The group consist of five Pokemon: A green bandana-wearing Sceptile, a Grovyle that wears a black cape, a Milotic, a cyclops-like creature with a red pupil and a yellow bouquet on the side of her head (Dusknoir), and a bipedal chicken-like creature with mostly a reddish yellow colored body and a red, black marble-like stone being on his right wrist like a watch (Blaziken). The Sceptile also has a marble-like stone much like the Blazikens' on his neck as a necklace, the color of it being mostly lime. The Sceptile seems to be carrying a green bag as well while the gang all blink curiously at him and the five Pokemon, tilting their heads in confusion.
"Why yes, Ebony. That's totally going on my crazy list." The Dusknoir says, giggling softly to herself. Ebony, the black cape Grovyle, raises her brow at the Dusknoir.
"Thought you already listed that before." Ebony folds her arms, taking her eyes back to the group.
"But a Pokemon being crazy while talking to the sky? That's a new one compared to a Pokemon being crazy while talking to the ground."
"Riiight..." Ebony sweatdrops.
"Um excuse me but...who might you guys be?" Iris asks cautiously. Trent looks at the five Pokemon, noticing that they're staring at him before he turns to the side.
Ah shit... Trent thinks, scratching the back of his head.
"Well I'm happy that you asked, ma'am." The Sceptile says before taking out his Caller from the bag, revealing it towards Iris and the others. He press a yellow button that wasn't present on a Caller before, it revealing an hologram of the words 'Savior Unit'. "The name's Mystery. The Grovyle is Ebony, the Milotic is Helena, the Dusknoir is Gonel and the Blaziken is Leon. We're a part of a special team known as the Savior Unit, working for the Official Protection government."
"WHAT!?" The gang all say in surprise, Lucas trembling a bit.
"Y-You guys w-work for the O-O.P. government?" Lucas asks in a shaky tone.
"Of course. My brother just mentioned that a second ago." The female Grovyle answers in a critical manner, folding her arms as if she's disappointed. "As much as we'd love to explain more about ourselves, we've got more concerning matters to focus on."
"Like what?" Iris questions, raising her brow. Mystery returns the Caller into his bag, the hologram fading away as Ebony points at Trent.
"Like arresting that criminal over there." Trent looks at the Savior Units, chuckling nervously and sweatdropping.
"H-Hi..." The Lucario says, waving shyly at them.
"Why hello to you too, darling." Gonel replies, crossing her arms together. "Been a naughty boy after escaping us, haven't you?" Everyone looks at the Dusknoir, raising their brows and sweatdropping uncomfortably.
"Oookay then." Iris speaks, taking her focus onto Mystery. "Why are you tracking him down?"
"Well you see--"
"For starters, he's a criminal. As I stated earlier." Ebony explains abruptly, interrupting the Sceptile. The bandana Sceptile looks at Ebony and chuckles softly, putting his hand onto her head.
"Right sis, he is indeed a criminal. A highly dangerous one, to be exact." Mystery then looks at Iris and the others, mostly focusing his attention on the Lucario. "This Lucario has committed a numerous amounts of crimes for several years. Those crimes include stealing, impersonating and even taking another Pokemon's life. Rather by killing them because he wants to or..." Mystery squints his eyes at Trent. "Killing them because of cannibalism. In which that is the ultimate forbidden thing to do alongside murdering another." Iris widens her eyes along with the others, all taking their attention towards Trent. Sheer raises his brow, forming an disturbing expression on his face.
"I didn't know that you eat other Pokemon!" Sheer says, feeling rather shocked.
Trent shrugs awkwardly. "Meat Product taste like garbage to me, okay!?" He exclaims, whimpering.
Iris looks to the side with an guilty look on her face, sweatdropping. "Well he's not lying about that..." She says to herself. The Savior Units look at her with raised brow, leading her to shake her head and paws immediately. "I-I mean, I'll still eat them though. Just that I personally don't like them, that's all. Not like I'll eat another Pokemon because of such, hehe..." She laughs nervously, scratching the back of her head as the Units stare sternly at her. "I'll just shut up now."
"Annnyway...we've been tracking this guy down ever since then." Mystery says, him and the Units taking their attention on Trent. Trent gulps and looks at Sheer, wincing uncomfortably.
"Sheer, I thought you jammed the tracking device on my back so that these guys wouldn't appear!" Trent yells, yelping in displeasure.
Sheer goes to immediately look all over the Lucario's back in a panicky pace. "B-But I did! I swear on Arceus himself that I did jam it!" Sheer answers before stopping to see the very, very small device blinking red on Trent's back. "Wait, wh-what!?"
Ebony smirks. "Seems like you didn't jam it enough if we could still see you on our radar, genius." The Grovyle states, her brother taking out the Caller again to reveal a grid-like map visible on its screen. It shows the radar flickering a red dot quickly, meaning they're close to their target.
Anna blinks in surprise. "What the? A Caller can do that!?" The Ninetales says shockingly.
"That's so cool!" Mark yells, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Yeah!" Natalie follows along, wagging her tail happily to the amazement.
The others begin to agree as well while Iris groans uncomfortably. I really wish Lucas didn't threw mine away now... The Dragonite thinks.
Ebony shrugs awkwardly as Mystery puts the Caller back into the bag. "Yes, but only the Pokemon working for the Official Protection can acquire these special kinds of Callers." She states in a bluntly manner, leading the gang to feel down.
"Well so much for me wanting to track down Exo's movement for fun now." Mat says playfully.
"Wait, hey! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY 'FOR FUN'!?" Exo shouts, sweatdropping as Mat chuckles softly.
Iris then interrupts the two with a question. "Say, about that tracking device, I didn't see it anywhere on Trent's back at all when I first met him." She says, creating a good point.
"Well that's because Gonel managed to use one of her gadgets she created, the tracking device, to throw it onto his back during our last encounter with him." Helena explains in a soft, serene tone.
Gonel raises her hand in delight. "Indeed! I crafted that baby up so small to the point where it'll be hard to spot even on a Joltik!" Gonel elaborates joyfully. "However, it's not my only gadget I created." She suddenly forces her hand through her ghostly body and grabs a brown slingshot object. "I also craft Weapon Mischiefs such as this slingshot here and," She uses her other hand to dig something else out of her body, having an black shotgun in that hand. "This painfully to make son of a gun right here. Ha, gun. Pun totally not intended."
Iris and the others raise their brows at Gonel, Zeke blinking into curiosity. "Did she just grab those things from her body...?" He asks, looking rather confused.
Helena, Leon and Mystery sweatdrop at the Dusknoir as Ebony puts her hand against her face, shaking her head. "Oh boy, here we go with her rambling about her creations again..." Ebony says, sighing heavily.
Gonel then returns both of the Weapon Mischiefs back into her body, trying to grab something else. "There's also this bomb-like object that I'm in the middle of developing right now." Gonel giggles before taking out a notepad and a quill that has ink at the tip. "Whoops. Wrong thing to grab...then again, I do need to write down this situation on the 'Crazy Things Pokemon Do' list." The Dusknoir goes to write on her notepad. "Guy talking to the sky..." She talks to herself as she writes, the others sweatdropping at her.
Man she's weird... Ebony thinks, sighing once more. "Anyway, we struggled to find him ever since our last encounter, because the device wanted to cut on and off at random. You can thank those two for toying around with it." She then glances at Trent and Sheer as the Dusknoir finishes writing.
"I...see." Iris responds, nodding slowly.
After that, Trent looks up in the sky to see a quadruped, draconic creature with large red wings, red markings on his throat and on the underside of his long tail, and has mostly a blue body: Salamence. The Salamence also seems to have a marble-like stone strapped onto his forehead with a brown belt as he flaps his wings, looking to be forming flames around his mouth. Trent smirks deviously, sighing in relief afterwards. "Thank goodness my ride is here." He says calmly.
"Your what?" Ebony asks before the Salamence opens his mouth and uses Fire Blast on the group, the star shaped fire aiming between the gang and Trent. Trent grabs Sheer and backs away from the attack as it lands onto the ground, causing Iris and the others to yelp from it. They jump back from the flames, causing the Savior Unit to become alert. "Okay, WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!?"
Helena looks up to the sky, seeing the Salamence floating down towards Trent. "It must've come from that Salamence. It's heading towards our target." Helena answers, fixated by the flames separating the group from Trent and Sheer. "Seems like it used Fire Blast to separate us from the two." Helena shakes her head while closing her eyes. "Luckily for us and not for them: I'm a Water type. So I'll go ahead and put out the flames."
"Good idea." Mystery confirms, seeing the Milotic slither off towards the flames as he and the other Units follow.
Behind the flames, Trent sighs in relief and gives the Salamence a thumbs up. "Thanks for stopping by right on time. For a second there, I thought I was a goner when the Units arrived." The Lucario speaks, chuckling nervously. The Salamence nods firmly at him, giving him a stern look before taking his attention towards Sheer, who's looking quite anxious now.
"Trent, now's my chance to receive my part of the deal!" Sheer explains eagerly, floating close to the two Pokemon. "Let me join you on the Salamence too, please!"
Trent puts his paw against his chin, thinking for a moment. "Hmm..." He notices that the flames are beginning to wear down due to Helena spewing water on it, leading the large barbed Cloyster to fret.
"HURRY, TRENT! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!"
"Alright, alright. Just give me a second." Trent goes to whisper to the Salamence, the Salamence leaning the side of his head towards him. Then the Salamence mutters back into the Lucario's ear, looking at Sheer during so.
"WELL? WELL!?"
"Hmm..." Trent shakes his head as he hops onto the Salamence's back. "Sorry, Sheer. Lumani and my pal Skyrider here have been observing you from the Land of Wishes and they agreed that you're not worthy for your wish."
"WHAT!? WHY!?" Sheer's eyes widen in terror from the news, the flames behind him fading more and more.
"He's seen how aggressive and ruthless you are on wanting to achieve your goal. He thinks it'll end up backfiring not only on him but also his entire land as well. Basically saying, you'll bring destruction to his land due to your wish being too...risky, to be honest with ya." Sheer stands there, looking at the ground and becoming completely broken. As if everything around him begins to shatter into pieces as the Salamence, Skyrider, begins to flap his wings. "His decision, dude. Not mine." Trent then grins at him. "It was nice working with you, Sheer. But like you said before: You can't always trust everyone, hmm?" Sheer slowly looks up at the Lucario, a grim look forming across his face as the Lucario salutes him. "Cya later, Feraligatr."
Then the Salamence takes off flying as Sheer bursts out screaming, yelling from the top of his lungs. "CURSE YOU, TRENT!!! YOU'LL PAY ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE!!!" Sheer shouts, tears constantly streaming down from his face as Helena fully puts out the flames. "ALL OF YOU WILL PAAAY!!!" Sheer turns around and attempts to attack one of the Units with his spear before the Blaziken kicks the spear away, having it slide across the ground. Soon Gonel gets behind the large barbed Cloyster, wrapping her arms around him and trapping him. Sheer struggles to get out of the Dusknoir's grasp, grunting in the process. "UNHAND ME THIS INSTANT!"
"I don't think so, cray cray." Gonel responds in a teasing tone, giggling afterwards. Mystery notices Trent flying away on his Salamence in the distance, taking out his Caller and sees the rader still going.
"No worries, we'll track him down immediately and--"
"Annnd the radar stops beeping. We lost track of him." Ebony points out, interrupting the Sceptile. Mystery looks at his Caller and notices the red dot no longer present on the grid graph, sighing heavily.
"Maybe next time...Whenever we encounter him again." Mystery says, shaking his head before putting his Caller back into the bag.
"About time that 'highly dangerous criminal' takes that thing off from his back and breaks it. I'm surprised that he didn't get himself killed by a Magikarp with the way he tried to cover up his crimes. Seriously, why is this guy dangerous again?" Ebony puts her hand out while showing a 'Really?' look on her face.
Mystery shrugs at the Grovyle before taking his attention towards the others. "Well, we may have lost our chance at catching Trent but..." He pauses for a moment to look at Sheer, eyeing him. "At least we caught someone who tried to help that criminal escape. An accomplice, to be exact." Sheer glares at the Sceptile angrily before eyeing at the gang.
"I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for them..." Sheer says quietly to himself.
"Oooh he did more than just try to help that evil doer out!" Exo joins in the conversation in a dramatic manner. Mystery and the other Units look at Exo curiously.
"Oh? Such as?" Mystery asks. Exo goes to explain to the Savior Units about the madness Sheer had caused, the Sceptile nodding firmly. "I see. This Cloyster was capable of doing all of that, huh? And even used his Mythical Power as an advantage to let this kingdom be unstable." Mystery walks towards the large barbed Cloyster, eyeing at him. "You sir had dug yourself some deep holes. In other words, you're under arrest. And you have every right to remain silent as anything from this point on will be held against you." Sheer rolls his eyes before everyone hears Brook whimpering, taking their attention towards him and the other six Pokemon.
"Norah, please stay alive!" Brook yells, weeping in sorrow as he holds the female Cloyster close to him. Mat widens his eyes before dashing to the seven, everyone else following along.
"Please m-mother, h-hang in there!" Azure cries out, nudging against her mother's shell.
"I...I can't..." Norah says weakly, shutting her eyes slightly. Mat gets closer to her, gritting his teeth in anxiety.
"Don't say that, Norah. Just stay strong and fight this, okay? You'll make it." Mat replies, a tear beginning to slide down from his face. Sheer glances at Mat, shaking his head.
"See how it feels to lose your happiness, you fool..." Sheer speaks in a menacing tone. Mat looks at him, glaring menacingly himself before Norah catches his attention by coughing.
"D-Don't listen t-to him, Mat...You can find happiness in anything besides just your loved ones." The female Cloyster says, whimpering in pain. "I remember all the good times we had together...The fun and amazing moments. And even if we encounter negative moments such as these, we still pulled through with it. Together..."
Mat forms more tears as he shakes his head. "You'll be fine, Norah! Please!" He says before Natalie whimpers, immediately dashing away from Iris and Claire.
"Oh no way am I letting this lady die!" Natalie says, reaching towards the female Cloyster's location. She has her paws forming red outlines around them again, putting them onto the Cloyster's body. As she attempts to heal her, she notices that her body isn't forming the red outline unlike the others she had healed. Meaning, she's not healing her. "Hmm!?" The Zorua becomes confused before attempting to heal her once more. "I-I can't heal her!"
"What!? Why's that!?" Anna questions, concern filling throughout her mind. Natalie shakes her head in response.
"I-I don't know..." The Zorua whines, trying her best to heal her but continuing to not see the red outline on Norah. Claire walks towards Natalie, putting her paw on her back and shaking her head.
"Her time is already up, mistress." Claire speaks in a sorrow tone. "It is too late for her..."
Natalie and Mat look at the Shinx, both forming horror on their faces as Natalie continues the healing process. "N-NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT! I CAN SAVE HER! I KNOW THAT I CAN!" Natalie shouts, tears streaming down. "PLEASE STAY ALIVE, NORAH!"
As the group all continue to stare at the situation going on, the Pokemon egg within Anna's possession begins to move. "Hmm?" Anna wonders, looking down at the egg. Norah weakly looks at the egg as well, seeing it crack slightly before glowing white. Everyone looks at the egg shining brightly and gazes at it in awe. "Whoa..." Anna says to herself, blinking in surprise.
Soon the egg hatches and stops glowing, revealing an amphibious quadruped creature with a blue body, light-blue underside, a blue fin on top of his head and a light-blue tail: Mudkip. The Mudkip blinks adorably, staring at everyone that's currently gazing at his attention. "Wow...I've never seen a newborn being hatched in my life until now..." Iris says, staring at it in shock.
"Same here..." Natalie replies to the Dragonite's comment, her and the others feeling amazed by the sight of the newborn Pokemon.
Norah gazes at the Mudkip and smiles weakly yet warmly. "Wh-What a relief...After everything I had to endure in this kingdom, I at least get to witnessed a newborn at the end...It warms my heart..." Norah speaks before coughing up more blood, gasping heavily. Mat grits his teeth worriedly.
"Norah!" The male Cloyster yells, more tears beginning to slide down his face. Norah looks at Mat and smiles warmly.
"You're so much better than my husband, Mat...Who left me after Azure was born...You supported me during that dreadful time...and I felt so many warmths because of it."
"Norah!!!" Mat leans his face close to Norah's, whimpering in sorrows. "Please don't..."
"Mat...Take care of my father and daughter. For my goodness sake, please...I wished I could've said these phrases before this happened...Mat, I--" Norah pauses for a moment to lean her face against Mats', pressing her lips against his gently. Mat's eyes widen as the tears continues its waterfall stream of depression. Norah closes her eyes during the gentle kiss, a single tear sliding down across her face. She pulls back from the kiss and sighs. "I love you...From the bottom of my heart, I truly...do..." Then the female Cloyster lies down on her back, no longer gasping for air nor breathing. Her body remains completely still as she forms a smile on her face, becoming nothing else but a mere corpse of someone dearly. Mat stands there, his eyes widening in petrification.
"NORAH!!!"
This leads Natalie to attempt to heal her once more, tears streaming down her face as sadness spreads across everyone. Even the folks at Cloy Town become depressed by what they're witnessing. "NO! I CAN REVIVE HER! I CAN DO THAT, RIGHT!?" Natalie yells, taking her attention towards Claire. "R-RIGHT!?"
"Mistress..." Claire pauses before patting the Zorua on her back. "Your powers can only heal your allies...not revive them." The Shinx then looks at the dead Cloyster, seeing Azure, Brook and Mat weeping in sorrow. "I'm sorry..." Soon Natalie begins to burst into tears, the red outline on her paws fading at the same time.
Iris grits her teeth and punches the ground, shaking her head. "Dammit!" She yells loud enough for the others to hear.
"Mommy!!!" The Shellder cries, weeping onto Brook's outer shell. The Mudkip looks at the situation going on before feeling uncomfortable and whining himself, tears streaming down immediately from his eyes. Mystery and the other Units just look down at the ground, shaking their heads. While this happens, Ashen begins to wake up from his knocked out state, groaning uncomfortably as he rubs the back of his head.
"What...happened?" Ashen asks before seeing Anna looking down. "Hmm? What's wrong with you?" He then notices the Mudkip and yelps. "H-Huh!? Where did this Mudkip come from and..." He looks around and sees everyone except for Sheer feeling down, scratching the side of his head. "Oh..."
"Ashen...A bunch of things happened while you were unconscious..." Anna answers, sniffling afterwards. "A bunch..."
. . .
"Your highness, you're WHAT!?" Exo shouts, looking down at the king.
"Yes. I'm turning myself in for the chaos I've brought upon this kingdom." Cocoon says in a firm tone, loud enough for the folks in Ster Town to hear it. "So I'm hereby resigning from being king of the Cloyster Kingdom." This surprises everyone in the town, leading to them conversing about the situation.
"But sir, you can't do this! We need your ruling in order for the kingdom to continue functioning!"
Cocoon looks up at Exo, sighing heavily. "Exo, it's my fault this kingdom was treated unfairly. From the rules to the favoritism. It was wrong of me to do such a thing because of the influences I received from Sheer. Not only that but my grief over Brisk's death was the main reason why I failed to treat this kingdom the way it was supposed to be treated." Cocoon then takes his eyes onto Iris and her crew, who are standing next to each other at the moment. He sees Anna having the Mudkip on her back as he continues speaking. "If it weren't for these nine entering my kingdom, I would've continued the kingdom the way it is, and Sheer would've further filled my head with his lies. I thank them truly for preventing the kingdom from becoming worse."
"No problem, mate." Lucas says calmly.
Cocoon then shakes his head. "But despite that, I doubt that'll give this kingdom some justice unless I was off the throne...In my eyes, this kingdom would never forgive me because of the damaged I've done to it over my emotions..."
"Sir..." Exo replies calmly before whimpering. Mystery walks towards Exo and Cocoon, having a concerned look on his face.
"Now Cocoon, correct? Are you certain about this decision? Because there's a chance that you may not see the light of day from the same imprisonment Sheer is about to receive." Mystery asks in a careful manner. Cocoon nods sternly, sighing sorrowfully.
"I don't care if I do. As long as it keeps me away from harming this kingdom and anyone else ever again, I don't mind them keeping me in...whatever imprisonment the government has in store for me."
Mystery looks at Ebony and the other Units for a moment, seeing them nod firmly at him. Afterwards, he nods back and stares at Cocoon, taking him off of Exo's possession. "Alright then. I suppose that we'll be taking our leave now."
"Wait, before you go, there's something I'd like to say."
"Hmm?"
Cocoon turns his attention towards Mat, seeing him staring down at Norah's body. "I would like to have Mat be the new ruler of the Cloyster Kingdom."
"WHAT!?" Exo and everyone else in Ster Town yell in shock. The crew and Mat all look surprised at the shiny Cloyster's decision.
"You deserve it, Mat. With the amount of hard work you had to go through to become a senator, the rewards given to Sheer instead of the one who truly deserved them, and even despite all the things I've done to you and the kingdom, you still cared about me..." Cocoon sighs and looks down. "Again, I wanted to apologize for everything I've done to this kingdom...including you too, Mat. I probably didn't pay you a reasonable amount of pokedollars, huh?"
"Yeah, you sure didn't." Exo mumbles, sweatdropping. Seriously, 5 pokedollars a week is just unnecessary. Might as well work at a lower paying job with that kind of salary...
"Anyway, I can understand if you or anyone at the kingdom wouldn't forgive me. Just take this opportunity as me making it up to you." Cocoon smiles softly. "And I would give you the crown and staff right now but...they're lost within the ruined castle. Apologies for that as well." The shiny Cloyster chuckles nervously before sweatdropping. Mat looks to the side for a moment before nodding.
"Alright...I'll take this offer then. It'll be tough since my love is gone and the kingdom itself still needs to be fixed but...I'll pull through. Like I always have." Mat says firmly. Sheer rolls his eyes at him.
"You will break just like I did. You will." Sheer replies to Mat, glancing at him. Gonel shakes the large barbed Cloyster for a bit, causing him to become dizzy.
"Shush." Gonel says in a stern tone.
Soon, Iris comes into a realization. "Say Mystery, you guys came from the Zero Cave, right?" She asks curiously. The Sceptile looks at her and nods.
"Yes. Why do you ask?" He says in a peculiar manner.
"Because I was wondering if there's a town that's beyond that cave. If so, I hope that town has a salesman giving away ships."
"Well that's a two yes for you, lady: One for the town, another for the ship." Mystery smiles at the Dragonite. Iris sighs in relief.
"Thank goodness. Mind leading us there? If you Savior Units are okay with that."
"Sorry ma'am but we're not esco--"
"Certainly. We wouldn't mind guiding a few lost travelers. After all, we are the Savior Units." Mystery interrupts the Grovyle, staring at her. "Right?" Ebony looks back and folds her arms.
"Sure, whatever you say, 'boss'." The Grovyle says in a sarcastic tone.
"Anyway, we would use the Caller to teleport us to our location since we'd visit it before. But sadly, the teleportation process could only hold five Pokemon at a time." Mystery explains.
"Wait, Callers can do that? ...Or is it just exclusive to you guy's Callers?" Iris asks.
"Oh no. All Callers can have access to teleportation after visiting an new location. But again, it can only hold up to five Pokemon to pull that off."
"Ah...I see." Iris soon turns towards Mat. "Well, I guess this is farewell..."
Mat looks off to Brook and Azure being close to the female Cloyster's body, sighing heavily. "Yeah. This is farewell."
"We hope you succeed at taking care of your kingdom, Mat." Cerise says. Mat looks at the canine and nods.
"Thank you. I'll be sure to take care of this kingdom along with Norah's father and daughter. I promise." Mat then takes his attention on Cocoon. "And sir..." He lifts his spear up to salute him, having the tip of it above his head. "The folks of this kingdom may not forgive you, but I do. Despite the many things you and Sheer did to this kingdom, I know that deep down you are a good person...That was just trapped inside of an enclosed shell of his own, never to open that shell again because of an incident that happened years ago..."
Zeke widens his eyes at what Mat said. "Whoa...That's quite deep." He says in astonishment.
Cocoon gasps for a moment before tearing up. "Mat..." He says in a sorrow tone, tears beginning to drip from his face.
Soon, Iris and the crew wave their goodbyes to Mat, following the Savior Unit on the pathway that leads to the Zero Forest. Iris holds the Mudkip in her possession as she looks at the Furret. "Hey Lucas, um..." She pauses for a moment, looking off to the side. "I wanted to say that I'm..."
"Hmm?" Lucas looks up at the Dragonite curiously.
"I'm sorry for how I acted earlier." The crew looks at her after she says that, Anna sighing softly.
"Well Iris, I--"
"DO NOT ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY, MATE!" Lucas shouts, interrupting the Ninetales. "Your rude selfishness has led you down a path of neverending rage in my eyes! You treated MY work like it was some kind of trash! And then outright said we were useless to us when we took on those guards!" Iris squints her eyes at him and sweatdrops.
"Oh come on! I'm really being sorry for the way I acted! I know it was wrong and I feel foolish for doing such!"
"Nope. Not gonna forgive ya!"
"Lucas!" Then Iris and Lucas get into an argument as the others shrug uncomfortably at them. Mystery and Ebony watch the two chat and look at each other.
"Huh...This kinda reminds me of the time you and I had an argument over something I did." Mystery says, chuckling softly. Ebony sighs heavily.
"Don't remind me of that stupid moment of yours, please." The Grovyle replies, folding her arms. "That was such an embarrassment when you and I wanted the same berry, brother."
As the group continues on their path, Mat turns his attention to Zeke and hires him as a senator, leading him to be excited. He soon commands the guards in Ster Town to take Norah to the burial area and guide her family to live in his home. During all of this, he looks up at the blue sky and smiles softly, closing his eyes before thinking, It's over...It's finally over. I'll miss you dearly, Norah. But I know for a fact that I'll always cherish you within my heart...and my soul. Mat then puts his spear against himself, opening his eyes afterwards. Always...
. . .
Meanwhile at the Corruption Realm, everyone of the Supernova Gale seems to be staring at a huge display screen in front of them. The screen is being projected by Misstrike from her pure black eyes, the screen showcasing the crew and the Savior Units traveling on foot as Yuki begins to speak. "After observing these pests, this Sheer fella has been the most intriguing of them all." He says in a firm tone, being in the middle of the group. The Aegislash has his eye on the large barbed Cloyster, rubbing his ghost-like hands against each other while in his shield form. "He'll be a great addition to our organization, wouldn't you agree?"
Clemence nods. "Certainly, my lord. He's capable of putting that group in its place most of the time." She agrees. Everyone else begin to agree as well.
Alro scratches the side of his head. "Although, I am mostly curious as to how the heck Misstrike can show us this." Alro says, blinking confusedly at the Mismagius. Misstrike looks at the Malamar, sticking her tongue out playfully.
"Magic." The Mismagius answers with no problem, leading Alro to sweatdrop.
"Riiight..."
Dead Snow enters the conversation. "Back to the point, I'm convinced that the Riolu may be of interest to us now." The Glaceon says. Alro raises his brow at the Glaceon as Yuki looks at her in concern.
"And why do you say that?" Yuki asks.
"Yeah. Why would we want to be interested in that brat? Who almost killed me, no less." Alro joins in, folding his arms.
The red-wristband wearing Glaceon glances at Alro. "Well to be blunt with you: He has an MP that's...honestly as intriguing as Sheer's MP. Possibly more intriguing." She explains.
"Okay, so?"
"Look, even if you hate that Riolu, you can't deny the fact that his powers could be very useful to us."
"Errrm..." Alro takes his attention to the Aegislash. "What do you think, sir?" Yuki looks at the two and thinks for a moment.
"Come to think of it...she may have a point." Yuki confirms.
"WHAT!?" Alro shouts in surprise.
"Being able to steal another Pokemon's Mythical Power is something that'll aid us significantly...We need him to be recruited. Because with him on our side, we'll most definitely be invincible." Yuki nods, looking up at the bleak, dark sky. "Thus making it easier to achieve my goal." He then looks back at the group. "We'll ambush them when they enter the Zero Cave. That way, we can kidnap the two and possibly get the required MMs and WM I wanted. Understood?"
"But my lo--"
"I don't care if you hate him or not, Alro. His Mythical Power is too important to even reject this opportunity."
Alro then sighs heavily while looking down, nodding along with everyone else. "Yes sir." Alro and the others say in a firm tone. Clemence pats Alro on the back in a gentle manner.
"Oh it'll be alright. Surely you'll get along with the Riolu fella once we have him under control." The female Malamar says, smiling warmly.
"I guess..." Alro replies, staring at the display screen. Misstrike's eyes slowly change to their regular color and the screen itself began to fade away. Before it vanishes entirely, Sebastian sees Helena traveling with the crew and the Units, forming a concern look on his face.
Is that...? Sebastian thinks to himself before Nexus goes to tap him gently.
"Is something wrong?" The Toxicroak asks in a concerned manner. Sebastian looks at him for a moment before shaking his head.
"It's...nothing, really..."
End of the Cloyster Kingdom Arc.
End of Chapter 20.
