Pokemon Umbral Pierce's Sidequest: Revenge and Retribution

[Astral Harmony]

Ricewood Prepares For Battle

Jeanette looked thoughtful, then nodded. "Well, Faynoc didn't tell me to refrain from getting others involved, so I guess it couldn't hurt to let the agency know. Good idea, actually. I know some of them have some personal scores to settle themselves. Thank you for your advice."

After Pierce left, Jeanette summoned her most able assistant, Karen. "Get in touch with PATCA. Report my abducted daughter. Then-"

Suddenly, Jeanette's phone rang. Jeanette answered it, and was surprised at the timing of the call. "Understood. I'll be right there."

Jeanette walked very quickly and unlocked her desk. "Take this file to Rayleen and...wait one," Jeanette caught herself. She scribbled down the address to Millenium House on a purple Post-It Note and stuck it to the file. Then she handed the file to Karen. "Forget the call. Take this file to Rayleen. She knows what it is. Tell her that the address will take her to Millenium House. She'll take it from there. This shit ends tonight."
"At once, Professor." and shoom, that girl was out the door. Jeanette put out her cigarette and looked at White Avatar. "I've been dying for a field test," she breathed.

PATCA was going to know where to go very shortly. But Jeanette was going to be deep inside the compound long before they deployed.

Pierce Arrives at Millenium House

Millenium House clearly didn't look like a house. It looked like some kind of bunker, with numerous electronic sliding doors which probably concealed large turrets and other nasty surprises. None of these hatches slid open for Pierce, which left him to focus his attention on Whitney who was standing just outside the main entrance.

Just what the hell was she doing here?

Then Pierce drew closer and knew that it wasn't Whitney. She was a sexy Gardevoir, for sure, but all the light green parts were stark black. Instead of short light-green hair, this Gardevoir has long black hair. Instead of a ballroom dress, she wore black denim hot pants that left some of her butt exposed. Her breasts were barely concealed under a black studded leather halter top and she wore black boots. She had changed her weapons loadout since the last time they fought, and carried a very painful looking rusty battle axe and a top-of-the-line submachinegun.

Aria landed. Gardenoir turned around. Gardenoir's eyes glowed for a brief instant. "Pierce Granger of the Pokemon Advanced Tactics and Counterterrorism Agency," Gardenoir said. So she dipped into his mind to identify him. "Lopunnish and I are here to free all the Pokemon that are being subjected to Reynold Faynoc's cruel experiments. There's one in particular we'd like to save located deep inside the underground facility. Goes by the name of Enmekki. I'm out here making sure that we have an escape route in case Lopunnish gets locked inside. And, well, that's my little story. I already read you mind and can see why you're here. I see no reason for us to fight since our objectives are so different, so let's just not get started on that."

And just like that, Gardenoir dismissed Pierce and turned back to face the compound. The main entrance then slowly opened. "Looks like you're expected, Granger." Gardenoir said. But Gardenoir made no move to enter Millenium House.
