In Miror B.'s hideout, the Afro haired man stood on a raised platform dancing with three Ludicolos until Trudly and Folly came into his room. Miror B. Turned off the music and jumped from the platform.

"What do you two want?" He asked walking over to them with an arched eyebrow.

"Uh...we just found out from one of our sources that Wes is on his way here." Folly said nervously.

"Good," Miror B. replied. "You and everyone else get out, I want him to be at top strength. Hoo boy when I get my hands on him he's going to wish he never crossed paths with me."

"Um, master.."

"What!?"

"There's someone else whose here to see you."

"Tell them to leave!" Miror B. snapped. "I don't want to see any more idiots today!"

Miror B. turned around and went back to his platform.

"Oh, so I'm an idiot am I?" A new low voice said making Miror B. freeze in his tracks.

"Oh, M-Master Nascour!" He said with panic in voice. "I-I didn't know it was you sir! Of course I wasn't calling you an idiot! Why would Cipher's #2 be an idiot!?"

Miror B. rubbed the back of his neck and laughed worriedly.

"Spare me your rambling, fool." Nascour said way too calmly than Miror B. thought he would after what he just said. "I've heard that you're still having a problem with Wes and that girl."

"What!? N-No sir!" Miror B. said quickly.

"You said you had things under control." Nascour continued, arching an eyebrow at his Afro haired underling. "So why are two kids able to do as they please and prove to be an effective hindrance on our Shadow Pokemon distribution in this town?"

"Wait Sir! I promise you that I do have things under control!" Miror B. pleaded defensively. "I actually have the girl locked up in that back room and Wes is on his way here to rescue her. And when he does get here, I'll finish him off."

Nascour stared at Miror B. as if he could see into his soul. Even though he was wearing sunglasses Nascour could see the look of fear in Miror B.'s eyes clear as crystal. Nascour was a man that was feared throughout Cipher. However, It was not because he was close to their leader or that he was #2 of the criminal organization. It's because he was an extremely powerful Pokemon trainer. he was also cold, ruthless, and unmerciful to anybody who dared to cross his path. To get on his bad side was like signing your own death warrant.

With a wicked little smile that Miror B.'s hair stand on end he looked towards the direction of the back room where Rui was being held.

"You said you had the girl?" He asked.

"Yes Sir!" Miror B. responded quickly.

Nascour walked over to the door and stood in front of it.

"Open the door, let me see her." He ordered.

Without hesitation Miror B. opened the door and revealed Rui who was holding on to Plusle protectively. Her eyes shifted first to Miror B. and then to the man beside her she gasped when she recognized who he was.

"You!" She gasped. "Your that man, Wes and I saw in Phenac City."

Nascour chuckled and gave a smile that made Rui shiver as the Plusle in her arms trembled and buried it's face into her neck.

"Yes we did meet back then didn't we?" Nascour began. "How nice to see you again my dear. I do wish it were under better circumstances though. I've never been a fan of holding someone hostage."

"What are you rambling about!?" Rui asked as she stuck her tongue out at the two men.

The smile on Nascour's face faded away quickly when he saw her tongue.

"Are you sure it's wise to be doing that to me?" He asked arching an eyebrow. He then dug into the pocket of his robe and pulled out a Pokeball.

Rui gasped and dropped Plusle by accident before bringing her hands to her head as she felt an all too familiar pain.

"Ah, so you do have the ability to see them." Nascour said as he continued to hold the Pokeball.

"Don't act surprised." Rui snapped as the pain increased slightly. "You know I can see the Shadow Pokemon and can feel when they're near. That's why you kidnapped me before."

Nascour chuckled once more.

"Such a smart young lady." He began. "If you know this much, then surely you must know how much of a threat you are to us. You as well as that boy, Wes. You two have no idea what you have gotten yourselves into, my dear. You are trying to destroy what we have worked on for so long. Now you have gotten on our bad side."

"You think we care!?" Rui snapped again. "If you think we're going to let you get away with what you've been doing, you are sorely mistaken."

Nascour glared at the girl in front of him and walked up to her.

"You have a lot of guts to be talking to me like that especially in the situation you're in." He said rather coldly. However Rui refused to show fear again.

"Wes will rescue me! He's gonna make all of you pay for what you're doing!"

Hearing this made Nascour laugh evilly.

"Do you really think he has a fighting chance against me!?" He asked through his laughter he then walked over to Rui and cupped her face in his hand. "You have quite an imagination."

Wanting to get this man away from her, Rui slapped him hard across the cheek, making him fall back a little. Nascour's red eyes were wide with surprise and Miror B. gasped in total shock.

"Stay away from me!" Rui snapped.

A very low frightening growl escaped through the clenched teeth of Nascour.

"You just made a serious mistake my dear. A very serious mistake." He growled venomously making all the courage Rui gained drain away in a heartbeat. He then took back out the Pokeball from earlier. "It's time to teach you some respect."

With a quick flick of his wrist, he threw out the Pokeball. A flash of bright light appeared and it revealed a Pokemon that towered over the frightened Rui. The light vanished and Rui's eyes went wide with terror as she saw a huge blue Pokemon with a white X over it's face and menacing red eyes.

"M-Metagross!?" Rui stammered in fear.

She suddenly saw a black aura form around that large Pokemon and it's red eyes flashed an ever deeper shade of red. With a loud deafening roar that made the room shake it raised it's giant leg over Rui's head and pushed downward. Rui screamed at the top of her lungs in terror and covered her frightened eyes as the foot came closer and closer. However no impact came.

Barely uncovering one of her eyes, She looked up and saw that Metagross was gone. She then looked at Nascour and saw a red light disappear into the Pokeball he was holding. He then walked over to her.

"Now then, are you going to behave like a good girl?" He asked calmly to Rui who was shaking like a leaf.

Rui was so frightened she couldn't even speak. All she could do was nod her head.

Nascour smiled and gently stroked the top of her head making her tense violently at his touch.

"Very good." He said before turning to Miror B who was still standing behind him. "I'm taking her with me. You stay here and deal with Wes."

Rui whimpered as Nascour reached for her arm.

"Wait a minute!" Miror B. suddenly shouted making both Nascour and Rui eye him. "Uh, w-why don't you leave her here."

"Why would I do that?" Nascour asked rather calmly making Miror B shiver at his tone.

"B-Because sir, the only reason Wes is comin' here is to save her so I'm kinda usin' her as bait. I'm sure you've got better things to do than deliver her to the boss. So why don't you leave that burden to me. Once I finish off Wes, I'll take her to the boss myself."

It was a tense moment of silence but eventually Nascour released Rui's arm and walked over to Miror B.

"Very well, but if you fail," He said in a cold icy tone of voice. "I would forget even showing your face to our leader unless you want to end up like all of our other failures."

Miror B. gulped an nodded his head violently.

With nothing left to be said Nascour walked out of the room and Miror B. slammed Rui's door shut. Rui shook violently. These people were insane she was just a kid and she was about to be killed by a savage Pokemon. She felt that there was no way she and Wes could defeat these monsters if they were this heartless. Suddenly she felt pressure on her lap. Looking down, she saw Plusle climbing up her body when it was nose to nose with her it brushed her tears away with it's paw and nuzzled her cheek. Rui couldn't help but smile and she pet the little Pokemon softly.

"I can't give up on Wes yet. He's going to save us, I know he will!" She said into the air with hope in her voice.

Outside on the pyrite town streets, Wes ran past the civilians who tried to stop and congratulate him on his victory. As much as he wanted to say thank you, he knew he couldn't waste any time. Stopping to catch his breath for only a moment he looked around and saw Duking's office and a small building with a large tower nearby it.

"That must be where Miror B.'s hiding." He said.

Beginning to run again, he was stopped in his tracks by a familiar voice.

"Wes!"

Turning around, the young trainer saw Cail running his way.

"Hey I saw you compete at the Colosseum. You were awesome." He said with a smile.

"Thanks, but I don't have time to talk!" Wes said quickly as he turned around.

"Hold up man, where's your girlfriend?" Cail asked.

"First of all, she's not my girlfriend." Wes said with a slight blush. "Second of all, that's the reason I don't have time to talk, Miror B. kidnapped her and is holding her hostage at his hideout."

"What!?" Cail said in surprise. "Then we need to find out where he's hiding and tell the police!"

"No!" Wes said quickly. "Miror B. probably has them under his control as well. I know where he's hiding, so I'll deal with him myself. You and everybody else need to stay out of this. This is my fight and mine alone."

After a moment of silence Cail slowly nodded his head.

"Alright, well good luck." He said before running in the opposite direction.

Looking down at his Pokemon Wes nodded to them and they nodded back before running towards the building where Miror B. was hiding.

Upon arrival at his destination Wes kicked the door open with a Pokeball in his hand. Espeon and Umbreon were both ready to fight only for all of them to realize that there was nobody to fight at all. Wes looked around the abandoned room with a confused look on his face.

"Where is everybody? If this is Miror B.'s hideout then this place should be crawling with guards."

He began running through the tower and just like in the lobby there was nobody around. He simply didn't understand what was going on. Was this place really Miror B's hideout or was he walking right into an ambush? Reaching the top of the tower and guessing Miror B. was inside, Wes took a breath and prepared himself for battle along with his Pokemon. He kicked open the door and rushed inside only to find the room as empty as the rest of the tower.

"Seriously!? What the hell's going on!?" He shouted in frustration. "Where is he!? Where's Rui!? Where's anybody!?" Eventually his eye caught something shining on a table nearby.

"What's that?"

Walking over to what caught his attention, he discovered that it was a notebook.

Ein File H

"Ein File H?"

Picking up the notebook and opening it, Wes read what was inside.

"Hyper Mode"

Shadow Pokemon of their overwhelming power, may behave abnormally at times. They may engage in such behavior as ignoring orders, even turning on their own trainers in battle. This I have named "Hyper Mode"

On the Plus side Hyper Mode raises the critical ration of Shadow Rush. However, Hyper Mode also prevents the use of items on the Pokemon. Hyper Mode is easily dispelled. Simply call the Pokemon by name. However, this method has a major drawback.

Calling the Shadow Pokemon's name causes the closed door of it's heart to loosen and even open. Further Research is urgently needed.

Shadow Pokemon Lab Chief: Ein

Wes stood with his mouth hung open. He was flabbergasted at what he just read.

"T-This is," He stammered.

He had just discovered important information about Shadow Pokemon!

"This is amazing! I don't know who this Ein guy is but thank you for being an idiot and giving important information to an even bigger idiot!"

Wes smiled at the notebook for a moment before putting in his coat pocket.

"I better save this and show it to Rui after I get her back."

Running back out the door Wes made his way back down the tower with Ein File in hand. He eventually came back down to the lobby but before he left he heard a muffled sound.

"Whose there!?" Wes shouted grabbing a Pokeball while Espeon and Umbreon stood ready to fight.

The muffled sound came again and Wes saw it coming from a nearby table. Looking over the table he gasped in surprise when he saw someone tied up under it. It was a young man with blond hair and he was wearing a silver shirt and shorts. How did Wes not hear or notice him earlier? Not pondering for long, Wes quickly undid the rope and removed the cloth he had around his mouth.

"Thank you so much!" The young man said.

"No problem," Wes replied "Who are you?"

"The names Silva!" The young man responded.

"Silva...Oh! You must be Duking's lieutenant!"

"That's right I am!"

"So who did this to you?"

"It was Miror B." Silva replied.

"What!?"

Silva nodded his head.

"I came here wanting to stop Miror B. but I was easily defeated by the guards in this tower. I eventually saw Miror B. himself and I demanded that he give back Duking's Plusle but then I was hog tied and silenced. He then ran off with two other men who were carrying a burlap sack big enough to stuff a human inside."

"Rui..."

Wes pulled Silva up by his shoulders.

"Where did they go!? They kidnapped a friend of mine and I need to save her!"

Silva immediately pointed behind Wes.

"You see that window over there!? You can see a cave behind the tower; that's where they went."

Wes smiled and nodded his head thankfully.

"Get out of here and don't tell Duking. This battle between Miror B. and myself is personal. I'm gonna go into that cave and finish this once and for all."

Not even waiting for a response Wes ran out of the room with his Pokemon right behind him.

"That kid's got guts." Silva said. "But I've heard how tough Miror B. is. I hope he knows what he's doing."

Author's Note:

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

I know people having been waiting for the fight between Wes and Miror B. but I felt that the Ein files were important and shouldn't be overlooked. So I decided to make somewhat of a filler chapter before the next one which is the big chapter.

With that said next chapter is the big rematch. Wes vs. Miror B. with Rui, Plusle, and Pyrite Town all on the line!

I'll see you next chapter. :)
