"You enjoying you're bagel mister Calamari?" The cop asked from the other side of the table as Calamari sat and munched on his bagel, the squid looked ad flashed her a grin. "Yes I am, thank you for asking." Calamari said smugly as he continued chewing the flour product that the cop had obtained for him.

"I'm glad that you're happy mister Calamari, but could we get back to business. When was the next time you saw those kids?" The cop asked, Calamari swallowed what was left of the bagel and smiled. "Ah, that's a good part in the story, wouldn't want to miss telling you that."

"Whats up Maylene?" Calamari said happily as he walked into the back of the gym where Maylene lived, despite being a teenager she lived by herself. Which was fine since the gym was always inhabitated by many people looking to train. Maylene smiled at him from her kitchen table, her lucario sitting at the other end smiled at him as well.

"Nothing much Calamari, i'm just hoping you didn't get in too much trouble on your way here." Maylene replied, Calamari smiled as he opened his backpack.

"I didn't get in too much trouble, I mugged a group of trainers for a little spending money and food, but that was it." Calamari said, Maylene frowned at his comment. "You didn't have to do that you know, there are other ways to get cash." Maylene said in a serious tone, Calamari stared at her with a grin on his face and pretty soon a similar grin appeared on Maylene's face.

"Your right Maylene, but you shouldn't be too surprised, I mean it's me your talking to." Calamari said with a chuckle at the end of his sentence, Maylene chuckled as well. "Yeah I guess, so are you gonna stay awhile?" Maylene asked, Calamari smiled as he walked up to Maylene's sofa and laid down on it.

"Might as well, I got no other place to crash and I believe my pokemon need a rest as much as me." Calamari said lazily, he then reached into his pocket and pulled out 6 miniature capsules. "Which reminds me, do you think you could let these little guys run around outside for a bit." Calamari asked, MAylene nodded and walked up to him to relieve him of his pokemon, Calamari smiled.

"Thanks, take care of them girl, your the only one I trust to handle my partners." Calamari said sleepily, maylene grinned at the compliment and walked outside.

"Not sure what happened next, I fell asleep on the couch for awhile before I was very rudely interrupted." Calamari said to the cop.

"Could you settle your business with him later, he's sleeping right now" Calamari heard Maylene say, it sounded as though she was behind the door of the house. Calamari sleepily opened one of his eyes slightly to see what was happening.

"I don't care, that jerk stole our food, our cash, and left us paralyzed, disturbing his nap is the least we could do to him!" A voice yelled from behind the door. Calamari groaned at the realization that the kids he robbed on the road were coming to pay him a visit. The door slammed open and Calamari noticed the small pink girl and the green boy walking over to him, obviously they were very angry at him. Maylene and the short purple boy stood behind them looking scared.

"There you are! We've been looking for you for you ever since you stole our food and money, you'd better give it all back!" The girl screamed at him, Calamari smiled as he slowly got up.

"How'd you find me?" Calamari asked, while glancing over at Maylene, who looked pretty nervous. "We were looking for the gym leader so we could battle and earn her gym badge, but then we saw your pokemon outside the gym with this girl playing beside them." The green boy said as he gave him a small shove. Calamari shrugged off the shove with a smile on his face.

"Okay then, I admit to stealing your stuff. But I have to ask what you expect to do about it, judging by your age I'm willing to suspect your pokemon aren't trained enough to battle mine. I'm also willing to speculate that your physical prowess is also unable to take me on." Calamari said smugly as he leaned down until his eyes met the green boys. The boy showed a bit of fear in his eyes as Calamari looked at him, but Calamari noticed that the boy didn't want to show how scared he was.

"However, since i'm in a good mood I'll humor you guys." Calamari said as he walked towards the door. "Stand aside Maylene, I gotta get Victreebel" Calamari said, Maylene stood aside and Calamari walked out of the house and the gym. When he stepped outside he saw his pokemon already waiting for him, Whiscash appeared to shiver. Calamari walked over to his Whiscash and gave him a small hug.

"Don't worry Whiscash, I know your a little cold, but once this mess is over I'll take you out for a nice hot meal. How's that sound?" Calamari asked, Whiscash smiled. "Whis!" Whiscash said happily, Calamari smiled. "That's the spirit, we'll even go to that seven star place you like." Calamari said, then he turned around to face the three pokemon trainers. The purple boy appeared to have his expression softened, while the other two still appeared to be ready to kill him.

"Okay then, now that we're outside I'll just be taking my pokemon and ride off on my Steelix." Calamari said, before the trainers could react to what he said he threw a pokeball in the air and his 40-foot tall Steelix came out in a flash of light. "K guys, hop on Steelix's back and let's get out of here!" Calamari yelled, His pokemon quickly jumped and grabbed the giant pokemon's back as the pokemon started to crawl at an extremely fast pace. Calamari heard the trainers behind him screaming at him, but he didn't care much.

"Okay, that was a close one. Now let's see if anybody got left behind." Calimari said to himself as he turned his head around to check on his pokemon. "Okay, we got Camerupt, Electivire, Rhyperior, Victreebel and...Oh shit!" Calamari yelled as he realized something.

"We forgot Whiscash at the gym!"

"So you forgot your pokemon at the place where you just escaped huh, that must have been rough." The cop said, Calamari glared at her.

"Whiscash is a very young pokemon, if any of my other pokemon were left behind they could catch up and meet us later. Whiscash was absolutely terrified at being left behind with the trainers who I just got into a fight with. I felt terrible about leaving him behind." Calamari said sadly, the cop stared at him with compassion in her eyes.

"That's why we went back for him."
