The story begins with Max waking up at 8:00 pm, right as his plane touches the ground in Kalos. He gets off the plane to discover that it's night time in the town of Kassings. He decides to stay at the airport for the night and begin his new quest, what ever it was going to be, on foot tomorrow. He buys some thing to eat at the airport diner since his parents gave him 800 dollars to help him get started and settled once he got to Kalos. After eating and drinking some fries, a burger, and a milk shake, Max goes to where all the chairs are in the airport and goes to sleep at 2:00 am.
Max wakes up with a bad back from sleeping in a chair at 8:00 am. He goes to the airport diner and buys some stakes and eggs. He waits a long time on a blue seat, in the corner of the diner and the waiter finally brings it out. Before the waiter leaves his table after handing him the food, he starts a little conversation with Max.
WAITER: You don't look like you're around from here little fella.
MAX: I'm not that little.
WAITER: Sorry about that.
MAX: It's alright and i've come here from the Hoenn region to not look back and to make a fresh start.
WAITER: Well kid, you seem like a good boy and i hope you find what you're looking for.
MAX: Thank you.
WAITER: (walking away) Your welcome.
Little does Max know, there is a 13 year old boy with a metal arm, black spiky hair, wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and black boots, sitting in a different booth with his back facing Max. He ended up hearing the whole conversation with out eaves dropping and decides to head over with his tray of eggs and steaks to where Max was sitting to talk to him about an offer of his.
ZET: Hey little boy, can i sit with you to talk about dude stuff?
MAX: I'm not a little boy.
ZET: Can i sit with you dude?
MAX: That's better.
ZET: (siting down in front of Max) I couldn't help but over hear your conversation with the waiter about a better life.
MAX: Where are you going with this, mysterious stranger?
ZET: Lets start over again.
ZET: My name is Zet.
MAX: How old are you Zet?
ZET: 13 and smart.
MAX: My name is Max and i'm 8 years old and awesome.
ZET: You sure are young to be traveling by yourself.
MAX: My parents and my big sis allowed me to start out a journey alone.
ZET: I can understand your parents allowing you, but your older sister actually had a say in it too?
MAX: Not really, it's just that my big sister is bossy and over protective of me.
ZET: Sounds like you have a crazy sister and amazing parents.
MAX: You hit the nail on the head.
ZET: Just out of curiosity, are there any other reasons why you left your region besides getting away from it all.
MAX: I also left for personal reasons.
ZET: Interesting!
MAX: Just so you know, it had nothing to do with my sister, even if we argue a lot.
ZET: Your words; not mine.
ZET: (eating and talking at the same time) These stakes and eggs are good.
MAX: (adding salt to his stakes and eggs) Needs salt.
ZET: By the way, i told you that i over heard your conversation with the waiter about your quest for a better life and since we're sort of like friends, i would really like to hear a little about your past.
MAX: There were some bad and good things about my past.
ZET: It may not be my place, but maybe if you talked to me about the bad parts of your past, i can give you some advice on how to not let your past determine your future.
MAX: How?
ZET: Lets just say i have some experience about dealing with a bad past and trying to make a better life for myself by moving on.
MAX: It's not something i like to remember.
MAX: I was around kids my own age whom i didn't really care for.
MAX: Back in the Hoenn region, i traveled with my sister May who wanted to be a pokemon coordinator, Ash who wanted to be a pokemon master, and Brock who wanted to be a pokemon breeder, but they're not the kids i'm talking about from my past.
ZET: Sounds like you lived an interesting life.
MAX: Yeah and my time in Hoenn with the gang was the best part of my past.
MAX: Here's the thing, my family and friends don't know about my dark past.
ZET: You seem to be getting quite serious now.
MAX: Like i said, i was around people whom i didn't really care for and i did bad things with them.
ZET: What kind of bad things?
MAX: I'd rather not go into details.
MAX: Lets just say that i died once and that i saw death itself.
ZET: Wow, i'm sorry to hear that.
MAX: I've lived a very dangerous life to say the least.
ZET: I believe you and by the way, i'm a very level headed person just like you and i think i can give you some purpose in life as well as usefulness and happiness.
MAX: How?
ZET: What if i told you that i was the leader of a one man group of Bad Dude Bounty Hunters?
MAX: I would say that my name is Max and since we've just met, i see no reason for you to lie to me.
ZET: (getting up from table) Even though i have only 1 bike outside, you can ride on the back of it.
MAX: (getting up from table) I know a good 14 year old friend of mine, who lives in this town, who goes by the name Doohan.
MAX: He used to live in the same neighborhood with me, back in Hoenn until his family moved here to Kalos and he might be able to give me items that could be of use to us.
ZET: Sounds like a good plan to me, but you haven't answered my question which is understandable since i didn't flat out ask it.
MAX: Lets go to Doohan's garage and i promise you that i won't let his opinion determine my decision about your interesting offer.
ZET: I believe you.
After an hour or two, after leaving the airport, Max and Zet finally make it to Doohan's garage where he was working on his skate board while his parents were out on errands. Max has a quick flash back of his father before walking up to Doohan's garage.
[Flash back begins]
NORMAN: Try to make at least one friend, son!
[Flash back ends]
DOOHAN: (over joyed) WELL WELL WELL, long time no see mad Max.
MAX: Nice to see you too, dangerous Doohan.
They hug.
DOOHAN: Who's your friend?
MAX: This interesting dude is Zet.
DOOHAN: Nice to meet you.
ZET: Like wise.
DOOHAN: What brings you to Kalos?
MAX: I asked my parents if i could go on a new quest here by myself and they said they would let me for a maximum of 3 years.
DOOHAN: Awesome dude and what about manic May?
DOOHAN: Is she still a maniac?
MAX: (jokingly and seriously) Oh yeah and she's gotten worser with age.
DOOHAN: (laughing out loud) HA HA HA HA HA HA!
DOOHAN: Zet my man, you would not want to bump into this dude's big sister in a dark alley when she's angry.
ZET: I'll take your word for it.
DOOHAN: She puts the word "mania" in "maniac".
ZET: Ha ha ha!
MAX: You always were good at using your words cleverly.
MAX: I hate to make this a short visit, but me and Zet here might go on a journey together and i would like it if you gave me one of your one foot 19 inch steel bars and that bike with the words "Trouble Maker" on it.
MAX: If or if i don't go with him, i would still like to have one for protection and that cool bike.
DOOHAN: (handing him a 19 inch steel bar that his dad doesn't use any more) Here you go dude.
DOOHAN: My old man doesn't use that thing any more, so it's yours now.
DOOHAN: That bike of mine is actually called the "Swordfish" and i take that piece of plastic with the words "Trouble Maker" off when ever i ride on it through the neighborhood, so people don't get the wrong idea.
MAX: Very clever.
DOOHAN: Since you're an old friend of mine, i'll give you the swordfish for 100 dollars.
MAX: (putting his right hand in his pocket, taking out 100 dollars, and handing it too Doohan) Here you go.
DOOHAN: (taking the money) Thanks for your business.
MAX: Thanks old friend.
DOOHAN: Just remember, having a weapon for self defense is an awesome gift and please take care of the swordfish for me!
MAX: I will.
MAX (walking out of the garage with Zet) Well this is good bye Doohan.
DOOHAN: Good bye Max and Zet.
MAX and ZET: (talking while getting on their bikes and peddaling off) See you later alligator.
DOOHAN: (waving good bye) IN A WHILE CROCODILES.
Max and Zet peddal on their bikes for 45 minutes before stopping at a park to talk some more. There they discuss Bad Dude Bounty Hunters.
ZET: I wasn't joking when i said i was a bad dude bounty hunter, meaning that i help out the cops by catching criminals for them to make a profit.
ZET: I also wasn't joking when i said i could help you get some purpose in your life.
ZET: So what do you say Max?
ZET: You want to partner up?
MAX: You're asking for a lot Zet.
ZET: I know you're only 8 years old and i know you only know next to nothing about being a bad dude bounty hunter, but the moment i heard you talking to that waiter, i felt something special about you Max.
ZET: Not only that, but you said that you did bad things in your past with bad people, right?
MAX: More than i care to remember.
ZET: Well than, think of this as your shot at making it up to those you've hurt.
ZET: Even if you're kinda short and very young, i bet you're a decent fighter and i bet you're pretty handy with that new metal bar of yours, so what do you say?
MAX: I'm in.
ZET: (over joyed) YES YES YES!
MAX: So what's the first thing we do together partner?
ZET: First i have to make you take an oath before i can really hire you to work with me.
ZET: (raising his right hand and putting his left hand on his forehead) Repeat after me!
ZET: I Max, will help females and dudes every where by hunting down bad girls and bad dudes.
MAX: (raising his right hand and placing his left hand on his forehead) I Max, will help females and dudes every where by hunting down bad girls and bad dudes.
ZET: While using logic and common sense, even if i have to put myself in danger sometimes.
MAX: While using logic and common sense, even if i have to put myself in danger sometimes.
ZET: (raising voice while not getting mad) FOR AWESOME DUDES EVERY WHERE.
MAX: FOR AWESOME DUDES EVERY WHERE.
ZET: (shaking Max's hand) Congratulations Max.
ZET: You are now a bad dude bounty hunter.
MAX: (shaking Zet's hand) And proud to be one.
MAX: (stops shaking Zet's hand) So now what do we do partner?
ZET: Lets go get some lunch, then a movie, then dinner at this cheap diner i know about, and then we'll bike over to the police station tomorrow to see if we can help Officer Jenny find any bad dudes that might be lurking in Kassings.
MAX: Awesome!
Both Max and Zet have lunch, see a 2 hour movie, have dinner, and then sleep in the park for the night. As they think of what their first mission together will be like before they drift off to sleep.
I hope you all liked this interesting chapter. Yet again, Max doesn't like to go into specifics about his dark past. It's almost like he's running away from some one or some thing. My 9th one is when it's really going to start getting good. Even so, please don't skip chapters! Each chapter is like a little story in itself. Chapter 4 will probably be a lot better than chapter 3. Please type up your reviews for what you thought about this chapter! Stay curious my friends!
