Ash got back from the mission with bill ( the ranger) with his riolu and pikachu, he entered Crowley's office to tell him he was back, he already talked to Serena on the phone, and the two went off to have lunch together, as ash entered the office he found Crowley talking to Halt with Crowley holding his head over the desk.

" gah I mean really the people don't know when to quit. We're losing men left and right were already undermanned and with the reports that both Direck and Charles are KIA is not great. I mean how am I going to tell joianth?-" Crowley asked as he looked up and did a complete 180 and smiled " AHH ash nice to see you." He said before guests ring to the chair in front of him " please sit"

Ash sat down in front of him looking at him carefully showing no fear. Crowley did the same looking ash over to see if he was ready to take this mission, or if he should assign it to someone else, not that he needed to,

The man pulled out a folder and opened it " here's the report and details of what we know, apparently there's a man it rota who is attacking people specifically young girls around the ages of ten to eleven in dark ally's and violating them, your job is to find him and bring him to justice." Crowley said as he placed the report on the desk,

" umm sir when you say violating them do you mean-?" Ash asked

" yes ash I mean to say he's rapping them, now even if this is your first mission and its in the city you will still be accompanied by a real aura guardian. He's out in the courtyard waiting for you." Crowley said

" thank you sir." Ash bowed once again before leaving.

' I wish the best of luck ash you've faced poachers and criminals before head on but this guy will not hesitate to kill.' He thought

Ash got out to the courtyard dressed in trainer mission cloths no hat, a light blue button up shirt and a dark blue pants with a small aura symbol on one side ( left pocket ) and boots, ash saw a lone figure standing there ash approached, the fuigure turned around and stated " hello my friend I'm Rick aura guardian," he said with a smile

" hello I'm ash, aura guarded in training, first assignment." He said " so what's the plan I assumed you were briefed." He said

" I was yes but the fact of the matter is, everyone knows who your are, so you are going be in charge I want to see how you work on this on your own, I'm only hear for help and if needed I'm hear but this is mostly yours," Rick said

" ok well then let's go to the scene of the crime, i need to see how he did this." Ash said Rick nodded as the two walked out,

In the city the two were overlooking a ally way which was covered in shadows expect for the flashing red and blue lights

" so this is where it happened?" Ash asked " correct this is the third as you can see by the tape she had her arms on the wall and well do I really need to go into detail?" Rick asked

" no" ash said as he crouched down to get a better look this was the entrance side?" He asked " yes" Rick stated " ok so he left the same way as the wall in the back of the ally is there it's to high to climb," can I see the map of the city street view?" Ash asked

Rick pulled out a folded up map and showed it to ash.

" ok so we're here at incident #3" he said pointing to area they were

" so where are the other two?" Ash asked

" here and here." Rick said pointing to a ally across the next block and one near the end of town,

" ok judging by the areas the guy picked out he's going to hit here next, it's the only ally with no lights or a camera for footage of course that's just a guess I could be wrong," ash said

" nice usually it takes us a week for use to get centered in on some guys movements but you did it in a hour." Rick complimented

" careful save the praise until after the guys behind bars, besides we don't know when he will attack." ash said

" wow usually I'm the one telling the new ones that I can see why Crowley likes you." He said

" ok so we need to get down there and get info on the exact time the attack took place from the first scream to the first sirens heard or radio report at station as he will probity be long gone at that point." Ash said

" alright so I'll ask about hearing a scream you look for radio?" Rick asked

" actually you do the radio your an official aura guardian so you can pull more weight that I can't that can get you the info I'm just going around the street to see what people know." Ash said

" alright understood see you soon." Rick said

" good luck remember 82nd street corner café." Ash said

Rick nodded before jumping off the building and sliding down the ladder before hitting the street and taking off.

' I don't get why people go for style.' He thought before he jumped off using his aura to reinforce his legs so he wouldn't break them in the fall. He dusted himself off and left

Later

At the 82nd street café leaning up on a wall hat tipped down was Rick, he was still so still you would either walk by him or think he was sleeping.

Ash walked up to him but didn't stop instead he headed in, Rick right on his tail. At the counter ash gave a sigh saying ' table for two alone' the guy nodded and lead them to a table they sat down and looked at the menus

" so what-" ash started to speak until the waiter came back with a small candle lit and placed it on the table in between the two, before walking away.

Ash sighed and looked at Rick who was equally annoyed " if you don't mind." Ash said

Rick nodded and got up he took the candle and moved it to an empty table, before walking away to use the bathroom.

He came back and sat back down ash sighed and placed the menu down away from him

" so what did you find?" Rick asked " apparently the first attack the scream was heard at 11:30, the second was heard at 11:01 and the last being at, 11:15." Ash said

" ok well then according to them the call of the first attack was at 11:35, and they got there at 11:55 that's twenty minutes same with the second the call was placed at 11:06 and they got there at 11:26, and the last one was put in at 11:16 and they got there at 11:36." Rick said

" but that doesn't make since the first two were in the middle of the city, walking distance from the scene, and the other was half way across the city, each one taking about 20 minutes I don't think so," ash said

" your right now that I think about it, that is weird, I definitely takes more than 20 minutes to reach the city borders and into the wild," Rick said

" also the other thing, why and who in the right mind would send a 10-11 year old girl out at 11:00 at night." Ash thought

" trainers?" Rick asked

" no, there is no center here, that's only at the tournament which is in a tent with portable equipment anyways, and besides there are no Pokémon to catch here, as the forest are a preserve due to the tree.

" your right that is weird almost as if dare I say they were inviting trouble." Rick said

" that's really creepy but I digress the other thing I noticed was in each ally way there was a man hole cover leading to the sewer," ash said

" do you think that's how he escapes with out being spotted?" Rick asked

" most likely, and look the place we spotted out has one right slab in the middle, which will be in the shadows at 11:00 at night." Ash said

" then we have nothing to lose, he'll attack there tonight and we'll catch him." Rick said ash nodded

Later 10:59 pm

On the roof of a building there was a man in aura guardian suit, looking down in an ally on the other building there was a kid with the training uniform on, they waited,

Finally the time turned 11:01 and as expected a little girl no older tan ten was walking around across the street a but to close to the wall.

Using a set of signals ash said ' I'm going down keep an eye in the sky let me know if anything goes wrong.' Rick nodded and ash jumped down and pinned him self next to the wall. As the girl was pulled in she let out a loud scream

Ash jumped in blocking the ally on his end and riolu blocking the other side. Even if the ally way was dark ash could still make out the girl with her hands on the walls and the man right up behind her, ( I think you know what I mean)

" HALT SIR AS AN AURA GUARDIAN IN TRAINING FOR THE PEOPLE YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR STATUTORY RAPE OF THREE YOUNG GIRLS AND THE ATTEMPTED RAPE OF A FOURTH COME QUITLY OR I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE ACTION." Ash said

The man froze stalk still he was actually trying to think of a way out of this,

As the man didn't react ash did the only sensible thing as he thought he was thinking of a way to escape, ash with the ability to manipulate the aura around him put his hand on the wall.

A large pillar shot out of the wall smacking the man in the face sending him flying,

Riolu took the time to charge as the man was dazed and went to restrain him. Ash walked forward to help the ten year old girl speaking in a soothing voice cooing as he rubbed the traumatized girl,

Rick watched above in awe at how ash handled the situation, not in a million years would even Rick have thought to manipulate the walls to his favor ash really was a great user, Rick smiled until he saw from the corner of his eyes a shadow move,

The man tried to struggle out of riolu grasp but riolu held firm. Ash walked forward preparing to knocking him out and bringing him to the station when suddenly

" ASH BEHIND-!" Rick called out from above

( "STOP!") a voice rang out making everyone stop ash looked behind him to see a bulbasar standing there,

At the sight of the Pokémon the man struggled more " NO BULBASAR DONT DO IT, GET OUT OF HERE," he yelled

( "this man is innocent let him go.") the Pokémon said

" NO BULBASAR ITS MY FALUT I SHOULD BE THE ONE TO BLAME IM CANT BE THE TRAINER YOU NEED!" The man yelled as tears flew out of his eyes.

Ash stood frozen as bulbasar explaned the situaction ash did something no one expected

" riolu let him go." Ash ordered the Pokémon obeyed without question and by that time Rick was on the ground,

" ash why did you do that?" Rick asked

" because this bulbasar has a weird heat cycle it's one month off from the rest of its spices this man was only trying to help his Pokémon. Perhaps the wrong way but he was doing it for the Pokémon not his selfish wants." Ash said

" he's still sick thought." Rick said

" beleave me I didn't want to do it but there was no other way." The man said

" I know and I understand that, I will take bulbasar to the Pokémon rangers who will help it don't worry it's in good hands," ash said

" thank you." The man said

" however you still did perform rape on 3 young girls and ATEMPTED to do the same on the fourth therefore you will serve time, but I may be able to get a reduced sentence." Ash said

" with all that has happened I'll take whatever just help bulbasar." The man said ash nodded and went to pick up the Pokémon, " don't worry he'll be in good hands. Rick can you give the man a lift to the station?" Ash asked

" sure ash I'll see you back at the palace." Rick said

" sure thing." Ash said as he left

"Ash after we reach the palace I'm going to ask the queen to allow me to dig deeper into this weird activity." Rick said

" Ok good luck." Ash said as he pikachu and riolu left.
