Asuba parked the Audi in an alleyway, near the residential district, he sighed and looked around.

"Why did we stop?" Wick asked.

Asuba pressed some buttons, the colour of the car and licence plate changed, "That's why"

Soon they were back out on the road. Heading toward an airfield.

"When we get there there will be a private jet waiting for you, I program,med it to fly you to Frankfurt, from there you guys do what you must," Asuba said.

"How many of these cars are on the road?" Sakura asked.

"2020 Audis as you know are antique cars, so there are not a lot of them" Asuba replied.

"Huh," Lucas said.

Asuba waited for a police car to pass before pulling out of the alley and driving onto the motorway, A van with the LTS turned the corner and saw them get on the motorway.

"Possible sighting of Target Vehicle near the R43 motorway" One of them said.

"Follow them!" The Lycanroc over the radio commanded.

Holly noticed the van getting closer an opened her laptop. The Vulpix hacked into the vans driving system and crashed it into a tunnel wall.

"Asuba... They still know its us?"

"How?" Asuba asked.

"I don't know" Holly replied.

Asuba squeezed the steering wheel, "I must have pulled out of the alleyway too soon"

Then a black car pulled up alongside the Audi, the Pokemon in the drivers seat used Razor Leaf on the car, Asuba deliberately crashed the vehicle into the black one, he pinned it on the side of the barrier and let the vehicle crash into a support pillar as the Audi sped on.

"Shit, we need to get a move on" Wick said.

"I know, I'm trying to go faster!" Asuba said, slightly annoyed.

Atticus and Quinnelle had just arrived at the ministers building to find a limosine with a Lynx Corp licence plate sitting outside the building.

"Tap into the camera feed"

Quinnelle closed her eyes and then opened hem again, a holographic display opened showing Shaffer and the prime minister watching a feed of Lynx tracking Asuba and Aquarius 3.

"He's-He's in on this as well?" Atticus said, the Pyroar groaned and looked back at the feed.

"Audio please"

It took a second but the audio of Shaffer and the PMs conversation started to play.

"- May I ask whats going to happen to them when you get them back?" The prime minister asked.

"I'm left with no choice but to wipe their memories blank, Aquarius 3 will start fresh, brand new, will obey your commands. As for Asuba... I think he's outlived his usefulness, the moment he aided them was the moment he betrayed the country" Shaffer answered.

- - -

Meanwhile, Asuba had just pulled off the motorway. No cars were behind them yet, but he knew it would be a matter of time before Lynx closed in on them. It took an additional hour because the Audi drove on a dirt path to avoid cameras on the road toward the airport.

Emma took Lucas paw, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just hope we make it that's all" The Pikachu replied.

"We will, trust me" Lucas said, the Eevee smiled and looked down at her rubbed her head.

"You know how you said you wish I told you sooner?" Emma asked.

"Yeah" Lucas replied.

"I kinda wish I had more courage to express the way I felt about you" She said quietly.

Wick's ears perked up and a smug smile crossed his face.

"Its okay, I'll get your phone number anyway. Right?" Lucas asked.

Emma nodded, then she noticed the eavesdropping Riolu behind Lucas.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Emma asked.

"Oh you know, I just figured out why you pulled him away for that "chat", I bet you loved it huh?" Wick said.

The Pikachu's face turned redder, "Shut up! W-W-We didn't -"

"But I bet you did" Wick replied, still looking at Emmas cherry coloured embarressed face with hi smug smile.

"You weirdo! Stop it!" Emma shouted.

Holly and Sakura laughed, "I'm gonna miss these funny moments we had" The Zorua said.

"Same" Holly replied. she looked down at the laptop and saw the Lynx Corp officers were still driving along the road to the airport, "They really don't know we're in the forest?"

"Lynx's reach can only go so far, the Lynx satellite is covering the United States as we speak so we are safe for now" Asuba said.

"So we're invisible almost?" Wick asked.

"Correct" Asuba replied.

"Whats gonna happen to your daughter?" Emma asked.

"She moved to Cornwall after she recovered, she's safe, at least for now" The Liepard replied.

"Huh" Lucas replied.

Elaine who was quiet most of the ride looked out at the trees and woods beside them

"Hey I see it!" Wick shouted.

Coming up was a gate to the airfield was the Audi which crashed through the fence, Asuba rolled the Audi up to a small aerodynamic private jet waiting at the runway, almost immediately they got out of the car and got on the plane... Suddenly without warning, a gunshot went off... Asuba grunted and collapsed to the floor, the bullet hit him in the chest.

"No!" Wick shouted.

Sakura spotted the shooter perched in a bush, and drew her pistol, shooting him in the chest and in the head.

Asuba coughed as Wick and Sakura dragged him to the plane, Just then the Lynx trucks arrived. Immidiatly Wick and Emma drew their pistols and started firing at them, Sakura started a makeshift operation to save Asuba, Elaine assisted her.

Lucas drew his weapon and started shooting as well, within a few minutes the squad was eliminated. before the second squad could start shooting a Limosine arrived and Shaffer stepped out of it.

"Now children, lets not make hasty decisions... Your confused, you don't know whats going on... And I can help you, so please lower your weapons" Shaffer said.

"You lied to us... You have been ever since we got to Tamatsu" Lucas said, the Eevee adjusting his stance as he aimed his gun at Shaffer.

"Asuba is the one lying to you... He's corrupted your programming... He's feeding you false info. His destiny has already been set, but yours can change as well... Only if you lay down your weapons that is" Shaffer responded.

"Don't give us that bullshit! You threatened to kill his daughter! He has every reason to hate you!" Wick responded.

Shaffer sighed, "Do I seem like the kind of person who does that?"

"He showed us the letter you wrote to him, threatening him! Thats enough evidence!" Emma responded.

"On top of that, you tried to erase our memories and make us government toys. Do you see any issue with that?!" Wick shouted.

Shaffer sighed once again, "I really don't want to kill you all, but I will do it if you do not comply. There are more suitable Pokemon to use for this anyway and I can build them bigger and better then you will ever be!"

"Then you'd as might well because we aren't going anywhere!" Wick shouted.

Then the Riolu noticed a black Mercedes leading several other Mercedes sedans and knew who was in the car, "But I do know where you're going"

Shaffer looked behind him and saw the Mercedes circle around the Lynx Corp units, inside each of the Mercedes were Daedlaus agents, who opened fire on the Lynx Termination squad. Yelling and gunshots erupted as the LTS started dropping one by one to the ground, all of them were on the ground bleeding... Unmoving.

Shaffer turned and drew his pistol... He was shot in the back by Atticus who emerged from one of the cars and by Wick who fired on instinct, he wheezed and fell to the floor.

"It was a pleasure serving alongside you all Aquarius 3... I wish you the best of luck in your new lives" Atticus said with a salute.

They teared up and saluted back before boarding the plane, Shaffer groaned as he watched them board the jet, immediately the three went to see how Asuba was doing.

"So?!" Lucas said.

Sakura wiped her face and shook her head, Elainne wiped her paws and shook her head. Lucas slammed his fist on the side of the plane.

"We tried our best" Sakura replied.

Elaine closed Asuba's eyes and hugged Sakura, she hugged her back. Wick took Asuba's body and gave it to Atticus, he gasped and sighed.

"I'm sorry" Atticus said, "Once again, it was a pleasure serving you Wick"

The Riolu wiped his face and looked back at the Pokemon dealing with Asuba's body. All six Pokemon onboard the plane were quiet as they watched Asuba being placed in a body bag from the window, their closest friend and the Pokemon who took care of them, fixed their enhancements, kept them virus free, and made them laugh was gone, dead.

As the plane took off into the air, they all tried to get their minds off of Asuba, but it was hard to forget about how powerful he was. In the end he chose to do the right thing and that's what Lucas believed made him strong.

"I kinda feel bad for getting him involved" Lucas said.

"He was a victim too, I couldn't blame him" Wick said.

"We should get some sleep, its a long flight to Germany" Sakura said.

"Yeah" Emma said, looking out the window.

"Let's get some sleep... Frankfurts pretty far from here" Lucas said.

Later that night while Emma and Lucas slept beside each other, they thought about the fun they had together when they were in Aquarius 3.

"Hey Lucas..." She whispered.

"Whats up?" He said.

"What if you're family are all dead?"

"It doesn't hurt to believe... Us Pokémon can live pretty long lives if we stay healthy enough" Lucas replied.

"Hm," Emma said.

Then she took a deep breath and randomly kissed the Eevee on the mouth, Lucas jumped a little when she did so, as he was kissed by Landon, he felt the urge to kiss her back and so... He did.

When the jet landed in Frankfurt, the group exchanged phone numbers before going their separate ways.

"Im gonna miss you all" Lucas said.

"Same" Wick sobbed.

Sakura gave him a hug, "Thanks"

"We'll stay in touch!" Emma said, slowly backing away, "My bus is gonna leave soon... Farewell, it was a pleasure working with you all"

"Bye!" They shouted.

"See you soon!" Wick said, running off to catch his flight to the US.

Sakura gave her Holly a hug before the two smiled at each other in a goofy manner.

"Ciao" She said, then she walked off to catch her flight to Japan.

"I guess we got a long trip back to England" Holly said.

"Yeah, come on, let's catch our train" Lucas said, she gestured for Elaine to follow them.

In the end, the former members of Aquarius 3 returned to their families who were all happy to see them and how much they had grown, matured and learned. A piece of every families puzzle had been put back and life was somewhat normal for all of them.

London

Holly and Lucas bid farewell to Elaine who reunited with her family at a park in Central London, then the two arrived on the block, lucky for them they lived not far from each other, so Lucas could still hang out with Holly when ever he had the time.

The Eevee went up to a house in Knights Bridge and rung the doorbell, he was nervous and didn't know how they were going to react, would they hate him? Would they love him?...

An Umbreon with red earrings opened the door, she was holding a bag of groceries...

"Hey didn't I say -"

She froze and started tearing up at the sight of her brothers face "Uh hey sis"

"L-Lucas? Where have you been... I.. uh.. I have been so lonely... w-without you... where w-were you?" She stuttered.

"Tamatsu... I've lived there with fake memories for almost a decade, I'm enhanced, then I was finally shown the truth... I know now that I have a sister, and a grandfather who put himself in danger for his country... My country... I'm sorry I was gone for so long Lucy, if there is anyway I can repay you -"

She grabbed him and squeezed him while crying, "You could just stay you idiot! I-I missed you so much"

The Eevee was surprised, but he managed a smile as he hugged her back.

"Can I come in?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah" Lucy said.

Inside was the whole family who had gathered to commemorate the day Lucas was last seen. As you could imagine there was lots of happiness and crying to go around as they all celebrated his return home.

Sitting in a car across the street was Elaine who was in the back of a Rolls Royce, smiling at Lucas reuniting with his family, he even got to meet his grandfather.

"Madame Elaine, shall we leave?" Her chauffeur asked.

"Yes" She said, "Thank You Lucas... For bringing me back home"

The Rolls Royce drove away as the family continued to celebrate their reunion with the Eevee and for all of them... It couldn't be more special.
