The court had decided that Felix was innocent, but if they don't find the real culprit soon, Felix will be found guilty of the crime anyway. If it was an attempt to scare Phoenix and his crew away, it had failed as it had only boosted their morale. Phoenix and his co-workers were more determined than ever to find the real culprit.

There was a possibility that Queen Elsa was involved in the crime. Being the ruler of her own kingdom, she would be free to do whatever she chose. She was in a very high position to do so. She would not be able to be charged or arrested. Hans did plot to kill her, so she could have easily ordered someone to get revenge for her. If the culprit was Anna, she would do whatever it took to clear her name. It was no secret that she adored her sister.

If you saw Anna walking down the street, the word killer would not come to mind. Even know her, Olaf and Kristoff confirmed each other's alibis it was likely they could also be lying to protect one another. It didn't feel right to imagine any of them as the killer. Lance's behaviour still perplexed Phoenix. Why was he so determined to put Felix behind bars? Could he possibly be the culprit that they need to set Felix free?

Phoenix had asked Apollo to do a background search on Lance. Apollo and Athena were more competent at technology then he was, although he didn't like to admit it.

"I've got it," Apollo said. "There's a criminal organisation in his game known as Team Rocket who use pokemon for profit. Their leader was a man named Giovanni, the former gym leader of Viridian City. Giovanni's current location is unknown. His only son, Silver is one of Lance's great allies. Lance and Silver, along with their affiliates are trying to shut down Team Rocket altogether."

"Maybe Team Rocket have a new leader," Athena suggested.

Apollo scrolled down the files on the laptop. With each fact, Apollo gave, "Team Rocket apparently disbanded in 1996, but reformed in 1999. Despite many attempts to get Giovanni back, they were unsuccessful."

"Hans is the new leader of Team Rocket," Athena announced.

Phoenix and Apollo both rolled their eyes at Athena. They both in unison scratched their head. Trucy said nothing and sat down on the coach, waiting eagerly for Athena's explanation.

"What makes you think Hans is the new leader of Team Rocket?" Phoenix asked. "It would make more sense if Lance is the leader of Team Rocket."

"Actually... Lance being the leader of Team Rocket makes no sense at all."

"Think of it this way," Phoenix said to Athena. "If Team Rocket had disbanded multiple times, why are they still able to come back. Why are people in charge of Team Rocket still not behind bars. Lance has enough power to put them all behind bars, he's had this power for years and he still hasn't used it."

"But Lance is a dragon master," Athena reminded Phoenix. She knew that Lance was and would never be the leader of Team Rocket. "If he was truly the leader of Team Rocket, then the grunts would use dragon type pokemon. Team Rocket grunts normally use common poison, normal and dark types. I've got proof that Hans was recruited as the leader of Team Rocket."

"Please show us," Phoenix requested.

Athena presented Phoenix a picture of Felix's hammer. Phoenix dropped his jaw. "The hammer? Really, Athena?"

"Apollo's research has proven that Team Rocket have fallen to utter ruin. That's why Hans stole Felix's hammer. He wanted to fix Team Rocket and restore it to their former glory. Hans was going to use Team Rocket to take over the world!"

"That's quite far-fetched don't you think?" Apollo asked Athena.

"The killer must be a pokemon trainer," Athena declared. It narrowed down a lot of suspects. It meant that anyone who originated from the game, Frozen was no longer a suspect. It now felt like a completely different case. Athena patted Apollo's back. "Thank you Apollo. Thanks to you, we're one step closer to solving the case."

"So what shall we do now?" Trucy asked.

"I sensed a huge mixture of happiness and determination," Athena announced. "He's trying to save somebody. Maybe he's trying to cover up for the real culprit."

"My bracelet was reacting big time around him too," Apollo admitted.

"I wonder what other cases Lance was involved in?" Athena asked.

"Hey look!" Apollo cried out. "I found an article from 2009. Silver and a girl named Lyra were put on trial for murdering a girl named Kris. Kristoph Gavin was their defence attorney. Because of Lance, they were found not guilty."

"This just keeps on getting better," Phoenix sighed. "Apollo, you should print it out. This could be great evidence for tomorrow's trial."

Within two clicks the article was printed out. Phoenix picked up the paper as the article was automatically added to the court record.

The Cool Attorney Of The West Saves Two Children

Kristoph Gavin was able to prove two children, named Silver and Lyra innocent of the murder of a girl named Kris. Due to legal reasons, their surnames cannot be disclosed in this article. "This is great justice," says Head of the Game Central Police Department. "I always knew they were innocent and I will hunt far and wide for the real killer to be brought to justice."

During the trial, evidence was found to suggest that Team Rocket had reformed with a new leader known to be a prince. The court had decided that the new leader of team rocket, is Kris' real killer. On the last say of the trial a young girl named Iris testified that Kris was a very good friend of hers and that she saw the man who did the crime.

Police continue to search for Team Rocket's new head quarters and shall arrest anyone found to be a member of the organisation.

"Now if only there was a way to bring these people into court tomorrow," Apollo said. "Then we can set Felix free once and for all!"

"They'll be there!" Athena grinned with her arms folded.

No one had any idea what Athena had done or what she knew, but the second day of the trial was about to get interesting to say the least.
