Yo! It's time to take a slight transition from the gang, to the evil team of PKL, Team Genez. Not everything will be revealed about them, but the main point of the chapter is to cause some major hype!
El Torro: Oh no, Hawlucha didn't get a Synchro. Alexis and Molly are true friends, lol, but you should've known Molly would be great a contests. It's in her blood. And I'm liking the predictions too!
ShadowDragon9000: I'm glad it was a good read! Both of them really gave it their all, even though I think Molly would've beaten Hawlucha Angel Mode in a real battle. And Zoey, believe it or not, will help the group out. I know, it's hard to think about, but trust me!
Warrior of Hope: Don't worry, I've been slacking off too. I need to get back into the swing of things. And where else is the Wallace Cup in a story. I think the only other story with one was MonefernoFreak's Unova Capers. And those predictions might potentially happen!
potat lasaro: Thanks! But Hawlucha didn't get a Synchro. I actually don't know how I would work that with the geyser of energy and such. I hope the next arcs keeps you pumped up!

Chapter 44: Team Genez: Commanders of Life and Death
"Attention all Genez members!" A voice boomed from the speakers. "Prisoner Heather has escaped! Repeat! Heather has escaped! Once you find her, restrain her immediately!" Red lights were flashed around the walls as a figure dashed through a hallway. The figure stopped in front of a door and eyed the keypad. They then punched the machine, causing sparks of electricity to fly and opened the door.
As the person walked inside, they saw a huge jar with a weird green blob inside. The figure ran up to the container and kicked it, breaking the glass. Water poured out as the green creature was caught by its savior. Once the person grabbed the creature, who woke up from the jar breaking, looked up in confusion at its hero. The only thing it saw was the human's silver hair. The silver haired figure ran down several hallways until they saw a vent. Picking the creature up, she opened the vent and pushed it inside and closed the vent.
The creature gave the human a baffled look. In return, the human shooed the creature off, which prompted it to move through the vents. Smiling, the human dashed off through the space. Making one last turn, the silver haired person looked a a huge door with an exit sign and ran through it. Looking out into the space, they saw the sky, trees, flying Pokemon, life. The human was about to take one last step until a lion blocked their path.
"Now Heather, why would you leave without saying goodbye?" a male voice asked faking his disappointment. "Geez, after all the hospitality I gave you too?" Heather looked up to see a man walking forward with a black and red suit. Over his heart was the Genez logo as his red hair danced with the wind. The man kneeled down and rubbed the male Pyroar, who purred in response.
"I was going to send a text," Heather spat out, fused with disrespect and sarcasm. The man laughed as he and his Pyroar stood within inches of the escapee.
"Brave girl," the Genez member complemented, giving the silver haired girl a round of claps. "Taking out multiple grunts and releasing Z1 takes strength and guts."
"Cut the crap, Blaze!" Heather roared, making Pyroar growl viciously at the teen. Blaze snapped his fingers, making his fire type calm down. The man's face changed from a smile to a glare as he grabbed a Poke Ball from his waist. He tossed it up and down in his hands, looking into Heather's brown eyes.
"You can easily leave once you've helped us," Blaze explained.
"I'll die before I help you!" Heather snapped, throwing her arm out.
"Ok, then do this," Blaze began. "What did the rebel do once she got caught?" Heather started to raise an eyebrow, which made the redhead smirk. "She fell into a deep sleep!"
Blaze opened the capsule in his hands and released a levitating ghost like creature with huge arms.
Dusknoir, the Gripper Pokémon. This feared Pokémon is said to travel to worlds unknown. Some even believe that it takes lost spirits along with it.
"Hypnosis, then Nightmare!"
Dusknoir extended his hands out and shot a purple wave at Heather. The girl couldn't resist the attack and dropped to her knees. She picked up her already heavy head and looked dizzying at the trio in front of her. Pyroar had a sick smirk, Dusknoir held a ring of black matter, and Blaze glared at Heather.
"Sweet dreams, Heather," Blaze whispered, as Heather fell asleep. His ghost type tossed the ring over Heather, which swallowed her in a dark orb before disappearing. Heather laid out, shaking on the ground.

"How is Heather's condition?" Blaze asked, sitting on an office chair. A scientist appeared on a screen, showing other scientists and a restrained Heather, who had cords attached to her body then a machine.
"She's still in your Dusknoir's Nightmare," the worker answered. "Once she wakes up, we'll start extracting the cipher from her. However, we still haven't gotten far with her strong will, not to mention the power of the Nightmare will most likely expand for days."
"Are you blaming me for that?" Blaze inquired, making the scientist quickly say no. "Dusknoir's Nightmare will weaken Heather's mental will, which will make getting the locations of Xerneas and Yveltal quicker. Now, make sure to be ready when the Nightmare finishes." Not even waiting for a response, Blaze pressed a button and hung up. His Pyroar walked towards his trainer and laid on his lap. The Genez Team Leader pressed a different button on his keyboard as a grunt appeared on the screen.
"Sir!" he exclaimed, bowing to Blaze. The leader waved his hand, waiting for the grunt to stop.
"Make sure Cruz, Lucy, and Swift come to my study," Blaze ordered. The grunt nodded and quickly ran off after he ended the transmission. After a few minutes of waiting, three humans walked through Blaze's door. Cruz was the same with his aqua hair.
Lucy had short purple hair that was in buns. In similar style of Serenity, she had a silver dress with a purple belt, but this dress was sleeveless. The Genez logo laid over her heart as she even had matching G earrings. A silver gauntlet was strapped to her left arm.
The second male was dressed in a silver and purple ninja suit. On his right arm was a silver gauntlet and had white bandages wrapped around his arms. His face was covered by a ninja mask, but only showed his yellow eyes.
"Cruz, what news did Brett and Serenity give from Reflection Cave?" Blaze question one of his lieutenants.
"They've found 4 relic stones from the cave," Cruz answered. Blaze smirked as he began to nod his head at the good news. "So that brings our total up to 7 Relic Stones. Only 7 more to get."
"Blaze, I heard that Heather escaped. Did someone bring her back?" Lucy asked her boss.
"I took care of it," Blaze answered matter-of-factly. "But the reason I called you three here is for special tasks. Since Heather released Z1 and destroyed most of our research, I need Lucy and Cruz to 'convince' Augustine Sycamore of helping us."
"Great. I love convincing people," Cruz said, chuckling a bit.
"You two will take a squad of grunts to Lumiose City just in case of any surprise interruptions," Blaze added. "Swift, you will take the Shadow Squad and hunt for Z1 around Route 13 for it. Arnold should also be aware of the situation while he's at the Power Plant. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir!" the trio answered in unison. They bowed and walked out of the redhead's study, leaving him and his Pyroar alone.
"When can we get back into action?" Pyroar inquired. Blaze chuckled and patted the fire type's head.
"I don't know. But if we ever have to," Blaze started, looking on his desk. A picture frame laid on the object as the man picked it up. Two adults with red hair and two kids, male and female, with the same colored hair, poised in a picture. "Let's remember what we're fighting for."

'Z1' was moving along in a grassy area, sweat all over its body. Suddenly, the green creature dropped to the ground from exhaustion, eyes closed. In the same proximity of the unknown creature, a flying figure held a cluster of flowers in its arms. Once it saw the unconscious 'Z1', it dropped the flowers and picked the green creature and began to fly off.
So, that happened. Basically, I told and hid lots of things during this. Now, to some questions!
Thoughts on the two new lieutenants?
Blaze hype? Heather hype? Both?
Any ideas on what Z1 or its savior is?
It's a longshot, but any theories on the picture Blaze was looking at?
