So Quonk tried to escape by quite a few methods.

First, he tried to run the way of the exit when allowed to meet with other prisoners, so he got tossed back in his cell.

Then, he tried threatening whoever his cellmate was to get relocated, leading to relocation... to an even worse place to escape from.

Next, he created a CGI explosion from sheer valiance, but all it did was look cool.

He also tried to bend the bars, which only made his hands hurt and budged the bars a centimeter, and finally, he punched the wall, which only hurt even more.

So in January 2009, our very rational and very concise orator was sulking in a jail cell when one of the prison guards walked up to his cell.

"What shall your exit's reversion be declared to be in servitude regarding objectives unknown to myself?" he asked calmly, glaring at the guard.

"You have a visitor," the guard said, probably questioning his life choices.

Glaring less at the guard now, Quonk blinked then nodded. "Shall it be declared to be that impeccably-eyebrowed warlord with fortitude unspeakable? If it shan't, they shall be permitted."

The guard looked confused. "...It's not the guy who killed most of your men, no. They're from high up, but they're some Hoenn guy in a suit."

"...Perhaps it shall emerge that such a man will negotiate my reincorporation of that grand organization... His entry is permitted."

"You know where the meeting room is."

Did this guy just open the door or something

The guard opened the door, and then Quonk immediately hurried out and looked in a direction that was most certainly not the meeting room's before getting a few looks that made him reconsider that as he and the guard went the right way.

Upon their arrival, they were met with the suited Hoenn guy. "You must be Quonk–"

"Such is verily declared to be my foremost moniker. I shall accordingly request that of yourself, perhaps."

The guard spoke. "This is Alfred Sussy. He's an agent of the Kanto Union's Helping Hand division–"

"I can introduce myself, you know."

Quonk was holding back laughter as he spoke. "Sussy? What manner of harlequins' lineage cursed yourself with such a moniker?"

"Unsurprisingly, I got the same reactions when undercover. Anyway, I'm pretty sure you know what I'm doing here."

Quonk had a blank look. "...Shall it be declared to be an attorney's supplementation, or perhaps the declaration of reorganization of that valiant militia?"

"I don't really understand it given previous events, but somebody upstairs wants me to sort you out. I don't know why either — I was under the impression you weren't here — but here we are."

"...Sort me out? Elaboration shall hereby be requested by myself."

"Somebody seems to think you shouldn't be in prison, which is a bit weird given the things you're being charged for..." He tossed a list to Quonk with both sides covered in text, and Quonk stared at the list, not seeming to read it in depth but seeming disgusted nonetheless.

"...A most unvaliantly-coloured summary, perhaps. Rather illusionary. The perspective of such terminology is as that of an executioner soiling his person while declaring his mirage of mountainous quantities of defecation behind another's person to be irrefutably existent."

Alfred chose to ignore that. "I'm just trying to understand your reasoning. Our sides fought each other, but that doesn't mean we have to be enemies. There's some people up there that find all of this fascinating, just like the case of Snowpoint."

He doesn't seem very amused. "Enmity is inevitably fastened within such circumstances as the contemporary... Nonetheless, I shall elaborate in regards to my perspective. A profoundly unvaliant injustice has been enacted upon that city I have resided within for the majority of my livelihood's duration, the identities of such actors being declared to be those institutions in control of Hisuian societies, and often those societies within Union territories. I have initiated vigilantist operations therefore, as had the majority of that organization under my command, in order to restore valiance through means of establishing institutions possessing humanity."

"...You really need somebody to help you with your speech. I think I understood about three of those words."

Cue a sigh from Quonk. "Eloquent, articulate registers truly are incomprehensible to those who utilize common parlance... Very well, in such a register: The contemporary institutions that have brought Hisuian and Union societies into corrupt disorder, the consequences of which I have experienced, must be entirely replaced. I have resolved to bring forth that replacement as such, and was aided by the forces under my command dismantled in the month preceding the current one."

"Still not common speech, but at least I understood it that time... so it was just a revenge mission? I'm pretty sure most of us have a story like yours when Rocket is involved."

"Revenge mission... Vengeance was but a secondary priority, if a priority nonetheless. My aim is but valiance. To bring forth a society enabling wellbeing, and to achieve a total eradication of those unvaliant forces dominating our livelihoods for purposes of personal gain: That is declared to be my driving end." He nearly stopped making sense again, but hey, he got passionate, that's all you need to do to make any sense in this world.

"...So, wait... you don't realise that what happened in Vermilion had the opposite effect you were after?"

"The Union's institutions are declared to be unvaliant to equal degrees to Hisuian governments' equivalents. The origin of such unvaliance? Those organizations preceding them which retain their dominance upon all their successors! Corruption within state matters, promotion of the unvaliant in societies within their boundaries, and entirely regarded by most as akin to a poor outcome in a game of chance! Of course, it is required thus that a revolutionary spirit assault such institutions, dismantling to construct more suitable sorts."

"Did literally nobody tell you we pulled the other dictators down? It wasn't just your people we were targeting, I can promise that! Though in fairness, some were more successful than others..."

Quonk looked at him like someone said the rich finally got taxed properly. "...Hisuian lords have been cast aside of their peoples' governance, you believe? Perhaps that is achieved. Perhaps, nonetheless, there are other institutions to be dismantled, organized criminal governance chiefly so, it having the winning hand presently even relative to the coalition of regional governments you serve."

"I mean, you can't change the world overnight, though clearly the people who pay me think you have a part to play."

"I shall decisively aid those who declare themselves opposed to such organizations! Despite that, the instrument your coalition utilizes is truly the source of unvaliance... 'Rocket Liberation Army'? It's as if I should be persuaded to join the cause I fundamentally oppose!"

The guard looked about as confused as expected by now. "...I mean, he seems up for it."

"Why would we be paying Rocket? They've been causing just as many problems for us, especially recently. Anyway, there's some certain people I probably need to convince this is actually a workable idea." Alfred left a book on the table before walking off as Quonk had a very bewildered expression.

...At least there was a book, which he was obviously going to take and read immediately. Opening the thing up, he was met with a ridiculously thick book with nearly every notable Kanto Union document a citizen could ever want. He immediately welcomed the challenge and started skimming the book, mainly learning that illegal things were illegal, such as:

- Blowing up property with a Bidoof or other explosive

- Murdering criminals

- Operating a gang to get rid of another gang while drunk

- Eating Rare Candy as a human

- Trying to conquer the government, even valiantly

He didn't care, but he and the guard were certainly surprised.

Meanwhile, a solemn Hisoka was brought into the room, and Quonk eventually skipped all the other laws before talking to a nearby chair.

"It is declared that perhaps such absolution of one's convictions may be leveraged through utilization of a method located within the confines of this tome. Among such methods as treaties, welfare provisions, innate valiance's prevalence..."

"...I'm over here," Hisoka replied. "I still don't understand why picking a fight with Kanto was ever a good idea."

Quonk blinked and turned to Hisoka to reply. "The destruction of the forces that comprised our organization was deemed imminent. The unfettered aggression against a foe of high esteem is declared to be the successful culmination of delaying efforts," he said while in jail.

"We were rocked, kid..."

"Merely postponed inevitabilities."

"Literally none of this would have happened if we'd have mainly kept to ourselves. It's not even like Canalave disliked us."

"Sinnohan forces endangered such causes nonetheless... Perhaps direct assault upon Rocket's establishment within Eterna, or upon the other remnants of unvaliance within Hisui, was prescribed the ideal course, in retrospect."

"There's only so many ways that would have gone, and I wouldn't say any of them would have been favourable."

"Such circumstances' lacking in favourability is declared to be replete with such relative to present chronology... Nonetheless, the current state of affairs shall be compensated for. Perhaps this 'Rocket Liberation Army' is wanting in security relative to its abundance in force–" He finally found the treaty establishing that, quickly read a few sentences, and then had a very clear look of confusion for 15 seconds before he put the book down and then moved again. "The preceding utterance shall be eliminated from my authentic declarations. The organization's valiance is reputable, and previously misconstrued by myself as unvaliance."

"And you didn't think to research this before we invaded them? For the love of Dialga..."

He actually looks embarrassed now. "It is declared that haste was utilized in a manner unfitting of careful sensibilities... Nonetheless! Such an organization surely is in possession of resources and abilities akin to a mountainous mass relative to the pebble of our former establishment! The utilization of such an organization, its objective in harmony with that of my own..." The look on his face. He's getting ideas.

"...Can't we at least get through five minutes without going through whatever you're planning now?"

"A lunar cycle of captivity, comrade! It has elapsed, and it shall hereby conclude upon our alliance with the organization foretold! A grand armed force it is, and this grand armed force shall overtake this world order of unvaliance yet under the commanding direction of myself!"

"Kid, we should probably be lucky they're even considering giving you a second chance. I don't know anyone else who would."

"Fortunate circumstances may permit glorious ascension thereby! The unvaliant allege victory, and the valiant allege optimistic incompetence, but I shall declare the process of enactment of rrrrrighteous establishment through my vessel! And the initial step shall be..." He then hopped off the table and sat in a chair in the same frame. "To wait."

"...Maybe we should find a newspaper or something."

He handed the law book to Hisoka and just... proceeded to chat up the prison guard while relaxing. "Pleasant climate presently, I suppose? Though I lack windows to confirm, other circumstances improve its likelihood." First time he's seemed happy in this place.

Hisoka looked confused, but started reading the law book.

Later, they arrived at the front desk of the building, and Alfred Sussy looked confused at Hisoka's presence.

"Who even is this person?"

"This instance of man is declared to be my principal comrade in valiant operations! Rather deliberate in thought, rather insignificant in notability in most instances of chronology, yet verily suitable in such circumstances as my own!"

"Do you actually need him though? Didn't all of this start largely because you ran into each other?"

"...I didn't start any of it"

"I shall endorse his valiance and utility to yourselves. His haste in decisivity, however... It is as a crawling Gastrodon in the speed of his unfathomable deliberations."

"...Hang on, I've got a phone call." Sussy momentarily went into an air vent to Quonk's confusion before returning a few minutes later. "Apparently he's coming too... The prison manager is definitely not going to like this."

"An occasion for festivities, verily so."

Hisoka immediately intervened. "More importantly, we don't do them here."

"Why would they be here? More importantly I'm not sure they'd happen after you see the plans we've got."

"Plans? I shall be enlightened in due course according to fascination."

"We'll discuss them later — I need to get some forms ready." He took out a mobile fax machine before noticing Quonk and Hisoka looking at the thing like it was witchcraft. "...Come on, how 1960's are you two?"

"In no chronology have Hisuian industrial processes progressed to such extents."

Hisoka had to comment on that, though. "First thing is working on your speech — I can't understand a word you're saying."

Quonk looked deadpan at him. "Verily, education in the Hisuian registers is paramount for yourself."

"Is this what happens when you're not trying to kill each other?" Sussy said while replacing a few batteries in the fax machine. "You two probably need some kind of training on computers — I don't know how you'd operate the holograms otherwise."

Quonk and Hisoka gave him blank stares.

"...The lines you people draw, honestly."

" What manner of divine rrrrrevelation permits such feats?!"

That drew the attention of a prison guard, who immediately ran into the room. "Where do you think you're–"

"Here's the paperwork, I suggest you go find their stuff." Sussy handed some papers to the now shocked guard.

"...This is literally an unprecedented event!"

"There's a lot of those recently."

Some waiting later, a Bidoof and Starly were finally released from captivity for the first time in a month. Yoku of course perched on Hisoka's head.

"Appears the papers check out, have a nice day," the prison guard announced.

"My car's outside," said Alfred.

And inside a generic black car, Quonk spoke.

"Preceding the captivity our release has concluded, political circumstances were quite apparent to myself. I shall request briefing regarding such circumstances following my imprisonment." Yoku chirped. "Perhaps we have been enlightened regarding Union prison circumstances, verily, yet such is not declared to be the entirety."

"...You two have questions?"

"You're not military."

"You're right, I'm not."

Yoku chirped in confusion.

"A civilian agent he is declared as."

"I mean, I tend to get involved with a lot of military things, but that's not really by choice."

"What in Giratina's name do you even do, then?"

"Shall it be proclaimed to be vigilantism?"

"There's a lot of government roles that aren't military related... granted I used to be a spy, but I'm not anymore." Alfred took a deep breath. "I'm basically here so people like you two can get a second chance."

Quonk had a semi-suspicious look at the spy part. "It shall be established by myself that the redemption of release of conviction has been valiantly and reciprocally issued! ...Your befuddled expressions permit my understanding. In common parlance, it is declared that my second freedom is issued in a worthwhile manner."

"That's not common speech at all," Hisoka mumbled.

"Lot of people say that, I've heard way too many evil people say it before," Alfred pointed out.

...Quonk look embarrassed. "Perhaps it has been declared by others as such in times preceding... Nonetheless, it is declared." Yoku chirped sarcastically. "Unvaliance is entirely lacking in myself! Has such not been established?"

"...Your little tricks caused how much death?"

"That was self-defence."

"Not in Kanto, it wasn't."

"Minimisation of such harm was mistakenly redirected against the valiant..."

"...You actually apologized?"
