CHAPTER 136 – OTHER INFILTRATION

In the previous chapter we see how Selene confesses to Ash and until he falls in love with Selene they become something they called half-partner and to make it official they kissed but that was not all, suddenly, Tapu Koko the guardian of the island, appeared in front of them and asked them to follow him, apparently, he entrusted them with the mission of taking care of two eggs belonging to two very powerful Ancestral Pokémon and in return gave them a Z-Ring, but now, they must explain to everyone the reason for their delay.

...

With Ash.

"Did the guardian really entrust that mission to you?" - asked the professor in surprise.

"That's right, plus the only thing we don't know is when the eggs will hatch but the rest is all true" - I nodded.

"Pika pi!" – Pikachu nodded.

"Exactly, we didn't lie" - Selene nodded.

"Ok, okay, we believe you but next time let us know that you are going to be late, we were worried about you, nothing more" – said the professor Burnet.

"Sorry for not warning and it won't happen again" – I said in an apologetic tone.

"All sorted out then, let's go to dinner that dinner is going to get cold at this rate!" – said the professor with a smile.

After that, we all had a nice dinner if not because in the middle of it I got a call.

"It's Looker brother, you should pick up" - Molly said, looking at the number.

It was a hidden number but the only one who calls with a hidden number is Looker so you didn't have to be very smart to know who it was.

"You're right, if he calls then it must be something important" – I said picking up the phone.

"Good night Ash! Do you have time?" - asked Looker.

"Well... I was having dinner" – I answered.

"I'm sorry but this call can't wait, would you mind lending me a few minutes of your time? It's important" - Looker said.

Since it's important then I guess I can talk.

"I can, tell me, what happened, is it something related to Team Magma or Aqua?" - I said.

"No, it's not about them, it was an organization that has recently appeared in Sinnoh" - Looker said.

"What kind of organization?" – I asked.

Obviously I already know but I still have to ask.

"They call themselves Team Galaxy, at first they only committed petty theft and we didn't give them much importance but recently they have started buying certain suspicious things and in a huge quantities, we know they are up to something and it may be related to the Team Rainbow Rocket, so we need you and the girls" - said Looker.

"Unfortunately the girls are not with me, they will come in a few days but you can call them" – I said.

"Mmm, I could, but there's no time, you have Courtney so with that you would be two, plus I can call that girl and you would be three with her... do you have someone talented out there who can come? Remember that we need talents, you can't be just anyone and he/she has to be trustworthy" - Looker said.

I thought about it a little and soon I realized someone talented, someone very talented, Selene, who although she is a rookie is the protagonist of the Pokémon Sun and Moon games so naturally she is a prodigy, only now she is starting but this will come in handy to improve.

"I know someone very talented who will be very helpful to us" - I nodded.

"That saves me a lot of work, we've discovered that Team Galaxy is going to start recruiting people but unfortunately we don't have any spies inside" - Looker said.

"I understand you want us to do the test, but how are we going to access them?" – I asked confused.

"Luckily our people are very good at their work and have managed to intercept 4 people who were carrying an invitation, we will only have to make up a little so that you have similar features and you will fit perfectly" – said Looker.

"Well, when do we have to go?" – I asked.

"Tomorrow at 13:00 you will have to be at the Pokémon Center in Veilstone City, that's where they have their base and where the tests will be carried out, tomorrow I will give you more details of the situation, by the way, at this time my agents must be buying your tickets and in a few minutes they will arrive in your mail" – said Looker.

"It's a bit early but we'll go" - I said.

"I'm sorry, it's our fault but we didn't manage to figure out when the proof would be until this afternoon, it was very difficult to find out" - Looker apologized.

"Don't worry, we'll be there tomorrow" - I said.

"Thank you, now I have to go make some preparations, if you don't mind I'll leave" - Looker said.

And as always and without saying goodbye, he hung up.

"It looks like it's going to be a pretty busy this few days" - said the professor.

"It looks so" - I nodded.

"But I don't understand, you said you knew of someone talented, who will go with you?" – Lillie asked.

I smiled and looked to my left.

"Selene, she'll be the one to come with me" - I said with a smile.

"What, are you serious?" – asked Selene surprised.

"Yes, very seriously" – I nodded.

"No, no, no, that's impossible, I'm not talented enough to do that" - Selene denied.

"You're wrong, not only you're talented but you're also a genius, I'm sure of that" - she said seriously.

"But Ash, i just started a few days ago and I'm not very good at battle yet" - Selene said.

"That's why I say it, you need real battle experience, that's why this mission will be perfect, plus during my training I realized how talented you are, you just need battle experience" - I said.

"But..." – said Selene somewhat reluctantly.

"Ash is right, you are very talented, this experience will suit you well for the Island Challenge" – nodded the teacher.

"If the master says you're talented, then you are definitely talented" - Courtney said.

"Exactly, Sister Selene is very talented, plus if the brother says you're the right one, then you are" - Molly said proudly.

"Everyone is right, you should go" – nodded Lillie.

"Professor, what do you think?" - asked Selene.

"I think the same as the others, Ash is right, you are very talented, but you lack experience and it is normal considering that you have been training Pokémon for a few days, so I think this experience will be good for you, I think you should go with Ash and Courtney" – said the professor Burnet.

Selene was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed.

"Okay, I'll go" - Selene said.

"Perfect, then we'd better go to sleep, tomorrow we'll have to leave early, it will take us a few hours to arrive to Sinnoh" – I said with a smile.

"Master, I'll get your stuff ready for tomorrow" - Courtney said.

"No need, knowing Looker will surely provide us with everything, so let's just go with what we wear and our Pokémon, which reminds me that I must give you one thing..." – I said taking something out of my pants pocket.

"That's..." – Courtney said in surprise.

It's 4 Pokéball that the man handed me at the airport.

"They're your Pokémon, you'll need them to defend yourself" - I said, handing him his Pokéball.

"But master... are you sure you want to give them to me?" - asked Courtney.

"I hope that's not an insinuation that you're dangerous or something, because I'd be pretty angry if that's what you think" - I said frowning.

"Ah, sorry master!" – Courtney apologized.

"Hahaha, just kidding, don't worry, I was actually going to give them to you the same day, but so many things happened that I forgot, even when we finish the mission you can keep them, they are your Pokémon after all" – I said with a smile.

"There is also plenty of space in the garden for them to enjoy" – nodded professor.

"Thank you, master" - Courtney said.

Then she came up to me and said something in a whisper.

"Then you can punish me for doubting you master, I will be happy to receive your punishment" – she said in a whisper.

Hearing his words I just coughed.

"Anyway, we should go to sleep, tomorrow will be a very long day" – I said quickly.

"And very lonely, I know I can't go... but I will feel very lonely without you brother" – Molly said sadly.

"It's only going to be a few days, I'm sorry Molly but I have to go" - I said, stroking her head.

"But come back, please come back as soon as possible" - Molly said, hugging me.

She still has some of the trauma caused by the Unown, one day, her father had to leave at night and when she woke up he had disappeared, she is also a little girl, it is normal that some traumas remain.

"But what are you saying Molly? I'm your brother, obviously I'll come back and do it before you know I'm gone!" – I said hugging her.

...

Several minutes later.

It was a bit early but we still went to bed, tomorrow we had to get up relatively early to catch the flight to Sinnoh and we had to be rested, the good thing is that I was able to release my stress after punishing Courtney in the bathroom, you understand me.

The bad thing is that I hate to leave Molly alone, I don't like it but it will only be a few days and the professor and Lillie will take great care of her, I'm sure of it.

As for Latias, she decided to come with me but since she could not come in human form, she would have to go in her Pokéball to which she reluctantly accepted.

As for my Pokémon, I will take Pikachu, Latias, Mew, Meloetta, Manaphy, Charizard and Lopunny, my strongest Pokémon, I do not know what dangers I will have to get into so I will have to take my best Pokémon with me and if things get ugly I will lend some of my to Selene so she can defend herself.

With these thoughts in mind, I slowly closed my eyes and soon fell asleep as I hugged my little sister.

...

The next morning.

We were able to get up almost at the same time as always and as there were still a few hours before the plane left, we had breakfast quietly and then said goodbye to everyone.

Luckily, Professor Kukui was very kind to take us to the airport by car, so we didn't spend money on a taxi.

When we arrived at the airport, the professor said goodbye to us.

"Guys, this is as far as I can go, I hope everything goes well and Ash, don't worry, I'll take care of Molly as if she were my daughter" - said the professor.

"I don't doubt it, now we're leaving, goodbye professor, we'll see you in a few days" – I said with a smile.

"Goodbye!" – said both women.

And after that we simply left behind the professor who greeted us with a smile.

...

In the Sinnoh region, specifically in Veilston City.

We had arrived without any incident to Sinnoh and now we were about to go to the Pokémon Center, unfortunately we could not observe the wonders of the City because we had to go directly to our destination, the only thing I could observe is that it was bad weather, it seemed that it was going to rain at any time, the good thing is that the temperature was pleasant.

What little I could see of the City was quite nice and big, nothing like video games, it is closer to anime, it was also a very crowded City with a lot of people and Pokémon walking through the streets.

We arrived at the Pokémon Center in about a 10-minute walk and enter.

As always, the Pokémon Center was the same.

We walked inside expecting to see Looker there until Nurse Joy spoke to us.

"You must be Ash, Selene and Courtney, come with me, who you know is waiting for you in the meeting room" - said nurse Joy.

The three of us nodded and followed her to the same room which last time, seriously, was identical without any change, heck, it was even the same furniture.

"I'm afraid I can't get in but Mr. Looker is sitting there, good luck" - said nurse Joy.

And then she left.

"Looker, we're here" - I said as the three of us approached.

And suddenly I saw her, the girl Looker had invited this time was the female protagonist of the gamos of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet , Juliana.
