February 27th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
(May's POV)
Currently, I was walking from ballet practice to see Jenny. On my way there, I was thinking about the competition from a week ago. I still found it hard to believe that I won my first gymnastics competition after a two-year break from not doing the sport. As I walked into the gym, I saw her teach a younger class of gymnasts.
"Alright, that's enough practice for today. I'll see you next week," she said before walking over to me.
"You said you wanted to see me?" I asked.
She nodded, "I have to go to Sinnoh this week along with Ashley for a family get together. We'd rather not go, but my mother is something else," she said with a shiver. "So ballet classes along with gymnastics classes are canceled until next week."
"Are you serious?" I asked surprised. I couldn't believe she said that. The lady who took no excuses at all for missing practice just canceled for the week.
She nodded again before turning seriously, "You better not be out of shape when we get back or you're in for a painful workout," she threatened.
I swallowed nervously while nodding vigorously causing Jenny to smile, "Good, I'll see you next week."
I nodded and turned to leave the studio; I swear that women's attitude does complete 180 sometimes. I walked back to the dorm to find a red dot on the door so I walked outside and climbed in through the window instead. The gang and I developed a system once Lance started to give the gang more missions. Red meant they were talking to him and it wasn't safe to enter. If there wasn't a dot, it meant that it was all clear.
"Any reason why we can't go on the mission?" Dawn asked.
"Berlitz, the boys are capable of doing this mission themselves and you girls still have a lot of training to do," he said sternly.
"I feel insulted," Misty muttered.
"Ditto," Leaf agreed.
"When will our ride arrive?" Paul asked.
"In ten minutes, you'll come here to receive your disguises for undercover and then you'll be taken to your mission," Lance said. "Any other questions?"
The room was silent, "I'll see you boys shortly," he said before the call ended.
I then stepped out into the room, "What was all that about?" I asked.
The girls looked ticked, "Lance gave us an uncover mission for a drug ring that has been circling the Johto region for some time now. We're to infiltrate it and bring it down from within," Drew explained.
"Is it the Macargo Ring?" I asked.
Everyone looked surprised, "Yea, but how did you know that?"
"Who do you think busted 'em in Olivine City?" I asked with a smirk.
"That was you?! How'd you do that? That's they're third biggest base for operating out of!" Gary said surprised.
I shrugged, "I originally went undercover to rescue the daughter of a businessman who got stuck with the wrong crowd and couldn't leave. In the process of being drugged and then rescuing her, I managed to shut them down preventing them from spreading their ring into Hoenn. The second-in-command of the ring vowed revenge on me. I think he said he was gonna put a bullet in my brain or something like that."
"Geez, do all the people you put away make death threats at you?" Ash asked.
"Some do, some more deadly and perverted than others," I said with a shiver. "You guys better get ready since your ride will be here shortly."
They nodded and went to grab their pokemon, "It makes sense though that Lance didn't put you on the mission. The guys who operate the ring don't treat women kindly, I should know."
"I still feel insulted in a way," Misty complained.
The guys came back out into the common area just as the hover jet arrived outside of the balcony, "Be careful you guys," I said as I gave Drew a hug.
"Since when are we not," Drew teased.
I stared at him with a slight frown, "I mean it. These guys are dangerous, I should know."
Drew kissed me, "We'll be fine and should be back in a few days, stay out of trouble while we're gone," he teased.
I nodded as the girls hugged and kissed their respective boyfriends. The guys then walked onto the balcony and climbed up the rope ladder to the jet.
After the jet took off, we went back inside, "How long do you think it'll take for them to bust up the ring?" Dawn asked.
"Three to four days if they're careful," Misty said. "But who knows, these kinds of missions vary all the time."
"I'm sure they'll be fine. The guys are some of the best agents in the agency, they'll get the job done," Leaf said.
As much as I had faith in the guys, I still couldn't help but worry. I sent a quick message to Max to quietly monitor the communication lines of the Macargo Ring and to keep us posted. Be safe you guys.
(Drew's POV)
After we arrived at headquarters, we were given our disguises. We had our hair dyed since it stuck out along with colored contacts. After we changed into our outfits to blend in, Lance told us more information about the gang. The boss of the gang was Warren "Dagger" Branshaw, under him were four lieutenants named Venom, Firecracker, Frostbite, and Hurricane. Their operation spread across the whole Johto region into Kanto, but the headquarters where most drug productions were done was in Goldenrod City. If we took down Goldenrod, we shut the rest down shortly after.
"Do you understand everything?" Lance asked.
We nodded, "Good, we'll teleport you outside of Goldenrod City, good luck," Lance said as he called out a Gardevoir and had her use Teleport.
Soon we found ourselves in the forest outside of the city so we began to walk, "So the place where we go to is a dance club?" Ash asked.
"Yea, from there we talk to one of Venom's underlings who helps oversee things in the club and tell him we want to join up," Gary said.
"If all goes well, we'll be fine. Then we'll start snooping around," I said.
We then walked the rest of the way in silence and soon found the club and went inside. It was dark with colored lights and loud music all around. I then spotted Venom's underling in the corner booth with a body guard standing in front.
Gary and Ash dropped back to a corner while Paul and I made our way over and stopped in front of the guard, "We wanna talk to your boss," I said shortly.
He glared at us but didn't say anything, "It's alright, let them through," the underling said. "What can I do for you?"
"We heard you were looking for help with your 'business'," Paul said.
"You've heard right," he nodded as he took a peek at Ash and Gary in the corner, "But I don't think you have what it takes to do it."
"We've got what it takes," I insisted.
"Alright, I'll put you to the test then. In fifteen minutes, a raid will strike a small warehouse where we make some of our merchandise. Help clear it out and take down the officers," he said slyly. "If you get everything out and take down the officers, then I'll take you to meet my boss."
"We'll do it," Paul said shortly.
The underling smirked evilly, "Good, the warehouse is a couple of blocks from here," he said as he got up and motioned us to follow him.
We then walked to the warehouse in silence. After we arrived, we started getting workers to start moving equipment and supplies out to another location. The police then arrived storming the building, but we were waiting for them. The guys and I called out our pokemon and started shouting commands. I internally winced as I watched officers get hurt, but we didn't have much choice.
When we were done, Rocky looked impressed, "Nicely done, this gives you a pass to see Venom."
We nodded as we walked back to the club where Rocky reported to Venom who looked impressed, "Nicely done, what are your names?"
"The name is Hemlock, that's Nightshade," I said pointing to Paul before gesturing to Gary and Ash. "Those two are Cobra and Monk."
Venom nodded and stood up, "Have 'em stay here."
We nodded as Venom stopped in front of a secret panel down a hallway to an office.
Venom knocked and then entered, "What is it?" Dagger asked annoyed.
"We have so new recruits that show promise," Venom explained briefly before Rocky told what we did.
"Hmm…..," he said briefly. "Put these four with Rocky for now in overseeing production."
We heard Venom close a door and then walk back out, "Congratulations, you're on a trial period. You're gonna be working with Rocky for now."
He then left to go back to his booth while we followed Rocky to a huge warehouse where the drugs were being made.
I breathed a sigh of relief. We made it in, let's just hope all goes according to plan and we can bust these guys.
March 2nd (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
(May's POV)
The girls and I were currently eating lunch at our usual table. I looked around noticing the girls were a bit more quiet than usual and I didn't blame them. The guys had been gone for three days now and the waiting was nerve-racking. Max sent me constant reports about what was happening within the ring and so far, the guys were doing well as new recruits and showed promise.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore," Dawn finally complained.
"I feel ya, the salad is below its taste standards today," I agreed.
"That's not what I mean," she said annoyed. "I don't know if I can take the silence anymore."
Leaf nodded, "It is weird without the guys here, we're more quiet than usual. It's almost like we're turning into a bunch of Pauls."
"Hey losers, where are the hotties? We haven't seen them in a few days," Brandi said snootily as she and the drama queens walked up to us.
"We don't know where they are and can you stop calling them hotties. We're their girlfriends not you," Dawn retorted.
Francesca laughed, "That's a laugh, you look too small and cute to be a girlfriend especially since you got your hair cut. What are you, six? You could never handle a man like Paul," she smirked.
"I agree," Veronica laughed. "And Leaf, you're too timid for Gary, always afraid he's gonna leave you. I'm surprised he hasn't dumped up for being so clingy."
"Nice one girls," Melina cheered. "And you Misty, you're too rough for sweet Ash. You don't have a bone of kindness in your body."
Oh no, all these comments were starting to dig in and cause them to snap, "So why don't you all just let us have the guys. We know to treat men well and we'll give them something good."
Oh Mew, the girls lost it and attacked their nemesis causing onlookers to come over and start chanting, "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"
Soon the girls and the four drama queens were on the ground and covered in food. The teachers then came and broke everyone up, "All of you to the principal's office, NOW!" a teacher barked before looking at me in irritation. "That includes you."
I pointed to myself in surprise, "Me, but I didn't do anything!"
"Just go!" the teacher barked.
I grumbled as I picked up my stuff and walked to the main office with the girls and drama queens. When we got there Mr. Stone frowned, "I'll see you four first," he said sternly to the four drama queens.
The rest of us took seats waiting to be seen, "Stupid sluts," Dawn muttered.
"I know the drama queens are that, but we promised the guys that we'd stay out of trouble," I pointed out.
"I don't care, those idiots had it coming. I hope I broke her nose," Leaf huffed.
"I'm sure they're gonna have bruises all over and because of that, you're gonna get detention which means I'm gonna get detention," I complained.
The girls looked guilty, "Sorry about dragging you into this mess, but we had to teach those girls a lesson. I swear, nothing but brutality works," Misty said annoyed.
"I second that," Dawn agreed before smiling evilly. "Can we prank them again."
I looked her in surprise, "Dawn, you just beat them up and you're gonna get stuck with detention. Don't you think that's enough for today!"
She pouted, "I suppose," she grumbled.
We then heard the door open and the drama queens left the office smirking victorious, "Come in girls," Mr. Stone gestured.
We walked into his office and stood in front of his desk, "Haven't you girls learned anything this year? I swear there is a war going on that isn't backing down, what is going on?" he asked exasperated.
"The drama que..ahem I mean the other girls have been crushing on our boyfriends for the past two years and are the heads of their fan clubs. Since we've always been good friends with the guys before we started dating, we kept getting harassed by them and they still do it making it hard not to retaliate," Leaf summed up.
Mr. Stone leaned forward while rubbing his temples, "Well this has got to stop, you almost started a school wide fight, but since you are some of the best students here. Instead of suspension, you have detention for two weeks starting Monday."
"WHAT!" we screeched. "But Mr. Stone…."
"No buts," he said sternly.
"I wasn't even involved!" I exclaimed.
"Hmm…..you do have a point. Fine, instead of detention after school, you'll work in the Pokemon Center," he agreed.
I was fine with that in a way, how was I gonna do that if I had ballet after school?
"Now head to sixth period and if I hear anymore issues between you and the other girls, you all face suspension, possibly expulsion," he threatened.
We nodded in understanding and left for gym. We changed into our outfits and walked in.
"Alright listen up, today we're doing heart rate monitors so grab one and start running!" Mr. Richards barked.
I groaned, heart rate monitors were on the most tedious things to do in gym. Why of all days did we have to do it today?
The girls and I went to grab one and then started to jog around the gym. Thankfully the drama queens decided to go elsewhere to theirs, thank Arceus.
"Sorry for dragging you in on getting punishment," Dawn said sadly.
"It's okay, I haven't helped out at the Pokemon Center in a while so this punishment will get me to do so. Unfortunately, I'm gonna be busy like crazy for the next two weeks though," I sighed.
"You're a tough cookie though, you'll get through it," Misty said.
I then saw a message coming from my poketch, it was a message from Max with an update on the Macargo ring. They said that they were suspicious of the guys because they were caught snooping around.
"What did Max say?" Leaf asked.
"The guys got caught snooping and the ring is now suspicious," I said causing the girls to look concerned.
"I hope they haven't blown it yet," Misty said worriedly.
"I'm pretty sure they didn't, they'll be fine," Leaf tried to say bravely.
For the rest of gym and battle/coordinating class, we all kept thinking about the guys. Once the bell rang, we met at our usual place, "You girls wanna train with our pokemon, it's been a while since we've done so," I said.
"Sure, we need a distraction to keep our minds off the guys," Misty agreed.
"Let's practice on the beach," Dawn said excitedly as she raced off with the rest of us following her.
(Drew's POV)
I grit my teeth in annoyance. Thanks to Gary and Ash causing a small fuss, it got us caught making Rocky and Venom suspicious of us.
"Thanks for almost our cover," I hissed at the two.
"It was his fault," Gary and Ash whispered in retort as they both pointed to each other.
"Shut up you idiots. Now that they're suspicious of us, we're gonna have to be more careful and it's gonna be harder to do our job," Paul whispered harshly.
"In a few minutes, Rocky will leave the room. Then it'll be our chance to slip by unnoticed and take photos of the evidence, then we'll scat," I whispered.
The other three nodded and we continued to do work until we saw Rocky leave then leapt into action and began to snoop again.
Rocky suddenly then returned with a friend of his and looked at us angrily, crap, "What are you doing?"
"Uh….organizing the drugs," Ash said hesitantly as he started to pick up bags of powder and place them down neatly.
I mentally face palmed, we're screwed, "Ariados, use String Shot to capture these spies and Rocky, grab some thugs," Venom said angrily.
Soon we were wrapped up and fell to the floor, "Such a shame you guys were good, but we don't take to kindly to agents poking their noses in our business," Venom snapped. "Teach these creeps a lesson and lock 'em up in the basement."
Soon we were beaten up and shoved down the stairs into the basement, I fell on the last couple of steps landing on top of the others.
"Ugh," Gary groaned. "Now I know how May felt when she was kidnapped before Christmas, geez."
"We're busted and they destroyed our poketches," Ash said annoyed.
"Let's hope the girls figure out something bad had happened and they'll contact Lance," I said tiredly.
March 3rd (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
(May's POV)
I was sitting in history with Dawn and I was antsy. Max said that he lost connection of his hack and that it was gonna take a while for him to hack his way back in. So we were in dark as to whether the guys were okay or not. Normally I wouldn't be this antsy, but since I've been captured by these thugs before, I knew how bad it was if you were caught.
The bell rang allowing Dawn and I left for the cafeteria, "Any word from Max?" she asked hopefully.
I shook my head, "He's still working on it. In the meantime, we're gonna just have to sit and wait."
We grabbed our food and went to sit with Misty and Leaf, "Any word from Max?" Leaf asked eagerly.
I shook my head, "As I told Dawn, it's gonna be a while so we're gonna have to sit and wait."
"Ugh, this waiting is killing me, I hate it," Leaf grumbled as she placed her head on the table.
"One thing we can be thankful for is that the drama queens didn't show up today. At least we have peace from them," Misty sighed in relief.
I nodded in agreement as I continued to eat my spaghetti. I then received a message on my poketch from Max saying to come back to the dorm ASAP.
"We need to leave now," I said urgently as I stood up.
"Why?" Dawn asked.
"Max probably has bad news," I said flatly as we dumped our food and raced to the dorm.
I pressed a button for the computer monitor to appear in the common area and Max's face appeared, "What's the bad news?" I asked flatly.
Max sighed, "I finally got back in and it's not good. The guys were discovered yesterday and they're in pretty bad shape. Some guy named Rocky boasted that he and some of his buddies roughed the guys up and that they are to starve and thirst like wretched Houndour."
The girls and I gasped at the guys' harsh treatment, I was afraid this would happen.
"We better let Lance know so they can storm the place," Dawn said.
"No," I said flatly. "We're gonna rescue the guys and bring down this whole thing ourselves."
The girls looked at me like I was crazy, "May, that's impossible. Four girls can't do it by ourselves," Leaf argued.
"But you forget, we aren't four ordinary girls and we've got a few tricks and gadgets up our sleeves," I said with a smirk.
"But Lance said we'd be in trouble if we got involved," Dawn said fearfully.
"Ah, but I didn't make any such promise," I said slyly. "This is gonna be the biggest thing we've ever done and it's gonna take a few hours planning. We'll take down the headquarters and then take down the places in cities where they operate out of."
The girls looked at me with seriousness, "But May, how in the world are we gonna do all this?" Misty asked.
"We have Max to grab any info we need and then we'll place some calls to Officer Jennys all over the world," I explained. "For PHPA, is there anyone you can trust that's high in command?"
The girls looked at each other, "There's Clair, Lances' cousin, she's second-in-command under him, she can help us," Leaf said.
"Good, you catch all that Max?" I asked.
"You bet, I've already started downloading a list of all places where they operate out of along with blueprints of the bigger places."
"Good, we'll plan each part step by step. First we'll go to the headquarters and then take them down while rescuing the guys. We'll send them to the hospital and then we'll spread out individually to the different places and take them down with the help of PHPA and the police force."
"Can we do all this?" Dawn asked.
I nodded and smirked, "By the time we're done, the Macargo Gang won't know what hit them."
For the next five hours, we teleported to Max's command central and started planning with everyone who agreed to help with the plan. When we went over the list of places where the gang operated out of, we discovered that Sinnoh was untouched along with Hoenn so that made things easier to just concentrate on Johto and Kanto.
"Alright, after we split up, Misty and Dawn, you'll take care of Kanto region. Dawn, you'll head the groups in Fuchsia City, Cinnabar Island, Viridian City, and Vermillion City. Misty, you'll head the groups in Saffron City, Cerulean City, Celadon City, and Pewter City. Leaf and I will handle the Johto region. Leaf, you'll head the groups in Cherrygrove City, Azaela Town, and Cianwood City. I'll handle Blackthorn City, Mahogany Town, Ecruteak City, and Violet City," I explained.
The girls nodded in understanding and we started making plans with the different groups in the different cities. After we were done talking, Max set us up with multiple gadgets and Dawn gave us outfits that consisted of a cropped black shirt with ¾ quarter inch sleeves and tan cargo pants. Once we changed, dyed our hair black, and put on our earbud communicators, we grabbed everything and were teleported by Gardevoir to the outside of the warehouse in the shadows.
"Alright, you have a short period to make it onto the roof starting…now!" Max called.
The girls and I shot our grappling guns toward the top and quickly slid up to the top where were found a helipad and the entrance to the roof. We found the door locked with a passcode lock, no surprise there. I grabbed a comb out of one of my pockets and put it in between the crack of the door. It unfolded and I pressed a few buttons activating it so it could unlock the door.
I put the comb away and we slipped onto the dark staircase and shut the door, "Okay, I'm only gonna be able to turn off the security cameras for a short period to avoid suspicion," Max warned.
"Got it," I whispered.
I looked into the hallway and saw some thugs walking around, "Alright, time flush out the rats," I said with a smirk.
The girls and I put on gas masks and started to throw a few smoke bombs filled with sleep powder into rooms to knock people out. We ran down the hall to the next floor and did the same. When we reached the second floor, thugs noticed us and called out there pokemon to attack.
I sighed, "Guess we're gonna have to do things the hard way."
I called out Blaziken who used Flamethrower to knock out the pokemon fairly quickly. I returned him as the girls and I continued to throw smoke-sleep powder bombs into rooms.
The first floor was gonna be the hardest because there were so many people so it was gonna get dicey. We burst into the hall and started attacking thugs while throwing bombs around the hall and different rooms.
About two-thirds of the thugs fell asleep before a pokemon used Gust to clear it. I called out Lucario and Blaziken before we ran forward and started attacking people. By this time, we were getting a little tired from the constant running. After I knocked the last thug out with a punch to the face, I noticed that the guys in charge weren't here.
"Did you halt the communications line from preventing any word of this from coming out?" I asked Max.
"Yea, but I don't know how long I can keep it up so you're gonna have to move fast," he warned.
Soon PHPA agents and law enforcement stormed into the building and started to arrest the sleeping thugs.
"We'll take care of the basement, cover this floor and the three above," I told Officer Jenny as I returned Blaziken and Lucario.
"Will do May, good luck," she called as the girls and I ran out for the stairs that led to the basement.
Once we reached the door, I silently used my laser lipstick to cut the lock silently to open the door. We crept down the stairs and found the boys tied up looking really beat up and pale with Dagger along with his four second-in-command ready to give punishment.
"I'll ask you once again, who do you work for?!" Dagger yelled at Paul.
He didn't say anything causing him to receive a kick in the ribs by Frostbite, "He's not gonna tell you anything," Dawn said angrily as we stepped into the light causing the guys to look shocked and relieved while Venom smirked along with Dagger.
"Hmm….…mind telling me who you are?" Frostbite asked slyly.
Dawn stepped forward so that she was four feet away from Dagger and smirked, "The only thing you need to know is that my name is Troublesome."
She then kicked him in between the legs causing him to fall on his knees in pain and then punched him in the face.
The guys look in surprise at Dawn's behavior especially Paul. Misty and Leaf then attacked Hurricane and Firecracker leaving me to deal with Venom.
"Ah, May Maple we meet once again, I still need to put a bullet in your…..," he started to say but was cut short because I pulled out a taser and tased him causing him to shake and pass out.
"Yea creep, good luck with hat," I said as I kicked his side.
"You girls are gonna pay for that," Dagger threaten as he grabbed Dawn from behind and put a gun to her head.
We froze, but were shocked because Dawn started to laugh creepily, "Like you're gonna kill me bastard," she said as she leaned her head forward before throwing it back hard at his nose causing him to lose his grip and stumble back. She then turned around and did a roundhouse kick to his side, and finally punched him in the face hard knocking him out.
She then gripped her hand in pain, "Great, I think I busted my hand," she whined.
"I think you went a little overboard there," I commented as we all sweat-dropped.
She shook her head, "The bastard had it coming. Come on, we have to free the guys."
We rushed over to them and cut 'em out of the String Shot. Drew tried to talk, but I shushed him, "Don't talk, just drink this," I said as I handed him a small bottle with water tainted with Oran Berry while the girls did the same.
The guys regained enough strength to walk some and stood up, "Thanks girls, at least this nightmare is over," Drew strained to say.
I kept my mouth shut along with the girls. We promised that we wouldn't tell the guys that we were still taking down sites the gang operated from in other cities. Slowly, we helped the guys outside to where an ambulance was waiting, "We'll be back shortly," I said gently before we kissed our respective boyfriend's cheeks and walked away to Clair who was waiting for us.
"Good work girls, now to finish up this mess. Here are some Gardevoirs to help you out," she said as she handed Leaf, Misty, and Dawn a pokeball, "I'll keep in touch with you from here, good luck."
We then teleported to our different locations and started to get to work.
(Dawn's POV)
Ugh, my hand is killing me. I spoke to the law enforcement as I arrived in Fuchsia City and now I was currently on top of the warehouse making my way inside. Like in Goldenrod City, I put on my gas mask and started to throw smoke-sleep powder bombs in the hallways and rooms. When I reached the ground floor, I was suddenly hit with a bullet. Thankfully it only gazed my arm avoiding major injury.
I used my uninjured arm to call out Piplup, Buneary, and Quilava. We started to attack the grunts and one by one they fell.
I pressed a button on my poketch to contact the Officer Jenny, "The building is secure, you can come in and make the arrests."
"Thanks for the help Dawn, good luck with the rest," she called before she ended the call.
I returned my pokemon and called out Gardevoir to teleport me to the next city.
I hope the girls are doing okay.
(Misty's POV)
I was currently fighting my way through the warehouse in Cerulean City. Thankfully, the warehouse in Saffron City was small and didn't take that much time to shut it down. The one here was a different story, it was huge with five floors. It made me mad just to think that this huge place was selling drugs in my city, these creeps are gonna pay.
I punched a guy in the face before going to the third floor and start the whole process all over again. Suddenly, I felt a huge force of energy and heat causing me to crash into a wall. By the time I snapped out of it, the hall was on fire and I had a few burns covering me.
Where did that explosion come from?
I ran to the stairs and went down to the next floor to see people running trying to escape.
I quickly took off my gas mask as I pressed a button on my poketch to contact Officer Jenny, "An explosion happened somewhere on the third floor and the fire has spread to the second and possibly fourth. Call the fire department along with the gym leaders," I shouted.
"Will do Misty," Officer Jenny said quickly before she started barking orders and ended the call.
I put the gas mask back on and started to help locate survivors. Even if these guys are creeps, they don't deserve to die this way.
(Leaf's POV)
So far everyone was going according to plan and I shut down the warehouses in Cherrygrove City and Azelea Town. The one in Cherrygrove was small and the one in Azelea Town was fairly big. I was currently fighting grunts in Cianwood City which to be honest, the warehouse was super tiny. I just knocked out the last grunt and called to notify Officer Jenny that it was safe to come in and arrest the thugs.
As I ended the call, I saw one coming in from Misty, "Leaf, are you done with your cities and are you okay?" she asked tiredly.
"Yes and I'm fine, what's wrong?" I asked concerned.
"An explosion happened starting a huge fire in the warehouse in Cerulean City. I'm almost done helping people get out, but I don't think I can handle two more cities. Can you cover Pewter City, I'll handle Celadon City," she said.
"You got it," I said quickly and ended the call.
I called out Gardevoir and had her teleport me to Officer Jenny in Celadon City, "What you are doing here and where's Misty?" she asked.
"Misty is helping people escape a fire in Cerulean City and she doesn't have enough energy to take down two more cities so I'm stepping in place of her," I said quickly before climbing to the top of the building and entered through the roof entrance.
I started to throw bombs into the rooms and hallways by the time I reached the ground floor and everyone was asleep. Suddenly the building began to shake and a huge hole appeared in the ceiling with stuff started to fall through. I tried to run out of the way, but it was no use. I was pelted with shards of glass from broken breakers and equipment from higher floors. I tried to run, but tripped and something fell on my leg. I tried to move, but was stuck.
(May's POV)
I just finished taking down the warehouse in Violet City and Officer Jenny was starting to arrest the sleeping thugs.
Surprising through the whole ordeal, I hardly suffered a scratch. I stepped away and talked to Max, I was worried about the girls because I hadn't heard from them in a while.
"Max, what is the status for everything?" I asked.
"All warehouses have been shut down and a few deaths came about from the fire in Cerulean City and the building starting to collapse in Celadon City," he said.
"What's the status of everyone?" I asked anxiously.
Max sighed, "The guys are in critical condition. As for the girls, they have also been in the ICU along with the guys. Dawn suffered a broken hand, along with a bullet grazing the same arm and a bullet hit her thigh causing serious muscle damage. Misty suffered a ton of dangerous burns, some smoke inhalation, and exhaustion. Leaf suffered tons of cuts when a lot of broken glass shards fell on her, she also broke her leg and lost a lot of blood so she will be needing a lot of stitches," Max said quietly.
I stood there stunned, "Are they all at the same hospital?" I strained to ask.
"Yea, they were teleported to the hospital in Lilycove City. Right now they're undoing going surgery, scans, or both," he reported.
I sighed, "Alright, I'll finish up things here before I go check on everyone."
"Okay May, do you want me to alert everyone's families?" he asked.
"No, it'll cause a lot of panic. I'll tell everyone once the gang is in recovery."
"Okay May, good luck," he said before he signed off.
I teleported to Goldenrod City where Clair was, "Good work May, you and the girls did well. PHPA and the law enforcement will take care of everything, go check up on my agents," she said gently.
"Do you think Lance is gonna kill me?" I asked hesitantly.
Clair shook her head, "Don't worry, I'll make sure everyone isn't punished by him. We've been trying to shut down this drug ring for years so he won't stay mad for too long considering what happened."
I nodded before I had Gardevoir teleport me to the hospital in Lilycove City, "Thanks so much for all the teleporting, take a good long rest," I said as I returned her to her pokeball.
I walked up to the counter to find a nurse typing on her computer, "Hi, are the seven PHPA agents that were transferred here still in surgery?"
She did some typing on her computer, "Yes, they'll be in surgery for at least a few more hours. Misty Waterflower is in recovery right now, would you like me to take you to her?"
I nodded and I followed her to a private wing of the hospital that looked really nice, "Thanks," I told the nurse before I walked into the room.
"How are you feeling?" I asked Misty as I sat next to her bed.
"Everything hurts," she said quietly before coughing a little.
I handed her a cup of water, "Thanks," she said weakly.
I nodded, "Try not to talk, it'll hurt your throat if you do," I said gently.
From the look in her eyes, I could tell that she was worried about the others causing me to sigh, "Everyone is in surgery for one reason or another so it's hard to say how everyone is," I said quietly as I noticed her trying to keep her eyes open. "Get some rest, I'll wake you up when everyone else gets here."
She finally nodded off and starting breathing lightly. Suddenly the idea of trying to use my healing abilities struck me. If it could work on pokemon, why not people?
I stood over her and raised my hands a few inches above her and focused my aura. I then felt power come to me and I moved my hands slowly over her body healing her some. I then collapsed in the chair from lack of energy and fell asleep.
I woke up an hour later hearing the sound of rolling wheels, I lifted my head up to see that they were rolling Leaf's bed in a few feet from Misty's. Leaf was sleeping with an IV in, her leg in a cast, a bandage on her head, and multiple stitches. Just like with Misty, I stood over her and healed her partially. My healing was doing its work internally not so much as externally. By the time I finished, I felt wiped out. I decided to go back to sleep in the chair next to Misty since the others would be brought in much later during the night.
March 4th (Lilycove City, Hoenn)
I slowly started to wake up to feel someone nudging me. I turned to see that it was Misty who was shaking me.
"Morning sleepy head," she said tiredly.
I yawned and looked around the room to see both Misty and Leaf awake with the others still sleeping, "How are you feeling?" I asked both girls with a yawn.
"We feel a little better, but still beat up some. Dawn and the guys must have it terrible. I woke up when some nurses were saying there were complications with Dawn's surgery. She took quite a hit from that bullet," Leaf said weakly.
I nodded, "I still find it unfair that you guys took it hits and I came out unharmed," I said sadly.
"It's just how things happened May, you can't do anything about it," Misty pointed out.
I nodded, "But let's see if I can help."
I then did another healing session on both Misty and Leaf before collapsing in the chair next to Misty's bed.
"Don't kill yourself in the process of healing us, we don't need you down for the count," Leaf scolded.
"Sorry, but I want to help in some way, at least it'll help you heal faster," I argued.
"Stop arguing, you're so loud," Dawn complained sleepily.
"How are you feeling?" I asked eagerly.
"I'm sore and tired," she said flatly. "But the guys have it worse. Dehydration, a bunch of broken bones, and internal bleeding, they're lucky that their broken ribs didn't puncture any internal organs."
I nodded in agreement, "They're gonna here for a while at least a week. You guys will probably be here a few days to almost a week."
"What are we going to do what detention?" Leaf asked.
"I'm sure everything will straighten itself out. Right now it's Saturday and it's two days til school so just relax for now," I said calmly.
"What are you girls talking about?" Drew asked weakly causing the girls and I to find the guys starting to wake up.
I walked over and sat next to him, "How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Tired and sore like crap," he complained.
"Same goes for me, those stupid jerks. Nice work on taking them down, now care to fill us in why you're injured?" Gary asked.
I sighed and explained what transpired.
"But you're unharmed?" Drew asked after I finished.
"Yes," I spat. "I'm the one who is unharmed by this crap."
"May stop beating yourself up for pete's sake. What happened happened, you can't do anything about it," he said gently.
I smiled softly as I gently took hold of his hand, "I guess you're right. I suppose it's a good thing I'm fine, who else is gonna keep your lives from getting miserable in here for the next few days," I teased.
