I do not own Pokemon, any of the Pokemon species, Team Rocket, or Giovanni. Maya and Jet are my characters though.

Thank you to everyone to reviewed! Sorry it took so long to update! Now, enjoy the chapter.

Little Angel: Chapter 9

Cold Night

Maya stopped to catch her breath. She'd been running all night in the direction of Pallet town, hoping that she could get a full night ahead of Team Rocket. She knew they'd be after her for taking one of their Pokemon, and she wasn't about to let Rain fall back into their hands. Maya looked down at the young Pokemon. Rain was now fast asleep, wrapped in the cloak that Nurse Joy had given Maya. The only part of her body that was visible was her face, which barely peeked out of the cloak.

"I won't let them hurt her again…I'll kill them if they even try…" she thought to herself. "I'll make them wish they'd never even thought to harm her…"

The girl yawned, obviously tired. She hadn't gotten a wink of sleep all night, and was beginning to feel the affects of pulling an all-nighter. She could see faint lights in the distance, most likely street lights, meaning that she wasn't to far away from the little town. She quickened her pace. From what she knew, there weren't any places that she would be able to stay at in Pallet. Since there weren't any motels or Pokemon-Centers in the town, she decided that she'd set up her sleeping-bag behind a tree or something and sleep there for the night. She knew she was taking a big chance doing that. If there were any thieves or Rockets out looking for her, she'd be outside and easy to find.

"I don't really have a choice though. I've got nowhere to go, so this is my only option if I want to get any sleep at all tonight." she thought, her eyes feeling heavy with exhaustion.

As she entered the town, she took a quick look around. Seeing no one, she ducked behind a bush, gently setting Rain's sleeping form down. She carefully took the cloak off the little Pokemon in order to change Rain's bandages. She carefully removed the old bloody ones, and put some fresh ones on. She secretly thanked Nurse Joy for giving her the medical supplies. She then realized that she only had on sleeping-bag.

"Crap…I really need to buy a Pokemon sleeping-bag next time I find a Poke-Mart." she thought in annoyance.

Not wanting Rain to get cold, she put the little psychic into her sleeping bag. The young girl then went and leaned against a nearby tree, shivering slightly as she felt the cool night air lick her skin. Slowly she felt herself drift off to sleep….

Cycle Road

"Wow, I never thought that would actually work…" Jet said to himself.

After thinking for about half an hour, Jet had decided to try and bribe the guard at the road. Lucky for Jet, the guard apparently hated to turn down $30.00. The guard had then let Jet slip through, making sure that no one saw him. Jet shivered slightly.

"I feel sorry anyone who has to sleep out here tonight." he thought as the wind blew against him.

Fuchsia City

After an hour of walking, he finally made it to Fuchsia. Noticing how late it was, he found the nearest Pokemon-Center and got a room to stay in for the night. He also made sure that he got Nurse Joy to heal Claw up, even though they hadn't been in any battles for a couple of days.

"You can never be too careful…" the boy thought as Joy took Claw's Poke-Ball to the healing room.

After making sure that Claw was in fighting-condition, Jet brought the fire-type Pokemon into his room.

"Well Claw, tomorrow we're off to Cinnabar." Jet said to Claw's Poke-Ball.

Placing the Poke-Ball into his belt, Jet crawled into his bed, and slowly fell asleep…

To be continued…

Ok, not the most exciting chapter, but just hang around. It'll get better!
