M1DN1GHT: God, it does. Random indeed, but you know me, so yeah. Yeah. I liked that line. /grin/

Alli.Faerie.Of.The.Forgotten: Okay, I'm calling you Alli for short dear. That's a really long name, and my short attention span cannot cope with it. OMFG HORSESHOES! Was that really suspense…yeah, it was.

And with that…onwards…yesh…indeed…

And the following title may not fit. I like putting really long titles.

Chapter Eighteen: The Person That Trinity REALLY Hates

"I hope we'll get to do some actual fighting. This whole damn thing has lasted forever."

"Shut up Bryson. We have other things to think about," came William's voice, waving his hand a bit towards Chase-Groudon-Thing-Dude-…Man. "So quit your whining about the whole fighting thing."

"Don't use my full name Will. It gets annoying."

"Fine, fine." William stepped back a bit, taking his place beside Ricca and Miro, and glanced up towards Chase, who still studied Trinity, growling fiercely and his tail wavered behind him, causing small waves of lava to roll like those of an ocean.

Trinity seemed to not quite be there, staring at Chase right in the eyes, mouth gaping like a fish, twitching. Rakurai didn't look much better, beginning to whimper like a pup, taking his place in a flying leap behind Trinity, attempting to hide.

Apology and Veloci hadn't recovered much either, although Veloci tried his best to hide his fear, by standing frozen like a statue, although one gaze into his eyes told all that he was scared of his mind. Apology began to trot around in circles, pacing as though to wait until he was killed, as he occasionally threw his head, gave a whinny of fright, and began to dance about in fright, Anna doing her best to calm down the equine.

Trinity then clenched her teeth forcefully, trying not to look frightened infront of the Grunts and Maxie, as Maxie and Winona had stopped their fight to gaze at Groudon.

"Quickly! Capture Groudon, now!" Maxie ordered to the Grunts, who nodded quickly and released their Pokemon, all mostly Zubats, Houndours, and Numels, all immediately following into three lines of six, the Numels infront, Houndours in the middle row, and the Zubats in the back. Each one had a small machine on their back, looking much like a bazooka of some sort.

"FIRE!"

The Numels all grew tense, as they dug their hoof like feet I would call them into the red coloured dirt, and began to I guess squeal, as the machines on their back suddenly shot out on the side ropes from the machines, attaching to each other's machines and looping around, forming a massive rope that attached to every Numel's machine in the front row. Suddenly, another rope shot out from the back of the machines, carrying back to the Houndours and Zubats, which they immediately picked up. The Numels then gave a rather fierce snort (which I thought could have never happened as they look really, really stupid and slow), and a resulting BOOM BOOM (yes TWO BOOMS!) was the noise as a massive net fired from all the Numels' bazooka things, wrapping around Chase, as wanted.

"They're gonna capture Chase!" Cecilia sobbed, going into yet more hysterics.

"Are you kidding me? He's like, really big. I don't think a stupid net is going to keep him there for long," Ricca murmured, and such was the case. Chase had begun to rip and tear the net to shreds, which then boiled like stir-fry in the lava. At that point, most were wondering what Chase was going to do now. Was he going to kill off Team Magma, and then live a nice little life as a giant…dragon thing? Seemed not for right now, as he began to gnaw on the net, chewing it to pieces even tinier and swallowing it.

"…He seems to really hate that net," Bry commented, watching Chase feast. "I wonder if it tastes any good…"

"Like you would care Bry. I've seen what you eat, and it makes that net look good," Miro said disgustedly, wincing as he crossed his arms.

"Oh right, well, you go to Ruby and Tim's place when it's 'Come-and-see-all-the-places- we've-visited-and-their-nasty-looking-food' day! The ice with syrup on top didn't seem so bad, but the fried frog legs were actually pretty good. No wonder Tim talks about them every time I try to talk to him."

"That's sick Bry!" Anna squealed, covering her mouth and squinting her eyes.

"Some countries do actually eat that though," Matthew informed the others. "Like those in Africa eat ostrich eggs…"

"Africa? Anyway, that's still sick Bry," Miro said. "You need to eat normal food. Not dirt."

"That was ONCE. ONCE. And besides, you pushed me into the ground," Bry accused huffily.

"No I didn't. You tripped over that table."

"How do you trip over a table?" Anna asked suspiciously. "I mean, it's pretty hard to miss. It's a table."

"I didn't trip over it. Miro and my dad chucked me over the table, instead of tomatoes."

"Well you wanted to win, and we were out of tomatoes…"

"So you chucked me over?"

"Hey, we won." Miro grinned, chuckling. "Yeah, Bry hit all three of the other team's members."

"This is like our Tomato Festival," William said thoughtfully. "Only you threw a…person."

"Yeah, we were trying to have our own Tomato Festival. And we won!" Miro began to laugh harder.

"I kind of rebounded off Van though."

"But you hit Lumina square in the stomach. You should have heard her scream and then a thud."

"Hugh was kind of annoyed…"

"Yeah, he wanted to kill you big time."

"Good thing I hid under that barrel."

"More like in it. You smelled like tomatoes for a week."

"Hugh didn't find me though."

"Children," Trinity said huffily, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Shut up, we're telling a story here, it just doesn't say we actually are," Bry interrupted.

A thunderbolt flew towards Bry, just barely missing his head, with Bry looking much like what my dog looks like when he goes to the vet and the vet gets the gloves on and…mmyes…

"Now, how about we do this, before I really lose my temper?" Trinity hissed like a cobra (oh a simile). But a resounding BOOM from the thick rock wall to the right of Chase, causing them to crumble to the ground, cut off the last hiss.

"That's not good…" William said thoughtfully, glancing towards the used-to-be wall. Ricca nodded in agreement, and everyone else followed suit.

"Maxie, you don't think…?" Trinity asked Maxie, frowning.

"Oh, I think so. They're here. GRUNTS! GET YOUR POKEMON READY!" he commanded, the grunts obeying, scurrying to the front of the line, their released creatures tailing after.

"Wait, who's coming?" Miro asked, and Bry gave a shrug in reply.

"Damn it! I told you to capture that thing, not make it so annoyed it blows a hole through the wall!" came a young male's voice, clearly heard from the smoke and haze.

"We're sorry sir! But you see, it's just so…big, and it ripped the net apart so easily—"

"I don't want excuses! I want results! Now!"

"Goodness it is Kale," Trinity said disgustedly. "I knew that man would be here as well. Team Aqua always follows Team Magma, 'cause they don't know what to do themselves."

As the smoke cleared, it came apparent that Team Aqua was truly there, as their bandana wearing heads and pant wearing legs become visible (and how their outfits weren't as ugly as Team Magma's outfits).

"Go get the backup net, right now, and capture Kyogre before I punish all of you!" yelled the young man dubbed Kale, his back turned to everyone except the Grunts he was scolding.

"But Kale—" interrupted a Grunt, pointing behind Kale towards the gang and the group of Team Magma grunts.

"You do not interrupt me!"

"I knew he was too simple-minded to figure out we were here. As usual," Trinity murmured, rolling her eyes. She then cupped her hands around her mouth. "KALE!"

"What?" Kale answered back, fuming, as he turned towards Team Magma, not expecting to see them. The anime sweat drop became visible on the back of his black ruffled hair. "Oh…damn it…"

"Hey it's Trinity and Maxie and Team Magma and some…village people!" yelled an obvious announcing Grunt.

"Yes, village people. And if you blokes don't scamper off with your tail tucked between your legs, we shall get our guns," sarcastically said by Ricca. The others seemed to believe she was telling the truth, and gave her odd looks.

"Ugh, I'm being sarcastic."

"Oooooh."

"Then what's with the fake English accent?" piped up William.

"It's just for show, to make it seem more real."

"Oh. Thought so."

"Is Ricca going to become an actor?" Cecilia asked suddenly.

"You mean actress," corrected Matthew, nodding his head at his correction.

"Well, is Ricca going to become an actoress?"

Matthew opened his mouth to correct her again, but Miro and Bry both murmured," Don't bother." Matthew sighed, shaking his head as he looked towards Kale and the others.

"Anyway…" Trinity began, looking towards Kale. "Why are you here?"

"What do you think? For Kyogre, of course," Kale replied with a smirk, ruffling his bangs, which fell in front of his dark eyes. "And I know why you came here as well. For Groudon, no doubt."

"Oh. Smart one." Trinity rolled her eyes, and then remembered Chase. "Get that thing under control!" Trinity whirled around to the grunts, which sidestepped at her sudden movement, but nodded and quickly, with their Pokemon at their heels, sprinted back towards Groudon.

"You too! Back to Kyogre!" Kale ordered to his own grunts, which nodded and ran off.

"Well, you haven't changed much. Same…clothing." Trinity glanced up and down at Kale, who wore basically a blue vest with the white symbol of Team Aqua on the collar, with a black muscle shirt underneath, and black matching pants with the Aqua symbol in blue, and black boots. The bandana that most of the Aqua members wore was actually around his right bicep, probably recovering from a minor injury earlier.

Kale ruffled his hair again, closing his eyes and shaking his handsome face back and forth.

"So, why do they hate each other so much if they seem to know each other so well?" Anna asked curiously.

"We're…engaged," Kale mumbled, Trinity not looking pleased with it either, crossing her arms and facing in another direction.

"ENGAGED?" Bry gasped, and then laughed a bit. "Aren't you guys young?"

"Hey, I'm almost nineteen. And besides, he's almost twenty. We're old enough."

"When's the wedding? I wanna come!" Cecilia whined. She then began to daydream, and glanced towards Bry, smiling.

"What are you staring at me for?" Bry asked, edgy, as he began to take a few steps back.

"…Nothing."

"Well, I don't think that marriage will last long," Matthew and William said in unison.

"I give it a year," Ricca mumbled. "And that's the longest."

"I give it six months," Bry said.

"I say that it ends before Britney Spears' marriage did," Miro said. The others looked towards him. "Seriously."
