"

"Hey, where's Shauna?" Tierno pointed out, looking around for their pig-tailed friend.

"Don't tell me..." Trevor groaned but a look of concern washed over him.

"Hey guys!" came Shauna's call. The four boys look to their right to see Shauna running towards them, waving something in her hand. "I found it!"

"What?" The boys spoke in unison.

When she came up to them -slightly out of breath but still able to talk- she showed them care covered with dust. "The card key!"

They stared at her, dumbfounded, except for Calem who had a slight idea as to how she was able to track it down. Shauna had told them before, she has a knack for solving puzzles and always observed her surroundings for anything out of the ordinary.

"How did you find it?!" Clemont asked incredulously. "It could have been anywhere!"

Shauna sticked her tongue out and rub the back of her neck sheepishly. "Hehe... I like solving puzzles, that's all. When Slade crushed the bolder, I noticed something white in the remains. And since that man was hiding there, I decided to take a look and found this!"

"Nice one Shawn!" Tierno complimented, giving the girl a thumbs up.

While the others talked about how Shauna was ale to see something as small as that in the middle of the night, Calem went up to the keypad and slide the card through a slot. The door hissed and opened after registering the key.

"Guys, let's go!" Calem called over to his friends, pointing at the now unlocked entrance.

They entered into the building and was exposed to the shallow lights within. It was a long corridor with some lights flickering. For a power plant, that wasn't a good sign. They continued to walk deeper in, and to not take any chances, they all have a pokeball in their hangs in case something pops out of nowhere.

The hallway was deadly silent with no sign of anything but the trainers that were walking wearily through it. Even though they were the only ones in there, they could hear click - clacking of footsteps ahead of them.

Their brows furrowed in anticipation and most of them shook in fear. This felt like the time when they were trapped within the Lost Hotel in the middle of the night since Trevor wanted to see if he can find a Rotom, which proved to be difficult due to Rotom's ability. They were scared for the most of it because they thought that the place was really haunted but discovered that it was Rotom's dong at the end.

Shauna had her eyes darting around and she saw that Trevor was about to step onto a part of the ground that looked slightly out of place, she tried to warn him... only to bump into the ginger and forcing him to step on the spot. The floor under Trevor's footing turned into a tile and slowly sunk as if it was a button.

A trap hole was fluttered open under their feet, taking them down while screaming.

"Shauna! Trevor!" The other three exclaimed when they saw Shauna and Trevor falling into a hole that appeared in the floor. They tried to reach them but was too late. When they got there, the opening to the trap hole closed up on when as they placed a hand on it.

Shauna's and Trevor's voices were muffled until they couldn't hear them anymore.

"Dammit!" Calem exclaimed out of frustration, slamming the now normal looking floor. This visit to the power plant was turning out to be anything but what he expected. Who was taking his friends one by one? Team Flare was it? That was what they called themselves.

They knelt in hopelessness when the floor showed no sign of opening back up, even when Clemont tried to press down on the spot that Trevor stepped on earlier. It was as if the tile was never there to begin with.

After a moment of silence, Tierno's Holo Caster began to sound. The boy quickly took it out and sigh in relief when he saw the caller. "It's Shauna!" He told Calem and Clemont before answering the call. A holo graphic picture of Shauna came into view but with the lighting, it was a little hard to make out her appearance.

"Shauna! Are you okay? Is Trevor with you?"

"Yeah..." Shauna groaned slightly as if in pain. "That was one heck of a fall..."

"You're telling me," Trevor's voice entered through Tierno's Holo Caster. "You're the one that landed on me so you shouldn't be the one complaining."

Shauna laughed sheepishly and the trio could practically see her embarrassed face. "Annyways, we're find. Just a little hurt but no serious injuries -err... I hope- and it looks like we can't get back up either."

"Can you see any other way to go?" Calem asked.

There was a moment of silence followed by the resounding of footsteps along a hallway. There was a distant voice that they could only assumed to be Trevor's before Shauna answered. "Yeah, Trevs just found one. Go on without us. We'll see if we can meet up with you guys later."

"Okay, but be careful!" Tierno answered, though he was relief, he was still a little worried.

"Don't worry! Trevs and I have each other so we can watch each other's back!"

"... I really doubt that." Trevor responded dubiously.

"Hey! I can be as strong as you guys too you know!" Shauna protested indignantly. There was a shush coming from Trevor, signaling to Shauna to be quiet.

"Uh.. gotta go! See you guys soon!" Shauna whispered and the call ended immediately. Tierno, Calem, and Clemont were left to wonder if the two were really going to be fine.

"... We should continue." Calem said after a moment. "We can't do anything else but that right now."

Tierno and Clemont nodded, following after the the raven haired trainer to the other side of the hallway where there was a doorway to another room. They went through that and was slightly blinded by the sudden change in the light setting. They were used to the darker setting so it took them a while to adjust and get rid of the white spots in their vision.

They were in a corridor with a few doors to the side and corners leading to other corridors. They only took a few fleeting steps before an array of Poison Sting struck their way. Calem managed to back his friends away, along with himself, before the attack hit their targets.

He quickly call upon his Meowstic, seeing that he might be up against poison types. "Gemini, Psybeam!"

As his male Constraint Pokemon unleashed a beam of colorful lights, Tierno and Clemont send out Hawlucha and Heliolisk respectively. Another attack was used to block the Psybeam and created a mini explosion. Out of the explosion came two people dress in red -one male and the other female- each with two Pokemon out. The woman have Croakgunk and Golbat while the man have Scraggy and Croakgunk.

"Little kids should know not to wander!" The woman lectured and then thrust her arm out. "Golbat, Super Sonic! Croakgunk, Poison Jab!"

"Counter with Disarming Voice!" Calem ordered.

"Olé, fight Croakgunk off with High Jump Kick!"

"Heliolisk, thunderbolt on the other two!"

The two voices from respective Pokemon cancelled out as the Wrestling Pokemon leap into the air and dived down at the Croakgunk, kneeing him on the back. Heliolisk let out a bolt of lightning towards the man's Croakgunk and Scraggy.

"Scraggy, block it!" He commanded. The Shedding Pokemon jumped in front of the Croakgunk and lifted his loose skin up to his chin to black the strike of Thunderbolt, reducing the damage to nil.

"Psychic and aim for all of them!" Calem commanded, wanting to finish this battle quickly so that their Pokemon wouldn't use up too much of their stamina when they don't know what they were going to face next. Before the Team Flare grunts could give any commands, their Pokemon were lifted into the air and immediately slammed against their respective trainers.

"Let's go!" Calem shouted, racing through while the enemy was down. Their feet hit loudly against the floor which echoed against the surrounding walls. They saw shadows in the next corner and decided to hide by breaking into the door near by and shutting it tightly.

Calem leaned his side against it to hear the rushing of footsteps and the murmuring voices passing them. When the sounds were becoming distant, he sighed in relief. "I think they're gone."

"Um... Calem?" Tierno tapped said boy's shoulder to gain his attention. He turned to Tierno to see that he was pointing somewhere. Calem followed his gaze to see people in lab coats tied up and muffled. Not only were there only scientists, but also regular civilians in the fray as well, including a scared little girl on the brink of crying.

"Mmff!" One of the man tried to communicate with the three boys but with his mouth gagged, they couldn't understand him.

They quickly went over to the people's add, untying the cloth over their mouth as well as the ropes binding their bodies.

"T-thank you!" The same man said gratefully.

"What happened?" Clemont asked while trying to untie the little girl's ropes.

"We were doing our jobs as usual when these people in red suddenly burst in and took over the power plant!" The man explained in urgency. "They also had us and the visitors tied up so we wouldn't call for help!"

"M-my daddy..." The little girl whimpered as teas started to fall from her eyes. "My daddy was taken away by those bad guys! Mommy disappeared too!"

Clemont tried to sooth the distressed kid while Calem and Tierno untied the rest that were in the room.

"So Team Flare overtook the power plant?" Calem concluded. "But... what do they want?"

"From what I have heard," The man responded, helping as well. "They're trying to steal the electricity that this power plant has stored up but that was all I heard before they locked us in this room. Please, you have to do something!"

The raven haired boy nodded, untying the last of the scientists. "You guys should escape from here before they find us out."

He lead them to the door but before they leave, Calem open the door a little to see if the coast was clear. One he had confirmed that, he signal everyone to leave. The only problem they had was the little girl, she didn't want to leave without her mom and dad and kept on crying. They didn't know what to do and if they don't stop her crying, they'll be found out soon.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

... scratch that, they were found.

"RUN!" Calem instructed the others as he told Meowstic to get into a battle stance. When an array of attacks came out of nowhere, the Constraint Pokemon created a wall of light to block the long range attacks.

About four more grunts appeared with two Pokemon each. At this rate, they won't be able to find the others soon.

"Calem, Clemont," Tierno called. "Go on ahead to find the others. I'll handle things here and make sure everyone gets out safely!"

The two boys casted a look of concern at him but nodded nonetheless. Returning their respective Pokemon, they let Tierno and his Blastoise to create a way for them to pass through by using Hydropump.

"We're counting on you Tierno!" Calem shouted over his shoulder as he and Clemont ran through the now opened path way.

With Shauna and Trevor

The two trainers waited with suspense when they heard approaching footsteps. They had to end the call immediately because Trevor detected movement beyond the only path that there was to his empty room.

They held their breath as the footsteps retreated and disappeared all together. The two sighed in relief and loosen the tension that they built up.

"Let's go." Trevor said, leading the way with Shauna right behind him.

"I hope Yvonne and Bonnie are okay..." Shauna tried with worry dripping from her voice. Trevor couldn't help but give her a reassuring smile.

"I'm sure they are. It's Yvonne, she's one of the strongest trainers there are, right behind Calem if might add." Trevor pointed out. "With those two here, we'll be done before you can say PokeVision."

Shauna nodded with new found spirit. "You're right! If those two team up, there isn't anything that they can't do! We'll just have to do our best and support them!"

"You make it sound like we're backups..." Trevor remarked.

"Well," Shauna mused. "We can't really compare to their skills and doubt anyone can. They're, like, the strongest trainers in Kalos! Who can top that?"

"I guess," Trevor said but then became alert when he detected more sounds. "Be careful, be might be in for a fight."

And as if on cue, two grunts appeared on the opposing end of the hall way, their Pokemon already out in front of them and ready to fight.

"Chestnut, help us out with Wood Hammer!" Shauna called, her Chestnaught came out charging at the Liepard dashing forward towards them.

"Salame, Flamethrower!" Trevor commanded, sending out his Charizard. The fire type roared before spraying fire towards Mightyena and Golbat.

Liepard leaped into the air with an aerial somersault and landed Sucker Punch on the Chestnaught's back; however, it wasn't enough to take the grass type down for he switched to Spiky Shield. Luckily, for Liepard, her attack was cancelled but she was able to away the dangerous spikes that were growing out of Chestnaught's back.

Golbat was able to fly out of the Flamethrower's range but Mightyena wasn't so lucky for he took the full blunt.

"Golbat, Air Slash!"

"Block it with Dragon Claw and go into Fire Spin!" Trevor commanded. Charizard clawed away the piercing air currents and open his jaws to unleash a spiraling fire. It hit Golbat and send him spinning towards the Liepard.

"Alight Chestnut, use turn those needles of yours into Pin Missile! Shauna ordered when Leipard and Golbat were send in her Pokemon's directions. The spike needles on Chestnut's back detached and launched themselves to their enemy, dealing more damage than the normal Pin Missiles.

In no time flat, the Team Flare grunts were defeated and they were quick to leave before more came to as back up. Trevor and Shauna made a right on the next corner and ran into more Team Flare grunts which extracted a groan from Shauna.

"I'm already tired of seeing red!" The pig-tailed brunette whined. "Why can't they wear any other color, like pink!"

Trevor sighed in exasperation at Shauna's antics. He doesn't know why he even bother to put up with it but he did. "Beat them, find everyone, and you won't have to suffer from the lack of variety."

Shauna rolled her eyes but nodded. Both of them battled together to take out the three grunts in front of them. Despite the difference in personality they worked well as a team and the enemy was no trouble for them at all.

"Good, let's -"

"Trevor!" Shauna shouted and then tackled the ginger to the ground when a Focus Blast was aimed at him. The attack grazed Shauna's arm, dealing enough pain for her to scream.

"Shauna!" Trevor exclaimed in shock and worry. He supported his upper body with one arm while the others secure the pig-tailed brunette from falling off of him. He saw the wound that Focus Blast inflicted and it wasn't the light ones either.

He glared at the attack, finding a Scrafty with another grunt behind him, a smug smile tugged at the man's lips. "You're going to pay for that! Salame, Flare Blitz!"

...

Trevor had to support Shauna when she walked because she said that she was feeling slightly dizzy. He was worried about the girl and felt guilty because if it hasn't been for him, she wouldn't have been hurt.

"It's fine Trevor," Shauna assured for the umpteenth time. "That's what friends are for. I know you would do the same if I was in trouble."

"..." Trevor looked down on the ground and sigh. "I just... I just don't like seeing you get hurt."

At this, Shauna felt her cheeks heating up but smiled at her friend's thoughtfulness. "I don't either. That's why we should watch each other's back!"

Trevor nodded silently but then stopped again. Shauna looked at him in question but then stiffen at the sound of marching footsteps. "T-Trevor...?"

"This might be a big one." The ginger took out more of his pokeballs, preparing for the huge fight that they will have to face.

...

They were tired with the nonstop charging of Pokemon coming at them. Their Pokemon were depleted of their energy from the endless usage of their attacks. Their opponents were more persistent than the earlier sets, with stronger Pokemon and better team work.

"Raiu, Discharge!" Trevor ordered of his exhausted Raichu. However, before the electric mouse could carry out his order, a Liepard slammed into him, sending him against a wall.

The ginger gritted his teeth, there goes the field range attack. What was he going to do now? He had to think, it was what he does best. No matter what the odds were, he would always found a solution, taking the best route and avoid any unnecessary risks.

Maybe if he could...

Before his train of thoughts could continue, there was a scream, followed by the opening of a trap door on the ceiling. A figure dropped in as fast as the eye could see and landed on a few Team Flare grunts with a thud.

Shauna and Trevor blinked, feeling deja vu all of a sudden as the figure groaned and got up, rubbing her back.

"Ugh... I can't believe I fell for that." The interloper groaned and then took a survey of her surroundings before her eyes as green as the summer leaves landed on Trevor and Shauna. She wore a blue and black sleeveless top accompanied by a pleated red skirt; black wristbands were around her... wrist, along with a black bracelet; a white fedora hat with a pink pokeball logo was resting on her long brown tresses and a yellow bag was sung across her body, resting on her waist. She also wore blue baggy socks along with red and white sneakers. In her hands was a green jacket.

"Hey!" She greeted cheerfully.

The two trainers didn't know what to say but their mouths were agape, indicating that they were about to say something but the words were lost as they made their way up their throats.

A similar thought came to both of their minds. Was it them or does she look like Serena?

"Looks like you're having trouble here," The girl mused, staring at the Team Flare grunts before snatching a pokeball from her belt. She enlarged it and tossed it up into the air.

"Lin, blow them away with Leaf Storm!"

Okay, I think I made the newcomer who dropped in a little too obvious so you should all know who it is!

Let's have a break down on the Pokemon and their nicknames 'kay? I don't know about you but I'm getting confused and I'm the one writing it!
