I do not own Pokemon, any of the Pokemon species, Team Rocket, Giovanni, Ash, Misty, Brock, or Professor Oak. Maya and Jet are my characters though.
Yay, more reviews! Thanks for the support everyone! Now then, on with the chapter!
Little Angel: Chapter 11
Mother's Protection
"Crap!" Maya thought as she saw Rain's tail hanging out of the bundle.
"Hey, what're you hiding in there?" Ash asked, reaching forward to try and pull back the cloak covering Rain.
Not knowing what else to do, Maya jumped away from the black-haired boy, causing the group to look at her in surprise.
"It's nothing!" Maya said, her voice a little louder then she'd meant it to be.
Suddenly, she felt Rain shift inside the cloak. After a few moments, the little Pokemon woke up.
"Maya…?"
"Shhh, quiet….." Maya whispered so the little psychic was the only one who'd heard her.
Rain quickly stopped talking. Thinking something was wrong, she began to feel afraid. Unfortunately, that also meant that Rain began to shake in fear. Maya hugged the toddler closer to her in an effort to calm her down.
"If they see her moving they'll know for sure I've got something…" she thought.
The girl's legs were ready to run if she needed to bolt from the teenagers and man standing in front of her. Not to mention she still had her switchblade. After a few minutes, Ash took a step forward.
"Look, what's the matter? We're not gonna hurt you or anything." Ash said, noticing that Maya seemed stressed.
"Yeah, we're just curious…" Misty added. "You don't need to get protective."
"Right…." Maya said, giving the group a suspicious look.
Maya had a protective look in her eyes, like the one a mother has when she's protecting her child…
Fuchsia City
"YEAH, WE WON AGAIN!" Jet cheered, hugging Claw, than extending his hand to his opponent. "Great match!"
"Thanks! You're pretty good!" the boy replied, shaking Jet's hand.
Jet learned that his boat wouldn't be leaving for another two days, so he'd been staying at the Pokemon-Center and battling every chance he got. When he wasn't battling or healing up, he was pulling pranks, like setting up noisemakers in public places. He was having the time of his life annoying people and, when he got caught, running from angry people.
"This is the best day of my life!" he thought as he ran from a man who he put a whoopee-cushion underneath.
Pallet town
"Why can't they just leave me alone?" Maya wondered as she clutched Rain.
Maya was starting to get annoyed. After repeatedly telling Ash and his friends that she wasn't hiding anything and that what she was carrying was none of their business, she decided that maybe she should just run for it. The only thing she was worried about was if that Pikachu decided to zap her. She wasn't worried about herself, but if Rain was hit with any Pokemon attacks right now, her injuries could worsen. But it was her only choice, besides showing them Rain, which was totally out of the question.
"Well if I'm gonna make a break for it, I'd better do it now…"
