Maxie's
Real Plan
Disclaimer: We don't own Pokémon, so don't
sue us.
The
three were taken to the Team Magma base in Lilycove City. Mal and
Edgar were thrown in a filthy cell which had the repulsive smell of a
sewer system. Karania was taken to a separate cell, though it was
just as filthy. Mal was finally able to rip the blindfold off of her
head, then began helping Edgar get his off.
Karania's voice
was heard faintly across the room. "Is everyone okay?" She
asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Edgar said. "But
I think I have a bruise on my back from where I was grabbed..."
Mal
didn't reply, but seemed to be searching for something in the dark
cell. "Kyo?" She asked.
No
reply was heard.
"Oh, no! Kyo's missing!" Mal cried.
"I'm fine, but I'm not fine with Kyo
missing...."
Footsteps
were heard as Tabitha walked down the hallway to Karania's cell. Mal
and Edgar heard him unlock it.
"Come with me, my dear."
Tabitha said as he grabbed Karania by her arms, then bound her wrists
together with
rope.
Tabitha
arrived in Maxie's office with Karania in his grasp. He then nodded
and left the room.
Maxie smirked. "I told you that it
wasn't possible to stop me," He said. "Now do you
believe?"
"You haven't won!" Karania spat. "And
you still won't!"
"Look at you. I knew you as a
beautiful girl. Now you're traveling with these two street urchins?
Pathetic!" Maxie snarled.
"They are not street
urchins! They're my friends! And I don't want a relation with you in
any way!"
"Now, now. You shouldn't be so tense,
Karania," Maxie said, then brought a collar out of his pocket.
He unhooked the metal latch, then approached Karania with it. "Hold
still!" He commanded, then prepared to fit the collar over
Karania.
Karania
moved out of the way, but then fell. Because of the ropes around her
wrists, she was unable to pick herself up. With humilation, she had
no choice but to allow Maxie to put the collar on her. As soon as
Maxie snapped the latch, Karania cried out in pain as a painful shock
surged through her body. Maxie smiled.
"It's useless to
resist." Maxie grabbed Karania and proceeded to take her back to
her cell. About halfway there, Karania suddenly wrenched out of
Maxie's grasp, but he caught her by her cape and pulled her back to
him. Karania sighed as she was forced back into her cell. Maxie then
went back to his
office.
Edgar
released Static and commanded him to use Flash. "Karania, what
happened?" He asked.
"Maxie put a collar around my
neck that shocks me. I guess he just does it for his own
pleasure-AAH!" Karania cried as she was shocked again.
Edgar
growled. "What a sick man...." He muttered. "Don't
worry Karania, we'll get it off of you."
Karania began
fiddling with the latch, but was electrocuted once more, then
Static's Flash went out.
Running
was heard down the hallway.
Edgar and Mal looked at each
other. "Not again...." They muttered.
The footsteps
stopped in front of Karania's cell. The sound of a lock being picked
was heard, and a famiiliar, British voice spoke up.
"Karania,
are you okay?" He asked.
"Static, use Flash again,"
Edgar whispered to the blue and yellow rabbit- like Pokémon.
Static replied, "Minun!" and then lit up the dark cell once
more.
Karania looked up. "...Archie?"
"Yeah,
of course." Archie replied. He touched Karania's shoulder. "Are
you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine, but Maxie put an
electric collar around my neck, he shocks me for his own
pleasure...AGH!" Karania felt herself being electrocuted
again.
Archie looked at the latch. "There seems to be a
key needed...."
Archie
walked out of Karania's cell, and then down the hallway towards
Maxie's office.
Edgar and Mal sighed as he bypassed their
cell.

Archie
kicked down the door to Maxie's office. "Maxie!" He
bellowed. "You coward!"
Maxie calmly turned from the
window he was staring out of. "I knew you'd come eventually,"
He said, and withdrew a Great Ball from his coat pocket.
"Of
course I'd come! I wuldn't let Karania get in the hands of you! Now
give me the key that goes to her collar, NOW!"
"You
think I'd actually do that? You're pathetic." Maxie let the ball
drop to the floor, revealing his Mightyena. "I'll tell you what;
I'm feeling rather generous today. Beat me in a two on two Pokémon
battle, and I'll give you the key to Karania's collar." Maxie
said.
"Fine,
I'll play your little game.," Archie replied, and took his
Sharpedo's Poké Ball from his belt.
"Mightyena,
Swagger." Maxie commanded.
"Sharpedo, same thing!"
Archie replied.
Both
Pokémon were confused, and had their attack power raised.
Maxie's Mightyena was holding a White Herb, so his confusion was
cured. "Mightyena, Giga Drain!" Maxie said. Sharpedo was
surprised by the attack, and had quite a bit of energy drained from
him. Sharpedo retaliated with Surf, which also dealt some heavy
damage to Mightyena.
"Sharpedo, Skull Bash!" Archie
commanded, and Sharpedo backed up, then slammed his head into
Mightyena, knocking him out.
"Now for Camerupt!"
Maxie cried, hurling the obese camel's ball.
"Then I'll
use Crobat." Archie said, and released the violet-colored bat.
"Use your Poison Fang!"
Camerupt became poisoned.
"Use Rock Slide!" Maxie yelled.
Crobat was sent
hurling to the floor, but got back up and used his Air Cutter attack,
making Camerupt faint.
"Oh, no!" Maxie cried, and
returned his Camerupt. He threw the key to Archie, then quickly ran
out of his office and out the
exit.
Archie
returned to Karania's cell with the key in hand. He unlatched the
collar, and then took it off of her. "There we go." He
said, and smiled. He helped her off of the grimy floor and proceeded
to walk out the building.
Karania stopped Archie. "What
about Mal and Edgar?"
"They're here with you?"
Archie asked, and turned around. He stopped at Edgar and Mal's cell,
then stuck his arm through. "Is anybody in there?"
Mal's
hand gripped Archie's. "Yes, please let us out!"
Edgar
nodded, and picked Static up off of the floor and stood up. Mal also
stood up. Another picking sound was heard, and the door of Edgar and
Mal's cell creaked
open.
As
Archie, Karania, Mal, and Edgar walked towards Team Aqua base, Archie
told Mal of Kyo's presence. He told her that Kyo was at the base,
waiting for them to arrive. He also said that he would be keeping the
three of them of them for a few days so they could recover.
They
arrived at Aqua Base near Mount Pier, and all entered. Archie greeted
a few of his grunts and some admins, then showed Karania, Mal, and
Edgar their rooms, then went to his
office.
