I'm just going to write Ch. 8, then I'm logging off. I'm not in a good mood right now. Leave the criticism for when I shake off my anger/depression.:( :disappoin

Ch. 8 Reunion
Sam left the gym, and got out his cell phone, and dialed Flannery's number. After the third ring, she answered, "
Hello?"
Sam began,"
Hey! I have your Master Ball. I caught someone from Team Emerald trying to run off with it."
Flannery replied, "
I'm not suprised. That cost a ton of money."
Sam continued,
"Where should I meet you?
"There's a cave over by Beachside. I'm training my new Cyndaquil there."
"Wha...?"
"I found it abandoned by the Beachside gym."
"I wonder why such a rare Pokmon would be tossed aside like that?"
"They started to appear by Landing Isle. By the way, do you still have the Heat Badge I gave you four years ago?"
Sam reached into his backpack, and pulled out a small case. He opened it, revealing the eight Hoenn League Badges, but the Heat Badge, dusty and covered in cobwebs, hung from the roof of the case. Sam blew it off and answered Flannery's question,"
Yeah, why?"
Flannery spoke,"
Don't lose it. I need to see when we meet again."
"Okay. I guess I'll see you in the cave."
After a couple good byes, Sam walked up to the edge of the island. He looked at something he didn't noitice before. It was an accessable strait. He could've had Tyranitar Surf, instead of going into the cave. Sam felt totally stupid for this discovery. He tries it out, and yells in anger again for not discovering it sooner. He walks up to the coast, the Premier Ball holding Tyranitar in hand. He throws it, and Tyranitar is freed. Sam hops on Tyranitar, and they set off. Everything was going smoothly, until a strange serpent arose from the water. The produced wakes made Sam loose his balance instantly. He toppled into the water, and tried to stayed awake, but all failed.
He woke up on a beach, and a figure looming over him. Sam sat up, and the figure pulled back, who turned out to be Laura. She yelled out to the crowd, "
He's okay!"
The crowd cheered, and they cleared up eventually. Sam found Tyranitar, standing by Laura, who started to talk,
"Your Tyranitar saved your life. He went under and retrieved you. You surely would've drown if it wasn't for your companion."
Soon enough, a girl with long brown hair walked up to the couple. "
Im Erin, the Gym Leader here." she said in a bright tone, "
You're a very lucky person. I was thinking later we could have a battle."
Sam blushed a bit, and Laura started to look a little angry. Jealousy? Who knows. Erin retreated back to the Beachside Gym. "
How many badges do you have?" Laura queried
, "I have three."
She flashed a badge from Sam's father, Eric, and Erin. She then sent out Aggron, who walked into the water. Laura boarded her Pokmon, and left for Pier Isle.
Sam headed to the north, where the cave was supposed to be. He located the entrance, and slowly walked in. He continued down the path, and ran off into a corner, and watched something suspicious. A woman with light-emerald colored hair, and two Emerald Men were standing around a Blaziken, who was apparently digging for something. Sam was able to make out their leader's speech,"
Guys, are you sure it's here?"
One of the Grunts replied
,"It should be. I saw her run down this path, and she dropped something right here."
One of the Grunts noticed Sam standing there. That's when an Ariados shot a net of silk at Sam. The Ariados pulled Sam to the center of the group. The woman walked up to Sam, who was on the ground under the net, and began to interrogate,"
What are you doing here?"
Sam remained silent.
The woman kicked Sam, and commanded
,"Answer me! What are you doing here, Samuel?"
Sam appeared shocked,
"How do you know my name?"
The woman replied
,"You were the one who became Champion after defeating the Elite Four of Evergrande, gaining the championship from that one guy."
"What guy?"
"His name isn't important right now. You should know that I am Emma, Leader of Team Emerald. I understand you have all eight Hoenn League Badges. The thing is, I'm looking for some badges. I have in my possesion an Earth Badge, a Mineral Badge, and a Rising Badge. These badges are a lot more than meets the eye. They together, unlock something, but I'm missing one. Now, I trust you have, let's say, A Heat Badge?"
With that last phrase, Sam began struggling like he never struggled before. His side stung horribly, most likely because of the kick delivered to him. Emma's Blazikem started burning the net off of Sam, slightly burning his skin. As soon as the net burned almost all the way off, Sam made a break for it. He was still in pain, and the Blaziken was swift. Just when he thought all was lost, A Arcanine shot by and cut the Blaziken off. That's when some officers dashed into the cave. The head officer told Sam,"
Continue through the cave. We can handle these goons."
Sam escaped into the next room, where Flannery stood with her Quilava, (Her Cyndaquil obviously evolved.) and was shouting commands to it. Sam walked in, with the Master Ball, and Heat Badge in hand. Flannery turned around, and saw Sam walk in. After Sam gave her the goods, she spoke, "
Thanks. I can't think about what would happen if Team Emerald got their hands on this stuff."
But, Sam still couldn't help but asking
, "What is Team Emerald's motive?"
Flannery answered
,"World domination, pure and simple. They plan to capture Rayquaza, and use its power to reshape the planet in their likings. The badges are vital for the capture, because they are said to be the five badges that were distributed at a league held along the Sky Pillar. The legend states that the owner of all five badges can open a secret room in the Tyrant Cave northeast of Emerald Island. In the room is the secret to summoning Groudon and Kyogre, and putting them under the trainer's control, making that trainer invincible. Emma could command them to fight until Rayquaza is summoned."
Sam has heard these legends before, but never believed them. Afterwards, Sam left the Beachside Cave, and headed for Erin's Gym.
