WARNING! Strong language.

May shakes her head repeatedly.

"No, no, no!" She pouts, stomping the ground. "Wallace, are you insane? Do you have a death wish?"

"We all do, Maylene" Wallace rolls his turquoise eyes. "Look, that's the only way out. We all know Steven's father isn't the best parent out there and we have good reason to think he's being held."

"But we have no proof, and accusing a person of kidnapping is very serious" (Y/F/N) states.

"Especially if the person in question is the president of the biggest corporation in Hoenn" May continues.

"I get why you two and (Y/N) get along..." Wallace places a hand on his forehead. "I'm going, then."

Wallace starts marching to route 102. May and (Y/F/N) trade looks. It's better to join him, than to wait for the situation to resolve itself.

"W-Why would my mother...?" You begin, but Matt interrupts.

"Haven't you heard, (Y/N)?" Matt turns around to look at you. His eyes froze you solid. "There's a war happening as we speak, and they're fighting. Fighting for you."

Your mouth feels dry. You can't think of a quick answer, just absorb what Matt just told you.

A war.

"And you'll be taking part in the war as well... You are our secret weapon."

"We're here for Steven!" Wallace states, putting on a big and fake smile.

"He's... not home" The gentlemen answers, clearly lying. He wipes his sweaty palms on his fancy pants. "I assume he's at some cave right now."

"Okay, then! Thank you, sir!" Wallace smiles before walking away, dragging the girls with him.

"What are you doing, Wallace? Are you stupid?!" May slaps the back of Wallace's head.

"No, idiot, I was confirming our suspicions. Stop hitting me!" Wallace cries.

(Y/F/N) hugs her own body.

"I know a secret entrance. Follow me!"

Wallace starts dragging the girls again. He takes them to the back of the mansion.

He looks for the different pattern on the painting. They created the place a few years ago, when Joseph told Steven he could not be friends with Wallace anymore.

"Found it. Now, just let me do this..." Wallace grabs something from his pocket. "And... There we go!"

The door opened, revealing the stairs that leads to the upper floors. They sneak in carefully, making sure to not leave any traces.

May sighs. She hated being on Steven's house.

"What do we do now, Looker?" May crosses her arms.

"Let's split up and look everywhere" (Y/F/N) suggests, noticing the tension building up around the two friends. "I'll take this floor."

"Fine. I'll check upstairs" Wallace states before walking away.

"I'll take the 3rd floor, I guess..." May rubs the back of her neck. "We should communicate via PokéNav Plus."

(Y/F/N) nods. May climbs up the stairs, feeling a pounding pain hit her heart.
