Both of the teenagers ran toward the boss office, John leading the way.
What they didn't know was that the boss had a very special assignment in
store for them...
"John, how many time will I need to tell you not to run in halls." the boss's assistant, known among the Aqua as Ms.Perfect for her perfect behavior was, as always, complaining about John's behavior."
"Yeah, next time I won't run.is Archie here ?"
"Yes he's in his office.go on proceed."
"Thanks, see ya !" John got closer to Brendan's ear and whispered "Come on let's not stick around here to long. I don't want her to write another negative report on me."
John almost dragged Brendan in the boss office because he didn't want to spend more time with Ms.Perfect, for obvious reasons.
"Hi Brendan, long time no see" they both shook hand. They were both happy to see each other again. During Brendan's quest to become a master, the boy had helped Archie by defeating a huge amount of Team Magma Member, and Archie helped him by giving him tips and helping him when Team Magma tried to pick up on the teenager. Like the proverb says: the ennemies of my ennemies are my friends. That's how you could describe their relationship, as friends.
John was surprised by his boss's behavior. He was acting friendly and was happy to see Brendan. Most of the time, Archie locked himself in his studyroom planning future missions or was on the 'battlefield' supervizing and, rarely, participating to battles. He was considered as anti-social. John interrupted his thoughts, knowing it was getting him nowhere and resumed listening to the conversation.
"So, Brendan, this will be your new uniform" Archie handed him large pants, a sailor-like t-shirt and an odd looking hat.
The boss noticed the look on Brendan's face when he received the costume. Another one who didn't like the team's uniform.
"Yeah, I know there's still work to do with the look but ut is made to be highly resistant and to not get in the way of my members when they're on a mission."
"I'll get used to it, I guess"
"Ok great, now let's get back to business. I've an assignement for you two. You will work as a team to attack a Team Magma truck when they will stop.at a gaz station just outside of Mauville City. The cargo of this truck is items stolen from the pokemart in Rustbore City late last night. If your attack is succesfull, tie the Magma guarding the truck and continue to Mauville City. There, abandon the truck at the police station. The truck must still contain all the goods, even if they are all broken. We evaluate the Magma to have between one to three grunt protecting the vehicule. There's no executive so it should be a piece of cake for you guys. If you fail to take the truck, there's a backup team near Mauville entrance. Do you have any questions ?"
"No" both of the teenagers responded at the same time.
"Ok then, prepared yourselved, you need to leave the base at 8:00 p.m.
Both of the teenagers exited the office. John led Brendan to his new room. The room was small but had everything a teenager could need. There was a TV, a sofa, a bed, a PC terminal and a small library. The right wall of his room was a giant aquarium were various type of water pokemon swam. It was trully a sight for sore eyes. John noticed the look on Brendan face when he saw the look on Brendan's face as he looked at the aquarium-wall.
"Amazing isn't it, my room is next to yours so my left wall is exactly like yours. You see, in the basement and on the roof, there's pools where you can release your water pokemon. Archie wanted to connect to two pools together so he made six huges tubes that connects them. What is between our room is a part of one of those tubes."
"Wow, it's great"
"Yeah, well I'll go take a quick nap. If you need anything, just knock at my door, I live next door to the right, see ya at eight"
"Bye"
The two hours passed really quickly and ,soon, they where in a small blue car driving to catch up with the Magma truck. It would take them about three hours to get to destination.
During the drive, both boys were silent. John was trying his best to drive the car and Brendan was thinking about the mission.
"Ok I see the truck, stop John"
"Okay"
They got out the car and hide it behind a large tree.
"Let's sneak up between them just to how many grunts there is. Take advantage of the darkness to hide yourself. After, let's release the same number of pokemon that there's grunt. Don't choose any heavy pokemon, go for speed this time. Don't choose any pokemon that emits light because I won't to avoid a direct pokemon battle since we can be outnumbered if they are more than us."
Both of the both began the silently inspect the mission goal. There was only two grunts.
"Piece of cake" Brendan was confused by the fact the grunt didn't seem to be protecting anything. Team Magma was not known for his intelligence but they knew better than this. Even if he had his doubts, he still had to get the mission done.
"Ok fine, I'll release Breloom on the grunt to the left"
"I'll release my Manectric on the one to the right"
"Let's go"
Breloom quickly jump to where to grunt was to perform an headbutt. At the same tine, Manectric attacked using 'quick attack'.
The last thing the grunt could here before fainting was to faint sound of two opening pokeballs.
"We got them !" Brendan was really enthousiatic about his first win in Team Aqua"
"Yeah, great plan Brendan, now let's tie them up and drive the truck to Mauville" John was a bit surprised because the teamwork with Brendan seemed so natural. If someone would a seen their little fight with the Magma they would have thought they practiced it many times before to reach this co- ordination. Maybe Brendan felt the same way that. He would have to ask him later on.
The teenagers placed the two grunts at the back of the truck. John was in the driver's seat and Brendan, not knowing how to drive, was guarding the Magma.
Little did they know, Team Magma had other plans for them.
