Wally started to worry. "May! I can't find Ralts anywhere!" May scratched her head "Oh Ralts, where could that little guy run off to?!" Wally then smelled something... Something burning. "May," Wally started to say "do you smell... Smoke?" May sniffed the air and nodded "Wait! It's coming from your room!" May said. They both ran to Wally's room, the side close to the windows was on fire! Wally panicked! "MAY! WHAT DO WE DO! THE HOUSE IS MADE OF WOOD, ITLL BURN IN SECONDS!" May smiled, surprisingly looking relaxed. "Hehe Wally you always worry too much, I got this!" She winked at Wally, and Wally smiled a bit "Furret!" She yelled, "Come back!" Furret went back into her pokeball, and May got out another one. "Let's go.... Mudkip!" Mudkip sprung out in action. "Mudkip! Put out the fire with Hydro Pump!" Mudkip aimed at the raging fire and shot a stream of water at the fire putting it out easily. Wally was relieved. "Thank you Mudkip and May!" May smiled "No problem Wally! But do you think the fire had to do with Ralts absence?" Wally scratched his hair. "Hmmm... That could be so, do you think this was the work of team magma?!?" May looked frightened. "Huh?!? Team Magma? No I don't think they would come here for Ralts, but whoever why are they are up to no good!" LillyPolly rolled into the room "So what did I miss?" He asked, although already knowing. "There was a fire but May and Mudkip put it out!" "Ah! Well I'm glad everyone safe! Sorry I was gone, I had some other matters to attend to so I couldn't help searching for Ralts... Did you guys find her anywhere?" May shook her head. "But maybe someone in town saw what happened more clearly or even have Ralts! Let's go!" Wally nodded. "LillyPolly, you coming too?" He asked. "Nah, you guys go without me! Be safe!" The round puffball smiled. Wally smiled back and nodded. "Okay! Me and May will be back soon! May picked up Mudkip and put him back in his pokeball. Then the two walked to the city. "I'm worried May," Wally said, as they walked out the door, "Do you think Ralts is okay?" "I bet she is fine! She's quite the tough pokemon so she'll be okay!" May said reassuringly.

| I sure hope so... I've had Ralts ever since I've moved here. But I'm sure I'll find her, with Mays help there's no doubt! |

The Two asked dozens of people in Petalburg if they knew anything. Then they came across a very small shiny blue house. "How strange, the house is painted with Crystal Paint, the owner must be very rich." May said examining the house. Wally looked at May. "Crystal Paint? What's so special about that?" May giggled. "A small tube of crystal paint is worth more than your house Wally! That's how valuable it is!" Wally's jaw dropped. "That's a lot of money! Why would someone that rich be living in Petalburg??" May shrugged. "To be honest, I've never been to this side of Petalburg myself so I wouldn't know, let's go inside and see if they know anything about Ralts." Wally knocked on the door. A kid, the same age as Wally and May, opened in the door. He had blue hair that went all the way down to his eyes, and a eye patch on his left eye. He had one leg, the other was a small peg. But the kid was smiling. "Oh Hello! Nice to meet you, this is Wally and I'm May!" May said happily, putting out her hand for him to shake. The kid looked at May and immediately fell in love. "May! That's a beautiful name! My name is Kirihito but you can call me Kiri. I'm originally from Slateport but I got bored of that place and moved here. Pleasure to meet you." Instead of shaking her hand, he took her hand and gently kissed it. May blushed. "What a gentlemen!" Wally was a little enviousness.

| Wait what! He kissed May's Hand! He's totally trying to make a move on her! I won't let him have her!|

Wally quickly turned Kiri hand and shook it, and tightly gripped Kiri's hand. "Heh.. Pleasure to meet you" Kiri slightly screamed and drew back his hand. "Haha Wally, you've got quite the grip. Anyways what brings you to my house, but don't worry, it's cool, I don't mind!" He looked back at May. "Oh we won't stay long, we were just seeing if you have seen Ralts anywhere, it's Wally Pokemon and he went missing earlier." May explained. "Ah! I actually do have some information, but I insist, come and stay a bit, we can chat more about this inside!" Kiri said. He let May and Wally in the house and they both sat on the couch across from the other couch where Kiri was.

| Woah, this kids got a very nice house! Everything is so neat and clean!|

"So, I actually have some information about where Ralts is!" Kiri said, "About half an hour ago I saw a suspicious person, dressed in a purple and black robe come and break into Wally's house, but I didn't say anything." Wally was startled. "Wait, so Ralts was kidnapped?!" Kiri nodded. "Then I saw him crawl out the back window with a brown bag in his hands, he looked like he was in quite a hurry. Then he lit a match and threw it through the window and ran away, up north to Route 124." May looked at Wally. "Then we got no time, come on Wally, let's go! We have to get back Ralts!" Wally nodded "Yeah! Let's get back Ralts!" Kiri stood up. "Wait, your already leaving?" He asked. "I'm sorry, but we need to get Wally back his Ralts! I hope you understand!" May said, standing up as well, about to head out the door with Wally. "Let me come with you! I want to help!" Kiri said quickly "I promise I won't slow you down, I have been so bored and this is finally an adventure I can join in!"

|Kiri is a nice guy! He probably knows a lot about outside of Petalburg! But of he tries to make a move on May again...|

"Oh! Sure! The more the merrier!" May said "Right Wally?" Wally nodded "oh... Uh yeah! Kiri! You can come with us!" Kiri smiled "aha! I know..! Y'all can't resist me!" Kiri Winked, "but I might not be able to run that fast!" He admitted, pointing at his wooden leg. "It's fine Kiri! I'm glad your helping us!" "No problem! Anything for a beautiful lady like yourself! ... Oh and you too Wally!" May blushes and Wally smiled, grinding his teeth. "Well we have to go now! Let's not waste time!" Wally said. They all nodded and headed out the door, chasing after Ralts.

LillyPolly sat in the bed back at Wally's house, resting his eyes. Then his watch started ringing. "Huh? Oh." LillyPolly answered the call on his watch. "Hey, are you available, is Wally or anyone around?" The voice on the watch said. "Nope, I'm all alone, what's up?"
"Well, I've got Ralts and I'm going to head underground in our secret lair, meet me there later tonight, okay? Then we start phase two of the plan!"
