Please Read and Review.
(Now Safe and Sound in the Sky a Little later that Day. Rayquaza breaks through a couple of cloud covers, and flies with purpose. Inside the Metal Building on Rayquaza's Back, Various computers line the walls. As Greninja Says).
Greninja: Now that is how I like to start the day! You never feel more alive than when you are almost defeated. (Liepard goes and begins Scanning Lycanroc).
Liepard: I hope that device did not fall off. (Lycanroc ignores this saying).
Lycanroc: That is the closest I ever been to missing my flight! That was... (Then Liepard dispatches a Robotic Arm, Liepard grabs the Device that Zoroark hid deep in the fur of Lycanroc's Tail. Then Liepard uses the Arm to yank it out making Lycanroc Jump in pain as it Gooses Him!). Yow! (The Device Retracts and comes back to Liepard and smiles upon seeing it).
Liepard: Still in one piece, great. (Liepard drops the device into a mainframe computer. It starts "Analyzing" it).
Lycanroc: I gotta go to a doctor, I keep getting these sharp pains in my Tail. (Then Liepard turns to the computer and says while subtly admitting to herself that Lycanroc's oddness and eccentricities are oddly charming).
Liepard: Downloading the photo now. (Then Lycanroc says remembering something).
Lycanroc: Hey, lemme introduce you two. (Lycanroc Says to Liepard). This here is Greninja McSomething-or- other. He is a First-Class VIP airport Whatchamacallit. (Greninja and Liepard exchange Looks with each other, both silently deciding to humor Lycanroc on their Familiarity to each other). And Greninja, this here is my date. (Liepard blushes a little upon hearing this while Greninja sends her a sly smile as Lycanroc Says to Liepard). Uh, I never did get your name. (Liepard gasps silently upon realizing this and formally introduces herself to Lycanroc).
Liepard: Oh yes, sorry, my Name is Liepard. Liepard. (Then Lycanroc says to Greninja with a semi-goofy look on his face).
Lycanroc: Her Name is Liepard. Liepard. (Then they hear a "DING!" The computer's analysis of the Photo is complete. The cabin lights begin to dim. Then Greninja says).
Greninja: Finally. Time to see who is behind all this. (Then an Image appears between the three of them. It is of a photograph, a complicated mélange of Clearly random parts all together. Among the things in the Picture, Lycanroc sees the top of a Green Body in the Middle of the Picture with four arms in the Corner of its body. A Can of Light Blue Paint was in top right Corner. There was a box of triangular shaped claws in the bottom right Corner of the Picture that looked oddly familiar to Lycanroc. And in the Top Left Corner was a Black Jug of something, with a Sticker that Says, "CAUTION! DO NOT OPEN!" Under the Sticker is a message that is in Part faded, but what Lycanroc can make out says, "THIS BEL_S TO _CING SPON_ _ _ LEADER ME_!" The Rest was completely ineligible to Lycanroc due to how faded it is. Suffice it to say, this is baffling to Lycanroc to say the least. Lycanroc keeps staring at the Picture for A Couple more seconds before the silence is too much for Liepard to bare as she breaks the silence and asks Exspectantly).
Liepard: What is this? (Lycanroc does not know how to answer the question really and says).
Lycanroc: Well, that is one of the worst bodies ever made. It looks old with a bunch of work on it to keep it going. Shoot, them work is a pain, tell you what. Them ain't Metallic, they ain't Psychotic. (Liepard gets all this but asks the real question she wants answered).
Liepard: Yes, OK, right. But whose Body is this, Lycanroc?
Lycanroc: Well, it is kinda hard to tell from this picture, ain't it? (Liepard is in shock by Lycanroc's inability to name the individual here, believing that he took the picture after all but what he says is alluding to the opposite and asks).
Liepard: But you are the one who took it. (Then Greninja says reminding Liepard of the Occasional risks associated with their Line of Work).
Greninja: Liepard.
Liepard: Oh, right. Yes, of course. "A good agent gets what he can, then gets out before He is no more". Sorry. (This surprises Lycanroc making him say).
Lycanroc: Agent? You mean like insurance agent, like, (Then Lycanroc begins Singing). ? 'Like a good neighbor, Lycanroc is there'? (Then Lycanroc stops realizing what they are truly talking about). Wait, you mean secret agents. You all are spies! (Greninja turns to Liepard and asks).
Greninja: Liepard, what is the number of Pokémon Egg Types did this type of Body Shape appear? (Liepard has these stats in seconds as if it were Kid's play).
Liepard: It was standard in 17 Body Shapes and the Mineral Egg Group over a 20 Plus-year period. At least 53 Pokémon came into the world with Egg Group. (Lycanroc Moves His Seat Forward, through one part of the hologram so He is face-to-face with Liepard and says with his Goofy look on his Face).
Lycanroc: You are pretty. (Liepard is annoyed but a little flattered by this).
Liepard: Yes, all right. Thank you.
Lycanroc: And so nice.
Liepard: Just pay attention. (She moves the photo, so it is now blocking Lycanroc again. Then Lycanroc keeps moving his chair so he can see Liepard clearly without having the Photo block his view of her. But Each time, Liepard just moved the photo until she enlarges the Photo enough to come close enough to filling the entirety of the Projection Screen).
Greninja: This seems like a dead end. If there were something in the photo that could narrow this down a bit, I would be a ton happier. (Then Lycanroc Chimes in saying).
Lycanroc: You might not be happy, but I bet this feller is. See how he has had a ton of his parts replaced? And see all of them boxes over there? Them's all original parts. They ain't easy to come by. (Liepard Highlights the box full of Triangular Claw Shaped Claws, Lycanroc mentioned and drags the Picture over the rest to have it zoom in. This makes it so the Box is the focus of the Picture. This intrigues both Greninja and Liepard as she says).
Liepard: Rare parts.
Greninja: That is something we can track.
Liepard: Exactly! (Then Liepard drops her screen down and the Projection Screen device retreats to the ceiling).
Greninja: Well, done, Lycanroc! Because I would never have seen that. (Greninja then Says to Liepard), I know of a Top-Secret parts dealer in Lumiose City, a treacherous lowlife. But He is the only Pokémon in the world who can tell us whose engine this is. (Greninja then turns to Lycanroc to ask). Lycanroc, what would you say to setting up an informal task force on this one? (Lycanroc is confused by the Question and says).
Lycanroc: Wait, what?
Greninja: You obviously have a ton of experience in the field.
Lycanroc: Well yes, I live right next to one. (Lycanroc Thinks about it before looking down sadly). I Do Not know, Greninja. I ain't exactly been a great deal of help to anybody recently.
Greninja: You are helping me. Please, Lycanroc. (Liepard gives a Gentle Smile. And then Lycanroc reluctantly agrees saying).
Lycanroc: Well, okay. But you know I am just a Lycanroc, right? (Then Greninja says semi-Sarcastically).
Greninja: Right. And I am just in the import/export business. (Then Greninja says to Rayquaza). Rayquaza?
(Still Flying Carefully, Rayquaza responds to Greninja's Calling saying).
Rayquaza: Yes, Greninja?
(Back inside the Metal Building on Rayquaza's Back, Greninja Says to Rayquaza).
Greninja: Lumiose City. Tout de suite. (Lycanroc misunderstands the words Greninja and says to Rayquaza as well).
Lycanroc: Yes, two of them sweets for me too, Rayquaza! (Lycanroc turns to Liepard and says to her sweetly). You know, I always wanted to be a spy. (Liepard says Smiling Sweetly).
Liepard: Really? Me too.
(Outside Rayquaza asks Greninja).
Rayquaza: Extreme Speed, sir?
(Back inside, Greninja responds as if Rayquaza just asked a Rhetorical Question).
Greninja: Is there any other way? (And Just Like that Rayquaza Hits the Boosters, and they Blast off to Lumiose City, Kalos Region).
