Wow after… ::counts:: two weeks, here's finally an update! Okay now that you can't do the script format thingie, […] is what is said by Brendan, -…- is said by May and mine is just… normal… ya… let's just hope that this will work…

[You are so lazy, TWO WEEKS FOR ONE UPDATE! IT'S THE SUMMER YOU KNOW!!??!]

-.- Well actually, my mom only let me go on the computer a hour each day for the last week… She said that I had to 'study' for my music theory exam… Which I really suck at and fail the test… ::sigh::

[O.o okay then…]

Well, thanks for all the reviews, especially on the tactic May use, I guess the sacrifice was worth it after all…

Vanti- hehe sorry about that, it's just to make May and Brendan have something to argue about about, I won't do it anymore… I hope…

Jordan- Um… can you point out the typos? I can't find them… I didn't think I would get any since I use spell check…

[…]

[…]

Wow, so quiet without May. You don't say anything.

[So don't you…]

Yup…

[…]

[…]

Do the disclaimer…

[Okay]

Disclaimer- If Icy-chan DID own Pokemon, do you think that she'll be here writing or taking a vacation? Pokemon is owned by… whoever owns it… Nintendo or the guy who made it? What's his name? Satoshi something… I dunno… and Wandering Gamer owns Mia.

Oh, and Vokteren, originality? Hmm… okay…

---------------------------------------------------Chapter 14---------------------------------------------------

The three trainers entered the damp cave. The soil they were walking on was soft and kind of sticky. Suddenly, they heard a voice.

"Hehehe, you finally came, eh?" the male voice called out.

"Huh?" asked the trainers and walked to the voice.

"Hmm, I guess you found me," The man said.

"So?"

"Well, I am Team Magma Grunt, Jason!" The man revealed.

"…"

"Aren't you scared?!?!?"

"No, what do you expect? Us screaming on top of our lungs?" May answered sarcastically.

"Um… ya…"

"Ah," The three trainers responded sarcastically.

"… So, you're after this useless pokemon and the goods, eh?" Jason asked.

"Ya," They answered unexcitedly.

"Well, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN! HAHAHAHAHA!" Jason said as he ran out of the cave.

"What's wrong with him?" May asked as they followed him out of the cave.

"After we catch him, I think we should send him to the mental hospital," Brendan suggested.

As Jason tried to run away, he knocked Mr. Brimley and the Devon worker over.

"Come back, you thief!" The two called as they got up and ran after him with the trio.

Jason was a fast sprinter and soon, he became out of sight.

"We lost him!" Wally said.

Brendan and May nodded in response, "I think someone should guard the entrance of the city," May suggested.

"We will," volunteered the adults.

"Okay, we will go after him then, let's go," May said and ran to the direction Jason went.

==========

Meanwhile with Jason…

==========

Jason turned back to see if those three pesky kids were following him, 'Haha, too fast for them,' He thought as he jumped over a fence and bashed into someone coming out of the school.

"Watch where you're going!" He told the person as he got up. As he looked at whom he had run into, he gasped. "Miss. Mi-"

"Shh!" Mia interrupted and put a finger on her lips telling him to keep quiet.

Jason bowed, "I am sorry," He said.

"What are you doing here?" She asked in a slightly angered voice.

"Boss said that we protect the goods from Devon, we know that your father owns it so we are protecting it!" He answered.

"Those goods are very important to Devon! Give them back!" Mia told him.

"Yes, ma'am," He said handing over the goods to her.

"No, the trainers that were chasing you! Give them an easy battle and hand over the goods!" Mia told him.

"May I ask why, Miss. Mi- " Jason started.

"Just do it and don't make it seems so suspicious, there's a dead end at that fence, run to the dead end, battle them and give it back! Don't tell them that I told you to. After meet me at Petalburg forest!" Mia told him.

"But loosing to those stupid kids will ruin the reputation of Team Magma!" Jason said.

"Those kids are my friends, I know that they won't brag about that!" Mia almost screamed.

"Yes, ma'am," He answered as he ran off.

"Then do what I say, they're coming!" Mia said and hid in the school and spied on them through the window.

==========

Back to the trio…

==========

"Hey, look! There he is!" Wally spotted the grunt.

"Let's go!" Brendan said and turned to follow the grunt.

"Look! It's a dead end!" Wally pointed out.

"Then we can have a fair battle to get the goods back!" Brendan said.

"Hehe, looks like you found me, I have no choice other than to battle! Go Poochyena!" He called out.

"I'll take him on, go Muddy!" Brendan sent.

"Growl, Poochyena!" Jason ordered.

"Water gun!"

As the dog like pokemon simply growled, the water type took advantage and sprayed his water gun at him.

"Poochyena, tackle!"

"Muddy, water gun again!"

The poochyena charged at the mudkip but it washed it away with its water gun, soaking the poochyena.

"Pretend to faint, poochyena," Jason whispered. The dog pokemon obediently fell over, pretending to faint.

"Fine, have your stupid goods and pokemon back, we don't need them!" Jason said as he returned the wingull and goods to the trainers and ran away.

"Here you go," May said as she gave the goods back to the worker.

"Thank you. Do you mind if you co-" The worker started.

::Huff puff:: "Peeko!" ::Huff puff:: "are you," ::Huff puff:: "Okay?" ::Huff puff:: The tired Mr. Brimley asked. The bird nodded its head in response.

::Huff puff:: "Oh, thank you," ::Huff puff:: "so much," ::Huff puff:: "I am Mr. Brimley that lives in the cottage by Petalburg woods, if you need any help, come by and maybe I can help you." He said and left.

"As I was saying, will you three come with me to meet our boss?" The Devon worker asked.

"Sure," They answered and followed the worker into the large building.

==========

Back to Jason and Mia

==========

"I want to talk to Maxie right now!" Mia ordered.

"Yes, Ma'am," He said as he dialed his boss's number into his pokenav.

"It is my honey!" Maxie's voice came through the pokenav.

Mia frowned and didn't say anything in return.

"Hmm… unexpected call… I thought you were busy with your studies, I don't want to interrupt my baby's studies, when she's working so hard, do I?"

"You already did! You sent people to steal papers and goods from daddy's company!" Mia said calmly.

"I'm sorry, honey-buns, I wasn't trying to steal, my men were trying to protect them! We got news that Team Aqua wanted to steal them so I wanted to look after them!"

"You're not lying, are you?" Mia asked playfully.

"No, here, how 'bout dinner tonight at seven for an apology?" Maxie asked.

"I got guests at six though,"

On the screen, Maxie and Mia exchanged expressions. Now, Maxie was pouting, "So, I'm not more worthy than those guests you have?" He asked in a sad tone.

"Ya, you're not as worthy," Mia joked.

"Then I'll be alone tonight, with no one! I'm scared of the dark!" He pretended putting on his puppy dog eyes.

Mia smiled, "Fine, I'll come at seven,"

"Okay, see you at seven! Bye, honey-buns! Love ya!" Maxie said as he pretened to kiss her.

"Bye, love ya too!" Mia said as she returned one to him. She turned off the pokenav and walked back to the Devon building.

==========

In the building

==========

"They saved me TWICE, boss, TWICE!" The Devon worker said and put up two fingers for his boss to see.

"I would like to see these teenagers," He answered.

"I'll go get them!" The worker replied excitedly.

"So?" The trio asked when the trainers saw the worker.

"He said he wanted to see you!" The worker said as he walked back to Mr. Stone.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Stone," The three trainers said like they were greeting a teacher when they were in kindergarten.

"Hohoho, no need to be so formal, what are your names?" He asked.

"I'm May,"

"I'm Brendan,"

"And I'm Wally,"

"I would like to thank you for saving our workers," Mr. Stone said, "You don't mind if you deliver these goods to Slateport, and this package Steven, he's in Dewford?"

"No, sir," The trio answered.

"Thank you, of course, I wouldn't be so cheap and not do anything in return, I would like to give you our newest product, the Poke navigator, Pokenav for short."

"Thank you,"

"Then I guess I don't have to waste my time begging daddy for one of those for you," Mia's voice said.

"Mia?"

"Hi, sorry for listening to your conversation," Mia said

"That's okay,"

"Daddy, these are my guests tonight," Mia said.

"Ah, these are your friends?" Mr. Stone asked.

"Yup,"

"Well, why don't you stay for tea too?"

"Okay,"

==========

At 6:50 pm (After dinner)

==========

"Daddy, remember that I asked you about going on a journey to become a pokemon researcher?" Mia asked.

"Yes, but you need badges to travel, without badges, you can only travel to the two towns closest from here. Well, unless you have someone with a badge to accompany you," Mr. Stone answered.

"Yes, I want to go with my friends,"

"Hmm… Very well, you can go with them, then do you three mind?

"No, Mr. Stone, we are glad to help Mia out," Wally answered as he smiled.

Mia checked her watch, "Oh, my! Look at the time, excuse me, I need to go, I'm very sorry!"

"It's okay, we'll be fine, we have to leave by nine anyway, the Pokemon center doesn't let trainers in after then," May said.

"Why don't you guys stay at my house tonight," Mia asked.

"Really? Thanks!" Wally said.

"But our stuff is already at the center," Brendan pointed out.

"I can send someone to get it for you," Mr. Stone said.

"Thanks, Mr. Stone, but we can get it ourselves after dinner, I need to heal our pokemon anyway," May said.

"Well, I'll be back around 9," Mia said.

"Bye!" The rest of them waved.

"Bye!" Mia answered.

Notes:

==========

For this story, Maxie and Archie's ages would be 19 (or somewhere around18-25) and Steven's would be around 17 (or somewhere around 16-20).

Mia is shy but if she considers you as her friend, she will almost a completely different person, she is a fun person to be around once you know her.
