Pokemon: Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald

Chapter 20: VS Feebas
"BRENDAN!" May rejoiced at the top of her lungs.
Brendan looks down while holding Flannery. "What is that annoying girl doing here?"
"You know her?" Flannery asked.
"Yeah, she's my Professor's daughter, May, but what is she doing here?"
"She's with Team Aqua." Flannery told him.
"What?" Mightyena hopped off the geyser, landing down on the slightly warm red dirt. Brendan put Flannery down on his hyena pokemon and walked toward May as she ran towards him.
"May, leave now. You don't belong here." Brendan warned.
May stopped running, her joyful eyes dimmed down a bit. "What do you mean?"
"You should be out there, dressing up your pokemon for cute little pokemon contests." Brendan arrogantly replied.
Why do you battle? May's head slowly looked at the floor, remembering the question Angie asked her. May looked at Brendan, "Is that what you think of me?"
Brendan's eye brow rose as if he wasn't expecting that response from her.
"I thought you were him." May whispered.
"Him?"
"Go ," May closed her eyes and threw out her pokeball.
The scene changes to a distance memory of May's.
[Flashback]
In a small cave opening there was an echo of a little girl wailing.
"Chimpee, a little lower!" the girl heard a little but valiant voice command.
"Who's there?" the girl whimpered.
"_, do you see her?" Another voice called for the brave one but for some reason the name did not come through.
A young boy around 5 years of age with dark brown roots and white hair streaks, jumped into the cave opening followed by two pokemon the girl never seen before that looked like a redish-orange monkey and a yellow and black gorilla with twin black tails.
"May Sap-fire! I came to save you!" The little boy declared extending has hand to the sobbing child.
[Flashback Ends]
"But since you're not him," May reassured herself selecting a pokeball from her bag. "I can go all out."
"Go, MiMi," May closed her eyes and twirl as she tossed the pokeball.
A tan fish with brown spots and blue fins came out of the ball twirling in the air sprinkling water off its body before landing along side Marshtomp.
Brendan pulled out his pokedex, "What's that?"
[Feebas]
While FEEBAS's body is in tatters, it has a hardy and tenacious life force that enables it to live anywhere. However, this Pokemon is also slow and dimwitted, making it an easy catch.
"Wow that kinda reminds me of you….." Brendan was halted by the confidence pouring out of May as her eyes re-opening.
"Kippy use surf, whirlpool formation," May demanded without a second to spare. "Mimi, get ready!"
Marshtomp raised a tidal wave; Feebas was carried into the attack. Marshtomp then turns the direction of the wave by tilting its head to the side. The wave swept Brendan off his feet and carried him into the current of the wave that became a whirlpool.
Mightyena barked jumping into the current. May smirked and proceeded with her attack.
"Mimi water pulse!"
Feebas who was swimming along the flow began ejecting water orbs from its mouth slowly but continuously at Brendan and Mightyena.
"Brendan!" Flannery cried retrieving another pokeball.
"We don't think so!" Three Aqua grunts and their Carvanhas stood between Flannery and Brendan.
"What is Team Aqua doing here anyway?" Flannery asked.
"Oh don't worry we're about done with this Volcano." One grunt snickered.
"In about 2 seconds this Volcano will reach sub-zero temperature." Grunt number 2 informed.
"What do you mean?" Flannery started feeling the Volcano shake, the hot red dirt slowly turned brown and dull.
"What did you do?"
The three grunts laughed and ran off the rim of the Volcano sliding down the steep hills.
"May we gotta go!" another random Grunt warned.
"Fine, Kippy, Mimi lets finish this," May announced.
"Fang," Brendan gurgled before fainting.
Mightyena looked at his master and understood his last command, releasing a weak and gurgled roar causing May's pokemon to retreat into their pokeballs.
"What the?" May said snapping out of her confident persona. "Fine, we're done here anyway, have a nice life Brendan Ruby."
Brendan and Mightyena fell to the ground as a result of the whirlpool canceling. May ran off the edge of the Volcano along with the rest of the grunts.
They froze the Volcano but how? Flannery thought troubled by Team Aqua's actions.
"Lieutenant Flannery!" Flannery heard a couple Magna Grunts call nearby.
"Come on men, we failed today." Flannery admitted and reported. "Grab Brendan, we're going back home."
"YES MA'AM!"
