Shu's trained eye had been picking up some details that were creating an itch in the back of his brain.
Like for example, how tight Ayame's pants were. And how tight his own were going to be if he did not stop thinking about it soon.
Or, how Damon was not using his left arm too much. Damon was ambidextrous, comes in handy when you are particularly fond of fighting type Pokémon, but left was his dominant hand.
Or maybe like how Carlos was half asleep as he ordered his Pokémon to attack.
Or, this one will come in handy for him, how his Pikachu was ready to fry him for zoning out.
"I am awake!" Shu shouted to his mouse Pokémon, obviously earning some glances from his colleagues. Except Carlos, who followed with a declaration of his own state of consciousness.
"Well, we'll believe you this time. But once is once." Shu turned to grin at Kei. Miyuki's eyes slid back or a fraction of second before her attention returned to the battle on hand with 5-6 of Magma goons. Drew gritted his teeth as he ordered his Absol to deflect the Shadow ball headed towards May's Skitty as the brunette turned to wave at Kei.
"Man, you took a long time to get here." Daichi muttered, and then yelping for his Electrivire to dodge a Mightyena's Shadow Ball.
"Yeah, I am sorry."
It was at this point, as Kei proceeded to the front of the battle, ready to call out his Pokémon to attack, Shu's trained eye picked up another detail.
Team Magma was not…
"Retreat. Our work is finished."
…attacking.
O.o
"Hmm, that was easy." The boy hummed, smiling slightly as the locked door to his cell was knocked off its hinges with the impact of his kick. Another thought clicked in his mind a second later and he checked down to see if he had his pokeballs with him.
Well, obviously not. His captivators were idiotic enough to lock him in a rotting cell but smart enough to take away his pokeballs. Well, let's test the limit of their intelligence now.
He walked out of the knocked off door, knees bent and leaning slightly forward, ready to lunge, his feet making only the softest of noises on the broken cement. As he came to a turn in the dingy hallway, he peeked around the corner. Two guards. Hmm, not bad. But the question was, did they not hear the earth shattering sound of the door knocked off the hinges?
He slowly crept up to the seated guards. One was unnaturally still and the other twitched occasionally. He spotted his belt, holding his pokeballs placed next to the twitching guard's chair. Slowly looking around them to see their faces, he saw that while one, the unnaturally still one was sleeping soundly, the other had earphones plugged in his ears, eyes closed, an iPod in his hand and occasionally twitching with the music's tempo.
He straightened up, keeping his eyes trained on the guards. He slowly crept behind the sleeping chair, and with his eyes trained on the other guard, wiggled under the chair. He carefully tied the shoelaces of the guard and wiggled back and stood up, dusting his clothes. Now, if either of them saw him, one would be too busy putting his iPod in its place while the other would need a little time to compose himself.
With that, he picked up his belt, fastened it on his waist and began to make his way to the other side, walking between the two guards stationed at the either side of the hallway.
O.o
"Reiji!" The door to the infirmary was slammed open; a few Pokémon awake jumped and stared at the intruder, a few ready to attack. The nurse, you know, the one that bought in Treecko, jumped and spun around to see a panting young boy of 18 standing at the door, blonde hair ruffled and grey eyes widened to an impossible diameter.
"My god, Alek!" The said red-haired man exclaimed exasperatedly, "I don't understand why you were placed in the infirmary since you are apparently incapable of keeping your goddamned mouth shut!"
"But…but…" The boy spluttered, gaining an annoyed look from both Reiji and the young nurse.
"What?" Reiji hissed.
"Come with me!" Alek panted, too overwhelmed to speak or explain as he spun on his heels and dashed out of the white and blue room. Reiji and the nurse gave each other a confused glance.
"You…you stay here." Reiji said before following the boy into the heart of the headquarters.

"Nurse Joy!" Ash said, staring at the ringing phone machine.
"Yes, Ash?" The nurse peeked from the room where she and Chansey were treating the injured Pokémon, a customary smile on her face.
"The phone."
"Oh!" The nurse's eyes widened, as she ran to the phone, spluttering a 'thanks' to the raven trainer. Ash watched as the nurse picked up the receiver and as a slow expression of horror descended on her face. "What? Yes! Oh my, that's terrible! Now? Y-yes, of course. I'll send the team!"
Ash did not have a clue as to what could have reduced the usually calm and cheery nurse to a frenzied mess, barking orders.
O.o
"My, my, Mack, it seems like you were right."
"Sir."
"If you may, my dear fire, you may proceed however you want."
"Sir, we think it will be better if we retreat peacefully. I wouldn't want to commence a battle."
"Oho, you always were the one not very up for the battle!"
"It was a mutual agreement, sir."
"Was it now? Well, what do I say, do as you like. I just want the stone."
"Yes, sir."
Well? How is that for a fast update? I know, I know, the chapter was incredibly short and haphazard. Tell me which of the 5 scenes interested you the most. I did not know how to make it any longer without spoiling it…
LoveLoverGrl: Now that's a surprise! Which school? I know, right! We just finished the FAII exam and now have an exam again on Tuesday! Ugh! This was the first weekend, since the beginning of the session which we had free, and even then we have a 'I'll ask questions, come prepared' in Science! Anyway, tell me how you liked the chapter, yes?
