Washington DC

Greene is sitting with the agents in a restaurant. The mood is somewhat desperate because of the way Rico's lawyer Braxton was handling everything, and at the rate he was going it looked like things were about to become a dumpster fire, but Greene had an ace up his sleeve.

"Body cam footage!"

Everyone is silent, they all look at the Arcanine as if he had just commited a taboo.

"Body cam footage?" Tetrahyde blurts out, absolutely bewildered by Greene's sudden outburst.

"You all had your body cams working at the time, correct?" Greene questions.

"Yeah, but Keyens was damaged when we were in China. No explanation needed as to why" Waterlily says, she sips her tea and sets the mug down on the plate.

"Not to worry, the Chinese were courteous enough to send us the footage from Luke's arrest. We can use it as evidence" Greene responds.

"Hm, interesting idea" Keyen replies.

"I have plenty of footage from my encounter with them in Kitami. When they see Rico defending Luke and attacking me while trying to apprehend them, they'll have to bring the hammer down on him" Tetrahyde says with a confident smirk.

"I can try and maybe salvage the footage of him attacking me with the sword" Keyen adds.

"Footage from San Francisco showing Rico defending Luke will do as well" Greene says.

"I have footage from the exact moment he betrayed me and London back in New York" Delevio says, a smirk slowly grows on the Glaceons face, "I definitely have enough footage to incriminate him, there's no way he can get himself out of that boiling pot if he tried. Once the court sees all my footage, they'll have no choice but to proceed with criminal punishment"

"Delevio has been on the case longer then us... Her footage will definitely prove useful" Waterlily says.

"True... All right, lets present our body footage as evidence to the court" Greene says. He takes a big gulp of beer and then bangs the mug on the wooden table, "He's going away for a long time"

London

Ketster walks into the kitchen wearing a pair of boxer briefs, head fur mildly dishelved and electricity sparking across his fur. He pats it down his fur, quelling the sparks before reaching the fridge.

“I can already tell this wasn’t my grandest idea.” He yawns before opening the fridge and pulling out the milk and pouring himself a glass. Sleepily, he walks to the table and sits down before he goes to take a sip of his milk.

However he wasn't the only Pokémon who was awake that morning, a certain Eevee dressed in his sleeping clothes silently walks in the kitchen. As he's walking to the fridge, he sweeps the chair Ketster is sitting in, as he's about to take a sip of the milk he poured, the chair makes a loud sound as it collides with the floor, Ketster lands on his back, the glass of milk on his chest. The Eevee can feel his blood pressure rising, Moonlake looks down at him with a smug smirk on his face.

"Ikea chairs, am I right?" Moonlake says, barely keeping himself from laughing himself to death.

The Eevee lets out a laugh as he walks away from the moody Canadian. However this wasn't the only thing Moonlake did to annoy his new roommate, oh no, he didn't stop there.

Ketster is sitting there watching the TV, as he's there a small blue portal opens and an Eevees paw pushes a button on the remote changing the channel, Ketster looks down at the remote and sees nothing so he changes the channel back to the one he's watching, this time Moonlake mutes the television when he's not looking.

"Haha very funny" Ketster retorts.

There's silence so Ketster sighs and unmutes the TV. Not even 30 seconds later the Eevee uses his magic to unplug the television, Ketster takes a deep breath and goes to plug it back in. Moonlake creates a string with his powers to trip Ketster with, causing him to land on his face.

Moonlake comes from behind the sofa and looks down at the aggravated Eevee, "You okay? You must be tripping"

Moonlake walks away laughing his butt off, meanwhile Ketster curses the Eevee out quietly. Even after that though, Moonlake took it a step further by putting glue on the door handle to his guest room, Ketster struggles for a while to pull his hand from the door as Moonlake walks by him still smirking like a plotting anime character.

"Quite the sticky situation you've gotten yourself in... Loser" The boy says, as he walks away while laughing himself to death again he takes London, who's coming out of the lavatory, by the paw and pulls him away with him.

Ketster lets out a sigh, "This kid..."

Hours later, after getting his hand unstuck from the door, Ketster sees London watching the news with Benoit. Without a second thought he grabs London by the arm and starts dragging him out the door. Benoit sees London being pulled across the floor by the smaller Ketster and he's left speechless.

"Oi! Let me go!"

"So Moonlake can fuck around with me some more? No thanks"

"Ketster! Come on let go of me! I have things to do!"

"Don't care, put on your shoes"

London moans like a little child and follows Ketster's directions.

Benoit is left trying to process what just happened...

"Quoi"

The Eevee drags the Flareon to South London so he can get as far away from Moonlake as he can. It's tranquil, everything is calm and quiet, the only sounds that could be heard was the sound of the wind blowing and the occasional car passing by. London follows behind Ketster wondering at all if he knew where he was going.

"Nice area" The Eevee suddenly blurts out.

It makes the Flareon jump a bit, he never expected I'm to say something because since they left, it had been quiet between the two.

"Yeah... It's pretty quiet" London returns, with an awkward laugh.

Another moment of silence follows when they stop at an intersection, London looks around watching the cars pass by.

"Can I go home now?"

"No?"

"Why"

"I need to get away from that little fucker"

"Are you scared of him or something"

"No, he's been trying my patience all day, and I can't just let him push me around anymore. I bet when I walk back in there, a bucket of something sticky is gonna fall on my head and he'll laugh his butt off again"

“You have a really overactive imagination. Also why would you come here, to London, and stay with somemon who fucking hates you and wishes you were dead?”

“Because despite it all, he has the power and you have the skills I require.”

“For what?” The Eevee looks to the Flareon donning a smile.

“I thought you would’ve figured by now, Fire Boy”

“I literally have no idea what you're talking about”

“You'll figure it out”

London feels his phone vibrating in his pocket and reaches for his phone, he sees Moonlake is calling him and sighs, "Hello?"

"Where are you?!" Moonlake whines.

"East Sheen, why?"

"You left without telling me!" Moonlake moans, dramatically.

"Forgot to text you, I'm sorry"

"Why are you even there anyway?"

"Well you see-"

Ketster elbows London making the Flareon groan in discomfort, Moonlake's fur stands up when he hears London's pained grumble.

"On second thought... I think I can explain it to you later-"

"Say, London... You wouldn't happen to be with Ketster right now... right?" Moonlake says, hiding his rage with an upbeat smile, squeezing the phone tightly, so much so it was starting to crack.

London can feel the menacing aura from all the way in South London. He looks down at Ketster.

"No" He mouths.

"No he's not here"

"Uso-tsuki" Moonlake replies, not satisfied with his answer.

"Oh come on Moonlake-"

"Tell him that when I find him, I'm putting his arse in the dirt" Moonlake says.

"No wait! Moonlake!-" London shouts.

The Eevee hangs up and jumps off the couch. His friends and Omar are at the house playing video games, the aggressive aura Moonlake is giving off makes them stop what they're doing, the Eevee gets up from off the couch and walks to the door so he can put his shoes on.

"Moonlake! Where are you going?" Devon asks.

"For a walk... I'll be back soon" The Eevee says with a smile.

Omar grabs onto him and squeezes him lovingly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing... I'll be back soon" Moonlake says, he presses his lips on the other Eevees face and goes out the door, Omar is left blushing and confused. The others shrug, Quinn again grows ever more suspicious about Moonlake's strange habits.

---

"Why do I have the feeling there's going to be another death match between you two"

"There won't be"

"Ketster, I'm literally the one thing keeping him happy. Why couldn't you grab Isabel? She was out cold on the bed after she got back from work"

Before Ketster could answer London though, "London!?" Two young voices call out with excitement.

London jumps a bit and looks around trying to figure out where those two voices were coming from, he finally sees it's from across the street. There are two Eevees in school uniforms dashing towards him, they jump on him and knock the Flareon over. Ketster is dumbfounded by what just happened and he stares at a struggling London as he tries to get up from off the ground.

"Gah! Asami! Akihito! Why aren't you at home?" London groans still on the cold hard concrete being cuddled by Eevee's.

"We stopped to get some food for everyone to eat! And then we saw you!" Asami says squeezing the Flareons chest.

"Gryffin was wondering if you were going to come to dinner. This is perfect!" Akihito says, arms wrapped around his waist.

Ketster pulls out his phone and silently takes a picture of London with the two eevees cuddling him on the ground and sends it off.

“Who’s the Eevee?” Asami asks.

“Is this one Moonlake?” Akihito continues the question. He sniffs the air around him. “You don’t smell like you’re jealous, or horny.”

“What do I smell like?”

“Oran and Nanab berry.”

London sits up almost immediately.

“I knew it! You did use my conditioner!” London yells, pointing an accusatory finger at Ketster.

“Sorry, I really needed to get blood out of my fur. I’m surprised Moonlake didn’t pick up on it. Also, would it kill you to get unscented shampoo and conditioner?”

“You’re a real ass, aren’t you?” Akihito gets in front of London.

“The odd part is, I don’t even try to be, and even when I do try not to be an ass, by showering the scent of dried avian blood from my fur, I’m still an ass.”

“Wait, how did you do that?” Asami looks at Ketster in wonder.

“Well, two truths and a lie, I’m a clone, my dad is a descendant from a long line of powerful warriors, and the the blood of Palkia flows through my veins.”

“Blood of Palkia.” The other two eevees answer in unison. Ketster pulls his phone from his pocket when they answer.

“Yow two are good.”

“We’re super soldiers ourselves.”

“Fun, isn’t it?”

“Not really, now we’re going to school, trying to be more normal.”

“Really?” Ketster asks surprised. The sibling Eevees nod, “How was Osaka?”

The two Eevees’ eyes go wide as London looks between the three. Ketster smiles and laughs at their silent responses.

“I’m kidding, I just wanted to see your reactions.” The two other Eevees relax as London rubs their heads.

“Ketster, you need to stop putting others on edge, being a walking tank and a Canadian agent doesn’t grant you unlimited privileges.”

“Wait, Canadian?”

“Yup. Here on some business, actually.”

“Cool.”

“Sorry about Gilam.”

“Don’t be. Ain’t nothing you could’ve done to prevent it.”

“So uh, how have you guys been handling yourselves" London asks, petting both their heads.

"Great!" Asami says cheerfully.

"I installed a new microwave and an oven too!" Akihito boasts.

"Impressive"

"I know right-" The Eevee says puffing his chest proudly.

Ketster looks around as London continues chatting with the excited little Eevees. He spots a pub and decides to go in. Just as he steps inside, Moonlake comes in and knocks London over.

"Kyahhhhhh!"

Asami and Akihito stare as Moonlake nuzzles and licks London's face like he hadn't seen him in years.

"Ow... Where did you come from... Ngh-" The Flareon wheezes.

"Where have you been, I missed you!" Moonlake sobs, squeezing London tightly.

"I came down here to see somemon I know..."

Moonlake's tone immediately shifts to rage when he remembers the secondary reason why he came here, "Where is that fucking knobhead"

London gulps and backs away from Moonlake slightly as the Eevee looks around for Ketster's presence. London and the twins don't see him either, which kind of made the Flareon relieved because he had some sort of idea of what was going to happen when Moonlake found him, it entailed mass destruction and death.

"How does he do that vanishing act" London says, the Flareon can't see him either.

When Moonlake doesn't see Ketster, his attitude goes back to his regular loving, sweet personality, he grabs onto London and sighs as a smile appears on his face

"Is he-" Asami starts.

"He likes me... A lot" London responds, gently messaging his back.

"Hey London, we have this exam coming up. Can you help us study for it?" Akihito asks.

"Eh, sure. Moonlake why don't you go ho-"

"No"

There's silence for about seven seconds, the only sound that could be heard audibly for those seven seconds was a loving pur and whimper from Moonlake who was really attached to London at the moment.

"But your friends-" London starts.

"Mmm, fine. I'll walk you to the house and then I'll go home" Moonlake pouts, crossing his arms.

"You don't have to worry so much about me. I'll be fine, you don't have to worry about a thing!" London says, putting his paw on his head. Moonlake's cheeks turn rosy as a response.

Moonlake moves his paw from his head to his cheek and whimpers some more before letting London take his paw back. The Flareon gets up from off the ground and picks up bothe the twins who start laughing and giggling as London jokes around with them.

"All right, let's get you two home"

Moonlake slowly picks himself up from off the ground and smiles at the laughing Flareon carry the twin Eevees off while squeezing his chest tightly.

“Aishitemasu” He says to himself.

Then he runs after London and the twins so he can grab onto his paw. Meanwhile Ketster is in the pub, a glass of beer in front of him, he's on his phone reading about the recovery efforts in Gilam. He takes a sip of the beer as he continues to read more and more about what was happening back in Canada.

It becomes apparent something is not right when he starts to have difficulty focusing on the words, his chest felt like it was tightening and his fingers felt trembly. He groans and stands up so he can leave the pub, the pub patrons immediately notice the Eevee's radical behaviour as he manages to get onto the street, his head is spinning. It's difficult for him to see straight as he stumbles down the street and eventually into an empty park. His legs give out and he falls onto the gravel path groaning, he's in agony.

Two fancy shoes walk right by him and stop to kneel down in front of him... It's Huang and the Riachu has a cigarette in his mouth, two Meowscarda in black uniforms step out from behind Huang and look down at a wheezing Ketster on the ground.

"Why did you have to make it so hard for us to catch you" Huang says, blowing a puff of smoke in the Eevee's face.

Ketster can barely move his mouth, all he can do is look up at the grinning orange mouse, Huang chuckles a little as he admires his catch.

"I know this is when you come up with one of your quippy little comebacks but it appears your so weak you can't even talk. Don't worry though, it's only temporary"

Ketster wheezes as he tries to get words out of his mouth, Huang mockingly leans in, paw on ear so he can listen to what Ketster is about to say... The Eevee is still struggling to speak however, a smirk appears on Huang's face yet again and he lets out a triumphant laugh.

"Don't worry... When I'm done with you, you can have your life back. Take him to the van"

Ketster's eyes finally close as the Riachu walks away, the last thing the Eevee sees are the Meowscarda leaning in to pick him up.
