Here's the next chapter, credits to Xbyt92, and shit that should be known by heart.

Enjoy!


CHAPTER 18:

A black car rolled in parallel to the side walk as the morning barely came up. The car parked and was turned off. The driver's door opened revealing a black man exiting out of it, following by the other three doors opening and three other people exiting.

All four of them got to the entrance and then just teleported on through and into the lab. They looked around as one asked, "So where the hell is that wannabe professor?"

The leader said, "I don't know, but his ass betta' be here before I decide to have this placed robbed."

Then the sound of the doors opening got their attention as it was…

"Hold on, it's just his wife."

Midori came through as she greeted, "Morning everyone, I think."

The group said their hellos as Midori went over to the last grunt and asked, "Kevanin, why are your friends here?"

Kevanin said, "Hey, grandpa said he needed some hitmen."

Midori slapped herself as the leader asked, "Look, we're getting paid to do this, ok? Now where's that honkey Frank?"

She took a deep breath, "Sorry, but he's still in bed. What exactly do you need?"

"Maps and addresses."

"Just tell me who."

"The Sycamores."

"Sycamores? Why would you need to know where they are?"

"Because Frank said our first targets are the Sycamores."

"You… sure?"

"He gave us first and last names, can't argue with it."

Midori gave them a wary look, but went with it, "Alright, but I need two other things."

He asked, "Which is?"

"One, a promise that you're not going to get us killed; and two…"

She smiled, crossing her arms, "Nothing from this lab goes 'strangely' missing for a month."

He sighed heavily in the deal he had, "Fine, hopefully your, oh so, husband pays good dough."

(With Yugo)

He was getting out of the tent now, this time carrying the sleeping Riolu. After the walk to the field, he arrived there and saw Jesse just entering in, looking tired. She looked up and saw him and asked, "I'm taking it that you're Riolu Is asleep?"

Yugo nodded, "Yeah, you might have to wait."

Eriktar arrived, and Yugo carefully put Reeka down, only for Eriktar to pick her up and carry her off. Yugo asked his teacher, "Um, hopefully you spoke to him about taking it a bit easy?"

Jesse looked at him unamused, "I'm not his trainer, I'm more of a friend. Secondly, it's how he trains, if you forgot."

She swung the pole as Yugo caught it. He then threw it back and sideswiped her, throwing her at the ground instantly. She got up and tossed the pole aside, only to pull the smaller ones out and proceed to attack. She had the poles in motion attack Yugo, bashing his arms, but he blocked with no trouble. He threw them off and she began to get go for the head, trying to take some better beatings.

Jesse's move actually got somewhere, only to bash the arm, then she got thrown off into another tree. Her plans now were swapped to B as she brought out the knife again and attempted to see if he can fend it off. She charged straightforward and jumped, twisting back and then jabbing the knife forward as Yugo ran in the other direction because he did not expect the knife to come back out.

He quickly grabbed the large pole and swung it…

Jesse threw the knife, hitting Yugo's right arm, causing him to drop the pole. He then took the knife and threw back at her, striking her leg twice as hard and caused her to trip over, only for Yugo then to kick her right in the head and throw her across the field. The pain she had did have her scream in her head, 'ERIKTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!'

Eriktar only seconds later came running out and saw Yugo going off course a second time, attacking Jesse in brute force. Jesse was able to fend off some attacks, but Yugo went all brash…

*SWACK*

Eriktar's bone rush knocked Yugo straight out and had him land head first into the tree. Eriktar went over and asked Jesse, "Are you alright?"

Jesse nodded, "Fine, just a knife in my leg and a headache."

He helped her up and she pulled out the knife, and threw it in the dirt while pulling out and also sent out her Audino. When the Audino came out, she smiled, "I'm here!", then looked at Jesse and the smiled disappeared, "Oh my."

Jesse said, "Look, I know this is round three of me having you to help but I really need it."

"Ok!"

She healed her wounds and then went to Yugo and fixed him up as well. After the mess, Reeka just looked over as she was studying it, and then a half-smile appeared as an idea formed.

Aside from the mess, Eriktar went to get the food as Jesse kept the Audino out. It took some time, but Eriktar came back with that bowl of the mixed salad. Yugo was barely awake as he mumbled, "My head… what happened?"

Jesse muttered, "Apparently the knife was enough to have you go insane… again."

"Knife? I got stabbed?"

"Yes."

"When?"

She looked at him, "you're telling me you don't fucking remember?"

"No, I only remember having it where my arms and my head got hit, then it went black, and then I woke up over here… as we now… speak."

She sighed as this was going to be "fun". They ate, and during the meal Yugo asked, sounding guilty, "Um… about the little event…"

Jesse said, "Don't mention anything about it."

"Look, I want to apologize for that… and for any other instances down the road."

Jesse looked at him and asked, "I'm going to go with it for now, what's your idea?"

"Well, if I'm not barred still, maybe I could persuade a couple relatives to get everyone into the Christmas Sensation."

Jesse froze and asked, "Hold on, you don't mean…"

"Yeah, the famous Kalosian Quartet, I think."

She now was a bit puzzled, "And you're telling me that you're willing to give us a spot for it?"

"Sure, today's the 17th; it's only a week away."

Jesse and Eriktar looked to each other as they shrugged with Jesse looking back to Yugo, "Alright then, I'll agree to it."

They finished their food and both sides went back to their separate training, only Jesse told Yugo, "You stay here, I'll be right back."

She left, then returned minutes later with two makeshift swords. Yugo asked, "Um, I thought swords…"

She explained, "These aren't going to slice you. They're for, I guess, reference as it is going to test how well you actually fight with weapons, not just sticks."

"Oh…um, ok?"

"Good, now then, let's get this done."

She threw the left sword over as Yugo caught it and Jesse yelled, "Be alert, these things hurt!"

She got ready and charged once again at Yugo. The charge led to Yugo barely wielding the sword and then getting pushed back and thrown at the ground as Jesse stood above him, "Well, for someone who can use their fists, obviously you fail at holding a weapon."

Yugo said, "Hey, the only things I'm good at holding in my hands is a 'Dex and phone."

"It shows."

Yugo got up and then tried to use the sword, only to get his back bashed by Jesse's and then thrown across the floor. He got up and finally got the sword matched in pattern, blocking every attempt to defeat him. An uppercut with the sword threw it from his hands and into the bushes, only to end with Yugo getting the opposing sword bashed down on his shoulder making him scream out, "FUCK!"

He fell on his knees as Jesse sighed, "Get the sword."

He went into the bushes and got the sword, then got further dragged in by what appeared to be a Rattata…

Screaming and cursing was heard as a whole nest of those pesky rodents were attacking Yugo. After two minutes of horrible torture, Yugo came out with a sword that was the total opposite of him: unharmed. Yugo fell to the ground in exhaustion as he asked, "Is it alright if we could do something a bit simpler?"

Jesse rolled her eyes "Do you remember what I said yesterday?"

He groaned, "Twice the work today."

"Correct."

She picked him up and threw him the sword, then aimed hers and said, "Now, stand straight."

Yugo did so. "Sword in front."

Did so. "And try not to get hit."

Yugo asked, "Is this a fencing lesson?"

He got the sword swacked across his face, "AHHH!"

Jesse told him, "Calm down you oversized baby, it's not even a blade."

He took the sword and hit both her arms and threw her across the floor, "Still hurt like hell!"

Jesse got back up and kicked Yugo in the gut, but he retaliated by throwing the sword at her, then she knocked him on the floor again and the two kept repeatedly beating each other for both training and spite.

At the end of the session, Yugo took Reeka to the tent and one thing that he was finding weird, and even a little creepy, was how for the first time he saw Reeka have a smile on. He asked her, "So Reeka, what are you happy about?"

She replied, "Oh I got an idea."

He thought, 'That can't be good thing.', then asked, "What kind of idea?"

"It's a secret."

'Of course it's a secret.'

When they got to the tent, Rebecca was leaning against the canvas looking displeased. Yugo asked her, "Hey Rebecca, what happened this time?"

She sighed, "Judas being a dick, what else?"

"I thought you liked the guy?"

It stayed silent and then she answered, "Well, if he'd stop acting like a little douche, then maybe being around him would be better."

"How much of a douche can he be?"

"Whining about you and constantly thinking I'm some kind of whore, I don't know."

"Why the hell would he think you're a whore?"

"He just makes the eye movement that says that he thinks I'm one. Now why the hell are we going into that area?"

"Because you went into it first?"

She grunted and went inside the tent as Yugo did so too. They went into their bags and to sleep, but not Reeka. She pretended to be asleep, only to then get up and go to Yugo's head where she put her paws on both sides and began to emit a light blue glow.

(Over to Italy)

Italy was at the computer screen as he was having a talk with Lysander about his situation. He continued, "And every time I'd send someone over to get even the tiniest bit of info, they'd wind up dead and I'd get barely anything to use."

Italy nodded and asked, "So, how many of these Honoris cells are there?"

"Like I know. All Flare has in the data banks is that Honoris exists and this Society is in cooperation with it. Speaking of which, is that hitman job being done?"

"Well, aside from my Gardevoirs' protests…"

"Your wife?"

"No, no, the apostrophe comes after the s."

"Huh?"

"My wife and my hippy daughter."

"Oh."

"As I was saying, aside from the protests, fees, waivers, and a lot of searching, I finally got them to the location, but it seems that the luckiest you might get is all of them with the biggest chance being only Prof. Sycamore-of-him."

Lysander nodded, "And the GT?"

"What about it?"

"Well, it says in the paper that you left without finishing the questions."

"And?"

"What were they about?"

"The usual."

"Ok, fuck it, who the hell is going to show up?"

"Oh, why the hell didn't you say that? Basically we're allowing only very strong Pokémon to run in as a competitor."

Lysander asked, "You sure?"

Italy nodded, "Yes, now…"

He turned off the screen, and said, "Let's see what happens."

(At the Luminose Tower)

Inside was Clement, as he was currently in a chat with Korrina over the gym battle with Yugo. She's also talked about it to a few other gym leaders with in the area and at Luminose, but she began to say some things that seemed a bit unusual.

She explained, "He was much different from everyone else. Not just in terms of thinking three new Pokémon can fight, but the fact that he looked not too human."

Clement asked, "And why should I know?"

"Because, like I kinda told everyone else, from his hair alone, he's obviously part Zoroark."

"Really? Interesting. You aware of how well he fights?"

"Depending on if he can get all those Pokémon he has into something really good, then maybe."

Clement chuckled, "I doubt that."

"Hey, isn't that just like Ash?"

"Yes… but then there was that incident."

"Yes, I'm aware of when, were, and who. The "why" still is a mystery."

"Who knows what that professor's reasoning is."

As they talked, A Zoroark in another room of the tower was reading a book in his own free time. A call however got his attention as he reached over to grab the phone, picked it up and asked, "Hello?"

"Mortem, you there, no time to explain!"

"Mr. Sycamore?"

"Look, I don't have much time to get this done through. I just got word that there's a group of assassins coming our way and I don't know when they'll get here. I need you to get over here and pick all of us up."

"You're whole family, if I'm correct?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as…"

The sound of a door blasting open was heard as then someone yelled, "Surprise bitch!"

And then there were gunshots, several of them. Then the sound of shuffling as Sycamore hid in a closet. He whispered, "M-Mortem, hurry *now*!"

Mortem was already running to the exit, "I'm hurrying the…"

Then the sound of the closet door opened as another voice appeared, "Well, well, well, if it ain't the professor."

Sycamore begged, "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me!"

"We got paid, might as well do the job."

And three consecutive gunshots were the last sounds before the phone went dead. Mortem dropped the phone as he quickly headed to Clement.

(In Ecruteak city)

The legendaries have been alarmed officially by the Mewthree completion. However, what is known about it is that Rocket plans to send the Mewthree to the GT and cause entire obliteration. And as they were speaking, they needed to think of a way to get in and the easiest solution popped up when Suicune suggested, "What if we go in through the human form?"

The idea seemed pretty decent as they could in without too much commotion, however the three biggest concerns weren't just getting in, but how to blend in, get through and expose the whole GT setup, the criminals, and possibly get rid of all the troublemakers that would be there.

However, in the light of this, Rocket was having its issues besides the Mewthree as well. After yesterday's speech from Giovanni, there have been issues within trying to have the Flares shake hands with the Rockets. However, there was one Rocket there during the whole event that wasn't a Rocket, but a spy. She was working for the mysterious Honoris after what happened previously to her old life.

She entered through the doors of a corridor, to the end, and then walked into a conference room as one man was sitting at the edge of the table. He asked her, "Ah Gizel, you've returned from your little mission in Kanto."

The woman's cloak came off, revealing another Zoroark. She bowed as the man asked, "Hopefully it's what has been happening with more detail?"

She answered, "It is, very much."
