A/N: Hooray for not planning a story before posting it. Also, sorry for the short chapter! Next one will hopefully be longer. And we'll probably end up meeting a new character really soon.
Maya awoke to the quiet sounds of bird pokemon making chirping songs. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up. Maya glanced down at Empoleon who was still snoozing beside her bed. She smiled and slipped out of bed without disturbing Empoleon. She walked over to the window and opened it. Maya gazed out, and inhaled the city smells.
Maya headed over to her desk, where she'd abandoned her bag only hours prior. She pulled out all the poke balls within the bag and placed them on her desk carefully, ensuring that no one would roll away. Maya continued to riffle through her bag a little more, pulling things out and placing them on her desk. All of her cases and different medicines piled up, and soon enough, Maya's bag was empty.
"I wonder if I'll need this stuff for a while." She said aloud. She shrugged and put a brush to her matted yellow locks, attempting to make herself look presentable for once. Maya slumped, knowing that she was fighting an uphill battle. After several minutes, she gave up and settled for putting on clean clothes.
She glanced over to Empoleon, who was still asleep. Maya crept over to him and shook him quite gently.
"Wake up, Empoleon. Time for breakfast." She said. Empoleon cracked open an eye and hopped up, towering over Maya. She smiled. "Come on, dad's probably waiting for us. He's such an earlier riser." She led the way down to the kitchen.
"Morning." Maya's father said, standing over a griddle with pancakes on it. "Three to start?" Maya nodded, handing a couple of poffins over to Empoleon, who happily started nibbling away. When she faced forward once more, there was a pile of pancakes on a plate sitting on the table.
"So, are you going to tell me about your adventure?" Maya father asked. Maya looked up.
"There isn't much to tell, dad. I went out, I traveled to the different regions, and saw every kind of pokemon imaginable." Maya said, slicing up her pancakes and taking a bite. "I met a couple hundred trainers, got a few gym badges. Nothing too special, just business."
"Meet any boys?" Her dad asked. Maya nearly choked on her piece of pancake and flushed a vibrate red.
"Dad! I was just after pokemon! Nothing else!" She said. Her dad shrugged and went back to tending to the pancakes. Maya finished up her pancakes and went back up to her room to feed the rest of her pokemon.
"Come on out, guys, feeding time." She said, releasing her other pokemon from their poke balls. Maya managed to settle them down quickly, and hand out poffins to each one. While the pokemon were munching away, she heard her Pokegear ring. She squeezed her way past Luxray and Leafeon to her desk and snatched up the Pokegear before answering it.
"Hello? Who is it?" Maya asked, patting Leafeon on the top of her head.
"It's Professor Rowan. I need you to come to the lab, quick!" Rowan said, the urgency evident in his voice.
"Why? What's wrong?" Maya asked, becoming concerned.
"I'll explain once you're here! Just hurry here!" Rowan hung up immediately after his comment. She looked at her pokemon, who were still munching away.
"Okay guys, eat up quick. We've got to hurry over to the Professor's." Within seconds the poffins were gone, and Maya was returning everyone to their poke balls. She dropped them quickly, albeit carefully, into her bag and rushed back down. Empoleon, who had not gone up with her, stood upon her entrance.
"Dad, I've gotta go. Something's come up." Maya explained. "C'mon Empoleon." She opened the door, allowing Empoleon to leave first. "I'll be back later." She closed the door and started off at a fast paced jog back towards Sandgem Town. Empoleon kept up with her pace easily, and kept giving her questioning looks, wondering what was up.
"I don't know. We'll find out when we get there." Maya answered, picking up on Empoleon's uncertainty. Maya and Empoleon hopped down a few ledges, and ran through a small patch of grass. An unfortunate Bidoof attempted to attack the pair, but was easily bested by Empoleon's Hydro Pump.
Maya hung a right and entered Sandgem Town. She ran past the Pokemon Center, into the lab. She raced to Rowan's desk, stopping short when she saw Professor Rowan slumped over in his chair, with a depressed expression. Maya thought that he looked much older than he was.
"Professor, what happened? Why'd you call?" Maya asked, looking quite worried. Rowan slowly turned his gaze to her. "Professor. What happened." She repeated in a much sterner voice.
"The pokedex… It's been stolen." He said quietly and articulately. "They took it…" Maya looked slightly confused.
"Who took it? Or do you not know?" Maya asked, trying to press the professor for a shred of evidence.
There was an incredibly long pause. "They called themselves Team Supernova." Rowan finally answered. "But most troubling is that the grunts that came to take the pokedex were from Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma and Galactic." Maya's expression went from one of slight confusion to one of total confusion.
"But… I thought that they all disbanded!" She exclaimed, not believing her ears.
"I thought so too. Apparently, we were wrong."
A/N: Oh my gosh! So much drama! And I love how easily Maya gets flustered and embarassed. It's pretty hilarious.
