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.

Reviews rule! Thanks to everybody who reviewed on the last chapter! Now then, on with the story!

Little Angel: Chapter 28

Monster Named Jet

Maya ran through the forest. On her back was Mewtwo, who was unconscious and bleeding from a bullet wound in his chest. Jet and Rain followed the girl. Even though she was carrying quite a load on her back, the other two seemed to be having a bit of trouble keeping up with her.

"MAYA, WAIT UP!" Jet yelled as he struggled to keep up with her.

Maya stopped running for a few seconds. She waited for awhile before taking off again. Jet growled in annoyance at his friend's impatience. He suddenly noticed that Rain was having a hard time keeping up.

"Need a lift?" he asked the little Pokemon, bending over so she could climb onto his back.

Rain nodded gratefully, and hopped onto the teenagers back. Jet then took of running after Maya again, who was now a good distance away.

"Jeez, with the way she's running, we might make it to Cherrygrove easy…" Jet thought.

Jet tried picking up speed as to catch up with Maya, but she was to fast for him. He silently asked himself how she could move so quickly.

"Well, it's not like she hasn't had much practice…" he reminded himself. "We did run from the cops a lot when we were kids."

Jet smirked at the thought of his and Maya's childhood. Though it had been a horrible one, they'd both had at least a few good times in it. He remembered how once, Jet had been over at Maya's house while her dad was drunk. Now THAT had been a day to remember…

Flashback

Jet peeked into the living-room window of Maya's house. Her father was drunk, as usual, watching football on the television. Maya was sitting on the floor, nursing her wounds from her latest beating. Jet felt angry, not only with Maya's father, but with himself for not being able to help his friend. Suddenly, he got an idea. An evil little smile formed on his lips, and he began looking through the backpack that he always had with him. From it, he produced an old Halloween mask. The mask resembles a green goblin, with burning red eyes, and a long, pointed nose. He never could figure out why he kept it in there, but now he was glad he had it. He was going to need it for his plan. He quickly slipped on the mask, and headed for the front door. He then knocked on the door.

"GO ANSWER IT, YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SKIN!" Jet heard Maya's father yell.

He heard footsteps coming toward the door, and a few seconds later, Maya opened it. At first, she looked shocked, but she quickly smiled when Jet lifted his mask, revealing his smirking face.

"Daddy, someone is at the door for you!" Maya called, catching the meaning of the mask on his face.

"WELL THEN LET THEM IN!" he yelled at her.

Maya smirked and led Jet into the house. Jet stifled a laugh beneath his mask as his friend led him to the living-room.

"Here he is daddy." Maya said, quickly leaving the room.

Maya's father turned to look at Jet, and gasped in horror. Just as Jet had guessed, Maya's father had consumed so much alcohol, that his vision was extremely impaired, making Jet look like a monster from a nightmare. The man screamed and ran from the room, knocking over a lamp as he did. Maya ran back into the room a few seconds later, laughing so hard, that she fell on the floor. After a few minutes, Jet left, knowing that Maya's father would come looking for the "monster" he'd seen. After saying goodbye, Jet took off to his own home, knowing he would have to go back sooner or later…

End of Flashback

Jet grinned at the memory. Maya's father had never really figured out where the monster had come from, or who it was, so it had remained, and was still to this day, a secret kept between Maya and Jet. He shook his head and looked up ahead. They were finally entering the town, running toward the Pokemon-Center up ahead. Maya was still running at full speed, not looking the least bit tired. Now all they had to do was get help…

To be continued…

Ok, I didn't know what to put in this chapter, so I did a "Flashback" chapter. Next chapter, we'll find out if Mewtwo will make it or not! Till then, seeya!
