Random Facts? Yeah, it's like what Breezy does.. you know her too? She's my favorite Pokémon fan fic writer… she likes hoennshipping, whatever that is! Oh, might as well give it up, it's the pairing up between Brendan and May in the games! So, here's the next chapter!

Here's a Random Fact of my Story:
Avegaille's last name was supposed to be Spellman and Phil's last name is Anderson, but I've changed it to Amethyst and Beryl, don't know why, but it took me a long time before I got used to the name... Avegaille Spellman and Philip Anderson are my original characters from my other fics.

Chapter 12 - Off To Mauville!

Outside Oceanic Museum, May was talking with her Pokémon and also waiting for Avegaille and Phil to get out of the building. Brendan on the other hand, was near the cliff, in which is blocked by a half-wall so that no one would fall, watching the horizon of the sea. Kipp was also with him, doing the same things as his trainer.

"I know something is wrong, everything else is so wrong around here!" Kipp ranted out. Brendan was looking at him surprisingly.

"What are you talking about?" Brendan asked his Pokémon. He looked directly at him.

" Well, let me see, first your friend Avegaille is a bit off her mind, then, I noticed she's taking interest on Phil, " Kipp started. " You on the other hand, although it's barely noticeable, are taking interest on May. Or is it that May is taking interest on you by hitting you with objects and annoying you? "

"It could be the last one, but I doubt it," Brendan pointed out as he turned around and looked at May. "But we still have a lot of things to do and..." He looked at his Pokémon.

" What? What's your goal, anyway? Why do we keep doing this? " Kipp asked, trying to find some answers.

"I want to be the Pokémon Champion in the Pokémon League," Brendan answered. He clenched his fists.

" I know you do, but when you'll do anything for this desire, you might not notice that you're already hurting other people, " Kipp said to him. " Just try to remember that... "

"Okay, I will," Brendan said and smiled at his Pokémon.

At a distance, May was also having a conversation with Terra. They didn't have much to talk about except that the fact that they were waiting for their other friends.

" Where in the world are your other friends? " Terra asked, getting irritated.

"Still inside the museum, I don't know what is taking them so long to-"

Before May could finish, Avegaille and Phil were already outside. Avegaille was still holding Ziggy in her arms and her Charlie is still near her legs. Phil looked at his Pokénav to see what time it was. Avegaille put down Ziggy on the ground so that she could see what else was in her backpack.

May went near Avegaille as Terra followed her. Both of them were curious about the items that Avegaille had in her backpack.

"Now what in the world is this?" Avegaille asked herself as she held out a device out from her backpack that almost looked like a Pokédex. "A Fame Checker? Now where in the world did this device came from?"

"Can I see it?" May asked as she took the device off Avegaille's hand. She pressed a few buttons and saw all the famous people listed in the device. "Hey look, my Dad is in this device."

" Ooh, let me see, " Terra said as May held the device a little lower so that Terra could see what was written in it. " Um, could you me a favor, I can't read human text... "

May looked at the Fame Checker and read the texts written in it. "Hmm, it says here, 'Petalburg City - Leader: Norman.... A man in pursuit of power.'"

" Is that all? " Terra asked, seeing that there isn't much any interesting fact there.

"Wait, there's more," May continued. "It says here, 'Norman had become our town's new gym leader. I think he called his family over from the Johto region.'"

" What else is in that weird device? " Terra asked.

On the other hand, Avegaille was having her other device problem on her own. She looked more into her backpack and saw another odd device.

"Okay, the Fame Checker is one thing, but I don't know what this VS Seeker does!" Avegaille exclaimed as she held up the VS Seeker in her hand.

"Did your mom placed all those devices there?" Phil asked as he went closer to Avegaille.

"Well, she did gave me this backpack before I started my journey," Avegaille replied as she handed the VS Seeker to Phil. "She also had an extensive history as a trainer."

"Maybe those devices are commonly used in Kanto," Phil concluded. He looked at the manufacturer written in the device. "Hmm, it's made by Sliph Co."

Brendan went near the three trainers, who are all getting all worked up at the new and odd devices that Avegaille had in her backpack. Kipp was also following him.

"What are you guys doing?" Brendan asked all of them. Everyone stopped at whatever they were doing and looked at him. "We've got to get to Mauville City, remember?"

May stopped looking at the Fame Checker and looked directly at Brendan. She looked at him in an annoyed way. "Why don't you lead then, if you know where we're going," she suggested sarcastically.

Brendan just tried to ignore May's statement as he looked at Avegaille and Phil, who were both looking at him, waiting for whatever he wanted to say. The glow of Avegaille's emerald eyes somehow was lost because of fearing that Brendan would be mad at her.

"Well, don't just stand there, let's go!" Brendan exclaimed as he walked off until he got out of Slateport. He didn't even noticed that Kipp was still with the other trainers who were left behind.

"Come on Terra, we have to go too," May said with a bit of disappointment as she looked at her Pokémon. She was still holding Avegaille's Fame Checker. May walked off as she tried to keep up with Brendan and as Terra tried to keep up with her trainer. Kipp also followed Terra so that he could at least catch up with his trainer.

As the other two trainers left, Charlie looked at Avegaille. He noticed his trainer is off her mind again. Ziggy was bit quiet, and didn't want to interrupt his trainer's issues. Kipp was also with them, watching them and also listening to them. Phil tried to make Avegaille snap out of her deep thinking.

"Hey, you okay?" Phil asked as he snapped his fingers in front of Avegaille's face.

"Huh?" Avegaille shook her head and looked at Phil. "Do you think Brendan doesn't like me?"

"Well, as a friend, no, but as something else, I can't answer that," Phil replied. "We have to go too, you know. We can take the Cycling Road if you have a bike."

"Wait, let me see." Avegaille began searching through her backpack and took out a folded bike. She unfolded the bike and saw what kind it was. "Hey, an Arco Bike!" She also saw the small tag attached to it.

"'To my new trainer, hope this bike and all the other devices in your backpack will help you in your adventure..... From Mom,'" Phil read out the small tag dangling on the handle of the bike.

Avegaille took off the tag and placed it inside her backpack. She was really happy that her mother would give her such devices. Then, she just realized that May still had her Fame Checker. Finally, she took out Ziggy's and Charlie's Pokéball so that she could send them back.

" Okay, but we'll be back later, after your route to Cycling Road, " Charlie warned his trainer as a joke. Red light flashed as he and Ziggy got inside their balls.

"I'm sure you will," Avegaille said as she laughed a little and clipped the balls in her belt. She placed her backpack on her back, with the straps attached around her arms.

Phil took out his Mach Bike from his backpack and set it up. When he was done, he climbed into his bike as Avegaille did the same. Then, the two of them cycled their way out of Slateport and into Route 110.

----

At Route 110, May and Brendan are way ahead of Avegaille and Phil, but since they didn't have a bike, they had to take the grassy road to Mauville. While the two of them walked to the grassy areas, they also trained their Pokémon there. Although Brendan and May aren't talking much to each other, they still watch out for each other. On the other hand, Avegaille and Phil are taking the Cycling Road, battling trainers as they pass by. When May and Brendan finally reached the end of the grassy patched, they saw that there were some people coming out of cycling road.

"Now, who could be going to Mauville besides us?" May asked as she saw the door of the Cycling Road opening. They had no clue that Avegaille and Phil had a bike.

"Whoever they are, they must have a bike," Brendan added.

The door opened as May and Brendan watched every single move. Then, a trainer came out of the Cycling road with a bike out of her control. May and Brendan were so shocked, they didn't even noticed who it was. Her bike tripped over a rock as she fell off, but her bike isn't even damaged and just fell on the ground.

"Oooww...someone help me get up..." Avegaille groaned as she tired to stand up.

"Avegaille?" May quickly rushed near her as she helped Avegaille up. "What happened and where did you get that bike?"

As Avegaille stood up, Phil came out the Cycling Road with his Mach bike, but it took him quite a while before he stopped. Brendan approached Phil, to ask him whatever is going on. Terra was behind May and wanted also to know what happened.

" I don't know how to say this, but what was that all about? " Terra asked as she looked at Avegaille and went closer to her.

Avegaille was still recovering from the pain when Phil got off his bike and rushed to Avegaille to see if she was all right. Phil told everyone what happened at Cycling Road...

Avegaille and Phil were doing fine at the Cycling Road. Both of them had battled a lot of trainers with Electric Types when something unexpected happened. One of the parts of Avegaille's bike was a bit loose, which made Avegaille lose her control over the bike.

"Phil...HELP!" Avegaille screamed as she held tight on the handle bars of her bike. Her bike still continued to run without stopping.

"Don't worry, I'm coming!" Phil called off as he pedaled on his bike to get to Avegaille faster. He was almost out of Cycling Road when he heard a loud thud from outside.

...After Phil told everyone the story, Brendan remembered that there was a Cycle Shop in Mauville. Kipp and Terra went near each other and talked what in the world are these humans talking about. Phil folded his bike and put it back in his backpack. Then, Avegaille picked up her bike laying on the ground.

"Hey, at least it's just a few minutes before four in the afternoon," May said to everyone as she looked at the time in the Fame Checker. "Now, why would a Fame Checker have a clock here?"

"A new version, I suppose," Avegaille piped in. "Do you like that thing? I know my mom gave to me but you can borrow it. I can't use it much anyway..."

"I'll take good care of it," May told Avegaille as she placed the Fame Checker in her waist bag. She looked at her Pokémon, Terra, who was talking with Kipp.

" You listen now here, I don't know what you're trying to say but whatever it is, it's certainly have something to do with our trainers, " Terra interrupted Kipp's sentence with irritation.

" No, I was just talking about the newest Pokémon show, " Kipp finally finished as he sweat-dropped. " I think it's held in the Hoenn Region. And it also has May in the show. "

"What are you guys talking about?" May asked the two Pokémon as she went near them.

" Um, nothing... " Kipp replied nervously. He looked at May, with his head starting to sweat.

" Just about that new series called Pokémon Advance Series, " Terra continued. She started to sing out the theme song. " A kid from Pallet town with a brand new world to see... "

" Could you please stop doing that? " Kipp said as he sweat-dropped again.

" But it's fun, " Terra exclaimed as she stopped sing for a while. Then, she continued with, " ...I wanna be a hero...hero...Pokémon Advance...I'm on my way... "

May and Kipp sweat-dropped as they watched Terra finished the song. Brendan on the other, was getting a little bit annoyed with the song. Avegaille was quite entertained, seeing a Pokémon sing like that.

"Come on, we have to go, it's just a few more distance to Mauville," Brendan reminded everyone as he called Kipp. Then, the two of them walked off.

"Latias, I forgot all about that!" May exclaimed as she ran off to follow Brendan.

"Hey, isn't Latias that sister of Latios?" Avegaille asked as she looked at Phil.

"Don't even start that again," Phil murmured as he sweat-dropped.

May didn't even noticed that she had left Terra behind, since she was too busy trying to follow Brendan to Mauville. Terra thought Avegaille and Phil would let her come with them.

" Hey, can I come with you? " Terra asked as she looked at Avegaille.

Avegaille looked around as she noticed that May isn't around them anymore. Then, she looked at Terra. "Sure, you can come with us, seeing that May forgot to make you come with her."

" Oh, goodie! " Terra exclaimed as she jumped up and down.

----

At Mauville City, how the high some building were, but there were still a lot of trees. The Cycle Shop was just near the Pokémon Center. Brendan and May went off to the Pokémon Center first to heal their Pokémon. But when they got there, May had forgotten about Terra. They were already near the counter with Nurse Joy waiting for their Pokémon.

"Oh, Latias! Terra...I forgot all about her!" May exclaimed as she was about to hand out the last Pokéball in her belt, with Brendan and Nurse Joy hearing. "She must be still with Avegaille and Phil."

"Well, aren't you a forgetful one?" Brendan asked sarcastically.

"Don't worry, I'm surely your friends will also come here," Nurse Joy said to May as she tried to comfort her.

End Of Chapter 12

Charlie (interrupting): What's this random fact all about?
Me (explaining): Well, it's something that what the authors really used in their story, but they changed it to something else....
Charlie (very confused): I still don't get it....
Me (getting annoyed): Oh, whatever...

Charlie (very confused): And who is Breezy?

.
Uh… might as well run away before she comes here to… uh, throw flamethrowers at us!

Charlie (very excited): But I like fire! I'm a fire Pokémon!

::sweat-drops:: Whatever… anyway, Breezy is a great fan fic writer I met at Serebii Forums before in … Well, I talk to her as much as I can, whenever possible in MSN Messenger.

Anyway, that's the end of Chapter 12, I think…
