Chapter 7:
Soon enough though, the light drizzle turned into a fierce downpour of raindrops, beating down upon the heads of the boy and girl. Lightening danced in the sky and thunder roared from the heavens as the boy looked around desperately for shelter. Like a bolt of lightening that struck the ground moments ago, the boy struck luck for he soon found a nearby cave. With great joy, the boy ran as fast as he could.
Wringing out his wet clothes as soon as he entered the small yet dry cave, the boy noticed a warm orange and yellow glow from around the corner. Curious, the boy walked the length of the cave and turned right; immediate horror sprung up to his face. For there was the girl . . .
With another boy.
After getting the his Pokéballs from the Pokémon center in a dash, Wally practically sprinted to the hideout of Archie, a look of determination plastered all over his face. Not caring who was watching, Wally kicked the dumpster that was concealing the hideout.
'Bad idea!' he thought in his head as he hopped up and down on one foot.
Finally ceasing the pain in his leg, Wally decided to use his brain and push the dumpster away from the door. Pushing it just far enough so he could slip inside, Wally entered the secret room, his emerald-green eyes daring back and forth for any movement. A dim blue light at the end of the hallway guided him down as if the green-haired trainer were enchanted by it. Without realizing it, Wally found himself in the main lobby of the secret room, staring straight ahead at the blue light. Reaching out, Wally poked the small blue orb that produced the light; the orb hissed at him and gave off a crackle before turning into a bright white illumination.
Wally blinked twice and snapped out of his daze. "What the . . .?" he murmured to himself as he rubbed his eyes. Since he was busy trying to clear his eyes from the annoying dots the obscured his vision, Wally didn't notice a shadow sneak up on him and grab him by the neck.
"Listen to me and don't panic otherwise it'll be your life," the voice said in a harsh whisper as he tightened his grip on the green-haired trainer.
"Of course . . . I won't . . . panic if . . . my life . . . is on the . . . line!" Wally managed to choke out in several small gasps.
From in front, Wally could hear the stranger sigh as he loosened his grip on him a bit.. "If I let go," the strange man began, "will you stay put for now?"
"Why, are you lonely?" Wally replied in a sarcastic manner.
"Be serious!"
"Fine, I will be, sheesh. People these days, can't take a joke."
The strange man let go of Wally and immediately, the green-haired trainer turned around. Like a reflex, Wally picked a Pokéball from his belt and enlarged it; he glared daggers at the man. "Take two steps back and don't move!" he ordered.
"I believe that was my orders for you," Archie replied in a cool voice. In a flash, he reached out and grabbed Wally's Pokéball from his hand with incredible speed and skill. "If you want this back, you have to listen to me first."
Wally snorted and shoved his hands in his pockets. "Fine," he said reluctantly, disgusted with the fact that he was taking orders from someone who wanted to supposedly kill him.
Archie nodded and walked around Wally towards the sleek metal table. "Now I suppose you have heard some nasty things from that devious rival of mine, Maxie am I right?"
"He told me that Brendan and you wanted to kill me," the green-haired trainer retaliated through clenched teeth. He shoved his hands in his pockets. "And I'm here to make sure that your plan fails!"
"Ah, it is so likely for the mouse to come to the mouse trap isn't it?" Archie remarked as he ran his hand down the coolness of the table. "The mouse always wants the cheese but he ends up getting snapped at am I right?" Wally growled at this part as Archie continued. "Now I suppose you are here to have your questions answers, to have that awful feeling in your stomach to be ceased? To wonder when and where will I strike? That, my dear boy, is not a question I choose to answer . . . but there is one thing you need to know." Archie sat down in his cushy black leather seat and rolled Wally's Pokéball between his hands. "Would you like to know?"
Wally's eyes followed his Pokéball carefully. "Depends on what it is . . ." he replied icily.
Archie threw Wally his Pokéball before answering. "As it turns out, Maxie isn't as trustworthy as you think . . ."

"Let me GO!" May squirmed as she tried to break free from the ropes that bound her together. "This isn't very nice to do to a lady . . . or a person younger than you . . . or anyone actually!"
Maxie chose to ignore the whining girl trainer as he dangled her fanny pank in front of her with a sick and twisted grin on his face. "No need to fear Miss Maple," he stated in his usual icy cool tone. "I just need you here to test my . . . experiment if you will."
"I don't take drugs!" May shouted automatically. "And don't you dare shove tubes up my nose!"
"Not that kind of experiment!" Maxie rolled his eyes at May's paranoia. "Now . . ." Snapping his fingers, a bright light shone down upon the girl trainer's head. A click was heard to the side of May; she turned her head and screamed for a loaded gun was pointed straight at her. "If you're smart," Maxie began as he started to walk backwards toward the staircase, "you won't move." He took a remote from his pocket and clicked it; an infra red light turned on at the top of the gun. "Just because I'm not here doesn't meant I'm not watching." And with that, the former Team Magma Leader turned around, leaving behind a scared and trembling girl.

Brendan though guessed that he wouldn't feel any pain nor guilt for cutting a Leppa in half not unless he slipped and missed, cutting off his finger somehow.
Placing the kitchen knife on the table and taking the seeds out, Brendan took a slice and bit into it with a satisfying crunch. Still munching away, Brendan turned his attention towards the knife and grimaced; he was getting sick of the damned thing. He only shrugged though as he took a final gulp of his first slice. Before starting on his other though, he placed the dirty knife in Wally's kitchen sink with a gratifying clank.
"Latios, I'm bored," Brendan complained as he sat back down on the wooden chair. He picked up the other half of the Leppa and bit into it. Smirking, Brendan began to chew to the theme of Pokémon Advanced, the Animé.
An annoying tap on the window broke the rhythm though. Angry with the thing that dared ruin his beat, Brendan put on his nastiest face and glared cold daggers at the perpetrator. This expression though quickly changed to a bewildered one as soon as he saw who was knocking on the window.
"Maxie . . ." he muttered under his breath.
"I'd hate to wake up to that everyday," Maxie chuckled to himself. "Though, I don't think May will have to anymore if you catch my drift . . ." Unlike last time, Maxie was dressed in an overlarge trench coat with a large brown hat that covered his eyes.
Still freaked out by the fact that the most wanted man in the Hoenn Region was out in plain sight knocking on his window, Brendan nevertheless got up from his seat and walked out the door to meet Maxie.
"What are you doing here?" was the first question uttered out of the boy trainer's mouth.
"I believe, Mr. Birch, that there is something I need to tell you . . . About Wally Wood . . . and your girlfriend May."

Wally's heart began to race inside his chest as he fled out of the hideout in a hurry, more worried about his friend than his own health at the moment. Skidding across the concrete sidewalk, the green-haired trainer stopped in front of the alley where archie directed him to go. He hesitated for a minute before dashing straight into the alleyway with incredible velocity; he turned right towards the staircase. Wally began to panic and rush as he pulled out his flashlight from his backpack, causing him to fumbling with it beforehand. Turning it on, the emerald-colored boy practically flew down the steps.
"May!" he shouted as he stepped on the last stair. His voice echoed throughout the room. "Are you here?"
". . . Wally?" a meek and hushed voice answered. "Is that you?"
Wally hopped off the last step and slowly walked around the semi-cramped underground room. His jade-green eyes rested on a bright white light from around the corner. With a small shrug from his shoulders, Wally turned the corner and saw May bound by the legs and arms by thick rope. A gun held up by a stand was directed at her head.
"Latios! Are you okay May?!" Wally demanded to know. He rushed right over to the girl trainer and dropped to his knees.
"Can't move, motion sensor, will shoot," May replied through clenched teeth.
It was then Wally saw a blinking red light on top of the gun. "Not a problem," he remarked as he crept over to May's behind. "Alright now . . " With a quick side quick towards the gun, Wally dove on May in case his plan backfired. Luckily it didn't seeing as Wally's kicked pushed the stand holding the gun to its side. The gun gave off a loud bang all the same as it was fired.
Wally sighed in relief as he pulled May away from the smoking gun. "Now are you okay?" he asked softly as he began to untie the ropes at May's hands.
May nodded, still jumpy from the loud gunshot.
"Almost done," Wally remarked as he finished untying the last of the knots at May's feet. With another sigh of relief, Wally threw the ropes behind him as May turned around to face him. He couldn't help but notice the strange look in May's eye. "Uh, May . . . are you alright?"
May didn't seem to hear him as she continued to gaze into his sparkling emerald-green eyes.
Wally was beginning to get nervous as he waved a hand in front of the girl trainer's face. "May . . . is anyone home? Hello . . .?"
After a few restless moments of silent staring, May suddenly jumped on Wally and hugged him. "Oh Wally, thank you for coming and saving me!" she cried as she buried her head into his button-up white t-shirt.
Wally lost his balance and fell backwards, landing on the hard dirt ground. "Ouch . . ." he groaned as May continued to cry on him. "May . . . are you sure you're okay? I mean, all three of us have been in worse predicaments than this and we probably have more worse ones to come after all . . ."
May sighed and pulled herself up. Noticing that Wally was on the ground as well, she pulled him back up by his shirt. "You okay?" she asked worriedly, her sapphire-blue eyes filled with compassion.
"Uh . . . yeah, I'm fine," Wally replied slowly, brushing the dirt off his back. He looked back into May's eyes, confused. "Seriously, you didn't get brain damage or anything? Because you're kind of-"
A pair of warm lips stopped him mid-sentence. The green-haired trainer's eyes widened at this as May pulled back and beamed at him. A small tingle remained on Wally's lips and he pressed a finger there. "What was that-"
Again, Wally was interrupted by the same pair of soft lips that crashed into his own. But this time, they didn't pull back but stayed instead. Now to be truthful, Wally didn't have any feelings for May anymore; she was more of a close friend if anything. But he was always still curious what it was like to kiss her all the same . . .
He figured though that it could of been a better time for it. Especially now when Brendan bellowed,
"You're dead meat Wood!"
Uh oh! What's going to happen to Wally now?! I know! You don't. P
