A collection of Short Stories about Myst, a Zorua Assassin.

3. Mission: Investigation in Castelia

Castelia City in Unova. One of the largest places of the region. And currently under the hold of a crime organization that steals Pokemon by attacking their owners and leave them heavily wounded behind. They call themselves the Grabbers and it is told that they sell the stolen Pokemon at the highest bidders.

The Police is doing their best but the gang manage to always escape and no clues about their hideout were found. Not even as the police staged a buying interest. It got even worse after the adept as now the Pokémon of the police gets targeted.

So the local Gym Leader Burgh went to contact somebody of his trust to help to deal with the organization before leaving temporary the city to protect himself.

One evening some members of the gang spotted a boy with a long brown ponytail and six Pokeballs on the belt. Grinning to each other, the grunts moved to intercept the boy while hiding their different weapons on their body to take him out quickly with them.

As he got close to the group, they pulled him aside and press him at a wall. Grinning the leader asks "Want to to be beaten until you are unconscious or until we broke every bone in you?"

He sighed loudly and looked him. "Look maybe you think that I'm an easy target, knowing your reputation, but leave me warn you. Keeping going as that, and you will meet serious problems."

"Really? And who will force us to leave you alone? You?"

"Me? Not." He replied and signaled behind them. When they turned around, they found a large Tyrantrum staring at them.

"Really? That? That's surely a Zoroark! Is impossible that a fool as you can have this pokemon! Look!"

The grunt say and moved his hand with the intention of pass it across it, but… he touched the face. Confused, he looked the prehistoric pokemon and began to tap the head with the hand, ever giving little knocks on it, turning pale by moments. Soon he reached his limit, and admitting that was real, fainted by the impression.

The others, not wanting to have to deal with the Tyrantrum, run away, leaving the trainer alone. When they disappeared, and saw that the faint grunt will not awake too soon, looked the Tyrantrum.

"Thanks Zoroark." He said.

The Tyrantrum nodded and shinned, changing of form into a Zoroark.

"Girl, at times your transformation movement is a lifesaver." He said petting the Zoroark.

"And here I thought I see you beating somebody up?" giggles a female voice while a woman in black robes and a blue dress walks up to the boy "Honestly Daniel. I wasn't expecting you to be here."

"Hello Myst." told the boy "Are you planning to kill somebody?"

"Only if these guys force me. They are my current job, or more in detail it is a retrieval job." explains Myst "With a somewhat unknown time limit."

"A retrieval job? What do you have to pick up?"

"Not what… who" she stated and showed the pic of a bipedal purple colored Pokemon "Before you ask: Hybrid of Sneasel and Eevee. Her name is Melanie and her parents asked me to find her…. and here comes the unknown time limit. Her mother isn't particularly fond of waiting games. Added with her temper I prefer that a Gyrados hits the city."

"The genius of that female is something never seen, right?" He said. "And how is that possible, a hybrid of Sneasel and Eevee?"

"The father evolved to a purple Umbreon due a strange meteor that crashed on earth. That properly helped" mused Myst "Anyway, she exist, she is stolen as she got a checkup from a nurse of their trust and i have to get her back. And you were so kindly to get a gang member to question."

"I don't really like the idea of you questioning somebody."

"Look it at this light: We get the information and then we can shut them down after some effort." reasoned Myst and Daniel signs as he concedes defeat to her reasoning.

Later in an empty storage building, the gang member that got left behind by his comrades began to groan as he was awakening. His eyes blinked as he tried to adjust his vision and wanted to rub said eyes… only to find himself tied on a chair.

"What the heck? Who did-" he began but was interrupted by a growl. Stopping his tracks, his head turned towards the source of the growls and his eyes widened. It was the Tyrantrum. His eyes went wide as the beast glared at him. Before a voice distracted him.

"Yeah, this little bad boy looks quite nasty, don't you think? Especially as this dragon wasn't feed for quite a while."

The head turned and he saw a woman with black hair which ends in a red tipped one came over to him and sat on the lab while stroking his chin "And I have no trouble to feed you to him, handsome…"

"Please no! No! I don't to be eaten! Please let me go! Let me go!"

"Hmm… I would like to… but I want something from you." Then she grinned a wide nasty grin "So either you tell me where I can find the pokemons you stole… or you are ending in a pokemons stomach. Your call."

The man began to sweat before looking at the dragon/stone pokemon and back at the woman.

"I-I don't know where they are! We are only told to deliver the stolen Pokemons to a guy! He is in the Cafe Sonata, black pants, red shirt with brown jacket, yellow cap and always wears sunglasses! This is all I know, I SWEAR! PLEASE DON'T FEED ME, PLEASE DON'T FEED ME!"

"Thanks" smirks Myst and slams something into his neck. The Grunt gave a groans as his eyes rolled up and his head falls back.

Chuckling Myst raised up and her body blurred, revealing an anthropomorphic Zorua while the Pokemon behind her returns to her Zoroark Form. The two moved over to Daniel who had waited at the sidelines.

"Here is our next clue" stated Myst "Sonata, guy in a tasteless combination of clothes."

"Yeah, I get it. Now we should approach that one. What happens with him?"

"The stuff I gave him hold for a few hours. So it is pretty up to us about his fate but we should not hand him to the Police until we got a solid hit of where the Pokemons are. Speaking of which… should I get this guy or do you want to try your luck?"

"First I must see who is this guy, and see if is dangerous or I can deal with him myself."

"Given he is the one taking the Pokemon, I assume he isn't not dangerous looking. Rather harmless, in fact I bet he needs bodyguards to keep himself safe" mused Myst, letting her experience running "So let's hit the Cafe. My treat. You can see it as date if you want" she giggles and wiggles her butt a little.

Later in the Cafe the two are moving in and took a seat on a table. They got some orders down and Myst gave a slight motion towards a spot where their wanted person was sitting. He indeed didn't look much. Most would assume one of many trainers who tries to go cheap in such a place. While two burly bikers are sitting close… surprisingly close and not making any trouble which rather untypical for them.

"Sure that is him?"

"The description fits and nobody else is here" mused Myst "So the options are we grab him now and try to get info out or we wait until he leaves or somebody comes in to deliver some Pokemon."

"Better wait. We need a proof for jail him for good, and if we attack now, maybe the both of us will be the ones jailed for 'attack an innocent'." He said. "And is possible that this grunt could have lied us. Trust me, exist people that can made somebody lie ever in a dead threat."

"I doubt that guy had the capacities to pull it off, or I wouldn't have done it but then let's see." she stated "how was your time since we last saw us? Was quite a while after all."

"Well, all was alright. I traveled around, I won some champion title, and lost it against a challenger. You know the typical." He replied. "And you?"

"Here a mission, there a mission some backstabbing, some paybacks" she mused "Aside from having tea with Yveltal it was quite normal life. Oh and he promised me to kill me personally if I threaten his counterpart again. Honestly. How should I have known that the tree I was to cut for some firewood was Xerneas in sleeping state?"

"Well, I know that type of tree, and you can recognize it by the X it has at the middle."

"Yeah… you. Being in the middle of a forest full of white trees, and looking at a supposedly dead one, I didn't pay much mind of the X as I thought of it as a scar. I usually don't deal with legendaries, because I am dam aware that I wouldn't last three seconds against any of them." she told "And I wasn't even in Kalos so I didn't think I would meet one of the legendaries from there." told Myst "After that I bought a book containing information how I recognize sleeping legendaries to avoid the same mistake."

"Good idea."

She then wanted to say something else as some thugs came in. They looked like typical gang members of the crime organization. Myst watched them carefully while pretending to drink her tea.

The gang members handed over at least two dozen Pokeballs to the one they watched and they were given money. Quite a lot from the view but they couldn't tell how much it was. The gang members leave and the man put the Pokeballs into a backpack and pulled out a phone, calling somebody.

Looking at Daniel Myst whispered "I think he is calling somebody to pick up the bag while he remains here to get more mons from the gang members."

"Yes, but maybe he is only a goon too." He stated. "Remember that until recently, nobody could believe that the boss of the Team Rocket was a Gym Leader after all."

But then looked at him. "But I have a question that must be answered. Why they're taking so many pokemon? This has no sense, and why being so harsh? They could get the wild ones easier instead of attack the people. Neither Team Plasma could go so far… I don't know, here is something that we don't understand."

"here come a few things in mind but none of them are very likely as we are in the wrong region for each of them." admits Myst "So let's wait until the one picking the balls up comes and follow him."

He nodded at her. And they wait, until a young man who looked like the average backpacker came in and the two switched the bags before the backpacker moves out again. Taking their clue they paid for the stay and moves out.

They began to chase the man at a safe distance for not be spotted and for not lost him. As they followed him, they reach the piers, more exactly the Pokemon Center

"And here goes my trust into the Nurse Joys out of the window" whispered the Zorua.

"Let's see what's going on here."

So they head in and saw nothing really odd, only the backpacker talking with the nurse before he was given a key and went into the direction of the guest rooms of the center. Looking at Daniel she asks "You have a key for one of the guest rooms?"

"Sorry, but not, just reached the town today, I just have no key for guest rooms, but I can ask for one."

"Then do it quickly so we can follow him" she mused while moving in a position where he could watch the backpacker without raising question as Daniel would get a key. Once they had it, they went to find the room. The room the backpacker is going to use.

And they find him using it on a door that wasn't marked as guest room but as staff only door. Myst quickly checked the corridor for cameras but as she didn't saw any she went to get the lock open. Once the lock was picket, she opens it and slips in, waiting for Daniel to follow her. Once he was slipped in as well, the two followed down a stairway on which end they saw an underground facility. From what they could see, the stolen Pokemons receive a check up and after that the Pokeball gets labeled and put in one of three boxes. One box is quite full while the second is half and the third holds the lowest amount of Pokeballs.

"it looks like… they sort the Pokemons for some sort of quality" whispered Myst "But to what result are the sorting?"

"Dunno, but if we can find for what they do this, our work will be easier."

"Agree… but for that we need to get close to the terminals without being spotted… or knocking everybody out." she mused "The knocking out option seems to be easier though. Or we could raise a fire alarm."

"Easier for you. I'm not an obsessed with the ancient assassination methods of the age of the potato."

"At least I am not one of those who would now throw in a bunch of explosives without regard for the pokemon" she stated in a deadpan. "So… let's see" she mused "And I see the fire alarm button."

Turning to Daniel she asks "Think one of your pokemon could start a distraction?"

"In what you're thinking?"

"Let's say… these guys will properly get nervous when a Pokemon known for exploding rolls in and starts glowing" she smirks.

"Are you nuts?! You want Zoroark to turn into a Electrode and explode?!" He asked without raise the voice. "She hates that type of ideas, and she hates use self-destruction skills! If she founds that you're thinking on that, neither your assassin skills will help you with her!"

"I am talking about pretending, NOT actually doing it" she stated in a deadpan "At least as long until I get to to hit the fire alarm switch. She knows how to use Flash I assume? The glowing effects can be mistaken with the preparations of Self Destruction. because the only other way how I reach that bottom is grab one of them, knock him out, take his form and get over there without anybody seeing me pressing the switch."

He thought for a moment "And can work if who presses it is invisible?"

"Can work, but only if they didn't prepare for a Kecleon." she stated "That is why I never adept invisibility… the guys I am after often count on that trick."

"Well, maybe can work if something is invisible and goes there in question of seconds."

"Then go and do it" she stated "Thought we should get to a position where we aren't spotted during the evacuation."

"And where you suggest? Here not, evidently."

She points to a nearby closet "Classic place. And who would look in here during an evac?"

"Anybody who wants to recover whatever is there before of lost it by anything?"

"Doubt it as it is a janitor closet" she said as she opened the door to check the contents. "The worst we have to face is a CO2 fire extinguishing system but for these I have breathing masks."

"I will keep that in mind."

"So, can we now smoke the guys out?" she asks

He nodded and sent his pokemon, a Latias, and after of explain the plan, she turned invisible, and seconds later they began to heard the alarm.

"You are the guy with the Latias?" she whispered "You are aware that 5 billions are offered in the underworld to bring her alive?" while they heard people moving out of this place due the fire alarm.

"And you want know why they pay 5 billions?"

"Aside from having a legendary Pokemon? Or potential research object?" asks the dark type "not sure and not care as it isn't my field of work." Then she listens to outside "I don't hear anything… and t doesn't seem they are using a CO2 system. Yet. Still…" she reaches for her bag and hands over a mask "If you hear something being released or smell something funny, put this on."

He nods and takes it. Then they move out and indeed nobody was left here, except for Latias. Myst mused "They took the box with the smallest amount of Pokeballs, leaving the other two here… which means this small amount of Pokemon was important while the other two boxes fates isn't important"

Then she went to a computer and began to type on it "This facility is here to sort the stolen Pokemon into three categories… most are send to the arena. Properly gladiator style fights. The second category is breeding. And the third is simply labeled "Special treatment." So… whatever is going on, it has something to do with the special treatment."

"Looking at this thing we will not find anything, and we have no clue to where they sent the stolen Pokemon." He said looking the computer. "And evidently we can't leave the pokemon here." He stated and looks at her. "So, what will be now? Infiltrate the gang? Or take this place down?"

"That I decide once I learn about the fate of little Melanie" stated Myst and typed on the computer and after some searching she added "here… labeled as Subject SP#0054. She is send to the special department with the suggestion to include her into the breeding program later on."

Myst crossed her arms "But one thing confuse me… it is told they are selling the mons to the highest bidder but none of the data here suggest they are doing it. Why ever they have this operation running… it has something to do with the fact that they bother to steal Pokemons from trainer instead of getting many Pokeballs and catch every Pokemon they can find in the wild."

Then she turned to Daniel "If you want you can tear down this place, but we have to find somebody who is willing to tell us where the other three facilities are. The underground arena and the breeding facility should be relatively easy. The special facility would be a problem. Let's see what kinds of Pokemon are sent there. Then we can figure out a pattern."

"It's a good idea." He nodded at her and began to look to the data but frowned. "It's odd. The Pokemon sent to the special facility… they're all in their final evolutionary step or have not further evolution, and looking this data, seemed that there is no much space for normal improvement with training. By logic, all of these pokemon should go to, or to the arena, or to the breeding centre."

He sighs and scratches his head. "The truth is that all this is confusing… what made them so special? Why they're separated from the other two groups?" He thinks for a moment and looks at her. "Can you look if they had done scientifically and medical exams to them? Maybe we can find a clue about this."

She nods and typed in "Yeah. Here are data. However only what is done here. The rest must be in the facility. Also by that pattern, Melanie is quite an anomaly. She is practically a baby. While a hybrid, she is a hybrid of evolutionary lines. Theoretically she could evolve." then she paused "Here is something… it seems to be a business report for the investors."

"What it says?"

"Mostly numbers regarding the arena fights and the breeding center… at the end is a report about Project X." she stated and shook her head "Why can't these people come up with original names? Anyway… it seems that it is a list of Pokemons chosen for the project and that research is underway with first results. In a week is a presentation of the first results. But no word about the project's details. Buuuut! We have a email list of the recipients."

"Something interesting about it?" He asked. "As a famous names or somebody important or relevant?"

"The director of the Leviathan Company. A well known rival of Silph Co. in Shinnoh." stated Myst "As well somebody you should know as well: Former Champion Alder. But given I once met that guy, I can tell somebody is using his name here. Was quite a nice talk with tea we had. Wonder why he didn't try to stop me in my assassin career."

"Leviathan, uh? I heard about them. You know the rumors about their hands on the black market?" He asked

"Killed a handful executives regarding that" she admits "but never got enough evidence to frame the entire corporation… only parts of the branches. And… we got a problem. the paper is signed by Xerosic. he was the former head of research for team Flare. And should by all rights be in Kalos prison."

"Well, with a huge company, and will billions for spend, ever you can buy the freedom of whoever you want…" He said but then looked a name in the list. "Mmm, Derik?"

"Does it a ring a bell to you?" she asks "I am not that deep in the Unova underground to know everybody." she admits "After our first encounter my operations here were nearly Zero. In fact the only reason I am here due the favor I own Saphire, Melanie's mother."

"A small question. You ever know that company F.U.S.E Corp?"

"It rings a bell but nothing clear to be honest."

"F.U.S.E Corp is a company that, at the cost of a massive amount of pokedollars, they can create a fusion between pokemon. I never got one of them, and never got the interest of one, but I saw one, and they're very strong."

"Pokemon Fusing? that is illegal as far I know, due the health risk involved, not to mention it is practically killing two mons for a new one." stated Myst "But it would explain the interest into Melanie… she is a natural born hybrid, also a sort of natural fusion."

"Well, in theory, isn't a direct fusion, is basically as Melanie, they seems to use the DNA of some pokemon for create the fusion, and taking into account this fact, the thing is in a gray zone. But, some of that fusions were a complete failure and cause problems to the company. Derek Malcolm was the head scientist during the creation of said pokemon."

"I thought cloning is only legal to revive fossils. And modifications not, due the mewtwo incidents." said Myst "Or was I too deep in the dark to know better."

"A pal told me that they're taking a lot of measures for avoid repeat that incidents. But a thing is sure, when that accidents happened, Derek was fired and later was sued by the damages caused. After that, he simply disappeared."

"If he was sued, then one must wonder how he could invest into this huge operation." mused Myst "Must have stored away money or run an underground thing to get money. I bet we can learn a thing or two if we contact my information trader. You like Sushi?"

"Sushi? Well, in that I prefer smoked salmon instead of raw one."

"Sorry but my contact only meets me in Sushi bars" she grinned "Complain to him if you want." before typing on the computer again, sending the data they found to an e-mail account before shutting down the system "Now we should ensure that really a fire happens and disappear with the Pokeballs before anybody comes back. We were here unnoticed long enough and eventually somebody figure out that the alarm was falsely triggered." and she pulled out a time bomb and assembled it before putting in on the terminal.

"Err, question: you know how many pokeballs are here?"

"According to the data currently 624 Pokeballs which weren't assigned for the Special Facility. Or project X as they call it." replied Myst "And I am aware it is much."

"And you really think we can take all them outta here before your bomb explodes and burns all this place?"

"Nope. But that bomb is only here to destroy the terminal." she stated and pulled another out "This is the real big boom. Also they have to move these containers full of Pokeballs somehow, so here must be an exit for them."

"Then let's find that exit before this thing explodes and they have the crazy idea of call the firemen."

"Indeed!" she told and looks around "And here we have a map… man those guys are lax in security here."

"Well, nobody can think or believe that this type of place can be hidden in a Pokemon Centre."

"Still… have seen better in even less suspicious places." she mused "Here is a garage bay in that direction. We can use it to get the mons on a transporter or at least out of the general destruction area."

"Then let's start to transport the pokeballs before that somebody come here."

"Get your pokemon out as far they can help. We need to be sure that we don't miss one."

He released his pokemon and all them began to transport the pokeballs to the transporter. It only took several minutes before all were loaded. Myst then began to hijack the transporter as she didn't want to look for the keys as the bomb could explode soon.

"Come on, come on, come on…"

And she got the vehicle running and was soon behind the wheel, making an illusion of a human form of hers. "Let's move."

The vehicle began to move, soon getting away of the zone before the explosion. Myst looked back for a second before turning to the street "If they claim it was a gas explosion or like that tomorrow, than we know that Police Officers are in the pockets of those guys."

He nodded at him. "And if that happens, we need to get something for get them out too."

"Well… I have a contact in the International Police. We could call him." suggested Myst.

"Yes, maybe can help…"

"First we get the balls back at my hideout, until we know if we can trust the police" she said.

"And where is your hideout, if I can ask?"

"Just outside the town." she stated "A house in the outskirts." and keeps driving "And if you tell me that it is a dumb spot to hide: It is the reason I originally gave it up. But my current one is not large enough for all the Pokeballs."

"You're right, is a dumb spot to hide, but if there is not other option..."

"The other option were an apartment in the 24th floor." she stated "And not very big. This town isn't cheap."

"Yeah, the economy isn't on his best moment."

"And the outskirts will do for a few days once we got rid of the car." she added and they leave the town to the outskirts.

"And where is it exactly? I'm not interested on walk days for hide the pokeball." He said. "Just I hope the house is nice for stay while waiting."

"Only an hour walk. And I have an old bike there as well. It is pretty much from my first days as assassin."

"Now I'm imagining that only entering into the door we will find someone living there…"

"Doubt it" she stated "It is still paid from my accounts. It is now used as a storage for different items."

"And how often you visit that house?"

"Four or five times a year. I told you my operations are low. I have somebody I trust looking after it until I found somebody to sell that thing to."

"I only want to not get a bad surprise there." He stated. "Is only that."

"It is reasonable safe." she assured and after a while they reach the house and she parks the transporter in front of the door. "Let's get them inside and then get rid of this vehicle."

He nodded and after of a long while the pokeballs were inside the house, and in the while he took a view to the inside of it.

It was very simply set up, proofing it was from Myst early days as assassin, since Daniel already learned she normally got her places with good quality objects. Myst tossed him a spare key and told "i am going to get rid of the transporter. Can you keep a watch here and follow the news?"

"Okay." He said and turn on the TV, but as wasn't the hour for news, he began to watch random channels looking for a sudden news report..

While he found a regular news report, and it did indeed report about an explosion in the Pokemon Center, the firefighters were according to the news still fighting the fire. Having interest into what they could say about the fire, he kept watching the news.

Nothing new came up yet as Myst came back… one hour later.

"You took your time."

"Wanted to make sure the car cannot be connected with this area and i took a look by the fire fighters. They are told that the Pokemon Center has a large underground storage and only 3 of five squads are active there, despite on how bad the fire is."

"So what means this? The police is involved or not?"

"Police is involved, As well somebody in the fire department."

"So now we're in troubles, right?"

"It just got harder" she stated and pulled out a black phone "Loki will be so pissed that I found out his private cell phone number."

"Loki? That's a funny name."

"Inspector Locker from the International Police" she explained "I just call him Loki."

"Oh, okay." He said. "And he likes that nick?"

"Nope" she admits "he is pretty annoyed by it, but given he wants to arrest me for being a murderer, vigilante, taking the law in my own hands and driving on the wrong side… which only happened once."

"That's normal for you, right?"

"You know me Daniel" she shrugged while dialing the number and wait until somebody would pickup.

Soon the phone was picked. "Yes?

"Hello Loki! How is the crime fighting business?" grinned Myst while putting her feet up, knowing that he will recognize her voice and the way she talks to him.

"Wh-what the-" suddenly she began to hear a lot of noise of things falling to the ground. After of a time his voice was heard again. "How the hell you got this number?! I have this number for when I'm resting and don't want hear nothing ever for important orders!"

"My trade secret~" she giggles "Call me to a date and I might forget that number~ As well a few Pokemon we took from a criminal organization."

"You think I can trust you? I lost the number of all the murder charges that exist for your head, without count the fact that you was driving on the wrong side. You know that I had to calm down the kids that YOU nearly run over that day? And how long you will keep using that disguise of Zorua?! Give me a good reason for not try to find from where you're calling!" He said angry.

"Because I am asking you to come to me" she countered "We found quite a few interesting things under a Pokemon Center… namely that a band that was stealing Pokemons in the last weeks use them to find certain Pokemon's for a dubious project while sending the rejects to an arena or breeding Center… and three names are involved. The Ceo of Leviathan. Xerosic and Derek Malcolm. And AGAIN! I said sorry and offered Candy for my mistake! Not to mention every of my killings brought you guys less work as I only target large scale criminals."

"But nobody has the right of take the justice at his own hand. If they're guilty, they will be arrested and processed, but not killed! If we leave the people act as-!"

Myst sighed "We could continue that argue for a few hours but now I just say this: I have proof of a big deal, and the local police force is involved. No clue how much of them, but enough that I don't trust them with the Pokemons we saved. Now get your lazy but to Unova! After all each time I called you, it brought you a big time arrest. And the three names I stated should ring alarm bells in you."

"Yeah, I know these names. And leave me tell you something. By your actions, the International Police has created a special unit with the only purpose for capture you."

"Really? Wow! if I ever Run into one of the Phantom Thieves, I should take notes from them how they escape the Police. Wait… I keep getting off from you. Not to mention that in every bigger region I got a task force on the neck. And this time I would prefer you NOT try to arrest me upon meeting… my current job is to save somebody, and this somebody happens to be part of the special project."

"I can't promise you nothing, but I will go to Unova and see what you found. And I warn you, I'm not in charge of this unit, but someone else. And trust me, you don't want get him angry. Is the type of police that you don't want to meet. Only leave me tell you that when a criminal gets cocky with him, involves everyone that the criminal knows as part of the crime as a only warning. And if you have accomplices, he will give them two options: or they help him to arrest you, or suffer your sentence duplicated by two. And that was when he worked in the Kanto Police Department."

Te sighs and tells. "What I'm saying is that, after of this case, I suggest you to surrender to the unit, unless you're ready to cut yourself all relation with all the world, because he will remove all your world, friends and family, with the only objective of capture you."

"Oh? Does He know my real face?" she mused "Because as far I am aware they only know me as the Zorua Assassin." she chuckles, doubting that they seriously believe they could get her contacts… especially if she could simply switch identities.

"I don't know, but he has stated the idea that you're really a Zorua, and ever equipped the unit with anti-illusion systems. I'm only saying that he can be dangerous for you."

She frowns at the information, but given that she barely announces her moves, she just have to reset some information and cut a couple of things afterwards. "I really try to imagine how he keeps the position if he claims that, as nobody would take that serious."

"Well, he says that some of your disguises are too perfect for be only disguises, and noted that you avoided enter in contact with people that has that anti-illusion systems."

"Perhaps because I might own a Zorua or Zoroark as backup?" she asks "When you will be here?"

"For what, for prepare your handcuffs? I will get there when I can."

"To deal with that threat!" she spat "When did I ever bother to contact you if it isn't important?"

"If you ask with that case, I will take care of it. And please, don't call me to this number again!" He then closed the phone.

"How was the conversation?" Daniel asked, seeing her face.

"Got trouble for myself" she stated "I take care of it once that is done but Locker gets a surprise if instead of coming here to help us syncs the task force on us."

"Wait, wait." He said with a weakly laugh. "You said… you said 'us'?" He asked signaling she and himself.

"I didn't tell him about you, but if they show up instead of him, they will see you as contact and arrest you." she said "Better you keep your presence somewhere else until we are sure that Locker is coming and not a task force. I got enough IDs to disappear from the radar."

He kept laughing weakly. "I… I will keep that in mind."

The next day, Locker reached Unova across air, and got out the Castelia airport, beginning to look around, sighing loudly..

"Excuse me!" said somebody and saw it was a mailman.

"Yes?"

"I have a letter here. It requires you to sign that you receipted it." explains the mailman, showing the letter and the formula he has to sign.

He signed the formula and took the letter, opening and reading it. The letter contained two addresses. One of a nearby bank, with the key to a deposition safe and the other to a fancy restaurant near the town and that a table is reserved under his name. And that he should please check the contents of the safe first.

Locker first went to the bank, used the key there and found inside the safe a set of documents. Copies of all information and files the assassin were able to dig up since their call and under it was the information of a manager who keeps tabs which policemen were bought… which was so many that cause Locker to frown. After of take that information, he went to the restaurant, and sat on the table that was reserved for him.

Some time later a woman with blue hair and a red dress sat on the table and mused "Hello! Quite a time since we saw us."

"I could say that wasn't enough." He said but then looks at her. "I saw all the data. Are you sure about it?"

"I broke into an hidden underground facility which was under a Pokemon Center to gather one half of the data and spend the night to get the rest. Also I wouldn't be here if I weren't sure." she countered "And what I say next is between us: My goddaughter is caught in this and I intent to save her!"

"I see. I understand, but still we can't do things without think. You ever know against who you're going?"

"Only what the list says so far, which is quite something already." she stated "That's one of the reason I called you. The other is getting the Policemen out of the city and get the Pokemons I saved into safety."

"Yes, I understand, but still. Nobody can't go against somebody as Leviathan."

"For now I want to know what they are planning and get her out. After that we can think what to do next" she stated calmly.

"Look, while I was coming here, I asked all the data I could about the names you said me before. And for what I know, Malcolm can be a dangerous man."

"I know. An informant I asked claims that the good doctor once forced DNA of a Muk into a human who crossed his path. Wasn't a nice view I assume." she agreed "That is why I need a way into this meeting. I have a plan but for that I need to get one of the names in the list off the view for a few days without anybody knowing. And I simply lack the time to do it myself, especially as none of my contacts are able to do any favors. Somebody is hiring killers in massive numbers currently. For one simple thing: To kill anybody who investigate against Leviathan." explained the girl.

"Really? I know a lot of dark rumors about them, but this is exaggerated!"

"Not so much when somebody wants to protect something." Said a third voice, and Locked sighed loudly with a hand on his face.

A man with black hair, small beard and with a outfit similar to Locker with the International Police emblem on it got a chair and sat with them. By Locker's face, he hadn't expected him to be there too.

Myst frowns "This is a private meeting." she stated.

"Sorry, but I wanted to meet you for a long time. After all, no many ones has the opportunity of meet the infamous Zoura Assassin for a talk" He asked.

"How flattering." she stated "But for now I have no killings in mind. Only getting somebody on the request of a friend."

"Yes, I heard that."

"Victor, what are you doing here?" Locker asked.

"You think that I don't do my homework? Anyway, I just wanted to talk with her at least a time." He said and looks at her. "I'm betting that Locker talked about my 'methods' for deal with criminals, right."

"He did… have fun finding anything." she simply stated "At least something that can work with your methods. Oh sure you get names and pointers but I have enough resources to cut my losses. And Locker is a known contact of mine because I called him quite a few times already, I bet you just put two and two together as he suddenly went here without having a case assigned."

"Well, actually I'm not here for that. Is only that the bosses are talking loud and around about you, and ever they're thinking on try to get you to our side."

"You realize that I am only that effective because I don't follow all laws and procedures?" she wondered, raising an eyebrow "And that nobody knows my real face."

"Well, that's true, but maybe we can solve this in a friendly manner. If you start to work for the govern, maybe we can erase all your crimes, and offer aid when you need." He said. "And also have an eye on everyone you know that you want to protect."

"Tempting… but first I want to have the situation cleared before I think about it." she countered "For now I am here for a single reason and I don't really care right now how to archive it as long a few parameters are met." then she put a small paper with an address on the table "Help me getting this over and I think about it! For now by this address you find the Pokemons saved from this underground facility."

"Well, do whatever you want. But keep in mind that if you reject the offer, the next time we meet, will not be for a nice talk, you know?" Victor said.

"I think she didn't mind that." Locker said. "And Victor, maybe you're here, but this will be my case, and I don't want to have problems with your unit during my investigation."

"All depend of her actions."

"Any deaths will be in self defense" she stated "If it is what you referring to. I have no contract for anybody running so I won't do the effort doing so intentionally."

"That's what says all the assassins."

"You really don't know my M.O. I always leave a card behind when I intentionally kill somebody. And aside from that I never killed anybody, except it was to keep my own skin." said Myst "Ask any officer which was involved in cases caused by me and you all hear the same. Also that I never killed innocent people. I have no contract, I only want to save somebody and any deaths will be their own fault."

"Well, I will keep that in mind." He said and stands up. "It was a nice talk, but now I have to prepare things. Ah, and miss. The next time, I will see what is hidden under your illusion." Victor said and left.

Locker sighed loudly when he left.

"And here I was looking forward for a good meal." she muttered "Is it really that hard to understand M.O?"

"Sorry about that, but I think you know the type of man Victor is, right?"

"At least it will be interesting to dance on his nose if it comes down to it." she deadpans.

He sighs loudly. "And about the proposal, is the first time I heard about that, but he never bluffed when he say something about that, and I suppose to know why. Somebody as you at the side of the law can be a real help."

"And as I said before: I think of it but right now I have my own interest and they come first."

"Understood." He said. "Well, sorry for this, but now I have to get some pokemon, and made sure that Victor doesn't fall over your butt without warning."

"Locker! Tell Victor one thing. I have a few contacts who knows nothing about my work, so threatening them is useless. I have the help of a trainer right now and he has no clue about my work as assassin. And if he still tries something… then I make an announcement. He knows I do it sometimes and that they tend to show an impact… bet your superiors don't like having bad public because he threatens an innocent trainer."

"That will not stop him surely, so I will don't say him that. But I will say that going against you will be a bad idea just now." He said and left, getting the address.

Myst took a phone out and calls Daniel… with Victor into this, it is too hot now to keep her friend involved.

"Yes?" Daniel asked through the phone.

"Locker is here, but that task force captain followed him. I suggest you leave and cover your connection with me" stated Myst "Guess I won't be able to repay the dominance game from last time. At least not until I cleaned things up.""

"I know, but after of think about it, I want to help you. And I know that you will tell me that you don't want me to get involved, but think about it. And if I'm only a trainer that get's in the middle wanting to solve the problem? I know of trainers that done that too. And tell me, he is the type of man that will believe the existence of a bipedal Entei?"

"He believes at least me being a Zorua." she stated "What is your idea?".

"Well, maybe they will have something for null any illusion, right? How like if we made them think that they don't work correctly?"

"Naughty boy" she chuckles "We talk the details later. We see us in my apartment, the police will pick up the Pokemons soon. I gave them the address a few minutes ago, just like planned."

"Okay, I get my things and leave. And I will ask to Latias to take every evidence I could have left here."

"Of course." she nods "We us then. Also Locker got a number to call me. I hope we can soon replace one of the invited people."

"Okay. And how is the captain of that task force?"

"A man who reminds me of my first revenge target." she admits. "Hopefully he is smarter than him. else I get the death of a police officer on my list of assault charges."

"Oh, I see. Just hope not reach that extreme. Anyway, I have to leave now, unless you want me to answer some questions."

"Of course" she answered and ends the call and upon leaving the restaurant, she tossed it away, like she did with all cloned phones she has."

Hours later, Daniel reached entered into Myst's apartment using his Latias's invisibility trick for enter across an open window and avoid anyone spotting him if somebody was watching her.

She had set up a small table with two glasses of wine and greets him "How was the trip?"

"I don't want to comment about it. I really had to do it? Really, I don't mind fly over Latias, but flying at that form. We had a lot for problems for maintain me hiding under her invisibility trick."

"It was your idea" she stated.

"Yeah, sure. This was your idea." He said. "Anyway, what are we celebrating?"

"Nothing. Just something to enjoy the evening" she stated.

"I don't want burst your bubble, but I don't drink wine."

"That wine is just a better juice. No alcohol." she explains "Familiar taste but available even for children."

"Thanks, but no, thanks." He says and sat on the couch.

"And here I spend the time to find out what your favorite juice is." she sighs loudly.

"Don't worry about that, ok?"

Shrugging she takes her glass and drink some "Need something? To eat, to drink or so?"

"Well, some meal could be good now."

She nods and head to the kitchen. He while waited there for she to take the meal. And soon he was served a good meal.

"Thanks." He said beforehand and began to eat it.

"When you are finished, you can either join me in bath or in bed if you like" she stated.

"I will keep it in mind."

She nods and leaves him alone. After of a while he finishes and then moves to the bed. Where Myst was already lying in, reading a book, wearing glasses.

"I didn't imagine you wearing glasses."

"Oh these? They are just fake ones, opted to take them as I had to pass as a woman who needs glasses… wearing them while reading in bed somehow stuck." she shrugged.

"That's funny."

"You don't know half of the funny stuff!" she declared to him with a grin.

"True, I don't know."

"So… how do you want to end this evening?" she murred while putting the glasses off.

"Well, that depends of you."

"In this case" she murred and went on his lap "how about we get a relief of today's stress?" while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"That can be a good idea." He replied, before he was kissed on the lips by her and pulled him closer to her body, and he evidently replied the kiss. Before they lost themselves in the pleasure of their bodies.

After the fun they laid on the bed with Myst stroking his chest while his arm was around her shoulders.

"You didn't lose your touch!" she grinned to him.

"Thanks." He panted loudly.

Pulling him down and kissed him deeply, purring loudly before slowly closing her eyes. He replied the kiss while caressing her sides. Holding the kiss, she broke it slowly and grinned at him "Why you did seriously never took a mate? A guy like you could satisfy a harems worth."

"The same I could ask you."

"By my line of work?" she asked. "Not really a safe thing to be."

"Then someday you will have to think about it., no?"

"Yeah… but once I have enough money to not worry about working anymore." she stated.

He raises an eyebrow. "Are you saying that you do this only for money?"

"Not only. But I have to life from something. And that job isn't really covered by insurances." she stated.

"My…" He said, and took his knotted cock from her pussy, lying at her side, staring her for a moment.

She sighs "You really want to blame me for covering my costs and saving something for a live after hunting down bad guys?"

"No, is just… why you took this type of life?" He asked. "You don't seems they type of female that lost everything at the hands of somebody with less brain than a Rhyhorn."

"Part tradition, part Team Rocket encounters and part that my first crush wanted to skin me and sell my fur to poachers." she stated.

He was speechless about that, ever doubting that was true.

"My first crush and I were on our own as we found rocket members who shot down different parent pokemons to get their offspring. That was also where I accidentally showed my true self towards him. And once the Rocket Members were done… well… we started to hunt them down, using me as bait. Oh the rewards were fine and the feeling of doing good as well. Until he decided selling things he acquired by killing brings more money… and one day. Take a guess."

"Okay." He said, already having an idea to where be going this.

"Yeah… that is also why I haven't made a serious move yet." she stated.

"You fear that your new mate could do that again, right?"

"Yeah…" she confirms.

"If you follow that rule, then your mate will try to betray you even after your retirement."

"My problem is… the only people I feel comfortable around are those who share such a secret like me."

"I see."

"I don't know where to look." she stated.

He couldn't think on any word for her, and he only could caress her head with his hand. Then she sighs and close her eyes.

"Sorry for enter into this topic."

"Don't be…" she muttered and went to try to sleep.

He hugged her and closed his eyes.

On the next day the Zorua began to yawn and rose from the bed. The Poketian Entei was still sleeping at her side on that moment. She chuckles and went to the living room and turned the TV on to see the morning news. Nothing really new happened and so she decided to shower first and set up the cell phone, whose number she gave to Locker on automatic so he knows he should call a bit later. In case he calls.

Soon she was under the shower and let the warm water rush over her fur.

Finally Daniel awake and stood up from the bed, yawning and once his brain booted to a point he understand things, he heard the shower running. He had interest of enter there, but after of yesterday, she surely should get at peace for now. And evidently he had to place things ready for his plan for fool the special unit when the time comes.

Quite the time later Myst came from the shower to the kitchen, only wearing a bathrobe. There found a letter from Daniel on the table, and when she read it, found that he left for get things ready and get some pokemon, from a different Pokemon Centre, that he thinks could help for trick the special team, alongside the warning that maybe one of them will want some compensation from Myst later. Also said where to meet at certain hour before the 'show'.

She rolls the eyes a little before making herself a breakfast and set the phone back to the normal settings. She took her breakfast while muttering "Did Locker actually fail to get his side of the deal?"

Soon the phone began to sound. She picked it up and smirks "Hi Loki! I was wondering when you call."

"Sorry, but I was busy with You-Know-Who." Locker replied. "But don't worry, I have done what you said, and arrested one of the list, and is an interesting element."

"HOw so?" she mused "And which of them is it?"

"Her name is Leticia Makner, she was known as a distributor of Pokemon for criminal organizations, behind of the quick rearmament of some dangerous groups, but she was protected by groups as Leviathan and other powerful industries, but thanks to your list, we had the excuse of arrest her."

"Glad I could help here" she chuckles "I should get ready for taking her place. Anything I should look out when doing so?"

"Only that Victor and his unit will be there, and I think they will wait for you to act for activate their anti-illusion systems for reveal your tricks and arrest you. For him you're the big price, the rest is only a perquisite."

"Does he even care about the mons which are still in their grabs?" asked Myst with a groan, wondering what this idiot is thinking for trying to bust something they agreed on. Not to mention here is one Pokemon she doesn't want to be in the care of the international police.

"That his own opinion, but in fact he was only able to get into this if he promised to capture everyone of the list during the meeting. So you must watch your actions there, and... I hope you have a form of escape from him and fulfill your mission."

"He will curse the day where he decides it is better to play against me" she answered "When and where is it?"

"Tomorrow in an abandoned complex outside of Castelia City."

"Thank you!" she stated "I call ya when we are done."

"And watch out with both Derek and Victor. Derek can be dangerous, and after his work on F.U.S.E Corp, he can have some of his experiments with him. And Victor, a document said that he isn't scared of cross the 'line'."

"Second is rather normal for me" she admits "But for the first one I need to be extra careful" she agreed "See you then."

"Okay." He said and finished the call.

And she went to call Daniel to inform him about the date. And of course also to plan their next steps.

Then the next morning arrives…

At the complex outside the city, cars are driving forward and people with guards exit them to move into the complex. All these people were high shots in the underground world and their bodyguards. What none of them knew… they were surrounded by forces of the international police and one group particular were watching the entry from a safe distance. As the current arrival entered the building, the watchers called over a communicator "Braviary one to Metagross. Confirm entry of suspect Mightyena one. No sign of suspect of Zoroark."

"Metagross to Braviary one. Keep watching. Remember that Zoroark will enter replacing Shift, so keep watching and warm me if anybody see Ditto."

"Braviary three to Metagross. Confirm entry of suspect Mightyena three. Is followed by two subjects covered on leather cloaks, and is impossible to see what are them."

"Metagross to Braviary three, copied." Metagross, or better said Victor, received the call and looked Locker who was there to made sure that Victor didn't done something stupid before time. "Derek has come to the party."

Locker nodded to Victor and wondered what Myst is doing… she should be here by now.

"Braviary two Here! Have potential sighting of Suspect Zoroark! Repeat! Potential sight on suspect Zoroark!" Came the call and As Locker looked at the monitor which was connected to the camera of watch team Braviary two, they really saw a person looking like Subject Ditto aka Leticia Makner entering the building.

"There she is." Stated Locker before leaning back "Remember! Until she gives a sign that she got what we want, we will not act, unless something happens."

Victor looked him. "Sorry, but you know the thing." Then he called. "Metagross to all Braviary teams Anybody of you spotter a point blank entry?."

"Braviary four to Metagross, we actually found an entrance, and isn't watched."

"Braviary five to Metagross, we found another entrance."

"Metragross to Braviary four and five, keep your places. Dugtrio one and two, look for the entrance and get inside without call the attention, get into position, arrest anybody who discover you and prepare to my order. I'm coming in with Trapinch one."

"You are aware that these entrances might be traps?" asks Locker with his eyes slightly narrowed as Victor was violating the agreed plan, watching on the monitors as the teams were moving in.

"They aren't expecting us to show up, so how the hell should they prepare a trap?" asks Victor as he rose up and moves off to join the party. "And if you ask, I only agreed to wait until she starts to move, no sooner. I'm only preparing the stage for trap everybody." He said and gave a suit to Locker.

"I won't take any blame if anything goes wrong" clarified Locker while taking the suit. Once he is suited up, they began to move out.

"Oh, don't be so negative. I made my movements too. Today both will be Mightyena nine and ten." He replied. "I want to be inside for see when is the best moment for sent the heavy weaponry."

The people nodded and some officers set up some spy equipment to look into the hall. It seems that the people were watching the presentation right now though the guards insides were wearing full body armor with helmets and some heavy guns and two were moving alongside Derek as he walked up to the stage, properly now his turn to talk, most likely project x.

"Ladies, and gentlemen." Began Derek. "Everyone of us have something in common: For us, the Pokemon are only tools that needs some use. And, ever me, must admit that we wanted to use the powers of that pokemon for himself. I'm right?" He said and began to look around.

The minority of the criminal leaders agreed with him and some of their bodyguards are nodding as well.

"Well, then, from today, I replied to all your pleas. Because today, and using my very knowledge obtained in my old days as scientist of F.U.S.E Corp., I was able to create something that will surely help you, but before leave warn you about a serious threat that you will have from today if you want it." He said and looked that them and smiled. "You will have to ask loans from you banks." He jokes.

Some chuckles while other just rolled their eyes about this bad joke.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, leave me show you the future of fighting using Pokemon abilities: The Bio Suits!" He revealed what seemed a biological Suit made of plates from a steel types, with stingers of some bug types and in both arms what looked like cannons which the infamous Genesect bears on the back.

"This is, evidently, is the first model, trust me. I'm thinking on made variations for everyone of the types of pokemon." He said but rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Except Dark Types, that type still is a stone in my shoe. This suit is hatched from an egg that is laid by a biological modified Pokemon who bears all characteristics of a chosen set of Pokemons. From moment the egg was laid to this suit, only 24 hours passed. It has the armor of steel types, can shoot fire, electricity, shadow balls and poison needles. Immune to fighting and electro attacks. And only needs one dose of a special syrup to run for 36 hours without refill."

These information caused some whisper among the guest but it was clear some were very skeptical if the suit would fulfill what is promised.

"Trust me everyone. With one of you with this suit, you can enter into a police station and show to every agent there to fear you for all their life. And evidently that isn't the only use you ca-" Suddenly stopped and stared at one of the cloaked figures that went with him, with a pair of fingers near his ears.

He rolled his eyes and looked to the public. "Ladies, and gentlemen. I have the sad new to say that today, at least two of us isn't who is. Dear friends, leave present you, to the two major figures of the International Police: The agents Victor and Locker." He said, signaling to them.

All the guest looked at them, the majority scared at hear Victor's name. Sighing, Victor took his hat, revealing himself.

"Bravo. Just got us. I don't know how, but you found us." Victor said, while looking everyone, with mixed faces looking at him. "Yeah, we're of the International Police, but leave me tell you something. For me, everyone of you, I care about the same, like a Slugma care about a lake!" He said. "I'm here, because I'm looking for the only reason that I'm here. And only one."

"Oh really? Then how about you enlighten us and tell us why you are here" chuckles Derek "While we also use this to show our guests here the abilities of our new suit." and waved one of his man over to show how to get into the suit for a life demonstration.

He chuckles. "You know her. You ever hear of her. Yes, a shadow that moves around without be spotted until it's too late. A girl know by her infinite number of faces. With a only presentation card that causes fear to who has something against her. Today I came for her. I mean, evidently, of the Zorua Assassin!" That words put pale to more of a criminal, ever the man who was wearing the suit.

"And today, I will see, her real face, before take all you to the justice." He said and activated a device on his arm, and began to look around. "Without exception."

As nobody was changing, Derek looks at his guest "Looks like he thinks that a random device could de-mask the Assassin!" before winking to his assistant wearing the suit "Show our guests what it can do on the two! And then check on everybody here, in case this killer is here!"

Without warning, a Zoroark jumped on the air, catching the attention of everybody. Victor only smiled, thinking that she will act soon and that the device will reveal her face, but for his complete surprise, the Zoroark turned into a Koffing into the air, and used Smokescreen on all the room.

"What the hell is that?! Why the device isn't working?! Why that Zoroark changed?!" Said Victor, trying to see something across the smoke as everyone began to panic and from all entries police were forcing in. Derek's guards went to his side and shoot at the policeman while one urged "Sir! We have to retreat."

"Yes, I see that! Just don't forget that hybrid!" He said and ran away, the cloaked figures soon following him.

The assistant wanted to follow him with the suit. But something was wrong… it was acting weird and before he knew what he saw the reasons… he got Salazzle poison in the suit. The only evolution line of pokemon that can poison steel types. Helpless he looks after his boss while the police storms the place.

Derek were guided to a car convoy and soon a cage was brought to him. A whimper could be heard from inside the cage.

"Soon, little one, soon you will release me from my failures in my investigations with Dark Types." Derek said and looked the driver. "Start the car!"

Soon the convoy began to move, getting away of the area, leaving everyone deal with the International Police.

As they drive, one of the guards sat in front of Derek and the cage, ready to defend him if it is necessary. While the convoy moves, the guard spoke up "Sir. Why only this Pokemon and not any of the other ones in the lab? Because as far I have seen sir, there was many other dark type Pokemons."

"Why? This Pokemon is the perfect union of a Eevee and a Sneasel, you understand? The other dark types are pure in many senses, but I never saw a mix like this. If I can see which cells makes the mix possible.…"

"I see, sir. The president won't be happy thought about leaving behind the modified Pokemons." added the guard.

"The president can say whatever he likes about that! I'm planning to made better modified Pokemon that surpasses the ones we left behind!"

"Think Victor was right that the Zorua Assassin was there?" wondered the guard, shifting in his seat while nervously grabbing on his handgun on the side.

He snorts after hear that. "The Zorua Assassin? I admit that possibility, but the only thing we saw are small visual tricks."

"So arrogant…" came from the guard who suddenly had a female voice and the gun were pointed at him. Before he could react, he got shot but it wasn't a bullet. It was a injection projectile and he couldn't move once he felt the sting of it.

"Don't worry! You can still talk in a low voice. This stuff just paralyze you for a few hours from neck down." stated the guard. "You shouldn't taken vehicles with blackened windows… it's so easy to hide what is going on inside. And attention grabbing."

He stared at him. "So you was really there, uh?"

"Yes. These clothes made it quite easy to hide my gender." chuckles the guard and removes the helmet showing a woman with blue hair and red eyes "And you have to thank me for this little stunt with the international police… I called them as soon as I learned the true reason of the violent pokemon stealing."

"So you aren't only an assassin, but also a detective. Tell me, why you're here really?"

She reaches for the cage and pulled it for the lab, looking in it "hello Melanie."

"Auntie!" called the Pokemon inside.

"So, you came for her, uh? How interesting. All this for a mere child. Who could said that somebody as you could have a soft spot?"

"If it weren't with her here, and the fact it would be too much of a hassle with the police, I would treat you like you deserve" Stated Myst "But as for now…" and pulled out a remote and pressed it, the car suddenly stopped "I leave you here in the middle of town with locked down and dead cars for the police to pick up. Oh and your prototype has some trouble with Salazzle poison."

He then laughed. "Oh, you think that you have advantage, because you got me by surprise, right? But leave me ask you something: how was possible that, while I was busy in my discussion, was able to discover the two inspectors?"

Before she could answer, the door was torn apart, and one of the cloaked figures grabbed her and threw her out the car, leaving the box inside the car, while Derek was smiling evilly.

Myst grunts painfully while getting back on feet, wondering how the heck this guy could throw her like… like he was a Pokemon "You gotta be kidding me."

A gust of wind soon blew and took the cloak, revealing be what seemed a mix of a Typhlosion and a Machamp with the claws of a Sandslash in each finger of his four muscular arms.

She took her daggers out and got into a battle stance, glad that the cars engines were busted by her little manipulations or they could escape.

"Typhlochamp." Derek said and the fused pokemon looked him. "Show her to not mess with me."

The Typhlochamp looks at her and roared, while fire typical of a Typhlosion appeared on his back.

"I should have taken the time to see if here is a money on your head…" she complained while running over her options in her mind. Looking at this beast, she determinates it has ground, fighting and fire type in its body… which means her dark moves are out of the question if she has to rely on her move pool. Luckily she is covered for the most common ones.

The Typhlochamp rushed at her with one of his fist covered in flames, ready for hit her with it. She moved aside, dodging the fist while slashing the side with her dagger, also cutting the other arm of the same side to harm it further. Then she jumped backwards to get some distance… it is a dangerous Pokemon but untrained to counter an assassin. So she began to look at her opponent to find a way to defeat it.

The fusion began to run against her with a fire enhanced Cross Chop. She waits and then rolled side to avoid the hit while her dagger gets slashes over the mon's leg. But that slashes doesn't stop him and kept chasing her. She keeps jumping around and slashes the larger but slower mon. Before she slipped under him and slammed her daggers into the knees, leaving them there.

He roared with the dagger in her knees, but he took them away with his lower hands, and made on a ball, beginning to roll with Flame Wheel, rolling as a meteor against slammed a few smoke bombs on the ground, covering her escape from this attack. But he kept chasing her ever with the smoke.

Which Causes her to wonder how this beast could follow her, if none of the pokemons used on it, could follow anybody through a thick sheet of smoke. Thought the smoke gave her another thing… charging up a shadow ball she shoot it directly at her opponent.

But a second shadow ball just hit her attack, revealing the second cloaked figure, which was took by itself, revealing a mixture of a Milotic with the vest and arms of a Gardevoir and the wings of a Swana.

"Did I replace the only human?" she muttered, while she threw darts at the psycho type and jumps forward with a roll on the ground to prevent a fire hit from the other opponent.

The psycho type stopped the needles but saw too late that a Toxic attack was hurled and impacts with her chest. But she made some movement and soon the toxic attack was reverted immediately.

"You have to be kidding, Heal Bell?" she cursed, soon avoiding a Dazzling Gleam from the female mixture, but had to duck for avoid a double slash from the other fusion. She growled and took a throwing knife, deciding to play differently.

Derek while was smiling seeing the battle when one of his men was with him. "Are you recording this?" He asked, beginning to recover from the toxin.

"I try but the smoke makes it difficult." stated the man as Myst got to the fairy type and slams the dagger into the stomach. But she saw it coming and put a barrier between both, blocking the dagger, giving time to the other to attack her from behind. But she dodges it and the hit makes contact with the barrier.

"Soon the world will know how my expert beasts Typhlochamp and Milovoir can deal with a legend as she."

Myst slammed another dagger into one of them.. this time at the most valuable spot of a male Pokemon that isn't a rock, steel or ghost type.

The Typhlochamp roared by that attack, holding that part with his lower hands and looking at Myst with daggers on his eyes. Before he found a thrown dagger in his neck. "That one is on you guys" she stated, turning to her other opponent, having three more daggers ready. "Be wise, else you join his fate."

"Ouch, I will have to do something about there later."

The man besides the doctor whimpered as he hold his spot.

The Milovoir only raised her hand and soon all the daggers she used were floating and aiming at her, before of be thrown against the assassin. Which hit her but bursts like a balloon while she unleashes a couple of more smoke bombs, covering the hybrid completely in smoke. Moving Myst keeps an eye on the Pokemon, laying out a pattern to attack once the… whatever it is called tries to attack her.

But the smoke began to dissipate because the Milovoir was using her wings for move the mist away, soon finding her and throwing some Hydro-Pulses at her.

Myst impacted with the wall in a groan in pain before she forces herself up and threw another object. Milovoir stopped it in mid air and grinned as she looked back at the opponent… who had sunglasses and headphones on?

The hybrid turns her head to the object, and its brain registered too late that it is a flash grenade, which went off, overloading her hearing and sight in such manner that her ringing ears broke her concentration. Not to mention that her sense of orientation was terrible off balance now. Myst stormed towards the mon in these moments of disorientation and rushed forward.

A guard who began to panic about how the assassin was still able to fight, began to fire his weapon, only for Myst to dive behind the larger Pokemon, and the bullets impacting with the still disorientated Hybrid Pokemon. Myst kept her current cover and cursed "One of the few times I would appreciate help. And it isn't here." All it needed were a chance to move to a better position and she could resume the plan… with changes.

But Derek was recovering from her poison, and taking the box with the pokemon, he runs away of there, soon hearing the sound of a helicopter getting near. "In the middle of the town?" she asks and began to dash, while the trail of bullets followed her. Much to her luck or unluck she heard police sirens closing in, so Dereks guards had to decide to either chase her or deal with the police.

Derek reached to a wide junction and saw the copter landing there, and Derek began to climb on it but he felt pain in his arm and saw that a throwing dart got stuck there. Pulling it out he looks at it and look over, seeing Myst reaching him.

"You're really a pain in the ass, you know?"

"Hey! I have a reputation!" she countered while pulling him off the copper with the cage "I am so in the mood to just send you to Giratina."

Then she punches him hard "But this will do…"

Kneeling down she picks the lock of the cage and the little Pokemon who was in there dashed out and hugs the Assassin as tight as her little body was able. Myst smiles and picks the little one up before she began to run to be not caught into the mess.

Only to hear a "Freeze!" Upon turning around she saw Victor and she glared at him "Really? NOW of all times you show up?"

"Miss, you're giving me a lot of headaches. Who could guess that catch you could be so hard?" Victor said, aiming his weapon to her. "And now, go with him." He waved his gun to Derek's direction.

"Sorry. Got a baby to deliver" she stated and slams her last two smoke bombs on the ground. But suddenly the smoke moved away before was able to cover her. She soon spotted a Honchkrow landing near of Victor, his gun still aiming at Myst.

"We had a deal" she stated while the little Pokemon in her arms are whimpering and holding on Myst.

"Yes, you had it, but with Locker, but not with me, and this is my deal: Give yourself voluntary, and say us at who we have to return it."

"You wouldn't believe me" Myst stated "And I prefer NOT let you face somebody that makes you wish to face a Gyrados rampaging the city."

Victor raised an eyebrow at her. "Really? Trust me, I met people that could make you wish to face the battle between Groudon and Kyogra AND between Dialga and Palka at the same time, you standing in the middle of the brawl."

"Had already the honors with Yvetal and Xerneas, thanks."

"We will talk about that, but now move with Derek. Or…" He said the last word aiming his gun… to the small pokemon.

"Don't dare" she snarled while narrowing her eyes "Don't dare to threaten her."

"You're trying to scare me? Leave me ask you something. Which is the meaning of the word 'Psychopath'?"

"Now starting to label me as one? As it is currently fitting you? How hypocritical" she stated as she scanned the area with her eyes… with Melanie in her arms she cannot do any of her stunts.

He shook his head. "In theory, a psychopath is somebody that doesn't care about the feelings of others. And yes, I'm one. One that doesn't care the reasons of why somebody breaks the law. 'I done it because he stalked my wife', 'I done it because he stole all my money', I done it because he killed my family', etc. All excuses without meaning for me. If you break the law, you must pay. And NOW, move."

She began to move "Threatening a child who is innocent… that crosses a line."

"Her health depends of you, and only of you."

"Which is going too far." stated Locker as he arrives "Why are you aiming at the Pokemon in her arms?"

"If if the only form of arrest her, I will do whatever is needed."

"Right now you risk your career here" Reasoned Locker as Myst keeps moving, her eyes scanning the situation.

"Fresh news for you, Locker, the Bosses knows about my methods. They thought that was needed somebody as me for capture her."

Derek soon began to rise from the ground, rubbing his face from the punch of before, seeing the situation.

"But if you can give me a better for capture her now, my ears are full open."

"First we deal with Derek" stated Locker, spotting the standing man. "He is awake."

"And that's what will happen. And please, don't try to teach me how do my work. I have done this thousands of times."

While both were discussing, Derek grabbed a hypo gun, and attacked Myst with it, but she spotted it and grabbed his arm with a free hand.

"Nice try!" she stated before hitting his face with her elbow.

He grunted but he tries to inject her with the hypo gun. But she keeps hold on his arm, struggling to keep hold, while Melanie squeals in fear.

"Hey, you two, stop!" Victor yelled, completely ignoring Locker and aiming at them. But suddenly something invisible hit him from behind, falling to the ground. Locker looks at Victor before the form blurred, revealing a real Zorua who snickers and turns to see what hit Victor, while the police officer's Pokemon were surprised by the sudden knocked out of its trainer. But neither saw what hit Victor.

Myst grit her teeth and as Derek hit on one of her wounds she hisses and her illusion dropped without her noticing. Dumb Looking, Derek were distracted and before he could react, Myst's instincts kicked in and she twists the arm holding the hypo gun making him hit himself on the other arm.

Derek groaned in pain, dropping the hypo gun and stumbles to the copter, getting inside. "Take off idiot! Hurry up!" He said groaning and holding his arm, while the copter began to take off, soon getting away of the area.

"Dammit" stated Myst, glaring after the escaping copper "Guess i have to hunt him later!" and she looks at Victor and the Zorua. Raising an eye the assassin stated "Didn't expect you here. Come let's get lost!"

The Zorua nodded and runs away with Myst, who noticed that her disguise were broken "Hope that nobody filmed that…"

Locker was staring aimless to the front with the mouth wide open and the eyes wide open, after of see Myst's real form, and thought for a moment. 'Nobody will believe me ever if I say something about this.' after a glance at Victor 'Well… except for him…'

Couple of hours later at the Harbor of Castelia City, walked Myst, now in the disguise of a wealthy woman down the path and stops as she reaches a spot where she and Daniel agreed to meet on.

Daniel was already there, staring the sea from the spot.

"How did things run at your end?" asks Myst as she winked to two Pokemons she hired to get her package on board of the cruiser.

"They went better than expected. It was a complete confusion for everyone. Nobody knew what happened. And you?"

"Derek escaped. He sent two of his hybrids at me. Not to mention that Victor seems to have prioritized me over arresting Derek on the spot." explained Myst before looking at the sleeping form in her arms "At least I got Melanie…"

The little mon was dressed up in a way that outsiders think that it is a normal dress wearing baby sneasel with the feather colored, like some trainers do to their Pokemons to give them an unique look.

Myst gave a slight smile "You know… looking at her makes me wish sometimes I have kids."

"Yes, but surely you remember what happened when you had a official mate."

"Yeah…" she mused "Anyway… thanks for your help. It was helping a lot here."

"You're welcome." He smiled.

She tossed him a set of keys "reserves keys for my apartment. Be free and raid all the food there. i won't be anywhere near for quite a while. Especially as I am going to take some holidays."

"I will keep that in mind." He said and looked Melanie. "Surely was a pain in the ass find any clue of her."

"Yeah… some other would have given up quite time ago. But as a good godmother I take care of those I care for." she chuckles "If you need any help… Alola is a nice place at this time of the year. And I want to see who becomes first champion after they finished up building their League."

"Alola?" He asked. "I thought go there for vacation someday." But then noted something about what she said. "What First champion?"

"Alola doesn't have a Pokemon League. They only recently announced that they are making one and open it up for everybody once they determined their Elite Four and first Champion of their history."

"Well, I was just thinking about their Insular Route, but maybe I participate on it." He said. "Also I heard that there the Poketians are less secretive, living alongside humans instead of hidden villages, but still hiding what they are."

"Perhaps I run into some." she replied "I send you a card once I get there" she promised before turning around heading for her ship "Well. Until we see each other again."

He nodded but then remembered something. "Eh, hold a moment. What happened with the Homo Stone that you took from me?"

"Is in my package right now" she replied "Want it back?"

"No, I just want know how you used it and if you had any problem with it."

"Only once as an Eevee mistook it for an evolution stone." she giggles "Boy was she lost."

"I see." He laughed to that.

"Anything else? I really don't want to be late for my ship." stated Myst "You can fool a Policeman only so long with an hired actor and her ditto at the airport."

"Okay, just watch out in what you do, okay?"

"Of course" she replied and began to go to the ship and boards it, while announcements of their departure is called out.

Daniel stares at her, wondering if he will meet her again.

In an isolated laboratory, some guards were worried while looking at a door. During a time, Derek was there, groaning and yelling in pain and anger, until that he stopped of do that noises, getting silence, and evidently nobody wanted to go inside of it.

But then Leviathan's President walked to them.

"Sir, what are you doing here?" Asked one of the guards to him.

"I am here to question Derek about his failings today's!" he stated "I were nearly arrested thanks for his lack of security! And the lost any of the Pokemon of this Project!"

"I-if you want see him, is behind the door, but… we don't dare to enter into." He said. "We're thinking that he is affected by one of his mutated DNA…"

he raised his eyebrow before going to the door opening it "Derek! You have to answer me a few questions!"

He saw the room was dark, and opened the lights. When he done it, he got scared and began to backstep, and soon he had the shadow of a bipedal pokemon formed by the light of the room, the guards only seeing the shadow getting from the door.

"You want answers?" Derek said, panting loudly. "Then first you must make me a favor!"

"Oh? And why should I do you a favor?" Suddenly he had what seemed a claw aiming at his face.

"What the?" he gasps in surprise and steps back "Call your Pokemon back!"

"That's the problem, President… I have no Pokemon here!"

"No Pokemon? Are you claiming to be a Pokemon now?" shouts the President.

Then 'Derek' got face to face to him. "You will aid me? As now I can't keep my experiments…"

"What are you asking for?" he asks irritated "Assistants? Bigger lab?"

"If you're trying to made fun of me, and if I had hands instead of claws, I would strangle you right now!" He said irritated by him for not see what he needed.

"No! Just trying to see what you need, aside from hands!"

Derek was angry and suddenly got to a side and made a wide slash to the wall with the claws.

"I promise it, cursed assassin. Someday you will pay for everything!" He promised with anger on his face.

"First you pay for your incompetence!" stated the president while moving to the door. "You'll get your chance soon enough."

Some months later in the headquarters of the international police Locker sat on his table and were filling out some paperwork as the post were brought. Locker nods and looked quickly through them, thought he was caught off guard as he saw a postcard from Alola with a phone number and a single word: Loki.

"Oh, please, not again…" Locker groaned face slapping himself before picking up his phone and dialed the number "I will so regret it properly."

It didn't take long before the call was picked up and a voice told "Hi Loki! How's Viki?"

"Myst… what happens now?"

"Just calling from my Holidays." she stated "And curious how all of you are doing. So, Victor still after me?"

"Well, after of fail on capture Derek and you, he had a lot of troubles with the superiors, and after a time he was transferred to another unit."

"Not a surprise. Care to come over? Found something you might call interesting… and you should take holidays as well." said Myst "Could even get you some cozy hotel rooms."

"Unless you-" began Looker but the words Myst said next… made him stop. After moments he told "I call you again… I have to see somebody." and ends the call "How did she find that out?" and rose up to talk with his superior.
