Quite a short while later, Kasiya was up and pacing in her confinement, observed by her cellmate, the Sandshrew. She now had two more burn marks on her body, one on her other ankle and one on her other hand. However, she was too infuriated to really feel the pain. "Damn these bars! Damn this place! Damn it all!" she yelled, nearly pounding on the bars with her fists, but stopping herself. "I almost did it again!" she yelled, and kicked the wall instead.
She hunched down in the corner, silently fuming. She felt a gentle tap on her leg, and looked over to see the Sandshrew, and her angry look melted. "You don't deserve to be cooped up in here," she sighed. "None of us do."
Then, as though struck like lightning again, she looked at the bars. And she looked at the Sandshrew. And she looked at the bars once more, and back to the Sandshrew.
"I'm such a moron sometimes," she said, standing up. A grin spread across her face as a plan as coming together in her mind.

The Sandshrew looked up at her with a 'what?' look on its face, it bounced up and down eagerly.
"You're a ground type. You can't be shocked by those stupid bars," Kasiya told it, and for a second or so, the Sandshrew looked a bit annoyed that it too had forgotten that fact. "Nobody else can try to bash their way out of here. But you can."
"Shroo..." Sandshrew looked over at the cell bars, studying them. They didn't look that tough...
"You can do it!" Kasiya cheered. "Break down the bars!"
"Shrew! Sandshrew!" it cried, raising its claws high in the air, and charged at the bars, shrieking the entire way.
CLANG. Kasiya rushed forward in time to catch the dizzy Pokemon. "It was worth a shot," Kasiya said reassuringly. "I was sure you could do it..."
"Shroooo..." Sandshrew closed its eyes, and glared at the bars. No man made contraption would keep it confined. It jumped to its feet and charged once more. CLANG.

CLANG.
"Please don't hurt yourself....ahh!" Kasiya closed her eyes. CLANG. "Please, be careful..."
Sandshrew stopped, looking back at the girl that had befriended it. It glanced up at the bars once more, and shook its head. It wasn't any use. It just wasn't strong enough to break free. It hung its head, walking over to Kasiya again. "Shrew."
"Don't be discouraged," Kasiya told it, and gave it a hug. "I still think you're wonderful for even trying."
It looked up at her. It had never had a real trainer before. But was this what it was like? Encouragement, comfort, trust, care? It looked back up at the bars, and up into the girl's face again. I can, and I will! it thought fiercely, breaking away from Kasiya's embrace and charging at the bars one last time. It leaped into the air, claws extended, as something marvelous started to happen. Its claws elongated, and became incredibly sharp. Its leathery hide seemed to split and crack open as large quills erupted from inside, lining the Pokemon's back. Its ears grew longer, and it nearly doubled in size altogether. As the Pokemon reached the electrified bars, it spun like a top, in a move Kasiya recognized as Rapid Spin. In a whirlwind of metal, debris and dust, stood a fully grown Sandslash and a way out.

Mag walked down the stairs just in time to see a large explosion of dirt and metal go flying across the hallway a few cells down. "Well I guess I'm not needed here." Mag said as he walked over to the cell.
Inside were a Sandslash and a somewhat burned looking girl that Mag vaguely remebered was Kasiya.

"Nutcase." He said to himself as he pat Portabello on the head, being wary of his new 'gloves'. He reached for a Pokeball, calling out Felsic for some much deserved fresh air. He cooed, stretching out his long body and slinking himself up Mike's arm to his shoulder. "You're so cute." He said, scratching the Quilava's chin. A gentle Lavaridge breeze swept across, Portabello taking a nice deep breath in, loving the nice weather. It's so peaceful here.
Nitro smirked at Mike's new gadget. "Well, I doubt that could hold up to my flame, but it's a start." Portabello merely rolled his eyes. "Nutcase."
Mike continued over to the Lavaridge Gym, opening the door and poking his head in. He looked around, spotting Flannery by one of the statues. "I'm back!" He said, making his way to the lovely red headed vixen.

"I don't know. For the whole five minutes I've had it it seems to be doing fine," Mitsu said looking down at the egg. Upon closer inspection it seemed smaller than the normal egg would. Probably because it's a small Pokemon. The boat continued to cruise across the open sea nearing the island.

Having a somewhat similar line of thought Dante comented. "I would hate to see how big and heavy a Snorlax egg must be." He thought for a moment. "And I am pretty sure the train ride took more then five minutes Mitsu. But yeah its not like its condition would have changed since when I gave it to you."

Nitro sauntered in like he owned the place, a superior grin on his face. He waved to the confused trainers, who were quite amused to see such a goofy Pokemon. "That must be Mike's old Charmander." One of them said, elbowing his hiker friend with a laugh.
The Charizard only smiled, as always loving the attention. To further his show-off attitude, he spread his wings and struck a majestic pose. The trainers all snickered at Nitro's silly antics, resuming their previous training. "Yeah, I'm pretty great."
"Great at being a moron." Portabello interjected, shaking his head at the Charizard's usual attitude. "At least you're a good clown."
Nitro scowled at the Breloom. "I'm no clown!" He snarled, whipping his tail, which Portabello easily hopped over. "Nice try though."
Snorting a bit of smoke, he shook his fist angrily at the now smiling Breloom.
Mike raised an eyebrow, placing his hands on his hips. "You two fight like a married couple." He said with a laugh.

Kasiya stood there, staring with her mouth gaping open. "You're fantastic!" she squeaked, rushing over to the Sandslash and lifting it off the ground. "You did it! I knew deep down you could!"
"Slash!" cried the newly evolved Pokemon, gratefully accepting the hug. It looked over Kasiya's shoulder, seeing Mag standing there. "Sand?" it inquired.
"Hmm?" Kasiya turned to see the familiar face, as the Sandslash slid to the ground and stood next to her. "Hey wait...don't I know you?" she asked, looking slightly confused. "But why are you dressed like a member of Team Rocket?"
"Slash!" Sandslash cried, hopping up and down.
"Oh!" Kasiya cried, grabbing her backpack from the cell. "I'm sure someone heard that....uh, I gotta go! You didn't see anything!" she shouted at Mag as she rushed by him, Sandslash hot on her heels.

"Welcome back!" Flannery smiled, walking up to him. She pulled a flame-decorated handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "We've just finished our training, and I'm free as a bird," she said cheerfully. She watched Portabello and Nitro for a moment. "Sometimes it makes me wonder what they're saying to each other," she laughed.

"Oddly enough, Portabello can talk telapathically." Mike said, still looking at his squabbling Pokemon.
That's right, not only am I devilishly handsome, but I'm practical too! Portabello winked playfully as he hopped back over to Mike.
"I wish I could talk..." Nitro said hanging his head. Mike walked over and gave his Charizard a kiss on the nose. "You're awesome just as you are."
Felsic hopped from Mike's shoulder to Nitro's head, curling around his horns.
The boy walked beside the tall Gym Leader. "So, what do you want to do?" He asked with a sweet smile.

Her first thoughts were of escape, but Kasiya dissmissed them as she realized her Pokemon were still captive. "I don't even know where to start looking for them," she sighed.
"Slash," the Sandslash said reassuringly.
"That was Mag," Kasiya said suddenly, a name coming to mind. "But what the heck is he doing in Team Rocket?" She shook her head. "Mai. If I find Mai, I'll find my Pokemon!" she growled, focusing her mind. "I'll save them!"

"Interesting," Flannery mused, scratching her chin. she recalled her own Pokemon, setting the Pokeballs carefully. "I'm game for mostly anything," the gym leader replied with a grin. "Mind you, the prospect of lunch is sounding mighty nice."

"Hm. Well that was interesting." Mag said as she had promptly left. Mag looked over to see a camera at the end of the hallway. "Well at least I don't have to go sound the alarm and act like a loyal Rocket. I suppose I should chase after her though and invent a story about being disabled by fear of the small sandlash or something." Mag said as he began to walk toward the end of the room.

Mike bowed humbley. "Then if my lady wants lunch, it is lunch she will have." He smiled at his own goofy attitude. You're a smug little one aren't you? Taking a little break, Milo added that little jab. Mike promptley ignored him as he offered the door to Flannery, recalling his Pokemon. "The usual Lavaridge Diner I take it?" He asked, holding the door open, a nice breeze flowing through.
