Chapter 29: Split Apart P5 Pokemon Hunter J
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or Avatar the Last Air Bender, or Hades whom is Disney's version of him. I do own Kasumi along with most of her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem female characters and the four Titan Cards.
I was with Aang, Ash, Brock, Dawn, Ash's Pikachu, Takara and the baby snow white Vulpix in a forest. I kept a close eye around my surroundings, no way was I about to let my guard down when it came to bugs. A forest could be crawling with bugs and they weren't the normal sized bugs...The bugs were gigantic, my encounter with a swarm of Beedrill really set a nerve in me. Plus this world I was in along with my friends Aang, Hanabi, Haku, and Toph with the last three heading on to catch Pokemon Hunter J offguard was filled with more terrifying bugs then those Beedrill. I kept eagerly looking back and forward with Takara at my side, ready to pounce for me if I was to scream of fright. I didn't know much about Pokemon but from what Brock had told me before coming into this forest was certain types are better against others and that my Takara was extremely good against Bug Types so with her I was protected from Bug Types. Right now Aang was approaching a twin headed bird Pokemon which was called Dodou.
"Hey their little guy" Aang told it.
The twin headed bird turned to Aang almost as if sensing Aang's gentle nature.
"He needs a Pokemon to battle it" Ash told me "Plus he has no Pokeball."
I gave out a sigh "Do you really need to cage your friends?"
"Cage them?" Dawn asked.
I nodded "There's more than one way to earn someone's trust. I mean I have no Pokeball for Takara and look how good she is."
Brock noticed it right away turning to my pet Vulpix "While you brought it up, Takara does seem to be more like a pet to you."
I smiled at Brock "That's correct. I own Takara like any pet owner, but I've never caged her. Not even at night where she'll sleep right next to me or on top of my chest in a cute little ball formation."
Ash looked confused at the allegation I brought up "Well you are the first proof then that you don't have a Pokeball to put Takara into."
"And I'll never!" I told him "Even if I happen to find a Fire Stone one day to evolve Takara, I wouldn't put her in a Pokeball. Pokemon are living beings! Even caught ones. You said Ash you and Pikachu are friends right."
"That's right" Ash told me.
"Pika pi!" Pikachu agreed with him.
I looked at mostly Ash "You said you've also caught other Pokemon and are carrying them with you and that they are your friends too right?"
"Correct"
"Where I come from, my father Yusei Fudo is a strong believer in bonds! Friendship is you will call it. Not even he would approve the usage of Pokeballs because one doesn't imprison their friends in cages."
"Aren't you over thinking it?"
"I AM NOT OVER THINKING IT!" I said snapping as Takara looked like she was going to unleash her Flamethrower at Ash for the insult "Stand Down Takara."
Takara obeyed looking at Ash as if to warn him insult me like that again and she may burn him.
Aang actually agreed with me "Ash, Lady Kasumi isn't over thinking it. It's a simple but a good thing she brings up, you wouldn't want to be put in a cage then allowed out only to battle other trainers would you."
"No" Ash admitted.
"There is a reason why your Pikachu dislikes Pokeballs" I told him.
"Same like my Piplup!" Dawn agreed as she had with her a tiny blue penguin.
"Exactly" I told the two trainers "Call it that I maybe thinking into the minds of a Pokemon but I would NEVER put my friends into cages. That's humanly wrong...Although Orochimaru would do it without question showing how far he's willing to go to accomplish his dream of destroying Konoha. Heck Kiba a fellow Ninja from Konoha, his whole clan trains dogs to fight alongside them and I'VE never seen them use cages on their dogs."
"Not even leashes?" Brock asked.
I nodded "Not even leashes, but the dogs don't stray far from their human owners."
I looked at Ash, Brock and Dawn "Maybe there is a reason why Pokeballs exist but to me I see them as evil...Like making slaves out of the captured creatures. It's not something I like seeing or feeling. Since when do friends put each other into slavery?"
"Good question" Aang admitted "Because most friends won't."
Everyone of the trainers were quiet as if my words were starting to make them see the error of their ways. Perhaps it was legal here to put your friends into cages only bringing them out when you needed them too. However I knew deep down in my heart my father Yusei certainly wouldn't approve and if he'd have his way he'd find a way to change that matter. After all my father did help to unite what was known as Satelight to Neo Domino City.
Aang was quiet approaching the Dodou "Easy there. I don't want to hurt you, after all we already got one baby Vulpix recovering."
"That's true" I said holding the baby Vulpix.
The twin headed bird seemed to walk over to Aang and even towards me. I watched it carefully, sure this thing was a Wild Dodou so Takara needed to be ready for anything. As if sensing this Takara walked in front of me putting herself in between me and the Wild Dodou ready to strike if she needed to.
Ash was amazed that I didn't have to order Takara to do this "Wow, you didn't have to order her to get in front of you."
"A good pet owner trains his or her pets with loving care. I have Takara's back and she has mine. It's a matter of respecting each other."
I pet Takara's back and she smiled happily while keeping an eye on the Dodou.
The twin headed bird Pokemon stopped and tried to talk to Takara "Dodou, Dodou."
"Vulpix, Vulpix!" Takara replied.
"Wonder what those two are saying?" Ash asked me.
"Got me" I admitted "I maybe psychic but not even I can tell what those two are talking about but I can guess..."
Aang turned towards me "I think they might be talking about how Takara's relationship with you seems to be different than Ash and Pikachu's."
"It can see that?" Ash asked bewildered "I mean Pikachu and I have a strong bond but Lady Kasumi and Takara do seem to have a better connection to each other."
"Possibly that's because she doesn't use a Pokeball" Brock noted "I've never seen a Vulpix like Takara just stay at Kasumi's side like a normal pet, and yet both trust each other."
"It's because I'm a ninja" I said smiling "I'm always putting my life on the line when I'm on missions. Takara herself is a big part of my battle strategy. We've taken some lessons from Kiba whom once again fights alongside his dog Ackumaru to hone that skill. Basically I'll never ask for Takara to do anything I wouldn't do. That includes battling an enemy alone. If I'm fighting an enemy and say Haku and Hanabi aren't around, I'll be happy to have Takara at my side because if I'm going to die in battle she and I both will."
"That's real deep" Dawn admitted.
"It truly is" Brock adds on.
"In a way it goes back to what she was telling you all earlier about the usage of Pokeballs" Aang explained to them "Using Pokeballs on Pokemon is like putting your friends in a cage. Neither Lady Kasumi or I would never do that to any of our friends. Because of that difference Takara and Kasumi trust each other and would die for each other like true friends or partners."
Aang focuses his attention on the Doduo "So I'll befriend Dodou to prove Lady Kasumi's point. At the end you'll see how to truly catch a Pokemon by gaining it's trust to a point where it knows you care for it and won't ask it to do anything you'd ever do."
I gave out a smile as Ash looked like he was about to witnessing something that no one around here ever attempted to do. He turned to me "How did you meet Takara anyway?"
I answered him "Back in Konoha, she accidentally tripped me and I took her in. Like the baby Vulpix, I believe she was slightly injured so I took her to the local vet whom healed her in no time, afterward she became my pet."
I scratched the back of the neck of Takara and she gave out a playful and gentle Vulpix laugh of enjoyment.
We all turned out attention to what Aang had in mind.
Haku's POV
Hanabi, Toph and I were heading right in an intercept course to take down Pokemon Hunter J or at least defeat her so she couldn't advance on Lady Kasumi's position. If the Lady Signer was at full strength, J would've had no chance in taking a snow white baby Vulpix from her and chances are high that even the Lady Signer would kill Pokemon Hunter J if given the chance. There was no honor in being a thief, even among ninjas that was very frowned upon. I was wearing my mask, Hanabi had her Byukugan on telling us how much farther we had to go. Toph was following er lagging behind but she was keeping up with us. If we wanted to stop the Pokemon Hunter then it was going to take the three of us to do it.
"What's the plan to take her in?" Hanabi asked me.
I looked over my shoulder to see Officer Jenny following behind Toph and the officer was out of hearing range of my voice, then I answered the Hyugga "We'll do whatever we can to take her down. With luck there could be water nearby so Water Bending is always an option. However even if she doesn't want to go down into police custody, I know you and I won't hesitate to kill her."
"Right" Hanabi admitted.
"In order to stop this evil Pokemon Hunter in her tracks one has to be bold enough to do that" I admitted "Zabuza would kill Pokemon Hunter J the moment she turned her back on him providing of course she was an assassination target of his otherwise he'd let her be."
Toph overheard us but wasn't out of Officer Jenny's hearing range and I could see she wanted to agree with me but didn't want to be overheard admitting that we'd kill J off to stop her. Probably a good idea not to say it out loud when an Officer of this world was just ear length away of you.
Instead Toph asked "How much farther is she?"
"About a good five minutes" Hanabi replied.
"Which way?" Officer Jenny asked as she caught up to us.
"North" Hanabi replied.
"Never fought alongside another dimension's ninjas" the police officer admitted "You three have no Pokemon to battle her with."
"With luck" I told her smiling behind my mask "Toph, Hanabi and I won't need a Pokemon. We Shinobi fight foes directly then ask of other creatures to fight them alone."
"Even when a Shinboi like Lady Kasumi's brother Naruto summons Gambunta that shinboi fights alongside the creature instead of telling it what to do" Hanabi admitted "Although they'll do that to at least tell the Summoned creature what's going on and what the objective is."
We carefully headed more up north amazingly avoiding any Wild Pokemon encounters. In five minutes we were just about to intercept our foe. I took careful time to actualize my surroundings and boy there were lots of places where I could Water Bend. Being on solid Ground, Toph too could Earth Bend. Just a few feet away we sat plotting our attack.
"It won't be too long before Pokemon Hunter J's jet platform passes us" Officer Jenny reminded us.
"True" I admitted looking at Toph "Think you could nail a rock or two to destroy her jet engines?"
Toph smirked "I might not be able to see the jet engines exactly but I'll hear them. You bet I could aim a few good Earth Bended Rocks to the engines."
"Would those be enough to bring down the jet platform?"
Toph answered "A big enough rock will plug in the engines of the platform. Without any exit to go out the rock would cause a backfire causing Pokemon Hunter J's jet to crash without a good working jet she won't get very far."
"I just wish Lady Kasumi was here to join us" Hanabi admitted.
"We're doing this for the Lady Signer" I reminded my two companions "Let's make her proud that we stopped this Pokemon Hunter in her tracks and hope justice prevails."
"Right!" Hanabi agreed "For the Lady Signer. So what's the plan?"
"We hide ourselves" I answered sternly "Toph you must bring down that jet if we want a chance in stopping Pokemon Hunter J. You get the honors of being the one that brings her jet down. Make it count."
Toph just smiled "More damage I do to her jet the better?"
"You bet!"
"Then I'm in! I won't miss those engines!"
Hearing the Earth Bender speak caused me to smile behind my mask at her, I liked Toph's tough girl attitude that she brought to the group "See that you don't...Just don't get spotted by her or she may easily figure out something is up"
"You got it!" Toph said finding a nice bush to hide behind.
Now I turned to Hanabi "We must calculate the trajectory where the ship will land. Think the Byugugan can track that down?"
"It'll be tricky" Hanabi admitted "Jets don't immolate Chakra but I will be able to see Pokemon Hunter J inside her Jet Platform and can use that to see where the jet will crash."
"Good enough" I told her.
I looked at Officer Jenny "When Toph brings down the jet we'll hopefully follow where it'll crash and surround her on all ends."
"She's known to have henchmen" Officer Jenny told me.
"Even more reason to take them all by surprise" I told her "By any means necessary"
"Even killing them?" the officer asked me.
"If it's needed to yes" I told her "We can't let Pokemon Hunter J get away. Look even officers back in normal human cities in the world I come from can kill as long as it's justified. Hopefully we don't have to kill any of her followers or her,"
"You really want to take her alive?" Hanabi asked me.
"In all fairness it's best we take her alive so she can stand trial" I told Hanabi "That's how justice truly works people standing trial to their crimes they commit. However sometimes one has to take a step and do the unthinkable sometimes it could be the criminal doesn't want to be caught and doesn't want to face justice and allow cops to kill them or force the cops to do that in which it would be called Suicide by Cop. I know we besides Toph are ninjas, that killing is in our code of honor to do in any situation and in a fight, however even if Lady Kasumi would be glad to kill someone off like Pokemon Hunter J, even Lady Kasumi would also like Pokemon Hunter J to stand trial and atone for her crimes. Let's try to do this the way Lady Kasumi would want it. She wants to protect the baby Vulpix so taking her alive so that she can stand trial will be the top priority."
I looked at Officer Jenny "However at the same time we'd have to expect that J won't want to be taken alive into custody. Personally she'd probably want to escape and do her crimes another day. So we can't have that happen."
"Agreed" Officer Jenny said "So it's ether we succeed in capturing her or if that can't happen we have to kill her...My superiors and chieftain may not like the idea of doing that but how you explained things to me, she'll have to be killed if we can't capture her alive. Just promise me you'll do your best not to do that unless we have no other option."
"You have my word" I told her.
The jet engines came closer and it was time to put my plan into action. I made sure to split the group up into four places. Toph was already hiding behind a bush. Hanabi was hiding right besides a tree to the left with me doing the same to the right knowing all too well we couldn't be spotted from the jet platform. Officer Jenny was hiding in bushes to the front. Everyone was silent very silent. In fact I couldn't hear any of our hearts beat quiet. Just as the jet seemed to fly by us never seeing us, Toph carefully stomped on the ground causing huge boulders to fly up she then pushes out at the flying jet. BANG, BANG! The two huge rock boulders were shot and expertly hit their target exactly where we wanted them right in the center of the engines...THEN BOOM! BOOM! The Jet engines backfired destroying themselves and causing the flying jet platform to fall into the ground. With the exception of Toph whom was blind the four of us saw where the jet was going to crash and followed suit silently. We were all careful not to make any sounds.
Hanabi was leading the way and it wasn't long before we came to another clearing where we could see the damaged jet.
A white haired woman appeared looking at her henchmen "DID YOU IDIOTS RUN INTO BIRDS AGAIN?"
"No ma'am!" one of her henchmen protested "There were no Bird Pokemon in sight!"
A mechanic type of henchman was checking out the damage as the woman made her way to him "DAMAGE REPORT! What just hit us?"
The mechanic reached in trying to retrieve the two boulders "It seems two boulders struck the engines in such a way it clogged the engines causing the backfire."
"Damage?"
"Massive!" The mechanic replied "I'll need time to analyze the engines more but my first estimate...Tells me they are totaled"
This I could tell didn't make her too happy "HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO REPAIR THE ENGINES OR GET NEW ONES?"
"It could take a day or two days"
"NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
I decided to make my presence count and moved my hand towards a stream of water then sent it at the Pokemon Hunter as if it were a watery snake.
"MA'AM!" the mechanic cried seeing my Water Bended snake water coming at her "HEADS-"
Pokemon Hunter J's reflexes were sharper than I anticipated no sooner had the mechanic shouted her title did she duck and he took the water bended snake freezing him solid.
She blinks "Water Ice beam?"
Officer Jenny walked out of her coverage "POKEMON HUNTER! HANDS UP WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!"
The Pokemon Hunter seemed shocked to see the police officer "YOU WERE BEHIND THIS?"
"I had help actually" Officer Jenny told her "You and your allies are surrounded!"
At this Hanabi came out of hiding towards the left. I came from the right and Toph crawled out towards the back.
The Pokemon Hunter gasped seeing my mask as I spoke to her "Your evil stealing days End here!"
"The client said nothing about facing ninjas!" Pokemon Hunter J shouted at me.
"What does your client want?" I asked.
"A snow white Baby Vulpix!"
"THOUGHT SO!" Officer Jenny said.
"So you have seen it."
I gave her a stern look "That snow white vulpix is a baby, which means you stole her from her mother...Where is the mother?"
J growls at me "She's already in the hands in my employer! Or was going to she somehow escaped us just as I was handing her off she managed to get away. I figured steal her baby next and use that baby as leverage to get the pair!"
"That won't happen!" Hanabi told J "As my friend Haku told you, your thieving days are over!"
"You have no Pokemon to defend yourselves!"
I reached for my ninja tools grabbing a few needles and directly threw them at Pokemon Hunter J's neck, I was so accurate that if I wanted to I could've hit her in the neck and possibly killed her, instead I purposely missed causing my needles to hit a tree trunk.
She glares at me as I called out to her "Hanabi, Toph and I don't need a Pokemon to handle a thief like you. Surrender because" I paused holding more needles expertly "I won't miss, I intentionally meant to miss you that first time, but if you don't surrender then I won't miss."
Pokemon Hunter J stood looking at the needles and for once seemed to have fear in her eyes. It was as if she was now knowing I wasn't fooling around. She tries to run but Toph thought fast and Earth Bended a rocky wall in front of her which she promptly ran into with a loud and satisfying SMACK!
"A Rock wall?" she demanded.
Toph spoke "I may not see you exactly, but I can sense your movements from your footsteps. I'm an Earth Bender meaning I can Earth Bend anything I'd like...Haku is a Water Bender which means he can use the water you see in that stream over there to attack you."
The Pokemon Hunter glares at Hanabi "But you seem normal with the exception of your eyes!"
Hanabi glared with her Byugugan activated "I seem the most normal out of my two friends? However my eyes can see you perfectly well. No matter what you'll try to do to escape me you can't succeed...Plus I'm from the Hyugga Clan a clan that is the strongest ninja clans in our village."
"Surrender!" Officer Jenny told her "Because my three ninja friends here won't hesitate to kill you."
"I'll take my chances!" Pokemon Hunter J shouted she grabbed a Pokeball "Drapion, Cross Poison!"
Out of her thrown Pokeball came a huge purple like scorpion "DRAPION!"
It took a look at Hanabi then tried to use Cross Poison but the Hyugga was ready for it "Shouldn't call out your moves unless you are sure I can't deal with them!"
Hanabi spun around forming a barrier of chakra which Drapion's Cross Poison hit causing it to be deflected easily and for Hanabi to send the Pokemon flying backwards to Pokemon Hunter J. The Pokemon Hunter thought fast as he henchmen came out to help her "STOP THOSE NINJAS AND THAT BLIND GIRL!"
Twelve of her henchmen all grinned at the blind girl comment and came at Toph. I just smirked behind my mask "Big mistake fellas!"
It all happened so quickly, no sooner did the henchmen try to attack Toph but the moment they reached for their Pokeballs, Toph had answered them all with a swift up hand motion causing a rock spike to come out of the ground impaling them threw the butt and they would shoot upright exiting out the head a fatal way to go but it was to proof Officer Jenny's point that we would kill if needed and well if you were ganging up on a blind girl hoping to hurt or capture her was just a good reason for Toph to defend herself using lethal force. Toph didn't seem bothered by the death cries of the henchmen that tried to capture her.
Officer Jenny looked like she was going to hurl at seeing this but the officer knew like I did that Toph just defended herself and wasn't going to be tried for murder even if the deaths were brutal.
Toph took aim with her hands then after stomping on the ground brought up four huge rock boulders that she sent at four more henchmen, the rocks hit good and true hitting them in their heads causing an instant but not a permanent knock out. Toph looked at Pokemon Hunter J's reaction to both the killing of twelve of her people then four more of them were knocked out swiftly. Toph then spoke to the Pokemon Hunter shrugging her hands "What did you expect? I warned you that even though I can't see you, I can still sense every step you take."
The Pokemon Hunter gasped as I tried to freeze her yet again by Water Bending, this time a wave. She managed to escape but not after I froze about twelve more of her henchmen that she used as a wall.
"Hanabi" I told the Hyugga "Do what you can to defeat her Drapion!"
"Will do!" Hanabi said charging it.
Pokemon Hunter J saw Hanabi charging at her Pokemon "Okay you caught me off guard that one time, but let's see you dodge this again Drapion, Cross Poison"
Drapion's claws glow with deadly pink poison. It strikes out at Hanabi whom seems to take the attack and is pinned to a tree.
"Even if you are a human" Pokemon Hunter J told Hanabi "You are no match to a Pokemon."
I saw what Pokemon Hunter J didn't, the moment she thought she had struck Hanabi and bragged about how she wasn't a match to Drapion, I saw Hanabi burst into smoke and knew she was using the Substitution Jutsu she needed time to put Drapion out of commission. I was willing to help her out. So as she is speaking I flung more needles at her. She saw them coming at her and tried to dodge but four hit her in her shoulders two in each one piercing them. She grits her teeth feeling this as she falls to her knees and glared at me "You got me!"
"Oh please" I told her "You aren't the hurt much..."
I came at her and Drapion saw me coming at her "Drapion, Cross Poison that masked ninja!"
I could see Toph preparing to Earth Bend a wall in front of me but I calmly held up my hand that I got this. She nodded and focused on trying to take down more of J's henchmen. I timed it right then lashed out with my water bending skills water bending an attack that intercepted Drapion's Cross Poison attack canceling it out.
"You might be a match even if you aren't a Pokemon" J told me seeing this with disbelief in her tone of voice.
I just smirked behind my mask "I could handle that thing with ease and so can Hanabi!"
"I JUST NAILED THAT HYUGGA! SHE'S HURT OR DYING!"
"Oh?" I asked "Is she?"
Pokemon Hunter J paused "What do you mean?"
She then noticed Hanabi was missing and then saw Hanabi coming at Drapion's back "DRAPION! WATCH OUT!"
Drapion heard his mistress's plea but was too slow. Hanabi struck it in the back with a nicely timed gentle fist. It reared in pain even tossing it's head up allowing Hanabi to roll over top of it then she nailed it not once but twice more this time in the chest directly where one's heart would be. It still rears in pain as it tries to use it's claws to nail her but she pushes out with both fists with both palms of her hand sending Drapion flying onto it's back and the tall Pokemon didn't get up and had swirls around it's eyes.
"NO WAY!" Pokemon Hunter J shouted in disbelief that Hanabi had single handingly defeated a Pokemon on her own well she did have a little bit of help from me but I didn't have to but in and get the Pokemon Hunter's attention ether. Still as Kakashi-Sensei preaches teams help out each other.
Officer Jenny was in disbelief as well, it was as if neither she or J ever seen a human actually defeat a Pokemon all on their own. Then again, this was the first time both were seeing ninja in action.
The Pokemon Hunter tries to get away but Toph tripped her with a nicely Earth Bended Rock to the knees. She glares at Toph for doing that but it was then Hanabi and I were at each of her sides.
"Surrender" I told J as I held up three needles "Or, I'll use these to stab you in the neck where these can be fatal."
She looked as if to say I was bluffing but Hanabi had grabbed onto the Pokemon Hunter's arms "She doesn't need to surrender Haku. She knows she's beaten. Officer Jenny! It's time to arrest her."
Officer Jenny nodded walking over to Pokemon Hunter J and putting on the handcuffs on her while using J's Pokeball to recall Drapion.
Pokemon Hunter J looks at me, Hanabi and Toph "This isn't over! When I get out of prison I'll make you and your friends pay."
"Empty threats from a simple brainless thief" Toph taunted.
The Pokemon Hunter glares at Toph for that but Hanabi and I thought that the comment Toph made was funny. I then grew serious "You said you saw the mother Ninetails that the baby vulpix a friend of mine has."
"What of it?" J asked me.
I looked at her seriously "You are going to be put away in jail for a long time now. Pokemon aren't meant to be stolen from other trainers nor are they supposed to be stolen from their families in the wild...So you are going to tell me where I can find that Ninetails"
"And if I don't?" J demanded.
I removed my mask to show her my true face as I spoke in a warning tone "Don't test ninjas from the Leaf Village. Or any village where I come from, we have ways of making you talk and it better be truthful."
"How will you know I'm lying?"
Toph answered "I can tell whose lying and who isn't."
"Tell a lie" Hanabi warned her "Or you are certainly looking at a worse punishment than being in jail."
Pokemon Hunter J snares at the three of us but knew she wasn't in permission "Okay, I lied about that Ninetails going free."
"I figured that part out" Toph told her "You were trying to pull the blame off your client when we caught you."
"Where is the client?" I demanded.
"That's only part of question" Hanabi agreed "Another question is WHO is her client."
Officer Jenny had a guess "Must be someone rich."
Pokemon Hunter J saw my Duel Disk as well as Hanabi's and Toph "So you three have those too."
"What of it?" I asked her.
She glares at me "My client whom ordered the Ninetails and her baby also has one of those Duel Disks."
"A duelist in this world?" Officer Jenny asked.
Pokemon Hunter J nods "He claims he's looking for a unique type of Deck which he calls the Pokedeck. He needed not only that Ninetails but the baby Vulpix."
I turned to Toph to see if the Earth Bender was sensing that the Pokemon Hunter was lying.
"She's not lying" Toph told me.
Pokemon Hunter J then spoke "Plus there were more he was looking forward to."
"He's using Pokemon to turn them into Cards!" Officer Jenny shouted.
"Indeed"
I gripped my fingers "Who is your client?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because a friend of ours" I told her "Lady Kasumi is a Signer and is the daughter of Yusei Fudo."
Pokemon Hunter J gasps "THAT'S A NAME MY CLIENT SAYS HE HATES! The one Duelist that my client is building his new deck to beat."
I gave a smile, as does Hanabi, and even Toph does. I looked at the Pokemon Hunter "Does your client have a name? This information will go directly to our friend Lady Kasumi whom will go after your client and stop his actions."
"One that would force her to possibly unleash her Psychic Powers" Hanabi agreed.
"And death to him would be granted possibly" Toph added on.
Officer Jenny decided to allow the three of us to interrogate her client seeing that Lady Kasumi's strength was needed to stop this madness. I brought out my needles again and held them at her throat "Who is your client? Tell us now!"
Pokemon Hunter J tries to come up with a lie but Toph sensing this Earth Bends a rocky boulder to the Pokemon Hunter's legs "No lying lady! I can sense that lie you were about to say!"
Defeated the Pokemon Hunter had no choice "My client goes by the name Marik Ishtar the Third, son of the first Marik Ishtar."
I gave out a worried gasp.
"What's wrong?" Hanabi asked.
"If this Marik the Third is like his father...The first Marik, then he's bound to have the Millennium Rod! Which means...He must have other Duelist out there...AND somehow the Winged Dragon of Ra card."
"THE BEST EGYPTIAN GOD CARD?" Toph and Hanabi asked.
"The same one" I admitted, and I winced a bit "Oh boy...Should we tell Lady Kasumi what we just learned and hope she doesn't go berserk and go after him? I mean Lady Kasumi is a Signer but it sounds like the Marik Ishtar the Third if he has the Millennium Rod could bring out a Shadow Duel...And be possibly treated as a Dark Signer."
"What's wrong with that?" Officer Jenny asked.
Toph answered "Signers can lose but usually not unless your equal to the Crimson Dragon and hate it, or you are a Dark Signer a true enemy to the Signers. If Lady Kasumi duels-"
Suddenly a glowing yellow eye appeared on Pokemon Hunter J's head and a new voice was heard coming from J's mouth it wasn't hers and I knew it must've been this Marik the Third "So...You managed to uncover my plot to make a new deck which I'll play soon. I never imagine the daughter of Yusei Fudo to be here."
"You can thank old snake man for that" Toph interrupted.
"Should've foreseen that he'd attempt this!" Marik's voice sounded angrily "I do have the mother Alohan Ninetails just waiting to be turned into a card but I can't do that until I have the snow white baby Vulpix!"
"Which won't happen!" I told him
"Not unless I defeat your Lady Signer friend in a Shadow Duel. I do have the Winged Dragon of Ra Card which'll ensure my victory! I have dueling henchmen all over the place, if you and your Signer friend can find and defeat them all you'll have my location. If Lady Kasumi wants to stop me she's going to have to find and Duel me."
"You do realize she will do that" I told him.
"I do actually! Bring her on. It'll be the first step to my ultimate revenge, by taking her soul, I'll move onto her father and once I have the Snow White baby Vulpix in card formation there will be no one to stop me or my God Card. For now I'll wait and leave this pathetic Pokemon Hunter to the judge instead of removing her own soul as my father would've done!"
With this Pokemon Hunter J became quiet and looked at me, Hanabi and Toph "What?"
Toph sighed "Well at least she has her soul and normal voice back."
"Take her" I told Officer Jenny.
I turned to my friends "Hanabi, Toph, looks like we know what's going to happen to that Vulpix's mother."
"Lady Kasumi's going to be pissed" Hanabi said.
"You could duel this Marik guy right Haku? I mean didn't Zeus say the Titan Cards rival the God Cards themselves?"
"They do" I said pulling out Hydros the Ice Titan "But he's calling out the Lady Signer whom does have a Titan Card. Girls we've gotta get back to Lady Kasumi at once."
"Right!"
The three of us seperated and now were on a mission to warn the Lady Signer of danger. I could only hope that Lady Kasumi would be ready for a Duel like that, a Duel between Boltoze the Lightning Titan vs. the Winged Dragon of Ra. This was going to be her first real test against a God Card.
Kasumi's POV
It was amazing on what one can accomplish. It took Aang a good hour to convince Dodou that he wasn't going to put it in a cage. In fact the two were becoming quite good friends and I could tell the Dodou wanted Aang to be it's trainer. Ash was bewildered at how gentle Aang's nature got to the twin headed Bird Pokemon.
"Just wow!" Ash admitted.
I nodded "Told you it's possible. Aang was raised by monks so it totally makes sense to me that Aang was able to capture Dodou without the usage of a Pokeball.
"It was fun seeing him race it" Dawn admitted.
I smiled "Indeed!"
I sat down feeling a bit better but had the feeling something bad was about to happen. I turned my head towards the way Haku would be coming. He finally arrived with Hanabi, and Toph looking scared.
"What's wrong?" Brock asked them "Were you able to stop Pokemon Hunter J?"
"We were!" Haku reported he turned to me "Lady Kasumi! Hanabi, Toph and I have just learned a horrible truth! One that you aren't going to like!"
I looked at my friends something was telling me they were right as I gave out a worried sigh then asked "What's going on?"
My three friends gave each other worried looks it was as if they were wondering how well I would take the news.
End of chapter
I know I skipped Aang capturing Dodou but I did mention he did have it and he will have it even through out this adventure. But we did get to see Haku, Hanabi and Toph into action...Sorry if the deaths of 12 men were brutal but come on Toph is Toph and an incredible Earth Bender and probably would do something like that. Anyway we also learned a new a terrifying truth. Things are about to include. Next Chapter is: Chapter 30: A New Enemy P1: Kasumi learns that the true mastermind behind the baby Vulpix's seperation is Marik Ishar the Third. She sets out to stop the Ishtar's maddness but to do that she needs to find Marik's Dueling soldiers.
Technically this upcoming chapter is going to be treated in the Split Apart arch. Yes, I've decided that Kasumi will have a terrifying challenge in this arch against Marik Ishtar's own son Marik Ishtar the Third another OC of mine for this upcoming chapter. I hope you'll enjoy the first ever God/Titan Card encounter of Boltose the Lightning Titan vs. the Winged Dragon of Ra which will possibly be in four or five chapters. In the comments let me know what lines you'd think this Marik would say to Kasumi when they have their duel. I'm interested to see some dialouge you'd think he would say to her.
