-Meanwhile, In an unknown location-

"Where is Noe Town?" A female Lucario demanded as she held a badly wounded Greninja by the neck.

"I-It's by Muku Village..." The Greninja stuttered fearfully before he handed the female Lucario a map full of directons on how to get to Muku Village.

It also had an image of the village and the safest paths to take in order to get to the destination.

The female Lucario took the map with one paw and looked through it while she still held the Greninja by the throat with her other paw.

"Hmmm... "Muku Village" huh?" The female Lucario murmured aloud thoughtfully. "It's been a long time since the last time I went there...."

Then she focused her gaze back on the frightened Greninja before dropping him.

"Good...You get to live as a reward since you gave me information..." The female Lucario began.

The Greninja letted out a small sigh of relief as the female Lucario started to walk away.

"...But, your home village gets to die, as a punishment, since they refused to tell me what I wanted to know." The female Lucario finished as she grinned wickedly.

Right after the female Lucario said that, a loud explosion occurred in the village and started to burn to the ground.

The Greninja looked at the burning village in horror and quickly ran in there to get his family out of there.

After the Greninja left, the female Lucario looked up from the map and then stared at the fields of grass and flowers that's just several walks ahead.

"So....It's up ahead, hm? Just walk through the fields and I'm at Muku Village....Smart little Greninja he was." She murmured to herself.

Then the female Lucario looked over at her clothes and then pulled out some money that she found on her way here.

"Hopefully, I have the right amount of money for me to get a new pair of clothes...Because, I'm sick and tired of looking at these stupid clothes that I've been wearing for at least 20 years...

...Ever since I was dead at age 8 and was imprisoned inside that hell hole..." The female Lucario says before looking at her clothes again and scowling a little in distain.

The female Lucario's clothes were torn and in rags. Not only to mention that they were really old and outgrown.

She had shackles with broken chains on her wrists and on her ankles.

With every step or movement the female Lucario did, the broken chains on the shackles rattled a little.

Once she looked away from her clothes, she started to head her way through the fields and to Muku Village.

When the Lucario made it to Muku Village, she started looking all around the village clothing stores, in search for a new pair of clothes to buy and change into.

Eventually, she noticed a pair of clothes that she felt really drawn to.

It was a woman's blue kimono that had white flames and thick strands of gold embroidered in for the kimono pattern.

To make it short, the kimono was very beautiful and perfect for a female villain to wear.

"Oh! Miss! I seem to notice that you are attracted to that pair of clothes that you've laid your eyes on." The store clerk mentioned as she went over to the Lucario.

"How much is this?" The female Lucario asked.

"About 600 yen..." The store clerk answered.

"I don't have enough yen..." The female Lucario replied as she looked at the amount she has.

"That's alright...I'll let you keep that outfit and give you a discount.

It really suits you and no one has never bought the outfit anyways..." The store clerk says as she took the kimono off the rack and removed the tags before giving it to the Lucario.

"It's a good thing that I came in then...You were probably about to toss the outfit out and gotten rid of it." The female Lucario replied.

The store clerk smiled and nodded in agreement as she took the money that the Lucario gave her and led her over to a dressing room.

"You can go on ahead and get changed...I'll wait out here in case you need help putting it on...." The store clerk mentioned before standing near the door outside the dressing room.

The female Lucario nodded before going in the dressing room and closing the door behind her.
