Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. The Pokemon own me.

Yasuki yawned as she and Absol walked through the city.

"Slow day, ne Absol?"

Yasuki and Absol had been together for over a week now, and Absol had quickly (and quite literally) become Yasuki's partner in crime.

"So... you wanna get something to eat?"

"Sol! Ab absol!" translation: Yeah! I'm starving!

They found a fast food place and went in. As they got in line, Absol brushed against a trainer's Raticate.

"Caate! Ratta cate!!" the Raticate shrieked at its trainer.

"Hey!" said the trainer, poking Yasuki's back. "Your Absol just rubbed my Raticate the wrong way!"

"Oh yeah!" Yasuki snapped back. "Well, your Raticate should learn to move out of other Pokemon's paths!"

"Are you challenging me?"

"Oh, so now we're looking for a fight! Absol, use your slash attack and show this Raticate that it messed with the wrong team!" Absol slashed across the Raticate's face.

"Caaate!!" shrieked the Raticate. A thin line of blood trickled down its face.

"You... Raticate, use your... huh?" the trainer stopped mid- sentence as something touched his shoulder.

"You're under arrest for illegal Pokemon battling!"

It was Jenny, head of the local police force.

"Oh, whadda you want?" growled Yasuki.

This was not her first encounter with the law, and it was far from the last. Officer Jenny began listing their violations.

"Let's see... you were battling in a public restaurant, around lots of people that could have been hurt if one of your attacks misfired. Also, you could have destroyed public property. Let's see your licenses!"

The Raticate's trainer pulled out a small card for Jenny to inspect.

"This is your first violation. I'll let you off with a warning, but don't let this happen again!" she turned to Yasuki as the other trainer left. "And yours..."

"License, what license..." Yasuki seemed confused.

"Pokemon trainer's license... you do have one?"

"Uh, no..."

Officer jenny looked up and suddenly recognized the trainer. "Yasuki! Why are you even..." she looked down at Absol.

"Sol!" Absol howled.

"So we moved up from capture devices, now we're stealing Pokemon!?"

"You idiot! I did not steal Absol!" Yasuki was quick to defend her Pokemon.

"Then how did you get this one? I happen to know this breed is quite rare, especially around these parts." "Well, I... you tell her, Absol."

"Sol. Sol ab sol sol sol sol ab sol. Ab ab sol ab sol sol ab sool."

"Uh, yeah. Anyway, everyone knows you need a license to handle Pokemon. I think you might be a good trainer if you try. Come by my office and I'll give you the test. Think you'll be ready by tomorrow?"

"You bet! I'm gonna show you and everybody else what a good trainer I can be! Come on Absol, let's get home and study so I can pass that test!!"

Yasuki and Absol began to walk away.

"Hey, where do you think you're taking that Pokemon?" yelled Officer Jenny.

Yasuki turned around. "What?"

"You don't have a license! You can't have any Pokemon!"

"Uh oh, better make a run for it Absol!" Yasuki smiled defiantly. "See ya tomorrow, sucker! I'm gonna ace that test!"

Yasuki ran off, but Officer Jenny knew better than to try to stop her.

"That kid is a born troublemaker... well, I better get back too."
