Chapter 1 -/- Contract (2 years after prologue)

After two years of hard studying and rough training, Eileen Crimfire from Blackthorn City had become an exceptional addition of the Agency, and now she was going to go off as a full member. Today she would be assigned to a section within the unit Hack and she would be assigned a permanent partner matched by ability and personality. She was exited about this of course. After all, she had been training so long, and had made herself and her pokemon so much stronger, she was just too exited that today was the day she would finally be called an Agent.

She arrived at the same hotel where she had signed the contract, but it was springtime now, winter had passed a little while ago, so it was no longer cold, now it was rather humid. She came to wonder if the little hotel was actually Miss Ackagi's headquarters, but her mind soon came to care for other things. She looked around and saw a rather large number of trainers; they all seemed at least fifteen or fourteen, older than her by at least two years. And if she wasn't mistaken, she had been the only one to graduate that year from her academy, was Hack really that big? She looked around to see all the faces, but eventually gave up and went inside.

The day was long, as the trainers were called one by one, and two's by two's slowly. She got so bored she eventually fell asleep.

Several hours after she went into her own little slumber, a man came and woke her up, shacking her, "Excuse me but are you Eileen Crimfire?" he asked politely.

Eileen stared at him for a moment, then reacted, "yes!" she said, I fell asleep?! She couldn't believe what she had done.

"You are being called in," he said pointing to the stairs.

"Oh, thank you," she thanked as she picked up her things and went up the stairs. So much for a good first impression! She scolded herself. She went over the familiar way from two years ago and eventually reached the same room where she had signed the contract. She slowly opened the door; the room was even darker than she remembered.

"I see you have surpassed my expectations," Mineko's voice said from the desk, "You have already graduated in half the time most recruits do, I'm impressed and glad to say you are not the only one."

Eileen was a little confused with the last part, "not the only one"? What was that supposed to mean? Still she listened.

"As you were told at your academy, today you will become an Agent and start in your missions. You will be assigned to a section within this unit and will work with a partner at all times, understand?" Mineko asked.

"Yes," answered Eileen, sure of herself.

"Very well," Mineko began again, "as I said before you were one of the two people that graduated in half the normal time lapse of training. You will be assigned partnership with the other excelling Agent, Allen Fugissaki," Mineko explained as a more grown up Allen walked out of the shadows next to the door and next to Eileen.

Eileen was startled by his sudden appearance, she turned to see him, she knew she had heard his name before. He had dark hair, and sunglasses covered his eyes. Eileen turned back to Mineko after the small surprise.

"All right," Mineko said, "now for the partnership contract." There was already a piece of paper on top of her desk, both Allen and Eileen walked over, eyeing the contract. It was very short, it read:

Friday May 5
Partnership Contract

The signing of this contract will make those two individuals inter- reliant in this organization. If one violates a tenet, both will be penalized. They will be sent on all undertakings together (there may be exceptions) and will be treated equally at all times. The signers will be together at mainly all times and must cooperate with each other, if one displays excessive dominance skill-wise over the other or one feels inferior to the other it is feasible to invalidate this contract.
Furthermore, only two people may sign this contract. The signing of this contract by more than two people will nullify its authority and someone that is involved in another partnership contract may not sign one with someone else.

To cancel this contract it must be proven that both sides wish to do so or there must be a plausible reason for the nullification. In addition the supervisor of this bond must agree to the ending of this contract.

Both parties taking part in this contract must sign below:
..................................................... .................................................
..................................................... .................................................

They both read the contract over, thought for a moment, and signed. Eileen seemed to think it over harder, since Allen took up the pen and signed several seconds after finishing reading. Then he passed the pen to Eileen, as if urging her to sign it. Eileen took the pen and signed and printed her name on the dotted line and line, then put the pen down. Mineko took the contract and pulled out the one that Eileen and Allen had signed two years ago.

"Now that you two are partners..." she began as she took a folder and placed the contracts in it, "You will assigned to section Omega of unit Hack. They are one of our very best groups, and a small one too, Mineko explained. "They are currently in Celadon City, over in Kanto, they are completing an assignment, you will be sent to Goldenrod City for the moment. There you will go to the radio tower and ask to see Alana Wingg. Once you get to see her, tell her you need ID's and a weapon course, she'll take care of the rest. This whole ID making and weapon choosing you'll go through will take about a day, section Omega will be back here in three days, can you make it back by then?" Mineko inquired, somehow making it sound like a challenge to the pair of new Agents.

"Of course," Allen said, taking his sunglasses off to reveal dark cerulean eyes, and looking at Eileen.

"He's right," she said, noticing he was looking at her, "We'll be here Tuesday morning if not Monday night," she assured.

"Very well, off you go," Mineko said, then concluded, "Agents Crimfire and Fugissaki, dismissed." But as soon as that was said, she looked over to the man standing by the door, "Call Mellisa Rewin in," she ordered.

Eileen and Allen exited the room right before the blonde haired trainer entered the room. They walked down the stairs, Allen went to pick up his stuff while Eileen withdrew her Pidgeot, she knew they'd have to fly to Goldenrod; it took too long by foot. She exited the hotel's lobby out to a sunny spring noon, she sighed before she heard Allen's voice behind her.

"You seem pretty confident," he commented, "so shall we go by air?"

Eileen turned around, "yes, we should make it there by five or six if we leave now," she explained.

"All right," he said as he took a pokeball from his hips, "Charizard, time to come out!" he called as the ball exploded into a large orange dragon- like creature that roared as it came out. It was particularly big for a Charizard.

Eileen stared at the huge creature, but didn't say anything. "Okay, Pidgeot, out you go!" she said as she threw a pokeball in the air and the large bird-like creature came out, long yellow feathers resting on its back, "Pidgeot!" it uttered in a sharp, high note.

They both got on their pokemon and begun flight to Goldenrod City. "So how are your Eevee doing?" he asked once they were both high in the air.

"How did you...? Are you that boy that was here about two years ago?" she asked somehow eagerly.

"Yeah," answered Allen, "I wasn't expecting you to remember though."

"I have a talent for remembering people," she said as she smiled, "so what academy did they send you to?" she asked, attempting to start a conversation.

"I was sent to a training facility in Fuchsia City, but we traveled around a lot," Allen explained.

"I see, I was sent to three different academies altogether," Eileen started before getting interrupted.

"Three?!" Allen seemed rather surprised. "Yes, first I went to the one in Blackthorn City, but they decided that the act that the gym master there knew me didn't appeal to anyone, so they moved me to Cianwood City, but the academy there was too small and didn't get out much, so Miss Ackagi asked them to move me, again, so they sent me to Olivine city, where I spent a year and then got sent back to Violet City today," she explained.

"Well. You've been around," he commented, "What about badges, you got any?" he asked.

"No, I didn't have time to get any," Eileen explained, "you?" she inquired.

"I have eight badges from my home-country, just enough to compete in the Indigo Plateau," he said bragging, both he and Eileen knew very well that he wouldn't have time to compete for as long as he was in the Agency.

The rest of the trip was mostly silent, once in a while different topics would start conversation, but nothing too interesting. Several hours later they finally arrived in Goldenrod City. It was 5:35p.m. When they finally landed in from of the pokemon center, the first thing Eileen did was look at the radio tower. Two more floors had been built, and that's where her sister was working. She stared at the tower for a minute, and then followed her partner in the pokemon center after returning the Pidgeot to its pokeball.

Next morning Eileen woke before Allen. She sighed and decided to get some breakfast. She left a message with the Nurse Joy of the pokemon center to tell Allen she had gone out for breakfast, and left to find a restaurant. It didn't take her long to find a small place. It was full of trainers in their quests to become masters, or just parents with their children. She sat at a table near the entrance so that Allen wouldn't miss her if he came by. A waiter came to her table and gave her a sheet of paper. The menu. She took one look at it and ordered some bacon and eggs, and some orange juice; she could use the proteins and nutrients in that combination after not eating for the past...lots of hours. Her breakfast eventually arrived and she ate with a voracious appetite. She finished, paid, and headed back to the pokemon center. Once she arrived there she found an impatient looking Allen waiting for her.

"Hello," he said in a somehow displeased tone, right before his stomach growled.

Eileen smiled at him, "I found a very good place close by here, and it's cheap too, wanna go?" she asked.

"Sure," he said with a sigh, "Let's go," he walked out the door. She followed him and saw him make a left turn.

"Um, Allen?" she said.

"What is it?" he asked without turning.

"It's the other way," she said pointing right from the poke-center's entrance. Without a word Allen turned around and headed to where Eileen had eaten breakfast. He ordered the same breakfast as her, which disappeared equally fast.
