Chapter 34

Everyone vigilantly looked around as they took out their pokeballs ready to release their pokemon.

As they waited for the person or pokemon, two men came out of the place where Lucario and Ampharos were staring.

When they saw the two pokemon and that Ralya and the other were ready to release their pokemon.

"W-wait we're not an enemy! We came in peace!"

The stout man raised his arm showing that he was hostile to the group. The man following him also raised his arms.

"Who are you guys?" Meyer asked as he went in front, guarding in front of the group.

"W-we were from the Mirage Kingdom. I am Mura and this is my guardian and the general of our kingdom, Sir Narker" The stout man answered. He looked at Ralya with shock as he knew who Ralya was.

"From the Mirage Kingdom?" Meyer asked as he didn't know about the kingdom the two were talking about.

"It was a small country near Hoenn's northern part" Ralya answered

"Then what are you two doing here? As you two are someone with a rank of a general and a person related to the royal family. I just can't think what you two were doing near here." Ralya added interrogating the two

"W-we were looking for one of our guardian pokemon." Mura answered

"Guardian Pokemon!!?" Ralya was shocked as she knew what level the guardian pokemon of the mirage kingdom. And in the meeting of the alliance they got news of the kingdom having an additional guardian. If the kingdom didn't have any strong guardian pokemon they would have been swallowed by Hoenn. But the guardian pokemon of the kingdom was at the middle level Epic rank pokemon.

"If you're searching for your guardian pokemon why are you guys here?" Ralya asked as she was curious as to why two people with a high standing in the mirage kingdom was searching for their guardian pokemon here in Hoenn.

"Our guardia-"

"Sir!"

Mura was about to answer Ralya's question when Narker stopped him.

"This is a private matter of the mirage kingdom and outsiders shouldn't stick noses" Harker answered as he condensingly look at Ralya and the others.

"You're right" Mura sighed feeling down as he couldn't think right due to pressure as his father asked him to search for their guardian pokemon. He was also downcasted as he, Narker, and his father knew that their guardian pokemon was pregnant before it left.

While Mura was still thinking about their guardian pokemon, a Gengar showed up from his shadow preparing some attack towards Mura. Narken who saw this smirked.

Whooosh~

A dragon pulse attacked the Gengar, throwing it out of the shadow. Aside for Shella, everyone was shocked.

"Geng!" It shouted in pain but Lucario rushed up towards Gengar as its claws shone a metallic gleam.

"STOP!"

Mirage Kingdom

"Uhhh" Ed woke up, seeing an unfamiliar ceiling Ed was confused, he moved his body but he felt pain in his neck. He remembered that a guard hit his neck to make him unconscious.

'Those damn bastards it freaking hurts. They don't even show mercy to a child'

Ed massaged his neck as he sat up and he saw his cousin in front of him and he saw that they're in jail. Ed stood up and walked towards his cousin and he saw Seibold's face scowling.

'Why did this happen again?' Ed sighed as he just want to experience something new such as rescuing his cousins, a trill of being a hero and rescuer but now he became a captive waiting for rescue. Even though it was a new experience, it doesn't sit well for him.

'Well isn't this what I wanted if I reincarnate, experiencing trilling stuff and not so boring stuff'

As he was musing of his situation. He saw three guards and of course with the arrogant teen leading in front. Ed and Seibold stared at him without saying anything.

"Hmph, be honored you lowly peasants as I the great captain Hansen would be interrogating you" Hansen said as he proudly introduced himself .

The big brat continued talking straight for 5 minutes. His talk only revolve about his greatness and threatening them.

"You're a captain? Is the present society really degrading to make you a captain? Or just because you are just riding the benefit of your parents' achievement." Seibold unable to keep up with the noise said to Hansen as he looked at Hansen with disgust.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!? I WANT YOU TO REPEAT IT YOU PEASANT! TAKE HIM OUT!" Hansen roared as he demanded Seibold to take Seibold out.

"Haa, this is boring" Ed interrupted. He remembered the novels he read about those arrogant people with power. Ed could bet that he could predict what Hansen would say.

"You–!" Hansen was burning in anger as it was that someone was looking down at him. Worst is that they're younger than him.

"Hey, can we get out now?" Ed asked impatiently as he was uncomfortable being far with Ralts. Added that the system is giving him warning sign about the secret of mirage kingdom.

"Ha? Did you think-" Hansen scoffed but he was interrupted by the next action.

"Falco, let us out of here"

Ed called out Argus' Talonflame.

"Fiarrow!" Falco screeched as he opened his wings.

"Falco, Steel Wing cut this bars"

Hearing Ed's order, Falco's wing shone and slashed them to the bars.

"Ting~"

The bars fell to the ground while Harsen and the guards were shocked as these bars were reinforced bars that were strong enough to block an Elite rank pokemon.

"I'm sorry but I'm in a hurry that I don't have time to squabble with you." Ed said while Seibold was surprised as it was the first time he saw his cousin's cold expression. Ed was about to open the door out of the prison when he turned his back.

"Oh right you guys could help me as I need to know something."

Ed smiled as he looked at Hansen and the others. Hansen rose as he was prepared to threaten Ed when the door behind Ed opened.

"Please Stop"

Mura shouted even though he was trembling; he bravely stood between Lucario and Gengar.

"What's the meaning of this?Is that your pokemon" Ralya asked as she coldly looked at Mura.

"H-huh? N-No this Gengar was not my pokemon but Sir Narker." Mura explained while he turned to Narker. But only to find Narken petrified.

'Impossible! Gengar was my strongest pokemon but that pokemon beat it like my Gengar was nothing but a practice dummy.' Narken felt a chill in his back as he could also see that Gengar was afraid of the Ampharos glaring at Gengar.

He wanted to become the new king of the Mirage kingdom but he was only a relative of the royal family. For him to become king he needed to kill Mura and to have a Togepi with high aptitude.

He couldn't scheme or do something on Mura within the Mirage Kingdom as Mura has a strong pokemon within him.

When he saw Ralya and the others, his eyes shone as he could use this opportunity to blame these peasants for Mura's death but he still failed.

As for the Togepi egg he couldn't find any Togepi within the kingdom aside for the child given birth by their guardian pokemon.

He could use Gengar to assassinate Mura but he needed to get his hand on a Togepi and Togepi egg their guardian pokemon laid as a reference he asked Gengar to search for one. Also with his connections within Hoenn he found out about a pokemon egg with the same design as the egg laid by their guardian pokemon.

"L-ladies, I think there is a misunderstanding here. Is there something wrong with my Gengar?" Narker asked as his mind was in chaos on how to resolve the problem. Trying to save himself and couldn't help but gnashed his teeth and curse Gengar under his breath.

He was planning on killing Mura and the outsider here but it all crumbled when Lucario beat his Gengar and the latter was afraid to fight back.

"That Gengar kidnapped my child!" Ralya snarled

"What!?" Mura was shocked as to why Gengar would kidnap a child. He frowned as he looked at Narker waiting for his explanations.

Narker looked at his Gengar as the purple pokemon pointed towards Cynthia, especially the pokemon egg the little girl was holding.

Narker's eyes widen as the little girl's egg has the same pattern as that of the pokemon egg of their guardian pokemon.

'That Egg!'

Nerker was confused, if Gengar wanted to take the egg it could just steal the egg without kidnapping the child. But he dismissed this question as he focused on how to get the egg.

"You! Why do you have that egg!" Narker demanded not answering the questions of the others. He took out a small device and pressed the button on it.

"Narker, what are you talking about?" Mura asked, confused , on how Narker has been behaving differently since they traveled.

"Ha! You're a lucky idiot Mura! That pokemon egg could be the descendant of our guardian pokemon!"

"Really? That's great!" Mura's eyes shone as he looked at Cynthia. Mura opened his mouth to say something but everyone suddenly felt a sharp pain in their ears.

Narker who was prepared walked towards Cynthia and took the pokemon egg. Unlike Mura who was connected to the alliance, Narker has connection to the underground teams and one of those were from the secret branch of team Rocket here in Hoenn. But there is always a big cost to pay and he could only pay it with a strong leveled pokemon.

Geng~

Gengar, who was also writhing in pain, called weakly to his trainer. But Narker didn't felt any pity on it as he only treat it as a tool.

"Useless." Narker scoffed as he activated the teleportation device, which is the giant rock Ed and Seibold accidentally activated.

"You guys could take them" He talk to the air before the light engulfed him.

~Whoosh~

When the light surrounding him receded he saw two kids in front of him with a Red Bird beside them.

"Oh? Someone arrived?" Ed exclaimed as he smiled at Narker.
