Alice looked into the window of the office, and saw two girls being instructed by a man with a ungodly brown and white afro. She called Foretress and used him to smash the glass. She jumped in katana out. "You must be the local head of Cipher." She smirked and slipped into a hispanic accent, "My name is Alice Taki, you killed a friend of mine, perpare to die."
"Woah, babe! Watch where you point that thing." He waved his hands frantically.
"Come on, I told you my name, if we're going to be friends you should tell me yours." Alice smiled.
"I'm the supurb dancer Mirror B!" As an obnoxious dance song blares out of nowhere. "And now we dance!"
He sent out a slew of Ludicioco as she sent out Scizor. Arial ace after arial ace took out each of them until he threw out a Sudowoodo. "I'm so suprised. Metal claw." As the false tree fell, a shard of the metal claw caught a bit of B's hair. "I don't do modern dance. Now run to your boss and tell him not to let you play with Kantoians anymore so your toys don't get broken..." Mirror B ran out as Alice noticed a cage on the desk. "This must belong to Duking..." She picked up the cage and made her way out.
It was dawn by the time she got to the office. She went through the door, placed the caged Plusle on his desk, and gave an accomplished smile. "I believe this is yours?"
"Where did you find him?!"
"I figured that the group that was using your colloseum used the Plusle to blackmail you." She said as she pulled out the standard pipe, "That's why you were so silent when I asked you about him."
"And you're from Kanto?"
"That's right..."
"I need to refer this information to the police, thank you for everything."
Alice made her way to the hotel as Steven was ready to assign the new mission. Metagross looked at her with a positive aire. Then they busted into Taki's room. "Don't you know the legends, Taki? If you leave a casket open too long the person becomes a Ghastly."
"Big brother, we're heading out to Agate to find some more people to help us." Taki was completely inresponsive. "I found a way to bring Petra back..." Taki shot up and ran off. "Agate Village!" She cried out. "Well, it would be bad if he beat me there, so I should get going." Alice sped off leaving Steven and Metagross.
"Metagross, take care of that body." He turned to leave for his own buisness.
"Finally!" Metagross Rumbled. "Now to get my work done! First the body, then to Cancun.."
Agate surely had the feel of a retirement village, Alice smiled as she surveyed the scene. Each person walked with help from a cane, but she knew that it was not only unladylike, but a clear deathwish to poke fun at it. She noticed the house that a kind old man said was where somebody knew about the wish-making Pokemon. She made her way there, and entered the house.
"Ahh, you must be Eagun's prize Skitty... Your coat is looking great!" an old man exclaimed.
Alice sighed and put on her best face. "Thank you, we've been taking good care of it. I'm looking for someone who can tell me about the wishmaker."
"You're a smart Torchic... You mean Jirachi. That Pokemon I just saw in the Celebi forest. However, you need a pure heart to make a wish. Not that you'll have a problem with that."
"Thank you so much, sir. I'll search there." She did a couteous bow and turned to leave.
"Bye Nidoran!" Alice walked of snickering about how he got something right. She ran to the forest to see some Power Ranger throwback corrupting a jester-like Pokemon.
"What do you think you're doing?!" She yelled. "That a Pokemon I need!"
"Well that's too bad, isn't it?" He countered.
"But you're going to be a proper gentleman and give that to me, right?"
"Wrong."
"Then I'll have to take it by force."
"I'll show you. Go, Jirachi!" The creature turned.
"One Pokemon, the winner gets the opponent's Pokemon. Deal?"
"Deal."
"I'll call Shedinja then." The skin flap of a creature just fell like a rock.
"How pathetic." He laughed. "You have no clue about Pokemon, do you? Shadow Rush!" The black attack passed right through it.
"Bad luck. Shadow ball." An equally black ball shot into the foe. The small thing was then shot into a tree.
"Doom Desire!" The jester pulled out all the stops and went into an all out attack. It went into the ghost, and out the back without fazing it.
"Bad luck. Dig." It went underground as the Cipher agent looked around as Jirachi was blindsided. It sell to the ground and was returned.
"What? Either this Pokemon's weak, or you cheated."
A voice from the forest surrounded. "Actually, you were just fighting wrong. You're the weak one. May I?"
"Sure." Alice permitted. A rock came in and nailed Shedinja. The Pokemon fell instantly. "You see, not that hard." The figure walked in to show an old man in a set of robes. "Now you're not going to break your promise to a lady, are you?"
The agent grumbled and handed her the Pokeball. "I'll remember this... You shall pay."
"I'll wait for you." As the brigand ran off, the old man approached Alice. "I guess I should thank you."
"Oh, but we haven't been introduced." The man bowed. "I'm Eagun, and you are..."
"I'm Alice Taki of Vermillion."
"So what would you be doing with Jirachi. World domination?"
"Actually, you know that guy I beat, his group killed a friend of mine, and I need Jirachi to bring her back."
"How nice. I'm sure your brother would be proud."
Alice's eyes widened. "How do you know about my brother?"
"He just came in asking everyone about pulling a miracle. He even asked my grandaughter five times."
"He's... not dealing with her death well..." She turned to the village. "I should find him while there's still a village to return to.
