Search for the Missing Pokemon As Evelyn and I made our way to Nacerene City, we encountered a couple of wanderers who were running and shouting fearfully. "Purrloin? Where are you, our dearest?" they shouted.
"Excuse me, but what is the problem?" I asked the couple as we approached them.
They stopped for a second and said, "Our Pokemon, Purrloin, has gone missing! We were out battling a Trainer near Nacerene City, and all of a sudden, a mist came over Purrloin! As it cleared out, Purrloin disappeared!"
That was a very strange story. Mist taking a Pokemon away? How could this be?
"Do not fret!" Evelyn said. "My name is Evelyn, and this is Kyle! We'll help you out!"
The man answered back, more calmly, "Thank you! My name is James, and this is my wife Leslie! I thank you greatly for helping us."

The search for the missing Pokemon began. Evelyn and I brought out our Pokemon to help us out. We ran up and down the route, searching for the missing Purrloin. By the time we stopped to take a break, night had fallen, so we camped out together in a tent the couple had brought with them. The next morning, we continued our searched. Finally, we saw a building up ahead. We ran inside and stopped.
There was hundreds of Pokemon there, all being taken care of by people. I asked one of the nearest people, "Excuse me, but can you tell me what this place is?"
The person responded, "Why, this is the Pokemon Day Care! Haven't you heard of it?" I shook my head. Then I remembered the reason we were here in the first place.
"Have you seen a Purrloin here? The couple here got separated from it, and now they're worried sick about it!"
The helper shook his head and responded, "No, but there are some reports of Pokemon being stolen. Did this Purrloin happen to be taken away during a battle?"
Leslie shouted, "Yes! Is that what happened to all the other Pokemon?"
The helper responded, "Yes. You see, there are some rumors that a certain groups of villains are taking the Pokemon during battle to liberate them from their Trainers by brainwashing!"
I gasped. What kind of evil group could do something like this? Wait a minute…
"Excuse me, sir, but does that evil group happen to have a name?" Evelyn asked, thinking along the same lines as I was.
"Yes, indeed," the helper said. "They call themselves… Team Plasma."

"Ah, our plans are a success!" yelled Becky happily, holding a sad Purrloin in her hands.
"What else could you expect?" Barry asked. "We've stolen over a dozen Pokemon already because of MY marvelous Magby's Smokescreen! Isn't that right, precious?"
"Mag, Mag," said the Pokemon, proud of its work.
"Well, excuse me!" shouted Becky. "If it wasn't for MY Oddish's Vine Whip, the Pokemon wouldn'tt have been take away, right dear?"
"Oddish!" exclaimed the happy Oddish.
As the two argued, a call came to them from their devices. Pichu, Becky's left out Pokemon, grabbed the device and handed it to grabbed it and said, "Hello?"
"WHY DON'T YOU TWO STOP BABBLING AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR ONCE AND ACTUALLY DO SOME WORK?!" a voice shouted from the device.
"Sorry, Zinzolin!" a terrified Barry yelped back. "We have a decent amount of Pokemon captured. 14, to be exact!"
"14?! IS THAT THE BEST YOU COULD DO!? I ASKED FOR NO LESS THAN 20, YOU IDJITS, AND YOU GIVE ME 14! " shouted an enraged Zinzolin.
"We'll get back to work, sir!" yelped Jessie. "There's a local Day Care nearby with lots of Pokemon we could take!"
"THEN GET TO IT!"

As Leslie and James fretted about their Purrloin, Evelyn, Monferno, Snivy, Lilipup, Munna and I got a tour of the Day Care. We saw how they took care of the Pokemon and stuff like that, but the idea of Team Plasma's treachery couldn't get out of my head. Finally, we reached to the section where eggs were being kept. The helper, who's name turned out to be Mike, showed us around.
"Here are our marvelous eggs!" said Mike."Look around and notice all the different styles and colors! Here, pick a couple up if you like!"
I picked up a sapphire colored egg, while Evelyn chose a greenish olive egg. We admired them for a second until all of a sudden, a large BOOM came from the main room where all the Pokemon were stored! Evelyn, Mike, and I ran to the room, the two eggs held tight in our arms.
When we finally reached the main room, we saw that all the Pokemon were in a net, the helpers and Leslie and James knocked out and tied up in a corner. When we finally found the culprits, we knew who it was in an instant. "TEAM PLASMA!"
"That's right, twerps!" said Becky. "We're here to take the Pokemon and set them free from their devious Trainers!"
"As if you two weren't devious already!" Evelyn shouted. "I'm pretty sure it was you two trying to steal poor Munna at the Dreamyard!"
"Oh, get over it," said Barry. "Now, to free your Pokemon, Purrloin, let's go!"
"Pichu, hit it!" Pichu and a strange Pokemon came out of their PokeBalls, and suddenly, I realized who that Pokemon was. "That's Leslie and James' Pokemon, isn't it?" I shouted. "You brainwashed it?!"
Barry laughed and said, "Oh please. It WANTED to come with me, right Purrloin?" Purrloin looked at its original Trainers, hurt and tied up in a corner, and smirked at them. It looked at Barry and nodded. "Purr, purr!"
I was too shocked to even pull out my Pokedex. How could this Pokemon betray its own Trainers to join Team Plasma? After all the work they put into finding it, it betrayed them?
"All right, Snivy, let's go!" I yelled to Snivy, cueing it to battle.
"Munna, join Snivy!" Evelyn said.
The battle between us started. Snivy started out with a Leaf Tornado, aiming it at Pichu. Suddenly, Purrloin used Growl to destroy the tornado and cause Munna and Snivy to take some damage! Then, Pichu shot out a Thunder Shock and zapped Munna and Snivy with a strong blast. The injured Pokemon got up with difficulty.
Munna used Psywave on Pichu, but Purrloin intercepted it and took the hit, but it didn't seem to even effect it! Probably because Psychic type moves don't work well against Dark types! Pichu used Thunder Shock on Snivy and Munna, and Purrloin used Assist, letting it also use Thunder Shock. Snivy and Munna took a super-strong zapping and fell to the ground. Just as Pichu was about to give them another zap, Purrloin used Scratch on it and knocked it into its Trainers.
"WHAT?!" Barry exclaimed. "Purrloin, am I the one here being betrayed?!" Purrloin smirked at Team Plasma and ran to the aide of its real Trainers. That left Munna and Snivy to deal with Pichu. Sinvy used a Vine Whip to grab it and throw it in the air, and then Munna used Psywave to blast it! Then, Snivy used Leaf Tornado to blow Pichu and Team Plasma away into the air!

As everything was reorganized at the Day Care, Purrloin was reunited to its Trainers. Apparently, its devious nature had lead it to double cross Team Plasma while pretending to betray its Trainers. Talk about sneaky!
As Leslie and James thanked us, Mike approached us with the two eggs we had held before battling Team Plasma.
"Well, because of you two, you saved everyone here at the Day Care and even Purrloin, who led us to the missing Pokemon. They're all safe with their original trainers now!"
"Well," Evelyn said, "if it wasn't for Purrloin's act, I don't think we could have ever even gotten close to saving the Pokemon! You two have a fine Pokemon, Leslie and James!"
"We sure do!" said James. "I can't thank you enough for all the help you've given us! As a token of our gratitude, I would like to treat you and your Pokemon to have some dinner and delicious dessert with us! I gotta tell you, Leslie is one heck of a chef!"
"Thank you!" I exclaimed. "I think we'll take you up on that offer. Let's…."
"Wait!" shouted Mike. "Before you go, I would like for each of you to have the eggs that you held and protected from Team Plasma to be your very own Pokemon!"
"Really?!" I yelped, excitedly.
I grabbed the beautiful sapphire egg and Evelyn reached for the majestic olive one.
"Thank you so much!" "Yeah, it's a real honor!" said Evelyn, showing her Pokemon the soon-to-be next member of her team. I did the same with my Pokemon.
"Well, treat them with care!" said Mike as we headed to have our meal with Leslie and James.
"We sure will!" I said, as we continued our exciting journey to Nacerene City.
