"Don't you run away from me, thief!" Keegan hollered as he gave chase. The boy was unimaginably fast, but one would suspect a rush of adrenalin was the source, as he did not want to be caught by the raging maniac behind him. The boy turned north and ran, towards the Mauville City limits, but Keegan stayed with him. Finally, he started to slow down, but Keegan did not, fuelled by his anger.
"Look, stop! I can explain!" the boy cried out, dropping the stolen backpack on the ground and throwing his hands in the air. He turned around to face Keegan, a look of terror frozen on his face.
Keegan wasn't in the mood for explanations. He'd had quite enough for one day, and now it was time for some retribution, the old fashioned way. He looked at the boy just long enough to take aim as he lowered his body, and shoulder-tackled him to the ground.

"Afraid? Me? Of course not," Flannery scoffed, although she was certain her eyes betrayed her. "But is it really wise to start trouble?" Her face turned serious, and she looked at Mike for a second, hoping he'd think things through before making a decision.

The young thief cried out in pain as the two hit the dirt, struggling. "What's the big idea, eh?" Keegan screamed, pinning his opponent to the ground. The boy opened his mouth to reply, only to get a knuckle sandwich as Keegan slugged him across the jaw. Fully aware now that his attacker was serious, the blonde boy coughed, spitting a mouthful of blood to the side as he reared back and landed a punch himself. Keegan groaned, taking the hit, and threw another one, giving the lad a black eye to match the one he'd just received. The two continued to fight for several minutes, and it soon became apparent that Keegan held the upper hand. The boy cowered on the ground as Keegan staggered to his feet, and stared down at the boy with fury burning in his eyes.
"I'll... teach... you... to... steal... from... people!" Keegan yelled, landing a kick in with each hit, feeling satisfaction with every cry of pain the boy yelped. He stopped, breathing heavily as the boy scrambled to his feet. "Get out of here!" Keegan shouted at him, taking a menacing step forward, and the boy fled, hobbling away as fast as he could. "Before I whoop you again!" Now utterly exhausted, Keegan sank to his knees, trying to catch his breath. Feeling significantly better, he rose, and picked up his belongings, happy to have them back. Artemis gave a cry from the tree branch she'd been resting on, and flew down beside her trainer, chirping with excitement. Keegan gave a bloody smile, and staggered back towards Mauville City.

Keegan sighed happily as he made his way back to Mauville, his possessions back where they belonged - with him. "That felt good," he told Artemis, his voice shaky. "I haven't had a good fight like that in a long time." As he walked into town, he was aware of people staring at him again, but he couldn't care less. He'd got his things back, and that was all that mattered. His left eye was now swollen shut, and his scrapes, cuts and bruises all hurt at once as he stumbled his way back to the Pokemon Center, a very smug look on his face as he staggered in through the sliding doors. He glanced over to Nurse Joy, who wore a look of shock, and announced in a very loud voice "Victory!" before he promptly collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

"Hm..." The boy thought for a moment, weighing the facts. On one hand he could deal another major strike to the foundation of evil that plauged Kanto, yet on the other something bad could happen. He's gotten himself and others out of messes before, so why not? "Yep! Come on Flannery, that somber expression doesn't suit you. You're cute when you smile."

Giovanni kept his fists shoved in his pockets as he walked through his lab, gazing at the experiments that were taking place. A group of scientists were crowded around what looked like an overgrown Pokeball Transporter. However, one thing was different; there was no Pokeball. Instead, a full-grown Miltank sat where the Pokeball would have gone. It was wimpering. Giovanni smirked, Good to see those Miltank Kilik caught are doing me some good, he thought. He strode past them, a round of applause roaring from them as they managed to teleport the Miltank from one side to another.
"We could be on the breakthrough of teleporters of humans!" spouted the scientist at the front, "Team Rocket would be able to move throughout Kanto and..." his voice faded from Giovanni's ear. Another experiment was being conducted on an oddly colored Zubat; caught by a Rocket grunt in Mount Moon. He strode past all these experiments, heading through a door in the back. His smirk was wide and smug.

Kilik placed the Egg on the table, eying it as if it were about to do a trick. However, it wiggled slightly and began to roll toward the end of the table. A gasp escaped him and he caught it on the tips of his fingers. He sighed a sigh of relief. Weezing floated up and purposely bumped himself into Kilik's wrist. The Egg fell toward the ground once more. "Weezing!" he barked, snatching up a mere inch above the ground. It gave a quick shake. The boy growled and sat up, fixing his shirt. Poison types sure have a rotten personality... he thought, rubbing the top of the Egg. A sharp pain shot through his head and he balled his fist in his hair. Flareon gave out a yelp.
"It's...nothing," he said, shaking his head. His head began throbbing. At that moment, he had two horrible thoughts run through his mind at the same time: What was Giovanni doing now? and Why had Nina been like she was when he saw her? Deciding not to brood too much on it, he straightened himself in the seat and pet the Egg softly. Weezing blew a rather loud rasberry.

Flannery gave Mike an odd look, and shook her head. "This is all I need, putting my rep on the line as a gym leader to go stir up trouble with the leader of an evil organization that's not even in my home region." She continued to shake her head, and looked over at Nitro. "He hasn't change a bit, has he?"

"Hold that thought." Mike dug through his pockets and took out his PokeNav. There's someone I'd like to call first. Scrolling down the list of friends, he stopped at Kasiya's. "Aha!" Pressing the Send button, he held the phone attachment up to his ear, waiting for an answer...
Nitro nodded with a smile, looking back at his trainer to see that he wasn't looking. Pointing back to his trainer, he flailed his arms trying to communicate with the lovely Gym Leader. "Come on woman! Mike is totally crazy for you! Always has been!" Realizing that wasn't getting anywhere, he blew a smoke heart, pointing to Mike then her, hoping she'd get the message. He didn't know what had just happened in the cafe and was sick of Mike keeping it under wraps.

Kasiya's PokeNav rang shrilly, and Mya, unable to stand the sound of a ringing, unanswered phone, picked up. "Hello?" she said, her voice remarkably like Kasiya's, only more mature, sorting through Kasiya's laundry as she propped the device against her shoulder to keep both hands free.

"Now what?" Flannery sighed, and watched Nitro's actions. "It's alright, Nitro," she said softly. "I know." She watched the heart-shaped puff of smoke fly up and disspate, and she sighed. "I know."

Mike was slightly confused at the sound of 'Kasiya's' voice. "Kassie? Is that you? Are you sick?" He sounded concerned, what if she had waited for him in Petalburg? It was kinda chilly and he didn't remember her wearing a jacket.
"Hm, maybe I'm not so bad at communicating with humans as I-YOU KNEW?!" He faltered a bit, causing Mike to wobble. He felt sad looking at Flannery like something didn't go right. He gently nudged the girl, a look of concern written all over him.

"Who's this?" Mya asked, a bit confused. "No, Kassie's upstairs in the shower. This is her mother." Mya wasn't sure how to take being confused with her daughter. "May I ask who's speaking?"

Flannery smiled at the silly Charizard, and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry," she told the giant lizard. "Everything will work out in the end. Somehow."

"Um...T-this is Mike." He sounded almost confused as he spoke, meeting parents was never one of his greatest strengths. He remembered meeting Flannery's grandfather and nearly burning down the house. Long story. "I um, I take it she's at home then?"
Nitro stuck out his tounge at the girl, glad to see things would 'work out' for better or worse. "He really likes you..."
