Recap: May walked over and picked up a piece of cloth. "See." "Oh. Sorry.. May, was it?" She appologized. "No problem." She responded. The two guys stood there, slightly dumbfounded.

Chapter 17: Who's the mystery man?

Okay, thanks for the reviews everyone! R&R!

After awhile, everyone was out eating lunch. (I'm not sure if I gave the trainer a name. But I'm guna name her Nicole.) Nicole had talkin them out to eat. While they were there, May hadn't eatin much of anything.

"Hey, May?" Tracey asked as he finished his lunch.

"Hmm?" She looked up. "What is it?"

"You haven't aten much. Are you hungry?" Tracey looked at her plate.

"No, not really. Will you excuse me?" May said after getting up and bowing thanks to Nicole for lunch. May began to walk towards the direction of the girls restroom.

Ash looked up from his plate. "Where'd May go?" He asked a bit dumbfounded.

Nicole accepted the bow, from May. And smiled. "She went to the ladies room."

Ash looked over at Nicole. "Oh. Okay, then." Back to May.

As May walked towads the ladies room, she pulled out her cell phone. She dialed a number and someone picked up the phone; on the other end. "Hello?" They said in unision. "Did you succeed?" The voice over the phone asked. "No, not yet. But I will manage to." The voice on the other end was a females voice. After saying that she hung up, and walked out of the bathroom and back to the other people. Everyone else.

"Well, I'm full." Ash and Tracey said in unision. Soon, Nicole was finished with her meal.

Nicole looked up to see May walking back. "Welcome back, May. Are you feeling better?"

May looked up a bit confused and remembered why she left. "Oh, yes. Yes, I am." She stood by her chair. "Well? Are we ready to go?"

Nicole looked up and stood by her chair, and then paid the man. The two boys followed the girls. "Well, lets go back to the aquarium." Everyone followed Nicole. Soon, they were back in Nicole's office. And something was missing. Nicole rushed out of the office and ran towards the pools of water with her pokemon in them... Or supposed to be in them. When Nicole reached the last tank, she looked through the glass and saw he Garyados struggling. She ran to the top and saw people from the aqua team (that water team from the honien area). She called forth her Goldeen. And yelled for her to use Horn Drill. (horn drill, is one of the attacks Goldeen has; right?) Soon Ash, Tracey and May came running up behind Nicole.

"Who are you?!" Nicole demanded.

A girl with orange hair chuckled. "It's not who am I. It's who we are." As she said that more people showed up behind her, and people hung from helecopters. The girl with orange hair, wore a arm band, that had 4 stars a bigger badge then everyone else. Clearly, she was the leader.

Ash studied the girl's hair, and eyes. Thoughts of Misty crossed his mind. And then he was shooken from his thoughts as someone pushed him.

May and pushed Ash out of the way, because the girl with orange hair, called out her Golduck. And had it use a psybeam. Ash looked up, and clearly thought this out. 'Damn, this can't be her. But on the news all those years ago, they said that the Aqua Team had a new member or two.' Ash jumped up and called forth his Pikachu.

"Pickachu! I choose you!" He shouted. The girl with orange hair looked up, she chuckled. "What's that gonna do? Your weak Pikachu, can't beat my Golduck." She said through cockiness.

Ash growled through clenched teeth, and Pikachu sat on a bar. He didn't budge. Pikachu knew who this was. Ash didn't care who it was, he was too caught up in the moment till, something she said.

"Ash, your just the same pittiful little boy. And you'll always remain that way." She chuckled again, and held up a picture. She looked at it. "How sad." She disposed of the picture and it floated down into the water. Her cell rang. "Hello?" She asked, and on the other end, someone said "Get out of there."... "Chill pop." "NOW!!" "Ok." She hung up the phone. And looked up. "Well, we'll meet again." She jumped up onto a rope, and called her Golduck back. They carried Nicole's Garyadoes off. And dropped it into the ocean.

Sorry, I know it's so short. But yeah, I'm just not in the mood to type. Next chapter: What the hell..?!?!!
