Chapter II The Getaway

"Go Tauros!" Said Aaron and the bull pokemon materialised in front of him, raking its' hoof along the ground, ready to charge at the Sceptile on the other side of the arena.

"Sceptile, sola…." Began the other trainer but wassuddenly interrupted by a girl running out from the stands.

"Stop! Stop the battle!" Yelled Denim as she ran out into the middle of the battlefield, holding up both hands and staring out into the crowd.

Everyone suddenly stared back at her she realised the amount of people she was going to have to distract.

"What the hell?" Said someone in the audience. Others joined in, "Get out of the way you lunatic!" Yelled a woman in her sixties, brandishing a walking stick menacingly.

Aaron stared at his sister. What on earth was she doing?

"Ummm, before we begin, I have some announcements. The following cars have been left with their headlights turned on…"

…

Kai stepped quietly into the trophy room and stared at the golden cup, gleaming in its glass case. Sitting on the floor under it, a large black safe, big enough for Kai to sit comfortably in, with a large electronic keypad.

Next to his feet lay two Arcanine, so deep in sleep an atomic bomb couldn't have woken them. His Ralts looked at them intently, the fact that he could knock out two fully-grown Arcanine was an enormous boost to his usual low self-esteem.

"Manyula, the safe please." He said as it entered the room. It disappeared completely from site and a moment later appeared dropping a bag of money at Kais' feet. "Thank you"

Kai turned around to leave but stopped abruptly when he discovered a pistol pointed directly between his eyes.

"Penny." He said.

Thesteely eyed woman on the other side of the gunanswered back, "We meet again, Ether."

…

Denim continued to call out fake number plates as she randomly made them up in her head. She looked down at her watch; good two minutes, time to leave. Then as quick and unannounced as she had walked onto the arena she walked off, to the relieved sighs of the annoyed crowd.

She left the colosseum and broke into a run, headed straight towards the Touron pokemon centre.

…

Denim grabbed her side, panting heavily. She hadn't thought about how far the pokemon centre actually was. After the stitch had subsided she began a slow walk but stopped when she heard footsteps behind her.

"Aaron!" She called out, her back facing towards her brother who had just dismounted his Skarmory. "What do you want?"

"What was that in the arena before?" He asked as he walked up next to her. "You made a complete fool of yourself in front of nearly the entire town!" He said angrily.

"It's none of your business!" She turned to face him, "I don't have to report back to you every time I do something wrong! Your not dad, so don't act like you are, okay!" She turned and started to run again, full pelt towards along the road towards the pokemon centre, hopefully that act was enough to stop him from following her.

Aaron stared in utter confusion. What was she talking about, acting like dad? Since when?

He rolled his eyes, women he thought, then got back on his Skarmory and flew back to the colosseum to start his next battle.
