Hearing

Far away in a secret location…

Lysandre looked at a screen, "Xerosic." Xerosic sat at a computer, saying, "There is a 70% that he escaped with the Sinnoh champion. Malva should have escaped as well. The Research Data has been transferred and most personnel are on their way. Apart from GM-9 and B-1.5 the losses are negligible."

Lysandre had his hands behind his back, "And Zygarde?" Xerosic shook his head, "Also escaped." Lysandre nodded before walking away, "Continue operations." Xerosic asked, "The Footage, Boss?" Lysandre paused and thought about it, "There's no need to release it. It would only turn his attention back to us. This time he only came for Bryony, our business should be done with him."

Xerosic blinked and Lysandre narrowed his eyes, "Find out who revealed Bryony's news. The traitor must be dealt with immediately!" Xerosic nodded, "Understood, Boss." Lysandre patted his jacket and looked at a giant stone in the shape of 50% Zygarde, before leaving.

He passed through an elevator, arriving in Lumiose and walking out of a Bathroom in a cafe.

He smiled and sat down, "Sorry for the wait, Diantha." Diantha smiled, "It's alright, are you okay?" Lysandre nodded with a confident smile, "Never been better."

Ace appeared in the sky above the explosion site, holding Cynthia and Garchomp, looking down. Cynthia looked at the massive hole, "Did you…" Ace replied, "No. They did that themselves."

He dropped down and landed in the crater, walking over to the middle.

He looked at the two metal lumps and let out a breath, "But I did kill the one who wronged me." Cynthia got down and dusted her clothes, frowning slightly, asking, "This…" Ace explained the whole process and Cynthia was silent for a few seconds before sighing and patting his shoulder.

Ace shook his head, "They have the footage. I can't run even if I want to." Cynthia frowned slightly and they were surrounded by Officer Jenny instantly. Jenny ran over, "Huh? Sinnoh Champion?" Cynthia smiled and waved, "Hello."

Jenny walked over, frowning, "What's going on here?" Ace turned around and Jenny nearly shot him with a pistol! This guy was covered in blood, by the way! Cynthia waved her arm, "Don't worry about him, just helping me."

Ace shook his head and said, "Notify the League, Jenny. This is very important." Cynthia looked at him and Ace said seriously, "Can't cover it up. This is something that affects all of Kalos. Also… it'll do me some good to get this off my chest." Cynthia pointed out, "Then you'd…"

Ace shook his head, "It doesn't matter anymore." Cynthia frowned and turned away, "It matters." Ace just let out a breath.

A while later

All the Professors, and the Kalos league were notified by Jenny. The Regional Commander of the Officer Jennies called a hearing in the official Pokemon League building in Kalos.

A few days later

Ace stood in front of the Professors, Elite Four, Champion, Jenny chief, and Charles Goodshow, the President of the League. There was also another woman, standing next to Charles with her hands behind her back.

Cynthia detailed the situation, "We arrived at the Complex and it turned out to be a Team Flare HQ…" she continued speaking and Ace cut her off, "Let me explain." Cynthia sighed and touched her forehead, waving.

Ace looked at everyone and said flatly, "I killed two Team Flare Scientists and destroyed most of the base complex. Two Scientists escaped while the last one wasn't there at all, just a hologram." he clapped and a hologram appeared and showed the entire process from cameras.

After watching the video, an old lady version of Officer Jenny looked at Ace, frowning in thought. Charles sat at the head chair, "How did you know that it was a Team Flare base." Ace replied, "I paid someone off."

Jenny frowned and looked over, Charles nodded at her before turning back, "Why?" Ace replied simply, "That woman killed my Pokemon, so I killed her." The Professors looked at each other as Siebold crossed his legs, "And the other grunts?"

Ace replied honestly without changing his face, "Whether they live or die doesn't matter to me. They're an evil organization." Diantha snorted, "It's our job to investigate, not yours!"

Ace ignored her, continuing, "One of your Elite Four is a part of Team Flare and they clearly have more than one HQ. This one was out in the open, but was never investigated. If your Champion did her job, this wouldn't have happened at all."

Charles was silent and Diantha grit her teeth, but didn't say anything. Cynthia stepped in, "I understand Ace's actions were harsh, but they got results in the end. This complex seemed to be a Main base for Team Flare. Even if the methods were… well, needlessly ruthless… the main point is that Team Flare lost a base. It can be considered a good result."

Sycamore hesitated before finally saying, "The methods were cruel, but considering the circumstances…" he sighed, "I don't know if I would go so far as torture, but I would take it upon myself to get revenge."

Ace was stunned, looking at Cynthia and Sycamore in shock. They looked at him and nodded slightly. Charles frowned and Officer Jenny said slowly, "Even then. Murder and Torture is too far." Ace didn't say anything.

Officer Jenny continued speaking, "But-" before she could finish, the door was kicked open!
