"So, what was the favour? Did professor Oats give you the humiliating task of doing a few household chores?" The cop asked, Calamari flashed the cop a death glare at his questions.

"There was no favour." Calamari said darkly, the cop looked at him with a shocked expression then cleared her throat.

"Okay, so if she didn't ask for a favour, what did she ask for?"


"Bell bell" Calamari heard a voice say as he slept on the bed Oats had prepared for him, he recognized the voice and knew it's intention but he purposefully ignored it. He wanted to steal as much sleep from the professor as he could.

"Bell?" His pokemon asked as his vine poked him in the ribs, Calamari groaned at the touch. "I'll be up soon, just don't bother me." Calamari grubbled sleepily as he continued sleeping. As he laid back down on his pillow he heard a few quiet whipers a few feet away from him, but chose to ignore them, until...

"Whis!" His pokemon screamed, Calamari quickly opened his eyes and sat upright, turning his eyes towards the noise. He growled at the two creatures who at the moment where holding his precious Whiscash by his whiskers. His young pokemon looked up at his oppressors with a terrified expression, Calamari growled.

"Let her go!" Calamari yelled, the two strangers chuckled at his reqquest and let Whiscash free...to fall onto the ground with a loud thud. Calamari ran over to his pokemon and held it in his arms, cradling it.

"Don't worry Whiscash, it'll be alright, these bad men won't hurt you again." Calamari said in a shaky voice, he then looked at the two strangers and growled.

"What the heck do you two idiots want?" He asked, the two men chuckled. "Oh not much mister Calamari, we just want to bring you to justice." The man on his right said with a chuckle, the other man laughed. "Yes mister Calamari, a private contract has offered a large bounty on you. As mercenaries we took the contract and as a result we have to bring you in." The man to his left said before they both went into fits of laughter, Calamari glared at them.

"Okay then, I could care less for your foolishness in this matter, but I would like to know how you knew I was here." Calamari asked, the men laughed before answering. "You'll have to ask Panini that question mister Calamari." The man on the left said, Calamari growled.


"It was a trap, turns out the pink rabbit girl spied on Chowder and Maylene's conversation. She called her mother and told her that I'd be coming near the town soon, also told her what I did." Calamari said darkly before smashing his fist on the table.

"God dammit, this is why I never look out for anyone, they always betray me! Dad always said to never place your trust in anyone, never make friends! I should've listened to him, now i'm just as stupid as my brother!" Calamari screamed angrily, the cop raised an eyebrow at his rant. "Your brother? Your file doesn't say you have a brother." The cop said with a questioning tone. Calamari shrugged.

"He's a good kid, he's actually a gym leader in Sunnyshore city. Duke took over after Volkner quit his position to become an elite four. Duke's a fire type trainer, I remember catching his first pokemon for him and starting him off on his road to becoming the powerful guy he is now. Hehe, back then I was actually the champion." Clamari said with a chuckle, the cop smiled.

"You never said that before, you were the leaugue champion." The cop said, Calamari smiled. "Oh yeah, I beat those dudes bad. They placed me on a salary to be the league champion and gave me authority to hire elite four memebers and Gym leaders internationally. I still have that authority, and I still am the champion, I just chose to forget it all." Calamari said, the cop looked at him with a strange glance.

"I'm not sure I understand mister Calamari, if you are who you say you are, why do you live the life you live. You could be a big celebrity, you are already a powerful force in the pokemon world based on your authority, and you could also be extremely rich. Why do you do this to yourself?" The cop asked, Calamari gave a small smile.

"I guess I just decided that the life of a bigwig wasn't for me, I preferred wandering."
