[ Celadon City ]

As the police van slowly approached the restricted part of Celadon City that was separated by a large forest.

Celadon City was never the metropolitan area, no, its roots could be traced to being an old military base that had been abandoned after the War with Orre's region was over.

Now it was being used as a landfill and the home to many the homeless people

Domino could feel the ominous weight of the abandoned and decaying surroundings. The once proud base had fallen into disrepair, with towering buildings now standing as nothing more than empty shells, a desolate testament to its decline.

The police van trudged forward, its headlights casting eerie shadows over the rubble-strewn streets. Ahead, the skyline was dominated by a massive landfill, a festering wound in the heart of the town. The landfill was a physical representation of the current day Celadon's situation, showing off the worst of Celadon's excess and waste as it was the biggest landfill in Kanto.

As the van pulled up to the entrance of the landfill, Domino's eyes were fixed on the towering piles of trash.

She glanced at one of the guards of the landfill, an agent of Team Rocket, the organization had converted this abandoned military base into a hub of their special services.

" You may enter."

" Next time, do it faster ?"

" My apologies, Agent Domino."

The massive metal doors of the entrance slowly began to open. The sound of grinding metal echoed through the desolate surroundings, signaling her arrival. The van crept forward, the headlights illuminating the dark and dingy interior of the landfill.

Domino smiled as she saw her trailer home in the distance. It was small and unassuming, sitting amidst the towering piles of garbage and refuse. But to her, it was a sanctuary, a place where she could escape from the troubles of the outside world.

She drove the police van towards the trailer, navigating the narrow and twisting pathways that wound through the landfill. The wheels of the van crunched over the loose gravel and debris, kicking up clouds of dust in its wake. As she neared her home, she could see that the area was more private and secluded, surrounded by towering walls of garbage that offered a measure of protection from prying eyes.

Domino parked the police van, taking a moment to simply sit and savor the peace and quiet of the landfill. She gazed out the window, taking in the view of the towering mountains of trash that surrounded her.

This was one of the top agents of Team Rocket's office. This unassuming trailer home contains a lot of the secrets of the underworld from assassination bills for politicians, documents of illegal import and export, Bank records showing large, unexplained deposits,

Audio recordings of illegal deals, video footage of the politicians accepting bribes, Emails and notes detailing a criminal enterprise and contracts for illegal services and products.

Domino rubbed her forehead and sighed in frustration.

She had been tasked with infiltrating a highly secure government facility to retrieve a classified document just as she finished this one.

It was a routine mission for her, but today seemed different. Everything was going wrong, and now she was stuck in a police van with a highly dangerous Muk that could have melted away the boy.

Thank Mew, she had allowed it to use its full power.

As she reached for the doors, she felt a sudden jolt as a hand shot through from the metallic door of the van as grabbed her by the neck.

A few seconds, later the metallic door was ripped apart, revealing Austin standing on the other side. He had Musharna on his head, and the Alolan Muk was struggling inside a dome of red aura.

Domino's heart raced as she realized she was in serious danger. She tried to reach for her communicator, but Austin was too quick for her. He grabbed her hand, preventing her from making the call. Domino felt a surge of adrenaline as she kicked off Austin's chest. Her knee connected with her own face, and she felt her front tooth break off.

She gasped in pain as the tooth fell to the ground, blinking and bleeping. It was a special gadget that she had been given by her agency. It released a supersonic sound that jolted the Alolan Muk into action as it began to grow and grow to break the aura dome around it.

The massive creature shot a tendril toward Austin's hand, who quickly jumped back, releasing Domino in the process. She crashed to the ground, coughing and gasping for air.

The situation was quickly spiraling out of control, and Domino knew she had to act fast. She reached for her gun, determined to bring Austin down. But as she raised the weapon, she was hit by a psychic blast from Musharna, sending her flying back. She hit the ground hard, her gun skidding away from her grasp.

The sound of pokeballs opening echoed through the landfill as Domino clicked on her wrist, and an Alakazam appeared by her side. Its eyes glowed with psychic energy, and it raised a paw, pointing towards a police van parked nearby. Suddenly, the van exploded in a burst of flame, metal, and debris.

As the smoke cleared, an Alolan Muk emerged from the wreckage, sliding smoothly out of the van and coming to rest beside Domino as she faced off against Austin who cracked his neck side to side with Musharna sitting on his head as she swayed from side to side.

Even in this dangerous situation, Musharna raised her pink paw because Austin's neck cracked and the swaying was fun.

{ Yay }

[ Lucario's POV ]

" Lucario! Please don't fall !" Yellow screamed out while her eyes were closed.

" Why did I agree to this ?!" Green similarly screamed as I ignored the screaming duo.

' Mew, if they scream so much now, I don't even what to know the decibels they're going to make when that brat grows up.'

Glancing to the sky, I could see the rat flying on Pidgeot's back with Austin's PokeBall belt.

Leaping through the bustling city of Celadon reminded me of the old days as I spied on the enemy. But my colors stood out against the towering skyscrapers and bustling crowds. The wind rushes past me as I soar through the air, my powerful legs propelling me forward.

I navigate through the busy streets, dodging cars and pedestrians as I make my way toward my destination. The city was a blur of sights and sounds, with neon lights flashing and engines roaring. But I am focused, my senses honed to detect any danger that may come my way.

As I soar over the city, I catch glimpses of its vibrant life. People hurrying to work, children playing in the park, vendors hawking their wares. It's a fascinating place, full of life and energy. And I was now a part of it, a powerful and graceful presence in this urban jungle.

But now wasn't the time to time to think about that, no, I needed to get towards that brat.

Something dangerous was near him but at least he had those two by his side.
