Wes, Yuki and Ron made their way into the hideout along with the two eons.

Yuki seemed to be thinking on something and while keeping up

Wes noted this and looked at Yuki "you okay."

Yuki said "I'm okay…" She blinked and looked at Wes with sad eyes "Wes, did you and one of the peon girls…"

"Share a hotel room?" he finished. He exhaled in depression "yeah we did but we kept it clean," He admitted "I don't mess around on a first date."

"He's telling the truth" Espeon replied as both he and Umbreon were running next to them "he didn't mess around, this time."

Yuki hummed "I know we haven't made it official but…"

Wes said "I know, I won't betray you like that or ever hand you over to Cipher. I do have feelings for you Yuki and I don't want you hurt."

Yuki smiled "thanks Wes."

Ron said "come on, we got to catch up to the girls."

Yuki turned confused "huh but didn't they give you two the key to the cave"

Ron chuckled "that was my house key. Ferma and Reath are up in the office doing what Miror B told them to do. With Nore arrested, they won't have to worry about him reporting anything to Miror B and we've already made an agreement."

Yuki said "what type of agreement?"

"We give them time to clean the office and escape the cops; they give Wes a chance to battle and snag their two shadow pokemon." Ron replied

"You're helping them escape from the law?" Yuki muttered lowly

"Yep" Ron said "Ferma and Reath aren't real criminals, just girls who got roped into doing petty things for a crime boss."

"they are kinda like me, Yuki." Wes said "they see they are doing the wrong thing and are working their way to redemption. They just need a little time."

Yuki hummed "I guess I can let them find their own path to redemption." She replied, "after all you got a second chance Wes."

Wes smiled "and I'm using it. Now come on, we'll go the long way around to give the girls as much time as we can"

Yuki hummed "right."

The trio made it through the abandoned hideout and soon came up to the main office. Wes knocked on the door

"Who is it?" Ferma asked innocently

"It's the Snag Master open up." Wes replied

The door opened and Ferma was standing there with a small backpack on her back "time's up?" She said

Wes gave a serious nod "time's up, the police are dealing with Nore as we speak, he's been captured and we suggested that he was the last one here. You girls should be clear.

"good." Reath said as she too had a bag on her shoulders, "we're done here, they'll have a very hard time proving anything about us."

Wes said "now about our arrangement."

Ferma held out a pokéball "You can have your seer girl check but this is the pokemon that I was given by Miror B to use in battle."

Wes blinked then took the ball "you're just giving it to me."

Reath hummed and handed her pokemon over as well "We agreed that there's not enough time for us to fight you and Ron, and our pokemon are not fully suited for combat without water."

Wes said "They are Fish species Pokemon?"

Ferma nodded "A Mantine and Remoraid."

Ron hummed "that interesting." He commented, "How did Miror B expect you two to fight against opponents using them?"

Ferma gave a shrug of her shoulders "we already agreed he's crazy." She replied

Wes hummed "indeed you did." He pocketed the two pokéballs "well, that's clears that. I think you two should hurry and get out before the police come in to secure the building"

Ferma nodded then looked at Ron then ran over and embraced him "Once the heat blows over, we'll go back to hanging together okay Ron."

Ron held her and said "yeah definitely,"

Ferma took off

Reath approached Wes and was about to embrace him but then noticed Yuki and got a slight serious look then looked at Wes "if things had been different Wes, I think we could have had something. I really did enjoy our date and your company"

"I know and I enjoyed yours too" Wes replied in seriousness "but once a night of fun is over we have to go back to our reality and just accept what comes with it." He smiled to encourage her "now go on, get out of here."

Reath hummed as she nodded and walked a few feet to pass Yuki who was watching her go "Words of advice girlfriend, don't lose him, he's a keeper." She took off

Yuki blinked. "A keeper…" She muttered

Ron hummed "well that was fun, what's next."

A computer tone playing an incoming video call was heard from inside the office.

Espeon turned tense "Wes, we better answer that call."

Wes blinked "huh? what for Espeon?"

Espeon said "just do it okay, it's important"

Wes hummed and entered into the office. The monitor on the screen had an icon with an incoming call. Wes went over and answered it

A familiar faced man silver haired man in a purple outfit appeared on the screen

Wes gained a frown "Nascour" He muttered

Nascour turned interested as if he was surprised to see Wes on the other side then gave a light chuckle "well well, so we meet again Wes, I thought that was you in Phenac." He looked at Yuki "and this must be the seer girl I've been hearing about, Yuki Mieri, is that right."

Yuki hummed "yes, that is my name"

Nascour chuckled "yes I thought the name Mieri was familiar. Your family name is well known Miss Yuki."

Ron and Wes looked at Yuki then at Nascour "it is?" They muttered in confusion.

Nascour chuckled "her grandfather is a well known pokemon master and there have been tales of the latent psychic based abilities within both the males and females of the Mieri family. These abilities allow them to sense darkness within the heart and if trained they can sense other things."

Yuki said, "How do you know so much about my family."

Nascour said "you can say I have connections that give out the information, just like the legend spirit Guide. You wouldn't believe how much power can be found from just a little knowledge."

"what do you want from me?" Yuki demanded, "I know I can see the aura on Shadow Pokemon but I'm not doing that on purpose."

Nascour said "What I wanted was for you to not interfere with Cipher's plan but since we have been unable to do that. We may have to resort to measures that I would normally avoid.

Yuki said "measures like kidnapping?"

Nascour hummed as he shook his head "no far worse. I'm talking about measures with destruction and death in them similar to the order I told my color trio to do to you when I detected that you were easily overpowering Miror B. Peons."

Yuki gasped

Ron grunted

Wes growled "what are you planning Nascour."

Nascour chuckled "now if I told you that, I would place more stress on you then I would really want to do. Have no fear for the moment there will be no need for a drastic measure this early in our little game. Continue on your little quest to save Duking's plusle. I've already marked Miror B off our grid because in truth he and his little street gang are just too unreliable. We didn't even give him a special subject to work with, but do be warned once you defeat Miror B. The only way you will have any peace at all is to defeat all of Cipher admins and our trainers that we have converted to the darkness and to snag all our Shadow pokemon." He smiled evilly "I ask you Wes, are you prepared and willing to face the darkness, even the darkness within your own soul."

Wes smirked "prepared, definitely, all I need is my pokemon, and my friends. As for being willing, well Nascour let's just say when someone gives me a challenge, I never back down. So come on bring on your darkness, I'm not afraid of it."

Nascour laughed "oh you'll see Wes, there more to darkness then just fear but that will come on it's own time. Until we meet again."

Nascour vanished from the screen.

Ron looked at Wes in shock and said "dude who was that?"

Wes turned and said, "that was Nascour, the head admin of Cipher," He answered

Miror B appeared on the screen

"you think Miror B is bad." Wes continued "He's chicken feed compared to Nascour."

Ron whistled

"Wha… Who you calling chicken feed darling." Miror B whined "you trying to upset my rhythm."

Wes groaned "oh great, afro at 9-oclock." He looked at Miror B "alright Miror B. It's time to end this, there's no way you can escape. We've got your building surrounded, and all paths to the surface and under cut off."

Miror B laughed "you think that can stop me. I still have Duking's little pet Plusle." He turned to the side to show that behind him in a cage was Plusie

"Help! Help!" Plusie called out in a high pitched squeak

Yuki gasped "you better not harm Plusie Miror B."

Miror B laughed "Oh I won't harm it at all. Now the researchers are a different question all together, I've heard their production rate has been quite low considering how many pokemon has been turned over."

Wes growled "You won't get away."

Miror B laughed "You can't stop me from escape but I am willing to stick around to trade it for a bigger prize."

Wes said "huh?"

Miror B said "hand Yuki Mieri over to me, and you can have Duking's Plusle no questions asked."

Yuki gasped

"uh huh," Wes muttered "and if I agree, where would we make this exchange?"

Miror B said "why right here in my personal dance arena."

Ron said "deep in Pyrite Cave."

Miror B said "yes."

Wes said "and how will you escape once we make the exchange?"

Miror B laughed and said "oh ho ho, I have my subtle ways."

Wes smirked "like maybe a secret emergency exit?"

Miror B laughed "yep and I'm sure Ein would be most pleased with be able to study Yuki Mieri so much so I may just get what I want from Cipher."

Wes said "and what's that?"

Miror B said "my own city where the grooviest, most happening, pokemon battles occur."

Wes scoffed "small dreams compared to Cipher. They want the world"

Miror B said "oh of course and I'll be glad to assist them in their conquest just as long as I get my own city at the end of the fight. I'm very easy to get along with just as long as I get what I want and that's a place to dance the night away. If you want to make this exchange just come on down darling, You and Yuki, and your pokemon no other surprises or trainers."

"Fine." Wes replied "we'll be there."

Miror B hung up and the screen turned dark

Ron looked at Wes "Wes you aren't thinking of making that exchange."

Wes said "no, but that doesn't mean we are going to let him get away with Plusie. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that's allowed me to get past anyone who thinks they are smart."

Ron said "more of that thief's intuition."

Wes said "more like the skills of a thief but yeah." He hummed "listen Ron, I don't know what will happen but go back out to Duking and tell him to hold his position until Yuki and I get back

Ron said "Dude, I hate sending you and Yuki in there alone. Duking going to hate it too"

Wes said, "Just don't follow us into Pyrite Cave like you said the place is unstable and we're dealing with a desperate and unstable Cipher Admin."

Ron hummed "and that combination is never good." He finished then sighed "Be careful alright,"

Wes hummed as he nodded.

Yuki said "we'll be careful Ron."

"Good Luck." Ron said as he skated off.

Author's Notes

*Pants as he finishes climbing over a massive brick wall labelled Writer's Block.*

Yeah I know that was a lame way to escape a battle sequence between Wes, Ron and Ferma and Reath and I didn't include fighting through a bunch of thugs as you climb through the building. In my opinion most of the battles in Pyrite Building and Cave are just for level grinding and purification, and the Shadow Pokemon you catch are at best just pokemon to give you multiple types to work with when they are purified and besides how can someone realistically use a Mantine and a Remoraid out of the water. I know they 'float' in mid-air for the games and I was having the biggest headache on how to explain the physics in battle. Once I got past that, the rest of the data just flowed within a couple of hours. I may conclude this part of the story after the 'boss battle' with Admin Miror B but if I have the time I will continue the story continuing the adventures of Wes and Yuki as they take on Cipher in it's full force of admins and trainers. I can't promise more chapters soon but I will not just discontinue a story because of the amount of time it takes to complete. Coliseum and XD Gale of Darkness is still my favorite pokemon game
