After dropping off the injured at the hospital, Akira was questioned by the local guards; which involved a bunch of pointless questions as Akira wasn't there for the first attack. Though eventually Akira was released from the questioning, though the guards took custody of the prisoner.

Though before they left, they told Akira that he could question the man at the local guardhouse which is currently what he and his comrades are doing.

"You are telling us that Team Rocket had nothing to do with the robbery on Parkers Publishing? Then tell me why you were at the orphanage? Those children did nothing to deserve what happened to them!" Akira growled as he slammed his hand against the table that they were using for their questioning.

Akira could tell that the man didn't want to answer his question which got Akira thinking that maybe he wouldn't. Which was why when the man started to speak Akira had to hide his surprise.

"I am only telling you this because I'm as good as dead either way I look at it. The only thing I know is that there have been mentions of the Prince going around the cells with us being ordered to bring in any male who looked to be around the same age as the Prince would be now." the man informed Akira and his groups of Tamers.

Though this only caused Akira to have even more questions. "If you didn't steal the manuscript then how did you know that the Prince was supposed to be in Pallet Town?" Akira asked in a slightly more polite tone since the man had started to be more cooperative.

"From what I have been able to gather from asking around is that we have an inside man within the mans employ." the captured Team Rocket member divulged.

With that Akira knew that they weren't going to get anymore information from the prisoner and as a group left the interrogation room. Though before they left the guardhouse, Akira decided to speak to the guard that is in charge of keeping the man secure. "When my team and I leave Pallet Town we will be taking the prisoner with us. He has crimes he has to answer for against the Tamer Order." Akira informed the guard and though the guard said no words she did give Akira a nod of acknowledgement.

Once the conversation was done, Akira and his friends left the guardhouse to make their way to their hotel rooms for the night.

Akira had been awake for a few hours now and though he knew he should sleep longer he was unable to from all the thoughts rolling around in his head. Though his mind did wander back towards that feeling he experienced during the battle yesterday he knew that he should focus on his contract for now.

Jumping out of bed, Akira hurried to get ready for the day and was soon coming out of the bathroom already dressed. Clipping his belt on, Akira was now ready to start his day. With everything set he made his way towards the exit of his just in time to hear a knock at the door.

"Who could that be?" Akira wondered to himself as to not disturb his still sleeping companion. As he was already heading towards the door it didn't take him long to reach it. Upon opening the door Akira saw that a two guards were standing in his way of leaving his hotel room. "Can I help you?" Akira questioned as he took notice of them.

Upon hearing Akira's question, one of the guards started to speak. "Mayor Haynes has requested an audience with you." the guard informed Akira.

Akira knew if he refused the audience then the Mayor could make the rest of his stay in Pallet difficult so he did the only thing that he knew to do, which was to agree to the meet. "Alright then. Take me to the Mayor." Akira replied to the two armed guards.

From there, Akira was escorted towards the Mayor's residence to find that over half of the cities guards were patrolling the perimeter of the building. "What could have happened that the Mayor needed so many guards around his home?" Akira questioned to himself.

It didn't take long for the guards to escort Akira to the Mayor's office and upon entering the room, Akira was able to see that Mayor Haynes was distraught.

Upon seeing Akira, the Mayor immediately started to speak. "Good you brought him. You two are dismissed." Mayor Haynes informed the two guards who quickly left after receiving the order. Now with the Akira and the Mayor being the only ones left within the office the man turned towards Akira and began speaking. "From my son I learned that you used to live in Pallet Town, is that true?" Mayor Haynes inquired of the young Tamer.

Akira didn't understand why the Mayor brought him here just to ask him if he spoke the truth about living here. Though he didn't understand it, Akira still responded to the man. "Yes, what I said was true. I grew up within the orphanage that was just attacked by Team Rocket." Akira answered.

When the Mayor heard this, Akira watched as a small smile formed on the older mans face. "I am glad to hear that what you said was the truth and I want to say how sorry I am too hear about the attack that happened on your old home." Mayor Haynes spoke out.

No matter how nice it was to hear the Mayor mention how sorry he was about the attack that happened on the orphanage, Akira was still wanting to know the meaning of this rendezvous and as such decided to question the man.

"Thank you for your kind words but why did you bring me here? I have many things to complete before I can return to my home and no offence these interruptions I keep facing our getting in the way of that." Akira responded and though he tried to come off as polite it didn't sound that way to the Mayor.

Though thankfully for Akira, the Mayor was in need of his help and as such didn't take offence to the rudeness of Akira's words.

"That is exactly the reason I want to see you. I have a job that I want to hire you and your friends to do." Mayor Haynes revealed to the now stunned Akira.
