First adventure

Before battle

"You there! Oversized brute! Clear the path! We, the mighty Team Magma, will be the ones to obtain that Mega-Evolving Pokémon!""Wh-wha-what?! I have never been so humiliated! You compare ME, Tabitha, the next Chief Admin of Team Magma, to a Makuhita?! You'd better at least make it a Hariyama!""... I don't understand this brute at all... Frightening... It looks as though I have no choice. I'll give you a good taste of the overwhelming power an Admin wields!""Huh? Who is this?!""Hm, hm. Seems like that child's here to get in our way. ...Making this no time for me to be picking fights with oversized brutes. My friend, I suggest we call a temporary truce. Let's work together to wipe out this meddling child!""...This one is proving to be quite a handful. Let's crush this impudent child!""Ahyahya! I pray you don't underestimate me! Admin Tabitha of Team Magma is not about to fall for any last-minute trickery!"

When defeated

"Hyuhn?!"

After being defeated

"Ahya! How could this be? For an Admin like me to lose to some child and a silver-haired pretty boy... M-my evaluation from Leader Maxie will surely go down if he learns of this!""Remember this moment, child! And you there, pretty boy! Someday, I'll pay you back for this! Ahyahyahya!"

These two are gold xD

He turned into his office. 'It seems so simple to approve all of these and go on with my day but of course every possibility must be considered, planned for, and written out before my signature goes anywhere on it!' He sighed and set the small stack down on his desk. 'And I need to pencil in-… what on earth?'

In the center of his desk was a small box with a bright blue bow. He stared at it, 'It's not my birthday, there are no major holidays today, no anniversaries that I know of… why would there be a gift here?'

"Surprise!" Archie shouted from the doorway. Maxie started, "What are you doing here?"

"Givin' ya a gift!"

"Well, I can see that, but why? Have I forgotten something?"

"Nah, man! I just saw it and thought o' you, so I got it!"

"You didn't… have to do something like this. Now I have to return the favor and I have far too much work to do today…"

"Don't worry about it!" He walked over to Maxie and put a hand on his shoulder, "This is gonna help you. A lot, I think."

"What is it?" Maxie asked, picking up the box.

"Open it up and see!"

He held the box, brow furrowing. "Archie… listen, while I appreciate this, I'm not rather comfortable receiving gifts. I understand that it is rude to refuse a gift but-"

"Open the box, Max. Please?"

He sighed and removed the ribbon. 'This had better not be expensive…' He thought as he opened the lid. What stared back at him was an electronic cigarette.

"Ohh, I've heard of these." He picked it up. "These are the things people use to quit smoking, yes? Are you saying you want me to quit?"

"Well, that too. I jus thought it'd be easier fer ya ta puff on this instead o' takin a dozen breaks every day."

"It's hardly a dozen." Maxie said quickly.

"I counted sixteen yesterday."

"Well l happened to be quite stressed yesterday!" He slammed his hand down on the stack of reports. "Nobody is taking the Green Project as seriously as you and I are! This is what will bring back the reputation of both of our teams! How long have we toiled away just for-!"

"Max, turn the thing on and take a puff. There's a switch on the side."

"Well, excuse me!" He shouted as he fiddled with the switch. "Here I thought that I was helping us ascend in the world!" He took a deep drag. "I thought I was… oh, is that cherry?"

"It is indeed." Archie answered.

"Hmm…." Maxie took a small puff. Vapor poured out of his mouth as he exhaled. "Goodness, I resemble a proper volcano."

"I've got ya on one of the higher concentration juices fer right now. Ya can slowly wean yerself off as ya go." He smiled, "How do ya like it?"

"It is…. pleasantly surprising." He exhaled more vapor and leaned back against his desk. "At the very least I can do this in my office."

"Yep. No more goin through half the base ta get yer fix." Archie smile faded, "Listen, I know an addiction can be rough but I really think ya can-"

"I am not 'addicted' to smoking. It just so happens to be one of my many methods of stress relief." He took another drag. "I can stop any time I want…" he said under his breath.

"Alright, what're yer other methods, then? Cause I've only ever seen ya smoke."

"I posses a vast assortment of stress relief techniques, all of which, might I add, provide the same relief as smoking." He stood up straight and took a short drag. "I visit the Lavaridge hot springs, I hike the volcano trail, I play tennis whenever my doubles partner is visiting, I've even begun to dabble in oil painting-"

"Fallin asleep watching Bob Ross ain't 'dabbling in oil painting.'"

"Oh, shut up, you buffoon!"

"And ya only play tennis when yer partner is visiting? How often does 'e visit? Once? Twice a year?"

"I'll have you know that plane tickets from Unova are not cheap!"

"Uh-huh, and when was the last time ya took a hike?"

"It has been unseasonably chilly as of late and it would be a tragedy to this organization if I were to catch cold."

"Ya know, I'm sure it'll manage just fine. And wouldn't a visit to the hot springs after a long hike surely ward off any sneeze demons?"

"When I partake in the delight of the Lavaridge hot springs, I ensure that I have enough time to truly absorb all of the necessary nutrients and give my muscles an opportunity to relax. Why would I even visit if I can't allow my body the proper length of time to-

"That's a lotta words fer sayin' ya haven't made the time."

Maxie shot him a glare as he crossed his arms. He looked away, "What exactly are you saying, Archie?"

Archie sighed, "Look, I jus' think ya need ta focus on yer health more, that's all. I worry about ya sometimes. I walk into work in tha mornin' and yer asleep in tha same place I left ya tha night before. Ya barely eat or drink all day. Yer basically a robot that runs on nicotine and coffee! It ain't healthy, Maxie. At this rate, yer gonna-"

"What, Archie? I'm going to what?"

Archie paused then sighed again, "Again, I jus' want ya ta focus on yer health more. That's it." He started towards the door.

"…Archie, wait." Archie turned around. "…Maybe", Maxie started, "… I suppose you have made some sense." Maxie set his pen down and walked towards Archie. He held out his hand for Archie to shake. "Thank you for… well…"

"Don't mention it." Archie grabbed Maxie's hand, pulled him into a half hug and patted his back. Maxie flushed and hesitantly returned the gesture. Archie pulled away and smiled. "Hey, ya wanna hit the hot springs later?"

Maxie looked towards the small stack on his desk. "That sounds wonderful, however…"

Archie walked over to the stack and flipped through it. He picked up a pen and signed the back of each plan. "Done, let's ship out."

"What did you just do?!" Maxie shouted. He ran to the papers, "I haven't even read them a third time! Not to mention the revisions-!"

"Shhhhhh…" Archie put a finger to Maxie's lips. "Let them figure it out.", he whispered. "If ya don't give em a solution ta every single thing, they learn ta figure things out fer themselves." He put his finger down are returned to a normal volume. "It teaches em ta take our ideas and ideals and put em ta work in their own way. That's how we get good grunts. That's how we get further as a team." He leaned towards Maxie. "That's how you can take a day off and not worry about yer whole operation failing."

Archie leaned back and half smiled. Maxie blinked then looked down at the papers. "You know what?" He said. "You're not as stupid as you look." He set them down on his desk and signed the back of each one. He picked up his vape pen and messaged Tabitha to pick up the papers; Maxie was taking the night off. "Let's go."

"That's the Maxie I know!". They walked out of Maxie's office and towards the exit. "Hey, what's up with that one grunt and the lightbulbs?"
