Getting dropped off on Melemele island per his request, Ash let Lusamine and Burnet return to his private island, the young man's eyes fixed on fulfilling his friends' and Brother's requests to conquer slaves for them. Thinking of the best place to check in the city was none other than the Melemele shopping mall, Ash made his way there, only to find the place packed full of locals and tourists alike.
"It's like a damn maze in here..!" Ash breathed as he navigated the labyrinth of boutiques and market stalls.
As he continued further, entering an open air courtyard in the center of the mall, park benches and grassy turf awash with families spending the day with their kids and teens hanging about. Just as Ash figured he was searching for a needle in a haystack, Ash turned around, only to see his friends walking and talking with each other, not yet having noticed their unspoken group leader a few yards away.
"Hey, guys!" Ash called, waving over to them.
"Oh shit, it's Ash!" Trevor grinned, signaling to the other two to join him.
Grabbing some shaved ice and an empty picnic table, Ash and co had some time to relax and talk.
"Caught yourself a Scizor, huh?" Ash asked Alain, smiling as his friend revealed a pokeball containing the young man's prize.
"We all decided to comb the routes north of here. The northern section of the island is home to tons of unique Pokémon." Alain explained.
"I myself caught an Chargabug." Clemont grinned, flourishing a Net Bakl. "Trevor here went to the beach and caught himself a Pyukumuku...only after getting socked in the face when he stepped on it by accident!"
"Oh, shut up, four eyes!" Trevor scoffed as Clemont laughed at his friend's misfortune. "I was just distracted taking pictures of the waves!"
"More like snapping pics of those delicious blondes we passed by." Alain smiled, remembering how Trevor was ogling over the beauties so much he stepped on his soon to be second Pokémon.
"You saw that tall one! Her body was made for sex!" Trevor replied, proud of his commitment to taking the photo.
"So you got yourself a Salazzle, huh?" Alain changed the subject, impressed how Ash managed to fill one of his school work tasks despite his...lustful distractions.
"Yep. She's gonna be real handy. Both in battle, and with capturing babes." Ash smugly grinned, spinning Salazzle's pokeball on the tip of his index, before popping it into the air, catching it as it fell. "Lusamine told me she's an anomaly of her kind. She seems to understand that I'm the alpha, though, so making her use her pheromones for my purpose won't be an issue."
"Exploiting that luscious resource even further, I see!" Trevor sly grinned, giving Ash a side eye. "Well now that we have you with us, it's about time we consider following up on the promise we made."
"And by 'we', I think he means you." Alain shrugged, knowing full well what Trevor meant.
"That's exactly why I'm here, actually. I figured the gals you three were looking for are enough of the girly types to visit shopping malls." Ash explained.
"As odd as it would sound, we were scouting the place out, ourselves. Hoping to see if we could even hope to isolate those three targets effectively." Clemont sheepishly admitted, afraid he and his friends were acting more like stalkers than anything. "We actually saw the three gals we want come in around the same time."
"Lyra went to go check out this clothing shop on the top floor." Trevor explained, the young man revealing he'd snapped pictures of the targets before hand to confirm they were their peers rather than some lookalikes. "Marin went to a flower shop to pick out some gifts for her Pokémon, or whatever on the floor above us. And Kris went to go check out this video game store on the basement level."
"Kris? That tomboyish girl from our class? I thought you were interested in Leaf?" Ash asked, perplexed.
"Oh, her? Yeah that was just a small phase for me. Saw her in that sexy miniskirt the other day and I thought she was a keeper. But Kris? Oooo, baby! I just want me a gal who's interested in what I'm in to." Trevor replied, dismissing Leaf as little more than a fleeting crush. "And besides, those thighs on that girl? Mmm! I wanna take a bite!"
"Oookay then, sure. I can role with that." Ash responded, confused but none the less willing to oblige his friend.
"You know, I saw Leaf with Lyra earlier. She might still be with her if you wanted to take what Trevor doesn't, Ash." Alain spoke up.
"Huh?" Ash asked, taken aback by Alain's suggestion.
"Oh, come on. Don't give me that look. She's a member of the cheerleading team, like those other girls you got." Alain grinned, knowing Ash had no reason not to capture her. "Besides, from what I heard from the other cliques bantering about during school lunch break, I heard she took an interest into you after your club became the popular place for many of the girls in the school. If I were to guess, she probably would like to join in on the fun. Get what I'm saying?"
"Fair point. I supposed it was odd that she hasn't spoken to me since I made the spa club." Ash admitted, recounting how he would have the occasional conversation with her as well as other students during the transitional period between classes. "I suppose I can give it a try."
"Attaboy!" Trevor chuckled, smacking Ash on the back. "Now, it's best if we don't travel in a big group, so what do you say, Alain? You and I sit tight while the two brothers head out and catch our prey?"
"Sounds like you just don't want to do any of the legwork to get what you wanted." Alain sighed, knowing Trevor's intentions. "But, I suppose he is right. Big crowd or not, we'd stand out like a sore thumb. Better leave the capturing to the expert who can keep it discrete."
"Looks like these two will stay behind. Why don't I come with you then?" Clemont asked Ash. "You two just keep a lookout. The girls are spread out, so those we don't go after first could likely move. Call us if you see them or whatever."
"Roger that!" Trevor eccentrically saluted to the duo, causing some pedestrians to turn heads toward him.
"You can be...SO embarrassing sometimes...you know that..!" Alain groaned, facepalming as Trevor continued to do dumb poses.
"Come on, let's chat." Clemont whispered to Ash as the two walked away.
Finding a discreet corner of the mall, Clemont held out his hand to Ash, as if asking for something.
"What's up?" Ash asked, curious.
"Can I see the Mind Alteration Device for a second?" Clemont asked.
"Yeah...sure." Ash said under breath, handing over the hypno pen, wondering what Clemont was doing.
"Just gotta make some adjustments." Clemont smiled before turning around, hunching over as he began to tinker with the device.
As a few minutes passed, Ash's curiosity finally got the better of him.
"Alright, I'll bite. What are you doing?" Ash asked, patting his step brother on the shoulder.
"All done..!" Clemont smiled before turning back to Ash. "Behold, the Mind Alteration Device, running the Mk 2 operating system!"
"Mk 2?" Ash asked.
"After studying the device, I had realized that there were some adjustments to be made. It's power pack inside, while hidden cleverly-might I say so myself- was close to dying. I would've hated to see my most successful experiment have its energy source go out, so I replaced it with a more sustainable battery." Clemont grinned, proud of his work.
"Cool...but is that all?" Ash asked, almost certain that wasn't all there was to it.
"I'm glad you asked, Ash!" Clemont smiled, pointing to the end of the pen. "I've modified the tip of the pen to now host a beam splitter which you can modify the angle and pitch of the lasers it can shoot. The beam splitter allows up to three laser beams to emit at once, solving for the problem of multiple persons in a room! Afraid of having to keep a laser trained on one person's eye, leaving the other person aware of what you've done? Gone are those days, for now, so long as you can accurately pitch the laser, you can snare three people in the eyes now!"
"Where would I be without you, Clemont?" Ash grinned, taking the pen back from his step brother.
"I'd say it's perfect time to pay me back for my services." Clemont grinned before realizing a group was turning the corner.
Peaking from the corner, Ash and Clemont's eyes widened as they saw Kris, Marin and Lyra walking together, smiling and chatting.
"They're here?! And all together now?! What were those two guys doing?!" Clemont asked quietly.
"Well, I suppose it was a bit much to ask just two guys to keep an eye out for the girls, all without moving far from the courtyard." Ash surmised. "Probably just took around way around the mall. Either way, this is a perfect opportunity to use my new modified pen."
Without any hesitation, Ash turned the corner in brazen boldness, standing in front of the three girls in the otherwise isolated and quiet end of the store.
"Oh! Fancy meeting you ladies here!" Ash smiled, waving at them while playing the encounter off as mere coincidence.
"Oh, it's Ash! What's up, dude?" Kris smiled.
"What brings you over here?" Lyra asked. "I heard from a bunch of the other students you and that Lillie gal went off on some yacht. What's that about?"
"Oh, it's nothing much." Ash shrugged while holding his head in feigned bashfulness. "Just an old friend showing me her old home. What brings you gals over here?"
"Oh, we were just shopping together, and we thought we'd come someplace quiet. All the restaurants were packed, so we thought we'd wait it out until we got set." Marin added. "Leaf said she wanted to meet up with us around here, too, but I don't know where she is. Did you see her by chance?"
"Nah, sorry. I'm sure she's probably looking for you three as well. Maybe if you stay here, she'll eventually meet you?" Ash offered, dragging out the conversation to give himself the perfect opportunity, tuning the hypno pen with his hand behind his back.
"Oh! How silly of me! Why don't I just text her instead!" Marin facepalmed, the ditzy brunette completely forgetting about her cell phone.
"Tehe! Of course, I forgot as well!" Lyra giggled, her butt jiggling underneath her short shorts, causing Clemont to get flush red, his eyeglasses fogging up as the young man kept himself concealed around the corner.
"Oh, just one thing, girls. Can you look at this for me?" Ash asked, feigning a bit of distress. "It's my lucky pen, but it's broken or something. Nothing's coming out of the end of it!"
"Huh?" All three girls asked as the raven haired teen revealed his hypno pen.
Calculating for the height difference in the girls, Ash turned on the pen, blasting each girl in their eye with a beam, the trio stopped dead in motion, their eyes listless and empty and their minds vacant, awaiting their brainwashing to be instilled.
"'Hey, can you check and see if my pen is broke?'?" Clemont asked, a bit offended by such lack of imagination. "That's the best you can come up with?"
"I had to think of it on the fly, man! Give me a break. I'm usually more tactful with my prey than this." Ash scoffed.
"So this is how an entranced subject looks under my device's power..." Clemont gasped, walking up to Lyra as she remained in her zombie-like state.
Running his hands up to her breasts, Clemont blushed red as he began to feel the tits underneath the cloth, the still enraptured teenager moaning monotone in response, her ensnared mind still finding joy in the touch, despite being currently suppressed.
"Lyra, as of this moment, you exist to be Clemont's personal, secret sex slave. You love bringing him pleasure and exist to obey his every command. Fulfilling these commands gives you euphoria beyond measure, and you know it to your core that to obey him makes you an ideal woman." Ash instructed the hypnotized girl. "Kris and Marin, you feel the exact same way except for Trevor and Alain, respectively. You will all serve them secretly or however they deem it, so long as your true nature as a slave isn't exposed to anyone else besides them and me. Understood?"
"Yes..." Trio said in uniform, their brainwashing ingraining into their very being an personality.
"Then awaken as your new selves, destined to serve your betters forever." Ash finished, switching off the beam.
As the trio blinked, coming to, their minds quickly adapted to the permanent commands seared into their brains, the broken trio of girls smiling blissfully.
"Thanks Ash!" Marin smiled. "Thanks to you brainwashing me, I've realized my true calling. I must find my Master and worship him! Alain, my love! I'm coming!"
"I appreciate you as well Ash! I will repay this favor you've given me in time, but first I must find my darling Trevor!" Kris grinned, walking off on her own too.
Leaving just Lyra behind, the brunette looked at Clemont who still yet continued to fondle her chest, only for the blonde teen to back away bashfully, embarrassed by his perverted act. Simply smiling at Clemont, Lyra held her hands up to her tits herself, rubbing them in her fingers.
"What's wrong, Master? Don't you want to molest your horny little slut?" Lyra teased him, wrapping one of his legs with her own, the hypnotized girl now humping the young inventor's leg. "My body is your plaything..! Why don't we go back to your place, and I can show you just how committed I am to my role as slave..!"
Getting erect instantly, Clemont hastily grabbed Lyra by the hand, running off with her, straight to the hotel room.
"We can talk later, Ash! First I have to test just how resilient this slave programming is, firsthand!"
"Bye, Ash! Thanks for making me this hunk's sex toy!" Lyra waved goodbye to her brainwasher as her new owner marched her back to the hotel for experimentation.
Ash put his device back into his pocket, the young man now left to himself, pondering the usage he can achieve with this new modification to his hypno pen. As he was lost in thought, however, a person clinging to the shadows, having witnessed the whole thing finally stepped out, spooking Ash.
"So you've been brainwashing our fellow students and teachers with that thing? I can see why you're name's going around, now." Leaf smiled, putting her hand on her hips, her red miniskirt swaying as she strutted up to her fellow classmate.
"Leaf?! Oh-oh, this?! This is nothing, it's just!" Ash stammered, realizing he'd been caught, desperately fishing for his hypnosis device.
"Ssshhh..!" The brunette slyly whispered, putting her finger to the boy's mouth to diffuse his tension. "It's okay, I've had a pretty good idea on what you've been about for a while now. Your secret's safe with me, pretty boy..!"
"What's this about?" Ash asked, a bit on guard still from the brunette's bold confrontation. "You know what I'm about?"
"I've had my eyes on you for a while now, ever since the Vipers' raid on that Prospect supply truck in the dessert. You may not have noticed, but I was a part of Hilda's crew during that little operation." Leaf grinned proudly, taking her finger gently off Ash's lips, running the finger to her own mouth, almost as if tasting it before returning her arms to her side. "Don't you recognize me, now?"
"You're a Viper? Prove it." Ash demanded.
"This proof enough, pretty boy?" Lead smugly smiled, revealing a bandana she had stashed in a pocket on her miniskirt, its colors matching that of the iconic Seviper color scheme Hilda and the other Vipers wore on their faces to remain anonymous. "I've always seen you around school, so imagine my surprise when another fellow Lumiose Academy student pitching in to help fight those bastards. But one thing I never understood is just why Hilda took such a quick liking to you so quickly. Ever since that operation, She'd been singing your praises to the others so often, you'd think you were her boyfriend, or something."
"And you wondered why she saw so much in me, I presume." Ash asked.
"I noticed how quickly you'd been catching on with all the girls in the school. Even the teachers were fawning over you. I knew you were special after that truck raid, but your genius idea of making a club to trap and brainwash girls into serving you? Magnificent strategy." Leaf grinned.
"You know I brainwash girls for my own reasons, but you don't care?" Ash asked, perplexed by how little she seemed bothered her friends got brainwashed.
"I overheard you talking to your guy friends in your hotel the other night. Sorry for eavesdropping, but from your conversation, I can gather you not only are doing this for your own pleasure, but for Viper's benefit as well." Leaf smiled, getting up close to Ash. "That's why I lured those girls up here. To see if you'd commit to your word. And not gonna lie, seeing those girls turned into slaves got me hot..!"
"You...planned this?" Ash asked.
"All to be sure you were as I suspected you were." Leaf mischievously grinned. "And might I say, you performed to the letter. My job in Viper's isn't that major. Whenever I can't make time to leave campus grounds to help, Hilda asks me to keep an eye on our fellow students. To make sure Prospects isn't preying on them like they've done to so many others our age around Lumiose as a whole."
"So...where does that leave us..?" Ash asked. "What's you're goal here?"
"Well... I see a man, and a very handsome one at that, using a device he can brainwash people with to aid our little group. I like to think it's nice to stay on your good side. Be a good little girl for you, like Hilda would want!" Leaf giggled before pounding on Ash, wrapping her legs around him, making the raven haired teen hold her against his body by her butt. "Besides, you making those three into good little girls got me so horny! Can I ask you to help me with that?"
"Well, if that's the way we're gonna play it..." Ash grinned, taking the advantage of this situation into his favor. "We're doing things my way now! You're gonna be taking orders from me for now on, Leaf!"
"Mmm..! Hilda told me you were assertive. I like that!" She moaned as she got pressed up to a nearby wall.
Putting his hands under Leaf's skirt, Ash deftly rubbed her pink panties underneath, the brunette already a bit wet from watching her friends getting brainwashed. Keeping her pinned, Ash put gentle kisses on Leaf's tender neck, the teen moaning from the more dominant personality.
"You like submissive girls as your sex pets, don't ya?" She asked playfully, winking in joy as he began to find his fingers inside her cunt, the panties now slid down her thighs. "I can see why Serena would've been eager to be your dirty little slut!"
"Don't deny yourself, doll. You want it too." Ash grinned, holding Leaf by her cheeks to force eye contact.
"When I saw my friends striped of their free will, the need to think, I got turned on more than I've ever been. Whatever you did to them, I want you to do to me!" She smiled, her blatant fetish shamelessly offered up in word to the young man.
"Well, as long as you're a good little girl for me, I might just make you my next toy!" Ash whispered into her ear with intoxicating seduction.
"Yes daddy..! I'll be a good little girl!" Leaf hummed contently as Ash lowered his head down to her crotch.
"Don't moan or cum until I tell you to, slave." Ash ordered her.
Sticking his head into her crotch, her red miniskirt forming a small tent covering the top half of his head, Ash began to lap at her wet entrance, Leaf helplessly squirming against his wet, wriggling tongue.
"Oooohh..!" Lead heaved, her face beet red as her lover continued to eat her out, the brunette clasping her mouth shut to stifle her moans with one hand, petting Ash's head under her skirt with the other. "Keep going..!"
Grabbing her succulent, thick yet toned thighs, Ash proceeded to shake his head, gyrating his tongue inside his partner, her moans still covered by her own hand.
"Good girl!" Ash spoke underneath the red curtain that draped his head. "But don't come yet. I'm not done playing with you yet!"
"Yes Master!" She obeyed, doing all in her willpower to contain her orgasm.
Getting back up, Ash began to unbutton Leaf's pink sleeveless blouse, revealing her supple double C cup sized chest without a bra.
"Weather too hot for you?" Ash teased, noticing her lack of undergarment. "Well, I'm gonna make you even hotter..!"
Cupping his lips around her left tit, Ash began to unfasten his belt and unzip his pants, readying his rigid cock for his partner, who was already barely holding it together. Noticing his size, Leaf's eyes lit up in jubilee, her mind already fabricating a fantasy of how he'd feel inside her. Changing his position, Ash carried Leaf to a nearby bench, bending her over it.
Holding fast to her slender, hourglass hips, Ash slowly inverted himself into his lover, who barely could contain her excitement any long.
"Fffffuuuckkkk!" She drooled, her eyes rolling into her head as she continued to submit to her man.
"Hush, slave. We're in public! Your moans are for my ears only!" Ash ordered her seductively, taking a free hand to stroke her tailbone and spank her rump.
"Yes, daddy!" Leaf squeaked, stifling her cries of joy.
Pumping faster and faster, Ash continued to give his partner ecstasy unmatched as his phallus continued to get glammed down on by Leaf's tight virgin cunt. After a few meager moments, Leaf was already beyond her breaking point, only holding herself together by her Master's will to keep her joy contained. Suddenly, sounds from the mall began to grow louder, as if a crowd of people was soon to approach the other wise isolated area.
"We don't have long, slave. I'm gonna have what I want, and you're gonna give it to me, quick." He demanded, pumping faster and faster. "Repeat what I say: You exist to obey me and me alone!"
"I exist to obey you and you alone!" Leaf moaned, repeating her orders.
"You love giving pleasure to your other sex slaves, including Hilda, as you know it pleases me." He continued.
"I love giving pleasure to your other sex slaves, including Hilda, as I know it pleases you!" Leaf regurgitated back to him, her mind focusing on the words deeply.
"Your life's purpose is to serve me and obey me forever, knowing that's what good girls do." He continued.
"My life's purpose is to serve you and obey you forever, knowing that's what good girls do!" Leaf heaved, her mind now concentrated on the mantra, the orders themselves giving her immense pleasure.
"You are my slave, now and forever!" Ash grunted into her ear.
"I'm your slave! Now and forever!" Leaf gasped, her mind broken from the pleasure.
"You have my permission to cum now!" Ash smiled, firing his own ejaculate into her hot cunt.
"Oh fuck...!" Lead screamed, only to be quickly stifled by Ash's hand cupping her mouth.
Her cum gushing like a flood, Leaf's body quivered in her owner's arms, the brunette coming to terms with what she went through. As her thoughts collected, Leaf cupped Ash's face before kissing him.
"I think I'm gonna like being your little slut..!" The teen blissfully grinned.
The two didn't have long to soak in their joy, however, as more people were just around the corner at that point.
"Use that pen on me, later, Master! We need to make tracks!" Leaf stammered, running over to grab her clothes off the floor.
"Right you are. Let's bounce." Ash agreed, urgently zipping up his pants before taking off down a different alley before a crowd of people turned the corner, finding nothing but wet patches on the ground and bench.
Retreating outside the mall, Ash and his newest conquest caught their breath before looking at each other, laughing together.
"I can't believe how great that felt!" She gasped, her cunt still warm with Ash's seed. "So much better than any toy I've used. And in public? My my, my Master is a deviant..!"
"You're quite a degenerate yourself, slut." Ash grinned, wrapping her around the waist, bringing her in for a kiss. "Who'd a figured a girl got turned on by seeing their friends brainwashed?"
"I just always loved the idea of being broken by someone. To be used and objectified was a dark little secret I felt ashamed of, until I saw you happen to like women like that." Leaf smiled. "I'm serious, you know. Use that mind control thing on me. I want you to break me even more! I want to nothing more than a tool for you. I think you can be trusted, both with Vipers and my body!"
"Wanna know a little secret?" Ash smiled before whispering into her ear. "I broke Hilda and her sister as well. They're my sex slaves and pawns as well. Soon enough, I intend to force Prospects out and make my Vipers control the Lumiose underworld, all while my other pets control the other side of society."
"That sounds absolutely domineering and devious...! I like it!" Lead grinned ear to ear, accepting just what the young man had in mind when using her.
"Then, my little broken pet. Look into the light and let me make you mine, forever!" Ash grinned devilishly, conquering the already broken Leaf now completely.
After making sure his friends got their own secret slaves to play with, Ash brought Lead back to Tapu Island to introduce her proper to everyone. As day turned to night, and as Ash's harem partied into the night, more sinister forces began to plot elsewhere.
Meanwhile, on the artificial island of Aether Paradise, a guard standing sentry at Faba's cell door was approached by another.
"Shift change. You're free to take your break." The man said, his head lowered, his Aether uniform cap obscuring his vision.
"Sure, sounds good. Just wanna make sure the man inside's gotten all his business handed before light's out." The guard on duty replied, sliding his keycard to unlock the door to Faba's cell.
As the two stepped inside, the door locking behind them, the bruised and battered Faba looked up at the guard who had been watching his cell.
"Terrance? Who's that guy?" Faba asked the man, knowing for sure he had never recognized that man before.
"Oh him? Oh, he's gonna be your night guard for tonight. Probably some new hire." Terrance smiled before turning to the man. "What did you say your name was?"
"I didn't." The man replied bluntly, his hands behind his back.
"Well, either way, I'm heading home for the night, Faba. Is there any trips you need to make to the restroom? A glass of water, perhaps?" Terrance asked, the young Aether employee offering Faba any sort of convenience before clocking out for the night.
"No Terrance, that will be all." Faba waved him off.
"Why did you do it sir? Why did you betray President Lusamine? I heard stories about how you helped her and her ex husband start this company. You were an inspiration to so many people here. Why betray that trust?" Terrance asked, walking up to Faba.
"You don't understand, Terrance. Something big's going to happen, and soon." Faba shook his head, before looking to the man still standing behind Terrance. "You're a good kid, Terrance. If I was you, I'd turn around and head out the door, while you still can."
"What are you talking about? Mr Faba, did something happen to you? Are there people after you?" The young man asked in concern for his disgraced former boss.
Faba's eye tracked the man in the back as the man began to pull out something from his back pocket.
"Terrance behind-" Faba shouted, the man still too injured from the beating he received from Ash earlier to even move.
But it was too late. Before the young employee could even turn around, the mysterious guard put a handgun up to he back of the guard's head, the shot killing him instantly, sending Faba into a panic as blood from the exit wound sprayed onto his lab coat.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!" Faba screamed as Terrance's corpse fell to the floor, the "guard" wiping blood splatter from the muzzle of his suppressed firearm.
"That's another one you could have spared, had you not talked, Faba." The man callously said, all before shooting the man in the head a second time to confirm his kill. "This whole ordeal could've been avoided had you just kept your mouth shut. Did you really think we wouldn't know that you leak out secrets to nosy do-gooders?"
"Wh-what are you going to do to me?!" Faba screamed, looking into the corner of the room at the security camera.
"Don't even bother thinking anyone's coming for you. Security has already been hacked. They've no eyes or ears on us. The perfect conditions to tell me exactly what you have told others about our plans." The man apathetically explained, walking behind Faba, still stunned in his chair, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"I-I was just a contractor! I never got far enough into your group to know anything substantial! Please! Let me go!" Faba begged, far too petrified and injured to move, his eyes darting over his shoulder to the mystery man as well as Terrance's body bleeding on the floor.
"It's too late for that Faba. We both know that. Contractor or not, you simply know just enough about our plans to set us back decades if you let enough slip." The man said so matter of fact, his finger on the trigger.
"I-I told Lusamine and some kid about you all having big plans with Lumiose as the center stage! There! Is that enough?! Can I just go now?! Please! You'll never hear from me again! Just go and kill her if you want to keep the lid shut!" Faba began bargaining.
"Oh, I'm afraid that isn't on our todo list as of yet. You see, if Lusamine was to disappear from the public eye so suddenly during her campaign...well, then we'd have so many more people looking into it. You, however? Your role on stage ends here, I'm afraid." The man said, grabbing Faba by the neck before putting the gun against the side of his head. With a single shot, Faba was killed instantly, the former chief scientist of Aether foundation now slumped over in his chair, dead.
Cleaning off the gun with a chemical rag, the man removed the suppressor from the gun before leaving the firearm in Faba's hand, walking out the door of the cell and departing from Aether Paradise discreetly. Taking his leave on a speedboat, the man sped off over the moonlit waters of Alola, calling an accomplice over the radio.
"Faba's been dealt with. I staged the crime scene as per your orders, boss. Lusamine Aether may have found some idea of it from Faba, but only vague hints. Project Azoth remains on schedule." The man replied.
"Well done, Gale. I knew I could count on you. I've already tipped off the appropriate channels about Faba's untimely suicide." A man over the radio replied, a sense of pride in his assassin's accomplishment. "Report back to Kalos now. Xerosic is beginning to move the subjects to a new study facility, and I believe that Xander will need some guidance on the matter of security."
"Right away, sir." Gale replied, the Prospect lieutenant ending the call before speeding off into the night.
