London

Delevio and London sit in a park as they watch their children play around. The Flareon notices Moonlake come over and crawl into his lap so he could lay down on him.

"You okay?" London asks, stroking his head gently.

"Mmmhm" Moonlake replies, he licks London's cheek and lays his head back down on his chest.

"He's really that happy with you huh?" Delevio says.

"Pretty much" London says, messaging Mooonlakes little head. The Eevee smiles enjoying the soothing feeling the message gave him, "Has Tyler's behaviour gotten better?"

"It's been downhill since Luke left... Even when I opened up to him and told him the things his father did... He still wanted to see him. I don't understand why he thinks his dad is such a saint but I have news for him... He ain't one"

"Yeah... That's true-"

"... Thing is though, his mother Amber... She gave him some sort of temporary cure. We're working with her to find a permanent cure for Luke's little serum in my blood makes me go apeshit problem"

"What's about Rico-" London asks out of curiousity.

Delevio sighs and shakes her head, "They went to Kai Industries headquarters in Shanghai and grabbed an experimental serum from there. Me and my team intercepted them before they could leave the city and we almost got them... But then Rico drank the serum that they stole and now's he's pretty much worse then Luke was on a bad day. Just yesterday, he got into a fight with Luke at the prison after he found out about the deal I made him for his rehabilitation, Luke still handed his ass to him though"

"So they've basically switched personalities?" Moonlake asks.

Delevio laughs to herself for a while when she does realise that they're personalities did in fact switch, "Yeah... Pretty much. Anyway... While Luke is being rehabilitated in Wisconsin, Rico's going to a mental asylum in Norway if he can't present enough evidence in court to save his ass... So yeah, that's the situation right now"

"How long would Rico be in the asylum for?" London asks.

"... A long ass time from what I've been told" Delevio responds.

"Man, I kinda feel bad for him" London says.

"In a way I do too-" Delevio adds.

Then London's phone starts buzzing. The Flareon takes the phone out of the picnic basket and sees Kovar is trying to video call him, the two look at each other and then London answers the call.

"Sir?" London says when he sees Kovars face appear on the screen.

"Agent Winters... Agent Bottelavicci..."

Delevio waves to Kovar.

"Come down to Vauxhall. This is urgent-" Kovar says.

"I'll be there as soon as I can-"

"Good" Kovar responds, then the Umbreon hangs up.

"What do you think it's about?" Delevio asks.

"I have somewhat of an idea-" London responds while stroking Moonlake's head.

Shanghai, China

Remember that intern that was sent by MI6 to China to spy on Kai Industries? Well if you do then congratulations!

A Joteon sits at her flat looking just the smallest bit on edge as she waits for the secure MI6 transmission to start, it's the beginning of the night over in China and the stars are sparkling gorgeously in the sky. The first thing she sees when the screen turns on is Kovar, London, Delevio, Moonlake and a few other agents sitting around a table.

She sighs in somewhat of a relieved manner as she gets up and closes the blinds.

"Alright Agent Lai-Fan, what news do you have for us-" Kovar says.

The Jolteon takes a deep breath and starts talking, "I have reason to believe Kai Industries maybe making a hasty move to acquire that Canadian Eevee they want so badly. Huang was in a meeting with a bunch of unknown Pokémon and they talked about kidnapping him and taking him to an undisclosed facility within China. I didn't hear a lot more because I almost got caught listening in to the meeting but that's the extent of my knowledge as of right now. I also gathered that intel you tasked me to get"

"Good work, Lai-Fan. Contact us when you have more updates" Kovar says.

"Yes sir" Lai-Fan responds.

Then the feed cuts to the MI6 logo before she closes the laptop and sets it down on the floor. She doesn't even get to the kitchen when she hears heavy footsteps outside the flat. She opens a drawer and grabs a P-90 and a Glock 17. Before disappearing into the closet. Just as the closet door closes, a Kai Industries squad of mercenaries barges into the flat. Lai-Fan takes a shaky breath before pressing her body into one of the dark corners in the closet. When one of the Greninja on the team opened the closet door all the daw was clothes and dresses for other stuff. He says in Chinese that she's not there.

5 hours pass as the Jolteon watched them turn the flat inside out for her. When they didn't find her they radioed in that they couldn't and left the flat. Once they were gone, she emerged from the closest and noticed they hadn't gotten into her laptop, she breathed a sigh of relief and went into her bedroom she brushed away all the stuff carelessly tossed into the floor and got a bag out from under one of the floor boards. Inside were some cash in US dollars, a few guns, passports, and a few other things that would help her if she decided it was time to flee China... And it was just about time she had done so.

She pulls the bag out from under the floor and then sets the floorboard back where it originally was. Before she leaves she makes a call on her phone and paces nervously while waiting for the Pokémon on the other end to answer the phone.

"Come on you idiot pick up"

10 seconds later... "What now"

"Churahi! Hey it's been a while hasn't it?"

The conversation switches to Mandarin Chinese...

"*What have you done now Lai-Fan*" Churahi asks sounding somewhat moody.

"*I'm in a bit of a pickle again! And I need to get out of the country*" Lai-Fan says.

"*Last time I helped you out it was a disaster*"

Lai-Fan whines nervously, "*Come on this isn't the time for this! I have other Pokémon from the dodgy science corporation on my ass and I need to leave the country... Urgently. Look, your the only one I trust with this sort of shit, just help me out here*"

The Pokémon on the other end of the line grumbles, "*Fine... Go outside and hurry-*"

"*I knew I could count on you*" She says excitedly.

She grabs her bags, loads her service weapon and opens the door, she looks both ways and makes a run for the emergency exit. Meanwhile at Kai Industries headquarters Huang watches on a CCTV feed while smoking a cigarette. The Raichu put out the cigarette and picked up a radio, "*She's leaving the building, most likely fleeing the country. Stop her*"

"*Yes sir*" A voice answers over the radio.

London
A random Sainsbury's supermarket.

"Why did you do it" A voice says.

Delevio turns her head to the left and sees Luke looking down at a package of meat. The Glaceon is taken back by his sudden arrival. Delevio takes a deep breath and sets the basket full of groceries ontop of a crate.

"Why did I do what"

"Why did you offer me therapy and shit-" Luke says, then he looks down at her.

Delevio grumbles.

"Don't get me wrong... I'm greatful. But why? I thought you fucking hated me" Luke says.

"Wanna know something funny? I can't hate you Luke. Yeah, your frustrating to deal with but I can't hate you" Delevio responds.

The Lucario puts the package of meat in the basket and starts walking. Delevio reluctantly picks the basket up and follows him as they walk to the register.

"Why are you here in London and not in the US-"

"My rehab doesn't start for another week... And I wanna see Tyler. You will let me see the kids right?"

"... It's only fair" Delevio says.

"Where are they?" Luke asks.

"I'm borrowing London's car, they're in there-" Delevio says, "Hey-"

"Hm?"

"I know you hate my guts right now... But I'm hoping we can still have somewhat of a positive relationship with each other. If not for me at least do it for the kids"

Luke grunts as he drops his groceries on the conveyor belt, "Whatever"

"Okay..." Delevio says with a relieved sigh, "... Okay"

Once they're done checking out they're groceries Delevio took him to the car where Lydia and Tyler we're playing video games. Luke knocks on the window to get their attention and waves at them.

"Daddy!" They both shout excitedly.

They open the door and jump on their father, Luke smiles as the kids lick his face affectionately, "I see you two are doing great"

"Gah!" Luke shouts, he looks down and sees Tyler is squeezing him tightly. Delevio watches from the driver's seat while Tyler cries tears of joy. Luke rubs his head and picks him up.

"Hey Tyler, what do you think about some father and son bonding?"

The Riolus face lights up with happiness, "Hell yeah!"

"That's what I'm talking about!" Luke shouts.

Lydia who's inching up Luke's body like a caterpillar until she gets to his face then she puts a sticker on his cheek and starts laughing.

"Your still as goofy as ever-" Luke says picking the Eevee up and putting her on his shoulder.

Delevio smiles as she watches the kids play around with their father. Luke spends the week in London catching up with his children, re-establishing friendships with others and relaxing. On the night before his flight to Wisconsin however the only thing he could think about is how bad Rico must have been suffering from the effects of the Attack Dog X serum. He was on the couch with Delevio, London and Isabel all three of them were dead asleep after all 4 of them watched a movie together. The children were all upstairs also exhausted and sleeping all over Moonlake's room.

The fight with Rico at the prison back in DC kept replaying over and over again in his mind. He squeezed his fist tightly and got up to get some water from the fridge, he sits down at the dining room table and rests his head on his paw.

"Just hold on Rico... Just a little longer" The Lucario says to himself.

Washington DC

It's the day before what was supposed to be both the Jamison brothers trials... But now it's only a trial for Ricardo. Even though Luke was supposed to be the soul focus of the trial, the CIA still had a lot of evidence stacked up against Rico as well, with the most severe being the fact he aided Luke in stealing an experimental serum from a foreign country and drank one of the vials knowing full well the effects it would have on him. The fact he got into a fight with Luke at the prison they were being held in didn't help his case either and it all the more proved how unstable he was.

Rico, still locked in solitary confinement, stared down at the damp floor. The sound of water pattering on the floor was bothering him to the point he couldn't hear his thoughts. He groaned and layed down on the concrete floor trying to sleep... However the water started dripping again, he grumbles and rolls over to the other side.

Crestwood, New York

Greene watches on his laptop as Rico groans and rolls around on the concrete floor from his home in New York. He shuts off his computer monitor and walks around his house, seeing his kids playing and an Espeon bearing a satchel outside of his gate looking at his kids as well before looking up at him. The Espeon places a paw on the caller and Greene’s phone starts ringing. He picks up his phone.

“Hello?”

“Mister Greene, I am with the Canadians. I apologize for this abrupt interruption but I need to discus something urgent with you.” Greene sighs before calling his kids in and telling them to play in their rooms. The Arcanine walks up to the gate with a pistol in his paws.

“Who are you?”

“You’ll get a chuckle from this, but my name is Hiemdall Greane.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Can’t say I blame you, it’s spelt G-R-E-A-N-E. But I’m not here much for a ‘meet-and-greet’ as much as I am for international security and a very real terrorist threat.” Greene looks at the Espeon.

“What’s in the bag?”

“A list of personnel I would like to request that the CIA help me search for, as well as my weapon, extra magazines, and a five terrabyte hard drive with information you will want to see.”

“Your weapon, pass it through. Slowly.” Hiemdall slowly reaches into his bag and pulls out a Browning Hi-Power 9mil and slides it through the gate muzzle towards himself. Greene takes the dainty pistol and places it in a second holster.

“What would you have done if the weapon was bigger than the holster?”

“I would’ve used your gun.” Against his better judgement opens the gate for Hiemdall and closes it behind him.

“Move... Now.” Greene orders. Hiemdall is directed through the house until he arrives in Greene’s office.

“Your kids seem to enjoy themselves here.”

“Oh for the love of... Where’s the hard drive and list?” He growls.

“Again, I apologize for coming on such short notice.” The Espeon says pulling out two sheets of paper and a large hard drive.

“Most of that information was stolen near and before the Surren V Playfeld war. It was stolen and recovered by my team’s leader who is currently on a task of his own.”

“Oh, and what’s your team name? You got to have something.”

“We call ourselves the Guardiolem Task Force.”

“The fucking what?” Greene says as he starts laughing. “That’s the most retarded name I’ve ever heard!”

“I didn’t come up with it, our leader did.”

“And who’s your leader?” Greene says laughing.

“You know him as Kyle Verdagri.”

“Who?”

“Wait, do you know the current situation of Canada?”

“No?”

“We’re going to war with Kai Industries.” Greene stares at Hiemdall.

“How? That’s… but it’s a… how?”

“They attacked a town in a northern part of a province where my team’s hideout was.”

“They did what?!” Greene yells as Hiemdall rubs his temples.

“I think we may have to do this a little later, long and short of it is, our team is a priority on Kai Industries’ list of things to destroy.”

“I, but? What? How didn’t we get any information of this?” Greene asks holding his head.

“Sometimes, terror attacks can’t be stopped.” Hiemdall says bluntly. “We just have to pick up the pieces and get back on our feet, Est modo deinceps”

“What?”

“Rough translation, ‘There is only forward’, now, how about that list and Five Terrabyte drive? All that information is yours if you agree to allowing us access to these individuals.” Hiemdall says as he hands over the list.

“Absolutely not! Not those two!”

“Which ones?”

“Lukarin and Rico Jaimison! You are not taking them from my supervision!”

“Guess not everything was as updated as we thought.” Hiemdall mumbles. “Why not?”

“They have been hunted down across half the damn planet to be captured and brought back here. You have no idea how much resources we’ve been throwing into capturing those two. But uh... Luke, of the brothers, is undergoing rehab right now... So you can talk to him if want-"

“I can imagine. We need those two, they are a must have.”

“No, and several of the Pokémon like Todd Berkanfield here on this list are either in witness protection or dead.”

“Dead or ‘quote-unquote dead’?”

“Legally, I can’t say.”

“Well, if you’re going to be this disagreeable, then I guess I have no more business here.” Hiemdall says as he picks up the list and hard drive, sliding them both into his satchel.

“Hopefully the FBI, and DHS will be more cooperative than you have proven yourself to be.” Greene’s eyes lit up in fury.

“I believe I require an escort off of your premises and my weapon returned.” Hiemdall says with a small smile. Greene slowly stands up and towers over the Eeveelution.

“FBI and DHS?!”

“Yes, I have a couple of friends who are inquiring with them as I am with you. Should you give us the Jaimisons, that would definitely help you and them. If you place them in our care, then all you’ll have to do is wait for them to be finished in their missions and then they’re yours to do with what you wish. We only ask for them for maybe six months at most and you can have them back afterwards.” Hiemdall says, still smiling and not seemingly fazed by the towering Arcanine. Greene sits down and puts his head in his paws.

“... Ricardo is not mentally stable right now. You can talk to Lukarin. But Rico's going to a mental asylum, end of story. I can offer you another agent to accompany him though”

Hiemdall sighs, “That agent better be exceptional then”

"Trust me... She is"

He opens his satchel again before placing the list and 5 Terabyte hard drive on the desk.

“It'll have to do for now I suppose. If you would be so kind as to make the calls soon, please. We don’t like waiting or being lied to.” He says standing up.

“A pleasure doing business with you.” Hiemdall says stretching out a paw to shake. Greene glares at his paw before bringing his own paw and shaking while giving Hiemdall his pistol back in the same paws.

“Show yourself out, the gate will lock behind you.” He says as Hiemdall slides his pistol into his satchel and pats it.

“Would you like me to close the door behind me?”

“Leave it open.” He says as Hiemdall walks down the hallway. Greene looks out the window and watches as Hiemdall walks out the gate and the gate closes behind him. Hiemdall looks directly at Greene and waves to him before walking down the road.

Greene plugs in the hard drive and sees two files. One labeled ‘CIA Files’ and one labeled ‘Project: Evolution (For those with clearance)’. Greene clicks on it and it opens to two files. One said ‘Genesis’, and the other ‘Guardiolem.’

“Guardiolem?” He clicks on it and sees a mass of videos. Greene clicks on the first and a voice starts speaking.

“If you’re watching this, I hope you… wait, the lens is on.”

“What?”

“The fucking. Hang on.” The lens is removed and an Eevee is sitting on a tree branch.

“Okay, if you’re watching this, you better have seen the first one, so go back if not.” Greene pauses the video, goes back to the first file called ‘Genesis’ opens it and starts playing.

“It’s dark, really dark. And in the darkness, Arceus said, ‘What in my name am I doing?’”

Greene clicks on the pause button.

“I don’t think I want to know, this’ll be a tomorrow thing.”
