Chapter 17: The Secret Destroyed

Max and Whitey head to an abandon pool on the other side of the town. The pool was filled with algae and brown palms from the palm tree, but Max knew it was the prefect place. He knew it was the perfect place to hide Mio.

"Do you think this is a good place?" said Whitey looking around. "Should be," said Max, "I heard this pool haven't been used in like two years. "I remember that," said Whitey, "They shut down the pool because, Pokemon kept getting into it and it's a person pool not a Pokemon/Human pool." "Picky," said Max.

Max put Mio into the pool. Mio jumped in and vanished beneath the algae. "We should check the pool every day," said Max, "You know, to see if he's doing fine." "Do you know what we should feed him?" said Whitey. "I have been given him crackers," said Max, "But we should find him something else."

15 days later after the hurricane, Max and Whitey have been checking on Mio and keeping a low profile so Max's sister doesn't wonder what's Whitey is doing. Max has been fishing out little Magikarp and feeding them to Mio every 2 days because Mio is pretty small and needs about 2 days to eat it all. Other then feeding Mio, nothing was pretty amazing.

Max sat in his hospital bed reading, "Raising Pokemon as Pets for Dummies". May walk in smiling. "Max!" she said happily, "You wouldn't believe it! Someone loves me and he just told me!" "Who?" said Max. "It's…" started May, "What's with the book?" Max put it away and said, "Just want to read, so who is this guy?"

Ronjad burst in panting and clutching his chest. "Major problem!" said Ronjad, "We found Sakura on the beach (This chapter takes place during the same time as last chapter) meet me tonight at the jail May for a special meeting, you are invited and I'll tell everyone later about the meeting!" Then he took off. "Sakura?" said May, "Sakura!" Then she ran out of the room.

2 days later after that, Max feed Mio at the pool. "Where is Whitey?" said Max, "He should be here by now." Max heard a noise. He turned around. No one was visible.

Whitey ran down the path, holding a notebook. "Should have been there 20 minutes ago," said Whitey, "I got to show Max what I found!" All of a sudden, someone jumped in front of him. "Give me the notebook," said the person. Whitey froze in place. "Have it you way," said the person. The last thing Whitey remembered was passing out.

Max check his watch again, then looked around again. No sign of Whitey. "Where the hell is he?" said Max. "Over here!" said a voice. Max jumped a bit. May was coming near him.

"I finally the perfect spot!" said May. May and the pilot walked near the pool. Max dove behind a bush. "So what did you want to tell me?" said May dreamily. The pilot smiled, "You know what I want." May blush deeply. "That's just sick," said Max.

The pilot and May sat there for a while until the pilot saw something. "That cooler looks like its Max's," he said. May walked towards it, "Yeah, maybe this is where he and his friend go to hang out." Max gulped, he hoped they didn't look around to see if he was here.

A splash came out of the pool. Max looked towards the pool, the pilot and May walked over towards the pool. "Do you think there is anything in there?" said May. "I'll check," said the pilot. He dove in, then all of a sudden a flash appeared in the pool.

"Are you ok?" said May. No respond came at all. Not even air bubbles from the pilot under the water. May kept staring at the water. Then sudden floated to the top of the water. It was the pilot faced down in the water. May screamed.

10 minutes later, the ambulance came for the pilot. Max hid in behind some planks for a new house, because he was to close to the scene. He watched as they haul the pilot into the ambulance and drive off down the road.

Max turned toward the pool. Did Mio do that? Did he shock the pilot? Max ran towards the pool. He looked in, there was nothing in it he could see. No Mio, no nothing.

A sound came from behind him. Max turned around. It was Mio running up to him. Max looked at him, then back at the pool. How did he get out without anyone seeing him? Another splash came from the pool. Max looked again. He couldn't believe what he saw.

Ronjad walked down the road out of town towards the jail. "Finally!" said Ronjad, "A break from that spying of Sakura thing." Ronjad looked at the jail, "Why do I have to check on the prisoners? " said Ronjad, "Because Ash and Melody are out at the cove and May is by the pilot's side at the hospital."

Riche spied on Sakura with Lovrina with binoculars in a tree house. "Why are we doing this?" said Riche. "If you want to be a member of our group as a researcher, you have to take notes on this spy thing," said Lovrina impatiently, "So keep writing!"

Riche lost interest in Sakura and looked around with pair of binoculars. He looked around. Then he spotted something weird. Riche took a closer look at it. It was a kid laying in the dirt, and if remember right, it is Whitey.

"I'm taking 5," said Riche jumping from his spot. "Be back soon!" said Lovrina, "We are moving to a new spot soon!" "Ok," said Riche.

Riche ran towards Whitey laying in the dirt. Whitey groaned and mumbled, "Must get notes back." "What notes?" said Riche looking around. Whitey mumbled, "Notebook." Riche took another look no sign of a notebook.

"What about a notebook?" said Riche. "Important notebook," said Whitey, "It's about M… need to show Max it." "Show what?" said Riche. Whitey pulled out a page of loose-leaf paper and gave it to Riche. "Get this to Max," mumbled Whitey and he passed out.

Max ran down the path. "Need to tell Whitey!" said Max. A shadow figure jumped in front of him. "Where is it!" said the figure. "What?" said Max. "You know what!" said the figure. "Hey!" shouted someone, "You! Stop!" The figure took off. The other person came running up to him. It was Ronjad.

"There you are!" said Ronjad, "Your sister is going crazy over what happened to the pilot and who was the person?" "Beats me," said Max, "My sister is going nuts?" "She is driving me fricken crazy!" said Ronjad, "You're her brother, see if you can get her to stop her crap talking!" "You are asking the wrong the person who can make her shut her up," said Max. "You're going anyways," said Ronjad grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the hospital.

Max was in the pilot's hospital room. May was crying a storm. "I told you," said Ronjad. "Wow," said Max, "She's worse than I thought." "Worse?" said Ronjad, "She went through 12 tissue boxes and everyone is saying they're running out of tissue boxes."

Max walked towards May. "Don't worry," said Max, "He'll be ok." May stopped crying and turned towards him. She looked like she was going to explode into tears his face. "He was the one!" she said crying and hugging Max. "What do you mean?" said Max. "He's the one I…" started May, but Riche ran in panting. "Good I found you!" said Riche, "Whitey is in here and is asking for you, Max."

When Max and Riche entered, Casey was in the room holding Whitey's hand. When Casey saw them enter, she dropped Whitey's hand and blushed. "I was just checking his pulse!" said Casey quickly. "But he is awake and alive," said Riche confused. "Yeah, but…" said Casey, "Ah, gotta go!" Then she ran out.

Whitey looked ok. The dirt from his face was cleaned, his circle scars on his legs and arms where cover with bandages, because they bleeding when he was found. Whitey gave Max the OK sign.

"My parents were here a few moments ago," said Whitey, "They thought they lost me like the night of the hurricane a year ago." "Yeah," said Max, "But your ok." Riche thought a bit then asked, "Where there any lights in the water during or after the hurricane?" "Yeah," said Whitey, "Lots of them, a bunch of people saw them." Riche was quiet, then pulled out a notebook and started to write in it and left them.

"Anyway," said Whitey, "I have to show you something, it on the nightstand." Max looked at the stand and saw a paper. Max picked it up and looked at it and read it.

It said, "Dead Wailord/Creature on beach of White Island been seen 12/28/06 connection with Mio found 12/12/06? Creature similar to Mio and the Wailord/Creature has been seen near Lilycove City 3/7/02, and Vermillion City 7/18/89. Are these all connected? I yet to discover the answer. Whitey."

Max looked up from the paper at Whitey. "What?" said Whitey, "I have a lot of time, and I wanted to know if anyone else besides us and all of your friends knew about these creatures." "Well," said Max, "I got to you something."

He told Whitey about May and the pilot and pilot ending up in the hospital. "Whoa," said Whitey, "You think pilot been attacked by Mio?" "No," said Max, "I think something else." "What?" said Whitey, "What is it?" "When I was at the pool," said Max, 'Mio wasn't in the pool, it was another one of his kind!"

"Well," said Whitey, "I'm not surprise, when we found all of those eggs and Mio hatched, there must be more like him." "Yep," said Max, "But this one looked meaner and hissed at me." "Well," said Whitey, "You did raise Mio, the other one was more wild then Mio."

The next morning, Whitey and the pilot were out of there rooms. They mange to recover quickly. Whitey meet Max in the Dinning Room. "I see you tomorrow at the pool," said Whitey and he left the room and headed home. "Hey!" said May running over to Max, "Pilot and Bianca are heading over the pool you been at to look for the thing that attacked him."

Bianca and pilot were talking to each other in the lobby. Max ran by them at top speeds. "May!" said pilot, "I think he's trying to get there before us!" "I think he might know what attacked you," said May running over. "Let's take a shortcut to the pool before he gets there," said Bianca.

Max ran down the path. "I got to get there and move Mio to somewhere else," said Max panting. All of a sudden, pilot jumped in front of him and grabbed him. "What are you hiding?" said the pilot.

At the pool, Bianca is using a pole to search the pool for anything. The pilot is holding Max steady. "If you know anything and tell us!" said May in Max's face. "Hey," shouted Bianca, "I think it hit something!"

May ran over to Bianca and the pilot pushed Max to the ground and ran over too. "No," said Max. A huge wave came out of the water and pulled Bianca, pilot, and May under it.

Max ran over, no sign of anyone. Then Mio jumped out of the pool. Max picked him up and ran of with him. Max didn't know what happened to everyone, but all he knew is that they vanished.

A few seconds after Max took off and disappeared into the scenery, Bianca, pilot, and May resurfaced. "What the hell happened?" said the pilot. "I don't know," said May pulling herself out of the pool. "Hey?" said May looking around, "Where did Max go?"

Max ran into his room. He was still holding Mio. "I got to hide him!" said Max. He looked around and grabbed the cooler and put Mio in it. "Not here, May will look around," said Max, "The playhouse is destroyed and the pool hiding is found, and I'm not hiding him in the jail, because May and the pilot go there, but where?"

Max rid off towards the backside of the island on a dune buggy he found abandon by the hospital. A junkyard was lying in the overgrown weeds and grass of the shadow of the town to east. 5 cars layed in the thick grass, broken bottles, cans, boxes, and junk had covered the ground Max went into the junkyard. "Should be able to hide him here," said Max. He ran towards a not mobile bus, jumped inside, set down the cooler, and let Mio out and sat next to him. Max sat there sitting next to Mio, thinking and hoping May, Bianca, and the pilot won't find him, then he drifted off to sleep.

Later that night, May paced in the lobby worried. "I called the police," said the pilot, "They should be able to find him." May hugged him, "We shouldn't have been so mean."

Misty walked out into the lobby, and looked around. The pilot and May have fell asleep and May had rested her head on pilot. "Cute," smiled Misty, "The coast is clear come out." Someone walked out of the shadows. "I loved Ash," said Misty, "But after the storm, I changed. I don't loved him anymore, and now he is always with Melody, I think it is time to let him go." "Yeah," said the person, "You know, ever since I meet you, I liked you a lot." "Now," said Misty, "I like you too." Both of them smiled and kissed.

Max opened his eyes, light was pouring into the bus. Max's eyes opened wide. He check his watch. He fell asleep too long! "Everyone must be worried sick!" he said, "I'll see you later, Mio." Then he ran out and jumped into the dune buggy and went off to the hospital.

Max rode up to the hospital doors. There was 2 police cars at the doors. Max freaked out. He couldn't be seen now!

Whitey road up to the hospital on his bike. He heard Max went missing, he came to help as much as he could. But he stopped when he saw Max. "Where were you?" said Whitey. "Can't talk now!" said Max, "Meet me at the junkyard!" Max took off fast. Whitey jumped on his bike and followed him. But someone was following him from far behind. It was Bianca on rollerblades.

Max waited for Whitey at the doors of the bus. "He better get here soon," said Max. Then Whitey road up on his bike. "Quick!" said Max, "In here!" Whitey jumped off the bike and followed Max in.

Max explained everything that had happened. "So," said Whitey, "You want to risk your life for it?" "Yeah," said Max, "We just need to get to water." "Shouldn't be too hard," said Whitey. "I got you," said someone. They turned, Bianca was coming in the bus.

She was angry and was sweating. "I finally found you," she said, "And the thing that attack pilot." Max looked behind him. Mio was hissing at Bianca. She pushed Max out of the way and reached for Mio.

Mio was still hissing at her. When Bianca reached for him, he started to glow. Then he sent an electrical shock into her. She started to moan and shake. She pulled away from him, but she kept on getting shocked. She screamed in pain was launched through the bus's front window.

Max and Whitey ran out to see if she was ok. But she was beyond it. She was burned marks all over her face, legs, and arms. She was still shaking and electrical currents were still visible as they travel all over her body.

Max jumped back in the bus, grabbed Mio, and jumped into the dune buggy. Whitey froze in his spot. "We killed her!" said Whitey. Whitey ran towards the dune buggy and into it. Then they took off.

May and the pilot ran towards the junkyard. "I thought I saw Bianca go this way," said May. When they got there, they couldn't see anyone. "Are you sure?" said pilot. "I'm sure," said May, "Hey! Who's grilling out here?" The pilot looked around and walked towards the smell. Then he looked down. "Oh," said the pilot, "Holy crap!"

Max and Whitey drove over by the shrine. "We'll be fine over here," said Max. "We killed her!" said Whitey who was still shocked. "We didn't kill her," said Max, "She was still breathing, I think she was." All of a sudden a phone rang. "Oh," said Max, "I forgot I had it in my pocket. Hello?" "MAX!" shouted May over the phone.

"What did you do?" she said. "Why is everything my fault?" said Max. "What happened!" she said. Max thought something, "Are you tracking me?" "I'm not!" shouted May. Max turned off the cell phone and tossed it into the sea. "We got to keep moving!" said Max to Whitey.

"Max?" said May. But no respond from him. She turned off the phone. She looked towards the police in the room. "We couldn't find him," said Officer Jenny. "I think I might know where they might head," said May thinking carefully.

Ronjad lay in his bed thinking. Then his cell phone rang and he answered, "Hello?" "It's me!" said the person of over the phone line. "Who?" said Ronjad. "It's Max!" said the person.

Ronjad sat strait up. "Where are you?" said Ronjad, "Bianca is in the hospital, May has the police taping her cell phone hoping you'll call, and the pilot want that creature dead." "Don't have much time to talk," said Max, "I'm in town using a pay phone, meet me at the beach with the keys to the airboat, I need to get out of here!" Then someone grabbed the phone out of his hands. "Max!" said May holding Ronjad's phone, "I coming!" But he hung up.

Max and Whitey headed towards the beach. "Once we drop off Mio into the ocean," said Max, "We take off for another island then head back to the mainland." "Sounds good," said Whitey. He looked head of them. A bunch of cars were heading towards them. They were police cars.

"Turn!" said Whitey. Max drove off the town road towards the beach. "There it is!" pointed Whitey at the beach. Then the dune buggy slowed down and stopped. Max looked the gas meter. They were out of gas.

The police cars stopped when they reached the dune buggy. Someone was in it. "Get out of the car!" shouted Officer Jenny. The person jumped out. But it wasn't Max, it was Whitey. "Huh?" said Jenny, "Where's Max?" She looked up, she saw him running towards the beach with something following him.

Max ran as fast as he could. He looked backed. Officer Jenny was chasing after him. "Come on!" said Max to Mio, "Keep moving!"

They finally reached the beach. Max hurried Mio into the water. Mio jumped into it and looked back at Max. "GO!" said Max, "Save yourself!"

Mio just stared at him blankly. "Go," said Max again. Mio swam a bit farther and turned. Max wasn't following him. Mio looked once more and disappeared under the water.

Officer Jenny, followed by May, the pilot, and Ronjad (They were riding in the car) ran towards the beach. They saw Max in water. They saw the creature dive under the water. When it was under the water, the water glowed bright light blue as the creature swam away.

Ronjad ran towards the Max. "Do you think it will come back?" said Max. "Maybe, maybe not," said Ronjad watching the bright spot disappear over in the horizon. Max waved good bye to Mio and started up the beach. He had a lot to explain to everyone on what happened.
