PART EIGHTY

E xiting the elevators Jenny led Jack over towards one of the acquisitioned meeting room up on the first floor was not unsimilar to what one would have found in just about any office building, there were numerous doors leading to offices for the behind the scenes day to day running of all the facilities with in the building. Inside was spartan with only the bare essentials such as chairs and a long wide table, lap top had been set up at one end. One of officer Jenny's subordinates stood nearby as if their only purpose was to watch over it, noticing her the man left to wait outside while she walked the trainer around the table, sliding out a chair for him to sit down in. His weavile friend wasting no time as the moment he sat down Oni jumped up into his lap, where she began to purr loudly as his hand ran across her soft warm fur while the Officer Jenney dragged the laptop closer.

“Okay, I believe it's best to start at the beginning so that we have context to build upon, at twelve forty-five hundred hours. Tina Madison from the Alola Region was found partial consumed by her own pokémon, the pokémon a salazzle had devoured both of its own trainers' legs from the thighs down and the left arm."

Jenny paused to let this sink in as she opened the laptop and booted it up before carrying on.

“Ms Madison's face was partial dissolved by the same pokémon highly corrosive poison, we were forced to put the poison; fire type down in order to rescue her, she is alive though barely as her memories have been wiped clean leaving her in a highly vulnerable mental state. Now I need to ask you what you know about Ms Madison and her connection with her pokémon but most of all what could have set the salazzle off?"

Jack thought about this intently as he pieced together what he little he knew about the girl and her reptilian friend, taking a breath he began his reply as she ran her finger along the touch sensitive trackpoint to bring up one the files on the screen to show vile; gristly images he would rather have done anything to never have seen.

“Oh arceus..I think I'm gonna throw up!"

Jack gagged, Oni had already leapt down from his lap as she hurriedly brought over one of the conference rooms small cylindrical bin, bent over he began losing the contents from that mornings breakfast while his dear pokémon gently rubbed his back. It took him a good while before he was able to gather both his thoughts and his breath, he was grateful Jenny had closed the laptop as he doubted, he could have handled seeing the images a second time.

*“My apologies mr thornten, but I do need you to answer in as much details as you can!" *

Her tone while not confrontation was persistently demanding which raised the Weavile ire to no end but the dark ice type kept her desire to see this female off in check, taking a moment to put the bin to one side Jack closed his eyes as he looked back to when he ha first saw the young girl from Alola.

“It was several days ago after having made my way through route nine from grass veil, there was a large gathering of trainers on the other side, so Tina had gotten folks to donate some of their medical supplies for a make shift treatment area.

Like many I gave a number of my potions; antidotes and heals, I even helped her carry what had been gathered back to where the make medical station had been set up by the rand a number of other trainers."

He mused with his eyes closed and head bowed then after a few moments continued speaking.

“Tina seemed happy and her pokémon content when I left for Forest City, it wasn't until I cued up in the pokémon centre below for a room for the night when I met Tina again that's when the riot broke out"

Jenny winced remembering trouble she and her officers had to deal with while putting down that ruckus, he paused looking at her as if about to ask if she was alright but she just gave a slight smile before putting on her normal serous expression.

“After that we went to our rooms, that's the last I saw of her, she seed very happy and spirited as was her pokémon, that's all know"

Jack noted as he finished his statement to her, she looked at him for a good half minuet as he began running his finger tips through the fur on top of Oni's head, the weavie happily began to nuzzle up against the palm of his hand. Giving a sigh Jenny give a slow nod as she spoke with a more reassuring tone, she seemed satisfied with his story.

“I'm sorry this can't have been easy for you what with your controversial defeat, during the contest yesterday, not to mention the gym turning away appointments for challenges the this."

Reaching over she placed a hand on his shoulder for a brief second giving it a gentle squeeze, leaning back in her chair she maintains a gentle demeanour as she begins a new line of questioning.

“Speaking of the forest city gym I was wondering if anything out of the ordinary occurred there?"

She watched for any tell-tale facial of body language that would indicate he was hiding anything from her while he replied to her question.

“Not really, went in the receptionist was kind and apologetic; about not about not being able pencil me in for challenge with the gym leader, my girlfriend turned up to pick me up, she had herself a swanky suite at one the hotels nearby where she let me stay with her the night."

Cocking her head ever so slightly, she watched him speak as if not really thinking about the what had been asked, she had watched his hand making a fuss of his weavile, it hadn't paused even for a second.

“I ask because there is a discrepancy in gyms camera footage and in the time, people watched you enter to when you left with your significant other."

Again, there was no reaction that would have betrayed him there was a silence for a few moments between the two humans as she took her sweet time getting to her feet, holding a hand out she gave another small smile.

“Thank you for your time mr thornten, you've been of considerable help"

Jack stood up with a faint smile, he still felt somewhat queasy from the images he had seen, he didn't understand what help he could have possibly been but accepted the hand and firm warm grip behind it. Office Jenny led him back to the lift watching the elevators close behind him as he was taken back down to the main lobby, her smile swiftly left her face as headed to a private office across from the meeting room where one of her subordinates waited for her with his white and blue meowstic.

“Well?"

Jenny asked the man, he looked at her his features just as serious looking as her own as he scratched behind the psychic pokémon ear something the female seemed to enjoy greatly as it purred loudly in delight from her partners show affection.

“First off Ma'am, I want it on record that I do not agree with the invasion of the trainer's mental privacy, there are regulation against doing this sort of thing with a warrant or the individual's consent"

The officer spat unhappily at the breach in protocols, Jenny gave a curt nod before speaking again.

“Noted, Now what did you find out?"

The man frowned for a moment his eyes matching his superiors own steely cold gaze, giving a sigh as he looked away to give his report.

“Well ma'am, his minds a mess, it's a patchworks of psychic thread from what could well have been a desperate attempt at rewiring his brain, meowstic did what she could to tip toe around the mess without turning him into a vegetable, she was able to pick up a strong psychic presence that kept blocking us from accesses his memories.

Meowstic believes he may have been attacked by that rouge ghost pokémon as well but unlike the girl and the other victims he had a psychic pokémon to save him, of course this is only speculation, not fact."

Jenny clasped her chin as she absorbed this, her mind processing every last bit of information, dissecting each fact until coming to numerous possible conclusions then mentally filing them away for future contemplation.

“So, the rouge pokémon could have been disturbed or driven away before it could finish with him, which cold mean our prey may return to finish what it started?"

Officer Jenny mused her eyes narrowing as she pondered her next move.

“We need to play this carefully; I don't want those pokémon rangers stealing this one out from under us."

Down in the lobby Jack was reunited with both Ahsoka and the rest of the group, he smiled as he felt the large ebony amazon drape her arms around the back of his neck as she leans down to part his lips with her own.

“She wasn't too hard on you, was she?"

The giant of a woman asked as he leaned up into the kiss closing his eyes as he savoured the tingling sensation he felt every time she did this too him, after a couple of second their kiss turned into a couple of brushing kisses until at last, they pulled apart. He blushed brightly realising a number of people were staring at them though Ahoska did not seem to care one bit about this as if the disapproving stares at their public display of affection was beneath her.

He was grateful though to be in familiar company that he was comfortable with, the memories of what he had seen was still vividly present in his mind and it left him feeling some what anxious at would happen if his own friends turned on him as the salazzle had its own trainer. Such worries melted away as he felt Lucy's paw slip into his hand, there was an instant sense of warmth flooding through his body as there auras flowed into the others, it was dull glow as she held back not wishing to draw any further attention to them yet enough to reassure the human she adored so much.

“Let's go we've got a gym leader to challenge!"

Jack quietly announced with a soft smile sliding across his features, slipping an arm around him from his other side Ahsoka led him out of the pokémon centre confident the incident at the gym was now safely behind them.
