Maxie's Real Plan

Disclaimer: NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. ZILCH! Get our point? ? o.o boxies. o.o ???

Mal was the first to wake up the next morning. She stretched, then opened her pack and took out a blank sheet of parchment and a few utensils. She spred them out on the ground, then looked around at her surroundings. She eventually finished her map, then dusted eraser shavings and such off of it. She traced the lines with pen, then rolled up her map and stuffed it into her pack. She took out a clean set of clothes, then walked over behind the tree and changed into a green t-shirt and tan jeans. She took off her head band and brushed her hair, then tied the headband around her forehead again.

Mal ywaned as she looked into the sky. A few Taillow and Wingull passed by. The flock of Wingull cawed happily, then flew away. Mal released her two Pokémon, Fatal Fang and Ripto, then woke Kyo up.

"Looks like it's going to be a long day..." She muttered. Kyo nodded, Fatal Fang hissed, and Ripto growled lightly.

Karania woke up slowly. She saw Mal talking to her Pokémon. She opened up her own pack and brought out another dress, then walked behind the same tree and changed into it. She released her own Pokémon and said her good mornings to them. She brought out some food and gave the food to her Legendary Pokémon.

Mew floated over near Fatal Fang and turned upside-down curiously. Fatal Fang hissed angrily at him, then slithered into the bushes.

Karania sighed. "Good morning, all." She said.

Mal turned her head. "Mornin'." She replied with a bland tone.

Edgar woke up as the sun peeked over the mountains. He rubbed his eyes and straightened his shirt. "Mmm...good morning, everyone..." He muttered groggily.

He rolled up his sleeping bag and sat it near his backpack, then took out a clean set of clothes and changed behind the tree. He searched in his pack for a while, then found a small snack for himself. He released his Pokémon, also. Leaf the Treecko sprang out of the first ball with happiness. Next came Ace the Swellow, then Static the Minun, Nemo the Wailmer, Luna the Absol, and finally, his Cyndaquil; Firestreak.

He gave them all a pat on the head, then put a bowl of food in front of each of them. Mal walked over to Edgar. "Your Treecko's kinda cute." She said, and smiled. She kneeled down and smiled at Leaf, who was oblivious to all but his food.

After everyone was done and had packed up, and had recalled their Pokémon, the three set off for Route 119, hoping to get a move on with their quest. Mal read her map carefully, then pointed west. The three headed in that direction, where a large building came into view about twenty minutes later.

"That should be the Weather Center," Edgar announced. "Think maybe we should stop and eat or something?"

Karania nodded. "I suppose so, it seems to be about two in the afternoon right about now..."

The trio had made it to the Weather Center, and were given a warm welcome by the owner. The three all sat down at a table, then began talking about a possible plan so should they find Team Magma.

"Well, I guess we should just fight 'em." Edgar said.

Karania shook her head. "We have to think of a better solution than that, we may be in grave danger if we mess up."

Edgar frowned. "This may take a while...if we were to be ambushed, then what would we do?"

"I guess we'd have to try your first suggestion, Edgar." Karania replied.

"Would all of our Pokémon be strong enough?" Mal asked.

"Of course," Karania replied. "I can-"

"I meant Edgar's Pokémon and mine, you know." Mal said. "You don't have to be the star of every battle, as I'll say and say again, Legendary Pokémon are for weaklings who can't fight!" Mal shouted angrily.

Karania stood up and scowled at Mal. "You may think so, but-"

"I DO!" Mal yelled, then stormed outside.

"What's up her butt?" Edgar asked aloud.

"I don't know, she might be a bit jealous of me trying to fight every battle...She might still be mad about how I stopped her battle with that girl named May..."

Edgar shrugged. "I guess so."

The two stood up and went to go find Mal.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The two finally found Mal crouching by a clearing of trees, a suspicious look on her face. She held up a finger to quiet down, then motioned for the two to come over. Karania and Edgar crouched down near Mal, then saw what she was staring at.

Sure enough, a squad of Team Magma grunts stood there chatting about something. Mal looked at Karania. "I think they're looking for somebody." She whispered. A grunt turned his head towards the direction Mal's voice came from. He shrugged, then went back to chatting with the other grunts.

"That was close..." Edgar muttered.

"Too close..." Karania added.

"What should we do?" Edgar asked.

Karania closed her eyes. " I don't know, maybe....hmm..."

Mal bit her lip. "What if we released our Pokémon into their and- OW!" Mal let out a sharp cry as she felt something bite her. Edgar looked over, then smacked a Linoone with his hand.

Karania's eyes widened. "I bet they heard that...way to go, Mal!" She said angrily.

Mal glared at Karania, then growled. "Freaking Linoone's fault, not mine!"

Karania gasped as she felt a wet cloth cover her face. The person who did it took the cloth away, then twisted Karania's arms behind her back and made her stand up. The same thing happened to Edgar and Mal.

Tabitha Mizuki grinned as he watched Karania struggle. "Don't try to resist, we've caught you!" He remarked triumphantly.

Mal titled her head to see who had gotten her. "Let me go!" She cried, and wriggled out of the admin's grasp, only to be caught again.

Marché Regenald watched Mal struggle in his grasp. "You can't win, little girl!" He cackled.

Courtney Ishida smirked as Edgar struggled. "None of you can escape. Don't even try."

Tabitha held on to Karania as he watched her struggle, then tied a blindfold around her eyes. The same thing happened to Mal and Edgar. The three all stopped struggling, and finally gave iin the the Magma admins.

Well, there's chapter seven. Please read and review! - éâäàåüÇzî I love symbols. -
