Arrive at Eindoak Town

Johto Region, Johto League.

Inside a spacious office, a tall man with bright red hair combed upwards and wearing a delicate leather cloak held a report and frowned, saying, "You said that in the past few days, suspected remnants of Team Plasma have been found in some places in the Unova region?"

"Uh-huh."

Across from him, Koga, who was dressed as a ninja, also straightened his wrist guards, tightened the straps, and said, "I got the information from Falkner's side, his people met those guys in the Unova area, the information can be trusted, at least there's no problem with the authenticity of that piece."

"Falkner..."

Hearing this name, Lance nodded his head, expressing his trust.

He was not unfamiliar with this name, rather he was very familiar with it.

Falkner was not only the Gym Leader of the Violet City Gym in Johto, he was also a high-ranking and capable search officer.

He was Lance's colleague.

This Gym Leader specialized in Pokémon with the Flying attribute, and because of his attribute, all of his points were focused on speed, so he was particularly good at arresting various kinds of operations.

"Tell me more."

Lance put down the report and leaned his elbows on the desk, resting his chin on his folded hands, revealing a quiet listening demeanor.

If he had put on a pair of glasses, Commander Lance's posture would have been even more flavorful.

"Hmm..."

Koga pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "There's really nothing complicated, so you can let Will talk to you about those things."

As soon as the words fell out of his mouth, Koga turned his office chair around, looking as if he didn't want to be bothered.

Lance: "..."

Lance was speechless.

He looked at Will, who was dressed as a magician and was reluctant to take off his mask even when he was indoors.

"...Hey."

Feeling Lance's gaze, Will also sighed.

He talked about Unova region.

"During this period of time, some sneaky guys appeared in some border towns in the Unova region, those guys had uniforms and high-specification Pokémon configurations, the international police and the local police thought they were very suspicious, so they continued to pay attention for a period of time, and finally found out that these guys were engaging in Pokémon mass-capture illegal activities in the wilderness."

"These dark organizations are really one of a kind."

Lance listened to Will's narration and spat out with a bored expression.

Will shrugged his shoulders.

He also knew the reason why Lance would spit like that.

Because, in order to prepare for the organization's overall combat power and the funds needed for operations, the emerging Team Rocket was also doing the same thing during this period of time.

When it comes to combat power and funds, it's only natural that mass capture of wild Pokémon is the fastest way to go.

Those Pokémon could be used as instant combat power for the lower-level team members, and could be sold to the Hunter Organization on a large scale for capital conversion.

"So... so... those guys, they're caught?" Lance asked.

"Almost."

Will responded to Lance's inquiry, saying: "However, after hearing their identities or suspected Team Plasma remnants, you'll realize that the international police and Unova region police didn't pry any useful information out of those guys' mouths, and they weren't willing to tell the truth after they were arrested."

"Those Team Plasma guys' mouths are really tight..."

Will smacked his lips and said, "It was only after a veteran police officer from Falkner's department saw that their fighting style was the same as that of some of the members of Team Plasma two years ago that the police realized that these people might be the remnants of Team Plasma who had been silent for a long time and finally started their activities again."

"The Team Plasma remnants are wanted by the Unova League in the Unova region."

Koga added from the side.

"Uh-huh." Will nodded.

However, Will immediately revealed a complicated expression and said, "That being said, the Unova region is currently in a state of flames because of that legend."

"Legend?"

"Uh-huh."

"No need to say that. I know the legend." Lance interrupted Will's attempt to explain the legend to him with a wave of his hand.

"Know?"

Will stared blankly, then revealed an expression of realization.

Indeed, the "Legend of the Two Dragons" that was so popular in the Unova region was based on the first-level Legendary Pokémon with the dragon attributes of Zekrom and Reshiram.

Lance, as the Dragon type Champion and King of Kings, was rightfully interested in these two first-level Legendary Pokémon.

"Legendary."

At this time, Lance, who had his chin in his hands, revealed a mocking smile.

Will was right.

Because of the relationship between Zekrom and Reshiram, Lance had been watching Team Plasma from the shadows for a long time.

Because of his power and position, Lance's knowledge of Team Plasma has surpassed that of the International Police and the Unova League.

Lance knew that Team Plasma was divided into two factions, and also knew that the organization had two leaders.

Ghetsis, an ambitious man who lives behind the scenes.

N, the naive idealist who controls Zekrom.

"Hmph."

Thinking of these two leaders of Team Plasma, Lance's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

"If I remember correctly, when Team Plasma acted in the past, it was always under the guise of liberating Pokémon?"

"Uh-huh."

Will looked helpless, said: "Completely illogical, the key is that there are really people who believe in their nonsense, two years ago, the Unova region even erupted in a wave of freeing Pokémon under the effect of that crooked reasoning of Team Plasma."

"Using a Poké ball is like committing a crime in those people's eyes."

"Hmph, that's just a grand excuse." Lance sighed as if he remembered something, and said, "A real doer wouldn't act under such a shitty pretense."

Will stopped talking.

He knew that his colleague was once a rebellious teenager who was willing to fight against the whole world.

The Kanto Elite Four were ruthless.

To them, villains like Ghetsis were just clowns.

"I'll continue... uh-huh." Clearing his throat, Will spoke the results of the discussion between the International Police and the Unova League, saying: "Team Plasma is too much of a threat in the Unova region, so the police and the Unova League have decided to put more effort into searching for information and hiding places of the remnants of the Team Plasma gang, in an effort to put a stop to their plans, before these guys can make any dangerous moves. They're trying to kill their plans in the cradle before they can make any big moves."

"Uh-huh."

Lance didn't have a problem with this decision.

Although he didn't think much of Team Plasma, there was no doubt about the danger of this organization.

While other dark organizations were overtly bad, Team Plasma had incited the masses to help them under a grand banner.

Furthermore, one of the leaders of this organization actually awakened the First-level Legendary Pokémon two years ago and defeated the champion of the Unova League, Alder.

The influence and power of the two are not to be ignored.

"We can't confirm whether Team Plasma is going to realize their ambition by fantasizing about the legendary Unova's founding dragon again."

"Are there any results of the investigation?"

"Unfortunately."

Will sighed and said, "Two years ago, after Ghetsis's plan failed, Alder had personally taken charge of his escort."

"However, even so, when Team Plasma's ninja group, the 'Shadow Triad' had forcefully rescued Ghetsis in front of Alder."

"After that, Ghetsis went into hiding, and the Unova League never heard anything about him again."

"'Shadow Triad'?" Koga looked up at that moment and said, "You mean that trio of ninjas?"

"Uh, you're interested?"

"Heh~ I don't have any interest in loser ninjas who need to group up." In the face of Will that surprised look, Koga coldly laughed, said: "Ninja is to do common people do not tolerate things, suffer common people do not tolerate the pain, because of the strength is not good and chose the three together, release ninjutsu of the guy, how can I put in the eyes, they are not as good as my daughter, at least, that little girl also know, in addition to their own one-handed cultivation of Pokémon, as a ninja not I should not rely on my so-called teammates."

Even through their masks, Will and Lance could see that Koga's expression was terrible - they wanted to spit out the fact that our Johto Elite Four and the Champion were teammates.

They want to say that we, the Johto Elite Four, are teammates with the Champion, but we're not friends.

Koga had a strong ill will towards the 'Shadow Triad', who were both ninjas but had taken different paths.

"Don't worry, Koga."

Lance laughed.

"According to the danger of waiting for Team Plasma, when it comes to the general attack, the Unova League will definitely choose to seek the help of the international police and search officers, at that time, I'll go there with you and give you a chance to deal with the 'Shadow Triad' personally."

"Okay!"

Koga, who was wearing a bad face, was happy when he heard Lance's words.

The two of them smiled brightly and arranged the ending of 'Shadow Triad' in a chorus.

Will was speechless.

"Although, there is not much information about Ghetsis, but in the meantime, the international police are focusing on another person."

"N?"

"Yes."

Will took out a brown paper bag, said: "Although that young man has the ability to talk to Pokémon, and with this ability, he has escaped the international police many times, however, as a human, he can not leave the city, and the city is our territory."

"So the Interpol still has some idea of N's whereabouts."

Will took a picture out of the bag and placed it on Lance's desk.

"This is a photo taken by an Interpol officer of N meeting with a trainer."

"Oh?"

Lance was interested.

However, after seeing the face of the trainer N was talking to in the photo, his expression immediately became complicated.

"Aisha?"

"Yes."

Will pushed his mask.

The photo on the desk was a picture of Aisha and N talking to each other that night.

"Uh..."

Lance didn't know what to say.

He didn't doubt Aisha's character and vision, and he didn't think that boy was a bad person either.

In fact, N wasn't purely evil in Lance's eyes.

After all, N was just like him.

Lance just wondered, what was the relationship between Aisha and N?

When did they get together?

What was the purpose of bringing the two together, both masters of the First-level Legendary Pokémon?

"That's right."

After thinking for a moment, Lance revealed a smile.

He had figured it out.

He realized the reason why Aisha and N came together.

The young man who stood up to save the Hoenn region must have gone to the Unova region this time to get rid of Ghetsis and the other Team Plasma remnants.

That's...

Aisha.

"What's wrong?" Will wondered.

"I don't doubt that there's nothing wrong with Aisha."

Lance first made his position clear, and then, speaking his thoughts, he said, "If it was just the remnants of Team Plasma who usually resisted, the Unova Champion alone would be able to wipe them all out."

"However, nowadays, Alder is depressed... there's also the question of how strong Team Plasma is."

"Right." Will agreed with Lance.

Who knew if Team Plasma would force a First-level Legendary Pokémon out.

They'd done it once before.

"We can't intervene in the Unova region, even as a search officer I need to listen to the official command, I can't overstep my role, always pay attention to the situation over there." Lance hugged his arm, said: "So that means we need a free, strength is also extremely powerful free trainer, help us deal with things over there."

"What do you mean..."

Will frowned.

Lance's words had come to this point, of course he knew who the powerful trainer Lance was talking about was.

"He can."

As if he could see Will's skepticism, Lance expressed his trust in Aisha in a loud voice, saying, "Absolutely, he can!"

"So... what we need to do is to prepare something good in advance, as a reward for his completed mission."

Since, Aisha chose to do the right thing.

Then, Lance couldn't possibly chill Aisha's heart.

"Will, did you get a batch of high quality Psychic type Pokémon secret treasures?"

"Uh, why?"

"It's mine now."

"Huh?"

Will was shocked.

...

Aisha stood inside the Icirrus City Airport, looking at the map presented to him by his Rotom phone with a thoughtful expression.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

At that moment, a lively voice entered his ears.

A young girl wearing a light blue and dark blue cool flight suit, with her beautiful red hair tied up in an oval ball by a light blue flower headdress poked her head out from the side, gripping the railing, and said, "The plane is already at its limit when it reaches Icirrus City."

"If Instructor Ai wants to go to Eindoak Town, he'll have to find his own way for the rest of the way."

"It's okay."

Aisha smiled in response to her Skyla.

"Thanks for the ride, Miss Skyla."

"No... it's okay..."

Skyla smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Instructor Ai is Shirley's friend, and Shirley's friends are my friends too... usually I like to fly around as well, so giving Instructor Ai a ride is no problem at all!"

"Uh-huh."

Aisha nodded.

Shirley is Skyla's nickname for Elesa.

It's true, one more friend is one more way.

Skyla's character is also very suitable to be a friend.

"Oooh!"

As they walked out of the airport together, Skyla shivered at the cold air that hit her.

"Icirrus City, it really snows all year round."

Raising her hand and catching a piece of snow falling from the sky, Skyla also sighed at the snowy scenery of Icirrus City, saying, "It's really beautiful when it's all white."

"Indeed."

Aisha agreed with Skyla's words.

However, he turned his head and looked at her again - as the Gym Leader of Mistralton City, she was not only powerful, but she also looked absolutely beautiful.

Her skin wasn't as fair as Elesa's, but it was a healthy wheat color, full of vitality; her body was also extremely well toned from years of flying, slim but not too voluptuous - at least in terms of size, Skyla was far superior to Elesa as a model.

The problem was, Skyla wasn't exactly warm in this outfit.

"You're not cold?"

"Yeah, I'm sure I'm a little cold." Skyla hugged her arms a little, and revealed an innocent smile, saying, "But, the cold is nothing for a pilot, and I won't be here for long, so there's no need to arrange for thick clothes."

"I see..."

Aisha looked away.

Skyla also noticed his line of sight, and pointed to a snow-surrounded town over there, saying, "That should be Instructor Ai's destination, Eindoak Town."

"Right."

Aisha looked at the town over there with an interested expression.

His destination was the tower at the end of the town.

The tower that looked like the tip of a sword was Eindoak Town.

However, Aisha knew that the shape of Eindoak Town was really a sword, and that more than half of it had disappeared into the mountain below.

Reshiram's Light Stone was hidden at the bottom of Eindoak Town.

"Eindoak Town is blessed with rich soil due to the Dragon's Vein, and even though the surrounding area is freezing, the city is surrounded by fertile soil and vegetation, and rivers that don't freeze."

"That's amazing."

Skyla was amazed.

She was a half-traveler who had a passion for flying, and she was naturally excited when she encountered special landscapes.

"Well..."

"I would welcome Miss Skyla's company."

Seeing Skyla's hesitation, Instructor Ai, who had been helped by someone else, took the initiative to invite her to go with him.

"If that's the case, I'd be happy to oblige~"

Skyla smiled brightly.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Let's go, Eindoak Town!"
