Chapter Three: Team Fracket's Racket

The Wario Bros. were looking around the lab. ''You think we should to try to steal some Maximon, Waluigi?'' whispered Wario.

''No!'' Waluigi yelled. The people inside looked at the two.

Wario punched him in the arm. ''Seriously?''

The professor walked over. ''Is there anything I can do for you?''

''Oh! Uhh, hi professor! How you doin' today?'' asked Wario.

''Good. My name is Professor Fielding. You here for a Maximon?''

''Ye~s…'' he replied. ''What kinds of Maximon do you have?''

Fielding walked over to a table with three balls on it, and gestured for the Wario Bros. to come on over. ''These are Maxi Balls. There's a Maximon inside each one. Which one shall you get?''

Wario and Waluigi stared at the balls for a long, long time. Then another potential trainer walked over, talked to Professor Fielding, and was this close to grabbing the middle Maxi Ball. Then Wario took it.

''Well, I guess Wario gets the middle one then. You can pick another though.'' the professor said.

''Aw, man! I really wanted that!'' The trainer growled at Wario, then chose the last ball. ''I'll take this instead.''

Professor Fielding gave the trainer a Maxidex, sent him on his way, then turned his attention to the Wario Bros. ''Alright, Waluigi. There's one Maxi Ball left. So-''

Waluigi snatched the Maxi Ball away from the table. ''MINE!'' he yelled.

''Okay…'' Fielding gave the two trainers a Maxidex. ''This is a Maxidex. It contains data for all the Maximon available. You can also use it to scan any Maximon you see.''

''Gee, thanks.'' Wario said, clearly unimpressed with the Maxidex's bulky, red, un-compact design.

''You're welcome. Come back soon.'' Wario and Waluigi started leaving. Then Fielding saw someone suspicious. ''Wait! Don't leave yet!'' he commanded.

''What?'' ''Wha?'' The Wario brothers were confused.

The Team Fracket grunts hiding in the building darted vover to Fielding. ''Give us your Maximon!''

''Why should I?'' asked the professor.

Mick Darsley, the leader of the Frackets, entered the building. ''OH, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Give us all your Maximon or else I'll kill everyone in this room!''

All throughout, Wario and Waluigi just stood there watching. Then, Wario slapped the daylights out of Waluigi. ''COME ON, DO SOMETHING YOU WUSS!''

Waluigi walked over awkwardly and threw his Maxi Ball at the Fracket men. Rocker, a rock Maximon, came out. He looked similar to Geodude, the rock Pokemon, but with legs and a small magical electric guitar on its crotch. ''Rocker!'' said the creature.

''Oh, so that's what I got.'' thought Waluigi. He then said, ''Rocker, use your Tackle attack!''

Rocker beat up some grunts. Mick threw a Maxi Ball and out popped a Cheep Cheep. It wasn't the best 'mon in the world, but it he wanted to test it out. He commanded the fish to use Water Gun on Rocker, and Waluigi's Maximon got weaker.

''Damn it!'' pouted Waluigi. ''Rocker, use Tackle again, and this time, go crazy on them!'' Rocker jumped and ground-pounded the floor, shaking the entire lab. Some Frackets fell. Then, Rocker tackled some more.

''You want me to help out, brother?'' asked Wario.

''Well, alright. Throw the ball.''

Wario tossed out his Maxi Ball, and a Pikachu ripoff popped out, Zappy the electric Maximon. ''Awesome! Now how do you make this thing work?'' asked Wario.

''Tell it to attack.'' said Waluigi, who had actually read the Maximon book he bought.

''Ok. Yellow thing, attack the guys with the 'F' on their shirts! Quickly, quickly!''

Zappy got ready his Thundershock attack... and since it couldn't read, it fried everyone, making Rocker faint.

''Ohh...'' Waluigi moaned as he got up slowly. He picked up his Maxi Ball, and returned Rocker to it. ''I gotta fix up my Rocker somehow...''

''How do you know... the names of the Maximon and the attacks?'' said Wario woozily.

''I read the book...'' Waluigi fell down again.

Mick laughed. ''Some of us are still up, you know! Alright, minions! Get up and leave the premises!''

No one moved. Then, Mick sighed and stole out of the lab. And he actually stole some things too.

Then, he saw the Wario Bros.' car.

''Ooh! A car!'' Mick jumped in with his stuff. ''Time to go back to HQ.'' He started the car and drove off.

Wario and Waluigi left the building after putting their Maxidexes in their backpacks. While Waluigi was able to summon Rocker back to his Maxi Ball, Wario couldn't send Zappy to his.

''Come on, you stupid thing! Get in the Maxi Ball!'' Wario told Zappy.

''Zap!'' said Zappy stubbornly.

''You will get in the Maxi Ball while you're under my orders!'' Zappy shocked Wario.

''Maybe you should forego the Maxi Ball and carry it with you.'' suggested Waluigi.

Wario was confused. ''How?''

''Well... You can carry it on your shoulder?'' Waluigi answered.

''I don't know how I'm gonna carry this, but I'll figure it out later.'' The Wario Bros. left the area and started looking for a hospital to take Rocker to.

''So, what happened to the car?'' asked Waluigi.

''Never mind the car. It was crappy anyway.'' said Wario.

Near Team Fracket HQ, black smoke was coming out of Mick's stolen car.

''Oh, s**t. Now, I'll hafta walk the rest of the way. Damn.''
