(Floe Town, Four Island | June 8th | 12:00 p.m.)

The ride to Four Island was uneventful as they arrived at Floe Town where he and Heather went to a local tavern to grab some lunch. Ash had to stay at the Pokémon Center to get patched up.

"So Heather, you never mentioned why you wanted to chase this rumor so bad?" Crimson asked.

"Suzy was a recuse from a poaching operation. A loathsome bunch…and I've always visited Icefall Cave as often I could just to see Lapras in their natural habitat. I debated releasing Suzy to the wild, but I love her too much to let her go…as much as she loves me. I can't stand Pokémon poachers…scum of the Earth alongside the worst of them. You weren't the other one fighting poachers Crimson. Over the course of my journey, I've made efforts to stop small-time poachers." Heather said earnestly as she finished her drink.

"You know Heather, you act like a total queen bee, but you really have a heart of gold. You really should consider becoming a Pokémon Ranger if you care so much." Crimson said gently. "Trust me, Sevii needs all the help it can get, and I'd gladly help you get it."

"You'd do that for me?" Heather asked softly.

"What are friends for?" Crimson said before paying the bill.

"Funny how everyone hates nepotism except when they're benefiting from it."

The three turned to see Lorelei with her arms crossed and a cheeky look on her face. Crimson excitedly greeted her as Heather was starstruck to see her. It was a reminder for her that Crimson now rubbed shoulders with the likes of her.

"I see you're wearing Lance's old cape with pride. You know, he's been out seeking a new design for his cape. He's sending you all the old ones…citing that make of cape is yours and he needs a new look." Lorelei said as Crimson chuckled.

"I'm so down, but what brings you to your hometown?" Crimson asked.

"I came at the call of my parents…they run the Day-Care here. They spotted Team Rocket in the area…apparently the Rockets managed to take down the cops without anyone realizing it. I had to drag them to the Center for treatment, they were poisoned very bad." Lorelei said icily.

"Then there's deal with the remaining trash." Crimson said as the group left the tavern.

They entered Icefall Cave sent out their respective water Pokémon to traverse the waters. Crimson was on Atlas, and both Lorelei and Heather were on their Lapras. There was a foreboding feeling in the air, most of the group could feel it. Lorelei had split off from the two citing it was good to cover more ground. Crimson and Heather traversed now on their own and they would soon hear the cry of a Lapras, and for Crimson it was a cry for help.

Around the corner was a small Lapras restrained and pleading for help with a few goons, Carr, and two rogues of Kim Possible. Crimson recognized two as rogues of Kim Possible, DNAmy (Amy Hall) and Andrea Lynn. Unlike Shego, he knew that he could not let this one leave Kanto alive.

"Excellent work. I can't wait to make cuddle buddies out of the creatures. They're so out there unlike anything the rest of the world." Amy said excitedly.

"Can we hurry this up?" Andrea said concerned. "I don't want to be in this cold as shit cave."

"I'm paying you to protect me, ain't I?" Amy asked. "Besides there's another matter."

She turned to the grunts as Carr approached. Amy revealed her desire, which was she wanted Crimson's Pokémon. The grunts looked mortified, while Crimson and his company looked disgusted.

"Lady, I know you're paying us, but if you think we will help you steal the Champion of Kanto's Pokémon….you are out of your fucking mind." The grunt said bluntly. "Did you see what he did to Shego? I don't think I want to be near him when he's angry."

"Nonsense, he's nothing but a snapping dog." Carr said confidently. "I'm sure if you provide us with the funds, we can plan an assault on his hometown…get you the Pokémon of his whole town…and deal with the rabble."

He was saying while Heather and Crimson were watching seething with rage. He had to put away the shades to prevent his crackling aura from damaging them.

"Well, now I just to cut the horn off. I've been dying to get a Lapras horn for my next creat-"

Ice Beams nearly took off her head as the sources of it revealed themselves.

"So, you want to attack our hometown, do you?" Heather snarled as Crimson took off the shades.

His eyes were flared and had the glow to do this which got the grunts to take a step back. He quietly got off Atlas returned him as Morticia seeped out of her ball. Immediately, she was in his shadow as he gained his overshadowed form.

"Amy Hall, you're a dead woman walking." Crimson said.

"What about us?" The grunts asked.

"I'd start running." Heather said as Suzy got to working to free the trapped Lapras.

The grunts bolted as Carr realized that Amy left the money in the boat leading him to ditch her too. Crimson's fists were clenched with flames flickering from them.

"I don't appreciate that tone, meanie. Andrea, deal with him!" Amy said turning to Andrea.

Only to see Andrea was paralyzed with fear, any bravado she had…fizzled out.

"Andrea, I…"

Amy felt a hand on her shoulder.

[Music Ends]

She was whirled around right into a punch to the gut. Her eyes bulged out as the force of it have her off the ground before she was thrown into the ground.

"Get up." He ordered.

Amy tried to only to cough up blood and her lunch…falling into it. Crimson planted his foot down on her back before he looked down at her.

"Out of the rogues Possible has to deal with, you are the one I wanted to personally remove from this world. As badly as I do want to do it, you're just too pathetic to kill…not enough to make sure you won't be leaving the regions in one piece." Crimson said getting off her body before picking her up. "Phantom Force!"

The two vanished as Heather and Suzy freed the trapped Lapras. Andrea seemed to find her nerve only to get bodied by that wild Lapras' Water Gun before being frozen by Suzy's Ice Beam thanks to Heather.

"And that's that." Heather said as the wild Lapras took off. "You're welcome!"

Heather got on the land wondering where Crimson vanished to only to see Lorelei come with another woman.

"At ease, civilian. I am Linka Pavlovna of the International Police. Where's DNAmy?" Linka asked in her thick accent.

"Crimson got to her." Heather said bluntly.

"Wait…that Crimson?" Linka said remembering what Gi had told her. "Trakhni menya, ya dumayu, ya ne poluchu etot bonus."

Crimson returned with a bloody Amy in his grip, and they all looked in. It was clearly he…mangled this woman. Burn marks, ice burns, electrical burns, and she looked like she was chewed on. Blood was dripping from her body and from Crimson's fists. He turned to see the others.

"Mr. Ryuseigan, I want to take in Ms. Hall alive." Linka requested.

"And who are you to ask?" Crimson asked with concern.

"Linka Pavlovna of the International Po-"

"Oh, you must be a friend of Gi. Well then, here you go." Crimson said throwing Amy at her feet. "Wait, Pavlovna? You related to Sofiya?"

"I have a Tetya named Sofiya, but she's deceased…" Amy said as Crimson's eyes widen.

Crimson immediately got on the phone.

"Hello?"

"Oh, I'm glad…your relative thought you were dead for some reason." Crimson said relived before explained said relative. "Oh…ok."

He handed Linka his phone and told her that she wanted to talk to her. What came was a rather awkward reunion as aunt and niece chatted.

"Oh, well…I guess I'll see you in Seacreast." Linka said before hanging up and giving Crimson his phone back.

"Did you manage to catch the grunts?" Crimson asked.

"Unfortunately, I had to prioritize freeing the captured Pokémon. Several of them got away." Linka said sourly.

"Then there's no time, they know I'm here." Crimson said turning to Heather. "We need to go."

"Go on ahead, I want to help check on the freed Lapras." Heather said before giving Crimson a small smile. "I'll also look after Ash. Finish this fight."

Linka wanted to stop him, but she knew she had to deal with Amy and the frozen Andrea. She could only watch him take off.

"Look on the bright side. No Pokémon was poached, and you bagged a pair of international criminals." Lorelei said humbly.

"One's frozen and the other's crippled." Linka said tiredly. "Plus, all we captured were grunts, and I have a feeling Crimson knows where the remaining leaders are."

Heather asked to be taken to the freed Lapras and they would all ride Suzy to them to see another familiar face.

"Kirsten!" Heather said.

"Holy shit, Heather. What's up, girl?" She said.

Heather barely recognized her in her new clothes looking like a proper detective with long coat and all. Kirsten hugged Heather wanting to catch up on old times.

"Congrats on making junior detective." Heather said.

"Do I even want to ask what happened to those two?" Gi asked pointing at Amy and Andrea.

"I froze Andrea." Heather admitted.

"And Amy?" Gi asked.

"Crimson happened." Linka said exasperated. "He beat this woman…badly."

"Crimson was here?" Gi asked. "Whe-"

"You missed him, just left." Lorelei said adjusting her glasses.

"What a shame…I actually wanted to congratulate him for becoming champion." Gi remarked. "But I'm not surprised he did that…animal abusers are very hated here. I'll call a Medivac."

"Need a hand with the Lapras? I know a few ways to get them calm down." Heather said before pulling out a sealed bag of treats.

(A/N: Yeah, Ash and Heather were not going to last long as Crimson's temporary party. I realized that the set up for this chapter would be perfect to drop off Heather. Plus, Ash still has to process…that he and Pikachu killed a guy. But now, it's time we dealt with the Rockets once and all.)
