JPP 14: Flight Trouble.
Hoenn Region
In the bright blue skies of the Hoenn region, inside a white airplane, many of the passengers on board were panicking.
Among them was 11 year old Max, who, unlike the other passengers on board the plane, was trying his best to stay calm. But how could he? Who could remain calm after what he had just witnessed happen? The whole bright blue sky had suddenly been covered with beautiful, golden clouds, and golden beams of light came through the plane's ceiling and shined on all of the pokemon and beamed them all up through the ceiling, phasing them all through it like ghosts, along with every pokeball. The golden clouds then disappeared and the beautiful, bright, blue sky returned.
Max wore his glasses, a forest green sweater vest with a button-up collar that had one white button, the vest had dark green stripe, forest green pockets and a dark green stripe at the bottom of the vest. He also wore a white short sleeve t-shirt underneath, gray baggy jeans, laceless, forest green sneakers with dark green trims, and he wore a white watch on his left wrist.
This was the same Max who had traveled with Ash, Pikachu, his sister, May, and Brock through the Hoenn and Kanto Regions in (2000). He was only 7 at the time, but he still remembered both journeys like it was yesterday. All of the adventures they had...the friends they had made...and the enemies they had faced. Although their adventures had their shares of ups and downs, Max thought they were all really good memories. And it only made the kid want to become a pokemon trainer even more when he got older. Which was what he was right now. A pokemon trainer.
Max had recieved his very first pokemon on his 10th birthday of last year from professor Birch, which the kid had chosen as a Treecko, since he always wanted one since he was little. By the end of (2003), Max had already traveled through the Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos regions and won every gym badge and all leagues. After returning home from his journey through Kalos, the 11 year old spent a whole month with his family and was now on board a plane that was heading for the Alola region, which was where he would begin his next journey. But all that had changed in an instant, it seemed, when all of the pokemon on board the plane suddenly vanished without a trace. Among the pokemon that had vanished were his Treecko and all of the rest of his pokemon, which were inside their pokeballs. It was so weird. And freaky.
Max didn't know how to describe it. One minute, the plane had been full of pokemon, the next moment, all of the pokemon were gone. It looked like something one would read about in a science fiction novel. But Max knew better. He knew this wasn't fiction. This was real life.
Some of the human passengers on board the plane sat stunned, with their mouths hanging wide open, while most of them were panicking, screaming and crying over the sudden disappearances of their pokemon.
"My Skitty! Where is my Skitty?!" A woman panicked.
"My Mawile. I can't find my Mawile. My Mawile." Said another woman in panicked as a beautiful, blond-haired female flight attendant, with hazel brown eyes, walked up to her, wearing a black uniform that was a long sleeve suit top, a black short skirt, gray stockings and black high heel shoes. Her blond hair went down to her upper-back.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" The flight attendant asked.
"My Mawile's gone. I can't find my Mawile." Said the woman.
"It's okay, sit down, we'll find it." Said the flight attendant as she calmly sat the woman back down in her seat.
"Where are our pokemon?" A guy asked.
As the female flight attendant walked down the aisle, she recieved more reports from other passengers that were identical to the story from the lady she had just spoke with. She also saw that several other pokemon that were on board the plane just moments ago were not on the plane now. They had vanished. The woman stopped in her tracks and turned and ran back down the aisle to get the captain.
Max then got up from his seat and ran after the flight attendant.
The flight attendant ran through the closed curtain entrance and down through another room filled with panicking passengers and no pokemon. Max rushed through the curtains and ran down the aisle after the woman.
A man then took off his headphones and looked at all of the panicking people and noticed that all of the pokemon were gone.
"What's goin' on here?" The man asked.
/
In a small room, the male pilot was fixing himself a cup of coffee.
"Captain." Said the flight attendant as she entered inside the small room.
"Boy, that was pefect timing, huh?" Said the Captain, wearing a black suit uniform, a white button up shirt underneath with white buttons and a black tie, and he wore black shoes. He also had dark brown hair and brown eyes.
"Captain, the pokemon are missing. Dozens of passengers are in panic." The flight attendant said.
"Heather, it's a big airplane. The pokemon are probably off playing somewhere." Said the Captain.
"I'm telling you...they are not here...they are not anywhere. Okay? The pokemon, the pokeballs, they've all just disappeared, the pokemon are gone." Said the flight attendant known as Heather.
"She's telling the truth, captain." Came a young voice.
"Huh?" Said the Captain and Heather as they turned to see Max standing in the entrance of the small coffee room.
"What did you say, young man?" The Captain asked.
"What the lady just said is true. All of the pokemon on the plane have disappeared. Incuding mine." Said Max with his litte boy voice.
"I'll be right back." Said the Captain as he exited the room after Max moved aside, allowing him and Heather to leave.
"I am not crazy." Said Heather, stopping the Captain in his tracks. "Go look for yourself."
With all of that said, the Captain rushed off to investigate the matter, with Heather and Max following after him.
/
A woman ran up to the Captain as he, Heather and Max entered inside the room.
"They're gone! My Kecleon are gone!" The woman panicked.
"Okay, they haven't gone far. Just please take your seat. Heather, handle this." Said the Captain.
"Sit down, we'll find them." Heather assured as she sat the woman down in a seat.
"Not me next! I'm not going next!" Said a man as he ran down the aisle.
The Captain noticed the man. "Heather, try and get these passengers calmed down." He said before he ran after the man, with Max following after him.
"(Crying) Where are they?" The woman said, crying.
"I'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!" The man panicked. "I'M GETTIN' OFF THIS PLANE RIGHT NOW!" He screamed as he ran ran over to the entrance to the plane and tried to open the door.
"No, no, no!" Said the Captain as he ran up to the man and grabbed him.
"NO!" Said the man as he pushed the Captain off of him.
Max then rushed onto the scene and he rushed up to the man and tried to get him to let go of the door, to no avail.
The Captain then ran up to the man and he and Max managed to pull him away from the door.
"I'VE GOTTA GET OUT!" The man screamed before Max and the captain tackled him to the floor and pinned him down to the floor.
"Listen, nobody's gonna die. Let's take it easy, okay? You're gonna be alright." The Captain assured.
"What is going on, Captain?" Max asked.
"I don't know. I just don't know." Said the Captain.

Littleroot Town
Littleroot Town was in chaos.
The town's people were screaming, panicking after witnessing their entire pokemon population, along with their pokeballs, get beamed up into the once golden cloud-covered sky by golden beams of light. The only thing left was the open, empty pokeballs that were now all lying scattered on the ground. The streets of the town were also chaotic, as all of the vehicles had just stopped working and crashed into each other. All of the electricity in Littleroot Town, and other electrical items, had stopped working.
Among the panicking people in the streets was 14 year old May, wearing the outfit she wore when she went to visit Ash and his friends in Sinnoh in (2001). Her Skitty had been taken up into the golden cloud-covered sky by one of the golden beams, along with all of her pokeballs, which just floated up into the sky, like every other person's pokeballs.
"Skitty! Skitty?! Skitty?! Skitty, where are you?!" May called out, with both hands to her mouth before letting them drop to her side. She then noticed an injured man walking among the chaotic traffic. "Oh, no." She said before she ran over to the man. "Are you okay?"
"My Trapinch. My...my Trapinch is not in my car." Said the wounded man as may reached inside her light green fannypack and got out her orange pokegear phone and opened it to call an ambulance for the man.
"It's okay, sir, you're in shock." Said May, with her pokegear to her ear. When she was receiving no response, she moved the gear phone away from her ear and looked at the screen and saw that it was black. She tried turning it on by pressing the power button, but nothing happened. Realizing that her phone wasn't working, May closed the gear up and placed it back inside her fannypack.
"(Crying) MY SWABLU! NO! NO! PLEASE, SOMEONE, PLEASE!" Screamed a woman.
May ran up to the screaming woman. "What's happening? What's going on?"
"(Crying) My Swablu, did you see it? It disappeared from the backseat! Oh, Please!" Said The woman before walking away from May. "PLEASE! SOMEBODY HELP ME! MY SWABLU! No-ho-ho. ANYBODY, PLEASE! PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME, PLEASE!"
May looked on at the chaos in her home town in horror and confusion. What had happened? What was happening? Where had all the pokemon gone? And how were they going to get them back?

Sit down! Please, everyone!" Heather said as she and Max tried to get all of the passengers to calm down, to no avail.
"Folks, listen to me. Listen, please. Please. We are in 37'000 feet. No pokemon just walked off this airplane. If i can get you to just take your seats, we'll handle your problems one at a time. Please." Said the Captain. "Heather, come here." He said as he turned Heather to face him. "We have gotta get these people back in their seats and start emergancy procedures."
"(Crying) Ron, i'm scared as they are. What happened?" Heather asked the Captain.
"Just do it, i need you to do this. Just do it." Said the captain now known as Ron. "Holly, Holly, get over here!" He called another female flight attendant. The captain then headed back for the cockpit and Heather proceeded to follow after him.
"Heather." Said Max, blocking Heather's path. "Heather, Heather, i'll help."
Heather turned back to the crowd of panicking passengers. "Sit town. Everyone sit down and take your seats. Okay, help us, please?"
Captain Ron opened the door to the cockpit and turned back to see Max and Heather trying to handle the panicking crowd of passengers.
"Come on, let these people do their jobs!" Max said.
Captain Ron then entered inside the cockpit and closed the door.
"Passenger emergancy oxygen masks." Said Ron to the male co-pilot, sitting in his seat.
"Captain, the pressure's fine." Said the co-pilot as Ron sat down at the flyer's seat in front of the stiring wheel.
"I didn't know that. Do it now." Said Ron.
"But Ron..."
"I said do it now." Said Ron, cutting the co-pilot off.
/
Inside the passenger rooms, several oxygen masks dropped from out of secret conpartments in the ceiling.
"Everyone return to your seats and put on your oxygen masks!" Said Heather.
All of the passengers did as they were told and returned to their seats and put their oxygen masks on, including Max.
/
"Mayday, mayday, this is pancon heavy 9:07. Mayday." Said Ron into the microphone attached to the headphones he now wore on his head.
"Ron, what is going on?" Asked the co-pilot.
"This is concordes 2701, i assume you're missing pokemon too?" came a voice on the radio.
"That's affirmative, concord. What's going on?" Ron asked.
"I don't know, but it's everywhere." Said man on the radio.
"Say again." Said Ron.
"It's everywhere." Said the man's voice.
"Everywhere?" Ron asked.
"The whole planet, buddy. We've recieved several other reports from other pilots around the globe, who's planes' passengers and crew members have lost all of their pokemon as well. Planes are down all over the world." Said the man.
"We're turning back." Said Ron. The Captain then pulled a switch and began to stir the plane back around to the airport in Little Root Town.
##################################################################################
Back in Littleroot Town, the town's people were still looking for their missing pokemon, with officer Jenny and the police now on the scene, assisting them. It had taken the cops a while to arrive on the scene, as all vehicles and other electrical items had automatically stopped working.
May then reached inside her light green fannypack and got out her pokegear phone and opened it up to see if it was working. Much to her dismay, it wasn't. The screen wouldn't even come on. The 14 year old put her phone back in her fannypack and began to walk back home through the chaos.

Littleroot Town Airport
Littleroot Town airport was in uproar and filled panicking people and all of the building light were out, along with every other eletronical device that was in the building. The only source of light the building had was the bright sky and the bright sun that shined in through the windows.
"(Crying) You have to help find my Kirlia." A woman begged a male staff member.
As Max walked through the chaos, he saw that all of the people had lost all of their pokemon too. The 11 year old boy took of his blue backpack, unzipped it, reached inside and got out his gray pokegear phone to call home. He tried to turn it on by pressing the power button, but the screen remained black. Realizing that his phone wasn't working, the nerdy kid placed it back inside his backpack. He zipped his backpack up and placed it back on his back and continued onward.
As he walked through the chaos, he saw two men fight over one of the green reciever of one of the green T.V.-like phones where one could talk to a person while looking at them on the screen at the same time. Trying real hard to keep it together, Max continued moving forward, with thoughts of home being the only thing on his mind right now. It was strange. This morning, he couldn't wait leave home and start his new journey through the Alola region. Now, with everything that had happened the way that it did, he couldn't wait to get back home.
He only hoped that in all of this chaos that his Mother, Caroline, and older sister, May, were okay...and that they were both at home, safe and sound, waiting for him. He also hoped that his Father, Norman, was okay due to the fact that he was flying off to Sinnoh today. He hoped to heaven that his Dad had missed the plane, or at least hoped the flight was delayed, canceled or postponed.
