The machines hummed and rumbled as the scientists pushed and turned knobs on a panel below the massive container that Arceus was in. Arceus floated in the container, not moving at as it was far too weak to do anything. Walking up to the two scientists that were in control of the machines, Dean crossed his arms and looked up at the legendary. Looking back at their superior, Dean nodded to the two, signaling for them to begin. Turning back around, one scientist pressed down on a button, starting up the machines. Suddenly, Arceus screeched back to life as the machine sucked the energy from it's body. It's eyes were wide with pain.

"He's really loud", Shade said as she walked up the stairs, the clinking of her black high heels were inaudible over the screeches of the god-like pokemon above her.

"Who wouldn't be like that if they were having the life practically sucked out of them?" Dean said as he eyed the underside of the container, just watching as bright yellow liquid trickled down into a large tank below.

"So this is what Holguin was having the new prototype Rare Candies made from? Arceus's energy?" Shade said as she looked up at Arceus as it rattled its torturous prison.

"Yeah, he made Kage take it... It's got some insane healing factors, but Kage is kind of... you know", Dean said as he drew circles in the air by his head with his finger.

"Ah... I see", she said softly, her words weren't audible.

"Okay, stop", Dean ordered the scientists.

"Yes sir", they replied in unison as they complied to his orders.

Arceus suddenly went limp. His limps hung down, his head was drooped and his back was hunched. It's breathing was shaky and raspy. Dean turned and walked away, his dress shoes clunked away at the smooth, gray tiles. Shade looked up at the container, her face was filled with sadness towards the pokemon. Slowly raising her hand up to her face, she felt the scar on her face that she had heavily covered with make up.

"I'm sorry...", Shade said with a sigh.

As she turned and her heels clicked away at the floor as she went back down the stairs, Holguin was observing from a distance. As Shade disappeared from sight, Holguin frowned a little and then turned back into the darkness of the hall. Kage slowly stomped his way through the hall, stopping as Holguin placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Kage, keep an eye on her...", Holguin said as he patted Kage's shoulder and then resumed his way down the hall.

A low growl came from Kage's chest. Lifting his head up to look down the opposite end of the hall, the light reflected off of his lifeless face. Kage was now fully clothed in clean clothing. Unconsciously, Kage's hand slipped into his pocket and felt the red shard in his pocket, his body making sure it was still there, still safe. Walking into the darkness of his room, Holguin sat down hard on his chair and swirled around on it, facing the screens before him.

"First we lose a major production facility, our new drug has rendered my best man a mindless ghoul. And just when I find one of my Admins' acting suspicious, an entire weapons production facility is missing...", Holguin said as he clicked on a button, changing to a test stained page.

On the screen wrote: "Dear, Holguin. I am sorry to report that one of our weapons production facilites has gone... missing. The land seems to have been empty for ages. On other news, it seems that our team of Elites have come back empty handed. Your predictions of the Pokemon of Time, Space, and the Distortion world, were all correct, but their presence were absent", Holguin finished reading the report a second time.

'Exactly where did those three pokemon go?' Holguin though to himself as the uppermost right screen showed a live-recording of Shade, just out of his sight. In the screen, Shade was in an elevator, staring down at four shrunken down white, pokeballs in her hand.

~Back at the Base~

Hades sighed as he turned off the trucks engine. Stepping out of the truck, he slammed the door hard. As he stood upright and looked around, he saw soldiers, agents, and maintenance workers going about their tasks around the base. Spotting the others underneath a small area that was shaded by a large piece of green tent like material.

"Yo', thanks for the phone", Hades said as he handed the phone back to Robert.

"No problem. Who did you call?" Robert asked, not checking to see what number he had dialed, though Hades had already deleted it.

"No one, just wanted to be able to call you guys if I got lost", Hades lied as he went over to Susan and stood by her side in front of a table.

"Good, now that you're here as well, we can get stared", Elaine said.

"So what'd I miss?" Hades asked as he crossed his arms, spotting Draco sitting just around the corner of the building they were situated at, staring down at the ground.

"Nothing, but I will start with missions. Firstly, you all did an excellent job with bringing down that base. Our forces who are going up against Drugged pokemon will prove better now that one large production line is removed", Elaine said.

"Though we lost Arceus", Susan pointed out.

"Yes, the knowledge of such a great and powerful pokemon on their side is very surprising and shocking. From Robert's report, we do not have to worry about Arceus for now, but recapturing it from the enemy will be one of the few prorities", Elaine said as she kneeled down and stood back up with several thick vanilla folders in her arms.

"Hey, Rob. Is Draco gonna be okay?" Hades asked as he looked at Draco as he continued to remain motionless where he sat.

"I'm not sure. Hopefully he turns around from all of this, can't blame him after seeing his father for the first time in so long. I'm not sure what happened between to the two, but his father caused him to... break for a moment", Robert said as Elaine placed the stack of folders on the table.

"After your attack, we've received intel on several things. For starters, New Team Rocket seems to be going after and capturing the legionaries. We've managed to figure out that they've got Latios, Arceus, Regi's Ice, Rock, and we are currently protecting several Registeels", Elaine said.

"Which Regice did they capture?" Draco suddenly spoke.

"The one near your home, Snowpoint City", Elaine said as she nudged her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose.

"That's impossible! The Regice we know could match Hades in strength...", Susan said.

"The method of which they used to capture Regice is of no concern to us as of now, but their capture of a Registeel will prove a great danger", Elaine said.

"Even if they do catch one, it will prove pointless for the time being, if they do catch one", Robert said.

"Indeed it will be pointless for them. They require a pendent, a key of sorts, to open whatever it is that they seek. We are in possession of one, they will not find it", Saphia said.

"I see. Then I shall put off this mission for the time being", Elaine said as she motioned for an agent to come over and take the folder away.

"What other intel you've got?" Hades asked.

"We've learned the locations of which New Team Rocket's two of five Admins. Dean, was last seen to the far west of Johto. Shade was last seen to the south of Johto", Elaine said.

"Who are the other Admins?" Robert asked.

"You know of one already, Kage", Elaine said, earning a noticeable flinch and gritting of teeth from Draco, "one is know as a combat expert and his location is currently unknown to us. The last Admin, we do not even know who it is", Elaine said.

"How could you not?" Saphia asked, earning a stare from Elaine.

"Well, we can only get so much information before our scouts are captured... or worse, killed", Elaine said.

"So, missions?" Hades asked, trying to clear up the slight tension between the two women.

"...Missions. As of now, we only require a meeting with the government controlled Team Rocket, Giovanni. It is more of a task. The other missions can wait, or will be completed by our men", Elaine said as she patted the stack of folders.

"Why do you want us to go?" Susan asked.

"Robert, you've had some sort of... contact, with him before, am I not correct?" Elaine asked, pulling her sunglasses off slightly.

"I do", Robert responded.

"And you're somewhat acquainted with him in a ways, no?" Elaine asked.

"I am. I'm taking it that you want us to go to him and want us to go meet with him?" Robert asked.

"That is correct", Elaine said with a nod.

"But what about the weapons factory?" Steven asked.

"That mission has been terminated", Elaine said.

"Huh? Why?" Hades asked, slightly confused and disapointed.

"The facility appears to have... disappeared", Elaine said.

"What? How did that happen?" Hades asked, even more surprised.

"We do not know how, but since it's no longer there and is being under surveillance, I would like you all to proceed with the meeting with Giovanni.

"Understood", Robert said.

"But what do we ask him?" Steven asked.

"I just need a report from him. Ask him what you will, the report we need. All communications from them seem to have been blocked from something, but not from them", Elaine said.

"Okay, guess we're doing that then...", Hades said with a sigh.

Several hours past as the agents went about loading their truck. Though the loading of the truck took only and hour, everyone was taking a slight break and lunch. While as everyone ate, Draco was sitting with his elbows propped on the edge of the table as he lightly poked at the berries on his plate that accompanied his salad. Looking to his side, he saw Scarlet slowly picking at her food with her fork, not eating at the pace she usually eats with. Frowning, he looked up and looked at the others in the empty base cafeteria. Everyone but Sora, and Junior were eating normally, the two of them were the only ones who didn't understand what was going on with Draco. Sighing, he set his fork down. The clink of the metal hitting the plate caught Scarlet's attention, as well as the others.

"I'm going to take a guess and assume that some or all of you are wondering about... my real father...", Draco said, looking at Robert as he said the word, "father".

"I am...", Scarlet said softly.

"As am I", Saphia said.

"Well... do you all want to know the story on why I hate him so much? Pretty sure you all heard me shout out a big clue as to why I do hate him... no...despise him...", Draco said.

"I'm curious about that gem you're supposed to have sticking out from your chest and back...", Steven said, pointing his finger at his chest.

"You'll understand when I tell you guys the story... it's kind of long", Draco said as he folded his hands together.

Sighing, he lowered his hands onto the table. Feeling Scarlet's sudden touch on his shoulder, he looked at her, seeing her nod with a supportive smile. Smiling back at her, he gently placed his hand on top of hers. Facing the others, he sighed as he began his store.

~Flashback~

As the Pidgey's chirped away in the trees, a certain family was away from their group. A Shiny Gallade smiled as his son attacked him with Confusion attacks. Each attack missed, but caused a trees to quake as the attack missed and struck it instead of the Gallade. Grunting, the Ralts continued to attack, all while as his mother watched from a log she sat upon. Exclaiming, the Ralts fell forward tripped on his own natural dress he was born with. His father laughed along with his mother as the Ralts pouted, puffing his cheeks out as he looked up at his father. Letting out an annoyed shout, the Ralts lifted it's tiny arm up and hit the Gallade with a Confusion attack, causing him to stumble backwards.

"Haha! Atta' boy!" Kage said as he rubbed the slight impression his sons attack did to him.

"I win!" Ralts cheered as he laid on his stomach, smiling up at his father.

"Come on, we've got to get you ready for your first battle!" Kage said with a grin.

As Ralts climbed back onto his feet, he smiled up at him. Turning around, the Ralts, Draco, ran towards his mother, only to trip on his dress again and fall on his face. His mother giggled as she reached down and picked up her son, kissing his forehead as he pouted, pretending that he didn't fall. Kage smiled as he looked at the two.

'My boys gotten a heck of a lot stronger. He's strong for a Ralts his age, too. No Ralts could even muster out that much strength at where he's at now... That's my boy...", Kage smiled as a thought to himself as he looked at his son, the Ralts, and his mate, the Gardevior.

The sound of rustling leaves from the bushes behind him caught his attention, though he could already tell who it was. It was the second in command of the group.

"Morning, Chief", the Gallade said with a cocky grin.

"Morning, Chase", Kage said with a slight grin.

"Ready to give up your title to me?" Chase said as his cocky grin turned into a nasty one.

"Not on your life. My son can take down your son, no problem", Kage said.

"I'll have you know that my son evolved not to long ago", Chase said, crossing his arms.

A bead of sweat slid down his face. Their sons were about the same age, yet Chase's son had already evolved. Chase's son couldn't beat Kage's son at all, but who knows how strong Chase's son got with the training those two have been doing and with that evolution.

"Forest! Come over here, son!" Chase shouted over his shoulder.

"Sprout! It's time for your first battle!" Kage shouted over his own.

Looking away from his mother, Sprout, Draco, smiled as he ran towards Kage. Out from the bushes, Chase's son, Forst, stepped out of the bushes proudly in his new form.

"Hi, Forest! You're tall!" Sprout said as he looked up at the Kirlia.

"And you've gotten stronger! Your mind has gotten stronger too!" Forest said to the Ralts.

"Son! Now's not the time for chit-chat. Show him what you've got!" Kage said as he walked towards his mate.

"That's right! Show him that there needs to be a new Chief of our group!" Chase said as he took several steps back towards the bush, giving the two space to fight.

"Come on Sprout! Let's have our first battle together!" Forest said.

"Okay!" Draco said.

As the two began to fight, Kage, his mate, and Chase looked on at their sons as they unleashed their attacks. Though the three adults knew of the wager, the two children did not.

~Time Skip: 15 Minutes~

Forest stood over Draco, panting as he stood slouched over his friend as he too, panted from exhaustion. Chase laughed loudly at his sons' victory. Kage stood by his mate, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth together. Bathing in his sons' victory, he was blind of Kage's flowing anger that his mate was feeling now.

"Guess the title's mine now!" Chase laughed as he walked towards his son.

"Damnit...", Kage hissed through his teeth.

"Sweetheart, it's okay", his mate said, placing her hand on his arm.

Standing in anger, he watched as Chase walked away his his son mounted on his shoulder, walking away with HIS title.

~Time Skip: 10 Minutes~

Shouting in anger, Kage struck a tree, driving his fist through the thickness of the tree. Draco sat on the log, hugging his mothers arm as he watched on in fear. Cursing loudly, Kage pulled his arm out and sliced it to pieces as he used Psycho Cut on the tree. Panting heavily, he turned to his mate and son.

"This is all your fault! I thought I trained you better! You were strong for a Ralts your age! How did you lose?!" Kage shouted as he stormed his way over to his son.

"I-I don't know father!" Draco said in fear.

"Sweety, please. You're scaring him", his mate said as she placed her hand on top of Draco's head.

"I don't care! All I've worked for in the past! All fucking gone!" Kage shouted.

Draco sniffed and sobbed at his failure, at how he upset his father. Looking down at his son, he thrust his hand down and grabbed his son by his neck and lifted him up.

"You! This is all your fault! I'm nothing now!" Kage shouted as he threw his son at a tree.

"Kage! Stop!" His mate shouted as Draco fell to the ground, coughing up blood.

"Shut it women!" Kage said as he slapped her hard across her face.

"You little worm. I'll show you what happens when you ruin me!" Kage said as he stomped over to his son.

"F-father, please! Stop! It hurts!" Draco whimpered and cried as he covered his head with his tiny little arms.

"Shut your trap you worthless piece of garbage!" As he kicked Draco in the face, cracking the little red gem at the front of his head.

Panting angrily, he looked down at the crack. Reaching down, he clenched hard on the red gem and lifted the Ralts up from his sensitive gem.

"You don't deserve to live", Kage hissed as he clenched even harder, earning a scream of pain from his son.

Draco continued to scream in pain as the cracks severed bundles after bundles of nerves. Suddenly, time froze for Draco, his eyes went wide as his mind was dealt a heavy blow. Draco dropped to the ground as bits of the gem showered his tiny body and the grass around him. Still clenching his fist, Kage stomped down on the back of Draco's head, shattering the rear gem on his head. Blood dripped from Kage's hand as he continued to blindly clench his fist on the shards of his sons' gem. Gasping, his mate watched in horror and weeped at what her mate had just done to their son. Draco weeped softly as his mind was now fogged with pain and sorrow. Though his mind wasn't broken yet, it was close to it. Slowly looking up with his eyes, he could see his father walk away.

A scream came from his mother as Kage grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the clearing in the forest they were in, just leaving Draco on the ground. Seeing his father drag away his mother, the feeling of failure, the feeling of abandonment, broke him. His mind wandered out of his control, leaving him alone in the world.

~Flashback End~

Sighing, Draco finished his story. Everyone was looking at Draco, wide eyed. Scarlet was crying, as well as Susan.

"What happened afterwards?" Steven asked softly.

"I don't know how long it was until mom... Susan, found me in the forest... But that's all I remember right now. Susan found me in the forest and took care of me, she was still a Poochyana back then", Draco said as he smiled at Susan.

"So that's how the two of you came to know each other?" Robert asked.

"Yeah... She took care of me. I don't know why she did, but I'm thankful to her... and to you. She kept me alive, and you, Pops, you helped bring me back... with Scarlet", Draco said as he wrapped his arm around her as she continued to cry.

"So that's why you despise him so much?" Steven asked.

"Yeah... and I'm going to make sure he dies for what he did to me... and for what my biological mother went through afterwards...", Draco said as he clenched his fist.

They sat in silence for a short while, until Draco stood up suddenly.

"I'm going to go get some fresh air... saying all of that... made me a little... I don't know how to explain it", he said.

"I'll come with you", Scarlet said as she stood up.

"Okay", Draco said with a smile.

Walking away arm in arm, they left the cafeteria. Everyone sat in silence, save for the sounds of Junior still eating, as he doesn't have much of an understanding for what just went on. Dropping his fork onto his plate, Hades pushed the plate away from himself.

"Well, that messed up my appetite", Hades said.
