Chapter II: The Hands of Fate Begin Their Work

"I demand justice!" the voice of Gary Oak echoed in the vast council room. "It has been two months and still nothing has been done to bring this mad man to justice!" Gary Oak had spent two months pleading his case to the Pokemon Council, twelve elected heads that function as government for the people and managers of the pokemon leagues. Council Woman Reminson was the first to speak, "We've told you every time you come here Grand Master Oak, According to Johto law, if a pokemon is killed during battle it is not considered a crime. That's only illegal in Kanto."

Gary grew infuriated, "Well surely something must be done! This madman is free to do as he wishes?" Council Man Pertens spoke this time, "The Pokemon Council agrees that a line must be drawn. We've had our eye on Mr. Enigma for some time now." Council Leader Tensole leaned forward, "Apparently Mr. Enigma had logged and entered confirmation of winning every gym badge from all three leagues before the League Computer System recording him having one victory." Council Woman Illio began to speak, "So we are having one of operatives investigated this Mister Enigma. Are you satisfied now?"

Gary nodded in half content. He had much preferred to see Enigma in prison, but he was in no position to start a fight with the Pokemon Council. He left immediately without saying a word. As he walked out the door a motorcycle pulled up to the stairway leading to the main entrance. The rider watched as Gary storm across the street to his car and drive off. The rider shook their head and then removed their helmet. The long firey red hair tied up in a ponytail bobbed as the young woman made her way in to the building. She walked up to the receptionist, "I'm here on order to speak to the Council." The receptionist and smiled, "Oh yes. Go on in, they're expecting you." The young woman walked through the large double doors into the Council's chambers. Council Leader Tensole was the first to greet her, "Ah, Gym Leader Misty Waterflower, welcome." Misty slugged off her leather coat onto a chair, "You call me up, tell me to turn my gym over to a temp for an disclosed amount of time, and then I see grand wonder-boy running off in a hissy. This better be damn good Peter." Council Leader Peter Tensole smiled, "Have you ever heard of an individual who goes by the name Enigma?" He hands a folder to Misty who looks over it briefly, "Yeah I know this guy. Enigma, also known through out Johto as The True Master or The Real Deal, the guy is supposedly undefeatable. He also has an unofficial cult following with fan clubs across Johto, Kanto and the Orange Islands. Real name unknown, birthdate is unknown, birthplace is unknown, the man is a living mystery hence the name Enigma." Council Man Yerna smiled, "You do your research." Council Woman Illio jumps in, "We need you to infiltrate and observe. Gain his trust and follow him everywhere. Report all suspicious information when relevant to do so as well as a regularly scheduled status reports."

Misty flipped through the dossier, "Sounds simple enough. So where is this guy anyway?" Council Man Reaton took the question, "There is a path leading into the mountains in the town of Blackthorn. Clair, the gym leader there, will direct you."

Misty nodded, "Cool. When do I start?" Peter smiled, "Immediately." Misty gave them a salute and headed out. She mounted her bike and smiled thinking how much fun she was going to have with this. She peeled out in a hurry.

A/N: The story is going smoothly. I'm almost done with chapter 3. Further along I do plan on have different types of chapters like some being Misty's reports to the council, etc. Please R&R
