Chapter Eight. Here's the new chapter and sorry for the long wait, I've been a bit busy. So, did anyone else watch the four episode special of Pokemon Origins? If you're like my and grew up with the old Pokemon then I know you truly appreciated the series, it was great!

The Viridian City Officer's Bar was a local bar where high ranking soldiers within the Military Police could escape from the regular enlisted men, sit back, and relax from all the regulations at the base. Recently though, with the increase in Shadow Pokemon activity the bar would get fewer the twenty visitors a night and the bar wasn't rarely full, but being a military funded business the bar never worried about having to close down. The bar had its usual members drinking away their sorrows as they told stories about their recent missions to the local waitresses who would gasp in awe. In the farthest corner was a single table hidden in a nook like corner that was lit by a single candle, two Military Police soldiers stood guard as a curtain had been drawn so the occupants of the table could talk privately.

"Falkner, you know that's something really big to be assuming," Koga stated in a aggressive whisper as he sat in his seat uncomfortably as his eyes starred at the ever so calm, Falkner. The flying type master and pilot had flown all the way to the Military Police's head quarters in order to speak to Koga and to clear up what had happened the other day, but that wasn't the only thing the two were discussing.

Falkner frowned slightly at Koga's words as he spoke up after a sip from his mug, "You know it's true. So why won't you believe?"

Koga's muscles became tight as he sat back and groaned lowly in agitation, "It's not that I don't believe you."

Falkner's eye brows lifted up in curiosity as he placed his mug back down on the table not even bothering to wet his lip with the liquid inside, "Then what is it?"

There was silence between the two as Koga's eyes scanned the collection of files and paper work that Falkner had went digging through in order to gather proper proof about his assumption. They both knew that all the files proved that Falkner was correct in nearly every way, but at the same time there was so much to loose by following up with the plan that Falkner had created.

"I just don't want to believe you," Koga sighed as he knew Falkner may be right, but the reality was Koga feared something like this would occur especially involving someone with such a high influence.

Falkner grinned in victory.

"But your plan does have some flaws," Koga sighed as the young officer shrugged as it was obvious that he knew the much older and experienced officer would have some things to change within his plan.

"Please share your input," Falkner stated with a grin as he was just happy that Koga was all for the plan.

Koga cleared his throat before speaking, "He is the leader of the Infantry Division so if we were to send anyone with ties with them he'll know about it before we can even issue the orders. Secondly, we can't send any Special Force unit as I'm sure he has someone watching over them as those would be the first people that would be sent to capture him, so I think it'd be best if we sent the people that he'd never expect... The Military Police."

Falkner grinned at the plan as whenever a soldier committed a crime the Military Police would arrest them, but someone as high as a General would never expect a group of basic Military Police members to be sent after them. It was such an obvious idea, but yet their target would never see it coming at all.

"The rest of the plan is fine, naturally we won't be informing the soldiers fully of the situation as that could make things more complicated," Koga stated as he kicked his feet up onto the table and sighed heavily.

"I agree. As far as they're concern they're just arresting a simple soldier gone rouge," Falkner chuckled lowly as he stood up and saluted Koga right before exiting the bar, as he had to get back to his base before sun rise or the Airmen at his base would get suspicious as to why he was absent over night something he wanted to avoid as it could grab... Lance's attention possibly.

"We are coming for you, General." Koga muttered lowly.


"Of course we get the mission that will take us half way across Kanto!" Gary growled annoyingly as it was his first day back to duty and the squad had been given a mission to go arrest an Infantry officer who had gone rouge, the details were within the briefing file that Brock had and everyone would be brought up to speed once they hit the road.

"Orders are orders," Brock growled annoyingly as he shoved his gear into an extra bag as he gave Gary an annoyed glare for saying such a thing when he was a Lance Corporal and should of been acting as a role model for the others within the squad.

Their load out for the mission was a standard wagon pulled by two Tauros who were specially bred by the Military Police Scouts to carry heavy loads for weeks on ends and with the ability to run as nearly as fast as a Ponyta without a heavy load of course. The cart had a white tarp over the top to shield them from bad weather, inside the wagon was a small steel caged used by the Military Police for mobile arrest, along with a stack of wooden crates filled with supplies, and the taking up the remainder of the cart were four cot like beds, two nailed onto the side of the cart's inner wall for sleep. The squad wouldn't be given any Pokemon to ride besides the cart pullers as after the last mission all Ponyta and Rapidash were being given a long rest.

"Scouting Team Six, reporting as ordered," A voice called out as everyone turned to see no other than Paul, Ryker, and a new faced girl who must of been the new replacement for their team. Ash grinned at this sight as he was given a better sense of safety when Koga informed them that they'd allow them to hand pick on Scouting team to aid them in the mission. Brock picked Paul's team from the performance he saw them do in the last mission, but he warned Paul that this mission was not a Scouting mission so that Brock would be under full command, Paul didn't argue with the statement at all.

Brock nodded at Paul who simply nodded back, the two had an understanding that Paul and Ash would be his acting second in commands, and that Ryker would keep a close eye on Melody acting as her mentor and guard, as Brock wasn't looking for any casualties on this mission.

Melody followed closely behind Ryker and Growlithe as she had been ordered to be at his side at all times during the mission, her Pokemon companion was no other then her childhood partner, Chatot. The Pokemon known for mimicking human speech was something that Paul wasn't not looking forward to dealing with, but after discovering that the Pokemon knew how to use Sing he was very interested in using the flying type to his advantage in battle.

"You must be new, I'm May!" May cried out joyfully as she extended her hand out at Melody.

"Oh... I'm, Private. Melody Fleura!" Melody chirped happily as she was slightly embarrassed that she brought up her ran in casual conversation, the habit still fresh in her mind from basic training.

"Names Dawn and I feel sorry for you, Melody!" Dawn said teasing Melody with a playful grin.

"Why is that?" Melody asked curiously as she was still nervous about her first real mission.

Dawn simply shrugged, "You were placed on a team with two super human soldiers like, Paul and Ryker."

Melody sweat dropped as she had heard the rumors about the two and how Paul had the highest kil record on the last mission, while Ryker was not far behind the Corporal with his solo kills. May smiled softly as she patted Melody on the back, "Don't worry you got us girls here to show you the ropes!"

Melody smiled weakly as her nerves were slowly being taken care off by the reassurance that May had given her.

"Lets move out!" Ash called out waving his arms high in the air to grab everyone's attention.

"Lets move out, move out!" Chatot repeated Ash as the young Corporal sighed as he realized that was going to get old really quickly.

It was a short and simple chapter, just a filler chapter to push the story into the next mission.
