Chapter 3: The Second Strike

One week had passed since the close call with a very angry Aggron resulted in Dawn being attacked by Desiree of the Neo Vexus. Not much had happened concerning Ash and his group, now with Dawn's orange-haired rival Zoey among them. However, Dawn felt as though someone else would soon fall victim to whatever Desiree attacked her with. A surprising phone call from the Hoenn region would end up confirming the blunette's assumption.

The group had just gotten done with some training for the next major events on their schedules and had returned to the Pokemon Center for some rest. At the front desk of the Pokemon Center, though, was when Ash was informed of a call for him from the Hoenn region. The person on the other end, once his face appeared, caused Ash and Brock to have their jaws drop.

"Archie?!"

"Yeah, i just wanted to let you know that i heard of the attack last week on Dawn, otherwise i wouldn't be calling with this bit of information."

"Sounds like one of your grunts got attacked by Desiree."

"You're only part right on that one. The attacker was Desiree, but the victim wasn't a grunt. It was Isabel. If it wasn't for that female Magma grunt who was first to the scene something even worse would've happened to her. But one question, though. How is it you know Desiree?"

"Heard of her from a blonde girl who has previous experience dealing with her. Three years ago she was in Rockport, under the Roxxi Townsend disguise, along with two other girls who were also 'undercover' to deal with Desiree and two other girls who, together, called themselves the Neo Vexus. Nobody knows why Desiree's back in the CLK system after the events in Rockport."

"Maybe she's trying to lure one of the trio that took her team down in Rockport into a new trap she's working on. I just hope that female Magma doesn't end up being attacked herself."

Meanwhile, two figures were separately tapping into the conversation. One was the brunette Desiree, while the other was the blonde Rochelle.

'Oh, that Magma is gonna pay for interfering with my plan on Isabel. Hopefully i can get that trap of mine to work even better knowing that blonde pest won't be able to stop one attack and protect the Magma grunt at the same time.' Desiree thought to herself. Little did she know that the blonde had a few new tricks up her sleeve.

'Archie may be onto something here. Just in case Desiree does decide to attack the Magma girl i'll be ready for her 'lure me away' plan. Good thing i trained my speed level under Brazelica, and mastered the ability to duplicate my form. Desiree won't know what hit her.'

And there we have chapter 3. Next chapter concerns the currently-unnamed female Magma grunt that saved Isabel of Team Aqua from a worse fate than just the attack by Desiree. That female Magma's identity will be revealed next chapter. Until then this is KhaosOmega. Bye.
