" You're going to get me in so much trouble," she whined. " And I can't afford that. I want this stupid thing off my neck, despite how transparent and handy it can be...And how am I supposed to do that with diablo running around the place and these idiots pointing the blame to me?"
She hit her forehead.
" Oi. Let's just get out of here. You've fainted about every employee in the building, so we can probably just waltz out the front door. Where is that, by the way?"
She gave a sheepish grin.
" See, my method of getting here as been unconventional, at best."

<Well we could or we could go out the back,> Jax said as a door 'magically slid up with daylight on the other side, <It's closer,> Jax mewed.

" Er....Yeah, sure, why not. Those losers'll wake up any second anyway." Shrugging, she followed the mew toward the daylight, wondering where to go next. She'd earned one badge already. Should she go toward the next one?

they came out right behind the pokemon center, and Shuani just notices Jax is holding a bag of something with his tail that you could've sworn wasn't there before..

Shauni arched a brow. " Right behind the pokemon center? And people don't even notice? Yeesh. A man with Giovanni's money should be happy where he is and stop trying to conquer the world. But, whatever floats his boat.."
Shrugging again, she turned to look at the bag in Jax's tail.
" What the heck? What do you got in there?"

<Just something I thought you'd like> Jax replied as he dropped it revealing there was at least 350,000 money in the bag. <so do you like it,> Jax mewed in question.

Shauni's eyes widened with greed. " Like it? I love it!"
Without even caring where he'd gotten it from, or who might have been harmed in the process, she attempted to give him a crushing hug, but stopped herself.
" Er, sorry about that. Thanks so much for this...I had a feeling I'm not going to be getting my paycheck anytime soon anyway."
She stared at the money for a few more minutes.
"...Awesome.. You're too nice, you know that?"

<yeah I know, and giovanni isn't planning to remove your Collar...ever,> Jax mewed, <treat your pokemon with respect and they will listen if you start abusing their trust and they will turn> Jax said.

" Hey, if I do what he asks and gives him what he wants, isn't he obligated to remove it? That was part of the agreement..I think." She furrowed her eyebrows, a little fuzzy on the details.
" Well, I'll MAKE him remove it. At one point or another, along this demented journey, I'm gonna become a super-strong trainer with these awesome guys. He'll have no choice but to do it."
She grinned, patting her pokeballs.
" And thanks for the advice. I'll be nice to my pokemon, I mean, they're kinda like my family...What about you and yours? Seem pretty tight."

<No problem Giovanni can't always be trusted, and yes my pokemon are my family, I never knew my human parents heck I don't even remember being human,> Jax mewed.

" Hey, if he's not going to give me the money he promised, then I'm not going to do anything for his team. That's the only reason I ever considered it..The money. He's obviously never going to be able to take over."
She gave a sympathetic look. " I'm sorry to hear that, Jax, I really am..But I'm sure you've got friends now, right? Sometimes friends are better than family anyway. Trust me."
She frowned, thinking about her own family.

<Yeah I do but I always wondered why they had to change me when I was Barely two days old,> Jax replied.

" Well, I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, but not everyone in that team is as evil as the ones who did that to you. Heck, half of them are probably like me. Only in it for the money."
She grinned at the thought. " Though you know, with this money, I can avoid going back for a long time...Heck, maybe I shouldn't go back. I gave him a Ho-oh. That's enough. I think I quit now. Never got a uniform anyway, so it wasn't official."
She laughed. " Loooppphoole."
She still felt bad about Jax, though.
" Hey..You want some of the money?"
She couldn't believe she was saying that, but HE had given it to her anyway.

" WHAT?!"
She felt her face flush with humiliation.
"...Somebody should be slapped for that. That's just... AN INVASION OF PRIVACY!"
She seemed more upset about the fact that someone had not respected her personal privacy, than the brand itself.
" You know what, screw that brand. It's just a brand, it can't do anything to me. And I guarantee you that's the LAST time anyone sees that area of my skin."
She muttered to herself, shaking her head.
"Ugh. Just need to keep that area covered up, and I'll be fine. HAHA! TAKE THAT, GIOVANNI!"
She seemed in a good mood today.
" I think we've outsmarted him enough for today..What say you show me around this town and the best way to the next? I'm feeling lucky."

<Don't brag otherwise you'll be screwed so to speak," Jax replied, as he proceeded to escort Shauni around a random pokeball or ten being thrown at Jax every once in awhil.

" I'll brag all I want, when I want, got it mew-boy? It's not like I have anything more to lose." She sighed every time someone tried to catch him.
" You know, you'd think they'd learn after the first ball didn't work.."

<you'd think that but they're persistant,> Jax replied while sneaking a familier pokeball into Shauni's hand along with a note, <see ya later,> Jax replied as he teleported away.

Shauni read the note, and felt her stomach churn as she realized what was inside the pokeball.
" Oh man, Jax..."
She sighed. Now they'd gone to the base for nothing. She hoped there had been no security cameras that had caught the two of them going down the hallway and out, that way, she could escape getting in trouble.
" Well, this could work out. If he ever wants this pokemon, he has to make me a deal of removing this collar. I won't settle for less."
She grinned. Now she had all her pokemon back. This could work to her advantage.
