It took almost a week of looking after Isaac's wellbeing in privacy and also speaking to him from afar to see how the 'experiment' was going, and he said he'd managed to finish the prototype, which was good, as he had to go to the Altru Tower and speak to the current president, Blake Hall, about it. And he had a feeling that the boss of Altru Tower was also Kincaid's boss.

"You might be right, all I can say is that if he is the boss, you'll need to be careful how you word things, especially if he knows about you only being able to tell the truth. Just make sure nobody else knows of this. I'll have Kaplan and Claire watch over the basement's staircase while you head out to the building tomorrow. And as for me, Keith, and Pico, we're heading out to the Ranger Base in Vientown. And upon getting to the next day, we then went to class and got our special intern badges, with Isaac needing to get his from Leah after I got him out of the basement and we then proceeded to go to work, me seeing he wasn't taking the soulstone pieces with him.

And that was good, since tomorrow was going to be our final day of school, graduation and all. So I could grab the soulstone pieces in the basement while also editing Isaac's mind so that he'd think that the experiment at full power had failed, which I also talked to him about it and he agreed to doing so.

"Okay, then let's get to work," he said with a smile as we then proceeded out of the school and our groups then saw something surprising. A small adult was on the tree and freaking out at two different Bidoof that were scratching at the tree.

"Help! HELP! They're a-gonna maul me!" he shouted, me recognizing him as being Little Tim, the milkman.

"They're not going to maul you, Little Tim. They just want the milk," I smiled, hearing that much from the Bidoof themselves.

"Milk, pwease! Milk! Milk!" the Bidoof said in excitement.

"You may think that, but Ah know that ain't the case! I'm deathly-a-scared of Pokemon! If I come down, they're surely gonna attack!" he said, me then simply responding by taking one of his milk bottles that was in his backpack and then putting it inside of one of the Bidoof's drinking bowls that was nearby. And after that, the Bidoof immediately b-lined for the milk and started drinking the milk.

"Okay, Little Tim, the Bidoof are good now, you can come down," Keith smiled, the man then coming down the tree carefully and cautiously, him then looking at the Bidoof with concern.

"See? All they wanted was the milk. And I can't really blame them, milk is delicious," Pico smirked widely.

"O-Okay... thanks a million, kids... I need to finish the delivery, now," he said, me nodding as he then went up the stairs and we then proceeded out of the gates with our student passes and walked to the bridge, where we saw a little girl there who had blonde hair and big eyes with tears in them.

"Hey, what's wrong, little girl?" I asked with my mind, her then looking at me and then gasping and looking afraid. "Do I really look that scary? I'm only a few years older than you, little Melody," I smiled, her gasping at that.

"H-How do you know my name?" she asked.

"Isaac told me a lot about you. You're as cute and adorable as he described," I smiled, her then sniffing and smiling before then seeing Isaac coming across the bridge.

"Isaac! I missed you so much!" Melody cried tears of happiness as she literally tackled her big brother into a hug, which didn't do much when he was a teen and she was in elementary school.

"Melody, I told you to wait in Pueltown for me. You know the forest can be dangerous," Isaac said with a sigh.

"Sorry, I just couldn't wait to see you again! Let's walk to town together!" Melody smiled.

"Yes, let's do that... thanks for watching over her, Hush," Isaac smiled at me.

"You're welcoe. It was nice to meet you, Melody. Stay safe on the way home," I giggled at her.

"Yep! Bye, nice lady!" she smiled as she then walked away with Isaac, him even giving her a piggyback ride, which made me smile widely. We then went the rest of the way to Vientown and went into the ranger base, where we saw that the place was empty aside from the operator... one that I actually recognized!

"Huh? Humba-Wumba?" I asked in surprise, her smiling at me.

"Greetings sister of friend Beth. Humba Wumba hired as operator of Vientown to watch over you," she said, which Keith looked at her in confusion.

"You know her? Why is she dressed like that?" Keith asked, which was an understandable question, as she had on her normal outfit, but overtop of it was an Operator uniform and she also had on her shaman headband.

"This Humba magic outfit. It good at amplify Humba Wumba magic powers. Can turn you into dinosaur if you want," she said, me looking at Keith's confusion clear as day.

"Dinosaur?"

"She's another one that comes from a different universe, like me and Leah," Pico smirked at Keith.

"Oh, got it now. A world with no Pokemon, then?" Keith asked.

"Indeed. So... where is everyone?" I asked, playing dumb on purpose.

"They leave on secret mission to western cape. Very dangerous. Your task is take this parcel to cape," Humba Wummba said as she handed us the parcel, me smirking at how it was in the form of a large crate. "Whatever you do, no shaking, no dropping, no upside-down, or bad things happen big time."

"Ooh, so it's a bomb? Or maybe a valuable relic? I can't wait! Let me carry it!" Pico smirked, her then doing so and I could only smile at how strong the little ghost girl was when she showed it. "Light as a feather, too," she smirked as I then tried to lift it... and found it was about medium-weight for me, meaning I'd need both hands to lift it. And she did so with just one.

"Let's go! A secret mission sounds super serious!" Keith smiled as we then went to the west of Vientown and found ourselves on the beach, where we saw Mr Woodward, who was feeding three different Pokemon in the form of a Pachirisu, a Starly, Munchlax... and a final two in the form of Greavard and Flabebe!

"Here you are, Flabebe, you get yours first, because you're so small," Woodward said, the tiny fairy with the flower eating a single Pokemon food kibble and her then trilling after.

"Mm... so filling," she smiled after.

"Here's the rest for everyone else. Remember to share and share alike," Woodward smiled, the rest happily eating their food and, of course, Munchlax getting the most and, after eating all of it, looked like he wanted seconds.

"Aw, they're so cute! Especially the doggy," Pico smiled widely, getting all of their attention in the process.

"Oh, you must be the ranger interns for today, aren't you?" he asked, me nodding at that.

"Yes, we are. Do you know where the rangers are?" I asked him with my mind.

"Ah, telepathy, very clever for a young woman. The rangers are up the cliff to the west of here. Be careful with that parcel there," he smirked, me nodding as we then went to the cliff and proceeded to gently carry the parcel to the cliff, seeing that all the rangers were looking out towards the ocean, which is when Keith then spoke out loud.

"HELLOMEETCHA!" he shouted, me smirking at how it worked in both embarrassing him and for getting the rangers' attention.

"Did you just shout 'hellomeetcha'? What, are you nervous or something?" asked the big and burly Barlow, me smiling at that.

"Well, I'm not nervous. We got the parcel here safe and sound," I smiled at them.

"Ah, remember not to drop it or kaplow!" Luana said, the trio then getting the parcel gently placed on the ground and for Crawford to then open the crate to reveal what was within. The picnic basket.

"Okay, everyone! Lunchtime!" Crawford chuckled.

"Wait... we were delivering lunch?" Pico giggled.

"Yeah, we do it with all the rangers that intern with us. It's kind of a tradition. I had to do it with Crawford last year, but in my sense, I swung the box all over the place because I tried to skip with it. All the food got thrown all over the place, hehe," Luana giggled. "Anyways, introduction time now! I'm Luana, and this is my little friend, Tyrunt," she said, me gawking at how she had a fossil Pokemon!

"But I thought they were extinct!" Keith gawked.

"Anything's possible with science on your side," Barlow smirked. "I'm Barlow, and this is my bud, Makuhita. You already met Crawford and Budew at the Outdoor Class, so what's your names?"

"I'm Keith, and I hope to be as great a ranger as Beth Woods!" Keith smiled, which made me blush at the side compliment.

"I'm Pico, and I want to become a ranger to help other spirits like me to move on or find new purpose in their afterlife," Pico smiled widely.

"And I'm Jennifer 'Hush' Woods, and I'm Beth's sister," I said, which Barlow smiled at.

"Haha! I heard great things about Beth already, considering she saved all of Fiore from a witch wanting to rule the world! And what's your dream?" he asked with a smile.

"I want to become able to get strong enough to protect halfbreeds of human and Pokemon, especially if they happen to be ridiculed by society. Make laws in place to protect the minority and all, you know," I smiled, which Crawford smiled at.

"You'd definitely be in my good graces for doing that, then. My mom's a halfbreed and that makes me a fourthbreed of human and Pokemon. Fourthbreeds don't have any of the downsides of a halfbreed, but they do have the positives of their Pokemon grandparent. My grandfather happened to be a Nidoking, so my positives are that I have a horn on my head filled with poison and I can even shoot the poison out of it from afar... but it's kind of self-conscious, so I hide it behind the afro," Crawford explained.

"Hey, if I had a horn on my head, I'd be self-conscious, too," Pico smiled as we then finally got to eating our food, us managing to finish our lunch before we were on our way back to the base... but then, a man in swimming trunks shouted and ran towards us from the beach.

"RANGERS!" he shouted, me looking at him in concern.

"What's wrong?" I asked with my mouth for a change.

"M-Me and my girlfriend were at the beach... then a ship appeared from the distance... a-and then the Pokemon went crazy! They're surrounding my girlfriend! Please help!" he said, me nodding at that.

"Sounds like a mission to me!" I shouted with my mouth.

"Right! Consider this your true training of the ranger business, kids! Let's move out and catch those Pokemon!" Barlow said, us rushing to the beach and I proceeded to go right for the Flabebe, me managing to capture the teeny tiny Pokemon very quickly, getting bonus points for not taking damage and for not having my Styler get ran into by the Flabebe. And once I caught it, the Flabebe then went to me with a sigh.

"S-Sorry... I don't know what came over me... is my flower okay?" Flabebe asked, me looking at it and seeing that the flower was fine, and it was undamaged.

"Your flower is fine... hmm... would it like a bit of water?" I asked, the Flabebe smiling at that.

"Yes, it does need some," she smirked as I then proceeded to give it a little bit on the leaves and stem, with Flabebe smiling at after. "Thanks a lot... really."

"Okay, all the Pokemon have been captured! So, does anyone happen to know what this ship happened to look like, per chance?" Barlow asked.

"Yeah, it was a very big one, it looked like a cargo ship. It had the letters SSDS on it, which is very weird..." the woman said, after having recomposed herself.

"Crawford, you thinking what I am?" Luana asked.

"Yeah, that sounds like the same ship that ended up hitting that Mantine," Crawford frowned.

"I remember that I saw the ship... and then something felt wrong... almost like I heard a hundred voices in my head at once... and then, almost as fast as they appeared, the voices ended... but then everything after was a blur," Flabebe said, me then translating what the little fairy said to me, which the group was surprised at my description as well as the obvious.

"I didn't know you could talk to Pokemon! That's super cool! I wish I could do that," Keith admitted. Everyone then proceeded to release their Pokemon that they caught... but me and Pico found it a little difficult.

"Well? What's wrong? Release the Pokemon, girls," Crawford smiled, me looking at them and speaking.

"Yeah... um... is there a loophole that says we can't have them as partners, but as pets at the school?" I asked, Crawford looking at Barlow and Luana and Barlow then speaking.

"Um... a pet? As in, they won't assist you in Pokemon capture, right? That's what you mean by that, right?" Barlow asked, me nodding.

"At least until we can become official rangers, please? Pretty please?" Pico smiled widely.

"Hrng... okay, fine, but remember, if they happen to be used for assisting in any captures between now and when you finally become a full-fledged Ranger, then you'll be unable to be a Ranger for a whole other year, got it?" Barlow said, me smiling at that.

"Ya hear that, Flabebe? You and me, living together for the next few days," I smiled, Flabebe smiling widely at that.

"Yay! I'm so happy! I can't wait to be alongside someone so cute and pretty!" she said, me looking at her in confusion.

"Uh, cute and pretty? You flirting with me or something?" I asked, the Flabebe looking surprised and blushing.

"U-Um... sorry, ignore that," she smirked, me smiling as I saw it in her mind. She was not only grateful for me saving her and her friends, but she was also crushing on me BIG TIME!

"If you want, we can be a couple, but only if we agree on no babies, and if we do, it's adoption, okay?" I smiled, Flabebe smiling at that.

"T-Thanks," she smirked.

"Is that legal, though? I know halfbreeding is illegal, but what about humans and Pokemon being married and stuff?" Keith asked.

"According to the rulebook, it can stick with marriage, so long as the Pokemon in question gets fixed when it comes of age," Barlow said.

"Eep, that sounds a bit painful..." Flabebe said in concern.

"Don't worry, you'll be asleep when that happens and it won't happen until you reach three years old. You've still got a whole year of preparation," I smiled at Flabebe.

"Whew... thanks... wait, how can you tell my age?"

"I saw your thoughts, that's how."

"You're a little cheater, I love it!"

Pico and Greavard were happy at this too and, with that, we proceeded back to the Ranger Base and then, after that, we proceeded to get our passing stamp on our intern badges to show that we'd succeeded in our intern day and, afterwards, we bid farewells and went back to base.

"I hope I can find my perfect partner Pokemon some day," Keith smiled.

"It'll happen one day, Keith... and so you know, you and me are the committed human couple, me and Flabebe are the cuddling half couple. You're okay with that, right?" I smiled at her.

"Who knows? Especially if we end up getting stationed at different regions. If we do meet again after school is done, we can get right to a kiss, right?" Keith asked, me nodding at that.

"Of course, but until then, a hug," I smiled, me and him hugging right at the bridge, us staying like that for a few seconds before we then went back to the school, just as sun set in the distance. And after this very eventful day, explaining the situation of mine and Pico's new pet Pokemon, and the fact that we had a hearty meal of dinner, we then fell asleep and I had... a very weird dream.


In this dream, I saw that I was in the middle of a large circle, almost like I were in a room filled with marble columns, with a group of gargoyles watching my every movement. And then, I heard the sound of someone breathing behind me... like, raspy breathing. I then looked behind me and saw the sight of... well, a very grotesque monster. It was a giant tub of lard that had four mouths on his body. He had one on his mouth, his stomach, and two in his armpits. And he smelled absolutely rancid!

"ICK! For god's sake, man! Do you even know the meaning of the term shower?!" I asked him in disgust, knowing that he was the Lord of Gluttony, Ghom.

"Peh, showers are for pretty ladies and... UUURP little children, like you. Makes 'em taste MUCH better!" he said before letting out a fart, which also smelled bad.

"And you do realize that I'm not going to let your leaders succeed, right? So just tell me right now, where are the soulstones that you are inside of?" I asked, him chortling and farting with every laugh he made.

"I'm in the stones in that stupid school's basement. And trust me, once tomorrow hits, I'll find a new vessel before the day is done! And if not them, I'll simply go into a Pokemon and make them eat all of you little brats!" he spoke angrily, me frowning at him.

"You can threaten me all you want, but I am not afraid. For it is written in the scripture, Ephesians 6:11-12, Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil," I said, which made Ghom look physically sick before he ended up barfing from all four of his mouths.

"You disgust me! Do not interfere, or you will DIE!" he growled as the dream then ended after I forced myself to wake up.


After I woke up, I saw that it was at 9 in the morning, and that the time for the ceremony would happen at 10 in the morning, meaning I had to get ready and then, after I finished doing so, I then had to get to using my mind to grabbing the Soulstones in the basement. So, in preparation for the task, I contacted Leah and saw she had the same dream I had.

"You also saw him too, didn't you?" she asked, me nodding.

"He's a pig," I growled.

"Agreed on that much. He's in one of the stones in the basement, right?" Leah asked by thinking about it, since we knew that saying this stuff out loud was a BIG risk.

"Yes, so we should go ahead and take care of them before the ceremony, lest something really bad happens," I said, her and me agreeing as we did just that, since Isaac was asleep and he was in the basement. His concept for the Gigaremo had succeeded with the big boss, Blake Hall, and the stuff with the ship was actually the site of the test, where they actually succeeded in controlling a trio of Pokemon in the ocean in the form of a Mantyke, a Remoraid, and a Huntail. And after that, he agreed to the mind manipulation that I'd do in his slumber so that he would have an excuse as to the Gigaremo model he made in the basement being destroyed, along with the Black Soulstone shards.

I then proceeded to grab those stones and, afterwards, sent them to the very top of the basement and then handed them to Leah, her then smashing them in her grasp and getting rid of the demons within, me gawking at how I heard and then smelled an incredibly rancid smell from the one stone's destruction.

"That was the gross one for sure," I groaned.

"If you want, I can teach you how to destroy them, same with any others that I can teach at the Ranger Union," Leah said, me nodding at that. "Okay, you focus on the stone, and, when it's in your grasp, make sure you have gloves on and then simply crush them... then, afterwards, the demons within that stone will be erased from existence entirely, as this world has no such thing as hell and the demons have no power in the afterlife outside of the soulstones," Leah thought, me nodding at that.

"I'll give that knowledge to Pico and Keith for you, so that they also know," I said, her nodding as the ceremony then started about half an hour later, where we all were given our graduation diplomas and, afterwards, I saw that Isaac looked a bit upset at the mental conditioning I did to him, as he now thought that the full power usage of the Gigaremo and the smaller Miniremo were too much for the black gems, but he also was in a bit of relief that it wouldn't be at full power, as, if it were, it could have a radius that could span the entirety of the Peril Cliffs or even all of Boyleland!

"Now, we do have an announcement. The star student of Ms April's class and two star students from Miss Leah's class. The ones who show the traits of what the Ranger Union wants to see in their students the most. The class representatives are... Jennifer Woods for Ms April's class... and Isaac and Kiki from Miss Leah's class," Principal Lamont smiled, which made us all smirk.

"Wow! Class representative! Great job, Hush!" Keith smiled at me, me smirking as I then went ahead and moved forward... but then, something started to happen. What sounded like a tremor that happened from under the floorboards.

"U-Uh-oh! Is there an earthquake?!" Isaac asked in fear... but I felt it. A very icky feeling... and then, the smell...

"Oh god... EVERYONE! TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE!" I shouted as loud as I could, all of them then immediately rushing to the very front of the school, myself included! And not a moment too soon, as the floorboards that were right above the basement gave way and, from the hole that was freshly made, came the most putrid smell that I had only smelled in my dream last night and that I THOUGHT had been destroyed from the Soulstone being destroyed! It was Ghom without a doubt, him having since possessed a massive, malformed Tangrowth!

"FRESH MEAT!" he roared out loud, me then immediately going into the fray with my mind, going into Ghom's head to do something that I knew he'd hate.

"Augh... AUUUGHH! What are you doing to me?!" he asked in anger. The others were looking at me in shock at what I happened to be doing. I was using Celebi's psychic powers to destroy the monster's brain cells one by one!

"WHAT DO YOU THINK, ASSHOLE?! I'M DESTROYING YOUR BRAIN! NO BRAIN MEANS NO LIFE!" I shouted, the monstrous behemoth trying to ram towards us, only for Flabebe to send a Fairy Wind at him, followed by Greavard to use Ominous Wind, both combining like it were in a contest to blow the bastard all the way back to the hole and, paydirt. His malformed, Tangrowth body slammed into some of the splintered and broken wood beams and skewered him right through the face! And after that, the stench that came? It made almost ALL of us immediately exit the building from how rancid it was! Hell, even the Bidoof ran out of the school!

"GROSS! Get away!" the lead Bidoof shouted as the rest of the students looked very scared.

"What... what the hell was that?" Ms April asked, her having a panic attack due to the monstrous Tangrowth, as it looked like it were from Pokemon Uranium and heavily mutated or something.

"That... was... oh my god..." Isaac said in concern, me frowning at that.

"You have anything to say, Isaac?" Principal Lamont asked.

"If I said it... I can't... don't make me say it..." Isaac said with fear, Leah then sighing and speaking.

"That was a monster from my world... it was Ghom, the Lord of Gluttony..." Leah said with a sigh.

"What do you mean, Miss Leah?" Ponte asked her in concern.

"I come from a world where demons are constantly at war with and trying to rule over humanity... and that was Ghom, one of the commanders for an army of hell itself... He's known as the Lord of Gluttony, who's rancid odor is matched only by his monstrous appetite... he never feels full and can devour an entire armored warrior, armor, weapon, and all in one bite... if we hadn't escaped in time, we might've died..." Leah said with fear.

"B-But where did he come from?! And what does that make you?!" Kiki asked, which Leah sighed at. She had to make a lie, so I had to cover for her.

"He was trapped within a black stone of sorts, a shard of a much larger one that contained a multitude of demons, as well as the souls of almost 90 percent of my world's human race... I'd sensed it in that school, but only recently found it on my lonesome, as it was on the ground outside of the library alongside another one. I tried to destroy them, as the stones themselves are quite fragile, but it seemed that Ghom's spirit moved into that poor Tangrowth and it proceeded to mutate the poor thing, as demons from my world can't normally possess creatures that aren't humans..." Leah sighed.

"W-Well, he's dead now, right?" Ms April asked, Leah then using her demonic aura and sensing forward into the school.

"I no longer sense his nor the Tangrowth's spirit in the body... Ghom is now gone forever, as Hush managed to demolish his mind and soul with her psychic powers... the Tangrowth is most likely at peace in the afterlife..."

"Well... that was quite a showing from today, I must say... and considering the life-or-death situation, I think we can ignore the fact that Greavard and Flabebe assisted the Rangers. If not for them, we'd probably all have been killed... I'll discuss this with the Ranger Union so they know of the issue, but until then, we need a brave volunteer to go into the school and grab the body so we can burn it?" Lamont asked, that making everyone scrunch up their noses before I then sighed.

"I'll do the deed... just uh... just hold your noses, because the moment those doors are opened, it'll reek worse than a Skuntank's bathroom trip," I said, them nodding as all of them decided to hold their noses and hide out by the staircase to the school gate, which I used my mind to bring the body out of the school... and for the sake of keeping this story rated T, I won't describe the mess that was made and instead describe that it was horribly smelly! If it weren't for the fact that I had a head cold right now, I probably would've passed out! But instead, I placed the body on the ground by the raised area by the school and proceeded to have a nearby Scorbunny assist in burning the body, which the little rabbit Pokemon was also disgusted by it.

"You. Owe me. Big time for this," he said in annoyance.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Fire type poffin with whipped cream," he said, me nodding as I led him down the steps and then gave him the treat from my purse, which he then ate happily.

"Whew... now that that's done, we need to get this school cleaned top to bottom... and also repair any damage done to the basement as well as the damage to the main hallway," Lamont said.

"Ugh... do we have to do that?" Rhythmi asked in annoyance.

"Only the teachers will do so. If any student wishes to help out, we can give them some extra perks if they so desire," Lamont smiled, me then smirking and deciding to step up to the plate, alongside Pico, Kiki, Ponte, and even Willow! We proceeded to spend an entire afternoon and the rest of the morning cleaning the school up, the only thing that we couldn't do for now being repairing the massive hole in the ground, as that had to be done professionally. But despite that, we did manage to clean the whole place up... and next came the part where we had to get our perks. As for my perk and the others in my group that assisted, I convinced Principal Lamont to have my current group be sent to places in Almia with me and Willow being sent to Vientown while Pico and Kiki were sent to be stationed in Pueltown.

As for Ponte, he was given the task of being a study for being a teacher at the school, much like Miss Leah, as he was willing to learn and help others in order to protect the world from this new threat.

"Here's hoping that you help tons of people in the coming future, Ponte," I smiled at him.

"I'll try my hardest," he smirked back at me.


Kincaid POV:

It was quite a very difficult situation. From what I'd heard from our spy at the school in Cydaea, having possessed a willing member of Dim Sun in Lavana, she claimed that a horrific smell emerged from the school and that, from what she overheard, Ghom was an imbecile and revealed his true colors WAY too quickly, possessing a Tangrowth in order to try and devour the students! We told him not to do anything, yet that's exactly what he did. And now, he paid the price for it, as he and the demons within the destroyed soulstone shards were now erased from existence! I had to speak of this to Blake Hall himself, alongside the other three commanders besides me and Lavan, those being Ice, Heath, and Hunter J.

"What is the issue, Kincaid? It better be important," Blake asked, him currently being controlled by Malthael, as much as all of us hated it.

"It involves an issue that has arisen at the Ranger School... the Black Soulstone shards have all been destroyed at that school, them having been discovered by one of the teachers in front of the library and they were destroyed," I said.

"Peh! It must've been Isaac, then..." Ice said, him being controlled by Asmodan.

"No, it wasn't Isaac at fault... it was your own commander that was inside of that shard," I said, which Ice was confused at. "Ghom tried to reveal his colors too fast, moving his soulstone to the library's entrance to try and possess someone... the stone was destroyed, but his spirit was strong enough to enter one of the captured Tangrowth in the school's basement... and once that happened, he mutated the Tangrowth so he could try to devour the students. He made his presence known WAY too soon, and as a result, now the students and teachers are aware of our plans," I described, which made Belial growl, him being the one in control of Hunter J, our newest hire.

"Disgusting. Why would you entrust Ghom with anything, Asmodan? We all know he's the weakest link," J growled in annoyance.

"He was acting of his own accord, as I had no such knowledge of this... anything else to note?" Asmodan asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact," said the voice of Lavana, her having been possessed by Cydaea, the maiden of Lust and the most trusted of Asmodan's commanders of hell. "The one who found the stone shards and destroyed them, all three of them, was Leah Cain, daughter of Diablo," she spoke, which made Heath's possessor, Duriel growl in anger.

"AUGH! Not that bitch! How is she still here?! I have half a mind to break every bone in her body!" Duriel snarled from Heath's big-boned body.

"I do not know, but she was a teacher at that school. She must be able to sense the soulstone shards... we need to find a way to kidnap her and get her away from the Rangers, as she's set to work at the Ranger Union... in about 4 minutes from now... we need to find her out in the open at a later date," Malthael said from Blake's body, which the others frowned at.

"As good an idea as any, but not an easy one to accomplish... until further notice, move forward with the testing phase of the Gigaremo machines and tell Isaac to begin production of the Miniremo machines. We need the process of controlling Pokemon to be more streamlined and less back-busting," Asmodan growled.

"Thanks for the information, Kincaid and Cydaea. We will speak again soon," the angel of death growled, the duo nodding at him and agreeing to do his work, if only because he was too strong for them to take on in this world.
