"Boy, where did you grow up, Johto or something? The rules here are different because I say so!" She crossed her arms, a frown fixed on her face. "If you want to battle so badly you're going to have to do something really nice for me." Winona began tapping her foot, looking to the side like he wasn't even there. She flipped her hair back into place, looking up at her helmet she grunted. She liked it.

Flannery looked down at Mike, but could say nothing. It was clear that he'd had one trying day, and it was beginning to wear thin on her as well. "Well, what did she say?" she asked, stroking his back almost automatically. She stared straight a head, although focused on nothing at all.

Seeing as this wasn't going anywhere, and the fact that it would probably be quicker to just do whatever she wanted him to do he resigned himself to whatever Winona made him do. "All right, even though you are in the wrong here I will do whatever you want me to do." He said patiently. " And if you must know I grew up traveling around with my mother."
"Aww we arn't really going to do something for her are we?" Meowth complained crossing his arm's over his cheast clearly not happy.

"I'll be right there," Kasiya whispered into the PokeNav, although he'd already hung up. "Don't be sad." She held the device to her chest for a second, taking in what he had said. Do I really want to go back and face Giovanni already? What will he do to me if he sees me there again? And Nina? Acting different? Saying mean things... her thoughts tumbled over in her mind, and she reached a decision. She had to get to Viridian, it was clear to her that Mike needed her. All at once she reached for Fang's Pokeball, but decided it was too dangerous. Once more she turned on her PokeNav, and scrolled through the numbers before she found the name she was looking for. Hitting 'dial', she patiently waited for an answer. "Hello, Mai? It's me. Is that offer still up of you being there if I needed you?"
About ten minutes later, Kasiya and Mai were soaring through the skies on the back of Mai's trusty Flygon. "Thanks for this," Kasiya said, shielding her face from the wind. "I just can't risk flying with Fang anymore. He's too... loopy."
"No problem," Mai said, glancing back at her sister. "But why are you going back to Viridian? Did you not hear what Giovanni said about killing you without hesitation?"
"Right now he's not my concern," Kasiya told her sternly. "A dear friend of mine needs my help and I have to be there for him, no matter what."

"I...I don't remember." He sniffed, trying not to get any tears on Flannery's shirt. He pulled away from her, suddenly feeling very out of place. "I'm sorry." Mike said simply as he sat down back in the dirt, putting his hat back on. "I'm...sorry I feel that way about you." He choked up on a few more tears, resting his hands on his knees as he sat in a mess on the ground. "You must think I'm some love sick fool." At that moment he began to cry again. It just didn't seem fair, he was always nice to people and never asked for any favors. Nina's words stung, not only the insults, but he didn't want Flannery to know just how deeply he cared for her. He didn't want to wreck their friendship. The boy sat there, alone.

Winona glanced back, thinking the facade had gone on long enough. "I don't think I'll be needing you to do anything." She turned back towards them and relaxed. "Sorry sweetie, it just gets so boring and lonesome up there that a girl has to be a little bad every now and then right?" The lovely girl winked playfully at Dante. "You wish to battle me, Winona the flying Pokemon Gym Leader?" A serious look overwrote her cute smile as she stepped forward. "Three on three battle, I hope you're not biting off more than you can chew big boy."

"Mike," Flannery said softly, looking around at the scenery. "It's not your fault. You didn't cause Nina to change so suddenly. It's pretty obvious that her sister's sudden death caused such a dramatic flip in her personality. I don't think she's had the proper time to grieve, the only thing on her mind at the moment is vengeance and hate." She paused, and looked at him for a second, looking away when he didn't look back at her. "As for your feelings, I don't think that's your fault either. You can't control who you fall in love with..." she trailed off. Saying it only seemed to make it sink in deeper, and once again she felt a pang of guilt.

The worry and fear in her heart only seemed to grow as they neared Viridian City. Kasiya bit her lip, burying her face in Mai's back, silently wishing Sirrus would go faster. Sensing her sister's anxiety, Mai sighed. "Don't worry, everything will work out," she said reassuringly, even though she knew it probably didn't sink in. The now familiar landscape of Viridian played out before them, and Sirrus flew towards the gym instinctively.
"Don't drop me off at the gym," Kasiya said suddenly, looking around. She eyed the ground anxiously, crying out in excitement as she saw Nitro's flaming tail below. "Let me off," she said. Sirrus swooshed down gently, hovering for a second as Kasiya jumped down from the Flygon's back.
"Be careful," Mai said, as Sirrus flew off again, disappearing in only a few seconds. Kasiya looked over, and saw Mike sitting on the ground not too far away. She grit her teeth and ran, ignoring with every ounce of her strength the throbbing pain in her ankle. After what seemed like an eternity, she reached them, her heart pounding in her chest.
"...Mike?"

Dante raised an auburn eyebrow at the gril but smirked slightly at her. "I accept the three on three battle, and you do know that your not going to win this battle right?" He shot back cockaly. "Ladies first." He said moving over to his side of the arena, his nice new black coat floating behind him. Meowth made face's at Winona behind his trainer's back. he knew he would probably have to be in this battle but that didn't stop him from teasing the other gym leader.

"You're right, but it still wasn't fair of her to say those things. I practically saved her life!" He pulled his legs close to his chest, just wanting something nice to happen. Just then he heard his name.
He looked up, a very welcome familiar face looking back at him, she seemed worried. "Kassie?" Mike spoke between sniffles, too weak to stand up.

"Yep, it's me," Kasiya smiled lightly, walking towards him. She cast a glance to Flannery, who nodded at her, and she nodded back. "Hi." She took a few steps closer, wincing slightly as she realized she could no longer stand on her injured ankle, and she dropped to her knees in front of him. "That look is so not you," she said, still smiling as she reached out and wiped a tear from his cheek.

Mike flinched as Kasiya came near him, pulling back like an abused Pokemon. "She hurt me Kasiya...she hurt me Flannery." He said softly pulling himself into a tighter ball. His hair was messier than usual, covering most of his face.
He felt crushed inside, all of his beliefs had come crashing down. He was raised this way and people couldn't accept him.

Kilik slipped his hands out of his pockets and crossed them over his chest. He heard Flareon give out a yelp as Weezing bit down on him. Clearly they were fighting over the Egg. "Cut it out!" he barked over his shoulder at them. A few of the other trainers in the Center turned to look at him. However, he ignored their gazes and continued looking out the window. "I feel that I need to be somewhere other than here...but I can't..." he looked at the floor, "get there."

"I don't understand. Who hurt you?" she asked, pulling back her hand. "Flannery?" She glanced over at the gym leader, then back at Mike again. "What the hell happened here?"
"Your friend, Nina," Flannery spoke up, her voice low. "Things have happened, and she is no longer the person you remember." She gestured towards the Viridian Gym. "Long story short, Team Rocket killed her sister, and now the only thing on her mind is revenge."
"Team Rocket...what!?" Tears stung in her eyes, as she didn't need a further explanation to understand. "Sabrina is...?" she whimpered, covering her face with her hands. "Oh Nina!"

When Keegan awoke a few hours later, he was lying in a soft bed, feeling as though he'd been run over by a truck. He sat up gingerly, wincing from the pain that seemed to come from everywhere. He checked himself over, curious to see that his hands were bandaged, as well as the worst of the cuts he'd sustained a few hours ago. He moaned, sliding back down, wishing he had a double dose of Morphine right about now. He heard a whimper from beside him, and looked over to see Helios peeking at him over the bed from his place on the floor. Keegan smiled, reaching a hand down to pet the soft Vulpix, grunting a little as he lifted the small fox from the ground and put him on the bed.
"He's a very loyal Pokemon," a voice said, and Keegan looked up to see Nurse Joy come in the room. "He let himself out of his Pokeball moments after you collapsed, and he's been by your side ever since."
"Really? Thanks, Helios," the boy said, feeling somewhat better just knowing that. "How long have I been out?"
"Just a few hours," replied the nurse, setting a glass of water on the table next to him. "You scared everyone when you just passed out."
"Heh," Keegan chuckled, having a sip of the water. "Thanks," he added as an afterthought.
"Think nothing of it," Joy replied cheerfully. "My specialty is treating and healing Pokemon, but luckily we nurses are trained in the first aid of humans as well." She smiled, and left the room, humming to herself.
"Is she always that chipper?" Keegan asked Helios, who gave a nod for a reply. "Ah, just wondering," the boy smiled, leaning back and closing his eyes.
