London had a big smile on his face while Howard licked his face, Ethän was hugging him, arms around his waist, eyes closed as if he was sleeping.

"How have you been?" Howard asked London.

"I've been good" London replied, the Flareon hugged Howard, the Eevee hugged London back, nuzzling his face affectionately, "Are your relationships still running strong?"

"Yeah" Ethän replied, nuzzling London lovingly, "Ha! So warm"

"I'm glad to hear that! So have you guys decided on a school?" London asked.

"Asami thinks we should go to Dreyton" Howard replied.

"Dreyton!?" London shouted.

The two were confused, London took a deep breath and explained why he didn't want them to go, "I-I have somemon's son, his name is Moonlake Kobayashi... I'm taking care of him and he - goes to Dreyton"

An Eevee with a small white shirt and white skirt came down the steps, she stared at London with her violet eyes...

"And you think we can't keep a secret?" She said.

London turned to see her on the steps, staring at him, "I never said that"

"Look London, if we in the event meet Moonlake or his friends at all - we won't tell them that we're runaways - okay?" Asami replied.

London sighed, he thought it would be alright after all to let them go to Dreyton, ever since they arrived in England, they have trusted London and he's been able to trust them so he let them, "Okay... You can go"

Asami smiled and kissed London's cheek, "Thank You" She whispered.

Howard started nibbling on London's cheeks like taffy, London was confused, "So now I'm food?" He asked.

Howard giggled and kissed London's other cheek, "So cute" London said, rubbing his head.

Then London's phone went off, Greene was calling him, "Hello?"

"Why are you in England?" Greene asked, seeing his location on his computer at his home in New York.

London smiled, "Well..."

The Eevees showed London they're goofy smiles, "I-I'm visiting some children I met a few months ago"

London gave Howard a hug, the Eevee started purring.

"That's sweet... But I'm gonna have to ask you to come back to New York... Mansur cracked" Greene said.

"We have a lead?" He asked.

"Yes... We have our next step in uniting America" Greene said.

"I understand... I'll head back now" London replied, the Flareon set Howard down on the sofa and stood up.

"Good... You're crew is waiting and Luke isn't the most patient of Pokémon so you should hurry because honestly - I'm kinda scared of him" Greene replied.

London laughed, Greene groaned in embarrassment, "Yeah sure... I'm coming now"

Then he hung up, "I'm so sorry guys, I have to go"

Howard gave London a hug, whimpering nervously, "J-Just stay safe"

London saw how worried he was about him so he knelt down and gave him a kiss on the forehead, "Don't worry about me, I'll be okay, trust me"

Howard whined as London let go of him, "I'll visit you as usual, take care guys"

"Bye" Ethän said, also worried about London.

London got in his Range Rover and drove off to the airbase. When he was gone, Howard shuffled upstairs, "Howy? Are you okay?" Asami asked, concerned.

"N-No... I just wish I could spend more time with him" Howard whimpered.

"I do too Howy, but he's busy, even I understand that" Ethän said, crossing his arms.

"I-I just want him to come back!" Howard shouted, then he ran up to his room and slammed the door.

Asami looked at Ethän, "I will never understand how much he likes having him around"

Ethän groaned, "Me niether"

Mansur was sitting in a chair, the Sylveon was still in the same clothes she had on before when she was arrested. Delevio, Luke and Rico were standing there glaring at her, she was smirking for whatever reason.

"What's so funny?" Luke asked, irritated with the smirk on her face.

She closed her eyes, "I just couldn't help but notice there is only one girl here, heh whatever"

Delevio crossed her arms, "Yeah, so what if I am surrounded by boys, I don't care"

That's when London walked in and sat down at the table, Mansur's smile went away, "So you gonna let us go easy and spit it out?"

Mansur was silent, she still hated London for causing her parents death. If the others were not in the room she'd gladly start a fight with London. But she didn't want to make things worse for herself so she stayed in her seat squeezing her fist.

"Hate me all you want, It's not I feel any worse for not prioritising your parents instead of saving a lot more other Pokémon" London said, crossing his arms.

"Now... If you do not tell us what we need to know I'll start playing the rough way, and when I start playing the rough way, pokémon start dying" London said.

Mansur still refused to speak, London laughed, "Yep, I thought I was going to have to do this"

London opened an iPad and set it on the table, displaying on the screen was a live feed of a female Ninetales watering plants in a garden, nearby Sydney.

"Your girlfriend right?" London asked.

Mansur shifted uncomfortably, that was indeed her girlfriend, "Y-You wouldn't dare target Millia" She quivered.

"If you want to save her, you will cooperate and speak up!" London shouted.

"Not if you're going to threaten her!" Mansur shouted back.

"Then you asked for it - Martin?"

"Yes sir?" The sniper replied.

"Get ready" London commanded.

A weapon was heard cocking in the background of the video as Millia took a sip from her soda bottle.

"Still think I won't kill her?" London asked.

"Th-This is unprofessional!"

"Well sometimes we have to do hard things to get Pokémon like you to talk, so are you gonna hold the secret back and I let Martin, who is over in Australia right now, kill your girlfriend, or are you going to tell us and I tell Martin to stand down and she lives. Go ahead see if I won't tell him to fire! Trust me American snipers don't miss!" London shouted, the Flareon's eyes were orange in aggravation.

Mansur started tearing up, even if she did tell London, Paine would have Millia killed, if she refused she died to an American sniper, she thought for a moment and then decided to let her live longer by revealing what she was keeping from London and the others.

"Fine! Just leave Millia alone you prick!" Mansur yelled.

"Technically you are the prick for siding with Paine" Delevio corrected.

"Now start talking because I can still give Martin the command" London said, taking the iPad off the desk.

After Mansur finished explaining, Greene met the four at the World Trade Centre. To discuss the information she gave them which had proven to be reliable.

"Turns out Mansur spoke every word of the truth. This is Amber Shiratori... But Luke and Rico here better know her as Amber Jamison" Greene said, on the board was an Aloalan Ninetales with a pink ribbon around her neck, she was smiling happily as she looked at the camera.

Luke and Rico looked at each other then at Greene, "That's our mom"

"Sure is, the reason your mother left you two is because of this -"

The screen displayed a mysterious type of bracelet and a set of different coloured crystals next to it, " - You're mother left you to keep you two safe. She was working and experimenting with a pretty powerful and dangerous source of energy contained in the crystals. She was experimenting with the crystals when a PMC attacked the laboratory in Geneva where the crystals were being tested, She escaped with all of her research and managed to escape to San Fernando in the Philippines"

"When was the attack?" Delevio asked.

"The attack was conducted  by the Jackov Private Millitary Company on May 5, 2010, everymon at the laboratory was killed in the attack, everymon except for Amber. After the incident the laboratory was closed down and Amber started to resume her research alone. However, I understand what Mansur told your related to her home in San Fernando, correct?"

"Yes" Rico replied.

"Your job is to transport Jamison to Seoul so we can fly her to the UK where she'll be safe. It's the utmost importance that the Surren and the PMCs Paine hired do not get they're paws or wings or whatever on her research because if he does, this war will be a lot harder to win even if we do have London's very powerful endowments" Greene explained, "You leave tomorrow so rest up"

Later, while Benoit held onto him. London got a text from Ethän who was back in England, he picked up his phone and saw the text Ethän sent him.

Ethän
Howard's really worried bout u, you should call him

London sighed, "Oh that boy"

Benoit rolled over, "Me?"

"Huh? No you're fine" London replied, rubbing his head, Benoit purred lazily.

"Hurry, I'm gonna be cold!" Benoit squealed, London rolled his eyes.

London got out of bed and called Howard almost immediately he picked up.

"L-London is that you?" Howard asked waiting for the tube with the others.

"Yeah... Howard, are you scared I might die in action?" London asked.

"Y-Yeah! I care about you so much, y-your like a father not just to me, but to all of us" Howard whimpered.

London sighed, "Howard, how about this, I'll take every one of you out to eat"

Howard was excited, "Really!?" He shouted excitedly, London moved the phone from his ear.

"Yeah, I promise. Now I gotta go okay, I have an assignment I gotta take care of"

"Stay safe!" Howard said.

"I'll try - bye bye"

"Buh bye!"

London hung up and turned to see Benoit glaring at him, "Who's Howard?" He asked threateningly.

"He's five Benoit" London replied crossing his arms.

"Uh huh" The French Eevee replied, "I'm watching you"

London facepawed and got back in bed, "Were not dating"

"Uh huh"

"Seriously? You're one tough nut to crack" London replied, rubbing his head.

"Nyeh hee hee" Benoit giggled, enjoying the message London was giving his head.

"Maybe not" London replied, Benoit kissed his cheek and rested his face on London's fur.

The next day, London, Delevio, Luke and Rico were all flown to the Philippines. Once they touched down, the CIA gave them a black BMW X5 (Which I believe you need to have shipped to the Philippines in order to drive).

While driving to her house, Rico checked cameras around the city, eventually he caught a Aloalan Ninetales leaving a supermarket, Luke cleared up the image and it turned out to be her, she was wearing a casual outfit and a black hat.

"Found her, just left a supermarket" Rico said.

Delevio noticed Luke feeling a little uneasy as London was given directions as to where she was.

"Hey, you alright?" She asked.

"I-it's just... Well I haven't seen her in years, I don't even think she'll recognise us because we evolved" Luke replied.

Delevio kissed his face, "I doubt she forgot about you Luke, besides you and Rico have, um no offense, pretty standoutish fur colours. I'm pretty sure she'll remember you two - trust me!"

Luke calmed down a little, "Okay - that helped, thanks"

"You're welcome" Delevio replied, almost hugging him on his chest and impaling herself on his chest spike.

"That was close" She wheezed nervously

"It was" Luke also wheezed in nervous manner.

"Oi! We're arriving!" London said, driving up to her house.

Amber unlocked the door and stepped inside her house before closing the door behind her, then a large black van arrived infront of the house.

"It hasn't even been 10 seconds!" Delevio shouted pulling her M4A1 from her bag. London grabbed his P90, Luke loaded his AK-47, Rico set up his sniper rifle.

Delevio, London, and Luke stepped out of the car and came into contact with the PMC soldiers and started shooting at them. Suddenly another van turned from behind them, Luke turned and shot up the windshield, blood spattered all over the windshield and the van crashed into a truck driving by. The PMC soldiers in the second van were taken care of by Rico while the three others  finished off the soldiers from the first van. One of the PMC's soldiers tried to crawl away but Luke tossed a knife at his throat.

Amber opened the door as London ran up the steps to meet her, "Are you Amber Jamison?"

"No, I'm Amber Shiratori -"

"Hey! Don't play that game with me! This is serious!" London said.

Amber sighed, she saw no point in hiding her identity, "Yes, I am, what do you want?"

"We are with the US and British governments, we need you to come with us, take your research with you" London said to her.

"With all due respect, I don't even know who you are, so no" Amber replied, she crossed her arms.

London sighed, "Then maybe they can convince you"

The Flareon moved out of the way and revealed Luke who looked up at his mother and dropped his gun. London let him come up the stairs and hug her, she gasped but hugged him back. When they finished hugging she put her paws on his face.

"Y-You're so big now" She stuttered, her eyes were tearing up with tears of joy.

"I-I know mom, I'm just glad you're safe" Luke replied.

Then Rico came up the steps and hugged her too, "Ricardo!"

She sniffled and let go of him.

"Mom - London's right, your not safe, there are probably more on the way here right now" Luke urged.

"Luke, I'm not going to let them scare me!" Amber replied, squeezing her fist.

"Come on! We're gonna get you to the UK, it will be safer there, we promise" Rico said.

London's phone went off, there were more PMC vehicles on the way to the house.

"Ms. Jamison please, this isn't a joke. They will kill you and use you're research for the better of their benefit in the war back in America" Delevio said.

"Mom, come on - please, don't be stubborn" Rico pleaded.

Ms Jamison took a moment to think, she would be safer in the company of her sons, so she sighed and groaned irritated at the decision she had to make, "Guh! Fine! But you have to help me gather my papers and everything"

"We'll grab what we can" London replied, then they all went inside up to her room and began to organise her papers and files, then they put them in one of the suitcases on the desk. Luke gently placed the bracelet in a metal suitcase designed to carry the bracelet, once all Jamison's research was collected, she got into the BMW with them and drove off, not even seconds after the BMW picked up speed, a black SUV screeched around the corner started chasing them.

London noticed and started driving faster. Luke shot the driver, the SUV spun out of control and crashed into a lamppost. Rico started calculating a faster route to the airbase, then he got a call from the Captain at the airbase, "Hey, what's up?"

"Rico! Do not return to base!" The captain, an Espeon, commanded.

"What! Why?!" Rico said.

"The PMC hunting Jamison is engaging us here, you'll have to go by sea" He replied.

"But sir -"

"Just do it!" He shouted, then the sound of gunfire started, "I'll be fine! Just follow my orders!"

Then he hung up, "Ah shit!"

"Rico!" Amber shouted, not approving of his language.

"Oh come on mom! I don't know what else to say!" Rico replied.

"What happened?" Delevio asked.

"Captain Adams and the others at the airbase are under attack by the same PMC looking for mom, he told us to go by sea" Rico replied.

"But how are we gonna get a boat?" Amber asked.

"That's my question" Luke replied.

"I have a boat here!" London said.

Everyone looked at him, "You do?"

"Yeah, I bought it in 2018, I use it sometimes" London said.

"What ever you say, just hurry, there are five vehicles closing in on our location" Rico said.

After a long one hour drive avoiding trees and driving in the dark, they arrived at a house on the beach and an unusually large yacht next to it. When they saw it, their mouths dropped open.

"Y-Y-You bought that huge thing!?!" The others shouted.

"Yep!" London replied, giving a smug look to the others, "Now who's hungry?"

They all continued to stare at the yacht as it bobbed on the shore. London made some steak for everymon to eat on the ship while Delevio loaded the BMW into the yachts storage deck, surprisingly it was able to hold the cars weight, Luke decided to keep watch. While on the ship everymon decided to ask Amber about her research. They were surprised by the results she found.

"So mom, would you like to share your research?" Rico asked.

Amber sighed, she thought it wouldn't hurt to explain her "My research has its ups and it's downs. The up side is it works, test subjects showed increased strength, agility, intelligence, and an increased amount of accuracy when shooting both arrows and weapons. They also demonstrated a list of other things I could rave on about! However, with the up sides come the down sides, as the testing went on, the test subjects began to become more irate and became addicted to the serum in the crystals, so addicted, one of the fighting types we were testing killed another one just to get his crystal, after that I had to kill him because he was just too dangerous to have around. I think if the PMC had not come, the subjects would have probably killed me and stolen the research themselves. After the incidents, I studied it on another test subject here in the Philippines but what I noticed is that the subject didn't become addicted like the other test subjects I had in Geneva. Since then, I've concluded that certain Pokémon like the Machoke I had to put down are unable to control themselves with those crystals and the serum in the crystal and some Pokémon like the Lucario and Vaporeon I tested it one are able to control themselves with no big deal and surprisingly no side effects what so ever" Amber explained.

"What Pokémon are able to stand it?" Delevio asked.

"Fortunately for you guys, Eevee evolutions, and Lucarios are able to stand it" Amber said with a smile.

"Yes!" Rico shouted excitedly.

"However, it's unstable when given to Dark, Fairy, Dragon, Poison or certain fighting type Pokémon" Amber explained.

"Hm" London replied.

"What effect would it have on a fire type like me?" London asked curiously.

"Above all, the fighting type and fire type crystals performed excellently. There was 0 bloodlust, no side effects, and their intelligence went up even after they had the bracelets taken off" Amber replied.

"Start the ship!" Luke shouted.

Everymon turned to him, "Why?" Delevio asked.

"The PMC is here!" Luke shouted, then the Lucario started shooting them.

London and Delevio ran to the bridge to start the ship. Rico got his sniper rifle out, attached a special scope to it, and started shooting at the PMC. London and Delevio quickly set everything up and started the boat, soon the boat was moving away from the shore and toward the sea.

"Hold you're fire!" The PMC officer shouted, "Damn it!"

Meanwhile on the boat, London and Delevio set the boat to automatically sail to Seoul (Yes, some boats are able to be programmed with self nav systems), then they headed back onto the bridge.

"Is everyone alright?" London asked.

Delevio gave Luke's side a big hug, Luke smiled and hugged her back, "Oh hey London"

London looked over at her, "Yeah?"

Luke held Delevio's paw, London smiled, "You finally told him! I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks!" They both replied.

Later after finishing their food, they all went to bed while Rico slept upstairs on the bridge making sure nothing went wrong with the nav system. Amber studying the molecular bonds of the crystals rather then sleeping... But eventually she got tired and went to bed. London slept alone but he didn't really car. Delevio and Luke slept together for the first time, not before chatting it up in the room London gave them, the two gossiping about how action packed their day was.

The next day, London awoke to the sun hitting his eyes as the boat started to approach Incheon, South Korea.

Soon, every other Pokémon onboard woke up and started getting they're clothes and stuff on. Delevio and Luke got off the ship to go find some food and take in the sights of busy the bustling city with its busy Pokémon and a constant flow of Korean chatter. However what they did not know yet was that the PMC Paine hired had tracked them to South Korea, so when Delevio and Luke left the restaurant with they're breakfast that morning, it was as easy as following a blind and deaf old lady.

"Who wants some?" Luke asked.

"Me!" London shouted.

"Ooo let me try!" Rico shouted.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to have a bite" Amber said.

However before they could dig in, the PMC arrived and started shooting at the yacht, this caused a panic on the streets nearby and Pokémon all sizes and shapes began running away in fear.

"Oh for fuck sake!" London and Luke groaned at the same time.

Amber grabbed Luke's ear, still not pleased with the language, he started flailing in pain, "What did I tell your brother back in the Philippines?!"

"Ah ah ow ow! I'm sorry mom, geez!" Luke shouted.

Luke grabbed his AK from the coat rack nearby and started shooting the PMC soldiers, one was shot dead in the head, Rico blew one of them back into a car. London though, had a much more brutal yet effective way of finishing them off. His eyes turned orange, at first Amber thought he was loosing his mind, but the he summoned spikes to deal with the PMC, all of them were either impaled, cut in half or decapitated by the spikes which turned into crystals once they were dead.

"Okay, now let's get outta here" London said to Rico, he ran up to the bridge and started up the boat, which quickly started picking up speed as two more black Hyundai SUVs arrived, missing the window to start shooting at them completely.

"All right, we are almost at Seoul. Once we get there, let's take a much more cleaner approach" Delevio suggested.

"What do we need to do?" London asked.

"First we need Korean plates for the BMW, second, Amber we need to go to the clothing store..." Delevio replied.

Amber gulped, she wasn't a huge fan of clothes shopping and she also thought Delevio was going to give her a wacky outfit. However, all it turned out that Delevio bought her was a Gucci shirt, some loose jeans and black shoes and a black headband. Once she was back on the ship, she groaned, she felt more comfortable in the clothes she was previously. But if she wanted to stay alive, she had to keep on the disguise Delevio gave her.

"How does she look?" Delevio asked.

Amber looked like she came out of a her house at 3 a.m.

"Awesome!" Luke and Rico replied.

"Uggh! Your just saying that because I'm in high end clothes" Amber groaned.

Soon they were back on they're way to Seoul, while they were on the way to South Korea's capital city, Amber shared her findings with the others.

"So your saying that the bonds effect different Pokémon in a different way?" Delevio asked.

Amber nodded, "I theorised that when used the gems on Pokémon who didn't show any signs of addiction to the chemical, the composition of the minerals in the gem stayed the same. But when exposed to a Pokémon that cannot contain the power, the composition starts to change rapidly... Another reason I wanted to keep this out of Paine's paws is because it Zoroark are one of the Pokémon who CANNOT contain it's power. If he does use it, he'll end up killing just about anymon, this will also lead to chaos"

"Hm" Delevio replied.

"Well, you are free to continue you're research in the UK" London said to Amber.

"I know, thank you" Amber replied.

Suddenly a helicopter swooped over the yacht and started firing at the ship, Rico grabbed his rifle, he took the shot but the boat went under a bridge.

"Shit" He whispered.

Then something unexpected happened, the helicopter pilot crashed into the next bridge, causing the chopper to burst into flames and fall to the river like a rock. Rico looked back at everymon else, "I guess that's his bridge to heaven"

Everymon started laughing, Delevio fell off her chair, Luke though thought the joke was cheesy so he stared at Rico as if he was crazy.

Soon, they arrived at a port in Seoul and decided to drive Amber the rest of the way, however unexpectedly, the PMC calculated the route they were taking and boxed them in on an empty street.

"Yeah, just what the fuck we need" London grumbled, he reached to pull his P90 from the glove box, but for whatever reason, Amber got out of the car. Rico and Luke both gulped, what was she planning? What was she gonna do?

"May I borrow that?" She asked London.

London was nervous, but he gave her the gun anyway.

"Amber Shiratori! You're coming with us!" An Incineroar with a scruffy voice shouted.

"Sure boys! I'll gladly come along, if you can shoot me down" Amber replied, then she loaded the P90 behind her back, the soldiers behind the car did not notice the P90 behind her back, so when the Incineroar walked up to her to try and handcuff her, she opened fire on the soldiers in front of her, while running to the side, taking cover behind a parked van, then she jumped on top of the car and rained the bullets all over them, finished off the soldiers in the front, then she leaped atop the BMW and stayed down bullet rain all over them, quicker then they could take a step forward or raise their guns. Eventually they were all killed, laying lifelessly of the floor as she climbed back into the BMW.

She handed the gun to a wide eyed London, who recieved nothing but a goofy smile from Amber, "I still got it!"

"Whoa! Mom, that was awesome!" Rico squealed excitedly.

"Mm, it was okay" Luke replied, then he smirked, "I bet I could do better"

Amber also smirked, "So you think you can take em down faster then you're old lady huh?"

"Probably" Luke replied.

"We'll see about that!" Amber said to her son.

"Don't ya just love friendly family competition?" Delevio asked London.

"I guess heh heh!" London replied, then he drove over the corpses and to the air force base a few miles on the east side of Seoul. The journey has been complete, Amber was at the base safe and sound, all in one piece and with all her research as well. After giving her some tea, Luke and Rico made a special decision for the good of they're mother.

"Aww! That's so sweet!" Delevio said.

"Yeah, we haven't seen our mom in a while, so we're gonna hang out with her for a little while" Rico said.

Amber had a lazy yet satisfied grin on her face, she was very happy to hear her own children wanted to spend time with her since they had not seen her in years, it would be a great opportunity to catch up with Luke and Rico and give her a chance to share with them her experiences while she was away from them.

"London, Delevio, thank you for being good friends to my sons! They'll be back to work soon alright?" Amber said.

"Alright!" Delevio and London replied.

Later, Luke and Rico waved to London and Delevio while the plane taxied on the runway, eventually taking off for Manchester where Amber would live out the rest of her life. Delevio returned to New York. However London wasn't going back to New York... He was going to London! (The City), why you might ask?...

The White Range Rover pulled up to the house in East Sheen where Howard was sitting, London honked the horn, Howard looked up at the car and started to walk up to it. Then the door swung open and London poked his head out, Howard smiled excitedly and knocked him back into the car.

"You're safe!" Howard squealed.

"Yeah I am!" London replied, rubbing his head.

"Are you gonna stay with us for a little while?" Howard asked.

London sighed and nodded, Howard started licking his cheek out of excitement, "Oh no! Howard ah! That tickles! Quit it! Hahaha! Stop it"

"How did it go?" Howard asked, London scooped him up and closed the door to his car.

"Swell" The Flareon answered, giving him a kiss on the forehead.

"Come on! Asami made you something special!" Howard squeaked, jumping down and pulling London toward the house.

"Really? She didn't have to!" London replied with a giggle.

"But she did! Come on!" Howard replied opening the door.

Once London was inside, the other Eevees and Zorua they took in set up a large dinner to celebrate the 6 month anniversary of the day London helped them out of Berlin and got them into England. All night the chatted and talked and ate the food Asami and her shiny Eevee twin Akihito prepared. And when they were all done, London and the children all fell asleep upstairs peacefully. They may not have been able to eat out, but the way way they're night ended, why would you need to go out?
