To the locker with you!

BOOOM!

The metal hanger doors the size of flood gates were smashed to pieces and caved in as 4 glowing orange fists pierced through. A silhouette of a man and a giant could be seen walking in.

"I'll make this short and simple, where is the manager, if you can do that, I would be very thankful." He said in a loud and clear voice. The workers who were shocked stiff sighed in relief and one of them stepped forward and pointed at an office.

"Thank you. Machamp." He said without looking at his Pokémon. Machamp grinned and shot out from the ground and crashed into the office. The screams of the manager rung out and echoed through the now silent steel factory.

Machamp landed with a ground trembling thud with another man dangling from his right hand.

"We meet again manager. I thought we were on good terms. To think that you would backstab me and attempt to rob me. That hurt my feeling you know that?" he asked, his voice becoming pained and sorrowful. Everyone believed it for a moment before seeing the menacing smile on his face that showed anything but sadness.

When the manager heard that voice he paled and began to shake. "Oh? it seems you know your sins." He said before grabbing the man by the neck and holding him up.

He then leaned in until he was very close and whispered, "Do you fear... death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare, all your sins punished?" he asked, his grin widening even further, dark red aura seeped out of his body which formed into the face of a devil.

Everyone began to shiver and cower away when they saw that. Even Machamp began to shiver slightly at the sight. Unaware of his change, Rex continued to stare at the man waiting for an answer.

"I-I-I do." The fat man answered while continuing to shake even more intensely. Rex smiled, "Then I'll let your soul rot in the depths of hell." He said and crushed the man's neck with his bare hand. The body fell limply to the ground and so did the head before beginning to roll for a couple of meters.

Rex stared at his blood-stained hand with a frown, "Anyone got a rag or cloth to clean my hand? I dirtied it with this monkey's blood." He asked as he looked around. A man who seemed to be very brave got up off the floor and walked towards Rex before handing him a cloth.

"Machamp, please do me a favour and burn the body please." He asked. Machamp came forward and burnt the body to ash before returning to his spot.

"Thanks. I'll be taking over this steel factory. You will not be losing your jobs. You will even get a 50% raise. As for you…" he said as he looked at the man in front of him, "You will take the position of manager. I'll be making some improvements to the machines and tech you are using to increase efficiency. If you need anything call me. As for now, keep working as you do." He finished, handed the man a number and walked out the door.

Everyone was standing there speechless. That guy just walked in, killed a guy, took over the factory and walked out. After a brief silence, the whole place erupted into cheers. "We're getting a massive raise lads. Beers on me tonight!" yelled one of the men.

Everyone cheered even louder when they heard that.

*CLAP* *CLAP*

"Everyone, go back to work. We can't slack off!" yelled the man who handed the cloth to Rex. Nobody complained and instantly returned to their jobs.

Rex who was monitoring them through the camera s nodded contentedly.

"System award that man with 100 thousand. Next hack into the company that owns the steel factory and make them sell. I don't care how you do it. I want it done as quickly as possible. If you have to, drown them in money. After all, man's greed is boundless." He said in a hushed voice as he walked down the street to his bike.

[Got it. the factory is owned by 'Mining incorporated'. There are similar factories in every region.] it commented.

"Is it profitable to invest?" he asked.

[ it is. Steel and metals are always in high demand. Owning the company itself would be a better move.] it recommended.

"Then do it. I don't care what you do, find dirt, blackmail them, I want the majority of the shares for their company in my pocket as soon as possible." He said sternly.

[sure. That won't be a problem, the company seems to be under stress due to rivalling companies and financial problems. Both can be exploited. Estimated time until the host is the new biggest shareholder... 2 days and 15 hours.] it analysed.

"Perfect," he said while nodding and headed to the Pokémon centre. He forgot about getting the KlingKlang from Oak. It had slipped his mind in his excitement. Luckily those idiots gave him the chance to come back.

Upon arrival, he headed to a nearby PC and logged in before calling the Professor.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

"Oh! Rex perfect timing, I was just about to call you. I have it right here in this Pokeball. Do you want it now?" he asked.

"Yes Professor, thank you again. When I'm done with the league, I have a massive business deal I would like you to be a part of." Rex mentioned with a wide grin.

"Oh? that sounds interesting. I'm up for hearing what you have to offer. I've sent it now. Did you receive it?" he asked.

*pop*

A ball materialized in the circular slot next to the computer.

"Yes, I did. Thank you again. I'll be seeing you in a while." He waved and ended the call. Rex held the Pokeball in his hand and smiled even brighter.

"This is going to be epic." He mumbled and hopped onto his bike and headed east again
