Intel from Giovanni

Matori arrived and scheduled a meeting with Ace in Silver Radio.

Matori looked at him, "The Boss agrees with your plans. In short, you will supply the Eggs for 3 Breeding farms. These Eggs will be the First generation and a Professional Breeder will take care of the rest. As for the sales, there's no need to worry about this, but you will be receiving 15% of the profits."

Ace waved, "I don't care about that, what else do you want." Matori took out a folder, pushing up her glasses, "This is your reward from the Boss himself. After you supply your side of the plan, you can have it." Ace rolled his eyes and threw her a Bracelet.

Matori grabbed the bracelet and looked at the screen on it, raising her brows, "So many Eggs?!" Ace ignored her and picked up the folder with an amused smile, 'I wonder what Giovanni got for me?' He opened it and read the contents.

His smile slowly faded from his face as he continued reading. He gripped the folder and Matori noticed that it was getting colder and colder. She was startled and looked up to see Ace breathing heavily, staring at the folder.

Black lightning arced off his body, lashing the ground as an unimaginable coercive anger burst from his body, spreading wildly!

The folder was incinerated, leaving only a single picture of Bryony up and walking with cybernetic parts.

Matori burst into a cold sweat, looking very scared as though her entire body was screaming at her to run quickly.

Ace took deep breaths staring at the picture before silently leaving the Silver Radio Building. He looked up at the sky and closed his eyes, reigning in his Conqueror's Haki. He touched his forehead and rubbed his temples in silence.

He thought about many things.

Especially what to do now.

Ace turned and stepped on the ground, disappearing.

He appeared on the cliff in front of his house, looking down at Oreburgh. He sat down on the edge and texted Roark to accept Challengers instead. 

After that, he turned his phone off and tossed it aside, releasing his Pokemon in the backyard, "I want to be alone for a while. Go rest in the backyard." The Pokemon looked at each other as Sirfetch'd waved his wing, "Sir." while scooting the others into the backyard.

Noivern looked at Ace, "Noi?" Ace waved over his shoulder and Noivern scratched his head, curling up next to him. Ace looked at Noivern before forgetting about it.

He looked out at the city in silence.

Last seen location- Lysandre Labs.

The problem was, this decision would 100% be abandoning everything he built here. While he didn't have to drop the company… depending on the result, it would total everything he made with his own hands.

The money, he didn't care for. The reputation, he didn't care either.

The worst part was that depending on his own actions, he would lose not only these material things but his friends and colleagues… Ace closed his eyes, he knew that if he saw her in front of him, there was 0% chance that she would be able to get away alive.

Bryony died in his hands and that would be the end.

The trouble was the aftermath. Ace liked Byron, Roark, Cynthia… all his friends. Even Elesa. What would she do if she found out he mangled another person…

Not to mention that Ace made an agreement with Ash and Paul. He wasn't too keen on breaking that agreement…

But… Bryony must die! And he must end her miserable life with his own hands!

So, the problem was how to get everything without losing anything…

An impossible problem.

If he kills Bryony, what would people think? If he didn't, he would feel ashamed for the rest of his life. He couldn't even take revenge for his dead Pokemon, how dare he train more? If the same thing happened again, would he just let the other person get away scot-free?

This was impossible.

For revenge, to ease his own guilt… he had to kill her himself. All these years till now, he still felt intense guilt with a hint of self-loathing. Maybe Revenge wouldn't help, but it's a start.

So, since he was going to avenge his Pokemon, how could he do it in a way that he keeps everything… Should he tell Cynthia? Maybe contact Professor Oak? Sycamore? Bruno?

Ace ran his hands through his hair in thought with his eyes closed. He really didn't know what to do. He wanted time to think and be alone, with that thought, he picked up his phone and went inside.

He sat in front of his Laptop and started working on other projects to clear his mind.

After a week without contact, Cynthia knocked on his door.

Ace opened the door with dark eyes, "What." Cynthia blinked, "Um. Are you okay? Elesa said you didn't answer the phone for a week…" Ace wiped his nose, looking at her blankly, "I'm busy." 

Cynthia was stunned and questioned, "Too busy for your girlfriend??" Ace didn't answer and Cynthia frowned, "Well, obviously something's wrong." Ace took out his phone and texted Elesa 'I'm fine, just busy.'

Then he showed Cynthia before closing the door.

Cynthia was speechless, she knocked again and Ace opened the door, rubbing his face, "What?!" Cynthia asked him seriously, "What happened? You don't look so good." Ace frowned, "I told you I'm fine, are you deaf?" Cynthia sneered, "You don't look 'fine'!" she clicked on her watch and projected Elesa's face, "Ace! Are you okay!? What's going on?? Why do you look like you haven't slept in a week?"

Ace sniffed and looked at Elesa, "I'm doing something." Elesa puffed her cheeks cutely, "And what are you doing that's more important than me?!" Ace scratched his eye, "Things!" Elesa was stunned, "And stuff?" Ace nodded, "Yes! Stuff and Things! I'm fine! Are you okay? That's great! I love you! Ciao~" before hanging up Cynthia's watch.

Cynthia was shocked and Ace scratched his head in irritation, getting another 18 calls from Elesa before looking at his wrist.

[Giovanni: Need help?]

Ace looked at the message in a daze and his eye twitched before he finally snapped. He walked out of the house and shouted, "Noivern!" Noivern looked up and leaned back, seeing Ace's eyes.

Ace got on him and said, "Go to Lumiose!" the other Pokemon looked over and Ace waved, "I don't need yo-" he paused and took them all back in their Pokeballs before flying away.

Cynthia watched him leave in a daze. She called out Garchomp and said, "Follow him." while getting on Garchomp, tapping on her watch.

Ace stood on Noivern, looking ahead. This week was not helpful. Nothing got done and he sat in a daze for most of the time. He couldn't even sleep!

Bryony needed to die!

Immediately!
