Disclaimer: Dont own pokemon or the chars. But I do own sum of the chars. and this fic.

Authors note: Hey, all! Sorry, for the wait. But I've been really busy. And had writers block. But now I'm back, and ready to type. On with the Recap, chapter name, and story. R&R.

Recap: "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.

Chapter 18: What the hell...?!?!

Nicole watched helplessly as her Garyadoes was takin away. After the were out of view, she fell to the ground. Her knees hitting first, and then the palms of her hands. She was shaking from anger and fear. Some tears trickled down her face and created small spots on the cement. She whispered to herself "I've failed. I've failed you father."

May, Tracey, and Ash looked at Nicole helplessly. Then May broke the silence, and walked over to Nicole and told her "It would be alright. We'll get your pokemon back." May went to touch her shoulder, and comfort her.

Nicole felt the presence of May near. She pushed herself off the ground and began to yell, "NO!, It's not alright. I just let my father's pokemon get takin. Do you know what that puts on me!?!" She came to her feet shaking a bit.

"I may not know what that feels like, but I should know how it hurts someone. After all, I would know." May then stormed out.

Ash and Tracey stood there, and then Ash went to Nicole's side. As, Tracey ran after May.

"It'll be alright." Ash said, as he walked over to Nicole.

"No, it wont." She had many tears streaming down her cheeks.

Ash backed up a bit, at the feeling. He then sighed and looked down. As he did that he saw a small photo in the water. He bent down and picked it up. He looked at it, the picture had him, Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi in it. The first thing he spotted was Misty. He thought to himself 'Damn, you were so beautiful. I miss you.' He then remembered the girl who just stole Nicoles pokemon. 'What did she mean?'

Nicole got up, and brushed past Ash. She walked towards her office. Ash just stood there looking at the picture, and then glanced up to see Nicole leave.

Ash walked around the Aquarium a bit before bumping into someone. As fell backwards and landed on the ground. "What the hell?!" He said while falling.

The misterious person stood there, and looked down. "Hey, Ash." The voice to the person was deep and it was a males voice.

Ash looked up after falling over. As he looked up he noticed the person was a wearing a black shirt and pants with a grey vest. His hair was dark brown and his eyes were open (Heh, yeah. Well, their never open. .) his had a certain gleem in them.

Ash rose to his feet and looked at the person and dusted himself off. "Ugh, my head. And who are you?!" Ash asked in a somewhat calm voice.

"What you don't reconginze me?" He said, and looked down at Ash.

Ash took another look at the person."Brock?!" Ash asked stunned.

"Well, of course it's me." He smirked.

"What happened to your other style?" He asked curious of his old friend.

"Things change. I see you haven't changed much."

Ash remembered the girl who stole Nicole's pokemon, said something like that. "Hey, have you seen that girl who joined the Aqua Team?" Ash questioned.

"Yeah. I saw her on the Tele. She's gorgeous." He began to drool, just thinking about her.

"Yo, you're getting off the topic." Ash stated, while leaning up againest a wall. While his Pikachu sat on his head.

"Er... Sorry. But yeah, she's hot. And very skilled. She's like the best on the team, next to her father." He said doing the same, on a different wall.

"I see." He said putting his hand to his chin. "Well, lets go." He pushes himself from the wall, and walks down the hall.

"Sorry, can't go. I came here to look after Nicole. By any chance do you know where she is?"

"Yeah. In her office. Okay, talk to you later. Now I got to find May and Tracey. May ran off and Tracey went after her." Ash finished and walked off.

Brock walked in the direction of her office.
