DWA: Hey guys, sorry about this but I think I'm going to be doing a once a week chapter thing until further notice. So chapters are to be expected every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

I don't own Pokémon, only my plot and OC's Rina and Blizz belong to GSlayer, Jack belongs to kyled91doc, and Chuck belongs to Pokémon forever.

IcySneasel: Well he technically took Leaf down.

RockytheTyranitar: I may actually consider that…

Pokémon Forever: I'll do my best. And Mike way stronger than Stanley, Lily saw it coming.

Tosun: My job isn't to impress, it's to entertain, to keep you reading. You want to see more, so I've done my job. And Mike was training a lot during his own time.

Ominouseevee: Rina has been training to control her Aura, and for the artifact, no comment.

Mrbean236: Doin' my best!

theAceMT: Well Mike wasn't sitting on his ass the entire time. He was training.

Chapter 53: The Assassin's Order.

-(ooo)- Time: 3:07am, Location: Evergrande PKMN CNTR, POV: Stanley 1st Person.

Whatever dream I was having was gone, vanished, I don't even remember if I was dreaming. For now, I was standing in a familiar looking meadow.

"Hey Stanley." I turned to the voice and saw Taisetsu standing there, hands behind her and with a smile.

"Tai . . . you okay?" I asked. She nodded.

"I'll be fine, I'm much stronger than that little Kirlia I was the last time this happened." She said with a smile as she walked over. I sighed with relief.

"I though you may have come to say good bye." I said chuckling. She shook her head.

"That won't happen for a long time Stanley. I love you too much to die now." She said with a smile as she grabbed my hand and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"You don't take this very seriously." I said frowning.

"Sorry, I just want you to stop worrying. I'm stronger than a human, no offence-"

"None taken." I replied.

"- so a trip to the hospital for what I did isn't a big deal." She finished.

" . . . It's not just that. Mike has a request for us." I said. She tilted her head.

"What do you mean?"

"He wants us to help him break a friend out of an ES base. I'm not sure if I-"

"Go Stanley, but don't leave without me, I'd feel betrayed." She said.

"Wh-what! You expect me to bring you along!?" I shouted to her. She let go of my hands and put hers on her hips.

"Yes I do, if you die I'm going with you, I said I'm with you always!" She said. I sighed.

"I know Tai, but I just want you to be safe." She let her arms fall to her side and brought one up and caressed my check.

"Then protect me on the battlefield, be my gallant knight, blocking the killing blow with that amazing bow of yours. And then you'd receive a gift." She said. I was blushing badly.

"A-and what is that gift?" I asked. She smiled and brought her lips to mine, and I easily returned the kiss. She pulled away.

"That, and a bit more." She said with a wink.

"Let me guess, it's a secret." I said. She nodded. I sighed.

"I expected as much." I said making her giggle. "Fine, I'll bring you along. But be very careful, okay?"

"Of course Stanley, I'll be careful. Op, wakey wakey. See you soon." She said and vanished.

"I don't like the tone of her voice . . ."

-(o)- 8:03am

I woke up on the floor of the center with people looking at me.

"Uhh, odd dream, sorry." Stanley said standing up and going to the counter.

"May I have Taisetsu's room key and the rest of my team?" I asked the Nurse Joy. She nodded and placed the Poke Balls and key on the table. I thanked her and went to Taisetsu's room, and opened the door. Taisetsu was sitting upright and looking out the window into the morning sky, the sunlight making her shine.

"Whoa." I breathed. She turned to me with a smile.

-Good morning sunshine! How are you?- She asked with a smile. I walked up to her and gave her a hug.

"Stop scaring me like that." I said. She giggled and wrapped her arms around me as well.

-I can only do so much Stan. But I'll try.- She said. I nodded and pulled back.

"How do you feel?" I asked. Taisetsu stood out of the bed and stretched.

-Much better than before. I guess I needed a bit of sleep.- She said smiling. I chuckled.

"Right. Come on, we should tell Rina and Blizz our plans." I said. She nodded and I signed her out of the Center, and head for the hotel room, it was our last free day there, so we intended on leaving soon.

-(o)- Hotel room

"So . . . run it by me again." Rina said.

"For the last time, I'm helping Mike with what he wants, and I'm taking Taisetsu with me. I'm leaving my Pokémon in your care until I get back within a day's time. Should I not return, release my team, but keep Allie. She needs someone with her." I said repeating myself. Rina was glaring at me.

"You okay?" I asked.

"WHY ARE YOU NOT TAKING US!?" She screamed at me, shocking me and causing me to fall down.

"Wh-what!?" I asked.

"We want to go too asshole." Blizz replied.

"B-but, girls I can't put you through this." I replied.

"Deal with it. We're coming along, whether you like it or not." Rina said. I stood up.

"I don't want to put you in danger."

"WE DON'T CARE!" The girls screamed at me.

"We want to help you, in any way we can. You were thrust into something you want no part in, and as your companions, we were to." Rina said.

"You can't get rid of us that easily." Blizz said with a wink. I looked at the two and suddenly wrapped them in a hug.

"You two are so stupid-"

"HEY!"

"-but, thanks. A lot." I said pulling back. Rina and Blizz smiled.

"No problem dude. So how do we find Mike?" Rina asked.

-I'll help with that.- A gruff voice said . I looked around and saw a Darkrai rising from the Shadows. It was Mike's Darkrai.

-You have decided to help Mike, correct?- We all nodded. -Good. Come outside and follow me.- Darkrai said and he returned to the shadows. We gathered our gear and checked out of the Hotel and went outside. A man with a frayed black trench coat, and white hair was standing there.

"Please, follow me." He said and began walking. We decided he must be Darkrai as a human and followed him. It took almost an hour to get to a clearing in the forest. There was a table in the middle of the clearing.

"Ahh, so you came, excellent!" Mike's voice said as he came into the clearing. "Sorry for not being here, I was . . . occupied.

"You mean getting frisky with Cass?" Darkrai said.

"EEH!?" Rina exclaimed, and I agree, what the hell!?

"Screw you Darkrai." Mike said as Darkrai chuckled.

"Just saying man." Darkrai said leaning on a tree. Cassidy came into the clearing shortly after with a smile.

"Hello Stanley." She said. Chuck and Ashley came too, in clouds of their elements. I was nervous to be around them all at once.

"So, Rina, what are you capable of?" Mike asked.

"Well, for hurting Taisetsu, this!" She shouted firing an Aura Sphere. Mike caught it and the sphere turned an evil black and blood red.

"Well done." Mike said as the Sphere faded away. "And Blizz?" Mike asked. Blizz reached into the bag and brought out her staff, and extended it.

"Very interesting." Cassidy said. Mike nodded in agreement.

"Can we start this?" Ashley asked. Mike nodded and motioned us over, and we all gathered around the table.

"So, who's doing what?" Chuck said.

"We're breaking up into teams of two, well, one team of four and two of two." Mike said. It was clear who was in each team, they arrived together. "Me and Cassidy will go after files regarding future plans ES has. Chuck, you and Ashley will go to the security room. You'll need this to shut down security." Mike slid over a USB drive to Chuck, who took it and pocketed it.

"And us?" I asked.

"When security is down, you'll free Max. On the way, pick up his Poke Balls. You'll each get a map of the area on your Poke-Systems, whatever they may be." Everyone nodded as they checked their devices, and received the map.

"Our primary objective is getting Max out. He's been in captivity for a year at this point. Ashley, what's your spy say?"

"He says it's the same as ever. Lazy days. Things are picking up though. We should go at night. Sneak around as much as possible." She said. "And save his ass." Mike nodded.

"He'll get out. I promise. We're all good on the plan?" Mike asked. No one had any objection, so he smiled.

"Tonight, we let ES know there are people willing to fight back."

-(ooo)- Time: 10:23pm, Location: Forest outside of ES Hoenn HQ, POV: 3rd Person.

It was a calm night, the stars were shining against the clear sky and a full moon was out. Suddenly, four figures sped across the moon, four Dragons. Mike and company were speeding towards the Hoenn base at high speed, Mike on Skye in front, Cassidy on Garuda flanking his left, Stanley and Taisetsu on Kalos on his right, and Rina and Blizz on Latios behind them, they were in a diamond formation. The base came into view, and old military base, and they landed outside of it, Ashley and chuck appearing as they landed. All the dragons were recalled to their Poke Balls.

"Are we all ready?" Mike asked. Everyone nodded and went their separate ways. The area where Max was being held was on the other side of the complex. So Stanley and company had quite the walk. Ashley and Chuck had a short walk, and Mike and Cass was in the middle, the jobs would go in order.

-(o)- Ashley and Chuck

The two avoided the spotlights and ran up to the security building, two guards protecting the entrance.

"Ready?" Chuck asked looking around the corner. A stream of sand blew past him, his question being answered as it wrapped around one man's neck. Chuck's hand became engulfed in ethereal energy, and the same energy surrounded the other man's neck, suffocating them and in the end, killing them. Their bodies vanished in an ethereal smoke.

"Time to move." Ashley said running ahead and opening the door to the building. Chuck quickly followed. The two swiftly moved down the halls, avoiding each camera until they reached one of the two security control rooms.

Ashley opened the door and walked up behind one of the men.

"Guard team? Hello? Anyone there?" He said as Chuck walked up to the other.

"Not anymore." Ashley said. The man turned in his chair.

"Holy crap!" Ashley stabbed the man in the heart with a knife made of sand. Chuck grabbed the other man's head and killed him with a lethal pulse of ethereal energy.

"Go, I'll stay here, contact me by radio when you're ready to deactivate it. Stupid people designed it like a video game" Ashley said sitting down as tendrils of sand formed around her. Chuck laughed and ran out of the room, still avoiding the cameras.

'Ashley can handle herself, I know I can too.' He thought to himself as he moved around the base. He came to the second room. He quietly opened the door to find one security operator asleep, the other awake.

"Sweet." He whispered. His fist clouded with ethereal energy and he walked up behind the one who was awake and punched him in the back, ethereal energy blasting out the front side of his body

"Huh, wh-what?" The other man said starting to wake up from the sound of the other's death. Chuck created a knife of ethereal energy and stabbed the man in the heart, and shoved him off the chair and got on the radio to the other control room.

"Ash, I'm ready." He said hand on the button.

"Ready. 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . now!" Chuck slammed his hand on the button and the screens went blank. Chucked looked outside the room and none of the cameras were active, security was silently shut down.

Their part was done, time to go.

-(o)- Mike and Cass.

Mike was lucky the buildings where one story or so high, easy to jump on. He was standing over two grunts guarding the entrance to the building. He used his psychic abilities to grab their knives and gave one to Cassidy, who was up there with him.

"Remember Assassin's Creed?" He asked with a smirk. Cassidy nodded. The two jumped and landed on the men, stabbing the knives through their trachea, and slowly killed them as their lungs filled with blood. The bodies teleported and mike entered the building, Cassidy behind him. He looked at the cameras and they weren't on a swivel.

"Makes our job ten times easier." Mike said and began running down the halls, most grunts were asleep, making getting around that much easier. The two turned a corner and nearly ran into someone.

" . . . Danny." Mike said. Danny was just as surprised to see Mike and Cassidy, but got a knife ready. Cassidy readied a fire spell.

"Easy Danny, or you'll be nothing but ash." She said smiling. Danny backed up a bit as Mike ran past.

'Thanks Cass, he can't hurt you, you'll kill him before then.'

Mike ran down the halls until he came upon the sever room. He ran inside and found a central computer, and started looking for any new plans.

"What are you hiding ES?"

-(o)- Stanley and company

Stanley, Taisetsu, Rina and Blizz ran up to the building where Max was being held, the entrance was guarded by two grunts. Stanley called on the Lati Bow and it materialized in his hands. Blizz had the strap for the Staff, and took it off her back, extending it. Stanley readied and arrow, and shot. Taisetsu appeared behind one guy and stabbed him with her psychic rapier while the other guy fell to an arrow to the head.

"Nnn . . ." Rina moaned. She still wasn't exactly okay with all this. Stanley ran down and quietly opened the door, seeing no one, he ran inside, the others following. Stanley turned a corner and bumbed into a grunt.

"Oww, hey wa . . . intruder!?" The man exclaimed and got up to run. Blizz jumped in front of him and shoved the spear end of the staff into the man's gut, pulled out, aimed the other end at his face and blasted him with Aura, the shock ending his life. Blizz extended a paw to Stanley, who took it.

"Thanks Blizz." Stanley said. Blizz nodded and ran down the hall. The rest followed him. They fought some grunts, and came upon the door to the prisoner block.

"HOLD IT!" A voice said, they all looked to the left and Rina glared at the new comer.

"Where do you think you're going?" Snow said.

"You . . . Stanley, I can't kill anyone yet, but I can damn sure kick her ass, go get Max, I'll hold her off." She said. Staley and the others nodded, but Blizz stayed as well, just in case.

"I'll beat your ass techno girl." Rina said and snow smirked.

"Good luck." She said and her helmet assembled on her head. "You'll need it."

Stanley ran down the prison complex, looking for Max's cell. Suddenly a Ninetales jumped in front of him. Stanley readied his bow just in case.

"Wait Ninetales!" A voice said from above. Stanley looked up and saw a man jumped down and look at him.

"Do you know Ashley?" He asked. Stanley nodded but kept his bow ready.

"I'm her inside spy! I know the code to Max's Cell, come with me!" He said, Stanley nodded again and lowered his bow, running after the man and his Fire Type. They got to a cell and he stopped.

"Max!" He called out. From the shadows came a man, who looked rather well for being imprisoned.

"Is it time Brian?" He asked. Brian nodded and put in the code, opening the door.

"Time to go!" He said and ran down the way they came, must be a one exit area.

"Come on Tai!" Stanley said, then alarms started ringing.

"Shit! RUN!" Brian shouted getting out a pistol. they ran out the door and Rina looked to be losing the fight and Blizz was pointing at Snow with her staff.

"Back off." She said, Snow looked ready to fight. Stanley shot an arrow and in midflight the arrow head turned into a white orb, exploding on contact and creating an energy draining mist.

"We gotta run!" Stanley said. Blizz helped Rina up and they all ran down the halls, the sound of heavy footfall catching up. They got out the door and where surrounded.

"No!" Brain shouted.

"Well well well, look who's a little backstabber." A familiar voice said. Out of the half circle of grunts came a buff man with a combat shotgun, James.

"I knew it was right to feel bad about him." Stanley said.

"Brian, I have to congratulate you, you almost pulled this off. Unfortunately, this is where you all die." He said raising his shotgun at Stanley.

Time slowed down as the shotgun went off and the pellets flew at Stanley, Taisetsu didn't have time to do anything, no one did.

Well, no one in the original group.

From a shadow, Darkrai came up and with a shield of shadow, blocking the pellets. He then used Psychic to knock everyone on their backs

[Now Mew!] Darkrai shouted. Mew appeared, did a flip, and they appeared in a clearing they had passed over on the way, the rest where already there.

"Good thing we had a back-up plan, thanks Mew." Mike said

[Of course Mike, happy to help!] Mew said happily and vanished. Stanley fell to his knees and was panting.

[Stanley!] Taisetsu said running to his side.

"I'm okay . . . just . . . calming down." He said.

"He'll be fine, it was a close call for all of us, we had trouble when the alarms went off." Chuck said.

"Max, good to see you alive and well, and you must be Brian." Mike said. The two nodded.

"Max, we'll get you home tomorrow, for now, we need to rest." Stanley was ready for that, he had been training all day, and fell asleep on the spot.
