"Okay, that's everyone in Veilstone." Leo slumped down on the ground and sighed.

"Where to now?" asked Sanzo.

Lian shrugged. "Eh… Let's see what the closest place is." He pulled out the Sinnoh map and laid it on the ground before the group.

"We could go to Solaceon…" Lian said, "Or…"

"OH. We go to Sunyshore, then Lake Valor, Pastoria, Solaceon, and finally Hearthome!" Leo suggested.

"Meh. Full circle. Fair enough." Nina shrugged. "What about you?" She stared at Sanzoku and Thievery.

But the two didn't pay attention when they were talking.

"Do you see that Mystic Water, Sanzo! We can grab that off the Floatzel." Thievery had whispered.

"While he's sleeping." Sanzo had hissed back.

When Nina asked her questions, they glanced up, confused.

"Uh… Er… Yeah! That's great." Thievery spat out. Sanzo nudged him, irritated.

Nina merely blinked. "Fine. The sun's setting. Let's get a move on and set up camp in the forest."

They followed the ice type as the two thieves smiled at each other, thinking about their plan.

Later that night, the five pokemon had set up their camp in a clearing near mountains and Lake Valor.

When everyone had finally fallen asleep, Thievery opened one red eye. He nudged his partner, who got up instantly. Carefully, Thievery grabbed the necklace's rope in his teeth and slowly pulled it off of Leo's neck.

He tossed it over to Sanzoku, who quickly caught it and stuck the Mystic Water in a pocket on her cloak. They snickered before curling up and falling asleep.

And the next morning was total chaos, thanks to them.

"WHERE THE HECK IS IT." Leo yelled. It was the first thing that anyone heard, and they all jumped to their feet.

"Where's what?" Lian hissed, rubbing his sore eyes.

"MY FREAKING MYSTIC WATER. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHERE I GOT IT FROM."

"YOU IDIOT. IT WAS FROM THE WHOLE OREBURGH THING." Nina yelled back at the sea weasel. "AND SHUT UP. I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP."

Leo smirked. "Oh, Nina. You don't need to sleep in order to be beautiful."

This time, Nina punched him.

Thievery glanced around, pretending to look for something. "Some wild pokemon probably snagged it while we were asleep."

"Since we're up, can we head for Sunyshore now?" Sanzoku asked.

Leo sighed and packed up their things, trudging in the direction of the town.

Behind his back, Sanzo and Thievery gave each other a wink.

"There it is, Sunyshore." Lian announced. The group had finally arrived in a meadow; Sunyshore's building in the distance.

"Meh." Leo grumbled. He was still sour about losing his Mystic Water that morning.

Nina sighed. "Look, Leo. We can go to the freaking beach after this whole warning thing is done. I bet news is spreading already."

Leo's eyes brightened. "Oh, really? GREAT." He began to leap up and down, much to the rest of the group's dismay.

"HALT. WHO THE HECK GOES THERE?"

The group turned to see a very angry looking Luxray glaring at them and flashing his unnaturally colored eyes.

"Can't see I didn't see that coming." Lian muttered.

"I AM NEON, LEADER OF THE PRIDE THAT ROMES SUNYSHORE." The electric type announced.

Nina sighed and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. We're not trespassing so get a move on. Oh, and the ancient legendaries are going to kill us all, tell everyone that."

Neon blinked. "Eh. ARE YOU MOCKING ME?"

"Yes." Leo replied.

He was then hit by a huge Thunder attack. He broke away from it, singed and dazed. "My milkshakes… brings all the boys to the yard… and they're li-"He mumbled before shaking his head. "Ow."

Neon hissed. "What are you doing here?" He asked Thievery and Sanzo.

The two thieves blinked, taking a step back. "I… I don't know who you are… Sir." Sanzo stuttered.

"OH REALLY, NOW. Stupid thieves, I reme-"

"THIEVES!?" Lian, Nina, and Leo cried at once.

"You mean to tell me that these freaking pokemon stole my Mystic Water?" Leo growled.

"And we let them on our team?" Nina hissed.

Neon nodded.

"GET THEM." Leo cried.

"N-no! Wait! We can explain." Thievery shivered.

"TOO LATE FOR THAT." Neon yelled. With a swish of his tail, about fifty Shinx and Luxio appeared, all snarling with rage.

"Well crap." Sanzo slapped herself. "RUN."

The two thieves turned tail and sprinted ahead. Followed by a Gallade, a Froslass, a Floatzel, a Luxray, and a horde of lions.

A lot of people have hordes. They must be pretty popular.

"AGH. I KNEW THIS WAS A BAD IDEA." Thievery shouted to his partner.

"HEAD TO THE CITY." Sanzo ordered. The two picked up their pace and were soon getting closer to the city.

"Don't let them get away!" Neon hissed.

"I have something to take back from them myself!" Leo told the lion.

"So do I. They stole my Magnet."

Leo smirked. "All the better reason to GIVE THEM A PUMMELLING." He shouted out the last part so the two escaping thieves could hear him clearly.

"Thievery, we're not going to make it!" Sanzoku began to panic.

The Furret smirked. "Nonsense, baby. This'll be easy. Best thieves in all of Sinnoh, remember."

Sanzo still doubted him. And so was Thievery. They both knew that they were so horribly screwed.

"Stupid Luxray." Sanzo murmured, touching the stolen Magnet.

The duo ran there way down the beach, closely followed by their pursuers. They passed a few houses before finally reaching the city.

"Okay, Thievery, use your move!" Sanzo called out as she picked up her pace. The weasel nodded and stopped suddenly, the Lucario, however, continued to run forward. A smirk on his face, Thievery began to kick up sand. The rest of the group stopped. They hacked as sand and dirt clouded their vision. The thieves took this moment to flee into Sunyshore City.

"Darn it. I think they *cough* escaped." Nina groaned.

As they dust cleared, the group could see that this was indeed true.

"Hmph. Well with my wonderful water attacks, I bet I don't even need that… whatever it was." Leo assured himself.

Nina shook her head. "Neon, you could investigate the crime if you want, but mind spreading the news? I'm sure your pride could help a lot."

Neon sighed. "Yeah, sure. Stupid thieves." He turned in the other direction and walked slowly away.

"… Poor guy. Oh well. TO LAKE VALOR!" Leo yelled.

"… How do you get over something so quickly?" Nina asked.

"Meh. Lake Valor is a vacation spot. I guess that he's excited that we might get a vacation for once." Lian explained for him.

"VACATION!? HOT HOUNDOUR, LET'S HURRY IT UP AND MOVE!" Nina dashed ahead of the sea weasel, bursting with excitement.

But when you're in my hands, you don't get a vacation.

---------------------------------

"Okay, Sinch. Here's the loot." Sanzo set down the Mystic Water, Magnet, and an assortment of jewelery.

"That's it? THAT'S IT?" A Sandslash demanded. They were in a dark alley, far away from any humans.

"Y-yes sir b-" Sanzoku recoiled from the slash that the shrew gave her. She wiped the blood dripping down his cheek, wincing.

"HEY. WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, MAN. WHY DON'T YOU GO A-" Thievery was slashed across the back as will. He growled and remained silent.

"You two, the best thieves in Sinnoh. Feh. Pathetic. I refuse to work with you any more, but I will keep everything that you gave me." Without another word, he snagged the items, tucking them in his spikes. "Where'd you get them from?"

"… That Floatzel, sir. The one that's all over the news lately." Sanzoku explained.

His eyes widened. "Hm. I guess I'll go after them myself." He then disappeared in the darkness, leaving the thief team enraged.

"WHO THE HECK DOES THAT GUY THINK HE IS?" Thievery snarled and wiped the blood off him.

"What do we do now?" Sanzo asked.

"Snag some more stuff and keep it for ourselves. But first… I think we pay the sea weasel another visit."

Sanzo cocked her head. "Hm? What kind of visit."

Thievery smirked, his red eyes giving off a familiar glint in them.

Ah ha ha!

Gotta love villains!
