********************
Chapter Begins:
Afternoon, June 20
New Bark Town
A brilliant, cloudless sky shone gray in Kai's hazel, reptilian eyes behind the glasses.
The sound of Pokemon was at every corner. There was a Pokemon Center in the middle of the town, and at the town's western entrance was Professor Elm's lab.
Kai's gaze moved down to the mansion.
He was wearing Indiana Jones-like clothing. A brown hat over his head, a dusty white shirt, and brown pants. His belt showcased the shrank version of the three custom-made Pokeballs.
The first of the three was a red, yellow, and white Pokeball.

Kai tapped the three Pokeballs with a small on his face and looked to his left.
In a plain yellow cassock, was Meg. Her hair blazed like a fiery fireball as it sat on her head, tied in a neat bun. Her breasts were challenging the looseness of the cassock, and her brown eyes kept looking around, in search of any trouble. Tiny paper insects kept leaving and coming to her, now and then.
"Shall I knock, then?" a voice came from Kai's right.
Kai adjusted his head and saw Petyr cladded in formal black suits and pants with a bowler hat. There was a cane embedded with gems in his hand, which he had requested Kai to buy for him.
They had come here with a plan, knowing well that there might be Contestants from the 2nd Set, or above, watching over Professor Elm with him being a main storyline Character.
Kai had many things to do and all of them were centered on Professor Elm.
Days ago, the moment he got to know about this scientist, Kai had searched him and his area of research using the Internet. Professor Elm specialized in Pokemon breeding and was credited for the discovery of Pokemon Eggs. According to the famous Professor Oak, Professor Elm was the best in the research of Pokemon Evolution.
Kai's needs matched Elm's area of expertise perfectly. He had both the eggs and a matter of evolution that he needed him to look at. Not to mention the obvious task of getting a Pokemon and the Pokedex.
But not just anyone could request the Professor's attention.
Our plan should take care of that, Kai thought, amusingly, and nodded to Petyr.
Petyr knocked twice, and all waited for a response.
The wait didn't last long. The light wooden doors creaked as they opened, and lo-and-behold, they found themselves facing a Contestant in a butler's garb. Kai choked on the sheer amount of Mana. Still, compared to Red Sun, this Contestant felt lacking.
Just why someone like him, a 9th-floor Contestant, is watching over Kurt, Kai wondered, greeting his teeth. The man standing in front of him was powerful, but no way he was from a floor above the 2nd Set. So, it puzzled Kai the most. There's some mystery about Red Sun. Hmm,,,
This Contestant was a white-haired and white-bearded old man. Like Red Sun, he too couldn't look away from Petyr after opening the doors. Petyr's eyes were closed as if he couldn't have cared less about what was happening around him.
It was Meg who spoke, her voice crisp, sharp, and condemning. "Temple business," she hissed coolly. "Fuck off!"
Only then did the monster turn his head to give Meg a look.
He said nothing, but Kai could see the clatter of his teeth and the tremble of his jawline. Kai could guess what the old man was thinking about Meg and Petyr. A Priestess and a Contestant from above the 3rd Set. Both looked like someone who had come down to a low-grade mission by restricting their Stats.
The silence lasted for a while before the Contestant gave a last, but disgusting, look to Kai and welcomed them in. "Wait here," he said, sneering. "Professor Elm is in his laboratory. I would let him know about your unannounced visit."
The moment he disappeared behind a turn at the end of a long corridor, Meg sighed. "He should have kneeled at the merest sight of my clothing," she commented. "I wouldn't have cursed him then."
-/What's done is done/- Kai told her telepathically, keeping Petyr in the loop. -/Petyr. Remember to hit on Professor Elm's obsession./-
"Oh, I know where and when to hit," Petyr said, slyly. "Don't worry, my lord."
-/If I have guessed Professor Elm's nature right, then he won't come to see us./-
Kai couldn't have been more right.
Only a few moments had passed when the butler returned. Alone.
"Professor is busy," he said, scornfully. "He won't be seeing anyone. His research can last for days, so…"
Heh! Kai sneered. He wants to say to us fuck off, too.
"Young man," Petyr said, opening his eyes for the first time. "Go tell him we have found a new Pokemon species."
The old man didn't dare to smile while looking at Petyr. After a few seconds, he bowed and went back to convey the message.
"We are walking on thin ice, master," Meg whispered, sweat drenching her back. "Contestants on missions like these don't care about anything other than the main storyline Character's safety. But it won't prevent us from facing his wrath, either. Let's hope he won't persist in remaining with us during our meeting."
Kai was a little worried about that too. There wasn't much they could do about it, though.
The noise of hurried footsteps reached them before they could see anyone this time.
Professor Elm appeared in the corridor, taking big strides toward them. He was wearing a large white lab coat over green pants and brown shoes. His brown hair was messy and a pair of brown eyes greeted them from behind the huge, round glasses.
"Where is it?" he asked excitedly. "Hello, I am Professor Elm. And you are?"
Kai could tell the absentmindedness of the Professor from his jumbled way of talking. It was as he had predicted. Professor Elm was just on the borderline of being called a mad scientist. It was the good crowd around him, and his being seclusive, that was preventing Professor Elm from going off-course.
The shaking came suddenly.
Kai had been waiting for it. He had told Meg that he wanted to devour Daenerys' tale, as he was bound to meet her at the end of his mission. The Mother of Dragons seemed like the worthiest tale to him when he had read about her from the data of Thunder Faction.
She is useless, Meg had said bluntly. She would be a child when you would meet her, master. So the devoured tale would be about a girl, who escaped from the clutches of her enemies and is now sold to a Dothraki lord. That's it. Professor Elm is a better alternative. The best would have been Professor Oak, but we won't have time to go to him and return on time, I think.
The thought had excited Kai too much. So, yes. There was this reason too for him to come here.
To devour Professor Elm's tale.

AN: I need some help with my books at RR and Scribble Hub. On RR, there aren't many ratings at all, preventing me from moving up in the rankings. On Scribble Hub, like last time, as soon as I began hitting ranks, some idiots dumped 1 and 2 star ratings for absolute bs. I have a deal for you regarding this. If you can help, take out a few minutes and just drop a rating on both sites.
With every new rating (either on RR or on SH) - 1 Bonus Chapter.
So you have a Bonus Chapter waiting at just a click's distance. Hope you guys will continue supporting the fic. Thanks a lot guys!
Good Luck.
