"Am I glad Ash and Riley caught Sableye."

"Me too."

"We disagree on a lot of things but we all agree on that."

All three of Dawn, May and Zoey's spirits had heard the news during the day about the aura guardians accomplishment. With the gremlin now in custody the spirits did not had to worry about being a jawbreaker for the gremlin and soon it would be time to return the favor for the guardians. The three hosts laughed at their companions. While their bloodline has been thinned out so much it's hard to call the humans related, the spirits still kept up their sisterly rivalry somehow.

"And soon it will be our turn to take care of their weakness." Dawn said excited for today. The three girls went after school right to the closed amusement park out of town.

The curfew prevented from a lot of late visitors and with it being a school season did not have much customers. Also the blind corners of the place would make it perfect area for most of the girls powers. They wanted to be secluded as far as possible from town yet contain the upcoming fights in an area. Waiting on top of a hill in the woods Leafeon made a couple of seats for them to sit in out of grass. Incredibly comfy they had a great view of the area.

Dawn appreciated the sight. Still being relatively new she had gained a perspective only few ever had. Her biggest fear is that wonderful sights like these will become bland over time.

"What do you have Zoey?" May asked as the newcomer wanted to talk to them after school. Waiting at the park for the one to take the bait the now green haired girl began talking.

"The guy Dawn fought yesterday? I managed to make him talk." Having had a few minutes alone with him Zoey used some methods to make him squeal.

"He told me that all he remembered was some purple fog and then it turned all black. He couldn't remember your face nor Ash and the guys. The only thing of value was that he saw a logo of some sorts before he went out."

Zoey took out her phone and showed the logo he talked about. A shield with a face the words Coffins and undertaking beneath it came up. May had heard of it a while back.

"I vaguely remember something from the news. The wood processing plant is shutting down shortly cause the owner moved to a more modern place."

"Coffins and undertaking. Sounds like a perfect job for a necromancer. Free supply of corpses to experiment with." Umbreon thinking it was a perfect match.

"It's gotta be abandoned but we should check it out just in case. I'll snoop around for a bit after we're done here." Dawn eager to search through the building for clues the other two tempered her enthusiasm.

"Whatever of value there was it's probably gone now." Glaceon said.

"She's right. We can check out the place but whatever links must be already at the new one." Leafeon thinking it as well.

"Still wouldn't hurt to look." Leafeon said as they began to hear sirens and the three started to look at the highway connecting to the park. They got out of their chairs as it was now time to go to work as the plan was starting just as they wanted.

Ash had planted his aura shuriken at the agreed place they discussed. The aura guardian went to the park and snuck in leaving a few weapons in hard to reach but visible places as a calling card to lure out Mienshao. As expected the few workers in the park took note of it and called the police seeing the name Greninja carved into the side of a wooden building and a throwing star next to it as a signature.

The police set off the scene of the crime to investigate and gather evidence but once they established a presence the shaolin and his entourage demanded entry.

The police refused it as the shaolin grew impatient and forced his way inside. Looking around to find the blue materials he saw one as his eyes glistened. He moved a bit as he then proceeded to climb up the Ferris wheel in the cart high up the air. Jumping from cart to cart he only had two more to go before he grabbed his target.

The blue object suddenly moved away from him. It moving up he looked up as well.

"Looking for this!?" A figure dressed in black and yellow rings used her shadow to grab the hilt of the weapon and lift it out of Mienshao's reach. The shadow used as a whip it put the weapon in her right hand as she mocked him waving it around.

"Come and get it if you want it that much!" Dawn taunted him as he leaped to her. Dawn leaped off the cart she was on and grabbed the ledge of the cart letting go at the precise moment so she flew under it and landed on a lower one while the shaolin is still moving up. Dawn jumped and ran over the foundation of the wheel moving down like a cat enjoying every second of her advanced agility.

The shaolin copied her movements chasing her down to the ground level. Dawn's feet touched it and she ran through the amusement park while making sure the shaolin still had his eyes on her. Dawn rounded a corner and he followed her. Mienshao lost his footing and slipped over a trial of ice that was made. Sliding down the ramp at the end of it was a tree waiting for him to catch him. Vines shot out of the plant and tied up the shaolin high off the ground trapping him in it.

"I don't know how you got out but you won't escape again." Leafeon said making extra sure that the vines are extra strong even aura guardians had trouble breaking out of it. The shaolin struggled as the three heroines stood in front of their capture.

"Got him!" May glad to see him trapped the way he is. There's no escaping now for him and he soon will forcibly deported back to where he came from.

"Hahaha! Just look at him! Can't believe he fell for it!"

Dawn was having the time of her life pointed at him laughing. Her stealth powers allowed her to prank people by scaring them but the chase she did with Mienshao was so much fun. Maybe when this is over they can play a game of tag across Veilstone City the likes never played before.

"Nice work girls!" May congratulating each other for an easy capture they felt a tremor going through their feet.

"Is the ground shaking?"

"Behind you." Glaceon to them said as the three turned round seeing a massive man in a black suit. Seeing the shaolin tied up he screamed words they couldn't understand and he rushed to them like a bull. The ice slide May made earlier cracked under his weight. The three girls dodged the man doing a rhino impression as he then went straight for the tree. The three girls went after him but he pushed them back as if they were tennis balls. The three recomposed themselves off the ground and saw the large man look to the shaolin.

"Hariyama! Dasabaka!" The shaolin screamed at the man in his language which the man nodded. With his hands he took a hold of the tree and shook it wildly. The entire tree shaking now the branches were the vines were attached too broke off from the rest of the tree. The vines losing their grip the shaolin freed himself of them before he even hit the ground.

"Great! Now we gotta do it again!" Dawn frustrated that it wouldn't be an easy night. She saw the large man eyeing him and saying something. Dawn recognized him as it was the same person that saw her the night she snuck into the hotel the night she stole the his facial expression turn into pure anger he took a wide stance and raised one leg before slamming it into the ground with the girls swearing they felt a small tremor.

"That stance is common with sumo wrestlers. Leave him to us." Umbreon said as she felt confident in taking the large man on. Dawn shared her optimism clenching her fists. Unlike last time she wasn't going to run.

"Then leave the shaolin to icy and me." Leafeon said as Umbreon nodded.

"Mind giving me a boost?" Dawn asked May as the icy heroine nodded.

The shaolin ran towards the three as May used her powers and created a spike out of the ground that launched Dawn right to the massive sumo as she did a flying kick, the sumo held his huge hands up and to Dawn it felt like hitting a brick wall.

The other two in May and Zoey got ready as the shaolin got close. Zoey blocked his first attack head on which was a piercing strike while Dawn side stepped and aimed for his ankles with a low kick. The shaolin jumped over May's attempt and kicked upwards to Zoey who then put her feet on the ground to absorb the strike strong as a rooted tree. May then jumped and tried to hit him in the air with an uppercut, but Mienshao caught it in his long sleeves tying her arm up in it.

Zoey's feet left the ground. The shaolin senses tuned caught it with the bottom of his heel kicking backwards as the grass heroine threw a new punch at which Mienshao dropped back on his back and planted his foot in her face with a bicycle kick. May still tied in his sleeve Mienshao leaned backwards and tossed May right into Zoey. The two heroines clashing they fell but quickly got up.

"Even without those two here he's pretty tough!" May said.

"No wonder Greninja had trouble with him." Zoey thinking it be a lot easier if the guardians weren't around for Mienshao to leech off of.

"Wonder how Blacky is doing?"

Dawn meanwhile had tied up the large man in her shadow. Her punches and kicks all bounced off the massive frame so she reverted to her new favorite trick and combat power. Holding out her arms she tightened the grip on the shadow. The large sumo shook it off and broke free of the hold. He tried grab the shadow to whip her in but it slipped through his fingers.

"Think Dawn! Think!" Not wanting to depend on the other girls she tried to come up with a new strategy to beat him.

"You're faster and should be able to dodge everything. Go for the legs. He won't be able to hold his weight then." Umbreon doing her duty as Dawn's coach the host got the idea and ran to Hariyama again. Sliding between the legs he was too slow catch her. While in the slide Dawn caught his ankle with her left hand. The man so heavy that he functioned as solid base, she spun around on the ground and then with a kick hit him in the back of the kneecap. Immediately he fell to one knee.

Dawn from behind got on her feet and used her shadow again as it reached out. This time only surrounding the one leg that buckled under her hit and nothing more. She put all her focus into it.

"I'm going to cut off the blood flow to his leg. Instead of breaking bones I'm going to put it to sleep."

Dawn telling her idea aimed for temporary crippling. The spirit with her kind of surprised at the method. Umbreon has seen people be choked out before but putting a limb to sleep is a new one. Dawn kept a tight hold as Hariyama tried to get up. Dawn not letting go despite him moving closer saw him beginning to limp.

"Once he falls down I'll hit him again."

"And if your attacks bounce off?"

"Then I unfortunately have to grab a hold on his neck and choke him out." She hoped it didn't had to go that far as she kept the grip up tight.

May and Zoey still were facing off against Mienshao. The shaolin being extremely well trained fought off both girls at tye same time with a mix of agility, skill, perception and the heroines could swear a bit of luck.

"Starting to get sick of this guy." May said frustrated.

"Me too." Zoey as well started to get annoyed. It shouldn't be this difficult to catch one guy. The gentle approach wasn't going to work.

"Can you distract him and hold for a few seconds? All I need is a good touch." May asked of the newcomer as she nodded. From the ground vines began to sprout and charged right to Mienshao. The shaolin stepped on one and then ran over it to the two girls. May did the same as she ran to him. From the vine Zoey formed a tiny branch which Mienshao just jumped over not tripping on it. May tackled him head on and started to send all her power into her hands. She breezed his sleeves which then started to freeze. The ice made its way up to his arms as Mienshao suddenly felt a vine wrap around his neck keeping him in place.

The ice now covered Mienshao's arms and he began to slack forwards. The vine noose around his neck loosening so he wouldn't be choked he fell down with his encased arms to the ground. May looked over her handywork.

"That should hold him. It's the densest ice I can make. Each one of those blocks weighs a couple hundred pounds." She doubted he had the strength to lift the massive blocks. Zoey then tied him up using more vines from top to bottom making Mienshao lift off the ground.

"You check on Umbreon." Zoey told May. The ice heroine nodded as she moved to Dawn who was a bit further away. Seeing the large man laying down he almost dragged himself over the ground.

"Nice!" Dawn heard May much to her relief.

"Mind helping me with this one?"

"Gladly!"

Zoey meanwhile had finished up wrapping Mienshao. A full body cocoon apart from the frozen arms he struggled against it but to no avail. He did didn't just have the pure strength compared to his technique.

"That should do it."

"Freeze! Put your hands up!" Zoey heard yelling behind her.

"The police." Leafeon functioning as eyes in the back of her head Zoey slowly raised her arms up.

"I'm not the one you want. I tied up that shaolin for you in that." She said as the police start to rumor about her.

"Isn't that the green thing that guy at the station screamed about?"

"You're under arrest! On your knees!" Zoey kept her arms up but did not comply.

"I said on your knees!" Hearing the clicking of the rifles behind her she shifted her hand. From below the cops roots sprouted up as they lost balance and got carried up as she spawned a big tree. All of them stuck in the branches tried to cut themselves out of it while swearing Zoey took her leave to the direction she saw May go.

Zoey saw May do the same as she did to Mienshao. Freezing the legs she yelled at Dawn and May to get it over with.

"Time to go! The police are here!"

The two nodded as the three raced back home towards the city hoping the police could handle it from here after their preparation work. With Mienshao caught and handed over to the police it was the governments problem now. The three heroines weren't registered citizens of the land they were in so it was difficult to put blame on anyone.

"We did it!" Jumping from branch to branch Dawn celebrated. May and Zoey more restrained did gave her a pat on the back. Used to the success of their actions Zoey already focused on the bigger threats.

"Now with Sableye and Mienshao gone I hope we can focus on Cacturne soon." Her mind going back to the number one reason she's here as visitor Dawn gave her favorite phrase.

"No need to worry! With the five of us I'm sure we'll she'll catch him in no time." May had to agree. But for now they would wrap up an incredibly productive day and meet their male partners to thank each other in both for eliminating their counters to the powers they have.

"Let's go see the guys at Lila's place and tell them the news!"

"Right!"


See you around.
