Three days later:
Suicune jumped up and down when she and Sephia walked down the road. Her wounds were healed fully.
"No we'll free them, right?", she asked excited. Sephia smiled. "Well, what's your plan?" Suicune stopped and looked at her new friend. "Oh...I don't have one..." Sephia shook her head in disbelieve. "Should we knock and ask: 'May we have the Pok�mon back?' We need a plan. I tell you something. We'll go to the orphanage first, I need some clothes and food and in this time, you think about a plan, ok?" Suicune nodded. "But I thought you didn't want to go back there." "See it as a practise. We'll sneak in and get the things without being seen." Suicune smiled. "That's a good idea. Let's go!"

Meanwhile:
"Let's dig!", Mewtwo yelled angry. "Suicune is dead or she decided to ignore us and runs happy through the world now!"
"Arti arti cuno? Cu cu cuno! (How can you say this? I'm sure she'll be back soon!)", Articuno shouted. Mewtwo gave him an angry look. "Arti arti cuno! Cuno arti cuno! (But dig if you want! I'll save my strength!)" He turned around and walked to the others. They were asleep. Even if a Pok�mon could survive longer without food than a human, the limit was reached slowly. Moltres was here since more than two weeks and his fire was that weak now that even Articuno could sit next to him now.
Mewtwo started digging further into the earth when Articuno heard steps. As fast as he could Mewtwo placed some stones over the hole. A few moments later, a member of Team Rocket stepped in. He wear a strange belt.
"Now, that's nice. Finally, three of them are weak enough. The boss will be pleased." He took a Pok�ball out. "Here we go!", the man shouted and threw the ball. Articuno jumped in front of his friends and kicked the ball away just in time.
"Arti arti cu cuno! (Don't dare to hurt them!)"
The man looked angry. "I don't understand you, bird. Go out of my way!" Mewtwo stood up and went to the man. "He said that he couldn't allow you to hurt them. Bit I guess it's ok for him if I hurt you!" With this words, he summoned a ball of pure energy and threw it at the criminal. The man ran through the door just in time. The ball exploded at the field of force in front of the door. "You...! I won't forget this!" The man ran away.
Mewtwo looked confused. "He went through the field of force like it wouldn't be there.."
"Arti arti cuno! Cuno cuno cu! (Remember his belt! It glowed when he went through it!)"
Mewtwo stared at him. "You could be right. Ok, I'll dig. If someone dares to come in, we'll steal the belt." Articuno nodded and sat down next to Zapdos. After a few minutes, he was asleep.

Without a noise, Sephia and Suicune climbed through an open window. "My room is on the second floor", Sephia whispered. Suicune nodded. "I share the room with three other girls, but it's lunch time now. I guess it'll be not too difficult."
They went up the stairs, quietly. But suddenly, the two intruders heard a person coming down, step by step.
"It sounds like a collaborator. Do you know hypnosis?", Sephia asked as low as she could. "No. I'm a water Pok�mon, remember?", Suicune whispered back. "Yeah. It just would have been nice now? What should we do?" "I could use my water gun..." "Uh....guess that's the only way. Ok, I'll run down a few steps, so the collaborator won't see me. Looking at you should surprise him, so you'll have a few seconds to knock him down, ok?" The legendary Pok�mon nodded and Sephia ran downstairs.
"Hey! Who's there!", a male voice asked from above, the steps quickened. Suicune saw a man coming downstairs, he looked more like a bodyguard than a collaborator. "What the...?", he mumbled when he noticed Suicune. She wasted no time and used her water gun. The man fell down, unconscious. Sephia ran upstairs again and stooped.
"That's Mr Wilston!" Suicune looked puzzled. "It doesn't matter who he is, right?" Sephia looked at the man with pure hate. "It was a year ago, I think. I had to wash the dishes and a plate shattered because of my fault. Mr Wilston was angry. Very angry. He broke my hand." Suicune gasped. "Because you broke a single plate?" Sephia said nothing. She went to the collaborator.
"I'll never forget this...", the girl said. "Should I bite his hand off?" Suicune stepped next to her friend. But Sephia shook her head. "No. We wouldn't be an inch better than him if we'll hurt him now." Without another word, she went further upstairs. Suicune took a last look at the cruel man and followed Sephia.
"So, that's the room." Sephia opened the door. Suicune looked at a small room with some very small beds in it. "This is more a cell than a room", the Pok�mon said. "Yup. If the five other girls are in here, too, it's terrible." She started to look into her cupboard which looked more like a box. "Here is some bread, two apples and a bottle of orange juice. I don't think that's enough." Sephia started to open the other cupboards, too. "They'll never forgive me, but since I haven't the urge to come back later, it's not my problem. Suicune, please go to the next room. It's a lumber-room. Maybe you'll find something useful." Suicune nodded and ran away.
A few minutes later Sephia packed everything into a bag. She had found some more food, a clock, an electric torch, a few Pok�dollars and a small knife. Suicune came back with a rope and a crowbar. She gave the things to Sephia.
"Why do you have a crowbar in a lumber-room?", she asked. "I have no idea. Maybe if some of the boys locked themselves into the bathroom or something." "I really understand why you hate your life here..." Sephia smiled sad and showed Suicune the things she had found. "This has to be enough. Let's go!", the girl said, but took a pencil out of her cupboard. Sephia wrote something at the wall and went out of the room. Suicune looked at the note.
A new chapter of my life is beginning now. This house belongs into my past and it's just reality now. I'll never come back, but I'm sure you won't miss me.
Sephia
P.S.: Thanks for your belongings!
Suicune smiled and closed the door. "Ready?", she asked. Sephia nodded. "Now let's free your friends." They went down the stairs, stepping over Mr Wilston and climbing out of the window.

Mewtwo woke up when he heard two voices behind the door. He recognised one of them, it was the voice from the man he tried to kill a few hours ago.
"Three of them are weak enough, but Articuno and Mewtwo are protecting them, boss."
"Hm...wait two more days. If they'll be still strong enough, you can shoot them down, but be careful. They have to stay alive. What's with Suicune. How could she break free? And why are the others still there?"
"I...I don't know, boss. But Suicune was too fast, she jumped over the fence before we could get her."
"I KNOW that, idiot! Catch her again!"
"Yes, boss!"
Mewtwo clenched his fist. The boss! The human who did this to him! If there wouldn't be this field of force... He stood up, ready to try one more blast, when he heard another human coming.
"Boss! Boss! Suicune is back! A girl is with her, they dug a tunnel under the fence. What should we do?" A few moments, there was silence. Then, Mewtwo heard the man called 'boss' laughing. "How nice. Suicune comes back to me. Just let them go in. Make a trap here. This'll be very funny!"
Mewtwo gasped and shook Articuno. "Hey, idiot! Get up! Suicune is back and she'll have big trouble!"
