The Future's Young Fingerprint
Aboard the W.S.C Dome, 1 day and 3 hours left to Sinnoh. July 26th, 2033. 5:32pm.
May looked at Leaf, hurt evident in her eyes. Leaf's eyes started to water. She never meant for that to happen! "Oh my gosh! May! I'm soooooo sorry! I wasn't thinking! I…" she trailed off and burst into sobs. May sighed. Leaf was too nice. She couldn't stay mad at her for long. "It's fine." Leaf looked up. "Really?" May nodded.
Leaf jumped up to hug the brunette, only to be hit by the car's hood. "Ow…" she complained as May laughed. Leaf frowned playfully. "How could you?!" she gasped dramatically, before she and May burst into giggles.
The noises woke up Drew and Paul. "What the fuck?" Paul groaned loudly. That woke up Dawn. "Don't swear…" she mumbled sleepily. Paul rolled his eyes while Drew,May and Leaf snickered amusedly. Suddenly, Ash shot up straight, startling everyone awake. "FOOD!" he yelled, before going back to sleep. "What the hell?!" Misty exclaimed, pushing Ash off of her.
Gary woke up. "What is wrong with you people?" he asked groggily. Leaf rolled her eyes. "Take a guess." Gary looked around for aa moment before turning back to Leaf.
"You and May look the most awake so I'm guessing you woke up first and were giggling or something cause Paul's glaring at you," Leaf turned back to Paul in disbelief while he shrugged."And I'm guessing you woke up both Drew and Paul because Drew's looking in May's bag for granolas right now. Plus he also looks quite awake. Then I'm guessing Paul said something and woke up Dawn, 'cause she still looks half asleep. Then I heard Ash shout 'food' and the what the hell from Misty was because he slept back on her, I'm guessing?" he finished, as Leaf and the others stared at him in awe. Then Drew and Misty started applauding him.
"What? I gotta give credit, where credit is due," Drew reminded them as Misty nodded at the sentiment. Gary bowed dramatically. "Thank you, thank you,"
Suddenly, the moment was interrupted by a sharp squeal belonging to the speakers outside. The group covered their ears.
"Hello everyone, This is an announcement that we will reach Sinnoh by the same time tomorrow. I repeat, we will reach Sinnoh by the same time tomorrow. Thank you." the announcement ended.
"Right, I forgot we're still going to Sinnoh." Gary grumbled. Leaf turned to Dawn and Paul. "You think anyone there would be willing to help us?" she asked. Dawn thought about it for a moment. Then, she punched her palm with her fist. "Zoey!" the group except May, Ash, and Paul looked over in confusion. "Who?"
"Zoey Williams! She's one of my best friends! She'd believe us!" Dawn said, as Drew's eyes widened. "You mean the former Sinnoh top coordinator?" He asked, bewildered. Dawn grinned. "That's right!" Leaf turned to Dawn.
"Are you sure she still lives there? She could have moved you know." she reminded Dawn. "Nope." Dawn shook her head. "She still lives there. I know it. She wants to run her family's hot springs." she responded knowingly. Leaf shrugged. "Okay."
"You guys! There's a message from Max and Bonnie!" May exclaimed as the teens all gathered up near her. "
'We're going to Sinnoh, as we all know, but Dawn's friend Zoey might be able to help us. She lives in Snowpoint City with her husband, another one of Dawn's friends, Kenny. We'll see you guys after we dock tomorrow. Be sure to hide at exactly 6:13pm, ten minutes before we do have to take you guys out. Thanks!
-Bonnie and Max'." May finished reading and turned to Dawn. "Nice interpreting." she complimented her. "I didn't know Zoey liked Kenny! That is so cute!" she squealed. Ash scratched his head, now awake. "Isn't Kenny the one who had a crush on you?" Paul clenched and unclenched his fists as Dawn nodded. "But clearly, he got over it!" Dawn sighed dreamily. "I can totally see it now! Zoey Hudson…" she made an imaginary plank in the air.
The next day, they all woke up at 4pm and chatted for a bit before they're alarm went off, seeing as it was 6:13pm.
May, Drew, Leaf, Gary, and this time Bonnie, went to hide in the secret compartment. "I can't fucking fit!" Gary complained. Leaf rolled her eyes for the eleventh time that day, before setting his legs in a position that was easier to fit in with. Misty, Ash, and Max grabbed a black blanket before hiding in there. Paul and Dawn grabbed a suitcase each before stuffing themselves in there. The hood opened.
They all held their breath. The man outside looked at the hood, quite suspicious. "Hey, Harrison," he called. "Does this look weird to you?" he asked. Said man strolled over, uncaringly skimming over the trunk. "No, it doesn't. Pay less attention to this stuff, Case." he said, walking away. Case skimmed over the trunk again, doubtfully. Something was off. He shrugged it off. Oh well.

"Are you sure?"
"Yes sir."
"Fine then. If it doesn't work, then I'll accept Team Aqua's offer."
"Of course sir."
"Very well then. You be on your way."
"Yes sir."
The officer's heels clicked as she exited the room. A man tapped his chair with his fingernails. "Those kids better be here by tomorrow, 009." he taunted his officer, as she stiffened. "Or you know the consequences." She gulped and nodded, before turning away swiftly. The man laughed maniacally. Those kids were soon going to be resting in peace while he takes over the world with his invention. What he didn't know, though, was that a teen was watching him from behind a pillar .
The teen left the building, jumping from roof to roof. He's got to keep them safe. He has to, if he ever wants a chance of living.
