Twisted Realities

by Kyoto-chan

A/N: Wai…I've finally updated...x.x; I've been recently exposed to CCS (again--with ExT dreams carrying fic ideas to neglect TR, sadly) and something that most have not even heard of, so...I won't say anything about it. (Those at the HSing thread should know...)

So...I'll start writing again.

Disclaimer: Kyoto doesn't own Pokemon, and didn't get it for her birthday (which was yesterday), either. -.-;

"Sir...come in, sir!" a voice said, looking into her PokeNav.

She was undoubtedly the "doctor" that took care of Brendan.

Crackle...sizzle..."Yes, hello?"

"Sir, our plan has worked, as well as phase two! Birch is in the coma, and Maple's still thinking that she can defeat us! But sir...what's phase three?"

Archie snickered into the PokeNav from afar.

"I put it in your pack before you left. But what it's for will be revealed soon enough."

The woman, now known as Mizu, sighed, looking back into the dim light of the room Brendan was in with May, and glanced at her PokeNav unsure. Sure, she was a part of Team Aqua, but she never wanted anyone to get hurt. She looked in her pack, and saw a small unfamiliar case and opened it, seeing there was a syringe with some medicine in it. Mizu knew that it should be something dangerous, so she didn't touch it and just closed the case, placing it back where she found it.

"What is he planning?"

"May, where are you going?" a half-asleep Max yawned, wiping his eyes of the sleepy sand.

May shushed him, and said, "Max, don't say anything about this to mom and dad, okay? I'm going to do something dangerous..."

"Dangerous like the time you wanted to go bungee jumping?"

"Yes, Max, like the time I wanted to go bungee jumping."

"Can I come?" Max pleaded.

May sighed, "Sorry Max. You can't come. I'm going to go face Archie."

"Archie...as in Team Aqua Leader Archie?"

"Yes Max, that guy."

"But May! It's too dangerous! Last time you and Brendan went to battle him, you ended up with a gun aimed for your head! You're just lucky Brendan knocked it out of his hands!"

May's eyes faced the ground. She remembered that life-threatening experience, and how Brendan blushed once she hugged her savior. That was perfectly what could be said about when she first realized her feelings. She shook it off, once Max's voice of "May? Hello? May, anyone there?" came into her earshot.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Oy, I was afraid you'd fainted while standing up! I thought you could've been a robot that ran out of batteries!"

"Max, lay off the sci-fi. By the way, you're old enough to know that your big sis isn't a robot."

"Hmm...good point!"

"But Max...promise me you won't tell mon and dad."

"Fineeee."

"Thanks. Bye!"

Max sighed, plopping himself on the couch as his mother and father slept peacefully, and his sister left the door. It was in the middle of the night, and he was not about to fall asleep. So he decided to call his good friend, Vivi Winstrate! (A/N: OMFG. That just reminded me of my good friend Vivi. xDD)

"Hi Vivi? You asleep?"

"Of course not! Why would I be sleeping when it's already three freaking o'clock in the morning!" came the sarcastic shout of his female friend through the PokeNav he received from President Stone.

"Jeez, sorry! I just...can't sleep."

Vivi's tone softened. "Why not?"

"My sister just ran away."

"HUH!"

"Just kidding. She went off in search of Archie, and doesn't want our parents to know."

"Ahh...I see. And you're telling me this...why, exactly?"

"You're the only one I can trust with this secret. You must absolutely, positively not tell your brother Vito, or your grandma, or even your parents! They might call May and try to talk her out of it. She's bent on rescuing Brendan."

"Her boyfriend, right?"

"Yep, 'cept she'd never admit it in a million years." Max chortled.

Vivi giggled on the other end of the phone. "So...bye Max. I need to wake up super-duper early tomorrow."

"Okay...Bye."

Max's call ended with a ping when he pressed the End Call button.

He sighed, hoping his sister would be okay.

May called out her trusty Altaria and petted its wings softly.

"Hi there, buddy! Could you give me a lift to Lilycove?" May smiled sweetly, already in the passenger-area she was so familiar with.

The Altaria trilled happily, and flew up, flying all the way to Lilycove, home of the Pokemon Contests.

May walked over to the coast, and returned the Altaria into its PokeBall. She looked carefully for the old hideout--since it was closed, it was definitely a good hiding place. She remembered Brendan's adventure into the Magma hideout--which the entrance/egress was activated by the Magma Emblem he found on the ground. She was sure that the Aqua hideout now acted the same way, and her, being a former member of Team Aqua, knew she could get it.

"Come out, Azumarril!" May called, throwing the PokeBall in the air.

A rabbit-like Pokemon came out in a white flash, and jumped in the water, its back towards May. The female trainer hopped on the Pokemon and then headed for the cavern. A rumbling came once she approached it, and a door opened. May entered, just eager to face whatever was awaiting her.

A/N: Yep...this was definitely a filler chapter. -Fiery throws shoe at Kyoto- Itai. Anyway, R&R this update! And remember, flames fed to Fiery!
