Man. I seriously haven't updated for a long time. I'm sorry to all of those who are loyal readers. (Stella6 and Willy) I'd like to thank you two for always reading and reviewing.

May, Brendan, and Wally sat down for lunch with May's parents. While they ate, they explained the situation of Team Aqua and Magma to May's parents. "We first discovered Team Aqua when we were in Petalburg City while Brendan was watching t.v."

"What were they doing there?" May's mother asked.

"I don't really know. It was something about an orb."

"Did they describe this orb?" Norman asked.

"Nope, I don't think I've ever heard them say that much about it." Wally said.

"Actually, I think I heard them call it the Blue Orb once." May said.

"Blue orb?" Norman whispered to himself.

"And when did you first meet Team Magma?" Mother asked.

"They were trying to burn down a forest." Brendan said. "In this same instance they released my Camerupt when he was a Numel."

"Ok, so what about all the other times you encountered them?" Norman asked.

"Geez, that's a lot." Wally said. "We've seen and battled them both so many times, I can't even think of a number."

"But most times we've see them, they always appear to be in caves." May said. "I would suspect that this means this special orb lies in a cave somewhere."

"That's great May. We've got a hint about where these guys tend to show up and where they'll probably show up next." Mother said happily.

"Hold on a minute. It's great that we know where Team Magma and Aqua are showing up, but I don't want this to get in the middle of my next gym battle." Brendan said.

"Brendan, I can't believe you think a gym battle is more important than the fate of our home." May said.

"You're so selfish." Wally scolded.

"Hold on kids." Mother said. "What you guys need to do is relax."

"Your mother is right May." Norman said. "You children have been getting too involved in something as dangerous as mysterious evil teams. You should let the police handle this."

"Yeah, let the police handle this." Brendan said. "In the meantime, we should head to Fortree City where the closest gym is located."

"And the fastest way to get to Fortree City is to go east of Mauville City to Route 118.

"But Dad, we'd have to catch a boat to get there fastest." May said.

"But what about me?" Wally asked. "I can't let anyone see me or they tell my parents I was here."

"How about you use your new Flygon to fly there?" Norman suggested.

"Oh yeah. I'm sure Brava would be able to get us there." Wally said.

"And we can leave right now." Brendan said.

May, Brendan, and Wally were in the backyard of the gym. Wally let out Brava to prepare to fly. "Well, I guess we'll be going now." May said hugging her parents. "Bye Mom and Dad. I'll see you soon. I love you."

"We love you too May." Her parents both responded. With that, she Brendan, and Wall climbed onto the Flygon. They flew off into the distance.

It had been an hour since the flight began, and the children had finally approached Route 118.

"We made it." Wally said.

"Finally." May groaned. "I'm starving. Tell Brava to let us off by a restaurant." Brava heard May's instructions and landed in the middle of a park.

"Where's the restaurant?" Brendan asked.

"Across the street, let's go." Wally said.

Inside the resteraunt, the trio sat down to eat. They let out all of their Pokemon to eat with them.

"So, Brendan and Wally, what do you plan on doing for your gym battle." May asked.

"According to my guide book, Fortree City has a flying-type gym." Brendan said. "I'll defiantly use Trike and Tail, but I don't know who else."

"Well, I know I'll use Mari, for her Blizzard attack, and Lair for his strong resistance to flying-types." Wally said. "I can't use Grow because she's weak to flying, so I guess Kirli and Brava will be my only other options."

"What about you Brendan? You have a broader variety." May asked.

"Hm, Zang might be a good option, but so could Kip." He thought.

"Oh no. Did you hear that?" Lair asked.

"What?" Grow asked.

"Wally wants to use me in the gym battle." He said in a scared voice. "I'll lose for sure."

"How? He said you'll be up against flying-types?" Plus said.

"I just know I'll lose somehow." He said.

"If you have an attitude like that you will." Mawi said. "You need to be more confident." Kenni rolled her eyes at the talk of gym battles, while Linea and Yena growled angrilly.

"I think you'll be okay." Kip said.

"Just make sure you raise your defense as much as possible." Mawi said. "Then strike it with your rock-type attacks."

"Ugh, all this talk about gym battles is boring." Linea said.

"Yeah, we should be worrying about Team Magma and Aqua." Minus said.

"Norman said to leave Team Magma and Aqua up to the police." Brava said.

"Besides, those guys are too dangerous for a couple of kids to stop." Mari said.

"Not for me." Tail said proudly. "I can knock 'em all out in seconds." Everyone sweatdropped.

"Please. You could never handle their Walrein." Yena growled. "They'd freeze you to death." Trike chuckled quietly before being eyed by Tail.

"Anyway, we should worry about this gym battle for now and then think about Team Aqua and Magma later." Grow said.

"Whatever." Tail replied.

"I'll just wait to decide when I see what Pokemon the gym leader has." Brendan finally decided.

"Well that makes sense." Wally said.

"Let's hurry up and eat so we can get to…" Brendan was cut off by May.

"Guys, look at the TV!" May said loudly, but not as a scream. The boys quickly turned to the television.

"While visiting the Weather Institute, a strange group of people dressed in pirate outfits were seen standing outside, blocking most entrance." The reporter said.

"Team Aqua." May whispered.

"What could they be doing at that Weather Institute?" Wally asked.

"I guess we're going to have to go find out." Brendan moaned. "Putting another halt to my gym battle."

"Brendan, you just got a badge from my day yesterday." May said in a scolding tone. "Can't you wait a day before trying to get another one."

"Ugh. Fine." He groaned. "Let's just go before Team Aqua gets away." Brendan, May, and Wally returned their Pokémon and ran outside. They mounted their bikes and rode down Route 118.

"The Weather Institute should be nearby." May said. As they continued biking, they saw what looked like a large palm tree in front of them.

"What is that?" Wally asked, pulling out his Pokedex.

"Tropius, the Fruit Pokémon. It flies by flapping its broad leaves. The bunch of fruit that grows around its neck is deliciously sweet. In the spring, it scatters pollen from its neck."

"A grass and flying-type? That's pretty cool." May said.

"But it's in our way." Brendan said, as he and the others stopped in front of the large Pokemon.

"What do we do?" May asked.

"Tail, use Sky Attack!" Brendan yelled throwing the Poké ball. Tail stuck the Tropius with the super effective attack, knocking it back instantly.

"Ok, now let's go." He said.

"Wait!" Wally yelled. He pulled out an Ultra Ball and captured the Tropius.

"Seriously Wally, and I thought you're catching Mari was random." May said. Wally merely chucked as he picked up his Ultra Ball and went back to his bike. The trainers biked forward and reached the Weather Institute. As they got off of their bikes, a swarm of Mightyena surrounded them. Some Aqua grunts ran out behind them.

"It's those kids that always interfere with us." A female grunt said. "Mightyena, use Hyper Beam!" The large hyena Pokemon began charging their attacks.

Kip, use Protect!" Brendan yelled.

"Kirli, use Protect too!" Kip and Kirli created a large shield around the tree trainers and protected them from the attacks.

"Num, come out!" Num came out of his Poke Ball. Upon seeing the Team Aqua uniforms, he used Heat Wave and defeated all of the Mightyena.

"DAMMIT!" A male grunt yelled.

"Go inside and tell the admin!" The female grunt yelled. The other grunts retreated.

"Let's get in there now!" Brendan yelled. He, May, and Wally let out all of their Pokemon, expecting a long dangerous fight. They all ran inside the building to see that their prediction was correct. All thoughout the entire building, in each room, down the halls, Team Aqua grunts were standing around with Mightyena, Crawdaunt, Seviper, Walrein, Crobat, and other Pokemon.

"Well, well…" A familiar female voice said. She stood in front of them with a Walrein at her side. "Look what we have here."

Update

May

May is still our self-centered coordinator of the group. She has become nearly the strongest member of the group. She has recently taken her focus away from contests and instead focused to learning more about Team Magma and Aqua. Despite her parents' wishes and explicit orders, she immediately decided to investigate the Weather Institute upon hearing that Team Aqua was seen there.

Kenni (Lv. 36) Moves: Fire Spin, Quick Attack, Peck, Mirror Move Brick Break, Rock Smah, Flamethrower

Kenni has finally evolved into her final evolution and is vain as ever. She believes she's achieved maximum beauty after her evolution. She's done very well in her first two contests and easily won two Beauty Ribbons. She is still annoyed by Mawi speaking about gyms battles instead of contests. She dislikes Zang because of May's dislike of the species.

Linea (Lv. 35) Moves: Headbutt, Pin Missile, Tail Whip, Water Pulse, Secret Power, Belly Drum, Covet

Linea has fully taken on the personalities of Kenni and Linea. She frequently growls at Mawi for speaking of gym battles rather than contests. She used her two newest moves to win two Cute Ribbons. She is very close to Yena and the two are best friends. She also doesn't like Zang due to May's dislike of Zangoose.

Yena (Lv. 35) Moves: Crunch, Take Down, Scary Face, Thief

Yena is still as fierce as she's been thoughout her journey with May. She has won two Tough Ribbons. She agrees with May that they should continue to redirect their focus stopping Team Magma and Aqua. She also seems to like teasing Tail, just as Kenni does and she is also very vain

Mawi (Lv. 22) Moves: Crunch, Flash Cannon, Iron Head, Ice Fang

Mawi still has yet to bond with any of May's Pokemon. However she seems to have a good relationship with Wally's Pokemon and doesn't mind Brendan's. Her most recent activity was giving Lair tips on how to win his next battle. She believes that he lacks confidence and won't be able to win if he doubts himself. She knows his defenses are high and that he must focus on raising his defense before he attacks.

Plus (Lv. 20) Moves: Thunderbolt, Helping Hand, Toxic, Charge

Plus hasn't yet taken on the snobbish personality of May's other Pokemon and doesn't seem to mind Mawi. She won two Smart Ribbons in her first contests. She is friendly with all other the Pokemon, but tends to mimic Kenni, Yena, and Linea by gloating about her intelligence.

Minus (Lv. 20) Moves: Thunder, Swift, Iron Tail

He also hasn't become as fierce or stuck up as May's other Pokémon. He appears to be quite brave as he agrees with Yena and May that they should focus on stopping Team Magma and Aqua. He works best with Plus in double battles.

Brendan

Brendan is still very selfish. He constantly wants to get to gyms even after he has just won a battle, as seen with his desire to get to Fortree after being given a badge by May's father. He agrees that they shouldn't get that involved with Team Magma and Aqua, but only so he can get to more gyms faster. He also attacked a Tropius that was in the groups way when on the way to the Weather Institute, another example of his impatience.

Kip (Lv. 33) Moves: Whirlpool, Water Pulse, Mud Slap, Protect, Mud Shot, Rock Smash

Kip has become much braver and stronger as the journey has continued. He is still calm and wishes to help others and wants everyone to get along. He was a signature part of Brendan's victory against Flannery. He is still Brendan's most used Pokémon.

Tail (Lv. 30) Moves: Quick Attack, Wing Attack, Pluck, Aerial Ace, Sky Attack, Facade

Tail is Brendan's second most used Pokemon and his method of air transportation. He is very strong, as he was able to fly both Brendan and May out of a cave. He hasn't dulled down on his perception of himself, believing he could easily defeat Team Aqua and Magma.

Num (Lv. 39) Moves: Heat Wave, Take Down, Eruption, Sunny Day

Num still has yet to obey Brendan. He also doen't speak to or like any of the other Pokemon, therefore, not much is known about him. He know that he still despises Team Aqua, due to being owned by Team Magma previously.

Trike (Lv. 25) Moves: Discharge, Thunder Fang

Brendan's feisty Electrike. He was successful in his gym battle against Flannery when he defeated her Slugma. He still only knows two moves, but his very strong. Brendan plans on using him in his next gym battle in Fortree City.

Zang (Lv. 22) Moves: Slash, Fury Swipes, Crush Claw

Zang was caught after Brendan saw how brutally he defeated a wild Seviper. He was used in the gym battle against Flannery and gave Brendan the victory. Unfortunately, he lost to Norman. He, like the rest of his species, despises Seviper and will try to kill one whenever he gets the chance.

Wally

It was revealed in chapter 13 that Wally ran away from home and began his journey against his parents will. Once he was taken to his aunt and uncle's house, he soon escaped again to rejoin May and Brendan. Though he has breathing problems, he still wants to go out and experience the world. He dislikes Brendan's selfishness and doesn't have the same hasty desire to beat all of the gyms

Grow (Lv. 34) Moves: Screech, Mega Drain, SolarBeam, Energy Ball, Leaf Blade

Wally revealed that he actually stole Grow when he took her pretending to be another trainer that was destined to receive a starter Pokémon. However, she formed a bond with him and decided to say with him. She is still the nicest member of the group. She, like Tip, wants the other members to be nice to Mawi.

Kirli (Lv. 34) Moves: Confusion, Magical Leaf, Teleport, Protect

Kirli was the first Pokemon Wally caught with Norman's help. She loves dancing, even during battles. She very similar to Grow and the two are best friends. Both of them want all of the Pokemon to get along. She used almost as much as Grow.

Mari (Lv. 30) Moves: BubbleBeam, Aqua Tail, Blizzard, Double Edge, Hydro Pump

Mari is a very strong Pokemon. She is similar to Grow and Kirli as they are all polite and don't like rudeness. She has helped Wally win many gym battles. Her water abilities came in very handy when battling Flannery. She doesn't believe that May, Brendan, and Wally are able to stop Team Aqua and Magma and agree that they should leave it to the police.

Lair (Lv. 22) Moves: Metal Claw, Dig, Iron Defense, Rock Tomb

Lair was the last Pokemon Wally caught before reaching Petalburg City. He has very strong defences which allowed him to hold his own in the gym battles he was used in. However, he doesn't have much faith in himself as he said he was worried to battle against battling Pokemon where he had a double advantage. He is a longtime friend of Mawi and likes her helping him with his battles.

Brava (Lv. 45) Moves: Fury Cutter, Fly, Sand Tomb, Hyper Beam

Brava was caught by Wally as a challenge by Norman to see how he'd improved from their previous encounter. He is very strong as shown when Wally captured him. Not much else is known about him accept he is able to easily fly long distances for long periods of time and that he believs Norman is correct in instructing the kids to avoid Team Magma and Aqua.

Tropi (Lv. 20)

Tropi was first seen sitting in a path where May, Brendan, and Wally were biking to the Weather Institute. Nothing is known about him.

I thougt I'd update the charter bios since I haden't done that in a long while either. I really hope to do more chapters before the week ends.
