Both Ash and Rihana were currently sitting on chair facing Madara.

"So what do you kids want ? Come on! I haven't got whole day ." He asked.

"Why ? Are you in a hurry to get somewhere....?" She asked as he glared.

"Fine! To be direct , We need you to tell us where is Arceus?" Ash asked him. Madara looked at them with his eyes blinking. Then all of sudden, be banged his head on the table laughing as both Ash and Rihana remained motionless.

"Oh damn ! You guys are serious..." He sighed arching back on his chair.

"Well ! Yeah . We wouldn't come all the way here just to joke with you ....", Ash said.

"Look ! Arceus ..is Arceus. It doesn't stay in one place . It doesn't have a phone that I can just call ..." Madra told them .

"We know that but we have a very good reason to believe that you know some way that we can reach Arceus...."  Ash told him.

"We do ?" Rihana wondered internally.

"This is the report of you talking about Arceus from 2 years ago . At the very same time , when you  were asked by the interviewer to describe about it in even deeper detail , you did ....but not that day ...one week later which means you obviously didn't just get sudden memory awakening or flooding back . You must have contacted Arceus somehow ...just the make your name known ...", Ash told him as he looked shocked . Rihana was impressed too . She didn't know that Ash was such a good deductioner .

"That is Professor Westgate's theory..." Ash mutttered but Rihana heard it .

"Oh right! That made so much more sense " She sighed.

"Well ! Well! Someone is smart here ..fine! But that was one time. I have a way but that would be quite dangerous..." Madra told them .

"We are prepared ..." Ash said with determined eyes.

"Alright! You know that Arceus has life plates surrounding him . Well there are total of 16 but you need to attract only eight . Those eight plate attractors when fit together sends a beacon transmitting throught the space and time even beyond life reaching all the way to Arceus. With that you can summon it . There is just one thing. Firstly those eight plates attractor are guarded by eight guild. None of them have any idea what it is though. You would have to defeat all of them highly trained Pokemon trainers to get all plates or something like that.  And secondly , you would also have to have space time energy flowing through it to make it work . So basically you can't do it because for that , you will need Dialga and Palkia and even finding those two is virtually impossible." Madra sighed .

"Well ! It is good thing , I am here , aren't I ?" Rihana chuckled as Ash nodded . Where was Serena?she should have arrived by now . He was getting quite worried.

"Thanks for all the information. Now can you please write down all the location of guilds ...", Ash asked him.

"Why ? I mean what is in it there for me . You don't think I am just a guy you come by and get your answers and go away ." Madra asked.

"Oh! What do you want ?" Ash asked.

"Well! A kid like you wouldn't have anything on him probably. Tell me what do you plan to do once you summon Arceus ... which I highly doubt you will." Madra questionned.

"I will capture him with my masterball and use it to free Pôkemons taken from us by an evil organisation called Team Heiwa." Ash said.

"Man! You really are a joker , aren't you ?ah ! Never mind . You know what . once you do that , you will probably have very powerful Pôkemons and win Battle easily. So for every battle you win and get money in league , I would have to get 25% of it ." He asked .

"That is too much.." Rihana interrupted.

"I will take it at 15% . Tell me where are guilds or I can find them on my own too . You have already given us enough information to go on.." Ash looked up as Madra sighed.

"It seems like you know how to get what you want , Kid. Very well." He started to scribble down the eight locations in cities while both waited patiently.

Rihana was getting more and more impressed by Ash by passing second. How he handled the whole situation by himself was quite mature on his part.

All of sudden, there was a knock on the door as it opened with Serena bending on her knees tired .

Rihana gasped at her sight as she quickly put Ash 's phone back in his pocket and sent message to real Serena .

"Hey Serena! Finally you are here." Ash smiled as she came in rushing enraged.

"Oh ! You are in so much trouble. Not a single text or reply . And now I had to run all the way here after asking so many that where have you seen a boy with your hair and all ?" She glared.

"What ?what texts..." Ash took out his phone as he noticed. Wait! Why didn't his phone ring .damn silent mode . ( Rihana had turn it on to cleverly hide that she had hand in this)

"But didn't Rihana send you text to come here?" Ash asked.

"Ya ! I did . See ...." Rihana showed her phone .

" You idiot. You have just written it . It is still in outbox..." Serena groaned.

"Oh ! I am so sorry, Serena. I didn't mean to..." She began.

"Oh no! It is not your fault. It happens.It is Ash 's .." She quickly changed her glance to him as Madra looked at the trio.

"So should I keep writing...?" He asked.

As the journey continues.
