Silver's Pov (Blackthorn City)

Never underestimate an old man.

I ignored the snickers from the twins, resting against the tree. The sound of rustling in the bushes caught my attention, but I tried to ignore it. It was most likely a Pokémon anyways. Feraligatr stood next to me, though something seemed off. I tapped my starter on the jaw, earning a slight glare from him.

"What is it?" I mumbled, frowning. Feraligatr shook my hand off, keeping his eyes on the bushes that moved earlier. I shook my head, letting my starter focus on the bushes. Whatever was there wasn't important to me. Maybe it was just some Pokémon Feraligatr wanted to kill..

"Hey Silver!" I looked up, seeing Paul waving me over. With a sigh I stood, wiping the dirt off of me and making my way towards Paul. He pointed over at the bushes, which shook once more. I sighed, "Want me to check?" He shook his head, confusing me more. "I'm worried it might be something.. else." Paul grumbled, narrowing his eyes.

I was about to order Feraligatr to check it out, when May shot up. "What is that annoying noise?!" She snarled, stomping over to a bush. A snarl sounded from the bush, followed by a scream from May.

The brunette fell to the ground, a huge hyena Pokémon on top of her. Claws dug into her flesh, drawing blood from the shocked brunette. Teeth were barred, aimed for May's neck. Blood slid down from her shoulders, and the girl whimpered loudly.

"Feraligatr, use Hydro Cannon!" I ordered, watching the Pokémon be thrown off of May. It fell down easily, only to get back up.

"Mightyena, use Bite."

The Pokémon launched forward, teeth shining as they aimed for May's face. "Absol, Iron Tail!" Drew ordered, eyes wide as his Pokemon's tail slashed at Mightyena. May stumbled back, holding her shoulder and hissing in pain. Dawn rushed forward, holding back a sob. She was overreacting. May would survive, it was just a scratch.. I think.

The person who ordered the Pokémon finally stepped out from the bushes, an annoyed look on their face. She had long, black hair and blue eyes, wearing a weird outfit with a symbol on it. She looked way older than any of us though. "Mightyena, grab that pest and kill it." She ordered, pointing at May.

The Pokémon nodded, and in a flash was next to May. It grabbed the shocked brunette by the collar, knocking Dawn back and rushing off. Drew chased after it immediately, his Absol way ahead of him. I looked back at the girl, who flipped her hair over her shoulder with a satisfied smirk. "Good, now Grimer, Sludge." She ordered, throwing her Pokeball at me.

I dodged it, the Sludge managing to splatter onto my shoes. I snarled angrily, feeling my skin begin to burn from the move. Feraligatr immediately washed it off as best he could, glaring angrily at Grimer a moment later. "Feraligatr, use Surf once more!" The annoyed woman side-stepped with ease, her Pokémon easily taking the hit.

I bit my lip as she snickered at me, "How weak. I would love to fight, but I have somewhere to be. Aqua is a busy team after all." She sighed, waving her hand, "Grimer, use Mud Bomb." She turned, slowly starting to walk away as the disgusting Pokémon belched up mud, aiming it at all of us.

How disgusting.

Feraligatr quickly washed the mud away with Surf once more, glaring at that girl's disappearing figure. "Aqua.." I heard Paul say, a huge frown on his face. I looked at him, thanking Feraligatr quietly. "Aqua? As in the team from Hoenn?" Paul nodded, "What are they doing in Johto though?"

"Why is Galactic in Johto? They are all here for a reason, though we shouldn't be worrying about that." Dawn sneered, "May is out there! We need to go save her!" Paul rolled his eyes, "We are going to. Drew is probably already saving her anyways." Dawn looked angry, though she made sure not to blow up and attack Paul.

"Well, like Dawn said, we should go save May. We can worry about Aqua later," I mumbled, earning a nod from Paul, "Let's go." The rest of the group followed behind, the sound of twigs snapping reaching my ears. Aqua and the others will be able to hear us if we keep running like this. We could be attacked out of nowhere.

"Absol, use Iron Tail once more!" I heard Drew say in the distance. I rushed forward, ignoring the possibility of being attacked from grunts. A clearing came into view, and we stumbled upon Drew battling the Mightyena, though May was nowhere in sight.

"Drew! Where is May?!" Dawn cried. Drew glared at the hyena Pokémon, before looking back at us. "I couldn't find her, and this Mightyena is stopping me from going further!" I frowned, "Go and get May then, we'll handle this." Drew looked surprised, but nodded a moment later.

The emerald eyed boy ran forward, dodging a Bite from the Mightyena. "Pikachu, go! Use Thunderbolt!" Ash cried, his starter hopping off his shoulder.

I stayed back, letting the others battle. Feraligatr did enough today anyways. It even surprised me that it was taking them so long to beat this Mightyena though. Pikachu could barely land its hits, and Paul's Torterra was having trouble aiming. This Mightyena's speed was something else.

"Pikachu/Torterra, use Thunderbolt/Stone Edge now!" Paul and Ash yelled at the same time, the Mightyena not being able to handle both attacks. It fell with a thud, and wasn't returned to its trainer at all. What kind of person is she..

"I found May!" Drew yelled, rushing forward with the unconscious brunette.

Dawn immediately ran up to Drew, checking May to make sure she was okay. She sighed in relief when she noticed the brunette wasn't harmed much. "We should get her to the Pokémon Center. Hopefully Nurse Joy can call in some doctors or something.." Dawn nodded, the rest of the group rushing towards the center.

However, as we ran to the Pokémon Center, I noticed something..

There is chapter 26. I hope you enjoyed :) What do you think Silver noticed? Also, I published a Thanksgiving One-Shot, incase you haven't read it yet!
