Ketster was breathing heavily. Moonlake without his Amulet was like a wild animal. Scratching and biting him and it was taking its toll on him. However, because of his ability, that being Endure, he wasn't totally out or the count.

Moonlake on the other hand was struggling the most, his primal and vicious bites and scratches had done quite a lot of damage to Ketster. However because of Ketster was a more experienced foe in terms of combat, he was have it worse. It was as if the little Eevees body was going to give out at any moment, but his relentlessness and desire to put Ketster in his place was stronger and that's why he refused to give up.

"I gotta hand it to you... Ngh... Your way of fighting is crude and primordial... But it is effective..." Ketster said.

Moonlake wiped the blood from his face and looked up at Ketster, the only emotion he felt was nothing short of unbridled fury, "I don't need your fake compliments-"

Then the two jumped at each other yet again. Still fighting with all they had left, punching and kicking each other while holding back no strength. From the room London and Isabel were in it was agony, they just had the feeling the little Eevee was going to lose... But would he?

Düsseldorf, Germany

Rico and Alexa arrived at Düsseldorf late at night. When they arrived, they immediately went to a safe place Alexa knew about, a flat in Düsseldorf-Unterblik.

"I was expecting something more on the run down side but this is amazing-" Rico said, the Lucario marveling at the modern apartment.

"I actually wanted to live in Germany once, but I never could make the plans to move here so I stayed in Yokohama-" Alexa replied, she set her bag on the coffee table and went to the lavatory, "I'm gonna take a shower"

"Go for it" Rico replied.

Alexa closes the door, Rico walks into the balcony and looks down at the city below him. It had been a while since he'd been to Germany, one of his greatest memories was actually when he went with Cairo and her band on their world tour and stopped in multiple cities in Europe, Düsseldorf being one of them. He smiled at the memory and sat down in one of the lounge chairs to take in the view of the city.

Not far away, however the CIA was lurking. Tetrahyde and her team were in a building not far from theirs watching them with binoculars.

"When did they arrive-" She asked.

"About 3 minutes ago" Daniella responded.

"What's the plan?" Hopps asked.

"We don't need one..." Tamara says with a smirk.

Hanging on the balcony below Rico was Waterlily. The Sylveon using her feelers to hold onto the metal support beams keeping the fence in place. A moment later Rico went inside and closed the balcony door behind him. Waterlily was holding onto her Pikachu friend as he was involved too. The Sylveon hoisted the Pikachu up and then herself.

Rico set a laptop down on the coffee table in the living room and entered the coordinates Nobita gave him. Sure enough the satellite image revealed an large structure in the area which was covered by a black square since it was a black site. There were barely any roads nearby so he assumed that there was some sort of dirt road or trail leading to the facility.

Waterlily and her partner peered inside as Rico continued to survey the area. Trees were covering most of the bunkers so he couldn't make out their locations. He growled quietly, he saw it was going to be quite the strenuous task to rescue Luke. He wasn't going to give up though, it was his brother after all and he was going to do anything he could to save him.

Waterlily pulled a device from her tactical belt. It had a screen and something that looked like a laser, she pointed it at Rico's computer and she could see what he saw. When she saw he was planning on breaking into the prison. She snarled quietly.

"Tell General Weitz and Greene... Now..." She whispered.

The Pikachu nodded and took his smartphone from his pocket. Rico looked out the window towards the balcony, Waterlily immediately moved her head. Rico sighed and turned off his computer, the feed on the Sylveon's device cut so she put it back in her belt.

Alexa came out of the lavatory, fur wet and smelling like shampoo. She was wearing a bath robe and had a towel around her neck. The Zoroark yawned at looked over at Rico who got up and went to the guest room.

"Everything ok..." Alexa asked.

Rico stopped and looked back at her, "Yeah"

"Alright-" Alexa responded.

Rico went into the room and closed the door behind him. Alexa sighed and then turned to go to her room. Waterlily slowly slid the door open and went inside the living room, the Pikachu followed behind her. She opened one of the pockets in her utility belt and took out a small circular shaped device from her belt, she then took her phone from her pocket and did some tapping. She looked around and then decided to attach the device to the underside of the sofa, the black circle had a green light under it meaning it was set.

"Let's go" She whispered.

The two went back onto the balcony and then began climbing down slowly.

In the morning, Alexa and Rico began planning on how they were going to break Rico out. The device Waterlily attached to the underside of the sofa was a hidden microphone and she was able to listen in to what they were planning. The Sylveon, Tetrahyde, Hopps, Daniella, Keyen, and her Pikachu sat in a room within the facility listening to what they were saying.

"Ok so my source shouted back to me earlier this morning. And I have an idea of how we can get Luke out of there... Quietly. There are 9 guard shifts at the rear of the prison where food and supplies are brought. The latest guard change happens at 10:15 at night. We then have 30 seconds to slip by and get inside. Security won't be a problem too because-"

Alexa set two Edelweiss prison uniforms on the coffee table, "They won't know it's us-"

"I don't know... Disguises seem pretty risky in my opinion-" Rico said.

"As long as we don't do anything that'll give us away we should be fine" Alexa responded.

"Alright... So wheres Luke-"

"That's the tricky part... He's in the most secure section of the prison. And that would S Block which is where the criminals intelligence from every country pinches end up, especially the dangerous ones like your dear old big brother" Alexa explained, the Zoroark them pulled a picture of a Hitmonchan in a pool of its own blood from her pocket and tossed it onto the table.

"The security at Edelweiss are built like Commandos, they range from ex-military to trained assassins. They're the reason no prisoner has ever made it more then an inch from the prison. But they're kind of important to us because they have keycards that grant them unlimited access to any part of the prison. They also have keys in special little phones that allow them to open the cell doors for each prisoner in the facility. If we can get one of their phones we can get Luke out of his cell and sneak him out"

"When's the guard change-"

"11:15 PM. If we don't make that we're stuck in the prison all night because that's when the night guards officially start shift. So we have an hour to find and free Luke. Now it may sound like plenty of time but this place is huge and so is the block where he's being held at so finding him could take a while" Alexa said.

"Figured... It sounds risky. But Luke would do the same for us" Rico said, he got a pistol from his holster and loaded it, "Let's do it"

Queens, New York City

"So your telling me... Luke should be given training and therapy for his rage issues" Greene said sipping a cup of tea.

"It's the only way I can see him changing for the better" Delevio responded, the Glaceon holding a can of soda.

Greene and Delevio decided to meet at a cafe in Queens to discuss Delevio's idea for rehabilitating Lukarin. Tyler and Lydia were sitting at a different table playing video games on Delevio's personal phone.

"It's either he accepts that or he goes to prison... And I just have the strongest feeling that he'll end up eating prison paste rather then learning how to control his anger" Greene responded.

"I have the feeling too... But I... I want everything to be somewhat more stable. My son lately, his behaviour has gotten so bad that I'm considering sending him to boarding school. And I don't want to do that but I'm at the end of my rope and if this deal with Luke doesn't work out... I think I'ma lose my shit" Delevio says, the Glaceon scratched her arm nervously.

"We'll give it a go" Green said, "But if he doesn't accept, I'm out of options"

"Alright"

Then Greene's phone chimed, the Arcanine picked up his phone and saw he had a message from Waterlily. Delevio took a sip of her soda.

"Guess who" the message read.

Attached was an image of Alexa and Rico at Düsseldorf's airport. Greene's eyes went wide and the Arcanine snarled, "Your going back to Germany"

Delevio was confused, "Why"

"Let's just say Ricardo is much more persistent then I thought-" Greene said.

"R-right" Delevio responds.
