I would like to sequence genomes from 2 different organisms using Illumina Miseq. one is Staph. aureus of about 2.8Mbp and the other is a virus of about 13Kb. Is it okay to pool this samples after library preparation and run them in one flow cell? What are the pros and cons?

Yes, I will index the samples, but I was wondering if there is any effect of having different sizes of genomes pooled together. Will the larger be 'sequenced more' than the smaller or will they get equal representation in the final output? Is there a cut-off of or guideline of what kinds of genomes you can pool together?
I am new at this so it may seem like a silly question...

The number of reads for each library is dependent on loading not the genome size. Pooling libraries with same fragment length distribution should output reads in proportion to loading. If the library (not genome) sizes are different, then with equal loading more of shorter libraries will be sequenced.
You can pool many types of libraries in one run if the sequencing configuration is similar.
