Well that technically wasn't true. She had a registered alias, but she wasn't sure if her pokemon limit was six. She could always switch them around if needed though. Hikari's mobile starting ringing.
"Hello?" she said. "Hey Hikari it's the Gang, hows the pokegathering going?" It was her employer. Pokegathering was the word used in case anyone was listening in. "Slow lately, got a spare mission for me?" Hikari asked.
"Yeah, there's a guy who wants a Growlithe" he said. "On it boss" Hikari replied. "Also we're having a get together with our group, i'll send you the coordinates. Later". "Beep" was the sound her phone heard as she closed it and put it back in her pocket.
Hikari looked at the map, and heard a rustling in the bushes. "So a Growlithe hey" the mysterious person said, Hikari sighed. She knew the sound of that annoying person's voce anywhere. It was Screech. Screech pushed his glasses up. "How are you, girly?" he asked, as he turned away before she could answer. Hikari didn't like him even more now.
He hopped into the bushes, as she followed. "Where are we going?" Hikari asked, but he didn't say anything. Screech creeped her out. Soon enough they arrived at a lushious lake, the water flowing as a Magicarp swam by. "Pokemon need to drink, wait for it here" Screech said, pushing up his glasses.
Hikari sent out Staravia and Dustox to scout the place as she sat down, waitng for her target. It was awkward. Every now and then Screech would make these twicthes. She didn't want to ask.
After about half an hour, an orange pup with black streaks runnng through it was spotted. "Bingo" Hikari said, as Staravia and Dustox were signaled to fly down, Hkari noticing only Staravia flew down.
"Such a pain" she said to herself, as Staravia Ariel Aced growlithe on the side of it's belly while it ws drinking water, pushing it nto the river. "Who needs wter types against fire when you have a whole river" Hikaari mocked, throwing the pokeball.
With Growlithe caught Hikari had confirmed that seven pokemon wasn't her limit as she gave an evil smirk. As Hikari walked along she noticed Screech following her, but when she'd turned around to look he stopped. "This is bad" she said to herself.
Hikari couldn't risk him finding out the location of her Blacklisted boss. She had to take Screech out, but first she needed to find her Dustox.
Hikari searched high and low as Staravia covered the skies, soon enough Staravia started flying in circles as Hikari gathered.
Hikari saw a few Starly trying to trap Dustox in a bush as Staravia made quick work with them using ariel ace, Hikari quickly returned Dustox. "Ok, mental note. Don't use Dustox for searches" Hikari said wth a sigh. The other pokemon must have seen Dustox as food as aposed to Staravia.
Ok with that out of the way, she now had to deal with Screech. "Hey Screech" Hikari said "Did you want to go meet up at the fourth gym together?" He didn't reply, he just stood there.
She tried walking a route that he'd get lost in, up a tree filled cavern, down a slippery slope. Hikari couldn't shake him off. Hikari sent out Staravia again. "Ariel ace" she said, as Screech barely dodged. "What?" Screech said in confuson. If she couldn't shake him off, then he needed to disappear.
Screech sent out Magnemite quickly. "Magnemite, thunderbolt" he yelled, as Hiikari quickly switched from Staravia to Haunter. She'd learned alot about switching advantges from her battle with Tyson.
"Fly in and use hypnosis" Hikari yelled as Screech told him to close his eyes, He must have been watching the match with Tyson to. "That was a distraction" Hikari said, as Haunter closed in with Magnemite's eyes closed, Hunter used shadow ball at almost point blank range, knocking Magnemite out.
"Dam you.." Screech said, sending out Venomoth. "Haunter, Shadow ball" Hikari said, as Venomoth dodged. Oops. "I wasn't aiming for you" Hikari mocked, as the shadow ball hit Screech, as he fell over with aa broken leg.
Venomoth couldn't help but look back as Haunter used hypnosis, then dream eater. Hikari knew how powerful Screech's Venomoth was, and she couldn't risk taking the damage to take it out when she could be jumped by pokemon rangers at any moment.
Screech went to send out his last pokemon, but before he could Hikari stood on his arm. "You were so intent on Haunter's wherebouts that you forgot about mine" Hikari said.
"Why are you doing this.." Screech said. Hikari pressed harder on his arm. "Because i'm not interested in you" she said, as Haunter's claw was once again covered in blood.
After a little while of walking around, Hikari found Growlithe's new owner. "Hey.." Hikari said slowly. "Your the man I met at the bar, I got you a Wooper" she said catiously.
"Haaha..." the mysterious man said. "Good customers always come back if the service is good" he said, as Hikari handed him the Growlithe. She then was given an envelope with cash as the man walked away.
Hikari remembered when she used to steal pokemon from trainers, trainers were a last resort she thought to herself. People finding out about more thefts aand murderes would only increase her bounty. She didn't need the publicity.
Hikari looked at the map, slowly cornerng the place where she'd meet the gang.
