East Sheen, London

"London!" A crowd of young voices called out in joy.

"Hello guys! Sorry I had to be away for a while!" The Flareon says as the Eevee's he helped get into England crowded around him for hugs and licks on the cheek.

"It's alright!" Ethän, the oldest, of the Eevees with lime green eyes says.

"Did you bring us any gifts" Gryffin, one of the younger Eevees with silver eyes, asks.

"I did-" London says, the Flareon starts fidgeting around in his bag until he finds a picture book of Canada and gives it to Ethän. The Eevee smiled brightly at him, "Thanks!"

"Hey London?" Blossom asks, the Eevees pink eyes expressing exhaustion, she looked like she hadn't slept a wink.

"B-Blossom, are you ok?" The Flareon asked.

"Haven't been able to sleep lately-"

"Why's that" London questions.

"Because I'm worried about you-" The Eevee says back, then she smiles lazily and takes the Flareon by the paw, yawning loudly, the Flareon laughs a little and rubs her head gently.

"Want me to fix your fur again?" London offers.

"Mhm" Blossom responds.

"Alright, can I come in?" London asks.

"Yeah, of course!" Ethän says.

The Eevees follow London inside and close the door behind them. The Flareon spent all day interacting with them and taking the time to catch up with them since he had been away in Canada so long. London had so much fun he fell asleep on the couch, with a few of the Eevees resting with him. Ethän watched from the kitchen as London snored loudly, a slightly smaller Eevee wearing glasses came from behind him and hugged him from behind.

"He's awesome"

"Mm Howard why aren't you in bed..."

"I can't sleep...." The Eevee says showing Ethän his blue eyes.

"Well London's asleep now-" Ethän says.

Howard wraps his arms around Ethän's waist and kisses him on the mouth. Ethän's face turns red and he starts shaking, Howard laughs and gets close to his face, "I can talk to him more tomorrow... Right now I'm more interested in you-"

"W-Why are you so random" Ethän says, scratching the back of his head

"Why are you so hot" Howard says, tail wagging wildly.

London who overheard what those two were talking about opened an eye. When he saw the two boys kissing and moaning he banged his paw on the table, "What the hell are you two doing-"

"N-Nothing" The two boys said blushing cherry red.

"Oooo, you two got caught by London" Seamus says, the Eevees Irish accent showing.

"It was going to happen sooner or later-" Shannon, Seamus's sister, added.

"Shut up!" Ethän and Howard shout.

"Okay I know you two really like each other but can you not-" London says then he let his head drop back onto the pillow.

The boys, embarrassed, looked away from each other. London groaned an got up, he knelt in front of the boys who looked up at him.

"I'm not going to tell you not to love each other... But uh hold off on the sexual stuff... Okay?" London says.

The boys were reluctant at first but then they nodded. London smiles a tired smile and brings them in for a hug, the Eevees hug him back, "We'll give it a try..." They both say.

"... That's what I wanna hear" London says.

London and Isabel's home

Moonlake lay in bed, the Eevee wasn't tired however, he was angry. The fight with Ketster in Canada proved how unskilled he was without his powers and he hated it. His loss to Ketster, though not a real loss, showed him how weak he was without his powers. He squeezed a pillow, when he did he heard ripping he gasped and saw his claws had popped out. The Eevee in an angry fit of rage threw his pillow at the door, the pillow struck another Eevee in the face and knocked him to the floor. Moonlake panicked and ran over when he moved the pillow he found that it was Omar. The Eevee groaned and muttered in Spanish.

"Shit... I'm sorry-" Moonlake said.

"I'm okay chico" Omar says with a groan.

Moonlake grabs him by the blazer and hugs him tightly. Omar surprised by this hugs him back, "What's wrong?"

"I'll tell you later-" The Eevee says.

Omar licks his cheek and nests his head on Moonlakes shoulder, "Alright, that's fine. But I wanna spend time with you, catch up, you know?"

"Yeah, I need company anyway-" Moonlake says, then the Eevee puts his paws on his face and kisses Omar on the mouth.

The Eevee taken back by Moonlake's sudden kiss but he picked himself up and kissed him back. Later that night, the Eevee lay in bed holding onto a sleeping Omar. Even love wasn't enough to distract him from the anger within him, he didn't know what he was feeling but he knew he was going to be feeling like that for a while.

Germany

Tetrahyde flew backwards into a wall. The Salazzle was in a fight with Alexa. With the Zoroark's close combat skills Tetrahyde was actually struggling. Not even the batons she was using earlier did much to slow her down. She began to get aggravated so she pulled a knife from her belt and swung it around. Alexa without hesitation kicked her in the thigh and grabbed her arm, she was forcing her arm to the left so she could push the pain onto her and force her to let go.

"Drop it" She says.

Tetrahyde groans and instead chops Alexa's arm and hits her in the face with a round house kick. Alexa responds by using power up punch and that sends Tamara flying over tables on ontop of a desk, the Zoroark quickly jumps and lands on her, digging her knee in her chest in the process. She begins to punch Tamara over and over again, her rage driving her to hit harder. Tamara's slimmer body was feeling the pressure of her knee as the blows kept on coming.

Suddenly before Alexa could land another one, what appeared to be a white rope wrapped around her arm and yanked her off of Tetrahyde and into a table. Standing over her was Waterlily, the Sylveon knelt down and smirked, "I'm gonna hurt you now"

With that she began swinging Alexa with her feelers into walls, desks, cielings, computers, the floor and even the glass window looking into the room before finally bringing her in at full speed and punching her in the face. Alexa spun around and struck the wall. Without hesitation the agents Waterlily led came into the room and tied the Zoroark up. Daniella yanked her upwards and shoved her against the wall.

"Tamara... Why didn't you call for back up-"

The Salazzle coughed, "You know me... Hahaha" she said then she coughed a little.

"Medical aid... Now-" Waterlily commanded, two agents got Tetrahyde by the shoulders and carried her out of the room, Waterlily grabbed her radio and sighed, "Tetrahyde is down, but she'll make it"

The Salazzle raised her arm to give a thumbs up as the agents laid her down on a stretcher. Waterlily tossed Alexa to the Onix and Flygon agents and they began to drag her to a holding cell.

"Situation two has been dealt with-" Waterlily says over the radio, "How's situation one?"

"Working on it-" Delevio says as she dodges one of Rico's attacks, Greene takes this opportunity to use Fire Fang on Rico, the singed his shirt and burned his shoulder. Delevio followed up with a drop kick, this sent him rolling across the concrete floor once again.

"We have to team up like this more often-" Greene says with a smile.

"Agreed-" Delevio says looking back at him.

Rico slowly begins to get back up, he didn't stand a chance against the tag team of fire and ice, Greene and Delevio had worked together to compliment each others skills while fighting and it showed just how much they've fought together. Rico got up and used Aura Sphere.

Delevio created and ice wall with her powers to block the attack. Greene jumped over it and used Flame Charge the attack did a number on Rico who was left dazed by the attack. Delevio jumped in the air and Greene gave her a boost, Delevio landed on Rico head and stabbed him with an icicle in the shoulder, Rico screamed loudly and tossed Delevio off him. Greene caught her as if she was a soccer ball.

"You alright-" Greene asks, brushing off his uniform.

"Yeah, Delevio responds, "He's definitely not though"

Luke couldn't watch, his brother was getting double teamed by his ex-wife and the Pokémon who took his job away. It infuriated him, he wanted to do something, but the energy field keeping him inside his cell was an obstacle he did not know how to get around so all he could do was helplessly watch as Rico continued to get battered, burned, frozen and pummeled by the duo, he banged his fists on the energy wall as he watched Rico get overpowered by both of them.

Luke wasn't the only one who was getting angry though, there was a scrunching feeling in Rico's heart, like it was going to blow up from the inside. He could barely land any blows because of how well Lucas and Delevio were doing against him and it was aggravating him to the point where his attacks were somewhat incautious. The Lucario ran at Delevio swinging his fists, the Glaceon dodged as many attack as she could, Green suddenly grabbed Rico by one of the appendages on the back of his head and slammed the Lucario on the floor.

The other prisoners, the rowdy idiots they were, began cheering and shouting from their cells as the Lucario groaned, the ringing in his ears was loud and his vision was blurry. Things weren't looking good for him and his condition continued to grow worse with every attack and every blow he took. Luke in his cell snarled loudly he was getting sick of watching his brother take the beating he was receiving.  If it continued, Rico would surely be apprehended and his attempt at saving him would be for nothing. It was true, Rico drove him up the wall at times, but he was his brother... He loved him... He couldn't stand watching it any longer and that's when his rage began to show itself yet again. His auras energy had started to skyrocket since Rico first got into the fight with them.

Rico's situation became more dire when Waterlily, Keyen, Hopps and Daniella arrived to assist Greene and Delevio and take him down.

"Right... Now that everymons here... Combination 3! Let's go!" Greene shouted, the Arcanine started building up a Flame Charge attack, Keyen used Psychic to restrain Rico so he couldn't run or try and free Luke, Delevio summoned 2 icicles using her powers, Hopps started to build up a Flame Charge attack alongside Greene, Daniella used bone rush and created two bones, she swung them around and got ready to charge, Waterlily started to created a giant Moon blast attack.

"Go!" Greene shouts. Delevio strikes Rico with the icicles both blows firm enough to make the Lucarios head jerk, Daniella followed up and struck him in the gut with both bones from Bone Rush, Greene and Hopps built up enough power and landed a critical blow on him sending Rico flying while he was in the air, Waterlily released the Moon Blast and Rico watched as the attack hurdled towards him.

An explosion followed and so did smoke, Greene shielded Hopps and Delevio from the blast cloud while Daniella used protect on herself, Waterlily and Keyen.

"No!" Luke shouted from inside his cell.

Rico fell from the blast cloud in the sky onto the concrete floor... He was defeated, out cold. Greene sighed.

An Arbock in a military uniform arrived, soldiers standing behind him.

"General Weitz" Greene says.

"General Greene" The Arbock says back in a German accent.

"Take him to the med bay... Once he's recovered throw him and his friend in a holding cell" Weitz commands.

Witnessing Rico's defeat at the hands of Greene got Luke pretty pissed. But the energy field was string enough to keep him locked tightly inside the cell. He slumped to his knees and squeezed his fist.

Rico was cuffed to the stretcher and carried out of the hall into to the medical ward down in the cellar. Once his wounds were treated him and Alexa were processed and tossed into two separate cells in the same block Luke was being held in. Rico's quest, all though persevering and strong willed was ultimately a failure.

"Delevio" Greene said as he sat in an office.

The Glaceon stopped and turned around, "Yes Sir?"

"That plan of yours was pretty good" Greene says with a smirk, "You're going to make a great general one day"

"Thank you sir" Delevio said, smiling back at Greene, she loved getting praise from him so she jumped around excitedly as she walked down the hall to the prisons exit.

This may sound like a defeat for Alexa, Luke and Rico

... But is it really?
