(Tuesday Morning)

Andrew was up before anyone else was he had business to attend to and wanted to sneak out before anyone would realize he was gone. He packed up his stuff again, got dressed, put the belt that had all his pokeballs on and his mega ring and silently went down the stairs. Once down he grabbed an apple out of the fruit bowl and left out the front door. He locked the door and called out Flygon and climbed aboard and flew off in the direction of Los Angeles. It was a short fly there and once we he was he waited in the lobby of the hotel that some of his elite four were at. It was about a 10 minute walk to the LA Convention Center, but right now he wanted to meet with the four staying here.

Morgan was the first down, he was followed by Tina, then Tony and last was Melissa. They all took a seat in the lobby around a coffee table and then turned their focus onto Andrew who has been sitting there waiting for them.

"About time you four decided to come down here. I texted all of you when I left Sacramento to make sure you were all up and down here waiting for me, but like most of the time you are all late," Andrew said annoyed.

"We just didn't know how early you would have got here," replied Morgan.

"It's a 5 to 6 hour drive from my house to LA, it was a 20 to 25 minute flight for myself and Flygon. You of all people should know how fast my Flygon is Morgan. I've been more than clear with all of you that my top priority is stopping Team Darkness and all I want from you all is some help. Is that too much to ask for. I hand picked you all because you are more than capable of handling a task," stated Andrew.

"Ok, Andrew I get it your a little on edge because of a lot of things going on at once. We are ready to help you just tell us what you want us to do," replied Morgan.

"Morgan and Tina head to the hotel just south of here. Locate the German Champion and question him if he gives you a hard time tell him you are following my instructions and if he doesn't like it he can take it up with me, and if he puts up a fight just have him detained and then we'll fly him back to Germany. Tony and Melissa head over to the coffee shop just down the block from here. I have someone meeting you there. She is a former employee of Seraph Co. she says she has something that might help us better understand their actions and intentions. After listening to her walk into Seraph Co. and hand the CEO's secretary this letter. On this letter is an order to stop the tournament if they do not the Pokemon League will take affirmative action," Andrew took a breath before continuing what he was saying. "I will head to Torrance, CA I'm meeting someone there that knows the CEO of Seraph Co. quite well she should be able to shed even more light on them and if all goes well I will then have a conversation with their CEO and we'll be able to come to an agreement whether he likes it or not," said Andrew.

Andrew stood up and called out his Flygon and flew off. Morgan and Tina left and headed towards the hotel and Melissa and Tony left too the coffee shop they were asked to go to. Andrew was well aware that the deal with the German Champion may end up with a battle, he was actually expecting it. He is more than aware of how he operates and how he battles. Andrew changed up his team before he left Sacramento, he left Gengar and Magnezone at home, he added Dusknoir and Gliscor. Both these pokemon are going to be tricky to pick up on. Dusknoir is the complete opposite to Gengar, Gengar is fast Dusknoir is not. Gengar has the hypnosis and dream eater combo, Dusknoir doesn't. Andrew does in fact have one trick on this Dusknoir and that is trick room. He will use that to speed up Dusknoir just like he would use hail to speed up Glaceon. Gliscor will be the speed pokemon on Andrew's team for now. He too will be hard to pick up on.

(In Torrance, CA)

It was a short flight between LA and Torrance and once Andrew landed he called out Glaceon and they walked through town. Torrance wasn't the largest city nor was it the smallest Andrew has been to, but it does have the view of being able to see the ocean. As he was walking through an area in which Andrew would classify the people here rich, he looked across the street to see some police hassling a trainer and his pokemon. Andrew knew he couldn't just leave that alone so he walked across the street and walked over to them.

"Get out of our way and put the Pokemon away we don't care for the type of people you are," ordered the Police Officer to the other trainer.

"And what type of people would that be?" questioned Andrew walking over to the two police officers and the trainer.

"You, pokemon trainer types," replied the police officer.

"Why is that?" asked Andrew.

"We don't have to answer all these questions. Just do as your told and return the pokemon," replied the police officer.

"And if I don't," Andrew shot back at the two officers.

"We'll force you to," replied the officer taking a step towards Andrew.

This movement didn't sit well with Andrew's Glaceon and he jumped in front of Andrew started growling at the officers. His tail stood straight up into the air and the fur on his back stood up as well. The officers looked down at Glaceon and almost laughed. They couldn't believe that Glaceon would be able to defend Andrew and tried to take a step forward. Glaceon wasn't going to have any of that and he shot off a shadow ball towards the feet of the officers. The two officers jumped back and, Andrew and the other trainer they stopped took off. Andrew made it to what looks like the middle class area of the city. He was now tracking down Warren and his dad's apartment to talk to them.

It didn't take him long to find the apartment and he walked up to it and knocked on the door. He stood there for a few moments before Warren's dad answered the door. The older man looked over Andrew before shouting for Warren to come to the door. Warren walked over to the door and to his surprise Andrew standing out there.

"Odd, I would've never thought I would see you at my door," said Warren.

"It's not that odd. I'm just here to pick your brains about something, you two will know about," replied Andrew.

"I see come on in," said Warren opening the door.

Andrew walked in and took a seat on the floor. Warren and his dad took a seat across from him. Andrew then took out a folder from his backpack and handed it over to Warren. Warren opened the folder and saw that Andrew and the Pokemon League was going after the Seraph Co. the two of them looked at each other than back at Andrew.

"Why are you going after them?" asked Warren.

"I have some proof that they are helping Team Darkness. I believe if I have to get involved with them I want enough to nail them to a wall and force them to back off," replied Andrew.

"I see," said Warren handing Andrew back the folder.

"How can we help?" asked Fran (Warren's dad.)

"You two have dealt with them a lot. So you two must know how they operate," replied Andrew.

"We do and we can share with you some of what we know," said Warren.

"Thank you both," replied Andrew.

"We better start with their CEO then Roque. He is ruthless and gutless, he doesn't care who you are and he'll defiantly don't want hear from you after what you did to Rainer his son. He is willing to lie, cheat and pay his way to get anything he wants. He basically thinks he can do what he wants with no consequences since he'll just pay them off. Most people would be scared of him if you would meet him," said Warren.

"I see a person like him relies on power to scare others. I'm not scared of him I'll march right into his office and say what I have to say whether he wants to hear it or not," replied Andrew.

"You'll need that courage when meeting a person like Roque otherwise you'll make a show of you," said Warren.

"What about Blaine?" asked Andrew.

Warren didn't say a word for a few moments. Everything about Blaine hit him all at once he remembered the good and the bad about him.

"What about him?" asked Warren response.

"I see I touched a subject you'd rather not talk about, but knowing he here right now I need to know what to expect from him," replied Andrew.

"Are you serious? he's here," asked Warren.

"Yeah he is staying in LA at the moment. I have two of my elite four stopping him and talking to him," replied Andrew.

Their was a brief moment of silence as Warren thought about the times he spent with Blaine and how close they were.

"I get it Warren you don't want to talk about him. That's fine I think I have everything I need I best not taking anymore of your time. Till next time Warren stay well," said Andrew getting up to leave.

Warren walked with Andrew over to the door to show him out. When they got to the door Warren spoke up again before Andrew left.

"Andrew, I would like to talk to you more without my dad around for personal reasons. If it won't be to much trouble I'd like to walk with over to Wilson Park and we can talk some more," said Warren.

"Sure we can lead the way then," replied Andrew.

After leaving the apartment Warren called out his pokemon and they all walked over to Wilson Park. Hiro his Lucario took a seat on the bench on one side of Warren on the other Andrew was sitting down.

"So what was so important that we had to walk all the way over to talk?" asked Andrew.

"My dad knows what I'm going to share with you. If you already don't know Blaine was born here in the states, but after his actions he was banished to Germany with some relatives where he became Champion of that region," replied Warren.

"I already knew that about him. With I like to know who I'm dealing with so I spent some time yesterday looking him up," said Andrew.

"If you looked him up you probably looked me up too?" asked Warren.

"If you must know I did. I know a lot about you even though I may have only meet you briefly. Like I know your mother died of cancer some years back," replied Andrew.

Warren looked down and started to cry remembering that. Even though it had been some years it still brought a tear to his eye thinking about him mom.

"Warren, I'm sorry if I said anything that would upset you," apologized Andrew.

"Do you know what it's like to have a family member go through it was painful to watch," Warren said through his tears.

"Unfortunately, I may not know that feeling, but my family does. My dad died of cancer when I was a year old. I don't remember much of him, but what I have been told he was a good trainer and a better father," replied Andrew.

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Warren.

"Don't be sorry. The way I look at it is that what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. We have to live with what happened to them, but you can't let it eat at you all your life. You'll eventually have to grow up and move on, you'll find that other person in your life that will fill that void. I had my grandfather and brother-in-law that I looked up to as father figures. Now when I grow older and have children of my own I want to be a good father to them no matter what happens," replied Andrew.

"You don't get it my mom had one dream and that was to be Champion. That is why I battle I want to accomplish her dreams," said Warren.

"Warren, that's going to be hard to do. You have be able to beat my elite four plus then battle me. You know I'm no slouch when it comes to battling you watched as I beat your rival with ease," replied Andrew.

"You don't understand I will not rest till I accomplish my mom's goal even if it means beating you," said Warren looking right at Andrew.

Andrew stood from the bench before beginning to talk back.

"Warren, you have to understand that is her dream not yours. You need to let that go and follow your dream whatever that may be. If you can't how can you be happy with your life. You need to think long and hard about it. Everyone has dreams they want and it will fill so good to accomplish your own dream. You just have to remember the good about your mom," replied Andrew.

"I need to accomplish her dream in order for her to rest in peace knowing that her dream didn't fall in vein," said Warren.

Andrew just looked at him and shook his head. He then turned and was about to walk away. That was before Warren stopped him.

"Andrew, let's get our minds off this and have a training battle. A simple 3 on 3 battle. Loser buys winner lunch," said Warren.

"I'm game for that," replied Andrew.

Both of them take a spot in the park and got ready. Warren already knew which pokemon he was using and that is Hiro his Lucario, Fiora his Vileplume and Nitin his Greninja. Warren then begun to wonder what three pokemon Andrew is going to use. Andrew thought a few moments and then knew exactly what three he going to use. He wanted to use Dusknoir, Flygon, and his Lucario.

"When ever you are ready we can begin this battle," said Andrew.

"Ok let's go," replied Warren.

(Training Battle: Andrew vs. Warren)

"Go Nitin," said Warren tossing out his pokeball.

Out popped a Greninja standing in front of Warren ready for battle. Andre took a moment and he was more than ready for him and he unclipped Dusknoir's pokeball and tossed him out.

"Oh, Great I have no idea what to expect from him," said Warren looking over at the Gripper Pokemon floating in front of Andrew.

"Dusknoir use trick room,"

Dusknoir's red eye turned green and created a cube that surrounded the whole battling area. Nitin took this opportunity to launch an attack of his own and used dark pulse. Nitin stood straight up and sent rays of purple at Dusknoir. After Dusknoir finished setting up trick room he brought his hands up to take the blow from the dark pulse attack.

"It's our turn Dusknoir use thunderpunch,"

Dusknoir vanished from where he was to just next to Nitin and one of his hands crackled with thunder just as he was about to deliver a direct hit to Nitin, Nitin used substitute to take the hit for him. Nitin watched as the thunderpunch just leveled his substitute.

" Damn that Dusknoir sure moves quick. I don't want to take a hit from that thing" said Nitin watching as he substitute was leveled. (For this battle I will use italics when a pokemon is speaking.)

"It doesn't stop there Dusknoir show him ominous wind,"

Dusknoir brought both hands in front of him and sent a guest of purple wind at Nitin. Nitin brought up his frog like hands to block the wind to getting to his face.

"Nitin trick room is making Dusknoir faster than us so be careful," warned Warren.

"Great catching on. Normally it takes a while for a trainer to understand why I use trick room, but you caught on right away. The main reason I do use it is because I like my ghost pokemon to be quick and the way Dusknoir can move while trick room is up is amazing. He can almost move just as fast maybe faster than my Gengar can normally," Andrew replied.

Andrew was thinking about the battle and how Greninja can use substitute. When he noticed something odd Warren has not once gave a command to his pokemon. Andrew thought about a few of his battles and cannot think of a time that has happened before. Andrew then realized that Warren and his pokemon have close bond and Warren knows that his pokemon can make the right decision in battle.

"Let's try this on for size. Dusknoir use shadow ball,"

Dusknoir brought both his hands together and made a dark shadowy ball between them. He then sent it at Nitin, Nitin was quick to react and he sent a shuriken made of water at it. This shuriken destroyed the ball and he know sent more at Dusknoir. Dusknoir wasn't going to be idle and take this hits, he covered both his hands in electricity and fought back using a thunderpunch to destroy each shuriken.

"Expect for the first dark pulse I have been unable to use an attack on him. I need to think quickly in order to land an attack before he can," said Nitin.

Nitin sent rays of dark energy at Dusknoir who dodged them with ease by using his speed that made him look like he vanished.

"Dusknoir grab that frog and deliver a thunderpunch,"

Dusknoir reappeared to the side of Nitin and grabbed one of Nitin's frog-like hands and lifted him off the ground. Once he was off the ground Dusknoir then readied his other hand. That other hand was crackling with thunder just before punching the ninja pokemon in the gut. After delivering that hit Dusknoir dropped Nitin to the ground and flew back over to Andrew. Nitin found himself faced down in the dirt.

"That should just be enough," said Andrew looking at Nitin in the dirt.

To the shock of Andrew Nitin stood back up and onto to his feet. Nitin's head hung low and he was breathing hard.

"Let me warn you Nitin may have survived a direct thunderpunch, but he won't be so luck this time," Andrew said looking over the Ninja pokemon before giving Dusknoir the last attack. " Dusknoir use focus blast,"

Dusknoir charged a powerful brown-orange attack in between his hands. Nitin stood there breathing hard not aware of what was about to hit him. After a few more seconds Dusknoir sent the power blast at Nitin. Nitin lifted up his head and was in shock when he that powerful attack coming at him. The blast hit Nitin and sent him flying all the way till he was laying next to his trainer, fainted.

"You did your best Nitin, Return," said Warren recalling his fallen pokemon.

"Return Dusknoir," recalled Andrew.

"Andrew is unlike any trainer or gym leader I have faced before. I mean I knew what to expect, he is the champion for a reason, but still the power his Dusknoir had was impressive. I have already learned so much about how he battles. He doesn't waste a single move in battle each attack he does has a purpose. I took all that in even thought this was just the start of our battle," thought Warren thinking about that battle between Nitin and Dusknoir.

Warren looked over at Hiro the Lucario who was just standing up from the bench he was sitting at a few moments ago. Hiro looked ready to battle. Hiro walked over and stood in front of Warren ready to go.

"So it looks like your Lucario is going next, so let me introduce you to my Lucario. Go Lucario," said Andrew tossing Lucario's pokeball.

Both Lucario's locked eyes ready to fight each other. Each didn't take their eyes off the other waiting to see who will make the first move. Hiro closed his eyes to better understand the aura power Andrew's Lucario had. And what he saw was amazing, Andrew's Lucario had complete control over it and that the device on Andrew's Lucario's right paw had a lot admitting from it.

"Hiro how's it look?" asked Warren.

"I don't know how to explain it. His Lucario is impressive the control he has is amazing. I can't wait to start this battle with him," replied Hiro.

"Lucario use aura sphere," said Andrew.

Andrew's Lucario focused his aura into the palm of his left paw and it transformed into a sphere. He then sent the sphere at Hiro who made his own aura sphere to counter it. Both aura sphere's hit one another and exploded. The smoke didn't cover the battle area rather drifted into the air and away from the park.

This time Hiro went for and attack as he made a dark blue pulse when he brought his two paws together. He then sent this pulse right at Andrew's Lucario who flipped to the side to dodge the attack. After Hiro noticed that Andrew's Lucario dodged the attack he picked up speed and ran at his Lucario. Hiro punched a few times and then kicked him.

"Extremespeed and dragon pulse on Warren's Lucario that is a good moveset. The problem with that is he still has to deal with mine. Lucario show him close combat," said Andrew.

While Hiro was still in front of Andrew's Lucario, Andrew's Lucario returned the kick to the side of the head and then punched Hiro a few times in the gut. These punches to the gut knocked the breath out of Hiro.

"Lucario now jump back and use aura sphere again,"

Andrew's Lucario jumped from in front of Hiro to just in front of him a few feet away. Lucario charged up and focused his aura into a sphere in his left paw. Once the attack was ready he then sent it at him. The sphere was sent right into the gut of Hiro and sent him flying back into a tree just behind Warren. Hiro jumped of the tree and shrugged it off. He was breathing heavily but so was Andrew's they both were tired for differnet reasons. Hiro just took a close combat and an aura sphere. While Andrew's Lucario was feeling the effects the close combat.

"Hiro has already taken a beating it's still earlier though he can get back into we have been in this type of situation before and he knows how to get out of it," said Warren examining the battle.

Hiro looked over at Lucario and then started to pick up speed again. Once at Andrew's Lucario he once again delivered a few punches and kicks. This time around it did even more damage to Andrew's Lucario. This didn't faze Andrew one bit he still had this focused look on his face and his Lucario still stood strong.

"What am I going to do to knock him down?" questioned Hiro.

"Lucario use thunderpunch,"

Andrew's Lucario ran at Hiro with his left paw crackling with electricity. Hiro jumped back and readied a sphere of aura in the palm of his paw. Andrew looked at that with a smile on his face. It was the same smile he had earlier as if he already knew that was going to happen. Andrew's Lucario stopped charging the thunderpunch and then his left leg became coated in fire and he then jumped at Hiro and delivered a powerful blaze kick. This blaze kick found it home on the side of Hiro head and it sent him flying to his left into a rock. Hiro tried to stand, but he fell back to the ground and fainted.

"Hiro, I can't believe it. He was one of my best and Andrew's Lucario beat him," said Warren.

"Warren, Hiro is extremely strong, but you need to understand you made a mistake in what Lucario can do. I'll admit Hiro gave my Lucario a fight, but in the end one simple mistake can change the outcome of a battle," replied Andrew.

"Return Hiro, and go Fiora," said Warren returning Hiro and tossing out Fiora.

Now in front of Warren was Fiora the Vileplume. She stood strong and ready to defend herself during whatever pokemon she will face of Andrew's. Andrew looked over at Lucario and returned him he then unclipped his last pokeball and held it up in front of him.

"Warren inside this pokeball is one of my trusted pokemon. He has not let me down and will not even in this battle. This pokemon is Flygon my ace of the air. He is a better flier then my Charizard and is fast on his feet. The reason I'm telling you this is to let you know just who you are dealing with. My Flygon is not known for holding anything back. I hope your ready," said Andrew tossing out Flygon's pokeball.

Warren looked into the sky to see Flygon flying around. He knew what Flygon is capable of he just doesn't know how long Fiora is going to last. She is his best defense, but still Andrew's Flygon is a powerful attacker. This will be the classic Offense vs. Defense only won is going to win.

"Flygon let's not waste any time and use flamethrower,"

Flygon stopped flying and sent a stream of flames at Fiora. Fiora created a green shield that protected her from taking any damage from those flames. After the flames stopped coming Fiora now unleashed a powerful bright light that went at Flygon. She wasn't the only that quick to do something Flygon sent a storm of dirt that he kicked up from his wings. The sandstorm stopped the dazzling gleam and that start ended in a draw.

"Flygon use dragon pulse,"

Flygon opened his mouth and made and sent a dark blue orb at Fiora. She once again was ready and before the attack landed she created a copy of herself that took the hit for her.

"Hmm... this Vileplume is extremely defensive. I know she has attacks, but I don't know how powerful they are so I think I want to attack her I might have to use my sandstorm trick I just need to be able to use sandstorm and trap her in it," thought Andrew.

"That Flygon sure lives up to what I have heard about him," said Warren.

"Flygon use flamethrower again,"

Flygon sent a stream of fire right at Fiora. She once again was ready and created a green shield around herself. This green shield protected her from everything.

"Flygon now use sandstorm,"

Flygon let up on the flamethrower and then got close to the ground and he then flapped his wings and once again kicked up dust and sent it at Fiora. The dust circled around her trapping her in it. Andrew was now ready to use the last attack that will end this battle.

"Flygon use draco meteor,"

Flygon flew back into the air and sent a single . This single meteor then exploded into smaller ones and those crashed into the ground many of them nailed the Fiora and crashed into the mushroom on top of her head. After the sandstorm subsided and the meteors stopped crashing into her Fiora still stood shaken up but still strong.

"Wow I was not expecting to see something like. I was sure that, that combo would be the end. I must give you some kudos that Fiora managed to survive that combo," acknowledged Andrew.

"Thanks she is a great defense pokemon. I enjoy having her on my team. She can use some attacks too you know," replied Warren.

"All I have seen was dazzling gleam I haven't seen anything that impressive," shot back Andrew.

Andrew returned his focus to the battle. Fiora now sent vines to try and grab Flygon in the air. After the first few missed eventually they did find their mark and trap Flygon. The vines started to drain Flygon's energy.

"Flygon this our time now use flamethrower,"

Flygon while getting his energy drained managed to send off a stream of fire that finally nails Fiora. Fiora had to withdraw the vines and that caused Flygon to crash to the ground. Even crashing to the ground he kept up the fire attack. She couldn't stop the attack from hitting and the flames kept hitting her and eventually it became to much and she too fainted like the other two pokemon. This battle was finally over.

"That was fun and thrilling at the same time," acknowledged Andrew walling over to his dragon.

"Yeah you can say that again. I mean you are better they say and respect you for that," replied Warren.

"That means a lot to me thanks for saying that," said Andrew.

(After the Battle)

"A deal is a deal let's go get lunch I know this small noodle restaurant I think you'll enjoy that," said Warren.

Andrew and Warren walked over to this noodle bar and took a seat on the table. Hiro was once again out of his pokeball and sitting next to Warren. Hiro still ahd some of the scratches from the battle but overall filling a lot better. They all ordered noodles and continued to talk.

"Andrew did I do anything wrong in the battle we had?" asked Warren.

"It wasn't you did anything wrong it was you lost to better trained pokemon. There's nothing you could have done different in that battle. You got the most out of each pokemon and that's all you can expect from them," replied Andrew.

Before Warren could respond Andrew receives a phone call it was Morgan calling from LA.

"Well Warren I have to take this. It's rather important I'll be back as soon as I get off then we can finish this conversation before I leave.

(Phone Call)

Andrew walked outside and answered the phone.

"Hey Morgan," answered Andrew.

"Andrew you're on speaker and I'm sitting with Tina, Melissa, and Tony," replied Morgan.

"Great this saves me time from calling all you," said Andrew.

"I'll start. Tina and I made our way to meet with Blaine and once we got to his hotel we found that he was gone and that he checked out of his hotel an hour ago. The young lady in the lobby said that he left after he got off the phone with someone. Everyone in that hotel said he left pissed and angry. He did mention that he had to fly back to Germany now before he suffered a more serve punishment," said Morgan.

"Good that's one less problem to deal with and how about Seraph Co.?" asked Andrew.

"Well Tony meet with the lady and she gave us a lot of info on them. Let's just say that there is enough to get their CEO removed. After hearing from her we walked into the building and handed his secretary the note. A few minutes later he called Jen in DC she said that she'll call you in a little bit about some details she has but from what we know he did say he will stop the tournament and will back off on making deals with Team Darkness," said Melissa.

"This day has been going great then. I would be ling if I didn't expect to have confront both of them, but thanks to you guys I can fly back to Sacramento after I'm done here. Thanks for making my life a little easier today. I want you four to fly home or back DC whatever you want. You all deserve some time off. Just be back by the 30th of October for our Halloween Celebration in DC," replied Andrew.

"Hey, Andrew this is our job to make your life easy know we can all focus our attention on stopping Team Darkness," said Morgan.

"I agree with that," replied Andrew.

"Andrew we'll talk to you later oh and Andrew all of us here want to wish you an early happy Birthday just encase we forget to call you Thursday the 21st," said Morgan hanging up.

Andrew put his phone back into his pocket and returned to the table and sat down. His bowl of noodles were already sitting in front of him and he started to eat.

"So what was the phone call about if you don't mind me asking?" asked Warren.

"Well my trip here was in a sense a waste," replied Andrew.

"Why?" asked Warren.

"Blaine left back to Germany before my elite four could talk to him and the CEO of Seraph Co. said they will back off on making deals with Team Darkness so that was the only reason I was here," replied Andrew.

"I don't think you understand Seraph Co. is still capable of doing some terrible things I thought you wanted to stop them ," said Warren.

"No, Warren they are not my main concern. I just needed to stop them from providing pokemon to Team Darkness an which they said they will do," replied Andrew.

"You have to do more than that to them. They will interfere in another way," said Warren.

"Warren, my sole concern is retaking those orbs Team Darkness holds. Seraph Co. is not my problem anymore if you want to do something about them be my guest just don't do anything that I'll have come back and question you," Andrew said Sternly.

"I know how to operate without catching attention to myself," replied Warren.

"That maybe, but if you do get yourself into any trouble just don't expect me to come bail you out. I want to prove to others that this region is more than what are past is," said Andrew standing up from the table and getting his wallet out.

"I'm paying you don't have to Andrew," replied Warren.

"Warren, don't worry about I'll cover it your dad already said you guys are basically living paycheck to paycheck. I already offered your dad the 16th gym leader if he wants it. So Warren if you need to talk to me you can get my number from him. I'll catch you later and stay out of trouble," said Andrew leaving two $20 bills on the table and walking out.

Warren walked out of the Noodle Restaurant and back over to his dad's house for the evening. Andrew flew back to Sacramento and returned home. He was going to stay home for the next couple days and enjoy his 19th birthday with his family liked he would usually do.

That is the end of the chapter. We won't here from Andrew till those in Cincinnati return back to Boston. I do want everyone to understand my dad did actually die of cancer I don't want to be called a liar so what I said about his death is true. The same goes for Warren's mother I have been in talks with the person Warren based on and he shared this with me.
