As footsteps walked along the path, two metal signs appeared.
The footsteps stopped, as Hikari looked up, noticing the City next in line.
She quickly pulled out her map, wondering if there were any Tournaments in this City.
"Nope.." she said depressingly, as she walked along the busy streets of the City.
She noticed the City was full of merchants selling goods, she peered through the numerous stores, but found nothing she really desired.
She spotted a few elemental stones amoung the shops, but she didnt have any Pokemon she could evolve with them, so she left them to go for the highest bidder.
She walked into a Building, the Building of NatX, the construction she spotted at the giant Mountain, she was curious as to what they were up to.
A Lady walked up to her, and asked her if she would like anything to drink while she browsed. "No, Thankyou" Hikari said, as the lady gave her a brief tour of NatX.
"NatX Is a corperation that is dedicated to gainign new insight, obtaining rare monuments, and is apart of helping guide and support the future."
Hikari got the hint, NatX was a big, corperate business. Hikari took the time to wonder around, as she found all the different things NatX has done for the community.
"What is NatX doing in the mountain?" she asked the lady. "Mountain?" the lady said strangely. "NatX isn't doing anything in the mountains" Suddenly the big, helpful and kind NatX clicked. Something was up. She was almost convinced, but now she wanted to know what they were up to.
A Man, overhearing this, walked over to them and signaled for the lady to walk away, as he pulled his hand out for Hikari to shake.
"Hello, My name is Hendricks, I am the Media Director, I couldn't help but overhear you saw something in the moutains, is this correct?" he asked her, as Hikari shook his hand suspiciously.
"Yeah.." she said, cautiously.
The man took her down a hall, full of trophies and certificates by various donations as Hendrickd spoke.
"We are working on a new way to increase frienship between trainer and Pokemon, this is very difficult to even perceive, let alone acomplish, we would like for you to keep this to yourself, if the media found out, we would lose that friendship we are trying to achieve" the man said.
Hikari slightly nodded. She didn't like this man, he seemed powerful, she wanted to leave. With a small smile she agreed, and walked out of NatX with a small smile on her face. After she left her smile dropped. "That man gives me the crepes" she thought to herself, something about him just makes her feel insecure.
As Hikari walked out of the city, two eyes peered at her through a one sided glass wall, drinking a cup of coffee, wearing a diamond ring on his ring finger, and a sapphire ring on his index finger, as a door opens.
Another man walks in, and closes the door, as he walks up to the man who peers through the glass.
The man who walked through the door just then was Hendricks. "Do you think she fell for it?" Hendricks said.
"Unsure, but she has a strange belt, she's a member of that Black Market gang we have been competing with." the man said.
With a sip of his coffee, he spoke.
"Have her find out their Head Quarters, and assasinate them all" the man said.
"Your the boss" hendricks spoke, as Hikari exited the city.
