The next day, Katowice, Spodek Katowice, here in the underground base where daily work was going on, where a few aliens were just finishing washing the documents authenticating them to stay on Earth and in Poland, and people dressed in black suits called Men In Black were conducting work at computers and scanning gates issuing appropriate permits and visas, the entire base was more focused on something else, on searching for two objects, the first of them was the currently sought Mandulin, an alien from the Jababians race who was wanted for not paying taxes and running around naked, and an unknown plan related to his sick ambition in search of an unknown source of power, charms with which he could throw a real challenge to the galaxy of war, the second of the objects that was sought was Pokemon in the human world, a creature from another world that was transferred to Earth in a way unknown to anyone.
A few agents were currently reading various press, because people from Men In Black often obtained the most interesting and important information from simple newspapers, tabloids and rags, but most of the news and information usually led to nowhere, you could usually read about corruption, from the lowest to the highest levels, you could say that one scandal covered another and so on and so forth, either someone did not take care of their duties, closed their eyes, or someone accidentally set fire to a landfill, or a ton of fertilizer was poured out in the middle of the highway, there was little information about aliens or strange phenomena, but one piece of information in the pages of one of the newspapers focused the gaze of a quickly walking agent with dark hair connecting with a delicate beard, and his blue eyes moved from left to right reading the next headline texts, a strange event that had taken place in Krakow and that was a day ago.
- it's a pity there were no cameras there, but those traces, the torn car, the red Ford, only Pokemon is capable of that, now I'm sure, this Pokemon is still in Krakow, maybe he even has a human friend, after all Pokemon have a tendency to do that, let it be, it will only get worse, but this man, Denis, is our chance. Agent H said to himself walking down a long corridor between various offices, computer and operational until he stopped in the doorway of the last room where his black friend was eating another donut.
Agent M was just lifting another donut to her mouth, her brown eyes were shining slightly as she looked at the round ball covered in icing and filled with marmalade, M brushed her black hair out of her eyes and took another bite, already eating the fourth donut, and on the long table stood a plate with three more, Agent M, as soon as she got a taste of traditional Polish dishes, was simply enchanted by the taste of Polish Paczki and their method of baking, similar but also different as well as their execution.
- Agent M, if you keep stuffing yourself like that it will go to your hips, you'll see, that's how you gain weight quickly, you don't know. Agent H said, holding a newspaper under his left armpit, he suddenly fell silent when the furious M threw a donut at him, hitting the agent's open mouth with it.
- Give it a rest, I can take care of my figure myself, wait, that means I'm fat, yes, I am fat?. Agent M asked with clear irritation written on her face.
- No, that's not it, that's great, you've got one more. Agent H said, putting the newspaper on the table and picking up another donut from the silver plate, and when he started part of it, Agent M instinctively looked at the newspaper and saw the headline about an accident in Krakow, how a red Ford was torn apart in unknown circumstances and Denis ended up in the John Paul II Specialist Hospital.
- Wait, H, do you think so?. Agent M asked, watching Agent H eat another donut and he winked at her, nodding his head.
- Exactly, we need to investigate this matter, I've already checked, Denis is in a closed ward, he's not bad but he's gone into a state of psychosis, I'm sure, he knows a lot about this Absol. Agent H said, picking up the last of the donuts.
- And as for Absol, the one here is her. She said Agent M, putting a few photos taken by aliens flying near the Pokemon world on the table, ordered photos of Absol which differed in some elements.
- look this Absol is a bit bigger and wider in the belly like every guy, you always have such big bellies. She said agent M and her friend glanced at his belly, then at the donut and waved it off eating the last donut and then wiped his hands on a white handkerchief.
- and in these photos here you go, these Absol are slimmer so what follows, they are females, the Absol we saw was her, now I am sure of it, this Absol is her. She said Agent M looking at photos of a few Absol from Pokemon World.
- but so what, what does it mean to us. H asked.
- actually nothing, but to the point, H, do you think that what happened in Krakow was the work of this Absol. M. asked.
- exactly, and if that's the case, if Denis confirms it to us, it means one thing, this, I mean this Absol lives peacefully in Krakow, and knowing creatures like Pokemon, he certainly lives with people, maybe they know, maybe not, because knowing creatures like Pokemon, they always look for friends among people who then become their trainers, in any case, we need to question our witness, he's waiting for us in the John Paul II Special Hospital. Agent H said.
The listening Agent M suddenly jumped up from her silver seat because one thing was all too familiar to her, namely the name of the hospital, the extraordinary man who did extraordinary things in his life, from world changes to the overthrow of communism in Poland and Europe.
- this man who stopped the war and communism, and to think that when I started working here, I thought he was someone else, but he was still a man, I'm not surprised that here in Poland, his country, so many places have his name, I'm not surprised, this nation should always be proud of such a great man who changed the world, you could say that John Paul II did even more than President Reagan, but that's a moot point, besides, we're going, because we don't have much time, right. She said Agent M, ready to go.
- that's right, follow me, hey, I was supposed to drive today. Said Agent H, following her friend.
- not this time, since I'm supposed to lose some weight, today I'm the first. She said M jokingly and leading her friend they both entered the hangar in black cars, then they got into one of them and turned on the computer mechanism.
And in less than a few seconds, a black car drove out from under Katowice Spodek, quickly entering the main national road leading from Katowice to Krakow, the road was rather calm, apart from some rudeness on the road where some drivers were passing each other in anger, in less than two hours the black car of the agents reached Krakow and crossed the intersection bordering the Krakow Balice airport, and despite the unpleasant because rainy weather, even today, on Saturday, the city was full of passing cars, taxis and people marching under umbrellas.
- oh this autumn weather, when it rains it is so depressing. She said the leading Agent M looking at the world around, at the city and the autumn golden leaves, now that it was raining heavily, everything was so depressing, but even that disappeared quickly because the beating of the agents had its task related to the location of Pokemon in the human world.
As soon as the black car stopped in front of the specialist hospital, both agents looked at the high four-story building, the red building of the specialist hospital where various surgeries, procedures, and everything that saved lives were performed, here in the parking lot two agents got out of the black car looking at the tall building, two agents ran through the parking lot escaping the pouring rain and entered through the main entrance to the reception where nurses and doctors were bustling around, as well as patients who had been discharged, as well as those standing in line to register and in lines to see specialists.
- Oh, this Polish health service, it has always been and is different, but let's get to work, M, hold on. H said, giving his friend his medical ID, they both went into the staff room, put on white coats, pinned on their badges and slowly looking out of the room they looked at the doctors and nurses busy with their duties, who as it turned out today made an impression.
- and why are you looking at those chickens, let's go or your eyes will pop out of your head. She said M with obvious disgust because the sight of the short-haired, lithe nurses was a sight that caught the attention of the tall agent who was turning up his nose and short beard.
- what, wait, M, don't tell me you're jealous.
- come on, we need to quickly question the patient, come on, and then we'll see.
- but what will we see. H asked again looking back at the two nurses before he was pulled by his black tie.
- what. H asked and M pushed him into the elevator and put her fist in front of his eyes.
- like I said, today is not the time to be a child, a little seriousness, we have a job to do. She said M but when H reacted with a quiet laugh, M didn't even look at him but pressed her lips tightly and got angry at her friend who was currently amused by this whole situation.
Finally the elevator stopped on the top floor, the two agents entered the green and white corridor that led in two directions, to the operating rooms themselves and to the places with intensive observation, both agents looked at each other and nodded, H as well as M, they approached the last door through which another nurse was just coming out, a girl with long golden hair and visible cleavage and a short dress, M immediately took the initiative when she saw how the nurse looked at her friend with those big eyes of hers and stuttered slightly.
- Excuse me, is patient Denis inside, we need to examine him and please do not disturb us. She said M.
- Sure, sure, yes, he is waiting for you, but I warn you he is nervous, I think we will have to transfer him to the lunatic ward, he has no injuries or wounds but his psyche is very torn, and, please call. Said the nurse who quickly wrote her number on a white piece of paper and handed it to H, and when she left shaking everything she could M immediately took the white business card from her friend's right hand and tore it into small pieces.
- You won't need this, and don't give me such eyes here, don't laugh because you know where this piece of trash will end up, you know where. She said M and her friend nodded silently a few times and went with M into the room where the ginger man was lying on a white bed tied with belts, Denis with his eyes closed lay trembling slightly and the equipment he was connected to constantly showed great agitation associated with great fear.
Two agents approached the patient lying near the window, between two cabinets and when they looked at him suddenly Denis opened his brown eyes and his short ginger hair suddenly bristled with pure fear, Denis looked at his doctors who were looking at him with a questioning expression on their faces.
- you, you, white ghost, white ghost, he did this to me, white ghost. Denis said terrified.
- what white ghost again, do you know this ghost, do you know where. Agent M asked but Denis only started shaking his head shouting the same words out loud and the equipment on his right side began to show another high tension and nervousness, even terror.
- white ghost, white ghost. Denis repeated and his eyes suddenly trembled even more when Agent H pulled out a photo from Absol from under his white coat and black suit.
- ghost!. Denis shouted struggling in a wild frenzy, Agent H immediately hid the photo and grabbed the terrified man trying to calm him down.
- he won't say anything, he doesn't know anything, he's too scared, we have to help him somehow and quickly. She said Agent M taking out her memory neutralizer, a small object resembling a pen for erasing memories.
- I know he won't help us with anything, that Absol scared him pretty bad, she must have been very motivated, but why, I guess we won't find out, okay, I'm ready. Agent H said, stepping back from the screaming Denis, both agents put on black glasses, Agent M pressed the button and the light hit Denis's face, dissolving his memories, erasing them and giving him solace in silence and oblivion.
- Oh no. She said M to herself.
- What happened. H asked.
- I think I overdid it a bit, instead of erasing his memory for two days, I did it for two years.
- Come on, nothing happened, we shouldn't worry about that, we better go, there's nothing left for us here. H said, and when the door to the room was opened, a doctor dressed in white suddenly fell with a bang, trembling slightly, paralyzed by the neutralizing weapon.
- What's up. M said quietly, pulling out a small pistol with a neutralizer.
- it's obvious, our enemies are here, using neutralizers, quickly our guests are close, on three we rush out into the corridor and shoot the attackers, and now hush, turn on the neutralization pistol, we have to take them alive, and now follow me. H said holding a silver pistol in his hands walking slowly to the ajar door.
When the two agents quietly approached the ajar door then they heard a lively conversation held by three Lombax in yellow protective suits, two brothers were currently joking about nurses from the human world, and their sister Nest was again cooling them raw.
- hush, stop talking about girls you dogs on women, because in a moment you will be worse than him, now follow me, we have to take care of the patient, he will lead us to this Pokemon. Said the blue Lombax with yellow spots directing her green eyes at the last ajar door where the doctor currently lay paralyzed for an hour.
Two of her white brothers with yellow spots and yellow eyes aimed their small pistols at the ajar door and then, ignoring their dream task, began to whisper about nurses from the human world and began to laugh until suddenly the first one burst out of the ajar door and agents hit the door of the next room shooting at three Lombax.
When the shots were fired and the first hit the yellow boot Faxus, he shuddered slightly but only for a moment because his suit provided resistance to paralyzing bullets at least at the beginning because later with the next shots it could be worse and the suit itself was not indestructible, it does not change one thing, two brothers, Faxus and Edar suddenly started shooting blindly at everything that moved, especially at the exiting doctor and two nurses knocking them to the ground
- morons, gather together, quickly, stop shooting at everything, now quickly, our opponents are here before us, he will not be happy about this, we have to escape quickly, now. Nest shouted and hit the door leading to the stairs with her whole body.
- It's done. Edar said.
- We're already running to the roof. Faxuc said and together with his brother, leading a barrage of fire, they rushed to the stairs leading to the roof where their motolots were waiting for them.
- M, quickly, chase those two snowmen until they run away, I'll take care of that Lombax. H said jumping out of the patient's room and doing a few turns on the ground he shot again, this time hitting the back of the escaping Edar, who squealed and jumped up to the ceiling and disappeared behind the door.
M nodded, jumped out of the room, raised her gun and shot at the wall, breaking it in front of the patient who was in a deep coma, but the explosion and the running agent taking off the doctor's apron caused the patient to suddenly wake up screaming.
Meanwhile, when there was a momentary silence in the corridor, a blue Lombax and her opponent in a black suit rushed out from behind two alleys, both started shooting at each other hiding behind a stone curtain, both emerging from behind the curtain shot and their bullets collided with each other with extraordinary precision causing small shocks, Nest shooting and Agent H fighting with her leaned out from the curtains of the broken doors of the patients' rooms every second, the distance separating them was equal to three meters and each shot created a strange bang, until almost all the magazines were emptied, when Agent H looked at his silver pistol with an empty magazine he threw it with all his strength, Nest seeing the rushing weapon made a quick turn on the ground and avoiding the enemy weapon herself picked up her own empty weapon threw it with all her strength.
Agent H could only belch when his opponent's weapon suddenly hit him in the head and knocked him down on the white hospital floor, Nest immediately pulled out a second weapon, switched on the dangerous ammunition, exploding it and directed it at the door marked fire escape, Nest shot and suddenly a powerful detonation drove it into the wall, piercing it into the ventilation shaft.
- what is this supposed to be, is nothing in its place in this place, this, this, these are not slimes, these are bottles!. Nest screamed, at that moment one of the red bottles suddenly burst and started a real cannonade, the other two powder bottles, prepared for fires suddenly fired, one of them hit the wall and the other brushed straight at Nest, the blue Lombax in the yellow suit could only stutter and the red bottle drove right above her head, spraying everything around with white powder.
Suddenly everything broke, just like the bottle, a large hole appeared in the ventilation shaft, the whole force suddenly threw Nest into the depths, and Agent H, who was rising with a visible lump on his forehead, seeing the turn of events, suddenly rushed to the broken wall and Nest, who was clinging to the edge, H, looked down and up where parts of the steel were also breaking, it was one moment when H reached out his hand to Nest, who was hanging on a steel pipe, but Nest, seeing the outstretched hand above her, suddenly started screaming, demanding that H leave her for reasons only she understood.
- leave me, do you hear me!. Nest shouted, clenching her right hand on the steel rose and clenching her left so as not to let herself be helped.
- you don't understand, you can bend, come on, I'll help you. Agent H said, stretching out his hand until his hand grabbed the wrist of a smaller Lombax and she started struggling again.
- leave me, I don't want anyone's pity, do you hear me. She said Nest furiously.
Nest had already stretched out her left hand to hit the agent's hand but her big green eyes suddenly trembled when she saw a piece of steel falling above her, Nest didn't want pity. Because that's how she saw help from the agent, on the other hand seeing her end she suddenly trembled and allowed herself to be helped, H, pulled her up just before the falling piece of steel, Nest unloaded next to the agent, through the glory Lombax and the human were breathing heavily shocked by everything that was already behind them, suddenly Nest looked at the agent and pressed her lips tightly, furious, full of anger and when her eyes looked at the silver pistol with dangerous ammunition and the Agent who also saw the weapon, she suddenly jumped to the pistol, turned and grabbed the weapon looking straight at the still lying agent who didn't even move, Nest looking at Agent H, she was even more furious because as it turned out he didn't start fighting her, now H was looking at her with those blue eyes.
- why are you doing this to me, why are you doing this, I have to shoot your head off, no!. Nest screamed and behind her back she heard the voice of the black agent who now ran down the stairs and held her at gunpoint.
- just try it and you'll see!. Agent M shouted aiming at Nest and she glanced at Agent H trying to get up.
Nest knowing her advantage approached H constantly keeping him in her sights, Agent M could only look at what the furious Lombax was doing, but not at what was about to happen, Nest grabbed Agent H by the collar and putting the gun to his nose she squeezed it tightly to make him even more furious than before, her anger was so great that even her blue tail made strange turns until suddenly Nest dropped the gun and shocking everyone kissed Agent H grabbing him by the head with her right and left hand, Agent M seeing this, until she lowered her gun and her eyebrows crossed with rage.
- leave him you otter!. Agent M shouted aiming at Nest again and she looked back and wiggled her finger.
- I am not some otter you flat board, and you, once again, never, but never show me mercy. She said Nest and her eyes suddenly twitched as Agent H picked up her gun and handed her her own weapon.
- Run, that's the only thing I can do, today I know that you are someone who found yourself in the wrong situation, and you serve someone bad, you yourself are not like him, I see it now. Agent H said.
Nest took a step back and aimed her weapon at Agent M who was furiously clenching her hands around her gun, but the problem now was that Agent H was still in the line of fire, especially when he suddenly stood up standing right behind Nest.
- Run, please, I'm not doing this out of pity, do it for yourself and leave the one you serve. Agent H said and Nest quickly put her weapon away knowing how she could repay the Agent for what he was doing, what she didn't want.
- Mandulin, I serve him, he wants to find a creature called Pokemon, Absol, he wants this creature to lead him to his goal, some source of power or something like that, I don't understand it, there's only so much I can do today in my act of revenge!. Nest shouted.
- You call this revenge, you're sick!. Agent M shouted and her companion suddenly grabbed Nest by the right arm and pushed her into the broken door leading down the corridor to the fire escape.
- What have you done, you idiot, I'm running after her. She said Agent M furiously and she ran down the corridor after the fleeing Nest.
M treated her work today more like missions and responsibility, and at the same time she just wanted to get at Nest who had annoyed her so much and in so many ways, M ran up the stairs and ran with increasing speed, despite her increasingly chaotic breathing, M managed to run to the top of the stairs and with one strong kick broke down the red steel door, M fell onto the roof and the heavy rain, and something that was shining with the last glow in the sky from the engines that were on, it was Moto Lot, a red vehicle resembling a motorbike with the difference that it did not have wheels but only anti-gravity vehicles, Nest sat behind the steering wheel and looked down watching as Agent M was tracking her and her Moto Lot, Nest was practically expecting a shot and when it was fired her green eyes were trembling again as well as her ears and tail.
- H what are you doing again, why!. M shouted as her companion Agent H held her right hand and raised her weapon so that she was unable to hit Nest or do any harm, her shots were fired into space and the furious Nest activated the infiltration device and disappeared from sight, returning to the unknown to her boss.
After everything, when Nest disappeared and silence reigned, broken only by the sound of falling rain, Agent M kept looking at her friend who pulled her to the covered fire escape room, still unable to understand what her companion had done.
- why, why did you do it, tell me why, you ruined everything, and at least we had her in our sights, I could have.
- killed or caught her. Agent H asked.
- even eliminate her, but she would have been very helpful to us alive, maybe you liked that kiss of hers, what, admit it. She said Agent M affirmatively, when her friend looked to the right, avoiding Agent M's momentary glance, until she squealed with rage, tightening the nets, and even more so when her friend hit her in a truly playful way.
- and what jealous?. Agent H asked, and Agent M if she could, she would certainly tear the hair out of her friend's head, in the best case from her own, but she would refrain from giving her friend this satisfaction.
- I'm not jealous of anything here, you better tell me why you did it?. Agent M asked.
- it's simple, I did it to learn as much as possible, when I looked at Nest, when I helped her, I immediately knew who I was dealing with, it's a matter of psychology, after all, we were taught, weren't we. Agent H said, folding his arms to sow.
- well, yes, they taught us that, but tell me honestly, just for this, I know you and I know that you're not that mean so. Agent M asked.
- well, basically, what I did wasn't because I found out that Nest and her ilk were working for Mandulin, that he was looking for Absol, to find some source of power that would allow him to challenge the galaxy of war, it was an impulse and I would do it again, I didn't do it for information, that came later, what M, you wanted honesty, you got it, I'm not lying to you and you tell me honestly, you're jealous. Agent H asked and his friend clenched her fist tightly and waved everything off and then started down the stairs.
- so she's jealous, interesting. H said to herself but he didn't know that the one who should have escaped was still close and heard every word, hidden behind the curtain of invisibility Nest sitting behind the steering wheel of her motorcycle, Nest clenched her fists again because she actually wanted Agent H to be a cold bastard who uses everything, but not what he said at the end.
- why would he do it again, I, I blurted it out but it wasn't his intention, what a lunatic, I think I'm going crazy because of all this. She said Nest furiously, even more furious with herself then she started the engines and took off, racing north to Katowice to meet Mandulin.

John Paul II, is one of the greatest men in the history of the world, he stopped war and communism, you could say that here in Poland, my native country, our Polish Pope did more than the US president Ronald Reagan himself, because where there is faith in God there is always strength, truth, hope, and this is what systems such as communism and tyranny are always afraid of, always, and as it happens in history that likes to repeat itself even today there are voices that want to glorify communism and fight the church, because a person without faith is just a puppet in the hands of cruel tyrants.
