Real Plan

Mal
woke up the next morning bright and early, just before the alarm
clock rang. She smiled, then hopped out of bed, and peered at
Kyarorain. Kyarorain poked her head out drowsily. "War?"
She asked.
Mal simply smiled and got dressed into her red
jeans, white shirt, and her usual black headband. She then checked
her room to make sure that she had gotten everything together, then
strabbed her backpack on, along with her guitar, then began trying to
wake Kyarorain up. "C'mon, Kyo!" Mal urged. Kyarorain
finally woke, up, and reluctantly followed Mal out the
door.
As Mal
prepared to exit the Gym, Wallace stopped her. "Mal, wait a
second! I know you're excited, but I just want to go over a few
things with you," He said. "Come sit down."
Mal
groaned, but did as she was told, and sat down. Wallace cleared his
throat. "First of all, I've prepared a week's worth of food for
you, then I need to go over with saftey tecniques with you. "What
do you do when a Pokémon has bitten you?"
"Apply
ointment, then wrap it in a gauze."
"Good, what
about it you've broken something?"
"Use a plank of
wood or a spleen if you have one."
Wallace smiled.
"You're getting better!" He said happily. "Your dad
seems to miss talking to you, and I know you won't have enough time
to stop at a payphone, and this package for you just came in the
mail..." Wallace handed a small box to Mal. Mal read the tag
attatched to it, and saw that is was from somebody
special.
Inside
the box was a bright yellow wrist Poké Gear that has army
print on the bands. Mal smiled, she knew exactly who this was from.
She decided that she would call him later. She turned ot her uncle.
"I guess I'll be going..." She said, then was given a quick
hug by Wallace. He smiled at her, then watched her head out the door.
He suddenly gasped, as he had one thing to give to her. He quickly
dashed outside with the Poké Ball in hand.
"Mal!
Mal, wait!" Wallace shouted. Mal turned her head. "Yes?"
She asked.
"I also have something for you, it's something
I picked up when I went into the Cave of Origin the other day, the
Pokémon inside is male, and is a Steel and Rock type,"
Wallace said. "Well, see you later, sweetheart."
"Bye,
Uncle." Mal replied, took the Poké Ball, released
Articuno, climbed on her back, and flew away, Kyo clutching on to
Mal's backpack.
Mal
eventually reached Mossdeep, then recalled Articuno. She turned her
head and saw Karania walking towards her.
"You're early."
She said, the motioned for Mal to follow her. Mal recalled Articuno,
then handed the ball back to Karania and followed
her.

"So how have you been, Mal?" Steven asked.
"The job's gone good so far, Mr. Avalon," She replied. "Though this guy named Maxie came and decided to cause some mischeif...." She said, and bit her lip.
"Well, most of that is good to hear, I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the job," Steven paused for a minute. "You did stop Maxie though, right?" He asked, slightly concerned.
"I did," Karania said. "He ran off, he's going at it again..." She sighed.
"Well, it's good to know that he didn't get the Soul Dew at first...." Steven remarked.
Karania looked over her shoulder at the clock. "Better get going...." She mumbled, then headed upstairs to grab her things.
Karania came down a few minutes later, and bid Arinia and Steven goodbye. Mal did the same, then picked up her things and headed out the door with Kyo.
"So where are we heading?" Mal asked.
"Lilycove City," Karania answered. "We can get there in a few hours if we leave now." She said, then released her Articuno.
"Articuno can probably carry us both, climb on," Karania instructed, and Mal obeyed, and climbed on to Articuno's backside. "Articuno, head West!" Karania said.
Articuno took off into the air, and flew over the open ocean. The sea breeze freshened Mal's spirits, and she smiled brightly. Articuno seemed to slice through the wind, and glided to the beginning on the ocean's layer. She skimmed over the surface with her talons, and brought a Majikarp out of the water, then released it. She crowed sadly, then elevated herself into the air.
Karania and Mal saw Lilycove City in the far distance, and Karania urged for Articuno to go a bit faster. Kyo climbed over Mal's shoulder and sat down in front of her.
"Wartle, war wartortle...." Kyo muttered angrily.
Mal shrugged. "Want to go back into your Poké Ball?"
Kyo shook her head furiously. "WAR!!!!" She shouted.
Mal shrugged, and Kyo retreated inside her shell. The Lilycove shorelines got closer and closer, but then Karania saw a red and white speedboat gliding through the water, and a blue and white one was following it, seeming to be in pursuit.
"Huh...." Karania muttered. "Wonder who?" She peered over Articuno's wing to try and get a better look, but there was no avail. Karania sighed, then tried to have Articuno go faster.
