Chapter 14

Family Matters

Mags wondered where Mudkip was, was he okay? Mudkip 061 popped up next to her.

'' Mud kip kip. Mud kip mud.'' (Don't worry. We'll find him.)

Mags patted Mudkip 031 on the head gently, as Mudkip 061 hopped onto her lap.

Mudkip 025 (yep... him) moaned a bit before wondering what just happened. Moving a piece of wood that was next to him, he got up onto his paws and headed out into the pile of debris. He was wondering if Mags got out okay. Pushing debris out of way, he made his way out of the twisted metal, wood, and concrete. Making his way into the crowd of pokemon.

Mudkip was surrounded my many species of pokemon. He was too busy wondering if Mags got out okay. He pushed dozens of pokemon out of his way to find her. He found her, cuddling with another Mudkip. Jealousy set in.

'' Mud kip kip! mud mud kip kip! mud?'' (You're okay! What a relief! What?)

Mudkip 061 looked at Mudkip 025. No words, just a grin.

'' Mud kip kip?'' (Who are you?)

Mags gasped, sighing in relief after she saw Mudkip, looking okay, but slightly jealous,'' Mudkip you're okay! I was wondering where you've been! Plus I need to tell you something... Mudkip, remember when you told me there are 60 mudkip in the warehouse base counting you?''

'' Kip.'' (Yes)

'' Well I've found the sixty first. I think it's somebody you may know...''

Mudkip was puzzled, who was Mags talking about? Mags moved out of the way and behind her legs was a female Mudkip. He had a feeling he knew who she was, but was it really true? It couldn't have been her, could it? Was it... her?

Mudkip wasn't really sure, he had to reply,'' Mud? Mud kip kip mud?'' (Sis? It couldn't be?)

'' Mud kip? mud kip?'', Mudkip 061 answered. (Brother? Is it you?)

There was a silence. Mudkip was overcome with disbelief... her long lost sister was... alive?

Then Mudkip 025 was overwhelmed with joy and worry,'' Mud kip kip mud kip!'' (I thought you were dead!)

Mudkip 061 shouted,'' Mud kip MUD mud kip!'' (I thought YOU were dead!)

'' Mud mud kip?'' (What happened you you?)

'' Mud kip mud kip mud mud kip mud kip.'' (I was put with other pokemon, instead with the Mudkip group.)

'' Mud kip!'' (You've grown!)

'' Mud kip, mud!'' (Come here, bro!)

They both gave each other a hug. After all these years they thought they didn't have a family at all, but they proved wrong. They were reunited again. Though orphans, they knew love was a powerful thing. They thought they were never going to see each other again, but this proved wrong.

They both smiled as tears trickled down their faces and gills, they were long lost brother and a sister looking for each other, as their tiny beating hearts began to fill with joy. Now nothing was going to tear them apart. Mudkip had to introduce her sister to his trainer. He immediately grabbed Mudkip 061's writs and walked up to Mags.

Mudkip 025 took Mudkip 061 to Mags,'' Mud kip mud kip kip. mud kip mud kip.'' (This is my trainer. Her name is Mags.)

Mudkip 061 smiled and waved at Mags. Mags knelt down to the two Mudkip's level.

'' Mudkip's told me about you. He was wondering what happened to you. I'm glad you two are back together.''

Mudkip 025 and 061 smiled and then hugged each other again. It was a family reunion. The rescued pokemon surrounded Mags and the two Mudkip's, wanting to get a good look of their heros. They went up to Mags and Mudkip to greet them and thank them for saving them. These were the only people they could trust.

They were surprised that this person bonded with a mudkip that doesn't trust humans, but now his trust went out to her and love kept them together. Mudkip pulled through the sad moments of his mother, when he lost her, and now he was reunited with his long lost sister. All of them were like a family, and they were so happy to be together.

They began hearing sirens coming from rushing police cruisers wondering of any arrests were going to be given, followed by the loud whoops from a couple of fire engines, speeding up to the driveway of the now pile of rubble, that used to be a rocket's secret base.

The pokemon scattered in confusion and fear, thinking that those noises meant trouble to them, fearing that they were going to be recaptured.

'' Calm down. These people are meant to help us, not harm us'', Mags said.

The pokemon listened to Mags, trusting her since she gave them freedom, and believing that she would never put them in harms way. They all calmed down, but a few were still frightened jittering, while the police arrested some rocket members and lead them to the back of their police cruisers.

An officer approached Mags. She wore a blue police outfit along with a skirt, worn on her hands were a pair of snow white gloves. Her hair was a turquoise blue, but was tied back, and sitting above her head was a medium sized officer hat, that matched along with her uniform. With a stern look on her face, she was in front of Mags, before asking the questions.

'' I am officer Jenny, and I wanna know what happened around this area'', the officer asked.

Mags stammered, fearing that she was going to be charged for what team rocket did,'' I-I-I'm in trouble, aren't I?''

'' Depends, what are you doing here?''

'' I was just rescuing some pokemon from team rocket.''

'' Team Rocket was here?''

'' Yes, I was kidnapped from two members. I'm just a pokemon trainer starting my pokemon journey with my Mudkip...''

'' Mudkip!'', Mags' little mudkip chattered. (Hello!)

Officer Jenny began to write down a few sayings from Mags. The pokemon surrounded Mudkip and Mags, wondering what was going to happen to their future. their fate was in Mags' hands.

'' Okay, uh-huh'', Jenny muttered, as Mags continued to talk.

Mags explained the horrid living conditions that the pokemon has been through, the torture that Mudkip told her about, their depressing life of being in crammed cages without freedom or space and no love to guide them. Jenny wrote down every single thing that Mags said.

'' Okay, I'll contact you to tell you the charges that team rocket has to go through in court'', Jenny said,'' You're an awfully brave trainer to got through that experience.''

Mags sighed, then looked at Mudkip from the corner of her eye,'' I had help from a friend of mine... a brave little mudkip.''

Mudkip heard mags words, he slightly blushed,'' Mud... kip...'' (Aww... Mags...)

Mags picked him up and hugged her little mudkip, as he too returned the embrace. Then they turned to the pokemon,'' Now about these guys...''

Mudkip smiled, as he looked at the pokemon they rescued, Mags was going to give them the life that they deserve...

TBC...
