Chapter 35: Loss
Canada
Moonlake appeared in the room with a rose in his mouth. London who was reading a magazine saw the Eevee climb onto him and hand him the rose.
"Oh... Thank you"
"You're welcome" The Eevee replied blushing some more.
"You're way too kind for this world you know that" London said, patting his head.
"Mmmm, hehe~" The Eevee squeaked, his eyes turned pink.
Ketster standing outside with a blank expression on his face, holding a bottle of bleach. Isabel noticed him holding the bottle.
"What's with the bleach..."
"That kid is why-"
Moonlake jumped onto of London and began licking his cheek excitedly, "Whoa, someone's very happy"
"You make me happy~" Moonlake said, his tail was swishing around excitedly.
"Heh... I guess I do"
"Team meeting in 3 minutes-" Ketster said from the doorway.
"Got ya!" London said, Moonlake tucked his head under his chin and started purring excitedly.
"I'm gonna go dump this on my eyes now" Ketster said as he lifted the bottle close to his face. Isabel alarmed at the fact he was actually going to do it snatched the bottle from him and held it high in the air.
"Hey! What the fuck!" Ketster shouted.
"There are other ways to unsee what you don't like, why the hell would you try to bleach your eyes!? You know this shit isn't supposed to even touch your skin or your fur, but your eyes?! Are you mad!?" The Leafeon shouted.
"Give it to me!" Ketster shouted.
"Of course... Not..." Isabel replied.
Ketster started jumping to try and get the bottle from the Leafeon so she started running around the base.
London and Moonlake sat there wondering what had happened.
"What" They both went.

Germany
The convoy carrying Luke was traveling on the autobahn toward Düsseldorf. It was late at night and there weren't that many cars out so it was almost silent. The night lights easily made for an atmospheric environment as the convoy continued to drive down to the prison where Luke would be kept until it was time for his trial in the US.
Waterlily and her Pikachu were inside the transport with Like who was looking down at the shackles on his legs and arms.
"Tell me-" Waterlily said.
Luke's eyes moved upward to meet with her's, "What"
"- Instead of living a life with your family and leaving this life... Why didn't you seek help? Your ex-wife tried to negotiate with you. You could be home with your kits, reading them stories, teaching them how to read and write, taking them to school, learning more about them. Yet, you threw all of that out the window just because you have a few chemicals in your bloodstream-" Waterlily said, the Sylveon took a pen from her pocket and started playing around with it.
"We had the resources to help you. You refused them for whatever reason"
"They wouldn't help me"
"Oh I'm pretty sure they would. And deep down you did know-"
Luke growled quietly.
"Your mom is an expert with chemicals like that, correct?"
Luke was silent again.
"I'm gonna take that as a yes" Waterlily replied.
"...Their version of Help was to do this very same thing. Lock me away so I can't hurt a damn thing."
"Maybe we wouldn't have to do that if you didn't constantly resist and surrender sooner. Remember, you chose this, you chose to throw your life away, you chose to fuck your relationships up-"
"Stop"
"You chose to leave your family-"
"Stop talking"
"And worst of all, you chose to leave your family and your kids"
"I SAID STOP TALKING!"
Waterlily slapped Luke with so much force the driver and guard at the front heard her strike him in the face.
The Pikachu stood up, "Miss Waterlily... Relax..."
The Pikachu slowly sat back down in front of the chained Lucario and rubbed her paw, "Asshole" Waterlily said.
Luke took a deep breathe and managed to relax himself. It was going to be a long ride to the prison Luke knew that fact for sure and he thought it best to not waste his energy on Waterlily and wait until the time was right to finally make his move.

Tokyo
Alexa sat by Rico on the couch, watching him as he slept there quietly. After about a minute, the Lucario began to wake up when he saw he was in a house he sat up quickly.
"Hey, relax-" Alexa said.
"Where are we" Rico asked.
"With my contact" Alexa replied, showing him Nobita on his computer typing, the Pokémon was eating a lollipop as he continued to work on the computer.
"Who's the kid?"
"Somemon I worked with a few times... He's really good at what he does, trust me" Alexa said, "We're uh... Not really on the best terms though"
"And why's that-"
"It's a complicated story, maybe I'll tell you later"
Rico raised an eyebrow.
"Found him, he's in Germany-" Nobita said.
Alexa and Rico went over to Nobita who was still sucking on the lolipop.
"He was transported to Berlin, he's currently on his way to Düsseldorf. He's gonna be held in a prison there and then sent to the US for his trial" Nobita said, showing them a form on Luke's current status as a prisoner.
"Whoa, thanks Nobi!" Alexa said, ruffling his head, the Meowstic growled dryly.
"Great, now that we know where he is we can plan" Rico said.
"Easier said then done... They're taking him to Edelweiss. It's ranked as one of the most secure prisons in the world" Alexa said, pointing at the transport destination on the screen.
"How secure are we talking-"
"Like, they can detect you hacking them and have a tactical team at your door kind of secure"
"We'll see about that" Rico said, smirking confidently.
Alexa gave him a blank stare, "You're awfully cocky aren't you..."
"Pretty much-"
The Zoroark banged her head on the desk. Nobita laughed loudly, then something threw the Meowstic off his chair.
"Nobita!" Alexa shouted.
He had been shot, the bullet hit him in the chest, Alexa started panicking.
"Nobi! Look at me! You're gonna be okay!"
Rico immediately pulled his gun from his holster and noticed the hole in the window.
"Nobi, come on! Stay with me-"
"M...Med-kit... Top drawer" He wheezed weakly.
Alexa ran to the dresser and started throwing things out of the drawer. She found the Med-kit and rushed back over to him to try and save him.
"Shit he's losing a lot of blood" Rico said, them he froze.
"Alexa..."
"What!?" She shouted still panicking.
"He's not gonna make it... His aura is fading, I can see it-"
She looked down at the Meowstic, the small Pokémon gave her his necklace and smiled weakly, "It was fun-"
Then his arm dropped, "Nobi!... Please!... No..."
Rico came over and closed his eyes.
Tetrahyde perched onto a building smirked and packed the AWM sniper rifle away, "That should draw them out"
"I don't understand I thought we lost them-" Rico said, then he realised something and reached into the cut on his neck pulling out the tracker that one of the CIA agents hit him with, "Wh-What..."
Alexa squeezed her dead friend in her arms, she couldn't believe what was happening. There was blood all over the floor and on her clothes. Rico bursted outside and looked around to find the sniper, Tetrahyde from atop a house waved at Rico blowing him a kiss.
"Grrrrr... Murderer!" The Lucario snarled.
