Wes and Rui reached her grandfather's house together. As they entered, they were greeted by an elder women, and Rui greeted her as Grandmother.
She greeted Wes as well, and was thankful that he took good care of her.
"We were worried, as we heard she got kidnapped, but I am glad she is fine! But she shouldn't do anything risky anymore!" Rui's Grandma exclaimed.
But her Grandfather shook his head. "I fear that is not possible… they kidnapped her for a reason, and I doubt that reason wore off with time..."
"That's right Grandpa. They took me because I can identify their Shadow Pokémon." Told Rui. "So I am not also a treat to them… but one of the only ways to identify a Shadow Pokémon right now!" replied Rui.
"But why did they want to destroy the relic?" asked Rui's Grandma.
"Because it can purify the Shadow Pokémon," told Wes. "So we need an idea how to protect it from further attacks of Cipher."
"Well… how about you stay here until reinforcements arrive?" Suggested Rui's Grandfather. "If we tell the police about these actions, they would send people to protect the shrine in case of further attacks."
Wes shook his head "I doubt that! The police force here in Orre is too caught up in the daily business to take action in this."
"Don't be so pessimistic Wes!" scolded Rui.
Wes laughed at that. "I snagged Pokémon in front of their eyes, and they still didn't catch me! And somehow they still don't even have a CLUE what I look like!"
Rui stared in unbelief. "How is that possible? If you really stole Pokémon in front of their eyes, how could they not know how you look?"
Wes only shrugged "I have no idea… all I know is that this is fact…"
Rui still stared at him, until Wes' PDA rang.
He took it out, commenting, "Ducking send us a Massage"
After reading it, he looked surprised. "Mt. Battle is under attack!"
Rui looked at him, "The same Mt. Battle were you looked for David?"
Wes nodded, "Yes! It seems Cipher is taking their next step!"
"We cannot go! Think of the Relic Stone!" told Rui.
Wes, on the other hand, shook his head ."I know, but I also got a note from David… they are too caught up in fights at the moment, and making sure that this lab they invaded is no longer useful, that they couldn't reach it in time. But we are able!"
Rui bit her lip, until her Grandfather told her, "In case they tried again, I can get everybody in the town. After an action like that I think we can make up a defense line with ease."
Suddenly, Wes remembered the case he was taking along all the time. "I am an idiot! David wouldn't have given me this case without having something in mind!"
He rushed out after that. The others followed him back to the Relic Stone and at that time, Wes opened the case. It contained a set of 12 Pokéballs, and they suddenly opened and released a set of Pokémon.
One of them was a Gallade that made a bow, looked around a bit, and asked with telepathy while pointing the Relic Stone "Is this the artifact we are supposed to defend?"
Wes was taken off-guard by that, but nodded "Yes. David told me to open this case after finding the artifact to purify the Shadow Pokémon."
The Gallade nodded, and with the other Pokémon, they took positions around it, like a defense circle.
Rui looked baffled. "He gave you Pokémon to protect the Shrine?"
Wes nodded, also baffled. "That seems to be the case…"
