Chapter 5: The New Assignment

Sinnoh- 1 PM

Kalos- 8 PM

It was evening by the time Frost returned to the hotel with Ninetale's pokeball in hand, he looked at it and sighed clutching it ever so tightly. Soon he was greeted by the receptionist.

"What happened at the plaza Frost?" the man asked while managing a folder.

"Oh so you have heard." Frost said looking tired.

"Not just me everyone has heard about it, although I must admit you somehow managed to keep your face hidden throughout the whole situation."

"Well it was not Ninetales fault we were walking in the plaza when suddenly this group of people saw her and approached her recklessly, I even warned them about keeping distance but an Idiot had to go and try to touch her." Frost tried to explain.

"Then what happened?"

"Ninetale's used blizzard and the rest is history, I was taken to the police station by an officer to the station but thankfully Jenny recognized me and was able to keep me of the news."

"Tough day."

Frost didn't reply and straight away left for his room. While he was leaving the receptionist looked at the news clipping in his phone which showed a picture of a completely destroyed and iced road.

(Just one blizzard you say.) he thought as he resumed his work.

Soon after his conversation with the receptionist Frost unlocked his room and immediately lied on the bed.

(Maybe it was too early of me to take Ninetales out again, man and I really thought the meeting with Viola yesterday helped her, maybe I was a bit too optimistic.) he thought when his pokegear rang.

"Yes" he said in a stern voice.

"Ranger your new assignment is ready please contact Captain Forester for the necessary details." said the operator from the other side.

"I will thank you." said Frost as he cut the call and went to his study wasting no time switching the Laptop on and contacting Captain Forester.

When the call connected Forester was revealed to be a man in his early 50's and had a veteran appearance overall, he was the handler of the Ranger's in the specialist division. Frost sprang up on his feet and saluted his senior to which came an hand gesture which said 'settle down'.

"Good evening Frost how has Kalos been for you, heard your Ninetales froze the city's plaza." he asked without any worry.

Frost only responded with a look on his face that clearly stated 'Not funny sir'

"Uhem… anyways Frost about your next assignment it's in Lumious City where your job is to escort the Champion of Sinnoh to the meeting of Champions which is at Lumious Tower."

"So the meeting is happening in Kalos only." confirmed Frost.

"Yes that is why I asked you to cancel your assignment in Hoenn."

"But Sir with all due respect, I have to escort her, like a bodyguard." asked Frost not sure about his orders.

"For the time being yes, I still can't say anything in detail but right now you should just focus on getting Cynthia to Lumious Tower safely."

"Why such extreme measures to involve the Ranger Corp for such a trivial task?" questioned Frost.

"It's just a hunch but the P.L.A feels that the lives of the Champions is at risk."

"What!" exclaimed Frost.

"Yes, also Mr. Goodshow personally contacted for the assistance of the Rangers as a matter of fact each member of your squad has been assigned to a different Champion."

"I see…."

"Champion Cynthia is at Sinnoh Airport right now waiting to board a commercial airliner to Kalos ensure her safe arrival Frost." added Forester in a stern voice.

"Yes Sir."

"Your equipment will be delivered to you by tomorrow noon and any further details regarding the mission has been sent to your Pokegear, are we clear."

"Yes" replied Frost.

"Ranger listen carefully" Forester said in a serious tone, "the meeting of Champions is the beginning of something big so a lot is at stake here so protect the Champion at any cost, good luck out there Forester out." with that the transmission cut.

Soon after going through the files on Cynthia and the assignment on his Pokegear Frost decided to check on Ninetales so he called her out of her premiere ball, but as soon as coming out she ran under the bed of Frost's room and was whimpering in fear.

"Come out Ninetales I am not angry with you." said Frost reassuringly.

"Nine nine…"

"Yes I know you are sorry for what you did but don't be it wasn't your fault, if anyone is to blame it's me for taking you out of your comfort zone this early." added Frost.

"Nine…."

Now Frost bent down on one knee and said.

"Ninetales I am not blaming you for what happened so don't feel sad." as softly as he could.

Now Ninetales finally came out and Frost responded by taking her in a hug.

"No one will hurt you as long as I am alive, don't you ever think that you are alone okay." whispered Frost loud enough for Ninetales to hear it.

Shortly after Ninetales calmed down and Frost stopped hugging her.

"Feel better?" he asked the snow fox.

The Pokemon simply nodded.

"Good because we have work to do."

"Nine?" replied the pokemon looking confused.

"Yes we will be leaving for Lumious City after dinner, we have been tasked to protect this person." explained Frost as he showed a picture of Cynthia to Ninetales.

Afterwards while looking at Cynthia's picture himself Frost thought

(This person why does she remind me of her…) before starting to pack his luggage.

Author's Notes:

Well here you have it folks another chapter, originally this chapter was supposed to have a Cynthia POV as well but I decided to omit it and add it to the next chapter as it is more suited for it as this chapter mainly focused on Frost's relation with his Ninetales. If you enjoy reading my work please comment and share your views on the story I appreciate your views. As always don't forget to follow my work to not miss an update and feel free to write reviews.
