"I keep telling you this is a bad idea, yet you still don't listen." "Oh come on, if you hated the idea so much you wouldn't have come. You're as much interested in this as I am." "I am just stopping you from getting into more trouble." "I am always one to take risks, so trouble is nothing to me." "Don't we get a say in this?" The others interrupt. "Not when it's personal. Just stick to the job Marvin payed you for and we all go scotch free."

"Don't worry Marvin, I've thought this all out thouroughly. It's just a simple damsel in distress situation."

I walk into the library. It takes a while before I find the spot where Lucy and all of my accomplisses are, but I find them soon enough. I sit down a table or so away, letting Lucy take her time to spot me. I grab a random book so I don't look suspicious. After a while of reading about ship rotors, I hear Lucy's voice call to me. Another random person whispers a "Ssshhuuusssh" at her. Let the plan commence.

PHASE ONE: INTRODUCTION AND TRUST.

"What book are you reading?" "Just Enid Blighton. I loved her stories when I was a Torchic. What about you?" "Just a book on Shipwrecks." "Shush! I'm trying to read Star Trek!" Another person chatters to us. "Live long and shut it buddy." I call back cracking a small on Lucy's face. We sit back in our chairs and continue in our books.

PHASE TWO: PATIENCE AND PREPARATION.

While me and Lucy where delving into the words on the paper, Emily and the others were preparing for the "entertainment". The Excadrills we hired were given real-looking, but fake fire arms and told to hold the Lilligant we hired at gunpoint at the counter. The other Pokemon we hired were required to go and walk around near the area that me and Lucy were in, so they wouldn't bring suspicion, but would still keep watch. "Allright guys, now don't stuff this up. I'll be waiting in the truck to drive you'd all away when we finish." "Got it."

PHASE THREE: THE STAND-UP.

*BROOOF, BROOOF, BROOOF!* (Author's note: "BROOOF" is meant to be the sound of gunfire, it's just what I think it sound like in words.) Sounded the fire of the "guns" we gave the Excadrills as they stormed all throughout the Library. "ALLRIGHT! Everybody down on the ground now! If anybody moves, they die! And don't even think about calling the police, or the same fate shall come to them!" He's a pretty convincing robber I must say, Emily chose good.

I nod to one of the Magmars across the tables for us to start the plan. The Magmar picks up a small book and tosses it at one of the guards. "OW! You little shi..." *BLAM!* Before another word comes out of his mouth, I pick up the nearest rubbish bin and slam it over his head. I didn't swing it too hard so the actor could act like he got knocked out.

...but, he didn't faint. Fakery wasn't added. He clutched his head on the ground for a while but he got back up shortly and pointed the gun at me. Without thinking, My claws holding the bin shoot up in front of my face, as I feel a small force knock me and the metal bin back along with the sound of gunfire.

Real gunfire.

Luckily, a Vigoroth who was also in on the plan karate-chopped him in the back of the neck, sending him falling onto the ground. I look on the other side of the bin that blocked me, to see actual bullet holes digging into it. "They...they're r-real." "Oh god." "Marvin, they're coming!" "Oi! Jerry, what's all the shooting down there about?" An Excadrill's voice calls out to us. I grab the fainted Excadrill's gun and all three of us duck behind the book shelf.

I wasn't prepared to use an actual gun, but I knew that I had to. When another two Excadrill come around the corner, I jab the gun into one of their necks, and the Magmar and Vigoroth pin the other to the wall. We tie them both up putting a rag around the conscious one, telling everyone to get up and quietly exit the building.

Me and the other two Pokemon have to advance and take out all of the other robbers as quietly as possible. We take out six more before advancing to the middle of the Library where we see the last Excadrill holding a Rosedare at gunpoint. "Drop your guns or the librarian will be headless!" "Okay, okay, we're dropping the guns, we're dropping the guns, now let her go." "Fat chance prick!" He says shooting us all in the knees. "AAAUUgghh!" Our screams echo through the walls.

"You think that you can just stop us? Hah! You have no idea who you're dealing with punks. Now, LADIES AND GENTELMEN..." He says calling out to the citezens. "...WHO SHALL DIE FIRST!?"

"You shall asshole!"

*BWOOOOM!*

The Excadrill falls to the ground, dead. The last thing I see before blacking out, is a bunch of men with snipers rushing into the building.

It feels like days before I see light again, but it's so bright that it forces my eyes to blink back into darkness. My eyes adjust a bit better to see a bright lamp above my head. I turn my head to the side, I see a Magmar lying in a bed to my left, sleeping with bandages around his legs and waist. To my right is a Vigoroth with the same treatment. I must be in's some sort of hospital as I see the same bandages wrapped around my legs.

Soon later, a Chansey walks into the room I am in with a familiar face following behind her. Emily immediately runs up to me and hugs me tight. I would have hugged her back if my arm's weren't strapped to the bed. "Best not to squeeze your boyfriend too much, he needs more recovery time still." The Chansey says to her. "WHAT? No he's not my boyfriend." "Then why the sudden hug?" "Just cause he deserved it." She says with a smile on her face.

As soon as more thoughts come into my head, I realise what trouble I am in now. "Wait, what happened to your head!?" I say suddenly seeing the huge plaster wrapped around her head. "I just took a heavy blow to the head, I'm a bit better now though. Also I might remind you..." She says with a strange smirk on her face. "...That you don't have to worry about paying for this." "Huh? Why?" The mayor gravely appreciated your acts of bravery, so she gave you three a reward of 30 000 poké. I'm sure ten thou will be enough to pay for your medicines." "Holy cow, Thirty thousand you said?" The other twenty is given to the others beside you.

"Although you all did equal work, I still am proud of you the most."
