Ash Ketchum step off a plane in Hoenn.

"Welcome, son." says Evan Hunt, Ash's father.

The two men hug each other, happy to meet for the first time in a couple years.

"So what did you need help with?" says Ash.

"Let me first tell you that this is off the records." says Evan.

"I understand." says Ash.

"Good. I assume you know about the Devon Corporation." says Evan.

"Yeah, the company who build awesome devices to help both humans and Pokémon." says Ash.

"That's them, but I've found clues that paint a much darker picture of the company. You and I are going to find out what goes on beyond the surface at the Devon Corporation." says Evan.

"Okay, how?" says Ash.

"You and I are going undercover as Mat Dukane and Roger Flaerole." says Evan.

"Don't you think we should take this to the International Police?" says Ash.

"I presented all my clues so far to Looker, but he claimed it wasn't enough for him to have them go further with this." says Evan.

"Alright, I'm on, dad." says Ash.

"Thanks, Ash. I knew I could trust you." says Evan.

"No worry. I'm on your side." says Ash.

"I highly appreciate that you trust me and wanna help." says Evan.

"Dad, anytime, anytime." says Ash.

"You're making the old man feel proud, son." says Evan.

"Thanks." says Ash.

2 days later.

Ash and his father walk up to the entrance of the Devon Corporation HQ.

"ID, please, gentlemen." says a security guard in a black tuxedo.

"Sure." says Evan.

Evan and Ash show their fake ID-cards.

"Ah...Mr Flaerole and Mr Dukane." says the security guard. "Welcome."

Ash and Evan enter the building.

They walk up to the CEO's office.

"Gentlemen, my name's Steven Mitch Stone, the CEO of this company." says Steven Stone when Ash and Evan enter his office.

"Hello, sir." says Evan.

"I'm glad to get a pair of new guys working for me. We here at Devon wants a very positive future for everyone. All it takes is a few good men." says Steven.

"Okay." says Ash.

"You'll both be working in division 4." says Steven.

"And what exactly is that?" says Evan.

"The one where we develop the PLC or Pokémon Language Converter, a device that allow full speaking between humans and Pokémon." says Steven.

"I understand." says Evan.

"Good. Mr Fraedo, show our new men here the way." says Steven.

"Yes, sir. Gentlemen, this way." says a Devon agent.

Evan and Ash follow the Devon agent to division 4.

"I am Doctor Cassandra Jambae, welcome to div. 4, guys." says a black female scientist, the head of division 4.

"Thanks." says Evan and Ash.

The Devon agent leave.

"Let's get started." says Doctor Jambae.

"Okay." says Ash.

"This is what will eventually be the first PLC." says Doctor Jambae as she reveal a device that she and her team have been working on.

"Does it function?" says Ash.

"We've not tested it yet." says Doctor Jambae.

"I hope it will be a success." says Evan.

"So do we." says Doctor Jambae.

"Alright." says Evan.

Evan and Ash starts to work along with the rest of division 4.
