Disclaimer: Ahem, I don't own Pokemon.

Hello everyone. For those who didn't know. My computer had very big problems and all of my files are... NOOOOOOO!

Anyways, this update was suppose to be posted up but had to rewrite and is very very painful experience. I apologize because I'm still trying to get my other school work back up.

I promise the next chapter will be better and less hastily written.

Okay on to the more important news. HEART GOLD AND SOUL SILVER IS OUT! IN JAPAN! (I think... Haven't been on the comp for so long. lol) Just 10 more some odd months till I can buy it. Lol. Plus the next Diamond and Pearl episode is about the new game and the female protagonist will appear (why is it they show the female more than the male?) . Can't wait.

Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 52:

Crystal rustled through the tall grass while her Misdrevous hovered above her. She was fiddling with her Pokegear and was clearly irritated by the fact that she couldn't get through. "Jimmy is still not picking up his Pokegear. What in the world is he doing?" Crystal groaned. She wanted to update the news with Jimmy so that he would know the situation.

Unfortunately it has been almost twenty minutes and there was still no answer. Crystal sighed in frustration and hung up. She motioned Misdrevous to follow her closely. They finally arrived at the starting line of the race and the festival. It was then that Crystal finally noticed the flashing red and blue sirens along with police officers, trying to keep the crowd calm. Yellow tapes were everywhere.

"The police are already here?" Crystal looked completely shock. Who would've thought that the news would spread so quickly? Misdrevous felt uneasy at the large crowd of people and tried to slip behind Crystal for protection.

"Miss," one of the police officers called out to Crystal, "Please come over here! The forest is dangerous right now and we're sending in a team to call the others back!"

Crystal stared shockingly. The situation is a lot worse than she expected. Quickly, to not cause any trouble, Crystal hurried over and ducked under the yellow tape to join in the crowd.

"What in the world is going on?!" a large red hair man demanded to one of the officers. "At least explain what's going on!"

"I'm sorry, but we're not –"

"A friend of mine is still in there!" one of the woman screamed. Her brunette hair seemed to be flying all over the place. "Tell me that she's okay at least." Crystal immediately got jostled and pushed farther into the crowd as more and more people try to move up and demand for answers. Crystal decided that the crowd was too thick and was afraid that her Misdrevous might get lost.

"Misdrevous return," Crystal said, returning her ghost Pokemon. Crystal checked her Pokegear again to see if Jimmy has called and to her frustration, he hasn't.

"Excuse me." Crystal whipped her head around and noticed a long blond hair girl who seemed to be wincing with pain that came from her stomach. A Cyndaquil rested on her shoulders. "Do you know what's going on?"

Crystal shook her head and noticed the disappointment in the girl's eyes. "Drat, I wanted to know if that kid is still okay."
"Kid?" Crystal asked confused. The girl shrugged her shoulders and explained. "I was attacked and a guy managed to get me here, but when I explained what happened he went wild and ran out back into the fields. That's when the police started to come in…"

"What's the guy's name?" Crystal asked, "Maybe I saw him." The girl scrunched her eyebrows as she tried to remember.

"Black hair, baseball cap worn backwards… I think his name was… Billy or Jimmy… He had a Pichu," the girl explained. Crystal felt the color drain from her face. Jimmy was still in there?!

"I know him!" Crystal exclaimed, "Are you sure he went back in?!"

"Yeah," the girl said, terrified that something might have happened, "He looked worry. Do you know what happened?" Crystal looked at her Pokegear and noticed the indication of the number of times she tried to call Jimmy. Did something happen?

"Red… come in Red…" Red frowned at her communicator hanging from her belt. She took it out and noticed that it was the boss.

"Yeah sir?" There was a slight pause while the encrypted voice replied back, sounding angry.

"Watch your tone. You caused more trouble than needed. The police are already here. Your other two teammates have been captured. Our benefactors are not too please about this." Red frowned. Who would've thought stabbing one person could cause so much trouble?

"Right, right, sorry," Red rolled her eyes.

"Get back to base," the static voice said, "No detours." With that the connection disappeared. Red groaned. So much for hunting. Now she can't get the revenge that she wanted. She took out her Pokeball and send out an Altaria. The gentle blue bird Pokemon allowed Red to climb up and took flight. Red stare back down to the ground and noticed the alarming number of police officers that would've captured her if she hadn't escape. Revenge is definitely on the way.

"Well," Jimmy sighed, "You really do have a large sweet tooth." Pichu, eating a large sticky Mago bubble gum, replied with a "Eumph." It tried to open its mouth but the sticky gum glued its mouth shut. Jimmy couldn't help but laugh as his frustrated Pichu tried prying its mouth open.

Jimmy looked at his Pokegear and suddenly noticed that he missed about ten calls from Crystal. Uh oh. He quickly called her and unsurprising heard Crystal's angry voice at the first ring.

"JIMMY! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO CALL YOU?!"

"Errrr, I think about ten already," Jimmy muttered as he hold the Pokegear away from him as far as possible.

"You do realize that the police are trying to find idiots like you who don't seem to realize that you're supposed to come back." Jimmy winced. Well it's not my fault that I got caught up trying to disarm a bomb.

"Anyways," Crystal continued, "Are you okay?" Jimmy almost recoiled with shock.

"Are you asking me if I'm all right?" Jimmy asked. Crystal paused a moment before responding.

"Well yeah. You seem to get yourself in more trouble than a normal and sane person."

"What?!" Jimmy demanded, "I'm a totally sane and normal person!" There was a sound of disbelief laughter before Crystal replied.

"Yeah, whatever you say. Get back here before the police punish you." With that Crystal hung up. Despite Jimmy's anger at the 'not being normal' conversation, he couldn't help but feel happy that Crystal actually called out of concern.

"Pichu," Jimmy said, "let's get out of here." "Humph," Pichu replied.

Aaron gasped for air as he continued to run. The battle was over and he didn't want to get caught up in it more than he wanted. Without even turning back to see if the coast was clear, he dashed through the forest. His Pokemon were all beaten up and Ross seemed to want to fight more.

Aaron couldn't blame Ross. After all, Ross was humiliated being defeated by his archrival.

"Daichi, you caused quite a bit of trouble again," Solana sighed, "you even brought a civilian to this mess." Daichi hung his head. He didn't mean for that to happen.

"I'm sorry," Daichi muttered. Riolu, standing next to Daichi, looked concerning at his trainer's face. Solana shook her head and looked to see TK still telling the event to the other ranger. "At least he'll be fine, but we might need to put him into hiding. I have a feeling he knows more than he is letting on."

Daichi didn't say anything as he waited for his leader to finish speaking. "Go back to headquarters," Solana ordered, "to receive your punishment."
"Yes Solana," Daichi muttered as he walked off. He was in so much trouble now.

...

"Looks like it was a failure," Atilla said glumly. Hun didn't respond. She was still thinking.

"Tell the group that we will give them one more chance. Only this time, no pay." Atilla stared blankly. Hun rarely gave second chances.

"But-"

"Move," Hun said icily and Atilla skedaddled before Hun said another word. This was simply a test to see how the group worked. Now it was time for the real job.
