Author's Note: HOLY SHIT I'M ACTUALLY UPDATING.

Sorry I took so long, but a bunch of shit when down and I lost the will to write. Which is kind of why this is short. Oh well.

oh well, enjoy!

"Told you they bugged us! Sheesh, if I ever meet the guys who did this…" Maya grumbled, examining the tiny machine that had been attached to the back of her scarf. "I wonder what they're trying to get from us?"

"You finished a pokedex, and you know practically everything about pokemon. I think there might be a reason why Team Supernova's after you." Barrett snorted. "You're so dense."

"I think you're confusing me with Karen."

"She completed a pokedex?"

"No, she's just dense."

"Hey! Stop being so mean!"

"I think I'll pass." Maya yawned. "We should get out of here." She tossed the bug down and ground it into the dirt with the heel of her boot. "I doubt that the pokedex would still be at Team Galactic's base. They've probably switched continents by now. The closest region to here is Fiore, but their baddies were eliminated a long time ago.

"Baddies? Don't tell me you're getting soft." Barrett scoffed.

"Maybe I'm having some positive effects!" Karen cheered happily.

"I'll be more positive once I kick your ass." Maya grinned maliciously, sending the other girl scurrying behind Barrett. "Anyways, closest region to here is Kanto. We can go alert Professor Oak and the other professors."

"I've heard of Oak. He's supposed to be stern, like Rowan." Barrett said more to himself than to either girls, frowning slightly. "Okay, let's get going, it's gonna take a while to get to Kanto, right?"

"Do you have a map, Maya? So I can see where we're going?" Karen asked. Maya pulled out her pokegear and brought out her global map. Karen looked ill.

"Don't tell me that you're afraid of water now too." Maya growled. "Is there anything that you're not afraid of? Please tell me there's something." She looked very far from thrilled.

"I'm not afraid of tall grass, or pokemon." Karen said in her defense.

"You're useless. Hold still."

"Why?"

Maya karate chopped Karen at the crook of her neck, allowing the pink haired girl to fall to the ground beside Chansey, who squealed in fright as her master almost fell on her and made severely annoyed noises at Maya, who simply shrugged it off.

"Sorry Chanse, but it's easier if she's unconscious." She said quietly to the distressed pokemon. Chansey sighed and nodded in agreement.

"What're you, the pokemon whisperer or something?" Barrett snorted, raising an eyebrow. "It's a pokemon, not a person."

"Barrett, I don't have time to deal with you. So either shut up and follow what I've got to say, or go away and get eaten by a rabid Furret or something."

He let out an annoyed sigh. "Fiiiiiine. Oh leader, what is your first command." He said, lacking enthusiasm. Maya however, pretended to not notice.

"That's better. Barrett, carry the princess. We're gonna fly to Sandgem so that we can cross the ocean quickly. Hopefully she doesn't come to until we're on the new continent." She ordered, ignoring the gaping Barrett and shifting her bag so that she could get at her pokeballs. "C'mon Crobat, c'mon Ditto, you've got some work to do." Her two pokemon appeared in the usual whitish haze, and both yawned slightly.

"Staraptor, get out here." Barrett said, releasing his own pokemon.

"Grab her, we've gotta get her onto Crobat." Maya searched in her bag for the rope they'd used previously, and was caught off guard when something hit her rather hard in the back of the head. She fell to the ground, severely dazed. She had barely enough consciousness to look behind her and adopted a shocked expression at what she saw. It was Barrett. He had picked up a tree branch and had smacked her in the back of the head with it.

"Sorry, friend, but I have my own priorities. Besides, Giovani's paying me to keep you out of their way." Barrett sneered loudly. He crouched down, using the branch to stabilize himself. "Face it, darlin', there ain't nothing you can do to stop Team Supernova. And say goodbye to your pokemon."

And the last thing that Maya saw before she passed out, was Barrett reaching into her bag and stealing away all of her pokemon.

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE HAD A GOOD YEAR, AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I promise to write more!
