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.

Thanks for the reviews everyone! I'm just going to tell you that I won't be updating for a few days, cuz I'm going up to camp. Now then, on with the chapter!

Little Angel: Chapter 12

Discovery

Maya bolted from the where she stood, running in the direction of the harbor. She heard Ash and his friends yell at her, but she didn't stop. Looking behind her, she saw Ash and Pikachu chasing her, yet strangely, there was no sign of his friends. Up ahead, she could see the ocean, meaning her ride to Cinnabar couldn't be to far away. She looked behind her again, and saw that Ash and Pikachu weren't behind her anymore. Suddenly, she felt herself crash into someone. She was about to pull away and mutter an apology, when the person she'd crashed into suddenly grabbed her shoulders. She opened her eyes, and saw Ash gripping her shoulders. Pikachu merely sat on the ground next to its trainer, its nose twitching as if trying to get a scent off the bundle.

"NOT YOU AGAIN!" Maya yelled, wrenching her arms free from his grasp. "DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUISNESS! GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!"

"WELL, MAYBE IF YOU'D TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE HIDING, I'D LEAVE YOU ALONE!" Ash yelled back.

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU! I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU ANYTHING!"

"Maya, what's the matter? I'm scared!" Rain suddenly asked, her voice shaking with fear.

"What! Who's there?" Ash asked whipping his head around in order to locate the sound of the voice.

Maya growled in annoyance. How could she keep Rain hidden now? Maya suddenly heard footsteps behind her and turned around. She then saw Misty, Brock, and the Professor running toward them.

"Great, just what I need…more company…" she thought angrily. "This is why I never talked with anyone…ever…"

"Maya, why'd you run away before?" Misty asked.

"Because….you guys won't mind your own damn business…" Maya growled, gritting her teeth.

"Who was that voice I heard?" Ash demanded.

Suddenly, Pikachu jumped up and tugged the top of the cloak up, revealing Rain's face. Maya's eyes went wide, and she tried to cover the little psychic back up before anyone saw her.

"What!" Brock said in surprise.

"Too late…" Maya thought, mentally slapping herself for not watching what the electric mouse was doing.

She glared down at Pikachu, looking like she wanted to strangle the yellow Pokemon. Seeing the look on Maya's face, Pikachu quickly retreated behind Ash.

"Where are we Maya?" Rain asked.

"T-that looks like…" Misty stammered.

"Mewtwo…" Ash breathed. "I thought there was only one…"

"Are you happy now?" Maya grumbled.

To be continued...

In case you didn't read the top part, I won't be updating for a few days because I'm going up to camp for the weekend. Hope you have a great Victioria day!
