Now in the center of the Kalos region, which is Miare City, a city with a golden palace and a barren waste land with pod-like buildings also seen, Zet decides to have a big team meeting, since they are in the park, in a big city, that looks like a ghost town with no one in it. After a few weeks of not being able to get Mack Yenrai, the former leader of the White Dragon syndicate and his connections with Max, out of his mind, he asks Max what's he hiding from the rest of the team and his answers about his former life, shocks every one. Even Ellie, as strange and laid back as she is, becomes shocked.
While Vivi, Ellie, and poochyena are eating an early lunch near the tent, at the park. Zet walks a few yards away from the camp site to where Max is standing. He then tells Max about an important team meeting that he must attend.
ZET: (walking up to him from behind) Hey Max.
MAX: (standing on a hill) Hello Zet.
ZET: I was just wondering if you we're still hungry and what you were doing.
MAX: No, i ate plenty of Vivi's surprise potatoes.
MAX: The surprise is that they taste like pokemon food.
MAX: The bad kind of pokemon food.
ZET: (laughing out loud) HA HA HA HA HA!
ZET: Yeah, i really hated them too.
MAX: As for what i'm doing, i'm looking at the gray cloudy sky and the cool looking pod-like buildings.
MAX: Miare City is so cool and creepy looking on a windy cloudy day.
ZET: That's so true.
ZET: Hey Max, i'm going to be holding a very important team meeting in about an hour at the camp site and you're going to be the guest of honor.
MAX: Sounds interesting, but what do you mean?
ZET: You'll find out soon enough.
MAX: Sure thing, but can i continue to look at this amazing view until then.
ZET: Sure, but remember, the team meeting starts at 2:00 pm.
MAX: Okay!
ZET: (walking away waving) See you then.
MAX: Yes!
3 minutes later, Zet returns to the camp site and tells every one about the team meeting that's 54 minutes away and that Max will be the main subject of the conversation.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) There you are Zet.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) You haven't eaten all the potatoes on your plate.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) They're going to get colder.
ZET: (sitting down) Thanks, but i'm already full.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) So where's mister blue head?
ZET: Who?
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) You know, Max.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) The kid with the blue hair.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) Where is he?
POOCHYENA: Poochy!
ZET: He is standing on a hill, looking at the cloudy sky and the interesting pod-like buildings.
ELLIE: The rare poddy pod-like building thingys are so mysterious and so is Max.
ZET: Yeah, no kidding.
VIVI: (talking and eating her last potato) What's that suppose to mean?
Vivi finishes off her last potato.
ZET: Nothing!
ZET: Listen up every one!
ZET: In less then 1 hour, we're going to have an important team meeting and Max is going to be the main subject and our guest of honor.
ZET: It will start at 2:00 pm.
ELLIE: What is the meeting going to be about specifically and why is Max going to be the guest of honor?
VIVI: That's what i'd like to know.
VIVI: Is there some thing you boys are hiding from us girls?
ZET: It's not like that.
VIVI: Than what is it?
ELLIE: (bouncing up and down) Tell tell tell tell tell!
VIVI: Yeah, tell us!
ZET: Believe me, i know next to nothing about what's going to be discussed at this meeting and i'm just as clue less as you are.
VIVI: You're speaking in riddles again.
VIVI: What's going on Zet?
ZET: It'll just have to wait until the meeting.
ZET: Lets just say that there are some things about our friend Max that we need to know about.
VIVI: I get the bad feeling that this meeting isn't going to be a good one.
The watch strikes 2:00 pm and Max walks into the camp site and sits down with the rest of the crew.
MAX: (excited) So Zet, what is this meeting going to be about and why am i the guest of honor?
ZET: I think you know what the reason for this team meeting is.
ZET: You are extremely smart for your age.
MAX: (excited) Well i don't like to brag, but when it comes to intelligence, i put other 8 year olds to shame.
MAX: (excited) Believe it or not, but i know more about pokemon than my older sister May does.
ZET: That's not what this meeting is about Max and you know it.
MAX: (excited) I may be super smart, but i can't see into the future.
MAX: (excited) So how about you tell me what this surprise meeting is suppose to be about?
MAX: (excited) I'm really excited about this special meeting.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Max, it's time for you to start talking about your connections to Mack Yenrai and his crime syndicate.
Max's personality goes from excited to slightly nervous.
MAX: (feeling slightly nervous) Look Zet, i don't know why you would bring up him out of the blue like that, but there's no use in talking about him now that he's a goner.
ELLIE: Who's this Mack Yenrai person?
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) He was a big crime boss that was killed a few weeks ago and i get the bad feeling that he was also some one from Max's past.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Am i right or wrong Max?
MAX: (feeling slightly nervous) Don't go there Zet!
VIVI: (getting a little impatient) Could some one please tell me what it is that needs to be said already!
ELLIE: (talking kinda seriously) I want to know too.
POOCHYENA: (also talking seriously) Poochyena poochy poochy poochy!
MAX: (feeling slightly nervous) Just let it go people!
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Enough is enough.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Max, you, me, Vivi, Ellie, and poochyena are in a deserted city that looks like a ghost town and because of that, we're safe from prying eyes and people that might want to listen in on us.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Don't hold back!
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) You can tell us every thing with out fearing some one discovering it and i mean every thing.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) A few weeks ago, during the Mack Yenrai crisis, just before you were about to leave for parts unknown with a few new weapons, i asked you flat out, why were you going where you were going after i told you that you were walking into a trap and your exact words were "Lets just say that my past is catching up to me.".
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) 3 days later, after falling through a window that was 30 or 40 feet from the ground, you had bandages all over your body.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) If me and Vivi hadn't gotten you to the hospital and then brought you back to camp after the doctors said it was okay, you would've been a lot worser off.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Not only that, but when i came to meet Vivi at the crime scene, she was trying to wake you up and there were a bunch of dead people that had been shot up inside the building you were fighting in.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) It's a miracle that the doctors said it was okay for me and Vivi to take you back to camp after being in the hospital for 24 hours.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) With all that being said, it was those exact words that you said to me that's really been bothering me.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) You remember those words.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) "Lets just say that my past is catching up to me.".
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) You refused to answer my question and that, even as a hint, is a dangerous thing to do.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I basically told you that even though Mack Yenrai was worth 23000 dollars, going after him may be too dangerous, even for some one like you, but even though you knew you were walking into a possible fatal trap, you decided to go any way and i know it wasn't just to rescue Vivi.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I think you're trying to hide some thing and you'd risk your life to protect it.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Some thing or maybe some one.
Max begins to rub his fore head, like he has a head ache.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I want the truth and don't leave any thing out!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Once I tell you all the truth, there will be no going back.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I'm sure after it's all said and done, we'll still think of you as a friend and team member.
VIVI: (getting very curious) We do want to know.
ELLIE: (getting very curious too) That makes 3 of us.
POOCHYENA: (also getting very curious) Poochyena poochyena poochyena!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) It all started a few weeks after my 4th birth day.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) It was my first day of kinder garden.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That was the very first day i met him.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Who?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) My kinder garden teacher, Mack Yenrai.
The rest of the group gasps.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Even though i was 4 at the time, i entered kinder garden and i was in a class room filled with 5 year olds.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The weird and scary part was that some of my class mates weren't exactly normal 5 year olds, if ya catch my drift.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I don't really like the fact that i do kinda under stand what you're telling me.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any way, the school principal wasn't exactly what she appeared to be either.
VIVI: (feeling hesitation) I'm almost afraid to ask this, but what does that mean?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I'll get to that part later.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, there were 19 other kids in my class.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The principal introduced Mack Yenrai to my whole class and told us he was from a different region.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) On my first day, me and Mack hit it off quite well.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He seemed like a nice man and he seemed to be taking a liking to me.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) My third day in kinder garden wasn't a very good day.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Some of the school bullies beat me up on the play ground just because i wore glasses.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Just before class ended that day, Mack saw me siting in the corner of the class room with an angry expression on my face and asked me what was wrong.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I told him that 4 jerks beat me up and that i hated them, just because they hated me for being different than them and then he said to me "Max, your hatred for your enemies is impressive.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, he said to me "Kid, you remind me a little of my self at your age, only i was a little older then you.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After hearing that, i asked him "What do you mean?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) His response was "I guess you could say i learned how to deal with my enemies very harshly when i was a little older then you.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He walked away from me after saying that.
VIVI: As a little kid, didn't that creep you out a little?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Not at all, since i didn't under stand what he was saying.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) My 4th day of kinder garden was even worse.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) It was recess time and i was sitting near the wall, watching the other kids play while i was thinking hard about what happened the night before.
ELLIE: What happened the night before?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I got into a big argument with my stupid older sister May, about my TV time.
ELLIE: I didn't know you had an older sister.
MAX: I forgot to tell you about her and the fact that i traveled all over the hoenn region, which is where i'm from, with my friends Ash, Brock, and pikachu.
ELLIE: Sounds interesting.
VIVI: I hate to interrupt you 2, but Max, you were in the middle of saying some thing.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, i wanted to watch my usual TV show every week night before i went to bed, but there was a special on that she wanted to see, so she grabbed the remote from me, 5 minutes after my show started.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I told her in a polite manner to give me back the remote, since i was watching TV and she said "Since i'm bigger and older than you, i have the right to watch TV any time i want too.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) She went on to say that "I also have the right to take the remote from you too.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when i got mad and tried to take the remote from her and then we were engaged in a tug of war for the remote, until our parents came in the living room and interrupted the fight.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) We both told our sides of the story and my parents sided with May and even getting mad at me because i was wrestling with my sister who is a girl by the way.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) They said to me it didn't matter what the reasons were and that it's wrong for me to lay my hands on a girl out of anger, even if the girl is bigger then me.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, on my 4th day, Mack saw that i was in another angry mood and approached me.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He sat next to me near the wall and said to me "What seems to be the problem this time?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) My exact words were "I had a fight with my stupid older sister over the remote and my parents took her side.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then he said "That's not reasonable and it sounds to me that you get pushed around a lot, which makes me mad, since you and i are already good friends.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then he said "Even though our age difference is a few decades apart, i still think of you as my good friend and my favorite student.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He went on to say that "How ever, it bothers me that you get treated like common trash and i hope that one day, what ever your hopes, dreams, and desires may be, that you get what you want and deserve.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then i said "Thank you." and my mood changed from mad to glad in an instant.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then he asked me "What are your hopes, dreams, and desires Max?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then i said "Well i don't want to be accused of asking for too much, but if i could become the king of revenge and get back at those that i hate, may be i could finally get some peace in my life.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) What he asked me next, really got my attention.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He asked me "What if i told you that with the proper training, i might be able to help you accomplish your goals?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I sat there for a few seconds, next to him, in silence, with curiousity, and what he asked me next, really got my attention and i mean really.
ZET, VIVI, and ELLIE: (wanting to know badly) Tell us!
POOCHYENA: (also wanting to know badly) Poochy!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) His exact words were and i don't think i'll ever forget these words, were "How would you like to be part of a big group that believes in doing both evil and good at the same time?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Then i asked him "What are you saying?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, he said "Please call me Mack and what i'm offering you is a chance to join my syndicate.".
ZET: (yelling with fury) THAT LOW LIFE SCUM TRIED TO GET YOU TO JOIN A MAJOR CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION AT THE AGE OF 4 YEARS OLD?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Yes!
ZET: (yelling with fury) USING A LITTLE KID TO ACCOMPLISH YOUR OWN GOALS IS JUST SICKENING.
ZET: (yelling with fury) MAX, YOU DIDN'T DESERVE THAT TO HAPPEN TO YOU.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Please stop insulting my frenemy!
ZET: (feeling very confused) Why are you defending him?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Because he was one of those evodist people.
ZET: (feeling very confused) What does that even mean?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) "Evodist" is a new word i created.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The definition i created for this word is "A person that is both evil and good at the same time.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) E v are the first 2 letters in the word "evil" and o d are the 2 last letters in the word "good".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Do you get it now?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's why i created the word "Evod" with the "ist" as the suffix to have that kind of definition.
ZET: (impressed) I do get it now.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Mack Yenrai may have been an evil man, but at the same time he had some good in him.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, i asked him what is a syndicate and he told me "It's a big organization of people with one goal in mind.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He then went on to say "Make no mistake, not all syndicates in the world are the same and that some have different goals than others.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, he got up, stood up, lifted his right hand towards me, and said "I don't believe in forcing my self on people, but i'll ask 1 more time Max, would you like to join my syndicate?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I then got up, stood up, shaked his right hand with my right hand, and said to him "Mack Yenrai, you've got your self a deal.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That was the day my life changed.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He told me that my training would begin the next day, that i should isolate and target one of the bullies that beat me up if i could, and that i should be proud to be a member of the White Dragon syndicate.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He also told me not to tell any one else that i joined his syndicate and to only talk to him and other members of the syndicate about things that involved the syndicate.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The next school day, 1 of the bullies that beat me up, just happened to be all alone in the boy's bath room, so i attacked him from behind and hit him in the head with my hands until he coud barely move and i left the boys bath room.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, he tried to tell the principal on me, but the principal didn't act like she believed him and then he tried to tell Mack what i had did, but Mack acted like he didn't believe him either, even though they both knew he wasn't lying.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I forgot to mention that the name of the bully that i attacked in the bath room was Rodd and he was the leader of the other 3 bullies that beat me up.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The other's names were Zack, Colin, and Kevin.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, the day after the bath room attack, i was siting near the wall, away from all the loud annoying kids during recess, when Mack, Ava, and 3 other kids from my class room approached me.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Mack then said to me "Max, i want to introduce you to Ava, who has been with my syndicate for a while now, and Gran, Ling, and Shin.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He then went on to say "I had a talk with these 3 and they've decided to join our syndicate.".
ZET: (yelling with fury) UNBELIEVEABLE!
VIVI: (getting very curious about what Max was saying) Please calm down Zet!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) As i was saying, Mack introduced me and all of us talked for a few minutes and got to know each other better.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) What surprised me the most was that Gran, Ling, and Shin, told me, Ava, and Mack that they have been bullied by the same 4 bullies i just mentioned while being isolated from others.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After hearing that, i didn't feel bad at all about kicking that bully's butt, while he and i were all alone in the boys bath room.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That day, i got 4 new allies and friends.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, Mack and the school principal, who went by the name Ava, made it easy for me, Gran, Ling, and Shin to beat up Rodd, Zack, Colin, and Kevin and get away with it.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Hold on.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Are you telling me that your principal's name was Ava and she was from Mack's syndicate too?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's exactly what i'm saying Zet.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Do you remember when we were having that conversation about Mack a few weeks ago and you were reading the paper with info about the reward money for his capture?
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Yes!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that little argument you and i had, i left to do some research on Mack, by going to visit a shop comic book store owner named Anna.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Who's Anna and what's she got to do with any of this?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Her real name was Ava when she was my principal and she changed it when she moved.
ZET: (yelling and feeling shocked) WHAT!
ZET: (yelling and feeling shocked) ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Afraid not.
ZET: (shocked) How did you know specifically where Anna worked here in Kalos if you haven't seen her in years?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Just like Mack, she and i became very good friends and we got to know each other that entire school year.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) She also told me once, back when she was my principal, that she wanted to own her own comic book store one day.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That was how i was able to find her.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Because of a hunch.
ZET: I see.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, 1 month passed since the new school year started and me, Gran, Ling, and Shin were able to beat up those bullies a few more times and get away with it because of Ava and Mack's help.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Because i was doing so well in Mack's little league syndicate, he decided to make me head of the little league syndicate.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Since me, Gran, Ling, and Shin were all kids, Mack thought of us as little league members of his syndicate, even though most of his members were adults that lived in another region.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The reason he made me head of the little league part of his syndicate was because he knew i had killer instincts.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Being in charge of the little league syndicate ment that i would plan out every thing me, Gran, Ling, and Shin would do as a little league team.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, a month after the new school year started, my class room got 2 new interesting students in it named Sola and Vaison.
VIVI: (shocked) You mean that scary looking dude with the long silver hair and scary looking eyes?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The same and i'm sorry that he put you through so much danger.
VIVI: (shocked) I forgive you, but i have to tell you, when i was near Vaison i was scared stiff.
VIVI: (shocked) I had never been more scared of some one in my life.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Vivi, you didn't tell me about Vaison being the leader of that group that kidnapped you and almost nearly killed Max.
VIVI: I didn't exactly know or wanted to talk about it.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, that same day at recess, Sola and Vaison got attacked at a secluded part of the play ground that was a little far away from the swings.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) They weren't hurt badly, but they were angry.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Vaison was a lot more angry than Sola was and they tried to tell me, Mack, and my little league team, the next day after the attack, at recess, that he and his girl friend got attacked unfairly.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After hearing about the attack, Mack flat out asked Sola and Vaison "Would you 2 be interested in joining my syndicate and gaining the skills you need to beat up those bullies 10 times worser than what they did to you 2?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After hearing all that, Sola and Vaison said only one word.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) "Yes!"!
ZET: (yelling with fury) HE JUST KEPT ON USING LITTLE KIDS FOR HIS OWN SICK GOALS.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, after saying yes, Mack said to Sola and Vaison "Before it becomes official, i need to ask Max do you 2 sound like you deserve to be members of my syndicate and the reason for this is because Max is the leader of the little league syndicate that i have recently formed here at this school.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Mack properly introduced me and my little league team to Sola and Vaison and Mack finally asked me the yes or no question "Do these 2 seem like they're syndicate material Max?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, i said "Yes!".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) "You are now members of my syndicate and Max's little league team." is what he said after i gave my answer.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Because of Mack, i then had a total of 6 new friends that day, with 5 being in my little league team.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The next day after getting 2 new members, Mack brought several toy guns and plastic knives to recess for me and the members of my little league team to use, train with, and keep.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The other little kids in my class were getting a little jealous of me, Gran, Ling, Shin, Sola, and Vaison, since the teacher gave more attention to us than to the rest of them.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) For a whole month, Mack would train me and my little league group with the toy guns and plastic knives he gave me and my group, every day at recess.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He would teach us how to aim, point, and handle toy guns and how to hold and stab with the plastic knives he gave us.
ZET: (yelling with fury) WAS THAT PILE OF GARBAGE TRAINING YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TO BECOME FUTURE KILLERS?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He didn't say it at the time, but i kinda knew in some ways what he was doing.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He told us the training was suppose to make us quicker and stronger and it did.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I was better at handling my toy gun and Vaison was better at handling his plastic knife.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He handled it like a mini sword.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Now you all know why i'm so fast and such a good fighter for some one so young.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, during that whole month of training me and my group, me and Vaison really bonded with each other.
VIVI: (getting a little angry) Is that right?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Yeah and we had a lot in common.
VIVI: (getting a little angry) Like what?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) We loved playing with toy weapons, we loved eating junk food, we loved doing the jobs i had planned out for my group, we were also the only two 4 year olds in the class, and not only that, but we were both born on the exact date of each other.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He didn't have any siblings and he was also from a rich and powerful family that didn't even know he had ties to an international crime syndicate.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He told me his parents were gone a lot on business trips and that the house keepers took care of him and the house.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) 1 thing that did puzzle me about Vaison, was the fact that Sola didn't always look happy when she was around him.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) They treated each other nicely some times, when they were around me and my group and some times they would have tiny arguements.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, back then, me and Vaison were the best of friends and since i was the leader of the little league syndicate group, i made Vaison my second in command, meaning that if i were to take a vacation or some thing like that from planning the attacks on Rodd and the others, he would take over the team, only for a short time.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Fast forward to 3 months after the new school year started, Vaison was alone in the boy's bath room when Rodd, Zack, Colin, and Kevin ambushed and attacked him so bad, that he was bleeding a little from the mouth.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That day, for some reason, Rodd, Zack, Colin, and Kevin weren't seen on the play ground and since it was recess, me, Vaison, and the rest of my group had a little talk about what to do next.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I was angry about what those 4 bullies did to Vaison in the boy's bath room, but not as angry as he was about the whole situation.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) He was furiously mad.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Mack wasn't at the meeting that day, because he was a teacher at the school and he didn't always have the time to talk with us during recess.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when i came up with an elaborate plan to get back at Rodd, Zack, Colin, and Kevin for what they did to Vaison.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) On that day, the same day that Vaison was attacked, which was a Tuesday, i told every one the plan i had came up with.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The plan was to ask all of our parents, that Tuesday night, if we could have a sleep over at Vaison's house that up coming Thursday, since he was rich and had the bigger house.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) My, Gran's, Ling's, and Shin's parents all said yes to the sleep over request at Vaison's place, which ment that phase 1 of my plan was complete and now it was time for phase 2, which was setting up a place for the trap and getting the bullies to fall for the bate, late at night.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) I really don't like the way this sounds and where it's going.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) On that Wednesday, me, Mack, and Vaison had a meeting that involved discussing my plan.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Both Mack and Vaison agreed that it should be 4 against 4, when i thought of the place where we were going to get them.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I made up my mind that it was going to be on the play ground, at my school, since it wasn't very far from Vaison's house and i told every one just that, after the 4 on 4 agreement.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I also told them about sneaking out of Vaison's house, after mid night and some how convincing Rodd, Zack, Colin, and Kevin to sneak out of their houses, so they could fight Vaison all by him self, when in reality, my plan was to back up Vaison with my self and 2 of my other employees, so it would be a fair fight.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Both Mack and Vaison agreed that my plan was beyond genius and Mack gave me the okay to go through with my plan.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I asked Gran, Ling, and Shin, which 2 of them wanted to go and which one wanted to stay at Vaison's house and both Ling and Shin said to me that they wanted in on my plan after Gran said he didn't feel like it.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) So it was me, Ling, Shin, and Vaison planning on fighting Rodd and his boys on the play ground, late at night, when no one would be there.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) It was only a matter of getting Rodd and the others to fall for it.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) On that exact Wednesday, before recess ended, me, Ling, Shin, and Vaison went into the boy's bath room because we thought Rodd and his boys would be there, since we didn't see any of them on the play ground and we were right.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After a few seconds of entering in the boy's bath room, me and my boys had a stare down with Rodd and his boys.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when Vaison started talking to them, saying in a calm voice, "I want pay back for what you guys did to me and i have an idea on how to do that while making sure it's a fair fight for cowardly bullies like you.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, Rodd asked "Oh yeah and how so?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Vaison then said "It will be me against you 4, on the play ground, after mid night tomorrow.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, Rodd said "We're not dumb enough to fall for a trap in which all 4 of you are really going to be coming, instead of just you Vaison.".
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) So Rodd saw through your plan right from the get go?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Yes and not only was Rodd the toughest out of the 4 bullies, he was also the smartest.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, Vaison said after that "No, it's not a trap and i'm telling the truth when i say i want to fight all 4 of you on my own.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, Rodd, Zack, and Colin, said at the same time to Vaison "No way and we're not showing up.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, out of the blue, Kevin said "I'll gladly sneak out of my house, show up to the play ground after mid night, and fight you one on one Vaison.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Kevin's 3 friends warned him a few times that he was walking into a trap, but after not being concerned even if this was a trap, he made up his mind and his 3 friends then warned him that they would not have his back in this fight he was walking into.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Not only was Kevin the weakest link in his group, he was also the dumbest out of the 4.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Even though Kevin was having a disagreement with his friends, they were not arguing with each other and after a few failed attempts to convince Kevin not to show up to fight, they gave up and Kevin told Vaison that he believed him when he said that he was coming alone and that he and Vaison were a lot a like.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Kevin couldn't have been more wrong.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, all 8 of us calmly exited the boy's bath room, with Rodd and his boys going to a different part of the school and me and my boys going back to the play ground to tell Mack and the others that Kevin was the only one dumb enough to take the bait.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) They we're still impressed by my plan and that Thursday night, my, Ling's, and Shin's parents dropped us off at Vaison's mansion a little after 6:00 pm.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Gran had decided to stay at his own house, since Vaison told Kevin he would come alone and since me, Ling, and Shin were with him in the boy's bath room when we made the fighting appointment.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Any ways, a few hours of talking about random stuff and having the servants bring us snacks in Vaison's room, it was now 12:34 am, when we were still in our day clothes, and when we snuck out of Vaison's house.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) We all knew that Vaison's servants and house keepers would be off duty at that time and that's why we snuck out at exactly 12:34 am, to go beat up Kevin.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) We got to the school at about 1:00 am that night and Vaison went to the play ground by him self, with me, Ling, and Shin hiding in the bushes, a few feet away from the play ground.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) It was a full moon that night, which made it easy for us to see our surroundings.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Vaison stood in the play ground, waiting for about an hour, when Kevin finally showed up and said to him "So you were dumb enough to show up, huh?"?
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, Vaison gave him an evil laugh and said "You're the one that's dumb, Kevin.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when me, Ling, and Shin jumped out of the bushes and i ran towards him and was able to pin him to the ground, so he wouldn't run off and i said to him "Believe it or not Kevin, but this whole idea was mine and not Vaison's.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I went on to say to him that "You were actually dumb enough to believe that we wouldn't get revenge on at least one of you, for what you did to my friend Vaison.".
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when Kevin started to ask us to allow it to be a fair fight with just him vs Vaison.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Kevin was a bully and yet he was asking for a fair fight, as though he deserved one.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) That's when Vaison came up with a plan.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I have to warn all of you.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) The details i'm about to describe are extremely graphic.
POOCHYENA: (getting very curious) Poochy poochyena.
ELLIE: (feeling a little concerned) Max can tell his fellow Bad Dude Bounty Hunters any thing.
VIVI: (feeling concerned for Max) I'm sure we'll still think of you as a good friend and partner of the Bad Dude Bounty Hunters, even though you're about to tell us some thing very bad.
ZET: (talking calmly and seriously) Even though i know i'm going to hate what i hear next, i'll try to be under standing.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Alright!
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Vaison's plan was for each of us to take one 5 minute turns, beating up Kevin.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) I made up my mind that i would go first, then Ling, then Shin, and lastly Vaison, since he was the one that got attacked by those 4 bullies, all alone in the boy's bath room.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) Vaison, Ling, and Shin all agreed with my decision on who would get to fight Kevin, in which order.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, me and Kevin fought for 5 minutes and he was able to put up a decent fight, even though i won, since he was a little worser off than i was.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, it was Ling's turn for 5 minutes against Kevin and Ling was able to over power him with not too much difficulty, but Kevin did manage to get a handful of hard blows on Ling.
MAX: (talking calmly and being stoic) After that, it was Shin's turn for 5 minutes against Kevin and Shin was able to beat him easily, even though Kevin was able to get 1 or 2 good hard hits on Shin.
MAX: (starting to shake nervously) After that, it was Vaison's turn for 5 minutes against Kevin and even though Kevin was bleeding, and could barely stand up, let alone fight, Vaison was still willing to fight him.
VIVI: (getting worried about Max) Max, why are you shaking?
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Even though that night was 4 years ago, i hate talking about it and i'm still haunted by it.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) The 5 minutes Vaison spent beating Kevin up was horrorifying.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) During those 5 minutes, Vaison was fast, furious, and strong.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) During the 5 minutes, Vaison kicked, punched, and ramed Kevin into the play ground equipment hard.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Kevin didn't even get one good hit on him.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) The whole 5 minutes, me, Ling, and Shin were all impressed and frighten at the same time by how fast, strong, and vicious Vaison was for a 4 year old kid.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Vaison thrashed Kevin so bad that he was bleeding almost all over his body.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After a minute or two, after the 5 minute fight was over, some thing didn't look right to me, so i went over to where Kevin was laying, after Vaison backed a few feet away from him, and i was worried about Kevin because he was laying on the play ground for a minute or two, bleeding very badly.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) I then checked his pulse for a few seconds and he didn't even have one.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) I quickly backed away from him, because i knew the horrible truth.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Kevin was dead.
The rest of the group gasps in horror.
ZET: (shocked) Hey!
ZET: (shocked) Wait!
ZET: (shocked) Hold on.
ZET: (shocked) Are you telling me that you, Ling, Shin, and especially Vaison, killed a little kid when you were all just little kids your selves?
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Yes!
ZET: (shocked) I see.
ZET: (shocked) Tell us a little more!
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After that, i told every one that Kevin was dead and Vaison said we had to run back to his mansion quickly, before any one saw us and we did.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) We made it back before 2:30 am and Vaison spent a few minutes washing off blood from his clothes, in his bath room.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After he was done, me, him, Ling, and Shin talked about what we just had done.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) I was panicking, Shin showed signs of regret, Ling wasn't bothered by it that much, and Vaison was completely calm about the whole thing.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Shin asked Vaison "How can you be so calm after what we just did?"?
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Vaison then replied in a creepy voice "He had it coming after what he and his pals did to me.".
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After hearing him say that, i became very angry and asked him, with out getting to agressive "I know he and his friends bullied us very badly, but why did you have to kill the little boy?"?
MAX: (still shaking nervously) His exact words were "Because i wanted too and because i enjoy hurting other people.".
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After saying that, he accused me and Shin of becoming soft and that i, as the leader of the little league syndicate members, should act more like a leader.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) After the discussion, we then put on our night clothes, went to bed, and got up a few hours later to get ready for school that Friday morning, even though we knew what we did.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Me and the gang rode in Vaison's limo that day, not saying a word to each other and when we got to school that Friday morning, coppers were all over the outside of the school and one of them told all 4 of us, plus Vaison's driver, what happened.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) We pretended like we were shocked and i'm ashamed to say that i went along with it because i was afraid at the time, what Vaison might do to me if i told the coppers what all 4 of us did.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) That day, we were driven back to Vaison's mansion, when one of his servants called my, Ling's, and Shin's parents, telling them what happened at the school and that they could pick us up and they did.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) That Saturday, the whole city of Petalburg was sadden by what had happen to Kevin and it was all over the news.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) An investigation started, but they never found out it was me, Ling, Shin, and Vaison that did it.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) The Monday after the murder, the school reopened, but the play ground was off limits because it was filled with flowers by the parents and a bunch of other people.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) That same Monday, me, Ava, Gran, Ling, Mack, Shin, Sola, and Vaison had an emergency meeting.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) We all already knew what the meeting was going to be about, since they saw all the cop cars at the school that previous Friday.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Mack said some thing that shocked me, Ava, Shin, and Sola.
MAX: (still shaking nervously) Even though he seemed to feel very badly about what happened, he said to me and every one else the following words: "I know some of you feel as bad as i do, but what ever you all do, do not tell any body, especially the cops, what you know about Kevin's murder!"!
MAX: (still shaking nervously) He then went on to say "You didn't see any thing and you didn't hear any thing.".
ZET: (yelling with fury) MACK YENRAI WAS AN EVIL AND TWISTED CRIMINAL.
Max stops shaking nervously.
MAX: (stoic) Not that i'm defending what he did, but Vaison is the one that's the evil and twisted criminal.
MAX: (stoic) Trust me.
MAX: (stoic) Any ways, me, Ava, Shin, and Sola then said to Mack "Doing what were doing isn't right.".
MAX: (stoic) After a few minutes of smooth talking, Mack convinced us not to say any thing to any one and we agreed to stay quiet about the murder.
MAX: (stoic) Vaison accused me, Ava, Shin, and Sola of becoming soft and i could tell that those words hurt Sola badly.
ZET: (shocked) Why didn't Rodd, Zack, and Colin say any thing to any one?
MAX: (stoic) My guess is that they feared for their lives and didn't tell any one because they were scared of Vaison coming after them.
MAX: (stoic) On the Tuesday after the emergency meeting, 2 new bullies made them selves known to me because i wore glasses.
MAX: (stoic) Their names were Gin and Sotin and they beat me up at lunch that day.
MAX: (stoic) They had been in my kinder garden class for weeks and decided to target me for what ever random reasons.
MAX: (stoic) The next day at the meeting, Mack told me he saw what happened even though i was siting at a table far away from Vaison and the others.
MAX: (stoic) Mack asked me what i was planning on doing about it and i'm ashamed to say that i made a small scale plan to get back at Gin and Sotin, that didn't involve murder, but that did involve beating them up.
MAX: (stoic) The only reason why i stayed in the syndicate a little while longer was because i was afraid of what Mack or Vaison might do to me.
MAX: (stoic) I wasn't able to sleep at all, for a few days after what i saw Vaison do to Kevin.
MAX: (stoic) A few days after the emergency meeting, me and my whole family went to the park to help me forget about the tragedy that happened at the school and we ran into Sola and her parents that Saturday in the park.
MAX: (stoic) It was 3 months and one week after i joined the White Dragon syndicate.
MAX: (stoic) They decided to give me and Sola an hour of privacy, at the swings, so we could talk about our feelings in private.
MAX: (stoic) Sola began to tell me how she and Vaison met, how they fell in love, how he treated her when they first met, and how he was treating her now.
MAX: (stoic) She then went on to say that she was starting to fall out of love with him because of the way he was acting towards her, me, Ava, and Shin and especially the fact that he killed some one and didn't show the slightest hint of remorse.
MAX: (stoic) That day in the park, me and Sola started to get to know each other very well.
MAX: (stoic) I talked to her about how i thought what Vaison said to her at the emergency meeting was uncalled for.
MAX: (stoic) She told me that she wish Vaison was more like me and how he could learn how to be a better human being from me and she seemed kinda depressed that day, so i told her a few jokes i made up and it made her laugh.
MAX: (stoic) She told a few jokes and made me laugh too and then she said to me "We should hang out more often, just by our selves, with no one else around.".
MAX: (stoic) I asked her "What about Vaison?"?
MAX: (stoic) After that, she said to me "Max, i view you as a very good friend and i don't want Vaison to get the wrong idea if he sees us hanging out with each other.".
MAX: (stoic) She went on to say that she still loved Vaison a little bit and that i was a good friend that she could confide in and after saying that, she gave me a big hug and we walked over to where our families were sitting at in the park.
MAX: (stoic) The entire time we were on the swings, our families didn't see or hear what we had did and said.
MAX: (stoic) Me and Sola made sure of that.
Max's mood suddenly begins to change.
MAX: (starting to smile a little) As the weeks and week ends went by, my friend ship with Sola evolved just like pokemon do.
MAX: (smiling a little) We would go to each other's houses some times and even though Ava and Shin caught us together 1 time, in Sola's yard playing catch, they didn't tell any one about it.
MAX: (smiling a little) We had asked them that day, not to tell the other members of the syndicate that we were hanging out.
MAX: (smiling a little) Especially Vaison.
MAX: (smiling a little) For some reason, even though Ava and Shin were partners with Vaison, just like me and Sola were, they didn't tell any one that it was just the 2 of us hanging out.
MAX: (smiling a little) We would also meet up at the park and take turns pushing each other on the swings.
MAX: After 5 months of being a member of the White Dragon syndicate, not only had Vaison grew more and more distant from Sola, probably due to the fact that she didn't want to spend time with him at his mansion, on the week ends, as much as she once did, but he and i started to have small arguments more and more at school.
MAX: He started to argue with the other members of the syndicate more and more and he and Sola started having little arguments more and more.
MAX: (starting to smile a little again) I also happened to noticed that after 5 months of being a member of the White Dragon syndicate, that my friend ship with Sola evolved into the 2nd stage, just like pokemon evolve into their 2nd stage eventually.
VIVI: (getting curious) What do you mean?
MAX: (smiling a little) I ment that after 5 months, i didn't see her as my friend any more.
MAX: (smiling a little) I saw her as my secret special friend.
VIVI: (sounding a little disappointed) I see.
MAX: Any ways, 1 cloudy Saturday morning, i was in Sola's front yard while her parents were gone for the day and i was waiting outside for Sola to come back out with the special bat she said she had put away some where long ago.
MAX: When i was by my self outside, that's when it happened to me.
MAX: I got attacked from behind, in Sola's front yard, by Gin and Sotin.
MAX: 1 of them hit me on the head with some thing hard twice and after that, they gave me a few harsh blows to the arms, face, and stomach area, causing me to be knocked out cold.
Max starts smiling a little, yet again.
MAX: (smiling a little, yet again) I woke up an hour or 2 later in Sola's bed, with bandages on my head and she was sitting by the bed, reading a book and humming.
MAX: (smiling a little) She noticed that i had just woken up and she came closer to me and asked if i was alright.
MAX: (smiling a little) I said 2 things to her after that.
MAX: (smiling a little) The first words were "Just like that.".
MAX: (smiling a little) Then i said to her "Please hum for me!".
MAX: (smiling a little) She did and she had the voice of an angel.
MAX: (smiling a little) 6 months after joining that awful syndicate, i had realized my relationship with Sola had reached its 3rd stage of evolution, just like pokemon do.
VIVI: (getting a little worried about what his response may be) What are you saying Max?
MAX: (smiling) I'm saying that after a while of getting to know her, i fell in love with her.
MAX: (smiling) We became boy friend and girl friend.
VIVI: (sounding a little jealous) Really?
MAX: (smiling) Yes and she was very special to me.
MAX: (smiling) She was as tall as i was and she had long beautiful pink hair that was split in 2 long vangs behind her back.
MAX: (smiling) She also had big beautiful green eyes and a smile that was more beautiful than the stars at night.
VIVI: (sounding jealous) We get it already.
VIVI: (sounding jealous) You thought she was the prettiest little girl in the world.
MAX: (smiling) Yes!
MAX: (smiling) Any ways, when i was with her, i felt like the luckiest little boy in Petalburg.
MAX: (smiling) 7 months after joining the syndicate, i came to my senses.
MAX: (smiling) 1 day at school, i told Sola to meet me at a secluded spot near the school, so we could talk and we did.
MAX: (smiling) It was after school when we talked.
MAX: (smiling) That's when i told her that i was planning on leaving the syndicate soon and i wanted her to come with me.
MAX: (smiling) She was a little hesitent at first, because she told me about the possibility that they may kill me and that i knew far to well how they work.
MAX: (smiling) Eventually, i got her to say yes to my offer and told her about my plan for me to some how transfer schools and also making them think i'm dead and for her to do the same, so we would be safe from the other White Dragon syndicate members.
MAX: (smiling) We had plan on making a fresh start for our selves.
MAX: (smiling) I told her that we should put my plan into action, right before the school year ended and she agreed.
MAX: (smiling) 8 months after joining the syndicate, i told my parents that i wanted to be transfered to a different school next year, due to some of the kids in my class who were harassing me and i told them that i didn't want to get any deeper in details about it.
MAX: (smiling) They said yes and i was thrilled.
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) A day after that, in the park, Sola told me that she got her parents to transfer her to the same new school i was going too and i was so thrilled that i gave her a big long passionate 44 second kiss.
VIVI: (sounding very jealous) Did you now?
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) Yes and it was my first time too.
MAX: (smiling) It was now 9 months after i joined the syndicate and i was still a member, but i was happy since school was about to be over in 3 days and with it, a bad part of my life was about to end.
MAX: The strangest part of that day was that Ava, Gran, Ling, Mack, and Shin were not at school that day and that there was a substitute teacher that day.
MAX: (smiling a little) On the 2nd last day of school, me and Sola met at the same secluded spot after school and i handed her a note with instructions on how the last stage of my plan would work.
MAX: The strangest part of that day was that Ava, Gran, Ling, Mack, and Shin were not at school again and that there was a substitute teacher that day again.
MAX: (smiling a little) I told her to meet me at the cemetery, after the last day of school had ended and that i would have a surprise for her when she got there.
MAX: She seemed a little hesitent again, due to the fact that Vaison was a very frightening person, but i told her that i would protect her with my life, if necessary.
MAX: She reminded me again of the fact that they may try to kill me and i told her to let them think i'm dead, since i see and talk to them often.
MAX: (smiling a little) I also told her that we'll leave it all behind and get out of the syndicate life.
MAX: (smiling a little) She asked me where we would go from there and what we would do.
MAX: (smiling a little) I told her that we would live and be free from all this.
MAX: (smiling a little) I told her it would be like living a dream.
MAX: (smiling) We then locked our lips with each other, put our arms around each other, and stayed in that same position for a whole 58 seconds.
VIVI: (sounding very jealous) You sure did know how to treat her very well.
ZET: (feeling very impressed) You must've really cared for her.
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) Yes!
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) Sola was such an appropiate name for her.
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) The word "Sola" is japanese for the word "sky".
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) She was as beautiful as the clear blue sky.
MAX: (talking with a big smile on his face) She was my soul mate.
Max's mood rapidly changes.
MAX: (sounding a bit depressed) How ever, on the last day of school, it was raining and i noticed that Ava, Gran, Ling, Mack, and Shin weren't at school yet again.
MAX: (sounding a bit depressed) I also noticed that Sola and Vaison weren't at school either.
MAX: (sounding a bit depressed) I thought they didn't come in that day because they were sick or some thing.
MAX: (sounding depressed) After the last day of school had ended, it was still raining and i went to the cemetery where me and Sola agreed to meet and i had a handful of blue roses for her, that i picked out from my mother's garden.
MAX: (sounding depressed) After an hour or 2 of waiting, it was still raining and i realized that she wasn't coming, so i gave up and left the rest of the blue roses there, at the secret spot where we were to meet, except for 2.
MAX: (sounding depressed) The 1 i left in the cemetery and the 1 that i kept.
MAX: (sounding depressed) I had felt empty for a few days after that.
MAX: She was the best thing that ever happened to me because of that awful syndicate.
MAX: She made me want to be a better boy.
MAX: (sounding depressed) On my 5th birth day, which was a few days after the school year ended, i went to Sola's house by my self, only to find people working on it and they told me that Sola and her parents had moved out and that they were making repairs for a new family.
MAX: (sounding depressed) I asked them to let me in for just a minute or 2 while they were making repairs and they said yes.
MAX: (sounding depressed) I went up to where Sola's room once was and all i found was the yellow hand band she would wear on her head often, on the floor.
MAX: (sounding depressed) That's when i had completely given up.
MAX: (sounding depressed) I then laid my last blue rose i had for her, on her yellow head band, left the room, left the house, and went home to my room.
MAX: (sounding depressed) That's my past story every one.
ZET: (feeling bad for Max) That was a very sad and frightening story.
ZET: (feeling bad for Max) I'm not really condoning the things you've done, but i feel sorry for you.
ELLIE: (also feeling bad for Max) Ellie feels bad for Max too.
POOCHYENA: (also feeling bad for Max) Poo poo poochy poochyena.
VIVI: (also feeling bad for Max) We all do.
MAX: (sounding a little better) Thanks a lot every one.
MAX: (sounding a little better) I appreciate that.
ZET: (feeling bad for Max) So none of your family and friends knew about your secret life?
MAX: Nah!
VIVI: (feeling bad for Max) Not even May?
MAX: (starting to panic) Oh no.
VIVI: What's wrong?
MAX: (starting to panic) Before i came here to Kalos, May brought up some thing about my past a few times.
ZET: (getting curious and worried) What was it?
MAX: (starting to panic) She said that 1 of the reasons she didn't want me to come to Johto with her was because of some of the things i did in the past.
MAX: (calming down a little) She mostly said it was because she didn't want to depend on me.
MAX: (starting to panic) She also said to me the night before she left for Johto, that i couldn't run from my past just by going to a different region and i found that to be quite disturbing.
ZET: (getting worried) You should call her as soon as tomorrow, to find out what she knows.
MAX: (feeling a little stressed out) Yeah or may be after tomorrow.
ZET: I've seen you beat up bad dudes over the past few weeks and i was just wondering who taught you how to fight so well?
MAX: I taught my self jeet kung do and jeet kung do is a fighting style i created all by my self.
ZET: Your intelligence is amazing for an 8 year old boy.
MAX: Thank you.
ZET: You're welcome.
MAX: (feeling a little stressed out) I also forgot to mention that Anna told me a few weeks ago, back when Vaison kidnapped Vivi, that she told me that the reason why Gran, Ling, and Shin disappeared on the 3rd last day of school that year was because their parents had to move here to Kalos, due to the fact that the company that they were working for, moved here for better business.
ZET: (getting curious) What about your old friend and neighbor from Petalburg who is now living here in Kalos?
ZET: You know, Doohan?
ZET: (getting curious) Was he a member of the White Dragon syndicate or did he at least know about your secret double life?
MAX: No and no.
