When they all got to Slateport City the first thing they did was to head to the Pokemon center to have their pokemon healed and so they could relax then May dragged Ashlyn over to the nearest clothes shop for her to pick a dress for the contest while Alain was teaching Max all he knew about Mega Evolution
"What about this?" May asked wearing a pink Arabian princess style dress
"No it's too mature for you May and honestly I think uncle Norman may just get a heart attack if he saw you in that" Ashlyn explained before she brought out a blue dress with thin straps for the shoulders and hang off sleeves and an a line skirt that showed it many layers and it even had sophisticated embroidery of flowers at the bottom, belt and top of the dress
"How about this?" Ashlyn asked as she showed May
"Wow it's beautiful ah but the price is too high" May said sadly
"Don't think about that go on try it" Ashlyn said before pushing May into the dressing room with the dress
A few minutes later May was smiling widely in the dress along with a pair of adorable sandles Ashlyn got and her new Mega Earring it was perfect and after paying for everything and buying ten ball capsule and seals plus a few surprises for the boys they were heading back to the Pokemon Center with wide smiles
"Wow Ashlyn-nee thank you" Max said as he tried on his new running shoes and book about normal type pokemon
"Yes thank you Ashlyn" Alain said as he ran a hand over his new leather journal that Ashlyn bought for him as well as a new jacket
"You're welcome we'll then let's head to dinner then" Ashlyn said smiling happily as she dressed Pikachu in a Charizard onesie he actually liked, gave Meowth a book about gadgets while May dressed Eevee in a Glaceon onsie
"Can we have ice cream after?" Max asked
"Depends you gonna eat all your vegetables?" Ashlyn asked back
"I will" Max promised
"Alright then but Meowth, Pikachu and Eevee will be checking beneath the table Max" Ashlyn said as they all went to the cafeteria
The next morning Ashlyn and Alain were supervising May and her Pokemon training before a boy with green eyes and green hair wears a black long-sleeved shirt, a purple jacket, a pair of teal trousers and black shoes walked up to May only to insult her and her pokemon making Ashlyn see red and if it weren't for Alain holding her arm he swore that boy would be black and blue in no time
"I think you should go" Alain said to the green haired boy
"Hm why would I?" he asked smugly
"Because if you don't, I have a Charizard, Lucario and Pikachu who would love to destroy anyone who insults our family members now leave before I make you" Ashlyn said as she glared coldly at the green haired boy making him shiver and walk away with a tsk
"Thank you Ashlyn" May said sighing before looking at her pokemon "Don't listen to him you're all amazing and we'll beat him no sweat"
"That's my baby sis, now back to training we have about an hour before we have to meet with Captain Stern in the museum" Ashlyn said smiling before she called her Altaria to help Beautifly with Aerial maneuvers while Eevee was training with Pikachu on speed and ability
After training they went or the center to get Max and then headed to the museum where they saw a huge crowd of people in front of it as well as a police line by the entrance which puzzles them all
"Ah children there you are" Captain Stern said waving them over and told the police to let them pass
"What was that all about Captain?" Max asked as he was led inside with in front of Alain while Ashlyn had May in front of her
"Team Aqua has been spotted around the museum because of the discovery of a precious artifact and everyone wants to look at it" Captain Stern sighed tiredly "Problem is I needed this device in order to translate it properly so that's why I had to wait before in bailing it"
"What is it?" May asked curiously
"A map to where the ancient Temple of the Sea use to be" Captain Stern said as he took the package from Ashlyn "Ah thank you now with this I can-"
Just then out of nowhere three cloaked figures appeared by the entrance 4 Poocheyena, 5 Zubat, and 6 Carvanha making everyone except Captain Stern bring out their Pokémon
"Charizard, Garchomp, Metagross get ready to attack if they do" Alain told his pokemon
"Hestia, Pikachu, Meowth, Treecko stand your ground alright Lucario protect Captain Stern" Ashlyn said before she glanced at her siblings who both looked scared but determined to help
"Max, May cover each other alright" Ashlyn said calmly
"Yes!" they said determination quelling their fears
"Aron can you stay back to protect Captain Stern too ok?" May said softly
"Taillow go get the police" Max instructed his flying type before she nodded and flew out the window
"Alright then let the games begin" Alain said smirking as when he saw Ashlyn smirk too
"Charizard Flamethrower, Garchomp Dragon Pulse, Metagross Flash Cannon and use Psychic to focus it all towards the Zubat and make sure nothing breaks" Alain said before they all launched their attacked then Metagross controlled the combination attack to avoid anything else but the Zubat who all got knocked out
"Hestia Thunder Punch, Pikachu, Meowth add to it with Thunderbolt, Treecko Bullet Seed! On the Carvanha" Ashlyn commands before Hestia flew forward her fist enveloped in lightning that was getting larger as Meowth and Pikachu added their own thunder to it while Treecko attacked any Carvanha trying to use any water attacks at Hestia and in almost no time all 6 Carvanha felt to the ground unconscious
"Torchic Crush Claw and accelerate by using Aerial Ace, Popplio Disarming Voice, Eevee Hidden Power!" May said before Torchic disappeared in a blur as Poochyena after Poochyena was attacked, Popplio let out a super effective fairy type attack and Eevee hit the rest with hidden power
" Mudkip, Castform Water Pulse on those that are still awake, Slakoth yawn" Max said finishing any that his older companions may have missed
"Stop this now" a deep gruff voice said before a dark skinned man with an x on his face wearing blue pirate like attire walked to the front
"Who is he?" May asked unnerved
"Oh where are my manners especially in front of such lovely young ladies, my name is Archie the leader of team Aqua and you all are causing such a disturbance in my plans but never the less perhaps some other day for now you young people better watch who your messing with" he said before the room filled with smoke
"Hestia /Charizard Blow this smoke away" Ashlyn and Alain said in unison
Once the smoke cleared the police were already there but Team Aqua disappeared with out a trace which infuriated them but surprisingly Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip were gone and in their places were a Grovyle, Combusken and Marshtomp
Marshtomp
The Mud Fish Pokemon
Marshtomp is much faster at traveling through mud than it is at swimming. This Pokémon's hindquarters exhibit obvious development, giving it the ability to walk on just its hind legs.
Combusken
The Young Fowl Pokémon
Combusken toughens up its legs and thighs by running through fields and mountains. This Pokémon's legs possess both speed and power, enabling it to dole out 10 kicks in one second.
Grovyle
The Wood Gecko Pokémon
The Leaves growing out of Grovyle's back are convenient for camouflaging it from enemies in the forest. This pokemon is a master at climbing trees in jungles.
"Thanks so much for your cooperation kids and Captain Stern" Officer Jenny said smiling before she left the young trainers alone
"Thank you again kids oh and young man would you mind taking care of this egg for me you see I found it at the abandoned ship near Dewford and well as you can see I have no time to take care of it" Captain Stern said almost apologetically as he handed Alain the Pokémon egg
"Oh of course Captain" Alain said smiling at the black and red egg
