Chapter 26: Opposite Paths

COF: Hunter "Looker" Langley/Lucas Diamond

Looker sat down across the table from Maxie, he looked different. His facial hair had grown in the past 3 years and his hair was shorter.

"...Looker," Maxie said, sitting down.

"Hey...it's been a while," Looker said.

"Yeah 3 years to be exact, feels like longer," Maxie chuckled.

"You're in here for a reason, don't act like we are such good friends still," Looker said.

"Trust me I am reminded every single day of what happened," Maxie said, looking sad.

"You remember Tung right," Looker said, pointing to Tung.

"Vaguely," Maxie said, looking at Tung.

"It's kinda odd seeing you like this," Tung said back.

"I deserve it," Maxie said.

"Guards say you haven't caused a single incident since being locked up, knowing you would have a plan to get out of here by now," Looker said, raising his eyebrow.

"What's the point, serving a life sentence will just make me have to go on the run for the rest of my life. There's no reason to fight back especially after what I did, I'm living out the rest of days a peaceful man," Maxie said.

"Yeah this is coming from the guy who nearly destroyed all of Hoenn...our home," Looker said.

"I'm not proud of what I did, I'm even ashamed but I can't change the past...I wish I could," Maxie said.

Maxie's face had nothing but a look of depression on it. He did regret his actions and the harm he caused not only to his region but to the IP and the world.

"You know ever since I saw them take you away...I never understood why you did what you did," Looker said.

"It was a long time ago...I thought I was helping the world, then I realized how much destruction I was causing...those pokemon were so powerful, so...so terrifying," Maxie said.

Looker watched as the person he used to call a friend turned into a monster. He never forgot the day he was told that Maxie was the leader of Team Magma, and when he saw the IP taking him away in cuffs, it was heartbreaking. He wanted to talk more but he couldn't. They were there for a reason.

"Look...I hate saying this but we need help," Looker grunted.

"Why would the IP want my help?" Maxie said.

"It's about someone you had contact with within your days of Team Magma, Roman Winters, ring any bells?" Looker asked.

"Roman...yeah he supplied us with illegal pokemon items," Maxie said.

"Such as?" Looker asked.

"Potions, pokeballs, elixirs, healing items, we used to take them and sell it all for double the price," Maxie said, ashamed.

"Not drugs?" Tung asked.

"No, never drugs, I may have been a bad guy but I never resorted to drugs," Maxie said.

"We believe Roman Winters knows the location of sold explosives to Team Galactic," Tung said.

"We think he may have retreated to somewhere in Hoenn, anything come to mind?" Looker asked.

Maxie just sat there, was he going to help Looker? The IP put him in jail but he deserved it. Thoughts like this clouded his mind, he was conflicted, he was angry but at himself mostly. He wanted nothing more but to rejoin the IP but he knew it wasn't going to happen. On the other hand, they put him away and while he deserved it, it still made him a bit bitter. He stayed quiet in the end.

"I don't think he's talking Look," Tung said.

"It was a long shot, I knew someone like you would never do anything good again," Looker said, getting up.

Tung and Looker were about to leave when all of a sudden.

"Map," Maxie said.

Looker and Tung turned back around.

"What?" Looker asked.

"I need a map of Hoenn, get me one," Maxie said.

Maxie knew that he was never getting out of prison but he could at least do one more good deed. He knew it would never make up for what he did but at the end of the day, he took the oath to protect and serve and still held it close to his heart.

Looker gave a small grin and walked out with Tung.

"Is he really helping us?" Tung said.

"I don't know but let's find out," Looker said.

Twinleaf Town, Sinnoh

Lucas Diamond/Barry Platinum

"God damn it," Barry shouted at the video game.

"Dude you just suck," Lucas laughed.

"Hey, it's been a while since I've played alright," Barry said.

Lucas had been home for almost a week now, most of his injuries had healed but he was still in pain with his broken rib. He couldn't wait to get out of bed and get back out there.

"Man when I get better those Team Galactic assholes are gonna pay," Lucas said.

"Just don't die again man...seriously," Barry said.

"Barry I know you aren't super keen on going after these guys," Lucas said.

"It's not that Lucas, trust me I hate Team Galactic just as much as you, and freeing Eterna City was amazing but...I just don't want us to get in too deep with them you know," Barry said, leaning back.

"I think I'm already in too deep," Lucas said.

"I think you are too, first Floaroma Town, then Eterna City, then breaking in and escaping captivity from them dude they hate you," Barry said.

"They aren't big fans of you either," Lucas said.

"I know that but they seem to really be more focused on you than me, they only tried to get after me after they captured you," Barry pointed out.

"What happened to the overly eccentric guy who was willing to dive right into things," Lucas smirked.

Barry grinned and got up.

"He's still here you dope, look man where you go I'm coming with ya but I just want us to be more careful from now on, no more rushing after these guys they got their eyes on us now. When we first started our journey I had the same mindset, running headfirst into things without imagining the results but you taught me to plan things out more, I guess you rubbed off on me," Barry said.

He was right, Lucas noticed that Barry had changed a bit since they started their journey. He was still the same unpredictable, cocky, overly hyper guy, but he was more methodical now especially with battling.

"And what about you, you used to be this quiet guy who never wanted to stand out now you're going headfirst into things," Barry grinned.

"And I guess you rubbed off on me," Lucas smiled.

"Look man for the first time, someone taking it to Team Galactic, normal everyday people see us and they feel happy and safe. These people need a hero," Lucas said.

"Yeah, I know...," Barry said.

"You wanna be more than just your dad's shadow and build your own legacy, then show these people OUR people that Team Galactic can't just walk on everyone, don't just stand there and do nothing when you see something," Lucas said.

Barry sat down long on Lucas' bed, sure he loved to help people and have the center of attention on him but it begged the question that gnawed at him ever since he freed Eterna City. Did Barry want to be a hero?

Federal Prison, Hoenn

Agent Hunter "Looker" Langley

"Here's your map," Looker said, putting the map in front of Maxie.

"We need any place Team Magma might have had to hide something or someone," Tung said.

"We didn't have many places but we had a couple of places," Maxie said.

Fortree City, Hoenn

Day 5: 9:30 pm

In Fortree City, there's a secret lever on top of the highest tree that opens a passage to a bunker.

"You see it?" Looker shouted.

"Got it," Tung said, hitting the lever.

"Everybody please stand back, police business," Looker told the crowd surrounding the agents.

The passage opened and a task force quickly went down the stairs. The task force busted open the door to the bunker to find that it was abandoned.

"Great it's empty," Looker said.

"Yeah but looks like a lot of old Team Magma shit down here, get a team down here," Tung told the task force.

Looker looked down at what seemed to be a list and crossed off Fortree City.


"In Mauville City, we took advantage of the technology and built another bunker underneath the gym," Maxie said.

"The gym leader never found out about it?!" Looker said.

"He's not very smart," Maxie said.


Mauville City, Hoenn

Day 6: 10:30 am

The power box to the gym has a secret hidden switch triggered by flipping other switches in the correct order.

The task forced busted into the gym to the surprise of Watson. The people lined up at the gym were shocked as well.

"Everyone, sorry to bother but we need everyone to leave this gym immediately and to not return until further notice," Tung said.

"What's going on here?" Watson asked, confused and a little frightened.

"Leader Watson, we apologize but you are going to have to leave this gym immediately, it's a police matter," Looker said.

"I am the leader of this gym and you can't tell me to leave!" Watson shouted.

Looker, already frustrated, lost his cool.

"Look here you stubborn old man you see this badge I have it means I have the right to shut any building down in a police investigation and right now what you're doing could be considered obstruction of justice that would result in you being arrested and your place here as gym leader to be removed," Looker said.

"...I'll get out of your way then," Watson said, nervously laughing.

Tung watched as Watson left the building and ran up to Looker.

"Yo, you okay?" Tung asked.

"Yeah, why?" Looker asked.

"You never lose your cool," Tung said.

"Sorry just, my chest and head hurts and I gotta go back to UC soon it's just rough," Looker said.

"You can go, man, we got this," Tung said.

"No...no I wanna find this SOB," Looker said, going to the power box.

"What was the code again?" Tung said.

Turn all the switches off and turn them on in this order. The bathrooms, main room, backroom, and office.

Looker inputted the order and a hatch at the back of the gym opened. The task force climbed down to see another bunker but unfortunately looked like it hadn't been used a long time.

"Another dead end," Looker said.

"Other teams raided the smaller ones and he isn't there," Tung said.

"We're running out of time Ches," Looker said.

"I know are you sure that's all the places Maxie said?" Tung asked.

"Yeah we need to get back there," Looker said.

Federal Prison, Hoenn

Day 6: 12:00 pm

"I'm telling you that's all I remember," Maxie said.

"What are you hiding Lanes huh, you want a deal or something?" Looker asked.

"Hunter, you know me I don't lie," Maxie said.

"Oh yeah like when you said you were one of us right," Looker said.

"I didn't lie to you guys I don't remember any other places," Maxie said.

"Well do you have a personal bunker, something only you would know about?" Tung asked.

"..there's one place but there is no way he would be there," Maxie said.

"Where is it!" Tung shouted.

"At Team Magma's HQ there was a personal bunker of mine that was never used, hell it wasn't even finished being constructed, there is no way Winters found out about it...unless," Maxie said.

"Unless what?" Looker asked.

"Roman used supply shipments to an underground storage facility near where the bunker was being constructed," Maxie said.

"So how did he find out about your bunker?" Looker asked.

"He probably bribed someone to tell him but honest to god that is the last place I know if he isn't there then I don't know," Maxie said.

"Alright get the team ready," Looker told Tung.

"Wait," Maxie said.

"What?" Looker asked.

"The bunker entrance has facial scan...," Maxie said.

"...no way," Looker said.

"It's the only way you want to catch him you're gonna need me," Maxie said.

"...one second," Looker said, stepping out with Tung.

"No way man, Lt won't approve it," Tung said.

"If it is facial recognition I picture won't work it needs to be the real face. Hoenn's tech is pretty good," Looker said.

"You can ask," Tung said.

Looker hesitantly called Lt. Murphy, he didn't want to bring Maxie along at this point they were desperate.

10 minutes later

"For the last time Langley, no way," Murphy said on the phone.

"Sir I don't wanna do this either but I don't think we have a choice," Looker said.

"Langley you understand Maxie more than anyone and you understand more than anyone why he is in his own cell away from people," Murphy said.

"I get it I do but this might be our last chance to catch Winters, I will personally handle Maxie," Looker said.

"...he's your problem and I swear to god Looker if one thing happens you can kiss your badge goodbye," Murphy said.

"..understo-," Looker was saying but cut off by the sound of the phone hanging up.

Looker walked over to the guards.

"The IP is borrowing this prisoner, cuff him and have him escorted outside," Looker told the guards.

Looker and Tung had an escort truck outside waiting, Tung had no personal connection to this but even he realized that this idea was sketchy. Looker was conflicted, he wanted to believe that the Maxie he knew was still in there but had no idea what was gonna happen. The guards walked out with Maxie, he looked confused after all it had been a long time since he had been outside the prison yard.

"Kinda poetic huh," Maxie said.

"Just get in the truck and Maxie my badge is on the line now do anything out of sorts and I swear to god," Looker said.

"...I know what's it like to have the badge taken away...you have my word this isn't a trick," Maxie said.

"Yeah how good is your word nowadays," Tung said, helping Maxie in the truck.

Looker gave Maxie a cap to wear.

"Better for all of us if no one recognizes you, once we get inside you will take us to the bunker," Looker said.

Maxie nodded and leaned back offering no resistance.

Mt. Chimney, Hoenn

Day 6: 4:30 pm

The task force made its way through the abandoned Team Magma HQ. The IP taped it off and it hasn't been used for years. Hoenn was planning to make it a museum of some sort to remember the history of Team Magma as a reminder. The task force was split into two, Looker took Maxie and part of the squad through the front and Tung took the rest through the back. Maxie walked through the building with a bitter-sweet feeling.

"Damn...never seen it like this," Maxie said.

"Been like this for a while," Looker said.

Looker had his hands on his gun at all times not only for Roman's men but for Maxie as well, he wasn't ready to take any chances with him.

"...Look," Maxie said.

"Shut up," Looker said.

"Hunter," Maxie said.

"WHAT!" Looker shouted.

"Safety's on dipshit," Maxie said, pointing to Looker's gun.

Looker looked at his gun and turned the safety off, he nodded at Maxie as a thank you and sorry for snapping.

The group made their way through the mountain, it was hard to navigate through it without Maxie's help, luckily Maxie was also one of the best navigators the IP had ever seen.

"Looker, this is Tung, I took the south squad through the back, we're moving towards you now with no sign of Winters or any other targets," Tung said over the radio.

"Rog, moving now," Looker said.

"You forgot to end the communication, you know saying Looker out," Maxie said.

"Really man," Looker said.

"Basics Look you know that," Maxie grinned.

Sometimes Looker forgot that before Maxie was a terrorist he was an agent and still knew the procedures and lingo. It's what made him so hard to catch years ago, he knew what the IP would do.

The two teams met up and after confirming the area was secure they talked.

"Okay, where is the bunker?" Looker asked.

"My office, if you would," Maxie said, lifting his handcuffs.

"...do it," Looker told the guard.

Maxie was released of his cuffs and led the group to his office, he inputted the code and stacked it up at the door as he used to.

"Nice call," Looker said, stacking up on the other side.

"Thanks," Maxie said, kicking open the door and letting Looker go in.

Looker made his way in and confirmed the room was clear, Maxie came in and moved his desk to see a latch.

"How did Roman get in if it's facially activated?" Looker asked.

"There was a master key, he must have gotten it somehow," Maxie said.

"You could have just told us where that was," Looker said.

"Yeah but then I would miss out on all the fun," Maxie grinned.

Tung looked at Looker and rolled his eyes. Finally, Maxie scanned his face, and the latch opened the group slid down the ladder, they made their way through the unseen bunker.

"Holy shit," Tung said.

The bunker was almost like a second floor to the Team Magma Hideout. It was big and bright, the walls were made with soundproof material so you couldn't hear anything. Looker felt small just being inside of it. The floor was spotless and this wasn't even the finished product of the bunker. You could hear a pin drop because of how quiet it was but if a gunfight broke out here no one would hear a sound upstairs. It was the perfect hideout for Team Magma. Contrasting to the rather dirty and ashy mountain of Mt. Chimney this bunker felt more like a futuristic set.

As the group kept going they noticed that it was too quiet. Right as the group noticed how quiet it was, gunshots broke out. It was Roman's men. They shot at the force as they took cover. This time they were prepared after last time. They sent out flashbangs and returned fire.

"We can take a shortcut over there," Maxie said, pointing to a hallway.

Tung and Looker escorted Maxie to the hallway and helped him through the area.

"Can't I get a gun?" Maxie asked.

"Yeah not happening," Looker said.

Maxie and the two agents made their way through the hallway only to be met with a flashbang. At this point, the cap covering Maxie's face was gone. Tung and Looker were blinded but Maxie turned away as soon as he saw it. Two grunts came out and started beating up Tung and Looker. Maxie tried to reach for a gun but was stopped by a grunt. The grunt was about to start beating him too when another called out to him.

"Hold it, that's Maxie from Team Magma," One of the grunts said.

"Holy shit you're right, please come with us, we'll get you to safety," A grunt said, grabbing Maxie's hand.

Maxie went along with it and went with the grunts as they brought him to Roman, who was watching the firefight from cameras.

"Well well if it isn't Maxie Lanes," Roman grinned.

"Hey Roman, it's been a while," Maxie said, smiling.

This is bad but I don't have a way out.

"They actually thought you would help them, nice job leading them here though," Roman smiled.

"Typical agents can't see the bigger picture," Maxie said.

Back in the hallway, Looker made his way to his feet. At this point, he already had a chest and head injury, and getting beat up more made him very hurt.

"Fuck I need a raise," Looker grunted, helping Tung up.

"They took Maxie," Tung grunted.

"We gotta get after them, they took our guns," Looker grunted.

"Still got my fists, one of them is going up Winter's ass," Tung said.

"That sounds...odd," Looker laughed.

"Shut up you know what I mean," Tung said.

The two agents made their way through the hall, listening to the gunfire between the rest of the task force and Roman's men. They found their way to the room where Roman was with Maxie. They had no plan and no guns, it was going to be difficult.

"How's prison treating you, sir," Roman said.

"It's...rough," Maxie said, sitting down.

"Well your days there are over," Roman said, pouring two glasses of wine.

"I appreciate it," Maxie said, taking the glass.

"Soon you will be back to where you belong, with me, and will become rich and powerful again," Roman said.

"I heard you sold some bombs to Sinnoh with Team Galactic, nice move," Maxie said.

"Not often I got a compliment from ya so thanks," Roman said.

"Where did you store them?" Maxie said.

Looker and Tung looked at each other and listened in.

"We put them on a truck heading to the lakes, they got a whole plan for that, I dropped them off at Pastoria Town, they have a front there," Roman said, sipping the wine.

Looker took out his phone and typed Pastoria Town in a notebook. Tung watched as Roman kept talking.

"I've been making deals with Cyrus and Simon, two very different business people, once we finish up here I'll take you to Simon in Kanto," Roman said.

Maxie nodded and got up from the chair to walk around while he thought of a plan. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Looker and Tung and looked back at Roman. It had been a while since he had one of these but he felt a plan coming in.

"Maxie, I have to say you seem jumpier than normal, is something wrong?" Roman asked.

"...yeah there are two agents outside the door listening in," Maxie said, pointing to Looker and Tung.

"That son of a bitch," Tung said.

Grunts went out and forced the two in at gunpoint, Roman laughed and put his arm around Maxie.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Tung shouted at Maxie.

"Shut up," Maxie said.

"We helped you," Looker said.

"And why would I help someone like you, someone who abandoned me in my time of need," Maxie said.

"Nice call Maxie," Roman said.

"Can we kill them now and move on," Maxie said.

"Of course, my gun is the drawer I'll let you pick," Roman laughed.

"You little piece of shit I knew you couldn't change, you're the same bastard they took down," Looker cursed.

"Yeah and what's new after all what did we learn in the academy Looker, never negotiate with a terrorist," Maxie said, pulling the gun out of the drawer.

Maxie made his way to Looker and put the gun to his head.

"Once I'm done with you two I'll hunt down Aaron and Oscar and finish what I started," Maxie said.

"I thought you regretted what you did?" Tung said.

"Please that was a lie to gain a little trust and it worked, Looker you know me...I always have a plan," Maxie smiled, cocking the gun back.

"Go to hell," Looker said.

"I'll see you there," Maxie smirked.

The two grunts laughed and had guns pointed at Tung and Looker. Maxie quickly wiped the grin off his face and quickly smacked Roman with the butt of the gun. He then grabbed him and put the gun to his head.

"GUNS DOWN NOW!" Maxie shouted at the grunts.

The grunts both in disbelief put the guns down. Maxie nodded at Tung and Looker who got up and subdued the grunts.

"What the fuck Maxie?" Roman said, struggling.

"Told you I always had a plan," Maxie said, letting him but keeping the gun on him.

Looker and Tung looked at Maxie with disbelief, this was all part of his plan. To let Roman think he was on his side and he didn't even disclose to Looker and Tung because he needed their reactions to be real. Tung wasted no time and subdued Roman.

"Cuffs," Tung shouted.

Looker tossed the cuffs to Tung and watched as he arrested Roman Winters, they got him.

"You son of a bitch," Looker said, looking up at Maxie.

"Deception Looker we also learned that in the academy, study up," Maxie said, handing the gun to Looker.

The gunfight had soon stopped as the task force finished it off by subduing the grunts and controlling the scene. Roman was brought out and escorted away back to Sinnoh.

"We got him," Tung said, going up to Looker.

"Yeah...," Looker said.

"Hate to say it but because of Maxie too," Tung said.

"I know, fucker still knows how to surprise me," Looker said.

"Let's back to base," Tung said, slapping his shoulder.

Looker looked back to see agents taking Maxie away, he offered no resistance and walked with them. Maxie saw Looker and just gave him a small smile before getting into the truck.

Looker took a deep breath and sighed. He felt a huge weight off his shoulders. Roman Winters was captured and he knew where the bombs were taken, mission accomplished.

International Police Sinnoh Counter-Terrorism HQ, Jubilife City

Day 6: 10:00pm

"You got everything?" Looker asked.

"Yeah that's it all my shit, I leave in the morning," Tung said.

"Hey um..thank you," Looker said.

"For what friend?" Tung asked.

"Being a good partner even if it was for a week," Looker said.

"You too, we'll probably see each other again, thanks for Roman you really helped us out," Tung said.

"Take care Chester," Looker said, extending a hand.

"You too Hunter, oh and I saw Gustavo was put on the registry after all," Tung said, shaking his hand.

"Yeah I may have pulled some strings, that guy is spending the next 15 years in prison and is on the registry forever," Looker said.

"Now that's justice," Tung laughed, getting ready to leave.

"Hold it," Murphy said, approaching the two.

"Yes sir?" Looker asked.

"You two did great out there, Agent Tung on behalf of the Sinnoh IP, thank you," Murphy said with a smile.

"Honor was all mine sir," Tung said.

"I hope we meet again," Murphy said.

Tung smiled and started to walk off not before taking one more look at the CT building, this trip really opened his eyes to the other divisions of the IP. With this, he gained more respect for the Counter-Terrorism Division.

"Looker my office," Murphy said.

Looker went with Murphy to his office, assuming that he was going to be chewed out for allowing Maxie to help them.

"Yes sir," Looker said.

"Maxie is back in jail and Roman is on a one-way ticket back to Kanto, you really did a nice job out there agent," Murphy said.

"Thank you, sir," Looker said.

"One more thing, congratulations," Murphy said, shaking Looker's hand.

"On what sir?" Looker said.

"The promotion, Agent 1st Grade," Murphy smiled.

Looker felt that amazing feeling, being promoted to 1st Grade was something he wanted for so long now and now it was a reality.

"Sir, I don't know what to say," Looker said.

"Don't say anything, be proud you earned it," Murphy said.

"Appreciate it, sir," Looker said.

"How did you like working with Tung?" Murphy asked.

"...he was good, Kanto cats got their own style of working, reminds me of when I was there," Looker said.

"Good see I told you, now go home and take tomorrow off," Murphy said.

"Sir I don't need a day off," Looker said.

"That's an order," Murphy said.

Looker sighed, he could use the day to rest his body and get prepared to go back to Team Galactic. He grabbed his coat and made his way back home. A job well done.

Federal Prison, Hoenn

Day 7: 1:00 pm

The lights came on in Maxie's cell to his shock.

"Hey turn them off it's too bright in here," Maxie said.

"I asked them to turn it on," Looker said, walking in.

"Oh...hey," Maxie said.

"Mind if I sit down?" Looker asked.

"Pick a spot," Maxie laughed.

Looker sat down and finally relaxed, he had a day off and he was going to spend it talking to someone he used to call a friend.

"You really helped us out," Looker said.

"You helped me too, first time in years I saw something other than prison bars," Maxie said.

"Yeah...look man it's still sad to see you here," Looker said.

"I deserve it, I did something horrible and I'm taking my punishment," Maxie said.

"Yeah...why did you do it, man?" Looker asked.

"I thought I was helping the world...I never wanted to hurt people, they tricked me into thinking what we were doing was good and it infected me until I saw the light," Maxie said.

"You mean when Brendan beat your ass," Looker laughed.

"Yeah...I saw Brendan and his whole attitude and it...it reminded me of who I used to be," Maxie said.

"I'm not asking for another chance because I don't deserve it but if I got another chance man, I would do anything to make it up to the world," Maxie said.

Looker nodded, he didn't agree with what Maxie did and hell even despised it but he could at least see that Maxie still had that part of him that he knew so long ago. They just took Opposite Paths.
